LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man was in the wrong place at the wrong time when officers showed up at a home to arrest another man and found an active meth lab.
Police say a 3-year-old child was present in the home in the 300 block of north 23rd Street when officers showed up around 5 p.m. on Dec. 28 to serve warrants on 30-year-old Robert Dayton.
That's when LMPD investigators say another man, 21-year-old Dustin Lynch, tried to sneak out the back door to hide a one-pot meth lab.
Police also found drug scales and dangerous chemicals used to make meth.
Detectives say Dayton had a needle and pipe in his front pocket, and tried to hide three bags of meth in a closet.
Both men are charged with manufacturing meth, trafficking in a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with physical evidence.
Dayton is also charged with endangering the welfare of a minor.

Jeff Utecht wonders why those of us populating the Blogger Café find it more engaging than many of the sessions. Well for one, you have a group of the most knowledgeable edtech people from all over the world in the same place, at the same time sharing and mashing all that knowledge and enthusiasm – and that's powerful and addictive. You aren't tied to "the topic†of a session – you can pick and choose and blend "topicsâ€.
More intriguing to me is how do we replicate "Bloggers Café†on the web? Of course the answer is you can't – Blogger's Café has no time zone issues (if you've ever wanted to do a Skype session with other places in the world you know how difficult time zones are to deal with), it has no connectivity, platform or software issues. Sharing is immediate and not bound by what you can see or hear or feel on your computer.
This is the first "Café†and no one could anticipate its allure and how it has leveraged the entire conference. But it does then beg the question – how could we capture any of its power over the net? Skype or Elluminate are good tools for connecting … but the time zone issue clouds them. Wikis, blogs, feeds, and so forth all have their place – could they be mashed in some way to capture any of the magic of this place? It would be more than worth it to try … so you do it … you have the time, don't you? Hmmm … yep that's the rub. What new web 2.0 (3.0 actually) app could we come up with that would do this – you'll be a gazillionaire if you come up with it and develop it because this is way too powerful and meaningful.
Jeff Utecht, Chris Lehman, Darren Draper, John Pederson, Janice Stearns and I Skype-chatted a great session by Will Richardson just now – Dean Shareski, Clarence Fisher, Bill Fitzgerald and others joined from as far away as Canada – here we were live Skype-Chatting Will's preso and sharing it with people thousands of miles away.
Afterwards Chris Lehman may have captured the essence of "Blogger's Café†when he said, "Blogger's Café†is the reflection time not present in the sessions.†We all literally said, "AHHHH!â€
Here's to another example of "messy learning!â€

Two UFC belts are on the line at UFC 165 this Saturday in Toronto. UFC Light Heavyweight champion Jon Jones and UFC interim Bantamweight champ Renan Barao are both defending their titles. But we're not here to talk about the big fights. This here is a look ahead at the less significant bouts on the undercard, the four fights on the Fox Sports 1 preliminary card.
Let's do it.
Lightweight Mike Ricci vs. Myles Jury
Two Ultimate Fighter veterans headline the FS1 broadcast. 27-year-old Mike Ricci (8-3, 1-1 UFC) was a finalist on season 15 but he has sputtered a bit in the big leagues. 24-year-old Myles Jury (12-0, 3-0 UFC) was a bit of a bust on season 16 but he's turned it on in the Octagon.
Ricci is perhaps best known for losing via KO to current Bellator Featherweight champ Pat Curran but the Tristar Gym product will have the home field advantage against Jury at UFC 165. That will pretty much be the only advantage he has.
Look for Jury to dominate the take down game and use his top position to batter Ricci with efficient ground and pound.
Prediction: Jury by decision.
Bantamweight Ivan Menjivar vs. Wilson Reis
It may seem like the veteran Menjivar (25-10, 4-3 UFC) has been fighting forever, but he's only 31 years old. He'll be facing Bellator veteran and BJJ star Wilson Reis (16-4, 0-0 UFC) this Saturday. Menjivar is coming off a tough loss to Urijah Faber at UFC 157 and had been set to face Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto, but the injury bug pulled the Kid from the card and gave Reis his chance.
Menjivar is well-rounded, canny and brutal. Reis is a good wrestler with excellent jiu-jitsu. Reis is 4-0 in smaller promotions after being cut loose by Bellator following a 3-3 run with the #2 promotion. Despite Menjivar being tapped for the first time in his long career last time out, don't expect Reis to repeat the feat. Menjivar is too experienced, too savvy and too big (2" height advantage) to lose this one.
Prediction: Menjivar by decision.
Welterweight Chris Clements vs. Stephen Thompson
It's a battle of traditional martial arts masters as Thompson (7-1, 2-1 UFC) meets Clements (11-4, 1-0 UFC) in a karate vs. taekwondo bout. Thompson made a big splash in his UFC debut, winning KO of the Night at UFC 143 but he hit a brutal speed bump in a decision loss to Matt Brown. The 30-year-old Thompson redeemed himself somewhat by clinching and mugging Nah-shon Burrell at UFC 160 for a unanimous decision win.
The 37-year-old Clements is only nominally undefeated in the UFC because his UFC 149 opponent Matt Riddle failed a post-fight drug test after choking Clements out in the third round. Clements may be the more powerful striker but I think Thompson has the more complete overall game.
Prediction: Thompson by decision
Bantamweight Mitch Gagnon vs. Dustin Kimura
Canadian Gagnon (9-2, 1-1 UFC) will enjoy home field advantage against the Hawaiian Kimura (10-0, 1-0 UFC), but at the risk of repeating myself, that's about the only advantage he'll hold. Kimura is taller, more massive and probably stronger. Both men are the kind of one-dimensional submission specialist that rarely thrive at the highest levels of the sport.
That may lead cynics like myself to brace for a bad kickboxing match, but should the fight go to the ground, look for some entertaining scrambles as both men look for the submission.
Prediction: Kimura by submission

