Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan spoke at Fordham Law on The Gospel of Life.
Photos by Chris Taggart
The dignity of human life must be at the center of all man-made laws if society is to strike harmony with natural law, Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan said on Jan. 24 at a Fordham Law forum.
Delivering the inaugural address at "Law and the Gospel of Life," Cardinal-Designate Dolan invoked Pope John Paul II's encyclical
Evangelium Vitae
. Written 17 years ago, it speaks not just to Christians, but to "all people of good will" on the contrast between a culture of death and a culture of life, the archbishop said.
In modern political and legal theory, religion has been set aside from public policy discussions and law, in favor of secular arguments that are based on shifting values, or "drifting dunes of utility, convenience, privacy, and self-interest," he said. Such a culture constructs laws that lead to the devaluation of human life, whether it be through abortion, infanticide, contraception, war, or poverty.
This runs contrary to the concept of "natural law," an objective truth that recognizes all human life as sacred, and thus meriting legal protection.
"In the utilitarian view that dominates our age, the principle that human life is an end in itself, not a means to an end, is always subject to a calculation that would justify harm to another—if we deem it to produce enough of a benefit to ourselves," Archbishop Dolan said.
Even babies, he said, have become a "commodity." The nation of China enforces the law of one child per family, and in other nations couples use contraception until they "decide they'd enjoy one."
Monica McDaniel, LAW '09
"Pragmatism, utilitarianism, and consumerism are fancy vocabulary words for the passionate drive for
," Archbishop Dolan said. "(But) life is basically about
, and the law's most noble purpose is to safeguard the "being" of life from the rawest preferences for having and doing."
Archbishop Dolan's remarks were followed by responses by Jacqueline Nolan-Haley, professor of law, and by Monica McDaniel (LAW '09), former president of Fordham Law's Catholic Law Students Association.
McDaniel, an associate at White & Case, said that the
pro bono
departments of some law firms can lack good moral reasoning: on the one hand offering representation to fight conscientious objection to abortion while simultaneously offering to defend freedom of expression in another case.
It is up to law students and lawyers who believe in the Gospel of Life to uphold their values in school and in the workplace, she said.
"This may mean starting a conversation with a co-worker on a difficult subject, or challenging a professor who makes ethically dubious claims, or opposing an unethical practice advocated by a client, or requesting not be put on an assignment involving a corporate client whose mission we can't support—even if we risk earning a reputation of not being a 'team player,'" she said.
Accepting questions from the audience on "anything but my income taxes," the archbishop acknowledged the frustration that some faculty members can face when students see no place for religion in classes on topics such as bioethics.
"One of the things that is frustrating is that the natural law approach is automatically thought to be synonymous with Catholic teaching, but it is not uniquely Catholic," Archbishop Dolan said. "Some of its greatest proponents—Aristotle, Cicero—never even heard of the Catholic Church.
"You can tap into your pedagogical toolbox and take this out of a Catholic context," he said. "This is a human thing . . . an examination of conscience."
Following the event, Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, presented Archbishop Dolan, a St. Louis native, with a St. Louis Cardinals hat, which he promptly donned to unanimous applause.
The archbishop made a promise to return to Fordham following his elevation to cardinal next month in Rome.
"Any opportunity to visit Fordham is an occasion I relish," he said.
The event launched the new initiative by Fordham Law's Institute on Religion, Law and Lawyer's Work, to explore the challenges of applying Gospel values to law and social policy. The institute was established in 2001 with funds from William F. "BJ" Harrington (LAW '59) for the purpose of integrating faith values into the practice of law.
Harrington's son, William P. Harrington (LAW '82), moderated the evening's discussion.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College in the United Kingdom.

How to breed Goldfish?
I had 2 black moors and 2 ryukins in a 30 gallon tank.
1 Black Moor is bigggg! 3.5 inches, and a convex vent. Its a female. The other is small, 2 inches but i think its a male, because when I put the female into the new tank, it start chasing it for few minutes, then never. Is it mean that there is one male or female?
2. 1 Ryukin is 5 inches, with a convex vent, its a female. But i dont know the sex of the other one. Its about 3 inches and very active. How can you tell the sex?
3. How big or how long should they get to let them breed? How to make them breed? When do they breed? I live in Malaysia. Do you know? Everyday is hot here. HOpe will help. Thanks.;-)
Well, for one, they must be full size, which can only be possible if they're in quite a big tank. All I know is they must be at least a foot long. For more info, look at someone else.

Senator-Elect Scott Brown talks gay issues
Timothy Kincaid
January 31st, 2010
Massachusetts' newly elected Senator, Scott Brown, spoke with Barbara Walters on ABC This Week and part of the conversation included his stance on issues of importance to the gay community.
On Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the Military's ban on service by openly gay men and women.
WALTERS: You have been a member of the National Guard for 30 years. You've talked about how important that service is.
BROWN: Yes.
WALTERS: You're a Lieutenant-Colonel. On Wednesday the president announced that he wants to work with Congress to repeal don't ask, don't tell. What's your view?
BROWN: I think it's important, because as you know we're fighting two wars right now. And the most — the first priority is to — is to — is to finish the job, and win those wars. I'd like to hear from the Generals in the field — in the field — the people that actually work with these soldiers to make sure that, you know, the social change is not going to disrupt our ability to finish the job and complete the wars.
