If art is "dangerous", just what are the dire consequences that we are in danger of enduring?Originally Posted by Fugazi Dave
I view art as a living thing ... constantly changing, evolving, ... infinite .. as diverse as those in it.
I think, from what I read here, that the essence of your "rant" is directed towards what we former members of the "Beat" generation used to call "phonies". Over the years, I've learned to deal with them ... I hold no anger towards them, only compassion. It must be a terrible state to be in ... where one feels so worthless and depressed that they have to lie and posture to be able to survive.
I seem to have found one common characteristic among those we - or the raqged-assed-masses out there - choose to call "Great Photographers" - and that is an almost ... weird ... sense of modesty. I remember one "cocktail party' conversation where a gushing (and I mean GUSHING) Matron of the Arts approached one of the luminaries of photography:
"Oh, Mr. XXXX - I am so happy to meet the Worlds Greatest Photographer!!!"
That really startled him...
He answered: "Uh , well ... I take photographs ... I guess, once in a while, I get a good one."
I try to avoid being hung up on labels and titles. I can remember the opening of Psychology 101, where the class was trying to solve the burning question of "What is Psychology" - and the answer finally emerged - "Psychology is what Psychologists Study."
I'd propose something similar, if reversed: A "Photographer" is someone who does Photography; an "Artist" is someone who does "Art".
How well they do their work - whether or not they are "good" photographers or "artists" - is something else entirely.
I do not think "Art" itself is in danger from the phonies and poseurs ... they have been around since man decided to draw images of bisons on the walls of caves with charcoal. They haven't destrroyed Art yet.
If I go to a gallery, and see something (this is necessarily theoretical) that I think has been done by a "phony" --- something not worthy of being called "Art" - I always remember the words of one of the most "accomplished" photographers I've ever met ... "Oh, look! There is another photograph two feet to the right ...."
OK ... so much for MY rant.

Home construction remains strong in San Diego County
Nevin said he expects the figure for condo permits in San Diego County to surge later this year as several big projects begin construction in San Diego County. In fact, when the rising popularity of converting apartments to condominiums is considered, the county may create more condo units than houses this year for the first time in its history. Super-high prices of new and used houses appear to be driving large numbers of local buyers into condos.
In the first quarter of this year, a new house cost an average $648,933, a new condo an average $448,900, and an average apartment that was converted into a condo cost $278,644. In May, the median price of a used, single-family house was $580,000.
In booming Riverside County, where city officials have opened vast tracts for development, builders received a sizzling 12,480 permits for single-family houses in the first five months of 2004, about the same as through May 2003. Permits for apartments and condos plunged 41 percent to 1,606 units.

The Bharatiya Janata Party here on Friday found fault with the Centre and with Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar in particular for failing to take timely steps to stop the galloping increase in prices of food items.
BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar pointed out that it was a time-tested practice for the Centre to release into the market large quantities of cereals stored with it as buffer stock during times of acute scarcity, as during drought, and when prices are unreasonably high. But nothing of the sort was done this time.
Mr. Pawar has instead blamed State governments for "not lifting" cereals offered by the Centre, Mr. Javadekar continued, "but without bothering to explain why this had happened." The reason was, the Centre wanted the States to pay not only the procurement price but also the transport costs from the 'mandi' to the particular State, say Tamil Nadu or Kerala. "If the States do not get the cereals at a reasonable price they cannot release it at reasonable prices and the goal of bringing down the high market price will not be met. In short, the effort would be self-defeating."
For the bungling in sugar, Mr. Javadekar blamed the Centre for not assessing in time the total acreage under cane cultivation.
"Mr. Pawar blamed the States once again for not informing the Centre about sugarcane cultivation when in fact through satellite imagery the Centre itself was in a position to assess this," he said. About a year ago, the Centre allowed export of sugar at about Rs.12 a kilogram and later India had to import sugar at Rs.30 a kilogram.

Article Summary
January 17, 2005 It's the world's most dangerous legally-sanctioned sporting event. Every time the event is run, on average, two competitors and an unknown number of spectators die. The size of a small city, the Dakar Rally streaks for 16 days and 9000 kilometres across several countries and time zones at frightening speeds. One of the most significant events in the history of motorsport, it has direct lineage to the first auto race and all the famous city-to-city races which were banned between 50 and 100 years ago due to the carnage. So why is it still running?

