Southeast Division Preview Time!
No, not here - James of Cycle Like the Sedins foundership fame has asked me to participate in his blogger roundtable regarding how we feel about our teams' upcoming seasons. It's not on CLTS, though - oh no! He's too big and fancy for that - this divisional preview is on NBC's Pro Hockey Talk. It's always nice to see what other bloggers are thinking regarding not just their team, but as a division as a whole. Check out what Caroline from Canes Country, Donny of The Litter Box Cats, John of Raw Charge, and Rob of Storming the Crease all have to say about their teams' chances in the most improved division in hockey... or so they* say it is.
*I'm guessing this "they" is related to "them," whoever "them" is. Are. "Them" be? Aw, screw it.
Training Camp Begins for Blues and Thrashers
It's that wonderful time of the year - it's finally getting cool(ish) outside, fall is in the air, and NHL training camps begin. Next week marks the start of pre-season hockey, and before you know it, the season's starting. The off-season's been long and not exciting, but it's amazing how quickly it's passed for Blues and Thrashers fans. Now we get to see what the trade acquisitions and free agent signings bring to the make-up of the teams, and we get to see what rookies have to return to the AHL or juniors for one more year of seasoning.
The Blues' camp began this morning at St. Louis Mills shopping center. Full rosters are up on the Blues' website, of course, and it looks like it'll be a bit of a packed house for sure. The roster guys from last year are basically going to be back on the team this season, so very few roster spots (fourth liner and probably two defensive slots including the 7th guy) are up for grabs for the youth to pick and choose from.
The minor league goalies know that they're not cracking the team this year with Jaroslav Halak and Ty Conklin as the tandem. However, look for Jake Allen and Ben Bishop to play well, but they'll be the goalie pairing in Peoria for another season. The healthy scratch position is Matt D'Agostini's to lose, which stands to reason since this is the position that he'll probably play in the NHL for the bulk of his career. The real intrigue lies in the sixth and seventh defensemen positions that lay open.
As it stands, the Blues defense looks like this:
Cola-?? 7th Man - ??
Two slots open, with five guys fighting for it. Yep, I know that there are eleven prospects fighting for them, but out of all eleven, there are only five that will really challenge for those two spots. Alex Pieterangelo is 20, and steamrolled the other prospects at Traverse City. It's more than evident that he has hit his level of development at the junior level and probably at the AHL level, and deserves the opportunity to continue to improve at the NHL level. The 6th pairing will be complete with him, giving the Blues a solid defensive corps with room to mature and grow - or improve their +/- rating, as it applies to them. The seventh guy - the healthy scratch - comes down to Ian Cole, Nikita Nikitin, Nathan Oystrick, and Tyson Strachan. Strachan needs the work in Peoria to smooth out rough edges, as does Cole - and being the 7th man will do their development no good. Nikitin continues to impress, but Oystrick has the most NHL experience and is as developed as much as he can be. He's a perfectly servicible last pairing/7th d-man who had been pushed down the depth charts of Atlanta and Anaheim. In order to not stunt the development of the youth, he's probably the safest option for the Blues to use as the scratch.
Jon Hamm Talks Blues
Not sure if I agree with his line-up (I'd go Oates or Federko over Janney - and Janney and Shanny on the same line's probably not safe anyway), but you gotta love Jon Hamm's legit devotion to the St. Louis Blues:
Even if this is a damned HAT OF LIES:
Pre-Season Positivity for the Atlanta Thrashers?
Poking around the interwebz the past few days, I've caught some of the season previews sneaking out. I've already looked at the Blues' offense on here, but the previews I've seen the most of on-line have been for the Thrashers since so many previews have been alphabetically released. The thing that's catching my eye is that they've been mostly positive-ish. Of course, positive-ish for the Thrashers in the national media is "they won't finish last!" so I kind of take what I can get.
SB Nation's look at the pre-season power rankings is a compilation of the individual blog owners' opinions of where the standings'll wind up. Take it with a grain of salt since it's a group effort (and don't jump Travis - he just had the duty of getting it together). I consider pre-season power rankings a wash - they take into consideration all of the bloggers' pre-conceived ideas about the team as well as their compiling of information from media outlets, and let's face it - no one's cuddly with Atlanta. I picked apart the rankings on SB Nation Atlanta. Usually I don't pay a bit of attention to power rankings because they're just opinion, but I wanted to look at SB Nation's since I write there on a few blogs.
But ranking Southeast Division teams lowly, or at least just blowing them off, is a mistake. Adam Proteau of The Hockey News has a good point - out of the Eastern Conference divisions, the SE made the most moves and the most effort during the off-season to noticably improve. Laugh at your own expense, but every team's gotten better, and with the exception of maybe the Panthers, they each have a legit shot of making the playoffs. You can't look at the SE this year and write everyone off but the Caps, and that should make folks think through their power rankings for once.
Unless you're Jamie Bell of TSN. TSN completely wrote the Thrashers off in their pre-season preview in a write-up that couldn't be more wrong. It's a mash-up of assumptions that fails to take about half of the team into consideration. Apparently dropping dough on an "impact player" is necessary for the team to move up in the standings. This statement comes after Bell lists the players that the Thrashers added. He might not be a big name, but if you don't think Chris Mason is an impact player, you haven't been watching Western Conference hockey for the past two seasons.
This selection from the article made me actually laugh out loud:
The departures of Max Afinogenov, MacArthur, Colby Armstrong, Slava Kozlov and White means there will be plenty of forward spots up for grabs in training camp. While there are some promising prospects on the horizon it will be difficult to fill the skates of the departing veterans, no matter how many bit pieces from the reigning Stanley Cup champs are brought in. This team is going to have a great deal of difficulty scoring.
