If you're in the Northwest and you're looking to rent surfboards, wetsuits, or other surf gear, knowing if it is the right time to go is important. Surf conditions can change quickly, however using an online surf forecasting site you can be fairly certain if conditions are going to be good for renting. Learning how to read a surf forecast isn't difficult, but many surf report sites don't explain how to interpret the information provided. All surf forecasting sites give you the same information. Wind speed and direction, swell direction, swell height, and swell period. The most misunderstood part tends to be the swell period. This is the part that follows the swell height and is measured in seconds.
Example: 6ft at 10 seconds.
The swells period is the part that reads "at 10 seconds". This means that there is 10 seconds on average in between waves. A long period (or interval) means the waves are traveling faster, which means they have more power, and will become larger when they reach the shore than waves the same height but with a shorter period. This means that the example swell above could end up breaking and be 7 ft tall, while if the period was at 20 seconds it could break and become 10 ft tall with a lot more power behind it.
The most important thing to consider is if the waves are going to be too big. Too big will vary for people of different experience levels, but generally if you are just starting out at surfing look for a day with a swell of 3-4ft to be safe. There really aren't any deal breakers after knowing the size of the swell, but there are things to look for that are more ideal than others. For instance the wind plays a large role in surf conditions. For beginners little or no wind is the best bet. It's just one less factor to deal with. If it's windy it can be harder to get into waves, harder to balance when standing up, there can be more chop on the water, and you can get spray in your face making it harder to see. If there is wind, the best wind is offshore wind(East wind in Oregon), this will hold up the waves longer, giving you a bigger window to get into them.
Lastly the swell direction can affect how much the swell is going to reach certain beaches. Open beaches will pick up every swell direction, but beaches that are protected by a cape, or outcrops of rocks will block swell from certain directions. Take Oswald West State Park for instance. The beach faces slightly south, and is protected by rocks to the north and south. The swell that is going to show up the largest at this beach is a SW swell, and a NW will show the weakest.

I've made my introductions before, but wanted to just pop in and say Hi from Texas! I think I'm going to be spending a lot more time here and wanted to get re-acquainted with the board.
My name is Val. I live in Central Texas with my 2 children and wonderful DH. My kiddos are 2.5 and almost 5 years old. He's got a late birthday so no, I'm not sending him to kindergarten yet ;) Oh yeah! I mustn't forget Zoe, our Calico cat. She's almost 14 years old.
I've been digiscrapping for close to 3 years now. Recently I took the jump and gave away a majority of my paper scrap supplies.
See you around the boards. I'm going to go check out some of the challenges and see if I can find something fun to do.

To help chemical scientists make a difference:
- we provide health, safety, and environmental guidance for those working with chemicals or managing chemistry laboratories
- we produce research on key issues, to inform the community and to advise policymakers
- we campaign for better government support for science and chemistry
We also provide direct support to researchers, including resources and tools, conferences and networking events, and grants and bursaries.
Campaign for government science support
Science is crucial for the UK's economic growth and job creation. We punch above our weight internationally – however we are in danger of falling behind.
Government and industry only invest 1.7% of GDP on research and development, which is far behind competitors such as the USA and Germany, who invest 2.8% and 2.9% respectively.
We are campaigning to increase science spending in the UK so we can remain competitive, and it is crucial that politicians are aware of the importance of science to the economy.
If you live in the UK, you can write to your local MP expressing your support for our campaign.
Alternatively, download our campaign briefing, which you can give to your MP.

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 8, 2014 — In recognition of its efforts to create a healthy, high-performing work environment, the University of Southern California received the American Psychological Association's 2014 Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on March 8. USC was one of only four employers from across North America to receive the award this year, winning in the government/military/educational institution category.
"Forward-thinking employers such as the University of Southern California are going beyond the typical wellness program to focus on a broader view of well-being," says David W. Ballard, PsyD, MBA, head of APA's Center for Organizational Excellence. "When an employer is truly committed to helping employees thrive, psychologically healthy workplace principles become ingrained in the very norms, values and beliefs that are part of the organization's culture. In turn, this helps employees perform at their best, on and off the job."

