Uniform revelations...

Ever notice something? By and large, main characters in animes series are mostly students, and to be exact, school students. This hackneyed portrayal is actually intentional since the target audience are mostly adolescents and young adults. These characters are displayed in variety fashions of school uniforms. Animes series such as, Bleach, Deathnote, Gokusen, The Law of Ueki, and Blood+ portray school students as their protagonists.

On the other hand, animes like, Kamichu, K-ON, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, and Ouran High School Host Club have different intention. These animes are promoting some sort of cuteness-fetish known as moe (mo-eh). To add, moe doesn't exhibit sexual content. It is actually highlighting on a character's cuteness, extreme cuteness to be exact. However, too much exertion on cuteness sometimes can lead to lewd content, or ecchi. To some extent it may lead to more than that...

Anyway, in this post I am not going to discuss on that matter. I just want to show everybody the multitude of fashions and styles in anime school uniforms.

This is the uniform in SUZUMIYA HARUHI NO YUUTSU... I really like the male uniform. Kyon and Koizumi look dashing in it! Whereas the girls' are a bit 'traditional in their sailor-fuku uniform. Maybe if the male students are to wear gakuran, then everything would be nicer. Somehow, the male student's uniform and the girl's don't really match...

This is taken from OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB. Their uniform basically oozes with sophistication and grace. This is because they are from a top-notched school. Since the main characters are mostly male, so the series reveals more on the male students uniform. And since the theme of this anime series is gender-bender, thus Haruhi (Fujioka, that is) wears one. (Well, actually female uniform is actually a Victorian-styled yellow dress with a pair of puffy sleeves.)

This is taken from anime K-ON!. Their uniform exudes elegance as well as charm at the same time. Since this is an all-girl school, thus there is no male uniform. If you notice, among the four of them, only Yui wears her uniform with a pair of dark tights underneath. I think she looks so adorable in them...

This is taken from GAKUAN ALICE. The uniforms are a bit juvenile and this is because these characters are actually elementary-school students. I really like the combination of the dark sailor-coat with wide collars as well the plaid skirt / shorts. The combination brings out the endearing side of each character. Even Natsume looks extremely cute in it despite his riotous temperament.

This the uniform from anime CODE GEASS. Since the series is set in an alternate fantasy world hence the uniforms have the fantasy feel. Anyway, they still look elegant and neat. However, I don't think they are comfortable enough.... I believe wearing a double-breasted blazer is definitely uncomfortable during lessons.

This is taken from ITAZURA NA KISS. I like both of female and male uniforms style. This is because the style complement each other. Both are modern, nifty as well as sharp. I think, this is important because it represents the individuals. For example, even a bumbling idiot like Kotoko looks smart in the uniform! This is certainly the best example of clothes maketh the man (or in this case, it's a woman!).

This screenshot is taken from anime LOVELY COMPLEX. In my opinion, the uniform looks simple and light. Instead of wearing blazer or button-down coat, they use cardigans or sweaters. Maybe it is to complement the whole theme of this romantic-comedy anime series. In this series we can see that the uniform is styled according to the individual's taste in fashion.

Well, actually there are so many anime uniforms that I like to show in this post. Frankly speaking the number is endless! Till then, we just have to settle with these...

One is all, all is one: synopsis and review

In this post, I will be reviewing FMA: Brotherhood's 12th episode: One is all, all is one. In this episode, we will be looking into Ed and Al's past. The most interesting part is, we will also be introduced to their alchemist master.

[Screen shots: click for larger view]

In episode 11 Ed, Al and Winry went to Rush Valley. Winry decided to stay there because she wanted to improve her skill in creating auto mails. The boys continued their journey to Dublith. When they arrived at Dublith the brother went straight to see their master who apparently a woman by the name Izumi Curtis. She was married to a butcher Sig Curtis.... Apparently she was one heck of a woman!

Then they started discussing about the Philosopher's Stone. Izumi revealed that she knew there was a person who knew a lot about the Philospher's Stone and that man's name was Hohenheim. To Ed and Al disbelief, that particular man was their cold-hearted father, who had abandoned them since they were kids. According to Ed, he was the cause of their mother's demise...

A short-lived happiness...

The cold look of a remorseless father, Hohenheim...

Then, at night the brothers began to reminisce the past, when they first met Izumi.... It was during a flood. Izumi saved a village by using her alchemy. She built a barricade to prevent the water from overflowing into the village...

A true wonder woman!

After watching Izumi's ability, Ed and Al decided to become Izumi's protege. Initially, Izumi refused them but after knowing that the boys were orphan, she began to melt thus accepted them as her protege...

But, with one condition. They have to endure a survival test...

[Screen shots: click for larger view]

They brothers finally managed to endure the test and after that their training as alchemists began...

Back to the present time, Izumi noticed something was amiss. She felt that there were things that the boys were trying to hide from her. She then, sparred with the brothers and she discovered that Ed had auto auto mail for his right hand and Al was actually an empty armour. Then, all secrets were finally revealed!

It so happened that, like Ed, Izumi once committed the taboo as well. She tried to transmute a human being after her baby died during birth... Apparently she also had gone through a similar painful experience that Ed had gone through when Ed tried to transmute his mother. And like Ed, she also had to face the side effects as well. In alchemy, equivalent exchange is the fundamental principle, hence in order to compensate the exchange in human transmutation, some of her organs were taken. Because of that, it disrupted her health.