Ok, I've already addressed this on SB Nation Atlanta - the Thrashers have replaced that scoring and have replaced it with defensively responsible players. How they're worse off is confusing - if losing Ilya Kovalchuk wasn't that big of a deal to the team, how is losing Todd White? TSN is usually home of solid reporting, but this is supposition and laziness combined. The same moves that had the rest of the hockey media sitting up and taking notice, even if for a second, seems to have flown over Bell's head.
Mike Chen of From the Rink is obviously on the ball. He has the Thrash ranked as next year's breakout team. I'm a homer and biased, and not sure if this is really the case (it might be a bit of hyperbole), but I do like how it sounds. That, and Mike put forth more effort in his paragraph blurb than TSN did in their preview, so I'm giving the edge to him.
Thrashers Re-Sign Niclas Bergfors; Fans Exhale
Yes, I chose this photo for the picture of the dude in the front row in the Cards cap. That takes guts to wear that in Philly. Well done, good sir. Well done.
The Thrashers finally re-signed their top line forward Niclas Bergfors today, giving much needed stability to the top six of the team. Bergfors, you might remember, was the offensive part of the Kovalchuk trade who came over and kept pace with the former Thrasher in the games after the trade up through the end of the season. The rookie was named to last season's All-Rookie team, and netted 21 goals and 23 assists last season. Bergfors thrived playing in the Thrashers' wide open style, and it can be fair to say that he should be able to score more than 21 goals this season freed from the shackles of New Jersey's snooze-inducing offensive system.
Bergfors was re-upped for just one year, though, at $900,000. This can be either good or bad - while most Thrashers fans'd like to see him locked up for more than one season (the term seems short), he will still be a RFA at the end of that term. If he has a bang-up year this season, he can count himself almost a shoe-in for a payraise and a lengthy contract at the end of the season.
Youth Being Served - Traverse Update and Thrash Rookie Camp
The Blues are off to a bangin' start at the Traverse City tourney, taking out the Tampa Bay Lightning prospects 4-2. Brett Sonne scored twice, and Jake Allen was solid in goal, blocking 24 of 26 Bolts shots. The box score can be found on the Blues' site, and no word as to when we'll be able to listen to/watch one of these games - I'm guessing it'll be when the Blues play a Canadian squad, since RogersTV is actually broadcasting the games. First I hear of anything being available, I'll post.
Also, Thrashers rookie camp starts tomorrow. Unfortunately I can't make any of it this year thanks to work, but Birdwatchers Anonymous has it covered with the rookie previews. Three days worth of previewing the forwards (here, here, and here) are done, and Timmyf has moved on to the defensemen.
For the schedule and roster, please see the official Thrashers site.
Blues Name New Alternate Captains
Things like this are why Barret Jackman is an alternate captain.
The Blues have announced their alternate (or assistant) captains for this season - Barret Jackman (who has been given the A yet again for his awesome "*dumbass*" look he shoots people), Erik Johnson, Alexander Steen, and David Backes. This is an excellent group of vets and young up and comers who will be getting a chance to grow into their roles presumably over a few seasons. Eric Brewer is still the Captain (more on that later), but in a few seasons I can see this shaping up to be David Backes' team.
No Shock: Byfuglien'll Start at D
It's ok. We'll still be seeing this on the PP.
In what comes as no shock, Chris Vivlamore has reported that Dustin Byfuglien will be starting camp at defense. With the recent signings of Modin and Dawes, it left absolutely no room for him up front - especially with the abundance of big forwards who will play a 3rd line role that the team now has. Expect to see Byfuglien continue his power play role as the Thrashers' version of Tomas Holmstrom, making life a nightmare for goalies.
The defense that we now have stockpiled looks like this: Bogosian, Enstrom, Hainsey, Sopel, Oduya, Valabik, Meyers, Kulda, and now Byfuglien. There're eight guys for basically seven spots. Either Kulda's staying with Chicago for another year, or someone's gone.
To keep Kulda in Chicago one more season for development isn't horrible, but after watching him play up here for a few games last season, it seemed that he was more than ready to step in last year. Unfortunately, his playing time was taken away by the call-up of Chris Chelios that we really couldn't see how he would end the season with the big team.
Valabik's been re-habbing all summer, and after a rough start last season was looking really good and comfortable before his season-ending injury. It seems a bit unfair to prepare for a trade at D without seeing how he is.
As the team stands right now, we'll have a glut at defense and a surplus of grinders at forward, with our first line and Peverley thrown in. We'll be tough to play against and we certainly won't be a doormat, but we need someone who can get the puck in the net as an insurance policy if Little doesn't bounce back (and if Bergfors doesn't get re-signed). I liked Dudley's moves at the beginning of the season, but his recent ones are confusing me. The depth is nice and not something that I'll ever argue with, but what of scoring? That's not a good thing to lack.
Jaroslav Halak Comes to Town.
As his agent Alan Walsh put it on Twitter, "Halakamania comes to St. Louis." God, that's an understatement.
Recent goaltending acquisition Jaroslav Halak was introduced to the St. Louis media and fans today, with a flurry of high expectations and low common sense - which is fine. The Blues haven't had a starting goalie since CuJo (who isn't featured on Halak's mask - odd), so the fans need someone to be pumped up about. Yes, there's some laughing to be had at the Blues' press-release - and Halak's Glamor-Shot worthy photograph. No, there won't be a jersey retirement/statue dedication for the new goalie here anytime soon, but give Blues fans a minute to bask in the glow of getting the league's "most talked about in a good way" goaltender. Sure, the reality of the season'll set in here soon enough when we're not first in the league on the back of the golden Halak, but the preseason'll be fun - the positive buzz's great, especially coming off of last year's disappointing (for the Western Conference) finish.
A round up of first hand accounts of the Savior's triumphant arrival in St. Louis can, of course, be found at the Post Dispatch. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be there since I was about 900 miles away, though I did snag this artist's recreation of the event:

Risk Workshops
Simply having risk analysis software does not necessarily mean you have a handle on your project's risk exposure. There's a lot more to it than that…
This is where our risk workshop comes in.
Acumen S1 // S5 Risk Workshops
A risk workshop is best conducted by an experienced, independent, third party workshop facilitator.
Obtaining knowledgeable, consensus-driven insight into the key risk drivers and areas of most uncertainty is essential to building an accurate risk model. Having a strong blend of risk analytics expertise and the ability to lead a highly energized team during what can be sensitive and controversial discussions regarding threats to a project is paramount.
The Acumen Approach
All too often risk facilitators isolate the project team through the use of complex statistical techniques and jargon.
The Acumen approach couldn't be more different.
We understand that a project team's expertise is the project itself – plain and simple.
By using a simple to understand risk gathering technique combined with relevant risk templates, the project team are able to provide clear concise and accurate risk inputs letting us then focus on the advanced analytics and model building behind the scenes.
Acumen's risk assessment methodology has been used on CAPEX projects totaling over $300 billion, and led to a 10% average reduction in project costs, 20% average schedule acceleration and saw a 91% forecasting accuracy.

Russian probe fails to set course to Mars – Roscosmos
Topic: Phobos-Grunt spacecraft

A robotic spacecraft to the Mars moon Phobos launched early on Wednesday has failed to reach a flying orbit after separation from the launch vehicle, the head of Russia's Federal Space Agency said.
The Zenit-2 launch vehicle carrying the Phobos-Grunt probe lifted off from the Baikonur space center at 00.16 a.m. Moscow time (20:16 GMT on Tuesday). The spacecraft was supposed to use its own booster to reach the designated flying trajectory, but failed to do so.
"It has been a tough night for us because we could not detect the spacecraft [after the separation]," Vladimir Popovkin said. "Now we know its coordinates and we found out that the [probe's] engine failed to start."
"It is a complex trajectory, and the on-board computers could have simply failed to send a "switch on" command to the engine," Popovkin said, adding that it is an emergency situation, which has been anticipated and could be corrected.
"We will attempt to reboot the program. The spacecraft is currently on a support orbit, the fuel tanks have not been jettisoned, and the fuel has not been spent," he said.
According to Popovkin, the technicians have three days to start the on-board engine and put the probe on the designated trajectory before the batteries run out.
The ambitious Phobos-Grunt mission is aimed at bringing back soil samples from Phobos in 2014 to pave the way for the exploration of the Red Planet.
The $163-million spacecraft carries an array of 20 instruments designed to gather and transmit data from the vicinity of Mars and from the surface of Phobos.
The potential loss of the Phobos-Grunt probe could deliver another serious blow to the country's space exploration program as Russia has previously failed several attempts to send unmanned spacecraft to Mars.

- siraj_rianEmbarasing05:02, 11/11/2011The fact is, the spacecraft is having old technology parts and did not complete many crucial tests such as flight control systems, telemetry communications, integrated electric tests before launching. More over the craft has partially loaded software ???? and it is incomplete for mission. In this situation, How they launch such a spacecraft for mars exploration ???
They have wasted lot of money and Russia has very bad administration.

