Surfing Equipment - What do I need?
One of the biggest barriers to people wanting to take up the sport of surfing is the fact that you need a surfboard, and surfboards generally don't come cheap. If you are in a cooler climate, you will also need a wetsuit. These don't come cheap either.
Luckily we have it slightly easier these days than days gone by. We have access to online auction sites which make it quite a bit easier to pick up a cheap wetsuit or board. Also, traditional surfboard making was done locally. These days there are now lots of cheap imports which are fine to begin surfing on.
To start surfing, all you really need is the following:
A surfboard. Preferably 7-9 feet long. Nice and stable and the wider the better.
A wetsuit or board-shorts. I would also recommend a rash vest to prevent the dreaded nipple-rash!
A legrope. This is really important, you don't want to be chasing your board into the shore every time you catch a wave.
Some waves!

Tips for Beginners and Pro's
The two main components of surfing are paddling out and dropping in. While there is definitely a lot more to surfing, these are two things to master. The best way to learn how to surf is first hand, so after reading this article, go out there and surf, surf, surf!
When paddling out to surf, you have a few different choices to make. You can ditch your board, paddle over the top, dive early or try to paddle under the lip. Deciding what to do is all just a matter of experience. When paddling out, always charge straight at the wave as hard as you can. Even if you think you're going to get beat by the wave, just keep paddling straight toward the wave. The wave is moving toward you, so if you keep moving toward it, you will be surprised at how quickly you can get there, and possible even slip right under the lip.
The trick to piercing an already broken wave is depth. You need to get below the broken water of the wave into the calm water below and keep swimming forward. The deeper you can get under the wave, the safer you will be from the force of the breaking wave. Duck dive deep, or ditch your surfboard and dive down. As the wave passes over you, push off with your feet and streamline your body. As soon as you break the surface, get back on your surfboard and paddle like crazy.
When dropping in on a wave while surfing, always remember that where your head goes, your body follows. Lead with your head. If you want to go down the face of the wave, you have to keep your head down. Stretch your neck, put your chin near the deck of your surfboard, and hurl your every thought and inspiration down the face of the wave as you paddle. Only when you are sure you are sliding down the face of the wave should you slide lithely to your feet and start dealing with your bottom turn.