Izumi had seen the truth too...

Why do I like about this episode? It is because in this episode Ed and Al's past is revealed. In this episode too, we will witness how the boys had to undergo so many challenges and predicaments in order to be a full-fledged alchemists. Furthermore, we are finally introduced to Hohenheim... who actually their father. Later in the series we will be exposed to the connection between him and the humonculi as well as the organization that manipulated the military.

Also, we are revealed to boys' master whom I thought was a man. In fact I believe there are many people would share my opinion. It's a shocker! What's more, she is extremely skilled as well as strong. In addition, we learn that, other than Ed, Izumi Curtis had also conducted the big NO-NO human transmutation and she had to pay the price too... And because of the similar experience, she empathized the boys and felt connected with boys and hence the hug...

This is so heart-wrenching.... sob...

Lazarus of Soul Society...

BLEACH episode 224, is certainly a shocker when Hinamori Momo suddenly appeared out of nowhere! She was in time to save Matsumoto Rangiku from Apache's lethal attack.

In order to save Rangiku, she 'masked' her reiatsu from being detected by the three fraccions... And then she launched a fire ball using her zanpaku-tou Tobiume....

Apache, one of three Halibel's fraccion...

Eat this you arrancar bitch!

Have no fear! Hinamori is here!

Look can really be deceiving! This is the face of 5th Division's Fuku-taichou...

Don't worry Rangiku, I'll be by your side...

She is also master ni Kidou... she can mix more than 2 kidous at the same time!

Those who are not really familiar with her is forgiven because she had disappeared from Bleach airtime for quite sometime.

The last time she appeared was during the Arrancar Arc. During that arc, she was seen talking with Hitsugaya through a video monitor. She wholeheartedly believed that Ichimaru Gin was the one who manipulated Aizen and that Aizen really was innocent. Then, realizing the grave situation, she was quickly made unconscious by Yamamoto and his lieutenant Choujirou Sasakibe. From the short conversation it was proven that Hinamori had not gotten over Aizen yet.

In this episode she suddenly appeared to aid the guild fighting the Espadas at the fake Karakura Town... She declared her self as Aizen-taichou's enemy without realizing the mentioning of the word 'taichou'. This means she still has hope that Aizen will someday repent and come back to soul society....

So, for in-depth analysis of her character, check this LINK.

Moe, moe kyun!

During my free time, usually, I like to surf the net and read other anime blogs for some insights and suggestions on what anime should I watch. Recently, I came across an anime entitled K-ON! I noticed that there are several ani-blogs that are avidly writing reviews on this anime.

Somehow, that got me rather curious. Then, I went to realityLapse.com [click HERE] and I noticed that there is an anime of that title under 'K' category. I click the link and I started downloading first two of the series. At the beginning, I only watched the two episodes, just to test the water. Well... after I finished it, I believe the anime is worth watching. However, imho, I don't think it is THAT addictive. It doesn't fall under must-watch category. But then again, I might be wrong. Maybe I need to watch more episodes before I jump into any conclusion.

Initially, I wondered what K-ON really means. After watching the first episode I learned that K-ON is actually an abbreviated form of a Japanese word keiongaku which means light music. BTW, this anime is about 4 girls in a light music club. Since they are in the club they decided to establish a band.

These are the screen shots taken from Episode 1....

This is Yui. She is ditsy and clumsy... but she is so incredibly kawaii!

Nodaka-chan is surprised because after two weeks in school Yui is still undecided on which club to join...

This is Mio the basist. She is so kawaii... and very talented too... And I think she has issue with... almost everything. A weird character, I reckon.

Ritsu (or Ricchan, according to Yui) the drummer... The most boisterous among the lot.

And this is Tsumugi or Mugi the keyboard player... She is the 'princess' of the band...

Hanging out...

Finally Yui decided to join the band... even though she doesn't really know how to play a guitar...

The anime is so kawaii and it's loaded with moe characters....

Separate Paths: A Review

In this post I will be reviewing FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD episode 10: Separate Paths. This episode is about the untimely demise of Lt. Colonel Maes Hughes...

[Screenshots: click to enlarge]

In this episode we will witness the demise of one of the important characters in this series. Sadly enough, his death is caused by his own realization of the truth. Truly, ignorance IS bliss! In this episode, Hughes eventually realized the military conspiracy behind the establishment of Lab 5 and the creation of Philosopher's Stone and how they were connected to the battle of Ishval. As revealed in episode 8, Philosopher's Stone can only be manufactured by using human souls and during the battle of Ishval (or Ishbal) thousands of Ishvalans were killed as a result of ethnic cleansing executed by the military.

However, upon knowing the truth he was visited by one of the humonculi, named Lust. He was stabbed at the shoulder however he managed to give a good fight. With his bleeding shoulder he walked out from the building. And when he tried to call Colonel Roy Mustang and warned him about this, he was slaughtered by another shape-shifting humonculous named Envy who was disguising himself as Lt. Maria Ross.

Then, after the funeral, there was an investigation went on at the murder scene. Towards the end of the investigation, Major Armstrong came to see him regarding on what he knew about the murder. He spoke in code regarding the matter because earlier in this episode, Führer-President King Bradley visited Elric brothers and he had ordered everybody including Armstrong to keep anything they discovered under the radar. However, Col. Mustang understood that it had something to do with an organization and the philosopher's stone when Armstrong said, quote-unquote...
"what THEY are looking for is almost LEGENDARY".
Mustang also knew that someone with high rank in military had ordered Armstrong to keep his mouth shut. So, from the conversation it is revealed that an organization that has its power in the military and the philosopher's stone is involved in the murder of Lt. Col. Hughes.

