172.14 ENGINEERING STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS Engineering standards and requirements, including but not limited to streets, drainage, access, easements, and thoroughfare improvements, shall be those currently approved by the Marion County Department of Public Works.
172.16 DEDICATION OR DEEDING OF ROADWAY No person shall dedicate for public use, or deed to Marion County, a parcel of land which is used or proposed to be used as a roadway without first obtaining the approval of the Board and delivering the deed to the Board for its endorsement. No dedication is effective unless the property is accepted by the Board and recorded with the Marion County Clerk's Office.
172.18 DEAD-END STREETS When it appears necessary to continue streets to an adjacent acreage, the streets shall be platted to the boundary or property line of the proposed subdivision without a turnaround. In all other cases, dead-end streets shall have a turnaround with a configuration approved by the Marion County Department of Public Works.
172.20 RADIUS AT STREET INTERSECTIONS The property line radius at street intersections shall be to the Marion County Public Works Department's standards.
172.22 STREET GRADES No street grade shall be in excess of 12% unless the Commission or Hearings Officer finds that, because of topographic conditions, a steeper grade is necessary.

172.26 ADDITIONAL RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTHS Where topographical requirements necessitate either cuts or fills for the proper grading of the streets, additional right-of-way may be required to be dedicated to allow all cut and fill slopes to be within the right-of-way.
172.28 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Whenever adequate assurances of performance are required as a condition of approval of any subdivision under
this ordinance, the applicant shall provide one of the following:
(a) A surety bond executed by a surety company authorized to transact business in the State of Oregon, in an amount equal to 100 percent of the construction cost of the required improvements, as verified by the County.
(b) A verified deposit with a responsible escrow agent or trust company of cash or negotiable bonds in an amount equal to 100 percent of the construction costs of the required improvements, together with an agreement that the deposit may be disbursed only upon County approval. The agreement shall include a provision that the County shall allow release of the deposit in such amounts and at such times as a corresponding proportion of the required improvements are completed to the satisfaction of the County Engineer following an inspection by the County Engineer or the Engineer's authorized representative.
(c) An irrevocable letter of credit from one or more financial or lending institutions pledging that funds equal to 100 percent of the construction cost of all required improvements are available to the applicant and are guaranteed for payment for the improvements.
Regardless of the option chosen above, no building permits for any structures within the subdivision will be issued until all improvements have been completed by the applicant. In the event the applicant fails to complete all improvements, the County may estimate the cost of completing any required improvement, call on the bond or deposit for the funds necessary to complete the improvement, and complete the improvement to the extent of the funds obtained upon call of the bond or deposit. If the amount obtained from the bond or deposit is insufficient to complete the improvement, the County may either hold the collected funds until additional funds are authorized for the improvement or expend the collected funds on a revised improvement or on a portion of the improvement as determined reasonable by the Director of Public Works. Following final inspection, if the improvement is complete and the amount of the bond or deposit exceeds the actual cost to the County of completing the improvement, the remainder shall be released.
The applicant shall provide a maintenance bond in a form approved by the Office of Legal Counsel equal to 40 percent of the construction cost of all required improvements. The applicant shall provide the bond within 30 days after final review of the required improvements. The bond shall remain in effect for one year after the completion of construction of all required improvements. The purpose of the bond is to guarantee applicant's obligation to maintain all required improvements for a period of one year after completion of construction of all required improvements. After the expiration of the one year period, any remaining balance on the bond shall be released. The bond shall include a provision stating that, in the event the County must take legal action to recover on this bond, and it prevails at trial or on appeal, the County shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and its costs and disbursements. Nonpayment of the bond will not invalidate applicant's obligations under the bond.
172.30 UTILITY EASEMENTS Utility easements meeting the approval of the Marion County Department of Public Works shall be provided to all newly created lots.
172.32 STREET OR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS All street or road improvements including pavement, curbs, sidewalks, signage, and surface drainage shall be in accordance with the specifications and standards prescribed by the Director of Public Works.

