Snowboarding's classic just keeps getting better.
The Burton Custom Flying V Snowboard puts a modern twist on the original Custom board. Flying V gives you the best of both rocker and camber for freedom and fun everywhere on the hill. There's a smattering of tech, like Frostbite edges, Squeezebox, and The Channel mounting system to squeeze out every last bit of performance. And with its team-tested heritage, you already know the Custom is up to whatever you throw at it.
The V Rocker profile puts rocker between your feet for deep snow float, and mates it to camber under the bindings for stomped landings and locked in carves. The edge hold gets a boost from Frostbite edges, which places bumps in the sidecut underneath your feet, to give you even more grip. It has a mild 10mm of stance setback, for directional stability, but the twin flex means that your switch stance won't stuffer a bit.
The lightweight Super Fly II core keeps the overall weight down to help with technical tricks. The weight is further reduced through Pro-Tip construction in the tip and tail, which knock the swing weight down for faster spins. The Squeezebox profile is thinner underneath the binding for unrestricted board feel and uninterrupted flex, and the Highlights High Voltage carbon stringers radiate out from the binding to give you more response without making the deck unnecessarily stiff. The Channel mounting system works in conjunction with EST bindings to give you unlimited setup options and a natural flex, instead of dead spots under the bindings. Round it out with a super-fast, wax absorbent WFO sintered base, and you'll be hauling all over the hill.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I actually rode these for two seasons straight, the one in the picture is one from a season before, but I've also rode the current years model as well.
Another favorite feature on this guy is
Definitely a fan of Burton and their products, I personally am a fan of the regular custom, but the flying v definitely performs super well in the powder. I rarely ragdolled with this while riding powder, and I'm pretty sure due to to the rocker shape of the flying v.
If you've tried out customs before, and wanted that extra help in the powder, these help so much. I don't get to ride powder often, but when I do they are smooth.
This is not a stiff board at all, but if you're looking for some super-stiff board with hybrid construction, these would work as well, it's got the Frostbite edges which will hold your grip on those fast turns. I couldn't really tell they were there, most likely cause I got used to them so fast, but if you were an ice-coaster (east coat or midwest) snowboarder, I'm more than sure you can tell the difference.
I don't really like to switch boards on and off, so taking these out when I want a mixture of powder and park, this is the perfect board for it.
On jumps they are ok, they're not great. Rotating they do just a fine job, however, when I land, it was fairly easy to wash out, and this could be due to the fact that its a v-construction so it isn't a jump-specific board. On rails they are great, helped me press easy as it wasn't a stiff deck.
Overall, I really liked this board and if I had some extra doh, I would definitely give these a go again. Very fun board!

Mikey Park

Hey Nicolas!
I'm assuming you're about 5ft and 8ish inches in height judging by the 1.74 m(?) profile that you gave me. If you're wondering about the length of the board I would recommend you stick with a 154cm deck for this board. It would be the perfect height for your groomer, and because of the hybrid design and the reverse structure of the Flying-V, you should be able to float just fine even in powder. I hope this helps!

Member since
I'm 5'10" 175 lbs size 11 boots. Debating between the 158 and 160. I've always had camber boards in the past and have had my bindings set back. I've also always had "wide" boards. Looking to get a regular width board, but am not sure if the158 is too small. I mostly ride groomers fast, unless of course there is powder.
Mikey Park
Member since
Hey Dan,
Judging by the size 11 boots, I would personally stick with a wider board. However, you technically can get away with a regular-width board as well, if you aren't somebody who is super aggresive on their turns. With that said, since you about 5'10 I would go with the 158 over the 160.
I only say this because with a smaller board, you get more control. And this is an easy board to control in my opinion. Along with the reverse design on the tip and tail, it's super easy to ride powder with this board. So all in all, you'll have more fun on groomers and the powder will be easy to ride because of the construction of it. I hope this helps with your question!
This board says directional and it also...
Member since
This board says directional and it also says twin, I'm little confused as to which one it is; is it directional twin?
This will be the first board I buy and was kind of looking for a twin, will I notice that much, even when changing directions.
Reid Pitman
Member since
So a twin is a reference to the shape, in this case the shape is the same on nose and tail. In this case the "directional" is a reference to the set back of the binding inserts. a set back stance will allow you to move your bindings back for riding powder. you can most likely still mount your bindings dead centered depending on your stance width.
With this board feel different when your going backwards? no, it will feel like you're going backwards though.
For a great Twin rockered board, thats easy to ride, check out the Lib Tech Skate banana. super fun!
Mikey Park
Member since
Hey Sean,
This board is directional, which means it's a tad bit longer on the nose to keep you afloat on those mean powder days.
The board has a "TWIN FLEX" this may be a little confusing, but what it is, is that the flex is evenly symmetrical from the tip to the tail. So whether you're popping regular or switch, or just riding switch or regular, the "FEEL" of the board will be like a twin board. I hope that made some sense!

