quote:The loss simply brings out what many have been thinking all along aside from the UW game. The offense is not good, and against good teams, we're in for a long night.
quote:On defense, not at all
quote:Did we get blown out by the top 10 team? No. We lead for most of the game. We just didn't finish.
quote:That Defense was better than ours now No It wasn't
quote:The same Jimbo Fisher that managed 0 offensive points against UF in 2003.
quote: This team hasn't beaten a ranked team much less a top 10 team. They aren't comparable at all just because both lost to UF with poor offensive performances.
quote:If you remember we had a ton of penalties in that game it was sooo sloppy. We were sky high from the Georgia game and it was a let down.
quote:SO You are saying that the 2012 D is better than the 2003 D???? If so you are a complete dumbass.
quote:In fact I would say that this defense is obviously better than the 2003 defense
quote:The 2003 team dropped to 13 in the polls after a terrible loss to UF
quote:Based on what????????? FLA destroyed LSU yesterday. Pushed them around like a HS team.
quote:I agree with this. However I do NOT see THIS LSU team making a run like the 2003 team did after the FLA loss
quote: Ya know what??? frick YOU PUNK. ANYTIME BITCH... ANYTIME. YOU just CAN'T HANDLE being wrong. Your whole arguement about the 2102 D being better than the 2003 D is just WRONG and a waste of your time. TRY some constructive posting from now on. You act like NOBODY else on here has watched any LSU football but you. You are a pathetic frickING LOSER.FACT.

Max Vorspan Named Executive Dean of University The Jewish Theo-logical Seminary of America has named Dr. Max Vorspan to the post of Executive Dean of the Univer-sity of Judaism. Dr. Vorspan has been as-sociated with the University since 1954. In his past capacity of Registrar he was responsible for the Adult Education Pro-gram of the University, one of the larg-est in the nation. In 1961, Dr. Vorspan and the late Max Helfman established the successful School of Fine Arts at the University and is presently Director of the School. He also serves as Executive Director of the Pacific Southwest Region of the United Syna-gogue. Dr. Vorspan's research interest is that of the history of the Jews in Los Angeles, a subject of which he is an acknowledged authority. He received his Doctorate of Hebrew Letters in 1961 with a disserta-tion now being expanded for publication this year. American Premiere Opens New University Theater Israeli novelist Hanoch Bartov's drama-tization of his book "Each Had Six Wings" was given an American premiere at the opening of the new University Theater, January 21st. The play, directed by Benjamin Zemach, chairman of the University's Theatre Arts Department, was presented in the English adaptation by poet Alfred Hayes. Under the aegis of Dr. Max Vorspan, Director of the University's School of Fine Arts, and with the energetic guid-ance of producer Irving Niedorf, the premiere of "Six Wings" was the high-light of a gala evening celebrating a re-modeled and enlarged theater-auditorium now serviced by increased stage and elec-trical facilities. Utilizing the semi-arena style of the Habima Theater, the new University The-ater offers audiences excellent vision and hearing from all seats. FOUNDERS DAY DINNER March 15, 1964 International Hotel Fifteen Hundred Women To Salute University President Dr. David Lieber, president of the Uni-versity of Judaism, will be honored at the 17th annual Tor-ah Fund luncheon of the Pacific Southwest Branch of the Nation-al Women's League of the United Syna-gogue of America, February 6th, at the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The luncheon for 1500 women will culminate the year's intensive combined campaign for the Torah Fund and the Mathilde Schechter Residence Hall Build-ing Fund. Dr. Lieber, named president of the University this past September, will speak. In announcing the event, Mrs. David Kuris, Branch Vice President and Chair-man of the combined campaigns, expressed her gratitude to members of the 54 Syna-gogue Sisterhoods represented for their splendid cooperation in attaining the group's goal. Other highlights of the afternoon will include enterta-nment by Lome Green, star of NBC's "Bonanza" series, Gene Allen, and Miss Marilyn Cole Gilbert. As part of the day's program, Mrs. Jacob Pressman will receive the National Benefactors Award of the National Wom-en's League for outstanding community service. This will mark the first time the award has been given to a west coast resident. The Torah Fund helps to maintain the many facets of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and the University of Judaism, its West Coast Branch, in training teachers, Rabbis, Cantors and Jewish leaders. The Mathilde Schechter Resident Hall is urgently needed to pro-vide proper living facilities for girls who wish to become Hebrew and religious school teachers. Mrs. Jules Wail is Branch President. Program Chairman of the