The 20th Anniversary Edition RZ2 is as tricked out as you're going to want to get… and then some.
Captain's Report by Capt. Steve
Keep the Fat
Tigé's mission in life is to produce premium wakeboats. In order to remain competitive Tigé has come up with a triple whammy for creating the wake you long for. First is the old fashioned ballast tank. It's a tried and true method of adding weight and increasing your wake. There's no reason to stop doing this so Tigé has dual ballast sacks in the stern and a horseshoe shaped one at the bow. From here it gets interesting.
Playing TAPS
Tigé has also reconfigured the hull, and added a trim plate aft, so you can dial in the parameters you're looking for in ways that were previously unavailable. The hull design is called Convex V and the variable part of the equation is called TAPS 2, for Tigé Adjustable Performance System.
The interior of the Platinum Edition looks as good as the exterior. Notice the custom snap-in carpeting and the color matched tower.
The Convex V/TAPS Marriage…
Where other wakeboats have hull bottoms that run in a straight line until they get to the stern and then hook down, Tigé's curves slightly upward. That drops the transom down, creating bigger wake. The more of the transom in the water, the more wake you will have.
Tigé then adds an adjustable plane on the centerline, much like a trim tab. Want a bigger wake? Adjust the TAPS 2 plane up and you have a fatter wake. Want a flat wake? Bring the TAPS 2 plane down and you get a more laminar flow to the hull.
Getting it On
Does it work? Oh yeah it does, but better with the ballast bags filled. Without any added ballast, activating the TAPS 2 did make a difference: the bow came up and down with the control. But the difference in wake was negligible, at least from the driver's seat. At the end of the towline, maybe it would be more pronounced. But the fact that it did anything at all is a step past other boats that have a fixed, hooked hull.
Note how the swim platform is right at the surface of the water. This eliminates the need for a reboarding ladder. There is a grab handle in the center of the transom to assist in reboarding.
However, add ballast and things change dramatically. Now when you bring the TAPS 2 up, the stern sinks way down, and the wake… well, if you want higher then perhaps Olympic ski jumping is more for you. I was able to go easily from a moderately flat wake to a monster wake-surfing wake, all with the touch of a throttle mounted button.
From an operational standpoint, it wasn't pretty. No one would say that operating a boat with so much extra weight, and having the bow so high, is efficient or cost effective, but in the world of wake boarding, it's not about the driver's comfort, it's all about the wake and speed, and in this boat, you can have it your way.
Tigé Touch…
But all of this is of little consequence if you can't get back to a favorite position the next day. With Tigé Touch, you can do that and more. With its 6.5" (16.5 cm) touch screen, you can create up to 25 different profiles that contain information on boat speed, ballast bag levels, and TAPS adjustments, AND you can name those profiles after the friends that they are dialed in for. Tigé Touch also allows you to have full control of all switches and tunes (regardless of what source they come from) and even gives you a readout of all gauges. We get into a full review of Tigé Touch elsewhere on our site and you should check it out.
Tigé Touch gives you complete control of the boat's ballast tanks, TAPS2 plate, and speed plus all electrical and tunes.
Comfort Level…
Aside from wake control, the Tigé RZ2 is also a very comfortable boat. The helm bucket seat is wrap-around and both the seat bottom and lumbar areas are firm mesh. This makes for a cooler seat on hot days, relieves sticking to the seat when you're in a swimsuit, and keeps the seat dry when you're sitting in a wet swimsuit.
The dash is totally uncluttered thanks to the bulk of the gauges relegated to the Tigé Touch. The upholstery is double French-stitched with Gortinera thread, the same durable thread used in Goretex.
The helm is totally uncluttered because most of the gauges are relegated to the Tigé Touch. You still have a speedo, tach, and TAPS2 gauge with fuel and engine temp embedded in each of the outside gauges. The fuel gauge could use a little tweaking though. It's a bar graph that gives fuel quantity in percents. I'd like to see a readout of the gallons remaining instead. The throttle is right at the fingertips when your arm is resting on the nice armrest, and that armrest also allows you to make incremental changes to the boat's speed.
Check out the mesh seat and back. This gives great cooling on hot days and it's also great for wet swimsuits. There is storage underneath, and to the sides. The seat swivels and slides, but I'd like to see some protection on the end of the swivel adjustment bar as it is right in the "leg scratch" zone.
Tricked Out
The collapsible Alpha-Z Tower is a Tigé trademark. Not only does it look like a work of art, it's very functional. There are handholds in the top that are great for holding the boat at the dock when you want to do a quick passenger change on the fly.
Docking lights are embedded in the forward points. The underside has mounts that accommodate up to four Wet Sounds speakers. Above is the tow point that is normally reversible to reveal the white all-around nav light, but on our Platinum Edition this towpoint is also home to a camera that swivels with the towline. Because of this, the nav light is mounted on top of the camera.
The camera will display the rider in the Tigé Touch, and it comes with a 4GB memory card. It shouldn't take long to fill that up, so you may want to hop over to the store and get a larger capacity card so all your friends can have their moments of stardom emailed to them.
As for being collapsible, the tower is internally counterweighted, which makes it much easier to lower and raise. This is a great feature for owners who want to store their Platinum in the garage.
Platinum Perks
This boat was intended as a "pull out all the stops" ride, and Tigé certainly delivered on that. To name a few of the features, there's the custom embroidered snap-in carpeting, stainless trim over the bulwark cubbies, platinum level upholstery highlights, a pair of custom engraved Platinum Edition grab rails at the bow, upgraded stereo system, color matched tower and speakers, and a partridge in a pear tree.
The wrap around seating is very comfortable and with the pickle fork bow, there's plenty of room forward. Notice the drink holder at the stern. Two storage compartments (one under her arm, the other under her butt) double as transom coolers. These girls were nowhere to be seen on test day.