Learn to Surf: Surfing Basics In One Day
Make sure you get a surfboard that is a least 9' long. You want it to be thick and wide as this will insure it's buoyant and stable. A good choice for learning are those soft-top boards that are...are like giant Boogie Boards.
Practice these first steps on the sand before you get in the water:
1. Lay the board with it's fin, (or skeg), down in the sand so the top, (or deck), is facing up.
2. Lay on the board on your stomach so your head is about 2/3 of the way towards the front, (or nose), of the board. Since you will spend a lot of time laying on your board you should invest in a rash guard or other UV protective surf shirt such as a StayDry Shirt to protect your stomach from getting a rash and your back from getting sunburned.
3. This next part is done all in one, quick motion: bring your hands up near your chest and grab the sides of the board then jump up and bring your feet up to where your hands are so you are now crouched on your feet and holding the board. Be sure you bring your feet up and under you so you are on your feet near the center of the board and that one foot is ahead of the other, (which foot is up to you).
4. Slowly stand upright as you bring your arms out to the sides for balance. Be sure to keep your knees bent.
Practice this technique,(called a 'pop-up'), until you can quickly and smoothly jump to your feet in one motion.
Now you're ready to hit the water.
Go to a beach that either has small, gentle waves or lots of whitewater you can ride on. Whitewater, (or soup), is the water that rolls towards the shore after a wave has broken. It's the best place for learning as it will be easier to catch when you paddle. You can also have someone stand in the whitewater and push you into the wave while you lay on the board.
Enter the water pointing the nose towards the waves and lay on your board.
IMPORTANT: You want to lay on the board so that the nose of the board doesn't dip into the water OR point up out of the water too high. When you start to paddle you want the nose to be parallel with the water, just skimming the surface.
To paddle keep your head up, your legs together on the board and cup your hands as you reach out into the water and draw them back along the sides of the board. Bring them out of the water down by your hips smoothly and without a lot of splash.
Once you're out and white water is coming towards you turn and point your board towards the shore, lay in the correct spot, (nose skimming the water) and start paddling. When you feel the wave pick you up and start to push you without you having to paddle you're ready to 'pop-up', (see step #3).
It will take some practice but by the end of the day you'll have a lot of fun, get a great workout and be surfing. Just get yourself a rash guard and some board shorts and you'll be a total surfer, dude!
Surfing Wetsuits 101
Winter is a fact of life for many people who enjoy the sport of surfing. However, cold air and water temperatures don't have to stop your sessions! Enter the wetsuit, probably the single biggest invention in surfing since the surfboard itself.
Wetsuits are tight fitting bodysuits made of flexible neoprene rubber. They work by trapping a thin layer of water between the neoprene and the skin. The body heats up this water, thus keeping the surfer warm.
When picking out a suit, you're going to want to get one that is specifically designed for surfing. That means seeking out your local surf shop. Don't go to a dive shop or swimming store. Surfing wetsuits are specially made to endure the specific repetitive motions that surfers make when they're out in the ocean. For example, non-surfing suits can have seams in bad places that will cause major rashes when you've been paddling for a few hours.
Wetsuits come in different cuts, from short-sleeve spring suits (or shorties) to fullsuits with hoods. When it gets very cold, booties and gloves are also available. Caps and hoods are also available for suits that don't have them already attached.
Surfers often have a quiver of wetsuits to accompany their quiver of different boards, especially in areas where the seasons change dramatically.
There are a variety of thicknesses from which to choose. From thin 2 mm spring suits, to 2/3 mm fullsuits, 4/3's, 5/4/3's, and 6/5/4's. These numbers reference how thick the neoprene is in millimeters for different areas of the suit. Often the thickest neoprene will be in the torso and thighs, while the thinner areas will be on the arms and calves.
When getting a wetsuit, it's important to set aside a block of time in order to try them on. Each company uses different models and they all have a slightly different fit.
The fit should be snug. Don't buy them too loose or water will be able to freely enter the suit and the insulating effect will be lost. This means you shouldn't buy a kid's suit a few sizes too big so they can grow into it. They might as well not wear a suit at all. The neck is an important area to pay attention to. The collar should be snug so that water doesn't freely enter and exit.
When looking at the pricetag, you do tend to get what you pay for. There are several different makes and models from each company, from budget to luxury. Often the higher priced wetsuits will have all sorts of cool things like sealed seams and improved zippers and entry/exit schemes.
The History Of Surfing
In the 1930s, the sport of surfing was experiencing a Renaissance. Tom Blake, founder of the Pacific Coast Surf Championships that ended with the onset of war in 1941, was the first man to photograph surfing from the water. Another photographer and surfer named Doc Ball published California Surfriders 1946, which depicts the pristine coastal beaches and good-time, relaxed atmosphere of surf living. Surfing, although curtailed in the aftermath of WWII, revived as always by the 1950s. Bud Browne, an accomplished surfer and waterman, created the first 'surf movie' with his 1953 "Hawaiian Surfing Movie". This inspired many photographers, filmmakers and surfers to continue documenting the sport, culminating with is arguably the best surf movie of all time, 1963's "Endless Summer" by Bruce Brown. The film opened up the genre of the surf movie and the art of surfing to non-surfing people, accumulating fans and inspiring neophytes.
Although surfing was a male-dominated sport, adventurous women surfers can be seen all the way back to the times of the Polynesian Queens. Two notable 'surfer girls' were Eve Fletcher and Anona Napolean. Eve Fletcher was a California-born animator for Walt Disney and Anona Napolean was the daughter of a respected Hawaiian surfing family. The two pioneered the sport for modern women, winning surfing competitions up and down the California coast at the end of the 50s and into the 60s. Hollywood was quick to be on the scene and with the 1959 film "Gidget", surfing was flung far out into the mainstream, never to return to its humble, ritualistic beginnings. "Gidget" inspired a slew of "Beach Blanket Bingo" movies that brought surfing to a new generation of teens and inspiring a new genre of 'surf music' that accompanied films and made The Beach Boys more famous than Elvis in the 60s.
Surfing spread throughout all media and Surfing Magazine was born in the early 1960s by famous surf photographer, LeRoy Grannis. After that, other publications cropped up bringing more information on the sport, equipment and stars of the surfing scene. John Severson, an accomplished filmmaker and photographer, created Surfer Magazine, originally called "The Surfer". These publications brought advertising, professional surfing, surf culture and publicity to the now very popularized sport.

