Luke Spaete didnt win Tackle Toms ice fishing derby at Lake Cascade, but he got a pretty good consolation prize the new state record perch.
Spaetes fish weighed 2 pounds, 11 ounces and measured 15 1/2 inches, topping the old record of 2 pounds, 9.6 ounces and 15 1/2 inches that was first set in 1976 at Wilson Lake in Jerome County.
That record was tied in 2012, and the tying fish was also caught at Lake Cascade.
It was not a case of beginners luck. Spaete, of Boise, has spent about 10 days fishing at Lake Cascade this winter.
Spaete and other ice anglers have consistently been pulling fish over 2 pounds from the reservoir, and its been expected for several years to produce the next state record.
Spaete was fishing Saturday during the tournament and had landed 131/2-inch and 14-inch perch when he saw a bigger fish appear on his fish finder at about 25 feet depth.
All of the sudden all the little ones went away, and this giant mark showed up, he said. It was one giant blob, and I thought, Dont miss this one.
The fish hit his lure, a Hali Slender Spoon, which had a small, light hook, and Spaete worried the hook might straighten before he got the fish to the surface. When he pulled it through the ice, its belly and dorsal fin were scraping the sides of the 8-inch hole, he said.
He knew it was a big fish and fat (it had a 13-inch girth), but I really didnt think of it being a state record.
Later that day, he weighed the fish at Tackle Toms, and owner Tom McGlashen knew it was.
I did the classic double take, McGlashen said. I said, Holy cow, we got a new state record.
But the scale at Tackle Toms wasnt certified, so they took the fish down the street to local grocery store D9, which has certified scales.
Spaete, 30, is a geosciences researcher at BSU who moved to Idaho from Michigan in 2009. He grew up ice fishing in the Midwest, and said he was surprised how good it is in Idaho.
He promotes the sport by volunteering at the annual youth ice fishing day at Horsethief Reservoir, and for the past two years has hosted the Hardwater Classic ice fishing derby on Lake Cascade, which was held Jan. 25.
Spaetes fishing partner, Mike Kosinski of Orofino, won the tournament last weekend with a three-perch stringer that weighed 5.96 pounds.
In perch angling, the benchmark for a trophy fish is about 2 pounds. The worlds record is 4 pounds, 3 ounces and 18 inches long. It was caught in New Jersey in 1865, and it is the longest-standing record for freshwater fish in North America.
McGlashen said he wasnt surprised to see a new state record after the old one was tied two years ago, but there was a lull last winter and no fish came close.
McGlashen said he saw lots of big perch caught last summer, and winter is typically when fish are the heaviest because females are laden with eggs and also voraciously feeding.
In the old saying timing is everything, Gary Wiese of Eagle caught a perch on Sunday that also broke the old state record, but did not top Spaetes fish.
McGlashen said he wouldnt be surprised to see a bigger perch caught before ice fishing season ends.
Mike Hall of Ogden, Utah, is a pro staffer for Macks Lures and perch fishing specialist who tracks trophy fishing destinations.
He said Lake Cascade is currently the top trophy perch fishery in the West and among the best in the United States, and hes made several trips there this winter.
Its definitely a shining star, he said. There isnt a (perch) fishery in the world that wouldnt trade for what you have there.
Hes been getting numerous calls and inquiries from anglers in the Midwest asking about Lake Cascade and its jumbo perch.
Thats quite a compliment, he said. Its a rare thing to see a place that produces 2-pound fish consistently.
Theres still about a month before the perch spawn, and Hall said those big fish have growing room.
So will Spaetes record stand?
Theres two ways to look at it. The old record has been tied once and topped twice, and all three were from Lake Cascade. Both larger fish were caught last weekend.
But that old record also stood for 38 years, so perch that big are rare.
Hall and McGlashen think there are bigger ones in the reservoir.
Youre definitely going to see the record broken at Lake Cascade, Hall said. If you want to fish for a state record, thats the place to go.