CD/LP/Track Review
Lisa Engelken: Lisa Engelken - Little Warrior (2013)
Engelken employs a traditional jazz piano trio, supplemented by additional voices both instrumental and human. With this, she makes music that sounds like fusion cuisine tastes. It is easy to identify the elements that make up the sum individually, but that sum is something quite new and refreshing. For example, Engelken's original "Housemate From Hell" is indeed a "serpentine ensemble a la Kurt Weill and Tom Waits ," were those two to meet at the crossroads at midnight, sharing a snifter of brandy. Pure Broadway by way of the Bowery (or Skid Row out West). Bob Reich's accordion adds that perfect connection between Weill and Waits while powerfully melded with Engelken's power and precise vocals.
Jazz standards? If you call "Undertow" (the vocal arrangement of Wayne Shorter 's "Nefertiti") and Chick Corea 's "Sea Journey" standards. Gratefully, there is no "My Funny Valentine." Instead, Engelken covers the aforementioned Tom Waits ' "Blue Valentines" as an off- kilter ballad (what else?) that was made for an off-Broadway production of Moon for the Misbegotten. Performed with only piano and bass, "Valentines" has the smell of soft leather soiled with single-malt whiskey. This is pan- sensual music: tactile, fragrant, loud and bright. Think a very hip Barbra Streisand sans the cult of personality. It is a good direction in which to be going.

Tower of London
The ancient stones reverberate with dark secrets, priceless jewels glint in fortified vaults and ravens strut the grounds. The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world's most famous fortresses yet despite its grim reputation as a place of torture and death, there are so many more stories to be told.
The Crown Jewels
The world famous collection of fabulous finery and regalia – the Crown Jewels housed in a Jewel House, fit for the 21st century, explores the importance of the Crown Jewels to the British monarchy, the role of the Tower in protecting these treasures and the long and fascinating tradition of coronations in England. The priceless collection holds some of the most legendary and extraordinary diamonds in the world. The Crown Jewels at the Tower of London are a unique working collection of royal regalia and are still regularly used by the Queen in important national ceremonies, such as the State opening of Parliament.
The White Tower
A castle built to strike fear and submission into the unruly citizens of London and deter foreign invaders - today you cannot miss the iconic White Tower, a symbol of London and Britain, overlooking the River Thames. From July 2013, inside you will find the world's oldest visitor attraction, The Line of Kings. A line of wooden horses, their garish colours and wild expressions somewhat incongruous in amongst the majestic suits of armour, this is the surviving remnant of one of the oldest - and oddest - collections at the Tower. From murky beginnings as the Horse Armoury it is part propaganda, part fantasy, and the longest running visitor attraction in the world.
Royal Beasts

See sculptures of the lions, baboons, an elephant and even a polar bear; discover how they came to be at the Tower and what became of them in a fascinating exhibit in the Brick Tower.

[JURIST] The Vatican [official website] on Monday released Church procedures [text] for handling alleged cases of sexual abuse by priests, instructing, "Civil law concerning reporting of crimes to the appropriate authorities should always be followed." The "Guide to Understanding Basic CDF Procedures concerning Sexual Abuse Allegations" summarizes the procedures governing investigations by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) [official profile] into allegations of sex abuse by clergy members. The CDF guidelines provide for interim measures meant to ensure the safety of others during civil authorities' investigations or legal proceedings:
During the preliminary stage and until the case is concluded, the bishop may impose precautionary measures to safeguard the community, including the victims. Indeed, the local bishop always retains power to protect children by restricting the activities of any priest in his diocese. This is part of his ordinary authority, which he is encouraged to exercise to whatever extent is necessary to assure that children do not come to harm, and this power can be exercised at the bishop's discretion before, during and after any canonical proceeding.

Myoclonic Seizures
Sudden, brief, involuntary muscle jerks, a bit like the kind everyone has when a foot or leg suddenly jerks in bed. May be mild and affect only part of the body, or be strong enough to throw the child abruptly to the floor. May occur as a single seizure or a cluster of seizures.
Myoclonic seizures are rapid, brief contractions of bodily muscles, which usually occur at the same time on both sides of the body. Occasionally, they involve one arm or a foot. People usually think of them as sudden jerks or clumsiness. A variant of the experience, common to many people who do not have epilepsy, is the sudden jerk of a foot during sleep.
What to Do:
First aid is usually not needed. However, a person having a myoclonic seizure for the first time should receive a thorough medical evaluation.

Wolves drop season finale to Roughriders
Published on Wed, May 13, 2009 by
Michael Dashiell

