Kentwool Skinny Low Profile Golf Sock - Womens
The "Skinny" is designed specifically for women with slender or narrow heels. Women with a long Achilles tendon might prefer this sock as well. The Skinny is designed to maximize a low profile look without slippage or sliding of the sock down into the shoe. This is the performance punch for women who have difficulty with traditional sock styles.
* Though KENTWOOL uses standard sizing, everyone's feet are different. Those on the cusp or with wider feet should consider moving up one size. For shoe sizes outside the matrix, please contact us about our custom sizing program.

On approach to Rwy 05
I just love shooting A330's, and this has to be one of my favourite angles of this superb looking aircraft.
Up close & personal with this A330 as she rotates off of Rwy 23L at Manchester. Seen here as MYT073 to Las Vegas.
Passing the Hotel stands, on the way for a 10R departure.

Wisconsin Finance Committee Takes Away Public Access Rights
The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association and the Wisconsin Conservation Congress are jointly issuing this press statement to express our great concerns and opposition to an amendment to the state budget that was passed by the Joint Finance Committee early last Friday morning as the committee completed its actions on the state budget bill. The above organizations represent over 169 hunting, fishing and trapping groups and hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin sportsmen and women. The groups are united in their request to the Wisconsin Legislature to remove the Stewardship amendment to the state budget.
The Joint Finance Committee budget amendment removed the current requirement in the Stewardship law that lands purchased with Stewardship grants be required to be open for hunting, fishing, trapping and other public recreational uses. This requirement was part of the legislative compromise that reauthorized the Stewardship Fund in the last state budget.
Sportsmen and women worked hard in the 2007-2009 budget process to extend the Stewardship Fund for the years 2010-2020 at $86 million a year. These funds are used to purchase lands for wildlife, fishery, forest, park and natural area purposes. The key provision for sportsmen and women in the carefully constructed compromise that reauthorized the Stewardship Fund in the last budget was that land purchased with Stewardship funds, would, with limit exceptions such as public safety, be open to hunting, fishing, trapping and other outdoor recreational activities.
The middle-of-the-night Joint Finance Committee amendment breaks the legislative agreement with sportsmen and women that the lands purchased with Stewardship funds will be open to hunting, fishing and trapping and other outdoor recreational activities.
Our organizations have been part of a year-long rulemaking process including other conservation organizations, local units of government, and land trusts established by the Department of Natural Resources to implement the public access requirements of the Stewardship fund. DNR is proposing to bring the public access rules to the Natural Resources Board at its June meeting. The budget amendment adopted by the Joint Finance Committee eliminates that whole public involvement process.
The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, the Hunters Rights Coalition, the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association and the Wisconsin Conservation Congress call on the Wisconsin Legislature to keep its commitments to Wisconsin's sportsmen and women and remove the Stewardship amendments that have been added to the current state budget bill.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Here are the next five artists on the countdown, based on your votes for your favorite comic book artists of all-time! Here is the list of all artists featured so far!
I'll give you a sample page for each artist.
105 Sam Kieth – 113 points (3 first place votes)
From his recent Arkham Asylum: Madness graphic novel…
104 Herge – 116 points (1 first place vote)
From Tintin en Amerique (Tintin in America)…
103 Jeff Smith – 117 points (1 first place vote)
From the colorized Bone: Out of Boneville collection…
102 Jae Lee – 119 points
From Inhumans #1…
101 Keith Giffen – 120 points
From Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 4 #2…
Check back tomorrow for the next five writers!
The Inhumans … the characters that Jenkins and Lee made us care about.
Hey, another one from my Top 10! I always did love Giffen's art. This is a great bunch all around, though.
Maybe if the Herge guy keeps working and gets a little better he can crack the top 100 next time.
I had Giffen on my list too. Lists actually. Especially when he went full on gonzo stream of conscience. Lee's not my bag(starting to wonder if I have something against people named Lee), but the rest of these five are really some of my favorites.
It was a disjointed, deliberately annoying and frustrating run in many ways, but I really loved much of Giffen's LSH 5 Years Later . I'm surprised that he didn't finish higher.