WALTERS: But Senator, your own view.
BROWN: That's my view.
WALTERS: So you can't say whether you're for or against it?
BROWN: No. I'm going to wait to speak to the generals on the ground.
I find this exchange both encouraging and troubling.
Obviously Scott Brown has an opinion and is just hedging his bets. And I am not happy that he is discussing the issue as a "social change" and see it in terms of "disrupting". But it is also nice that the Republican whom the party is lauding as the face of a cultural change is not speaking against the repeal.
Also encouraging is that much of the information that we hear suggests that our problem is with the Pentagon, not with generals in the field. If Brown is sincere – and for now we should give him the benefit of the doubt – there is a good chance that if he does speak to field operations, he'll hear that good troups are more valuable to the war effort than anti-gay policies. It all depends on whether the officers to whom he speaks have had to lose soldiers that they valued and did not want to let go.
But if Brown is simply looking for an excuse to take an anti-gay position, I'm certain that he can readily find "generals on the ground" who will agree with him. When reporting what you heard from "generals on the ground" (anonymously, of course), they can say anything that your imagination can contrive.
On marriage:
WALTERS: And gay marriage is legal in the state of Massachusetts. But the Republican party platform language calls for the overthrow of Roe v. Wade, and they want a federal ban on gay marriage. Are you out of step with your party, or do you think that the party has to broaden, and change its platform?
BROWN: Well I've always been a big tent person, you know? We need more people to come into our tent to express their views in a respectful and thoughtful manner.
And on the marriage issue that you brought up, it's settled here in Massachusetts, but I believe that states should have the ability to determine their own destiny and the government should not be interfering with individual states' rights on issues that they deal with on a daily basis.
Again, this seems to be language that can leave open a lot of options.
It would seem clear that Brown will not support a Federal Marriage Amendment. But if the Supreme Court overturns Proposition 8, will that be justification for him to vote for a federal amendment to reverse that decision?
And what does this mean for DOMA? Can one truly be "states' rights" and not support having the federal government honor the marriages of states that provide marriage equality?
We know from his efforts in the Massachusetts legislature that he is not an advocate for marriage equality. But he's had five years to see that the sky hasn't fallen and that churches aren't being shuttered and that his neighbors, liberal and conservative, have come to accept and support the change.
I think there is much to hope for from Scott Brown. We should not expect an ally or even a secure vote on any issues, but if we do not approach him as an enemy I think that it is possible that we will find that Scott Brown could be a crucial bi-partisan vote on some issues of concern to our community.

Mo. gov. pledges additional $100M for disaster aid
Friday, July 1, 2011
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has pledged an additional $100 million in state disaster aid following the deadly tornado in Joplin and continued flooding across the state.
Nixon's announcement Friday raises Missouri's total financial commitment to $150 million for a particularly devastating few months of natural disasters.
Nixon's budget director, Linda Luebbering (LOO'-ber-ing), said the additional disaster aid will be funded by better-than-expected state tax revenues. Missouri ended its 2011 fiscal year Thursday with 5.9 percent growth.
The governor's previous allotment of $50 million for disaster aid was offset by cuts to education and other government services.
Luebbering said most of the additional money is necessary because of the May 22 tornado that killed 156 people in Joplin. But she said some portion also could pay for flooding aid.

My Opinions on using Flash for Web Design
There have been many times when a client asks me about using flash to build their web site. I usually immediately let out an internal sigh and begin to think about ways to explain to him why it's not always the best idea. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not against using flash for design, but I believe that if you can make the web site function the same using XHTML/CSS or Javascript, why use flash? Flash shouldn't be for building full web sites in my opinion. It should only be used to create elements on your site which cannot be programmed with normal use of XHTML/CSS or Javascript.
