Whether you are a beginner or experienced surfer the feeling is achieved by standing on the surfboard and using correct techniques to benefit from the natural power of the ocean.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Every skill explained in the previous stages of this booklet is all about preparing the surfboard and yourself for the stand up. There are five key factors that will eventually help you achieve your goal of standing and surfing a wave all the way to the beach.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;First of all we will look at the correct style to use as a beginner while in   &lt;br /&gt;the stand up position, secondly we will look at the techniques that will    &lt;br /&gt;get you from your stomach to your feet.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;Coaches Tip&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;When you are starting to stand and surf it is important to keep your head looking up and forward. If you find you are falling straight off the surfboard, you are probably looking down. KEEP LOOKING UP!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/feeds/1496501065624237515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/07/learn-surfing-stage-3.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/1496501065624237515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/1496501065624237515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/07/learn-surfing-stage-3.html' title='Learn Surfing (Stage 3)'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-CbmBDOpNd84/UBFi9AZe4LI/AAAAAAAAAVM/Rks1P_FsUq4/s72-c/image_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268687841636501276.post-4946448991749630950</id><published>2012-07-23T08:58:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-07-23T08:58:34.791-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Learn Surfing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Surfing"/><title type='text'>Learn Surfing (Stage 2 Part B)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;1st Wave Surfing&amp;#160; is a licensed Surfing Australia Surf School&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;In The Surf&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fIcMO8vxFsk/UA10o4bpKxI/AAAAAAAAAUw/ybvUJuBlwEM/s1600-h/image%25255B12%25255D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px&quot; height=&quot;206&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/-PSp2FhqouqE/UA10qZPT9PI/AAAAAAAAAU4/XXRwTPp6e-g/image_thumb%25255B10%25255D.png?imgmax=800&quot; width=&quot;190&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;If you are confident with your paddling technique the next step is to go back into the surf and use it to improve your wave catching skills. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Once again the question is “when do you jump on the surfboard?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Previously we were waiting for the wave to hit the tail of the surfboard before jumping on, now, to gain a maximum result, slide on to the surfboard when the wave is one to two metres away from the tail.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;As in stage one, push the surfboard forward heading directly into the beach, slide on (lead with your chest into the correct body position), start paddling hard and fast, you will feel the wave hit the back of the board and increase your momentum, from here, DON’T stop paddling, add a couple extra “power strokes” and then return your hands back to the chest line, push up, and ride the wave all the way to the beach.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;As every wave will be different you will have to work out yourself how much paddling is required, sometimes two strokes will pull you onto the wave and other times a larger quantity of strokes will be required. The idea is not to paddle all the way to the beach, but to increase your speed enough for the waves momentum to pick you up and carry you all the way to the beach.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Stage 2 Summary   &lt;br /&gt;Paddling is an essential skill that is required by a surfer. The more power and effort that is used when paddling will increase your wave catching ability and greatly benefit the next stage which is standing up. Remember this is a basic beginners guide and you should still only walk out to waist deep water and now paddle onto the white water waves.&lt;/p&gt;  </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/feeds/4946448991749630950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/07/learn-surfing-stage-2-part-b.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/4946448991749630950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/4946448991749630950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/07/learn-surfing-stage-2-part-b.html' title='Learn Surfing (Stage 2 Part B)'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-PSp2FhqouqE/UA10qZPT9PI/AAAAAAAAAU4/XXRwTPp6e-g/s72-c/image_thumb%25255B10%25255D.png?imgmax=800" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268687841636501276.post-7323618627527846854</id><published>2012-07-19T08:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-07-19T08:34:36.090-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hawaian Surfer Breaks World Record</title><content type='html'>&lt;h4&gt;Hawaiian surfer breaks world record for catching biggest wave – video&lt;/h4&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe style=&quot;border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; overflow: hidden; border-right-width: 0px&quot; src=&quot;http://gu-embedded-video.appspot.com/?a=false&amp;amp;i=brightcove/poster/2012/5/12/120512SurfWorldRecord_6170996.jpg&amp;amp;f=brightcove/2012/5/12/120512SurfWorldRecord-16x9.mp4&amp;amp;u=/sport/video/2012/may/12/surfer-breaks-world-record-video&amp;amp;tn=Hawaiian surfer breaks world record for largest wave ever ridden - video:Video:1744439&quot; width=&quot;460&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; height=&quot;397&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;!-- End of guardian embedded video --&gt;  </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/feeds/7323618627527846854/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/07/hawaian-surfer-breaks-world-record.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/7323618627527846854'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/7323618627527846854'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/07/hawaian-surfer-breaks-world-record.html' title='Hawaian Surfer Breaks World Record'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268687841636501276.post-7922870041245165917</id><published>2012-07-18T19:22:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-07-18T19:22:03.301-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Learn Surfing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Surfing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tips"/><title type='text'>SURFING HAWAII: BIG PIPELINE FIRST SWELL!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/Qwr6yMcD7Kk?feature=player_detailpage&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;460&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;VIDEO AT BANZAI PIPELINE.