My two cents...

In my opinion, this episode is very unexpected as well as heart wrenching. I never thought that Hughes will be killed off in this episode and then, BAM!... it hit me. Regarding his demise, I guess I didn't see that coming. Maybe if I read the manga first, this would not be a surprise at all. But then again that is THE reason why I restrain myself from reading it. I want it to be a surprise...

[Screenshots: click to enlarge]

Moreover, I really cried during the funeral when Hughes' little daughter, Elicia, cried and asked her mother, Gracia, why was her father buried. And then, she kept on crying saying how could her father go to work if he was buried. And Gracia was hugging Elicia tightly in order to console her. That, imho, is an ultimate tear-jerker moment.

Also, I always thought that Maes Hughes is a major character in this series.... I wish he did not die or at least he should be given enough screen time to last up to 25th episode (as in the previous version of Fullmetal Alchemist). Well, I think his death is really important in the development of the plot. Because, based on the manga, the plot will be significantly developed after his death.

Lt. Col. Maes Hughes, may your soul be blessed, Amen...

Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody : Synopsis and Review

In this post, I'll be reviewing SUZUMIYA HARUHI NO YUUTSU 2 episode 1: Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody.

[Screenshots: click for larger view]

Plot summary:

The episode opens with Haruhi mentioning about Tanabata day to Kyon. Then she explained the importance of Tanabata celebration in Japanese culture. Hence she decided that SOS Brigade should throw a party just to celebrate the meeting of two stars Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair).

Then, during their daily meeting at the club room, Haruhi entered with a stalk of bamboo in her hand and several wishing cards in the other. She insisted everybody to write their wishes for the future and then hanged them among the bamboo leaves. Then using theory of relativity (yup, you read me right!), she explained in detail that the wishes could only reach Vega and Altair within 16 to 25 years and therefor everybody must NOT write wishes that would take place less than 16 years in the future.

After everybody wrote on the wish cards and hanged them among the bamboo leaves, Haruhi suddenly became melancholic and dejected. Then Mikuru secretly slipped a note to Kyon asking him to meet her in the club room right after everybody went home. Then Nagato also slipped a secret note to Kyon. Eventually, after everybody went home, Mikuru explained that she wished to take Kyon 3 years back. Back where he first met with Haruhi. When Kyon agreed, suddenly he fell asleep.

When Kyon opened his eyes, he was sleeping on Mikuru's lap and they were at a park exactly three years ago. Then, out of the blue, Mikuru suddenly fell asleep. Apparently, the time-divergent (adult) variant Mikuru was trying to communicate with Kyon on what to expect. She instructed him to go to the nearby field.

Next, with Mikuru on his back, Kyon walked to the nearby field and then he saw the young Haruhi climbing the gate to the field. When she saw Kyon walking, she immediately urged him into helping her. Haruhi couldn't identify Kyon's face since it was night time and it was dark. Next, she made Kyon drew something on the field exactly like she ordered using some chalk she had prepared before hand. While drawing the strange sign Kyon realized that a message in a weird language. It was actually the message that Taniguchi once told him about. And what's so interesting was, it was written by himself.

After he finished the task, Kyon and Haruhi had a conversation about alien, sliders, time travelers and espers. To Haruhi's surprise, Kyon believed her and told her that he knew someone who believed in those stuffs back in his high school. In addition, he introduced himself as John Smith and Mikuru was her narcoleptic sister. Then, Haruhi left without even thanking him. To Kyon's surprise, this was the exact moment that triggered Haruhi to choose North High where she would later in the future.

After that, he woke Mikuru up and she was in panic when she realised that she had lost her TPDD. TPDD was actually the device that helped her to travel through time. At that moment, Kyon recalled that the secret note given by Nagato. Turned out, the note was the strange message that he drew on the field. That note actually led them to meet Nagato, the present variant, who was in stand-by mode for three-year long.

After explaining the predicament, Nagato led them to a room and asked them to sleep on seperate tatami. Both of them slept but only for less that 30 seconds. Nagato had actually manipulated time and space continuum. She helped them to return to the present time by freezing the time inside the room. Mikuru realised this when she checked her atomic-clock wrist watch and apparently, they had returned to their own period.

After what he had gone through, playing chess could really ease off the nerve...

The Verdict.

After 3 years hiatus, despite of many negative feed backs, I believe this first episode has justified the wait. I like it because it answers some of the weird things done by Haruhi in season 1. Maybe not all. But it does answer several questions, like:
  • What or who actually influenced Haruhi to choose the high school? (It was Kyon, of course! After their short conversation at the field.)
  • Why did she say, she was only interested in meeting aliens, time travelers as well as aliens and people who have the same interest as her? (Because, Kyon told her that the school was swarmed with that kind of people. And he mentioned that he knew a person who has the same interest.)
  • Why did she ask Kyon: 'have we met before?' when they had their early conversation in class. (Of course they had met before! However, it was dark and she could recognise his face, though.)
  • Next, this episode reveals to us on who is the real 'culprit' who wrote the strange sign on the field as mentioned by Taniguchi in Season 1.