Here are a few things about flash that every designer & client should consider

Think of the Whole
Question I have been playing chess for a long time. My step-father at the time showed me how the pieces move and the rest I taught myself. I have big problems with my game. I usually have a good beginning in chess but my middle and ending is not that good. I find out in the middle that I sometimes make stupid mistakes. I might get lucky and find it out in time. But when I find myself winning I stalemate most of the time, even with people I know I can beat. So I was just wondering how I could fix this problem. I did get Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition to see if this will help me. It did a little. But when I play it I can put it on a harder setting and hold my own but still lose. But I can play it on very easy and lose because of my middle and endgame. Emanuel Alcaraz (USA) Answer Let me applaud you for attempting to learn chess on your own and becoming reasonably proficient at it. That you should experience trouble with the middlegame and endgame is fairly typical. These areas cant be perfunctorily absorbed as easily as the opening, where we always start with the same position. This constant setup and repetition makes the possibility of committing some of the fundamentals to memory much greater. So its not so much that we tend to understand the opening phase better, its that we convince ourselves we understand it better merely because were slightly more familiar with it, having seen some of the same moves over and over. We may not, however, necessarily play the opening with any more perception and grasp than we do the other two less frequented phases. Rather, within a narrow range, we probably play all three phases at about the same roughly approximate level. While it may be true that you often seem to be making mistakes in the middlegame, some of these errors may result from faulty execution of opening lines that lead to problems a number of moves later. In selecting certain move orders, in misevaluating superficial opportunities and potential threats, its natural not even to consider the connection between earlier ideas and subsequent ramifications. Losing a piece in the middlegame, for instance, even if its an outright blunder, could have been affected by the pressure generated against us after we chose moves and lines conducive to slip-ups. From your question it also appears that youre throwing away many wins, if I understand you correctly, by falling into stalemate. This suggests a number of things: first, that you may be making too many queens, or unnecessarily gobbling up enemy pieces and pawns before heading directly to checkmate; second, that you dont yet have down basic winning techniques; third, that you may be moving too quickly, especially at critical junctures; fourth, that you are not analyzing positions with confidence, and therefore wind up overlooking impending dangers and pitfalls; and fifth, you therefore arent planning wisely or maybe at all. There are other possibilities, but lets just attend to these and try to draw up some understanding and plan of action, as surface based as it might be. None of these problems can be solved for sure by dint of any particular effort. But all of them can be relieved and lessened by approaching chess study differently. Instead of imputing the problem to possible oversights in the middlegame and endgame, why not see the game more organically, trying to take it all in as a whole? Thus, in your opening work, in addition to assimilating specific variations to obtain reasonable positions, try to learn something about the middlegames and endgames likely to ensue

from those opening lines. To this end it makes sense to think in terms of pawn structures, piece placements around those configurations, and appropriate plans for those setups as they apply in all three phases. There are wonderful treatises that could prove helpful here. They start you in the beginning and take you relevantly to the final stage. Edmar Medniss From the Opening to the Endgame, as well as his From Middlegame to Endgame, emphasize the oneness of the project and are a great place to begin. But there are plenty of other works that might do just as nicely, which could be checked out on the USCFSales.com online catalog. The Chessmaster DVD youve gotten is superb, and you should go back to it again and again. But you might also consider the excellent DVD offerings of grandmaster Roman Dzindzichashvili, Romans Lab: Mastering Chess Series. He has quite a number of volumes and they make an effective instructional package. For game annotated collections, there are a huge number of possibilities. If you want to get a comprehensive take on the history of chess ideas, and do so with power and contemporary feel, you cant do better than Garry Kasparovs outstanding series My Great Predecessors. The five volume set constitutes, without doubt, one of the finest achievements ever in the presentation of the games theory and application. Kasparov probably should be given a special award for putting it all together. As a final word, let me suggest that you may not be paying enough attention to opposing threats and plans. Consequently, youre simply going to have to get more practice at analyzing positions and making apt decisions. Its likely you need to calculate more in training sessions, especially without moving the pieces. Im certain it would also help to solve simple tactical problems on a regular basis, say at least ten or twenty every night. You might have other things to do, of course, so like a chess player, youre going to have to figure out how to do them all without overstepping on the clock. I wish you well in this endeavor. Question I think I have often heard chess described as an art. Other people I know say it is a science. I think you have to be good in mathematics to play chess at a high level, and most scientists use math. But I also think that musicians play chess very well, and music is more like an art. Doesnt this prove that chess is both an art and science? Dont you also think that you have to be highly intelligent to play chess well? Arent world champs intelligent? You never see a moron or imbecile playing chess, do you? Tony Andrews (USA) Answer What? It doesnt prove any of that at all. Im not sure what it proves, other than a need for you to think about it some more no, a lot more. There are mathematicians, musicians, and scientists who puke at chess. And while every world chess champion has incredible intelligence, Ive known and have seen my share of morons and imbeciles who can indeed play chess. I think in my time I may have encountered a few chess-playing idiots too. While your question is not entirely a big one, its too extended to tackle with my deadline approaching, so lets stay with one aspect of it: that portion dealing with chess as an art. Few serious chess players doubt that chess is artistic. Think of the language typically used to describe the game: economy of force, elegant solutions, brilliant moves and combinations, simplicity of means, and so many other terms, ideas, and expressions exude the aesthetic. Think of the games beauty, its splendid patterns. Think of its harmony and balance, its surprising solutions and truths. Furthermore, as with the musical arts, accomplished performance requires repeated practice until it becomes intuitive. Think also what happens when a chess position seems on the verge of petering out. The chess artist can often find a way to turn the game on its head, so that the commonplace is suddenly seen as beautiful, and glorious new schemes emerge out of nowhere. Im not a chess artist, but Im beginning to get intrigued by the next question, and so I think I too must turn things a bit and move on.
