HitFix Interview: Steve Wright talks 'Survivor: Redemption Island'
Lots of talk about rice, race, Phillip and Russell with the latest 'Survivor' bootee
This week's "Survivor: Redemption Island" exit interview was with Steve Wright, 51-year-old former NFL veteran and yet another member of the nearly depleted Zapatera tribe.
And that, of course, meant only one thing: Lots and lots of talk about rice, or at least the circumstances through which a war over rice led to a war over race between Steve and Phillip.
Not surprisingly, Steve still thinks that Phillip is crazy and still insists that calling Phillip crazy is a reflection on the Former Federal Agent's sanity and not the color of his skin.
What else did Steve have to say about The Incident and about how he plans on treating Phillip at the live reunion?Â
Click through...
HitFix: What's it been like watching for the past couple months just knowing that the "Rice Wars" episode and that incident were looming on the horizon?
Steve Wright: That's a good question. Just hoping that I would be aired and edited as who I am and what it was really all about. I think "Survivor" just did a great job and Probst did a great job of editing exactly the way it happened and who I am and who he is and what it was all about.
HitFix: How did the episode play out compared to how you remembered it in your head?
SW: I think it came out pretty much right on. I just remember laying there on the bamboo, cuz there's nothing else to do, and just hearing the confusion over on the other side there where he was dumping the rice. And I was just looking at it for entertainment and just thinking like, "Wow. I can't believe he's putting it all out." And then Andrea coming over and asking if they could put their rice in ours and being like, "No, at least I've gotta talk to Ralph about it... I'm a pretty easy-going guy, so let's at least talk to Ralph and see what his thoughts are and analyze the situation a little more." And she goes back and reports to Phillip and he comes over and tells me he's gonna put the rice in there and I said, "Well, now you're barking up the wrong tree. That's the wrong way to approach it. Come at me a little different and at least ask." And when I said, "No," he just started getting ugly and I said, "Dude, you are crazy," just like I would say that to you or anybody else. And just to watch him just implode was a pretty wild experience. I don't know if I've ever seen that before.Â
Like I've told everybody, I've got a black brother-in-law. I don't have any prejudice in me. And I think that was really brought to the surface: This is who I am and that's who here is.
HitFix: Did watching the episodes that led up to it, did it give you a context that maybe you didn't have previously into the way his mind works?
SW: No. I'd been around him enough to know that he just wasn't balanced. I think that's probably why there was always a question mark behind his name for the FBI. I just don't think he's completely stable. I think that underneath that, there's some intelligence, but I also know that it's not an act. If he did sign up for the FBI or whatever, I'm sure he was let go because of being either emotionally or mentally unstable. You can only hide for so long when you're out there getting filmed 24-7. The real you's gonna come out. And it reared its ugly head.
HitFix: So it sounds like you don't buy what he said on this week's episode when he claimed that at least some of this was an act and a strategy?
SW: No. No. Not at all. You can only act every once in a while, but when you're out there jumping around in your underwear by yourself, you're not doing it for an act. That's just you out there living. The cameras are on you all the time. They're gonna find out who the real "you" is. Russell Hantz couldn't hide who he was. I couldn't hide who I am. The real "you" comes out. It's just exposed. And the guy's a looney-tune. He's just not all there.
HitFix: How have people in your actual day-to-day life responded to this whole thing?
SW: Absolutely stellar. Like I've told everybody, I've had at least a dozen teammates, black teammates, and my brother-in-law either text me or call me or email me, just to say "Wow. We know what you're all about" or "Prejudice, my ass" with a "Ha ha" behind it. That just shows who I am. No one has any feeling at all that I have any prejudice in me. I don't.
HitFix: We're a couple weeks from the live finale and if you've watched the show, you know that on-air, Jeff Probst is going to make you guys talk about what happened and the state of your relationship. Have you thought about how you're going to respond when you see Phillip again?
SW: There's not really a whole lot to add there. I've just tried not to think about him too much. It's like the way I wrote his name there at the end and I just said, "Phillip, I hope you find peace in your heart." I don't wish him any bad feelings. It'd be a sad way to go through life. We always thought about his son, his 15-year-old son, and just feeling sorry for him that he's got this wacky dad being exposed on television like this.
But who knows? I'll just shake his hand, like I tried to do after the fight. I just said, "I want to get rid of this big elephant in the room" and just to let him know there's no hard feelings, "You're a little wacky, but there's no hard feelings. We don't see eye to eye, but at least we can live together." I had to do that in business and on football teams and everything else. It's a lot easier to take the higher road than just to feel all ugly and uptight and tense when someone's around, at least do the best you can so that you can sleep good at night. And I'll do the same thing, I'm sure, when I see him for the finale.Â
I was just shocked to see him saying on the show that he didn't think it was sincere.
HitFix: Though you were on-camera saying that you didn't understand why it had to be you doing the apologizing, so that may be why...
SW: Well the way I was looking at it, I was just like... I can't believe... If I would have made that much of an ass out of myself -- just around friends or even just he and I and I was just going off like that -- I would have just taken the higher road after a night's sleep and said, "Dude. I am sorry. I freaked out last night" and it made me think, "Wow. I'm gonna do it for him. I'm gonna just reach out to him and take the higher road." I was shocked that I had to be the one. It had to be done, because we were gonna be living together. It had to be done somehow someway. I was hoping that he'd come over, but I didn't have a problem going over and just reaching out my hand and saying, "Dude. Let's just bury the hatchet here. And please not in my forehead while I'm sleeping."Â
HitFix: Let's shift gears here. The Zapatera Tribe's decision to throw the challenge to get rid of Russell: Was it worth it socially? And was it a mistake strategically?
SW: No. It was not. And I will take that one to the end. When you have a cesspool, cancer cell like that, you've gotta cut it out. It's like they say, "hire slow and fire fast" or something like that. You could not... We could not... I could not keep that guy around. To live with that guy 24-7 for whatever it was, seven or eight days, something like that... When he had gotten to our camp, he was pulling me aside within 15 minutes saying, "Hey, we've gotta get rid of this Mike. I've been watching him. He looks intimidating. He's gonna be a stud. We should get rid of him." I said, "Dude. Not now. Let's think about this in a couple weeks." And it just went on and on, non-stop. And Julie would come over to me and say, "Hey, Russell's just working the hell out of me to get rid of you." And I'd go, "What?" So I had quite a few conversations with Russell like that, like, "Relax. Let's do this in a couple weeks, but right now we've gotta go into the Merge with numbers" and he'd be, "OK, Steve. We'll do that." And then he'd talk to one of the girls, "Let's get rid of Julie."Â
And he was just lazy around camp and he wasn't doing anything. He was just planting a bad seed in Stephanie and the other girl, the little blonde. It just got really old and being around him that long, they wouldn't work at all, they wouldn't get wood or fish or get crabs. They were just an irritating group and, hey, we had to go for it. Plus, we won the next challenge as soon as we dumped his ass.
HitFix: And then what happened?
SW: Well, then after that, Rob and the one man wrecking crew Grant... If we had an opportunity to vote Grant out, that would have helped us a lot. When you have a guy like Grant, who's a wide receiver with 4.4 speed and him out there running around in the sand? That's what happened. That's what happened, Dan. Grant is what happened. In a nutshell. He was the one who made the baskets. He was the one running around catching the balls. He was a one man wrecking crew. It wasn't Rob at that time. And it wasn't getting rid of Russell. It was the one man wrecking crew, Grant.
HitFix: If it was all the result of Grant being a one man wrecking crew, then it was all on the other side? And you haven't been able to second guess any way that you could have played the game differently from that point? Where maybe you would have lasted longer?
SW: No. Maybe just eating a little more food, I think, to have a little more nutrition in my body to work a little harder. Probably. But if want me to say something about keeping a fat, bald-headed, unathletic, mouthy, stab-you-in-the-back cancer cell named Russell Hantz around? No.
HitFix: But even after that... Were you just in a position where absolutely nothing you could have done anything? You were just on this path to elimination the whole time?
SW: Yeah, there's nothing I can see, in the time that I played or in the time since. There was nothing that I think that we could have done different.
HitFix: And as a last question: How physically battered did you get out there and how did that compare to your time in the NFL?
SW: Nothing even close. This was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. At least in NFL, in training camps you're getting fed like kings and you've got a soft bed and an air-conditioned room. This was beyond my wildest dreams with how tough it was.
HitFix: And the overall experience, did you get out of it what you hoped to?
SW: Yeah, I've got some great relationships. I learned a lot more about myself and not complaining, being really content with what I have and not wanting something bigger and better. Like I said, not complaining and just enjoying the now of when you're connecting with somebody, stay connected with them and not grab your blackberry or your iPhone or the phone or the computer or just distractions. It's just enjoying the simple things in life.

