$600,000 Violin left in NYC Taxi-Cab Returned to Korean Prodigy
Believe it or not, that's not even the most valuable instrument ever left in a New York yellow cab. Not by a long shot. In 2001, cellist Lynn Harrell left a $4 million, 328-year-old Stradivarius in her cab, two years after Yo-Yo Ma left his $2.5 million, 266-year-old cello in a cab as well. Like Hahn-Bin, their instruments were returned to them, and they probably never left them out of their sight again.

Every ArtPrize, the walking population of Grand Rapids, Mich. metastasizes to urban proportions. For a few weeks, downtown GR is a mine field of makeshift galleries as artists compete for the popular vote that determines who will receive a cash prize.
Without fail, it sparks controversy among the GR artistic community about who benefits, the type of art ArtPrize attracts, how proud citizens want their city perceived and more. And at least one of my friends made it a deadline to move out of Grand Rapids before the third year of ArtPrize kicked off.
Mark Rumsey was the first to give it a name via The Rapidian; one theme and common discussion point in GR is the West Michigan Aesthetic.
The correlation of how long it is perceived that an art object took to make is directly proportional to its value on the WMA scale. We understand time and we value time. When something looks like it took days or weeks or months to make, then we assign it value according to the labor invested.
This suspicion speaks to winners of the last two ArtPrize: Chris LaPorte's "Cavalry" (get a sense of scale in Brian Kelly's video) and, more embarrassingly, Mia Tavonatti's "Crucifixion." These works took diligence, effort and meticulous detail. But what thought did they actually provoke? What question did they pose? In other words, what are the responsibilities that come with art as an applied label?
The most recent RadioLab short pushes this even further. It explores the beliefs of Alan Turing (father of artificial intelligence) that humans are machines, and machines are human if they claim and exhibit sentience.
At 20:16 -
James Gleick: "I think we're just machines. I think we're just made of matter… but for me, that doesn't make me feel that we're any less special. What a wonderful thing that a collection of matter created by a process of evolution that lasted billions of years, how wonderful that this process and that these little collections of matter are able to produce Cezanne's water colors and Bach's preludes. I can live with that."
Robert Krulwich: "If I built you a computer that could create equally beautiful watercolors and equally beautiful musical compositions, would you feel happier or diminished?"
JG: "I think in a way, you're asking, if you see how the trick is done, does it then vanish? Does it just become a trick, the trick being a great painting or a great piece of music? I feel the art I love is always art that I don't fully understand. There's some mystery there always. I don't quite fathom it. So if the computer is churning out a bunch of notes and you know exactly what the rules are that the computer is following and there's no mystery, how can that possibly be a great piece of music? And the answer is… we don't know how the machine is gonna do it, and when the machine produces music that is as lovely as the music you and I love, I believe it will still be unfathomable."
In a world where machines can be programmed to create works of art at the skill level of master artists, how does that change the conversation as we evaluate the merits of art?

How to extend a handlebar post considerably?
Is there an extention of some sort?
What exactly are you trying to do? I can only guess it might be some kind of above-seat-steering recumbent, which always end up needing the handlebars up in the air a ways to clear the rider's knees.
I have had luck when working on a tallbike or two with literally extending the handlebar stem with a length of pipe. I sawed the (cheapo chromed steel) stem off where it would usually enter the headset and welded on the pipe as straight as I could. The other end of the pipe was cut off at a length that would drop it into the lower frame's steerer the proper amount. I hacksawed this end of the pipe at a steep angle to replicate the wedge mechanism of a normal stem. A nut was welded into the end of the wedge piece and 5/16" threaded rod was run up through this nut and out the existing hole in the top of the modified stem, where another nut was threaded onto it to allow the wedge to be drawn tight. I sliced a discarded fork's steerer tube off and machined the inside out so it would slide over the outside of the pipe and used this to steady the top of the extension with the upper head tube's bearing race. I gan take a picture of this if I'm not doing so hot a job of painting a picture...
This system works very well for me but is not without it's headaches. For starters, the size of pipe that is closest to the .75" inside diameter of the steerer tube is about .8" in outside diameter. I had to work on the end of the pipe with sandpaper tape for quite a while to machine it down to a size that would slide (stubbornly) into the steerer tube. You could probably scare up some 3/4" OD steel tubing and avoid this problem all together, or you could weld the wedge end of the chopped stem onto the pipe and use that for the critical fit area.
There are also apparently extentions for steerer tubes, but they only go a few inches at a time. I guess they are designed for raising handlebars a bit more when you are already at the limit of the stem's adjustability. See link:

Hot answers tagged jenga
The most unstable situation is adjacent middle blocks, and in general, instabilities near the bottom of the stack are more likely to cause the tower to fall than those at the top because of the greater weight of blocks being held up by the rickety base and because of the longer moment arm.
However, it's not quite as simple as setting up a ...
If you are very dexterous, and are playing with players that are also very dexterous, realize that the math of your choices can determine who wins. Each level can have either 1 or 2 removed from it. Try to leave your opponent(s) in a situation where they have no possible moves.
For example, if there is 1 full level, and 1 level with the middle and 1 ...
According to the official 2000 version of the rules:
As play proceeds and the weight of the tower shifts, some blocks become looser than others and are easier to remove. You can touch other blocks to find a loose one — but if you move a block out of place, you must fix it (using one hand only) before touching another block.
Since this rule includes the ...
The rules on Hasbro's site say that you can touch other blocks with a single hand, and you must complete a 3 block story. I don't see why it would be unacceptable to either fix the top story with your hand directly to accept a third block, or nudge the top blocks in place with a block in your hand to complete the story. Clearly, if you are required to make a ...
Welcome to StackExchange!
You must complete each layer before starting a new one (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenga#Rules)
Only one hand at a time may be used to remove a block; both hands can be used, but only one hand may be on the tower at a time. (see the rules at BoardGameGeek.com)
I do not believe that the block dimensions vary much, except because of manufacturing error. The Wikipedia page states that the blocks are:
Each block is three times as long as its width, and one fifth as thick as its length 1.5×2.5×7.5 cm (0.59×0.98×3.0 in).
And the official website states:
A classic Jenga game consists of 54 precision-crafted, ...
Having slept on this issue (sleeping on Jenga - ouch) I've decided to change my previous answer.
The rules state you must "stack the block on top of the tower at right angles to the blocks just below it". I would contend that "stack" does not simply mean "place" - or else the rules would have used that word. Looking up a definition of "to stack", you will ...

I grew up a Celtic fan, so Jerry West always scared me. One playoff game he scored 44 against the Celts on one leg, shooting mostly from WAY downtown. If there'd been a 3 point line then, he would be the all-time scoring leader.
Jerry West: Heat win streak could 'easily' surpass Lakers record
Los Angeles Lakers legend Jerry West thinks one of the most thought-to-be untouchable records in sports could "easily" be broken.
West told reporters Thursday that he thinks the Miami Heat have an "incredible chance" of breaking the 1971-72 Lakers' record of 33 consecutive victories, a team on which West played. After Wednesday night's comeback victory in Cleveland pushed their streak to 24, the Heat need 10 more victories to break the Lakers record.
"Honestly, I think they've got an incredible chance to do it," West said, according to The Los Angeles Times. "I really do. And people say to me, 'Does it bother you?' Absolutely not. I think it's great for the league and I'm delighted obviously for my friend Pat Riley to be able to maybe replicate this not only as an executive but as a player. It's pretty special.
"If they would break it, my gosh, I think it would be a wonderful story. I have no problem with that."
West, who is now an executive with the Golden State Warriors, compared it to records like Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak or the Miami Dolphins' undefeated season being threatened.
"I think this is what makes sports so intriguing," he said, according to ESPN. "Is a number out there — DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. Will anyone ever do that? Football, the Dolphins, undefeated. A lot of people don't think those things are possible. Well, they are possible, particularly in basketball. I think you get a real unique team, and Miami has a unique team."

