Rumors came floating on the Texas wind last weekend. Our buddy Duane who lives down in Yoakum, Texas made an auspicious claim.
He'd eaten a fresh plate of brisket from the pit of John Mueller.
We didn't know what to make of it. A conflagration in the world of Texas barbecue erupted {http://www.scrumptiouschef.com/food/index.cfm/2012/10/3}when Mueller was ousted at his eponymous barbecue trailer in South Austin.
And now Shoeless Joe was back?
Rumors being what they were, we opted out of publishing an article til harder evidence presented itself.
Then, this morning, our Twitter feed came alive with pictures of a mysterious smoker filled with rows of briskets. Shoeless Joe was back.
And cooking at Shiner Restaurant and Bar in bucolic Shiner Texas.
A phone call to the business confirmed that the wiry pit boss has gone to ground in Shiner and is cooking brisket, pork ribs, pork shoulder and sausage from Maeker's, a local meat market, processor and package store.
Brisket goes for 12.99 per pound.
Shiner is roughly an hour and fifteen minutes from Austin if you're up for a Saturday Texas barbecue run.
We'll update as more information becomes available.

School Notes:
- Horizon Prep - a great place to grow up!
Horizon Prep's Preschool and Pre-K are the building blocks to a classical, literacy based Kindergarten. Horizon Prep's Kindergarten is the capstone experience of our three-year Early Education Program. Fully credentialed teachers inspire and encourage Kindergartners to become life-long learners. Exciting extracurricular enrichment classes compliment a core curriculum and provide a well-rounded educational experience.
1st – 8th Graders are instructed in a strong Core Curriculum (math, science, language arts, and history), as well as Latin, Art, Music, Spanish, Library, Technology, and Sports. Championship Sports Teams (Formerly with IMSL, now with South Coast Middle School League ) round out the curricular experience with Competitive Interscholastic Athletics.
Imagine a High School where your child is known – not just a number. A High School with Academic Rigor, AP & Honors Courses; where the finish line isn't just about "getting into the best university," it's about developing a sense of one's God-given Life Calling and Career path. A High school where Discipleship, Leadership, and Citizenship work together in the development of a Biblical Worldview. A High School with CIF Athletics & Christian Coaches. Imagine a High School where Humanities, Math, and Science are complemented by the study of Foreign Languages, Rhetoric, Economics, Statistics, and the Arts. Horizon Prep offers a Christ-centered, Classically Based, High School education accredited by WASC & ACSI; where Fully Credentialed, Highly Skilled Teachers serve as accessible role models, nurturing your child in a safe environment. Dreams are now reality! Horizon Prep is expanding its Secondary program to include 9th & 10th grade in Fall 2013, adding a grade every year through 12th grade. We invite you to come and see what a difference the right High School can make for your child. www.horizonprep.org