Indiana Academic Standards
• Indiana Academic Standards Regional Training: Resource Hub
Driven by information, powered by knowledge, and energized by technology, our world is changing quickly. In order for students to make reasoned decisions about their lives and contribute to their family, community, and nation, they need more skills and knowledge than ever before. To meet these challenges, Indiana has established and continues to maintain world-class academic standards. The standards clearly outline what students should know and be able to do for each content/subject area and grade level or grade band. In April of 2014, the Indiana State Board of Education approved the adoption of new standards for English/Language Arts and Mathematics. These new standards are the result of a process designed to identify, evaluate, synthesize, and create high-quality, rigorous standards for Indiana students. They have been validated as college and career ready by the Indiana Education Roundtable, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, the Indiana Department of Education, the Indiana State Board of Education, and the Indiana Center for Education and Career Innovation. This means that students who successfully master these objectives for what they should know and be able to do in Math and English/Language Arts disciplines by the time they graduate from high school will be ready to go directly into the workplace or a postsecondary educational opportunity without the need of remediation.

Updated: December 10, 2012 6:11AM
The Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra begins a new era on Nov. 10-11.
For the first time in a quarter of a century the Southland's largest arts organization will open a season with a new music director.
David Danzmayr survived an elite group of seven finalists from an initial field of 165 applicants to succeed Carmon DeLeone as IPO conductor.
DeLeone retired after 25 years and Danzmayr was named to the post in June.
"David ultimately was the IPO search committee's unanimous choice, not only because of his musical ability but for organizational issues and leadership philosophy," said Charles Amenta, a past IPO president and committee member.
A Salzburg, Austria, resident, Danzmayr has been an up-and-coming international conductor with guest appearances in America, South America, Africa and Asia as well as Europe.
He interrupted his busy work in Europe to audition with the IPO in January.
Danzmayr dazzled the IPO board and a Southland audience with an all-Felix Mendelssohn concert.
After being named the new music director, he conducted an IPO open house at Ravisloe Country Club in Homewood in August.
"It went really well," Danzmayr said. "We had a lot of people there — 450, I think — and now I'm excited and very happy to be starting the season."
He will conduct the 35th season-opening concerts on Nov. 10-11 at the Lincoln-Way Performing Arts Center in Frankfort.
"I've had to finish up a lot of European projects," Danzmayr said. "But I think the audience will be pleased with this program."
Even though the new director was not announced in May, the IPO presented season subscribers a tentative 2012-13 schedule.
With his limited time, Danzmayr said he will try to stick to some of those programs but he has made several revisions.
For example, the concerts set for Nov. 10-11 will be totally new.
"I want to play some American pieces (during the season)," he said, "so I will open with 'The Incredible Flutist' by Walter Piston."
The IPO's Cindy Fudala will perform the flute solo.
"It's not huge solo part," Fudala said. "It comes in the middle of the piece, but I am honored to open the program."
Piston (1894-1976) was a professor at Harvard University. His students, who later became renowned composers including Leroy Anderson, Leonard Bernstein and Elliott Carter.
Fudala, of Forest Park, has been with the IPO 16 years and also is a music professor at Valparaiso University in Indiana and Concordia University Chicago.
She is among several IPO members who met their future spouses while playing in the orchestra. Greg Fudala plays the trumpet.
"This season is going to be a lot of fun," she said. "Danzmayr brings excitement and vitality to the orchestra."
Danzmayr's debut program then switches to international pieces, highlighted by the appearance of acclaimed guitar soloist Ana Vidovic.
The Croatia native, who has been a U.S. resident since 2003, appeared with the IPO in 2004 and has won numerous prizes and international competitions.
She and the IPO will perform Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez," a beautiful work inspired by the gardens at Palacio Real de Aranjuez, the royal residence in Madrid, Spain.
The Washington Post has called the 32-year-old Vidovic an "exceptionally gifted and interesting musician."