Member since
Hello, I currently ride a burton x8 155cm was looking for something a bit softer. I'm 5'8" and 152lbs and I went to the burton site and it suggested I get a 148cm. That seems a bit short and I'm worried I'll get a lot of chatter at higher speeds. I did want to get a shorter board to jib around more but worried it's too short. Would you also recommend a 148? I would say I'm an advanced rider.
jessica mcferran
Member since
Hey Paul,
You can typically go shorter on a board that is rockered underfoot because it will still float really well and provide stability, but will be easier to progress freestyle and park at a shorter length. I would probably to down to the 150cm if you're currently comfortable on a 155cm.

Hello- My name is David. I am 5' 11" 193 lbs. My boot size is 11. I am an experienced rider that has taken a few years off Interested in the "Flying V". Currently riding the old "Canyon". I am told boards have advanced a ton and am looking for an easy riding fast all around board. I ride everything from The Poconos to Vermont to Utah. Main question I have is do I need a WIDE? 160CM OK? Any information is helpful.
Member since
You should be fine without a wide. Just make sure you get some boots with shrinkage tech. They fit like an 11 but are the size of a 10. At any rate I wear a size 11.5 and have no problems on a 25.4cm board. I wear Burton Imperial boots. You may also want to check out Rome boards, they tend to be more like mid-wides in the longer sizes and they make good stuff.

That mother tells 14 News that she caught Sandleben with his hand completely up her daughter's skirt at the west side Goodwill back in August. She also says she caught him taking pictures of another little girl inside that same Goodwill back in January.
The mother says her niece was sitting on the ground near a clothing rack, and when the little girl stood back up, the mother saw a man's hand with a camera coming from behind the clothes. She says at the time she wasn't sure what he had been doing, so they left.
But in the most recent incident, she says she has no doubt that he had taken pictures and she called 911.
Police searched Sandleben's home and seized a pocket camera and several hard drives. Detectives were able to identify a deleted video that showed underneath the clothing of that four-year-old girl.
Detectives found more than 200 videos on one of the hard drives. Officials matched those videos to an online forum and found a user that matched Sandleben's photo.
One video dates back to October 2011 called "Cutoff Inspection" and there are more than ten videos from the Mission Viejo Apartment Complex pool from May 2012 and several from the Burdette Park Pool from August.
Police say Sandleben used an underwater camera in the pool videos.
The mother of the youngest victim says she vowed to keep an eye out for him at the Fall Festival to protect other young girls, but she says he was arrested just in time.
"I went numb. All I could do was just get over there as quick as I could and get in his face and get him away from my kid. That's all I kept saying was, 'Get away from my kid right now,'" the mother said. "It just is the scariest feeling to know that somebody is out there targeting. It's not just young ladies, these are children. They're four. It's just beyond me how somebody could find that attractive or be drawn to that."
This is the second time Sandleben has been arrested and charged with voyeurism. He is still in the Vanderburgh County Jail on $10,000 cash bond and is due in court again on Monday.

With 14 seconds left in a dismal game on the road in Tallahassee, Roy Williams led his North Carolina bench off the floor before Florids State fans rushed the court to celebrate a huge win for the Seminoles. ESPN reported on air that it was Leonard Hamilton's idea.
Yeah, it was that sort of day for both North Carolina and Florida State.
The Seminoles scored their biggest-ever triumph over North Carolina in a 90-57 rout that rarely even felt like an upset. On this Saturday, the 'Noles were simply better.
Much of the difference in the game was FSU shooter Deividas Dulkys finding his groove. Dulkys exploded for 32 points in the win, sinking eight threes and making 12 of his 15 shots, and also had four assists, four steals, and a block. Just two other Florida State players reached double figures, though Okaro White did have 10 rebounds to go with his 12 points.
For the Tar Heels, no one stepped up on the road in a game to forget. Tyler Zeller had 14 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks in the loss, but buried his face in a towel on the bench near the end of the game.

Coming or going to Friday's Home Opener at Progressive Field -- don't even think about taking Chester Avenue.
It is a maze of orange barrels and it's down to one lane from the innerbelt into and out of downtown.
Yes, there will be delays on Chester and plenty of aggravation.@
And you should definitely avoid 9th Street, between Euclid and Prospect.
Construction on the new county office building and the new apartments complexes on both sides of East 9th have you down to just one lane south, and two lanes north.
This promises to be a mess since people, for some reason, flock to 9th, as if it's the only way in or out of the city.
There are ways to avoid sitting in traffic and getting steamed...
Public transportation always is a good idea -- take the bus or hop on a train.
RTA is adding cars to its red line and they are expecting heavy traffic.
Or you could cab it...
"If you know how to maneuver through the city you'll be all right," said a Cleveland cab driver.
But not everyone knows the city like a cabbie so another option is, find a shuttle. Great Lakes Brewing figures they'll shuttle, at minimum, 200 people to the ballpark.
"You can come in here before the game grab a beer take the shuttle over, the shuttle brings you right back here after the game, grab a meal do whatever you want," said Jeff West of Great Lakes Brewing.