Nairobi, 29 May 06
Mr. Ranjit Issar, Secretary, Ministry of Urban Employment and Poverty Alleviation of the Government of India, last week signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka, UN Under Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN-HABITAT, to hold the first Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Housing and Human Settlements (APMCHHS) in the capital, New Delhi, at a date to be confirmed in November 2006.
Mr. Issar said the regional Ministerial conference would provide an opportunity to place global issues and concerns related to housing and human settlements in a specific regional context and build partnerships among Asian countries to work together to meet the challenges of rapid urban growth.
"By 2025 more than 50 percent of the population of Asia and the Pacific will be living in urban areas," the memorandum said in a preamble which explained that 11 of the world's 20 mega cities with populations of more than 10 million people are located in Asia. It said that if no action was taken to manage urbanisation in the region better, by 2020 when the global urban slum population is forecast to reach 1.4 billion, one out of two slum dwellers in the world would be from Asia.
"The major task of this conference is to address these issues," it said.
The new Asia-Pacific ministerial housing forum is being established in conformity with resolutions of the Governing Council of UN-HABITAT comprising UN member states that oversee the agency's work. The year 2005 saw the creation of a similar body for Africa called the African Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development (AMCHUD). The African inaugural meeting was held in Duban, South Africa in 2005.
In its quest to promote and exchange of experiences and best practices between countries and regions, UN-HABITAT has backed countries in Africa and Asia seeking to emulate the example set by the High-level Authorities of Housing and Urban Development in Latin America and the Caribbean (MINURVI) and establish such conferences to meet on a regular basis.
The three regional bodies will contribute in a significant manner to the implementation of paragraph 30 of the 2005 World Summit Outcome on South-South cooperation.
The memorandum said the idea is, "to provide a platform for developing common understanding among Asia and Pacific countries, on issues of housing and human settlements, to enable Asia-Pacific countries to speak with one voice at regional and international meetings, specifically, the World Urban Forum, UN-HABITAT Governing Councils and also the Commission on Sustainable Development and UN General Assembly Sessions."
They agreed that participants and the four-day inaugural meeting in New Delhi will include ministers of housing and development from the region, mayors and local authority officials, and representatives of Asia-Pacific intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, civil society, the private sector, donor agencies and financial institutions, and relevant UN bodies.

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat from a red state, has a simple message for members of Congress trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act: "Get over it. And get out of the way so I can help my people."
On day three of the government shutdown over the health care law, Beshear said he was personally offended by the partisan gamesmanship going on in Washington and delivered a speech in defense of Obamacare worthy of the president himself.
"[Lawmakers] are pouring time and money into defunding [the ACA]," he said in a speech and subsequent interview at National Journal's Countdown to Transformation event Thursday. "It is shameful they haven't invested the same time and money into trying to improve health of citizens. We need leaders who are focused on helping people, not gaining political power."
Kentucky is a unique example of a red state aggressively implementing Obama's signature health care law. Mitt Romney won more than 60 percent of the vote in the state in 2012, and it is considered firmly conservative. Yet Kentucky is the only Southern state implementing Medicaid expansion and operating its own state-based exchange under the Affordable Care Act.
Judging by the state's success thus far, Kentucky could be a key test case for how the law works when fully and enthusiastically implemented as intended.
The Kentucky Legislature is split, with a Republican Senate and Democratic House. Beshear issued an executive order setting up the state-based exchange, an implementation process different from those in other states. But Beshear feels strongly about the importance of the ACA, both for Kentuckians' health and quality of life and for business and economy of the state.
"Those who say it's a train wreck, they're on their own train," Beshear said. "Because so far, this thing is a huge success."
Currently more than 600,000 people in Kentucky—or almost one in six—are uninsured. The law will enable all of these individuals to receive coverage; 308,000 will be eligible for Medicaid with expansion, and the other 332,000 will be able to purchase coverage on the exchanges.
To determine whether Medicaid expansion was fiscally wise for Kentucky, Beshear contracted PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Studies Institute at the University of Louisville to run the numbers.
"It took six months," Beshear said. "They came back and said, Governor, you cannot afford not to do this."
The groups found that Medicaid expansion would add $15.6 billion into the Kentucky economy over the next eight years, create almost 17,000 jobs, and protect hospitals from funding cuts.
Kentucky began the education process about the law months ago, with people helping to promote the law at college campuses and fairs.
Like the federal exchanges and other state exchanges, the Kentucky online marketplace experienced its share of glitches. But while others—the federal exchange in particular—hit major snags preventing people from enrolling, the Kentucky exchange has already had clear success.
According to Beshear, the Kentucky exchange site got its first contact at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, the day the exchanges opened. In the first 48 hours, more than 118,000 individuals visited the site, more than 109,000 applicants were prescreened, more than 13,000 people began the application process, and nearly 8,300 completed an application. In addition, 122 small businesses started their application process.
Beshear said these numbers speak for themselves.
"In Kentucky, we can't afford to waste another day or another life. You don't have to like the president or like me, it's not about the president or about me. It's about you," Beshear said, adding, "I don't care if it's a Republican idea or a Democratic idea, as long as it's a good idea."

