The President's Top Button
Last night, I criticized the President's fashion choices. Specifically, his top button, which he left undone during a serious, extremely important national address.
Now, in our Forums, astute reader Rone points us to Daily Kos, where photographic evidence shows that the president mis-buttoned his shirt (as in, he was off by a button) and left the top one open to disguise his ineptitude.

Much of this doesn't seem like it can be avoided, but I wondered if there wasn't a way to queue mail for send (using smtp.gmail.com) rather than having to wait for it to send in order to go back to the message list. Anyone know? Thank you!
The solution for me was to switch to offlineimap + msmtp + this in .muttrc:
For anyone with imap performance frustrations with mutt (using gmail or otherwise), offlineimap and these other settings are definitely the way to go.

What do you think? When Carrie goes to the bathroom, did she really know what she was doing when she took the WHOLE bottle,or was it an act driven my her current mental condition? I think she was crazy, and didn't reallize she was taking the whole bottle.
This was an outstanding book. I think that it is a great book for kids because it shows what's right to do!
When I, too, was thirteen, reading this novel made me feel like I was not so alone as I had thought. When I felt like I couldn't identify with anyone my age, I could identify with Carrie. I really enjoyed the ending. So many books documenting teenagers' problems end so pessimistically, but this book gave me hope. I will read it again and again as I grow older. Superb writing and real characters. Good for teenagers and adults alike.

In January and again this month, we took Mahoning County officials to task for being so out of touch with the region's economic condition that they thought nothing of raising the pay of generally well-compensated government workers.
Here's what we said in one of the editorials: "Granting pay raises to public employees in the midst of an anticipated general fund shortfall is arrogant. It says to private-sector taxpayers struggling to make ends meet that their economic well-being is less important than that of public employees."
We have long believed that government payrolls should reflect what's occurring in the private. Why? For the simple reason that government is not self-sustaining; it depends on taxpayer dollars to survive. Almost 80 percent of the operating budget is swallowed up by wages and benefits, which means pay hikes are a sure way to get the public roiled.
That's what happened in January when the county board of elections granted a 3 percent increase to its employees. But in the face of extensive Vindicator reporting that triggered widespread criticism of public sector, the board of elections withdrew the raises.
But then in April, this newspaper again revealed that more than 700 county employees received increases of more than 3 percent in the last two years. They were for a variety of reasons, including pension fixes.
Thus, our condemnation of the decision-makers who see nothing wrong in fattening the wallets of their workers while those in the private sector continue to reel from the national economic recession that began in late 2008.
Against that backdrop, readers will undoubtedly wonder why this newspaper supports the renewal of the 0.5 percent sales tax — Issue 2 on the May 6 primary ballot.
The answer we offer today is the same as it was in May 2010 when this tax was put up for renewal for five years. It expires in September 2015.
"The voters in Mahoning County have it in their power to throw the county into chaos," we said then.
The county collects two half-percent sales taxes, one of which is permanent. The second one up for a vote next month would also be permanent. The change from a five-year to a continuous period is just as controversial as the pay raises granted in the midst of a recession.
We certainly find merit in the argument that having the tax on the ballot every five years forces the county commissioners and other government officials to justify the expenditure of tax dollars to the public.
That said, we believe there's a strong case to be made for permanency. It enables the commissioners, who control the general fund purse strings, to plan for the future and to undertake long-range budgeting. Thirty county departments depend on the general fund, with the criminal justice system — the sheriff's department, the jail, juvenile division and various courts — accounting for more than 70 percent of the $50.2 million general-fund budget for 2014. The two sales taxes generate about $31 million; the rest comes from investment income, the state Local Government Fund allocation and federal funds.
Revenue losses
A comparison of 2008 with 2013 shows that the general fund lost $3.2 million in investment income, $2.9 million in state funding and $4.4 million from housing federal prisoners in the county jail.
We are well aware that if the renewal is turned down in May, the commissioners will be able to place the tax before the voters in November and then in May 2015, if needed.
There's an argument being made that residents should vote "no" next month, thus sending a message to commissioners Anthony Traficanti, Carol Rimedio-Righetti and David Ditzler that a permanent tax is a deal breaker.
Our concern with such thinking has to do with the attitude of the voters. Once residents say "no," it becomes much easier to say it again a second and third time.
The risk of the 0.5 percent sales tax being wiped off the books is just too great.
Readers will remember what occurred in the county when one of the taxes was repealed some years ago. Not surprisingly, the criminal justice system was hardest hit, with the sheriff's department being forced to layoff deputies and close pods in the county jail. The resultant prisoner overcrowding triggered federal lawsuits and judicial consent decrees.
It should be clear by now that renewal of the sales tax is a public-safety issue. Mahoning County cannot risk having to keep criminals on the streets because the jail is short-staffed.
Our endorsement of the renewal, however, should not be viewed as forgiveness for the poor judgment and mismanagement on the part of some officeholder and managers.
We expect the commissioners to lead the effort to fix what's broken, especially the payroll that is the root of the public's anger.
Vote No.
A yes vote will just make it easier for more pay raises to be granted and the fiscal irresponsibility to continue.
Let the Commissioners see that the voters don't appreciate the shenanigans that have occurred during these last few years.
Am I reading from 'the Onion' or the Vindicator??
So once again the taxpayers should TRUST that our elected officials spend the money wisely?
Why not wait till we SEE that elected officials spend our money wisely, and then grant them the tax money.
With all these pay increases the Mahoning County Commissioners have granted, it is clear they cannot be trusted to manage our tax money.
My family and I will be voting NO on all tax issues on the ballot. We will also be voting against any incumbent who is running for any office. It's time for new people will new and fresh ideas. I'm getting really tired of supporting others. If they don't like their job they can go get another one .I' m sure there are people who would who like their jobs. I would like to keep some of my HARD EARNED money for my family and I for once.
We voters gave the county one of the two levies that funds it a permanent levy. They have income they can depend on. We voters want some measure of control over the other half. This was made clear when the permanent levy was passed. If anything, recent performances by elected and appointed officials have made it more obvious than ever that we need to retain control over the purse strings.
Sorry, Mahoning County. You're giving us an ultimatum with this "Permanent or else" levy. Be ready to deal with the fall out.
Including myself, I dont know a single person in the private sector that pays 25% towards their healthcare. Where does that fake number come from? Every person i know in the private sector pays between 5% and 15% of their health care costs.
JustThink123 I recommend you do a little research, below is a short excerpt from a article in the New York Time that I have supplied the link to.
Employees paid, on average, about 23 percent of total premium costs last year, and are expected to pay nearly a quarter in 2013, as companies take steps to control their costs. In terms of paycheck deductions, this translates into an average employee contribution of $2,658 to premiums in 2012. That is expected to rise to $2,888 in 2013 — an increase of nearly 9 percent in one year.
Just Say'in, a little research goes a long way.
I would also like to remind the Vindy that the original plan by the county commissioners was to not only make the 2nd 1/2 percent sales tax permanent but to also add an additional 1/4 percent sales tax on top of the other two until they heard all the rumbling under their feet.
Only to then rescind the 1/4 percent to make sure that they can get the other passed and to have it permanent, and then we all know what would happen in the fall, they would be then asking again for that same 1/4 percent sales tax that they say they so desperately need. But do they really need it.
I also need to point out that this 1/2 percent sales tax does not expire until 2015 so I really do not have any idea why this should even be on the ballot at this time. Or they hedging their bet that a low voter turnout will ensure easy passage, maybe they forget that the vast majority of citizens have not seen raises like they have enjoyed and will defeat this tax completely for being so arrogant.