Perhaps they had games of more importance on their minds.
Sequim pitchers surrendered 13 runs on 13 walks, five hit batters and, oddly, just five walks in a 13-5 loss at Port Angeles on May 4, the Wolves' final league game and last chance to prep for the West Central District playoffs.
Sequim (7-9 in Olympic League, 9-10 overall) was scheduled to play the Washington Patriots, the Nisqually League's No. 2 seed, in the opening round of the district tournament in Bremerton on May 12 - results of the loser-out, winner-advances contest were unavailable at press deadline. The winner moves on to a 7 p.m. May 15 district semifinal game against Klahowya. A win there would give Sequim a berth in the district finals and automatic state berth on May 16, while a loss puts the Wolves into a must-win consolation final, also on May 16.
All district games are at Bremerton's Legion Field.
The Wolves might want a change of venue after their rough outing against Port Angeles last week that was actually closer than the score indicates. Sequim starter Alex Gillis tossed an uncharacteristic six walks and hit two batters in his one-plus innings of work, giving up six earned runs. Reliever Spencer Middleton fared better, striking out eight Port Angeles batters and helping keep the P.A. bats at bay.
After falling behind 6-1 after two innings, the Wolves battled back to a 7-5 deficit after six-and-a-half frames. But the Roughriders roughed up a tiring Middleton and reliever Jeremie Oliver for six runs in the sixth.
Middleton finished with seven walks and a pair of hit batters, surrendering seven earned runs in four-and-a-third innings pitched.
"I think it was an off day for our pitchers, not an indication of their ability to throw strikes," Sequim coach Dave Ditlefsen said. "It was one of those days."
Matt Bereiter was 2-for-3 with two RBIs while Gillis and Reed Omdal each had a hit, run and steal. Jason Baker and Isaac Yamamoto had two steals each as the Wolves stole eight bases in eight tries against Port Angeles ace (and eventual game-winner) Danny Romero.
"We battled back and did some things very well," Ditlefsen said. "(Romero) has really given us a tough time in the last two years. All seven hits were against him."
The outcome was a bit of revenge for the Roughriders, who fell 14-10 to Sequim on April 9.
The testing of his team against 3A schools and several quality 2A teams like Klahowya and Kingston should serve the Wolves well in the postseason, Ditlefsen said.
"Unfortunately we don't have any hands-on scouting reports of what's going on in the Nisqually League (but) ... just by being in this Olympic League and playing some really good 2A teams, I think our schedule is grueling enough," Ditlefsen said. "Our goal is that our guys play their best no matter what opponent we're up against."
Sequim went 1-2 at the district tourney last season, topping Eatonville by a run before falling to Klahowya and Kingston on back-to-back days.
The Wolves have qualified for the district tournament each spring since 2005, going 4-7. Sequim last qualified for the state tournament in 1997 when they were in the 3A classification.

text: Industrial and Commercial FacilitiesOVERVIEW Wastewater discharges from industrial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could effect the quality of receiving waters. The NPDES permit program establishes specific requirements for discharges from industrial sources. Depending on the type of industrial or commercial facility you operate, more than one NPDES program may apply. For example, the stormwater that runs off from the property of an industrial facility or from a construction site may require an NPDES permit under the stormwater program. An industrial facility may also discharge wastewater to a municipal sewer system and be covered under the NPDES pretreatment program. The industrial facility may also discharge wastewater directly to a surface water and require an individual or general NPDES permit. Finally, many industrial facilities, whether they discharge directly to a surface water or to a municipal sewer system, are covered by effluent limitation guidelines and standards.

Since 2000, the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been growing at an annual rate of between 8%-9%, making it one of the ten highest performing economies in the world. Kazakhstan alone attracts more foreign direct investment than all other Central Asian countries together. To date, the countrys strong economic performance has been driven largely by its natural resources sector. The oil and gas sectors alone attract three quarters of foreign investment inflows. However, Kazakhstans non-energy sectors also have competitive advantages that could be potential new sources for growth.
In 2009 Kazakhstan launched a far-reaching programme to diversify its sources of foreign direct investment. To support this effort, it asked the OECD to undertake a three-year Sector Competitiveness Review. This report represents the first phase of this Review, which is an assessment and strategy to help Kazakhstan enhance the competitiveness of non-energy sectors including agribusiness, fertilizers, logistics, business services and information technology. While it acknowledges that the government has successfully implemented a first generation of business climate reforms, the report recommends that sector-specific policy barriers be further addressed. For example, policy makers could stimulate quality improvements and modernise production in some sectors by facilitating access to finance, attracting modern retailers and addressing skills gaps in the workforce.

If you've been missing the "old" Rihanna (think "SOS") you have to watch the video she's just released for her song "Where Have You Been". The clip hearkens back to the days where Rihanna was just bursting onto the scene…more like dancing onto the scene.
The video is really fun with a tribal theme. The cinematography is really well done, especially int he beginning and end of the video.
Rihanna announced the video's release on her official Facebook page, writing, "Call out to ALL of the Rihanna Navy!!! "Where Have You Been" video world premiere is now live on VEVO…!! How many video views can we get in 24 hours? Watch and SHARE to show your Navy pride!!"

Breaking the unbreakable phone
Leave it to the BBC to show us how it's done. At CES, BBC reporter Dan Simmons managed to break the display (click on the link for the video) on the seemingly indestructible Sonim XP3.2 Quest Pro. Simmons accomplished this feat after bashing the phone against the side of an aquarium in which it had previously taken a swim.
I have to hand it to Simmons. I've tested the previous Sonim XP3 Quest (we have our own video) and it survived whatever punishment we could throw at it. I dropped it 14.5 feet onto a concrete … Read more

