watching girls duckdive
It's hard for me to explain what I love about surfing, I just love every aspect of it. From frothing while suiting up in parking lot to the paddle out, and then the actual wave riding. I love that completely exhausted, satisfied feeling after a session, recalling the best waves/turns in my head on the drive home. Then almost as soon as I get out of the water I'm already thinking about my next session. I just can't get enough...
I think the thing that I like best about surfing is that it feels like it shouldn't be happening. You shouldn't be allowed to stand on water or be able to be in the water when it is 36 degrees. The initial feeling of surfing and the feeling of being in the water with snow on the ground is just bizaare, and I enjoy that bizaare feeling. It makes every day stand out from the ordinary.
There's a good line in "The Search for Captain Zero" that sums it up for me pretty well.
In waiting for a wave, in sitting out there between sets, bad thoughts, obsessive thoughts, will surface, but while actually riding, while standing up and searching for that rhythm, no matter how awful the day I'm having, my mind is clean and clear and blank and therefore content. I have never, not ever, had a conscious thought, good, bad or indifferent, while in the act of riding a wave. Some days I really need that vacuum, that purity.
- Alan Weisbecker (surfer, author of Cosmic Banditos and In Search of Captain Zero, nomad)
Let me add this to my own comment above. While you can find that "vacuum, that purity" in other pursuits like meditation or playing music or whatever, the thing about surfing for me is the direct, pure connection to something so much larger than ourselves. The wave is generated from energy from some distant storm, travels hundreds, maybe thousands of miles and then, at the last second of its life before it explodes and that energy is returned back to the universe, you jump into that explosion and stand there, using all your senses and everything you've practiced for so many years, dreamed about so many nights and you just get in that spot feel it. I spent a long time sitting in church pews in my life and never felt a damn thing. This works.
When I was young I surfed for some of the same reasons as Andy. Espicicially after I caught my first wave, I remember it clear as day. After that I was hooked instanly just like what Andy said.
my favorite things has to be the pure enjoyment i get when i either surf a knee high wave or oh wave i just always have the biggest smile on my face. and it seems like im always happy when i always get a surf session in for a day and when i dont surf for a day or two im always cranky or not wanting to do anything.
Hell yea to all of these great posts. I'm getting stoked for tomorrows session just looking at these. I'm glad i found a place where I can express myself to others that feel the same way. that AI clips is heartbreaking especially when you think about his kid and his brother stepping up. Life is short. Do what you love and don't do anything else. Peace and see ya in the water. YEWWWWWW!! haha
Yea buddy. The thing about surfing for me, I just want to do it all the time, and I can't get sick of it.
And it looks like its gonna be ridable all weekend, with jets and helos flying overhead, not many guys can experience that
After I get out of the water I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders or kinda like I just let out a huge amount of tension building up from the everyday norm we call life. Triming up and getting perched on the nose and just standin out there for about 70 yards or so then doing a bottom turn and the long paddle back to the line up make me feel like I just did something thats never been done before or I have acomplished some great task. Its weird but most people wont understand it unless they surf

Lockheed Martin Selects Northrop Grumman's Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) For The F-16 AESA Radar Upgrade Program
LINTHICUM, Md., July 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has competitively selected Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE: NOC) Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) for the U.S. Air Force and Taiwan F-16 radar modernization and upgrade programs.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121024/LA98563LOGO)
Work on the F-16 AESA (active electronically scanned array) radar program will be performed at Northrop Grumman's Electronic Systems sector headquarters facility in Linthicum.
"The F-16 has been a front-line fighter for the Air Force for more than 30 years, and SABR will keep it there for decades to come. We built on our rich heritage of active electronically scanned array innovation to deliver fifth generation fighter radar capability to the F-16. SABR will provide F-16s unprecedented operational capability, greater reliability and viability in threat environments beyond 2025," said Joseph Ensor, vice president and general manager of Northrop Grumman's ISR and Targeting Systems Division."The conclusion of the AESA radar competition marks the next chapter in the Fighting Falcon's ongoing evolution – the F-16V," said Roderick McLean, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin's F-16/F-22 Integrated Fight Group. "This next generation radar will deliver unprecedented capabilities to the most widely used 4th generation fighter ever flown." Northrop Grumman's newest airborne fire control radar, SABR is an affordable, multifunction AESA radar designed for low risk retrofit in current F-16s and is scalable for integration in other aircraft. SABR provides improved situational awareness, greater detection, high-resolution SAR maps, automatic target cueing, electronic protection, interleaved air-to-air and air-to-surface mode operations, and all-environment precision strike capability. "SABR's affordability, proven performance, and low risk make it the natural choice as the baseline AESA radar for new F-16 production aircraft and upgrades worldwide," noted Ensor. Other AESA radars developed by the company are currently flying on the Block 60 F-16, F-22 and F-35 Lightning II.