172.40 SEWAGE DISPOSAL. All lots or parcels shall be served by an authorized sewage disposal system. Subsurface sewage disposal for individual parcels shall meet the requirements of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Marion County Building Inspection Division. Those subsurface sewage systems that are used by a community, sanitary district, industry, or incorporated area must be authorized by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) via the Marion County Building Inspection Division. Installation and maintenance shall be in accordance with the Department of Environmental Quality's regulations and requirements. The Commission, Director, or Hearings Office may require connection to an existing sewage collection and treatment system regardless of lot suitability for subsurface disposal if the Commission, Director, or Hearings Officer deems it necessary and provided the connection is available.
172.42 WATER SUPPLY All lots or parcels shall be served by an authorized public or private water supply system or individual private wells.

It's not that 60Hz isn't fast enough, since this is Passive 3D 60Hz is OK as each eye 540 vertical lines are painted every other frame odd & even and the human eye pieces it back together unlike active which has to have at least 120Hz bc it paints both right & left eyes simultaneously.
The problem is that LG LIED and said these sets were 120Hz capable when they aren't!
This is a NEW PROBLEM industry wide, the problem started appearing this year in the big brands. For LG the 120Hz Tru-motion panels like my LD550 from a couple years back, with Tru-motion anti-judder off the panel refreshes @ 60Hz. Tru-motion was explained as a feature that you turned on to enable 120Hz. That wasn't hidden or un-disclosed. The panel operates at 60Hz unless or until you enable the tru-motion. The PROBLEM is read below what HDGuru found.
...Unfortunately, the G2 for whether it's seems to also be FALSELY listed as a 120Hz Tru-motion TV that is NOT capable of 120Hz.
Too bad they didn't throw the Google TV apps into the 7600.
BUT THAT'S not what happened to several models of LG & other makers this year.
HDGuru calls out the LG 6700 for advertising 120Hz true Motion when the SET is physically incapable of doing 120Hz. Then when they called LG out on it being only 60Hz LG gave a blow-off response and then eventually released a firmware "update" that created an anti-judder setting however, it did not enable 120Hz it was more of the lie cover-up-smoke-&-Mirrors B.S. That's not a mislabeling, or the end user not understanding what/how anti-judder implementation operates, prior to this year on some specific models that is.
But that's not why people are jumping on LG and other makers this year.

This is "simulated" as they use a 60hz panel with a scanning backlight to create 120hz or 240hz effect...Panasonic and Toshiba do the same thing
Where as Sony and Samsung have a tru 120hz( or 240hz) panel that is actually overlaying multiple frames
Depending on your taste..you could say the simulated is as good as the actual...??
However the fact remains it is simulated.....and I might assume that the simulated is cheaper to produce
#1 this is not an LG only problem, it's a Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Panasonic, Vizio... problem: http://hdguru.com/beware-of-phony...ates/7726/
People often quite incorrectly have a this brand is better than that brand bias when each model & each technology, frankly each set needs to weighed against the others. Their is nothing inferior or "cheap" about LGs top of the line TVs compared to Samsung, Panasonic, or Sony and many of their middle lines just like other makers offer good bang for the buck to average users. All TV makers all have hits & misses and good models/lines\tiers and bad ones. Comparing a middle level from one brand and implying it's a fair comparison to higher level in a competing brand is skewing things to fit a predetermined narrative.
However, in this case LG tried to pull the wool over customer's eyes by attempting to say a few models had tru-motion when they didn't and to "compensate" they figured they could try and pass off the black frame insertion as essential the same thing' when it's not.
BAD LG for the models it tried to get away with this on in 2012.
#2 Up until this year LG has no TVs that say 120Hz that don't deliver True 120Hz Output, my LD550 does a great job with it. It's got it uses especially fun in games, but it often gives me a queasy feeling on content that produces the S.O.E.
"Where as Sony and Samsung have a tru 120hz( or 240hz) panel that is actually overlaying multiple frames"
#3 "This is "simulated" as they use a 60hz panel with a scanning backlight to create 120hz or 240hz effect...Panasonic and Toshiba do the same thing"
That's incorrect. They cannot "simulate" 120Hz ...or 240Hz by attempting (in many cases incorrectly because of the limitations on Lower - middle end TVs with edge lit LED arrays) to actually have a 'black frame insertion.' This is actually a proven technique, or optical trick to help arrest blur that LCD panels can/suffer from. However for arguments sake even if they could do this correctly, it does nothing to change the output from 60Hz, and that's where LG went wrong - well that plus the attempt to cover & shut up people by adding in firmware an anti-judder option that is useless - because again the panel is stuck at 60Hz not way around it.
I want to be clear this is not by any means all LG LCD models, nor is it all Sony or all Samsung models that are making dubious claims based with numbers & data that consumers know as buzz words 120, 240...by now giving them new made up jargon terms, when people were used to FPS, or Refresh Rate/Hz.
And yes, they did this because you are quite correct it is cheaper to eliminate the circuit called Motion Estimation/Motion Compensation needed to accomplish the interpolated frames taking 24FPs or 30FPS to 120Hz output.

