Indians split with L-R
From staff reports
Clear skies and 73-degree temperatures were just what the doctor ordered for Garrett Furr's surgically repaired shoulder.
Catawba's veteran DH had the clutch hit that put the Indians in command of Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader at Newman Park.
After losing the opener 9-5, 14th-ranked Catawba bounced back to rout Lenoir-Rhyne 11-1 in the nightcap.
"Over the years," said Catawba coach Jim Gantt, "Furr has come through with an awful lot of big hits for us."
Catawba had two outs and no one on base in the third inning when a crisp single by Chris Dula and Paul Kronenfeld's blistering double into the right-field corner put two men in scoring position.
With first base open, Furr didn't know if he'd get anything decent to swing at, but he ripped a pitch up the middle to stake Catawba starter Ross Whitley to a 4-0 lead.
"He threw me a curveball on 2-2, and I put a good swing on it and I got a good outcome," Furr said.
Kronenfeld powered a sky-scraping homer to straightaway center on an 0-2 pitch in the fifth to officially put the game on ice, and Furr capped a 3-for-3 outing with a loud homer of his own in the sixth.
"My shoulder is loosening up a lot more now that the weather is getting warmer," Furr said.
L-R scored seven early runs, knocked out Catawba starter John J. Tuttle (4-4) in the third inning of Game 1 and went on to win 9-5.
Colton Hansley homered twice for the eighth-place Bears (10-19, 5-10), including a tape-measure shot. Chris Dula walloped his eighth and ninth homers in a losing cause for the Indians (20-7, 10-5).
Whitley watched the Bears belt five homers in the opener, but he silenced their bats when it was his turn on the bump.
"I knew they could hit, but I had pretty good stuff today, and I was able to establish my fastball early and do my job," Whitley said. "And then the boys started putting up a bunch of runs to make it comfortable for me."
Whitley (5-0) worked six innings, struck out five and didn't allow an earned run.
Catawba produced 13 hits in the seven-inning nightcap, with Dula, Kronefeld, Julio Zubillaga and Ethan Satterfield getting two each. Jon Wallace drove in two runs.
Even though it only split Saturday's doubleheader, Catawba also won Friday behind Nick Lomascolo, took the series two games to one, and resides in second place in the SAC, a game behind Wingate.
It's a balanced year in the SAC. Some years you have to pile up sweep after sweep to stay in the race, but taking two of three each weekend might be good enough this time.
"Some teams that haven't been winning are winning, and anything can happen," Furr said. "It's pretty even in this league, and whoever comes to play wins. We've got to fight for every game to get to where we want to be at the end."
Catawba looked great in Saturday's second game, but the first one was ugly enough to make Gantt shake his head.
"I'm not sure we should be ranked 14th or ranked anything," he said. "There's so many areas where we have to get a lot better just to have a chance to win this league — much less anything beyond that."
North Iredell's Brooke Redmond was named NPC Player of the Year for girls basketball, and North Iredell's Bradley Gabriel was named NPC Coach of the Year.
West Rowan's Shay Steele, Khaila Hall and Nycieko Dixon; Carson's Kelly Dulkoski and Allison Blackwell; East Rowan's Karleigh Wike and Kelli Fisher, and South Rowan's Avery Locklear were named to the All-NPC team.
North Iredell's Brittani Carter and Mariah Johnson and West Iredell's Elizabeth Webb were named All-NPC.
• Statesville's Josh Gaither was named NPC Player of the Year for boys basketball, and Statesville's Sonny Schofield was named NPC Coach of the Year.
West Rowan's Celexus Long, Seth Martin and Daisean Reddick; Carson's Tre Williams, Colton Laws and D.J. Love; South Rowan's T'Vadis Wesley, and East Rowan's Donte Means were named All-NPC.
Statesville's Jaquan Warren, Breon Borders, Justin Daniels and Marquis Willis were named All-NPC, along with North Iredell's Brantley Chambers and West Iredell's Lance Johnson.
College baseball
Noah Holmes (East Rowan) homered twice, scored four runs and knocked in three as Appalachian State split with Cornell on Saturday.
Appalachian State won 9-4 and lost 15-5.
Preston Troutman (East) drove in two runs for the Mountaineers.
Prep baseball
Seth Elkins drove in five runs and led Chatham Central to a 12-0 YVC victory against North Rowan on Friday.
• Davie beat Forbush 11-3 on Friday. Karch Arey, Elijah Jones and Nathan Howard had two hits each for the War Eagles (6-1).

Women's hoops

Maria Young, Limestone's all-time scoring leader, had 19 of her 25 points in the first half.
Christina Harvey scored 22 for Pfeiffer, while Brittany Cox had 12. Jodie Lemons had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Pfeiffer finished 25-7.

Catawba softball

Abby Child had a three-run homer in the opener for Anderson. Tara Gibbs knocked in the run for the Indians (19-11, 1-3).
Carley Tysinger (13-4) took the loss despite 13 strikeouts.
Amanda Terry hit two solo homers for the Indians in the nightcap.

Division II Preview: Livingstone, Fairmont State square off tonight
SALISBURY — Time to stop thinking of a great CIAA season, the euphoria of being in the Division II national playoffs and shaking hands wherever they go.
It's time to play basketball.
The Livingstone Blue Bears (22-6), the fifth seed in the Atlantic Regional, take on Fairmont State (22-8) tonight in the nightcap of a four-game day at West Liberty (W. Va.).
The Blue Bears, the CIAA Southern Division champ, are in the national postseason for the first time in school history.
Fairmont State, which received an at-large bid, finished second in the WVIAC in both the regular season and tournament behind West Liberty. Fairmont State is making its sixth NCAA tournament appearance in school history. The Falcons last made it to the dance in 2010.
Livingstone coach James Stinson likens the Falcons to J.C. Smith and Bowie State.
"They do a great job of getting it up the floor, breaking you down off the dribble and either getting it to the basket or kicking it out for a three," he said.
Livingstone will have its hands full with 6-foot-3 guard Isaac Thornton.
Thornton comes in with 2,085 career points. He has scored in double figures in 50 straight games and in all but seven of the 113 games he's played as a Fairmont State Falcon.
Thornton is a two-time first team All-WVIAC selection and was the league's Freshman of the Year in 2010. He leads Fairmont State in scoring (17.7 ppg), while being second in steals (1.6 spg) and third in rebounds (5.3 rpg) and assists (2.7 apg).
His 44-point performance against West Liberty was the most by a WVIAC player this season and the third-highest point total in NCAA Division II this year.
And if you put him on the line? Thornton is shooting 82.1 percent.
Stinson is also impressed with 5-11 point guard Malik Stith. He joined the team for his senior season after playing three years at St. John's.
"He played some significant minutes for St. John's," Stinson noted.
Stith has been a steady presence for Fairmont State.
Stith is playing his best basketball, having scored in double figures in each of the last 10 games for FSU, including four games of 20-plus-points during that stretch. He is averaging 20.3 points during that span, which is up five points from his season average.
On the year he led the team in both assists (3.6 apg) and steals (2.0 spg).
Four players are averaging double figures and the Falcons have been led in scoring by six different players in games this season. Six different players have scored at least 20 points in a game.
Fairmont State's most versatile players is junior Brendan Cooper. At 6-7, Cooper is third on the team in scoring (12.7), leads the team in rebounds (7.0) and is second on the team in assists (2.7). He led the team with five double-doubles this season.
Isaiah Hill, a 6-9 center, is averaging 12.3 points and 6.6 boards per game.
Chase Morgan is third in the WVIAC in three-point field goal percentage. The Falcons are 10-1 when the 5-11 gunner scores in double figures.
The key for Livingstone is not allowing a Fairmont halftime lead (the Falcons are 19-1 when leading) and forcing the Falcons into bad shots. They are 14-0 when shooting over 50 percent.
"We have to defend," Stinson said. "We can't afford to play a 90-point game, even though people say we can score. But if we're not scoring, we have a problem. We have to keep the ballgame in the 70s to be effective."
NOTES: Today's noon game has No. 3 seed Indiana (Pa.) vs. No. 6 East Stroudsburg... The 2:30 p.m. game has No. 2 Winston-Salem State against No. 7 Slippery Rock. ... At 6, No. 8 Bowie State takes on homestanding West Liberty, the nation's top-ranked team. ... If West Liberty and Livingstone win, they would meet on Sunday. ... Fairmont State had a 14-win turnaround this season. ... Mark Thomas leads the Blue Bears in points (18.0), assists (3.6) and steals (1.8). Thomas was a first team All-CIAA selection. ... Jody Hill adds 13.9 points for LC. He leads the team with 53 three-pointers this season. ... Livingstone has made 169 more trips to the free throw line than its opponents this season (six more attempts per game). The Blue Bears have made 133 more free throws than their opponents.