True, no loyalty in business. I've been through enough times where I liked where I was, but through no fault of my own (or even no fault of the entire department), the whole lot was let go -- or the business changed enough that it was like being let go.
One place I was a contractor, hoping to turn it into a full-time position, and all the contractors (there were many) were let go. A mandate from at least 3 levels above our manager. The employees were left with gobs of work to keep doing without contractors, and I'm sure 6 months down the road they were hiring contractors back. Some ploy to make the books look better; show a short-term gain (not paying contractors) by sacrificing the long-term gain (losing their expertise and having to re-train people; having the system basically stagnate while the employees tried to keep up).
Not to say that I haven't jumped ship myself, but I know that my boss(es) are not looking out for just my best interest. They are concerned with their best interest, and whatever it takes to keep themselves employed, and moving forward in their career.

Standing Flye
You'll need a set of 3- or 5-pound dumbbells and a step bench. This targets your inner thighs, hips, calves, chest, shoulders, and core. Do 15 reps on each leg.
Standing Fly: You will need a set of 3 or 5-pound dumbbells for this exercise. Stand sideways next to a step bench or a flight of stairs and place your right foot up on the step. Keep your feet wide apart and your toes turned out 45 degrees. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, extend your arms in front of you at chest height with your elbows slightly bent. Press the weights out to the sides while lowering your hips into a plie. Straighten your legs and bring your arms back together. You'll do 15 reps on this side before switching to the other leg. Now, switch sides, so your left leg is up on the step and do 15 more reps of the plie with fly. The standing fly targets your inner thighs, calves, hips, chest, shoulders, and core. To make this exercise easier, you could lower yourself only halfway down into a semi-plie. You could also eliminate the weights keeping your hands on your hips instead.

SAS Group is to tap the capital market with a lower convertible bond offering than initially anticipated.
The group says it intends to launch a SKr1.6 billion ($245 million) offer, with a five-year tenor, on 4 March.
Earlier this month, the trinational company issued a SKr2 billion share issue to fund its fleet modernisation and reduce dependence on bank financing. It also said it intended to issue up to SKr2 billion in convertible bonds to redeem certain of the company's outstanding bonds maturing in 2015.
The senior unsecured bonds to be launched on 4 March are expected to bear interest in the range of 3.125-3.625%, payable semi-annually in arrears.
The conversion price is 25-30% over the volume-weighted average price of the shares between launch and pricing of the offer.
SAS Group has the right to redeem "all but not some" of the bonds at any time after approximately three years following the issue date.
The group says the April 2019 bonds are guaranteed by Scandinavian Airlines Systems Denmark – Norway – Sweden.
JP Morgan is acting as sole bookrunner with respect to the bonds issuance.
In February 2011, SAS issued two senior unsecured bonds with a 3.25-year term to repay certain outstanding bonds maturing in the short term. The SKr1.3 billion bond had a 10.5% coupon while the €75 million ($104 million) bond had a 9.65% coupon.

P1.3B project of Thai unit in PH gets perks
MANILA, Philippines—The Board of Investments (BoI) has granted incentives to Charoen Pokphand Foods Philippines Corp., the local arm of a Thailand conglomerate, for its P1.352-billion hog raising project in the country.
"We see a steady increase of investments from foreign investors in strategic sectors like agribusiness. This trend helps balance our investment portfolio, increase opportunities in rural areas, and strengthen food security," Trade Undersecretary and BoI Managing Head Adrian S. Cristobal Jr. said in a statement.
CP Foods' investments will be infused into three swine farms that are expected to start commercial operations by 2013. One swine farm, which will be located at Floridablanca, Pampanga, will be used for the production of parent stocks. The two others—both in Concepcion, Tarlac—will be used for the production of breeder stocks and swine.
The company's parent stock capacity will be 25,453 heads and for slaughter hogs, 3,647 metric tons.
According to the BoI, CP Food plans to source its primary inputs such as feeds, including corn, soybean and fish meal from both local and foreign suppliers.
CP Foods is a wholly owned subsidiary of Thailand's CP foods PCL, which already has existing business operations in the Philippines, involving the production and marketing of prawn and fish fries.
Agriculture policy expert Roland Dy, in a recent dialogue with the Department of Trade and Industry, said that the growth in the country's agriculture sector would likely be driven by the rising income and wealth in most Asian countries, transformation in logistics and supply chain management, technology advancements and cross-border investments.
Agriculture or agribusiness is among the industries listed in the Investment Priorities Plan and has been identified by the DTI as one of the sectors for industry development. With a large constituency composed of small shareholders and farmers, investments in this area will help increase our farmers' incomes and help reduce poverty," Cristobal added.—Amy R. Remo