luncheon is Mrs. Joseph Wagner. Mrs. Jacob Press-man is National Vice Chairman of the campaigns. PAGE 2 FEBRUARY, 1964 FEBRUARY, 1964 PAGE 3 Financing Our University BY JULIUS FLIGELMAN Private Universi-ties are financed from a variety of sources. Substantial contribu-tions come from fed-eral grants in the f o rm of research ^ grants and scholar- ^k ^•Wfc^. ship aid. Tuition fees ^k vfl which have r i s e n It 1 I sharply in recent years provide another major source of funds. Foundations and corporations contribute progressively in-creasing sums upon which a University can depend. Bequests from wills and es-tatees add considerably to a University's assets. All of the foregoing are added to a basic cushion of annual income and revenue from an endowment and invest-ment portfolio which may amount to mil-lions of dollars. And if all of this is not enough there are always the loyal alumni to be ap-proached for help. Stanford Alumni, as an example, recently pledged seventy-five million dollars to add to the twenty-five million dollars granted by the Ford Foun-dation. In the face of all of this how does the University of Judaism fare? No govern-ment aid, a very modest tuition income, no grants from corporations, no wealthy alumni loyal to the alma mater, and no endowment income. We have only you, the readers of this bulletin. Every year we have to start over and come to you for a contribution to help pay the budget for the year. This adds up to a hand to mouth exist-ence. It puts us at the mercy of each new year, with no security, no reserves, no backlog upon which we can depend. We cannot plan ahead; we cannot make com-mittments. The time has come when we must do something to put our financial house in order. In the coming issue of the-btflletin I will present some of my suggestions for the long time solution to the problem of orderly financing of the University of Judaism. Rabbinic Cabinet Formed University President David Lieber has announced that discussions have begun on the organization of a rabbinic group which will act as an advisory channel to the University's manifold departments. The functions of this body will be to meet monthly to discuss issues of policy and to serve as a sounding board for new ideas. Each member will accept a port-folio and become an operating member of a specific University committee. Mem-bers will travel and lecture on behalf of the University. ETHICS Commences Third Broadcast Season ETHICS, a television production of the University's Earl Warren Institute of Ethics and Human Relations, and De-partment of Radio and Television, has commenced its third broadcasting season of regular weekly half-hour discussions with a program titled "The Liveliest Art" viewed locally on KNBC-TV, Sunday, February 2, 1964, at 1 p.m. This 27th of the ETHICS series considered the ques-tion of motion picture censorship. Participating in the season's first broad-cast were panelists John E. Fitzgerald, award winning drama critic; Martin Ritt, director of the film "Hud," and presently shooting "The Outrage;" producer-direc-tor Otto Preminger; and Geoffrey Shur-lock, Director of the Motion Picture Code Administration of the Motion Picture As-sociation of America. Film producer Hugh Benson hosted. The series second program under the format of ". . . And Justice for All" panelists will discuss the question "Is the Negro entitled to preferential treatment?" Guests on the program to be broadcast February 9th are James Tolbert, Presi-dent of the Beverly Hills - Hollywood NAACP; Dallas B. Lewis, President of the Lewis (Dr. Ross) Foods Company; Eddy S. Feldman, author of California Assembly Bill -601 dealing with on-the-job industrial apprenticeship training pro-grams; and Wesley Brazier, Executive Director of the National Urban League. ETHICS, a television program spon-sored by the Earl Warren Institute of the University, was established in response to a major address given by the Chief Justice at the awards dinner of the Uni-versity of Judaism, July 4, 1961, in which he called for the development of a profession of an ethical counselor, stat-ing that in civilized life "law floats in a sea of ethics." The Institute furthers community aware-ness of moral problems in which appre-ciation of ethical principles is a basic facet of resolution and, frequently, action. The implementation of this work has been accomplished through the activities of the University of Judaism's Radio and Television Department under the guid-ance of Saul Rubin, Director of Develop-ment acting as executive producer and producer Louis Rudolph. Since its inception ETHICS has brought panelists from the top area of education, business and the professions to discus-sions of ethics in religion, journalism, labor, science, politics, and the arts. Indicative of the community interest with which ETHICS has been met is the donation of facilities, time and talent to its programs. The program's third season promises to be a stimulating and con-structive experience for its viewers. THEODORE