Governor Deval Patrick and Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray today joined hundreds of Massachusetts farmers, agricultural officials, legislators and residents today at the State House to celebrate "Agriculture Day", a commemoration of the agricultural industry's $490 million annual contribution to the Commonwealth's economy.
Each year, Massachusetts Agriculture Day is held to showcase agricultural products and industry achievements and to foster discussion between farmers and lawmakers regarding challenges faced by the state's farming communities.
"I am proud to support Massachusetts agriculture," said Governor Patrick. "The 7,500 farms across the Commonwealth contribute in important ways to our economic activity, food security, education, environmental stewardship and open space."
From cranberry bogs and shellfish flats on Cape Cod, apple orchards in the Berkshires, and garden centers in between, the diverse and robust Massachusetts farming industry employs more than 14,000 workers. Massachusetts farms also provide more than 517,000 acres of open space across the Bay State.
"The Commonwealth is steeped in rich agricultural traditions and Massachusetts Agriculture Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate those traditions, while bringing farming community leaders and state officials together to focus on key initiatives to support local farms and farmers," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Richard K. Sullivan Jr.
Governor Patrick also presented a proclamation, declaring April 3, 2012 as Massachusetts Agriculture Day. Representative Carolyn Dykema, Representative Peter Kocot and Dr. Deborah Kochevar, dean of the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University were each recognized support for the viability and sustainability of the Massachusetts agriculture industry.
State officials also recognized edible Magazine, which portrays seasonal foods and local products through five publications -- edible Berkshire, edible Boston, edible Cape Cod, edible Martha's Vineyard, and edible Pioneer Valley -- bringing local farm products to the forks of Massachusetts residents.
Capping off the festivities was a noontime reception, known as the "Taste of Massachusetts." Farmers and specialty foods producers, including aquaculture, livestock and dairy farmers, offered participants samples of locally harvested and produced items such as oysters, cranberry juice, apple pies, cheese, honey, and milk shakes.
"We are honored to bring from western Massachusetts all the amazing food that our farmers grow for all residents of the Commonwealth," said Philip Korman, executive director of Community Involved in Sustaining Agriculture. "Ag Day provides a unique opportunity to work with our elected officials to expand the positive economic, public health and environmental impact of local agriculture."
During the event, DAR officials highlighted the Commonwealth's commitment to encouraging energy efficient farm operations and promoting statewide programs that foster agricultural diversification, culinary tourism, agricultural business training, animal health and pest management.
DAR officials also featured statewide programs promoting agricultural diversification, the Commonwealth Quality Seal, the MassGrown & Fresher Initiative, Rabies Awareness Program, Backyard Poultry Initiative, Asian Long-Horned Beetle project and an effort to register businesses in the Plant Industries Project.
DAR unveiled its 2011 Annual Report, which gives an overview of the department's more than 60 programs and services and gives a calendar-year snapshot of the Commonwealth's agricultural landscape.
Culinary students from Worcester Technical High School prepared and served a variety of dishes made from Massachusetts products, including turkey, lamb, root vegetables, honey and local cheeses.
Olivia Baker, an 11th grader at Thayer Academy in Braintree and a member of The Massachusetts 4 H, was chosen to speak and represent youth involvement in agriculture.
More than 45 agricultural exhibitors participated in the day's festivities, including representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and agricultural associations such as the Massachusetts Farm Wineries and Growers Association, Massachusetts Fruit Growers Association and the Massachusetts Association of Dairy Farmers.
Rep. Anne Gobi, co-chair of the Joint Committee on the Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture, also attended the event, praising it as "an opportunity for the legislature to show our support to our farmers, fisherman and producers who enhances our communities and our economy through great stewardship of our land and resources."
The 2007 U.S. Department of Agriculture census showed that the Massachusetts agricultural industry grew markedly from 2002 to 2007. Crop and livestock sales and total number of farms grew by 27 percent, while total direct sales rose from $31 million in 2002 to $42 million in 2007. Organic sales also grew, from $7.8 million in 2002 to $17.5 million in 2007. The industry is currently comprised of 7,691 farms.
DAR's mission is to ensure the long-term viability of agriculture in Massachusetts. Through its four divisions -- Agricultural Conservation & Technical Assistance, Agricultural Markets, Animal Health, and Crop and Pest Services -- DAR strives to support, regulate and enhance the rich diversity of the Commonwealth's agricultural community to promote economically and environmentally sound food safety and animal health measures, and fulfill agriculture's role in energy conservation and production.