The Falcons didn't ignore their defense in this year's draft, but the emphasis was on adding explosiveness to the offense with the selection of WR Julio Jones. Some observers were wondering if the team would have been better served by adding a defensive playmaker in the first round — the Falcons didn't view it that way, and part of the reason is they think they're going to get more out of one defensive player who already is on the roster.
SLB Sean Weatherspoon, a first-round pick in 2010, had his rookie season derailed by injuries after a strong start. After winning a starting job, he hurt his ankle in Week Three and a knee injury he suffered in Week Five nagged him the rest of the season. We hear the Falcons believe they were a better, more active defense early in the season when Weatherspoon was healthy and they expect he'll provide more of a boost in Year Two.
A source said he appeared to be in good physical condition in seven-on-seven drills during recent player-organized workouts.

Engineering and commerce students collaborate through innovative program
Twenty engineering and commerce students are developing new ideas while learning organizational leadership skills at the new Queen's Summer Innovation Institute.
"We've encountered countless Queen's students who excel at both engineering and commerce, yet find that they have to choose one program over the other when they apply to university," says Kimberly Woodhouse, Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. "This program bridges the gap while building a solid foundation for unique leaders with both technical know-how and business savvy."
The pilot program is a unique collaboration between the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and Queen's School of Business (QSB) aimed at developing innovators and entrepreneurs who can thrive in the rapidly-changing, technology-driven business world.
"It's clear that the 'old way' of doing business just doesn't cut it anymore," says Elspeth Murray, Associate Dean (MBA Programs), QSB. "Management teams need to make smart decisions based on a sound knowledge of both technology and business, and be willing and able to take their ideas that one step further than the competition. Our goal is to give students the tools they need to do just that."
The pilot program is now underway with a two-week "boot camp," an intensive session featuring workshops, seminars and talks led by business and technology experts from Queen's and beyond. The students then work in interdisciplinary teams throughout the summer on an innovative business or corporate project under the guidance of an expert mentor. Each student receives $7,000, and the teams have a chance to win up to $25,000 through the business competition at the end of the program.
"I see the institute as a great opportunity to combine the valuable skill sets of the commerce and engineering faculties with existing opportunities to start a social entrepreneurship venture," says participant Diana Menzies, a civil engineering student who worked with Engineers Without Borders last year to chair the Queen's Global Innovation Conference.
Watch for the Spring/Summer edition of The Complete Engineer for more details about the Queen's Summer Innovation Institute.

A suspect that allegedly robbed a bank was arrested within 45 minutes of the incident, the Peoria Police Department said.
John Painter, 43, allegedly robbed the Sun West Federal Credit Union near 75th Ave. and Bell Rd. around 3 p.m. on Nov. 6. While robbing the bank, a teller wrote down information about the suspect, including a description of his vehicle.
Police used the information and located the suspect's vehicle in a nearby apartment complex about 45 minutes later, quickly placing Painter under arrest.
The description given by the teller linked Painter to a second robbery, which he admitted to, along with a third robbery.

Julio César Morales
Friday, February 21, 2014 - 4:30pm
Lecture Hall
San Francisco Art Institute
800 Chestnut Street
San Francisco,
Los Halfies
Employing a range of media and visual strategies, artist, educator, and curator Julio César Morales explores issues of migration, underground economies, and labor, on personal and global scales. Morales works by whatever means necessary: In an indelible series of watercolor illustrations, he diagramed means of human trafficking in passenger vehicles, while in other projects he has employed the DJ turntable, neon signs, the historical reenactment of a famous meal, or the conventions of an artist-run gallery to explore social interaction and political perspectives. Morales has shown at the Lyon Biennale; Istanbul Biennale; Singapore Biennale; Frankfurter Kunstverein, Germany; and is participating in the forthcoming Prospect 3 Biennale in New Orleans. He is the founder/director and co-curator of Queens Nails, an artist-run project space in San Francisco, and is currently the curator of visual arts at Arizona State University Art Museum.

Cam Newton threw for a touchdown and rushed for a touchdown while his defense did the rest Sunday in a 17-6 win for the Carolina Panthers. The second-year QB continued Carolina's late season surge as the Panthers have now won three games in a row and four of their past five heading into next week's season finale at New Orleans.
Newton passed for 170 yards and had a 23-yard first quarter touchdown pass to Steve Smith that put the Panthers in front for good. Newton also threw an interception, but he had a three-yard touchdown run just before halftime that put Carolina ahead, 14-3, at the break.
From there, it was Carolina's defense that got the job done. Matt Leinart threw for 115 yards in 32 attempts with an interception while Carson Palmer threw for 31 yards on three attempts. The Raiders had virtually no help from their running game with 47 yards in 22 attempts as a team.
Fantasy studs/duds
Both teams struggled to put up yards and points, but Cam Newton managed to throw for 170 yards and a touchdown with an interception. His touchdown pass was a 23-yard first quarter score to Steve Smith. Newton also rushed for a touchdown and had 60 yards on the ground.
Sebastian Janikowski was the only fantasy star of note for Oakland with two field goals. Three different quarterbacks threw a pass for Oakland.
Did they cover?
The Panthers entered the game as 9.5 point favorites, so the 11 point victory was enough to cover the spread. Graham Gano's field goal with 2:46 left in the game made sure of that.
What's next?
Both teams are eliminated from playoff competition, but Carolina can splay spoiler next week when it travels to New Orleans. The Saints still have faint playoff hopes for a wild card. Oakland will play at San Diego in a game that only has draft implications.