SOCIAL CIRCLE - Early hunting seasons for some species of waterfowl will open soon, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division.
Well, my friends, we have a lot of fish in our area, both trout and bass. Most of them are too small to be legal. This happens every year when they first show up in our area.
Found from Massachusetts to Florida on the Atlantic coast and from Mexico to Florida on the Gulf Coast, redfish numbers are on the rebounds thanks to the united support provided to it by sportsmen and women around the country.
Staff report
Former Hinesville mayor and state representative Buddy DeLoach is back in the mix of Georgia state politics.
I have several fishing reports from anglers who have braved the heat recently to get out on the water.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - Whether still-hunting, stalk-hunting or squirrel-dog hunting is your preference, squirrel season started Wednesday.
WAYCROSS - Since the completion of the tagging portion of the flathead catfish project in April and as of Aug. 3, biologists and technicians have removed 2,572 flathead catfish from the Satilla River.
BRUNSWICK - One of Georgia's oldest artificial reefs known to most anglers and divers as G Reef has been renamed the "HLHA Reef" in honor of now-retired Coastal Resources Division biologist and artificial reef project coordinator, Henry Ansley.
Our fishing is improving every week. The fishing reports had bass, flounder and trout. The flounder have started to bite, and their favorite bait is minnows.
The 2007-2008 Georgia Hunting Seasons and Regulations Guide now is available, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division.
Coastal fishing continues to be slow because of the hot weather.
Georgia's State Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division is a finalist for the National Recreation and Park Association's "Gold Medal Excellence in Park & Recreation Management" award - the most prestigious award a recreation agency can achieve. Georgia shares the honor with state park systems from Utah and Tennessee.
The weather continues to stay hot, however, I believe our fishing season has started, judging from the fishing reports I have received this past week. The fishermen are catching bass, trout and flounder.
TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. – Tybee Island, Georgia, is set to host the 9th Annual Tybee Island Pirate Fest on Oct. 10-13, bringing plenty of swashbuckling family-friendly fun. Every Columbus Day weekend, Tybee Island transforms into a lively pirate village, celebrating the colorful seafaring history of the Georgia coast.
SAVANNAH, GA. -- Visitors to Savannah's Skidaway Island State Park can now sleep in air-conditioned comfort thanks to new camper cabins. The three mini-cabins each offer a screened porch, bathroom with shower, kitchen, master bedroom and kids' sleeping loft. Guests bring their own linens, cooking supplies and sense of adventure.

I've used rubber cat whiskers for years, usually doubling their thickness. These silencers are so much easier to install and silence much better. I used two sets on my string do to my bow's large poundage. I expected a loss in arrow speed with two pair, but I was surprised to see that I had no noticeable speed loss. They take a little while to fussed out and break in but overall they are great silencers. I'll never go back to rubber whiskers.

when i bought these silencers, i was really sold on the description and reviews. i have used wool, yarn, ect., but not musk ox. after reading the description and seeing the price point, i thought these must really be some kind of string silencers. when i got them and placed the silencers on my bow i found them to be attractive, very soft and light weight. when i shot my bow i found them to work no better or no worse than any other silencer. overall i am happy with the product, just not happy how much i over paid for it.

About Me Expert Archer
I tried the other wool silencers, cat whiskers and fur. These are by far the quietest. Easy to install. They do tend to fluff material off for a day or two. Heavier than the beaver fur and cat whiskers but they more than make up for it in quietness.
These actually work!

I was a little hesitant about spending the big bucks for string silencers but they were worth it. I have never experienced such a muffling effect.

Musk Ox Bow String Silencers
By Pete
from Edmonton, Alberta
I just purchased the Bear Ausable longbow and bought these at the same time to reduce the string noise. I also have the Bear Montana longbow which is very quiet. The write-up for the Ausable was that it was a fast quiet longbow. The design of the Ausable is a fairly pronounced reflex - deflex design so the bow had a bit more of a twang than I expected, more like my recurve. The Ox Bow String Silencers eliminated at least half of the string noise making it similar to the Montana without string silencers. However, I also put these string silencers on the Montana which made it whisper quiet. I have the rubber spider legs on my recurve but they don't cut the noise as well as the Ox Bow String Silencers do. I would recommend these for any bow.
great product

Works as advertised, these are quieter than my otter fur ones I used previously and seem like they inhibit the strings travel less. Kinda pricey but they work.
Silence is Golden
By Roger Ascham
from Braco, Scotland
I added the musk ox silencers to my setup some weeks back. It is difficult to make a completely independent assessment of them because I also added the stiktamers at the same time. What I can say is that the overall effect is wonderfully copacetic. Colleagues have noticed how quiet my setup is even at my recurve draw weight of 75 lbs. I recurrently hear the words "beautiful" and "elegant" on the 3D course. Silent but deadly!