Question How many ways can an en passant move? If my pawn is on a2, and the enemys pawn goes to b3, and my a2 goes to a4, is that an en passant? Karen Simmons (USA) Answer No, its not, unless theyve redefined the meaning of en passant and Im simply too old to realize Im getting old. At the risk of losing half my already dwindling readership, please allow me to go over the rule. en passant refers to a certain kind of pawn capture, where a pawn takes another pawn. If you have a pawn on your fifth rank; and your opponent has an unmoved pawn on an adjacent file; and your opponent then moves the adjacent pawn two squares (as if he or she were trying to avoid being captured); you may pretend the opposing pawn had moved only one square, capturing it as if it had moved only one square. There are some other details regarding en passant that you may want to become acquainted with, and you can do so by checking them out online or in hundreds of introductory books. But please never treat en passant as an entity experiencing a move, even if doing so suggests a moving experience. Question What is the proper pronunciation for fianchetto? Is it fee-annKETT-oh or fee-ann-CHETT-oh? Gene Milener (USA) Answer If youre an Italian, and youre speaking to someone about developing a bishop on the flank, youd go with the first listing, fee-annKETT-oh. If youre not an Italian, however, especially if you come from anywhere else in the solar system, and youre still thinking about that flank development, you probably should go with fee-ann-KETT-oh. So you see you have some leeway. Question I have been having problems with my tactics in the middlegame and endgame and so I have wanted to improve in those areas. I hang pieces and overlook simple tactics and mates and ways to win. I was at a tournament and was able to purchase from a friendly vendor three books to help me in those areas. The vendor seemed to be enthusiastic and helpful and the books looked interesting. I was rushed and didnt know when I would have another opportunity to get such items and so I bought them. One is American Chess Art by Walter Korn. The other is The Chess Endgame Study by A.J. Roycroft. The last one is How to Solve Chess Problems by Kenneth Howard. When I got home and began to read them I couldnt get much out of them. They did not relate to the tactical problems I was having. But Im confused because the books seemed to be about what I needed to learn. Can you make any suggestions or tell me where to go for help? Daniel Fine (USA) Answer If I werent in a good mood (actually, Im not so certain I am), Id tell the friendly vendor where to go. He obviously didnt pay any attention to you or simply didnt care. The books youve purchased, while all very good, deal with chess compositions. They represent the highest form of chess art, but they do not present typical over-the-board situations. You need to get a book or two, or a piece of software, providing examples of forks, pins, mating nets, and such. The number of books and DVDs at your disposal pertaining here is probably legion. As an example, and I dont want to go on until its time for next months column, just about any of the works by Fred Wilson and Bruce Alberston should be satisfactory, but there are so many good offerings you can hardly go wrong. Just go to the online USCFSales.com catalog, or to any other respectable chess online service, and take a look at what they have to offer. It will be fun, and youll be surprised at all the marvelous texts out there. But be careful you dont once again purchase a work on chess compositions, and dont buy anything from that friendly vendor. Question of the Month The best answers will be published in the next column.
What is you favorite composed chess problem? Readers Responses from Last Month We received many responses to the October question of the month: Which style of play do you prefer, Anands or Kramniks? Among the many interesting replies were the following: Mikkel Andreassen (Denmark) writes: Well thats an easy question. Anands style of play is what I prefer. I would call his style universal attacking. He embodies pretty much every aspect of the game: strategic, positional and tactical. He has always been famous for his fast thinking abilities and tactical vision, but in his later years he has developed the other aspects of the game as well I think. A more simple way of summing up Anands and Kramniks differences would be to say that Anand likes to play the game with queens on, Kramnik doesnt! And who doesnt like the queen? Zak Smith (USA) writes: I much prefer the play of Anand. I will outline three reasons:
Fighting Spirit Tactics Asthetic impressions
First off, I am an attacking player, and so the top two reasons are Fight and Tactics. I think they interchange, in that the more tactical games you play (i.e. Shirov, Morozevich, Kasparov, and who can forget Tal), the more fighting spirit you tend to have. So what is fighting spirit? (Aside from the biggest philosophical question in chess.) I would say that on any given day if you came up to Kramnik, Anand, Kasparov, Karpov, or even myself, and asked, Would you like to win, lose, or draw?, you would get the exact same response from each of us, win. However, fighting spirit is in my mind the lengths that a player is willing to go to find a position that contains winning chances, even if this position also contains winning chances for the opponent, and is unclear. As evidenced by the openings chosen by both competitors during the recent World Championship Match, Anand wins in fighting spirit. (Incidentally, he also tends to play more tactically oriented positions, which I like.) As far as aesthetic impressions go, I am also in favor of Anand, but admittedly only slightly. Anand creates the impression of fierceness, which brings about excitement in the kibitzer. However, to be able to squeeze someone as Kramnik can is also a feat, and one which brings about its own sort of awe. It was the match against Kasparov wherein I lost a great deal of respect for Kramnik as far as aestheticism goes. His overall strategy of queen exchange and complicated middlegame took away some of the most beautiful portions of chess (attack and defense of the king) completely, merely for a match strategy. I will concede that it was effective, but in my mind it will always go down as wuss chess, and leave a bad taste. My attempt to be concise was a complete failure, yet I hope at least I was understandable. Go Anand!! (BP Two very nice answers, and based on results of the match, they apparently knew what they were talking about.)
The Q & A Way is based in large part on readers questions. Do you have a question about preparation, strategy or tactics? Submit your questions (with you full name and country of residence please) and perhaps Bruce will reply in his next ChessCafe.com column.
Yes, I have a question for Bruce!