BMC Racing Team's Martin Kohler spent much of Wednesday's longest stage of the Tour of Austria in a seven-man breakaway. But the combination of several steep climbs and warm temperatures spelled the end of his long escape.
Long Day
As the 199.5-kilometer race crossed over Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner, Kohler and his breakaway companions had a nearly five-minute advantage. But with more than half the stage to go, Kohler wasn't feeling good about his chances. "I felt like the strongest guy in the breakaway, but in the beginning, I didn't ride with the front group so I could save some energy," the Swiss national champion said. "But the day got longer and longer and longer. On the last climb, when it got steep, I didn't have anything left and they (my breakaway companions) almost crashed me. Then I couldn't bridge up. The SKIL-Shimano guy (Alexandre Geniez) attacked and then I was done."
Butler Helps Santambrogio
Geniez soloed to win the stage as Mauro Santambrogio finished fifth to hold onto second overall behind Fredrik Kessiakoff (Astana). After helping with the chase of the late attacks, Chris Butler lost contact with the front group and slipped from seventh to 10th overall. "It was better for Chris to do the work than try to maintain his spot on GC," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Michael Sayers said. "We tried to give Mauro an opportunity to win the race."

Utility crews were around town repairing poles and lines. Volunteers manned chainsaws or backhoes and helped remove debris. Emergency personnel remained stationed in the area as security and safety precautions. Officials from all levels of government toured the city from the ground and the air.
"All of the searches were complete last night. All of the immediate hazards that we were able to take care of were handled," Bartow County Emergency Management Agency Director and Fire Chief Craig Millsap said Thursday. "We are in full-blown recovery mode right now."
Millsap said the National Weather Service had toured the area Thursday to determine the severity of the storm that left one dead in the town of roughly 4,700.
The Weather Channel's Tornado Expert Dr. Greg Forbes reported estimates placed the tornado at a strong EF-3, which has winds between 136 and 165 mph.
Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said Thursday the tornadoes that struck Georgia on Wednesday caused an estimated $75 million in insured losses, adding that the figure will rise as new claims are reported.
At 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Millsap said the final report had 442 residential structures receiving damage, with 22 of those being totally destroyed. Thirty commercial properties — that is not individual businesses — received some type of damage. Six were completely destroyed.
BCFD Division Chief of Training and Special Operations Dwayne Jamison said an aerial assessment showed a wide path of destruction about a half-mile wide for four or five miles.
"It started in the Hall Station Road area and it cut kind of a diagonal across the city, across Highway 140 — of course the Daiki plant was hit pretty hard — all the way out to Carr Road off Iron Mountain Road out in that area, and then from there you can see ... on into Gordon County," he said.
"[It] looks like bombs had gone off in different areas around the city," Jamison added. "Like I said, it kind of skipped, so you'd have an area of destruction and then you'd have an area that wasn't as bad hurt and then you'd have another area of destruction."
The main roadways — Interstate 75, Ga. Highway 140, U.S. Highway 41, Main Street and Hall Station Road — were reopened Thursday. Side streets in the center of Adairsville, which included the hardest-hit area, remained closed for security and safety reasons.
Jamison said crews were still mitigating gas leaks and downed lines.
"We still have fuel leaks, things like that that we are dealing with," he said. "Once we get some of that stuff taken care of, it will be a lot more safe for the volunteers to come in."
A curfew remains in effect from dusk to dawn. Adairsville Police Chief Robert Jones said Wednesday the department would enforce the curfew as long as necessary.
On Thursday evening, Jones said there had been no reports of looting within the city.
Those looking to help began trickling into the city Thursday, with officials asking volunteers to contact the Adairsville Church of God to sign up to assist.
Among those offering aid along the city streets were students from Adairsville High School.
"It's our town. A lot of bad stuff has been happening in our town in the past year, and [I] want to do something to help out," said 18-year-old Dylan Lang.
Molly Seaman, 18, who was working alongside Lang, said she would "really do anything like this if anything happened."
"We've grown up here. We're kind of like a big family because we're such a small town," she said. "It's so different. It hurts a lot looking at it and looking at pictures of it because we've grown up here, and … this stuff has been here forever and it's just not the same. It doesn't feel like Adairsville anymore."
Bartow County Schools Superintendent John Harper late Wednesday had said any Adairsville student absent Thursday would be excused due to the devastation the community suffered.
Bartow County Public Schools' Director of Transportation Jody Elrod commented on how the department made sure students in Adairsville arrived home safely following the storm.
"We had so many things going on in Adairsville that we had to work around, with the biggest issue being getting our buses from Pine Log [Elementary School] to pick the middle and high [school] kids up, so we were delayed some," Elrod said. "All in all, it was actually a really good afternoon considering all of the things to maneuver around and the detours to take … it worked out good, but it was a long afternoon."
He said the department will continue to work closely with law enforcement so bus drivers know of problem areas.
"For the most part, everything is opened up and accessible, there's still a lot of work to be done the in Adairsville area," Elrod said. "We've got old [Highway] 41, which is passable now, and that will get us from the middle to the high [school], the St. Elmo area — all that square there — we're not sending any of our buses into there. There's still a lot of issues with the power lines down and power poles were broken, so we're going to stay out of there."
Education Play Station Office Manager Christina Fernandez stood outside the converted 100-year-old house the facility calls home Thursday as crews began removing a massive tree that crashed through the southeast corner.
Fernandez, who had sent students home ahead of the storm, said she, a teacher and two students and their parents huddled in the hallway as the tornado passed overhead.
"We went into our emergency area — there's a hallway alcove — and I had some tumbling mats from upstairs and we just pulled them on top of us and hunkered down," she said. "We didn't hear anything. We saw the wind, we saw lightning, the pressure changed in our ears, and then we just covered up. We felt vibration, and then within, I don't know, a couple of minutes, it was over. There was nothing and then there was something and then there was nothing again."
Education Play Station Director Megan Mingone, who was not at the business Wednesday, said she was "heartbroken" when she arrived to find the facility damaged.
"There are no other words than that," she said. "I was definitely heartbroken, but when I got to hug everybody, then I was OK. That was when I was fine."
Mingone said while the center will reopen once repairs are made, Education Play Station is looking for a temporary home in Adairsville.
"We are looking for somewhere to rent so the kids have somewhere to start school back up immediately, and we have parents out here helping us so we will be ready to move it," she said. "We are looking forward to moving forward."