Writing is escapism, at its finest, for me. With three teenagers (a son and two daughters), I can hide from their angst (like 'he looked at me today...what does that mean?' 'Which shade of blue brings out my eyes?' 'When should I get married and who should I marry'...when they're only 13...things like that). And don't even get me started on the perfumes and scents they think are 'cool.' So I escape through other people's lives by writing. I write about people who have conflict, but at least they don't have to smell the latest scent out there. It's like playing with dolls all over again--giving them a life, problems, a past...and it all happens in my head, keeping me entertained.

Any parent knows their child is different. They learn differently, react to stimuli differently, and advance to their own drummer. Children with Autism do the same. All for Aaron while fictional, allows this "mother" to tell her story dealing with this learning handicap as her child grows. I love the fact that sometimes this child doesn't act "as programs say" but shows his individualism. Thank you Markee for letting children be children and showing us that with love all children grow and exceed expectations.

Aaron has autism and his mother is trying to do her best for him by enrolling him in a special class and she falls for his teacher but can't do a thing about it thanks to her ex and his threats! The story has lots of twist and turns as she deals with them all including her job as a reporter while the ex is trying to become a candidate for the senate. I had the feeling the author has dealt with autism in her own life as she had given us a real view of what a child with autism is like in this story along with his Mom dealing with a pretty wicked ex husband!

What would you do for your child? Especially a child with autism. Mom Kelly puts her life completely on hold due to an insane divorce decree from her controlling and crooked ex-husband! When she meets a wonderfully talented teacher at her son's new school, will she be able to stay under her ex-husband's radar and keep her son out of an institution? This book touched home for me as I have a child with autism and I celebrated, cried, and laughed with this book. Well written and a great read that will have you realizing that a mom will do anything for her child!

All for Aaron is a special read. I connected because I have an autistic grandson, and I know I would do anything if it benefited him. Markee Anderson paints a very realistic tale of love and sacrifice between a mother and her son, and delivers a hulky hero brave enough to withstand the tests put before mom, Kelly Foster by her ex-husband. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an entertaining and well-written read. This is the first of Ms. Anderson's books that I've read, but it certainly won't be the last.