The Localizing Agenda 21 (LA21) Programme in Cuba was initiated in response to a request by the Government of Cuba to strengthen the capacity of local actors to conduct urban planning and management processes. The LA21 programme supports the strengthening of intersectoral and citizen participation and provides ways of ensuring that the planning exercise translates into concrete actions. The Cuba National Programme builds on activities initiated in 2003 with the establishment of a national capacity-building centre in Santa Clara. During 2003 the centre was rehabilitated, allowing the creation of a state-of-the-art training centre. The training centre is meant to deliver the Environment Planning and Management training course. A large training hall can accommodate up to 30 students. A computer room has been set up for specialized training. A library brings together the latest literature on the Urban Environment provided by UN-HABITAT, project partners such as the Programa de Gestión Urbana and others. An Environment Planning and Management (EPM) training course was prepared during 2003. This course was jointly prepared and delivered by the Institute of Physical Planning, the universities of La Habana and Santa Clara and the Bayamo Local Agenda Project. The diploma course, organized through a series of 10 training sessions of one week each, delivered over a period of 15 months (October 2003 to December 2004). The course was attended by 2 students from each of the 11 provincial capitals. The course provided lectures on the various steps and components of the environment planning and management process, illustrated from real life experiences of the LA21 Bayamo project. Practical exercises prepare the students in conducting Local Agenda 21 processes. Based on the experience acquired through the Bayamo Local agenda 21, the current project supports the replication of this initiative in the cities of Santa Clara, Cienfuegos and Hoguin. The project is part of the joint UN-HABITAT/UNEP Regional Strategy for the Urban Environment in Latin America and the Caribbean.
ActivitesWith the leadership of UNEP, the project is currently supporting the preparation of GEO City Reports, which will provide an overview of the relation between urban development and the environment and analyse existing mechanisms for managing the urban environment. These profiles will offer a common information base for all actors involved in the project. They will also serve as a basis to identify priority urban environment issues which will be discussed during City Consultations to be held at the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005. These Consultations, which will bring together key local and regional actors, will lead to the creation of inter-sectoral working groups around selected priority issues. These working groups will prepare issues-specific strategies and action plans and will initiate their implementation through small-scale demonstration projects.