If U can't understand how GLOBAL WARMING could be true & we aren't yet seeing higher temps. Search the TERM GLOBAL DIMMING. Part of the suns energy being reflected back into space. WATCH THE PBS Nova VIDEO DIMMING SUN, we R in trouble!
I would not classify this as a problem..if you like the picture its not an issue
Its just a misstatement by LG
While my Samsung B8000 advertised a 240 hz panel...and it is a true 240hz panel
as I said before Sony and Samsung are the only the only manufacturers with a true 240hz panel
Now...that CMR that they use now is BS
I am more focused on the amount of frames the panel actually can insert to interpolate motion
Not how they can "simulate" lighting and make a simulated effect
and to be clear...i have never thought LG did nearly as good of a job as Sony and samsung with motion interpolation
They were late to the party offering it..by two years...and then it took them another year before they offered separate blur and dejudder adjustment
The LE8500 I have is a good TV...not nearly the TV as the Sony XBR was of the same time frame...but it was 50% of the price of the Sony as well
I dont think the top of the line LG's have every competed with the best
They have been well priced and a good value..but never quite as good
people raved about the LH90, LE8500 and LX9500 full array...but they always had flaws and not up to the level of the Samsung 8500 and Sony XBR full array LED's of the same period...and not nearly as expensive either
On the plasma side....they have never been able to compete in black level or color( with models like the 950 and 9700) with the best from Pioneer( to start) and then after that the 8000 series from samsung or the VT from Panasonic
and again..not nearly as expensive either