The 2010 UTMB, Part II: All's well that ends wellSat, 28/08/2010 - 17:18 — Petzl
Part II (read Part I here)
Shortly after the 2010 Ultra-Trail Tour du Mont-Blanc blasted off from Chamonix Friday evening, the rain really started to fall. Torrential downpours were drenching the racers and the trail and the forecast called for continued heavy rain through Saturday. At around 9 or 10pm - only 2.5 to 3 hours after the start - race organizers decided to cancel the race. According to organizers at a midnight press conference, the safety of the racers had to come first. Heavy rains were taking a toll on the trail and the forecast called for continued storming through Saturday afternoon. Snow was expected as low as 2500m, making the mountainous race even more difficult.
At the time of the cancellation, the leaders including Kilian Jornet had reached the Les Contamines aid station (31.1 km), while the bulk of runners hadn't reached the St. Gervais station (21.3 km). Racers were heart broken. After months and months of training, with many traveling thousands of miles to participate in this mythic race, they were forced to confront the fact that would not be able to complete the Tour.
Race organizers quickly organized shuttles using chartered trains and buses to bring all 2300 racers back to Chamonix. Organizers were also able to find lodging for all the the racers. At the same time, the TDS was cancelled as well.
CCC at the finish: Xavier Thevenard and Maud Giraud takes first
At 9:57 Friday night and after nearly 12 hours on running in the rain, CCC racer Xavier Thevenard crossed finish line in Chamonix. The CCC starts in Courmayeur, passes through Champex and ends in Chamonix. At 98 km it's the 'shortest' race and for many runners, it is their first taste of a Mont-Blanc ultra. It features 5600m of elevation gain.
A few hours later, a very wet Petzl athlete Maud Giraud crossed the finish line after running for 11 hours and 57 minutes. Commenting on the race, Maud said: "We played cat and mouse with the other girls until I regained first place in the downhill section after the Col Ferret," said Maud. "Downhill is my strong point (kind of normal for a skier). I'm able to really relax in full confidence and recover. Then I kept my lead until the end.'
Exhausted but happy runners streamed into Chamonix all throughout the rainy night. But 1300 racers were stopped at 2:10am, at the Tête aux Ventes checkpoint, when organizers decided to halt the race. They were brought back to Chamonix by bus.
The results of the 2010 CCC:
|1-Xavier Thevenard 11:57
|1-Maud Giraud 14:07
|2-Sylvain Camus 12:03:08
|2-Delphine Avenier 14:56
|3-Nikolaos Kalofyris 12:03:48
|3-Kami Semik 15:18
Plan B: The alternative UTMB
Racers received an SMS at 2:30 in the morning Saturday notifying them of a new race following the last half of the UTMB from Courmayeur to Chamonix. Buses carrying racers left Chamonix at 6:30 and race started off at 10:15. Approximately 1200 runners lined up at the start. Many of the top runners were there, with few notable absences, including Kilian Jornet, who decided to run a race in Italy instead.
The weather was cooperative at the starting line, but blue skies and warm temperatures were not part of the plan for the 2010 edition. Soon after racers left Courmayeur, the rain started and cold temperatures set in. At the Grand Col Ferret (2537m altitude) runners encountered snow and wind.
The winners of this year's abbreviated UTMB: UK runners take the prizes
Just after nightfall on Saturday night, the first runner arrived in Chamonix. Jez Bragg from the UK crossed the finish line after 10 hours and 30 minutes on the trail. Seven minutes later, the American Mike Wolfe came in to take second place, followed by Zigor Iturrieta Ruiz from Spain.
Lizzy Hawker came in first for the women after 11 hours and 47 minutes on the trail. At the finish line, the UK runner spoke of the difficulty of dealing with the canceled race and the motivation it took to start again. It was the knowledge that other runners were going to be on the trail that really pushed to start up again, she said.
At the time of publication, the other women hadn't arrived Chamonix. But it appears as if Néré Martinez Urruzola from Spain will come in second and Agnes Hervé will take third. We will follow up with a article on Sunday after the award ceremony with the official results.
Jez Bragg: out of the woods and on his way to victory
Below, a slide show of the finish of the CCC and the UTMB with a few more profiles of racers:
Maud Giraud, 1st place CCC
At 12:08am Saturday morning, Maud Giraud, crossed the finish line and took women's title for this year's CCC. This 98km race starts in Courmayeur, Italy, passes through Champex, Switzerland and finishes in Chamonix, France and features 5600m of elevation gain. The 2010 edition was especially difficult, as it rained for most of 14 hours and 7 minutes Maud was on the course.
"The CCC is my favorite distance. I've done a lot of running this year and I felt like I really reached a new level and improved my abilities," Maud said. In 2008, she placed 2nd in the CCC coming in after 16 hours and 40 minutes.
For the first part of the race, Maud and the other two top finishing women stayed neck-and-neck until she pulled out ahead. "We played cat and mouse with the other girls until I regained first place in the downhill section after the Col Ferret," said Maud. "Downhill is my strong point (kind of normal for a skier). I'm able to really relax in full confidence and recover. Then I keptmy lead until the end.'
In the final hours of the race, Maud ran with the ULTRA to cut through the fog, which presents a challenges for her: "I fear the fog at night, and it cause me to drop out of last year's UTMB. Fog is awful to run in. I loose balance and get massive headaches...a nightmare. The ULTRA gives me all the power for the fog."
"I was fearing the fog in the final section but it wasn't that bad. I felt really good all the way to the end without putting myself in red zone. The rain doesn't bother me - I'm a mountain person and I'm always outside whatever the weather is," she continued.
Maud, 33, works as a ski instructor and organizes trail running seminars with Vincent Delebarre. As a mother of three girls, running at night is an important part of her training. "I like running at night, I train a lot early in the morning so I can be active mother during the day."
Her first place finish is the continuation of a series of strong performances. She won the 2010 6000D, the 2009 Templiers, the 2009 Sainté Lyon races. She is also the reigning trail running champion of France.
Emmanuel Gault
For his first CCC, Emmanuel Gault did extremely well, coming in 5th among a very strong field of trail runners.
"I was feeling really comfortable both on the uphill and downhill sections. Unfortunately I bonked on the last uphill section to La Flegere. It was the hardest part of the race for me," said Emmanuel. "But I was able to recover and I'm really happy and proud of my 5th place result."
Emmanuel has a lot of experience on shorter, less steep races (1st place EcoTrail, 1st place Trail de Burons), but less on these longer races like the CCC. "The longest race up to this point that I have run was 8 hours," he said. He ran the CCC in 12 hours and 37 minutes.
He runs with an ULTRA or a MYO XP, with a back-up E+LITE. "Running at night is part of a runner's life," he said.
Being a school director in the south of France, it's not easy to train for mountainous races. "It's a bit complicated to train for the climbs. I'm quite new to mountain trail, and I'm not used to so much uphill. I normally run races with less than 1500m of elevation gain."
Cory T. Johnson, a Wasatch Speed Goat
Cory T. Johnson, 45, had set out to run the Ultra-Trail Tour du Mont-Blanc, but because it was cancelled, he changed plans and is now running the 98km alternative CCC.
This is Cory's first to Europe and he's quite impressed: "This place is totally amazing, such high mountains with glaciers. I like the beautiful architecture of Chamonix and people here are so lean," he said.
A native of Ogden, Utah, Cory is the owner of the second largest auto body repair shop in the state. He is a member of the Wasatch Speed Goats team and runs about 2300 miles a year. He runs between four and seven 100 mile races a year along with several 50 mile races. Cory placed 18th on the Hard Rock 100 in Colorado and 12th in the Bear 100 (Utah/Idaho).
He finds the terrain in the Alps a little different than his home training grounds. "The terrain here is less technical that in the Wasatch mountains."
Cory is definitely not afraid of running after the sun sets. "Night running is definitely my thing, I train almost every morning before going to work, whatever the weather. Running at night is my strong point - I feel better and go faster," he said
He runs with the MYO XP BELT with an E+LITE for a back-up. But, "In case the weather is bad, I will for sure pull out my ULTRA. It's such an incredible headlamp in terms of power," he said.