E-cig liquid, also known just as e-liquid/juice, is a special mixture formulated to be used in conjunction with certain kinda of electronic cigarette devices. While some e-cigs use a disposable cartridge that can be screwed on and off, other kind used this special e-liquid which can be refilled numerous times. Either one of these options do contain an e-liquid. The preference is all up to you. The liquid comes in an immense variety of flavors that can be customized to your liking.
The e-liquid is a simple solution that contains three components. The first being nicotine. This stimulant in e-liquid is natural nicotine produced by stripping tobacco leaves. The process in which the nicotine is stripped and distilled produces the highest quality and purity to be used for these particular liquid solutions. The second additive in e-liquid is the flavoring. This component can be diluted or concentrated, depending on the desired taste and strength that you are looking for. The liquid comes in a wide array of flavors, giving one endless possibilities to choose from. Flavors can be mixed together as well to create a complex flavor. For example, rather than just choosing a banana flavored e-liquid, you can upgrade to strawberry-banana or chocolate banana smoothie. The combinations are infinite. The last ingredient is the diluent. The function of this ingredient is to dilute the nicotine and flavoring to the desired strength. It also is the part of solution that produces a physical vapor, and allows the solution to travel from the cartridge/well of the e-cigarette to the user's mouth.
The strength of the liquid can be customized, but it essentially refers to how much nicotine is contained within a set volume of the liquid. The basic measure to determine this is milligram of nicotine per milliliter of total fluid (mg/ml). This measurement was created in comparison to the amount of nicotine in conventional cigarettes. For example, a pack of cigarettes contains approximately 36mg of nicotine. In comparison, if an e-liquid contains 18 mg/ml of nicotine, and you vape one milliliter of the liquid, it is the equivalent to smoking approximately ten conventional cigarettes, although the type of nicotine processed by e-cigarettes is not the same type gained from actually smoking. If you are used to smoking "a pack a day", then research shows that 18 mg/ml e-liquid is probably a suitable strength for you start vaping with. Heavier smokers may find that a stronger strength (24 or 36 mg/ml) is more satisfying, while occasional smokes may start with 10 mg/ml. The newest trend is also an e-liquid that does not contain any nicotine at all by volume, but is basically a mixture of flavor concentrate and and dilution components.
There are so many customizable features of electronic cigarettes, and the e-liquid allows you to add a personal touch flavor and nicotine. The choice is all yours.

When building a BMC bicycle, we want its origins to be proudly on display in the frame. And the impec is no exception. The design of the impec identifies it as a true member of the family – even if its frame has evolved in a totally different way...
From the technical point of view, the frame of the impec is a minor revolution. The carbon structure of the frame tubes is woven seamlessly, while the frame joints at the nodal points each consist of two half-shells. No-one has built a bicycle frame like this before. it is absolutely new. Equally new and revolutionary is the entire design of the frame.
The impec conceals nothing. Quite the opposite, in fact – it wears its insides on the outside. The frame joints are based on the Shell Node Concept and are the frame's striking feature. Purely in terms of design, SNC is an absolutely consistent refinement of our Skeleton Concept which differentiates many BMC developments from all the rest. The skeleton strut between the seat tube and the top tube makes absolute sense in design terms and what is more has now become our trademark.
Another stunning feature of the impec are the precision-woven carbon structures of the frame tubes which reveal the inner perfection of the frame.
As the first bike of its kind, the impec is even now something of a technical icon. Everything about it is pure high-tech. Everything about it is solely for the purpose of turning the vision of the flawless high performance bike into reality. This requirement has also been a key factor in the design of the impec.
The impec transforms technology into design and bare facts into pure emotion. Or in the words of architect Louis Sullivan: Form follows function.
To rethink the bike. To optimize the genetic code. That was the job of our engineers. Resulting in the impec: a standard-bearer for technology that combines the latest developments in the construction of carbon frames with components that are in a class of their own...
The impec is a textbook example of a racing machine. The bike has been strictly tailored to conform to UCI regulations. Total weight: 6.8 kilos. While accommodating the demands of everyday racing, the entire bike is configured for maximum performance and load. it starts with the design of the frame and does not end with the choice of technical components. The basic rule for the impec is that only the finest of everything will do.
The impec's frame is an absolute first. Never before have there been frame tubes whose carbon structure is seamlessly woven onto molded carriers. Never before have there been two-piece frame joints made from a high-density carbon compound material. And never before have there been high-tech frames produced in an industrial zero-error process.
At the heart of the revolution are the Load Specific Weave – LSW process and the Shell Node Concept – SNC. Both technologies are BMC's own developments that we have carried out exclusively for the impec. The bike also has many other high-tech features, such as a tapered fork and low seat stay.
To make the qualities of the flawless high performance frame really tangible, only the finest components are used on the impec. For example, high-end products by Campagnolo, Shimano and Sram are available to choose for the group, while Di2, Shimano's digitally controlled gear system, can be supplied from the factory. The wheelsets are from Easton or Mavic and the preferred saddle is from Selle italia. But whichever variation you finally decide to go for, it will be perfect.
Load Specific Weave – LSW is one of the two technologies we have developed specially for the impec. in this process, the tubes for the frame of the impec are woven first of all from carbon fibers and then in a second step are converted to a highly rigid structure using a special resin compound. The load-specific weaving process is fully automated and delivers precision visible to the naked eye. The frame of the impec is a carbon fiber and resin structure which is accurate to one tenth of a millimeter.
What is new about LSW is the processing of carbon fibers from the reel. The tubes are woven seamlessly and with a perfect fit onto positive molds of pinpoint accuracy. What is new is that each of these tubes is designed, programmed and and produced
to be perfectly optimized for the load it will bear. This results in absolutely flawless frame tubes for the impec.
The Shell node concept – SNC guarantees maximum stiffness and stability of the frame joints on the impec. These high-density half- shells are made from a newly developed carbon compound material and are bonded under precision control with the frame tubes during assembly of the frame. At the same time, the interior design of the half-shells is optimized to provide for optimum adhesion between all the individual parts of the frame.
The benefit of the SNC half-shell technology lies in its total control over the junctions. A robot is also used when the impec's frame is joined together and in addition an optical system controls each individual joint.
What is new about the SNC above all is that a composite compound material produces an extremely rigid material. What is new is that we process this material in a precision injection molding process. This results in absolutely flawless frame joints on the impec.
An improved frame has always been the main development aim at BMC. As a result, we have brought a whole host of exciting innovations onto the market in recent years which are of course fitted as standard on the impec.
Force Specific Tubing defines BMC's philosophy of optimizing frame tubes for their load and their weight. With the impec, we were able to turn this philosophy into reality with even greater rigor with the new Load Specific Weave – LSW and Shell Node Concept – SNC technologies. The structural advantages of these dual technologies have resulted in all stresses being optimally absorbed and distributed within the frame.
On the impec as well a lower slung seatstay and special flex zones in this area provide for the typical BMC mix of ride comfort with lateral stiffness and absolute handling precision. The low seatstay is a feature that you very quickly learn to value – especially on longer tours and the worst kinds of roads.
The impec is fitted with a tapered fork. The shaft of the fork is strengthened from below. This is how the impec compensates for the extreme stresses which are exerted on the lower section of the steertube – an obvious plus in safety.
BMC frames are also fundamentally different from the rest in that we have already thought of everything that makes a perfect bicycle out of a frame at the design stage. We want one part to join flawlessly onto another. Add-on parts, such as the seatpost, are developed and produced for the impec by our suppliers at their premises. This development work based on partnership with our suppliers ensures the perfect interplay of frame and components. The aim is to minimize tolerances in order to further optimize the ride qualities.
Di2 stands for Digital Integrated Intelligence; it comes from Shimano and represents the arrival of digital components in bicycle construction at the highest level. The digitally controlled electronic gear system is a revolution in
itself and sets new standards in the high-end sector with its "fly by wire" concept.
Di2 permits particularly fast and precise gear changes. it is impossible to miss a gear with Di2. With its smart sensor technology, Di2 also controls and corrects the position of the chain during the ride and optimizes power transmission to the rear wheel. in short, Di2 offers greater safety and the very best in user-friendly gear changes. The system also reduces friction loss and wear.
The impec can be supplied with Di2 from the factory, making this version an impressive product through rigorous system integration. The frame was designed so that all components in the system play a specific role and are incorporated to optimum effect into the overall design.
The impec isn't an off-the-peg bike but a tailor-made suit. It is made-to-measure for its rider. Tailored for you and tailored for your ambitions. To do this we have developed a modular system for the impec which permits a whole host of variations...
It all starts with a fitting at one of our specialist dealers. The dealer will first of all take precise measurements and then define with you how your very own impec is to be constructed and configured. Five frame sizes, each with two rider positions, three seatposts and a range of stems are available to choose. The fitting is of key importance for the final quality of the impec. Indeed, it is only when all these parameters are fine-tuned to each other that the unity of rider and machine can evolve, as was always intended when we first developed the impec.
The frame of the impec is hardwired for competition from top to bottom. But even if you are simply looking for the perfect riding machine for entirely your own ambitions, the impec is the first choice. Two different rider positions can be supplied. The Race Fit and Performance Fit options. The difference between the two configurations lies above all in the height of the top tube.
In the race Fit, the impec is absolutely configured for competition. This geometry corresponds closeley to the SLR01 teammachine on which Cadel Evans won the Flèche Wallonne in 2010.
In the Performance Fit version, the seatpost and head tube are 19 mm longer and the distance between saddle and handlebar is 6 mm shorter than in the Race Fit thus achieving a somewhat more comfortable seated position.