Installing the Observing Tool
Version of the Gemini Observing Tool was released on February 11, 2015. This is an optional but recommended update. (Note that at least 2015A.1.1.1 is required to access the Observing Databases). If updating from a pre-2015A version you will have to reenter any keys. New features are described in the Release Notes.
This page contains instructions for downloading and installing the Gemini Observing Tool (OT). You can install the software on a network of workstations or, for best performance, on individual machines. This machine needs internet access to communicate with databases situated at the Gemini Observatory and with other on-line image and catalog servers. Anyone installing an OT for a multi-user environment should read the site-manager details
If you experience any problems installing or running the OT, please see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) or known bugs pages for the latest information.
If you are installing the OT for the first time, please read the installation instructions. The OT installation files are located on the Gemini software site.
Pre-Upgrade Instructions
The OT stores programs in a local database in each user's home directory. The format of the binary files in this database is specific to each OT version and so they must be converted each time the OT is updated. For the 2015A update we suggest that you export all the programs in the 2014B OT local database to XML files (see the saving and loading help page for more details) for backup and reference. The "Bulk Export to a Selected Directory" option is useful for this. Old programs may be imported as needed from the XML backups, or keep the 2014B OT for referencing them. We recommend that you download programs afresh from the ODB rather than import them from XML.
Additional Information
It is possible to have more than one version of the OT installed, although this can lead to a higher chance of confusion and problems. Each version of the OT will have its own, independent, local database. Installing a new OT will not remove the database from the previous version. If you did not export your programs to XML and a new OT suddenly shows that you have nothing in your database, DON'T PANIC! As long as the ~/.jsky/spdb and ~/.ocs15 directories are not deleted then the previous database still exists, and you just need to use the earlier version of the OT to access them, and if needed, export the programs to version-independent XML files.
The auto-update feature is not yet available, so it must be installed from the distribution files.
Installing the Observing Tool
Distribution files for the following operating systems are available:
- Windows (XP / Vista / 7 / 8)
- Linux (Redhat Enterprise or Fedora recommended, likely to be compatible with other distributions)
- Mac OS X (Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite)
The OT software is available on the Gemini software site. This is an HTTPD server so you should use your web browser to download the files (follow this link to browse the OT directory). Depending on your browser, right or shift+click to save the file. Alternatively you may request a CD-ROM containing all four operating system versions by e-mailing Bryan Miller (bmillergemini.edu).
Using and Installing the OT on Windows
The OT has been extensively tested on Windows XP and 7; the Windows version appears to be very stable. It has not been tested with Windows 8 but we have no reason to believe there will be problems in other Windows versions as long as the Java included in our distribution is used.
- Download the current Windows distribution of the OT from the Gemini software site by right or shift+clicking the file named ot__windows.exe (~114MB download).
- The Windows distribution is provided as a Windows executable installer.
- Use Windows Explorer to display the directory in which you downloaded the installer. You must have at least 157 Mbytes of disk space available to install the OT on Windows.
- Double-click the installer executable. When the installation is completed, select "Close" to exit the installer.
- The installation places a "Gemini\Observing Tool\Gemini OT " folder in your Start menu. Double-clicking Observing Tool from this menu launches the OT.
Results from previous benchmarking of the OT are shown below. Sufficient memory appears to be the most important element affecting performance and, whilst OT will run with less, we suggest a minimum of 2GB of memory and a Core 2 Duo or newer processor when using the OT on the Windows platform.
Using and Installing the OT on Linux
The OT can be used on most recent Linux distributions. It has been extensively tested under RHEL/CentOS 5 and 6 and Fedora up to release 20. We have not heard of any problems on other Linux distributions.
- Download the current Linux distribution of the OT from the Gemini software site by right or shift+clicking the file named ot__linux64.tar.gz (64-bit) or ot__linux32.tar.gz (32-bit) (~120MB download).
- Unpack the distribution: tar -xvfz FILENAME.tar.gz
- The distribution unpacks into a single directory named "ot__linux32" or "ot__linux64".
- Make sure that the libgnome libraries are installed. These are needed to display file attachments. These can be installed with the following commands:
Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install libgnome2-bin
RedHat-based: sudo yum install libgnome
- Run the OT. You can use the complete path to the startup script, as shown below (where the $ represents your shell prompt), or you can include that directory in your PATH.
${where_you_untarred}/ot__linux(32 or 64)/ot_
Results from previous benchmarking of the OT are shown below. Sufficient memory appears to be the most important element affecting performance and, whilst OT may run with less, we suggest a minimum of 2GB of memory and a Core 2 Duo or newer processor when using the Observing Tool.
Using and Installing the OT on Mac OS X
The OT can be used on Mac OS X 10.7.3 and newer releases (Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite).
- Download the current OS X distribution of the OT from the Gemini software site by clicking the file named ot__macos.dmg (~127MB download).
- The OS X release is provided as a mountable disk image. Simply double click on the disk image to mount it, then drag the Observing Tool icon to the Applications folder, your DeskTop, to the Dock or to any place you find convenient. Double click on the icon to launch the application.
For OT benchmarks please see the PIT installation page for somewhat related Java benchmarks.