Too bad, the next episode will only be aired on 18th June. Maji de?! I really can't wait that long for it. Sheesh!

In this episode as well, we can see that Haruhi is a very intelligent student when she utilises theory of relativity in explaining her idea about the speed that the wishes will take to reach Vega and Altair.

Other than that, I would like to comment is the ED theme. It seems that it doesn't have the similar impact like the first season Hare Hare Dance... However, I do enjoyed the montage. It is very dazzling and it complements the whole theme mood of the series. The graphics are so fluid and realistic.

For the first episode, sadly enough, there is no OP theme. Well, it looks like we have to wait for it in the next episode. I hope it would be a blast! At least something catchy....

Haruhi's wishes are, the world will rotate in the opposite direction and the world will revolve around her.

Of rebellion and justice...

To all HITSUGAYA TOUSHIRO fans out there, let's rejoice! The time has finally come. This time around our adored Hitsugaya-taichou will have his glorious moment in 2nd BLEACH movie entitled THE DIAMONDDUST REBELLION (a.k.a The Other Hyourin maru) .In this installment of Bleach movie Hitsugaya will be given so much airtime that will leave his fan inebriated with contentment. In fact, this installment of Bleach movie gives you everything you’ve come to anticipate from one of the best Shonnen Jump mangas in the world.

Nonetheless, I’m not exactly sure the exact time-line of this movie. I am a tad confused whether this movie takes place in between the Arrancar Arc or Amagai-taichou Arc. This is left for you to make your own assumption. Then again, that is not really significant since it doesn't affect the whole plot of the movie. In fact, I am 101% sure that the fans are constantly at edge of their seats watching this awe-inspiring movie!

To the fans of visual art, you will be mesmerized by the dazzling display of colors. This movie consolidates detailed emotional actions with comprehensive characteristics that are sometimes ignored in full length features. In my honest opinion, the animation and the graphics of this movie are absolutely breathtaking. The sound effects and the musical element are crystal clear. Noriyuki Abe really put his effort at great length in demonstrating the extremity of emotion and feeling of battle and honor which are the integral part of Bleach serialization. What's more, I become more emotionally invested as the plot progresses. Michiko Yokote and Masahiro Ōkubo wrote an in-depth and detailed plot line that is not cut up and flows very well. Bleach fans and non-fans alike will enjoy the nifty and splendid themes.

[Click to enlarge]

The scene opens as Hitsugaya-Taichou and his vice captain, Matsumoto Rangiku, are escorting an over-the-top procession (that is similar to Jidai Matsuri) of an important and sacred artifact called the “King’s Seal” across the real world when suddenly they are waylaid and attacked by a masked shinigami and two visoreds (or arrancars). Apparently, these two visoreds / arrancars are merely henchmen of a masked shinigami. Hitsugaya meets head-on the masked shinigami. However he is critically wounded by the shinigami’s zanpaku-tou. At that moment, Hitsugaya believes that he is a deceased friend from his early days named Kusaka Soujiro. Kusaka, however, manages to escape and without much ado, Hitsugaya chases after him in order to retrieve King’s Seal from Kusaka.

Because of his sudden action, he is thought to be in-cahoots with Kusaka in the whole debauchery. As a result, the entire 10th division is placed under arrest and Hitsugaya action is declared treason by Yamamoto Genryusai Shegekuni, the so-taichou. It is Ichigo who finds him and seeks answers to the strange behavior that Hitsugaya is showing.

Meanwhile, the entire Soul Society is in ultimate upheaval. Kusaka is revealed to be the scheming and devious shinigami who has stolen the King’s Seal and has plotted a dangerous scheme to not only Hitsugaya but the entire Soul Society in general. Why did Kusaka steal the King's Seal in the first place? Will he be able to execute his evil scheme? Will Hitsugaya manage to explain his action in time? And most importantly, who is actually Kusaka Soujiro?

The Verdict

In the final analysis, I would love to recommend this movie to all and especially if you are Hitsugaya Toushiro fans. It is filled with action-packed scene from the start till the end. In fact this is far much better than the first Bleach movie, Memory of Nobody ... The DiamondDust Rebellion rocks, bigtime!

When love and hate collide...

Recently, I just finished watching ITAZURA NA KISS (trans: Playful Kiss). Frankly speaking, I was hoping that this anime would be as interesting as some of the romantic-comedy animes that I have watched before. Then after watching half-way through of 25 episodes, I decided to call it a quit. I got so bored. However, I managed to finish all 25 episodes...

To begin with,I really enjoyed the earlier plot. I think it was rather comical, witty and romantic at the same time. I really fancy the portrayal of Aihara Kotoko. She is ditsy bumbling idiot and at the same time sweet, candid and sensitive. Then enters Irie Naoki a cold, arrogant and definitely indifferent boy. Nevertheless, he is the most popular student in school just because he is genius and very good looking. Well, he is the exact opposite of Kotoko. But then again, opposite attracts!

The story opens with Kotoko's rejection by Irie. In my opinion, she was rather courageous and confident when she tried to give him a love letter, a confession of her true feeling for him. Unfortunately, she was rejected coldly in front of so many students...

However, this did not dishearten her...

Then, Kotoko and her father were forced to move into Irie's family mansion because her house was damaged during a mild earthquake. It seems that Kotoko's father and Irie's father were best friends so Irie's father insisted them to move into their mansion...