The KJ Experience Mauritius
Just came back from another really amazing trip to Mauritius, however this time it was not for a competition or photo shoot, but instead to run my KJ Experience kitesurf & yoga courses, helping other passionate kiters progress in their kiting, and experience the magic of Mauritius and its waters. Something thats much more rewarding than getting on a podium, winning a trophy, or getting that classic image in a magazine, is helping others to feel the stoke of the sea and kiting, and experience the inner calm of yoga. Seeing others progress, trying new manoeuvres, pushing their limits, sharing experiences, feelings, wipeouts, then being united and calmed at the end of the day with a stretching, therapeutic yoga session in a beautiful environment , is really rewarding. My KJ Experience courses seem to attract very special, interesting people, kiters from all over the world, who I feel very blessed to have met and shared time with. Each and every one brings their own unique energy, personality, riding style, aims, and humour, which creates an amazing atmosphere on and off the water!
Thanks to all of you special people who participated on the recent course in Mauritius, and to my amazing sponsors North Kiteboarding and ION who allow me to push my own limits in the sea, riding with the most revolutionary, incredible equipment! In my bag for this trip was a North 9 & 7m Dice, which is the most awesome, ultimate kite for waves and freestyle, and the Pro series 5'11 and Select 135cm Twin tip. I also had my favourite purple ION hot shorty, Nova harness, and of course a fine selection of ION bikinis and board shorts!
The only other thing that was needed was wind, waves and sunshine, which Mauritius and mother nature gave us plenty of :-)
The new Neo is out!!!
The brand new NEO is available! The newest kite in the range of six NKB kites is the Neo. A dedicated freestyle/wave kite with only 3 struts. Astonishing easy and predictable to fly, offering a drift ability which allows you really to surf waves, without getting dragged off the board or constantly steering your kite. But just watch the clip and convince yourself:
The Mauritius Episode
Right after the KSP Mauritius we took the chance to really enjoy Mauritius and managed to get some sick shots of barrels, huge walls and also massive wipeouts. Watch the best athletes in their game, Airton Cozzolino, Patri McLaughlin, Kirsty Jones and Ninja Bichler playing with the elements to the extreme. Additionally get a closer look on the beautiful island Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, probably one of the most versatile kite spots on this globe: flat water lagoons, wave entry spots and of course impressing One Eye. And all that within spitting distance!
Enjoy the ride with your host Tom Court and just so much, it´s worth watching it until the last second!
"Mauritius" - Episode Teaser online!!!

Enjoy the teaser and stay tuned for the full amazing episode coming out soon!
Tom Court hits Mauritius 2012
With the rain pouring down the windows at home in the UK, I decided to get off the couch, put down the PS3 controller and book a ticket out to Mauritius. Having seen so much from the KSP out there, I wanted to see what it was like for some all round Free Riding...
Wether its for flat water or waves, this spot is epic. On the Le Morne peninsula on the south west tip of the island. One Eye is the spot to ride! Check it out from another RipSlix production...

When recently I needed a longer focal length for sport photography the question arose which lens?. It would be nice if money was no object and I could afford a lens by Nikon to compliment my D300, but hey, they do costa plenty!. So what now I thought, answer, start doing my research on lenses up to 400mm. After many hours of studying reports I decided that the Sigma 120-400mm f4.5-5.6 would suit my needs. I already owned lenses by Sigma and have found them to be good performers so why should this one be any different. So I bought one and shot off to my local racing circuit, Oulton Park, to try it out on fast moving racing motor cycles. What a great lens for this subject, with crisp clear images even at wide apertures. I shoot at speeds of 500 sec up to 1000sec with ISO's between 400-1000. Still great images!.
This lens is heavy and looks the part, but after a few hours of it hanging round my neck one certainly knows it's there. It has two levels of VR, (vibration reduction) which works really well, holding the image steady for long enough while the exposure is made, and when a bike is flying past at 140mph this is much appreciated. I've learned to only take the pic when the subject fills the frame, that way no image deterioration will take place as it does if an image needs cropping, resulting in lost pixels and loss of quality in the image. Was this lens a good buy?, you betcha it was, thank you very much Sigma.