Buyer's Guide:
What is the difference between a freestanding and an under counter unit?
A freestanding unit is designed to stand alone while an under counter (also called a zero clearance or built-in) unit may be built into existing counters and cabinetry as they include a front vent located under the door that will channel heat forward away from the unit.
What would happen if I installed a freestanding cooler under my counter?
Since a freestanding unit does not include a front vent the heat produced by the unit during operation will remain within the built-in enclosure and eventually overheat the unit. This overheating will in turn noticeably decrease the coolers ability to maintain its internal temperature and cool your wine. The unit's compressor will attempt to overcompensate for the overheating unit and may eventually burn itself out. At the very least you run the risk of shortening the coolers overall lifespan as the compressor is continually overworked. You also run the risk of invalidating the manufacturer's warranty by operating a freestanding unit in a built-in space.
Are there any options that will allow me to install a freestanding unit under my counter?
Yes, if you allow sufficient space around the unit for the heat produced during operation to properly dissipate you will be able to install a freestanding unit into a built-in space. We strongly suggest leaving a gap of 2 to 3 inches on each side of the cooler as well as on top and in the back to create the needed airflow around the unit. You will not be able to achieve a true built-in appearance with these gaps but this should allow you to utilize a freestanding unit within a built-in space.
What exactly is thermoelectric cooling?
Many smaller wine coolers employ thermoelectric cooling instead of utilizing a traditional compressor and refrigerant. A thermoelectric wine cooler will contain what is referred to as a cooling node which is simply a ceramic tile that has electrical current passed through it. As the electrical current is passed through the cooling node the outside of the tile will heat up and the other side (the side facing into the cooler) will cool down. Typically, a thermoelectric wine cooler will contain small fans inside the unit which help to evenly distribute the cool temperatures being created by the node throughout the interior of the unit. Due to the lack of a compressor, thermoelectric coolers will produce fewer vibrations which in turn will equal fewer disturbances of the sediments within the wine bottles. Please keep in mind that thermoelectric wine coolers are not completely silent as the internal fans needed to distribute the cold air within the cooler will produce some noise. Overall, they are usually quieter than compressor driven models.
What is the best way to store white and red wines in the same cooler?
Typically, white wines should be stored in the temperature range of 46ºF to 56ºF and red wines will be stored between 58ºF to 68ºF. The best way to accommodate both wines within the same unit is to purchase a dual zone wine cooler. A dual zone cooler will allow you to maintain two distinct and separate temperature zones within the same cooler. Many times a dual zone unit will offer a larger storage capacity for one style of wine over the other so be sure to purchase the unit that best suits your individual drinking preference. You may of course store both red and white wines together in a single zone unit. By placing your red wines in the top shelves of the unit you will be storing them in the warmest section of the cooler. There is usually only a 5 to 8 degree temperature difference between the top of a single zone wine cooler and the bottom so ultimately either your red wines will be too cold or your whites too warm depending on how you choose to set the master thermostat of the unit.
May I use a wine cooler to store my other beverages?
The average wine cooler will not offer temperatures below 46ºF degrees. Due to this limitation we suggest purchasing a dedicated beverage cooler or traditional refrigerator if you wish to store beverages other than wine.
What is the difference between a wine cooler, beverage cooler and refrigerator?
A wine cooler is set to a higher temperature range than a refrigerator or beverage cooler because wine should not be stored as cold as other beverages. On average a wine cooler will not offer temperatures below 46ºF degrees. A beverage cooler and refrigerator are similar to each other, but beverage coolers frequently do not offer the adjustable shelves or door storage that a refrigerator will, and they often have glass doors in order to display the contents. A wine and beverage cooler has a wide temperature range so it may be used for either, but keep in mind if you want to store both at the same time you will either have too-cold wine or too-warm drinks depending on how you choose to set the internal thermostat.

Best Uses
Comments about Niterider Mako 200 Headlight:
I like this light because you can replace the 2 AA batteries at any time vs being stuck with a dead rechargeable. I have so many rechargeable items that I was looking to simplify. This light fit the bill. The only issue (besides it being slightly bulky) is that the clamp, while a good idea, does not stay real tight on the bars. I put some cloth friction tape on the bars and it now stays put.
Comments about Niterider Mako 200 Headlight:
I have been super stoked with this light. It has been used for everything from just riding around to a camp lantern on an overnight epic. No need to re charge so you can take extra double a's rapped in plastic and slap in a new set. very inexpensive brightness.

Comments about Niterider Mako 200 Headlight:
This is my first mtb light and I was on the fence if it was going to be bright enough for deep woods riding in Southern NH. It did not disappoint. The light mounted in a second, and was easy to adjust while on the fly. The light was quite bright, but did not come with a helmet mount which would have made it a perfect light. Look forward to buying a 2nd one to keep on the other end of the bars.