Jae Lee is a favorite of mine. It's amazing to see how far his art progressed from Namor to the Dark Tower stuff. In liked his early work, but the second Hellshock series is the point at which he toned down a lot of the '90s-isms in his style and really took off.
I used to get every comic Sam Kieth drew, and still would if not for financial reasons. He has some obvious antecedents, but his work is so warped, distinctive, and vibrant that it stands out from everything else on the stands. I still manage to get his creator-owned work (has he finished My Inner Bimbo yet?). Someday, I'll go back and buy his Batman comics.
Great choices.
Brian, thanks for choosing the Giffen LSH panel with perhaps my favorite exchange ever in a comic book.
"Jo Nah. Then you did survive."
"That's why they call it invulnerability pal."
Wow, five giants here. I can't believe these guys didn't even make the top 100. Lee and Keith made my own top ten, and (as I got into comics during the early 90s boom), they were probably the first two artists that really made me appreciate stylistic eccentricities and the idea that not all comics needed to look like Jim Lee had drawn them. Jeff Smith was considered for my list, and I only left him out because he'd really only drawn one thing… but goddamn doesn't he do it well. And Giffen & Herge- I mean, how can you go wrong with either of them? Maybe the best batch of five creators we'll see outside of the top 50.
I would like to register one small nitpick though: I wish the Jeff Smith sample had been from the non-colorized version. The art was originally meant to be seen in black & white, and I believe that's the way it still looks best.
IIRC I'm one of the first place voters for Sam Kieth, so insert the necessary "can't believe he's so low" complaints. Herge of course, though I'd say that there are plenty of better pages to pick (for starters, any page taking place outdoors, or almost any page done after WWII). And Jeff Smith I also am fond of. Though in all three cases it's more a combination of writing and art that's the big draw, page layouts and stuff like that.
Herge wasn't even in the top 100! what sort of uncultured swine have I associated myself with?
I dunno, once again, I think that we should give credit to the voters for getting Herge this high.
nice to see Keith work on here but would have thought it would be from his jl work. plus love to see the ihhumans show up on here
I was really happy to see Herge on the list at all. My guess is that most of the voters aren't familiar with his work. It will be interesting to see if the movie raises awareness of his work–maybe he'll start moving up the list if the movie is a hit.
Bone is Smith's biggest hit, but RASL has been a lot of fun too. Given his track record I'll check out anything that he draws.
So far the 100-125 list has been much more interesting than the most popular choices.
Have to agree that 101-125 artist list has been full of great people, many of which I'd prefer to be on top 50. Writer list has had more "yeah, those people are on right positions" picks.
Though I just came to think that if Kieth and Herge show up in here, I guess there is no chance of likes of Ted McKeever or Hugo Pratt to make it to higher positions…which is not really surprising but a bit sad nevertheless.
The Inhumans limited series was very cool. I still have all 12 I believe.
Has Alex Toth made an appearance in the artists list yet? I didn't turn anything up in a blog search.
No, he has not.
"What sort of uncultured swine have I associated myself with?"
I'd say Toth still has a shot at being in the top 100. I'm guessing that his work is better known than Herge's in the US. Will be disappointed if he doesn't show up, though.
I like this group here.
i'm astoshished that Lee didn't rank far higher than this. Ok so he doesn't do interiors that often, but even so..
Mike, Kieth did finish My Inner Bimbo, and it's one of the best things he's ever done. Sadly his Batman stuff isn't always as great as his creator-owned books, but I admit I have a soft spot… even though I tend to like his writing even more than his art, so his own creations are my favorites.
He's also got a great blog that you can read at http://www.samkieth.com that shows some of his more out there work and talks about upcoming projects
All stellar artists today. Sam Keith was my #7.
Oh and Mike Loughlin – My Inner Bimbo is indeed finished and out in TPB form.
"I'd say Toth still has a shot at being in the top 100." — You know what? I'm silly. I thought we'd already done the top 100, instead of the top 50, and Toth's absence so far meant we'd ranked him lower than 125.
I really love Giffen's Kirby-esque work on the Defenders! They were influenced while being original at the same time. I'd like to see more of THAT Giffen!
The Inhumans series by Lee and Jenkins was great!
Except that seeing this somehow makes me realize that Black Bolt was actually just that damn Skrull impostor in that story, which now pretty much ruins it!
That makes me all kinds of pissed off…