The man behind the plow…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
After four long months of cold and snowy weather, springtime sure was a welcomed sight in the mountains. Being cooped up in the house all winter sure would give a kid a case of "cabin fever". But lots of hard work came with the warm weather. We were taught that from an early age.
Back when I was a small boy spring and summer were used to prepare for the next winter. If we didn't want to go hungry in winter we knew we had to work hard to put up as much food possible. And that meant growing a big garden.
We started early in spring by cleaning and burning off the weeds from our garden spot. All the weeds that were left after the last harvest were cut, raked and piled up to be burned. "The ashes," Dad said, "will make the garden grow more vegetables."
After the garden was cleared we went to the barn and cleaned out the stalls of all the manure. This was loaded in a wooden sled and pulled to the garden with our mule to be scattered over the soil. Dad said, "Manure is a natural fertilizer. Plants love it."
When the garden was dry enough, our mule was hooked to a plow and the ground was turned. Dad would wrap the leather plow lines around his neck as he muscled the plow in straight rows through the soil. A good mule could be guided by voice commands of "gee" and "haw". A real good mule would walk a straight line through the garden almost with no commands at all.
Plowing the garden with a mule and plow took a lot of time and a lot of muscle. But after it was finished it was a work of art. I loved the way the air smelled around a fresh plowed field. It was one of those smells that reminded me again that winter was over and new life was about to emerge.
After turning the ground Dad smoothed out the furrows with a disc. Then he used two railroad ties nailed together to smooth it out even further. Dad would have the garden looking "like a lettuce bed."
The entire field was then "laid-off" with another plow to give us the rows to plant the crops in. Garden work was hard working with a mule and plow, but it had to be done.
The first crops we planted were usually cabbage and potatoes. A little frost never hurt the cabbage and the potatoes took two to three weeks just to peek out of the ground so by the time they came up the chance of frost was almost gone.
Dad only raised one kind of potato, Kennebec. If we had potatoes left over from the winter sometimes we used them to plant and they worked just fine. But most times all the potatoes from the previous harvest were gone and a fresh burlap bag of certified seed potatoes were used.
A couple of days before planting the potatoes we all sat around large buckets with our knives in hand cutting the seed potatoes to be planted. A large one would sometimes have several "eyes" on it so it could be halved and quartered up into more planting stock. After finishing the potatoes would be set-aside for two or three days to heal the cut. Dad said this would make the potato hardier when we planted them in the ground.
We planted several long rows of potatoes. It took a lot to feed our large family. Most of the time Momma fried or mashed them but she also used them in many other ways. With leftover mashed potatoes she made one of my favorites, potato cakes. She made hash browns, potato soup and potato salad. She cooked them in vegetable soup. We wrapped them in tin foil and cooked them in our fireplace. Potatoes were served in one way or another at just about every meal.
Dad raised our tomato plants from seed in a large bed. He always raised more than we could use so he sold the plants we didn't need for extra money. We put out as many as a hundred plants for our use in the garden. Tomatoes were another garden product that we used in many different ways.
Momma and Daddy would can as many quarts of tomato juice as they could. Back then we ate lots of macaroni in tomato juice. It is also another one of my favorite meals. We used the juice in soup, tomato gravy, in slum-gullion and in chili. Plus, we drank large amounts of it as a healthy drink.
Corn and beans were also plentiful in our garden. Those, along with potatoes, were essential foods for most mountain families. We canned as many vegetables as possible for the next winter. It was a never-ending cycle.
Each year when I smell fresh earth turned over in a field it takes me back once again to my childhood. Not to last year or the year before but the early years of my life. Back to a time when the smell of a fresh garden triggered my senses reminding me that winter was finally over once again and a new year had began.
I hope I never lose that sensation. Even today, when I close my eyes and take in a deep breath through my nose of a newly plowed field I can still see my father behind the plow of our old mule, under a warm spring sun, as he prepared the ground for another autumn harvest.

Old time remedies…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
The other day I was thinking back to my childhood, as I often do, trying to remember some of my family's old time remedies. There was something for just about any problem a person could have. Some were a little off the wall but others really did work. Here are a few of the ones I remember.
A Sprained or Twisted Ankle – This is one that I still swear by. When we twisted or sprained an ankle Momma would take a brown paper bag and cut it into strips about an inch wide. Then, she would soak the strips in vinegar until they were saturated. The strips of paper were then wrapped around the ankle or joint.
This process was repeated after the paper dried out or until the soreness was gone from the joint, usually after two or three applications.
To make your hair grow – Momma would always go into the woods and cut the end of a grapevine. Under the vine she would place a quart jar and catch the sap from the vine. When she washed her hair she wet her hair with the sap and wrapped it with a towel for about 10 minutes. Momma believed the sap would make her hair long and strong like the grapevine.
Tonsillitis – Daddy would get a chicken feather and paint our tonsils with iodine even though the bottle displayed the "skull and crossbones" (poison) on it.
To treat dandruff – mix a tablespoon of sulfur in a quart of water and shake well. Wet your hair and head every morning with the liquid until the dandruff disappears.
To get rid of a headache – Chew on the bark of a willow tree. I have also heard that you could get rid of a headache by placing a pair of scissors under your pillow before going to sleep. The scissors was supposed to cut the pain of the headache.
For a wasp or bee sting – chewing tobacco was rubbed over the sting. Or, I was told you could mix honey with a dirt daubers nest and rub on the sting.
To remove the infection of a boil – break a fresh hen egg and remove the lining of the egg. Place the egg lining over the boil overnight to draw out the infection.
Poison ivy – Griffin's brand white shoe polish was used to cover the affected area. I have also heard you could dig up poke roots and boil to make a paste to rub on poison ivy.
To treat sunburn – make a paste of cornstarch and milk. Spread the mix over the sunburn. Later, Momma found out that the secretions from an broken piece of the aloe plant worked well when rubbed over the sunburn.
To keep chiggers off – rub a little kerosene on your ankles, legs, and arms.
To treat a sore throat – take a teaspoon of sugar and add two or three drops of turpentine to the sugar. Swallow slowly. This was also good for a stomachache. Or, try chewing the bark from a slippery elm tree.
For a cut – Momma first covered the cut with table salt to clot the bleeding. Then, she put kerosene on a white rag and tied it around the cut to keep down infection and to take out the soreness. My Pap Paw said to put a spider's web over a cut and it would stop the bleeding.
There were several ways used to remove warts – (1) Rub the wart with a dirty dishrag and hide the rag under a rock. (2) She also said that the seventh son, of a seventh son could buy (give you money) the wart and it would disappear. (3) Tie the wart tightly with the hair from a horse's tail and it would fall off. We used black thread and it worked just a good. (4) Rub butter on the wart and let a cat lick it.
For an upset stomach – a teaspoon of baking soda was mixed with water and swallowed.
Cough or cold – Daddy would make a cough syrup out of whiskey or moonshine, honey, lemon, and red pepper. This always worked, plus it made you feel a lot better.
To get rid of hiccups – take 10 swallows of water or slip up behind the person and pop a brown bag that you have filled with air. The noise will scare the hiccups away.
For an earache – pour warm urine from a spoon into the ear. (Then get rid of the spoon.)
To get a crick out of your neck – go to the hog pen and find where a hog has rubbed his neck on a fence post or tree. Then rub your neck in the same place.
For diarrhea – eat a lot of cheese.