Didn't have the FATPAD stamp on it did it?
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Henson, yes that sidewinder is my pal Dustys.. he would love you to death if he could get that back... he threw it his first throw on #1 before his first tournament and lost his favorite disc...message me and maybe i can meet you somewhere to grab it.. you playing vastwood anytime soon?
i lost two rocs in the pond one white flattop with otter stamp one yellow with freeman stamp i think it was 180 grams i only threw the yellow one that day
i wonder how many total discs were lost at the tournament..... i just lost a x-out teebird...
I watched one group throw 8 discs in on 18. I would say there were atleast 30-40 thrown in the lake and creek that day. Someone will find them, just got to hope they are honest and will return them.

I didn't put any in the lake during the round. I did loose MY multiple ace Q-senntinal in practice though on #16. I also lost a Flat Top FATPAD Roc about a year ago there.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
I lost a blue star destroyer and a teebird, got the teebird back.
I've fished 13 out recently, I'll go through them and list others with names. I was in their tuesday while it was raining.
Got a blue trex with no stamp of "WEE"s???? Is that Wyatt?

Jordy Smith
The scene at New Pier, a surf break in Jordy's hometown of Durban, is the kind of place that requires respect, hard work, and a good attitude to climb the ranks of the pecking order. A fast right that is known for heavy localism, New Pier taught Jordy how to excel in both small and large hollow surf. These are all traits that come naturally to this young superstar who has a surfing history longer than most. At the age of three, Jordy's father, a shaper and surfer himself, began driving him to the local beaches and pushing him into waves. "Smitty," or "Superfreak" as Jordy is also known, took to surfing early on and by the time he was 15, he knew it was his ultimate calling.
"I look up to Martin Potter and Shaun Thomson, but my dad taught me everything and motivated me more than anyone else," says the 23-year-old. When asked about his upbringing, Jordy comments that his mom and sister also keep him in line. This close-knit family environment is one of the reasons Jordy has found so much success on both the amateur and professional levels. When traveling on tour he mainly stays with his family and team manager, who help him focus, rest and eat well.
After winning the World Juniors in 2006, the Triple Crown Rookie of the Year Award in 2007, and landing on the WCT in 2008, there was a lot of pressure on this regular footer to succeed. Pressure, however, is the one thing Jordy doesn't let get to him. Never one to boast, he says he surfs against himself in heats:
"My first year on Tour probably wasn't the best, but I gained so much experience. Just getting to events on time, with the right boards, and sticking to a plan has helped me so much. In 2008, I traveled with too many boards and tried new things at contests, and I learned quickly that preparation is the most important thing."
Being on tour is not all fun and games. Jordy learned this when maxing Sunset Beach a few years back -- he tore his ACL and meniscus. When he went to stand up, his front foot slid forward too far and he fell, causing him to get completely annihilated by an oncoming set. It wasn't until he tried to catch another wave that he realized something was wrong.
"That was a heavy moment," he said. "I thought that was it, for sure. I tried to surf again, and it just hurt so bad to stand up, I couldn't believe it."
The experience made Jordy a stronger competitor.
Jordy's ranking amongst the best surfers in the world is no accident. While growing up, sports like soccer and tennis played a huge role in developing his focused determination and competitive drive. As a junior, Jordy was selected to the South African National Soccer Team, which in a country where soccer rules, would have guaranteed him a promising future early on and the chance to play overseas. At age 11, Jordy was asked to play soccer abroad in England, but chose to surf instead. He knew that surfing was his true passion, so he spent hours on end studying surf movies and memorizing his favorite moves by surfers like Kelly Slater.
When Jordy's own fame started rising, he never claimed to be the next great one. Instead, he quietly chipped away at his training and his surfing, along the way inventing new tricks like the swiss-roll, a signature move where he grabs the board with both hands and spins 360 degrees.
In 2009, he landed the Rodeo Flip, what many called most difficult and awe-inspiring surfing maneuvers to date. What's next in his bag of innovative tricks, only time will tell.
Besides being able to charge the biggest surf, Jordy has a quiet sense of humor that makes him entertaining to be around, especially for anyone that has seen his infamous Batman suit. "I couldn't pass it up in the store when I saw it." On tour, however, it's game time and Jordy turns his razor sharp focus on the waves and the competition, a signature trait of a world champion. As the target of media hype since he turned pro, Jordy is well prepped to be the next best surfer in the world.
In 2006, Jordy put the competitive surfing world on notice when he took the ASP World Junior Championships, as well as the ASP WQS season, qualifying him for the ASP Dream Tour in only one year. Before officially joining the ASP World Tour in 2008, Jordy already earned a wildcard spot for the ASP event in his backyard of Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. He surfed to an impressive third place finish at J Bay in 2006, then defeated tour mainstays Joel Parkinson and former ASP World Champ Andy Irons on the way to a ninth place finish at Lower Trestles in 2007.
An impressive 3rd place finish at Bells Beach last year further established Jordy as a force to be reckoned with and the future of world championship surfing. 2010 has been Jordy's coming-out party on the ASP Tour – a consistent performance throughout the year has earned him the top spot in the world and a prime position to become world champion. The crowning moment thus far was his win at Jeffreys Bay in July. In front of a home crowd on Nelson Mandela's birthday, Jordy took J Bay by storm and snatched the number-one ranking from legend Kelly Slater.
At only 23 years old, Jordy has achieved a level of surfing success and skill that takes most decades to reach. Whether it's his incredibly focused raw talent or his under the radar sense of humor, Jordy is a surfer who knows how to succeed. Through large airs or massive rail to rail carves, he can always look back to his days at the rough hewn New Pier, where his work ethic and surfing style were honed. The new face of surfing has officially arrived, and his name is Jordy Smith.
Is being too competitive unreasonable?
Jordy Smith is no stranger to the stress and pressure of competitions. Traveling the globe relentlessly and competing with the best surfers in the world is how he makes his living. What are Jordy's thoughts on the future of competitive surfing? What will it take to be a contender in the years to come?
Currently sitting in the top 5 of the World Surf League, Jordy continues to push the boundaries of the sport with his athletic approach to surfing. From creative aerials to slashing, powerful turns, Jordy remains one of the best competition and free surfers in the world.
As part of O'Neill's recently dropped UNREASONABLE campaign, we catch-up with Jordy on the runway of Honolulu, Hawaii (shot during December's Billabong Pipe Masters) to get his vision on what's next within this dynamic and constantly evolving sport.
Jordy is indeed #UNREASONABLE
The Ke Nui Tour is an edit documenting the teams stay on the North Shore of Oahu from the months of November and December. It showcases the highs & lows, the beatings, the bruises, the reef massages, and most of all the triumph.
The video hosts a star-studded crew of Global, US and Australian team riders: Jordy Smith, Cory Lopez, Timmy Reyes, Nate Yeomans, Torrey Meister, Brett Barley, Ian Crane, Soli Bailey, Eli Olson, Nils Schweizer, Jake Kelley, Colt Ward and Robbie McCormick.