By Lisa Johnston
New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Paul Jacobs, President and COO of Klipsch Group, Inc.
I have often pondered this question. After all, when reflecting back on bygone eras - with the added wisdom that comes with experience - poor business decisions, missed opportunities and reluctance to change are all very obvious. But are things always as obvious as they seem in real time?
Consider these questions:
I'm sure you get the picture, and, of course, these kinds of questions are endless, but have you thought how they might apply to your business today?
Given that my experience lies in the audio industry, here are the questions I've asked myself as Klipsch moves in to the future.
Today, the audio industry, as a whole, must overcome untold obstacles in order to maintain a successful position with both retailers and customers.
In the not so distant past, local and regional specialists sold high-performance audio, marketing themselves as the brands they represented and assuring consumers their storefronts sold the best possible products. This "push" mentality, which worked for many years, required highly trained sales professionals, manufacturers agreeing to limited distribution, and charging premium prices for the products as well as the mystique that comes with being a discerning customer.
This mentality, however, doesn't apply at all today because lower performance products are being touted as "the solution," with their good looks and quick installation. Plus, we're dealing with the Internet and people buying multi-thousand dollar systems without hearing them first.
But those aren't the only concerns plaguing the audio industry. We also need to ask ourselves: How does new technology, including wireless, play into the future? What will Hollywood and the record labels do about future content distribution? Will we continue toward compressed audio or will content reproduction quality become important to the masses? Will housing starts ever rebound to anything resembling the pre-meltdown levels? How will the global markets respond to new technologies? How will green initiatives impact the CE industry?
These are a lot of things to ponder. To me, it seems we have had a transformative change not just in global economies, but in the CE industry, too. In fact, I would argue that we've seen the end of an era in terms of how high-performance audio is bought and sold. So what will the new era look like?
At Klipsch Group, Inc., parent company for the Klipsch, Jamo, Mirage and Energy speaker brands, we believe form factors, proper application of available and understandable technologies, and maintenance of high-performance products will be essential.
While people have to be more cautious of how they spend their money these days, it doesn't mean they should interpret this as having to buy lower quality items. But having had the privilege of traveling the world these past 15 years, it's obvious the United States has embraced a "throw away" mentality. By this, I mean buying or leasing new cars every year or two, buying and selling houses on a regular basis, and habitually purchasing new computers, cell phones and video games.
Because we, as a country, have started to view consumer electronics as a disposable category, there's been a rise in cheap, low-quality products. Therefore, it's time for manufacturers to make a change and stop building "good enough" products.
Consider these questions:
Buying better quality not only yields a better experience, it also means spending far less over time and taking better care of the environment by not throwing items away. Companies that have found success with the "buy cheap and worry about it tomorrow" mentality will suffer greatly if such a change is made, while those of us who believe that value is not about low price, but longevity and memorable experiences, will see significant opportunities in the future.
Yes, I think you can see the end of an era while it's happening as long as you pay attention and open your mind to things you might not have in the past. While new speakers, flat-panel TVs, computers and smartphones are not necessity products, I know almost everyone would love to have them, and this gives us the great privilege of creating new concepts for a very long time.
I wish you all good luck in this exciting new era!
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

Court: Berlusconi trials stay in Milan
Monday - 5/6/2013, 8:40am  ET
ROME (AP) -- Italy's highest court has denied a defense motion to move Silvio Berlusconi's sex-for-hire trial and tax fraud appeal away from Milan.
The ruling Monday allows resumption of both trials, which are nearing verdicts.
The defense had sought to have both cases moved to the nearby city of Brescia, arguing that Milan courts are biased against the former premier. The motion was made in March as the courts sent doctors to verify an eye ailment that prevented Berlusconi from attending the trials.
Berlusconi was re-elected to Parliament in February elections, but has no ministerial role in the new cross-party government that allies his center-right with the center-left Democratic Party.
He is on trial for allegedly paying for sex with a minor, and is appealing a tax fraud conviction.

Since I do almost all of my running in the early morning, I remember a time last year when my wife was out of town and I had to stay home with my three kids, I was a nervous wreck until I was able to get my run in for the day. (Kind of sad, really...but that seems to be the nature of the beast.)