Three years back, I wrote a similar post enlisting must-have apps for Symbian S60v2 phones. However smartphone and apps scenario has changed drastically since then; very few Symbian apps have stood to the challenges of time and still deserve to be categorized as "must-have". Most others have either lost to competition or disappeared completely (abandoned by developers). Here I have compiled a list of 30+ must-have Symbian apps of 2011 – especially for Symbian^3 (Anna, Belle) phones. These apps relate to many different categories including Mobile browsers, Social networking, entertainment, utilities, system tools etc. Note that the apps have been arranged randomly in the list and numbering does not indicate any order of importance –

Police are looking for two men who held up a convenience store early Thursday morning.
Greenville police say they were responding to an alarm activation at the Kangaroo Express at 1531 Southeast Greenville Boulevard when 911 alerted them that the store had been robbed.
Employees told police around 1:20 a.m. two men came into the store and implied they were armed. They demanded money from the cash register and ran from the store, heading west.
Police say the one robber is described as a black man, approximately 5'6", 160-175 lbs., thin build, and wearing dark clothes. The second robber was also a black man, approximately 5'8", 190-200 lbs., medium build, and also wearing dark clothes.
Anyone with further information about this incident is asked to contact the Pitt-Greenville Crimestoppers at 252-758-7777.

Observer Staff Writer
The Matterhorn is nowhere to be found.
Still, a piece of the European Alps has come to the Anthony Lakes ski area.
It is a new moving sidewalk known as the Wonder Carpet. The 80-foot-long conveyer transports skiers up a gentle ski and snowboarding hill just west of the Anthony Lakes lodge.
Jerry Gomes, a ski lift operator at Anthony Lakes, understands the new lift well. Gomes has seen similar lifts operate successfully for years in the European Alps. Some are used there to transport skiers to runs
"They're very popular,'' Gomes said.
Riding the lift at Anthony Lakes is as easy as stepping on an escalator at a shopping mall. It moves at about the same speed but the hearts of skiers riding it are undoubtedly beating faster than those of shoppers looking for
Terry Edvalson of La Grande, a former ski instructor, believes the new lift gives beginning skiers a timely lift.
"It makes it infinitely easier for the new skier or boarder,'' Edvalson said.
Edvalson taught skiing for many years at Anthony Lakes but is not teaching this winter because he had one of his knees replaced early last year.
"I might have kept teaching in spite of my new knee if I had known they were going to put this in,'' said Edvalson, who now skis successfully with his artificial knee.
Ski instructor Gary Lee of
La Grande has a similar sentiment. He believes it is a good tool for beginning skiers because it is so easy to get on and off.
"Kids seem to love it,'' Lee said.
Skiers and snowboarders sometimes ride the lift almost continuously during Anthony Lakes' operating hours. Many are young beginners, but experienced adults also use it. Many are skiers who are trekking back to the lodge after a day of skiing on Anthony Lakes' more difficult slopes. The lift is a welcome sight to tired skiers, said Jerry Krieg, Anthony Lakes' marketing director.
"At the end of an afternoon of skiing some people don't want to walk up a hill,'' Krieg said. "It gives people an option.''
The new lift is situated on a hill that was not previously used for skiing or snowboarding.
The new lift is the second longest in the Northwest next to a 100-foot one at Willamette Pass, Krieg said. There are five ski resorts, including Anthony Lakes, in Oregon that have Wonder Carpet lifts.
The Wonder Carpet is made by SunKid, a company in Austria. The longest in the world is 400 meters and is located in Gangchon, South Korea.
People riding Anthony Lakes' conveyor lift are advised to lean forward slightly. They should not have loose scarves or other clothing that could get caught. The moment something does get caught the lift shuts down as a safety precaution.
A ticket for a handle tow or regular lift is needed to ride the Wonder Carpet.
The new conveyor complements Anthony Lakes' carousel for beginning skiers. The carousel is situated just west of the Wonder Carpet. Skiers grab on to one of the carousel's moving bars and then are pulled across the snow in circular fashion while learning to slide and turn. The carousel makes it easier to learn fundamentals. It began operating last winter at Anthony Lakes.
The carousel and the Wonder Carpet are all near a handle tow for a small ski and snowboarding hill.
"The handle tow, Wonder Carpet and carousel are all stepping stones for the beginning skier,'' Krieg said.

Solid Helmet
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Comfortable, Functional, and great price!
What more is there to say.
Gets the job done
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Cool looking relatively comfortable helmet. One size doesn't fit all. If your hat size is anything slightly above large DO NOT get this. I have a size large head and it is very snug.
Sometimes simple is best
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
This helmet isn't nearly as fiddly as some of the others on the market, and that's a great thing. The different sizing pads are super easy to tweak, the HOG Lock works great for keeping the helmet snug, and once it's on and setup, it doesn't get a second thought while I paddle. I spend a lot of time upside down in my sea kayak (usually on purpose) and this thing stays put.
Solid, comfortable, and high quality
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
We bought 2 of these, one in flat black and one in carbon black. I wish they had one in red but no big deal. these hats are top quality this is the best hat i have seen for the money. I would buy this again all day long. We have worn these for over 4 hours straight with no problem. I am bald and I had no problem with head irritation. If its hot outside I wear a bandanna under my hat. I am very happy with my hat, by the way I also trad rock climb in mine as well mainly on single pitch.