I am running my very first 1/2 next Saturday (Country Music 1/2). Last weekend on my 10 mile run I found I had a blood blister under a callus on my big toe on my left foot. I did not pop it and it seemed to go down -- just the blood remained under the callus (it wasn't a blister anymore). I ran 7 today and the blood blister came back a little. I used moleskin but it's just slightly tender to the touch now.
I just can't decide if I should try and remove part of the callus or if that will just lead to more soreness.
I would leave it alone. It doesn't sound like it's bothering you much and it would just complicate matters trying to remove it. If the callus was likely to come off easily, the moleskin would have done it. Keep it padded and you should be OK.

Due to Hurricane Sandy and subsequent school closings, Section 9's five football championships have been rescheduled and now will be played at Kingston's Dietz Stadium.
The finals in Classes AA, A, B, C and D were set for Friday and Saturday at Dietz and Middletown's Faller Field. They will now be played on Saturday and Sunday.
"We had to make a choice to play soccer and football each at one venue," said David Coates, Middletown's athletic director and the Section 9 football co-chairmen. "This allows the soccer games to be played at Faller and alleviates some of the scheduling. I think it helps all sports and just makes sense. Especially since a lot of schools might be closed on Wednesday."
The Class A championship, pitting Wallkill and Cornwall, has been pushed back two days — from Friday to Sunday. The AA, B and D games are one day later. Monroe-Woodbury vs. Pine Bush (Class AA) will be on Sunday along with Spackenkill against Marlboro in the Class B championship. Originally set for Friday, Chester takes on Eldred in the D championship on Saturday.
James I. O'Neill vs. Liberty in the C championship remains on Saturday, though, before the schedule overhaul it was set for Faller Field.
"To me, it is what it is. You can't control the weather," said Cornwall coach Marcus Hughes. "I think our kids would be ready to play any day of the week. But it's good to have a few extra days of practice. Everyone wants to put a quality team on the field and this gives you the opportunity."