Finally, Danzmayr will conduct Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's powerful "Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Opus 64."
This passionately emotional Romantic symphony, first conducted in 1888, features memorable melodies and a triumphant march.
"It's one of my favorite pieces," Danzmayr said.
Amenta said he is looking forward to this opening concert because "in my imagination, I can see David as an international star in 10 years, but returning to his IPO launching pad throughout the years.
"Welcome maestro Danzmayr. It was a long journey to get here but now the real adventure starts."
Don Snider is a local freelance writer.
David Danzmayr has had to make a lot of quick decisions since being named the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra's new music director in June.
These decisions included where to live and what program to conduct for his opening concert, as well as for his entire first season.
"I've also had a lot of European projects to finish up," the Austria native said. "I plan to move to the U.S. and I hope to have it all decided in the next month."
Meanwhile, the IPO board of directors provided Danzmayr with an outline for the 2012-13 season. He already has tweaked it a bit.
Here is the revised IPO schedule, with all concerts set for the Lincoln-Way North Performing Arts Center, 19900 S. Harlem Ave., Frankfort, except where otherwise noted:

A sport sedan on stilts gains a mild refresh.
Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 6/7/2013
Acura treated the 2013 ZDX to a mild cosmetic freshening, but the segment-blurring crossover still looks much as it did when it debuted for 2011. Acura has also slimmed down the range to a single variant, which it dubs a "value-added package."
Acura openly admits that the 2013 ZDX is a niche vehicle, but three years after its debut, we're still trying to figure out exactly what that niche is. The ZDX shares its platform and powertrain with the more traditional MDX but wraps them in a rakish, coupe-like body that receives some minor tweaks for the 2013 model year. Many of those cues, including the steeply pitched roof, hidden rear door handles, and panoramic sunroof, lend it the character of a sport sedan—fitting, perhaps, as the big 4400-pound ZDX manages somehow to drive like one. The Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) tosses in adaptive dampers and a surprisingly stiff sport setting that helps iron out a fair amount of body roll in corners. Sadly, no amount of technology helps offset the shortcomings of the ZDX's vanity. A tall floor and a low roof force all passengers to surrender headroom, and the tumblehome over the cargo area means there's but a meager (for a crossover) 26.3 cubic feet of space. Buyers who aren't quite ready to put form before function can always try on the MDX for size—it offers many of the ZDX's attributes but with much more interior space and versatility.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; and traction and stability control are standard. Rear parking sensors and a rearview camera are lumped into the technology package. Blind-spot detection, radar-based cruise control, and a collision-mitigating automatic braking system are included with the advance package.

Leon Kozlowski
Volunteer Spotlight: Leon Kozlowski
Leon Kozlowski set a personal goal this summer to volunteer for 100 hours with TreePeople. As if that wasn't enough, Leon decided to travel to TreePeople's expansive sites through Los Angeles County solely by bicycle! He called it his 100 hours, 1000 miles challenge, and after a long summer, Leon met his goal last weekend. So, we decided to sit down with Leon to talk about his journey.
TreePeople: First of all, Congratulations on meeting your goal, Leon! You are definitely going to inspire others to follow in your footsteps. What got you started with this idea of bicycling for 1000 miles and volunteering for 100 hours all in one summer?
Leon Kozlowski: I have no idea what gave me the idea - I just started. I started riding my bike in 7th grade when I was forced to ride my bike to school. I felt like giving back to society this year.
TP: Did you do anything special to prepare for hours upon hours of biking this summer? Did you start a workout program first, or did you just go for it?
LK: My workout program was just randomly going to Simi Valley and a bunch of different places and then just going home.
TP: Did the biking get easier over time?
LK: Well, going up the hills got definitely a lot easier after countless times of going to TreePeople.
TP: You were timing yourself, right? What was your record [from Ventura Blvd. & Coldwater Canyon], to TreePeople?
LK: My record was 10 minutes.
TP: So, let's talk a little bit about your volunteering side of your goal. You spent 100 hours volunteering, tell people a little bit about the kinds of things you did with that 100 hours of volunteering.