Greensburg —
Friday afternoon, Martha Schopmeyer of the Monsanto Fund and Decatur County Farmer David Miers formally presented checks to the Decatur Community Foundation (DCCF) and the Decatur County Family YMCA.
Each received a check for $2,500.
Miers, as Decatur County winner of the 2013 Monsanto's America's Farmers Grow Communities contest, selected the two organizations himself.
The money, Miers said, is awarded to non-profit, AG-related organizations which contribute to, support and develop Decatur County agriculture and agricultural education.
In previous years, for instance, awards have gone to help fund FFA-related scholarships at the area's three high schools, Miers said.
Miers specified that the DCCF money be put in organization's AG Field of Interest Fund. He specified that the YMCA support the organization's Invest in Youth Campaign.

John Shea provides some financial details on Brett Anderson's new long-term deal with the A's:
Brett Anderson's $12.5 mil guarantee over 4 years has $1 mil signing bonus, $1.5 mil buyout. Max is $31 mil w/ 2 option years.
Anderson's option years are $8 mil in 2014 and $12 mil in 2015. If both exercised, it's a $31 mil package.
Anderson was previously under contract for $0.41m in 2010, his second year of team control. Sure enough, this looks like an excellent deal for Billy Beane and the A's.

The Celtics played just once over the weekend, but they lost to the Bucks in overtime in their one outing.
After going 4-6 in their last 10 games, the Boston Celtics find themselves with a 13-13 record -- and in third place in the Atlantic division.
The Boston Celtics suffered a 99-94 overtime defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. Paul Pierce's 35 points and 12 rebounds were not enough to stop Milwaukee's fourth-quarter comeback.
Chris Wilcox and Leandro Barbosa will miss Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Boston has only a single game this weekend ahead of their Christmas day showdown with the Nets
The Boston Celtics had lost three straight heading into Wednesday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but Paul Pierce nailed six threes to stop the team's fall.
Rajon Rondo and the skidding Boston Celtics (12-12) hope to snap their losing streak against Kryie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers (5-21) on Wednesday night at TD Garden in Boston, MA.
The Boston Celtics will look to end a three-game losing streak on Wednesday night when they host the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers.

BOZEMAN - This week, girls in fifth through seventh grade are participating in the third annual summer camp run by Thrive's Girls for a Change program.
The program helps girls feel more confident in themselves with the support of friends, parents and mentors. Fifth grader, Amelia Hartshron is participating in her first Inside Out camp. During the week-long camp girls participate in community service projects, outdoor activities and even pink glove boxing, all while learning about themselves and strengths.
She is really looking forward to the week ahead of her."When you're surrounded by other people that are thinking the same thing as you, it's really fun and easy to do this with them," said Hartshron.She hopes this week will help boost her confidence."I'm hoping to be more confident with myself," said Hartshron. "Sometimes I feel like I'm letting myself down. I think this camp will make me feel more confident in myself."According to the Real Girls, Real Pressure National report on self-esteem, 62% of girls feel insecure about themselves and 75% of girls with low self-esteem report in engaging in negative activities such as eating disorders, smoking and drinking.
Girls for a Change Facilitator, Heidi Makoutz said the camp is meant to help girls feel more comfortable with themselves and confident in their strengths and gifts.
"It's really hard for girls to feel that confidence and positive sense of themselves," said Makoutz. "Once they feel that and if it's strong, they are more likely to share it. If they are really self conscious and they don't feel comfortable, they start to close off a little bit."She said building confidence starts with finding out about who you are and what you like to do."It's really about educating yourself about who you are and identifying those strengths," said Makotz. "A lot of times we'll see girls, especially at pre-adolescents and adolescents not thinking about that they have skills and talents and traits that are unique to them."So far, Amelia has learned about herself."It's what's in the inside of you and you have to let it all out," said Hartshron. "You can decide how much you want to show or how little you want to show."The camp runs through Friday. To learn more about Thrives Girls for a Change program, click here.

Tuesday's video of the day is quickly going viral. We'll tell you the guy in the video is okay in the end but this could have had a much different ending.
Mark Roberts, 47, was ice climbing in North Wales when a chunk of falling ice caused him to lose his grip.
Fortunately Roberts only suffered a broken ankle. He posted his helmet cam video to YouTube.
The helmet is believed to have saved his life.

Lights, Camera, Action: Shaun White with CCTV in the Bird's Nest
If you removed the cameras, the lights, the two dozen or so production associates and all the hovering PR representatives you might have thought Eyee Hsu and Shaun White were just old friends catching up after a long absence. The reality however, is a little more formal…Eyee Hsu is the host of the weekly Chinese Central Television (CCTV) show "Crossover." She and the CCTV crew came out to Beijing's Olympic Stadium to film their first ever segment outside of the CCTV studio.
While the crew buzzed around them finalizing the impromptu set – which showcased the massive Air + Style jump behind them, the pair chatted easily, swapping stories about living in California and joking about Shaun having brought the snow with him (the day broke with a dusting of snow that is not typical for Beijing). Even when the cameras began to roll Shaun maintained that same cool, calm demeanor proving that he is as much of a pro in font of the camera as he is on a board.
During the interview they talked about everything from his introduction to the sport – compliments of his brother Jesse – to his many accomplishments on and off of a board and of course the Oakley and Shaun White Air + Style competition taking place tomorrow.
Through it all Shaun is humble and engaging even when Eyee says "no one can compare," to which Shaun explained that the beauty of the sport is that is it ever changing. He acknowledges the class of his peers and credits them with motivating him to continue to push the boundaries of possibility.
With the thousands of empty seats surrounding them and the burgeoning stage of the Oakley and Shaun White Air + Style behind them you can almost hear a crowd roaring in anticipation of the spectacle that tomorrow promises to deliver. Then you remember that you are in THE Bird's Nest – a place where some of the world's most talented athletes once competed for their country and the roar grows louder.
The legacy of those Olympic athletes remain and tomorrow, 24 of the world's top snowboarding talent will leave their mark on this hallowed athletic ground.
You too can catch the action LIVE December 3 at 7:30 p.m. DST on www.facebook.com/oakley.