Given the fact that the Tigé RZ2 makes controlling the wake so easy, coupled with her striking good looks and easy handling, it's hard not to look at this boat and feel that she's a winner. The only mistake that we've seen is people thinking she's only for the wakeboat crowd. This is a capable day boat that will also serve as a high end wakeboat. That means the kids can use her during the week, and the parents can have her on the weekends.

Comments about Clayton American Hotties 1 Dozen Guitar Picks:
I just got these picks for the heck of it. I wasn't really planning on using them, just giving to my friends as silly little gift things. But, I started playing with one of them, and I really liked it. They felt wierd at first because of my normal pick choice, but they aren't bad att all. I did get a lot of one image and very few of the others, but that isn't terrible. Overall, I digg these picks. Definately not my main pick choice, but still real cool!

Comments about Clayton American Hotties 1 Dozen Guitar Picks:
The picks shown in the advertisement included five different images. Of the twelve picks in the package I received, eleven were the same. Musician's Friend was fine about refunding my money, but was not able to accept a return for exchange.
Comments about Clayton American Hotties 1 Dozen Guitar Picks:
These picks are made VERY well. I ordered a dozen Heavies, and they're about as brittle as a bulldozer.They haven't given me problems with fast attacks, and just the material they're made of helps with gripping them (as well as the designs). For the price and free shipping (at the time of purchase), these were SUPER worth it. You get multiples of each design shown up to a dozen, and they're all very nicely painted.I'd recommend them to anyone.

Re: Sorry To the old Man at RSP
Found the 2nd Part!!
Continued from previous...
So 6:00 am rolls around, we quickly fold up and secure our cots, line up to give them back to the supply room, grab our gear, put on workout clothes, line up in formation, do stretches then line up for the 1-1-1 test. First was the push-ups, I did 36 in a minute and the best I heard was 40 with many others well below my score. The idiot Foursome were unable to perform any push ups and thus failed their test right away. Next were sit-ups where I did 37 and the best score I heard was 41 with many others well below my score. With many of us needing water we were, instead, marched out to the track to run our timed mile. It was probably 45 degrees outside so it was a very chilly run where your lungs want to explode. I hate running for distance therefore I hadn't done much of it. Passing time for males is 8:30, I finished around 7:20 and was behind probably only 6 or 7 people…meaning the majority were behind me.
I was pretty pleased with my time and not puking. Then we double-timed it back for chow…now I don't know about you but the last thing I want to do immediately after a workout is eat biscuits and gravy. They took our height and weight and then served up the food. As good as chow was, I didn't eat much of it.
We had a few minutes to change out of our workout clothes and into normal clothes. We lined up for formation and were sent back into the classroom for more presentations and discussions. There was some work on the Army Values but it turned into watching mission videos…the kind CNN doesn't show…and working on our own group motto.
Unit mottos were kind of a big deal as there was one general detachment motto (one that all the units said together) then individual unit mottos. The other units had lengthy mottos that were great and Hooah-rific (Born to fight, trained to ****, ready to die but never will. Blackhawks!) but I suggested we did a simple motto. It was in the middle of watching one of the videos that it came to us. I suggested it as the motto and it was adopted.
We lined up in the gym (also the chow area) where each unit sounds off their motto before moving into line for chow. Blue unit sounded off their lengthy motto, White unit sounded off their novel and it was finally our turn. With all eyes set on the newbies, Red Phase was called to attention and proudly sounded off with "K i l l Everybody! HOOAH!!!!!!" The laughing and the cheers could be heard in the next city as it was a wonderful way to end the drill weekend. The master sergeant suggested we not tell CNN or our shrinks about the motto, but loved it just the same.
After chow we grabbed our gear, went outside and all made a formation for the Captain to come out and give us one last Hooah speech. I won't use his exact words as most of them were not clean but the message was essentially stay out of trouble, don't get pregnant and don't impregnate for the country needs all of us right now. Red Phasers were officially upped to White Phase status, a speech from the master sergeant and we were released.
Bring on the next drill, I'm ready to prove I belong and am ready to lead my service brothers and sisters into whatever my state and country needs me to do. HOOAH!
Oh, and to all the young pups who called me "Pops" and "Dad"…I told you I would whoop your butts, and I did just that! One for the old people!
Re: Sorry To the old Man at RSP
Whew! So 2:00 pm (pardon me, 1400) on Sunday, October 17, 2010 (pardon me again, 17OCT10) couldn't get here quick enough…yet I was sad when it arrived. This is the time my first Army drill wrapped up, 38 years of zealous waiting ended and 10 months of hard work paid off.
Few know I have a continual military lineage back to the Civil War, so to say I was born to serve is an understatement. My dad would tell me stories about being a frontline Marine Sergeant in Vietnam and though the thought of being a bullet magnet was not a positive thing, the feeling of pride in being part of something bigger than any of us was. Grandpa would tell me stories of being in the Navy during WW2. My step-dad tells me stories about being in the Air Force during the Korean War. Great-grandfather in WW1…However, Dad and Grandpa made me promise I'd go to college first before thinking of the military.
I went to college, and months before earning my Bachelor's degree, my daughter was born. One sense of duty was put on hold as I entered into another sense of duty…for my daughter. So after a life time of wanting to serve my country, and my daughter reaching her teenage years to where she'd understand, I looked at serving again. At 38-years old only the Army takes that age. I worked hard this year, dropped 30 pounds, am in the mid-teens for percent of body fat and am nearly in the best shape of my life.
Committed to what I'm doing? Yes.
Should I be committed? Probably.
Either way, I am proud to finally say I am serving my country.
Oct. 16
8:30 am – sign in, dump your gear, take a seat and wait for a Cadre (instructor) to show up. Once he did he quickly rushed us into the gym, explained what was about to happen and why the other units were all standing there in formation at attention. Drill was officially started where a promotion ceremony took place. His rank patch was removed, discarded and with an Army Hooah! punch to the chest the promoted rank was secured. It may sound barbaric…but was such a neat thing to be a part of. After a quick speech and an immediate butt chewing for not knowing the detachment motto, we were released to our separate phase functions.