I registered a new domain with 1&1 today and would like to structure it as a blog via wordpress. I asked the support @ 1&1 if I could do that, and they had no idea. Is it possible to use a domain hosted with 1&1 and create a wordpress blog?
If so, how?

that was very good for one week and thanks the people who made fun of the emo kid deserved to die emo's are awsome im not emo but emos are kwl aanyways it was awsome
I watch all the flashes and everything ended in someone dying or something you guys are pretty violent. I was expecting more of Hylian_Mafia just because I seen most of his work although the best would be Oouch's part.
The concept of the flash was great just how it is set up is pretty wierd. Hopefully the second one will be much better than this...
Yeh, the death endings came from me putting it in my part, and others in the collab liked the idea.
There won't be a second one. Two people joined, and neither showed work on thier parts.
i really think it lacked a lot.
WHY is the only real violence a random blood spurt on the screen. No one actually depicted hitting teachers, its just a spurt of blood on the screen.
Hylian mafia did it, but it was in horrible quallity.
animations were very poor. almost every one of them.
Well, we only had a week to make this in. Would you like to have a go at that?
Not too shabby
I agree with the last fellow, Not the idiot but the other one. The last two were pretty good. And, I understand the theme was, school. But, what was with all the, "Kill the other person in the end" School and violence?
Props to the idea though, I'm interested to see more of them.
Yeh, the whole "killing someone" sparked from my part, and it's made it's way into other peoples parts.
Yeh, the second one would be hitting the portal tomorrow but not enough people joined, and those who did join didn't do much for their parts. Oh well, nevermind.
That was horrible.
It was filled with gay teenage angst and had no point.
And if something has no point it should at least look good.
Ok then. Would you mind trying to come up with something that has a point and animating it, all in one week?

Absorption, Relaxation, and Imagery Instruction Effects on Thermal Imagery Experience and Finger Temperature
Date: December 1986
Creator: Durrenberger, Robert Earl, 1951-
Description: A skill instruction technique based on cognitive behavioral principles was applied to thermal imagery to determine if it could enhance either subjective or physiological responsiveness. The effects of imagery instruction were compared with the effects of muscle relaxation on imagery vividness, thermal imagery involvement, and the finger temperature response. The subjects were 39 male and 29 female volunteers from a minimum security federal prison. The personality characteristic of absorption was used as a classification variable to control for individual differences. It was hypothesized that high absorption individuals would reveal higher levels of imagery vividness, involvement, and finger temperature change; that imagery skill instruction and muscle relaxation would be more effective than a control condition; and that the low absorption group would derive the greatest benefit from the imagery task instruction condition. None of the hypotheses was supported. Finger temperature increased over time during the experimental procedure but remained stable during thermal imagery. The results suggest that nonspecific relaxation effects may best account for finger temperature increases during thermal imagery. Results were discussed in relation to cognitive-behavioral theory and the characteristic of absorption.

Absorptive Capacity: An Empirical Examination of the Phenomenon and Relationships with Firm Capabilities
Date: May 2012
Creator: Daspit, Josh
Description: The field of strategic management addresses challenges that firms encounter in an attempt to remain competitive. The ability to explain variation in firm success through examination of knowledge flows has become a prominent focus of research in the strategic management literature. Specifically, researchers have sought to further examine how firms convert knowledge, a phenomenon conceptualized as absorptive capacity. Absorptive capacity is the firm's ability to acquire, assimilate, transform, and exploit knowledge. Few studies have captured the richness and multi-dimensionality of absorptive capacity, and it remains to be understood how the dimensions of the phenomenon convert knowledge. Furthermore, how absorptive capacity influences the firm remains to be understood. To address these research gaps, this dissertation seeks to (1) determine how absorptive capacity converts knowledge, and (2) determine how absorptive capacity influences firm capabilities. The research questions are investigated using structural modeling techniques to analyze data collected from software-industry firms. The findings offer contributions to the absorptive capacity and capability literatures. For example, absorptive capacity is hypothesized to consist of complex relationships among its internal dimensions. However, findings of this study suggest the relationships among the dimensions are linear in nature. This finding is in line with the theoretical foundations of and ...

Academic Achievement and the Ability of Post-Secondary Students to Read Assigned Materials
Date: August 1987
Creator: Cohick, Mikel William
Description: This study provides a rationale for adopting course materials. It demonstrates the relationship between ability to read assigned materials and academic achievement, and that selection of materials creates two groups having different probabilities of success. The sample was selected from a population of all students enrolled in Principles of Economics courses at North Texas State University in the spring semester of 1986. The Nelson-Denny Reading Test was used to determine reading ability. Assigned materials were analyzed for readability. A frustration level was determined and used to divide the sample: the group of interest, those with reading abilities below the frustration level who underwent the treatment of reading materials written above their ability to comprehend; and the comparison group, those with reading abilities above the frustration level who did not undergo the treatment.

Academic Achievement of National Social Fraternity Pledges Compared to Non-Fraternity Students
Date: August 1990
Creator: Gardner, Kent Lee
Description: This study examined the academic achievement of national social fraternity pledges compared to non-fraternity students at the University of Texas at Arlington. It was done to determine whether significant differences existed between the grade point averages of pledges of social fraternities and those of students who did not pledge a social fraternity, and to determine whether significant differences existed among fraternities when compared with each other with respect to academic achievement. This study was meant to provide a research design that could be used by other colleges and universities with fraternities to conduct the same comparison of academic performance. In the fall semester of 1989, 164 pledges were selected as the population for the study to be matched with non-fraternity students based on Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores, age, sex, classification, academic major, and number of hours attempted. A T-test of like groups was performed on the entire population with no significant difference found at the .05 level between all the fraternity pledges and all the matched pairs. A T-test of like groups was performed on the pledges from each separate organization and there was a significant difference among three of the fraternities. Two of the fraternities had significantly higher ...