Data on the U.S. economy might force a major downward revision for gross domestic product in the second quarter, economists said. John Ryding and Conrad DeQuadros of RDQ Economics said a surprise 18.8% widening of the trade deficit in June, coming on the heels of weak construction and inventory data, probably will lead to a substantial cut, from 2.4% growth to an increase of 1.1% to 1.2%.

27 September 2013 10:12 [Source: ICB]
Switzerland-headquartered INEOS confirmed it will close its Grangemouth petrochemical plant in the UK by 2017 unless it can stop the facility from losing money and obtain the necessary investment to secure shale gas feedstock supply.
Calum MacLean, INEOS chairman of Olefins and Polymers Europe, said the company has been facing losses of £150m/year ($240m, €179m/year) due to a decline in North Sea petrochemical feedstocks and because the pension scheme is £200m in deficit, while pension costs are an unsustainable 65% of salary.
Rex Features
INEOS' Grangemouth site faces closure by 2017
In the interview, he added that, to source shale gas from the US and get the cracker operating at 100%, INEOS would need a £150m investment to prepare the site and a further £200m to offset losses while a required new tanker facility was being built.
If the site continues to lose over £100m/year, Maclean admitted the petrochemical side of the business will not continue beyond 2017. However, if this investment was obtained, the future of the plant would be secured for the next 20 years, although this would need to be combined with a change in structure of the group's current pension scheme.
INEOS is already facing the threat of industrial action. On 13 September, Unite, the UK's largest union, sent out ballots to workers at Petroineos' 210,000 bbl/day Grangemouth refinery to vote on possible strikes.
Petroineos comprises trading and refining joint ventures between INEOS and China's state-owned PetroChina. In July 2011, PetroChina completed a $1bn purchase of a 50% stake in INEOS' European refining operations.
Unite decided to ballot over INEOS' decision to investigate allegations a senior site union representative inappropriately used company resources and systems.
A dispute also continues between workers and management over issues surrounding pension provisions, and claims that agency workers have been misused.
The ballots will be returned and counted after two weeks. In response, INEOS said it was disappointed with Unite's decision to ballot its members at Grangemouth, adding it would not be intimidated by the union's actions.
"INEOS has a fair and reasonable process for investigating this type of allegation. The company believes that this process should be allowed to proceed unhindered by interference from a trade union," the company said.
At the time, INEOS added that although it had invested over £1bn, the business continues to struggle and, with heavy cash losses, industrial action was neither wise nor sensible.

To the average human, Paul would appear handsome, nonthreatening. His frame was slight, his height only five foot nine. But in that compact form, he held the strength of an immortal. And although he was still a fledgling by most vampiric standards, he was still about ten times stronger than Jane. A fact he reminded her of often.
While other humans saw a handsome face, hair that glinted gold as if touched by the sun, and perfect creamy skin, Jane could only see his good looks as a passing shadow. Instead, what she saw when she looked at Paul––and every other vampire––was coal-black skin that glistened like a snake, with shimmers of silver where the light hit it, and eyes that glowed like doorways into hell.
His fangs remained hidden inside his gums. When they were out they showed on his human visage, and vampires preferred to keep a low profile.
Which was why they hated her.
She could see them without being one of them. She'd begged countless times to be turned, but Gregory wouldn't curse her, and the other vamps wouldn't reward her.
Paul held her wrist in a punishing grip as he dragged her through the bar. The smoke of countless cigarettes was a thick haze that had her eyes watering. It had to be the control of all the preternaturals because Cary Town was the only place she'd been in a long time where you could still smoke in a bar.
The establishment was run down, but it was obvious it had been the spot in its heyday, maybe sixty years ago. Back then there had no doubt been live singers and performers of jazz and blues, instead of the canned music that was being piped out now through a cheap sound system.
Jane scanned the bar quickly, noting her surroundings. Paul seemed unwilling to protect her from others, so she had to stay aware. There were vampires, some demons, a few humans, and a wolf.
Demons were a hard sort to recognize. If they mingled in the human dimension, they looked like humans. But there was something other about them. They often incited that fearful gut instinct most people feel stupid for feeling, then ignore.