Then it all began, the well-expected love-hate relationship between the two...

Let's cut to the chase, shall we!

Kiss me and shut up!

Well, one thing led to another, Irie and Kotoko got married. Irie worked as a doctor and Kotoko worked as a nurse. That's so lame! Anyway, I have to admit that the ending is rather sweet and definitely has the 'awwww' effect. They finally have a daughter, Kotomi, who has Kotoko's cuteness and charm as well as Irie's wit.

A picture perfect!

So much I hate to admit it, the reason why I don't quite fancy this anime is because the plot doesn't seem 'normal'. I thought it is forced and unnatural. Plus, they don't look aged at all. Considering that the marriage has reached its 8th year. Plus, I believe, in order to make a story interesting, the protagonist should undergo a serious conflict. And it seems that the conflicts in this series are too simple and not so profound. In my humble opinion, I think the creator should focus on more serious conflicts that can really test their love.

FYI, my interest of this anime stops after episode 14 when Irie, after much deliberation and obvious denial, confessed his love for Kotoko. He said, and quote unquote:
"You love ME. You won't be able to love anyone else!"
At that exact moment, my heart skipped a beat....LOL. However after episode 14, my interest suddenly heads south. Somehow the idea of marriage in shoujo anime doesn't appeal to me. Maybe, the episode should stop there and let the audience imaginations run free, or rather, run wild...

Another reason for my dislike of this series is, imh, the animation as well as the graphic of this anime are not good enough. The facial expressions are not so realistic and not well-drawn. Sometimes, the looks on the characters' face can be quite weird. Well, that's my love-hate relationship with this series. My two cents!

Anyway, I would like to recommend this series to all since it is clean from any profanity as well as nudity. Check out this LINK for the episodes download. Have fun!

There is also a Taiwanese and Japanese live-action drama based on this anime / manga... I wonder if the share similar plot...

The wait is OVER!!!

OMG! Guess what peeps?! After 3 years break, SUZUMIYA HARUHI NO YUUTSU 2 is finally aired! I am so darn thrilled and I can't wait to watch the first episode and to be entertained by Haruhi and her merry friends in action! ... In fact I am even hyperventilating while typing this post.

I bet this season is much more adventurous and mind-boggling. And absolutely, much, much more mysterious...

The 1st season itself has made a tremendous breakthrough in the world of anime. The best part of this anime is the quirky characters as well as the far-fetched imagination of Haruhi-sama.

BTW, if you are wondering where can you download this episode, check this LINK for the torrent!

In the first episode, apparently, Kyon goes back to three years back. Back when he first 'met' Haruhi... And this is where it all begins. Some questions and enigmas in season 1 will be answered in this season!

It is speculated that Mikuru Asahina is Kyon's sister. Really?!

Road Trip! Use These Simple SUP Race Travel

I arrived in Germany yesterday to compete in the Lost Mills SUP race for the fourth year in a row. One of my favorite things about SUP racing are the opportunities it has given me to travel throughout the United States and around the world. Summer is usually a time that SUP racers pack their boards and hit the road to travel to SUP races. Whether driving an hour to a neighboring city or hopping on an international flight, poor traveling skills can erase the benefits of dedicated SUP training. Prepare yourself for success by traveling smart and following the SUP race travel tips below.

2014 Lost Mills SUP race in Germany

2014 Lost Mills SUP race in Germany

1. Prepare Early

Not many things will hinder your SUP racing performance as much as stress. Book your hotel, rental car and plane tickets as early as possible. Register for the race, plan your nutrition and formulate a SUP race strategy. Take care of all the little details that can be done beforehand. Early preparation will allow you to focus completely on your SUP race performance. Choose a hotel as close to the event site as possible to avoid the stress of sitting in traffic the morning of your race.

2. Pack Smart

It’s better to pack too much than not enough. All of the comforts you have at home during your SUP training should be with you when you travel. Important SUP training racing necessities include pre-race breakfast foods, foam roller, hydration pack, nutrition mixes, GPS, PFD and leash. These items should be the first things that go into your travel bag.

Eating a bowl of sugary cereal before your race is sure to slow you down. It’s a good idea to pack a few days worth of dry food if you have a sensitive stomach or are traveling to a city that does not have the nutrition you need to fuel top performance. Energy bars with low sugar and protein powder can go along way in preventing a desperate trip to McDonald’s while on the road.

3. Organize Equipment

Your board and paddle are obviously two necessities for stand up paddle racing. If you are traveling by plane domestically then I highly recommend shipping your board by ground prior to the event. There are a variety of freight carriers that will ship a 14’ foot board across the United States for under $200. Pack your board in a box, add extra padding and rest assured it will be waiting for you when you arrive to your SUP race.

Flying with a board is possible but it is a bit like playing Russian roulette. Depending on your check-in agent you may not even get your board on the plane. If you get it though check-in you will have to test your luck as the baggage handlers deal with the geometry of fitting your board through the planes’ cargo doors. With a little patience its not a problem to get boards into the luggage storage. However, finesse, caution and patience are some of the least common baggage handler qualities. Unless you are a sponsored paddler I recommend renting a board from a local shop near the event or shipping it beforehand. Of course traveling with an inflatable SUP is always an option too!

