The Short Board
.... wave, it was then he knew he had found a brilliant idea. He teamed
up with a guy by the name of Steve Lis, and made the first short board
design in the US. They called it the “Fish.”
When the short board first started to become big, there was a big
rejection from many surfers. Most of the older surfers refused to convert
from the long board. This is because of all the extra paddling and
movement required for the short board. The newer younger surfers were
stoked on the idea of the short board, but be .....

To Err And To Be Careful
.... however mankind errs. Descartes attributes
this error to the fault of mankind not fully grasping our own faculties.
In his fourth meditation Descartes addresses the idea of error. To
the author error results from either one of two causes; one may err simply
because he/she has ignorance of the topic or one may err because of their
own carelessness. When dealing with ignorance Descartes suggests that this
type of error occurs when the will oversteps the intellect. In
clarification he explains that while .....

Women In Weight Training
.... is a women bench
pressing heavier weights than them. “That is a woman’s come back to all men’
s insults. Women don’t have to insult men, they could just put them to
shame by lifting heavier weights than them.”(69) This causes men to never
say another word to women again.
Many women believe that weight training is still a “men’s” sport.
That is why they don’t make an effort to keep themselves fit and in good
health. There are many older women between the ages of 45 to 64 years
old who are suffering .....

Record Holders
.... 90’s
have a different look than the players in the past. Today there are high-
tech weight rooms, and players use nutritional supplements. So why haven’t
they broke all these records? Is it because of the longer seasons or the
changing of the rules. Maybe they just aren’t as good, or as talented.
This applies to almost every record except, the homer record. In the 1998
season both Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris’s 37 year old
record for most homers in a season. They rose to the occasio .....

How To Produce A High School Newspaper
.... most important is the ability to manage and
organize a group of people within an allotted amount of time. Patience is
also crucial in order to understand and help other staff members. However,
when it’s completed, the satisfaction is its own reward.
Before understanding the entire newspaper production process, there are a
few key people whose duties rely heavily on it. The editor-in-chief is the
actual “big cheese” or “head honcho.” As the editor-in-chief, it was my
job to organize and lead the class dur .....

Operation And Maintenance Of A Fire Extinguisher
.... operation.of the basic
household fire extinguisher.
I have heard many stories during the years, about people, who with
the best interests at heart, purchase a small fire extinguisher. They take
this new gadget home with them. Remove it from its box, then throw away the
directions for proper use because they think they are above the need to
understand, what is perceived as a pull the pin, aim and shoot safety
device that a monkey could use. More times than not, this attitude will
kill the monkey.

Film Development
.... inconspicuous blemishes, as they give life and movement to your film.
I would only recommend the bucket method for Super 8mm, as 16mm is much
harder to work with in a bucket. It is thicker and will scratch more, and
needs more chemicals since you are working with double the amount of film.
What you need is: A bucket, a pair of gloves, and a dark room. The
dark room can be a bathroom with all the windows taped up. Light leaks in a
room can totally destroy film, giving it a foggy appearance, thus m .....

The Extraordinary Gift Known As Life

in my heart they will always be there for me. If I get discouraged, they
are there, all I have to do is request their love. Friendships seem to
light up the life. It can seem like a real fray when life throws reality
in people’s faces and the old, “work hard” in there as well. I recognize I
will have an abundence of ver confusing situations and controverices in
the years to come that I will not be able to handle. Whenever I need a

Caveat Emptor Of The Love Canal
.... the nineties, the EPA declared the area
habitable once again and allowed residents to move back to the Love Canal
under the new name of Black Creek Village. Why would these people move into
an area that was once so unsafe after the government did not even fully
test the site for human safety? The Love Canal was apparently unsafe at one
time and still could be. By allowing people to return to the Love Canal,
the government is allowing people to make a very unwise decision.
Houses in the Love Canal are now .....

How To Tp Someone’S Car (Without Getting Caught)
.... not always the route a person should take. Cheap toilet paper rips very easily, which makes wrapping a tree or car hard to do. Toilet paper with a greater ply number withstands wind and rain better. Greater plied paper also prevents ripping. If a person plans on using other supplies such as, Silly String or Saran Wrap, they should have this ready along with the toilet paper. The quality of toilet paper plays a major role in TP-ing.
The most important step is the technique. First, the TP-ers shoul .....

Utilitarian also state “a right action does not necessarily indicate a virtuous character.” Utilitarians are not looking at the other qualities that many make that person beautiful. They are only looking at the action that the person did wrong.What Mill tells us .....

The Jab

Here comes the hard part; you have to relax. Relaxation is necessary for faster and more powerful punches. In your stance extend your arm, nice and slow, rotating your thumb down, and then return it to the ready position. Do not let your elbows fly outwards .....