There are different phases based on proximity to ship date. As this was my first drill and I have 3 more drills until I ship to basic, I was in the Red Phase (1st timers). White Phase is next and Blue Phase is for those who are about to ship. Green Phase are for those in the split training option, usually for those in school or waiting to go to advanced training after basic.
Red Phase is usually dubbed "Death by Powerpoint" in that many hours are spent in the classroom learning about things like sexual harassment, suicide prevention, ranks, reporting procedures and Q/A sessions. They allow you a little room at first but as the weekend goes on the expectations increase. DO NOT FALL ASLEEP and there are times you're put on the spot with push-ups on the line for wrong answers.
We were in class for a few hours and then we went outside for D&C (Drill and Ceremony). It was nice outside and felt good to get away from the desk for a bit. We lined up in four ranks and worked on proper right/left turns, about face, standing at attention, parade rest, at ease and at rest among other things. We did this for about an hour until it was time for chow (lunch).
You don't just stand in line for lunch and wait your turn. You have to form a snake line a certain way, stand at parade rest until you move which means you snap to attention, march forward and then snap back to parade rest until the line moves again. You don't talk unless spoken to by a higher rank. Lunch was catered taco salad, refried beans, rice and (all that was left was) tea. It was all pretty good and we discussed how all units would be sprinting to the few bathroom stalls all at once when the taco salad finally set in.
After end of chow formation, Red Phasers (and our full bellies) were sent back to class for more presentations. We started learning about ranks and one person at each table (3 people to a table) was asked to name the rank the Cadre was pointing to. A wrong answer meant the person and the ones on either side of them had to do 20 push-ups. I should mention there were over 40 Red Phasers ranging from 17 to 38 (yes, I was the 38-year old and easily oldest by about 8 years). The kiddo next to me was not awake, alert or in a good mood which means HE got the question. Once he was called upon, I started to push my chair away from the table before he even got the question. 20 push-ups later we were back in our chairs. More presentations followed and then it was time for D&C again.
We march out to D&C where we eventually meet the White Phasers. Game on! Yep, we had D&C contests where, at the end, one Red Phaser and one White Phaser had to square off against one another. I wasn't the Red Phaser, but I went far. Naturally the bets started flying by both sides…losing side had to all drop and do 20 push-ups. Red Phase lost in a very lengthy face-off and in true Army fashion, the White Phasers did not let us do the push-ups alone so we all dropped and did 20. Silly, but cool. A few more activities and it was time for chow (dinner).
We march back, form our snake line and are served beef and noodles, mashed potatoes, corn and fruit juice. Once finished we tear down the tables and chairs, line up at the supply room and are given our cots for the evening. We assembled our cots, lined them up on one side of the gym, grabbed our gear and had the evening off…or did we?
There was a Sergeant I called Cool Cadre Harda$$ as he was the crazy physical trainer and drill sergeant for the weekend. Apparently he had served three tours overseas in airborne, is a member of UFC and was a college/semi-pro basketball player. He was hardcore, but once the master sergeant left for the evening he pulled out a movie (Iron Man 2), a basketball, allowed some snacks and only asked we not smoke and just follow the rules. It was about 7:00 pm at this point and it was decided lights out would be at 10:30 with all to be quiet around 11. So we were free to shower, hang out and chill for the evening.
I sat and yapped with several guys in my area where the best names they could come up with for me was "Pops" and "Dad". One guy I called 2-pack/240 as he is a smoker and a big boy. Another I called Carlton as earlier in the day he broke out the "Dougie" dance for the Cadre's chow table, I asked if he knew the Carlton (Think Fresh Prince of Bel Air) and all the brothas around me busted out laughing. Another I called High Speed and Tosh. We smack-talked for a while, I told them they could call me all the "Old Man" names they wanted but with our PT (physical training) tests coming up at 6am the next morning I bet all of them they would be going home telling all their buddies they got their butts whooped by an old guy. Smack talk continued and we all had a great time doing it. What a riot.
The evening activities died down, people were asleep and lights went out at 10:30. Snores were sounding when suddenly (around 11:00) the lights fly on, the cuss words are screaming out from several Cadres and we are called to formation into the middle of the gym. Apparently two idiots made it outside and just HAD to have a cigarette while two of their buddies watched. So about 100 of us are lined up on the floor, these four guys are pulled out and screamed at and ALL of us got smoked (meaning massive amounts of "corrective" physical activity). 100 push-ups as fast as possible, 200 hand claps above our heads as fast as possible with having to hold our arms parallel to the floor for about 10 minutes, followed by 100 jumping jacks only to go back to push-ups…special push-ups where you go half way down (straight back, arms bent between a full push up and on the floor) and holding this position for long periods of time. Push back up and then back to half down…this went on for quite a while. All were grunting and moaning, some were crying and I do believe one guy wet himself from the continual stresses in our ab section. I'm proud to say I was one of the very last ones to drop out but all were out and just doing what they could to get by. More cussing and screaming and then lights out. The four guys had to do fireguard all night long while the rest of us slept. None were very happy with them, as you can imagine.
The idiot Foursome weren't done with their blunders as they fell asleep during fireguard and were smoked for it in the morning by "counting tiles". Counting tiles is where you are in a push-up position, have your hands evenly placed on two tiles on the floor, you do a push-up then move your hands forward to the next set of tiles…all while retaining a push-up position. They had to walk the entire length of the floor like this which this hall way is probably 75 yards long. This was performed mere minutes before we all took our 1-1-1 (test where you do as many push-ups you can in one minute, as many sit-ups as you can in one minute and how long it takes you to run a mile). Needless to say these guys were unable to perform the push-up portion of their test.

MORRISTOWN – Eleven people submitted applications for the towns vacant code enforcement position by Tuesdays meeting.
David J. Murray, town clerk, said two more may come in today and all will be sent to the county Civil Service Administration to measure their qualifications. Former Code Enforcement Officer Lanetta Kay Davis stepped down at the beginning of November citing health issues.