LK: In the 100 hours, I've learned how fun life can be without the internet (laughs); that there is a lot of work to do in the offices and in the nursery and it's really fun with a great atmosphere. Out in the field with street tree care and mountain restoration you learn a lot about gardening. You learn about which species are good for [our area], which are bad, which don't belong here, and how to fix plants.
TP: So, you did the offices, nursery, mountain restoration and tree care. Did you have a favorite?
LK: My favorite, possibly, is mountain restoration because I get the most miles from it and its really fun running around with buckets and getting splashed!
TP: Nice. Did you have any favorite moments volunteering?
LK: Well, my very first time volunteering I felt a little out of place because I didn't know anyone. But then about 5 minutes later I was talking to everyone and I really loved it.
TP: You finished your goal last Saturday. I was talking to our Mountain Restoration Manager, Brian Rekart and he told me that you met your 1,000 mile goal bicyling from Northridge to an event that day in Topanga. So, after working in the hot mountains for three hours, Brian offered you a ride out of the canyon, up the hill...and you took it. How did it feel to ride in a car again?
LK: The air-conditioning felt great!
TreePeople thanks Leon for his endurance and commitment as a volunteer! Leon serves as a model for how one person can help make Los Angeles a healthier, more vibrant place to be.

HP Pavilion 14-c025us Chromebook support
This document applies to all HP computers.
An HP recovery solution can be used to return a computer's software configuration to its original condition. HP provides a recovery solution on the hard drive, but it is still a good idea to have a recovery solution on a USB storage device or discs. A disc or USB device can be stored in a safe place and used in the event of a hard drive failure, a hard drive format, or in the event you change the operating system. Use the sections in this document to obtain a recovery solution that works best for you.
NOTE:HP computers designed for commercial use, such as Workstations or Pro series, use "Operating System" or "HP Restore Plus" DVDs. To order these types of discs, go to
the HP Replacement Part Store
Recovering your computer without an HP recovery kit
You may not need recovery discs or a USB recovery solution from HP to recover the software on your computer. HP provides a recovery solution on a separate area of the hard drive. If the hard drive is still functional, you can still perform an HP system recovery from the hard drive as long as the recovery information has not been destroyed or corrupted.
To do a software recovery from the hard drive, turn on the computer and repeatedly press the F11 key until "Windows is loading files..." displays on the screen. If your computer originally came with Windows XP or earlier, press F10 to enter recovery instead of F11.
Creating recovery discs or USB storage device solution
Did you know that HP retail computers can create a set of recovery discs or can install a recovery solution to an external USB storage device?
The advantages to creating a recovery solution from your computer are: they are less costly than ordering, can be created faster than the time it takes to have them shipped, and the discs you create usually recover software faster than other types of recovery discs for your computer. However, due to software licensing, only one set of recovery discs can be created.
If your computer can open Windows, use HP Recovery Media Creator software from the Windows Start menu to create one set of recovery discs. For more information on how to burn your own set of recovery discs, see
Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive
Ordering a recovery kit from HP in the United States and Canada
If you cannot create a recovery solution, you might be able to order a recovery kit from HP - either on discs or a USB device. HP maintains an inventory of replacement kits for several years after the product has been released. However, because of software licensing restrictions, HP is only able to provide recovery kits for a limited time.
If you are in the United States or Canada, use the following steps to order a recovery kit if one is available:
- Find the serial number for your computer and write the number down on a piece of paper. The serial number is located on a service tag label adhered the case of the computer. For some notebook models sold in 2010 or later, you need to remove the battery or open an access hatch on the bottom of the notebook to see the service tag.Figure 1: An example of a service tag (the tag on your computer may look different)
- Write down any model numbers and product names listed on the service tag. Use these names to determine the exact model name (not series) of your computer.CAUTION:It is very important that you know the computer's exact model number/product name - not the series name that is often printed directly on the product's exterior. If you use the series name to order discs, the discs probably will not work. For example, there are several models of G62 notebook computers, but only one model G62-149WM. To learn more about how to find model numbers for HP products, see HP Guide to finding your product number .