Subject: [Bklyn] Brooklyn Standard Union - May 1, 1910
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2002 17:57:47 EDT
Elsie D'ESPERRE, nine years old, of 225 McDonough Street, was run down
by an automobile in front of her home last night and so seriously injured
that she died a few minutes after her mangled form had been carried into the
With a number of playmates the girl was skipping a rope on the
sidewalk. She held one end of the rope and stood near the gutter. For some
reason she stepped off the curb just as the automobile, driven by John H.
ERNST, of 318 Park Place, approached.
Just how the accident happened no one seems to know. The girl
apparently backed against the running board of the car, tried to jump away,
slipped and fell.
The rear wheel rolled over her body. When the car was stopped the
little one was unconscious. She was picked up and carried into her home and
laid on the dining room table. The sight of her injured daughter so unnerved
the mother she became hysterical.
A call was sent to St. John's Hospital. Dr. GRIFFIN responded. The
girl was breathing faintly, and about a minute after the doctor arrived the
The doctor's examination showed that two ribs and her spine had been
fractured and that the broken ribs probably penetrated the lungs.
ERNST was arrested and taken to the Gates Avenue police station, where
he was later admitted to bail in $10,000 by Magistrate HYLAN.
Ward MULLER, 16 years old, of 64 Pennsylvania avenue, while driving an
automobile owned my Municipal Court Judge RICHARD's through Monroe Street
last night ran over nine-year-old Benjamin SEKLIR, of 102 Patchen Avenue, who
was playing at Monroe Street and Patchen Avenue. The injured boy was taken
to the office of Dr. PULMAN, at Reid Avenue and Monroe Street, where it was
found his nose was broken and his thigh injured. MULLER was arrested.
Frank MARTIN, 62 years old, of 7709 Fourth Avenue, was run down in
front of his home last night by an auto driven by Dr. Max WACKMAN, of 429
Forty-third Street. The only injuries the man received were lacerations of
the face and bruises of the body. He was attended by Dr. HUNTER of Norwegian
Hospital and went home. The doctor was arrested.
Barren Island, the place of smells, which takes the city's refuse into
the maw of its disposal plant and transforms it into fertilizer, was
yesterday afternoon the scene of another disaster that resulted in loss of
life and wholesale injury. An explosion of steam pipes in the plant of the
New York Sanitary Utilization Company scattered boiling oil, refuse and heavy
pieces of iron and steel in all directions.
Anthony CARDITZ, 21 years old, was so badly injured he died an hour
after being removed to St. Mary's Hospital, Kitrian LEXCOSAT, 19 years old,
is in St. Mary's hovering between life and death, and John SORVONA, 27 years
old, is in Kings County Hospital, his condition equally as serious.
In addition to the men most serously injured fully a score suffered
more or less from the accident. John WATERS, 32 years old, was badly scalded
about the body; Carl HOGG, 44 years old, was burned about the head and body;
Matthew HUBBARD, 40 years old, a negro, was burned about the head and
Patrolman Isaac VANHUTON, of the Carnarsie police station, was cut on the leg
while trying to pull a heavy piece of machinery off CARDITZ. The "cop"
risked his life to help the wounded man, as CARDITZ was held under a heap of
wreckage. In trying to remove him VAN HUTON dislodged some of the debris and
it came tumbling down on him.
The severity of the explosion can be judged by the fact that two large
portions of the roof of the building in which the trouble occurred were blown
hundreds of feet away into Jamaica Bay. Hugh pieces of metal that had formed
a part of condensers or of the plant's digestors were blown equally as far.
The explosion was heard for miles around and at the time a boat from the
harbor patrol was near the island. Acting Captain MCKEOWN was in command and
immediately made a landing. Together with the members of his crew he
assisted many men out of the wrecked building. He also telephoned to
Brooklyn for assistance, and soon ambulances from Bradford Street, St. Mary's
and the Kings County Hospitals came clanging up to Carnarsie Landing.
CARDITZ and the other badly injured men were conveyed across the bay in the
patrol boat and hurried to the hospitals. Surgeon O'KEEFE burried away with
CARDITZ and LEXCOSAT to St. Mary's Hospital; Surgeon ELLSBACH took SORVONA to
Kings County Hospital, and Surgeon BEST, of Bradford Street dressed the
injuries of the men who did not need to be removed.
What caused the explosion is not known. It is thought, however, some
of the steam pipes entering a condenser were weakened through constant usage
and unable to stand the heavy strain to which they are subjected. An effort
was made to get a statement from the officials of the utilization company
following the explosion, but they refused to talk.
Great excitement prevailed on the island following the explosion. The
members of the families of the men who worked in the plant hurried to the
scene from all directions and it was with difficulty that many of the
excitable Polish women could be restrained from entering the place when they
could not find those they sought.
Capt. DULFER, of the Canarsie station, with a squad of his men,
reached the scene as soon as he could cross the water. They quieted the
panic-stricken men and women and helped care for the injured. Patrolman
VANHUTON was with this squad and proved to be the hero. When his leg was
injured he bound knotted handkerchiefs around the limb so as to stop the flow
of blood from the lacerations, and then continued his efforts to get CARDITZ
from beneath the machinery that was crushing out his life. Patrolman William
MATTHEWS also performed good work and rescued several men.
There are at present sixteen aged persons residing in Mattituck, who
recall seeing Haley's comet when it appeared seventy-five years ago. They
are Silas M. HALLOCK, 91 years old; J. Frank REEVE, 88; Mrs. John WORTH, 88;
Mrs. Joseph WELLS, 91; Rev. R. Howard WALLACE, 82; Capt. Elsworth TITHILL,
85; Mrs. John MATTON, 83; Mrs. Joshua TERRY, 81; Mrs. Chauncery TUTHILL,
80; Andrew HORTON, 85; William H. TUTHILL, 82; Charles Wesley RULAND, 90;
Mrs. Amanda HALLOCK, 92; B.G. TUTHILL, 89, and Mrs. Mary GRAY, 86.
Mrs. Mary GRIPPA, 48 years old, of 42 Union Street, was carried
unconscious from her burning apartments last night by Battalion Chief James
REILLY. She was revived on the street and taken to the home of friends, at
12 Third Place.
The fire occurred shortly after 7 o'clock, and was caused by the
explosion of an overturned kerosene lamp in the kitchen of the Grippa
apartments. The burning oil spread rapidly over the floors. The occupants
of the house, rushed pell mell to the street, and in an instant the building,
a four-story brick structure, was deserted.
In the excitement, Mrs. GRIPPA, who was in her bed, was forgotten.
Once in the street, though, the panic-stricken Italians remembered the
woman and a great cry was set up. REILLY responded and rushed into the
building. He fought his way to the top floor, and after searching all the
rooms, found the woman unconscious in her bed. He picked her up, and
carrying her to the stairs, began the descent.
The smoke was so dense he had to five up his effort to carry the
woman. He laid her on the stairs and creeping backward himself dragged her
after him. In this way he managed to get the benefit of what little air
there was close to the floors during the drip down the three flights of
When the street was reached Dr. KNOLLER of the Long Island College
Hospital attended the woman, and after considerable work revived her
sufficiently to be taken to a friend's home. The GRIPPA apartments were
badly burned, damage of more than $500 being done by the fire.
Five examining inspectors at $1,500 a year were appointed by
Controller PRENDERGAST last yesterday. The plums dropped in the laps of
Brooklynites, four Republicans and a Hearsh man. They will fill the places
of organization Democrats to whom a chance was afforded by the Controller to
resign on Friday.
The names and addresses of the five follow: Sidney J. MANN, 75 Henry
Street; Henry HAMM, 617 Park Avenue; Hugh D. NEWMAN, 604 Grand Street;
George A. OWENS, Jr., 117 South First street, and EdwardB. VALENTINE, 634
Fifty second Street.
The first man on the list is a Dadyite and an active worker in the
More-To-Tomorrow Club. Henry HAMM comes from the Sixth Assembly District and
is an Independence Leaguer, George OWENS is the son of ex-Senator OWENS.
Fred BETTINGER, 47 years old, a painter, committed suicide shortly
after noon yesterday by inhaling gas. Dr. LEWIS of the Bushwick Hospital was
called, but said it was a case for the coroner.
With his right side terribly crushed and a possible fracture of the
skull, William WAGNER, 27 years old, driver of a brewery truck, living at 296
Grove Street, is in St. Catharine's Hospital in a critical condition with
little hope held out for his recovery. WAGNER received his injuries at
Bushwick Avenue and Jefferson Street, yesterday afternoon, when he was thrown
from his seat after his team of horses ran away.
Before the accident, WAGNER had loaded his truck with boxes of empty
beer bottles which he had taken from a saloon in Jefferson Street, near
Central Avenue. Thr truck became over-loaded and WAGNER was forced to place
several of the boxes on the foot rest below the seat. When he started off,
one of the boxes fell on the horses. They became frightened and started off
at full speed. As the animals reached Bushwick Avenue, they turned sharply,
overturning the truck and throwing WAGNER under it.
WAGNER was unconscious when dragged out. Dr. CONNOLLY took him to St.
Catharine's Hospital. The horses were badly cut and bruised.