Letter: Mayor endorses council candidates
Mayor endorses council candidates
To the Editor:
It has been an honor and privilege to serve as mayor for almost a year now and I am proud of the progress we have made. We could not have achieved the numerous accomplishments this year without the hard work and dedication of many volunteers, borough staff and a dedicated town council.
I am excited to endorse two outstanding individuals running for Council this Nov. 6 to help Park Ridge continue this progress. Councilman Robert Oppelt and council candidate Robert Metzdorf have been active and dedicated members of the community who are committed to keeping Park Ridge an affordable and great place to live.
I had the privilege to serve on the Park Ridge Planning Board with Councilman Oppelt and have worked with him on many PKRG-TV and Green Team initiatives. Bob has shown his commitment to our community over the past 35 years and can always be counted on to jump in and help. Councilman Oppelt and council candidate Rob Metzdorf both have distinguished records of service to their country and their community. Bob is a U.S. Navy veteran and Rob Metzdorf has served in the U.S. Army.
Rob Metzdorf is a practicing attorney and has been an active volunteer/coach for the Park Ridge Athletic Association and currently sits on the Park Ridge Planning Board. I know these two candidates to be above partisan politics and will dedicate their time, talent and energy solely to the continued success of our town.
[I ask residents to] join me in supporting Councilman Bob Oppelt and Council Candidate Robert Metzdorf on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Terry Maguire
Mayor, Borough of Park Ridge

Spiritual Guidance Comes from God AloneThe Bible teaches that spiritual guidance should be sought from God alone through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. He has provided everything we need for this life in his Word.
Isaiah 8:19
When men tell you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? (NIV)
Hebrews 4:14
That is why we have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him. (NLT)
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. (NLT)
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do. (NLT)
2 Peter 1:3
As we know Jesus better, his divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life. He has called us to receive his own glory and goodness! (NLT)
Deceiving Spirits, Demonic Forces, Angels of Light, Counterfeits for the TruthAre psychic experiences of talking with the dead real?
Yes, I believe they can be very real, but not true experiences of talking with dead people. The Bible considers these experiences to be associated with deceiving spirits, demons, angels of light or counterfeits for the true Spirit of God.
1 Timothy 4:1
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. (NIV)
1 Corinthians 10:20-21
No, not at all. What I am saying is that these sacrifices are offered to demons, not to God. And I don't want any of you to be partners with demons. You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons, too. You cannot eat at the Lord's Table and at the table of demons, too. (NLT)
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
But I am not surprised! Even Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder his servants can also do it by pretending to be godly ministers. In the end they will get every bit of punishment their wicked deeds deserve. (NLT)
2 Thessalonians 2:9-10
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. (NIV)
What about Saul, Samuel and the witch of Endor?There is one somewhat confusing account in Scripture that seems to be the 'exception to the rule' in 1 Samuel 28:1–25. After the death of the prophet Samuel, King Saul was terrified of the threatening Philistine army and desperate to know the Lord's will. In his helpless desperation, he resorted to consulting with a medium, the witch of Endor.
Using demonic powers of sorcery, she called up Samuel. But when he appeared, even she was startled, for she had expected a satanic apparition and not Samuel himself. Shocked that God had intervened for Saul, the witch of Endor knew this "spirit coming up out of the ground" was not the result of her demonic conjuring.
So, Samuel's appearance here can only be explained as the unprecedented intervention of the Lord in response to Saul's hopeless desperation, permitting him one firm and final encounter with the prophet. The event in no way indicates God's endorsement of talking to the dead or consulting with mediums.
In fact, Saul is condemned for these actions in 1 Chronicles 10:13-14: "Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance, and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse." (NIV)
God has repeatedly made it clear in his Word that guidance is never to be obtained from mediums, physics or sorcerers, but rather, from the Lord himself.

Ohio State football videos perfected to an art
Although if you WEREN'T excited about Buckeye football after watching the last video, we recommend immediate medical attention, as somebody might have given you a lobotomy when you weren't looking. The official Ohio State website hosts the new edition, which features behind the scenes locker room footage, highlights, and enough fiery coach speeches to wake up even the most dormant and docile office worker. Feel free to blast it, full volume at your coworkers today and just glare at them. Does it include multiple angles of the crazy Devin Smith one handed catch? Why yes, it does. Does it contain perhaps the only memorable moments from the debacle that was the UAB game? Sure. Does it contain lots of bone-crushing tackles, coaches yelling, and fans screaming? I promise you, it's all there. So enough reading my blathering. Go watch the video, and EARN YOUR RESPECT (h/t Eleven Warriors)

by Hal Erickson synopsis
In this first episode of Frasier's second season, Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) discovers, to his horror, that his old Boston acquaintance, Thomas Jay Fallow (John O'Hurley), whom he took into his confidence back at Cheers, has written a sexy bestseller in which one of the characters is based on Frasier. Worse still, the novel describes in vivid detail the moment in which the 17-year-old Frasier surrendered his virginity to his piano teacher, Clarice (Constance Towers). A confrontation with Fallow leads to an awkward reunion with the now-elderly Clarice -- and yet another surprise for our beleaguered hero.