STRIML1NG 1881 - 1963 Theodore Strimling, a founder of the University of Judaism and life vice chairman of its Board of Over-seers, died Monday, December 9th, at the age of 82. Mr. Strimling, survived by his wife, two children, six grandchild-ren and one great grandchild, de-voted more than a half century of monumental service to Jewish life. ISRAEL CHODOS 1905 - 1963 Rabbi Israel Chodos, spiritual leader of Los Angeles Sinai Temple, and one of America's distinguished rabbis, died Friday, December 27th, at the age of 58. Rabbi Chodos, survived by his wife, four sons, a sister, and four grandchildren, was ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Editorial — The Goals of the University's Graduate School by DR. JACOB KOHN Camp Ramah Prepares For '64 Season Rabbi Zvi Dershowitz has been named to the post of Administrative Director of Camp Ramah. He comes to this work with ten years experience as Director of the Herzl Camp in Minnesota and Assistant Director of the Brandeis Youth Founda-tion at St. Paul. The thirty-seven acre camp, situated in the beautiful resort community of Ojai, California, is under the educational super-vision of the University of Judaism in Los Angeles in cooperation with the Pacific Southwest Region of the United Synagogue. The overall objective of the Camp Ramah program is to help Jewish young-sters relate the Judaic tradition to their own lives in the American community. To this end, Camp Ramah combines the advantages of outdoor activities with a challenging, creative program leading to f an appreciation of the Hebrew language and the Judaic religious heritage. The spirited atmosphere of the Camps sixth season of inspiring Winter En-campments was shared by more than one hundred boys and girls, ages eight through fifteen, during the last week in 1963. Planning for the 1964 summer pro-gram has already begun under the direc-tion of Dr. Walter Ackerman. The Graduate School of the University of Judaism, like every such school in the academic world, aims to be a capstone of our educa-tional system. It offers opportunities to stu-dents who are already graduates of the vari-ous departments of aca-demic endeavor—rabbis, teachers and graduate students—to continue to further both in the general field of Jewish studies and in the par-ticular areas in which their interest lies. Degrees such as the Graduate School offer (the master's and doctoral degrees in educa-tion, theology, letters and philosophy) are not pursued for their own sake, but as symbols of intellectual exploration beyond the generally acknowledged graduate level. The Graduate School is especially important, it seems to me, to those who are already en-gaged in professional work. It should appeal to teachers in our schools, to rabbis in the min-istry, to men and women in the creative arts as well as to those who have the leisure and the desire and the capabilities of exploring in depth the values of Jewish experience, of Jew-ish thought, and of Jewish creativity. The variety of courses offered in the Gradu-ate School—in Bible and in Education; in Heb-rew: in Greek and Arabic, especially as these bear upon the development of Judaism; the courses in Rabbinics and Jewish Theology and Philosophy — make the University's Graduate School a unique contribution not only to the intellectual life of the community but to Jew-ish culture on the West Coast. In the Gradu-ate School, students are encouraged to become not merely assiduous scholars but creative minds. The purpose of the dissertation, which is required for all advanced degrees, is to train men and women in original research in some subject the value of which intrigues them as individuals. Through graduate seminars, the student receives the benefit of the knowledge and wisdom of faculty members and fellow-students and encourages deeper and more sys-tematic investigation of the subject. It is especially difficult for men and women already engaged in professional labors—rabbis, teachers, social workers, or artists—to find the time to pursue academic work. Until recently, it was particularly difficult for those living far from the Jewish centers of learning. With the growth of the Jewish population in the West and the deepening of its cultural needs it is now possible for workers in the various de-partments of Judaism, even though the task may be a long drawn out and arduous one, to take advantage of the intellectual opportunities now offered at the University. The Graduate School in particular has at-tracted to the University not only Jews, but men and women teaching in non-Jewish schools of higher learning and many Christians who are interested in knowing the cultural connec-tion between Judaism, and the origins, found-ers and leaders of their own faith. Besides the basic Hebrew studies, such students often pur-sue courses in Hellenistic studies and Jewish mysticism as they light on the larger areas of the Judaeo-Christian tradition. We hope in the course of time to increase the number of our students and