Hi All,
I just started using WordPress. For the first day or two I was doing it with wordpress.com and the Theme I used was Titan. I was able to use a custom menu but I needed to tweeak the code to change some of the sorting of posts to my liking.
I moved over to a host and loaded wordpress and the Titan theme. There is no longer the ability to use custom themes.
I tried looking at 200 other themes that did have this ability, but there is so much about this theme that is perfect for my needs, that I'm hoping there's a simple solution. I'm guessing that they wordpress.org doesn't have the latest version of Titan uploaded. How would I get the company to do that?

There's something disconcerting about seeing a beautiful woman with a cock the size of the average forearm pistoning in and out of her ass while a classical statue looks on unflinchingly. But that doesn't make it any less hot.
Denys Defrancesco gets very high marks for the directing work here. The movie is beautifully, shot and the action is complemented by great lighting and camera work.
Hats off to Monique Diamond and Susie's threeway romp with George. Watching Susie lick Monique's clit as her ass got pounded was a delightful tribute to cooperation.

groundhog day!
This is a discussion on Got rid of the horns! within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Finally got a chance to get out and shoot the 709 slim after several weeks after my 709 came back from Miami. Sent it back ...
Finally got a chance to get out and shoot the 709 slim after several weeks after my 709 came back from Miami. Sent it back to have it repaired, since it was having severe FTE problems, and slide locking open with rounds in mag. SO, Taurus "fixed" it and sent it back, (only about 7 weeks later) and nothing had changed. Took every 709 owners advice on what I 'might' have been doing wrong, and nothing worked. I got a lemon, oh well. Took it up to the gunshow this weekend, and traded it in and got a brand new Ruger LCP, two tone with satin chrome slide. I can't wait to get out and shoot this one, and report back. If its anything like its big brother (the P95 in the nightstand) I'm gonna quickly be in love, and able to carry it as well. The 95 is just too big for me. :/

"I got a lemon, oh well. Took it up to the gunshow this weekend, and traded it in... "
Which is exactly the reason I'd never buy a firearm at a gun show I didn't: A. Expect to have problems; B. Intend to overhaul and refinish. Never cared for the "here today - gone tomorrow" dealers.

Gun I bought was brand new in box, but I do agree with your reasoning. Luckily the folks I bought/traded with run a gun shop locally as well. And they were told about the issues and were planning to have their smith look at it before selling it.

Keep up-to-date with the latest conditions on the Trail.
Outbreaks of highly contagious norovirus (stomach bug) have occurred at various locations on the A.T. the last several years in a row, with the northbound thru-hiker "bubble" disproportionately affected.
Several hikers have come down with vomiting and diarrhea
in the Smokies area in the last few days.
Hygiene measures such as hand-washing, avoiding sharing of food, and prompt reporting are critical in helping prevent an outbreak or containing one should it occur. Please report date and location of any cases or outbreaks of vomiting and diarrhea on the A.T. or at places used by A.T. hikers (e.g. hostels) to the local health department and ATC at [email protected].
For more information visit our Health and Safety Page. For a poster you can download, click this link: Prevent Norovirus 2016. (3/10/2016)
A new website www.atweather.org (not affiliated with the ATC) provides weather forecasts for shelters along the A.T.
Although not absolutely precise in every shelter location, especially at higher elevations, it does provide National Weather Service forecast data that will often be more accurate than relying on forecasts in nearby towns, which can be dangerously misleading for A.T. hikers. Always be prepared for conditions that are colder, wetter, and windier than forecasts predict.
Bear canisters seasonally required for camping between Jarrard Gap and Neel Gap
(unknown date-present) A new U.S. Forest Service rule requires approved bear-resistant storage containers for overnight camping on a 5-mile stretch of the A.T. in the Chattahoochee National Forest between Jarrard Gap and Neel Gap, between March 1 and June 1 each year. This stretch is located between points 26.7 and 31.7 miles north of the southern terminus of the A.T. at Springer Moutain, Georgia, and includes Woods Hole Shelter, Slaughter Creek Campsite, and Blood Mountain Shelter. "Bear canisters" should be used to store food, food containers, garbage and toiletries. For more information, call the Chattahoochee - Oconee National Forest at (770) 297-3000.
Fontana Dam Shelter construction closure
(5/11/16) Direct from the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club: "The Fontana A.T. [sic] shelter roof replacement is scheduled for May 16-27. The shelter area will be closed to all visitors during this time. The trail and camping area will remain open during the project."
Appalachian Trail has reopened from Wallace Gap to Winding Stair Gap
(4/21/16) Due to a wildfire, the 3.1 mile section of the A.T. from Wallace Gap (A.T. mileage 106.7) to Winding Stair Gap (A.T. mileage 109.8) in the Nantahala National Forest was closed. It is now open.
Rock Gap Shelter Open with a Caveat
(2/26/16) The Nantahala Hiking Club has made some temporary repairs to the Rock Gap Shelter (recall that it was closed due to the structural damage it sustained when a tree fell on it (2/25)). The shelter is now open but shouldn't be considered safe during a snowstorm or equivalent structural duress.
Shelters in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Bear activity and closures
(6-07-16-present) Bear activity has been reported at various shelters in the park. Hikers must use the food storage cables provided at all backcountry campsites in the park. Occasionally shelters are closed when bear activity becomes especially problematic.
Backcountry Permit Fees
(2/1/13-present) As of February, 2013, a backcountry permit must be obtained for overnight stays before entering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and a $4 per person fee will be required for each night in the backcountry. Backcountry permits can be obtained up to 30 days in advance. Hikers who meet the definition of an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker (those who begin and end their hike at least 50 miles outside the park and only travel on the A.T. in the park) are eligible for a thru-hiker permit of $20 (valid for 38 days from the date issued for an up to 8 day hike through the Park). Permits are available at www.smokiespermits.nps.gov. You may also obtain a permit in person at the park's Backcountry Office (at the Sugarlands Visitor Center near Gatlinburg, TN) or over the phone; with permits issued by fax, mail or email. Hikers staying overnight in the backcountry are required to have a printed copy of the permit.
Davenport Gap (Tenn. 32/N.C. 284,eastern boundary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park) – Vehicle break-ins and car thefts
(1/3/16-present) Do not park overnight: This location has a history of vandalism with car thefts reported as recently as 1-3-16. Park at Big Creek Ranger Station in seasons when rangers are present.
For a full list of road and facility closures and warnings throughout the park, click here. Weather-related road and facility closures may change throughout the day. For updated road and weather information please call (865) 436-1200. Once you hear a voice, dial extension 631 for road information or extension 630 for a weather forecast. Click here for more information about bears in the backcountry.
Appalachian Trail has re-opened from Hot Springs to Allen Gap
(Updated 5/2/16) The A.T. is now open from Hot Springs (approx. mile 273.7 from Springer) to Allen Gap (mile 288.4). It was previously closed due to the aftermath of the Silver Mine wildfire.
Straight Branch footbridge washed out - Detour in place
(unknown date-present) A section of the A.T. near Straight Branch and US-58 east of Damascus, VA, has been rerouted indefinitely due to the complete washout of the Straight Branch Footbridge during a high water event in May 2013. The reroute (detour) follows portions of the Beech Grove Trail and Virginia Creeper Trail. This detour is expected to be in place for the foreseeable future, as A.T. management partners plan for the construction of a replacement footbridge. For more information, contact Mount Rogers NRA at (276) 783-5196.
Mt. Rogers – Vehicle break-ins and thefts
(unknown date-present) The Trail between Damascus and VA Rt. 16 at Mt. Rogers NRA Headquarters has a long history of vehicle break-ins and thefts.
Lambert's Meadow Shelter and Campground reopened--feature food storage vaults
(7/11/16) The Lambert's Meadow shelter and campground (located 718.1 miles north of Springer Mtn.) are now open for use.