Some structures that attract bass are clearly visible to the naked eye, and practically scream, "Fish me!" Points are a prime example. Any bass angler, even one with marginal skill and experience, can locate and catch fish on something so prominent and obvious. What's more, they can easily replicate their success running from one point to another.
Likewise, locating offshore structures that are equally dramatic in character, such as the main river channel in a sprawling reservoir, is a piece of cake with today's sophisticated sonar.
Yet there's a type of structure that's so subtle, so elusive, even some of the top bass pros have difficulty locating it. And if they do, they seldom talk about it, zealously guarding its location. It's a submerged ditch, a topographical phenomenon one pro describes as the Holy Grail of bass structures.
"There's been a ton of money won on submerged ditches in major tournaments over the years, yet the pros who fish them seldom mention them," he says. "Most of the time, when interviewed after the tournament, they'll just say they caught their fish on a main-lake flat or a shallow point, but in reality the bass were stacked in an obscure little ditch that snaked across this more prominent structure.
"That's the thing about a ditch—bass will pack into 'em like commuters on a New York subway, especially in spring. If you can pinpoint the ditch, chances are you'll hit the mother lode of bass."
Ghost StructureTo most people, a ditch is the man-made trench that runs alongside a highway and collects storm runoff from the road. But many bass anglers don't realize that a network of ditches often runs across the bottom of many of the reservoirs and natural lakes they fish. More importantly, they hold bass!
Jay Yelas, one of the pro circuit's elite, is among the few who really understand just how productive these small, inconspicuous structures can be. "Ditches are especially common in large river systems," he says. "I like to think of the main river channel as an artery, tributaries running off the main channel as veins, and ditches as capillaries. They're small (just inches wide and deep), but they serve an important function: funneling water that runs off the surrounding terrain into the river system. The way this complex drainage system links together is readily visible in an aerial photo of a river."
These elusive structures can be either man-made or natural, he adds. "In highland reservoirs with a cavernous channel and banks that drop off quickly into deep water, ditches may be visible along the shore as ruts or depressions in the sides of hills. When it rains, runoff collects in the ditch and is channeled into the lake.
"What you may not realize is that the ditch you see on a sloping bank probably extends beneath the surface as well, most likely running away from shore until it intersects with a creek or river channel. It was there before the river was dammed, and it's now part of the reservoir's topography."
Man-made ditches are most commonly found in lowland lakes, especially those in agricultural regions. "Here, ditches were often dug to drain swampy areas and divert the flow of water away from crop fields to prevent flooding and erosion," says Yelas. "Man-made ditches can be a dynamite bass pattern in relatively shallow lakes in Florida, Texas and the Tennessee Valley. I've also been on a strong ditch pattern in bayous and tidal bass waters."
Ditches may be mere indentations in a slick bottom, or have some form of cover associated with them. "Those that are lined with stumps, grass or weeds are easier to locate and can hold lots of fish, but I've also caught heavy limits from ditches with little or no cover on them," he explains. "This tells me bass use them both as a migration route and an ambush point."
So why don't ditches have a higher profile as prime bass-holding structures? "Because they're so darn difficult to locate!" Yelas says. "Over time, submerged ditches fill in with silt and lose their well-defined profile. Most of them are minor structures to begin with, sometimes a mere rut on the bottom. Most of the reservoirs we fish today were constructed 40 or more years ago. After decades of siltation and bottom erosion, you're talking about looking for a needle in a haystack. No wonder some ditches are so subtle, they're hardly even there."
It doesn't take much of a ditch to attract bass, Yelas emphasizes. "During prespawn, as water temperatures rise, bass migrate from their deep winter holding areas to shallow spawning grounds via a network of pathways that include river and tributary channels and ditches," he says. "They follow a ditch running up a slow-tapering point or flat, just like a car getting off an exit ramp on an interstate highway. Often large numbers of bass will stage along these ditches, waiting for the water to warm up enough for them to move into shallow spawning coves.
"Typically the most reliable ditch bassin' occurs in spring when the water temp is in the 50s, but I usually start checking 'em anytime there's a quick rise in the lake's temp following a few days of unseasonably warm weather, or after a warm spring rain."