the number and status of our Faculty and, above all, to lure more and more active minds into the pur-suit of that higher learning which Jews always nurtured with love and veneration. Graduate School Expands Curriculum Illustrating the broad range of gradu-ate courses being offered at the University with the open:ng session of the spring semester on Wednesday, February 5th, are three new classes announced by Chair-man of Faculties Dr. Samuel Dinin. Mrs. Miriam Alperin will give a class in "Arts and Crafts for the Classroom Teacher." "A History of Jewish Educa-tion" will be taught by Professor Morris Leibman. Dr. Dinin will give a "Seminar in the Curriculum of the Jewish School." Dr. David Winston will continue his courses in "Elementary Greek," and "Halacha as Reflected in Hellenistic Lit-erature." Dr. David Aronson will lecture on "Basic Principles of Jewish Ethics," and "Authority of Judaism." Professors David Lieber, Irwin Soref, Wolf Leslau, Arnold Band, Moshe Perl-mann, David Gross, and Jacob Kohn will teach classes this semester. Subjects in-clude "A History of Biblical Religion," "History and Foundation of Hebrew Grammar," "Contemporary Jewish His-tory," and "Primacy of Moral Law in Jewish Dogma and Ritual." Spring Classes for Young People The University Institute of Jewish Studies' Department of Post Confirmands will continue during the Spring to offer courses to young people between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, encouraging them to continue their Jewish education so that they may be prepared to take their place as the future leaders of the Jewish com-munity. Students not now attending are invited to jo;n the Department's classes. Now available are Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced Hebrew; "The Bible World for Beginners" with Dr. Frank Rosenthal; "Contemporary Jewish Prob-lems for Advanced Students" and "Jew-ish Communal Life in America," with Mr. Zvi Edelson. Hebrew instructors are Mrs. R. Robinson, Mrs. P. Chazanov and Mr. A. Bloom. The Spring Semester will begin Tues-day, February llth, at 6:30 p.m. Regis-trar is Mrs. Ayola Reiss. Noted Artist Joins Faculty Ted Gilien, nationally famous for "Maccabee" paintings, will teach an ad-vanced oil painting course on Tuesday mornings. University Prepares For Spring Semester Registration for the Spring Semester of the College of Judaica, the Hebrew Teachers' College, and the School of Fine Arts will begin February 2nd. The new school session commences with a wide variety of interesting courses for the beginning student as well as for the advanced scholar. Subjects include Education, History, Rabbinic Literature, Hebrew, The Bible, Greek, Jewish His-tory, Religion, and Rabbinics. Under the direction of Dr. Max Vor-span, students enrolling in courses offered by the University's School of Fine Arts will be afforded an opportunity to study Art, Drama, Music, Speech, Dance, and the Humanities under an outstanding and stimulating faculty. The School's lectur-ing and teaching staff boasts such authori-tative educators as Drs. Roy Harris, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Hal Bargelt, Dani Dassa and Benjamin Zemach. To service those who wish to better understand their cultural heritage, the University Institute of Jewish Studies has enlarged its branch classes. In meeting the growth of population and area of the Los Angeles community, classes are being conducted at Alhambra Synagogue Center, Rodef Sholom Temple, Valley Beth Shalom, Valley Jewish Com-munity Center, and Whittier Jewish Com-munity Center (Beth Shalom). Examples of Spring Semester classes are those to be given at The Valley Jew-ish Community Center, North Hollywood. Among the Center's courses are Begin-ners, Intermediate, and Modern Conver-sational Hebrew; Rabbi Aaron Wise's "A Survey of the Bible;" and "The Social and Religious Problems of American Jew-ish Youth" taught by Rabbi Zvi Dersho-witz, Director of Camp Ramah. Danni Dassa will give classes in Folk and Israeli dances. Rabbi A. Yisroel Klein will teach "Contemporary Ethical and Moral Prob-lems" at the Valley Beth Shalom, Encino, California. In addition to formal classes, the Uni-versity is conducting Home Study groups for the Beverly Hills Chapter of Hadas-sah, Bay Cities Jewish Community Cen-ter, and B'nai B'rith. Further classes are being sponsored in cooperation with the University by Labor Zionist Workmens' Circle, Beverly Hills and Los Angeles Hadassah. The Institute is conducting Faculty Forums, both at the central branch in the University building and area branches. Among those faculty members participat-ing are Drs. David Aronson, Samuel Dinin, Stephen Kayser, Jacob Kohn, Na-than Hurvitz, Moshe Perlmann, Rabbi (Continued on page 4)

I've been picking up hints, tips and information from a variety of sources over the years, but somehow have always been a taker and not a giver. I'm finally getting involved and trying to give something back to the community. Still learning far more than contributing though.