The Greatest Gift…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
When I was growing up Easter was the holiday that Momma and my sisters always look forward to the most. You see Easter was one of the few times of the year when Momma and the girls got a new dress. It was an old mountain tradition.
In the early years Momma couldn't afford a store bought dress for her and Jackie. So she would start a month before Easter selecting the perfect materials and the patterns to make their dresses from. Momma sewed a lot back then. She was an excellent seamstress.
Back then every woman knew how to sew. Money was hard to come by so instead of throwing clothes away when they got a rip or a tear in them they were repaired.
Most all of her sewing was on an old pedal type Singer sewing machine. But when she needed to, she could hand stitch as good as anybody. Her quilts were truly a work of art. When Momma set her mind to doing something she never hardly stopped until the job was done.
One special Easter Momma had finished making Jackie's dress and was putting the finishing touches on her dress to wear to church on Sunday. We had company that day. A neighbor girl was visiting with us. Momma was sitting on the couch sewing lace on her dress in ruffles around the arms, neck and bottom by hand.
When she had finished, Momma held it up to her body and she looked beautiful. I remember the neighbor girl said, "I sure wish I had a pretty dress like that. If I did, I would go to church with you Juanita."
"You would? What color of dress would you like if you could have one," Momma asked.
The young girl said, "I wouldn't care what color it was as long as it had lace on it, just like yours."
Momma never said another word but we could tell by her smile that wheels were turning inside her head.
After sitting with us a little while longer the little girl got up and left to go home. Momma then went to work. She had made up her mind that the little neighbor girl would have her own Easter dress come Sunday morning.
Momma went to her closet where she kept her pieces of fabric and began to search for enough to make the dress. She found a nice pink piece of fabric with tiny rose buds on it for the dress bottom and another solid light green piece for the top.
Momma worked on the dress tirelessly until late Friday night. Then on Saturday after breakfast she was back on the dress again determined to get it finished in time. Finally, after working nonstop late into the evening sewing on the lace that the little girl wanted so badly, the dress was finished.
Momma then sent one of us to the neighbors to bring the little girl to our house for her surprise. When she saw the dress she couldn't believe that the dress was for her. She said with eyes and mouth wide open, "Is that for me?"
"Yes it is," Momma assured her, "You're going to wear it to church tomorrow."
Momma told the smiling little girl to go try it on. Soon she returned and it fit perfectly, "I ain't never had a pretty dress like this before. Thank you, Juanita," the little girl said as she hugged Momma tight around the waist.
"Be ready at 9:30 in the morning and we'll pick you up for church. I think you need to show this dress off." Momma told her.
"I think so too," the little girl answered with a smile from ear to ear.
That year, Easter Sunday at church was like a beauty pageant as all the girls and ladies of the congregation made their way into church with their new Easter outfits on to show them off. Everyone looked their finest but none were more beautiful than the Momma, Jackie and the little girl who had never had a dress on until that Easter Sunday. It was hard for me to tell who was the happiest Momma, Jackie or the little girl by the size of their smiles.
I learned a valuable lesson from my family that Easter. Momma had told me many times before that "…Sometimes it is better to give, than to receive."
That Easter I finally realized what Momma was really talking about.

"Raw Head and Bloody Bones" …a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
Long before there was Jason of Friday The 13th, before Michael Myers of Halloween, or before Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street, there were two more evil characters named, Raw Head and Bloody Bones.
My Mother had told the story many times, but I never tired of hearing it again and again. It was a tale of the two most bloodthirsty, horrible creatures you could ever imagine, and they ate little children who were bad.
They lived up in the attic of her Aunt Bertha's house at Hima. Many times Mom would take us along to Aunt Bertha and Uncle Lonnie's to visit. One look up at the ceiling in the living room and you would see the red stains that only could have been made by a feast on many, mean little boys and girls.
Raw Head and Bloody Bones didn't eat good kids. They were much too tender. They only liked bad kids, who were a lot tougher. They liked the way mean kids tasted. And because their meat was tougher, it lasted longer. It was told, the more mean kids they ate, the meaner they got.
Needless to say, when we were at Aunt Bertha's house we were all little angels. We had heard the story of Raw Head and Bloody Bones and knew better than to be anything but angels.
Mom said when she was a small girl, she didn't believe the story of the two monsters that lived in the attic. That was until the night she and her sister Ruth were to stay all night at Bertha's house. It was a night she would never forget.
Mom's Aunt and Uncle were big cut-ups. They were always playing pranks. That night, they out did themselves.
There were two beds in the one tiny bedroom, one for Aunt Bertha and Uncle Lonnie and one for Momma and her sister Ruth to sleep in. They didn't have electric back then so at bedtime an old coal oil lamp was used to make the way to the bedroom after supper. In the dim light of the coal oil lamp, the plan was about to fall into place.
When all were in bed for the night, Uncle Lonnie would remind the kids once again of the story of Raw Head and Bloody Bones. Every so often, he would stop and the girls would hear a rattle. Uncle Lonnie would ask, "What was that?"
Mom and Ruth pulled the cover up, just a little closer around them, praying that they hadn't heard the noise they just had. Maybe, they had only heard a mouse. Maybe it wasn't anything at all just their mind playing tricks on them.
Again, as the room got quieter, they could hear the noise, like the sound of a chain. Lonnie said, "Maybe it's Raw Head and Bloody Bones and they want to tell us something!" Again they heard the chain-like rattle.
"Are you trying to tell us something? For yes, rattle once, for no, rattle twice!" Uncle Lonnie asked. Clang went the noise! Yes, it seemed Raw Head and Bloody Bones were ready to talk.
The flickering light from the lamp made the red stains on the ceiling dance and come alive, as if blood was oozing from above. Closer the girls got, now holding hands under the cover afraid of what Uncle Lonnie was going to ask next.
"Are you Raw Head or Bloody Bones?" he nervously asked " Rattle once for Raw Head, or twice for Bloody Bones." Two clangs followed.
"Do you want to talk to Juanita or Ruth? Rattle once for Juanita or twice for Ruth." Lonnie softly whispered as he labored to catch his breath as if scared himself. One clang followed.
"Don't ask Bloody Bones anything else Uncle Lonnie!" Juanita begged, but still the questions and answers followed.
"Bloody Bones, has Juanita been a good little girl?" he asked this time. One clang sounded. You could hear a sigh of relief from the sister's bed.
"Well then, has Ruth been a good little girl?" Lonnie asked puzzled. This time, two clangs sounded. You could hear the two small girls gasping for air as the blanket now was completely over their heads.
"Are you h-u-n-g-r-y Bloody Bones?" Lonnie slowly managed to get out. One loud rattle sounded.
That wasn't the sound the sisters wanted to hear. Screams filled the room as the two little girls quickly ran to the bedside of their Aunt Bertha, jumping under the covers as Uncle Lonnie began laughing uncontrollably.
Little did Momma and Ruth know that just before bedtime, Uncle Lonnie had rigged up a string from the headboard of the bed, up the wall to a bent nail, across the ceiling to another bent nail, then down to a ring of skeleton keys hanging behind a cast iron skillet hanging on the opposite wall. When the string was pulled from Uncle Lonnie's bed, it would clang on the backside of the skillet and make the scary rattling sounds.
The stains on the ceiling weren't anything but stains left from a leaky roof. Mom didn't tell us that until we were much older. When we were young, seven small kids could be hard to handle sometimes. It made us a little more aware of how we acted when we visited Aunt Bertha and Uncle Lonnie's.
The story brought the two sisters closer, each always wanting to be the protector of the other. They shared a bond that not even two scary monsters could break. A family's love is stronger than that.
Momma told the story many times of Raw Head and Bloody Bones. We even pulled the prank ourselves a few times when we had friends staying over and wanted a good laugh.
As I re-tell the story today, it's another one of the ways I keep my Momma's memory alive and the strong love she had for her family.