Hurricane 2013: Plan in advance and register for special needs shelters
In the days before a hurricane hits, the lines at grocery stores often seem to wrap around the building as shoppers stock up on day-to-day essentials like water, ice and batteries.
But for people with special needs, planning for a storm should start weeks — or even months — in advance of a hurricane.
Counties designate people with special need as someone with physical, emotional, sensory or visual impairment. They are residents who aren't able to respond independently to emergency situations that require evacuation.
People with special needs should register early with the county staff and make sure they have a plan in place in case they cannot return home, according to county emergency management agencies.
What to do if you have special needs:
Collier County residents should call Collier County Emergency Management at 239-252-3600 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to request an information packet and a registration application. Application forms and more information are also available online at www.collierem.org at the link titled "special needs/sheltering."
Lee County residents should call Lee County Emergency Management at 239-533-0622 Monday through Friday to request a registration form. Residents must submit a new application each year to remain on the special needs registry. Applications are available at www.leeeoc.com; registration for these shelters is cut off when Lee County enters the five-day forecast cone.
Residents in both counties are asked to bring a companion or caregiver to accompany them.
People with special needs should bring important paperwork, medications, oxygen if needed, bedding and personal items to the shelter. Lee County provides oxygen, but residents are asked to bring a portable tank for the trip to and from the shelter.
In Collier County, residents are asked to bring at least one gallon of drinking water and a three-day supply of nonperishable food or snacks. In Lee County, these items are provided but residents should bring their own food if they have special dietary needs.
Only service animals are allowed in the shelters, and other arrangements should be made for other pets.
If a person's physician has decided he or she needs to be cared for in a hospital during an evacuation, he or she needs to arrange admittance before evacuation, according to emergency management officials.

Building designs should make people connect to their lifestyles, advises veteran architect Balakrishna V. Doshi.
More than 300 people packed the 160-seater auditorium at the National Gallery of Modern Art and spilled out into the adjacent corridors and stairwells to hear veteran architect Balakrishna V. Doshi speak about how a builder should connect with what he creates. The 84-year-old artiste is to Indian architecture what John Lennon is to the international music world. And Doshi did not disappoint his eager audience as he spoke about a variety of issues in architecture and his own experiences centred on that theme.
Doshi has not only been an architect designing for a particular time and space, he was also making architecture for the place and for celebration. He was introduced by the organisers as someone who "...has protected the soul of our profession (architecture)…"
Rur-urban galaxies
"Over centuries, we have developed a network of Rur-Urban galaxies which sustain our culture," he said, elaborating on the stated theme of the evening's talk (but he rarely stuck to this theme and meandered through many ideas of architecture and planning). In the development of the cities, the heritage seen in the cores of the cities is not there in the peripheries, he said. "We also have to remember that we are Indian and as developers and architects, we have to remember what binds us and holds us together." He also said that architects should build in a way so that the local people have an affinity with their lifestyles. And his take on sustainability? "Sustainability requires adaptability and use of both local and global opportunities."
Started as an apprentice
Unlike most architects, Doshi began his career as an apprentice and gained direct, hands-on experience before designing one of his most celebrated work, the Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology University (CEPT) in Ahmedabad, which was planned in a way that encouraged open-ended discourse between teacher and student.
For more than an hour, the octogenarian spoke lucidly to an audience that consisted predominantly of architects and designers, engaging them in an eloquent exposition of a panorama of ideas, interspersed with a slide show. Doshi raised questions like can we develop in such a way that we have a better quality of life, where we live in harmony with nature and acknowledge the importance of bio diversity.
Sense of vitality
Another provocative question he raised was do all cities have to look the same? He said in the older part of cities, like in the pols of Ahmedabad, there is a sense of ownership and vitality. But the newer parts were anonymous. He also asked the audience to think about how architects could connect their professions to life.
His other well-known works include the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) and National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), both in New Delhi. He has also been involved with the restoration of heritage sites in multiple cities including the old city of Hyderabad. Doshi's case studies for Jaipur and the representation of those ideas in Indian miniature style are now part of architectural folklore.
His foundation, Vastu Shilpa, is an architectural research facility in Ahmedabad which is an architectural practice as well as a research facility for understanding and addressing the complex issues of the Indian city. Doshi's work was the subject for American academic James Steele's book, 'The Complete Architecture of Balkrishna Doshi'.