I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades in a small UK-based team within a US subsidiary of a Japanese company, doing work for a large UK telecoms provider. Production support, developer, part-time (a.k.a accidental) DBA in dev/test, analyst, consultant... whatever needs doing right now, generally. Mostly Oracle (since about 1995, versions 6 to 11g), Java, WebLogic, shell scripting, HTML, CSS, a bit of C when pushed, but whatever's needed today. Work is mostly on Oracle Linux, but dragged into Windows and networking issues fairly often, and a Mac user at home.

North Kiteboarding wins men and womans kite race world championship!
The Formula Kite Race World Championships took place on the Black Sea in Istanbul. Attracting the fastest men and women riders on the planet from over 20 countries, it was an impressive 5 day show of outstanding performance. Amongst our riders the new 2015 North Race Ltd 69 was the optimum weapon of choice, proving itself through its results, finishing consistently within the top 3 ranking.
The first two days of qualifiers saw the arrival of stronger winds, and riders rigging 11 – 15m Kites for a series of races which determined a Gold and Silver Fleet split for the days to follow. The Men's Race discipline was dominated by NKB Team Riders Olly Bridge and Maxim Moocher, with Blasco Ozog showing great form following Appendix surgery a few weeks prior to the event. In the Women's discipline, Steph Bridge showed a return to full power and performance, demonstrating from the get go that she was in it to win it!
As Racing got underway there were signs of history in the making, with a double victory for both mother (Steph) and son (Olly) looking promising. However, a bad decision on Kite choice cost Olly his World Title on Day 4. The Regatta was now in the hands of Maxime Nocher who progressed into Medal Race day with 14 points, a clear lead ahead of the other top three riders. All of the four Medal Races were won by Olly Bridge bringing him closer to the top three, but it wasn't enough to make up for the damage done the previous day.
It's clear to see that the fastest Team in the world right now is North Kiteboarding and they're unstoppable. Be sure to follow them next week when they head to the Kite Race European Championships in Poland.
Maxime Nocher 1st
Olly Bridge 3rd
Blasco Ozog 4th
Steph Bridge 1st
Silver Fleet
Theo 9th silver fleet
Axel 6th silver fleet
Over 160 riders from more than 40 countries gathered to battle for the men's and women's titles in five days of competition at the International Kiteboard Association course racing world championships being staged in China for the first time. The North International Team travelled from all parts of the world for this, the final showdown of the year & battle for the title, joined also by team manager - Dirk Hanel.
From day 1 the conditions were perfect as winds of more than 20 knots blew steadily over Boao's King Bay, Hainan. The fleets were split and a total of 4 races per day were sailed in each fleet. This qualifying series took 2 days and determines a Gold/Silver/bronze fleet. The womans fleet was one opening series until the final day when they also have the medal race format. Consistency and keeping out of trouble was the key to success with only 1 discard in the whole regatta. Conditions were similar for these 2 days with all North Kiteboarding riders choosing their 9mtr or 11mtr 2013 Dyno kites and a rolling swell at the windward mark which was placed on the reef to liven things up a bit! These 2 days was about keeping things clean and for young Olly Bridge - mens European Champion at age 16, this allowed many older riders to have their say in the protest room. Maxime Nocher (FRA) took a big fin cut on his heel which meant a trip to hospital for stitches, however this only later enhanced his performance!!
Day 3 & 4 of gold fleet racing was a mix of stronger & lighter winds which saw some upsets up and down the rankings. A close battle between Johnny Heineken and Florian Gruber (GER) saw Johnny defeated when the wind dropped giving Florian a lead going into the medal races. The biggest stir was from 16 year old Olly Bridge (GBR) who came into the gold fleet racing in 11th position but scored some top 5 results on day 3 & 4 to climb up to 3rd going into the medal race day. Also stepping up his game, Maxime scored bullets in the final 2 gold fleet races, taking his ranking up to 4th. Olly, Maxime & Blazej were just a couple of points behind the Reigning World Champion, Johnny Heineken and although would take a miracle to get to 1st, all knew that with the lighter winds predicted for the medal races, they would have a good advantage over Johnny.