Academic Advising Professional Characteristics and Standards: Do Academic Advisors Follow Recognized Professional Standards in Their Work?
Date: May 2014
Creator: Shelton, Kiesha R.
Description: There were two main purposes of this quantitative study. The first purpose was to identify characteristics associated with the selected sample of academic advisors that comprise study. Secondly, the study sought to determine how well work related activities of a selected population of academic advisors correlate with professional characteristics constructs and professional standards constructs of academic advising as a profession. The study used Habley's (1986) characteristics of a profession to derive the studies professional characteristic construct, education activities, research activities, and professional development activities as it relates to a selected group of academic advisors work related activities. The studies professional standards construct was derived from five Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) professional standards for academic as it relates to a selected group of academic advisors work related activities. The study of 78 out of 210 identified full-time academic advisors at two-and four-year public colleges and universities in the North Texas Region utilized a multidimensional researcher-developed Web survey instrument designed to measure professional standards and characteristic within the field of academic advising. Study results reinforced current criticism of research and education activities within the field of academic advising showing that the lack of scholarly research and education activities among ...

The Academic and Athletic Experiences of African-american Males in a Division I (Fbs) Football Program
Date: December 2013
Creator: Salinas, Silvia M.
Description: This study investigated the academic and athletic experiences of African-American males in a Division I football bowl subdivision football program. Critical race theory, identity development model, and social learning model were the theoretical frameworks used as the critical lenses in a qualitative design to examine the participants. The participants' responses were analyzed and interpreted using thematic analysis. A qualitative research design, which included individual interviews with 10 second year African-American male football players, was used to address this research problem. The goal was to bring together both the psychological and sociological perspectives and to challenge participants to candidly describe their academic and athletic experiences and attitudes toward obtaining an undergraduate degree. Four themes were determined in the data analysis: differential treatment and determining oneself, time management, relationships, and career aspirations. In relation to the theoretical frameworks, the development of self-confidence and knowledge of balancing their academic and athletic schedules was critical for all participants. The sense of feeling different and challenged because of the differences in culture and experience was evident. From this study, university and collegiate athletics administrators may better understand the backgrounds, challenges, and learning needs of this population. As a result, higher education personnel may improve the ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The design team responsible for presenting options for creation of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) HR system, today, released its final report of 52 design options to the Senior Review Committee. Director of the Office of Personnel Management, Kay Coles James, praised the team members, "The design team has done excellent work identifying a broad range of human resource options in the areas of pay, performance, labor-management relations, discipline and appeals. This information will be invaluable as we continue the process of fulfilling our mandate to establish a world class personnel system that will best enable the Department of Homeland Security to protect America while at the same time protecting Merit System principles." The design team consists of employees and managers from DHS, technical experts from OPM and DHS and employee representatives from DHS.
The Senior Review Committee is comprised of top leaders from OPM and DHS, presidents of the three largest national employee unions represented within DHS and experts in the field of public administration who serve as technical advisors. The committee will meet publicly in late October to develop a final set of options that will be presented to Director James and Secretary Tom Ridge. The Director and Secretary will then issue proposed new personnel rules for the Department for public comment and close consultation with employee groups before final rules are issued early next year.
The design team conducted a series of meetings in 10 cities across the nation. In the cities visited, a "town hall" meeting was held with representatives from OPM, DHS and federal employee unions, followed by a robust question-and-answer session. After each town hall meeting, six smaller focus groups were conducted to gather a more detailed understanding of the concerns and suggestions of DHS employees and managers.
OPM, DHS, and union leaders repeatedly praised the cooperative working relationship fostered throughout the design process. James stated, "This process is a model for how management and labor can work together with mutual respect even though there may be real policy differences. The hallmark of any open process is to agree on a core set of principles that include civil discussion and strong relationship. I believe this process has encouraged both."
The Government Accounting Office has reviewed the process for designing the DHS HR system and has recently released the report, DHS Personnel System Design Effort Provides for Collaboration and Employee Participation, which can be found at http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d031099.pdf.
Our mission is to Recruit, Retain and Honor a World-Class Workforce to Serve the American People. OPM supports U.S. agencies with personnel services and policy leadership including staffing tools, guidance on labor-management relations and programs to improve work force performance.

