Theevent was being held at the Carlson Center, a multi-purpose indoor venue near Pioneer Park, in the middle of town. I spent that night camping at the Chena Hot Springs (see my previous post, Chena Hot Springs: a Fairbanks Original), and the next afternoon, I drove over to the Carlson. My hat is off to that couple from Tok, because the WEIO turned out to be one of the coolest things I did on that whole ultra-cool road trip.
At the World Eskimo Indian Olympics, just as at the International Summer and Winter Olympics, a flame is lit when the games begin, and it is kept burning for the duration of the event, a symbol of peace and unity, and the continuity of the olympic traditions. At the WEIO, the flame is a seal oil lamp that requires constant tending and replenishment. A trio of elders is assigned to that task, and they take it very seriousy indeed.
Last but not least, there is a regalia contest, with lovely ladies showing off their fur and finery, along with a beauty contest, to elect Miss WEIO for the coming year. All in all, a colorful and highly entertaining series of events!
Past Fort St. John, the terrain got a lot wilder. No more towns, very few people, and very little traffic. Saw a few U.S. license plates, Michigan, California, Oregon, South Carolina; people that were obviously headed to Alaska!
The Chena hot spring puts out steaming water at a temperature of 150 degrees, producing enough power to meet all the needs of the resort, as well as filling the hot springs pools used by the guests. In addition to the lodge and restaurant, they offer camping and horseback riding, and they have exhibits featuring sled dogs, greenhouses, ice sculptures, and geothermal energy.
Contestants take a running leap, then they make this crazy jackknife move, touch the ball suspended high above the floor with both feet, then come back down and stick the landing. If that sounds difficult? You have no idea.
Visualize a summertime journey through that part of the world, a world filled with mountains and glaciers and boreal forests, ice blue rivers, turquoise lakes, and billowing clouds that fill the sky. Imagine your vision as a beautiful piece of music. The fundamental, underlying theme of that symphony would be a gently rising swell of perfect harmony, pinkish lavender in its hue.
I'm wondering if the launch monitor is wrong. I was surprised when the fitter said that he couldn't tell me what my swing speed was as it was extrapolated from the ball speed and the 'smash factor' which stayed steady at 1.45. No printout as the computer crashed at the end.
A few years ago I was trying to get fitted for a G25 and the same launch monitor had the rpm very low. I went to a golf store and checked out other drivers and bought a BB Alpha with the stiff Fubuki shaft in the end (Poor choice of club). The rpm was significantly higher at around 2500rpm.
It could be an accuracy issue. Any radar based LM indoors w/o a metallic sticker on the ball can give questionable spin results, particularly if there is not a lot of room between the hitting point and the screen. And of course, there are other potential LM set-up issues that could effect accuracy. When possible, it's best to get the specific model LM used.
The fact that the LM didn't measure club head speed, by itself, is not much of an indication that the spin could be wrong as well. Some LM's just measure ball data, and not club data. gc2 is a common example but there are others.
I have noticed that some of my drives seem to fall out of the sky if I hit it a bit too high on the face. However, if I get it out of the middle then the flight is good. I have lofted up by 1 degree which helped.
Hitting high on the face will always result in the loss of a lot of spin - which you need to keep the ball airborne. No shaft is going to fix that. Instead, work on making sure you don't hit it too high on the face (e.g. maybe making sure the tee height doesn't get out of hand).
I used to play a "standard" length 45.5" driver and teed the ball up extremely low cause otherwise I caught the ball too high on the face....now I play a 44" driver with the S/W adjusted and tee the ball up about half ball above the crown and I noticed my attack angle, spin and everything has improved....
The following sequence is used for Miss High Kick and Kick Company at our summer camps, one day workshops and our National Championship for the Happy Feet Miss American High Kick. The same kick series will be used for both Junior and Senior Kick Company. Please take time to go over the kick series for memory purposes prior to the kick off.