Rupert Murdoch on Sunday fuelled speculation that he could be about to sell his British newspapers which have been embroiled in a series of phone hacking and corruption scandals after he dramatically stepped down from the boards of a string of his companies behind The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun.
The 81-year-old magnate, who has dominated the British media scene for more than 30 years, resigned as director of his U.K. media group News International; NewsCorp Investments; and Times Newspaper Holdings.
The BBC said that he had also resigned from boards of a number of subsidiaries in America, Australia and India.
The move was said to be part of a plan to split his U.S.-based flagship company News Corporation into separate publishing and broadcasting businesses following a backlash from shareholders in the wake of the News of the World hacking row.
Mr. Murdoch is expected to chair both companies; however, he would be the chief executive of only his television business in what is seen as a move to distance himself from his crisis-hit newspapers Experts said it would protect News Corp's television operations such as Sky TV, in which it has 39 per cent stake, from the fallout of the hacking scandal.
The publishing business is expected to be smaller than the new broadcast company.
News International tried to play down the significance of his resignations describing them as "a corporate house-cleaning exercise prior to the company split".
"Last week, Mr. Murdoch stepped down from a number of boards, many of them small subsidiary boards, both in the U.K. and U.S.. This is nothing more than a corporate house-cleaning exercise prior to the company split," said a spokesman.
News International assured the staff that Mr. Murdoch remained "fully committed" to the company.
Earlier this year, his son James Murdoch quit as executive chairman of News International following widespread criticism of his handling of the hacking crisis.
One leading media analyst described the latest development as a "controlled fade out of Rupert and James from the U.K." signalling the beginning of the end of the tumultuous Murdoch era in British journalism.

For those of you who have no idea what Family Ties is (for shame…), here's a quick synopsis: It's a TV show that ran through the '80s starring a dashing and very young Michael J. Fox. I'm sure there are other important details about the show, but you were totally on board as soon as I mentioned Michael J. Fox, am I right?
Each member of this TV family (the Keatons) has their own unique personality and style… and one of them is bound to be your perfect match. So let's get to know the Keatons, shall we?
The Public Television Employee, Steven Keaton
You have a big heart and a fair mind, and you'd rather suffer through caffeine withdrawals than get your coffee from the coffee chain on every corner. You wear sensible cardigans, either made from organic, fair-trade cotton or purchased from your favorite Crossroads, and you keep your accessories to a minimum.
The Successful Professional with Hippie Sensibilities, Elyse Keaton
You're kind and considerate of others, and you try hard to see things from other people's point of view. You're a hard working professional who has managed a healthy work-life balance. Your style is effortless and elegant; your hair is always gorgeous, and your makeup and clothing is understated and functional.
The College-Bound Young Conservative, Alex P. Keaton
Like all teenagers, you love to get a rise out of your parents by completely contradicting them. Yet, when it comes down to it, family always comes first. You're far more interested in dressing to impress than dressing for comfort; in fact, skinny sweats and sneakers with everything are your two most heinous sartorial nightmares.
Mallory Keaton, The Vapid Fashionista
You have your finger on the pulse of the fashion world; academics… not so much. But hey, you look fabulous, and you'd rather focus your attention on finding a date for this weekend. You are always right on trend, but you tend to play it safe and not wear anything too outrageous.
The Sarcastic Wit, Jennifer Keaton
You're not afraid to speak your mind, but you're never nasty about it, and boy are you quick with the comebacks. You are definitely a jeans and t-shirt kind of person, preferring sneakers to heels. When you do wear something a little trendier, it's usually a disaster.
So which Family Ties character best suits your style? I think I'm a little of all of them. Sha-la-la-la….