This conference will take place at the State Library of NSW, Sydney on the 6th of March 2011. They are calling for 30 minute papers, particularly from New Zealanders about local study collections and initiatives.
It is about encouraging local communities to be engaged with local history and develop a sense of identity and the ways it might be done better.
This blog is my contribution. We do need to foster our sense of history better here in New Zealand. The political initiative during the past 15 years has been to engage school children and public servants with the Treaty of Waitangi. This has been done well in some areas and very poorly in others.
But its also had the effect of '"switching off'" minds to other areas of our history as people gasped under the deluge of politically correct speech and written works. So in a lot of minds, history is garbage now.

Some little-known brokers have come under the scanner of SEBI for suspected manipulative activities in stocks by spreading rumours about certain listed companies, including a few mid-cap entities whose share prices fell like nine-pins last week.
The regulator is now looking into the possibility of these brokers, whose trading activities have not been material in the past, being used as front entities by some foreign investors, HNI financiers and even company promoters.
According to sources, SEBI's preliminary investigations into the last week's sharp plunge in some mid-cap stocks have thrown forward certain interesting facts. It may also be rumours to beat down the stocks.
However, the regulator has yet not completely discarded the possibility of stocks having plunged due to large-scale sale by financiers having provided funds to promoters or other investors in lieu of pledged shares, as also exit of certain Mauritius-based funds.
Sources said that it was also possible that some Participatory Note holders might have directed the FIIs to offload their shares immediately, as such investments are already under scanner for possible re-routing of black money from India back into the country through locations like Mauritius.
However, there are some common threads in almost all the affected stocks and these include certain speculations doing the rounds about their businesses, promoters and foreign fund raising plans, sources said.
The regulator has yet not been able to establish any link between the brokers and major clients having dealt in these stocks, but most of the suspected transactions in these shares have been conducted through relatively smaller brokers.
Soon after these stocks were battered down on Thursday, the market regulator had swung into action, while the two stock exchanges, NSE and BSE, next day decided to reduce the price bands of the six affected stocks to five per cent on surveillance concerns.
These stocks are Parsvnath Developers, Tulip Telecom and Era Infra Engineering, Glodyne Technoserve, Radico Khaitan and Pipavav Defence & Offshore Engineering Company, all of which witnessed sharp plunge in their share prices on Thursday.
On Friday also, Parsvnath, Pipavav Defence and Glodyne Technoserve plunged by up to 20 per cent, although Tulip, Radico Khaitan and Era Infra managed to move up.
On Thursday itself, SEBI and the two stock exchanges had begun seeking clarifications from major brokers and clients having dealt in these stocks, while the regulator started inspecting data in its market surveillance system to identify the unusual trades.