Timothy C. Tuttle, Oswegatchie code enforcement officer, has been working in Morristown in the period between the departure of Ms. Davis and when a new officer is found.
According to Mr. Murray all but one of the current applicants live within St. Lawrence County. One resides in Jefferson County. Village Mayor Cheryl A. Shatraw asked to be included in any discussions relating to the hiring of the next code enforcement officer.
At last months meeting Town Council Member David VanArnam suggested requesting that the village of Morristown start paying more for the code enforcement officer.
We pay town and county taxes, said Ms. Shatraw. [The code enforcement officer] should be covered.
Town Supervisor Frank L. Putman, echoing Ms. Shatraw, said, The people in the village are town tax payers. The arraignment [with the code enforcement officer] is likely to stay the same.
Mr. Putman acknowledged that the Town Council did entertain the idea of raising the fiscal burden on the village for the code enforcement office but said, Thats not going to happen.
Mr. Putman said he welcomed Ms. Shatraw to sit in on any conversations relating to the hiring of a new officer. The mayor wants to attend and we will appreciate any input but she wont have a vote, he said.
Mr. Murray said he expects the Civil Service Administration will not be able to vet the applicants until the first week of January. The Town Council will move on any hiring decisions following that.

Submission Dealing with the "Australia Tax" on Video Games->
trawg writes: "In the throes of another holiday shopping season, with the year's top video game launches still setting records above all other entertainment mediums, gamers down under are still paying more than anyone else in the world, with many publishers adding an "Australia tax" to their latest tiles. We take a look at the factors and forces responsible for the disparity in retail prices for games in Australia relative to other developed nations, and as a solution suggest that consumers should support developers and publishers that don't discriminate, and import, and circumvent the products of those that do."

The Samsung Galaxy S 3 goes on sale in Europe next week, but all those of us in the U.S. and Canada want to know is, where is ours?
If Samsung and the carriers aren't talking, maybe we can take a cue from David Beren of TmoNews who posted a summary of T-Mobile's launch plans for the next couple months. His list indicates that the 16GB and 32GB metallic blue versions of the Galaxy S III could launch as soon as June 20th.
Protect your Galaxy S3 form the hustle and bustle of everyday life with the latest Samsung Galaxy S3 accessories.
Although there will be a 16GB ceramic white version of the S 3, the list shows that device won't hit the market until July 11th. That apparently is the same date that T-Mobile gets both the Galaxy Note - Samsung's 5.3-inch smartphone/tablet hybrid, and the myTouch device from Huawei.
Given that TmoNews is usually pretty good with its predictions, maybe we'll be hearing some kind of official announcement soon.
Samsung has a reputation for being pretty slow with bringing its accessories online. Industry leading manufacturers continue to provide the greatest selection of top brand cell phone accessories from Bags and Sleeves, Batteries, Bluetooth Headsets and Bluetooth Car Kits, Car Holders, Cases and Skins, Data Cables, Earbuds and Headsets, Keyboard and Protectors, Memory Cards, Screen Protectors, Speakers and Docks as well as Stylus and Pens.
We still haven't heard who will carry the Galaxy S 3 in the U.S., but odds are good it will be available at least through AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
With all the positive buzz about Samsung the company and its Samsung Galaxy S 3 device, it's no wonder everyone is itching to get their hands that 4.8-inch Super AMOLED 1,280-by-720 display, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera that runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Professor Craig Frisby is on the faculty of University of Missouri's Department of Educational, School and Counseling Psychology. His most recent book is Meeting the Psychoeducational Needs of Minority Students. It's a 662-page textbook covering a range of topics from multiculturalism and home and family influences to student testing and school discipline. There's no way full justice can be given to this excellent work in the space of this column, so I'll highlight a few valuable insights he makes that would help educators do a better job with minority students.
Quack multiculturalism is the name Frisby gives to the vision of multiculturalism that promotes the falsehoods and distortions that dominate today's college agenda, sold under various names such as "valuing diversity," "being sensitive to cultural differences" and "cultural competence." He identifies different brands of multiculturalism such as boutique, Kumbayah, light-and-fluffy, and bean-counting multiculturalism. Insider language used to promote multiculturalism includes terms such as "practice tolerance," "celebrate diversity," "equity with excellence" and "differences are not deficits." Escalating costs and budget crunches don't stop colleges from hiring vice presidents, deans and directors of diversity.
Multiculturalism teaches that one set of cultural values is equal to another. That means if black students talk, dress and comport themselves in a certain way, to criticize them is merely cultural imperialism. Frisby cites college textbooks that teach: "Racism is what people do, regardless of what they think or feel" and "Institutional racism is characterized by practices or policies that systematically limit opportunities for people who historically have been characterized as psychologically, intellectually, or physically deficient" and "One can view the clock as a tool of racism that the monochromic dominant society uses to regulate subordinate groups."

Some general remarks:
- Input: for a string, just do:
You don't really need the STDIN. Also, prefer chomp to chop: it's safer.Code:print "Enter a string: " str = gets.chomp
- When you convert from string to float of integer, do something like this:
- You don't need the empty parenthesis if there are no parameters and/or arguments.Code:begin num = Float(gets.chomp) rescue puts "Invalid number. Exiting" exit 1 end
- the word puts is the equivalent of print "blah\n". It will change line automatically. Very useful
- You can write a variable like this too:
This is quite helpful IMO.Code:puts "The value of variable foo is #{foo} and the value of bar is #{bar}"
- The default statement in a case is else
-Tutorial: you are right, there are not so many that are good. But here's one that's pretty good: http://www.ruby-lang.org/~slagell/ruby/index.html
Also, you can find the modules methods here: http://dev.rubycentral.com/ref/
Good luck man, and ask me if you need help. And thanks for not being a wuss and trying Ruby out

Food Allergy patients now have the benefit of two beneficial sets of guidelines:
Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Food AllergyClinical guidelines have been issued to help assure quality diagnosis and treatment for millions of American adults and children living with food allergies. The Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States are intended for use by physicians and other healthcare practitioners who treat patients with food allergies. Patients benefit directly, because the guidelines provide standardized information and recommendations to healthcare providers for the diagnosis and treatment of food allergies.A panel of experts convened by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which oversees allergy research, developed these guidelines. So what's in the guidelines for those individuals with food allergies?