There are now bear resistant food storage vaults for hikers' overnight food storage--please use them :-)
Thunder Hill Shelter reopened
(7/13/16) The Thunder Hill Shelter (located at mile 769.7 miles north of Springer Mtn) is now open. It was closed on May 25th due to repeated problem bear activity.
South district section of A.T. has reopened to dispersed camping

Crampton Gap shelter - Reported dry
(7/15/16) The 'intermittent' spring located a tenth of a mile south on the A.T. from Crampton Gap shelter (1,033.5 miles north of Springer) has lived up to its reputation and is reported to be dry. The closest water source (a faucet) is located a quarter mile south on the A.T. at Gathland State Park. Thank you Trail Patrol for this update!

(4/1/16) Appalachian Trail Long Distance Hiker Permit: A free A.T. long distance hiker permit will be required of all northbound long distance hikers who enter Baxter State Park in 2016. Southbound hikers are not required to have a permit, but must follow existing regulations. Permits can be obtained at Baxter State Park Headquarters and Katahdin Stream Campground, the Appalachian Trail Lodge in Millinocket, and from the A.T. Steward at Abol Bridge.
For more information, please visit the Baxter State Park webpage or refer to their announcement: http://www.baxterstateparkauthority.com/pdf/hiking/ATHikerRegistrationCardAnnounce_Final.pdf
Baxter State Park is the location of Katahdin, the mountain whose summit serves as the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Katahdin is a mile-high mountain with spectacular views, extremely challenging terrain, and miles of exposed trail above treeline. Because of the difficulty of the climb to the summit, hikers are required to start their ascent by cut-off times that vary depending on the number of daylight hours available.
Hikers staying overnight within the park boundary must camp at designated sites; reservations are necessary for overnight sites for all hikers except those who have arrived on foot walking more than 100 miles. (Southbound thru-hikers should plan on making reservations for at least the night following their climb of Katahdin, and possibly the night before). All must pay a camping fee whether a reservation is obtained in advance or not. For more information about camping in the park and climbing Katahdin, visit www.baxterstateparkauthority.com and the Baxter State Park Facebook page.

Anti-CCP assay is based on Bio-Rad's BioPlex 2200 system. [painless-Fotolia.com]
Axis-Shield and Bio-Rad Laboratories received FDA clearance of the BioPlex® 2200 Anti-CCP test for the detection of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The assay, which measures anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP), has also been launched in the U.S.
The companies say that the test can accurately diagnose RA in early synovitis patients, differentiate RA from other inflammatory arthritides and connective tissue diseases like lupus, and provide confirmation of diagnosis in seronegative RA.
The test runs on Bio-Rad's BioPlex 2200 platform and is based on Axis-Shield's anti-CCP technology. It has been available in certain territories outside the U.S. since earlier this year. "Test availability on this versatile analyzer represents the first time that anti-CCP has been offered on a multiplex autoimmune platform," notes Ian Gilham, Axis-Shield's CEO. "We believe this will encourage market expansion as the autoimmune nature of many conditions becomes increasingly recognized."
John Goetz, Bio-Rad vp and group manager of clinical diagnostics, adds that the sanction allows the company to expand its "presence in the U.S. by offering a more compelling menu for infectious disease serology and autoimmune testing laboratories."
The BioPlex 2200 system is a fully automated, random-access multiplex testing system and provides clinical laboratories with the capability to process multiple individual tests that are traditionally processed separately. The BioPlex 2200 system conserves patient sample volume, consolidates workstations, and simplifies workflow.

