Polaris® redefines Terrain Domination® With the All-New AXYS Platform on 2015 RUSH and SWITCHBACK Models
Five short years after Polaris shocked the world, reinventing the snowmobile by introducing the PRO-RIDETM chassis on the RUSH model, the brand with a track record of 60 years of Terrain Domination® is doing it again.
Polaris engineering, innovation, manufacturing capabilities and passionate understanding of what real riders really want have led to the all-new AXYSTM platform, the next-generation premium performance platform that is rider-balanced for terrain-dominating control.
Polaris began development of the AXYS platform with a clean sheet of paper and a simple goal: To radically raise the bar in the three dimensions that define world-class snowmobiles: Control, performance and comfort.
The all-new AXYS platform delivers the ultimate riding experience:
• Rider BalancedTM Control
• Unrivaled Acceleration
• Rider-Centric Comfort
Polaris is introducing a total of nine new 2015 RUSH and Switchback models built on the AXYS platform.
All-New Chassis
The foundation for the AXYS platform is an all-new chassis. This all-new chassis is built from the ground up with 93% new parts, including a carbon-fiber overstructure. The new chassis structure and design make it possible to change the rider positioning, centralize vehicle mass, redesign the rear suspension, add more power, remove weight, and evolve the rider's riding experience. In short, it is the key to delivering rider-balanced control, unrivaled acceleration, and rider-centric comfort.
Rider Balanced Control
Rider BalancedTM Control gives the rider:
• Flatter cornering without sacrificing the fun factor
• More precise handling in all conditions
• Better control in big bumps AND chatter bumps
How did Polaris® get there?
1. Put the rider in the right location on the sled.
2. Centralized the vehicle mass.
3. Optimized the suspension geometry to better control pitch.
Rider Positioning
Rider BalancedTM means putting the rider in the perfect position on the sled. The new chassis does just this, resulting in maximum control and maximum fun factor – at the same time.
On the new chassis, the rider is moved forward to a more balanced position on the sled. The rider's hands are moved 4.5" forward, the feet are 2" forward, the knees are 4.5" farther forward, and the seat is 4.5" forward to put the rider in the perfect position to enjoy complete control of the sled and a great ride.
In neutral riding position, the AXYSTM platform allows the sled to corner like it's on rails with very little tip in the corners. When the trail gets rough or the rider jumps off into the powder, rider balance then enables the rider to move back and make the front end light to climb up on top of the snow or the moguls.
This perfect balance is unequaled by rider-forward competitors whose sleds can handle unpredictably in the rough, or can exhibit excessive ski-pressure on-trail, effectively diminishing the fun factor. Polaris delivers balance where others deliver forward bias.
Centralized Vehicle Mass
Vehicle mass is more centralized on the new chassis, enhancing cornering and control. The rider experiences easier and more precise handling.
Suspension Design & Positioning
The completely redesigned geometry of the all-new PRO-XC® progressive-rate rear suspension is optimized for the best performance and Rider BalancedTM Control. Through innovative Polaris engineering and construction, the suspension is both lighter and stronger.
• It features a lightweight, forged aluminum rear crank.
• It has a completely redesigned crank and pivot.
• The front torque arm was moved rearward. This helps control pitch, increase travel, and
improve the rail profile.
The all-new PRO-XC® suspension delivers Active Pitch ControlTM. With Active Pitch Control, pitch is controlled by the suspension geometry and not simply by a high spring rate. This makes the sled less sensitive to adjustment while allowing optimal weight transfer.
As a result, the PRO-XC suspension delivers improved performance in ALL conditions, at all speeds. In big bumps and stutter bumps, at high and low speeds, the more compliant suspension setup produces:
• Flatter Cornering: Inside ski lift is significantly reduced.
• Chatter Bump Control: Control through chatter bumps is significantly increased. The front
end of the sled stays planted even when accelerating through a corner.
• More-controlled Weight Transfer: A rider can enjoy strong, high-acceleration launches without any compromise in cornering precision.
Unrivaled Acceleration
The AXYSTM platform delivers exactly what every rider craves: more power and less weight, resulting in unrivaled, class-leading acceleration. Polaris® achieved a 15% improvement in the power-to-weight ratio on AXYS.
Class-Leading Acceleration:
• Class-leading acceleration and speed through the 1⁄4 mile
• Class-leading 0-60 mph
• Class-leading corner-to-corner acceleration for 30-50 mph
*Based on internal Polaris testing utilizing MY14 competitive product.
Lightest Weight:
• With its clean-sheet approach to developing the AXYS platform, Polaris engineers
minimized weight throughout the sled without compromising strength.
• Selected models are up to 38 pounds lighter than they were on the previous chassis.
• The 2015 RUSH on the AXYS platform weighs at least 30 lb. less than a competitive trail
performance model.
• While the weight was reduced, the sled's strength, durability and reliability were maintained
New 800 H.O. Engine
Developed in conjunction with the AXYS platform, the new 800 H.O. engine delivers outstanding power and its integrated mounting position optimizes the balance of the chassis.
It features a high-efficiency intake and exhaust – including a 3-stage electronically-controlled exhaust valve. This delivers:
• Improved running quality and quieter ride
• Automotive smart actuator that provides feedback to the ECU for more accurate position
and failsafe
• Fuel economy improvement
The electronic oil pump eliminates power-robbing gear drive – and provides more precise, improved oil delivery.
• 35% reduction in throttle effort
• More accurate & consistent oil delivery
• Altitude and temperature compensating
• Features diagnostics and failsafe
The engine weight was reduced by 3.5 lb., including a lightweight new engine mounting system and innovative, lightweight new materials that help reduce noise and weight.
Thermostat with Bypass:
• Warms up to operating temperature 40% faster
• Water flows through the engine at all times
• No possibility of cold shocking the engine
New Throttle Body:
• Lighter weight
• Reduced throttle effort
• Improved TPS location & orientation to prevent water intrusion
Improved Engine Air Flow
Polaris® drivetrain engineers optimized the airflow in the new 800 H.O. engine with high- efficiency intake and exhaust and free-flowing, less-restrictive air flow, resulting in increased power output.
All-New Crankshaft = Enhanced Acceleration
The new, lightweight crankshaft provides the same balance as the previous crankshaft – with a 2.5-pound weight reduction in rotating mass. That produces a 25% reduction in inertia, improved throttle response and increased acceleration. The engine reaches its optimal operating RPM faster.
In the 2013-2014 snocross racing season, this lighter crankshaft delivered holeshot-winning enhanced acceleration for Polaris snocross racers. Recreational riders will experience enhanced acceleration from corner to corner – plus the engine delivers significantly improved fuel economy at trail speeds.
Rider-Centric Comfort
The AXYSTM platform also raises the bar for rider comfort. Rider-Centric highlights of the AXYS platform include:
Integrated Storage: Storage was designed and developed right along with the AXYS platform, so it installs securely and easily, and features seamless, integrated styling that matches the sled's design lines.
Enhanced Wind Protection: The hood and windshield designs produce significantly enhanced wind protection for a rider, and the foil on the side panels further enhances protection.
Improved Left-Hand Controls: The new left-hand controls feature improved ergonomics, updated styling, and enhanced hand and thumb warmer control. Controls are easy to operate with gloves on, and have an improved tactile feel.
More Comfortable Seat: The new seat utilizes a new high-performance seat foam, and the seat design is narrower in front to provide greater maneuverability. The seat is easily interchangeable with an accessory 2-up seat for true 2-up seating.
Longer, Larger Running Boards: The new seat is complemented by wider running boards that give the rider more options in foot and leg positioning. RUSH® running boards have 15% more space, Switchback running board space is increased by 11%.
Industry's First LED Premium Lighting: Models built on the AXYSTM platform feature the industry's first LED headlights as standard equipment. New LED headlights deliver the industry's best lighting for significantly better visibility. Model Year 2015 AXYS LED lights are 30% brighter and nearly 1 lb. lighter.
Industry-Leading Color LCD Digital Gauge: Another industry first for Polaris®, the AXYS 60th Anniversary models feature the most advanced instrumentation in snowmobiling.
Premium Fit & Finish: Interfacing surfaces between body panels and components are shorter for minimized gaps.
AXYS PRO-S and PRO-X
Polaris is introducing the AXYS platform in two distinct, equally premium trim levels for both RUSH® and Switchback® models: PRO-S and PRO-XTM. Polaris dealers will stock PRO-S models, and PRO-X models are available exclusively through SnowCheck Select.
Compared to the PRO-S setup, PRO-X models have:

Thanks to 4Nines for the best summary of the AXYS features and benefits that I have seen on the internet, including the Polaris corporate websites!
Just want to point out that the new 800 H.O. engine is ONLY available in the AXYS chassis. It has special attachments for the motor mounts built into the motor castings, and would not install easily in a stock 2010-2015 PRO-RIDE chassis. Also the routing of the intake and exhaust are different.
UPDATE here is how the 3 stage electronically controlled Exhaust Valves work:
The valves are closed up to 6200 rpm.
at 6200 rpm the first stage opens.
at 7200 rpm the second stage opens.
The Electronic oil pump is controlled by the Engine Control Unit computer, so the potential for sophisticated oil delivery is there. In addition to throttle position and rpm, altitude and temperature are also used by the computer to decide how much oil to inject into the engine.
Sources in Polaris have identified problems that began during warmup on the 800 Cleanfire engine. The new system employs a thermostat that bypasses directly back into the motor, and can get the engine to operating temperature 40% faster. The coolant temperature readout on the Polaris IDD gauge will also make the rider aware of how warmup is progressing.
If you look closely at the section in post #1 regarding the 800 H.O. and the new lighter weight crankshaft, you will be able to understand how much is changed on this engine.
Reducing crankshaft weight by 2.5 pounds reduces its inertia (resistance to change in RPM) by 25%. This will allow greater acceleration.

The Polaris website now has some additional information about engine changes:These are some of the features also in the new 800 H.O. I have not found pictures of this new 600, but it could look very similar to the 800 H.O. on the outside.Now in the AXYS™ chassis, the 600 engine features new lightweight integrated mounts, electronic oil pump and bypass thermostat.
This information is found in the "Overview" tab of the View the sled.

Last year Tea Party supporters stormed the halls of our legislatures and elected a group of individuals for whom the plight of any American earning less than a million dollars a year was of no interest. In Ohio, they got a law passed which limited collective bargaining rights for government employees and made them pay more for health care and their pensions. Conservative Republicans hailed this law as a sign America did not want anything to do with those "liberals."
A funny thing happened along the political path leading to reality. People in Ohio woke up to realize the only people Republicans cared about were those with lots and lots of money. In yesterday's referendum on the restrictive bargaining law, the vote was 62% to repeal it and 38% to keep it. The people have spoken. So long Tea Party, head back to Wall Street.