In addition to the links below to these three food allergy guidelines documents , you can find answers to frequently asked questions about the guidelines, the guidelines development process, and the public comment period here.
Voluntary Guidelines for Managing Food Allergies in Schools and Early Care and Education CentersThe Voluntary Guidelines for Managing Food Allergies in Schools and Early Care and Education Centers are the first national guidelines developed to help schools and early care education (ECE) programs address the needs of the growing number of children with food allergies. These Guidelines are intended to help implement food allergy management and prevention plans and practices in schools and early care education (ECE) programs (programs for pre-school-age children). These Guidelines provide practical information, planning steps, and strategies for reducing allergic reactions and responding to life-threatening reactions for parents, district administrators, school administrators and staff, and ECE program administrators and staff. They can guide improvements in existing food allergy management plans and practices. They can also help schools and ECE programs develop a plan where none currently exists.The Guidelines include recommendations in 5 priority areas:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC's) National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division of Population Health, convened a panel of experts to provide guidance along with conceptual, technical, and editorial help from many other federal agencies. AAFA is proud to have played an important role in these guidelines with two members on the expert panel: Mary Brasler, former Director of Programs and Services and Michael Pistiner, Chair of the Medical Advisory Team for Kids with Food Allergies, a division of AAFA.

Dear Friends of Katadyn
The Katadyn Group began the new year with great vigor, and our dealers' shelves in Europe, Asia and the U.S.A. are filled with our products ready for unforgettable adventures in the outdoors. Not much else stands in the way of a great spring season outdoors – all we hope for now is the arrival of spring weather soon. It's high time to pull the hiking and biking gear out of the closet. I look forward to this summer in particular and can already share with you that we'll be launching a couple of very clever new products this year.
In this spirit, I'd like to wish all of you a sunny begin to the spring!
Trix Ammann
The new Optimus Vega gas stove has been available at retail since January 2013. The high-performance gas stove with an integrated hose connector offers outdoor chefs two cooking modes in one stove: The "efficiency mode" is ideal for precise simmer control and efficient gas use. If higher performance is demanded or in particularly cold temperatures, the integrated 4 season mode can be called into action. With a quick one-hand turn, the gas cartridge can be inverted and switched to liquid fuel use. A stand for this position is integrated into the fuel control valve and must only be folded open. We're excited to offer the Optimas Vega stove which fills the gap between technical and sometimes challenging gas stoves and limited-application gas burners for use in below-freezing temperatures. In a recent stove review in the German magazine "Alpin," the Optimus Vega earned a rating of "very good." Click here to see an Optimus Vega product demo Video.
Katadyn North America attended the 2013 Outdoor Retailer Winter Market (ORWM) Trade Show in Salt Lake City, Utah this past January. ORWM is North America's largest winter lifestyle and sports industy gathering with over 20,000 attendees. As one of the most powerful events in the indusrty, top outdoor retail buyers attend looking for the latest outdoor gear for the upcoming season. This year, Katadyn North America attended not only showcasing their Optimus and Katadyn brands, but their new foods brands as well – AlpineAire, Natural High, Richmoor and Gourmet Reserves. This eventful show was the first time that buyer's were seeing Katadyn Group with all of our new food brands in the USA. Retailers in the USA can now place one order through Katadyn for all their water filter, camp stove and dehydrated food needs. The Winter Outdoor Retailer show was a very successful event and Katadyn North America is looking forward to continued growth throughout 2013 and beyond.
For the first time, the Katadyn Group was represented at its own booth at the ISPO trade show in Munich, Germany (Feb. 3-6). As the leading international trade show for sports, ISPO was the ideal platform to present our outdoor products by our brands Katadyn, Optimus and Trek'n Eat to interested trade professionals. With more than 81,000 attendees from 109 countries, the ISPO trade show this year was very successful, and Katadyn was able to participate in that success itself. We'd like to thank all of our distributors, retailers and partners for visiting us at our booth.
Katadyn North America attended the annual Canoecopia event in Madison, Wisconsin. Canoecopia is the largest paddlesports consumer event in the world, with over 250,000 square feet of kayaks, canoes, clothing and other outdoor gear. There are over 100 seminars, speakers and clincis that makes this an educational event where the consumer can learn everything they need to select, purchase and use the perfect out gear for their lifestyle. Katadyn North America showcased our Katadyn and Optimus brands at the event. "The Katadyn Base Camp (available only in the USA and Canada) and Optimus cookware were definitely the hot items at this years show," said Bret Whitnah of Katadyn North America. Canoecopia is hosted by one of Katadyn North America's top niche' retailers, Rutabaga.
In partnership with JK Defence, Katadyn Germany experienced a successful IWA show in early March. In its 40th year, the IWA OutdoorClassics from March 8-11, 2013, in Nuremberg, again doing great justice to its reputation as the leading international trade show for high-quality products for hunting, shooting sports, outdoor activities, law enforcement and personal safety. Coming from 50 countries, 1,207 exhibitors (2012: 1,204) showed their products over four days to more than 38,000 attendees (2012: 36,004) from more than 100 countries. The show proved that our Katadyn, Optimus and Trek'n Eat products optimally support this customer segment in all of its pursuits.
Together with partner Aquagiv, Katadyn Germany presented its products for maritime use at the Boot show in Duesseldorf, Germany. Manual and electric desalinators by Katadyn are built for durability. Every device has been thoroughly tested to ensure it fulfills strict performance standards. These devices are compact and simple to use, plus various models are available to fulfill all fields of application. No desalinator may fail on any sea voyage because it is what guarantees a daily supply of fresh drinking water. Katadyn Survivor and Katadyn PowerSurvivor desalinators have been tried and proven for decades at sea.