I began this book before I left for school in the early evening, and it is all I thought about the whole time. The story captivated me from the first chapter. I wanted to know more about autism; wanted to know about Aaron and his journey. This book completely enthralled me, kept me guessing, and held me on the edge of suspense until the end. The conclusion was very endearing and sweet. I can't wait to read more of Markee Anderson's work!

"The Iliad"
I got used to the music at chapter transitions and when the text was metaphorical, but Susan Sarandon didn't add much, and the narrator was not as engaging as Ian McKellen on The Odyssey.
"I liked the audio version of the Iliad!"
I actually don't have a lot of time to actually read, so this is perfect for me. I can listen when i am moving in between classes, on my way to and from school, and while i am doing other things.
The Iliad is a classic! There are so many characters to choose from that it is hard to pick a favorite. If i had to chose a favorite, I would say Diomedes! That dude is a beast and really fun to listen to.
I really enjoyed the pace of the reading. It was faster than i am used to reading. I also like the tone for each of the characters in the book. Stanley really gave an outstanding performance to all the speakers in this book. I also like that Susan gave the summaries before the next book started, she was pretty awsome as well!
I would recommend this app to anyone that likes to listen to stories. Whatever your preferrence of genre, this is an awsome app and audiobook. I wish they would actually do this with some of my boring textbooks! The only reason I didn't rate this a 5 star was because I wish they would have added a search bar in each chapter so that I could find a reference to go back to when I want to find something specific. Other than that I was very pleased with this audiobook!

splitterface09 Feb 2014 - 13:28im sure itll come out awesome if you do!
your skills are amazing and you shouldnt let yourself get demotivated by people wanting a 1-1 copy.
imo something doesnt have to be at all, as long as it looks goods and the changes you made make sense and make the item as a whole look even better then it originally did :D
splitterface09 Feb 2014 - 13:27... i also havent done this at all a couple times. few times i just threw away the original design and completely re-designed an item from scratch inspired by references from real-life equivalents of the items.
and i too noticed people didnt reply as much to those items as to the 1-1copy items i did.
hope though you'll some day make another quake monster,
im sure itll b...
splitterface09 Feb 2014 - 13:26yeah i get what you mean, about people wanting something that is 1-1 copy of original item. people dun seem to get very excited at all if someone makes something and it isnt 100% authentic, and they will nag quickly if someone makes something and it isnt exactly the same as the original.
i personally dun mind it though if something isnt 100% exact copy, and with the items for drake-m...

splitterface25 Jan 2014 - 14:42*after people voted this person was never heard from again and no model was ever made by them.
which is just f-ing lame, to first get people all excited by letting them pick which monster to remake and then not do it and dissapear. -_-
i myself love the hellknight and it would be totally awesome if you'd make that monster if you do decide to make another monster for quake ...
splitterface25 Jan 2014 - 14:40cools to hear you might do another quake monster :D
yeah theres a couple shamblers around already indeed.
afaik nobody has ever attempted re-making the hellknight, you should totally do that one if you make another quake monster <3

What's the best part about downwinders? The glides!
So I made this video without a single paddle stroke, just bump riding and gliding. A fun evening Hawaii Kai to Waikiki downwinder with my buddy Peter Shepherd from Sydney. Peter is on a 17' SIC Bullet V3 and I'm on the 14' x 28" Bump Rider. It's great to be able to get off work a bit early to do a downwinder during the busy holiday season.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Five years ago Jeff Chang and I wrote a report on the Zen Waterman blog on some of the fastest unlimited race SUP's at the time and discussed the differences between displacement hulls and planing hulls and which worked best for which conditions. While it is relatively easy to test the speed of a board in flat water, testing in open ocean and downwind conditions is much more difficult due to the many variables that can't be controlled. I made a video discussing two 14' boards: The 14'x 26" Blue Planet Dark Horse model which is a displacement board designed to excel in calm water and the 14' x 28" Blue Planet Bump Rider model, a planing hull designed to be an excellent downwind/ open ocean board.
For more in depth reading on this topic, please continue to read the original Zen Waterman blog down below (the post is from 2010, so the boards shown might be somewhat dated in the young sport of SUP but the concepts still apply).
The two boards in the video are the 14' x 26" Dark Horse model and the 14' x 28" Bump Rider model. The first is a displacement shape designed for flatwater and the second a plaining hull downwind board. People often want one board that is good for both and there are some boards on the market that are somewhat of a compromise between these two extremes. Shapes with a high volume, rounded nose and slightly more rocker than the Dark Horse, like our 14' Badaboom model, work well in rough, choppy conditions and can be great in moderate downwinders.
Road Bike vs. Mountain Bike analogy:
I like to compare displacement boards to road bikes- fast on smooth roads, and planing hulls to mountain bikes- best on rough terrain. Road bikes have thin, high pressure tires with minimum drag and are designed to be aerodynamic and fast on the road. Mountain bikes have wide, grippy tires, suspensions and are made to handle rough terrain. You could use a road bike in a mountain bike race and vice versa but it won't be the best equipment. There are hybrid bikes that are pretty fast on the road and pretty good off-road but they won't be the fastest equipment to use in either a road race or in a mountain bike race. A bike like that could be the fastest choice in a race that had varied conditions as is often the case in races.
What I'm saying is there is no one magic board that is fastest in all conditions, unfortunately. With all that said, the equipment usually plays a small role in race results compared technique and fitness levels of the competitors, which play a much bigger role in how quickly you will finish in a race. A board that is 1-2% faster can, however, make enough of a difference to finish ahead of a racer that is usually slightly faster than you. At the elite level a few seconds difference can be enough to win a race vs. coming in second or third and even in the middle of the pack nobody likes to be held back because they are not on the right equipment.
In the video below, I discuss my opinion on race board weights and the compromise of performance/ weight/ durability/ price that you will face when shopping for race boards.

