|HURRAY!!! After lurking long and posting some, it's finally my turn. I couldn't have even
began this process without all of the wonderful information and pictures that I found on this forum. It was WAY too overwhelming. I found the post by tresw to be especially helpful. They did a great job of documenting the entire process. So...I am going to attempt to follow their example to benefit all the sequential analytics in the group like myself. If it's too many pics for some, maybe you can skim over a few. I just know that I wanted to see pictures of every step in the process. So, I hope some of you enjoy it. Also, PLEASE provide feedback for anything you see. I am certainly a novice at this, so if you see anything you think I should investigate or ask about, don't hesitate to let me know.
After paying off our house, we decided to live a little and finally do some landscaping around the yard. While spending a little time in the yard, trying to make some decisions about what to do with it, the thought occurred to build a pool. We tossed it around for several weeks before calling three pool companies to submit bids for the job. We have decided to complete the following projects, hopefully to be complete by July 4:
1. Pool
Pool Specs:
After much thought and several bids, we signed a contract with Pulliam Pools. Below are the pool statistics:
Pool Size: 20' X 38'
Kitchen Specs:
This is a picture of an outdoor kitchen that looks just like what I want. Mine will have rock columns instead of cedar and will face the pool long-ways.
Although I am not building in the grill, I am getting the KitchenAid beverage station with matching components like below:
Since the sewer line and underground electric line went right across my backyard, we had to have it relocated.
Day 1 (5/12/2008) - Excavation:
The excavation was a sight to behold. The huge machine they brought in made us feel like we were witnessing some prehistoric creature tear through our yard. Very thrilling.
Day 2 (5/13/2008) - Plumbing & Steel:
It was amazing to watch these guys work. They were obviously very skilled and experienced.
Day 3 (5/14/2008) - Electrician installs Copper Wire:
I'm not entirely sure what this step was for. I can only assume that this wire grounds all of the electric components to the pool so we don't all get electricuted. My guess.
Day 4 (5/15/2008) - City Inspection:
All I can say is - PASSED! I don't guess you want to see a picture of the green tag. ;-) Well, that brings us up to date. Tomorrow they are scheduled to gunite. VERY exciting day. I can't wait. Until then.....
Follow-Up Postings:
|Congratulations - looks great so far. Too many pictures? Not possible on this site... lol. We love seeing everyone's pictures! Keep them coming!
|AWESOME!! Excellent pool layout, you'll be glad you put the step-out in near the slide because the kids will slide down and jump right out to do it again :-) That outdoor kitchen is going to be fabulous! Looks like they're moving quickly on the pool, everything looks good from what I can see. The copper wire you commented on is for bonding. I'm no expert in bonding, but from what I understand it is different from grounding in that you're bonding all the metal around the pool together so that it reduces the shock hazard. Great job with the pics and descriptions, I'm looking forward to watching your progress!!
|Looks wonderful so far! Everyone loves to watch the progress on other pools! I used them to stay motivatated when our work was delayed... ha!
Green tag? We never got that, just a signature on the permit and lots of questions about our owner/build route.
Keep posting!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Fri, May 16, 08 at 18:27
|Day 5 (5/16/2008) - Gunite:
Well, the gunite process was really facinating. Those guys, just like the steel guys, are very good at what they do. Obviously a lot of experience there. They came around 7:15 and got right to work and left at 11:30. The foreman told me that they sometimes do 3 pools in a day. Amazing! They put plastic on the back of the house so it wouldn't get concrete on it. They also were kind enough to help me cover my square foot gardens so it wouldn't ruin my vegetables as well. At times, I couldn't imagine how it would possibly ever look like a pool with steps, etc. instead of a big grey blob. But....Voila! I guess things will probably slow down from here. It's been an exciting week. I haven't heard from the scheduler when the next group will be out to work on it. I assume it will be rock/coping and/or tile guys and possibly the electrician. The PB said it usually takes 4 weeks from excavation to build a pool, so only 3 more to go. W00T!!!!
These are weep holes in the floor of the pool to let any ground water come up through them instead of "floating" the pool while it's empty.
|I love the way your steps are staggered. I wish I'd have thought of that!
- Posted by firsttimepool (My Page) on Sat, May 17, 08 at 7:49
|Love the pool. I agree with smbnobles "I love the way your steps are staggered". I wish I would have done that in the deep end. It would be so much easier for the kids to exit the pool.
Can't wait to see more pictures!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Sat, May 17, 08 at 9:19
|Thanks for the compliments on the steps. I was trying to be conscience of taking up pool real estate. I tend to be spatially challenged and I was afraid the pool was going to be tiny. The pool looked much bigger after it was excavated. I think it will be a nice size for us.
|My pool *is* tiny, and that little move could have saved me some serious space! Why didn't you come along, like two months ago??? ;-)
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Wed, May 21, 08 at 14:32
|Wow, did things come a halt. Last week was crazy with something going on each day. I'm not sure anything is going to happen this week except for watering, watering, watering the gunite. Our temperatures got up to 99 this week, so we are watering it around 4 times a day. It is really giving us the fever to have a big pool to jump in. I was tempted today at lunch to give myself a big squirt with that nice cool water, but alas, I had to return to work. ;-) I just can't wait for tile, coping, and rock.....
|It is a little frustrating after gunite because things happen so quickly up to that point that it has one thinking that the pool will be finished in another week rather than 3 :-) This time of year you probably won't have any rain delays, so yours should get done on schedule. It looks like they did a really nice job on the gunite!
- Posted by momof3littleboys (My Page) on Wed, May 21, 08 at 21:55
|I agree, your steps are awesome.
I love the kitchen you are planning.
Keep the pics coming.
|It is truly the most frustrating part of a pool build. With the one I just built, it wasn't as bad, because we had the pergola being built during the lull. It always felt like something was going on.