The Hunting & Fishing show in Moscow, Russia, is an established rendezvous for all those interested in hunting and fishing sports. The show took place from Feb. 27-March 3, 2013, in Moscow. There were large numbers attending to find out more about modern hunting, outdoor and fishing gear. Katadyn Germany was on hand with Russian partners SPLAV and Camping 2000 with Katadyn, Optimus and Trek'n Eat products for hunting and fishing.
Participants in the annual winter camping outing put on by travel outfitter Lauche & Maas had the opportunity to test outdoor products in a casual atmosphere despite this year's freezing temperatures. Various brands were present for the January weekend, offering a fascinating look at their products. Katadyn Germany offered up meals in the "Trek 'n Eat Restaurant" at the event using Optimus stoves and outdoor meals by Trek'n Eat. Participants found particularly interesting the new 4 season outdoor stove Optimus Vega, which was able to show off its outstanding performance in the very cold temperatures.
Katadyn France is also a partner in the "Millet Expedition Project" as of 2013 and will support the young adventurers with advice as well as gear from the brands Katadyn, Optimus and Trek'n Eat. The project was begun by the French brand Millet, known for its mountaineering gear. As a part of the project, young and athletically aspiring adventurers are provided support and advice during planning and implementation of their expeditions. The project accepted applications through March 15, and applicants must present their plans to members of the "Millet Expedition Project" on April 19.
Organized by leading Trail Run Company "Action Asia Events", both the 100 KM and the 60 KM Ultra marathon let runners from all over the world experience challenging ascents combined with stunning views into the Himalaya white giants. Katadyn Singapore, Marco Preisig and Swiss-Singaporeans, Sandro Steiner, participated and both ranked 3rd in their respective category.
The look of popular certiman cleaning and care products distributed by Katadyn Germany was freshened up recently. The products are great at ensuring shiny exteriors on RVs, motorhomes and boats. The relaunch also allowed them to adapt the sizes. A one-liter bottle with the new look is available immediately at retail in Germany. The much-beloved certiman classic "RegenstreifenEx and Co." (a water-repellent product that prevents spotting) convinces consumers with its high quality and perfect function during cleaning and care.
In early January 2013, the new Optimus Vega outdoor stove was put to a hard test by tapir, the oldest and largest independent retailer in Leipzig, Germany. The test conditions in the Thuringian Forest were outstanding with temperatures down to -13°C (8.6°F). You couldn't ask for better conditions to push a gas stove to its limits. The Optimus Vega won over the tapir test team from start to finish and was declared the winner. In particular, the team called out the low gas useage of only 12 grams per liter of water, which clearly put the Optimus Vega head and shoulders above the competition.
Amidst the competitive manufacturer climate for desalinators in Asia, Katadyn was selected as the supplier of manual desalinators as part of the overall packages for Taiwan Coast Guard's boats and life rafts. At the mid of February, we delivered 60 sets and expect another order in the near future to complete the supply of 100 sets. The fact of a higher cost for the Katadyn Survivor 35 does not push them away as they are going for a better quality product in the market. With these manual desalinators in place, the coast guard will be well prepared in case of emergency.
After competitive evaluation, a Singapore engineering company decided in favor of two Aquafides UV-systems model 3AF400T as part of the overall water making solutions for a newly-built vessel. Singapore is a globally renowned one-stop marine center for world's premier ship repair and building of jack-up rigs. With another local engineering company favoring Katadyn-Aquafides systems, it brings us another step into Singapore Maritime Industry.
As of Jan. 1, 2013, our brand Trek´n Eat has a new distribution partner in Russia: SPLAV has been in the markets outdoor, hunting and military since 1992. SPLAV has approximately 50 of its own stores and also works on a franchise system. We look forward to our work together.
Things are busy at Katadyn North America. Later this spring, Katadyn North America will be warehousing and distributing all of Katadyn's North America's food brands including AlpineAire, Natural High, Richmoor and Gourmet Reserves. This will enable Katadyn North America's retailers and consumers to have their water filters, camp stoves and dehyrated food shipments consolidated. Food manufacturing and co-packing services will continue in our Rocklin, California facility.
With Swiss Advance, Katadyn Germany GmbH has further expanded its brand and product portfolio. Founded by passionate paraglider Peter Meyer, the company Swiss Advance is perhaps the most authentic outdoor brand in the Swiss Alps. Partly because nearly every product must first be tested and proven personally in the field by Peter Meyer. Swiss Advance offers high-end design in everything that makes the outdoor experience more valuable and just a touch, shall we say, spicier: from salt and pepper shakers for home use or when traveling, and zingy herbs and chocolate energy bars for critical situations, to what could be the world's lightest pocket knife.
Transhimalaya is one chilly project that mountain biker Claude Balsiger dared to take on in February. He planned to traverse 500 kilometers by bike, by foot and on skis along the frozen Zanskar River in the Indian Himalayas. And he planned to do this in the middle of winter with temperatures down to -30°C (-22°F). Balsiger was accompanied by mountain guide Thomas Wäspe and outdoor photographer Martin Bissig. Despite adverse weather conditions, health problems and gear failures, the team managed to finish about two-thirds of the planned route. The expedition had to call it quits just four days from the goal due to large avalanche danger. You can read about the expedition on its blog at www.transhimalaya.ch. Regarding technical aspects, the biggest challenge on the tour they said were the extremely low temperatures. Katadyn supported the expedition with its Optimus Nova+ stove and cookware as well as freeze-dried Trek'n Eat meals. "When you are traveling across the Himalayas on skis, you must have the highest-quality product," said extreme biker Claude Balsiger. "In addition to being lightweight, we value in particular the robust durability of the Optimus. In such harsh conditions during the Himalayan winter, your gear has to be able to take a beating. That wasn't a problem for the Optimus." Outdoor photographer Martin Bissig appreciated in particular the quick and easy preparation of the Trek'n Eat expedition meals. "With just some hot water, we had a warm meal in only minutes without having to clean up pots or cookware afterward. Decisive in our selection was the product's great taste and natural ingredients."