Flying with a paddle is as simple as adding another checked bag. To avoid excess baggage fees, pack a carry-on and use your paddle bag for extra storage space if needed. Paddles also have a tendency to get damaged by impatient baggage handlers so consider a custom hard case for extra protection.
Be sure to double check the strength and integrity of your car racks before driving to your SUP race. I like to add a safety line over the boards and through the car when driving on highways. Flying stand up paddle race boards are not good, especially for the cars behind you!

4. Stay Healthy

Airplanes are sometimes called germ tubes for a reason. Traveling for hours packed shoulder to shoulder like sardines has a tendency to spread germs. Load up on vitamin C and the herbal supplement Echinacea to help boost your immune system before travel. Wipe down your seat belt and chair with disinfectant wipes and wash your hands often. You might look like a paranoid germaphobe but it’s much better than trying to race with the flu!

5. Stretch Your Legs

Sitting for an extended period of time creates poor circulation and can fatigue your muscles. Try to get up and move at least every hour during travel. A few yoga poses like downward and upward dog may get funny looks from your fellow travelers on the plane but they are sure to keep the blood flowing and mitigate muscle fatigue. Hydration is also very important in preventing fatigue and decreasing the symptoms of jet lag.

6. Adjust Your Body

Exploring a new SUP racing destination is a fun and exciting reason to travel. New climates and time zones will create different challenges on race day. Melatonin supplements are a great way to naturally help your body adjust to a different time zone. Prepare for the conditions you will be racing in with proper clothing and local knowledge. Racing in hot and humid conditions can be extremely challenging if you are coming from a dryer climate. There are not too many ways to prepare for different climates other than arriving a few days early, using appropriate nutrition and mentally preparing for the adverse conditions.

7. Form A SUP Race Strategy

Racing in unfamiliar water can be a challenge. Study the SUP race course maps before traveling to your event. Form a SUP race strategy and use race specific preparation during your SUP training leading up to the event. If you are traveling to a race that has rough conditions make sure your SUP training sessions are not all in flat water.

8. Hit The Road!

One of the best aspects about SUP racing is the community of paddlers involved in the sport. Driving to a neighboring state or flying to another continent for a SUP race is fun and exciting. SUP racing is the perfect excuse to explore new waterways and make new friends both locally and around the world. Grab your board and paddle and hit the road this summer!

How To Sincerely Accept My Cheating Spouse

I want to learn how to sincerely accept my cheating spouse and then survive the affair together.

This is an extremely difficult AND painful situation for any spouse to accept in their marriage.

Because when you accept someone who has hurt you it means that you must be able
to separate them from their
error actions and seeing their good points too, and that is what
the cheated on spouse will
need to do and keep on doing in order:

  • To survive the affair
  • AND save the marriage

Actually, in these circumstances,  “accepting” is even more important than “forgiving”.

The cheated partner in the marriage must focus on all the good things that they love
about their cheating spouse in spite of the hurt and betrayal unleashed by the affair.

It has been said that you can “hate the sin, but  still love the sinner!”

To sin means to make a mistake and that is what an adulterous affair is, unless of
course your cheating spouse has become a serial cheater and demonstrates that they
no longer respect and value your relationship and life you are building together.

Discover How To:

  • Accept a cheating spouse
  • Survive an affair
  • Save your marriage
  • And stay together

Survive an Affair FREE course
Click here and learn how to survive an affair (FREE course from Dr. Frank Gunzburg)

Once you have made that decision, then you and  your cheating spouse can then agree
on whether you will work this out on your own, get professional help or use a
combination of both those strategies.

Learning to accept a cheating spouse and surviving an affair will be exhausting.
It is painful
work and sometimes you will feel like just giving up and starting fresh
with a new partner.

But, I caution you to remember that having an affair does not have to end your marriage
if both partners still love, value and respect each other.

Accepting a cheating spouse does not mean that you condone their betrayal of you and
your marriage and it certainly does not mean that you accept blame or even their
rational for having the affair.

At this point in the healing process, it simply means that you are willing to see a happily
ever after future together again.

Get Immediate Help Right Now and Survive The Affair

Click here now for a video to save a burnout marriage

Of course, just because you have accepted your cheating spouse and want
to save your marriage does not mean you wont have some trust issues.
Learning to overcome your battered faith in your spouse will take some
effort and the following article by MarriageSherpa .com does an excellent
job of showing you how to re-build your trust in your cheating mate…

Homeschool Conferences:

If you are looking for a fun and dramatic speaker, I would enjoy speaking at your event! I love speaking at homeschool conferences, and I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from my workshops. I sometimes wear historical costumes, and people say I have a sense of humor. I pack a lot of practical information into every fast-paced workshop. Most of my workshops have powerpoint presentations with lots of pictures that re-enforce the topics that I'm covering. I provide my own powerpoint projector, so all I need is an electrical socket and a blank wall or screen. I specialize in hands-on learning and creative writing, and I have been a public speaker for over 7 years. Here is a list of popular workshops I've done at other conferences that you can choose from. You can click on the links to see their descriptions and endorsements:

I live in Spokane, Washington, so the flight cost for my husband and I would need to be covered, as well as accommodation and transportation from the airport to the accommodation to the conference. A vendor table with electricity is necessary. Normally I'm paid $100 per workshop on top of that. If your funds are tight, this last amount is negotiable. I do a maximum of 4 workshops per conference so that I have a chance to interact with people in the vendor hall.

 “Great ideas... You have a tremendous gift of creativity and teaching.”

“Very enthusiastic and energetic!”