A few days ago, I think cause I can't really tell time, mom was making some wonderful aromas in the kitchen. She was putting this wonderful smelling food into a container on the thing that makes fire, she calls it a stove. I wanted to get a closer sniff, but of course she would not let me, what a mean mom.
So as she fills the container it is creating even better smells, but she is wrinkling her nose and muttering how she didn't realize liver stunk so bad, maybe there is something wrong with her nose.
So she puts the wonderful smelling concoction in a noisy container and it comes out looking like the stuff out of the cans, yummm. She then proceeds to put it in a dish telling me it has to "cool down".
Later at dinner time she takes that dish out of the big white cold thing they call the fridge, and adds some to my kibble! Oh, joyous day that I get to finally taste that wonderful smell! I follow her as she carries my dish, making sure none of it falls out. Happily I eat the wonderful mix then go back and ask for more, she looks at me like I am nuts and tells me that is all.
The next day I got more of that food with my kibble, and every day since! What a great mom, she probably deserves some extra kisses from me.
You know when you find something on the side of the road with such an interesting aroma you have to taste it? I found one of those and took a bite even though mom told me no, I couldn't resist. I can tell ya it did not taste as good as it smelled, but it was no biggie at the time.
Later I was lying in front of the couch watching tv, mom and dad were on the couch. My tummy felt a little funny, but I farted a few times and felt better. All of a sudden mom and dad started saying that wierd name again, Stinky Butt McPutin. I don't know who Stinky Butt McPutin is, maybe one of those moving pictures on the tv?
If anyone knows who this Stinky Butt McPutin is, let me know, because when mom and dad say it they look at me. Maybe I look like him?
It was sunny today, which I love with the snow, but mom was busy in the office tearing apart the computer thingy so I stayed around to supervise. She put the harness on me later so I knew a walk was on the way, love the walks. We went our usual route to the side road where I stop and she unhooks me from her and I get to run free as a bird. Ok, she prefers I stay on the road so I try and do that. I stopped a few times and rubbed my back into the road, it feels sooo good.
After the walk and a nap I watched while mom cooked some great smelling beef, I left a nice pile of drool on the floor for her, heh heh. Serves her right for shooing me out of the kitchen.
In the evening mom and dad cleared a spot on the couch for me, so I climbed up and layed between them and relaxed. Then they started telling me I was hogging the couch, I can't help it if I stretch out while relaxing. I wonder if one of them is going to make popcorn?

The morning was grim.
Mom woke me earlier then usual, whispering something about a family outing. Her lips were trembling and her eyes were nervously flitting around the room, as if afraid that someone was lurking behind the curtains, ready to bounce out and kill her.
I wiped the sleep away from my eyes and dressed in the cold darkness of my small bedroom. I could hear my father shouting in the living room. He wanted breakfast.
The sun had barely risen when we left the house. I was confused but too tired to ask questions. Dad was driving the car, his hands clenching the wheels so tightly I thought he might just break them in half. Mom had her cheek pressed against the chilled window, I could tell that …

Hi guys, I just picked up a base 2014 981 back in August and have about 1500 miles on it. It is a manual transmission and am definitely experiencing the same issue as Gator4.
However, the issue I'm about to describe may be a separate problem (hence the separate post).
I have a rather short commute to/from work in a lot of stop and go traffic. I notice that if I'm driving casually and shifting at around 3000 RPMs, I notice the oh-so-slightest bucking at around 1500-2500 RPMs in 3rd and 4th gear. At first I thought that maybe it was the minor bumps in the road but I realize I feel this all the time. Now that I notice it, it bugs the **** out of me.
It happens with Sport Mode ON and OFF.
I actually brought it to my dealer and had a service tech take a spin with me. I was unable to reproduce Gator4's issue but the tech said he did notice this slight bucking. He brought it in for about a half hour and said he couldn't find anything.
So if any 981 owners want to try this out, I'd be curious to see if you notice it. Drive casually while slowly accelerating...shifting gears at around 3000 RPMs...keeping the slightest pressure on the gas pedal, check to see if you feel the slightest hesitation / bucking as you pass thorough the 1500-2500 RPM range in 3rd and in 4th gear. Tell me I'm not crazy :-)
Thanks guys