A shallow ditch often becomes a sanctuary during prespawn cold fronts, Yelas adds. "On mild early-spring days, bass scatter across a big piece of structure like a stump flat and forage for crayfish, shad or bluegills. But when the inevitable frontal passage occurs, they'll pack into a nearby ditch and lay low until conditions improve.
"Most anglers think bass always back off into a deep channel during a spring front, but I've caught 'em in ditches that were only a foot deeper than the surrounding terrain. Just a slight depression is all it takes to attract them."
Finding The NeedlePinpointing ditches is a matter of paying close attention to your sonar screen, and more importantly, studying the terrain surrounding the area you're fishing, according to Steve Dodson, one of Tennessee's savviest bass fishermen. "You hardly ever find ditches on a topo map," he says. "You've got to rely on your powers of observation."
Dodson's Triton is equipped with a Lowrance X15 on the bow and a LMS480 on the console. "I tend to pinpoint ditches more easily with the bow unit because the transducer is mounted on the trolling motor, right under my feet," he explains. "I start by idling into an area that links deep and shallow water, like a main-lake cove or a big tributary flat, and scanning the shoreline for any signs of a depression or rut running along the bank or down a hillside and entering the water.
"When I see something on shore that looks promising, I shut down the outboard and use the electric motor and sonar for a closer inspection. Cruising slowly in a lazy S-pattern, watching the screen for any sign of a dip or depression and tossing out buoys to mark the depth change, I can zero in on the ditch."
Knowing what to look for is essential, Dodson says. "Most anglers conjure up an image of a roadside ditch, but they usually aren't anywhere near that well-defined. I've fished ditches on Kentucky Lake that were 15 feet deep and 12 feet across, but this is extreme. A good ditch can be a foot across and mere inches deep. In fact, I prefer fishing the silted-in ditches common in older reservoirs because they go unnoticed by the vast majority of bass anglers. Get on one of these and you can fill the livewell in no time."
Precise PresentationsThough locating a subtle, imprecise ditch on a vast flat or point is a major piece of the puzzle, fishing it correctly is just as critical. A variety of lures will trigger strikes from ditch bass, according to Yelas and Dodson, but particular presentations work much better than others.
Diving cranks: "Cast a big- or medium-billed crankbait across the ditch, then root it down the drop," says Yelas. "Hold the rodtip low and steady and use the reel handle to grind the bait into the bottom.
"The lure will careen like a fleeing crayfish, triggering reaction strikes from sluggish bass. If the water is murky, choose a chartreuse or firetiger crankbait pattern, which mimics a small bluegill."
Lipless cranks: "I like to burn one of these noisy baits down the ditch, stopping occasionally and letting it sink on a tight line," Dodson says. "Bass suck the lure in as it's falling. Red is an awesome early-spring color for these lures."
Jig-and-pig combo: "They're my standby ditch lures during severe spring cold fronts," says Yelas. "Bump them down the drop and hop them around and through cover like a craw. You can't beat black-and-blue in the spring."
Tubes: "When the water temperature is bumping 60 degrees and bass are about ready to spawn, a tube hopped through a shallow ditch will get your string stretched big time!" Yelas says.
Spinnerbaits: "The water is often murky due to spring rains, so I'll use a hard-thumpin' spinnerbait with a big willow leaf or Colorado blade. Flash isn't as important now as vibration," Dodson explains. "Cast the lure across the ditch so your retrieve slices it at an angle. Slow-roll it, speeding the retrieve slightly when you feel the lure contact bottom, then slowing down as it crosses the drop-off. Let the lure flutter down into the ditch on a tight line."
Other artificials the anglers recommend for probing ditches during prespawn include a finesse worm rigged on a jig head with the hookpoint exposed, a heavy metal tailspinner for big, deep ditches and a suspending jerkbait if the water is clear to slightly stained.
Worth The EffortInstead of targeting the same easy-to-find structures you've relied on for springtime bass in the past, put time and effort into locating submerged ditches. Be forewarned, though. Besides a good sonar unit and a set of marker buoys, there's one other thing you'll need—perseverance. In fact, you'll need more than most bass anglers are willing to muster.
It will be well worthwhile, however. More than likely, you'll be among the very few anglers to ever find and fish these spots. Once you've unlocked the mystery of submerged ditches, you're practically guaranteed to tap into more and bigger bass than you ever dreamed possible.