A great spirit amongst the team with 3 out of the top 5 riders all competing for North Kiteboarding and riding the NKB 69 Race Ltd and the North Dyno 2013 kites. Riding for Denmark, James Johnson showed some real moments of glory having qualified for Gold fleet and ended 30th overall.
The womans fleet saw tighter racing with many switched positions between the young Russian- Eleanor Kalinina, Steph Bridge (GBR) and Erika Heineken (USA). The lighter winds suiting Steph & Eleanor, however this was not enough to defeat the lead that Erika had built over the first 2 days of the championship. North Kiteboarding womans rider from France, Ariane Imbert took a big step up in performance scoring all top 10 results and placing her in 9th position going into the final day.
The final day of the event in Boao, Hainan being organised and locally managed by Kite tour Asia (KTA) and the resort development of King Bay, saw winds up to 8 knots and many switches in direction. This proved difficult to set a course and allow fair racing to take place for the final medal race series. With a cut off time of 4pm, many riders thought the chance to go on the water was very slim, however by 2.30pm enough wind had filled in to start the 1st Mens Medal Race. Taking their 17mtr North Kiteboarding Dyno kites, long lines, biggest fins it was a battle to keep the kites in the air, however it was Maxime Nocher (FRA) who showed the field that this was his day & won the only medal race this day. This was enough to secure his lead over Olly Bridge (GBR) who got knocked down to 4th place in the overall rankings. The medal race for the womans fleet went into sequence however soon got abandoned when the wind dropped below 5 knots.
The closing ceremony was held in King Bay with fireworks, live music and in true chinease fashion, the ceremony was top quality with every detail impeccable. A superb week for North Kiteboarding with such a strong positive presence in the top 5 and all 3 of the mens top 5 team under 21years old.
Many of the NKB riders now travel to Sail Melbourne followed by the Oceanics in Perth. Both are big events with great organisation, prize money and points for the isaf world ranking. Well done and good luck to all the North Kiteboarding team members!!

Kite Race World Championships 2012 - Cagliari
In the history of Kiteboarding all that took part in the champagne racing conditions in Cagliari bay last week will always remember this event as the start of something really really big in our sport. Over 220 riders from 40 countries met in a showdown of colour, excitement & crashes for this was the start of a new road for many competitiors now that kiteboarding has replaced windsurfing for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
In the mens fleet, racing started with a qualifying series, with three groups of 51 sailors each which were re-seeded by the first racing days results before the fleet got split into Gold/Silver/Bronze for the final series day. In the womens fleet, a single opening series was run over the first three days, followed by a medal race series on Sunday.
North riders were joined by kite designer Ken Winner & production manager Dirk Hanel - most using the new North Dyno Ltd & battling it out in the first 2 days to gain selection for the much sought after Gold fleet. It was close racing amongst Maxim Nocher (FRA), Olivier Dansin (FRA), Florian Gruber (GER), Blajez Ozog (POL) with Oliver Bridge (GB) not far away.
The womans fleet saw 2012 European Champion - Steph Bridge come head to head daily with Johnny's sister- Erika Heineken. Brazilian rider -Nayara Licariao & Alice Brunacci (ITA) took top 10 results during this qualifying series.
After day 3 the top 10 riders from the girls fleet & top 10 riders from the mens went head to head in a medal race to determine the 2012 World Champion. All could be lost or gained in an 8 minute umpired fleet race which was carried out in gusty offshore conditions. The beach scene was huge & North kiteboarding provided the much needed support for the competitors that made it to the final.
It was the womens turn first, with the whole fleet starting on starboard towards the first leg, and the battle was on between Steph Bridge and Erika Heineken. Being only one point separated, it was open for virtually every sailor who qualified for the medal race series to win the event. In the end it was Steph Bridge taking the win in this race, meaning that both Erika and Steph were tied in points now and whoever won the last race would take the tittle. Coming in in third, it was Nayara Licariao (BRA, North). Race 2 of this medal race day was more of a challenge to fight back after a windshift on the start line & steph's chance of her 5th World tittle was looking in doubt. Pushing the board hard & using the bands of wind to her advantage was not enough, a 1 point defeat & steph took home the Silver medal while 4th place went to Nayara Licariao (BRA and 8th to Alice Brunacci (ITA).