By paddling we are attempting to increase the speed of the surfboard which will give it more momentum, this in turn will assist in catching waves and improve the stability of the surfboard as we progress towards the next stage of ‘standing up’.   &lt;br /&gt;Sorry, but you are still not going to stand up just yet!    &lt;br /&gt;To achieve the correct paddling technique you should once again practice on the beach and familiarise yourself with the finer points, which are:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Do - Body positioning (as in stage 1)   &lt;br /&gt;Do - Slightly raise your shoulders and chest off the deck    &lt;br /&gt;Do - Keep your head up and looking forward    &lt;br /&gt;Do - One arm after the other, reach forward and pull down, close to the rail, bending at the elbow and then pulling through until your arm is fully extended.    &lt;br /&gt;Do - Slightly cup your hands &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Remember what we are ideally trying to achieve is speed and momentum, it is important to gain maximum power from your paddling, things you DO NOT want to do are:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Don’t - Paddle both arms at the same time   &lt;br /&gt;Don’t - Spread your arms and paddle wide    &lt;br /&gt;Don’t - Roll your shoulders so much that you actually pull yourself of the side of the surfboard    &lt;br /&gt;Don’t - Keep your head down and chin rested on the deck &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;After paddling a few strokes in the sand you should place your hands   &lt;br /&gt;onto the chest line and push up.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;source&lt;/strong&gt; : 1st Wave Surfing ...

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Before any surfing activity you should do a full body stretch. Surfing is great fun but it is also a very physical activity and the ocean is very powerful. Even if you are just out there for a bit of fun you will exert a high rate of energy from your body. Stretching before you go surfing will help you get maximum results and help prevent injuries. If it is your aim to be surfing regularly stretching should become part of your daily routine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Be aware of your surfing surroundings. Before entering the ocean study the surf and identify any hazards or obstacles. Things you should be noticing are:       &lt;br /&gt;
- Are there any submerged rocks        &lt;br /&gt;
- Are there any stingers washed onto the beach        &lt;br /&gt;
- Are you going to be surfing crowded waves        &lt;br /&gt;
- Are there any rips or currents in the area        &lt;br /&gt;
- Is the tide coming in or going out        &lt;br /&gt;
- What is the weather like&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

 &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The question now is “when do you jump on to the surfboard”? &lt;a href=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/-bytEIaUs12k/T8XjysUODGI/AAAAAAAAATY/Vcoh21yq14g/s1600-h/image%25255B11%25255D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;image&quot;

Pick up your surfboard with your hands on the identified chest line and then hold it to one side (whatever feels most comfortable). Start walking out into the surf, be careful not to trip over on your legrope. When a wave comes towards you simply lift the surfboard up and over and keep progessing out until you are in waist deep water or a few metres in front of where the waves are breaking (break zone).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Never carry your surfboard if front of you while entering the surf, if you do, when the wave comes it has a much bigger area to hit and it will knock you backwards and most likely under water. Keep your nose pointing out to the ocean at all times.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;source&lt;/strong&gt; : 1st Wave Surfing ...

Sorry, but you are not going to stand up with this stage. Stage 1 is all about your body positioning on the surfboard and catching waves.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;To catch waves and surf it is important that the body is positioned correctly on the surfboard. Correct positioning will assist in keeping the surfboard stable and in trim and most importantly prepare you for the stand up which is described in Stage 3.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The correct way to lie on your beginner surfboard is to place your toes on the tail of the board, grip the rails below your chest, keep your head looking forward at all times and slightly raise your chest off the board. All these points are vital if you are to achieve your goal of standing and surfing waves.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Your toes should be in a position where you can cup them over the tail off the board, if you can do this your body is positioned on the board correctly, but where we want your toes is on the surfboard. Next, grab the rails below your chest (for future reference we will call this the chest line) by grabbing the chest line we are preparing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;the push-up that is required to assist you get to your feet. It is vital you grab the chest line with your ELBOWS UP and not down, they are described during lessons as chicken wings. Try and identify something on your surfboard with this line, it is where your hands will remain for the duration of your surf.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Very importantly your head should be looking up and forward, this will give you balance on the surfboard and help you progress must quicker.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh5.ggpht.com/-f7WtkLlBtMI/T6IO2uPc24I/AAAAAAAAAQg/3mjzhPyuKQA/s1600-h/image%25255B9%25255D.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px&quot; height=&quot;131&quot; alt=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;http://lh5.ggpht.com/-7sUGvito1Ns/T6IO3_tnkoI/AAAAAAAAAQo/z2ABGilHnVk/image_thumb%25255B5%25255D.png?imgmax=800&quot; width=&quot;244&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h5&gt;Pushing Up&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Once you have worked out your correct positioning, the next progression is to push up.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The push up is to prepare you for the stand up, it requires you to strongly push your upper body up creating an arch in your back and giving the maximum amount of clearance between your chest and the deck. An even amount of power should be used by each arm to keep the surfboard stable and in trim.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Once again your head should be up and looking forward.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h5 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Coaches Tip&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Before any surfing activity you should do a full body stretch.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Surfing is great fun but it is also a very physical activity and the ocean   &lt;br /&gt;is very powerful. Even if you are just out there for a bit of fun you will    &lt;br /&gt;exert a high rate of energy from your body. Stretching before you go surfing will help you get maximum results and help prevent injuries. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;If it is your aim to be surfing regularly stretching should become part of your daily routine.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;source&lt;/strong&gt; : 1st Wave Surfing ...