Athens is the capital and the largest city of the country, with over 40% of the population of Greece. It is a city which in the course of its history has had the glorious privelege of being the birthplace of Civilisation and Democracy. Through this historical course, Athens has inherited important monuments, bearing witness to the culture of all phases of her existence.
The cultural area of Athens, comprising the archaeological sites, the Byzantine monuments and neoclassical buildings, together with her natural surroundings form a unique inheritance and an inexhaustible wealth for further development of the city. Archaeological sites and monuments of all periods are particularly numerous in the historic centre. They are to be found in large aggregates, including both ancient (Acropolis and the South Slope of the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, Kerameikos, Academy of Plato) and modern monuments. They exist also in areas such as the Plaka, Psyrri, Theseion and Gazi. In addition isolated monuments are scattered throughout the urban web: these are mainly archaeological sites that came to light during separate excavations (in the Plaka area), and Byzantine, Post-Byzantine and more recent monuments.
Most of the aggregates and single monuments lie within an area centered on the Acropolis. It runs from the Panathenaic Stadium, surrounds the Acropolis, and continues on to the Academy of Plato. This zone includes areas of considerable importance from the standpoint of history, archaeology, architecture, monuments, environment and city-planning. These areas are: the Academy of Plato, the Demosion Sema (national cemetery of antiquity), the Sacred Way, the Theseion, the Kerameikos, the Psyrri neighbourhood, the Ancient Agora, the Roman Agora, Monasteraki, Plaka, Anaphiotika, Hill of the Muses (Philippapos, Pnyx, Observatory), the Acropolis with its monuments, the Makriyanni neighbourhood where the new Acropolis Museum is to be built, the Olympieion, Ardettos hill and the Panathenaic Stadium, the Zappeion and the area of the Cultural Centre.
At present, despite efforts that have been made from time to time, the Archaeological Sites of Athens are divided, unconnected with each other and quite unrelated to everyday life. The monuments are isolated and not always interrelated with their urban and monumental environment. The result is that the historical continuity of the city is interrupted in the perception of those exposed to the life of the city whether as inhabitants who pass by or visit daily these areas, or as foreign tourists. As far as the tourists are concerned, the presentation of the monuments is fragmented to the extent that in general their visit is confined to the Acropolis.
Given the present situation, it is most important for Athens that the archaeological sites in the centre of the city be unified to form a functional and comprehensible whole: an archaeological park in which the monuments and all the antiquities have the prominence they deserve, emphasising their aesthetic and educational value and the historical continuity of the city. The creation of such a centre for the Athenians in a functional area that has been so greatly improved culturally, aesthetically and environmentally, while improving the quality of life, will also emphasize the historical character of Athens. It will give the visitor to the area a better idea of the diachronic development of the city. Moreover, the organisation of the area will provide the opportunity for a longer visit and one that is simpler, pleasanter and more informative.
Melina Mercouri saw clearly that the productive capital of Athens was her cultural heritage and that her contemporary cultural output was based on this. With this in mind the programme for the unification of the Archaeological sites of Athens was launched in 1985. For decades it had been the aspiration of many architects, a vision of life and breath for Athens.
The area covered in the study is around 7,000 stremmata, and it extends for some 4,000 metres. The entire area is divided up by important roadways which are in effect historical and cultural barriers. Places and monuments in the historic centre of the city, which today is the focus of the environmental problem, are going downhill day by day in an area whose chief characteristics are pollution, the traffic problem, a lack of open and green spaces and the notable decline of these same spaces and the area around them.
The programme applies modern ideas about the protection of cultural heritage, with the protection and display of monuments and sites of all types and dates. Every one of the monuments is to be respected. This is in contrast to the outlook of the first years following the Revolution when ancient monuments were preserved and displayed while Byzantine and more recent monuments were left to their fate (for example in the Ancient and Roman Agoras, Library of Hadrian, and so forth).
All together, in accordance with the aims of the programme, the zone of unification will be part of a wider network which will be centered on the archaeological sites but will also include the main areas of greenery in Athens. The archaeological sites will be connected in fact with public and open areas, public installations, and areas used for cultural activity and relaxation. The area will be interconnected by roads used daily by Athenians for access to the commercial centre; similarly it will be connected with existing and planned cultural establishments. The programme will enable the inhabitants of Athens to have a 4 kilometre long archaeological park with an area of 7,000 stremmata, and an Historic Centre aesthetically, environmentally and culturally evolved. This will be a haven of life and culture within a city that respects the human being.
The level of approach is balanced between a regulative and city-planning study. It includes, that is, proposals of broad strategy, together with a considerable number of proposals in detail for specific sections. In order to put the programme into effect, in 1993 the Office of Unification of the Archaeological Sites of Athens was formed under the Ministry of Culture. Its task is to assist in carrying out the studies for unification.

I wish to share my 2013 animation demo reel. I recently completed a six month course at Pixel Blue College in Edmonton, Alberta. I had just over a month to create the entire project. I had no real animating experience walking in to it, but I studied the Principles of Animation in the Animator's Survival Kit and these are the results:
The scenes were modeled, textured, and lit myself.
I used Maya's Viewpoint 2.0 with Ambient Occlusion to playblast out the scenes.
I really appreciate critiques and ways to work on smoothing out my animations. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Advice wanted for San Fran area please!
Greetings to everyone!
I will be going to school in San Francisco in the fall (currently Dallas, Tx) and need some advice on a couple things, ANY advice would be greatly appreciated! From what I have seen (and I've physically called and email marinas in the bay area), everywhere is several years waiting list for liveaboards in San Fran. I was planning on finally buying my own sailboat and living on it while I go to school, and by the time I got out of school taking a sailing trip to asia. I've read different sources that say it's not really a big deal if you liveaboard without permission as long as you are respectful and that by actually getting to know people, might get permission in only a few months, and also that there are some marinas where that is just impossible. What would you say? I don't have any friends in San Fran and really that is my only plan for housing so far. Again anything you want to add would be awesome!
Where are you looking to live? On the penninsula (near SF City) would be tough to impossible find a marina that would let you live aboard. If you don't mind a bit of traveling to get to your campus I could point you to a marina or two.
The problem is that environmental restrictions are limiting marinas to 10% max live-aboards. So the number of allowed live-aboard slips are very low. In addition any slip on the SF side of the bay is obtained via a wait list to begin with so getting live-aboard status there is nearly impossible. Several marinas don't allow live-aboards at all; like Pier 39 for one.
I would not expect to be a sneak-aboard; many marinas now have transponder key entry to the docks and the security system logs your entry onto the dock and to bathroom facilities. If you are "on" your boat too often it will flag your account so they can follow up and find out if you are spending every night aboard.
thanks for the reply
I pretty much figured I would have to travel a bit, but how much? Like an hour or so? What are the marinas? Thank you for the information!
Try farther down the peninsula, like redwood city, you should be able to find something.
I heard Berkley has a few.
I think richmonds marina bay has a few liveaboard slips open. Berkeley has a waiting list. Marina bay has lots of empty slips and probably one or two liveaboard slots left. I think the minimum boat length is 30' but check with Steve the harbor master, or Dale the AHM
Union Point Marina also has some nice lien sales from time to time.
However, I am not 100% about what kind of setting that is for liveaboard.
For a student probably cool. Just check it out at night and find out who the neighbors are.
look into richerdson bay on the north end of the gate. that is where saucileto is and there are several marinas there or you can anchor there to.
If you are still looking, let me know. I just checked out most of the marinas in the bay area.