The men's medal race involved huge place changes, crashes & penalty turns & the eventual results were Maxime Nocher (FRA) in 5th place, Florian Grubber (GER) in 7th place while Olivier Dansin (FRA) was in 8th position. Disappointment for Blazej Ozog (POL) who was black flagged on the final gold medal race & this pushed him out of the medal race day to finish in 14th overall.
Other huge success's for the North team were for Ken Winner who was 3rd overall in the Grandmasters and Oliver Bridge (GB) who at age 15 became Youth World Champion with Jannis Maus (GER) in 2nd & Oswald Smith (RSA) 3rd. Race Team Manager - Dirk Hanel had some bad luck in the qualifying series however what was apparent at this event was the level to which kite racing is now going to be with most athletes taking this full time in their run up to Rio 2016.

Rainier has offered consumers a wide range of swaged lead core copper plated bullets of varying calibers for years. These high-quality bullets are an outstanding choice. There is no question that these bullets offer unrivaled accuracy. They are swaged twice using lead wire to ensure tight uniformity that also prevents barrels from wearing prematurely.
When loading bullets and for a slight taper crimp, Rainer suggests using lead bullet load data. In addition, the company recommends a maximum velocity of 1,500 feet per second. Made with a lead core covered with copper plating, these bullets are ideal for most indoor shooting ranges.

"He's kind of like a bear at a campsite...you think he's cute and kind of want to hug him, but in the end you know he's dangerous and is going to stomp on your tent and eat all your food..." - martysnarf
For this to be worth doing, it has to be something you can't get from a production guitar (not forgetting about the Artist package).
There are a gazillion variations of the McCarty and the CU22/24 so I'd avoid those altogether.
The thing that would appeal to me would be some sort of unique configuration of a Ted McCarty. I'd say choice of pickups, add Signature switching, and two or three stains to choose from (preferably from the private stock list). I'd be open to SC or DC.
Hans, what you should do is brainstorm with a handful of people of your choosing and put out a proposal - people are either in or out.
You're never too old for tater tots.
No ... But I would take a set of BRW coasters with paua bird inlays or PS eagle ...

What about some CE's with 408s.... a totally unique model that you can't get.....
No. I have it. What about something like that limited run of 40 burl topped guitars. Why not make the forum guitar have a unique wood top and have the back hand signed 2013 PRS Forum Guitar.

Has anyone bothered to ask Mr PRS if he wants to make a forum guitar ??????????????????
Pizza = piezo guys, thought that was a common nickname!
Should it be a "forum guitar with only color and tailpiece" options, or should there be a "forum collection" with several pieces of various configurations linked together with a common "forum" theme, such as headstock veneer and inlay?

New in-game Winter Olympics reward discovered?
Wowhead, the official armory, and other sites are listing now a Competitor's Souvenir that was added in patch 3.3. The Souvenir has an item ID number of 37298, whereas the the Gold Medallion from the Summer Olympics has an ID number of 37297. For the mathematically challenged, this new item is numerically next in line from the previous in-game Olympic tie-in. This lends credence that this Souvenir could very well give people a non-combat companion reward during this year's Winter Olympics.
We don't have much of an idea of what pet the Competitor's Souvenir could give us. It's likely that the pet will be activated on the servers when the Souvenir becomes available during the Winter Olympics on February 12th, 2010. Of course, that's assuming the Souvenir really is for the Winter Olympics. It's entirely possible the Souvenir is for something else, but the evidence we've found points strongly enough in the direction that it's related to the upcoming games.
*A couple people have pointed out that the Competitor's Souvenir was an item on the Chinese servers back in '06, however it still has just shown up on the US servers, just at the right time...

5 SDHC NOT SDharrystamp | 10/04/2009 | See all harrystamp's reviews (2)This works great and is at a very good price. The reason people in other reviews are saying it dosent work is because they must be trying to use it with SD devices, not SDHC compatible devices. This would be like putting a blu-ray in a dvd player and wondering why it doesnt work. If thinking about buying check you equipment is SDHC compatible.
5 Amazing value cards with the trusted SanDisk nameLubricatedgoat | 16/06/2008 | See all Lubricatedgoat's reviews (7)These are the cheapest cards SanDisk do, but don't let that put you off, they work faultlessly. I've used their 512Mb and 1Gb versions for thousands of pictures, and they are a steal. Nikon even say in their D40 instructions that you're welcome to use SanDisk cards without affecting their warranty! Unless you need super fast write speeds, get these.