If it makes you feel any better, I have a pool full of water that hasn't been started up, and unfinished decking. :-)
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Thu, May 22, 08 at 15:19
|Thanks for the words of encouragement. After reading some other posts (birdbath's 9 month horror story) I feel a bit like a spoiled child. I vow to be more patient.
tresw: Thanks for looking on the sunny side. You are right, I think we're in for some nice weather, so that should definitely help. BTW, my Turbo Twister slide came in on Monday. MAN!!!! Is it huge, or what? I do love the Sandstone color. I think it will go very well with the rock we chose. We took it out of the box and stashed it in the back yard under a tree. I paid extra in my contract to have the PB install it, but if you have any words of wisdom, feel free to share. I do have to supervise, you know. ;-)
momof3littleboys: Thanks for your comments. I'm very excited about the kitchen as well. I tried to order the sink and stainless steel components yesterday, but learned that they are backordered. I will try a couple of different places and see what I can find. Color me disappointed. (Ok, again with the patience thing. lol)
smbnobles: I have watching your pool thread as well. I really like your project. I LOVE the flooring under your pergola. I am interested in doing something like that on my back porch and possibly in the kitchen. I looked up your future furniture too; stunning. I am just about maxing out my budget with all of this, so it may be Walmart or Target furniture for me for a couple of years. We shall see. I hope they come do your startup soon. It looks just beautiful.
Well, I'll keep everyone posted. I'm looking forward to the long Memorial day weekend. Those of you with finished pools...I salute you!!! Have a great weekend.
|LOL! It is a monster, isn't it? Wait until you see the assembled slide!! If your PB has installed 1 or 2 before then they shouldn't have any problems. The main thing right now is you want to make sure that they get the waterline stubbed up in the right place. There are diagrams in the instructions that show where it's located (if you don't want to go digging through the boxes for the instructions they can be downloaded off of the SR Smith website too). I don't know if you saw this in my thread, but for some reason the manufacturer does not build a drip edge into the slide. So about half of the water goes in the pool and the other half runs underneath and all over your nice decking! I got some garage door weatherstripping (has a nice convex shape to it) at Lowes and painted it with vinyl paint, then screwed it onto the lower lip of the slide with stainless screws. It works perfect, all the water goes into the pool now! When your PB assembles the slide the gaskets need to be properly set or it will leak at the joints. If they haven't done one of these slides just make sure they read the instructions fully, it spells everything out really well. That's all I can think of for now.
We'll do some swimming for you this weekend :-) You'll be telling your own swimming stories very soon!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Sun, May 25, 08 at 11:35
|Hurray, Hurray!!! I was kinda bummed out because I thought nothing was going to get done this whole week on the pool. To my surprise (literally) I came home Friday to a crew working on the tile, coping, and rock. They worked all day Friday and Saturday, but it is done. We are very pleased with it. You never know how all the selections you make will turn out when they actually come together, but we really like it. Here are some more pics. Feedback is certainly welcome.
We already have someone relaxing by the pool.
|Looks great stonesmama! I like the alternating stacked look with the scuppers, is that blue tile for your waterline? 4th pic down really shows the tie in between all of the stone.
Kitty, looks so relaxed, I wonder if she knows what is about to be in it... ha ha.
Is your cat a Manx? My sister used to breed them, but she lives in Colo. You don't find them at all down here...
We started filling yesterday, water is almost done but we had our first "incident". Our Golden ran up too quickly and knocked one of our 11 mo. old pups into the water, on a step though, the look on her face as she lifted her paw and watched the water drip off was priceless...
|Those darn goldens...lol.
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Mon, May 26, 08 at 21:20
|Thanks susannap2. Yes, the blue tile is the waterline tile. I sure hope it all looks good together.
As for Sunny the cat, I'm not sure what kind of cat he is. We moved here a little over a year ago and he actually belongs to the neighbor a few doors down. He has really bonded with my family and spends a lot of time with us. He is such a funny cat and has a really neat personality. He is always right there with us, no matter what we are doing outside. I tell everyone he is the supervisor. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he jumps right in the pool when it gets finished. If not, he will surely be right on the edge watching us.
Ok, so everyone posts their dog pics, so here is my kitty pics. :-)
|Aw!!! What a sweetie! Are you sure you want a wet cat though? LOL! Keep us posted on your build!
|The stonework looks nice, I don't see Austin Limestone used around pools often but it looks great! It'll look very striking against the blue PT pool finish. Cute kitty, we used to have a few- my wife loves cats but she is horribly allergic to them!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Tue, May 27, 08 at 11:41
|Do you think it's a bad thing to have Austin Limestone around the pool? I know the trend is for the more natural look with boulders and such, but I think this suited our style. Is there a logistial reason there isn't much limestone used?
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 08 at 17:45
|Day 17 (5/28/2008) - Electrical Finish
I don't really have any pictures, but the electrician came yesterday and finished up the electrical work. They installed the pool lights and hooked up all the wiring to the pool equipment and installed the breaker boxes. The ground is really dug up now and, with the rain we had last night, is a muddy, mucky mess, so I'll have to take some pics later. We can't even leave the back porch now. The scheduler called and said that a crew would be out tomorrow to set the deck forms. I'm very excited about that. Yesterday I met with the job supervisor and added an additional 275 sq. ft. of deck. Gee, what's another $1600 when you've come this far?!?!? LOL We'll be eating beans and rice for a LONG time after this. If anyone has any recipes, forward them along. haha
|Quote: "Do you think it's a bad thing to have Austin Limestone around the pool?"
I wouldn't think so. Austin Limestone tends to sluff off little pieces over time, but you don't have much of it and it's not in contact with the water so I don't see a problem.
I'm sure you won't regret adding the extra deck, I've heard people complain about not having enough but have never heard anyone say they had too much :-)
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Sun, Jun 1, 08 at 22:53
|Day 19 (5/30/2008) - Deck Set
Ok, one more step toward the end. The crew was supposed to come on the 29th, but never showed up. They had an inspection scheduled for the 30th and the deck pour for Monday. Needless to say it will all be delayed a bit. Oh well. I don't know if it is too optimistic, but I'm thinking it sure would be nice to have water in the pool by next weekend. Probably early the week after that, but I can always dream. Here are some pics.
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Wed, Jun 4, 08 at 11:15
|Day 23 (6/3/2008) - Slide Assembly
They finally came today to put together our Turbo Twister Slide. We were really excited to see it go up. They are supposed to come on Thursday to pour the decks. I'm not sure when they will actually set the slide. We can almost see water at the end of the tunnel. lol The supervisor almost guaranteed me that we would get plaster next week.
|Yeah, he doesn't look excited at all. Bet he's dreading going down that thing! ;-)
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Wed, Jun 4, 08 at 18:10
|I know. The poor abused child. He was actually trying it out yesterday. I was holding the slide so it wouldn't tip over and he was sliding down on a towel. We should have water in a little over a week so we are trying like crazy to find distractions to keep us entertained until then. IT'S HARD!!!!
|Oh, how funny...lol
|Can we see pics of the towel slide? How cute! I understand the impatience, we ALL were the same way!