O's turn to Trachsel to win series
Boston (70-46) at Baltimore (53-62), Sunday, 1:35 p.m. ET
The Orioles and Red Sox split the first two games of their three-game series, leaving Sunday's matinee as the rubber match. Baltimore made late comebacks in both of the first two games -- a winning one Friday and one that fell short Saturday. The O's are just 1-4 on their current homestand and could salvage the week with one additional victory.The series finale features two veterans with long track records: Steve Trachsel and Curt Schilling. Trachsel has pitched amidst rumors that he could be traded for several weeks, and they've continued unabated since the non-waiver trade deadline. Schilling, meanwhile, has made just one start since returning from a case of right shoulder tendinitis. Saturday may not have gone well, but the Orioles have a chance to win a series against the Red Sox for the first time this year. Baltimore lost all three prior series against Boston and has dropped the season set seven times in the last eight years. Still, Baltimore is 24-22 overall and 11-6 against American League East opponents since manager Dave Trembley took over. Pitching matchup
BAL: RHP Steve Trachsel (5-7, 4.88 ERA)
Trachsel pitched well in his last two starts but hasn't won since returning from the disabled list in late July. BOS: RHP Curt Schilling (6-5, 4.31 ERA)
Schilling is 4-4 with a 4.50 ERA in 12 road starts and 3-1 with a 3.79 mark in day games this season. Player to watch

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 560 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Engima Luxury at its best The hotel was fantastic with excellent customer service. The staff were attentive to all our needs and nothing was to much trouble for them. A good selection of restaurants providing a range of international cuisines. The pools were cleaning and the catering service at the pools was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel and will definitely return. June 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevla To much building work We were told we had been upgraded and we had not. We were told we had good views and we overlooked a building site. We were not advised of what was included in our package so we missed out on what was included in our package i,e transfers from the airport etc. The tower was being refurbished directly above our suite so the room was not habitable during the day. KW November 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Helle The Most courteous staff This was my first visit to your hotel and both my husband and I were totally impressed with the efficiency and courteousness of your staff. Nothing was too much trouble. This included the staff who worked outside on the beach providing towels to serving drinks. We will definitely be staying again. Thank you for making our visit truly special. Mrs. H. Bond February 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne01 Great Hotel. What can I say? words simply cannot describe the feeling of staying Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa Hotel everything was so good, the service was excellent which included the beach area, Food very appetizing with breakfast freshly made depending on your choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lee49 Perfect location Beautiful Hotel Arriving early hours of the morning and leaving 2am was no problem. Everything perfect March 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Johnkm12 Great expectations, a little pricey Love the hotel, the quality of service, the location and the facilities. Getting rather expensive here (and in Dubai more generally). The hotel was very quite, probably due to the new "Beach Walk" area attracting hotel guests in the evening. Meridien need to do more to attract guests & non-residents back to the hotels excellent facilities and location. December 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Snatchpiece Tower Suite with SV was wonderful Tower Suite which we had was of a very high standard - wish we could have been put in one with a full SV and perhaps not overlooking the building site next door - but having said this it didn't ruin our stay. Fusion restaurant and the european restaurant (can't remember the name) was fantastic -staff looked after us well!! thanks for a wonderful stay. May 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by samjoe1 relaxing and luxurious stay This is my 10th or 11th stay. My sister and I took our mother for her 70th birthday.I already knew how great this hotel is but they were blown away by the service. ALL the staff were fantastic. Mum had flowers, champagne and chocolate cake sent up to the room by the staff with a birthday card.Everything was just so special. Cant wait for next visit. May 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shs14 Excellent Second time we have stayed in this hotel, it was great we were celebrating a special wedding anniversary and the staff made it very special for us indeed !! We stayed in the tower had a great sea view and balcony. The hotel grounds are the biggest in Dubai I think and although the hotel was busy it never felt like it.all in all cant wait to go back.