- Open a web browser and go to the www.hp.com home page, and then click the Support & Drivers link at the top of the page to display the Support & Drivers page.
- From the Support page, select Drivers & Software.
- Enter the product number or complete product name of your computer in the Enter a product name/number field, and then click Search.
- If you are presented with a list of several links to product support sites, click the link that matches your computer's model number.
- A Software & Driver Downloads page opens. Make sure that the model number listed at the top of the page on the product's support site matches the model number/product name of your computer. If the model number does not match, double-check the product name/number on the service tag, and search the HP Web site again.
- On the Drivers page for your computer, use the drop-down menu to select the original operating system that came with your computer, and then click Next.
- On the list of downloads, click Order Recovery Media, and then click the link to the Windows recovery kit to open an ordering page.NOTE:The ordering pages use a secure connection to protect your privacy.NOTE: If you cannot find an "Order Recovery Media" section, select another operating system from the drop down list until you find a "Order Recovery Media" section or you determine that a Recovery Media section does not exist in any of the operating system selections. If you cannot find a Recovery Media section for your computer model, HP does not have a recovery kit available.
- On the order summary page, enter the required Serial number, and then click Next.NOTE: If an error page opens stating that HP was unable to find the page you wanted, use another Internet browser, such as Firefox, to order your software from HP. The ordering process is known not to work under certain configurations of Internet Explorer.
- Enter a 5-digit Zip code and click Next.
- Select a Shipping method from the options provided, and then click Next.
- Complete the shipping address form, and then click Next. The information on this form should match the address for your credit card.
- If the billing address is the same as the shipping address, select Use my shipping address, and then click Next.If the billing address is different from the shipping address, select Use a different address, click Next, complete the billing address form, and then click Next.
- Enter your payment information, including a credit card number and credit card verification number, and then click Submit.
- Confirm your order information to complete the transaction.
Finding recovery discs or a USB device from other Web sites
If HP no longer provides recovery kits for your model of computer and a recovery kit cannot be created, you might find a solution outside of HP.
NOTE:Try all of the other options in this support document before attempting to order a recovery kit from outside HP.
Popular online auction sites and computer part suppliers might have an original HP recovery kit (discs or a USB device) in stock. However, be careful and understand the risks when purchasing recovery discs from any source outside of HP. Beware of sites that offer recovery solutions when they are not affiliated with HP. Check the identification label on your computer to make sure that that recovery solution will work with your exact product/model number of PC before making your purchase. On some Notebooks, this may be in the battery compartment or etched in the case.
Contacting support for recovery discs
If you cannot order a recovery disc set from HP or you cannot create a usable set from your computer, contact
HP Customer Care
. HP Customer Care may be able to send out new discs or replace defective versions depending on your situation and availability.

It's time to meet your new DJ obsession. His name is Michael Brun, and he's about to fully take over the festival circuit. For those of you who know him, you're already aware of his major hotness and his cool mixes. If you don't, it's only a matter of seconds before you dedicate an 8tracks playlist solely to this dude.
Michael performed at Coachella this year for the first time and closed the Sahara tent (a huge deal in festival world), and rocked out at Ultra, too. But his crush-worthy status comes from more than just his good looks and awesome DJ-ing skills. Dude's got guts! He left his home and his family in Haiti to go to boarding school in Indiana at 16 (which isn't a common thing to do there), and totally killed it. Michael earned nearly a full scholarship to Davidson college, where he went on to study pre-med right after graduating high school.
Now, he's 21 and taking time off from school to pursue music, but that doesn't mean his dreams of becoming a doctor are over for good.
"When I was in Haiti, I volunteered at a hospital for two years, and the guy who founded it was a priest first and then went to medical school in his 30's and became a doctor," Michael explained. "The way that he lived his life made me realize that if you have the drive to do something, no matter how old you are, you can get it done."