“Love how real she is.”

"Amazing! I will be in her next workshop, too!"

"So motivating. Loved it!"

Past Speaking Engagements:

  • "Peace in the Storm" Women's Event, Spokane, WA - 8/2017
  • "Connecting with God: The Power of Prayer" Spokane, WA - 3/2016
  • "Arizona Families for Home Education" Phoenix, AZ - 7/2015
  • "Washington Homeschool Organization" Puyallup, WA - 6/2015
  • "Christian Family Home Educators" Spokane, WA - 3/2015
  • "Women's Prayer Retreat" Spokane, WA - 8/2014
  • "Christian Family Home Educators" Spokane, WA - 3/2014
  • "Washington Homeschool Organization" Puyallup, WA - 6/2013
  • "Christian Family Home Educators" Spokane, WA - 4/2013
  • "Washington Homeschool Organization" Puyallup, WA - 6/2012
  • "Christian Family Home Educators" Spokane, WA - 5/2012
  • "Early Childhood Conference" Spokane, WA - 3/2012
  • "OCEAN Conference" Portland, Oregon - 6/2011
  • "Early Childhood Conference" Spokane, WA - 3/2011
  • "Inland Northwest Homeschool Conference" Spokane, WA - 3/2011
  • "Inland Northwest Homeschool Conference" Spokane, WA - 3/2010

Women's Retreats and Conferences:

I also speak at women's retreats and conferences about the topic of prayer. If your women's group is interested in booking me, you can see a list of workshops in the audio section of my prayer page. I can also create new workshops that address the needs of your group, related to the topic of prayer.

Here is an introduction:

Do you desire a deeper prayer life, where you know you are connecting to God? Is it possible to find God's heart, align your will to God's will, and see dynamic answers to your prayers? Susan Evans will share her personal story of how God taught her how to pray. You will be surprised at how fresh and simple it is to pray this way!

Susan Evans has a heart to teach women how to yield their lives to Christ wholeheartedly. She grew up as a missionary kid in Guatemala and has written a book about it. She is currently working on her next book, Becoming a Prayer Warrior: A Personal Journey. She enjoys speaking at conferences, showing women how to draw closer to God by making their faith real.

"Thank you for your wonderful talk on prayer. We have had many good reports of how the ladies enjoyed it and I'm sure they have been encouraged to learn more and to do more. God bless." - Patti Mattfeld, women's ministry coordinator

"I have been to many brunches and teas, but I want you to know that your message was so inspirational and moving. I loved your honesty and enthusiasm! Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us." - attendee of prayer brunch

Booking details: I can be flown to the women's retreat, and accommodation, transportation, and food will need to be provided by the retreat. If your finances are tight, the speaker fee is negotiable. I feel so strongly about women being transformed in the area of prayer that the joy of fulfilling my life's purpose gives me joy.

If you are interested in booking me to speak at an upcoming conference, contact me at castlesusan@gmail.com.

Day 240: Wood Trim

Day 240: Wood Trim, originally uploaded by susanvg.

I was driving in Ottawa to meet up with family for dinner when I spotted this house. Stopped at a light, I snatched my camera and took a picture. I like to live with clean lines and little in the way of frills and scallops. But I do enjoy looking at the architecture of another time.

It's interesting to me that for each of the arts, I pick and choose the eras that speak to me the most. I love to listen to and play baroque music, but find the architecture of that time too ornate. Baroque art, when based on religious themes, does not speak to me. I may appreciate the technique, but I am not moved. Yet Bach's cantatas reach into my core. I love art from the late 1800s and early 1900s - that period when artists went outdoors to try to capture the essence of nature, not just try to reproduce it exactly. I like some of the music from that time, but have little interest in more modern composers.

So as I photograph, I am often drawn to the architectural details of structures built in another era. Yet this is as an observer, I prefer to live in a building where my Danish furniture doesn't feel out of place.

  1. I like the frilly aspect of this architecture to photograph. However, it's a bit "fussy" for my actual taste in a home.

  2. That's a very interesting observation, Susan, that the styles of music and art don't resonate equally for you. Now that I think of it, I feel the same way. I wonder why?

Curio Confections

Curio Confections
Blackberry Cobbler, $5
Raspberry Pate de Fruit, 50 cents

The brand-new Curio Confections shop is a curious experience--bright and shiny and at the same time so old-fashioned you expect the chairs to creak. I clapped my hands like a trained seal when I spotted the trays of pate de fruit, jewel-like squares of intensely fruity gel rolled in sparkling sugar that are unaccountable hard to find in this country (or century?). There are also handmade versions of things most people have probably forgotten were ever made outside a factory: glassy lollipops, bars of Montelimar nougat, and slabs of fresh marshmallow in a number of flavors.

There is coffee, of course, and a case full of tempting baked goods. My friend Wendy and I shared a hot, oozy blackberry cobbler in which the pastry was nearly as moist and delectable as the fruit. Curio also has wine evenings and I've heard glowing reports on their Sunday brunch savories.

My Little Brother Now

This is how my little brother looks now after almost 7 months of going in and out of the hospital.
He lost lots of pounds and his hair are one by one falling apart..

We transferred him in one of the government hospital here in Philippines. My mama said, he is charge free on his stay on the hospital, doctors fee, and some medicines that are available. However, if there were no medicines available, my parents has to buy it outside drugstores. And if there's no money, my brother just took the pain by himself.