Baseball, softball on shortlist for Tokyo 2020
TOKYO (Reuters) - Baseball and softball top the shortlist of sports competing for spots as additional attractions at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics along with homegrown favorite karate, organizers said on Monday.
Bowling, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, surfing and wushu were also included among the final eight, whittled down by a committee from the original 26 sports which applied for inclusion earlier this month.
As part of reforms initiated by International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach last year, Games hosts have the chance to bring in one or more sports popular in their country to boost ratings and attract greater sponsorship.
Organizers would prefer sports already popular in Japan so new venues would not need to be built and add to ballooning costs.
Baseball and softball, united under the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC), are strong favorites to return to the Olympics for the first time since Asia last hosted the Summer Games, in Beijing in 2008.
"This is a great day for our sport," WBSC president Riccardo Fraccari said in a statement.
"Today baseball and softball -- and the millions of athletes and fans who call it their sport -- reached first base."
Karate has never been contested at the Olympics. Judo, its fellow homegrown martial art, first joined in 1964, when Tokyo last hosted the Summer Games, and has been included on every program since 1972.
Squash officials, snubbed three-times in their bid for inclusion at the 2012 Games in London, next year's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo 2020, were delighted to have another opportunity. Continued...

I'm A Celebrity star Helen Flanagan has certainly been through the wringer this week as not only was she held hostage by armed raiders in her home in Cheshire, it's also been alleged by a tabloid newspaper today that her boyfriend, footballer Scott Sinclair, has been sending "a string of sexy messages" to TV presenter Donatella Panayiotou!
The paper claims that he sent Donatella – who, back in 2010 narrowly escaped being killed by a crazed gunman who was apparently trying to assassinate her, but instead murdered three revelers at an event she'd organised – a text which read, "U would look so much better with everything off".
The Sun adds, "The England Under-21 winger also urged her to send sexy photos and tell him 'dirty' stories."
However, neither party has commented on the paper's claim, so we can only stress that these are allegations.
Meanwhile, the Sunday People reports that Helen and Scott will not be returning to their house in Prestbury, where of course the robbery took place, and will instead be moving into a new home in Berkshire.
A source close to Helen said, "She was absolutely petrified when she saw the burglars coming in and she no longer feels comfortable in her own home.
"It took so much courage for her to go back there on Friday because she was still really worried…
"Because of Scott's footballing commitments, she's not sure she could ever stay there overnight on her own so it makes sense to make the move down south to Berkshire.
"Helen has been keen to move nearer to London as she sees that's where the work is for her.
"Scott's family aren't that far away so it is the perfect solution."
Helen has been staying with footballer Wes Brown and his wife Leanne – who owned the mansion in Cheshire that Helen and Scott lived in – until Scott returned from a trip abroad.
Here's a reminder of a news report about the break-in…

Hi mamas!
I'm not a part of this group, but just found out that we might be moving to Oahu next summer (DH is in Navy). I'm wondering if you can give me advice on a few things:
1.) What are my options as far as natural birth options, preferably birth centers? We will have a 3.5 yr old and a 10 month old when we move there, but plan on having more and I want to know my options!
2.)What are the options for natural/whole foods eating there? I'm thinking specifically about grass fed beef, pastured eggs, organic chickens and raw milk. Will I be able to get any of this stuff?!
3.) Any other advice you can give is much appreciated!
Navy wife to my since 2005, Mommy to dd L since 2009 and ds R arrived via water birth 8/6/2011
I was just about to post the same questions! I too will be moving to Oahu in the Spring...US Navy!
I am looking forward to the responses!!
I am also wondering about good doctor/ped/DO to take my daughter too.
Sorry if it's a bit late to reply, but I'd start looking here. I live on the Big Island, but if I lived on Oahu I'd definitely be contacting them.
Mama Bear , Papa Bear and Baby Bear (8/11)
I live on Oahu, husband is in the Navy too. I'm going to Tripler for a natural childbirth (hopefully) , and they've been surprisingly open minded about everything. I think it depends on how natural you're trying to go... there are certain things they kinda insist on, like they'll do intermittent fetal monitoring, etc, but if everything is going well, they will pretty much leave you alone (from what I've heard from another natural childbirth mom).
The one big thing at Tripler that's great is that they are very well versed in the fact that you have the right turn down any treatment. It's really been very empowering for me to hear over and over again that, "Well, this is the way we like to do things, but if you feel differently, that's your right. We can't do anything to you or your baby without your okay." It's a bit frustrating at times to have to push back against their recommondations but ultimately, the choice is yours.
I live on the Windward side and my Bradley instructor says that Castle Hospital here is also welcoming for natural births -- she had all four of her kids naturally there. They have more of a "birth center" set up attached to the hospital that you might like. It's our backup hospital in case we can't make it out to Tripler for some reason.
I know it's too late for the original poster but hopefully it helps someone else!
If you had an option to go somewhere besides Tripler I would. If you don't have your baby during "working hours" you won't be with a midwife, you'll be with a nurse that will try to pump you full of oxytocin, and I even had a MW there who didn't bother to check the position of my son before she broke my water which made for an excruciating, slow labor and eventually ended with a C-Section.
As far as food options there is Whole Foods in Kahala and soon to be open WF in Kailua. There are Down to Earths, natural and organic, in town, kapolei, and pearl city but they don't carry meat or eggs. Kokua is a co-op and they bring in grass fed beef from a neighbor island. There aren't any dairies on Oahu except Naked Cow and they don't do milk but at least they have natural, pastured soft cheeses available at the farmers' markets and WF. Kale's in Hawaii Kai, by the marina, has lots of natural food and they do carry meat, they also carry "delicious dishes," raw, vegan ready to eat meals and ala carte items made locally.