Over the course of 12 weeks, you can expect to experience a significant improvement in the flexibility and mobility of your hips. This newfound range of motion will eliminate limitations in your movement, and directly translate to higher and more fluid kicking techniques!
Strengthening the hip muscles in their end ranges and utilizing dynamic-active mobility exercises will lead to increased power generation during kicking movements. The ability to generate greater force from the hips will amplify the effectiveness of your martial arts techniques!
It's also St. Augustine's birthday (he would be 1,663 years old today) and Robert Louis Stevenson's birthday (he would be 167), according to A Reader's Book of Days. But those guys have been talked about to death. Have you heard what happened to Margaret Wise Brown? I had no idea about the untimely, nun-related, high-kick-involving death of the author of Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, nor did I know the sad story of what happened to the rights to those books once she died.
With that burden finally lifted from his shoulder, he then goes to Dae-jeon to sort out their issues together and call her out on her attempt at noble idiocy. With a couple like them, who has been through a lot of things, I imagined we only need a short scene of them meeting in front of her house. She looks half-upset and half-relieved at seeing him, and he just looks at her tenderly.
Potato Star is definitely another example of unnecessary sad ending in sitcom. And personally, that one is sadder. At least in High Kick everyone knew for sure that those two leads were dead, the end. But Potato Star gave its heroine such a false and sad hope, I don't understand why anyone would think that's an acceptable conclusion. Though I think that one is harder to fix. The whole birth secret thing is going to hurt everyone unless they address it properly since the middle of the show.
IKR? And to make matters worse, I just found out recently that the director said in an interview that the reason Joonhyuk/Hyesung left is because he's terminally ill. Just WTF... I thought the ending was horrible enough as it is, at least it's an open ending and the viewer can decide if Hyesung's gonna reappear again or not. But for the director to actually say that's what actually happened to Hyesung?
I honestly don't understand how dramas get away with these series-ruining-endings. I mean, sure, the writer could momentarily lose their marbles in the last week of shooting. But then what about the director? The producer?? The actors??! Even the coffee guy could've had the decency to look at the scenes they were shooting and be like uHMMMM...
On that note, it's not that I'd really expect anyone outside the writer-director-producer trifecta to have any real say in episode content - it just boggles my mind how everyone else goes along with the insanity.
Thank you for devising this ending. I started watching HIGH KICK! 2 a couple of months ago following THE BEST HIT. It's only my second Korean sitcom. (HELLO FRANCESKA was my first, but I've only seen part of it.)
It has been wild to watch Jung Bo-suk flounder around as incompetent but kindhearted Dad while he duked it out in Goryeo with his wife the queen in THE KING LOVES. He is presently masterminding evil insurance mayhem in MAD DOG. I really need to get back to HIGH KICK! 2 as a palate cleanser, but have been dreading the horrible ending that I've heard so much about.
I'm only about half-way through and have been kind of dragging my feet. Now that my live-watch shows are ending, I have more time to return to THROUGH THE ROOF. I started MONEY FLOWER, and Grandpa has morphed into a truly reprehensible creep, which gives me yet another nudge to watch him in the sitcom.
Sitcom is always a great place to watch those veteran actors playing a completely different character than what they would usually do in mini-series. It's nice to see them portraying a bumbling or gruff, yet very kind-hearted character for a change.
HKTTR 2 was also my first/second sitcom. It's the reason why I love Daniel Choi and the reason why, despite her weakness, I continue to watch Shin Se-Kyung. SSK's ending in HKTTR 2 pissed me off so much that, while I do like her despite her obviously weaker acting (especially by comparison to some of my favourites), I've almost religiously followed her since in hopes that she and her character from HKTTR 2 can rest in peace and be happy together elsewhere.
LOL the producer wanted to show that since they could not be together in life because of their social class difference, they could only be considered each other's "equals" in death. I mean this ending works better if they were in a Joseon.