Sailed on the 13th of February to the 20th.
Ports of call:
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Nassua, The Bahamas
St. Thomas VI
St. Marteen
Emarkation day:
Was a quick process. We got to the port earlier than expected. We came from one of the Hotels in Orlando. So there was a lot of sitting. Nothing to do. Lines were quick, however. We got on the ship about 2 hours before Sailing off. It was a cold day. I forgot my sweatshirt (oh well) :). Food was great! Then we hard the safety drill...It was actually not an inconvience, because we didn't have to go where the life boats are. All we had to do was to report to the Mustard Station. Then Dinner!!!FOOD FOOD,AND MORE FOOD.
Port Day: Nassua
Breakfast-was great
Weather was great My brothers and I decided to go in to town. Hung out there. Then we went to Atlantis. That. was. awesome. I suggest that you go and check it out.Then we went back to the ship. Swam in the pool, Waterslide (Thrill Seekers check it out) Skipped lunch went straight to ICE CREAM! Well I had Pizza and Fries (but that doesn't matter). Comedy shows!!! GO TO THEM, IF YOU'RE OD ENOUGH GO TO THE "R" Rated!!!You will laugh your socks off.
Gym was awesome, Staff was nice, especially our Cruise Director (John Heald) funny! Bartenders we're amazed on how well our party didn't get us kicked off...HAHA
Debarking was easy, customs was a breeze. Then the long, sad trip back to Orlando Airport.
It's a big ship if you can't walk, climb, I suggest that you don't book to go on the baby.
Do it! Book it, and Love it.
That's why they call it "The Funship"

The Score 44 is getting harder and harder to tweak each week as players keep rising up to warrant inclusion to the increasingly-popular list of the best seniors in the state.
Class 5A featured a bit of a shakeup following the Winnersville Classic as Lowndes dropped out of the poll and Valdosta entered at No. 10.
The action last week in the Metro area was hot and this week two top-ten match-ups ups the ante. No. 2 McEachern will welcome in No. 6 Hillgrove (GPB-TV, 8 PM) for a "Battle of Powder Springs" that will also feature a boatloa...
It's not a surprise for me to inform you that tomorrow's high school football match-up between the Hillgrove Hawks and the McEachern Indians will be a game of high anticipation and intensity. This rivalry could be like LSU...
Class 5A was featured just one change as Norcross entered the rankings at No. 10. North Gwinnett was idle but will face undefeated the Blue Devils on the road this Friday night in the GPB.org game of the week
We are more-or-less halfway through the high school football season and several players that were on the initial Score 44 but fell off have worked their way back onto the list. Jason Croom who was a bit disappointing early on has really turned it on after declaring his intent to sign with Tennessee.

Angelo Dundee, R.I.P.
In 1957, Carmen Basilio won the middleweight championship of the world with a split decision over Sugar Ray Robinson, who is still considered by many experts to be the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time. Angelo Dundee was Basilio's trainer for that fight. I was only 9 at the time, but I remember listening to a live radio broadcast of that fight with my dad. In 1964, challenger Cassius Clay outboxed heavyweight champion Sonny Liston, who quit after six rounds.… Read More »

A 14-year-old northeast Portland boy combined his love for Halloween with his love for politics and got his neighbors involved in the fun.
Matthew Gilbert made a ballot box costume and asked those handing out candy to choose a slot for President Barack Obama or Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
"There's a 5 percent margin of error for candy eaten along the way," said Gilbert jokingly. "I did this four years ago as well and I thought it would be cool to do it again."
Last time, he was only 10 and the winner of his contest won the presidential race.
When all the counting was done this year, Obama had 90 votes, Romney had three votes and there were 21 votes in the undecided category.

|NZ School unknown
Photos like the one displayed here are rarely annotated with the names, but it does happen occasionally. These photos are sometimes found in school history books or local museums.
National Archives is the repository for school rolls. I looked at the Auckland Provincial School Inspector reports. The Schools have been listed in blue folders on the shelves in the reading room and I ordered YCAF 4135/25a, 1879-1900, (there are other years).
The register which arrived on the desk had the school reports bound (reasonable to delicate condition), with the schools listed alphabetically. Here is an example from Karangahake School which in December 1890 had 43 pupils.
The heads of schools often kept the rolls at home and some may still be found today amongst personal effects after deaths but ownership of them belongs to the Education Dept. So if you know of any, please contact Archives New Zealand.
The New Zealand Society of Genealogists indexing volunteers have been busy over the years compiling these rolls.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen: Friendship on the mend?
The publication of Paul Allen's book last year reportedly caused a "rift" with his Microsoft co-founder, Bill Gates, over Allen's unvarnished and at times very unflattering portrayal of Gates.