Keep us updated, oh and that is an awesome slide!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Thu, Jun 5, 08 at 22:52
|Day 25 (6/5/2008) - Deck Pour
Oh, happy day! They finally came to pour the decks. I was afraid they would cancel since the wind was blowing about 1000 miles an hour all day. Crazy! Anyway, I think they did a great job. It's wonderful to look out there and not see mounds of ugly dirt, sand, and debris. They are telling me that they will plaster a week from today. Oh, what agony!! LOL Let me know what you guys think.
|Is that river rock peagravel? I have it too, with OK Wister. I think the two blend very well together. I love the look!
You must be totally psyched to get decking in! I think out of the whole process (post-gunite), that was the crew that I was most excited to see! Just walked on level ground again was heaven!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Fri, Jun 6, 08 at 16:39
|I think it's river rock peagravel if I remember on our trip to the showroom. I really like the color. What I've seen in the past was more gray, but the reds really show through. We are very pleased. We are going to fill the areas between the deck and the house with Red Aztec Rock. I'm hoping it looks good as well.
I just can't tell you how psyched we are to get the decking in. Since the pool is so close to the house, everything has been SO dug up right off the back porch. We have tile floors and they have been gritty for weeks. We just can't keep them vacuumed. Anyway, I can't wait to scrub down the back porch and get things in order.
|Oh, I feel your pain. I have hardwood floors and after this, they look sandblasted near my breakfast room doors. :-(
My favorite day post pool/landscape mess was cleaning off my screened porch. It was so, so filthy! It's great not to have the dog tracking in all the Carolina clay on her paws too. You are so close to swimming! It looks great.
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Sun, Jun 8, 08 at 20:20
|It was great to get the back porch finally cleaned off this morning. We bought a new grill from Sears and got it all set up. Our new lawn furniture is still stacked up in our living room and office until the pool is completely finsished. I don't know if the PebbleTec process is messy or not and I didn't want it all over my new stuff. Hopefully it won't be. We are waiting with baited breath for Thursday/Friday.
smbnobles, I can only imagine what this grit did to your hardwood floors. I hope they can be polished up. Your pool sure is looking good. Your pots have inspired me. I found some pretty blue ones to go on each side of my raised beam. I think they will be perfect. Thanks.
|stonesmama -
Oh, what a beautiful pool! They are building it so fast(I'm the going-on-a-year now Infinity Edge girl). I love the tile you picked out and your aggregate deck! We were going to do flagstone on our deck, then I changed my mind at the last minute and wanted aggregate. Unfortunately, because of costs in other areas, I have to settle for gray cement this year. I'm going to keep your beautiful pictures, though, in hopes that we can someday do the same thing! It is very inspiring - it looks great with your other stone. Keep the pictures coming, PLEASE, I live vicariously through everyone else's pools :). By the way, I love your kitchen plans, too! You are never going to want to be in the house again!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Thu, Jun 12, 08 at 14:33
|Day 32 (6/12/2008) - PebbleTec Application
The light just opened up at the end of the tunnel. I've nearly made myself sick worrying that it wouldn't get done, but now, I have a beautiful application of PebbleTec. It is Blue Lagoon with Abalone Shell added. The process was very interesting and took around 4 1/2 hours from start to finish. From my understanding, they will return tomorrow to acid wash the pool. All of the cleanup and slide installation is scheduled for tomorrow as well. It looks like we will have some water to swim in this weekend. BTW, the supervisor told me that we could swim in it as soon as there was a couple of feet of water in the pool. Does this sound right? We are hoping to schedule the start-up on Monday. Is it ok to swim all weekend (just the 3 of us) with no chemicals?
|I cannot wait to see your final pictures! The finish looks just gorgeous! I hear that the abalone shell will sparkle very well. I assume you are filling already?
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Fri, Jun 13, 08 at 11:52
|Not quite yet. I am anxiously awaiting the crew to come for the acid wash and wrap-up. I expect them any time now. I don't know exactly how long it takes to fill the pool, but thank goodness it's the weekend. I don't think I could bear working knowing it's filling up without me. ;-)
|Woohoo! You're on the home stretch now!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Fri, Jun 13, 08 at 17:19
|*-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•:*We now have about 2 feet of water in the deep end. Almost there!!!!!-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-*
|Congrats! I bet your son is beside himself with excitement!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Sat, Jun 14, 08 at 14:35
|Ok, we've been filling up for 24 hours now and still have about a foot or more to go. This morning we ran out and swam from 8:30 until 11:30. It was SO relaxing. I was in heaven. Here are a few pictures of the PebbleTec acid bath and fill-up. My husband said our new Margaritaville mixer will get fired up tomorrow as we spend a wonderful Fathers Day outside.
|I love that last picture. That's one friendly neighborhood cat!
Your pool is looking fantastic!
I am soooooooooo happy for you!! What a beautiful interior finish! You must be thrilled to have water - how wonderful!
It's a gorgeous pool, enjoy your weekend in it. Have a swim for me :). Congratulations!
|stonesmama...have been following your posts and am so happy that you and your family are finally in...I think you're one of the first to use PebTec new blue lagoon cause I haven't seen many others pics with that color. We love it and have decided to use it for our pool. Would love to see the pool all filled and hope all is going well!
|Congrats on getting some swimming in at last :-) We had two pool parties Saturday and fired up our Margaritaville machine for the first time as well, it certainly makes a great margarita!!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Mon, Jun 16, 08 at 21:20
|Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
Birdbath, I follow your thread and I am SO anxious for you to get your pool filled too. It is going to be really beautiful. As hot as it is in your neck of the woods, you'll definitely need it!
Nutmegri, thanks for the compliments on the PebbleTec. It was very hard to decide on a color where I could find very few pictures. I took a chance and I do love the way it looks. I had the abalone shell added and we sure like the sparklies. My son and I swim around and pretend we are treasure hunting the "diamonds" on the pool bottom.
tresw, we still didn't get the Margaritaville mixer out. My husband wants to wait until we get our outdoor kitchen built. I'm glad to know that it makes good margaritas. We got the Fuji model.