In 1694, Arent Schuyler, a young surveyor, miner and land speculator, was sent into north-western New Jersey to investigate rumors that the French were trying to incite the local Lenni-Lenape Native Americans to rebel against the English. Schuyler found no evidence of a rebellion, but discovered a rich fertile valley where the Lenni-Lenape grew a variety of crops. Schuyler reported his findings to the English and then convinced Major Anthony Brockholst, Samuel Bayard, Samuel Berry, Hendrick and David Mandeville, George Ryerson and John Mead to invest in the purchase of the land he referred to as the Pompton Valley. The seven chose Schuyler to be negotiator with the Lenape for the rights to the area. Samuel Bayard purchased 5,000 acres (20 km2) from the East Jersey Company on November 11, 1695, in what was then known as New Barbadoes Township in Bergen County.[20]
In 1710, this same area became part of Saddle River Township in Bergen County. By 1837, the residents of Wayne found themselves in Manchester Township in the newly formed Passaic County. Finally, on April 12, 1847, the first Wayne Township organization meeting was held at the Henry Casey House on the Paterson-Hamburg Turnpike. The citizens voted to name the town after American Revolutionary War General Anthony Wayne. The first mayor, called the Chairman of the Township Committee until 1962, was William S. Hogencamp.[21]
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, Wayne remained a farming community. The Morris Canal ran through the southwestern part of Wayne, carrying produce to market and coal from Pennsylvania. The canal was replaced by the railroad at the end of the 19th century. In the early 20th century, Wayne grew as a vacation retreat for wealthy New Yorkers. In the summer, visitors came from Manhattan and Brooklyn to live in the summer bungalows and enjoy the rivers.
After World War II, many summer bungalows were converted to year-round residences to accommodate factory workers and farmland was converted to residential living. As Wayne grew, it adopted its current form of government in 1962.[22] Modern highways, including New Jersey Route 23, U.S. Route 46, and Interstate 80 made Wayne easily accessible, and several national firms have located here.
Wayne is located at 40°56′45″N 74°14′42″W / 40.945855°N 74.245077°W (40.945855, −74.245077). According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had a total area of 25.174 square miles (65.202 km2), of which, 23.728 square miles (61.456 km2) of it is land and 1.446 square miles (3.746 km2) of it (5.75%) is water.[1][2]
Wayne shares its borders with 12 neighboring municipalities. Franklin Lakes and Oakland in Bergen County; Fairfield and North Caldwell in Essex County; Lincoln Park and Pequannock in Morris County; and Haledon, Little Falls, North Haledon, Paterson, Pompton Lakes, and Totowa in Passaic County.
Neighborhoods and lake communities[edit]
Wayne has a number of lakes, with distinct communities and neighborhoods located around them. These include Pines Lake, Packanack Lake, Lions Head Lake, Tom's Lake and Pompton Lake (half of which is in Wayne). The Passaic River also flows through a portion of Wayne and often floods near Willowbrook Mall and riverside neighborhoods.

- 9. Is Swerve Sweetener available in any food products?
- 10. How can I get my local health food store, which is not on your list of customers, to carry Swerve Sweetener products so that purchasing is more convenient for me?
1. How does Swerve Sweetener compare to Splenda?
- Swerve Sweetener is all-natural. Splenda is partly artificial.
- Our proprietary formulation of erythritol is made by enzymatic processes where enzymes break-down natural foods that are a part of your everyday diet (fruits and vegetables). The process that we use to yield the white crystals is the introduction of microorganisms classified as "osmotolerant". The non-GMO microorganisms are introduced, and during that 3 day "fermentation" process a white crystalline powder is formed. Those crystals are then purified with natural activated charcoal and ultrafiltration, no chemicals involved.. Splenda contains a chlorinated carbon-based chemical.
- Swerve Sweetener tastes exactly like sugar…Guaranteed and Powdered. Splenda does not back such a guarantee.
- Swerve Sweetener is perfect for baking, just like sugar. Splenda requires special recipes for baking.
- Swerve Sweetener Granular has 0 Calories per 5 gram tsp. Splenda Sugar Blend for Baking has 20 Calories per 5 gram tsp.
- Swerve Sweetener replaces sugar one-for-one. Splenda replaces sugar one-for-two.