Regarded as one of the most naturally gifted and progressive talents of his generation, Jordy first signed with O'Neill as a 19-year-old World Junior Champion in 2007. During the course of the last five years, the South African has become one of the standout performers on the elite ASP World Championship Tour.
After winning the World Qualifying Series title in 2007, Smith embarked on his maiden World Tour season in 2008. Since then, he's racked up numerous career highlights with O'Neill by his side. Among other achievements, the 24-year-old secured top honors on the Transworld Surf Exposuremeter in 2008, starred in the game-changing surf film Modern Collective in 2009, snagged two World Tour victories at his beloved Jeffrey's Bay, and finished runner-up on the World Tour in 2010. More recently, Jordy starred in his own profile film Bending Colours, which earned a 2012 Surfer Poll Movie of the Year nomination.
"We are fortunate to have a surfer of Jordy's calibre representing O'Neill," said O'Neill Global Marketing Director, Michael Heath. "Whether it is during competition or while free-surfing, Jordy continues to prove he is one of the most progressive surfers in the world."
On his partnership with O'Neill, Smith stated, "The last five years with O'Neill have been unbelievable. They have given me so much freedom and yet so much support at the same time. I have built a relationship with O'Neill in which they help me out in so many different aspects of my life, and not just in surfing."
Currently, Smith is ramping up for the 2013 World Tour, which kicks off in Australia in early March, and remains focused on regaining the competitive form he enjoyed in the first half of 2011 before a rib injury derailed his WCT title challenge.
"I've been training and surfing a lot; reflecting on last year, and changing a few things" continued Smith. "First and foremost, my goal for the next five years is to win a World Title. I'm going to put my head down and definitely go for that."
Jordy has been coming to Cape Town since he was a grom and has never surfed this wave the locals call "Dunes". He said, "I didn't think many people surfed there and always heard it was the starkest wave around." Now, every surf we go for this wave "Dunes" is engraved in his memory and never seems to disappoint. The feet melting walk is worth every step.