No joke: Justin Bieber, Paul Allen's Vulcan sued over loudness at Portland concert
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has been tied up in all sorts of lawsuits during his technology career. That just goes with the territory when you become a multi-billionaire in the software industry.

The veteran venture capitalist didn't hesitate, suggesting that outsiders (and even Seattleites to some degree) don't fully appreciate what's being built around them. "The Pacific Northwest culture of humility… Read More

Stocks are ending mostly lower after several companies turned in disappointing earnings news, including Best Buy, Citigroup and the railroad operator CSX. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 65 points, or 0.4 percent, to 16,417. The S&P 500 index fell two points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,845. The Nasdaq composite edged up almost four points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,218.
- The price of oil is lower today. Benchmark crude oil for February delivery slipped 21 cents today to close at $93.96 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Yesterday, oil recorded its biggest gain of the new year. But there's good news for drivers. They're paying a little less for gas. The nationwide average price for a gallon of regular fell 1 penny today to $3.30.
- Intel's fourth-quarter net income is pretty well in line with analysts' predictions. Net income for the world's largest chipmaker rose 6 percent, as higher sales of other products offset flat demand for its personal computer chips. Intel earned $2.63 billion, or 51 cents per share, up from $2.47 billion, or 48 cents per share, in the same quarter of 2012. Revenue rose 3 percent to $13.83 billion.
- A panel of Food and Drug Administration experts is again opposing expanding use of Johnson & Johnson's blood thinner Xarelto to reduce dangerous blood clots in a new group of patients, those with acute coronary artery disease. The panel says too much information is missing from J&J studies to accurately gauge Xarelto's benefit. The FDA isn't required to follow the panel's advice, though it often does.
- Time Warner says it has found a new home. The global media company says it's planning to move its New York headquarters from its current location in Manhattan's Columbus Circle to a complex being built on the borough's west side. Time Warner says it plans to consolidate its headquarters and its divisions at the end of 2018 in a 1,227 feet high tower at Hudson Yards.