Shred Ready Super Scrappy Kayak Helmet
Good Helmet
This is a good helmet, the cap in the front is nice and effective in keeping rain out of your eyes. Provides a little shade from the sun. The straps that tighten the helmet slide down behind the ears and pinch a little, so overall a good helmet that my needs as a raft guide.
I wouldn't creek in it.
Good for the money.
Does the job
I am a rookie to kayaking, so this is the first helmet I have ever owned. So far, I say it does the trick. Protects the noggin. The adjustments for the sizing are easy to use. Its light and comfy. I am happy with my purchase.
First rafting trip as a guide
This "One size fits all" doesn't fit!
Here's one head that it doesn't fit.
The helmet is tooooo small...
If you wonder how big my head is, I have a Giro size L snowboard helmet which fits my head just well.
Pool time in WI
Can I use this helmet also for bike ?
Although you "could" I'd suggest not. It has no ventilation.
Want to buy for my boyfriend, but he has...
Want to buy for my boyfriend, but he has a large head. since this does not come in different sizes, is it pretty big?
This helmet comes with interchangeable padding to fit either Small, Medium or Large. The large will fit up to 23.5 inches.

Horseback riding program now provides certified therapy for wounded warriors
November 4, 2010
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- A child with a severe cognitive disability suddenly giggles sitting atop a horse. A teen smiles broadly discovering he can control a 900-pound animal, though his legs were amputated. A spouse whose husband is deployed enjoys the backwoods trails on horseback.
Riding horses has been used as a viable supplement to traditional therapy for physical disabilities, mental and behavioral challenges, including anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and substance abuse for years according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
"Horseback riding is an activity that distracts the mind from the stress that these patients deal with on a regular basis," said Heather Miller, a recreational therapist at Brooke Army Medical Center.
"It gets them out of the clinical setting and into nature, but it also requires them to focus their mind and energy solely on one thing."
Though using horses to help treat a variety of physical and psychological issues has been a part of therapy programs outside the military, the Army only officially recognized equine therapy as beneficial recently, offering wounded warriors an opportunity to participate in the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, Inc.'s "Horses for Heroes" program at Fort Sam Houston; and certifying four therapeutic riding instructors.
Cindy Tripoli, Beth Mann, Connie Blocker and Annie Blakely were certified as therapeutic riding instructors, Oct. 23 after a year-long process that included 24 hours of hands-on mentoring.
The four Equestrian Center employees are the first certified instructors for equine therapy on a military installation.
The equestrian center has been providing recreational riding for Exceptional Family Member Program Families and wounded warriors since 2006. However, there were times they would have to turn away riders due to safety concerns. Certification provides instructors with expertise in safety procedures for riders with the severest challenges seeking therapy.
"We have seen the benefits of recreational riding for wounded warriors, Family members and patrons enrolled in the EFMP," Tripoli said.
"With our certification, we can now do more to safely provide therapeutic riding and facilitate a higher quality of life for persons with a broad range of disabilities."
Part of equine therapy is getting the rider and the horse familiar with each other as well as teaching the rider how to care for the horses. Riders are encouraged to do the majority of the work with supervision including brushing, cleaning hooves and saddling so that horses and riders interact before riding.
Therapy riders are not expected to have experience with horses and many have never been on or near a horse.
"As they learn to become comfortable with their horse, they learn how to relax. These are lessons that they can take back to the clinic," Miller said.
With the establishment of the Fort Sam Houston equine therapy program, the instructors are looking to expand. Tripoli, Mann, Blocker and Blakely are also trained as NARHA mentors, which qualifies them to provide training to other installations.
"There is such a need across the country and we would like to reach out to help other installations develop their own programs and become certified," Mann said, as she prepared for the arrival of a group of wounded warriors for an equine therapy session.
"Our goals are to continue our training and [that the Fort Sam Houston Equine Center's therapy program] be a leader for other military centers by becoming a Premier Accredited Center."
"As the program grows, we are going to need a lot more volunteers," Tripoli said. "Volunteers are always appreciated and we need them to help [walk along with] or lead the horses."
For information about the program, click on the NARHA website at http://www.narha.org. To volunteer, call 210-224-7207.

Even though traveling to the United States in pursuit of higher education is an exciting and rewarding experience, we understand you may be worried about the American culture and way of life. After all, it's a lot different what what you see in the movies and on television.
Our international students have prepared this guide to help you learn what life is like at Keuka College and in the United States.
Classes are usually small, with an average of 20 students per class depending on your major. Professors are respectful and excited about the subjects that they teach; they take the time to learn your name and enjoy being involved in your college experience. Keuka College's professors and staff members create a supportive environment that allows each student to achieve personal and academic goals.
One of the numerous advantages to studying at our Keuka Park campus is the ability to experience four very distinct seasons.
Summer days can occasionally reach the 90s Fahrenheit (30s Celsius) during the day. In the fall, leaves change to a marvelous display of deep reds, yellows, and oranges, and temperatures average in the 50s Fahrenheit (10s Celsius). The winter brings cold weather, sometimes in the single digits (around -20° Celsius) and students enjoy a variety of outdoor recreational activities in the snow. The spring, temperatures average around 65° Fahrenheit (about 18° Celsius).