OLYMPIA -- Several rule changes have been made since the 1997 hunting
regulation pamphlet was issued earlier this year. A news release issued earlier this
week regarding these changes needs the following clarification:
Early archery deer hunters are advised that the areas where mule and blacktail
antlerless deer may be legally taken during the Sept. 6-15 season has been
changed. Antlerless mule and blacktail deer is now only allowed in GMUs 130,
133, 139, 142, 145, 149, 163, 178, 248, 254, 266, 269, 272, 284, 306 and 308.
Whitetail deer season, units and legal deer descriptions remain the same as
written in the pamphlet.
In the late archery deer season (Nov. 26-Dec. 8) for mule and blacktail deer a
change was made to restrict hunting to three-point minimum buck only in
GMUs 209, 215, 233, 300, 316, 346, 352 and 364. Only GMU 272 remains, as
written in the pamphlet, open to hunting for three-point minimum buck or
antlerless deer. Whitetail deer hunting is allowed for either sex in all of these
units, as written in the pamphlet.
The early muzzleloader season (Oct. 4-10) in GMUs 407, 410, 520, 530, 564,
568, 603, 612, 624 and 672 was changed to any blacktail deer buck, rather
than just three-point minimum.
The late muzzleloader season (Nov. 26-Dec. 15) in GMU 136 was changed to
mule or whitetail deer, three-point minimum or antlerless. Also, GMU 130 was
added as an open area for mule or whitetail deer, three-point minimum or
In addition to the changes, hunters also should be aware that the early archery
season (Sept. 1-14) for spike-only or antlerless elk in GMU 554 Yale was inadvertently
omitted from the hunting rules pamphlet.

The present work, derived from a full global geodynamic reconstruction model over 600 Ma and based on a large database, focuses herein on the interaction between the Pacific, Australian and Antarctic plates since 200 Ma, and proposes integrated solutions for a coherent, physically consistent scenario. The evolution of the Australia–Antarctica–West Pacific plate system is dependent on the Gondwana fit chosen for the reconstruction. Our fit, as defined for the latest Triassic, implies an original scenario for the evolution of the region, in particular for the "early" opening history of the Tasman Sea. The interaction with the Pacific, moreover, is characterised by many magmatic arc migrations and ocean openings, which are stopped by arc–arc collision, arc–spreading axis collision, or arc–oceanic plateau collision, and subduction reversals. Mid-Pacific oceanic plateaus created in the model are much wider than they are on present-day maps, and although they were subducted to a large extent, they were able to stop subduction. We also suggest that adduction processes (

We note that oceanic plateaus created in the model are much wider than what can be seen on present-day topographic maps.

We also believe that adduction processes should be considered in geodynamic or tectonic models, since they could play an important role, in particular where tectonic plates undergo large strike-slip movements.
Moreover, the model has implications on oceanic palaeo-current circulation and palaeo-climatic reconstructions, and suggests that the opening of the "Tasman Gateway" is not really effective prior to the Rupelian, which is consistent with other works (e.g., [
However, we stress that a model is a model, and a number of choices were made with few data. We hope, therefore, future field works will soon challenge our model. In particular, it would be fundamental to prove the existence of the Campbell Fault, to date the different hot-spot volcanisms mentioned above and to check their relationship with rifting processes, to precisely locate COBs and date sea-floor formation, and to supplement the magnetic anomaly database in many basins of this fascinating and challenging region.