From Susan Casey, bestselling author of The Devil's Teeth, an astonishing book about colossal, ship-swallowing rogue waves and the surfers who seek them out. For centuries, mariners have spun tales of gargantuan waves, 100-feet high or taller. Until recently scientists dismissed these stories—waves that high would seem to violate the laws of physics. But in the past few decades, as a startling number of ships vanished and new evidence has emerged, oceanographers realized something scary was brewing in the planet's waters. They found their proof in February 2000, when a British research vessel was trapped in a vortex of impossibly mammoth waves in the North Sea—including several that approached 100 feet.As scientists scramble to understand this phenomenon, others view the giant waves as the ultimate challenge. These are extreme surfers who fly around the world trying to ride the ocean's most destructive monsters. The pioneer of extreme surfing is the legendary Laird Hamilton, who, with a group of friends in Hawaii, figured out how to board suicidally large waves of 70 and 80 feet. Casey follows this unique tribe of people as they seek to conquer the holy grail of their sport, a 100-foot wave.In this mesmerizing account, the exploits of Hamilton and his fellow surfers are juxtaposed against scientists' urgent efforts to understand the destructive powers of waves—from the tsunami that wiped out 250,000 people in the Pacific in 2004 to the 1,740-foot-wave that recently leveled part of the Alaskan coast.Like Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air, The Wave brilliantly portrays human beings confronting nature at its most ferocious.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
The New York Times
"Immensely powerful, beautiful, addictive and, yes, incredibly thrilling. . . . Like a surfer who is happily hooked, the reader simply won't be able to get enough of it." —San Francisco Chronicle
"[An] adrenaline rush of a book. . . . As terrifying as it is awe inspiring."
"Casey's descriptions of these monsters are as gripping in their own way as any mountaineering saga from the frozen peaks of Everest or K2." —The Washington Post Book World
"Susan Casey's white-knuckle chronicle . . . delivers a thrill so intense you may never get in a boat again." —Entertainment Weekly
"Reading The Wave is almost like riding one, paddling in the expositional surf of vivid imagery and colorful description thrown at you in ever-escalating surges." —The Plain Dealer
"Casey does an exceptional job of explaining the natural forces (winds, currents, ocean-bottom shape) that create these daunting, at times fatal, surfing spots. . . . Terrific." —Wall Street Journal
"Extraordinary. . . . I'm only allowed 800 words for this review. Here are a few: fascinating, heroic, dazzling, terrifying, amazing, unbelievable, mesmerizing, instructive, enlightening, superb. This is a . . . powerful, articulate ride into a world you never knew existed but that you will never, never forget." —Richard Ellis, The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Utterly engrossing." —Salon
"Something is stewing in our seas, and Susan Casey—traveling, and in some cases swimming, all around the world—is eager to find out what it is. Both a rollicking look at the ocean's growing freakishness and a troubling examination of our ailing planet, The Wave gives new meaning to the term 'immersion reporting.'" —Hampton Sides, author of Hellhound on His Trail
"[Casey] is a powerful voice in adventure writing. . . . Masterful." —Outside
"Like the surfers and scientists she profiles, Casey lived and breathed giant waves for years. Casey combines an insane passion for craft with an uncanny ability to describe the indescribable.

"[A] captivating hybrid—an intro to the mind-melting physics of waves and a ride-along with the scientists and surfers who chase after them." —Men's Journal
"The Wave is an amazing look at humble yet larger-than-life people who live by daring feats, honorable acts, and selfless denial. . . . Terrifying, beautiful, her prose is shot through with the haunting half-light of a storm." —Doug Stanton, author of Horse Soldiers