Rated 2 out of 5 by luizrpm Not good value for money We were expecting a more modern hotel and definitely a more welcoming and friendly staff. Unfortunately just a few people were keen on saying hello or helping us with a smile on their face. Moreover, during checkout, I was confused about having paid the hotel prior to check in, and I brought this issue with the girl at the Club Tower reception. She was helpful to explain the situation, but started laughing, alongside some of her work peers, and that made me and my wife very uncomfortable. Definitely not an attitude you would expect from a 5-star hotel employee. Overall we were happy with the facilities, but the breakfast quality could be improved (e.g less food but better quality and ingredients) as well as the bathroom, which is old and lacks many modern features, more modern infra-structure (apart from the GYM, which is one of the best we´ve ever seen) and the restaurant prices, which are too high considering the quality of the food.

Rated 5 out of 5 by john9 Fabulous Hotel A beautiful hotel with fantastic grounds surrounding the swimming pools.All the staff were exceptionally professional.courteous and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.The service in and the decor and layout of the restaurants were impeccable with wideranging and delicious menus.The food itself was of a high standard and beautifully presented May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Preston02 Top quality hotel in a great location We were overwhelmed by the choices of hotels, their locations and packages on offer and chose The Royal Meridien though a combination of advice and good luck. We're really pleased that we did as this is an exceptional hotel, in an exceptional location and serviced by exceptional people. We elected for the room upgrade and it's worth every penny. March 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jason1112 This is an older hotel with NO SPG participation While the hotel had many facilities, it was a bit dated in the decor and age of the furnishings in the room. In addition, I did not realize until after I could no longer cancel my reservation, but while Le Royal Meridien is a Starwood hotel, it does not participate in the SPG program. For my future stays in Dubai, I will be staying elsewhere. January 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by George71 This hotel is simply sublime A simply wonderful hotel. Beautifully situated on the beach with spacious,peaceful gardens in which to relax. The entire staff are so wonderful, always attentive but never intrusive. One of the best hotel experiences we have ever had, and would highly recommend. If asked to score marks out of 10 for the entire experience, we would give 11+. August 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 We keep coming back this is our 6th year at Le Royal Meridien and we love the tower building services cleanliness food staff attention to guest needs and the hotels special touches they strive to offer. We have tried other hotels in Dubai but Le Royal gets our number one vote each time. You've got to try it once and you to will we hooked. Thanks Pam and Mark September 1, 2013

Excellent breakfasts, choice of 3 pools to relax beside. personalised service from staff. so helpful and pleasant. Guest relations organised our outings to Dubai effortlessly and efficiently. Beautiful decor, and so much else besides. First class and better !! August 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kermit2013 Fantastic experience I have stayed at this hotel about 7 times and it is still my favourite hotel in Dubai. It is nice because it has more of a personal touch and the staff remember us from previous years. There is nothing I can fault, other than I wish that the Christmas decorations go up a little earlier so I can see them before I leave! December 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dubai0214 Great time Everything was perfect. Its very good for familiy. March 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 Meet Expectations The hotel met my expectation but i was hoping to get surprized and to get something better than what I expected. So it was a good 5 star hotel experience but with almost 50% higher price. Also in hot summer the beach and pool timings should atleast start at Sun rize as due to heat we only managed to spend only 3 hours in our 5 days stay August 25, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Deep12 Hotel Beach When welcoming guests, suggest to ensure that the recpetion desk person is well informed and trained to ensure that they provide ALL details pertaining to that part of the hotel and benefits that come with the room. For e.g. the reception did not tell us that with the tower room the breakfast can be delivered to the room complimentary September 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by carol20 fabulous hotel After our recent stay at least royal meridien I can only speak highly of it rooms were excellent well presented and such comfy beds,we were on half board and the buffet on offer was excellent with huge choice of food,the staff were all most friendly and nothing was too much trouble,I can only rate the whole experience as five star!!!!!

I'm glad to say we made the right choice with Le Royal Meridien Beach and Spa. It exceeded every expectation. Special thanks to all the wonderful staff who looked after our every need. I will definetly recommend to friends April 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by martin51 Excellence Third year of staying in the tower with my adult family. Could not believe that service could be improved upon , but the hotel achieved it. Naming Nuwan & Nelson at the main pool bar, Craig butler, and Ajith housekeeping could ot do more, even pool security & life guards were of assistance when i injured my back. Reataurents brilliant June 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kettle282 Service is impeccable I do not usually write reviews but this was our fifth year/sixth visit to Le Royal Meridien and I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone. We are a family of three, my daughter is 10 years old and all our needs and expectations are fully met. The service is second to none. You will not want for anything. Everyone looks after you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tpr2 A brilliant self contained hotel Absolutely marvelous top end hotel. Brilliant staff. Food a little pricey but good quality. Wish we had realized the impact of Ramadan. Temperatures were 37 to 44 deg and unable to even drink water outside the hotel premises before 8pm. Spoilt our visit. We were not informed it would be Ramadan when we made our booking months before. August 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Curly Facilities Superb pools, beach ,areas for relaxation , and a little sport .