Below is a copy of the original post from the Zen Waterman blog written by Robert Stehlik and Jeff Chang in January 2010:
Planing vs. Displacement hulls- a SUP race board comparison written by Robert Stehlik (Blue Planet Surf) and Jeff Chang (Wet Feet) for Zen Waterman
When I first started paddling racing boards, the equipment was not as important as the technique and fitness level. I had a fast board, a 14' C4 Waterman Vortice XP and I kept going faster by practicing and improving my technique and endurance. While going on Hawaii Kai runs with Todd Bradley, Dave Parmenter and Greg Pavao, who were all riding the same board as me and going much faster, it made me realize that I had plenty of room to improve. It was me, not the board, that was slow. Getting a good, proven stock race board is a good way to get started in SUP racing. Most races have 12'6 or 14' stock divisions and you can be competitive in the class without getting caught up in the "arms race" in the unlimited division. The size and price of a stock board is also more manageable.
With that said, as I got better, I noticed that guys on longer, unlimited boards with rudders were going faster and at some point I realized that if I wanted to be one of the fastest racers, I also need to be on one of the fastest boards. Since then, I have been trying many different boards and designs in search of the fastest one and want to share some of the things I have learned.
My friend and training partner Jeff Chang and I had the chance to test and compare several SUP race boards. As Jeff and I train together regularly, switching back and forth with each other gives us a good indication of how fast we are going. Last week, we compared two new 12'6" stock race models that will be available as production boards next year and we can't report about yet.
|SUP race boards- Unlimited displacement vs. planing hull
This week, we had a chance to compare two unlimited class raceboards. We compared a Sandwich Isles Composites (SIC) custom Starboards prototype shaped by Mark Raaphorst, and a 17'6" Dennis Pang race board that Guy Pere, Kamaki Worthington, Aaron Napoleon and myself have all won races on. I wrote about this board before in the Coast Guard race recap.
|Dennis Pang (left) and SIC race board decks
The custom SIC/ Starboard board on the right is a planing hull with a flat bottom and sharp edges in the back and hard tucked under edges. It's quite wide and stable.
The Dennis Pang board is more of a displacement hull with a piercing bow and rounded rails in the nose and tail. The mid section has a slight double concave with soft tucked under edges. This board is only 25 1/8" wide with a flat area of 22 1/4".
We launched in Hawaii Kai and I took some pictures as Jeff passes me on the Dennis Pang board.
Doug Locke was on a 14' Naish Glide and Darin Kohara was on a SIC F-14.It was pretty windy and I was confident I would catch up to them on the SIC, but it was not as easy as I expected. The board felt like it was pushing water and I had a hard time catching the short, disorganized bumps. I paddled as hard as I could, but did not get closer to Doug and Jeff, who seemed to be having a blast connecting the bumps. To be fair, I have been riding displacement hulls for a while and have never ridden a planing hull over 14', so I had to get used to it. I know that some of the fastest guys are on this kind of board, so I made up my mind to figure out how to make this thing go. As we got further out, the bumps got bigger and more defined. I figured out that the board needed to go from bump to bump to maintain speed and that I needed to move my weight back quickly to pick up speed on a bump. I started getting used to the board and began to tap into some of its potential.
My understanding of the theory behind planing vs. displacement hulls is that a planing hull is slower at low speeds but once it starts to plane at higher speeds, it lifts out of the water and reduces the wetted surface, lowering friction and allowing higher top speeds. In comparison, a displacement hull uses a long waterline and smooth water entry and exit to allow for less drag at low speeds. You can get a displacement hull on a plane but the top speed is limited by water wrapping around the rounded edges versus the flat bottom and hard edges of a planing hull that allow a clean release, more lift, less drag, and higher top speed.
After getting half way to Black Point, Jeff and I switched boards and I got on the Dennis Pang board I was used to riding. The board felt very tippy coming off the stable SIC board and it took me a moment to adjust to it. When I finally got into the groove, I was catching every little bump with little effort. This board just feels slippery through the water; hard to put into words.
Jeff on the SIC catches a runner. Note how he moves the right foot back to lift the front of the board up.
Doug Locke is the master at catching and surfing bumps. He has tried many boards, too and really enjoys the 14' Naish Glide.

We finished at the Elk's club
Day two: We took the boards for another run the next day.
The SIC rudder system (ASS- Advanced Steering System) is comfortable and is easily controlled by the toes.
The wind was strong and the board was catching bumps without even paddling.
We had a big group of stand up and prone paddlers starting at the blinker buoy.
The second run on the SIC board went better. I was able to keep up with the fastest guys and I really started to feel the board's strengths, namely:
It's fast on the bumps and it maintains a high speed when connecting bumps.
Stable deck and thick rails, barely ever had water running over my feet.
Easy to control, especially when riding bumps and easier to ride swells at an angle or "down the line" at angles where the displacement hulls tend to roll and slow down. I figure this is a big advantage in the Molokai race where you are quartering the wind and swells for most of the race.