Americans typically choose to dress comfortably and casually. Good winter clothes are essential, and buying them here is often a better option for those coming from a warmer climate. For special events, such as making a presentation in class, students usually wear business casual or professional attire.
In New York state, the minimum age to consume alcohol is 21; the minimum age for purchasing tobacco products is 18. Smoking is not permitted inside public buildings (including residence halls), bars, or restaurants in the State of New York state. Smoking is permitted outside on the Keuka College campus.
Underage drinking and any form of drug use is not tolerated on the Keuka College campus.
There is always a lot going on at Keuka College, such as screened movies, musicians, hypnotists, minigame shows, bingo, creative activities, sporting events, and much more. For more information on things to do at Keuka College, visit the Web pages of the Office of Student Activities and the Office of Campus Recreation. Keuka College is located in Keuka Park which is two hours and thirty minutes from Niagara Falls, forty minutes from Watkins Glen State Park, and one hour from the world renown Corning Museum of Glass.
If you want to get off campus, the Waterloo Outlet Mall is only 45 minutes away, or the Windmill Market a mere 20 minutes away. For more options, the Rochester area is just an hour drive from Keuka College. The Keuka van takes students to most of these venues each week.
Buying a "pay as you go" cell phone or a cell phone with a contract is something that can be done in the nearby town of Penn Yan, less than a 10 minute drive away.
If you're not interested in buying a cell phone, all Keuka College residence rooms are equipped with a phone jack. If you or your roommates have a landline phone available, you can buy international phone cards from the bookstore to call home.
Calling home may be confusing but to make this seem simpler visit: http://www.howtocallabroad.com
The Keuka van takes students to the nearby town of Penn Yan for free each day. On the weekends, the van makes trips to Canandaigua, Rochester, East View Mall, or the Waterloo Outlet Mall. The shuttle service also goes to and from the Greater Rochester International Airport as well as the Geneva Bus Station for minimal cost.
The United States does not use the metric system—it uses the United States Customary System.
Length is measured by the inch, foot, yard, and mile. Fluids are measured in pints, quarts, and gallons. The temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit, while pounds and ounces are used for weight.

Dial Tones
1997, THE YEAR of electronica's glorious ascension into elevator music, has proved a strangely wonderful period for Americana. The Smithsonian reissued Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. Rounder began releasing an extensive series of prison and field recordings culled by the late historian/archivist Alan Lomax. And now we have a feast of Harry Partch. The CRI label has put together a remarkable four-CD collection of recordings by the obscure, but hugely influential, musician-composer-singer-inventor. Simultaneously, Dr. Phillip Blackburn, of the Minneapolis-based American Composer's Foundation, has assembled Enclosure 3 and 4, an overwhelmingly elaborate scrapbook of Partch minutiae, and a videocassette, which includes a 1971 production of Partch's theater piece, Delusion of the Fury. More recordings will be released as part of the Enclosure series later this year, and 1998 will bring Bob Gilmore's long-awaited biography.
Harry (1901-1974) was no whistling Hillbilly, no toothless mountain dulcimer player--he was a classical musician of all things. But his music is as American as any in its structural petulance; his major invention is a microtonal tuning system so eccentric--packing 43 discrete intervals into an octave!--that he had to construct his own (rather eccentric) instruments to try it out on. He was also a flamboyantly gay persona (long before they started dropping all those double entendres on Friends) and a self-made hobo who criss-crossed America by rail in the 1930s, setting the writings of other train hoppers to music. The clickety-clack of trains is woven throughout his work, along with Chinese folk songs, "Ten Little Indians," and--as with the music of his predecessor Charles Ives--the kitchen sink.
The obvious Amerihistorical touchstone here is Walt Whitman's I'll-keep-singing-about-the-body-electric-until-you-shut-me-up pioneer spirit. Partch believed in a version of the aesthetes' democracy we don't see much of anymore. And this goes some ways toward explaining the political reasons for his interest in odd tuning systems, such as "just intonation," in which the smallest note is next to the largest. His scales contain socio-philosophical properties, the particulars of which he explicates on Enclosure 3 in his American home-spun manner, demonstrating them on his Chromelodeon, a wheezy reed organ of his own invention.
"Well," asks the aging Dinosaur, Jr fan, "what does this man mean to me?" Admittedly, it's been hard to hear Harry in recent years; only a few of his major works have been available on CDs (of varying quality), and some of the CRI issues are going out of print. But his influence will be obvious to anyone who has ever danced around to the bonk, plink, and rattle of a Tom Waits record. Indeed, one might argue that Waits, between piano-bar blowziness and art-opera chic, has cast himself as a hetero-Partch--although Harry preferred more of a bell-like fussiness in the vocal department. One might draw an analogy between Partch and the modern-day lucky kids who get to embrace the loser lifestyle by choice, not proxy; Partch had no trust fund and few patrons. Likewise those who have chosen the DIY and lo-fi roots ethos owe much to Partch, particularly the experimentalist toilers (Tortoise, Jim O'Rourke, Stereolab) who create their own instruments or revive old electronic boxes.