Drive is def not something Michael's missing. He's been working hard on his music over the last six months, so get excited, because there's about to be a ton of his stuff dropping. Plus, he's getting ready to tour the world, making stops in the US and even joining Steve Aoiki for part of the time. #Casual
What's even cuter? His sweetness. His favorite moment so far was playing a show in Haiti that his family got to come to. "It was awesome because it was like the journey was coming full circle," Michael said.
Okay, and not that you need any more convincing, but he's also BFFs with TFIOS and Divergent star, Ansel Elgort! "I've known him for a long time," Michael shared. "He's starting to put out music too as Ansolo, and I'm trying to push his stuff as much as possible. So many guys in the industry are really cool. It's great to be friends with people like that."
Cute, smart, talented, and a really good friend? Does it get any better? Check out Michael's killer beats just in time for the weekend!
What do you think of our crush of the week? Which celebs are you obsessed with right now? Tell us in the comments below!

The Cubs and City Hall expect to nail down a $500 million deal by Monday's home opener that will allow the team to renovate 99-year-old Wrigley Field and develop property around the stadium by putting up "at least two" new signs inside the ballpark — including a video scoreboard in left field — and building a 300-space parking garage.
One day after local Ald. Tom Tunney (44th) portrayed an agreement on all of the "moving parts" as nowhere in sight, two sources close to the marathon negotiations predicted an agreement by Monday that would allow rooftop clubs to continue operating for the 11-year "duration" of their revenue-sharing agreement with the Cubs.
Sources said "a couple" of rooftops would be "minimally" impacted by the decision to locate a jumbotron in left field and at least one more sign in right. But, the sources said negotiators are still working on ways to "soften" the impact. The size of the video scoreboard has not yet been finalized.
The source refused to reveal specifics,but said there would be no extension of the agreement signed by the Tribune Co. that requires the rooftops to share 17 percent of their revenues with the team.
City Hall sources said Mayor Rahm Emanuel also is prepared to lift the 30-game-per-season ceiling on the number of night games to "40 or more" night games and add even more dates for concerts. Six to 10 3:05 p.m. starts could also be part of the mix.
To appease Wrigleyville residents, sources said the Cubs are prepared to foot the bill for more police protection to control game-day crowds and build a new, 300-space parking garage on the gravel cemetery lot the team owns at Clark and Grace.
Tunney has demanded that the Cubs replace the 400 spaces that were supposed to be part of a "triangle building" adjacent to the ballpark that the team has now scrapped in favor of an open-air plaza.
Earlier this week, Tunney raised the prospect of a new parking garage on the cemetery lot and free remote parking.
"Wrigley Field has about 1,400 spaces, which is like the least of any baseball team in America — by far. . . . Boston has 4,500. Same congested neighborhood. So, we've got work to do. … You wonder why the neighbors are concerned about parking, traffic and congestion," he said.
Noting that the gravel cemetery lot at Clark and Grace is "as big as the stadium," he said, "Can they build [a garage] on that? There's land [but] building is expensive. . . . They're exploring all their options — a combination of certain additions in the community and a more robust remote parking plan."
Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts has offered to bankroll a $300 million Wrigley renovation without a public subsidy — and build a $200 million hotel development on the former McDonald's property he purchased across the street from the stadium — if the city agrees to lift restrictions on outfield signs and night games and opens Sheffield Avenue for street fairs on game days.
With Tunney's support, rooftop clubs that cash in on their bird's-eye view of Wrigley have countered with a plan to generate $17.9 million-a-year to bankroll the stadium renovation by putting seven digital signs on top of their buildings instead of inside the ballpark blocking their views.
Emanuel has been trying to broker a deal that would allow the rooftops to survive and thrive and still give the Cubs the sign revenue they need to renovate the landmark stadium.
An agreement by opening day that eluded his predecessor would allow Emanuel to score a huge victory and keep the Cubs in Chicago and preserve Wrigley Field for another generation of baseball fans.
It would also allow the mayor to claim at least partial credit for a $500 million project that, the Cubs have maintained, would generate 1,200 permanent jobs, 800 construction jobs and $20 million-a-year in new tax revenue for the city and state.