To be honest, both are correct at the right moments. As freedivers and spearos, we're always looking for different ways to improve our breath-hold. But how often do we seek to be better breathers and to really take advantage of the benefits of proper breathing? I mean, really? We breathe about 30,000 times per day!
I have been doing some research; personal experimentation and I have trained breathing with the top freedivers in the world. I figured since I have to breathe each and every day for mere survival, I might as well get it right. Not only will improved breathing-techniques help you hold your breath longer and improve your bottom time for that mutton snapper swimming just out of the reach of your speargun, it will enhance your life in most ever aspect; from increased energy levels, experience a positive attitude, faster metabolism and even weight control. In combination with spearing and freediving, it will allow you to be in some of the best physical shape of your life!
At one point in time I weighed all time high of 84.5kg (186lbs), which for me at 1.78m (5'10") was quite heavy. I got back into freediving and spearing, took a FII Freediving level 2 class with Martin Stepanek and within 6 months of learning how to breathe properly, proper diet (and I didn't even make an effort to eat better, it was my body simply craving healthy foods and not junk) and the awesome exercise that freediving and spearing provides, I lost 14kg (30lbs) and I've not been able to gain any of it back! Take that Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers!
Some great and easy tips to get you on track is to really make breathing part of your lifestyle; to make it a conscious part of your day and to use it to your benefit through deep, diaphragmatic breathing. It will take you out of the "fight and flight" mode we are in most of our day when we're in the work force and it will bring us to the "rest and digest" mode, which is where our bodies need to be more often. By holding our breath for a short time (no more than 30 seconds out of the water), it will bring us into further relaxation and meditation, which brings additional benefits to our bodies and minds. I take just 2 minutes at night, while lying in bed, to do slow diaphragmatic breathing before I go to bed and I've found that I sleep much better at night. It's that simple!
When spearfishing, I will usually do around 5 minutes of relaxed diaphragmatic breathing on the surface and I'll achieve a super relaxed state to be able to start my day of diving out right.
The last thing fishwants to see is a guy/gal all-amped up on adrenaline attacking him! If you're nice and relaxed, you'll have a higher chance that the fish will approachyou. You'll kind of send an "inviting" signal. Through correct breathing, this can all be achieved.
Of course, when we're not diving, yoga is a great way to achieve proper breathing (Yogis have been getting it right for about 3,000 years... they know a thing or two about breathing.). Stretching is also fundamental to truly take advantage of proper breathing (Check out Martin Stepanek's Stretching for Freediving DVD). This will allow all of that wonderful oxygen to get to your muscles and tissues. Make sure you don't just jump into these activities without getting the proper instructor and training.
I hope with these simple tips, I was able to give you the initiative to breathe or not to breathe!
Safe diving!