Matt Harvey's Yankee Buddy
On Tuesday, a University of North Carolina pitcher with an ERA just above 1.00 will suit up at Citi Field for that night's Mets-Yankees game. And Matt Harvey can't wait to see him.
Harvey, the Met phenom with the 1.93 ERA, will take the mound for the Mets on Tuesday, the main attraction of this week's Subway Series. But he will do it knowing that his old college teammate, quiet Yankee Adam Warren, has bragging rights: Warren, the Yankee long reliever, comes into the series with a 1.14 ERA.
Reminded that he is winning the ERA battle with his more-heralded former teammate, Warren broke into a perfect aw-shucks grin.
"Well, he's thrown a few more innings than I have," Warren said.
True enough. Harvey's 70 innings easily lap Warren's 23.2, and nobody is buying Adam Warren jerseys in bulk. Harvey has earned all of the attention he has received—the Sports Illustrated cover, the legions of adoring Met fans, the circuslike atmosphere for his starts—but the Met ace is conscious that he may not have gotten there without Warren's help.
Warren was a junior when Harvey arrived at Chapel Hill, a big-time prospect with a power arm. It was 2008, and Warren had established himself as a rotation mainstay after a dominant sophomore season. He was a polished pitcher, but one lacking Harvey's natural gifts. Warren saw the potential in the hard-throwing Harvey, and tried to help him harness it—advising the inconsistent freshman on the need to pound the strike zone consistently. Harvey remains grateful.
"The biggest thing was throwing strikes," Harvey said. "He obviously did that with tremendous success. I came in as a freshman, and I didn't quite throw as many strikes as I wanted to, and that was his biggest advice to me: go after guys, use the lower half of the zone, and throw strikes."
Meanwhile, Warren has put his own advice to good use in the majors, blossoming into an important piece of the Yankee pitching staff. Warren has excelled in the long man's role this season, routinely throwing three to four scoreless innings at a stretch to keep the Yankees in games after their starter has left due to either ineffectiveness or injury.
"It is exciting, but it's only late May—we've still got a lot of games left," Warren said.
The Yankees made Warren a fourth-round pick in 2009, and he came up through the minors as a starter. He made the team's bullpen out of spring training, but he still pitches like a starter, mixing all of his pitches to great success, said catcher Chris Stewart.
"He's got a two-seam fastball, curveball, slider, and changeup," Stewart said. "I think what makes him so effective out there is that he comes in throwing strikes with all his pitches. It's not just one pitch. He comes in with four good pitches—he's basically a starter coming out of the bullpen, throwing four quality pitches, which you just don't see."
If Warren can sustain his success, he could essentially follow the path of his friend David Phelps, who played the long man's role last year before breaking into the Yankee rotation this year.
Harvey loves the success his ex-teammate is having, and was delighted at the thought of the two ex-Tar Heel pitchers making it big in New York.
"He's an awesome friend, he was an awesome teammate—obviously anytime any Carolina guys are having success, you're excited," Harvey said.
"With Adam here in New York, and me here with the Mets, it's huge."

They all look the same and have lost the "Wonder how they ride? Sure are 'spensive so they gotta go fast" appeal. Thankfully the dudes that bought 'em at full pop found out that they only rode as good as the shape and the durability and resale value they thought they were purchasing was a myth. Those $399 boards were probably the pro model chips no one wants or can ride except Taj B. Many of the earlier ones turned really brown on the rack too. The fat shapes seem to move some still. But just because you can afford to pull up to the beach in a Ferrari doesn't mean you can drive one very well. And if you can't peoples will laugh and point, not a good way to get chicks IMO. I like the sloppy colored Campbells better. They look kind of backyardy. Then everyone will only just shake their heads and give a hearty "Bless his heart" instead of laugh at me when I crash.

the glass job looks god awful. you can see the cloth where the sanding went wrong. who knows, maybe it's some kind of fancy proprietary construction, or maybe the glasser indulged in too many bong rips before work that day. either way, i'd laugh at the price and move on.

If it's an established local brand, I'm guessing they're just trying the raw/distressed relic look. Don't know why companies do this dirty "relic" look because it doesn't seem very popular on surfboards (kinda like the McRib: it's disgusting, but keeps popping up every year or so). Maybe the shop has some sort of contract with Cannibal that they have to charge full price...if it doesn't sell, it'll probably end up on the internet at discount. I wouldn't buy a board that looked like that.

If you have proof that other pro companies are selling boards like that, please upload comparison photos. I'd love to see them.

This is probably a response to the whole, "stop buying pop outs, find a local shaper, or shape your own" movement. Kind of like the anti firewire.

It looks like they are teaching someone how to use colored resin. Or trying out new pigments. Something like that.

Cannibal has been around since the early 90's, if not earlier. Well established label and shaped in Florida. While this board may not be appealing to you (or me), it was meant to look like this. I've seen a few shapers use this unfinished look before. Usually hit-or-miss in the eyes of the buyer and I'm sure this board will be gone the next time you go back.
\nLongboard House runs a pretty tight ship. They probably sold through their inventory over the holiday season and/or you caught them in between shipments. Did you ask them about the board? Or why it's priced at $699?

Just got off the phone with LH. The board is vacuum bagged by CoreVac Composites in Melbourne, Florida. Doesn't explain the artwork, but you won't have to worry about dinging this tank!