Well, now to the bad news...My husband and I took off a half day from work to attend the start-up and pool school. The fellow arrived (an hour and a half late), started up the circulation system, added acid and salt, and then the motor blew up. Well, I don't guess "blew up" is right, but it did burn out. It seems that there was a bunch construction garbage in the skimmers that wasn't cleared out. The motor sucked it in and burned out. The guy could not fix it, so he left and said someone would be here early in the morning. Now, I'll have to take off another day some time soon for pool school. I'm a little bummed out. I guess they will replace the motor. I'm really unfamiliar with this whole process. My husband went out and marked the old motor to make sure they put a new one on. I'm sure something like that could at least reduce the life of the motor even if they got it working again. I bet it is expensive to replace. Anyway, hopefully I'll have better news tomorrow.
|Oh, no! That sounds like something that would happen to me. Surely they'll replace the motor.
That must be super frustrating!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Tue, Jun 17, 08 at 19:37
|Ok, all is well in the world again. They came and put on a new pump and all seems to be working again. The pool looks so clean and clear. No more bugs and spiders floating on top. :P I can't wait until tonight to see it with the lights on. That has been one thing I've really looked forward to. I want to swim at night. Here are some pictures that show the final water color. I really like it.
|Stonesmama, so glad the pump was replaced quickly...really love the color in the pics...it was so hot and muggy here in Rhode Island today oh how nice it would be to stand under one of your waterfalls...enjoy your first night swim!
|It looks really pretty! I'm happy for you!
|Is the pea gravel comfortable to walk on? does it get really hot?
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Wed, Jun 18, 08 at 15:48
|bsaacks, I am a large person and VERY tender footed. At first the pea gravel seemed very uncomfortable to walk on for me (but not my family). But, I discovered that there were still quite a bit of loose gravel and debris from construction. When it was powerwashed, it is a lot nicer to walk on. Yes, it does get pretty hot, but we've been having temperatures over 100 degrees. On 90 degree days, it is still tolerable. I read your post on smbnobles' thread. I can't wait to see pictures of your build. Good luck with everything.
|Your pool turned out pretty. Like the color of the water.

|Hi stonesmama
I love your pool just looking at your pictures is relaxing to me. How well does your Polaris 280 seem to be working? We are getting the same model with our pool and we were kind of curious. Happy Friday

|tracyjohnson1, thanks for the compliment. It's been amazing how relaxing it has been in the pool. We swim every evening and watch the sun go down. We have enjoyed our cleaner we named Bob. The PB set him up to clean for 3 hours a day. He really does a great job. I have to use the brush to sweep off the baja shelf and the benches, but he comes along and vacuums it up off the floor of the pool. The first few days the little bag was very full of PebbleTec pebbles and rock chips from construction. Be sure and empty it every day. It is gross, but the other day we unzipped the bag and there was a dead frog in it. BLAH!!
Good luck with your pool. Can't wait to see pics.

|Another lovely pool with a blue waterline tile. Would you mind posting the manufacturer and name of your tile? I'm having a devil of a time deciding and finding on a tile color. Natural stone or an earthy blue. I can't pick pebble color until tile is selected. I'm heading over to pool builder today to see if he has a sample yet of Blue Lagoon. It's gorgeous!
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Sat, Jun 28, 08 at 23:02
|banana_fanna, the tile is manufactured by Master Tile and it is called Sol Bel Azu 6. Good luck with your decisions. It sure is tough. My contractor is working on my outdoor kitchen and I'm having to make all the decisions about that now. I don't think it will ever end! Can't wait to hear what you decide.
- Posted by stonesmama (My Page) on Mon, May 18, 09 at 23:47
|Here is your example.
|I am new to this, I see the pics you posted are gone. You still happy with the pebbletec selection? could you re-post some so I can see what the color looks like?

Jan. 27 Premarket Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know (Update 1)
Here are 10 things you should know for Monday, Jan. 27:
1.-- U.S. stock futures were rising Monday, helped by an earnings beat from Caterpillar
(CAT) and ahead of this week's Federal Reserve meeting.
European stocks were falling Monday. Asian shares closed sharply lower. Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped 2.5% to close at 15,005.73. The Shanghai Composite Index declined 1%.
2.-- The economic calendar in the U.S. Monday includes new-home sales for December at 10 a.m. EST.
3.-- U.S. stocks on Friday sold off sharply as evidence of a global economic slowdown prompted investors to plough money into safe-haven assets and flee the emerging markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered a triple-digit drop for the second straight day, surrendering 3.52% for the week. That's its biggest weekly loss since May 2012. On Friday, the index fell 1.96%, or 318.24 points, to 15,879.11. The S&P 500 declined 2.09% to 1,790.29, sending the index down 2.63% for the week. The Nasdaq closed 2.15% lower at 4,128.17, down 1.65% for the week.
4.-- IPhone and iPad maker Apple (AAPL) is expected by Wall Street to report fiscal first-quarter earnings after Monday's closing bell of $14.07 a share on revenue of $57.46 billion.
Apple is releasing earnings just as billionaire investor Carl Icahn pressures the company to do something with its cash hoard.
He suggested in an open letter to Apple shareholders that the company should boost its stock repurchase program.
Icahn announced via Twitter last week that he bought another $500 million worth of Apple stock, raising his total to $3.6 billion.
Apple shares were up 0.85% to $550.70 in premarket trading Monday.
AT&T is now restricted from making a takeover bid for Vodafone for six months under U.K. takeover rules, according to The Wall Street Journal.
AT&T rose 0.83% to $33.70 in premarket trading. Vodafone fell 4%.
On its Web site, DeepMind describes itself as a "cutting edge artificial intelligence company. We combine the best techniques from machine learning and systems neuroscience to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms.
Google rose 0.28% in premarket trading to $1,127. 7.-- Caterpillar (CAT) said Monday that fourth-quarter rose from a year earlier when results were weighed down by a large impairment charge.
The board of the world's largest maker of construction and mining equipment also approved a new $10 billion buyback, and provided a 2014 forecast above analysts' estimates. Shares climbed in premarket trading Monday, up 6.2% to $91.54. 8.-- Liberty Global (LBTYA), John Malone's cable company, said Monday will buy the 71.5% of Dutch cable provider Ziggo it doesn't already own for around 10 billion euros ($13.7 billion) in stock and cash.