DJ apologizes to family of British nurse who killed self after 'royal' prank call
By Michael Holden
LONDON (Reuters) - An Australian DJ who hoaxed a London hospital treating Prince William's wife Kate made an emotional apology on Friday to the family of the nurse who killed herself days after she answered the prank call.
Indian-born Jacintha Saldanha, 46, was found hanging in December 2012, three days after she answered the call from DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian in which they had pretended to be Queen Elizabeth and William's father, Prince Charles.
Saldanha put the call through to another nurse who disclosed details of Kate's condition during treatment for acute morning sickness she was suffering in the early stages of pregnancy with son Prince George, leading to headlines around the world.
At the inquest into her death, Coroner Fiona Wilcox said the hoax was "clearly pressing on her mind" when Saldanha stunned family, friends and colleagues by committing suicide in her hospital lodgings.
Greig voluntarily flew over from Australia to attend the inquest at London's Royal Courts of Justice, and the coroner allowed her to make a statement after the court ruled Saldanha took her own life.
"I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I have wanted to say this to you for so long," a tearful Greig said directly to Saldanha's husband and two children.
"This tragedy is always going to stay with me," she added, weeping as she returned to her seat near the family.
The hoax call was made to the Edward VII hospital at about 5:30 a.m. London time when Saldanha, in her role as night sister, was the most senior figure in the hospital and so dealt with any external calls. Continued...

I'm a hobbyist sculptor and artist in hiatus as of the moment, but I like figures and toys in general that portray characters and concepts from the series I like as a form of art. I'm always seeking for complexity and toyetic value provided by the engineering and the overall presentation of the things I buy and collect.
I'm also eager to try and make my own figures and toy prototypes of my own, as I really enjoy the works of this kind of industry; so, I just hope I can get something done soon.

Opps, was meant to reply to you earlier!
Yep, I would love to own that Cecilia too, she is quite the centerpiece. But only if her price does drop a bit, the shipping costs alone would be quite high already. Yes have to own two in case a meteor hits your display :D
Ahh that's a shame, I also am cutting down on spending on this Hobby. I'm on contract work now so need to keep more money in the bank just in case xD The Hibiki protoype looks really good! I hope the final product lives up to it, I'll let you know if she is worth the rather high price.
I'm curious so see how your sculpturing looks, you did mention you've done it before. You'll have to send me some photos some time :)
I actually ordered a F.A.G too (mfc link); ! I really liked the design and thought it would be a good start getting into building kits. Yep it seems some of the older ones have gone up in price.
I really enjoyed the strike withces series and the movie, very good action and shots, especially the air combat scenes. I hope Alter will release a Shizuka figure encyclopedia #35242 one day.
Have you seen the new Brave witches series with the 502nd witches? It's a different studio and the animation seems not quite as good, but its good to see the series is still alive.
Ahhh I pre-ordered item #167194 when she came out and have been surprised her price has gone up so much! Pretty much all the other witches dropped dramatically in price. I hope you can find her one day at a reasonable price, she is one of my favorites!
The only problem with collecting the witches is how much room each one takes, but I love the dynamic poses Alter chooses. I Think I have 8 of the main cast so far but half of them are still boxed up till I get more display room. My favourite would be Erica item #78647, I love her smile, wink and salute pose.
All the best with the house project! I'm sure you have an awesome figure display planned as part of the house :P

Hope you're doing great. This year so far I'm collecting some bounty from Mandarake stores; finding some good stuff I missed out.
Also, some of the new figures had gone crazy with the prices. @___@
Gotta be a little more selective and get primarily from IS, Neptune and Highschool DxD series, which are my priority. I wish I could put some on those recently and nearly released Symphogear figures; maybe something to hunt for the future...
How are you doing lately?Hi man, happy birthday!! :D
Hey Thanks Man! another year already haha.
Oh yes prices seem quite insane these days, I did pre-order (mfc link) in the end but 20k+ is really a trend I hope doesn't become the norm. I guess at least she is quite a sizable figure.
I remember you ordered item #166888 (or two) back when we met up, I'm surprised she hasn't been released yet, Hopefully this will be the last delay for her! Ahh I have started watching some Highschool DxD and would like to purchase a nice Koneko figure at some point :)
Really looking forward to item #487046 coming out this month (if no delays) Her price was also a bit sore for me, but still better compared to Bellfine's quality and pricing for Tsubasa and Chris. I was hoping for more Symphogear figures in the wonfes just now, but I think I only saw some photos of GKs.
It's been going good here! It's been busy at work this year so plenty of overtime which helps fund this increasing expensive hobby xD. I managed to pickup a few Alter Strike witches figures from a
local seller for a good price the other week (sealed condition). Was so happy to find another collector here in Perth! xD

It was, and remains, a fundamentally decent place. Of course, there will be former staff with individual bad experiences of O&M who may feel differently, but alongside Abbott Mead Vickers (run by ex-O&M managers), it is conspicuously an agency that tries to conduct its dealings with staff and clients alike honourably.
The same can be said of the agency's work, built on the austerity of Ogilvy's doctrines.
In 1936, at the age of 25, he declared: 'Every advertisement must tell the whole sales story ... every word in the copy must count.' Later, he said: 'Permanent success has rarely been built on frivolity ... people do not buy from clowns.'
Some of his sayings sound mildly patronising in the context of the 90s, but they were radical for their time, and still hold largely true: 'The consumer is not a moron, she is your wife,' and 'Never run an advertisement you would not want your own family to see,' are probably the most famous.
More recently, he was better known for his kneejerk reaction to being acquired by Martin Sorrell. However, Ogilvy reconciled himself to the fact, accepting the non-executive chairmanship of WPP for three years.
It would be a shame if the more recent post-retirement image of Ogilvy as a wealthy recluse tending magnificent gardens in his famous French chateau obscured his business achievements.
They were phenomenal. He grew Hewitt, Ogilvy, Benson & Mather from two men and no clients in 1948 to the international monolith that floated in 1966, along the way creating some of advertising's most famous icons: 'The Man in the Hathaway Shirt', 'Commander Schweppes' and others.
Ogilvy, a former Aga cookers salesman who went on to work for George Gallup in New York, was neither ashamed of selling nor afraid of using research. Although sayings such as: 'We prefer the discipline of knowledge to the anarchy of ignorance. We pursue knowledge the way a pig pursues truffles,' might suggest a scientific approach, Ogilvy taught that advertising was a blend of art and science. 'You cannot bore people into buying your product,' he said, 'you can only interest them in buying it.' He had no time for 'luvvies'.
David Ogilvy was one of the handful of men who shaped the advertising industry that we know today. He dedicated his remarkable working life to improving the standards of that industry. He will be greatly missed.
PERSPECTIVE: David Ogilvy's death robs the industry of a true phenomenon
I never met David Ogilvy, and feel the poorer for it. But although I'm too young to have experienced his ads contemporaneously, I feel confident I know what he stood for. In part, this is down to his writing - including two of the most famous of advertising books: Confessions of an Advertising Man (1963) and Ogilvy on Advertising (1983). But, in truth, it's more to do with the company he kept: the people he employed at Ogilvy & Mather, and the overwhelmingly strong culture he fostered.
It was, and remains, a fundamentally decent place. Of course, there will be former staff with individual bad experiences of O&M who may feel differently, but alongside Abbott Mead Vickers (run by ex-O&M managers), it is conspicuously an agency that tries to conduct its dealings with staff and clients alike honourably.

