Gran Canaria, Canary Islands (Thursday, May 12, 2011) – The Asp 3-Star Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior, Event nº3 of 7 on the Asp Europe Men’s Pro Junior Series ran through to complete Round Two with standout surfers Dimitri Ouvre (BRB) 19, and Tom Cloarec (FRA) 17, leading the remaining Top Seeds through stormy on-shore conditions in peaky 3-4ft waves at La Cicer.
Surfers competing at the Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior are out to claim the valuable ranking points on offer at this 3-Star rated event and place themselves in the race for the overall European Pro Junior title and the chance to compete in the Asp World Junior Series starting in Bali, Indonesia on October 3, 2011.
Ouvre, who won last week’s Somo Pro Junior, continued his run of form opening his account with a solid ride to control the heat. With minutes remaining Ouvre tore apart a peeling left wall with three critical snaps in the pocket to lock in an 8.57 out of 10, the highest single-wave score of the event.
“It is really hard out there today. There are some fun set waves but you have to wait for the good ones and sometimes it is difficult because you see so many waves coming through. You have to wait for the bigger ones to get the good scores but at the same time it is hard too.”
Ouvre’s surfing and his relaxed approach to competitive surfing has shown positive results so far this year and the current leader on the Asp European Men’s Pro Junior series looks set to put in a big performance on the Pro Junior rankings in 2011.
“I have no pressure on me and I want to take it heat after heat. It is ok if I lose but I want to win for sure another Pro Junior. I want to surf and I am feeling confident but not too much which is good.”
“This is a good place to make a contest,” explained Ouvre about La Cicer. “Sure there are waves in Canarias which are better but here is good for a contest because there are many waves and you are not going to lose because you can’t get any waves. You take your waves for sure and you are going to have your two scores.”
Tom Cloarec (FRA) 17, ignited in his early morning heat as he destroyed a long left with fully committed fins-free forehand snaps to claim an 8.43 out of 10. Cloarec showed loads of speed and flow to highlight his performance in the tough conditions on offer to advance through to Round Three ahead of Ethan Egiguren (EUK) who placed second.
“In the beginning of the heat I didn’t get any good waves but then that left came in and I surfed it well and I got an 8. It is a fun wave to surf if you can catch the good one.”
“I prefer to surf the lefts,” continued Cloarec. “I saw that they would be better during my heat so my plan was to try and find them. I want to get a result here but I am trying not to think about it too much and just concentrate on my surfing.”
Kieren Bulard (REU) 19, impressed in the tricky conditions with flowing rail turns despite the battering winds and face chop on the shifting peaks. Building on his initial scores, Bulard finished with the modest total of 9.17 out of 20 to take out a low scoring encounter.
“It is smaller today and I caught a couple of mushy waves but I am happy because in the end I got through my heat. I got a 5-point ride and then after that I tried to catch a good wave to build on my scores but I didn’t find a better wave. It was ok because no one else found another good wave either. I wasn’t nervous because I saw that the others were scoring low, getting 2 or 3 point rides.”
Bulard, ranked nº17 on the Asp European rankings, is concentrating on the higher rated Pro Junior events for his 2011 campaign and made his first appearance after his 9th place finish on home soil in Reunion Island last month.
“This is my second event after the Reunion Island Pro Junior. I arrived in France one month ago to do my practical studies as a coach and I have been surfing and training in Seignosse.”
Pierre-Valentin Laborde (Hossegor, FRA) 19, one of Europe’s most experience campaigners, showed his talents on the moving peaks with a powerful display of forehand gouges and committed close-out turns to cruise through to the next Round.
“When you get a wave you don’t know if it will be a good one or not so I tried to do at least one big turn to try and build up some scores. I have some good boards here with me but it is so difficult to surf out there because it is so mushy so I used a normal board and it went good in today’s conditions.”
“This is my last year as a junior,” stated Laborde. “I did the Reunion Pro Junior and came fifth there so I am pretty confident at the moment and I want to be in the race for the European title.”