Liberty Global shares slipped 1.1% to $82.35.

Legal Questions Still Dogging Wyeth
Wyeth says little about hormone-replacement therapy litigation, except to give a tally of trial results and lawsuit filings in its quarterly reports to the SEC. By March 31, Wyeth was defending approximately 5,400 lawsuits affecting 7,900 plaintiffs. Wyeth said it doesn't have a litigation reserve because it cannot estimate the potential liability or know for sure if there is a liability.
Merrill Lynch analyst David Risinger recently told clients that Wyeth hasn't set aside a reserve because its $350 million insurance policy for the drugs hasn't been exhausted.
"When the company has run through that insurance, it will need to expense defense costs," he said in a June 23 report. Risinger, who has a buy rating, doesn't own shares. His firm says it expects to receive or seek investment-banking compensation from Wyeth in the near future.
Wyeth has won 22 of 27 cases thus far by jury verdict, summary judgment or voluntary dismissal by plaintiffs, according its latest SEC filing. All cases involved breast-cancer claims. Of the five losses, two cases were settled and two are being appealed. In one case, a judge ordered a new trial.Legal experts say an early victories by companies in product-liability suits discourage plaintiffs from filing weak cases while encouraging settlements. Merck is the prime exhibit for this strategy. Its fight-every-Vioxx-case approach and its ability to win more than it lost in early rounds led to a November agreement to settle most of the U.S. cases. Merck is paying $4.85 billion into a special fund, and it said it would contest other cases in court.

Hi, I'm working with the Java version of Tidy. Giving, as input of Tidy, HTML files with syntax errors (like non-closed tags, or ">" inside attribute values), makes Tidy generate an error and the abort of creation of the "tidied" file (the output file is empty). Does anyone know how to let Tidy skip syntax errors in HTML code and always generate an output file (without tags that caused errors, for example)? Thanks.

After sustaining a burner Tuesday, New York Giants running back David Wilson is going to visit the doctor that performed his spinal fusion surgery.
Wilson will visit Dr. Frank Cammisa this week.
Wilson is out for at least this week.
That means he won't play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in the annual Hall of Fame game.
It's a serious situation given Wilson's history of neck problems.

Pie Reinvented: 15 New Takes on Pie Around the U.S.
Remember when pie was just pie? Single crust, or double, perhaps with a lattice top. A summer berry filling, pumpkin in fall, or maybe chocolate cream. And should the occasion call for it, a scoop of ice cream. Today, enterprising bakers have taken the building blocks of pie and rearranged them into every possible permutation. Pie lollipops, pie Pop-Tarts, pie in Mason jars weve seen them all. Here are some of the crazy things 20 bakeries do with pie, each more unexpected than the last.
If you're looking for more pie inspiration from the pros, check out America's best pie shops.
Tiny Pies; Austin, TX
This mom-and-daughter dessert catering operation has gained national recognition for its jar pies and pie pops sold online, which are popular for weddings. Fall jar pie flavors include bourbon buttermilk chess, pumpkin pecan with marshmallow topping, and bourbon pecan. The pie pops are some of the most intricate we've seen, carefully molded into fall leaves, Halloween shapes or even Texas Longhorns — fall also means football, after all.

text: HomeTagsComings & GoingsHave Peter Reckell's Contract Negotiations With Days of Our Lives Turned Ugly? Jamey Giddens May 2, 2012 Comings & Goings, Days of Our Lives 37 Comments Looks like it's eff with the vets time again at NBC's Days of Our Lives. Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Peter Reckell (Bo Brady) is "quietly informing castmates that he is leaving the show," following "protracted talks". Didn't Reckell and his leading lady Kristian Alfonso (Hope) take massive pay cuts to the tune of 40-50 percent during their last round of negotiations? This is complete B.S. Bo and Hope are not only my fave DAYS couple, but my favorite soap supercouple of all time. Sony needs to stop trying to shake down all the vets, and actually cut 10-12 of all the vapid nothings walking around their soap sets. Get rid of Bo Brady at your own ratings peril! 37 Responses gato1 May 2, 2012 Jamey—More than Cruz and Eden? Log in to Reply Jamey Giddens May 2, 2012 @Gato! Yep. Bo and Hope have always been my tops. Actually Mason and Julia would probably be No. 2, then Cruz and Eden. Fave stand alone character: Vicky Hudson. Log in to Reply SoapArmageddon May 2, 2012 Few actors are irreplaceable but Peter Reckell is one of them. A recast could not even begin to fill his shoes as Bo Brady. I could not stand RKK in the part years ago. There are a lot of other actors at Days that I would like to see get their walking papers. Jamey, Mac and Rachel. Come on now! Log in to Reply GamecockMom May 2, 2012 Ugh! They should get rid of Drake and Deidre and they will have enough to pay Peter and Kristen. I don't get their love for John and Marlena. They make me sick. And take Carrie with you! Maybe they should cut the characters that suck and cherish the ones who don't. Log in to Reply Carol2 May 2, 2012 Carrie's going. Log in to Reply SoapArmageddon May 2, 2012 Get rid of Drake. Keep Deidre. Log in to Reply cheesehead91182 May 2, 2012 If NBC and Ken Korday really want to save this show they can't let Peter Reckell go. Bo/Hope and John/Marlena are at the core of this show and if anything the need to be building the show around them (meaning bringing back Shawn D and Belle!). Days has a really large cast and there are sooo many others they could get rid of so they could keep their big stars happy. Log in to Reply blake3b May 2, 2012 Days wouldn't be the same without Bo and Hope! And who knows how much longer the show will be around. It's best to keep as many vets as possible and I can think of a lot of newbies that could go instead: Gabi, Melanie, Chad. Log in to Reply Richard May 2, 2012 Bo & Hope are my favorite too! Cruz & Eden, Mason & Julia, Steve & Kayla, why don't they write and cast couples like this anymore? If Bo & Hope leave, I really won't watch the show anymore. I've been watching since I was in third grade, which is when Bo & Hope met. Log in to Reply SoapyBitch May 2, 2012 DC has to do another patented Top 5 or 10 list. The longer the better. Those are the best to listen to on a summer day when choring or at the beach. I love the tangents and asides and remembrance of soap history. Log in to Reply days4ever May 2, 2012 Huge mistake not working this out with Peter. He really is the star of this show. I think they should bring back Shawn and Belle and age Ciara and also bring back JT Reiber as a teen that lost his parents and comes to