For more than 20 years, Jerome Blösser has been traveling across the deserts of our planet. Since 2002, as tour operator of wüstenwandern, he has led more than 1,000 satisfied clients on great adventures. A crossing of Iceland in the winter is something extremely few expedition teams have tackled. Together with polar adventurer Martin Hülle, Jerome Blösser led participants on this tour along the fittingly lonely traverse route that leads from the north, over the highlands and then across the Vatna Glacier all the way down to the south coast. As professionals, they have relied for years on the products of the Katadyn Group. Participants on this just-completed tour (March 17-April 7) used products from Trek´n Eat and Optimus.
Together with climbing partner Laure Batoz, the young mountaineer Caroline North traveled to Patagonia in early February 2013. Caro is a member of the women's expedition team of the German Alpine Club (DAV). After several acclimatization trips, the two power women took on Cerro Torro (3,128 m/10,262 ft) via the Ragni Route as the first women's team to do so. Due to difficult conditions, they had to turn back just two rope lengths from the summit, which nevertheless doesn't diminish their feat. Just a few days later, the two alpinists stood on the summit of Fitz Roy (3,406 m/11,175 ft). Caroline and Laure kept themselves nourished with meals from the Trek'n Eat kitchen. "Your meals are simply inspired," Caroline wrote us after their return to Europe. "Thanks to Trek'n Eat, we were able to complete such a tour. When you are climbing for 5 to 6 days and if you have to carry heavy food too, it simply wouldn't have been possible for us. The packs were heavy enough!" We at Katadyn wish both women the best for their alpine careers.
On April 16, 2013, the starting gun will go off for Roman Hutzli as he kicks off his adventure through the fascinating arctic world of rock and ice on Baffin Island. The actual goal of the expedition is Mount Odin, which at 2,134 m (7,001 ft) is the highest mountain on Baffin Island. Roman Hutzli wants to solo Mount Odin on a new route (rock, ice and mixed terrain). Katadyn supports the Baffin Island Expedition 2013 with freeze-dried meals from Trek'n Eat, an Optimus Nova stove, and the Optimus Terra Weekend HE cook set. We'd like to wish Roman Hutzli all the best for his coming adventure, and we look forward to more news on his Expedition blog.
The German Alpine Club's (DAV) Expedition Team seeks new athlete applicants for the men's expedition team 2015. With the successful completition of the men's expedition teams 2010-2012, the club is looking for the next group of young up-and-comers. To that end, a pre-screening camp was held in Chamonix, France, March 23-31. The goal was to work together with participants on planning and undertaking challenging West Alpine tours. Additional technique and tactics were taught based on ability and then feedback given on personal performance. At the conclusion of the camp, the most suitable participants were to be nominated for the new DAV Expedition Team. Coming into play in the decision is not just performance, but also teamwork, motivation and fitting life's goals. Katadyn Germany provided the athletes with freeze-dried meals from Trek'n Eat, Katadyn water filters and Optimus stoves.
Iranian Mohammad Tajeran has been traveling by bike around the world since December 2006. The goal of his project, titled "We Need Trees," is to bring more attention to the importance of nature. Along the way, he is visiting schools where he tells stories about his experiences and impressions. In workshops, he also plants trees with students. Katadyn Switzerland is supporting the worldly biker with products from Katadyn, Optimus and Trek'n Eat. On his trip through wintry Europe, the freeze-dried meals from Trek'n Eat were really welcome. "The meals were simple to prepare and tasted outstanding. When you are traveling by bike and living mostly in a tent, there isn't a lot of time and energy for cooking.

Katadyn North America is proud to announce the winners of their 2012 sales contest. The Hanson Group, based in Minnesota and H30 Sales, based in California were the winners of Katadyn North America's Rep of the Year Award. Both of these rep groups did an exceptional job growing Katadyn and Optimus brands in the US market. The Hanson Group – associates Todd Hanson and Hans Linna and H30 Sales – associates Harrison Walls and Martin Loef have all done a phenomenal job representing the Katadyn North America brands. Katadyn has been working with both agencies for 17 combined years. "Katadyn Group does a tremendous job of putting incentives out there for their sales reps and they reward us for the hard work. I hope to be in Switzerland again soon!" said long-time Katadyn rep, Martin Loef. The winners went to Katadyn's manufacturing headquarters in Kemptthal, Switzerland followed by a ski trip in St. Moritz. Katadyn North America looks forward to this trip and contest every year. Not only is this a life event for our reps, but an event where they get to learn more about the entire Katadyn Group and spend time with the management team in Switzerland. Katadyn North America announces the winners at every Outdoor Retailer show in August.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply?
The Honors program accepts applications only from entering freshmen during their senior year of high school. There are two opportunities to apply for the program: an early application deadline of December 1, 2015 and a final application deadline of March 28, 2016. Admission is offered on a rolling basis. Application forms, deadlines and requirements are available from admissions, the START Center, and the Honors director. Applications can also be downloaded. The program typically starts accepting applications from students in January of the senior year, though we will consider early applicants if a student's status in Honors helps them make a decision about where to attend college. Also see the Honors Calendar for relevant dates and events.
Why should I take Honors courses?
Honors courses challenge a student to become fully engaged in an academic subject matter by participating actively (rather than passively) in a seminar-style classroom setting, questioning one's own assumptions, and fully exploring topics through a range of different research methods. Because Honors courses are interdisciplinary, they ask professors and students to expand their intellectual scope by making connections across and between disciplines.
Are Honors courses harder or do they require more work than regular courses?
Honors courses are different from other courses because they emphasize primary resources, interdisciplinary approaches, and seminar style teaching. The classes also encourage students to find their own "voice" by examining texts and issues through many different types of writing and speaking exercises. The core seminars cover requirements that students need to satisfy anyway in general Liberal Education (LE) courses.
What is the difference between the Honors certificate and the Honors degree?