Alabama guide and pro angler Jimmy Mason has been smack in the middle of the excitement surrounding this cool new way to catch bass.
Late spring and early summer provide some of the best opportunities of the year to catch bass in shallow water with a spinnerbait. The reason is because bream as well as shad, both prime forage for bass, have moved shallow to spawn, and bass are taking advantage of it.

"Sweet Caroline" is a soft rock song written and performed by American artist Neil Diamond and officially released on September 16, 1969, as a single. It was later released on December 9, 1972 as a part of Diamond's Hot August Night album. There are three distinct mixes of this song. The original mono 45 mix had a loud orchestra and glockenspiel compared to the stereo version on the Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show LP. The third version was a remix found only on the initial CD release of Diamond's His 12 Greatest Hits. This version has the orchestra mixed down very noticeably and has the background vocals mixed up. It has a longer fade as well. The song reached #4 on the Billboard chart and eventually went platinum for sales of one million singles.[1]
In the autumn of 1969, Diamond performed "Sweet Caroline" on several television shows. It later reached #8 on the UK singles chart in 1971. In his 2007 interview, Diamond revealed the inspiration for his song was John F. Kennedy's daughter, Caroline, who was eleven years old at the time.[2][3] Diamond sang the song to her at her 50th birthday celebration in 2007.[4]
The song has sold 1,745,000 digital downloads as of April 2013.[5]
On December 21, 2011, in an interview on the CBS Early Show, Diamond said that a magazine cover photo of Caroline Kennedy as a young child on a horse with her parents[6] in the background created an image in his mind, and the rest of the song came together about five years after seeing the picture.
"Sweet Caroline" is popular at sporting events. Fenway Park, home of Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox, has played the song since at least 1997, and it has been played at every game in the middle of the eighth inning since 2002.[7] On opening night of the 2010 season at Fenway Park, the song was performed by Diamond himself.
On April 16, 2013, the day after the Boston Marathon bombings, the New York Yankees—longtime Red Sox rivals—announced they would play the song during their home game, preceded by a moment of silence, as a tribute to the victims.[8] On Saturday, April 20, 2013, during the 8th inning of the Red Sox-Kansas City game in Fenway Park, Neil Diamond led the crowd in a rendition of the song. The song was sung at sporting events across the country after the Boston Marathon bombings, in efforts to show solidarity with those affected by the tragedy. It was also played right before the start of the Hamburg Marathon in Hamburg, Germany, on Sunday, April 21, 2013, subsequent to a minute of silence.[9] The song was also played before the start of the Stockholm Marathon in Stockholm, Sweden, on Saturday, June 1, 2013, as a tribute to those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings.
On Thursday, April 25, 2013, Sweet Caroline was played following a tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings during the NFL Draft. Diamond has announced that he will donate all royalties from sales of the song since the marathon bombings to the One Fund Boston to help the people most affected by the bombings.[10] Diamond said that sales of the song surged nearly 600 percent in the week after the bombings, to 19,000 copies, up from 2,800 the week before.[11]
At Hong Kong Rugby Sevens[edit]
"Sweet Caroline" is also one of the most popular song in the biggest Rugby Sevens event in the world, the Hong Kong Sevens.
The Hong Kong Rugby Sevens is traditionally one of if not the biggest Rugby Sevens event in the world. As such, there is a tremendous party atmosphere, with the involvement of the entire rugby-playing community. For spectators, particular emphasis on the South Stand, where hordes of rugby fans dress up and dance for most of the duration. Activities that typically ensue as the weekend progresses include the throwing of empty beer jugs around the South Stand, Mexican waves, and streakers running across the pitch. The song is played every year at the event. And the crowd, especially the famous South Stand crowd, would always sing along. The song has also been credited as the "unofficial" Hong Kong Rugby Sevens South Stand Anthem.
Sweet Caroline was sung live by Neil Diamond on July 16, 2013, during the 8th inning of the Major League Baseball All Star Game. (New York's Citi Field)
The University of Pittsburgh also has a long standing tradition of singing the song at their home football games.[12] Pitt students have made it "Pitt-centric" by replacing the repeating phrase "So good" of the original song with "Go Pitt" and the "Ba ba ba" of the original with, "Let's Go Pitt."
WVU has their own rendition of the song, in which the words, "Eat Shit Pitt" are sung after the words, "Sweet Caroline" during every melody.
The NFL Carolina Panthers have played the song for the last several years as a reference to "Carolina".

Interior light & side mirrors not working
Posted 04 March 2009 - 10:19 PM
I have a slight problem with my Ford Focus V reg - the other day my interior light stopped working so I tested the bulb to make sure that was ok and it was fine. I then looked through my manual to find that the side mirrors are on the same fuse, so I tried them and they weren't working either.
I checked the fuse behind the glove box to find it had blown so I tried another one in there but it's still not working.
The fuse guide is different in the glove box compared to the one in my manual - which one do I read from?
Anyone have any ideas on how to get it up and running again?

just read from the fuse box. It should have diagrams on it to indicate which fuse is used for what. my guess is that you took out the wrong one.
i would double check

Posted 05 March 2009 - 07:37 PM
The fuse you replaced - have you checked it again to make sure it hasn't blown straight away?
Just checked my Mk1 Haynes manual and it does say fuse 35, 7.5A. I've also checked the Mk1.5 manual and that says the same. Too dark to go check the diagram in the car at the moment but a lot of the symbols on there are a bit non-descript. I'd stick my neck out and say its definitely fuse 35.