Board test day 3: On the third day we added a third board to the test: Jeff Chang's Bark board that he used in the Molokai race (the black one on the right)
Jeff's board is a displacement type hull, similar to the Dennis Pang board but at 26 1/2" wide is about 1 1/2" wider and more stable. It also has more rocker and cable rudder system that runs underneath the deck, like on the SIC. The Dennis Pang board has a fiberglass batten running down the deck that controls the rudder.
Jeff's BARK has a "knifey" piercing nose and tail with a double concave in the middle and rounded rails.

The wind was light and the bumps were small, but it was great to get out on another beautiful day in Hawaii. This was the shortest day of the year and this picture made me realize how lucky we are to be paddling under rainbows when most people in the northern hemisphere are stuck indoors.
I rode Jeff's Bark the first half of the run and immediately felt comfortable on it. The board was predictable, fast, and fun to paddle. It felt lighter and more nimble than the 18' Bark board I own and paddled on in the Molokai race (see my previous post).
I am always impressed by how smooth the water entry and exit is on all the Bark boards I have tried. In flat water, the amount of turbulence created where the bow enters the water and the turbulence behind the tail is a direct indicator of how much friction the board has through the water. The less the water gets disturbed, the faster you go. Some boards slice through the water so smoothly that you don't feel like you are going fast- that's what you want. Joe Bark seems to have a special skill for making the water go under and around the board with minimal disturbance and drag. I have noticed that many of the shapers that make the fastest unlimited boards have been making and experimenting with racing boards (prone paddleboards and windsurf boards in particular) for many years and can draw from that experience to make the fastest hull shapes.
While a piercing bow with a "v" in the water entry area seems to be fastest in flat water, a flat bottom where the water enters gives more lift in the nose and is easier to control when riding the bumps. The wide flat water entry area of the SIC generates plenty of lift and is easy to control, but also feels like it is "pushing water" at lower speeds, while the Pang board is a compromise. When I switched to the Pang board, I had to get used to the tippyness again but once adjusted, I felt like the narrower board had less resistance through the water. The Pang board transitions from a piercing nose to a flat section where the water enters. This makes the bow "splashy" in flat water, not as smooth as the Bark, but also seems to make it easier to steer in bumps and it felt like I did not have to work as hard to catch and stay on the bumps. Out of all the boards I have tried so far, the Dennis Pang board is still my favorite for coastal runs and races, which is not to say that it would work well in the Molokai race (too tippy) or in a flat water race (water entry not as smooth). For those conditions I would probably choose the SIC board and the Bark, respectively.
That summarizes my input.
Here is what Jeff Chang (Wet Feet) has to say about the three boards:
Here are my impressions for the various performance aspects observations from paddling next to you. This is a good gauge because you are faster than me: Overall speed: In flat water is seems the Bark is fastest, Pang second and the SIC third. This is easiest to measure. In moderate winds it seems the Pang is fastest, the Bark second and the SIC third. For me the Pang is faster because is seems to miss less of the bumps, especially the smaller ones. It seems easiest to catch everything. It felt like the Bark and SIC missed more bumps and I could feel more often stalling on the backside of the bump and needing to wait for the next one. But also it seemed like once you caught a bump the Bark and SIC glided further. The SIC especially so if the bump was big. So overall if feels like the Pang catches more bump and maintains the speed better but I got longer rides with the Bark and SIC. I think a lot depends on the paddler too. For example, someone like SIC with a lot of strength might be able to make a board like his go faster (or Scott Gamble on his Bark) than I could and could close the speed gap between the three or even make his go faster than the others. Stability: SIC most stable, Bark second and Pang third. Although the Pang was not overly tipsy and was easy to recover on. During the HK run I don't fall atall using the Pang so the design is reasonably user friendly. But others have commented that at 25" wide the Pang is hard to balance on and if you cannot balance then you cannot put full paddle power into your stroke. Paddling Effort: Pang easiest, Bark medium, SIC most effort. Again you need to be able to balance on the board to be able to power it properly. Handling: The SIC board is very stable with a lot of volume and feels like a boat. I can see this being very good for Molokai where if you need to you could just cruise and not have to concentrate on balancing. The planing type back would also be good for turning the board to windward and trimming on a bump which is critical for the channel. I think a board like this would be my choice for the channel. The Bark is very stable and user friendly but a little more nimble than the SIC and is good all around since in goes fast in flat water. This is a good Oahu board and is good for the HK run since the start and end are in flat water and the board catches bumps well. It would also be my choice for a North Shore race. The double concave bottom and pronounced spine down the middle seems to give it a lot of drive and might explain the longer rides. I rode this board at the last Molokai and at times it would have been nice to have had a more stable board but then this board is light and easy to paddle so hard to say if I would have gone faster on a more stable board. Its always a tradeoff. I was very happy with my Molokai time on this board and felt good at the end so after all is said and done maybe a more stable board might have been more comfortable but also might have been slower. The Pang feels fast and slippery in the water. For me this board was the fastest and most fun to paddle because it seems to catch the most bumps and maintain speed although you don't get those really long rides where you feel like you are surfing. But in a race it seems catching all those little ones and maintaining speed is faster than those longer rides which happen less often. This might be explained by the more subtle concave bottom and flatter more neutral entry just behind the piercing nose. I think that is what gives it that controllable feel dropping into the bumps and ability to push into the next one. Thanks for reading, Aloha!
Since this post was written in January 2010, Jeff Chang had Dennis Pang shape him a copy of the board in this comparison and had it glassed very light with carbon. He installed a cable rudder system and has been winning many races with this board over the last few years. For pictures of his board and the rudder system, visit this Molokai training post.
I (Robert), have gotten used to riding planing hulls and now prefer to use them in downwind conditions. I have been using a 17'4" SIC Bullet or the 14' x 28" Blue Planet Bump Rider that I designed specifically for downwind races. No longer happy just using boards created by others, I started using computer aided design to shape race boards in 2011. This has allowed us to make incremental improvements to the shapes to make them faster and improve handling.
|Robert Stehlik on the 14' x 28" Bump Rider
|Race proven shapes: Greg Pavao and Robert Stehlik won their age division and came in 3rd overall two man team at the 2013 Molokai to Oahu Race on the 14' x 28" Blue Planet Bump Rider model. The planing hull design make it a fast and stable board in downwind conditions.
|Jeff Chang finishes the 2014 Molokai race on the latest version of the 14' x 28" Blue Planet Bump Rider. He not only finishes first in his age group but his time of 5:23 is also faster than all other paddlers over 50, including those on unlimited boards. Well done Jeff!