This happens by a channel being formed and the water flowing into it to create a current that is strong enough to pull out through the incoming waves.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;As a beginner surfer what you need to know is that the rip only goes out as far as the back breaking waves. It will not drag you for miles and miles out to sea, if you find yourself in a rip you should go with it and then simply paddle to the side and catch a wave back in. Do not panic, be aware of what is happening, stay on your surfboard and keep an eye on the breaking waves which may become bigger as you go further out.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Rips are identifiable by a number of ways:    &lt;br /&gt;- The colouring of the water may have changed to a murky dirtier colour, this is caused by the sand being stirred up from the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;- The surface of the water may be choppier or rougher, this is created by the incoming and outgoing flows of water colliding.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;source&lt;/strong&gt; : 1st Wave Surfing ...

As a general     &lt;br /&gt;guide, if there is no experienced person to offer you assistance when     &lt;br /&gt;purchasing your surfboard, put one arm straight up into the air and the     &lt;br /&gt;length of your beginner board should approximately reach the tips of     &lt;br /&gt;your fingers.

The more rounded or pointed end is    &lt;br /&gt;known as the nose.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;2. The opposite end with the legrope is    &lt;br /&gt;known as the tail, this is the end where     &lt;br /&gt;your feet go when lying on the surfboard.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;3. The sides of the surfboard are the rails,    &lt;br /&gt;the rails are used for turning the     &lt;br /&gt;surfboard, but at this stage you should use     &lt;br /&gt;them for HOLDING ON.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;4. The top side is the deck, this is the side    &lt;br /&gt;you lie and stand on.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;5. The bottom is simply called, the bottom.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;6. The legrope is what attaches you to the    &lt;br /&gt;surfboard, it is a velcro strap that goes     &lt;br /&gt;around your back ankle when standing.     &lt;br /&gt;(We’ll work on that later)&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;7. Surfboard Wax is applied to the deck to    &lt;br /&gt;add grip, alternatively your surfboard may     &lt;br /&gt;have deck grip stuck to it.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;strong&gt;source&lt;/strong&gt; : 1st Wave Surfing ...

When you choose &lt;strong&gt;PhenObestin&lt;/strong&gt; you get 60 of these power packed little white tablets with the blue specks in each bottle. That&#39;s a full one month supply of the weight loss product that is one of the best diet pills on the market today.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;table class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;     &lt;tr&gt;       &lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto&quot; href=&quot;http://www.kqzyfj.com/j6117ar-xrzEKMJGNLIEGGFIOLGI&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.awltovhc.com/ng122bosgmk5BDA7EC957769FC79&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;/tr&gt;      &lt;tr&gt;       &lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;DIET PILL PhenObestin 37.5&lt;/td&gt;     &lt;/tr&gt;   &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;h4&gt;Why Choose PhenObestin 37.5?&lt;/h4&gt; PhenObestin is made from the finest pharmaceutical grade ingredients. These ingredients are found in nature, and have proven qualities that can enhance your ability to lose weight faster and easier than simply dieting. When you use PhenObestin you get similar properties found in Phentermine, but in a safer package. PhenObestin 37.5 uses Synephrine HCL, a derivative of citrus to speed up metabolism and burn fat more efficiently. Even more powerful is Phenylethylamine HCL, a potent property in PhenObestin 37.5 that is a natural monoamine alkaloid found in the Acacia Rigidula plant. This magic from nature has several important qualities that make it an excellent dietary aid. First, it triggers your neurotransmitters to release a burst of dopamine. This is the same organic chemical your body creates when you eat such forbidden diet foods as chocolate. It makes you feel great and relieves the anxiety and moodiness that most dieters find so annoying. The Phenylethylamine HCL found in PhenObestin 37.5 also acts as an appetite suppressant, making it easier for you to follow your planned diet regimen. Yes, you still have to follow a proper diet with fewer calories in order to lose weight when you take &lt;strong&gt;PhenObestin 37.5&lt;/strong&gt; to obtain the best results. However, it is easier than ever, and you’ll feel great doing it.    </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/feeds/9021274253007815366/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/04/best-diet-pill-on-market.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/9021274253007815366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/9021274253007815366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/04/best-diet-pill-on-market.html' title='The Best Diet Pill on The Market'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268687841636501276.post-2950626091130227685</id><published>2012-04-22T02:35:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-04-22T02:39:43.172-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Movie"/><title type='text'>Battleship Movie</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://lh5.ggpht.com/-j9PLJTOX-Xw/T5PQvpv__QI/AAAAAAAAAN4/vQNtCaVdX10/s1600-h/Battleship%25255B9%25255D.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Battleship&quot; style=&quot;border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px&quot; height=&quot;175&quot; alt=&quot;Battleship&quot; src=&quot;http://lh6.ggpht.com/-K8c6Ef-CUXw/T5PQxJoebyI/AAAAAAAAAN8/Gokilf2MSD0/Battleship_thumb%25255B7%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800&quot; width=&quot;157&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Milton Bradley&#39;s enduringly popular strategic board game makes the leap to the big screen in Hancock director Peter Berg&#39;s epic sci-fi adventure pitting an international naval fleet against an army of invading aliens.