Pickin' my brain…a boy's memories
By: Rodney Miller
My parents and grandparents had a saying for everything back when I was young. I didn't need an explanation for any of them. I knew what they were talking about because we used them almost every day. But today, most have been lost to time.
Here are some of the old mountain sayings and afterwards an explanation for those who need to know exactly what they meant. I really had fun with this one. I hope you enjoy it.
I haven't thought of a lot of these sayings 'in a coon's age' (a long time). So for a week I have been 'pickin' my brain' (trying to remember) to think of as many as I could. I guess you could say 'I've been as busy as a bee' (really busy) or as the old timers might say 'as busy as a one armed man hanging wall paper' (super busy).
So if I don't come up with some of the ones you know 'don't get your panties in a wad' (upset or mad) or 'go off half-cocked' (with only some of the facts) thinking that 'I don't know my head from a hole in the ground' (not very intelligent). I'll do my best to have this article 'chugged full' (over-flowing) of the best ones. But I'm sure there will be many more I will omit.
In my old 'stomping grounds' (where I was raised) everyone lived and talked the same way. I guess you could say the 'apple never falls far from the tree' (being just like your parents). My Momma and Daddy taught me that you earn your way 'by the sweat of your brow' (by working hard).
If I weren't getting my job done quick enough my Daddy would say that I was 'slower than molasses in January' (too slow). He might then tell me to 'use more elbow grease' (put some muscle into it).
If we were in a hurry to get something done we would 'give it a lick and a promise' (just enough to get by with until we had more time to finish the job). If we didn't finish the job at all we were said to be 'sorrier than cyarn' (never did know what that was, but it wasn't good).
When we came into the house and didn't close the front door Momma would ask, 'were you raised in a barn' (somewhere the door didn't need closing)? She would say 'that was a poor excuse' (trying to explain why we hadn't closed the door) when we tried to explain why we left the door open.
If we then tried to maybe accuse another 'guilty bird' (another person) for the deed she would say 'if the shoe fits, wear it' (if you did it, admit it) if she knew we were guilty.
Ever since I was 'knee high to a grasshopper' (very young) I was taught that I should never 'bite off more than I could chew' (attempt what you can't accomplish). If I got more than I could eat at the table I was told 'my eyes were bigger than my stomach' (wasting food). I was often reminded to never 'get above my raisin' (forget where I came from). I am glad to say, I never did.
When I got mad sometimes I 'flew off the handle' (got real angry) because I felt like I got 'the short end of the stick' (not treated fair). I was often warned to 'not let my mouth get my butt in trouble' (say something I would be sorry for later). I was also cautioned to 'hold my tongue' (not speak) until I thought things out.
If I got mad and didn't say anything I would set there 'like a knot on a log' (not moving) wanting to give someone a 'piece of my mind' (tell them what I really thought). Then at other times I would just speak up and give them a 'piece of my mind' or 'down the road' (telling it like it was). That was called 'letting off steam'.
If I was wrong in my accusations I was told I 'was barking up the wrong tree'. If I didn't believe a word I heard I would say 'well that one takes the cake' (a lie). Or if I was shocked or speechless I might say 'Well shut my mouth'.
Chickens played a large part of our conversation back then. I was told to 'never count my chickens before they hatched' (not know the results first). I was constantly reminded that a smart man would 'get up with the chickens' (early, before daylight) and 'go to bed with the chickens' (just at sundown). We were expected to be sitting at the breakfast table 'before the cock crows' (at daybreak).
If we needed something we couldn't get or afford we were 'looking for something that was as scarce as hen's teeth'. If we were in a big hurry we were said to be 'running around like a chicken with his head cut off'. I was told 'a whistling woman and a crowing hen never comes to a very good end' (to try to be something you're not).
If a person wasn't real smart they were said to be 'dumber than a door-nail' (really dumb). The really slow were said to be 'dumber than a coal bucket' (dumber than a door-nail). Saying that to someone would be an 'insult to injury' or 'rubbing salt in a wound' (rubbing it in).
But I knew lots of people when I was young whose 'bread was only half done' (a little slow) or whose 'elevator didn't go to the top floor' (even slower).
'I do declare' (I'm telling you) if you've heard most of these sayings we are like 'two peas in a pod' (act or think alike). What's that? You can't admit it? 'Cat got your tongue' (afraid to say)?, 'Well if that don't take the cake' (I'm surprised).
Or maybe, you are afraid to admit it because some people would believe that you are 'over the hill' (old) or 'older than Methuselah' (really old) and maybe even 'too old to cut the mustard' (you know what that means, don't you). 'You don't say' (Hard to believe)?
Hope you had fun remembering these. I sure had fun writing it 'more fun than a barrel of monkeys'. 'Ain't that the berries' (something great)!

Has the "mojo hand" lost its mojo?
In 2008, a paralegal at Weil Gotshal alleged in a lawsuit that Matthew Powers, co-chair of litigation at Weil at the time, ruled over his domain with the "pimp hand" and the "mojo hand." The "pimp hand" was used to intimidate and coerce, while the "mojo hand" was used to stroke and cajole.
In 2011, Powers, one of the nation's leading intellectual-property litigators, left Weil to start his own firm, Tensegrity Law Group. In leaving Biglaw, he also left behind a stable of blue-chip clients, focusing instead on representing plaintiffs on a contingency basis.
Two years into his new venture, some observers are wondering whether Matt Powers has lost his powers….

"Just because [flu season] arrives early, it doesn't mean absolutely that it's going to be worse than normal," Boss said. "It could be. It might not be. Flu is probably the most unpredictable disease that we deal with. So to speculate based on data that's beginning to come in that this season is going to play out one way or another is interesting to do but it's almost meaningless. So the messages that we're still trying to get out are we know that every year flu season typically starts in Georgia as early as October and can run as late as March or April of the next year. Sometimes it begins a little earlier, sometimes later.
"This time it looks like it's kicked in and actually begun prior to Christmas. And we also know that there is plenty of flu vaccine available in our communities. It's more available than ever before, at more places and more of the vaccine was manufactured this year than ever before. ... It's not too late to get the flu shot. You can find flu shots at any number of providers — at private physicians, your local health department, big-box retailers that have pharmacies, even your employer may be offering them."
Even though most people will recover from influenza in less than two weeks and experience symptoms — such as fever, sore throat, runny nose, fatigue and muscle aches — some individuals develop complications that can result in hospitalization or death. People who are considered at-risk for serious flu-related problems are young children, pregnant women, individuals 65 years and older, and people with particular chronic medical conditions, such as asthma or heart disease.
With the CDC reporting about 200,000 hospitalizations are attributed to influenza each season in the U.S., Boss stressed the importance of being vaccinated for the flu season, which normally reaches its height in January or February. The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older receive an annual flu vaccine, which can be administered as a shot or a nasal spray.
"According to CDC's weekly surveillance report published on Nov. 30, 2012, 48 states and Puerto Rico have already reported cases of laboratory-confirmed influenza and, nationally, the percentage of specimens testing positive for influenza is rising fast," the CDC revealed in a news release. "Influenza-like-illness (ILI) activity levels in parts of the country are already higher than all of last season. Nationally, the United States reached the baseline level for ILI the week ending Nov. 24, 2012, and five states [Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas] are already reporting the highest level of activity possible.
"... activity is most intense in the south-central and southeast of the country right now; however, it shows signs of increasing across the rest of the country as well. Most of the viruses characterized so far this season have been H3N2 viruses; which are typically associated with more severe seasons. The good news is that most of the viruses characterized at CDC so far this season are well-matched to the vaccine viruses."
To keep flu vaccinations on the forefront of people's minds after Thanksgiving, National Influenza Vaccination Week is being observed through Saturday. Currently, an estimated 37 percent of the U.S. population has been immunized, which is similar to the last year's figures.
"It's important to try and get our influenza immunization rates up," said Boss, adding vaccinations usually decrease after the holidays. "Georgia has some of the lowest population immunization rates in the U.S. Typically we're lucky if we get 40 percent of our population immunized against flu. If we could get that up more in the 80 percent range, we could almost stop flu dead in its tracks each year but we're a long ways from that. So the recommendation this year is for everyone 6 months and older to get a flu shot. That's just about universal.
"... We can talk in generalities, but [flu season] gets here when it gets here and this year it appears that it got here in early December. But again, it's just too early to speculate on what kind of flu season it's going to be. The good news is that there appears to be a good match this year between the strains of influenza that are circulating and the vaccine that was produced for this year. So again, folks should get their flu vaccination. It remains the single best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from getting flu."