Again, thanks. Two of the wives were not marked primary, just the first
wife and the current domestic partner were. I somehow thought there
could only be one primary marriage. I probably got that idea because the
Tree View can only show one wife at a time, and I never thought more
about it until now.
Making all marriages primary fixed the problem, although it surely does
crowd the chart. : )

In 'The Last Song', rebellious teenager Veronica Miller is sent to spend the summer with her estranged father in a quiet Southern beach town, where she will find her first love.
Walt Disney Pictures has released the first trailer for "The Last Song", a movie adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel with the same title. Making its way out via Yahoo! Movie, the more than two-minute clip gives a preview to the drama movie starring Miley Cyrus as Veronica "Ronnie" Miller.
Ronnie is described as a rebellious teenager who has lived separated from her father, Steve Miller, since her parents got divorced. Ronnie and her brother Jonah Miller are later sent by their mother to spend the summer with their father in Tybee Island, the small Georgia beach town.
There, she meets successful beach volleyball player Will Blakelee, with whom she falls in love. As she is getting closer to the handsome and popular guy, Ronnie manages to reconnect to her father through one thing they have in common, music.
In "The Last Song", Miley Cyrus shares screen with Liam Hemsworth, who portrays Will Blakelee. They are joined by Greg Kinnear, Kelly Preston, and Bobby Coleman who star as Veronica Miller's father, mother and little brother respectively. Directed by Julie Anne Robinson, the film is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on April 2, 2010.

Originally written on Pro Boxing Fans | Last updated 10/26/14
Main Events announced today that undefeated heavyweights Vyacheslav "Czar" Glazkov, 14-0, 10 KOs, and Malik Scott, 35-0, 12 KOs, will meet in a 10-round battle on February 23rd at The Paramount in Huntington, NY. The clash of unbeaten big men will be the main event of another nationally televised NBC Sports Network FIGHT NIGHT show. The telecast will begin at 10:30PM ET. Glazkov, originally of Lugansk, Ukraine but now fighting out of New Jersey, is coming off his most impressive career victory, a 4th round TKO of the touted Tor Hamer. Czar punished Hamer to such an extent that the New Yorker refused to answer the bell for round five. It was a timely win for Glazkov, in just his second US appearance, as the bout was part of a special FIGHT NIGHT Saturday afternoon edition on NBC broadcast TV. To be certain, Glazkov won plenty of new fans with his display of power and grit. He will look to expand his fan base against Scott. Malik Scott is a tattooed terror who hails fr...

Vintage Baseball Bobble Heads
Call them nodders, call them bobbleheads, even call them wobblers. Whatever you call them, though, the vintage hand-painted papier-mâché and ceramic dolls depicting baseball players from the 1960s are among the most whimsical collectibles in baseball.
Nodders and bobbleheads describe any doll whose head is connected to its neck by a spring. This not-quite-solid connection allows the doll's head to nod and wobble. These dolls have been around since the 19th century, but it wasn't until 1960 that Major League Baseball decided to produce nodders and bobbleheads for some of its teams and players. Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Willie Mays were some of the first non-mascot nodders. As with baseball cards, Clemente nodders are highly collectible.
The first dolls, which were made by Lego in Japan, were hand-painted on papier-mâché. These first dolls were generic, depicting the same large-eyed boy in a different team uniform, his baseball-capped head bobbing about whenever the doll was moved. Some dolls featured team mascots—mascot dolls of the Indians, Braves, and Pirates are tough to find.
In general, the most collectible dolls are the ones from 1960-1962, with square or round orange or white bases. Dolls from 1962-1966 had green bases, while ones from 1967-1970 were painted gold.
The world of baseball nodders and bobbleheads in the 1960s was an almost exclusively Caucasian place, but in 1962, African American dolls were produced. Even then the manufacturer could not get the skin tones right—two versions of Willy Mays exist; the one with darker skin is valued more highly than the lighter-skinned version. African American dolls from the Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox, and Houston Colt .45s are especially collectible.
One of the problems with vintage nodders and bobbleheads is that they were quite fragile, which is a problem for an object that's meant to be played with by children or mounted on the dashboard of a car. The dolls cracked and chipped easily. While repainting or repairing a doll is a relatively simple process, such changes tend to lower its value, so it's better to find a piece "as is" than one that has been freshened up.

Directly the ogress returned home she flung herself with all her weight on the bed, and the whole cave quivered under her.
Rosella did as she was told, but the ogress was so angry she was going to eat her.
It is in the third that the ogress dwells, unless, indeed, she has already set out upon her nocturnal hunt for human flesh.
The ogress, all cut and torn, followed after the lovers, dripping with blood.
An ogre or ogress without a daughter, real or adopted, lacks the first requisite for doing a successful business.
Thirteenth pulled the string, and the ogress shook her head.
He had not long to wait, after the ogress came home, before he knew what his punishment was to be!
They kept on and came to a well, and near it the ogress was sitting.
We would rather, as the child said to the ogress, be eat up by the gentleman.
Any more than of the ogress saying a while later, "You're laughing again, sir!"