Read an Excerpt
The clock read midnight when the hundred-foot wave hit the ship, rising from the North Atlantic out of the darkness. Among the ocean's terrors a wave this size was the most feared and the least understood, more myth than reality—or so people had thought. This giant was certainly real. As the RRS Discovery plunged down into the wave's deep trough, it heeled twenty- eight degrees to port, rolled thirty degrees back to starboard, then recovered to face the incoming seas. What chance did they have, the forty-seven scientists and crew aboard this research cruise gone horribly wrong? A series of storms had trapped them in the black void east of Rockall, a volcanic island nicknamed Waveland for the nastiness of its surrounding waters. More than a thousand wrecked ships lay on the seafloor below.
Captain Keith Avery steered his vessel directly into the onslaught, just as he'd been doing for the past five days. While weather like this was common in the cranky North Atlantic, these giant waves were unlike anything he'd encountered in his thirty years of experience. And worse, they kept rearing up from different directions. Flanking all sides of the 295-foot ship, the crew kept a constant watch to make sure they weren't about to be sucker punched by a wave that was sneaking up from behind, or from the sides. No one wanted to be out here right now, but Avery knew their only hope was to remain where they were, with their bow pointed into the waves. Turning around was too risky; if one of these waves caught Discovery broadside, there would be long odds on survival. It takes thirty tons per square meter of force to dent a ship. A breaking hundred-foot wave packs one hundred tons of force per square meter and can tear a ship in half. Above all, Avery had to position Discovery so that it rode over these crests and wasn't crushed beneath them.
He stood barefoot at the helm, the only way he could maintain traction after a refrigerator toppled over, splashing out a slick of milk, juice, and broken glass (no time to clean it up—the waves just kept coming). Up on the bridge everything was amplified, all the night noises and motions, the slamming and the crashing, the elevator-shaft plunges into the troughs, the frantic wind, the swaying and groaning of the ship; and now, as the waves suddenly grew even bigger and meaner and steeper, Avery heard a loud bang coming from Discovery's foredeck. He squinted in the dark to see that the fifty-man lifeboat had partially ripped from its two-inch-thick steel cleats and was pounding against the hull.
Below deck, computers and furniture had been smashed into pieces. The scientists huddled in their cabins nursing bruises, black eyes, and broken ribs. Attempts at rest were pointless. They heard the noises too; they rode the free falls and the sickening barrel rolls; and they worried about the fact that a six-foot-long window next to their lab had already shattered from the twisting. Discovery was almost forty years old, and recently she'd undergone major surgery. The ship had been cut in half, lengthened by thirty-three feet, and then welded back together. Would the joints hold? No one really knew. No one had ever been in conditions like these.
One of the two chief scientists, Penny Holliday, watched as a chair skidded out from under her desk, swung into the air, and crashed onto her bunk. Holliday, fine boned, porcelain-doll pretty, and as tough as any man on board the ship, had sent an e- mail to her boyfriend, Craig Harris, earlier in the day. "This isn't funny anymore," she wrote. "The ocean just looks completely out of control." So much white spray was whipping off the waves that she had the strange impression of being in a blizzard. This was Waveland all right, an otherworldly place of constant motion that took you nowhere but up and down; where there was no sleep, no comfort, no connection to land, and where human eyes and stomachs struggled to adapt, and failed.
Ten days ago Discovery had left port in Southampton, England, on what Holliday had hoped would be a typical three-week trip to Iceland and back (punctuated by a little seasickness perhaps, but nothing major). Along the way they'd stop and sample the water for salinity, temperature, oxygen, and other nutrients. From these tests the scientists would draw a picture of what was happening out there, how the ocean's basic characteristics were shifting, and why.
These are not small questions on a planet that is 71 percent covered in salt water. As the Earth's climate changes—as the inner atmosphere becomes warmer, as the winds increase, as the oceans heat up—what does all this mean for us? Trouble, most likely, and Holliday and her colleagues were in the business of finding out how much and what kind. It was deeply frustrating for them to be lashed to their bunks rather than out on the deck lowering their instruments. No one was thinking about Iceland anymore.
The trip was far from a loss, however. During the endless trains of massive waves, Discovery itself was collecting data that would lead to a chilling revelation. The ship was ringed with instruments; everything that happened out there was being precisely measured, the sea's fury captured in tight graphs and unassailable numbers. Months later, long after Avery had returned everyone safely to the Southampton docks, when Holliday began to analyze these figures, she would discover that the waves they had experienced were the largest ever scientifically recorded in the open ocean. The significant wave height, an average of the largest 33 percent of the waves, was sixty-one feet, with frequent spikes far beyond that. At the same time, none of the state-of-the-art weather forecasts and wave models—the information upon which all ships, oil rigs, fisheries, and passenger boats rely—had predicted these behemoths. In other words, under this particular set of weather conditions, waves this size should not have existed. And yet they did.