Barbara Bel Geddes (October 31, 1922 – August 8, 20051) was an American actress, artist and children's author, whose career spanned six decades. She was best known for her starring role in the television drama series Dallas as matriarch Miss Ellie Ewing. Bel Geddes also starred in the original Broadway production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in the role of Maggie. Her notable films included Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958) and I Remember Mama (1948). She was the recipient of several acting awards and nominations throughout her career.
Personal life
Bel Geddes was born in New York City, the daughter of Helen Belle (née Schneider) and stage and industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes.2 She married theatrical manager Carl Sawyer (né Schreuer) in 1944; they had one daughter, Susan. They divorced in 1951. Later that year, she married stage director Windsor Lewis with whom she had a daughter, Betsy. When Lewis became ill in 1967, Bel Geddes suspended her career to care for him until his death in 1972.
Bel Geddes came to prominence in the 1946 Broadway production of Deep Are The Roots. The performance garnered her the Clarence Derwent Award, and the Donaldson Award (forerunner of the Tony Awards) presented to her by Laurette Taylor, for "Outstanding Achievement in The Theatre." From 1951 to 1953, Bel Geddes played 924 performances of the Otto Preminger hit comedy The Moon Is Blue. In 1955, she created the role of Maggie "The Cat" in Elia Kazan's original Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and in 1961 created the title role in the Jean Kerr comedy Mary, Mary which became Broadway's longest-running show with over 1,500 performances. Both roles earned her Tony Award nominations. Other highlights include John Steinbeck's Burning Bright, Edward Albee's Everything in the Garden and Silent Night, Lonely Night with Henry Fonda.
In 1952, she received the prestigious "Woman of the Year" Award from Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals, America's oldest theater company; In 1993, having appeared in fifteen Broadway productions, she was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame (located in the Gershwin Theatre in New York City), a distinction she shared with her father, stage and industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes.
Bel Geddes began her film career starring with Henry Fonda in The Long Night (1947), a remake of the 1939 French film Le Jour Se Lève. "I went out to California awfully young," she remarked. "I remember Lillian Hellman and Elia Kazan telling me, 'Don't go, learn your craft.' But I loved films." The following year, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the George Stevens classic film I Remember Mama.3
She played Richard Widmark's wife Nancy in Kazan's 1950 film noir Panic in the Streets.3 In 1958, Alfred Hitchcock cast her with James Stewart in Vertigo as the long-suffering bohemian, Midge. Bel Geddes also starred with Danny Kaye and Louis Armstrong in the screen musical The Five Pennies.
When a House Un-American Activities Committee investigation stalled her film career for a short time, Bel Geddes found new opportunity in television when Alfred Hitchcock cast her in four episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, including "Lamb to the Slaughter," in which she played a housewife who killed her husband by bludgeoning him to death with a frozen leg of lamb, cooking the murder weapon, and then serving it to the investigating police. She appeared in series such as Playhouse 90, CBS Playhouse, Riverboat, Dr. Kildare and Death Valley Days. In 1977, she starred in the highly-acclaimed production of the Thornton Wilder classic, Our Town with Hal Holbrook.
In 1978, Bel Geddes was the first performer contracted to star in Dallas. The role of the family matriarch, Miss Ellie, brought her renewed international recognition. She appeared on the series from 1978 to 1990 (absent during the 1984–85 season) and remains the only cast member to win the Emmy Award (Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress - Drama Series) and the Golden Globe (List of Golden Globe Awards: Television, Best Actress, Drama).3 In 1985 she also received Germany's Golden Camera Award.
Larry Hagman, who played J. R. Ewing, told the Associated Press: "She was the rock of Dallas. She was just a really nice woman and a wonderful actress. She was kind of the glue that held the whole thing together." In a later interview for the website "Ultimate Dallas" Hagman said: "The reason I took the show, they said Barbara Bel Geddes is going to play your mother, and I said, 'Well, that's a touch of class, you know,' so of course I wanted to work with her."
In the early 1970s, Bel Geddes underwent a radical mastectomy, an experience she relived in the 1979–80 season of Dallas. The performance garnered her the Emmy Award. She was also honored by First Lady Betty Ford for helping to raise breast cancer awareness.
On March 15, 1983, Bel Geddes suffered a severe heart attack while visiting a doctor after complaining of chest pains. She subsequently underwent quadruple by-pass heart surgery and, as a result, missed a third of the 1983–84 season.4 The following year, still contending with compromised health, she decided to step down from the role and was replaced with actress Donna Reed for the 1984–85 season. However, with the rival show Dynasty finally surpassing Dallas in the ratings, the producers made efforts to stabilize the show's slow decline. With health improved, Bel Geddes returned to the role of Miss Ellie in time for the 1985–86 season and remained until the conclusion of the series' penultimate season in 1990.
Life after Dallas
Bel Geddes retired from acting in 1990 and settled in her home in Northeast Harbor, Maine, where she continued to work as a fine artist. She was the author of two children's books, I Like to Be Me and So Do I, as well as the creator of a popular line of greeting cards. Looking back on her career, Bel Geddes told People: "They're always making me play well-bred ladies. I'm not very well bred, and I'm not much of a lady."
Bel Geddes died on August 8, 2005, at her home in Northeast Harbor, Maine at the age of 82. Her ashes were scattered from a simple wooden boat into the harbor waters bordering her home.5 At the revival of Dallas, Patrick Duffy, who played her youngest son, Bobby, in the original CBS Dallas series said: "Barbara is a big piece of our history, and it's important to me to honor her. To come back with Linda Gray as Sue Ellen and Larry Hagman in his J.R. hat, and then see the words Ellie Southworth Ewing Farlow on the gravestone made me think, 'Oh, that's right -- she's gone." "Through the whole first season, I don't think an episode goes by that Mama is not mentioned in reference to Southfork and the land."6