Antique Engagement Rings - Planning the Perfect Proposal
If you really want to make a proposal perfect, you need to consider where you can find the right ring. The ring could make or break your proposal if you do not plan properly. Most women nowadays are looking for something unique whenever they get an engagement ring, but the styles that are out nowadays are just too predictable. If you really want your proposal to go over well, you should look into antique engagement rings. Here are some of the benefits to doing things this way, as well as a few suggestions on how you can setup your proposal to get the best results.
Antique engagement rings are no longer in production. Thus most of the ones that you can purchase nowadays are highly unique and limited in availability. It would be rare to find someone else with her engagement ring out there because of the age. Women love knowing that they have something that no one else has, especially when it comes to clothing or jewelry. Thus she will love that you went out of your way to buy an old ring that is truly a timeless masterpiece. Your thoughts and efforts will not go unnoticed.
Antique engagement rings are also great because of the detailed designs they come in. While you can buy ornate pieces nowadays, they do not come with the same sort of pizzazz that these old pieces have. You can get a true show stopper when you start looking for antiques, and many of those rings are actually hand crafted to perfection. You may not get the precision in design this way that you would with a modern ring, but you will get a quality piece that was made with great care. That is enough for any woman to say "yes" to.
In terms of the actual proposal, get creative. You should probably avoid certain standard proposals that involve the ring getting baked into some piece of food. That may harm the integrity of the ring and it will make it all too easy to lose as well. Instead of doing that, take your future fiancé to a place that is more fitting to the ring. Maybe go for a ride on a horse drawn carriage or take a walk in a really nice park. Wear a nice shirt and nice clothing as a whole, and come up with a speech that fits the situation and hope for the best.

Today along with the Macbook refresh Intel have announced and release Thunderbolt (formally developed and know under the name of Light Peak). Thunderbolt is a new I/O technology which gives insanely high speeds, currently at 10 Gbps (Thats a full HD movie, somewhere between 10-20GB in under 30 seconds), and a theoretical speed of 100Gbps in the future.
One of the purposes of Thunderbolt is to replace almost all of the all the ports on your computer into one, including FireWire, USB consumer devices, HDMI, DVI and VGA. This is so easily achievable with the 10Gbps Dual-channel speeds and with a extremely low latency it looks like this technology could easily live up to its potential especially will Apple jumping on the bandwagon so quickly it's almost certain that all other manufactures will start to follow suit, it's just a case of waiting until Thunderbolt devices hit the market in mass.
So what do you think about Thunderbolt? Will it be a big the huge success it could be, or will it be pushed out by another technology such as USB 3.0? Leave a comment below with your thoughts.

9-1 loss drives Lions to focus
Dave A. Vance, [email protected]
The Ennis Lions (6-11-2, 1-4) suffered their most devastating defeat Friday against the Mansfield Summit Jaguars (14-8, 4-1) with a 9-1 loss.
"It's probably the best team we've played all year, especially hitting-wise. They can hit one through nine in their lineup," Lion center fielder Weston Quick said. "They came out and did their job."

Link Roundup and Facial Hair Update
As regular readers may remember, when our team of underdog bloggers triumphed last month in a fund-raising contest for Camp Quest, I vowed to grow a beard so as to prove that PZ Myers wasn't the only atheist overlord out there who could boast of manly facial hair. Well, that experiment is underway as we speak.At the end of the month, I'll post before-and-after pictures with the results. In the meantime, the beard is still in an incomplete state, and I don't want it seen by the prying eyes of … [Read more...]
Do the Right Thing, New York!
I wrote in May about the legalization of civil unions in Delaware (which has now been signed into law), and the ongoing push to pass a marriage-equality law in my own state, New York. Although New York already recognizes same-sex marriages performed in any of the neighboring states that allow them, passage of the bill would be a huge symbolic victory and would give more momentum to the national push for equality.As I write this, the bill hangs in the balance in the State Senate, where … [Read more...]
Atheists Are Not Fascists
This week, my first article on Alternet was published, which spurred several comments asking that we not forget about libertarian and conservative atheists. That's why it's so amusing that this same week, PZ Myers points out the curious tale of a pundit named Jeff Sparrow, who's convinced that the New Atheist movement is so right-wing and "Islamophobic" as to be verging on fascist:The so-called New Atheist movement, in which [Christopher] Hitchens is a key figure, is not progressive in the … [Read more...]
New on Alternet: Atheists as a Political Force
Today I'm very happy to announce that I've become a contributor to AlterNet, the award-winning online progressive news and opinion magazine. My first essay is titled "There Are 10 Times As Many Atheists as Mormons: When Will Non-Believers Become a Political Force?" Read an excerpt below, and then click through to see the rest:The propagandists of the religious right shout it aloud as their battle cry: "America is a Christian nation!" And in the trivial sense that ours is a nation populated … [Read more...]