As an investment strategy, FOXHALL CAPITAL follows long-term trends in the stock market. During long-term bull markets, we try to remain fully invested in the stock market. During long-term bear markets, like 2000 to 2002 and 2008 to 2009, we can move our portfolios up to 100% in cash and U.S. treasury bonds in an attempt to preserve our clients' capital.
But there are usually shorter cycles within long-term bull markets that the successful investor needs to recognize. For instance, in my opinion, most economic growth and stock market growth takes place between late October and late April of each year.
During the summer months and early fall from May to October, the economy usually slows as the weather gets warmer, people take their vacations and go to baseball games. Don't ask me why this happens, but this has been a prominent trend for the past 60 years.
One of the characteristics of the "summer doldrums" is that the stock market tends to go up and down during this period in a side-ways pattern. That is what we are seeing right now.
Over the past few weeks we have seen corrections in the stock market, and corrections in commodities.
However, commodities are still the best performing asset class for the year. As I mentioned in my last GLOBAL OUTLOOK, I believed this was just a short-term correction. That is what it turned out to be. Oil is now back over $100 a barrel, gold has come back and is just 3% below its most recent high and even silver is back to the price it traded at two months ago in late April.
The government has issued the usual weak summer economic data and I expect the economy to grow at a very mediocre pace throughout the summer, just as it did last summer.
With regard to the stock market, we should see both ups and downs all summer long, but I still believe the stock market will grow at least in single digits over the next 4 or 5 months. I then believe we will see strong growth the last 3 months of the year. I will write about this in future GLOBAL OUTLOOKS.
Just as we have experienced for the past few weeks, we should continue to see the stock market go up a few percent a day and then suddenly drop a few percent the next day. That is the typical pattern of the "summer doldrums."
It seems almost every time China raises interest rates to try to slow their economic growth the stock market goes down for a few days and then recovers. It appears every time Greece looks like it will default again on its debt the market goes down and when the European Central Bank comes up with a new plan, the stock market goes up again.
This is the pattern we should see all summer. Here are some of the other events that could cause the stock market to gyrate over the coming months:
EUROPEAN DEBT CRISIS: It now looks like Spain, Portugal and possibly Italy may need some sort of bailout from the European Central Bank and the IMF.
THE END OF QE2: QE2 is the name given to the Federal Reserve's latest stimulus program. It will end on June 30th and many investors will be concerned with the effect this will have on the stock market. This will probably cause the stock market some turmoil around the end of June. I believe by August everyone will see this as a non-event.
DEBT CEILING DEBATE: As the republicans and democrats "play chicken" up to the last minute before they have to vote to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, this artificial political drama could cause great anxiety in the stock market as the world worries about the U.S. government defaulting and causing a major global economic crisis. As Winston Churchill once said, "the Americans will always do the right thing, after they have tried everything else." As usual, there will be a last minute "face-saving" deal and our brave politicians will declare victory by raising the debt ceiling once more.
GYRATING U.S. DOLLAR: The U.S. dollar could gyrate all summer long. During every European debt crisis the dollar could go up against the Euro. During the debt ceiling debate the dollar could go down as global investors worry about and U.S. default. While the long-term trend in the U.S. dollar is down because of our printing money and deficit spending, short-term economic events should have it swinging both ways over the next few months.
MIDDLE EAST UNREST: The continuing unrest in the Middle East and the problems in Afghanistan and Pakistan should continue to inject uncertainty in global stock markets.
As I have stated before, the successful investor stays focused on long-term trends and tries to ignore the "noise" of short-term transient gyrations in the stock market.
Here is what the long-term trends tell us:
All of the long-term economic trends are positive and solidly in place. Yes, the U.S. economic recovery is mediocre, but the U.S. economy is still growing and there is almost no chance, short of some unforeseen economic disaster, that could cause the U.S. to slip back into a double-dip recession.
Asian economies are slowing and this is very good news. This means that Asian Central Bank policies are working. Asian Central Banks have been raising interest rates for over a year in an effort to slow Asia's unsustainable growth rates to a more sustainable 6% to 9% growth rate. Their policies are working and many Central Banks are signaling that they will stop raising rates over the coming months. When this happens, I believe Asian and emerging stock markets will take off.
Commodities are still in a 10-year to 15-year long-term bull market. Even if underlying economies like China are trying to reduce their growth rate from 12% to 9%, that doesn't necessarily signal a slow down in their buying commodities. The vast majority of commodity buying is by Asian governments as they are building long-term infrastructure projects like super highways, power plants, airports and new electrical grids. These projects also provide jobs, so they are unlikely to slow even if the overall local private sector economy is slowing. Many Asian governments have large surpluses to pay for these massive infrastructure projects. I believe commodities will continue to be in demand and continue to rise over the long-term.
Unfortunately, unforeseen disasters are becoming commonplace.
I would have thought anyone was crazy if they had told me five months ago:
That the Egyptian and Tunisian governments would be overthrown by students.
That the U.S. would be invading another Middle Eastern country like Libya.
That Japan would have an historic earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant melt down.
That the U.S. Navy Seals would find and kill Osama Bin Laden.
That Donald Trump and Sarah Palin would lead republican presidential polls and be taken seriously as possible presidential candidates.
This has all happened in the last five months!
The economist, Nassim Taleb has written a book about what he calls "Black Swan Events." These are highly improbable events that seem to be happening with greater and greater frequency.
We now live in a global economy where things happen in other parts of the world we can't control and they end up affecting the U.S. stock market.
This is a new economic era—a dangerous era and a fragile world.
We believe that one of the effective ways to navigate this brave new world is with the FOXHALL INVESTMENT PROCESS that provides a bull market strategy that keeps investors largely invested during long-term bull markets and a bear market strategy that quickly moves investors out of stocks and into cash, treasury bonds or other investments in an attempt to protect a clients principal once a long-term down trending market is identified.
Second, we believe that every portfolio should have a significant exposure to commodity and commodity producers like oil, gold and other precious metals, to try and protect clients against unforeseen "Black Swan" disasters and the purchasing power of client ac-counts against the ravages of inflation.
Based on Foxhall's proprietary inflation research, we recently increased the commodities/hard asset exposure from 10% to 16% in the strategies that include diversified equity.
For investors that do not have exposure to a broad range of commodities, the Foxhall Global Commodities & Hard Assets Strategy is a convenient way to add that exposure. All Foxhall investment options include the "dual strategy" component that is designed to avoid prolonged exposure to long term market down trends.
We believe this change should help our clients navigate the "summer doldrums" with a higher margin of safety in an uncertain world.
While I predict an up and down summer, I still believe we will end the year with positive stock market gains.

Remember Me
Letter to the Editor:What cultural forces influence mentally deranged individuals to become mass murderers? The Newtown, Conn., massacre of children and adults again raises questions we have asked ourselves before. Of course the answers are complex. Here are a few basic things to consider.Our concept of good and evil today is partly shaped by a prevailing attitude of moral relativism, where humankind is the measure of all things, there are no absolutes. By the time one becomes a young adult, this way of thinking has been drilled into him by academia, the entertainment industry and the media.For example, we deny that the unborn child is a person, and thus abortion becomes an acceptable choice in dealing with an inconvenient pregnancy. In our quest for sexual freedom we trash traditional morality that Americans have valued for centuries.
Having used medical hypnosis in the past to help patients with various needs, I have great respect for the power of suggestion. The same dynamic is at work in the area of advertising. Experts in the field have told me that firms like Coca Cola sometimes will advertise with just a picture of a Coke, known by almost everyone, because it is vitally important to keep one's product in the public eye constantly. Images sell, and they influence behavior, for good or for bad.What images and philosophies collectively distort a deranged mind to the point where he turns to unspeakable violence? Take your pick. A half-century ago we had plenty of action movies with guns blazing. But there were clearly good guys and bad guys, and good always triumphed over evil.Today we have violent video games that glorify indiscriminate killing. And gangster rap trivializes murder and the abuse of women. Again, the mind is shaped by images and ideas that we take in. Prisoners incarcerated for violent sex crimes almost always admit that their criminal behaviors had their origins in repeated viewing of pornography. I fear that strict gun control measures will only make things worse.These laws do nothing to remove the desire that some people have to kill. Murderers will only become more creative. Bombs, biological and chemical weapons may be the next methods for mass murder. Prevention of all these atrocities is not likely.But we can start on a path toward fewer horrific incidents by addressing how we think as a society. Adler said that how we think determines how we behave and how we feel. Our country was founded upon Judeo-Christian principles, but increasingly we are turning from them.We need better role models in professional athletes, in the entertainment industry, and in our leaders. Schools can get back to teaching moral absolutes. And we obviously need strong families that stress traditional values. We cannot change a culture overnight, but we can do better.In the meantime, there are immediate steps we can take. One example is the suggestion that school principals and other officials could have guns hidden in their offices to use in the event of an emergency. This measure might have saved some lives in previous shootings, and might act as a deterrent in the future.The most difficult question is how to diagnose when a mental patient is a risk to society. Science has not solved that challenge yet.Warren Anderson, MDLake Forest, Ill.