National Geographic published a list in May of 2004 of the 100 Greatest Adventure Books of All time. It included such classics as The Worst Journey in the World, Into Thin Air, and Terra Incognita. I will take bets that The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean by Susan Casey ends up on their next list. This fine work is a skein of three interconnected stories, the dawning recognition in the scientific community that the "Giant Waves" long thought to be myth do indeed exist, a review of some of the most deadly effects of great waves, and the thrilling stories of the men and women who challenge the sea for sport. Strange and frightening events have happened at sea. In 1982 a 337-foot-high oil platform which was built to withstand 110-foot seas and 115-mile-per-hour winds capsized and sank close to instantly, killing all eight-four people on board. The author's investigations at Lloyd's of London reveaed an almost unnoticed list of maritime disasters. In the years from 1990 to mid-1997 a total of ninety-nine huge bulk carriers were lost. Then in a four-month period in the winter of 1997-98 twenty-seven vessels along with 645 people were lost in a single four month period. Weaving through this story is the growing belief by the scientific community that things are most likely to get worse before they get better. The effects of climatic change will be significant at sea. Effects that range from higher sea levels to more frequent tsunamis are likely as the increased weight of water makes the sea floor itself more prone to underwater landslides and collapses. In the mist of this change and concern came a startling announcement. In July 2001 a man named Bill Sharp speaking for a surf wear company issued a press release. It offered a prize of $500,000 to anyone who rode a 100 foot wave. This "Golden Carrot" created a huge surge in people attempting to ride big waves and brought many people into the extreme sport who had no business being there. Ms. Casey spends almost half of her book on the sport of surfing and its many manifestations and on the individual who choose the extreme end of the sport. She writes with power and with a deep understanding of the experience. She choose her narrators early and follows them through the period when the fall out from this challenge made a huge and often tragic impact on the sport of surfing. From start to finish this is a wild ride of a book that manages to be as educational as it is exciting. It is hard to review this book without falling into "my heart beat faster" or "I was on the edge of my chair" but it is in truth that good of a tale.
Don't take this book as your leisure reading on that next cruise or you will be constantly watching the horizon, wondering if that next freak wave is on its way. My reason for reading this book, subtitled In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean, is that I wanted to learn more about huge waves, tsunamis, and ocean behavior. I was not so much interested in the surfers or their stories. However, not far into the book, that changed. The author talks with scientists studying the phenomenon and hangs out with the surfers who tackle these big waves. Despite the recent improvements in monitoring and measuring, the science still has a long way to go and the ocean is still wildly unpredictable. While the scientific information is interesting and enlightening, I really enjoyed getting a bit into the minds of the big-wave surfers who attempt challenges most of us would never even dream of trying. Some have paid with their lives. Many are part of a close knit pseudo-family, enduring the squabbles all families have but watching out for one another, often at the risk of their own lives. "If I scare myself once every day, I am a better person," he had said, "It helps to have that little jolt of perspective that life's fragile." (This quote is from an advance bound galley, so may have changed in the published edition.) The number of huge ships, especially the low-riding tankers, that just disappear without a trace and with little if any media coverage is amazing. Often these ships are registered to countries with loose maritime standards and crewed by under-trained third world natives. The book also contains information on maritime insurance, climate change, marine salvage companies, lots of people and organizations involved with the vagaries of oceanic behavior. I do wish the author had explained a few more of the surfing terms for the uninitiated, like I am. That is my only quibble with the book, and it is a minor one. All in all, the book is a fascinating read. I was given a copy of the bound galley by the publisher, for which I am very grateful.
How many ways can you describe surfing and waves. Apparently not enough to keep my interest. The Wave is written with chapters alternating between the science behind giant waves and the pursuit of extreme surfing. I realize that Ms. Casey probably got interested through the surfing aspect as Laird Hamilton's neighbor in Hawaii, but I lost interest in the surfing aspects of the book after a few chapters. There are too many surfers too keep straight and the waves at some point all come down to the same characteristics--they are big and bad ass and you should be cautious even if you know what you are doing. However, I did find the science fascinating and scary at the same time. I would not recommend reading this during a cruise or a beach vacation as you may have bad dreams. I was traveling while reading this and decided I should not read it in coastal low lands as the images of what could happen are somewhat alarming. I would have enjoyed more science and less surfing with the surfing used to humanize the story. By the end, I found myself skimming to surfing sections.
The public has eagerly awaited another book by Susan Casey, acclaimed author of Devil's Teeth about great white sharks. Her newest book The Wave is equally astounding, and she earns her stripes as an adventure writer by swimming alongside and jetskiing behind big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton in his quest for monster waves. Casey examines giant waves through the eyes of elite surfers, scientists, and mariners. Through every lense, they are ominous. She describes her own emotional encounter with a huge wave in Mexico as a combination of "amazement and fear and humility," and she watches it progress in slow motion. Although she presses Laird Hamilton to describe his experience with monster waves, it is something beyond words. He just places his hand over his heart. Thank you, Susan Casey, for soundly dispelling the misconception that rouge waves are a rarity in the world's oceans. As the earth's climate heats up, they are becoming more common. Her prose is lyrical, peppered with colorful analogies and vivid contrasts, and it is laced with wry humor. The Wave is a ferocious nonstop ride of a book, and Casey has positioned herself as one of the world's best nature writers.