Charly Termeau (Hossegor, FRA) 14, one of the youngest competitors in the Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior, advanced in second place behind Laborde in a tight battle over Pedro Berasaluce (EUK) and local Kai Garcia (CNY). Termeau clinched his place in the next Round with a series of flowing forehand snaps to secure a 5.17 out of 10.
“I am happy with the result because I was against guys who are older than me and it is not easy for me to pass heats. The right I caught was probably the best of the heat but it was not the perfect wave so it is difficult to surf out there. I got through to Round Three in Somo last week and I want to do better here again.”

Promise Fulfilled, Accomplishment Achieved at WSSU Commencement on May 14
WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- For Jeanette Valentine, earning her bachelor’s degree in business administration will be fulfilling on many levels.
Valentine, 50, is one of the approximately 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students who are expected to participate in WSSU’s Spring Commencement exercises on May 14 at 9:45 a.m. in the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Stephen A. Smith, noted journalist, media personality and motivational speaker, will be the keynote speaker.
Commencement will mark a special satisfaction not just because Valentine, a travel audit officer in WSSU’s accounting department, will be graduating with her 24-year-old son William R. Valentine. It’s because of a long-time promise fulfilled. Valentine made the promise to her mother back in 1978. Her mother and father never graduated from high school. When Valentine’s mother, who was battling cancer, asked her to promise she would graduate college, Valentine did. Valentine’s mother died two weeks before she graduated high school. Valentine was devastated over losing her mother.
“I started school at WSSU that year, but it lasted only one semester. I didn’t have the drive. I was still too distressed and overcome by my mother’s death. I couldn’t focus on school,” Valentine said.
Instead, Valentine got married, had two children and eventually went to work at a few jobs before coming to work at WSSU in 2006. In 2007, she decided to return to school since her children were adults. At the same time, her son who graduated high school in 2004 was thinking about returning to college after quitting previously. By fall 2007, both with full-time jobs returned to school at WSSU. He was an exercise science major and she was in the School of Business and Economics.
“He was so career focused on his job and he was doing well. But I kept pushing him and telling him he had to get a degree. I was thrilled he came back to school and that we were in school at the same time. It was exciting,” said Valentine.
Eventually Valentine saw her son was distracted by work. They talked and it was he who asked they agree to push each other so they could graduate at the same time.
That time is now. Valentine is thrilled they are graduating together. She says it feels like she has kept the promise made to her mother times two.
“In addition to the accomplishment, it may be quite an emotional day,” Valentine said.
Valentine is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, the international honor society for collegiate schools of business as well as Alpha Sigma Lambda, a national honor society for Adult Learners in Continuing Higher Education. She plans to pursue her master’s degree at Liberty University.
Extraordinary Journey
It will be a festive ending to an extraordinary journey for Jerrica Scott, 24, of Winston-Salem. For Scott, commencement will symbolize the end of a passage marked by limitations, fear and uncertainty. It will be a celebration of a personal renaissance, driven by a theme that anything is possible with faith, passion and purpose.
“No matter how bad things may look, you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of others if you work really hard and know things can change. Soon things may look different, then not so bad, better, even good.”
Scott’s journey is verification of her belief. She entered WSSU to earn a four-year bachelor’s degree in elementary education six years ago as a single teen-aged mom. During that time as a full-time student, living on her own with her young daughter, she worked full-time, changed majors multiple times, quit school, got married, had another child, returned to school, made up a semester of credits lost when she quit and found her way back to the major that gave her the purpose.
“Just before I started my freshman year, I could hear people saying now that I had a baby as a teenager, my life was over or I wouldn’t get very far,” noted Scott. “Because I got pregnant in high school and had a baby in my first year of college, it didn’t mean I would be a failure. I did not want to be the stereotype of a young single mom who would work only at fast food restaurants or be on welfare the rest of her life.”
Although Scott was determined, she became distracted during her second year.
“I was failing classes miserably. I was living on my own and I was 18 years old. I felt lost and beaten, so I quit school,” Scott said who worked as a waitress. “Then one day, my manager told me the biggest thing he regretted was not finishing school. So if you don’t want to be waiting tables for the rest of your life, you need to go back to school. “
That was the turning point for Scott. She also thought about her mother, a cosmetologist, who always stressed the importance of education and often expressed interest in wanting her children to be greater than she. Scott soon quit her job and returned to school. Her best friend and others helped her find her way back to the major that aligned with where her talents and passions had always been -- elementary education.