News Flash: Psychics Still Useless
You may have heard about this bizarre story out of Texas this week, where a self-proclaimed psychic called police with a tip that a certain home was the site of a mass grave containing dozens of dismembered bodies, including the bodies of children. A swarm of reporters, FBI agents and Texas Rangers promptly converged on the address, bringing cameras, news helicopters and cadaver-sniffing dogs.At first they found spots of blood on the porch, seemingly proving that the psychic tip-off was good … [Read more...]
Standing Up for Young Freethinkers
This is another story that broke while I was away in Spain, but I wanted to write about it. I'm sure it will no longer come as news, but it's definitely worth commenting on.Greta Christina sums it up on Alternet, but in brief: A Louisiana public high school student, Damon Fowler, objected to a prayer that his school planned to have at the graduation ceremony. What followed was a flood of hatred, harassment and violent threats from seemingly the entire town. A teacher at his school openly … [Read more...]
Strange But True: The Misnumbered Pope
I've been reading Bob Curran's book Unholy Popes, an extremely amusing chronicle of papal misbehavior over the centuries and the more infamous scandals and shenanigans attributed to the various men who've held the seat. There have been periods of decades when Rome was rife with corruption, nepotism, bribery, and at times, open warfare and murder over the papal succession. There have been times when no one was pope and times when there were multiple contenders, each one claiming to be the true … [Read more...]

Coordination of Benefits (COB)
Provider Administrative Policy
Policy Date
May 2013
New/May 2013
Provider Type(s)
All Providers
Our provider administrative policies contain information regarding claims submission, reimbursement, and other information in order to achieve an efficient relationship with our providers. These policies are not an authorization or explanation of benefits. Blue Cross of Idaho retains the right to add to, delete from and otherwise modify this policy in accordance with our provider contracts.
Blue Cross of Idaho works diligently on behalf of our members to develop contracting relationships with Idaho dental providers and Blue Cross Blue Shield dental affiliates (national Dental Grid).
For Blue Cross of Idaho to apply benefits correctly, we need to know if a member has other health coverage. To help reduce the number of denied claims for coordination of benefits (COB), we send the member a letter asking for information about other insurance one month prior to the expiration of current COB information.
If you are aware of other insurance information for a Blue Cross of Idaho member, please supply the information to Blue Cross of Idaho on your claim forms. On ADA dental claim form, please include this information in item 4-11.
The COB questionnaire and online form is available on the secure provider portal on the Blue Cross of Idaho website at bcidaho.com. Select Provider, then Forms, then Coordination of Benefits Tools, and choose the printable form to complete and fax in or the online form to complete and submit electronically. We have provided a fax transmittal form to fax with the hard copy verification insurance information.
Coordination of Benefits (COB) Form
We will process any claims denied for coordination of benefit information when we receive other insurance information establishing Blue Cross of Idaho as the primary carrier. If we receive information establishing Blue Cross of Idaho is secondary, we will not reprocess claims until we receive the primary payment information. You may submit COB secondary claims electronically only if you have checked with your Practice Management software vendor to ensure they are capable of sending this information. The submission must include the following:
- COB Type
- COB Amount (amount paid by primary carrier-by total claim or by claim line)
- COB Allowance (amount allowed by primary-by total claim or by claim line)
- COB Deductible (the total amount the primary carrier applied to the member's deductible-by total claim or by claim line)
- COB Copay (total copay applied by the primary carrier-by total claim or by claim line)
- COB Coinsurance (total coinsurance applied by the primary carrier-by total claim or by claim line)
- COB Member Liability (member liability after primary payment-by total claim or by claim line)
Note: If the electronic submission is missing any of the above criteria, we may deny the claim and request a hard copy of the remittance advice from the primary insurance.
Primary carrier payment/remit:
|Primary Allowed
|Primary Deductible
|Primary Coinsurance
|Primary Paid
|Contractual Adjustment
Blue Cross of Idaho new COB legislation secondary payment/remit:
|Blue Cross Deductible
|Blue Cross Coinsurance
|Blue Cross Copay
|Non Covered
|Other Carrier Paid
|Contractual Adjustment
|Blue Cross Paid
Please note on the example above, we determined the secondary payment of $100.00 by adding the total of primary deductible ($25.00) and primary coinsurance ($75.00).
When contracting providers bill Blue Cross of Idaho as a secondary payer, they are obligated to take contractual adjustments up to what they would have taken if Blue Cross of Idaho were the primary payer.
Blue Cross of Idaho will base non-contracting provider COB reimbursements on the higher of primary or Blue Cross of Idaho allowance.
For providers receiving a HIPAA electronic 835 remittance advice, Blue Cross of Idaho will append the claim adjustment reason code 23 to reflect the payment adjustment is due to the impact of the prior payer(s) adjudication. For paper remittances, Blue Cross will append 529, 209 or 8N3 based on how we received the other carrier's information.
Because of the various member and provider contract terms across different payers, it is impossible to outline every possible example. Please contact your provider relations representative if you have any questions.

I am sorry but I have no information on James Burch beyond the 1850 (in Illinois). The 1860 census does not show James living with his parents (again IL). My line is through Henry and Caroline's daughter Alice Jane Burch. I know the whole family moved to Illinois sometime between 1842-1847. I have since found Caroline Barber's parents but have no info on Henry Burch's parents.