&lt;b&gt; Bunaken&lt;/b&gt; is a place with a very small population in the state/region of &lt;b&gt;Sulawesi Utara&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Indonesia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; which is located in the continent/region of &lt;b&gt;Asia&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;em&gt;Bunaken&lt;/em&gt; is an island of 8 km², part of the &lt;em&gt;Bunaken&lt;/em&gt; National Marine Park. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bunaken National Marine Park&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ranks amongst the best &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snorkeling.info/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;snorkeling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; destinations in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
The waters of Bunaken National Marine Park are extremely deep (1566 m in Manado Bay), clear (up to 35-40 m visibility), refreshing in temperature (27 to 29 °C) Pick any of group of interest - corals, fish, echinoderms or sponges - and the number of families, genera or species is bound to be astonishingly high. For example, 7 of the 8 species of giant clams that occur in the world, occur in Bunaken. The park has around 70 genera of corals; compare this to a mere 10 in Hawaii. Although the exact number of fish species is unknown, it may be slightly higher than in the Philippines, where 2,500 species, or nearly 70% of all fish species known to the Indo-western Pacific, are found.&lt;br /&gt;

Biologists believe that the abundance of hard&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tropicalfishdata.com/marine/coral_reef_sea_article.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;corals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is crucial in maintaining the high levels of diversity in the park. Hard corals are the architects of the reefs, without them, numerous marine organisms would be homeless and hungry. Many species of fish are closely associated with particular types of corals (folious, branching, massives, etc.) for shelter and egg-laying. Others, like the enormous Bumphead Parrotfish, Balbometopon muricatum, are “coralivores” and depend on hard corals for their sustenance. Bony mouth parts fused into an impressive “beak” allow these gregarious fish to crunch corals like roasted peanuts.&lt;br /&gt;
The Park is located close to &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manado&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Manado&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the capital city of North Sulawesi. Travelling time between   &lt;br /&gt;
Manado and Bunaken Island is about 35 minutes by boat.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/feeds/4613516523993243108/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/04/diving-snorkeling-at-bunaken.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/4613516523993243108'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/4613516523993243108'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/04/diving-snorkeling-at-bunaken.html' title='Diving &amp;amp; Snorkeling at Bunaken'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VLr5CD6hta8/T47IiVIfwpI/AAAAAAAAALs/oE2wg6e-Iiw/s72-c/bunaken1.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4268687841636501276.post-614412259483188808</id><published>2012-04-19T09:56:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-04-20T09:11:56.988-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Justin Bieber"/><title type='text'>Justin Bieber song &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Boyfriend with lyrics</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Just share a nice song from Justin Bieber.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;object style=&quot;height: 390px; width: 440px&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/-yUzpPJr_gA?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/-yUzpPJr_gA?version=3&amp;amp;feature=player_detailpage&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; width=&quot;440&quot; height=&quot;360&quot;&gt;&lt;/object&gt;  </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/feeds/614412259483188808/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/04/justin-bieber-song-boyfriend-with.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/614412259483188808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4268687841636501276/posts/default/614412259483188808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pearllobster.blogspot.com/2012/04/justin-bieber-song-boyfriend-with.html' title='Justin Bieber song &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Boyfriend with lyrics'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