---- — MERRIMAC — A sex offender believed to sell crack cocaine in the Greater Newburyport area and known on the streets as "Snoop Dogg" was arrested Wednesday at his girlfriend's Greenleaf Park apartment, marking the culmination of a month-long operation, according to local police.
Peter Serrano, 34, of 790 Main St., No. 2, Haverhill, was arraigned yesterday at Newburyport District Court on four counts of class B drug possession (crack cocaine) with intent to distribute, four counts of conspiring to violate drugs laws and a heroin possession charge. He also had a warrant for his arrest out of Haverhill District Court for not registering as a sex offender. He is being held on $10,000 cash bail and is due back in court Nov. 15 for a pretrial hearing.
According to Merrimac police Chief Eric Shears, Serrano was arrested Wednesday around 5:30 p.m. inside his girlfriend's Greenleaf Park apartment, where he had been staying, after selling an undercover police officer $120 worth of crack cocaine. At the same time, police arrested his girlfriend, Tyla J. Ellis, 26, of 4A Greenleaf Park, Merrimac.
Ellis was charged with distributing a class B substance, possession of a class E substance and a previous warrant for reckless endangerment of a child. Shears said the child endangerment charge is based on Ellis allegedly bringing her 7-year-old daughter along on one of the drugs deals conducted by her boyfriend. In surveillance photos included in court documents, Ellis is shown driving Serrano back to their apartment building and walking with him and her daughter, shortly before one of the alleged drug buys. At her arraignment at the Newburyport courthouse, Ellis was released on personal recognizance until a pretrial hearing scheduled for Nov. 15.
At the time of Serrano's arrest, police found 23 crack cocaine rocks with a street value of $690, marijuana and $586 in cash, including $120 Merrimac police had used to purchase four crack cocaine rocks, according to Shears.
"We don't usually see that kind of activity in Merrimac," Shears said, adding that the Greenleaf Park apartment complex is not known as a hot spot for drug deals.
Wednesday's buy was the fourth conducted by undercover police officers over the course of about a month starting Sept. 26. All the buys took place around Ellis' Greenleaf Park residence, according to court records.
Shears said Serrano's arrest was made possible by the close cooperation between Merrimac police Officer Robert Coppola, Amesbury police and Salisbury police. Also playing a part was a federal grant that Newburyport, Amesbury and Salisbury police have been awarded the last two years: the Edward J. Byrne Memorial Justice Grant program. Assisting in the arrests were Shears, Amesbury police detectives David Pare and Sean Leary, Amesbury police officer Thomas Nichols, Merrimac police officers Richard Holcroft, Steven Ringuette and several Salisbury police officers.
"The cooperation lead to the arrest of a substantial street-level drug dealer getting him off the streets," Shears said.
Police are continuing its investigation into the matter and checking with area agencies to determine Serrano's sex offender classification, Shears said.

A woman in Montgomery County is facing child abuse and neglect charges after police said the mother was upset that her 9-year-old's clothes were not ready for school.
Police responded around midnight to an apartment on Market Street after a neighbor called about a screaming child and a woman hitting her son.
Investigations said there was enough of a disturbance that a group started gathering outside of the apartment and was ready to enter to stop the woman.
When officers arrived, they said they could hear screaming and slapping coming from inside of the residence.
Officers went to the door and spoke with the woman, identified as Jessica Mires, 35, who they said was highly intoxicated and uncooperative.
Police then spoke with the woman's 9-year-old son and determined Mires was upset with the child's clothes.
Mires is accused of hitting the boy with an open hand on the back several times, which left red marks.
Medical staff examined the child at the scene, but he was not transported to a hospital.

The tallest building in downtown Dallas tested its new lights Wednesday morning and for the first time in decades they are not green.
A few watchful Twitter users posted pictures of a purple and blue Bank of America Plaza.
The building is known for its famous green lights, but they were turned off in July for the installation of a more energy efficient and modern LED lighting system.
The official re-lighting ceremony is next week.