live with Bope again since he has no other family. Get rid of Rafe and Gabi since they have no ties to the show anymore. Put Nicole, EJ, Brady in a triangle and Lucas and Sami together. Bring Jan Spears back to cause trouble for Belle & Shawn again and hopefully Chloe and Phillip too. Get rid of Melanie and Chad (even though I like both actors) because their characters are boring. They need to act on this stuff and keep the actors and characters that the fans want or the show is doomed. Log in to Reply Ryan-Scott May 2, 2012 Would be a DAMN shame if they let him leave. Log in to Reply angrierblackerman May 2, 2012 I wish they had better storylines for Bo and Hope! I wonder if Bo being in a three month coma has anything to do with said contract negotiations. If it falls through, they could just so a plot where Bo gets beat up, placed in a coma, and wakes up as Robert Kelker Kelly (just kidding, calm down!) Log in to Reply Cornfed May 2, 2012 Good choice at Vicky Hudson, Jamey! Loved all 3 actresses in the role, almost equally, but it all fell apart when Goutman paired Jake and Vicky romantically, that was a no-go for me. RKK did make me forget about Reckell — who was a teenaged fave of mine — I never missed a single day during the first go around of Bo and Billie, and i go way back with this show! Great podcast too, some good rants on there! Log in to Reply pjc722 May 2, 2012 Seriously?! Getting rid of Bo is ridiculous. Get rid of Chad, get rid of Melanie or Gabby. Use that money and keep Bo and Hope and Marlena and John. There is enough cast members to make it an amazing show. Log in to Reply RealityCheck 33 May 2, 2012 Sony has mishandled their negotiations with their soap vets on both DAYS and Y&R. If they don't want to produce these shows anymore, why not sell them to NBC and CBS respectively. It makes no sense to keep on fucking up these shows. Apparently, Eric Braeden's contract is up on Y&R and he's given Sony notice that he'll walk if they treat him like crap again. Les Moonves at CBS had to step in last time to close their deal. Sony's executives apparently like a good fight, but I don't think CBS wants this crap to continue. Look what happened to Melody Thomas Scott's treatment last year. Not good. NBC should take note that this kind of shit doesn't bode well for DAYS. Log in to Reply The_Moustache May 2, 2012 FIRE Drake Hogestyn & Deidre Hall again before you fire Bo! let's be real because I'm keeping it real! John & Marlenas return has been a bust & boring as hell! why they were brought back is beyond ridiculous. their characters are unnecessary and have been for years if not decades! Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 May 2, 2012 I am not a huge DAYS fan, but Peter Reckell is to DAYS what Peter Bergman is to Y&R, or what Tony Geary is to GH. If you want to trim the fat, you need to start at the bottom! Why can't these idiot showrunners realize that? I understand that they recast Bo in the past with Robert Kelker Kelly, and as I understand it, that recast was SOMEWHAT popular? But that doesnt' mean that they need to tempt fate! They need to do whatever they can to keep long-time viewers like Jamey happy!!! Log in to Reply Kristin May 2, 2012 Days is DONE! They refuse to write Bo as anything other than a supporting character for Hope. No wonder he wants out. Bo Brady is the last of the true heroes on an ever shrinking daytime canvas. I will miss him. He makes Hope tolerable for me. I hope his exit includes a trip to find the one woman who always treated him as an equal, saved his life, took care of him, always loved him unconditionally and never tried to set him ablaze — Carly Manning. Log in to Reply jphelps May 2, 2012 Problem is Days spent all this money on actors viewers were supposedly craving to have back and the ratings dropped. You can't argue with numbers. That said, Bo Brady is a tent pole character even more than Hope, Marlena, or John are. And Peter is the best actor out of that group. I wish they'd get rid of Drake and Missy reeves. Marlena doesn't need John, and Bo and Hope while not my fave are a staple and anchor for the show. And soaps need teens and younger characters. This show would not be in the shitter if they actually stuck with some younger cast and stopped relying onnthese played out super couples. Why they ever got rid of Shawn, Belle, Nick and let Chelsea go I have no clue. Log in to Reply The_Moustache May 2, 2012 YEAH, this guy was sooooo worth bringing back! [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsGeLH6rWJA Log in to Reply Si-Si May 2, 2012 DAYS should be built around the supercouples and their adult children. That's what most viewers want. They have too many boring, unnecessary characters clogging up the show that nobody gives a damn about! First they throw away Jack & Jen by firing the great (and wildly popular) Matt Ashford, now they want to do the same to Peter Reckell and Bo & Hope? These people are nuts. Log in to Reply david46208 May 2, 2012 @The_Moustache: They can let Drake go. He brings nothing to the show acting-wise. D. Hall actually is a pretty good actress when she is not in scenes with him. But when you have to play opposite an actor who's only competition for worst actor in the history of daytime Lifetime Achievement Award is Ron Moss, then it pulls her down to the point of being like the Celeste Talbort from Soapdish. I tell you Drake and Ron's bad acting was mocked in that film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEzhAJZkd2Q The point is Peter is worth the money. Drake (in the words of Paul R.) "You're not even worth it." And i'm not sorry to call out a terrible actor. He is not fit for the job. And those of you defend him, you would have loved all those recast on Passions. Log in to Reply Bangel Angle May 3, 2012 Why do we have to get rid of any of the vets?! They're not at fault for killing the show. Why can't we get rid of all the characters who've been sucking the life out of the show for years like James Scott, Galen Gering, Molly Burnett and Shawn Christian. They have been on the most and have consistantly sucked! And get the girl that plays Gabi and all of those newbies they just hired like Ian Buchanan and Lexie's brother. You can trim the cast without getting rid of the vets and tell stories with family drama, love and soap staples. Log in to Reply Cordelia Chase May 3, 2012 This is dumb. Peter Reckell is Bo Brady. RKK was great to look at, but he has Crazy Eyes and clenches his teeth too much. What DAYS needs to do is actually write some worthwhile material. I can't blame the actors when they're given crap to act. Drake Hogestyn is a good actor, as past storylines have proven, but the problem is that he doesn't even know who the hell is character is, and neither do we. Is he Roman, Forrest Alamain, Father John, a DiMera, etc. It just never ends. Lately, all John has been is constipated, and Hogestyn plays that marvelously. Get your check, boy. Deidre Hall is Deidre