Students who complete the 7-course core sequence of LE Honors seminars receive the certificate and will have that achievement noted upon graduation. Students who complete (beyond the 7-course core sequence) 6 more hours of upper-level Honors coursework, maintain the program's minimum GPA standards, complete 4 semesters (or the equivalent) of college-level study of a single foreign language, and complete a senior project receive the Honors degree upon graduation.
What if I don't finish the 7-course core sequence before I graduate?
Although the Honors program expects students admitted as freshmen to complete the 7 core courses before they graduate, in certain cases students might not end up fulfilling this requirement. If students find that they will be unable to complete this sequence, they will need to work with the Honors director and registrar to find suitable alternative courses that will fulfill the remaining LE requirements that have gone unsatisfied by the failure to complete the Honors core sequence.
How is my Honors participation recognized on official documents?
Those students who complete the requirements for the Honors certificate program or the Honors degree program receive an Honors certificate suitable for framing and signed by the Honors director and registrar. Transcripts also signify all Honors classes taken. Finally, Honors degree recipients are entitled to wear a double scarlet cord at graduation ceremonies, while Honors certificate graduates wear a combined scarlet/gold cord.
How should I list my Honors participation on my resume or vita?
List the distinction on a separate line by your other academic information as "Successful completion of the college's interdisciplinary, seven-seminar Honors program curriculum," or a more concise version of that statement. Students want to make sure they distinguish Honors work from just graduating with honors (e.g. cum laude), which anyone can do. As far as letters of recommendations for med school and the like, contact the Honors director for a paragraph of boilerplate language that unfolds all that is important about Honors--especially in the eyes of grad schools. One of your letter writers should employ that language to describe the program.
In what order should I take the Honors seminars and can I take more than one seminar in a term?
First year Honors students must take Humanities I & II in the fall and spring terms of their freshmen year and sometimes pair those courses with another Honors seminar, typically in the spring term. It is not unusual for sophomores to take two Honors seminars at a time. Students should consult the Honors director or other experienced Honors students for suggestions about pairing of seminars.
Do I get Honors credit for my high school AP courses or AP exams?
Honors students do not get Honors credit for AP exams, though individual majors often give elective credit for such achievement (check with the chair of individual departments). Students do receive Westminster general credit hours towards graduation for satisfactory scores on AP exams; such credit will also accelerate a student's path to upper-class status, which will eventually give them priority over fellow classmates without AP credit in registering for classes. While the Honors program encourages students to engage in AP work in high school, since it better prepares them for the Honors seminar experience and such work may give Honors students an advantage in admissions decisions, the program cannot give seminar credit for that work because AP focuses on single disciplines and all Honors seminars are interdisciplinary--there is no equivalency. AP work also tends to emphasize content covered in a particular discipline rather than critical thinking skills, strong oral and written expression strategies, and making connections across disciplines, which is at the core of the Honors seminar experience. (This is one of the reasons that some colleges and high schools are moving away from the AP program.) Students should also know that AP credits often don't satisfy entrance requirements for graduate study in fields like medicine. Finally, since the seven Honors program seminars allow Honors students to fulfill their LE requirement in only 28 credit hours rather than the standard 43-49 hours typically taken by non-Honors students, Honors students possess more flexibility in scheduling to do double majors, multiple minors, or pursue electives, for example. The vast majority of Honors students enter the program with a significant amount of AP credit on their transcripts.
Can incoming students with Associate Degrees apply to the Honors Program?
Every few years an Associate Degree student will join the incoming Honors class, despite having already satisfied their 43-49 hours of LE because they see great value in the Honors experience and its ability to enhance their educations. If you have an Associate Degree and are trying to complete your Westminster education as quickly as possible, then Honors is probably not for you. On the other hand, if you plan on remaining at the college for 3-4 years and desire the challenge of Honors, then you might consider applying (if your ACT composite score is 26 or higher).
How do I make sure I remain in the Honors program?
Honors students must maintain a 3.00 GPA overall. Students who fall below this minimum standard will be given two probationary semesters to raise their GPAs to this level and ensure continued participation. Students who do not return to that standard after one year will no longer be eligible to take Honors seminars.
What is the Honors Resource library?
The resource library consists of a range of reference materials maintained by the program for the exclusive use of Honors students. The goal is to give Honors students quick and easy access to books they might need to complete class assignments, research graduate schools, prepare for exams like the GRE, MCAT, and LSAT, or succeed in college. Books are available for check out for a period of 48 hours and are located on the third floor of Nunemaker Place, home of the Honors program. Students are encouraged to browse the resource library at any time. If you have specific titles you would like to see added to the resource library, contact the Honors director with the ordering information.
How can I get involved in the Honors Program beyond just taking classes?
The Honors program is much more than just taking seminars. There are leadership opportunities in the Student Honors Council, which meets regularly to discuss ways to improve the Honors experience for students. All Honors students are welcome to participate. There is a regular schedule of visiting speakers who meet specifically with Honors students. The program also encourages and financially supports research by Honors students that might lead to presentation at academic conferences. The Honors program newsletter is always looking for students with interesting stories or students interested in writing features. The Honors peer mentoring program allows upper-class students to help first-year Honors students draw on their experiences and make the transition to college and the Honors program smoother. Contact the Honors director for information about these and other activities or click here for more ideas. Get involved!
Do I have to be in the Honors Program to take Honors courses?
Although only students admitted to the Honors program can take the seven LE core Honors seminars, any undergraduate in good standing with a 3.5 GPA or higher is eligible to enroll in the 300 and 400 level special topics Honors seminars. The Honors Program is an active part of the larger college community and welcomes the energy, intellect, and diversity that students bring to Honors from different disciplines across campus.

Time to get your game on! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby discuss the basics of game theory, a field of economics that formulates mathematical strategies for complex situations. You'll learn about the basic ingredients of any game, including players, rules, consequences, and payoffs. You'll see how game theorists use a matrix to record their results. You'll also find out the difference between the two basic categories of games: cooperative and non-cooperative.