Popular Music and Society, 2nd Edition
288 pages
May 2007, Polity
The textbook begins by examining the ways in which popular music is produced, before moving on to explore its structure as text and the ways in which audiences understand and use music. Packed with examples and data on the contemporary production and consumption of popular music, the book also includes overviews and critiques of theoretical approaches to this exciting area of study and outlines the most important empirical studies which have shaped the discipline.
Topics covered include:
* The contemporary organisation of the music industry;
* The effects of technological change on production;
* The history and politics of popular music;
* Gender, sexuality and ethnicity;
* Subcultures;
* Fans and music celebrities.
For this new edition, two whole new chapters have been added: on performance and the body, and on the very latest ways of thinking about audiences and the spaces and places of music consumption.
This second edition of Popular Music and Society will continue to be required reading for students of the sociology of culture, media and communication studies, and popular culture.

- References
- A new edition of a popular and well respected textbook
- Has been thoroughly revised and updated, with over a third of the book being new material and including a new final chapter on new technologies and everyday life consumption of music
- Pitched at an introductory level, with lots of examples, extracts and figures for illustration
- Designed to map as required reading on popular music courses, which are usually found in media and cultural studies or sociology departments
"A useful introductory textbook designed for undergraduate-level students of popular music, media and cultural studies and sociology. It reviews a vast range of sociological research in a palatable form, with informative examples, illustrations, case studies, press cuttings, figures and lengthy quotes."
Sociological Review
"Brian Longhurst provides a comprehensive view of contemporary popular music. He shows its role in shaping fan scenes and sub-cultures. He sees it as text to be read in the lyrics, but also through dance, the body and political context. And he exposes the commercial machine that determines which songs and genres do, and do not, get wide exposure. This work will be a prime resource for students and scholars alike for years to come."
Richard A. Peterson, Vanderbilt University
"This revised and updated edition of Popular Music and Society contains new chapters to take into account the impact of theories of performativity and the body on popular music studies and the role of music in everyday life in a post-subcultural age. The book is a model of clarity and incisive thought, for which students will be eternally grateful."
Helen Thomas, London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London
"A thoughtful and systematic introduction, full of up-to-date information, this book speaks simultaneously to students of socio-musical analysis and to all of us for whom music matters."

News: Jay-Z Reveals Father's Alcohol Struggles, "He Was Gone"
Monday, Nov 14, 2011 12:20PM
Rap mogul Jay-Z opens up about the distant relationship he had with his late father, Adnis Reeves, and how his battle with alcohol ultimately took his life in the new GQ Magazine.
Within the cover feature, Jay speaks candidly on his late father.
Reeves loved all the things Jay-Z loves today-- sports, food, and especially music. He had the best record collection in the neighborhood. ... But when his brother was murdered, Reeves imploded. Slipped into alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse. "He was gone," Jay says. "He was not himself." Jay's mother, Gloria Carter, tried to push him to see his son; there were meetings scheduled that Reeves didn't show up for. They didn't see each other again until 2003. "[I talked about] what it did to me, what it meant, asked him why. There was no real answer. There was nothing he could say, because there's no excuse for that. There really isn't. So there was nothing he could say to satisfy me, except to hear me out. And it was up to me to forgive and let it go." By then the doctors had told Reeves to quit drinking, and Reeves had kept on drinking, and a month after he and Jay had that conversation--which Jay wrote about on The Black Album's "Moment of Clarity"--he died. (GQ)
In 2009, Jay spoke to renowned television host Oprah Winfrey about his late father.
"My mom had set up a meeting with [my late father] and I didn't want to do it. I had so many disappointments, 'You were supposed to come see me when I was younger.' ... I got a chance to really tell him everything that's on my mind, how I felt, how him leaving made my feel and we dealt with it and from there I was able to free myself, it allowed me to express myself and bring people in again..." ("The Oprah Winfrey Show")
On Jay's Black Album record, "Moment of Clarity," he reflects on his father's passing.
"Pop died, didn't cry, didn't know him that well/Between him doing heroin and me doing crack sales/Put that in the eggshell, standing at the tabernacle/Rather the church, pretending to be hurt wouldn't work/So a smirk was all on my face/Like "d*mn, that man's face is just like my face"/So pop, I forgive you for all the sh*t that I lived through/It wasn't all your fault, homie you got caught/Into the same game I fought, that Uncle Ray lost/My big brothers and so many others I saw/ I'm just glad we got to see each other/Talk and re-meet each other/Save a place in heaven 'til the next time we meet forever!" ("Moment of Clarity")
The rap mogul is expected to be a father next year. as his wife, singer Beyonce Knowles is expected to give birth to their first child.
"I'm excited! I think that is pretty easy," Jay explained. "Someone emailed me this morning and said 'Some people climb the ladder and grab the ladder. And some people pull more people up the ladder and you are a person who pulls more people up the ladder.' I was very humbled by that." (E! Online)