Hall. Marlena is THE iconic character of this show, and she's related to almost everyone on the scene. Give her a decent storyline to work with. Make Will the centerpiece of the show, push Sami off to the side (WHERE SHE BELONGS), and put Marlena in the kitchen, making some donuts, looking fabulous, championing Will, and telling everyone else about themselves, because someone clearly needs to. Log in to Reply green rider May 3, 2012 If they let Reckell go again, I am done watching this show. He & Hope are 1 of the cornerstone couples on the soap. One character that they need to get rid of as she is adding absolutely nothing to the show & is probably quite expensive is Billie. If they are really stuck on having the character then they should bring in an actress that can actually act & it not as expensive – there are lots of them out there. As for the younger set – you have to have some of them on the show in order to draw in the younger fans. Not saying that I care for all of them but without them the show would surely die. Log in to Reply SoapArmageddon May 3, 2012 I don't understand all the hate being expressed for Dee Hall. IMO, she should have been the only one to return back in September. They could have built the show around an angry Marlena in mourning for poor dead-as-a-doornail John. I guarantee the show wouldn't be in the trouble that it is today. P.S. Wally Kurth recently said that they were doing some re-shooting and a lot of editing of stuff that was already filmed, so we might not have to wait until August to see what direction the new/old regime has in mind for Days. Log in to Reply mlauenstein May 3, 2012 Get rid of Diedre. Keep Drake. Log in to Reply Marie123 May 3, 2012 Keep Deidre and Drake. They are the only reason I watch the show. Time to give other characters a rest that have been on the front burner. Alison Sweeney and James Scott come to mind. The characters of John and Marlena have more ties in Salem, and they really haven't been given much of a storyline at all since they have been back. Would like to see more of them. Log in to Reply angrierblackerman May 3, 2012 Deidre Hall(Marlena) is like the Erica Kane of the show, she should not be let go at ALL. The show should be built around her. She is the only reason why people can tolerate Drake Hogestyn's acting. The show has so many other characters that it can bounce. Gabi, RAFE, Daniel, Chad, Melanie…all the fake shoe-horned in characters that were tacked on to Salem's core families and mostly ruined by Dena Higley. They serve no purpose. There is no Hernandez FAMILY, no matriarch, no patriarch, just two random siblings…they killed off the wrong Hernandez sister if you ask me. In any case, DAYS is likely done now, thanks to all the regime changes and stupid moves by TIIC. I give it another year tops. Log in to Reply TylerandBelle May 3, 2012 What's with all the Drake hate? Oh I see it is the SAME Drake bashers that post on EVERY board, that clip you posted The_Moustache is a dead give-away to who you are. *rolls eyes* He is a wonderful actor, that can say more with facial expression than another actor can say with pages of dialog. Drake is one of the few actors that actually can make DAYS shit filled scripts worth watching and he sells dramatic scenes and emotional scenes with no problem at all. Just because Peter seems to think he is the best thing since sliced bread Drake gets picked on? Personally, I don't care if Peter stays or goes. He left TWICE before and the show went on so anybody saying the show's ratings will tank are wrong since they didn't the last two times he left. Also, Bo being put in a coma didn't affect the ratings either. No actor is bigger than this show and talk like this will cause Peter to have an even more swelled head than he already has IF that is possible. This says PR all over it, Peter isn't getting his way so now he is trying to get his fans to throw their weight around just like James Scott did. I hope it backfires on him and for the record, I liked Robert better as Bo. Log in to Reply Katiebug9624 May 4, 2012 I like the character of Bo and I liked him with Carly. I feel like since he's part of the Bo/Hope supercouple they are a package deal but also his character is never really written for unless it revolves around Hope. I'm not a Hope hater or anything I just wish that the characters could be given storylines instead of the couple given a storyline you know? Log in to Reply lizzyann70 May 5, 2012 This is crazy all the people they can let go the useless people on that set that they can let go to keep Peter Reckel!! They are already letting go of Jack, Carrie, Austin and we have not seen Jen in how long?? Where is all their money go?! Log in to Reply Discsotu004 May 11, 2012 I assume here is how the negotiations went: Days: ok Peter you are no robert Kelker Kelly. You can't wear a leather vest as well as RKK. Therefore we propose paying you $300/week Bo Brady: that's not fair. I'm a great actor. This show is nothing without me and my half-goatee and my flimsy acting. I demand $2000/week Days: (after stopping lauding after maybe 10 minutes) no. You're lucky to get 300. You're worth maybe 300 pesos. What else are you going to do? Garbageman, janitor, fluffer, sandwich board sign holder? Bo Brady: that makes sense actually. I know I'm a horrible actor. Nobody is worse than me except john black, who stinks so bad it's unbelievable. Done deal Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 May 11, 2012 Discsotu004– Welcome to Daytime Confidential. I find your posts to be SOMEWHAT humorous, although I don't think Peter Reckell is a bad actor as you seem to. And I also believe that Peter Reckell makes WAY more than $104,000 a year. He probably made that back in 1984, but he probably makes closer to $500,000 a year now, considering his tenure. Have a great day and happy posting!!! Log in to Reply Discsotu004 May 13, 2012 He's bad there's no way around it. Not drake hogestyn bad but he's bad. Otherwise he would be on a normal show or in movies. If he makes $500k/year then something is wrong with their salary structure. He's wrth maybe 25k/year Log in to Reply Discsotu004 May 13, 2012 Robert kelker Kelly was wayyyyyy better.

Have people lost faith that their hotel-door peephole is protecting their privacy? Could be.
Last week, Hotel Check-In readers discussed, "How to foil a Peeping Tom? Plug up your hotel-door's peephole" as a result of the Erin Andrews hotel stalker case - and now it appears that hotel guests are doing just that.
According to a story today on the celeb tracker site TMZ, guests at the Milwaukee's Ramada Conference Center Hotel have been covering up their door peepholes. Ramada housekeepers have found paper, tissues and Band-Aids attached to peepholes, according to TMZ's story. This specific Ramada is one of the hotels where Andrews was stalked, and she was filmed through a peephole of her room door at the Marriott in Nashville at Vanderbilt University.