It happened most of the time because there were so many cancer children on the hospital. Some make beds outside the door. And the government has to be fair in each of them. I assumed the government funds are not enough to provide the expensive medicines each patients need.

Many says, almost everyday one cancer patient dies.. and almost everyday another new patient comes.

Nobody wants to get sick or have his loved ones on that situation. It breaks our hearts but we do not hold what tomorrow brings. A prayer for giving my little brother a normal life... a healthy life and then laugh and sing with us....... seems impossible.

Still we want to do and give what ever we can.

My faith faints slowly. Yet somehow I know, better things will come. I just now pray, that whatever happens, we may all dedicate to God lightly.

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • There is a debate about the advantages and disadvantages of using social media in education. Drawing on interviews and surveys with students and teachers in three Swedish schools, this study finds that studentsas well as teachers find much of the students' social media use distractive to learning. We investigate this by means of an interpretative study of students' and teachers' experiences. We find that concerns relate to how social media use makes students less social, how weaker students are more likely to get distracted, how teachers lack strategies for tackling the problem and how the responsibility of the use is delegated to the students. We discuss how the distractive use of social media is made possible as a result of education policies requiring a higher degree of individual work, individual responsibility, and educational choices forstudents. Teachers and school leaders need to jointly reclaim the students and coping strategies for the distractive use are urgently needed.

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This article discusses practices, opportunities, and challenges in local e-government project management by means of a case study involving interviews, document studies, and an element of action research, over eight months. The analysis against e-government success factors finds seven "critical issues"; political timing, resource allocation, political mandate, distinction between administrative and political responsibilities, coordination of departments, dependence on providers, and use of standards. We found these issues open for local choice, influences of strong individuals and groups, and chance. This is a consequence of the prevailing strategic model for the public sector, New Public Management, which leaves these issues to be filled by negotiations among many actors with different roles, goals, and action space. The general lesson is that there is a need for practical ways of acting strategically to reduce the risk level and increase the ability to implement policy.

  • Mobile technologies for development – a comparative study on challenges
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of Sig GlobDev Workshop Paris 2008. - Paris : AIS SIG GLobal Development. - 978-0-9826068-0-3
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This paper compares and analyzes three cases where mobile technology is developed and used for everyday learning in developing countries. Preliminary results from field studies and tests are presented and analyzed in terms of the technical, professional, social, cultural and organizational challenges involved in development. In Bangladesh Virtual Classroom SMS is used together with TV to make education interactive. The eduPhone project develops a system and a method for delivering everyday “situated education”, such as emergency medical advice, to people lacking access to such services. The Agricultural Market Information System project disseminates information to improve local agricultural markets and, in particular, supporting small farmers, by mobile phones. The paper reports the cases and findings from investigations and tests, including field studies, laboratory and field tests, and experiences from implementation. We find that technical challenges are not great and in most cases concern innovativeness of application rather than access, use and usability; e-readiness among people is higher than often reported. The main problems lie in organizational challenges – developing a sustainable business model and reorganizing processes consequently – and social and cultural challenges such as local power structures and professional traditions.

  • eParticipation galore? Extending multi-criteria decision analysis to the public
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Public Information Systems. - 1653-4360. ; 2, s. 79-99
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • New approaches and tools are required because of the increasing request for public participation and democratic decision making. There are two particular major challenges associated with this namely, applications allowing for large numbers of users and the balancing of participation and expertise. This article tests a method attempting to achieve this by combining a multi-criteria decision approach with different forms of discussion and deliberation. The method involves relaxed requirements for user exactness in statements of opinion and was tested on 90 students aged 17-19. Is it possible to extend multi-criteria decision analysis to the public? In order to answer this question, our research focuses on (1) scalability, or the potential for increased participation, as well as (2) decision quality, i.e. whether the alternatives are reflected upon and if there have been reasoned judgments. The test and survey found both these criteria met. The findings suggest that the method can be used for large scale participation during a decision making process, but also that a participatory process is improved by lengthier deliberation and more than one point of measurement so that opinions can stabilize.

  • Understanding students' learning practices : challenges for design and integration of mobile technology into distance education
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Learning, Media & Technology. - Routledge. - 1743-9884. ; 42:3, s. 357-377
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This study explores the design requirements for mobile applications for second language learning in online/distance higher education settings. We investigate how students use technology and how they perceive that these technologies-in-practice facilitate their language learning. Structuration Theory is used for the analysis. Results show that design needs to consider that (i) students use their private mobile technologies frequently when conducting self-initiated learning tasks, (ii) students’ mobile technologies-in-practice are important, and course designers should design materials and tools for such use practices, and (iii) students prefer to work on their own due to the limited time they want to devote to their learning. Consequently, in regard to the pervasive nature of mobile technology integration in society and into students’ habitual use, they need various software tools on such devices to support individual learning.

  • Public E-services in Sweden : old wine in new bottles?
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems. - 0905-0167. ; 17:2, s. Article 3
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This paper describes and analyses the political discourse regarding e-government (including terms earlier used) in Sweden in the period  rom the 1960s until today, drawing on a review of policy documents. It is found that even though both the meanings ascribed to computers, the political visions, and the main arguments have changed considerably over time, the major plans for action have always remained the same. While goals related to democracy, increased service level, and decentralisation have at different times been at the focus of the debate, increased internal efficiency has always been the target for actions.
