The Short Board
.... 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 because the older surfers
wouldn’t convert, it caused a serious generation gap. There ended being
many confrontations when paddling for waves and many disputes between
witch board was better.
From the pintail, to the diamond, then to the rounded diamond, to
the square tail with knife edges, more surfers became used to the shor .....

To Err And To Be Careful
.... 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 the will is infinite the intellect on
the other hand is finite and thus when the individual errs he/she allows
the infinite will to overstep the finite intellect; "... the scope of the
will is wider than that of the intellect..." Because the individual is not
omniscient but still chooses to dabble in those fields he/she knows .....

Women In Weight Training
.... 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 with the most common disease like Osteoporosis and
Coronary heart disease, due to lack of exercise. Osteoporosis is describe
as a disorder in which calcium is lost in the bones. An individual may lose

Record Holders
.... 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 occasion and brought
a sport that was slowly dying back on the map. Records like these are what
makes sports so much fun and interesting to watch and follow.
The greatest baseball record isn’t Mark McGwire’s 70 homers, but
the incredible hitting streak held by Jo .....

How To Produce A High School Newspaper
.... 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 during every issue to produce a
newspaper. This stressful position required good leadership skills, people
skills, and production skills since the other staff members depended on me,
the editor-in-chief, to direct them. The advisor is usually a teacher who
doesn’t actual run the class, but advises the editor-in-chief when needed. .....

Operation And Maintenance Of A Fire Extinguisher
.... 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.
1. Remove the extinguisher from its box or shipping container.
Open up the set of directions enclosed and study the illustrated
diagram that is always incorporated. Knowing the operating parts
will help, not only during operation, but also during inspection
for obvious damage, dents, broken or missing parts.

towing, and is priced reasonably.
A sport/utility vehicle is used for traveling through woods or
muddy fields, driving up steep mountains, hauling boats, or even other cars.
SUVs are also used to haul the family around and go to romantic dinners.
The interior of the SUV must be spacious enough to fit large packages after
a long day of shopping, half of a children’s soccer team, and fishing or
camping gear. The SUV’s seats must be extra comfortable and cushioned for
any off road journeys or bumpy mountain sides. The interior should also be
equipped with cup holders and handy storage b .....

The Extraordinary Gift Known As Life

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
friend or family member, I won’t even have to wink an eye and they will be
there for me. These make life such a blessing.
One of the supremes that I treasure in life is my education. I
grasp onto it and I don’t let anyone or anything stop me of achieving the

Caveat Emptor Of The Love Canal
.... 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 back on the market. Sure, these
houses are going for a significantly lower price than most homes in the
New York area, but they are built on top of a huge cap that contains
thousands of different chemicals beneath it. People are putting a money in
front of their family and personal health. People see a nice, quiet

How To Tp Someone’S Car (Without Getting Caught)
.... 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 should make sure the coast is clear and no people are around. They should then sneak quietly to the car or house. Then, they should begin wrapping the car or bushes excessively with the toilet paper. A TP-er should wrap a car from hood to trunk and driver’s side to passenger’s side. The car should not be visible when done. If .....