Robert Moynihan, editor of the Inside the Vatican newsletter, is in Moscow visiting with Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk and other church people. He reports that "the Russian Orthodox have now decided to engage with Catholics, and others, in a collaboration which can be compared to an actual alliance against the great social evils of our day, not only in Russia, but also throughout Europe and the world." Moynihan says that this effort will be directed by a new think tank, the St. Gregory Nazianzus Foundation, which has the blessing of Patriarch Kirill. Archbishop Hilarion, working with a team of young Orthodox clergy and laymen, decided to found the St. Gregory Nazianzus Foundation in order to work together with Catholics and others in the West, to support traditional spiritual values in Russia, but also throughout the world, St. Greory was a theologian in the 300s, well before the division of the Church into East and West, and so is venerated both by the Catholics and by the … [Read more...]

Running and Gunning
|To help keep his baits spread out, Capt. Dave Kostyo runs his kite lines from the kite rod through stainless steel rings attached to the port and starboard sides of his boat's T-top. (Mike Mazur)
That's good advice for new kite-fishermen — and, similarly, Kostyo says it's important for anglers new to this type of fishing to remain "one step ahead of the curve" in regard to boat positioning.
"You've got to think ahead of what's currently happening," he says. "For instance, don't react to what the fish has done but instead of what the fish is on the verge of doing."
This certainly applies to boat-handling when fighting a fish — but also when searching for them.
"Kite-fishing is very visual," Panos says. "In addition to watching the baits, I'm constantly watching the horizon for fish on the surface."
If Panos spots a free-jumping sailfish out ahead of the boat, he'll holler for his crew to pull in the sea anchor and raise the baits.
It takes a good deckhand about 30 seconds to rip in the sea anchor, and the baits typically can survive for about 30 seconds to a minute while suspended in the air, Panos says. Then he juices the engines to cut off the moving fish.
"We run with the kites and baits in the air," he says. "Nothing crazy that will break the kites off, but pretty hard, 15 to 18 mph, depending on how hard the wind is blowing."
It's important to stay on a heading into the breeze so the kites don't crash. Once Panos gets around the fish, he straightens out the boat and drops the baits — hopefully on one or more fish.
Orderly Catches
This sort of run-and-gun kite-fishing is common in high-stakes sailfish tournament fishing — but Kostyo often takes a more subtle approach.
|Efficient maneuvering of big boats in crowded waters is a requirement when flying kites. (Capt. Vincent Daniello)
"When moving to different depths, a lot of guys like to pick up everything and run, but I get lots of hits simply by moving out slowly to the new depth," he says.
Kostyo says it's important for anglers to have a keen understanding of how wind and current affect a particular boat. "There are days I can use just one engine and other days when I need both engines in gear to keep the bow into the wind," he says. "You really have to be in tune with your boat."
And once hooked up, staying in tune with the fish from the helm becomes essential too.
"Always try to keep ahead of the fish," Kostyo says. "Try to keep it off the stern or parallel to the cockpit. The guys with outriggers can spin the boat more easily, and they're able to keep the stern facing the fish and back down on it. But for me, without outriggers, you just keep the fish to the rear of the cockpit and move forward with it.
"It all comes down to practice, though," Kostyo says again for emphasis. "And the more you do it, the better you get."

Ellement inquest verdict expected
11:02am Monday 24th February 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
A coroner is today expected to deliver his conclusion into the death of a Royal Military Police officer found hanging in her barracks after accusing colleagues of rape.
Corporal Anne-Marie Ellement, 30, was found at Bulford Barracks near Salisbury in Wiltshire on October 9, 2011.
Corporal Ellement, originally from Bournemouth in Dorset, alleged she had been raped by two soldiers in November 2009, while she was posted in Germany.
An inquest in Salisbury heard Corporal Ellement had been left "absolutely devastated" by the decision by military investigators not to prosecute the soldiers.
Nicholas Rheinberg, deputy coroner for Swindon and Wiltshire, is expected to deliver his conclusion into Corporal Ellement's death, following the three-week inquest.
A previous inquest in March 2012 recorded a conclusion that Corporal Ellement took her own life.
But last August, the High Court ordered a fresh hearing, which began in Salisbury on February 3.
During the inquest, Corporal Ellement's family claimed she had felt bullied by colleagues and without support in the Army.
Her sister, Sharon Hardy, 44, a married mother-of-four from Christchurch, Dorset, told the inquest: "When she died, my immediate thoughts were the Army, the rape, the bullying and the overwork."