2. Swerve Sweetener is new, but is it safe?
Each of the natural ingredients in the proprietary formulation of Swerve Sweetener is accepted by the US FDA as safe for food use or GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status. These sugars have all been consumed as significant nutrients in the human diet for hundreds of years. With Swerve Sweetener, you can expect fewer calories and impact carbohydrates in your daily diet, reduced blood sugar excursions after eating, and increased growth of healthful bacteria in your large intestine that actually improves digestion. Back to top.
3. Is Swerve Sweetener safe for diabetics?
Yes. Swerve Sweetener has been tested in type 2 diabetics in the clinic and has been found to have no glycemic index of glucose. After-meal blood glucose excursions were reduced significantly. Unlike alternative sweeteners on the market, you do not have to revise your favorite recipes to accommodate Swerve Sweetener. Just replace the table sugar called for in your recipes one-for-one with Swerve Sweetener. Back to top.
4. Is Swerve Sweetener effective for low-carbohydrate dieters?
Because of it's zero glycemic index, Swerve Sweetener Granular and Swerve Sweetener Confectioners Style are ideal for low-carb dieters. Erythritol is labeled as a carbohydrate (5grams) because it is basically a fiber (made from plants), but no calories, it is an anomaly. The carbohydrate count for table sugar is 4 grams per teaspoon and 15 calories. Back to top.
5. How should I use Swerve Sweetener in foods?
Simply stated, you can use Swerve Sweetener to replace ordinary sugar one-for-one in any food without sacrificing the good taste or properties of the original food. Because of the propensity of Swerve Sweetener. Back to top.
6. How is Swerve Sweetener different from others?
Our all-natural blend has the same sweetness level as ordinary sugar, the same functional properties in foods, one third of the calories and 0 carbohydrates and 0 glycemic index of sugar. No single alternative sweetener on the market today comes as close to table sugar in terms of taste and functional properties as Swerve Sweetener! The limitations of high-intensity sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame K, saccharin and stevia are well-known to weight-conscious consumers. First, high-intensity sweeteners, while virtually free of calories because of the small amount required, do not provide any of the functional or bulk properties of ordinary sugar. Second, each one has a variety of limitations such as tainted safety record, licorice taste, unpleasant after-taste, loss of sweetness in hot foods or during warehouse storage, alleged headaches, etc. The Digestibility of erythritol and erythritol causing gas comes from the addition of inulin in the mixture. We have figured out a way to create our own version of an "erythritol" based sweetener that is rapidly absorbed by the small intestine due to the small molecular size and structure. Because more than 90% of ingested swerve is absorbed and excreted unchanged, allowing less than 5% to reach the large intestine, foods containing even a substantial amount of Swerve will not cause digestive discomfort, and are actually able to further promote digestive health by adding beneficial microflora to the diet. Back to top.
7. Are there any side effects from the use of Swerve Sweetener?
No side effects have been observed in the clinical tests performed to date, and no observations of side effects of any kind were reported by participants in the Consumer Survey. Back to top.
8. What about allergies from eating Swerve Sweetener?
There are no allergen warnings associated with Swerve Sweetener. Because Swerve is made from a natural enzymatic process, there are no original plant constituents remaining, only sweet, white crystals. Back to top.
9. Is Swerve Sweetener available in any food products?
Yes, we are currently making and selling Cajun Candied Pecans with Swerve Sweetener and have recently begun mass manufacturing Aunt Sally's "Lite" Pralines with Swerve Sweetener. Back to top.
10. How can I get my local health food store, which is not on your list of customers, to carry Swerve Sweetener products so that purchasing is more convenient for me?
Just ask your local retailer to contact us toll free 1-888-292-5660 to request more information about Swerve Sweetener, including a wholesale price list. We will be glad to send information free of charge and follow up in a week to make sure that the product and price information is satisfactory. Back to top.

1. Letter to your government
Mr. President/Prime Minister
Dear Sir,
It is the desire of every country to develop a friendly and a good relation with other countries. Our country is no exception to this. However, we do find that there are occasions where the abuse and oppression in a country is intolerable and our silence is taken to signify acquiescence.
Since September 1998, the world has seen the drastic erosion of democratic rights in Malaysia. The sacking of Anwar Ibrahim from his position as the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, his subsequent beating and kangaroo trial marks the lowest ebb in Malaysian politics. What has happened since then demonstrates to us the abuse and violation of human rights that can take place in a country where the independence and integrity of the democratic institutions is undermined. What this has created is a situation where the leader, Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohammad, is no longer accountable to anyone and act with impunity.
Malaysia may seem like a distant land and Anwar Ibrahim just one person. But we have seen how crises in the hinterland of Europe, such as in Kosova and Bosnia, can ultimately threaten regional security. Likewise, Anwar Ibrahim represents more than just himself. He represents a generation that is seeking to build a Malaysia that is more liberal, democratic, open and progressive. This is a stark contrast to the chauvinistic and narrow-minded nationalism of Mahathir.