Partch's instruments--with names such as the Boo, the Zymo-Xyl, and the Diamond Marimba--are certainly more impressive than some newfangled rewired tennis racket with a rhythm box. And their presence is almost as theatrical as the aforementioned Partch-authored theater piece, Delusion. In fact, these devices seem to take up as much time on stage as the play's action itself. Delusion's results are mixed. Originally released by Grove Press (distributors of the late-'60s art-porn sensation I Am Curious Yellow), it attempts to evoke Japanese Noh and African folk tales, though Partch's sardonic perversity often lends it a hammer-horror/Halloween feel. It is, for better or worse, a product of the late '60s. But those instruments! They'd fill any pretentious Chicago post-rocker with envy. Right now the original inventions are in the possession of the experimental collective Newband, which performs Partch's work on rare can't-miss occasions.
Despite all the esoterica, the music Partch made through his creations is entirely accessible. Compare him to other "classical" musicians, if you will. Brahms's Lullaby elegantly puts you to sleep; Harry Partch mesmerizes with percussive roundelay, and a dissonant lyricism--as aurally enveloping as any flavor-of-the-month techno-variant or indie-oddity you'd care to name. And it's warmer to boot. A great deal of this music sounds as it it's being performed in your (extremely spacious) living room. And much of the space on these CDs is taken up by readings of his direct, if precious, diary entries--with musical accompaniment, of course. Born later, Partch would have made a living recording books on tape.
Yes, his populism may date him. But is that his fault or our own? His was a "classical" music of the player piano and the pot-bellied stove. Part of his major opera, The Bewitched (volume four of the CRI collection), is an adaptation of the Oedipus myth that takes place in a locker room occupied by a defeated basketball team. Nowadays director Robert Wilson would turn that scenario into a 10-hour opera and hobnob with the society folk afterward. Partch might look askance and say, as he once did, "Life is too precious to spend it with important people."

Brady Williams, the man the world is coming to know thanks to TLC's reality show My Five Wives, is not only a polygamist, but a student majoring in philosophy and currently taking a course of feminist theory.
Are you surprised to hear the man who, as the show's title implies, has five wives considers himself a feminist, as do all of his wives?
Let's pause for a moment here, for a little background on the Salt Lake City family:
Although most associate polygamy with a patriarchal arrangement, Brady Williams won't accept the title "head of the household" according to The Atlantic, because he doesn't like the sexist connotation. The publication continues:
When asked who among them identified as a "feminist," six hands shot up as if propelled by jack-in-the-box springs. For the wives, this brand of feminism involves sleeping with their spouse only every fifth night, consulting their husband's other wives if they want to adopt a child, and—as Rosemary puts it—fighting their own psyches to keep jealousy locked in a cage like the wild animal it is.
Brady insists on striving for equality, and believes it "can exist with more than a man and a wife. That [it] can exist with a man and a wife and a wife and a wife and a wife and a wife."
Check out a clip of My Five Wives:
Though the Williams family used to be a part of a fundamentalist Mormon church, they left eight years ago and are surprisingly open these days.
The Atlantic reports they teach their children that gender doesn't determine a person's value, that girls can be anything boys can be, and that it's okay to be gay — or even have "multiple husbands."
"Whatever form marriage and family comes in, as long as it's about love and commitment, that's okay," Brady said. "Where no one's a victim. Where no one's being compelled to be in it. Consenting adults who love each other should be able to express that in a family setting."
Sounds a lot like my own personal take on things, but not everyone is ready to believe Brady Williams is as open to equality as he says he is.
In a post which responds to his claim to be a feminist with "Nice try, dude," a writer for Slate opines:
It costs one nothing to say that you're just as fine with women having multiple husbands as you are with men having multiple wives. But what would happen if one of the Mrs. Williams actually up and spirit-married another man?
There's five of these women. You can't tell me that none of them ever looks at the empty bed she sleeps in four out of five nights a week and doesn't wonder what it would be like to get some other man in there to warm it up for her. Saying the right thing to an Atlantic reporter is all fine and good, but I'll buy the idea of feminist polygamy when the women start collecting husbands just as they themselves have been collected.
At the risk of being gullible, I disagree.
I'm inclined to believe Williams — him, as well as all the rest of them. If things are as they state, all five of those women are in that relationship by choice, and that's exactly how it should be. Who are we to presume they've "been collected" and are now hoarded?
As I understand it, the adults are saying it's their daughters who could have multiple husbands if they so choose to when they grow up, and the current wives were not a part of that statement. I assume, as with any other adult relationship, the five of them came to an agreement about who is allowed to date and sleep with whomever else before marrying, and they now choose every day to stick to it.
"We've had people ask us, 'If you don't believe you have to live this way, why would you choose it?'" Robyn said during their interview about continuing to be polygamists after leaving their church. "But we've spent years building this family, and every person in it makes it what it is, and why would we throw that away just because we don't believe we have to do it to go to heaven? If you're happy and you're in love, why do something to destroy that just because society thinks you're crazy?"
I don't think Robyn's crazy, or oppressed, or presume she's pining for a snuggle buddy most days of the week. As a matter of fact, I find it commendable this family is standing by their choices while raising their kids to be as open minded as they're asking the public to be now.
A one-hour special about the Williams family aired previously, while regular episodes of My Five Wives are set to kick off this Sunday on TLC.
Do you think it's possible to be both a polygamist and a feminist? Why or why not?