SPOKANE, Wash. (March 17, 2013 – www.GoZags.com) – Gonzaga University baseball dropped its series finale 9-3 to University of San Francisco Sunday at Patterson Baseball Complex and Washing Trust Field, but won the weekend series two games to one. It was a close game through six innings but the Dons distanced themselves with seven runs in the last three frames.
The Zags fall to 11-6-1 overall and are 2-1 in the West Coast Conference. San Francisco improves to 8-11 and 1-2 in WCC.
San Francisco was the first team on the board. With two outs in the top of the second and a runner at second base, Bob Cruikshank singled down the middle putting the Dons up 1-0. USF would continue to threaten in the inning by getting two more runners on but starter Derek Callahan (1-1) escaped by getting a weak fly out to right field.
A USF homerun in the fourth inning gave the Dons a 2-0 lead but Gonzaga would cut it to one with a run in the fifth. With Runners on the corners with two outs and Cabe Reiten at the dish, San Francisco starter Christian Cecilio threw over to first base to catch Mitchell Gunsolus in a pickle.
While the Dons chased down Gunsolus, Cory LeBrun at third base was able to score before the out putting GU on the board.
Gonzaga scored two runs in the last three innings but it did not match the seven by USF. Gunsolus tripled down the right field line brining in a run in the seventh and Jimmy Sinatro singled in a run in the ninth.
The hit and RBI were both a collegiate first for Sinatro.
Gonzaga has a short turnaround before its next game. The Zags will face local rival Washington State University Tuesday in Pullman for a 6 p.m. first pitch.

Speculations The Fifty Discussions of the Future
Speculations the Fifty Discussions of the Future
Triple Canopy is pleased to announce Speculations ("The future is ______"), fifty days of lectures, discussions, and debates about the future, as part of EXPO 1: New York at MoMA PS1. Speculations will take place from May 12 to July 28, in a structure created by artist José León Cerrillo and in an installation designed by artist Adrián Villar Rojas. Participants include Laurie Anderson, Arjun Appadurai, Jacob Appelbaum, David Auerbach, Ray Brassier, Ted Chiang, Jace Clayton, Adam Cohen, John Crowley, Ruth DeFries, Samuel Delany, Silvia Federici, Peter Frase, Rivka Galchen, Alex Gourevitch, David Graeber, Group Theory, N. Katherine Hayles, Myung Mi Kim, Katie Kitamura, Josh Kline, Benjamin Kunkel, Ajay Kurian, Rachel Kushner, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Marie Lorenz, Danny Marcus, Mary Mattingly, Joseph McElroy, Maureen McHugh, Yates McKee, Mileece, John Miller, Naeem Mohaiemen, Evgeny Morozov, Ted Nelson, Trevor Paglen, Ashwin Parameswaran, Laura Poitras, Fatima Al Qadiri, Srikanth Reddy, Ben Rivers, Kim Stanley Robinson, Carne Ross, Norman Rush, Saskia Sassen, Astra Taylor, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Ellen Ullman, Kathi Weeks, and Ben Wizner. The full schedule will be announced soon.
We know all the ways the world will end. And yet, we continue. Our action in the present implies an optimism about the future, even if that optimism is skeptical, worried, or dark. For Speculations ("The future is ______"), Triple Canopy is inviting writers, artists, scientists, activists, economists, and technologists to bet on futures they want to see realized and to describe them as clearly as possible, while considering what demands these futures make on the present. The speculations will take the form of daily lectures and debates in Villar Rojas's installation and discussions within the structure created by Cerrillo.
All Speculations participants will be filling out a standard questionnaire about their future and its demands on the present, for eventual publication. The public is also invited to speculate on the future and reconsider the present by answering the questionnaire, which will be available all summer at MoMA PS1.
Mondays, Thursdays (except July 4), and Fridays
One speaker will give a two-part presentation, each part an hour long. The first part, a seminar, taking place at 2 p.m., will be a discussion of a historical speculation on the future—a short text or other work that the speaker has found generative. The second part, a talk or lecture, taking place at 4 p.m., will present the speaker's own speculation on the future, to be followed by a Q&A.
Saturdays (through June 22), Sundays, and Thursday, July 4
Weekend days and July Fourth will have a wider range of formats: debate, conversation, keynote, performance, etc. Generally, sessions will begin at 3 p.m. (times will vary) and last for up to two hours.

Grijalva: Debate on immigration may take time
February 08, 2013 9:58 PM
Congress could begin debate within six months on an immigration reform measure that could give millions of undocumented immigrants a path toward legal residency in the United States, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva predicts.
But a vote by Congress on any reform bill is not likely to come until just before the end of the year, the Tucson Democrat said during a recent visit to Somerton.
Grijalva, whose district includes the southern half of Yuma County, said any measure that advances through Congress will not confer any automatic benefits for immigrants.
There will be many people who won't qualify, either because they have committed some crime or because they can't demonstrate that they have roots here aside from the fact of being in the country.
The central issue of this reform is to unify families where, for example, the children are U.S. citizens but the parents have been deported. The process is to unify families.
The applicants for legal status, aside from having to pay fines, will have to meet certain requirements for legal residency, he added.
In the wake of the November elections, Grijalva said, support in Congress for immigration reform has increased from less than 50 percent of lawmakers to nearly 60 percent.
But in the event Congress does not act on the issue, he added, President Obama has the option of taking executive action to enact immigration reform, as he did last summer when his administration suspended deportations of undocumented youths for two years to give them time to apply for legal residency.
Grijalva said he and other lawmakers will visit their districts to try to line up broad-based community support for immigration reform amid what he expects will be a drawn-out debate over the subject in Congress.
It's going to be a process of almost seven months, he said. Right now, we don't have any concrete proposal. We are practically starting from scratch.