I would like to urge that our government take a clear and firm position on the deteriorating situation in Malaysia. Let us not wait for it to become a disaster for us to act. All disasters have its origin in small abuses and violations that are ignored. I would like to suggest that our government take the following steps to check the deteriorating situation in Malaysia:
2. Letter To the King of Malaysia and the Sultans of Each State.
This letter can be sent to the Malaysian High Commission or Embassy in your country
Link to Addresses of Malaysian High Commissions or Embassies in your country
Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Link
His Royal Highness The King of Malaysia
His Royal Highness The Sultan of Kelantan
His Royal Highness The Sultan of Terengganu
His Royal Highness The Sultan of Pahang
His Royal Highness The Sultan of Johor
His Royal Highness The Sultan of Selangor
His Royal Highness The Sultan of Perak
His Royal Highness The Sultan of Perlis
His Royal Highness The Sultan of Kedah
His Royal Highness The Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan
His Excellency The Governor of Penang
His Excellency The Governor of Melaka
His Excellency The Governor of Sabah
His Excellency The Governor of Sarawak
Your Majesties,
May this letter reach Your Highnesses under the most pleasant of circumstances. Permit me to take a moment of your time. What is to be said in this letter is of such importance that only a person of Your Majesties exalted position can provide a recourse.
Malaysia is a beautiful country with a vibrant culture and friendly people. Many people have come to love it and have a high regard of it. However, lately we are distressed by the political turmoil that has enveloped the country since the sacking of Anwar Ibrahim as the deputy prime minister and his subsequent beating and mock trial. It is unfortunate that a country with so much potential is dragged down this path.
We believe Your Majesties have the foresight to see that this crisis will deteriorate if the injustices taking place in Malaysia is unchecked. Already, Malaysia today is being compared with the more oppressive regimes of the world. It is becoming internationally isolated. This is happening at a time when other countries in the region are becoming more democratic and embracing international standards on human rights.
Of particular concern to many is the unjust trial and imprisonment of Anwar Ibrahim. The Malaysian constitution provides Your Majesty with the power to pardon a person. We beg upon Your Majesties to exercise this power to remedy the injustice that has taken place. If this not done, the injustice that has taken place will only lead to more injustices. This downward spiral of event will put Malaysia in a state it does not deserve. The people of Malaysia deserve to live as free people without being shadowed by the fear that what has happened to Anwar Ibrahim can happen to them. Only Your Majesties can assure them of this. Pardon Anwar Ibrahim and let the people know that Your Majesties remains the place they can put their hope and trust.
Thank You
3. To the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

I have always had a high regard of Malaysia and your leadership. I thought of you as someone who is capable of presenting an alternative perspective to the world. I saw in the leadership team of you and your former deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, a dynamic duo. However, my attitude has very much changed since.
The mock trial and imprisonment of Anwar Ibrahim reveals to me the other side of Dr. Mahathir. Suddenly, I realized that this Malaysian doctor also has a Mr. Hyde to him. I have begun to wonder what all of your past speeches really meant. I am beginning to wonder whether Mahathir Mohammad is in fact just another dictator. Or should I just say you are not any better than the colonial masters that you so frequently harangue.
You have so much to offer to your country and I am surprised that you have let the worse part of you prevail. It is as though instead of letting history record you as the most able leader of modern Malaysia you have chosen to be a political outcast, not just amongst your people, but also in the eyes of the international community.
Free Anwar Ibrahim and demonstrate the little magnamity you may still be able to. I assure you Malaysians for generations to come will remember you in a better light.
You can print them directly from their webpages or download the text versions and customize as you see fit. Don't forget to include your own address in the letter.
4. To your local NGOs and Colleagues
As you are aware, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, is currently undergoing imprisonment after being found guilty in a trial described by many international bodies as unfair and controversial. A Free Anwar Campaign (FAC) has been initiated by a group of conscientious Malaysians. You can get further information on the FAC by visiting its official website www.freeanwar.com.
I would like to seek your help with this campaign by assisting in the dissemination of information. The FAC will be initiating specific programs from time to time. Your support and assistance in these programs will be very much appreciated.
5. Please write to Anwar Ibrahim to express your support and concern at the given address
send an email to email@example.com and we will deliver it to him for you.

You may find the information in this months QST or at www.ARRL.org if you are interested in being nominated. I have enjoyed being your representative and would serve another term if you all desire. =====================================================
Affiliated clubs check your membership and be sure your members are
current with their ARRL memberships.