Not much I want to do with K-Fed, and searching the internet is close to the top of it. Why? Because I don't want him staring at me while I search for you know…stuff.
So if you want to spend $2M on some photos of Angelina and her son then be my guest. Five minutes after they are published everyone will just right click and save anyway and not give you credit. But, hey at least you made the news for paying $2M for the photos. Good for you. Now the celebs will be sure to give you all the best scoop, or at least exactly what they want you to print. You would think that if you pay $2M for some worthless photos that you could at least get to be snarky every once in awhile.

Murray Youth Mural Service Project with Recently Reduced Arts Education Funding
Sixth grade students from Viewmont Elementary teamed up with youth from their school receiving special education services to create a mural of colorful alphabet collages to benefit Cricket Care, the District's daycare center benefiting teen parents.
Murray, UT 84107
Date: Friday, March 23rd
Time: 4:00-4:45pm
In these tough economic times, educational resources need to be placed where they will have the strongest impact on the critical thinking skills that will help youth become self-reliant and independent. Just as arts education funding receives massive cuts from the Utah legislature, Murray youth complete a mural project that proves the value of what is being lost.
Artist Roger Whiting met with youth from Viewmont Elementary School in Murray once a week between October 2011 and January 2012. Students were chosen from the sixth grade classes of the school as well as from the population of youth receiving special education services. As the ability levels of the students involved in the project were very diverse, Whiting developed a project to allow all the youth to express themselves and make a valuable contribution.
Whiting taught the youth about the modernist art movement of the early twentieth century, and how it transitioned into the abstract expressionist art movement, creating artists such as Jackson Pollock who created art by splatter-painting. Whiting also taught the youth about Eric Carle, a youth who grew up in Nazi Germany and learned the value of free self-expression which he used later in life to design beautiful children's books using collages of splattered and scribbled papers.
The youth then spent the next few weeks using techniques such as splattering, scribbling and sgraffito to create dynamic textures on colored papers which they used to create collages of the alphabet. Those collages were then printed onto ceramic tiles which have been installed in a mural at Cricket Care, the Murray School District's daycare center benefiting teen parents. The youth also worked with Whiting to assemble the mosaic border surrounding the tiles.
On Friday, March 23rd at 4:00pm the youth will assemble at Cricket Care with Whiting to celebrate their accomplishments in completing this mural. Light refreshments will be served.
This project was made possible with a grant from Art Access Utah, in cooperation with the Utah State Office of Education Special Education Services Unit. Equally important, the project was possible because of close collaboration with Crystal Kobzeff, Murray School District's Arts Specialist, who is on staff at Murray District with the cooperation of the Beverly Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program. This program sends art specialists to work in elementary schools throughout Utah to integrate the arts (dance, theater, music, visual arts) with the other core educational subjects.
In the past the Utah legislature has approved funding to match private funding. This year, however, only half of the $4 million requested to continue the program was supplied by the legislature(

The attacking qualities of underfire winger Dean Morgan have been robustly backed by Oxford United manager Chris Wilder.
United's boss was deeply disappointed with the criticism aimed at Morgan by some fans on Saturday.
The 28-year-old has divided opinion since arriving on loan from Chesterfield last month, mixing flashes of inspiration with body language which has at times provoked frustration on the terraces.
It reached a new level in the goalless draw with Gillingham, when Morgan was booed by a minority of supporters for sitting down in the second half shortly before being substituted.
After the game it became clear the actions were due to a minor groin injury, which forced him out of the game.
Morgan tweeted on Saturday evening: "So misunderstood!! Thanks for all the support!!", although he has since been backed by many U's supporters on Twitter in response.
The boos were not welcomed by Wilder, who exchanged words with some supporters behind the bench.
He said: "I didn't like the Dean Morgan situation because he's putting a shift in for the club and I said that.
"I had (first-team coach) Andy Melville telling me to calm down a little bit, but I don't like that – he's playing for the football club.
"He's not a player that runs about and smashes into people, but he has the ability, he single-handedly got Aldershot in the play-offs two years ago and he was an excellent player for Chesterfield last year.
"There will be days when he'll play like that, but I've got to make a decision."
The U's boss has been criticised in some quarters for naming a three-man forward line of loan players – Morgan, Cristian Montano and Scott Rendell – in preference to contracted players such as James Constable and Oli Johnson, who have been on the bench in recent games.
Wilder felt injuries and suspensions had forced his hand in recruiting the players and is happy with their contribution.
He said: "It's absolute rubbish, what do I do, not play them?
"It's not my fault players have got injured, I have to play loan players.
"I think (Morgan and Montano) are typical wingers, we've got players that I want them to come alive in the final third, I don't want them in my defensive third.
"Sometimes they have to put a shift in, but I don't want them tackling back, we gamble and leave the forwards out of it because when we win the ball we want three targets to go forward.
"Some people like Dean, some don't, but when he's getting abuse that's really poor, I can't do anything about those people."