Chronic food insecurity in Sudan threatens lives, livelihoods and stability. Due to prolonged conflict, environmental deterioration, trade restrictions and other natural and man-made disasters such as drought and floods, many of Sudan's people are at risk of food insecurity.
USAID 's Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) provides timely food security information for Sudan and other countries that allows donors to monitor emerging crises and respond to needs early.. As part of the early warning system, FEWS NET identifies populations affected by food insecurity and describes the underlying factors in regular quarterly forecasts and occasional alerts that highlight immediate concerns.
USAID also supports activities that strengthen the abilities of Sudanese organizations to recognize and manage food insecurity threats. In 2011, FEWS NET helped to define national livelihood zones, which are important in analyses and presentations of food security. In 2012, FEWS NET will take responsibility for Sudan's Food and Agriculture Market Information System, which collects key information on major agricultural commodities, trade and investment opportunities in Sudan.

I have been buying wigs since I was 18 and that was many decades ago. My natural hair color has now changed to the gray, but I chose the Jaclyn Smith Calla Wig style in color 18/22 (Light Ash Brown/ Light Blonde Frosted) which if you compare to the Eva Gabor line is close to the GL 15-26. Don't be fooled by the product color swatch - as the color is really blonde more than you might think. I am a business executive in the television broadcast industry. This wig is a perfectly modern style to wear with my everyday business attire of skirt /and pant suits. I just love this wig. It is the best ever!

Pretty color and realistic looking!
I think it it is pretty but too small. I really have to pin it on tightly as I feel it might fall off. The service/delivery was very good.

Comments about Paula Young Calla Wig by Jaclyn Smith:
I travel back and forth between The Republic of Panama and Pennsylvania. My hair in Panama is unbelievably crazy, out of control. I bought the honey blond, matches my own hair exactly, and it looks more like real hair than the "un-real" mess my own hair becomes in Panama. I found that a lot of Americans were wearing wigs there at parties, etc. Many ladies were happy to share their secret with me for stress free living in the humidity. Now I wear it in Pennsylvania, too. I also just purchased the Blake style in the same color, hope that one works out as well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love this wig!
By Math Mom

I love this style! The easy flip looks great right out of the box and keeps looking good for several months. I have found no other styles that look this natural and keep looking good for this long in 20 years of wearing wigs.
Love it! Wish my own hair was the same.

By Crazy Blonde

This Calla Wig was ready to wear right out of box. I usually have to take my new wigs to my hairdresser and get them trimmed on the bangs, but not this style.
Really like this one...............
By Wigged out
from Ohio
This wig has a lot going for it. I have ordered several of this style, and some had "issues", like sides too short, top not natural looking, etc, but I sent those back and re-ordered and have gotten several really good ones. The good ones are great! Can be made to look very natural with just water spritzing. I wear it over and over and just spritz w/water and good to go! Washed really well too. Fine out of box just trimmed bangs a bit. Luv the carmelized brown color. Very natural golden brown, not too dark. I may order even more in case it ever gets discontinued. Wish PY had more styles similar to this one.
Wildflower Honey Beautiful Color
By Just out of the Salon
from Central OR
A lovely quality wig with warm brown/blonde color and as pictured in catalog.Rooted wigs capture todays fashion style. It is old school thinking according to most stylists that women over 40 only look good in ash tones. Wearing wigs for a number of years due to inherited hair loss. My hair is still healthy and shinny just not much of it. I do not agree with complaints of wigs being to shinny, I like them and they look like youthful healthy hair. My mom wore wigs too, back in the day when wigs were Thick ,Dull and Curly styles only, everyones idea of a wig. Put some powder on a new wig to dull it and remember, it will loose the shine after some washing and wearing anyway. Returning the Calla wig sadly because it was to short of style for me and I had purchased it on sale. P.Y. new Celebrity wig lines offer the updated rooted styles and improved colors but way too expensive for me.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Ongoing efforts to improve storm water drainage in Toledo will soon have a big impact on 243 property owners, as FEMA has approved changes to its federal flood map.
For the past eight years, Sandra McIntosh and her family have lived in their west Toledo home and paying for expensive flood insurance coverage.
"The water don't trouble us. It don't trouble us," McIntosh said. "We pay for it, so it's like a waste of money."
Next month, Sandra and many other homeowners living near Peterson Ditch will be taken off the federal flood map, after FEMA approved letters of map revision submitted by the city.
Toledo Engineering Services Administrator Scott Sibley says Peterson Ditch has received $3.9 million worth of improvements.
"Based on work we've done on our system and based on better information," Sibley said. "These flood maps are developed on data, in some cases 15, 20 years old."
Areas near Williams Ditch will also be removed from the flood map after $1 million worth of improvements have been made. Affected property owners will soon receive a letter from the city.
"Most of these homeowners are required to carry flood insurance by their mortgage companies. They no longer will be required once they've been removed from the floodplain, however, carrying that flood insurance would still be an option."
FEMA is also reviewing a request to remove another 450 homes from the flood map which are part of the Shantee Creek drainage area, in parts of north and west Toledo.