“My best friend told me this is what I suppose to be doing. She told me we are going over there right now and you are going to get enrolled back into school. I just thank her,” said Scott.
Then she met a good man who cared about her and her daughter. It was like an unattainable dream. They soon married. Her second daughter was born in 2010. Now in school and completely focused on her education, Scott delivered the baby on a Friday and returned class on Monday.
Scott is currently working as a substitute teacher and searching for a fulltime permanent teaching job. She is also going to be the “first in my family to graduate college.”
Multiple Job Offers Early in Her Senior Year
Information technology major Kristen Dunlap, 21, of Charlotte, has accomplished a standout achievement, even before she completed her last year of college. In this challenging economy, she had two job offers from Fortune 500 companies one before her senior year, the other early in her senior year. She selected one position which she will begin this summer.
Dunlap attributes her success to internships, which she began participating in back in her freshman year. That first one was a summer research experience for undergraduate WSSU computer science students at WSSU, funded by NASA. She used, GIS visualization tools to visualize North Carolina weather patterns. The goal of the summer program was to expose students to researching skills and help to develop their problem solving and critical thinking skills.
For her second year, Dunlap interned at the NASA Langley, Va., facility where she worked as a liaison between the technology and client teams for the database tracking system used to manage NASA’s contractual projects.
For summer 2010, she was an intern at Altria Client Services in Richmond ,Va., where she worked on data archiving to consolidate previous and current information to migrate to a new system.
“You can never underestimate the value of internships. I started utilizing the WSSU Career Services office in my second year. My parents always told me to be aggressive at seeking job opportunities. I didn’t want to be a person to work hard for four years and have no job in the end,” Dunlap said.
She will start her new job at Altria Client Services as an IT assistant analyst.
The Entertainment Mogul
Erikka Rainey, 22, of Philadelphia wants to be a female Sean “P-Diddy” Combs. In fact, she has wanted to be an entertainment mogul from a very young age. As a child, she dabbled in music and even took classes, but by age 14, she knew wholeheartedly that she wanted to be on the business side of the music industry.
“When I first learned about P-Diddy, I knew that was where I wanted my future to be,” said Rainey. “I look up to P- Diddy because I’m working to be the first female to start a record label, then restaurants, clothing lines and television shows.”
When she sees a famous entertainer, she wonders what sort of things they did in their career to get famous. If not famous, she wonders what it would take to make them famous. While at WSSU she jumped at every opportunity to market and promote musical artists and events. She worked with Hidden Beach Recordings to promote events for a new CD. She passed out flyers and did social media and internet marketing for jazz artist Monette Sudler of Philadelphia this past summer.
“If there’s one thing I live by, it’s take advantage of all opportunities. Don’t close yourself off to anything. You never know what you will learn that can be the key to your future,” Rainey said.
An honor student, Rainey will be attending New York University’s (NYU) music business program in the fall. She plans to maintain at least one home in New York City after graduate school when her career kicks off.

Inserts are a standout amongst the best methods you can get on the grounds that there's no chance you can botch it up. You can't neglect to utilize it or utilize it inaccurately. Inserts are "set-it-and-overlook it" birth control.
The embed is helpful and private.
As told by Dr. Asha Baxi(www.elawoman.com/indore/doctor/dr-asha-baxi) of Disha Fertility and Surgical Center(www.elawoman.com/indore/clinic/disha-fertility-and-surgic...) , Once your Nexplanon is in, you scarcely need to consider it — it works until the point when it terminates or you have it taken out. That implies no excursions to the drug store, no pill to take or ring to put in, and nothing you need to do before sex to anticipate pregnancy. More often than not you can't see the embed under your skin, so no one knows you have it unless you let them know.