How to Inspect Your Suspension System
This is a guide to understanding the shimmy and shake of your car. If you suspect your suspension or tires have a problem and you feel inclined to tackle the cause, you may be able to identify some common issues.
1Try to really "feel" yourself. A vibration felt in the steering wheel suggests a problem in the front of the car (most likely in the steering linkage or the wheel alignment). It may be a tie rod end or a bushing in the car's control arms. Seat vibration suggests a problem in the back of the car. It may be a wheel bearing or a run out condition in a tire.
- If you hear a knocking type noise going over bumps while driving then you may have defective front struts or shocks.
2Park the car and let it cool once you think you located the problem. Grab your gloves and safety glasses.
3Lift the vehicle if necessary. If you must lift the vehicle, put the car on a flat surface and use the proper supports. Don't rely on the jack alone to support your vehicle, and never use bricks or lumber to hold your vehicle up. Use proper jack stands and chock the wheels. Test the car's stability before you get under it. Push it, lean on it and shake it. Make sure it is solidly on the jack stands and does not move when you push, pull or shake it. Now you can get under your vehicle in the suspect area and get to work.
4Be sure to know what you are looking at. Many suspension parts can be diagnosed by grabbing or rotating the part. For example, the tie rod ends, the Pittman arm, the idler arm, and other parts of the steering linkage. As for wheel bearings, bushings, and tires, you will need to have the wheels off the ground.
5Check the tires. Tires are frequently the main culprit in these "not-so-good vibrations", due to different degrees of tire run out (such as the tire being shaped liked an egg, or the tire having a bulge effect in the sidewall). With the tire off of the ground, spin the wheel and look at it head on. You may be able to see that the tire shows the above symptoms. However, you cannot always see this with the naked eye. While you have the tire in the air, grip the top and bottom of the tire. Wiggle the tire back and forth. If the wheel shows signs of play, you may have bad (or loose) wheel bearings or a bad tie rod end. You may also want to check to see that the lug nuts are not loose.
- To test the tie rod grab the sides of the tire and wiggle back and forth while watching or feeling for play in the tie rod outer and inner joints.
- The front suspension and tires should be visually inspected for anything obvious like tire damage, worn out or missing bushings, leaking shocks or struts.
6Take your car to a mechanic if you can't find anything through this basic inspection. A mechanic can use the proper diagnostic tools.
Community Q&A
How can a tire fall off?wikiHow ContributorA tire can fall off if the lug nuts are tightened poorly during the replacement of a wheel. In this case, it will fall off along with the metal rim inside. For just the tire itself to come off, either the tire or rim would have to be damaged pretty badly.

Ask a Question
If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- There should be no detectable play in any part of your suspension system. Finding this usually indicates a problem.
- Press downward with your body weight on one corner of the vehicle. If it bounces more than once, the shock or strut is probably worn and needs replacement soon.
- If your car is equipped with an Automatic Leveling System and your car seems to sit unevenly (i.e. the rear of the car sags), the usual cause is an air leak. Air leaks are usually caused by degradation of the rubber portions of the air shocks. Air lines and fittings can also develop leaks, causing the car the sag. In some cases, the problem could be the air compressor itself, or its sensors and wiring.
- Most cars with factory air suspensions can be converted to a regular coil-spring type of suspension. While this option may be pricey up front, and the ride might not be as good as a perfectly-functioning air suspension setup, the savings in costly repairs can really add up.
- On cars without rack and pinion steering, the suspension should be greased every time your vehicle has the tires changed or rotated, or every 10,000–15,000 miles (16,000–24,000 km).
- Any suspected tire or suspension problem should be looked at right away. It could render the vehicle uncontrollable or unusable.
- Suspension parts are generally very dirty, and they can be extremely hot. Always allow the vehicle to cool down for at least 4 hours before attempting an inspection.