As my good friend and local whiskey spirit guide (pun not intended, but I'm not editing it out, so let's all enjoy it for what it is) Sku noted on his excellent blog, Sku's Recent Eats, I've been lax in addressing the ice cream content this site promises. Well, I've actually been working on it. Since he called my bluff, I think it's time to make good.
But first, a word on the origin of the name. Several months ago, after a great serving of Macallan 18, I knew that a little vanilla ice cream would perfectly settle things down and complement the flavors of the whisky. My wife recoiled in horror at my (serial) pairing of scotch and ice cream. Some days later, we were talking about blogging and I'd mentioned my desire to a blog. She said I should name it "Scotch and Ice Cream". The name stuck, and when things finally launched, I couldn't deny it.
I'm sure we've all tried — or at least seen — several whiskey-influenced ice creams by this point. One of my favorites has been Jeni's Ice Cream, who makes a really good whiskey ice cream that balances bourbon flavors nicely. My wife also recently made a Bushmill's ice cream for her coworkers that was great. This all pointed in the obvious direction: Ice cream made from scotch whisky.
I'm a firm believer that anything worth doing is worth overdoing, and this was one of the best things to overdo. Instead of some dull, middle of the road, bland whiskey, this called for one of the biggest, baddest, boldest whiskies out there: Ardbeg Ten. The pure peat attack of Ardbeg seemed like an interesting and challenging whiskey to tame.
My wife (who has her own blog that I enjoy reading and is vastly less nerdy than my own) worked from the following recipe:
- 1/3 corn syrup (used due to our lack of honey in this case)
- 1 & 1/3 cups whipping cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup Ardbeg Ten
The end result: a slightly yellow and light, airy ice cream…. that just happened to smell like a fresh pour of Ardbeg Ten. The first bite was surprisingly dry – a not altogether pleasant mix of dairy and peat. The smoke is quite intensely strong and dry against the creamy ice cream base. It's so dry that at times it verges on being slightly chemical in taste. There's a slight leather taste after a while.
If you're guessing that this wasn't a successful experiment, so far, I'd agree. This is not an ice cream as is that you'd scarf down half a pint of.
The next experiment was to try and pair it with two other sweet tastes. The first was simple: honey. After making the ice cream, we happened to have enough honey on hand to complement a small scoop of the Ardbeg cream.
The mix was much more promising: a light mix of sweet, almost floral honey and the Ardbeg peat that couldn't be missed. The first spoonful was a very solid mix: there was a sharp kick of the Ardbeg, but it was almost immediately balanced by the rich, straightforward sweetness of the honey. The two elements were almost a perfect complement. At moments, one of the flavors would be dominant, but it was quickly balanced by the other.
This seemed to be a much better compliment.
The final test was to use a light spread of the Ardbeg over a chocolate cake. The chocolate cake in question was an old standby: Five minute chocolate cake in a mug. A small amount of ice cream was added to the top of it; not at all unlike the amount you'd get if you ordered a small chocolate cake a la mode. As you'd expect, the smell was dominated by the scent of fresh-baked chocolate.
The mix of chocolate and Ardbeg was a good one. The strength of the chocolate cake dominated the palate; the bittersweet flavor of the chocolate being offset dramatically by the Ardbeg. As things settled down, the chocolate and Ardbeg tastes became less integrated and the more chemical flavor of the Ardbeg became a little more present. Unfortunately, this wasn't a great change in things.
Ultimately, it's an interesting experiment. If I were to alter the recipe, I would likely make sure we used honey instead of corn syrup; I'd also use slightly less Ardbeg in hopes of cutting the extreme dryness of it.
I can't say it was a successful experiment but it was definitely a fun one.
Stay tuned for more experiments. They'll come around from time to time. If you have any suggestions; I'm all ears. I will note that Usuikyou is strictly off limits in this case.

Stand-up fishermen targeting big yellowfin tuna aboard San Diego's long-range boats expect to spend more time fishing than sleeping at night. The night game for them started in the early 1970s when most of the biggest monster tuna tackled off Mexico's Revillagigedo islands came at night.
More recent innovations in tackle, kites, balloons, chunking techniques and a dependable supply of live sardines have improved the odds of hooking big fish by day. But fishing at night remains the best time to hook and land the biggest tuna. Why? In large part, the darkness permits anglers to use optimal (heavy enough) gear to get the job done without spooking wary tuna. Knowing the right gear and techniques can up your catch rate, not only off Baja, but anywhere anglers fish yellowfin by night.
The Night Advantage
Fishing under the cover of darkness provides a distinct advantage over daytime tuna techniques because gear size and strength — leaders, hooks, outfits and line — can be greatly increased. "When there's a sign of big yellowfin in the neighborhood, you'll want to fish the heaviest gear possible," says Steve Loomis, skipper of the long-range boat Royal Polaris.
Capt. Rollo Heyn, also a Royal Polaris skipper, recalls a night about 10 years ago when, "We got into an exceptional bite for tuna. It was full speed ahead with the heavy gear, and the boat ran completely out of bait by 10 p.m. When the dust finally settled, there were 10 yellowfin on the deck, each over 300 pounds! That's a perfect example of why anglers have to be ready to fish for tuna in the dark."
That action came early in the evening, and, most often, "Prime time means having lines in the water a few hours on either side of sunset and dawn," says Capt. Tim Ekstrom of the Royal Star. He adds that the dawn bite often begins around 3:30 or 4 a.m. That's not to say that long-range boats always find tuna at night. They may not show, Ekstrom says, "so we look for (favorable) bait and water conditions prior to waking passengers from their cozy bunks."
Break Out the Chunks
Yellowfin in any ocean seem to respond to chunks or live-bait chum. Once a long-range boat is anchored over a favorable area, it's time to start a constant chunk line — either cut mackerel or fresh tuna chunks tossed overboard every half-minute to minute. Although passengers fish (and score) using both chunk and live baits, Ekstrom says, "It seems like when the big yellowfin want to bite full-speed at night, they like the 'salamis' — the large, greenback mackerel."
And most likely to get bit at night, according to Ekstrom, are those who refrain from tossing baits far away from the boat. "I can't stress how important it is to keep your bait as close to the boat as possible," he says, "preferably straight up and down within 50 to 75 feet of the boat. This is where the majority of larger yellowfin are hooked."
As good as live mackerel or small jacks (Mexican caballitos) may be at night, there are times when chunk baits score big. In fact, many veterans consider fishing chunk bait the key to really big fish. For Tommy Rothery, who skippers the Polaris Supreme, "The majority of big cows - yellowfin over 200 pounds - fall for chunks. I think that's because of the amount of food these fish must consume just to survive. They enter into the chunk line and get into a feeding pattern where all they want is chunks."