Unfortunately all of the Cannibal boards on their rack looked like this. Take a look at the photo, you'll see the board in the background suffers from the same shortcomings.
Oh I agree... I believe that the boards will be gone relatively quickly, but I disagree why they'll have left. I don't think it's because they sold to a customer. I think it'll be because they were bought/sent back to the manufacturer.
"Unfinished" matte finish is one thing we're all familiar with, so flawed construction is something completely different and easily recognizable.

Bro, you know you can reply to all 5 of those posts in a single post. You click the bottom right quotations plus sign icon for each post you want to quote. I get lazy and respond to singular posts when I could double them up sometimes but 5 bro, that's like listening to one of my monologues circa last spring. Painful for the reader! I've come to realize that.
Anywayz, what did that stick weigh? I def think it will get scoffed at by most but sell off the shelf quick to someone who likes standing out for whatever reason and into novel items. Can't argue too much with a more indestructible board than most of us ride. How good is that primo glass job looking on a CI after it's kissed a reef a few times and you've mishandled it between the house and truck?

Dang, I think they look pretty badass. If yall haven't noticed there is a trend in color work these days on surfboards and I think these guys are a being a little bit bandwagonesque. Seems some board builders are into the sloppy "throw some color at it" look these days and I kind of like it. Is it the hipster influence, don't look like you care to much or you won't be cool? Those lost... free lap resin color jobs look real cool. The Panda shortboard things have some of that going on too with some sanded through colored hotcoats. Seen Rusty's painted foam slop colors here and there in strange hues like burgs and baby crap greens to mimic the resin color jobs with not a single piece of masking tape being used. And if they are that multi layer glass vacumed down to a rocker template style like the Coil pieces then they are a good product, long lasting and springy- but maybe to bouncy and a little chattery like the Surftechs ride IMHO. And that matte look turns shiny after the first wax and surf leaving them pretty smooth because no doubt it is a fairly fine grit sand job. Rock on Cannibal dudes.

Economic value = What someone (who knows nothing about surfing) is willing to pay. If I can sell the two remaining fins in an old set to some idiot for $300, that's their relative economic value. Anyone interested in some mis-matched fins?

Is this the worst (new) surfboard you've ever seen in a surfshop??? Melbourne FL
While visiting some friends, I decided to pay a visit to Longboard House (http://www.longboardhouse.com/) in Melbourne Beach Florida last week, and I was astonished at the lack of quality of a few of their new, fully priced, out in the open, surfboards.
This surfboard shop has always been one of my favorites, fully stocked with really choice apparel and equipment. That's why I am so shocked by their decision to sell these crappy surfboards. Take a look at my attached photo and you'll see the incredible high price and super low build quality. Take a look at the color variation, the sanded through glass, etc.
My only thoughts are that either Cannibal Surfboards has off-shored manufacturing to China or Longboard House is trying to give a bad shaper/glasser a start in the industry. I think the Made in USA label is probably bull sh#t. But that still doesn't explain the crazy $700 price.
I Googled Cannibal Surfboards and Matt Kechele's factory came up. What's that about?
In all the years I've been in surfing I've never seen something so egregious. Be careful if you're looking to purchase a surfboard from Cannibal.
Is this the worst rip-off you've ever seen????