Octopus unveils VCT adviser charging regime
by Rachael Revesz on Jan 16, 2013 at 16:06
Octopus Investments has unveiled its adviser charging regime for Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) under the retail distribution review (RDR).
For advice received with ongoing charges, the VCT will facilitate an ongoing payment of up to 0.5% of the holding's net asset value for nine years, while the initial charge will be up to 2.5%.
For advice received without ongoing charges, the initial charge facilitated will be up to 4.5%.
For applications made through an intermediary but with no advice given, the VCT will allocate an annual 0.5% for nine years to the adviser, and up to 2.5% initial commission.
This means investors will benefit from the 30% income tax relief on the full amount of their investment before allocating a certain proportion of the funds to the adviser.
If the client agrees lower fees with their adviser, the intermediary can issue the investor with extra shares in the VCT instead.
Octopus managing director Paul Latham (pictured) said the firm wanted to find a solution that enabled investors to benefit from the full tax relief on their investment.
'This meant finding a way for them to pay adviser charges once their investment was made, rather than carving out some of their investment to pay adviser charges before it was invested,' he said.
6 comments so far. Why not have your say?
Jan 16, 2013 at 17:23
So the investor still gets tax relief on the gross amount of the investment, and the "adviser charge" is paid to the adviser by the product provider after the investment has been made.
How exactly is this any different from the pre-RDR model, other than substituting the word "commission" for the words "initial charge"?
report thisJan 16, 2013 at 22:49
@ Scroogio I assume the AMC/TER will be reduced to reflect the fact that the investment co have not had to pay commission
report thisJan 17, 2013 at 09:22
"For applications made ... with no advice given, the VCT will allocate an annual 0.5% for nine years to the adviser, and up to 2.5% initial commission."
And exactly WHY would I agree to pay an adviser for not advising me? Surely the point of adviser charging is to pay for the advice the adviser gives me? (I know that's a badly-constructed sentence, but it emphasises the point I'm trying to make). Would it be a breach of Principle 6 (TCF), or just plain fraud?
report thisJan 17, 2013 at 09:34
@ Adam Smith
I assumed that by "adviser" they actually mean "intermediary" here - for example if you bought a VCT without advice from Hargreaves, HL would still expect to be paid by the VCT provider for offering their product. I agree though it seems unfair that they still get a cut which is actually the same size as IFA would get if facilitated by the provider!
@ Adam Grant
I'm not sure the costs are lower - if the VCT provider is facilitating a 2.5% adviser charge plus 0.5% per year, and in addition taking their own cut (presumably another 2.5%) then the amount being deducted from the investment is exactly the same as it was pre-RDR!
report thisJan 17, 2013 at 09:42
Would the first provider to break ranks and offer commission on XO investment bond business please make themselves known. After all, this would mean the client receives full tax deferred status on his investment as opposed to the crappy deal he now gets with adviser charging.
report thisJan 17, 2013 at 12:41
@ Simon Kershaw
How many people do you think understand the tax implications of an investment bond enough to buy it execution-only? In my experience investment bonds have to be "sold" by an adviser - not many people spend time looking for one.

Pentagon: Budget Deal Leaves Uncertainty in Place
WASHINGTON — The reopening of the government didn't eliminate the "shadow of uncertainty" hanging over the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday.
Defense officials will continue to be challenged by the difficulties of operating under a temporary spending resolution that expires in three months, saying it will block the start of new programs and hamper military construction projects.
Department leaders also said without a modification to across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration, which will cut $50 billion from the Department budget next January, they will have to make deeper cuts to the size of the armed forces and the Pentagon civilian work force.
"In the months ahead Congress will have the opportunity to remove this shadow of uncertainty and advance a balanced long term spending bill," Mr. Hagel said.
Mr. Hagel said the budget uncertainty had national security ramifications
"Our allies are asking questions: 'Can we rely on our partnership with America? Will America fulfill its commitments and its promises?'" Mr. Hagel said. "These are huge issues for all of us."
Although many Defense Department civilians were allowed to return to work after the fourth day of the government shutdown, based on a partial appropriation passed by Congress, Mr. Hagel said morale had been badly damaged.
Robert F. Hale, the Pentagon comptroller, said the days of work lost by Defense Department civilians cost about $600 million in lost productivity. There will be other costs, including interest outlays that are due because of delayed payments as well as the expense of recalling people from training programs and then resending them.
Mr. Hale said planning Defense Department spending is difficult under the terms of a temporary "continuing resolution" and the likelihood of an additional $50 billion cut.
To prepare for cuts, Mr. Hale said, the department will slow recruiting and hiring as well as other spending programs.
"For a while, we have to hold our breath, look to the future and be as conservative as we can," he said. "It is not a good way to run a railroad."
Correction: The Pentagon comptroller's name is Robert F. Hale. An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated his first name as David.