5 Surprisingly good and amazing valuegrandslam08 | 13/06/2008 | See all grandslam08's reviews (1)Wasn't sure what to expect from the card as I'd only just been given a Cannon IXUS70 and it had a stingy 32mb card and it only held 17 photo's. This card allows me to hold well over 2000 at the highest resolution so huge amounts of fun to be had on holidays without worrying about having to save them elsewhere or buying another card. Photo quality I guess depends on many things, but for my point and shoot requirements, it's great value for money. Well done to Play.
5 good value for moneyhalilgurhanli | 10/06/2009 | See all halilgurhanli's reviews (4)Bought this card for my nikon d40 slr camera, works perfectly and transfers to computer quite quickly. As previous reviewers said, do not forget to check if your device is compatible with sdhc.
5 Foolish reviews - read the description.ke2000 | 12/05/2009 | See all ke2000's reviews (16)Read the manual before you buy this product! This memory card will work with SDHC-COMPATIBLE devices ONLY. Don't rate something one-star for your mistake! This works perfectly fine in my SDHC-compatible mp3 player, and will work fine assuming you have a compatible device.

The Cotton States and International Exposition was an event that took place during the fall of 1895 in Piedmont Park just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. The Exposition was meant to foster trade between southern states and South American nations and to exhibit the resources of the region to the world. In 1904, the city of Atlanta purchased Piedmont Park from the Piedmont Park Exposition Company and extended the city limits north to include the park.

In the consumer IoT, everything is new, and the IT world of bits and bytes holds sway. But industrial and commercial realms encompass operational technology (OT) that has been around for 25 or 50 years. This grittier, pre-IP, more hands-on world has much to gain from Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications and principles. But adding sensors and wireless connectivity won't work in environments that demand unwavering reliability and performance.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Flomerics Releases Survey Highlighting Engineers' Views on Integrating CFD and Mechanical Design
November 2006
Flomerics has released the results of a new online survey highlighting engineers' views on integration between mechanical computer aided design (MCAD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. When asked how important MCAD integration is for typical CFD users, 46% say it is "very important today" and an overwhelming 68% say it will be "very important in the future". When the results are confined only to users of mechanical CAD software, these percentages increase to 52% and 74% respectively. When asked what "CFD integrated with MCAD" means, most people chose the option describing the tightest level of integration: "A fully-embedded solution in a single environment. The CFD user interface looks and operates like the MCAD software and the CFD solver interacts directly with the "native" MCAD solid model data."
"Most commercial CFD codes today are unable to solve directly using the native MCAD geometry," said Ivo Weinhold, EFD Product Manager for Flomerics. "Even vendors claiming "Upfront CFD" capability actually require a translation from the native MCAD data into some neutral format such as Parasolid before the CFD analysis is performed. The problem with this approach - apart from being slower - is that once transferred into the CFD environment all the design intelligence associated with the geometry such as assembly hierarchy, constraints and features are lost and only dumb geometrical entities remain. This survey confirms that what engineers want is a familiar and consistent user interface for both the MCAD and CFD software, and full bi-directional associativity between the analysis data and the MCAD model. Engineers also benefit from employing native CAD data and native kernel functions for meshing, preprocessing, and results visualization. All of these requirements are satisfied by our EFD family of CFD software."
The MCAD/CFD survey is based on over 600 completed responses from engineers using both CFD and mechanical design software in a broad range of industries. The top three industries represented were aerospace and defense (32%), education (27%) and automotive (23%). 81% of respondents use CFD software and 55% use MCAD software.
The EFD family of CFD software from Flomerics includes FloEFD.Pro - a fully embedded CFD solution within the Pro/ENGINEER environment; FloEFD.V5, - a fully embedded CFD solution within the CATIA environment, and FloEFD – a general-purpose fluid analysis tool that includes a built-in solid modeler. The analysis engine at the heart of the EFD product suite is the same analysis engine used by SolidWorks in their tightly-integrated CFD software - CosmosFloWorks. All the software products in the EFD family work directly with the native CAD geometry and require no translation of data, so the solid model maintains intelligence such as assembly hierarchy, constraints, and features. Users can take advantage of the existing data to conduct "what if?" analyses directly from within their chosen design platform. EFD makes it easy to perform flow simulation because it analyzes the geometry and generates the computational grid in the background while the user only needs to interact with the familiar MCAD interface.