Also don't forget the new hams as ARRL membership has its benefits as
they get started.
I am passing the following info to all you great hams in Wyoming.
Greetings --
As you may know, ARRL recently worked with members of the United States
House of Representatives to successfully introduce a bipartisan bill
that would extend PRB-1 coverage to homeowners' association regulations
and deed restrictions (also known as "covenants, conditions, and
restrictions", or CC&Rs). Presently, PRB-1 only applies to state and
local zoning laws and ordinances. The next crucial step for H.R. 4969,
the "Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2014", is to gain co-sponsors (*not*
votes) in the US House. The more co-sponsors, the more support the
legislation has, and the better the chances of its passing.
Details about this development can be found at:
This is a call to action for all ARRL members in Wyoming's At-Large
Congressional District to contact your Congresswoman -- Rep Cynthia
Lummis --, inform her of this bi-partisan legislation, and kindly
request that she sign on to it as a co-sponsor. Please cut and paste
the sample email below (or compose a similar one of your own, if
preferred) -- FIRST MAKING SURE THAT YOU ADD YOUR NAME TO THE
-- and email it to Rep Lummis using the Congressional email form at:
Within the page above, enter in your zip code (if requested), fill in
the required fields and paste the letter in the "Message Text" field.
If asked for the issue you're writing about, select
"Telecommunications", Science and Technology", or a related category.
In the Subject box, enter "Please cosponsor H.R. 4969".
Please forward a copy of your correspondence to me for my records and
so I can summarize the level of response from members of the Rocky
Mountain Division to ARRL's government relations firm on Capitol Hill
who is advocating on our behalf within the halls of Congress (please do
not CC me in your original email to your Congresswoman; forward me a
separate copy afterwards).
The sample email below concludes by inviting questions your
Congresswoman may have. If you are contacted by your Congresswoman or
her staff, and aren't quite comfortable answering their questions
about the legislation, please contact me and I will be happy to provide
you with guidance.
Finally, if by chance you know your Congresswoman personally, or any of
his/her staff, please contact me immediately.
Thank you and 73,
Brian Mileshosky
ARRL Director, Rocky Mountain Division

Dear Congresswoman Lummis,
I am a constituent in your District and wish to bring an important
issue to your attention. I am a federally licensed Amateur Radio
operator, one of over 280 whom reside in your District. We provide
wireless communications support for community events; provide public
service, search-and-rescue, severe weather, and disaster communications
for local governmental agencies and non-governmental agencies (NGO) such
as the Red Cross and Salvation Army; provide communications support to
the United States military through its Military Auxiliary Radio System
(MARS); for our neighbors when mainstream communications degrade or
become inoperable; and contribute towards the advancement of wireless
communications as developers and experimenters of new, novel, and
further efficient means of communicating and transferring information.
Our ability to conduct the above public services is hindered by
prohibitions that disallow the placement of even the simplest antenna
on our property.
Recently a bi-partisan Bill, H.R. 4969 (the "Amateur Radio Parity Act
of 2014"), was introduced by Rep Kinzinger (R-IL) and Rep Courtney
(D-CT) which would extend the ability to properly negotiate with
developments that have restrictions which routinely preclude Amateur
Radio operators from putting up even a barely visible wire antenna in a
tree. We already have this ability with local zoning ordinances;
however an extension of similar reasonable accommodation to federally
licensed individuals residing under land use restrictions remains
sorely needed.
As your constituent, I am asking that you support H.R. 4969 by signing
on to it as a co-sponsor. Please contact Rep. Kinzinger's office to do
Should you have any questions about Amateur Radio or the importance of
this legislation, please contact me. Thank you.

===== ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Net =====
The next Rocky Mountain Division net takes place via IRLP. Anyone with
a VHF/UHF radio within range of an IRLP repeater can check in, hear the
latest Division news, and provide feedback to Division and Section
leadership who are on the net. Here are the details:
DATE: Wednesday, October 8
TIME: 7:30 PM mountain time
IRLP NODE: 9871 (link to this reflector from your local IRLP
Check out http://www.irlp.net (Node Info section) to find an
IRLP-capable repeater in your area. Generally all you need to do to
link into the reflector is enter "9871" with your DTMF keypad and wait
for the voice prompt indicating that the link is open. To unlink,
enter "73". However, to be safe, check with your local IRLP repeater's
trustee to confirm beforehand. Their contact information is found when
searching for IRLP repeaters in your area. If you've never used IRLP
before please experiment with linking/unlinking before the net.
This will be an interactive net, as well as an opportunity to ask your
Division and participating Section leadership questions, raise any
concerns, or suggest ideas. We hope you'll join us.