Hi guys, we'd like to tell you about this exciting project in Ethiopia called Girl Power Skate Club. It was created by an organization we already told you about: The Ethiopian Skateboard Park project, "a children's development project group devoted to the development of co-educational learning facilities for street children in Ethiopia built around skateboarding", consisting of "a school built around a skateboard park that provides daily English, IT, General trade, Art, Music and Skateboarding classes".
About the Girl Power Skate Club, team member Wosene Haile says: It is "an exciting new addition to the SKATEWORKS Outreach program in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. A program concentrating on the motivational needs of young girls and using the aspirational and confidence building aspects of Skateboarding. Girlpower skate club is headed up by myself, Wosene Haile and I am an Ethiopian woman living in Addis Ababa. Every week we run regular skate clinics throughout the different areas of Addis Ababa. Some of the distinct areas I like to concentrateon is shyness and general confidance. Girls doing sport in Ethiopia has a longhistory and especially in running as we have just seen in the London Olympics, but apart from that they take a supportive role in the home as they grow up andmature in readiness for the work force and marriage. A young girl's upbringing is centered around the home with many duties of Coffee making, going out to buy bread for breakfast in the early morning and houshold chores. The boys do not get off scott free by any means but most of the domestic tasks fall upon the girls.
GIRL POWER SKATE CLUB concentrates on motivating young women and encouraging them to try new things and stretch them selves to their full potential, Girl Power."
The same organization also publishes the first skate magazine in Eastern Africa (see below for free download). Find them at ethiopianskateparkproject.blogspot.com and check their profile on afropunk.com. Download the first issue for free here.

Come see our whole project for Ethiopian Street children in our magazine, choc full of pics and information,
Hello Blaqvenus, you should get in touch with them directly (see websites in the article).
This is amazing! How can I get involved?!
This is the most exciting and radical project I've seen in years! This is really reaching the ones who need something so special. These skills will be useful in many domains of the young girls life. I wanna join/donate/help.....Yippee!

The following items can be placed in the green cart for collection:
Hint: Use boxboard or one sheet of paper to wrap wet food waste.
Fat, cooking oil & grease (also known as FOG) should not be poured down sink drains or toilets. It can stick to sewer pipes and cause a household sewage backup. These materials should be disposed in the green cart.
Tips for disposing of FOG:
Managing organic waste in your own yard not only saves tax dollars by reducing trucking costs, it's easy to do and good for the environment!
Properties that receive curbside collection are entitled to receive a green cart at no charge. Carts are assigned to the property - not the owner. If you move, the cart and mini bin stay with the property. If you have moved in to a house that does not have a green cart, please call 311.
Residents are responsible for the proper care and use of their green cart and mini bin. If a cart has been damaged for any reason, please call 311 to arrange repair. It is important to keep carts in repair, as a small amount of damage today could lead to bigger problems down the road.
In some cases (ie grates or cracks) carts must be empty prior to being repaired or replaced. If the cart is currently empty, please do not use the cart until the repair is complete. Ask a neighbour to share their cart or hold materials in a separate container pending repair/replacement.
Carts must be left in a location easily accessible to the contractor. We will not go behind houses or fences or in garages unless the homeowner is present. We do not call ahead, so please make sure the cart is accessible.
Green Cart Tip Chart
|I want to:
|Reduce Flies
|Minimize Odours
|Keep containers clean
|Minimize freezing
|Place wet food waste in boxboard or wrap using one sheet of newspaper.
|Alternate layers of wet waste (e.g., food) with layers of dry waste (e.g., leaves).
|Empty your mini bin daily (after the main meal); you may also rinse with a mild detergent.
|Place the cart curbside for every collection even if it's not full.
|Store the cart outside in a ventilated, shady, convenient location, away from outdoor activity.
|Fruit flies are more common during warm weather. In the kitchen capture fruit flies with a bowl of vinegar covered with plastic wrap with several small holes in it.
|Wetness contributes to odours in summer and freezing in winter. By wrapping wet food waste in soiled/non-recyclable paper and boxboard (e.g., paper towel, cereal boxes), you can reduce wetness & odours, and help prevent nuisances.

The real negative to having a rainy practice day is it cuts down on already limited practice time, Mark Tucker said. With much time spent idling through stump-filled backwaters, time is at a higher premium on the Red River.
"The biggest thing is the water being so dirty and just trying to maneuver," Tucker said. "The water is dirty. You can't see the stumps, the shallow water, you can't remember all that stuff."
Ken Cook's analysis using BassGold.com date found that this Classic should be won in backwater, and getting back to check out them out can take valuable time.
"You can't get around like you can in a lake. You're not covering as much water as you'd like," he said. "It takes time to get through them, so you can burn a day up in a hurry."
Tucker said one has to take the allotted time, the three-day practice period that ends Sunday and Wednesday's final practice, to check out as many places as they can then analyze which will be a winner. If anglers don't get that accomplished, they will be sunk.
"You have to keep an eye on places that have potential. You get in a little bit of a hurry, you can go right by some fish," the St. Louisian said. "You have to be calm and just take it minute by minute. You can't rush around out there."
Even if time inspecting a number of areas isn't fruitful, and the rain prohibited the fish from biting, an angler has to have something to fall back on.
"If you don't have a very good practice, you're just going to have to go back and fish the best looking stuff," he said. "You don't have a whole lot of time to investigate stuff."