Every family has its secrets. Some are small, like telling a white lie or snooping through a private drawer. Others are more serious, like infidelity and betrayal. And some secrets are so terrible they must be hidden away in a deep, dark place, for if they ever came to light, they would surely tear a family apart....
The Tides are a family full of secrets. Returning to Clifftops, the rambling family house high on the Dorset coastline, youngest daughter Dora hopes for a fresh start, for herself and the new life she carries. But can long-held secrets ever really be forgiven? And even if you can forgive, can you ever really learn to love again?
Secrets of the Tides is the spellbinding debut from Hannah Richell; a rich and compelling family drama with a dark thread of suspense at its heart. Read by Emilia Fox, star of Silent Witness.
©2012 Hannah Richell (P)2012 Orion Publishing Group
"A compelling story"
I found this story captivating. It was skilfully written painting vivid pictures of the characters and events that unfold. Hannah Richell writes with great insight into the complexities of family relationships. If only more families had the maturity and sense to, in time work through the aftermath of their mistakes, loss and grief.
I eagerly await her next novel The Shadow Year due to be published this year 2013. I hope Audible will add this one soon!
Highly recommended.
"A brilliant story!!!"
A highly emotional story about a family who suffers tragedy. Well written as we are taken along with each of the family members - flipping from present time, back to the past. A couple of times i found i just wanted to flip back to see what had happened in the past when it had gone back to the present time - but i contained my suspense and kept things going in order of the book. I have found this week whilst reading the book i have been holding on to my children a bit longer than usual........
"Deeply moving - cleverly written"
Such a sad family tale - very well written and deeply emotional.
It was so easy to believe the miscommunications within the family and how a series of events could shape and destroy a group of people's lives so completely.
I didn't see many of the twists and turns coming; they were well constructed and thought out.
Ultimately, I did get the ending I wanted but it was thoughtful and well written.
"Simply brilliant"
This book was a real treat and I didn't want it to end. I could picture all of the characters, the setting and the events perfectly. I would highly recommend this book. Very gripping!
"The Tides of Clifftops?"
I really think the author could have thought up some more believable names for her characters.
I abandoned this book about 25% through. It's as if the author thought she should write a story, rather than having a story that she needed to write.
Very lightweight, unconvincing and boring.
Loved this book, was sad when it finished,loved the mystery, the whole atmosphere of the story. Emilia Fox, was brilliant. Shows how secrets pull a family apart from the inside, but left you with hope for the future.
"Interesting story."
I really enjoyed this book. It had a lovely way of weaving the reactions of the characters to the single main event. It is a very human story, with a few twists and turns. I enjoyed the reading voice as well. Well worth a listen.
"brilliantly observed"
This book brilliantly observed how grieve ensnares us and how guilt can destroy the very being of a family. Sensetively told without relying on cliche
"A great family mystery"
I was hooked with this book from the start. Written from 3 females point of view (mother and 2 daughters). They suffer and are part of an awful family tragedy which effects them in their adult lives. This story covers their search of the truth and building the relationships back together.
This is a well written book read beautifully by Emilia Fox. Full of pathos, guilt and regret, this is not an easy book to listen to. The author writes skilfully and creates a maelstrom of heart rending emotions although the dialogue rambles in places. The end of the book is intended to be uplifting but I didn't find it so. It left me with a feeling of intense sadness that lasted long after I listened to the last word.
"Secrets all Round"
Great book to read, however quite a sad book too. The secrets of all the family members all blaming themselfs for what happen on the beach that day. Wriiten over various time lines so can be a bit confuseing at first. The deep inner thoughts of each family member is so well wrttien. Emila Fox her narration is amasing! Her voice makes you feel the story not just hear it.
"Beautiful story"
I really enjoyed listening to this beautiful, well written story about loss and forgiveness. The narrator reads very well.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Better public transport call for Winchester, meeting hears
8:40am Wednesday 15th January 2014 in News
MAKE public transport cheaper and more accessible - that was the general consensus of a meeting of green campaigners.
Approximately 40 Winchester residents attended the meeting last night organised by Winchester Action on Climate Change and Winchester Friends of the Earth to discuss solutions for reducing congestion in the city centre, and making Winchester a greener city.
WinACC's Phil Gagg said: "There needs to be a modal shift where possible. Make it easier for people to use public transport, get around efficiently, and try to drum up appetite for change.
"There needs to be less people using private transport, and more using public transport."
He also suggested investing in computer imagery, similar to the campaigns seen around York, to highlight to the general public what Winchester would look like without any traffic.
Other suggestions from the meeting included more room for cyclists on roads, improved park and ride schemes, removal or alterations of the one-way system, and better bus services running more frequently at a lower cost for passengers.
Chris Gillham, leading activist with Winchester FOE, said he thinks there needs to be a behavioural shift with individuals and organisations, and that "efficiency is needed" to help reduce Winchester's CO2 emissions, and ultimately congestion.
He added that he thinks local councillors should make decisions on local matters - not cabinet members who represent rural wards and travel in from other areas.
Chris Holloway, director of WinACC, said: "This has been very encouraging. There are lots of things for us to prioritise in our discussions and agendas for the coming year."