Part of the appeal of spindly wingers is that you never know what you're going to get. When the flamboyant Dutchman is hot, he practically self-combusts. When he is cold, he looks half-baked.
When it mattered this season, Robben was positively sizzling, no more so than in the Champions League final victory over Borussia Dortmund. Bayern Munich are a team who are never really reliant on one player, but Robben is one of the most potent weapons in their armour.
Robben has incredible pace; he even seems to get quicker with the ball at his feet. He can play on both flanks and loves cutting inside, mostly because it allows him to showcase one of the best long-shots in the modern game.
He has his faults – mostly on account of a temperament that is suited to Bayern's historic FC Hollywood culture, but perhaps less in keeping with their more team-oriented ethic nowadays.
Having only played in around half their games this season, many thought he would miss out on the Champions League final. It's a good thing he didn't.

Complaint Review: Governor John Kasich
Governor John KasichRiffe Center, 30th floor 77 South High Street Columbus, Ohio United States of America
Governor John Kasich the only Governor to allow the political abuse of 'Russian psychiatry' at the State Medical Board - where you allow the repeated psychiatric evaluation of women MDs with no patient complaints - causin Columbus, Ohio

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Nothing at the State Medical Board is about patient care - it's about having the right dumbed down personality - where you are so stupid that you can't disagree. The Medical Board of Ohio is where Russian psychiatry is used to go after medical dissidents - women who disagree with fracture care from Nice & Keith (ripening fractures & experimental casts) - not real dissidents, just women who studied in Medical School & Residency. The Ohio Medical Board is where careers are 'tabled' on the basis of old-wives-tale beliefs about 'good care' for women - beliefs that women just 'make too much' all the time. Women don't get blood work, and if they do, women MDs should order their own and be quiet about it - women don't need blood work (Dilling, Whitehouse).
Then after 5-6 psychiatric evaluations, there's no strength left to argue points anymore - so the same-old same-old bad care continues in Ohio. There's no improving anything - even the procedures at the Medical Board are antediluvian, archaic, and biased. Ohio is the worst Medical Board in the US for abuses of psychiatry, power, and old-boy stuff.
When you've been gone at > 5 times with 'goes,' your personal everything published, your PAP smears & dating life in public records - the question is how do you recover from this loss of 'boundaries' - the loss of sense in your life? And this is what a career in Medicine was supposed to be? You are so humiliated that you have no bargaining power - Governor Kasich's staff hangs up on you, and the boys & girls want another and another go - the talking head staff spouts the party line - everyone wants to find a case after 20 years of the Medical Board not being able to 'find a case.' That the woman MD holds a grudge for what has been done to her is the classic 'case.' Well, who wouldn't? The Medical Board of Ohio needs Glasnost reforms.
Governor Kasich needs to get an epiphany about what is really going down at the Medical Board - to start an enlightenment of tolerance for woman professional opinions. The Deans at Case Western Reserve Medical School have encouraged women for the last 40 years - encouraged them to think independently, to be leaders, and not to take bad comments. What good was that if it was just for the suspension/discipline stats?
But continuing the Russian psych approach punishment in Ohio - the Anderson-Steinbergh-Talmadge way - will not work. The appointments, policies, and rulings of the State Medical Board of Ohio need to be improved - starting with the Membership and the 'confidential' physician complaint rule. How can one fight, or resolve, a disagreement if one doesn't know what the case is about, who said what, and there is a continual effort to lie and cheat? The Medical Board admits that they cheat on cases, but so what - CHEATING is a part of life at the State Medical Bord - they are never made to pay damages or recompense.
When the physician complaints are 'confidential' there is no way to bring the physician and the complainers into a room to 'discuss' - before more psychiatric evaluations, 20 years, or that there is severe damage to the woman MD's health & career. The Medical Board Members don't see the provincial 'dynamics' - and you can't rely on the local resident Board psychiatrist (Dr. Resnick) to 'get the Cleveland dynamics - unless the Executive Director & the President have the physician & complainers meet to 'hash out the problems.'
Physicians & complainers can meet locally with a Board representative - but nothing will end until both sides come to some agreement. Have Cleveland problems meet with the closest Board Member to discuss in a Cleveland area meeting establishment - mandatory that the complainers & the complained about physician meet face to face to see what the cases are really about, ie sex, money, office space, patient referrals, sex. This should happen before any provisional or hypothetical suspension.
This is especially important if this is a colleague complaint that deals with personality issues. No matter how strong a woman MD is, the males want you submissive even unto the death of yourself or a patient. They want you like Gabby Reece in the bedroom, and the hospital is not a home or 'family' situation - one bad decision can cost a life or a limb. You can't be the physician co-pilot not telling the pilot MD/DO that he/she has run out of gas.
Resolution options for cases need to be improved, and physicians need to get back to work and doing patient care - not compiling stats or going at each other for referrals, power, and money. This includes Board Members, who are supposed to be representative of, and helpful to physicians - helping everyone keep their daytime jobs and livelihoods - for tax purposes if nothing else.
No medical license, barring a patient death, should be taken for more than several months - to get the gist of the problem, give the options, and have a resolution - 2 pages not 20. You can't re-educate physicians from lenghthy licensure suspensions - the costs are astronomical even for MESNA IQ physicians. There's never going to be the perfect report from any psychiatric evaluation - the Medical Board will never be completely exonerated from doing the wrong thing for whatever reasons - even the right ones. Yes the physician might have over-reacted, but the Medical Board should have had medical mistake laws & policies to handle problems of women getting care that is better for guys - in at least one case.
The coffers of the State Medical Board of Ohio are depleted and ransacked from bad decisions, bad cases, and the abuse of power - while Governor Kasich, and his staff, laugh and spout one liners about 'another psychiatric evaluation.' And that physician had no patient complaints, no drug/alcohol, no CME violations - she just objected to wrong care and 'boys' went at her. It's all about boys being boys, and girls being girls - no maturity, no sense, and no growing up in politics - Ohio Board Members seem to be like the Gerard Butler character in Playing For Keeps - never quite getting the picture or the responsibility of being a Board Member. The punishments should fit the crime; complaining about care to get the physicians to refer and send the medical records is not a reason to suspend a medical license - that's not the law.