The Wave is an outrageously good read, alternately thrilling and terrifying in turns. How many ways can a wave be described? As many ways as there are waves, though one suspects the Hawaiians had more words for the qualities of water than we do. While surfing plays the loudest chords in this book, one of the most resonant notes played was a description of Lituya Bay in Alaska, where epic waves scour the coastline. I went back and forth with the narrative to examine the included photographs again and again. Pictures help, but Casey's descriptions are harrowing. Reading (or writing!) about surfing could be a difficult endeavor. After all, unless one is on the wave, it is difficult to get a feel for its power. Even watching from shore doesn't give one any real feel for what is going on in the water. Casey brings us up close and personal, partly through her access to the men who ride in wild conditions, and partly through her use of language and imagery to describe different conditions: "Among big-wave connoisseurs, Ghost Tree wasn't especially beloved. It didn't break that often, and when it did it lunged open in a maniac sneer, spitting foam and tangled rafts of kelp." For me, I have an indelible picture of this vicious water, as in this different, but equally effective description of Mavericks: "The Aleutian swells thunder three thousand miles across the North Pacific, barging past the continental shelf until their progress is rudely halted by a thick rock ledge that juts offshore about a mile from Pillar Point, near Half Moon Bay's harbor. When it hits this shallower depth, the wave energy rears up, shrieking and screaming, forming the clawed hand that is Mavericks." As I read, I was reminded of Yvon Chouinard's autobiography Let My People Go Surfing because while the visionary businessman and adventurer lamented climate change and the disappearance of glaciers, he prepared for it by developing a bigger line of surfing products. If there is going to be more water everywhere, Chouinard suggests, that's where the business opportunities are for the outdoorsman. But even now we see that the biggest waves are becoming too much for the surfboards now made. Laird Hamilton, surfer extraordinaire, is trying new hydrofoil boards to take on the larger, more destructive waves being generated in oceans whose currents and temperatures are changing. This book is the equal of Born To Run, the word-of-mouth bestseller among athletes and couch potatoes alike. One doesn't have to do more than act like a sponge to enjoy this extraordinary book.
This was a great mix of wave science, climate change doomsday scenario, and extreme sports profile with big wave surfing pioneer Laird Hamilton as the main subject. Jon Krakauer is a much better author for this type of genre, but if you can slog your way through this rather dry tome, you will actually learn a lot about the sport and the growing interest in this division of oceanography called wave science, useful in that they are starting to use this science to predict cataclysmic tsunamis, e.g. the Indonesian tsunami of 2004 and the Japanese tsunami of 2011.
Thought I would learn something about rogue waves. And did learn a little more than what I have seen on the Nature Channel and the like. First chaper is the best of the book. Rest is mostly about how cool, buff, and brave surfers are and the stupid lenghts they will go to to ride a wave. Snore. Skimmed the last half of the book. I suggest skimming the entire thing. That way you won't feel like you wasted your time. Give it two stars because one of the surfers owns a couple of rat terriers. Now that takes guts.
Great Book - Normally only read great "who-dunnit" books, but this was recommended and I wasn't able to put it down. Filled with great stories, scary facts of what's to come and what is out there, and Ms. Casey weaves it together seamlessly.
Susan Casey's interest in all things science are evident in this book about waves and the book evolves into a fascinating story of water and physics and the daring required to challenge nature. I have great admiration for the "water man" as well as the ability to understand and know your own limitations. Life is Good and its not about what you have, its how you live and respect the world around you.
Susan blends the extreme surfing world with the scientific community, alternating between descriptions of dangerous rides on huge waves and scientific investigations of rogue waves. There is a wealth of information in her book, amid predictions of tsunamis and ship disappearances to come. The daredevil (almost suicidal) surfers are exciting (but crazy), and she develops their personalities to help the reader understand what makes them take such chances with their lives. The beautiful but lethal waves are something to imagine, and the surfer community and the photographers are depicted as a close knit community of survivors, always trying to outdo the other as daredevils. Climate change, it is believed, will bring more huge, dangerous waves that can swallow ships without warning. Scientists are trying to find how they develop and give warnings.
I was blown away by the deep, thorough research Casey did on the oceans and those who study them, test them, challenge them, play in them. She made this scientific book read like a thriller. Hundred foot waves, freighters going down every week, surfers zooming all over to ride bigger and bigger waves, researchers risking their lives trying to learn what causes these phenomena, and the economics behind it all. She pulled together interested parties from many walks of life and various resources to explain what's happening out there. And did it in a way that held my attention constantly until the end. What a fascinating endeavor!
Best book on "rogue waves" I've found. Good story but not to technical...
A riveting read from page one. I'm left with enormous respect for the mysteries & mysticism of the ocean's energy. Important for the time we now live.
some historical and recent startling facts about wave caused disasters at sea and shore then detailed explanation about giant wave formation, contributing bottom currents and contours, and wave heights attained by the near shore surfable waves and the personalities of those expert enough to ride them. A fun read for any ocean voyager and especially surfer.
She spotted a strange red berry with white and black speckles. It smelled spicy. Seastorm what is this? Ive never ever Ever EVER seen it before!
Written clearly. Thought about this book for weeks after i finished it.