Read an Excerpt
Amaze Us, O God!
The life we start with comes from others but the life we live is molded by our own hands. God is a remarkable sculptor—He wants to help you.
Allow Him to remove your sharp edges and excess burdens by asking Him to "Amaze Us, O God!"
Over thirty years ago, Alex Haley wrote the best seller Roots, tracing the ancestral struggle of his family from Africa to America. In so doing, he reintroduced an entire generation to the plight of slavery and perhaps as an unintended consequence, stirred many thousands from all races to search out their own genealogical histories. We each have a spiritual genealogy that is every bit as interesting and formative as our natural lineage.
Life itself is amazing and provides remarkable material for each one of us to tell our unique chapter of His-story. Those who came before us, for better or worse, have left us with the foundation upon which our lives are built. Regardless of whether or not we value or appreciate the particular groundwork that was laid for us by others, our life is the result of how we have built upon that foundation.
You've heard the expression "He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth," meaning someone was given many material advantages. Well, maybe you realize, as I do, that far more than material blessings, the greatest advantage any of us can have are ancestors, and parents in particular, who instill in us a thirst for God and the miraculous. But even if they did not, through our roots we can trace amazing events, whether we perceive them to be good or bad, that have the potential to unlock understanding in our lives.
We have a divine heritage given by God. We also have a heritage that comes from our ancestors. A heritage is literally the things that we inherit from our ancestors. This heritage is composed less of material things and more of the experiences, culture, values, and especially the faith that we inherit from those who have gone before us.
I grew up in a family that believed in a God who was near. He was a God who was willing, and indeed even eager, to participate in our lives in a very present and active way. My parents had no problem believing in and receiving the miraculous.
I was just a young boy when I started hearing incredible stories and seeing irrefutable miraculous occurrences. These events caused me to ask questions and search for answers. I would ask myself questions like "Why do supernatural events occur at one place or time and not in another?" "Do these things just happen, or are they released by something we do or by some understanding we have?" "Are there keys to understanding and utilizing the amazing power of God that, if we understood them, would give us continual access between the natural and spiritual worlds?"
I was just a young boy when I started seeing irrefutable miraculous occurrences.
At a very young age I began learning about the amazing workings of the Spirit from stories my parents told me from firsthand accounts of miraculous testimonies and from my own personal witness. As a young boy I remember sitting in small clap-siding churches, in our farmhouse and neighborhood houses, and around smoky campfires and seeing God touch people in unbelievable ways. The following event is as clear to me now as it was the day I first witnessed it . . .
I watched my aunt Ruth closely as she scurried around my grandmother's kitchen helping finish preparations for Thanksgiving dinner. She was a phenomenal cook and was always chipper and happy. Her back was as straight as an arrow, and her gait strong and aggressive.
My mother and grandmother took turns shooing me into the other room. We had come for a visit, and my curiosity about the things I had heard compelled me to seek further evidence. There were lots of cousins to play with whom I hadn't seen in a while, but I was determined to see if Aunt Ruth limped when no one was watching.
The family story had been told over and over again about how Ruth, my daddy's sister, had been in a terrible buggy accident when she was fifteen years old. The horses became spooked by a thrashing machine and ran away, dragging her helpless body hundreds of yards under the overturned buggy as it scraped and bounced against the stony ground.
My grandfather Benjamin Hanby would often tearfully describe how his daughter's body was grossly twisted and her back terribly deformed. So serious was her accident that her right leg withered to the point that only the ball of her foot could reach the floor.
In a grotesque fashion, she would limp along as she did her daily chores. The incessant pain from that accident remained with her as she took care of my ailing grandmother and two younger brothers, one of whom would one day become my father.
On top of my aunt's accident, Grandma had been sent home from the hospital with six months to live after having two-thirds of her stomach removed because of chronic bleeding ulcers. With few material resources, the family was struggling and leaned heavily on their neighbors and the church community of the little Methodist church in Bruno, Ohio, where my grandfather was a steward.
This comfort was short-lived, however, because the family was asked to leave the church due to Ruth's "activities" during the worship services. In this case at least, the adage "trouble comes in threes" seems to have held true.
It was not that the church was being intentionally hurtful or inconsiderate; they just didn't understand what was happening—nor did my relatives, for that matter. My grandparents held no animosity over their removal, for they knew how fear and lack of understanding can cause people to do things they later regret.
It happened mostly when the congregation sang, and always when they sang "Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me." Ruth would fall out of her pew and begin babbling in a rather incoherent language. Everyone blamed the accident, and some diagnosed her as having epilepsy.
Often the amazing power of God tests our understanding and our will to adjust to the voice of God. Aunt Ruth, however, vowed that during those "spells" her body would become pain-free. No one really understood what was happening, but the entire family continued to pray for my grandmother and Ruth and to trust God.
It was during those lonely days that my grandfather's brother, Great-uncle Clint, rode up to the old farmhouse and announced that a makeshift shelter called a brush arbor had been set up in his front yard. A traveling minister had come to the area and was preaching that Jesus was still healing sick folks and filling them with His Spirit—"just like in the Bible." Then he added, "And I think we know what's wrong with Ruth!"
My desperate grandfather loaded the whole family, including my dying grandmother, into a wagon and drove the team of horses seventeen miles over the rutted dusty road to Uncle Clint's farm. There was a real excitement and anticipation from what they had been told.
They lifted Ruth out of the wagon, and when her feet touched the ground, her back instantly became straight and her right leg lengthened and became normal. She immediately had one of her "spells," which witnesses claimed to be the baptism of the Holy Ghost!
When her feet touched the ground, her back instantly became straight and her right leg lengthened and became normal.
My grandmother was also instantly healed and lived for another sixty-two years—she was ninety-nine when she died. These amazing miracles introduced our family to the wonderful world of the supernatural.
Now, forty-five years later, I kept sneaking into the kitchen with an eye on Aunt Ruth because I wanted to make sure it was real, and it was: she never limped or had pain from her accident since the day she was healed at that meeting on my great-uncle Clint's farm.
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people.—Acts 5:12