In case you've been living under a rock this morning, Apple announced the all new iPad today, including a host of new features – retina display, 4G LTE, and more. You may be wondering, did the new iPad get Siri?
No. But don't worry, the best part of Siri – Voice Dictation – did make it into the new iPad. And it's a perfect fit on the iPad.
There is a new button on the on-screen keyboard to initiate voice dictation. Simply say what you want the iPad to write, and it'll show up on your screen with the same accuracy that you get on the iPhone 4S using Siri. You can now dictate iMessages, e-mails, notes and more using the new feature.
Many users were hoping for the Virtual Assistant feature to make it into the newly announced tablet, and it's understandable that users want the very best features on all of their devices. But the reality is that most of the features that Siri offers are simply not conducive to using a tablet. It's not often you're going to pull out the tablet while jogging to reply to a text message, or ask your iPad for directions while driving.
I've owned the iPhone 4S for nearly 6 months now, and I can tell you that while Siri has grown stale, Voice Dictation is a feature that I use a dozen times every single day. Having that ability on the iPad will be a very welcome addition.
What do you think? Are you mad that Siri didn't make it to the iPad? Or will you be more than happy with Voice Dictation? Let us know it the comments, or yell at me on Twitter (@calebhicks).

Breyton Paulse's spirit has not been broken, despite being dropped by Springbok coach Jake White.
In the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale this week for just R18.95, the winger insists he can make an impact for the Boks at the 2007 World Cup.
"I am still in good condition and I reckon I have lots to give," he says. "Apart from anything else I can offer experience to the younger players. I would love to have a good World Cup."
Further on in the article, Paulse expresses his frustration with the national selectors.
"I don't mind being dropped when I play badly, I just want to be treated fairly," he says. "I did not feel that I needed a rest for the home leg of the Tri-Nations. I had hardly played on the overseas leg and I was hungry to play."
Also in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale this week:
– Unlocking Twickenham: Nick Mallett, Corne Krige and Gary Gold pick their match 22s to beat England.
– Pierre Spies: "We will be ready for England".
– Why Stuart Abbott turned down Rudolf Straeuli in 2003.
– Lions centre Jaco Pretorius puts his foot on the gas.
– Saluting our Currie Cup stars: Gio Aplon, Gary Botha, Warren Britz and Phillip Burger.
– How Murray Mexted's Academy gave Francois Steyn an edge.
– What the Boks can learn from rugby league's defensive systems.
– Five former All Blacks rate the best team in the world (and explain why there's still plenty of room for improvement).
– Keo on why the Boks must dominate the rucks in Dublin if they're to avoid another defeat to Ireland.
– Naas selects his best backs of the Currie Cup, and Mallett his best forwards (expect some surprises).
– Who knows Schalk Burger better? His brother Tiaan or girlfriend Michele?
– How foreigners have invaded the Premiership.
– PLUS: We begin our World Cup countdown.

SEATTLE -- An Enumclaw, Wash.,man took his caffeine craving to a record breaking level.
Beau Chevassus ordered what well could be the most expensive Starbucks drink ever for his 27th birthday.
He said it contained 48 shots of espresso, soy, several bananas, mango and protein powder among other things.
Since Chevassus planned this in advance he also brought his own 52 ounce coffee cup.
The drink rang up at $47.30. Chevassus didn't actually pay for it, Starbucks gave it to him for free since it was his birthday.