Got stung by a wasp, not once, but twice while dumping a load of fill for behind the header wall of our tile.
Dang thing seems to have come out of my ATV. Sprayed all underneath, but swearing I saw the wasp or another again after I parked my ATV. By the time I put away the ATV and tools my hand was on the swell. Soaked in ice water and then wife had my soak my hand in Epson salt water. Soaked it a bunch before I went to bed.
Got up this morning and my hand swollen and warm to the touch. So more soaking and all that did was make it feel better. Wife gave me some pill for alergic reaction, but ain't nothing happening to make me feel good about missing another 3D.
Started soaking my hand again (see pan in pic). My release hand is so swollen there ain't no way I can get off a accurate shot needed for the Galesburg 3D. And then there's no valley between the first, second and third knuckles. So fit to the jaw bone ain't happening either. Feels like I have a glove on about two sizes too small - that tight.
See red lines. One sting left a small round bruise. That one is probably the one where the wasp started his attack run from about 10,000 feet up. Hit so hard I made a few....colorful metaphors.

In my opinion, this is the suggested manufacturer's date of when their product will still be at its peak flavor. My experience is that this date is normally very
conservative. The reason for this is that the manufacturer has no control over its storage conditions once it is out of his hands. Therefore I consider as long as the packing is intack, no damage to the product, it will be satisfactory for a longer period of time than its "Best By date." This is the same logic I use in the supermarket, where "Best By date" is also used on most food products. When it is my home, I control it storage and use. I do have a policy to use the oldest first and try to rotate my coffee/food supply. I hope that this all makes sense to you and helps! Feb 27, 2013

Black Waters: The Strange History of Port Blair
Tavarikh-i 'ajib (Black waters: The strange history of Port Blair) is an account of the British penal colony of Port Blair, located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean. The British first established a naval base and penal colony on the islands in 1789, which they had abandoned by 1796 because of disease. Following the Uprising of 1857 (also known as the Sepoy Rebellion), the British authorities in India saw a new need for a secure prison in a remote location, and construction began in Port Blair ...

What could be two distinctly different races at the two-day edition of Paris-Corrèze provides the BMC Racing Team with a host of possibilities, Assistant Director Max Sciandri said.
Blythe, Lodewyck For The Sprint
Sciandri said Wednesday's 168.1-kilometer road race is an opportunity for the team's breakaway specialists or sprinters while Thursday's 170.2 km race is one more for the stage racing specialists. "We have a lot of options to play for both days," Sciandri said. "The bottom line, though, is we're looking for results. And the riders we have can definitely deliver." Swiss national road champion Martin Kohler is one of those breakaway specialists, Sciandri said, while Klaas Lodewyck said he's looking forward to the race coming off a third-place on Stage 4 of the Tour de Wallonie. "These extra two days of racing can bring me again to a higher level," Lodewyck said. "After Wallonie, my legs are feeling better every day and I hope Adam (Blythe) or I can make a good result in the sprint."
BMC Racing Team Paris-Corrèze Roster (Aug. 1-2):
Adam Blythe (GBR), Yannick Eijssen (BEL), Martin Kohler (SUI), Klaas Lodewyck (BEL), Mauro Santambrogio (ITA), Ivan Santaromita (ITA), Johann Tschopp (SUI), Danilo Wyss (SUI).

I am currently hooked on medjool dates – which cost $19.99 a kilo! I love them stuffed with cheese or on their own.
What is your foodie splurge? What's the one ingredient (or foodstuff or snack) you buy regardless of cost?
What is your foodie splurge? What's the one ingredient (or foodstuff or snack) you buy regardless of cost?
I am currently hooked on medjool dates – which cost $19.99 a kilo! I love them stuffed with cheese or on their own.
Cadbury chocolate. Especially a good flake bar. I am weak.
Ooh, good question. I think for me, it's fruit. If it looks/smells really good, I'll buy it, even if the price is outrageous. No point in saving money by buying something less expensive with no taste.
Domino sugar, which is outrageously expensive–sometimes $5 a bag–around these parts.
Chocolate. I know no budget when it comes to chocolate.
Surprise–I agree, Leslie!
Parmigiano-Reggiano. The real deal – not from a green can. I grew up with it and will accept no substitutes! A little goes a long way and it lasts (almost) forever in the fridge.
I was going to say vanilla beans but I also spend a bit of cash on good chocolate. By the way, did you know that the whole vanilla pod is edible? You can grind up dried vanilla pods and add the powder to ice cream, batter, and dough instead of vanilla extract. I use a little electric coffee grinder for grinding my vanilla and whole spices. A small investment up front, but it saves money over time and produces wonderful fresh-ground flavor.
Wow, that's cool, Nancy. I didn't know that about vanilla pods.
Good cocoa powder. I use Valrhona which I get for $12.00/lb…and that's the cheap price! But it makes SUCH a difference in baking, I would never go back to Hershey's. I also pay lots for good chocolate.
I absolutely agree. I also use Valrhona cocoa and the flavor is unequaled.
Ciao ! For me it's chocolate and cocoa, But in these hot days I'm indulging in super delicious gelato from the best gelateria in Roma !
I'm jealous, good gelato in my small town in Utah is hard to find!
Cindy–I think I just saw them plug a new place probably in SLC on Studio 5 recently. You could check KSL.com/Studio 5 website. Probably just type in "gelato" on their search.
Good chocolate is very important as is good cheese. I just discovered gruyere cheese, my life has changed forever!
Gruyere is my favorite! I made a squash gratinee this week with tomatoes and onions with gruyere cheese and I might as well have been in heaven!
Sounds like a great combo–hope you blog about it!
I have fairly cheap tastes, so I guess my foodie splurge is "Whatever TWD calls for this week."
I'm with you Mike. I cook often with what I have on hand and try to keep it pretty simple. But when it comes to TWD, I'll get what I need and try to get the best. :)
good stinky cheese. And beer and whiskey if that counts!
I'll splurge on great chocolate, cocoa powder and vanilla. I also get a local flour and dairy.
But if I had to narrow it to one. I'd say I most often splurge on great chocolate. It's like $8 for 2 oz.