God is a God of signs and wonders. In fact, many of the things He does fit under one of these two areas. Though many do not see because they no longer look, God is always speaking through an abundance of signs and wonders.
Signs are God's pointing device. Like a road sign pointing out the direction to a destination or providing information about the trip, so are God's signs. They give us information about how to connect to God and His manifold blessings.
God's wonders cause us to wonder. Some miraculous event occurs or some, as yet unclear, occurrence takes place, and we wonder what it means. Like the Virgin Mary when the angel pronounced, "Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28), this miraculous occurrence caused Mary to wonder what all this meant.
God did great, notable miracles for my aunt and grandmother, but His purpose was not just to heal them but also to give direction to their lives and understanding to their purpose, and to set in motion an order of events that was to affect the entire family and the life of those, like myself, yet unborn.
God not only did these things for my relatives but wants to do similar things for you as well. He is in the business of blessing you with the intent that you may know Him and gain understanding of who He is and how He acts. I asked myself, Why did this happen at my uncle's house and not at my grandparents' farm? Why were they healed when they touched the ground? Why at that time and in that place?
This miraculous incident got me wondering about how and why and in what manner the God of the universe interacts with His creation. Is it possible that there are spiritual keys that, if understood, would unlock the amazing power of God for each of us? I believe there are. But before we proceed to look at those, let's talk for a moment about the nature of signs and wonders.
This miraculous incident got me wondering about how the God of the universe interacts with His creation.
Insights into Spiritual Portals: Signs and Wonders
Most of us, from time to time, look for signs. We want some external indication or confirmation of what we are to do, or that we are on track with some aspect of life. In and of itself there is nothing wrong with this as long as our ultimate goal is not the sign itself. If the sign becomes our ultimate goal, then we become lost in the sign and lose sight of what it was meant to confirm or what instruction it was to provide. We are not meant to live our life as sign-seekers. To do this is contrary to spirituality, and people who engage in sign-seeking open themselves up to the bondage of doubt and fear.
I once knew a married couple who would do nothing unless they saw a sign. If, for example, they thought they should take a trip to Kentucky, they would not go until the name of the state was given to them at least three times. It might be by hearing Kentucky on the radio or having someone mention the name to them in casual conversation. Their ability to hear the voice of God became lost in their reliance upon signs. Their entire life became dependent upon discovering some sign, and this fostered great fear and doubt in understanding or sensing God absent of signs, many of which were fabrications of their own mind. They of course are not alone in this. In fact many religions use external evidences of perceived blessing, financial success, number of members, notoriety, or social influence as signs that they are in the will of God. Sign-seekers will always find some sign, imagined or otherwise, that will support their desired results. But if we seek God above signs, we will have signs that bring confirmation and witness of God.
Many, as in the example above, look for signs from God. "I want a sign to know if I should take a job," or "I want a sign to know if I should marry this person." There is nothing wrong in desiring confirmation from God about important decisions in our lives. We can think of most miraculous signs, however, not so much as signs from God as signs of God. By that I mean that they reveal some aspect of God that should make us wonder and desire Him as opposed to being merely excited about something we've experienced. God is always manifesting Himself in our world to those who are able to see that these manifestations are signs of His love, His nature, His intention, His wisdom, and so forth—in short, signs of God. They give us instruction as to who and what He is and attest to or confirm His presence in our lives.
Jesus in Matthew 16:4 said, "A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign." Literally, they seek one sign upon another. Yet God does provide many signs throughout Scripture, as in Mark 16:20, where it states, "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following."
God will confirm Himself and His word to each of us with signs.
In the story of my ancestors, the portal to their need was also a sign and a confirmation of God's word. My aunt and grandmother were not seeking a sign. They believed in God and had great physical needs. My Aunt Ruth's episodes in church and her and my grandmother's instant healing upon touching the ground on my uncle Clint's farm were signs of God's presence and confirmation of God's activity in their day.
Often things happen to us that we don't instantly understand. This is where wonder comes in. We need to see our lives in relation to God's purpose for us. Events that happen to us should spur us into contemplating God's love for us. My aunt and grandmother suffered some very difficult trials, but the end result was that God delivered them. This was not only a sign to them of His love and power but to the entire family and to myself, who was yet unborn at the time of these events. Having confidence in God through difficult circumstances will open for you a portal of deliverance as it did for them. They could have refused to get into the wagon. They could have said, "We've prayed enough, and we never get an answer." Yet regardless of their circumstances, they stayed true to what they knew of God. They were not seeking a sign and would have stayed true to their belief regardless of whether or not they were healed, but their belief and the timing of God's purpose did open an amazing portal for them, and it can for you as well.
Having confidence in God through difficult circumstances will open for you a portal of deliverance.
Personal Application
If God's desire is to amaze you so that you may gain knowledge of Him and grow in relationship, then you and not He must make the adjustment to encourage these things to happen. A few simple thoughts provided at the end of each chapter can open you to the amazement of God.
At one time I remember thinking, I'd like to return to that place in central Ohio where these and many other mighty things took place. Maybe there was something about that place. Don't we all at times desire to relive especially happy or significant moments?
This thought was not unlike those of the woman at the well in the Gospel of John who had an encounter with Jesus that changed her life. She also was wondering about the place where God could be found. Jesus, in essence, said that it is not in a physical location but from a spiritual position that God can be accessed.
Think about a significant occurrence from the life of your parents or one of your ancestors. Recount it as fully as possible with as much detail as you can. Then ask yourself some questions:
Why did this happen to them?
How did they deal with the event and its aftermath?
In what ways did this event change them?
In what ways did this event eventually influence your life, even if you were not alive when it took place?
How was God in the event?
Then pray this simple four-word prayer: Amaze me, O God.
It is hard to know where you are going if you don't understand where you've come from. In your past you possess significant insights for your future. Amazing things happen when you ask to see the hand of God in everything, even the smallest things.
Amaze us, O God, by the power of heritage!