Wishes and More Charity Fun Run by Race - over 6 years ago
"My neighbor and I were sitting around one day, and we were pretty bored, so we decided to plan something. One of our first ideas was a charity fun run. So we gather our siblings and started to plan. First we found a charity a small non-profit organization called Wishes and More, in the end we raised almost 600 dollars for the charity . It took us almost a month to plan but when the day of the run came we were ready. We had two races the "Kids Race" and the "Adult Race" . The picture above, is at the start of the kids race. Everyone had tons of fun. Initially we weren't going to have t-shirts but when we found this website, everything changed. We had an awesome time planning the run. Everyone was suprised because non of us on the "planning committee" were over the age of 14. Everything went VERY smoothly. THANK YOU CUSTOM INK."

PEORIA, Ill. -- Local groups working with veterans are excited about the national initiative "Hiring Our Heroes," designed to help service members get jobs.
The Veterans Outreach Center in Peoria and the Peoria area Chamber of Commerce are among several collaborators joining the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to participate in a hiring fair for service members.
Rich Glavin of the Veterans Outreach Center said there has been a highly mobilized effort among service agencies to make sure that vets, including those without access to the Internet, can get information about the event.
"The cooperation of all the other veteran service organizations in the community is what really makes it a good event," said Galvin.
To date, the Hiring Our Heroes program has helped more than 10,000 veterans find jobs.
"The beauty of this is we hear there's a need in the employer community for highly skilled technical employees and our nation has put a lot of money into training people in the military and many of them have pretty high tech skills, lots of discipline. They can be very good employees," said Rob Parks.
The event will take place at the Peoria Civic Center July 12th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Helping Customers Is a Top Priority In Running Your Business
Quotas as well as standard sales and production are important, but they are only means of intermediaries. The primary means is creating and maintaining customers to winning the business competition. Every morning, before starting the job, take 5 minute for asking yourself, "How do I get myself able to give help that is very meaningful to the customer?" Get used to maintain a record book, and every time a new idea that comes to mind you, write down the idea and determined to carry it out. Encourage your co-worker friends to do the same thing.
Try out the principle that the service is something more than selling, and you will see how great the benefits. Although may be the money that you can get not too much, but you will feel more comfortable, so you will definitely make it as a habit.
Customers are people who pay our salaries. The salary we get is from the purchase of its customers. Therefore, it is natural that customer service is a top priority in a retail business. Maintaining customer service is also meant to maintain the income of the employee.

It's the kind of beer you want to enjoy on an afternoon when you have nothing else to do because this pint will get you nice and happy." — Camilla Salem, assistant editor 1 / 5 Wells Banana Bread Beer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "This beer sounded so weird, I had to try it. But despite the bold banana label, the fruity elements are remarkably subtle. Playing off beer's ancient reputation as 'liquid bread,' this amber ale has undertones of banana, but up front, it's medium-bodied and an easy drinker." — Nancy Einhart, executive editor 2 / 5 Abita Abbey Ale What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I love a good bready ale — one where when you pour it into a glass, it smells like just fresh-baked bread just out of the oven. This Louisianian Abita Abbey Ale is just that, brewed with same traditions as the monks who perfected beer centuries ago. This dark amber ale has hints of cloves and fruit in each sip." — Lauren Hendrickson, Contributing Editor 3 / 5 Lagunitas Bavarian-Style Doppel Weizen What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "A limited released Winter wheat from Lagunitas, Bavarian-Style Doppel Weizen might be hard to find a bottle but if you do buy a couple you won't be disappointed.