Numerous hormonal birth control methods(www.elawoman.com/blog/birth-control/advantages-and-disadv...) contain two hormones, estrogen and progestin. A few people with certain medical issues can't utilize methods that contain estrogen. Nexplanon is super powerful at anticipating pregnancy AND it's without estrogen, so more individuals can utilize it.
It's absolutely sheltered to not get a period while you're on Nexplanon. What's more, you don't have to stress over being pregnant regardless of the possibility that you don't get a period, on the grounds that the embed is ridiculously successful birth control. (You can simply take a pregnancy test in the event that you need no doubt.) said by Dr. Archana Baser(www.elawoman.com/indore/doctor/dr-archana-baser) of Akash ENT Hospital(www.elawoman.com/indore/hospital/akash-ent-hospital-manor...)
Gran Canaria, Canary Islands (Thursday, May 12, 2011) – The Asp 3-Star Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior, Event nº3 of 7 on the Asp Europe Men’s Pro Junior Series ran through to complete Round Two with standout surfers Dimitri Ouvre (BRB) 19, and Tom Cloarec (FRA) 17, leading the remaining Top Seeds through stormy on-shore conditions in peaky 3-4ft waves at La Cicer.

I find myself more and more only wanting to take photos that involve bokeh/DoF/light. I guess shooting mainly with prime lenses tends to do that; I have become obsessed with my 50mm.
***SNEAK PEEK*** SNEAK PEAK*** Eight explosive rare teak dining chairs from Kai Kristiansen. Check out those legs..perfect for a mini skirt! Staggering month of activity..take a look back and see everything that happened. Mind blowing!
See ya when I get back. Michigan is calling my name.
The cinema and Tesco at Allerton, 1980. A life-changing moment took place here, because the standout memory for me is watching an all time favourite 'Airplane', and the support movie, a comedic film noir about a werewolf who mugged old ladies for dog biscuits from their shopping, here.
These are from the third batch of 'Liverpool - Then and Now' photo collages that I put together during a hectic but interesting couple of week's project in December 2012.
I've treated the project as a 'treasure hunt' trying to work out the exact location that the original shot was taken, and this section of the set were taken at various times between 1890 and 1980, mainly around the suburbs in the south end of the city, but there are also some taken in town and a few in the north end.
Sometimes the exact angle is no longer possible, due to new buildings in the way etc but I have got myself as close as I could and learned a bit more than I did about the buildings and lives of people that were around Liverpool before I was.
For the 'Now' shots, I tried to put the onus on duplicating the original rather than necessarily getting the 'best' shot I could, so if the original was wonky, I wonked up the modern one. I also tried, where possible, to catch any modern equivalent details, so if a
tram or car or pedestrian was in the original, I tried to get a bus or car or pedestrian in the same spot - that was by no means always possible, though.
A note on copyright issues - the last thing I would want to do is use someone else's work without their permission. Most of the 'Then' pictures I either bought in a secondhand bookshop or found on the internet. I believe most of these pictures are either postcards, engineers or sanitation department records pictures and just the very occasional individual person's photograph. I believe very old postcards and the like are generally 'in the public domain' so haven't done much checking on ownership of them. On the shots where I have been able to work out a previous Flickr appearance, I have emailed the persons I believe to be the owners and asked for their permission to use them.
Where they have given permission I have credited them accordingly.
If anyone sees others that they hold the copyright for, please do contact me - I would be more than happy to credit you as such and add any information you would like, or I would remove them altogether if preferred. Saying that, I hope as many people as possible enjoy what I've put together, and I would be interested if anyone has any questions, comments or corrections!
I've thoroughly enjoyed the project so far, so if I have the time, the weather stays reasonable and I find some suitable 'Then' shots, possibly more north end of Liverpool suburb-based, pubs and docks, I may well soon add some more.
Thank you for looking!

The cinema and Tesco at Allerton, 1980. A life-changing moment took place here, because the standout memory for me is watching an all time favourite 'Airplane', and the support movie, a comedic film noir about a werewolf who mugged old ladies for dog biscuits from their shopping, here.
These are from the third batch of 'Liverpool - Then and Now' photo collages that I put together during a hectic but interesting couple of week's project in December 2012.