The Champions League final is on ESPN, and everyone's pretty much going batshit over this one, as the upstart Chelsea take on the old power of Manchester United. It's about 20 minutes in and nobody's scored yet, so you still have a chance to see the one goal in this game before they score it.
Update: 26 minutes in, Ronaldo heads one in. I thought Ronaldo was Brazilian?
Update: Chelsea with THE EQUALIZER at the end of the first half. Not sure who scored it. Don't really care.
Update: They're playing this game in Russia?! Why?
Update: Man U won on penalty kicks. This sport is lamer than that new Taco Bell commercial…

By JOE LoTEMPLIO
ALBANY — PLATTSBURGH — Over the past six months, residents of Pine Harbour Assisted Living have experienced one of the most joyful upgrades they could imagine.
"She is the most friendly dog I have ever seen," resident Harlan Moulton said. "She loves everybody.
"She is wonderful."
The dog Moulton was talking about is Roxy, a 2-year-old shepherd mix that Pine Harbour adopted last summer. In her short time at the facility, Roxy has become a star in the eyes of residents, staff and visitors.
"She is definitely the queen around here," said Meghan Southwick, director of The Valley, the secure memory-care unit of Pine Harbour.
Southwick, activities director Josh Brown and executive director Raeanne McLaughlin came up with the idea of getting a therapy dog last year after an experiment with some baby ducks.
They thought a friendly dog might lift the spirits of the 60 residents at the facility and make their surroundings feel more like home.
Southwick and Brown went to the Elmore SPCA, and Roxy jumped out to them as the perfect candidate. Abandoned by the side of the road when she was a puppy, a Good Samaritan brought her to the shelter.
She was rescued by a woman who took good care of her, but she got a job on the other side of the country six months later, so Roxy had to go back to Elmore. She wasn't there for long before the Pine Harbour family found her.
"I was a little concerned at first about how she might transition from Elmore to a big facility with lots of people," Southwick said.
"But she was fine. Not nervous, not overly excited or aggressive, and very passive."
Southwick spent the first night at Pine Harbour with Roxy to make sure she was fine, and there were no problems.
The residents immediately took to their new furry friend.
"She goes up to everybody, even strangers, and wants to be petted," said Moulton, who is 88.
"I've never seen a dog that friendly."
Herb Myers, 82, likes to play fetch with Roxy in the hallways.
"She loves to play with anybody, especially if there is food involved," Myers said.
Moulton said Roxy is very precise.
"When she wants to play, she will play until she's had enough, and that's it, she stops."
Southwick and Brown became Roxy's surrogate "mom and dad" and began training the brown beauty. They enrolled her in dog-therapy classes and arranged to take her to doggy day care twice a week to socialize and interact with other dogs.
They got her a few dog beds, which they strategically placed around the facility, and a whole bunch of toys.
"She just loves to play, and when I first get here everyday it's clear that she wants at least 10 minutes of play time," Brown said.
The hope was that Roxy would help the residents with more than their daily doings. Southwick said therapy dogs have been known to decrease the need for medications, lower blood pressure and add years to the lives of some elderly residents of assisted-living facilities.
So far it has worked, as some residents who previously did not socialize much have noticeably changed their outlook.
"We had some residents who hardly ever came out of their rooms, but now they come out and look forward to seeing Roxy," Southwick said.
"We knew she was going to be great, but I never expected the impact she has had."
Brown said that when he loads Roxy up into the van for a ride to doggy day care, the residents long for her.
"They miss her when she is gone and can't wait for her to get back," he said.
At therapy-dog class, Roxy learns all of the basic dog disciplines and some special commands. She knows not to jump on residents, and if someone drops a pill, to leave it alone.
She also knows to keep the noise down.
"She only barks maybe once in awhile if another dog comes in," Brown said.
To do her business, Roxy will go to the back door and wait for a staff member to let her out. A large portion of Pine Harbour's backyard is fitted with an electronic fence to keep Roxy home, but the pup shows no signs of wanting to wander off.
"She's got it made here," Southwick laughed.
Roxy has also learned to get along with the facility's two cats, Pepe and Pierre — at least, sort of.
"She likes them, but we're not sure they like her so much," Southwick said.
Visitors to Pine Harbour have come to love Roxy, too.
Frequent visitors have taken to bringing her treats, and Roxy's keen dog sense triggers her to make a run for the door when she recognizes the generous faces.
Southwick said that although having Roxy certified as a therapy dog is not required, the staff is still going through the process, which should be complete later this year.
It seems only fitting to have her certified since she has pretty much become a member of the staff.
"She is the best part of the marketing process we have," Pine Harbour marketing director Maria Dias said.
On more than one occasion, a potential resident has come to Pine Harbour for a reluctant visit with the idea that they are not going to like it there. But Roxy changes the playing field.
"We had a woman who was not happy, but when she saw Roxy, she just melted and has been fine ever since," Dias said.
Southwick said having a pet can be key for some residents.
"A lot of them are giving up their homes, their licenses and their pets, so having a pet here for them makes it more like their home," she said.
Brown, who has always had a dog in his life, said Roxy has been just a pleasure and could not have worked out any better.
"For a lot of people, this is the last home of their lives, and she just makes it so much nicer."

1. Glenn Mroz Testifies Before Senate Higher Education Subcommittee
by Jennifer Donovan, director, public relations
President Glenn Mroz testified in Lansing last week before the Higher Education Subcommittee of the Michigan Senate Appropriations Committee. His testimony was part of a presentation by the Business Leaders for Michigan (BLM), an organization of CEOs from the state's largest employers, representing among them one-quarter of Michigan's gross domestic product.
Mroz urged the senators to support performance-based funding of state universities. Praising Gov. Rick Snyder for proposing a budget that includes incentive funding based on performance, Mroz said that the metrics used to evaluate performance need to follow the more concrete recommendations that the BLM has recommended.