Captain Nemo Freediving Fins 101
With so many manufacturers fighting for market share in the booming business of freediving fins specifically fiberglass fins, it has become paramount to educate yourself on what makes one fiberglass fin better than the other, and what to look for when making your purchase.
Waterway Ukraine is the world leader in fiberglass for finswimming and freediving. They have over 17 years of experience in the finmaking business and are now the fin of choice for nearly every World Record Freediver or Finswimming World Record Holder.
Waterway fiberglass are extremely durable and can withstand even the most careless ownership. This is because Waterway uses the 'high pressure pressed' fiberglass method as opposed to the cheaper and much weaker, 'vacuum pressed' fiberglass option; the HPP fiberglass will not change its properties (snap) with normal use whereas the VP does with each use. Waterway backs this with a guarantee that their fins will not change properties up to 2000 kilometers of use. Though the distance is more relatable for finswimmers, for us freedivers this literally means a lifetime of diving.
Shaving Methods
Waterway fiberglass is hand-shaved! With strips of 'high pressure pressed' fiberglass in-hand, expertly trained staff hand-shave each blade to the listed stiffness. This time consuming method involves chipping off exact layers of fiberglass (see right) to achieve the desired properties. Captain Nemo Freediving Fins have around 7 - 9 layers, depending on the stiffness.
Captain Nemo: Full Set or Blades Only?
Captain Nemo Freediving Fins are available in either the full set fin or the 'blades only' option. The full set is ideal for anyone who want to purchase a fin and use it without customizing it, the blades are glued in and are not interchangeable, but you are ready to go. The 'blades only' are for people looking to swap out their blades (soft for shallow diving, medium for deeper line diving, etc) or if you have a pair of foot pockets you absolutely love. The blades can be fitted to many different foot pockets (Omer, Beuchat, the old Sporasub, Captain Nemo, etc) and to fit you simply drill the holes in the fiberglass aligning them with the screws on the foot pocket. You can ask your local store if they can customize them for you, Florida Freedivers (online store & shop front in West Palm Beach) have plenty experience with customizing these blades to different foot pockets.
Review of Stiffness Options
Stiffness #1 (Soft) - These are the blade of choice for most girls. They are ideal for recreational freediving up to around 66ft and perfect for freediving on reefs, marine interactions or spending a lot of time on the surface swimming. The only downside of these blades is the lack of burst speed.
Stiffness#2 (Medium)- This is a very universal blade. You'll notice most FII Instructors are using this blade as they offer a nice snap for increased speed, but they are still soft enough not tire you out after a long session of deep repetitive freedives. This is Martin Stepanek's go-to blade for teaching, spearfishing and recreational freediving. He has also comfortably taken this fin to 91 meters during a XTB World Record training day in 2o11!
Stiffness #3 (Hard) - This is what we have classified as the hard fin, although there is one stiffness higher, this is really as high as you need. It is ideal for deep divers 100ft +, whom have strong legs and needing to push a bigger surface area through the water. This fin is not recommended for those whom do a lot of surface swimming.
Stiffness #4 (Extra Hard)- Although applicable to the finswimming arena, we feel this option is too stiff for freediving purposes.
Fiberglass Color
Most retailers are choosing the black colored fiberglass as it is universally more popular, and while there is no difference in the properties of these blades, some people prefer the yellow because it is raw and unaltered (with dye). If you are interested in the yellow blades you may need to special order them from your nearest store.
Care and Maintenance
Always rinse your Waterway Captain Nemo Freediving Fins in fresh water and dry out of direct sunlight. Always stand your fins on the foot pocket end as opposed to the blade tip end and do your best to minimize sun exposure on the boat.

States resisting Adam Walsh Act
California, 46 others argue law is flawed
That measure is not connected to the Adam Walsh Act either, according to the office of Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, who is carrying Chelsea's Law, which is pending before the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Nationally, states largely concentrate on their own efforts to deal with sex offenders and registration, said Sarah Hammond, who monitors the issue for the National Conference of State Legislatures.
"It's not like the states don't already have the laws," she said.
Only Ohio, Delaware and Florida have complied with the Adam Walsh Act.
Coombs, whose board advises the governor and lawmakers on sex offender issues, said one of the biggest failings of the act is that it is too rigid. Significantly, the act requires post-release parole, supervision and rehabilitation polices to be set by the crime, which in many cases is a plea bargain.
That, he said, could hamstring state efforts to perform risk assessments to tailor punishment and treatment options so that the worst offenders, or those most likely to attack again, will be targeted.
"The act would essentially require California to take steps, many of which undermine policies we have now," Coombs said.
Some California officials oppose the requirement of posting on the Internet the names and records of juvenile offenders because it could stigmatize an entire family. Also, that could make it difficult for offenders to turn their lives around by attending school or getting a job. The act also could force the state to reassess and re-register thousands of sex offenders,
The Sex Offender Management Board and the state Attorney General's Office have both penned reports critical of the Adam Walsh Act.
Recognizing the reluctance of states to come on board, the federal government has given them waivers each year and the funding cuts have been avoided so far.
The U.S. Department of Justice is circulating proposed revisions to the act.
The recommended changes, still under review in California and elsewhere, would give states more latitude to exempt information regarding juveniles that must be posted on sex-offender registry sites. The proposals also would scale back some retroactive sex offender reporting regulations, exempt e-mail addresses of those registered from publicly accessible Internet sites and improve the exchange of data to better track offenders across state lines.
Allen, of the missing children's center, said a broader national registry, in particular, would be effective because too many predators easily slip across state lines and avoid notifying authorities.
"The most dangerous sex offenders are highly mobile," he said.