One day after a Centennial High School student spoke out to say he was met with death threats after coming out as gay, a second student is sharing a similar story that unfolded just a few months ago.
"It hurt -- just like calling someone fat or ugly," Noah Ratgen, an 8th grade student at Centennial, told Fox 9 News. "There's no reason to do it at all."
In both instances, it begins with a student publicly identifying as gay -- and both were met with backlash by those who would invoke God or religion while expressing their apparent hate. Ratgen and his parents say they were absolutely crushed.
"I just don't understand why we're such a big problem," Ratgen said.
Ratgen came out in late fall, using social media to tell his classmates that he is gay. About a week later, however, Ratgen woke up to find the family driveway in Lino Lakes had been vandalized with a hateful message.
"On the driveway, written in very large letters: 'God hates f--s,'" recalled Brad Ratgen, Noah's father. "It was absolutely disgusting. I went and washed it off right away."
The family reported the painful graffiti to police, but no arrests were ever made. Instead, the incident was filed as a hate crime with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
"I'm really hoping it's a few bad apples -- a few bad people who are doing this," Carla Ratgen admitted. "It's kind of sad to do something so mean to our kids."
Meanwhile, Centennial Superintendent Brian Dietz says a probe into the threatening letter that was allegedly left for Ryan Eichenauer is continuing aggressively.
"We take every threat seriously and investigate fully," he said.
In fact, that's another thing the two cases have in common is this: Both families believe the school district acted swiftly and with sensitivity to their concerns. Late Wednesday, Eichenauer took to social media to thank the district for how it has handled the situation.
"Centennial High School is a fantastic school, they have done a lot to make sure I, as well as other students, feel safe. I am very glad with how the staff and elders are handling this situation," he wrote on Facebook. "My only problem is the maturity of other students."
Eichenauer's post also expressed frustration with the perceptions and rumors he's dealt with from his fellow classmates, and said the response he's received on Facebook has been overwhelming. As a family that had endured a similar emotional struggle, Ratgens told Fox 9 News they wanted to share their story because they wanted Eichenauer to know he isn't alone in the community when it comes to being targeted for who he is.
"There's reason people do it anonymously," Brad Ratgen said. "They know it's wrong. They know it's hate-filled. No one wants to be associated. That's why they do it under the cover of darkness at night, why they leave a note on a desk at school."

Vince Young threw his shoulder pads and left LP Field immediately following the Titans' overtime loss to the Redskins, according to PFW correspondent and Tennessean reporter Jim Wyatt, ending his time as the team's starting quarterback.
Young left the game to a chorus of boos after injuring his thumb. He dressed quickly and raced out of the team's locker room before the media was allowed in for interview. Tennessee safety Michael Griffin allegedly chased after Young to speak with him, but to no avail.
Following the incident, head coach Jeff Fisher said that Young has lost his job as the team's starting QB, injury or not. The QB was 12-of-16 for 165 yards before the injury.
The way we see it
Young's behavior over the course of his career has been bizarre, but this appears to be the last straw for Fisher and the Titans. Expect Kerry Collins or rookie Rusty Smith to get the remainder of snaps this season; the team may even opt to release Young.

The Buccaneers announced they signed rookie WR Arrelious Benn to a four-year contract on Tuesday.
Benn, the 39th overall pick, was the second of Tampa Bay's two second-round selections. The Illinois product is expected to make an immediate impact for the Bucs. Benn and fourth-round pick Mike Williams could open the season as the team's starting wide receivers.
In PFW's 2010 Draft Preview, personnel expert Nolan Nawrocki wrote that Benn "is a body catcher and needs refinement as a route runner, but his combination of size, strength and run-after-catch ability should allow him to make an impact as a 'Wildcat' runner, kick returner and complementary receiver, with potential to develop into a solid pro in a West Coast offense."

30 Nov
Thanksgiving is over. And I ate too much.
And now it is November 30th…the day before December 1st. Only a hand full of days left in 2010.
Where has this year gone?
Don't you feel like time is flying by??
I am always checking what's next on the calendar…just wishing my life away.
Rarely do I take the time…or have the chance…to enjoy the daily routine because we are constantly running for here to there.
Last year, I finished my Christmas shopping right around Thanksgiving…and I loved it.
And this year…on November 30…my Christmas shopping is almost complete albeit teacher gifts and few stocking stuffers. And for that, I am thankful.
And now I can enjoy the rest of the year…cooking with my children, making gifts for friends, wrapping presents with no rush, and really taking time to appreciate everything I am thankful for like…
My husband who loves me no matter how neurotic I can be…and adores his children…
My daughter who loves reading to her little brother….
My son who loves his big sister more than anything in this world…
My Bella doodle bug who I never thought I could love more than my Josie bear…
My mom who tells me she loves me every day….
My dad for being a true father….
And my friends who never give up on me…who 'sharpen iron with iron'…and inspire me to be a better person…
"As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." Proverbs 27:17
I hope we all enjoy the rest of the 2010 and love, encourage, and sharpen eachother.