3. New Research Predicts Risky Decision Making
by John Gagnon, promotional writer
Life is full of risks. Knowing whether we have the skills to understand the risks involved in financial investments, medical treatments, or taking on debt can help us navigate the often muddy waters of living.
Assistant Professor Edward Cokely has led an initiative to develop the Berlin Numeracy Test, which began in 2007 at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany. The study addresses risk literacy--the ability to comprehend and act on information about life's many risks, whether they occur in technology, health, law, or the weather, to name just a few. "Risk literacy is an important ability that impacts what kinds of decisions we make," Cokely says. "For instance, we need to interpret claims about the costs and benefits of changing our diets, our driving habits, or our politicians."
Scientists, Cokely says, routinely measure all kinds of traits, including intelligence, memory, and personality. "Now," he adds, "we can also quickly, accurately assess risk literacy." That know-how is largely based on a person's "statistical numeracy"--a fancy term for math skills. "People who are risk literate make more informed, rational decisions because they understand the statistical information about the dangers and possibilities that exist in our complex and uncertain world."
The Berlin Numeracy Test took five years to create and validate. Cokely, who directs the Decision Science and Decision Engineering Laboratory (DeSciDE) at Michigan Tech, is the principal investigator on the interdisciplinary project, which involved more than two dozen scientists from North America, Europe, and Asia. Together, these scholars completed 25 studies in 15 different countries. The result: "The world's single best measure of risk literacy--a simple test that takes only a few minutes to complete but doubles the predictive power of other tools."
Try this: "Out of 1,000 people in a small town, 500 are members of a choir. Out of these 500 members in the choir, 100 are men. Out of the 500 inhabitants that are not in the choir, 300 are men. What is the probability that a randomly drawn man is a member of the choir?" (The answer: 25 percent.)
That question can be found in a paper published in the January, 2012, issue of the journal Judgment and Decision Making by Cokely and four coauthors. If you can answer that question and several others correctly, you are probably among the most risk literate people in the world--and you probably make better decisions because of it.
"This type of research is important for many reasons," Cokely says. "If we want educated citizens to make informed decisions, we need to provide information about risks, and we need people to understand that information. Research also shows that math skills such as these are among the most influential educational factors contributing to economic prosperity. For these reasons, we know that risk literacy can sometimes be as important as reading and writing."
Unfortunately, Cokely says, many people struggle to understand information about risks; fortunately, he adds, "risk literacy is a skill that can be learned."
For now, this test is used primarily for research and to increase public awareness. Down the road Cokely envisions developing decision support systems and educational programs that are custom-tailored for people with different levels of risk literacy.
It is said that education allows one to recognize when the other guy is talking rot. In the same vein, "We know that statistics can be perverted," Cokely says. "People can make you believe just about anything by twisting numbers. As the old saying goes, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
"However," he adds, "people who are risk literate are better able to understand the statistics that are available. Just like a vaccine can help protect you from diseases, risk literacy can help protect you from manipulation.
"You can still be fooled," he concludes, "but people with higher risk literacy often ask better questions and make better decisions."

For most entrepreneurs, raising seed and early-stage capital is arguably one of the most challenging steps of starting a company. One helpful route: seeking Angel investors.
* Who is the best type of Angel investor?
* Where do I find them?
* What role should they play in addition to providing investment?
* What does a typical Angel look for in a startup company?
* If my company takes off, how might a venture capitalist look at an Angel investor?

Newton announces birth of baby boy
6:28pm Wednesday 5th March 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Hollywood actress Thandie Newton has given birth to a baby boy.
The British star revealed she and her husband Ol Parker welcomed their son on March 3 and that they have named him Booker Jombe Parker.
The 41-year-old shared the news on Twitter, telling fans: "Our baby boy is finally here! Booker Jombe Parker. Born joyously at home yesterday."
The new arrival is a sibling for the couple's daughters, Nico, nine, and 13-year-old Ripley, who the Crash star said were also born at home.
The couple, who married in 1998, confirmed the pregnancy in September.

We are three couples travelling together aged 50-60. We are active, energetic, friendly and love to dance. Well if you too are like that - don't go on Holland America. At least not on the Eurodam to the Baltic.
Apart from computer help programs (run by Microsoft) and some cooking demonstrations there are no interactive activities during the sea days.
Dancing lessons are not that, they are auditions for HA's 'Dancing With The Stars' show on the last night. The passengers perform a set choreographed routine and the best two are selected for the final.
The BB King band was well supported and it plays good blues and jazz - not the sort of thing you can rock'n roll or cha cha to. HAL cats play various ballroom dance music but only for an hour from 5.30. They do play later but as we were late dining, we didn't get to enjoy them then.
The best sing along, dance along music was from Diane at the piano bar. Unfortunately the bar is carpeted and not suitable for dancing - we still gave it a go but it was difficult to dance there.
There is also a late night disco...I think. We checked it out many times and only ever found a few kids doing some putting practice with a golf club.
I don't know what the families with young children found to do. Admittedly there were not that many of those on this cruise.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that if you have limited mobility and a strong desire to do not much more than relax during a cruise, then this one is for you.
I'm just sorry we did not read a review such as this before we booked.
We have travelled before on Celebrity, Royal Caribbean and Princess and loved all the activities and interaction with the entertainment staff - that did not happen on this cruise.
Based on this experience, none of us will cruise with Holland America again.