Women have been so spooked by Andrews' hotel-stalker experience that even Cosmopolitan - the women's fashion, beauty and sex advice mag - advised readers who travel to "cover the peephole on the interior side of the door with a Band-Aid" if they like to walk around their hotel room in the nude. (See last week's post, "Erin Andrews case prompts female travelers to ask: "What are hotels doing to protect me?")
Many Hotel Check-In readers suggested cheaper alternatives: Cover the peephole with a small piece of masking tape or duck tape, or smear it with toothpaste.
The high-profile hotel stalking case may spook women more than men, but men have also been vocal on the topic. USA TODAY reader KingDavid called hotels out on the issue last week on Hotel Check-In:
"These hotels are cheap. They should take all precautions to make sure that no door peep hole, or any part of the rooms are manipulated in any way. I know if that young lady was my wife or girlfriend i would be upset. Maybe they think about hiring a company to do so. That's a lot cheaper than paying a lawsuit."
Readers: Have you asked a front-desk clerk or housekeeper lately whether their hotel's guestroom-door peepholes have been checked recently?
Are you wondering whether hotel companies are going to start announcing some new peephole procedures or perhaps an install better peepholes? In higher-end hotels overseas, for instance, many hotels feature peepholes that have small metal covers that you slide open to see through the peephole. (Those covers must be there for a reason, right?)
Hoteliers: What are you doing to address travelers concerns over peepholes in today's post-hotel stalker times?

We have a planfor every budget
Companies Mentioned
Vancouver, B.C. / ACCESSWIRE / August 25, 2014 / Following a restructuring of the Board of Directors and senior management, Calico Resources announced today that the Board has established a clear set of corporate objectives and has tied compensation to meeting these objectives.
Speaking on behalf of the Board, non-executive Chairman Rudi Fronk stated: "We expect to accomplish three important goals. First, in the near term, we are moving ahead with a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for our Grassy Mountain Project. We are very confident that the high grade underground scenario we envision can be quantified and shown to be an attractive economic opportunity.
Second, we continue to advance the Grassy Mountain permitting process. We have every reason to believe that an approved Plan of Operation can be obtained from the State of Oregon in the next 18 to 24 months.
Third, we intend to conclude a transaction which unlocks the value of Grassy Mountain for our shareholders. Calico is not a mining company but our technical team is fully capable of moving this project to a point where its value can be optimized either through a sale or joint venture. There is no doubt in our mind that by de-risking the project, we can generate a positive outcome for our shareholders even at current gold prices".
New President and CEO Paul Parisotto confirmed that the Company is now in the process of selecting an engineering firm to undertake the process of completing a PEA. "Our data base is in good shape and we are ready to proceed. We see a PEA being completed before the end of this year."
The Company also announced the grant of 725,000 incentive stock options to directors and consultants of the Company pursuant to its incentive stock option plan. These options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of grant at a price of $0.17 per share.
Of these options, 362,500 vest immediately while the remaining 362,500 will vest upon the earlier of: (1) the sale of the Company; (2) the sale of the Grassy Mountain asset; (3) completion of a joint-venture agreement on Grassy Mountain; or (4) approval of a Plan of Operation by the state of Oregon. Directors had not received option grants since December, 2011. Cash payments to directors have been terminated.
"Our aim is to better align compensation with the interests of shareholders," Fronk said, noting that as the CEO of Calico's largest shareholder, Seabridge Gold, he would not be receiving any compensation from the Company. "I'm here to make this work for shareholders," he said.
On behalf of the Board,
Rudi P. Fronk,
Chairman and Director

iPhone-ready Canary home security breaks $1.25M in funding
A few weeks ago, we highlighted a home-monitoring security system called Canary. The system helps you keep track of your home by monitoring a number of variables, including air quality, vibration, temperature, sound and movement. When something is awry, it will send a detailed alert to your smartphone.
The system also comes with an HD camera with night-vision functionality that allows users to monitor live feeds of their home if they so choose.
Now comes word via MacRumors that Canary has eclipsed the US$100,000 mark it initially sought to generate via Indiegogo. Impressively, Canary recently surpassed the $1.25 million threshold, with MacRumors noting that "the project is on track to become the most successful crowdfunded home product ever."
If all goes according to plan, Canary will begin shipping in May 2014 and will retail for $199.
Below, check out a video of Canary in action.

US companies post most jobs in 7 years in May
U.S. employers advertised more jobs in May than in any month in the past seven years, a sign that this year's strong hiring trend is likely to continue.
More Americans also quit their jobs, a good sign because it usually occurs when workers find new and higher-paying jobs. It also opens up more positions for those out of work.
The Labor Department says that employers posted 4.64 million jobs, a 3.8 percent increase from April's total of 4.46 million. That's the fourth straight strong gain and is the highest number since June 2007.
Hiring slipped in May, to 4.72 million from 4.77 million in the previous month. Still, it has risen 4.5 percent since January after being flat in the previous six months.

The best Kitefoilers of the world from 15 nations traveled up to the Engadin for the second stop of the Kitefoil Goldcup world tour.
The event takes place on beautiful lake Silvaplana, St Moritz, a mecca for skiers in winter and at 1,800 meters above sea level, a stunning crystal clear blue lake that attracts world class sailing and windsurfing events and now kites.
All eyes were on to the top kite foilers who turned up to contend for the Swiss title, plus hard earned world tour points. In the course racing discipline, the World and European Champions put in two days of intense racing to bring them to today's finale.
Foiling is a huge trend in watersports right now, from surfing to windsurfing to sailing at the big money America's Cup level.
Taking drag resistance to the bare minimum makes for warp speeds, but the long hi tech fins on the kiteboards require incredible skill to control – you're literally flying on a knife edge. It's the fastest way to kite and it's attracting some of the top riders right now.
After rain and no wind yesterday the skies cleared and it started to look promising for some decent competition today. But first the direction had to turn from the south-west to be able to set a course.
Unfortunately the wind didn't switch around, so the race committee had to pull the plug. The previous results stick which makes Jonny Heineken winner of this second stop of the Kite Foil Gold Cup across three continents.
At the closing ceremony, the winners received their trophies with some of them already packed up and good to go to the Kite Course racing worlds in Turkey next week.