I noticed a very large transaction made on 25th July this year for US $937 to Fulfillment International.
I don't know how they got my credit card number - I've read the other reports here in RIP-OFF and certainly no phone calls were made to the house. On that day, I was actually out at a reception, and the answerphone was on.
I have reported the matter to my credit card company and they are investigating the matter. I searched the internet for Fulfillment International, and the only reference I could find was on this site.
It seems they are getting more sophisticated in their methods!

Growth and Raman scattering characterization of Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films
- DOI: 10.1016/j.tsf.2008.11.031
In the present work we report the results of the growth, morphological and structural characterization of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films prepared by sulfurization of DC magnetron sputtered Cu/Zn/Sn precursor layers. The adjustment of the thicknesses and the properties of the precursors were used to control the final composition of the films. Its properties were studied by SEM/EDS, XRD and Raman scattering. The influence of the sulfurization temperature on the morphology, composition and structure of the films has been studied. With the presented method we have been able to prepare CZTS thin films with the kesterite structure. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Was for me, and for a lot of others on here it seems.
Needed your explanation for me.
Compared to what I've seen for VW-Audi brands from Italy in here, this is decent. Still I find the connection to the brand pretty far-off and thus the idea weak. The artwork's good though.
Time is money. Money is (apparently) a frog.
Therefore, time is a frog.
This wisdom brought to you by me, with an assist from Socrates. ;-)

Ha ha ha! I wish there was more frogs in a day! I've got a meeting in half a frog and I haven't had frog to do the work.
Fish was ok but the frog and VW . What relevency can I assume...
Economically ok but ecologically far behind.

It was about two years ago to the day I was blacklisted at CNN.
I don't want to remind them they were sadly wrong, but they were. So write this off however you prefer, but understand that we were lied to again to drag us again into an open-ended war in Iraq-Syria. Last time it was Bush and those missing Weapons of Mass Destruction. This time is was Obama and saving the Yazidi people from genocide.
Wait, what? Who are the Yazidis? How they get us back into Iraq?
Ah, how fast time flies.

I have an excel table i've managed to massage into XML format ready for importing into WordPress via the RSS import tool.
The titles, contents and other main fields pertaining to the post import fine, but I am having trouble mapping extra metadata from the XML file to its relevant table in WordPress.
I've tried to tweak the import script (rss.php) with little success given my very limited coding skills.
Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Loma went like 4 then 12 against one of the worst style's early on... a relentless puncher. He couldn't deal with the pressure and the space he was given to operate
Even though Salido is on the decline he still one of the toughest men in the sport. Hernandez can bang but he doesn't even compare to Salido in he duribility depart. That's what I like inoue in this fight. He's quicker, sharper and has power in both hands. It's a great match up and I think it will produce fireworks. We'll hopefully get to see if Inoue's chin is as good as boxing skills.
I'm just glad this fight is on a weekend and I can actually watch this. I haven't been able to see any of the Asian fights lately because of my new job and the fact half of the time the fights are on weeknights.
Oh yeah almost forgot about game of thrones too. Ahhhh what a good weekend.

TUCKER, Ga. (AP) -- The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference has fired its commissioner, William E. Lide, citing a
critical audit. The dismissal was announced Monday in a statement from the SIAC's chairman of the Council of Presidents, Tuskegee University President Benjamin E. Payton.
Payton said Lide's termination was effective May 31. The
statement said a recent internal audit found numerous
irregularities, including alleged mishandling of conference
Payton said the Council named George Mategakis, a current member
of the SIAC staff, as interim commissioner. The conference, based in Tucker, Ga., has 13 member schools competing in Division II.

We have a lot of school spirit, a lot of students attend the bigger games, and there's no doubt that there's always student involvement.
I love my team and my coach.
The athletic facilities are decent are far as I can tell. I do not play sports.
Everyone at this school loves to support the athletic programs!
I have never paid attention to the athletic teams.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
The glory days seem to be over for SRU varsity athletics. There are legends of intense football games between SRU and rival universities IUP, Edinboro University, and Clarion University. These heated matchups made for some intense showdowns and packed stadiums full of green and white. Unfortunately, with the lack of any recent SRU success, much of the school spirit has since evaporated. Now at varsity athletic events, students come decked out in "Rock Rowdies" gear toward the beginning of each semester, but much of the spirit fizzles out as loss after loss is accumulated. The most recent downer for varsity athletics was a cut in funding, which translated to a cut in very popular teams, such as water polo, swimming, golf, and men's tennis, just to name a few. SRU seems to have forgotten that the wide selection of varsity sports, now lost, was a definite appeal for student recruitment.
Intramural sports teams are far more popular and, in many cases, taken more seriously than varsity sports. IMs carry a cult-like following, as students create teams and come out to the ARC to have fun, more than anything. Anybody can play in the many events throughout the year, as actual "skills" are, by no means, mandatory. Basketball, dodgeball, volleyball, and a laundry list of other sports give students many options to get involved, make fools of themselves, and have a good time doing it.