Easter eggs are usually dyed naturally one of two ways: in a hot bath, which means that the eggs are colored at the same time they're being hard-boiled; or in a cold bath. The hot bath works faster, but the cold process may be easier if you are dyeing with more colors because you can make an array of dyes in advance.
I prefer the cold method because the colors come out intense.
What you'll need:
• nonreactive dye pots
• glass jars or bowls
• water
• eggs (Creativity is the point, so feel free to go beyond the typical white eggs and reach for brown, blue and green ones. You'll be amazed at the beautiful colors that will show up.)
• white vinegar
• dye plants, including:
• onion skins
• beets
• blueberries
• blackberries
• turmeric
• red cabbage

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - A woman was in extremely critical condition late Monday after being hit by a small SUV on Highway 6, deputies said.
According to the Harris County Sheriff s Office, the accident happened near Clay Road around 10:30 p.m.
Investigators said the woman and her husband ate at a nearby restaurant and later realized they lost their cell phone. At first the woman looked over the parking lot before stepping onto to the highway to look for the phone.
Deputies said the woman was wearing dark clothing, and by the time an approaching driver saw her, it was too late to avoid hitting her.
Life Flight was called in to take the woman to the hospital.
No charges were expected to be filed against the driver of the SUV.

Piter De Vries is a fictional character from the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. He is featured in Dune, the original novel in the science fiction series, as well as the Prelude to Dune prequel series by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
De Vries was a Mentat in the service of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. This Mentat was a particular favorite of the Baron because the Tleilaxu had shown him to be an amoral sadist, making him an ideal candidate for the Baron's torturer.
In David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of the first novel, De Vries was played by Brad Dourif. He was portrayed by Jan Unger in the 2000 Sci Fi Channel Dune miniseries.
But you see, Baron, I know as a Mentat when you will send the executioner. You will hold back just so long as I am useful. To move sooner would be wasteful and I'm yet of much use.
De Vries is generally regarded as architect of the plan to destroy the Harkonnen's long-time enemy, House Atreides, while returning the Baron's stewardship over Arrakis. He died on Arrakis shortly after House Harkonnen's troops and Imperial Sardaukar had captured Duke Leto Atreides. Leto had been given a false tooth containing a poisonous gas by Wellington Yueh, the Suk doctor who betrayed House Atreides. When the tooth was crushed, the intended victim—the Baron Harkonnen—escaped but De Vries was not so lucky.

I find it odd that Roger is playing more the year he is sick and injured, and less the year that he is fine?
If Nadal had made it to the finals the contrast would be even greater. So I ask you did Roger have a "great" year at all and if so was it because he won the FO alone? What would be the odds of Roger beating an unhealthy Nadal at the FO?
Were Roger's sats raised in 2009 because of Nadal's absence?
IMO if not for Nadal being out this year would have been a tragedy for Roger, but even with good fortune on Roger's side he still had a worse year than when he was supposedly sick and injured.
Did Nadal in 2008 benefit from Federer's illness, subsequent loss of fitness/preparation and back problems? Works both ways.

Sunshade in abandoned building crashes down
A 68-year-old woman died and her 40-year-old son was injured when the sunshade of a house in a multi-storied building collapsed on Tuesday morning.
Police sources Andal and her son, Kumar, were sleeping outside a tailor shop on the ground floor of the building located at the intersection of Medavakkam Main Road and Vellalar Street at Adambakkam.
The weak sunshade was already crumbling and crashed down at around 5.30 a.m, killing Andal instantly. Kumar escaped with a few injuries.
Andal was a flower vendor and also worked in a few houses in Adambakkam.