Why it took so long to get coordinators with previous NFL coordinating experience is still a mystery. Luckily the Chicago Bears now have an abundance of former Head Coaches on the sideline. Rod Marinelli is the Bears DC, Mike Martz is the OC and Mike Tice is the OLine coach.
On Sunday against the Cowboys the Bears offensive llne was an unmitigated disaster on our first several possessions. As a Bears fan, I wasn't surprised. But there was a palpable moment when Tice and Martz were called upon to do exactly what they were brought here to do, use their knowledge of X's and O's to counter quality NFL defenses with let's face (can't ignore it!) it inferior talent on the OLine. They did so in impressive fashion we won the game, and Jay Cutler survived what initially looked like a perilous day.
Sure the 2-0 start makes it easy to say this, but this new confidence in the Bears coaching staff has me seeing this team as one with potential once again. This coming Monday night against the Packers is going to be awesome. I expect good things.

Handicapping Picks for 10/20/2011
Race #6 - Rating = 2
#6 Shem - Fair odds 5/2
#5 Isle of Prado - Fair odds 3/1
#7 Moudez - Fair odds 3/1
Exacta: Box 5,6,7
Shem loves to win races, and is competitive even when he doesn't now with 10 wins in 39 races and 25 in-the-money finishes. He led late and ended up 3rd at this mile turf trip on 8/28 when not 100% ready to race following a year on the bench and after cutting back to a sprint for his next start on 10/2 he appears all set to stretch out once again and do well, particularly as he's reunited with Gutierrez, who rode him in the Northwest and who is a rock solid jockey who has won with nearly 30% of his 300 mounts this year to date.
Isle of Prado missed by a head one before last on the turf versus tougher and is one of only two horses in the field with a win this year so for the top Mitchell barn and with a Garcia riding him back after getting to know him when aboard for the first time in his recent 4th place effort to tougher he's got a big shot of being part of the exacta at the very least.
Moudez is the other horse with a win this year, 3 of them to be exact, in 8 races, so he certainly has to be respected, particularly as all three wins have come on the turf, in his last four races. With Bejarano getting on and having won 7 of 16 career grass races, Moudez rounds out our trio of contenders that stick out against the rest in this event.

"Kill Team" is a very well put together documentary about a number of U.S. soldiers based in Afghanistan who were caught being a part of a kill team that would routinely kill innocent civilians. This documentary is for anybody fascinated by the mentality and psychology promoted in the U.S. military to get their paid mercenary soldiers ready to steal resources and control populations on an international level.

In 1989, the following message was released to the Christian world in the form of an open letter by the revolutionary Muslim leader and martyr Muammar Qaddafi.

In this New Year's message, Qaddafi invites all believers to enter into reflection and dialogue to solve the crisis confronting humanity.

When discussing the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., especially his "I Have a Dream Speech," what is often missed is his concern for global justice, particularly in Africa.

In a world ruled by capitalism only the rich have rights. Everyone else exists solely to serve them, to enhance their wealth. Those of no profitable use should receive nothing.

Libya is a small country of just over 6 million people, but it possesses the largest oil reserves in all of Africa.

Broadway's ROCKY Begins Previews Tonight
ROCKY begins previews tonight, February 11, and officially opens on March 13 at Broadway's historic Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway, New York, NY).
ROCKY brings to life the iconic and inspiring story of struggling small time Philly boxer, Rocky Balboa, who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to go the distance against heavyweight champ Apollo Creed. Both an adrenaline-infused spectacle and a surprising story of blossoming romance between two lonely outsiders, Rocky is a heart-stopping and viscerally theatrical new musical for everyone brave enough to follow their dream.
Produced on a shoestring budget, the original 1976 film, Rocky, was shot in 28 days, and starred its young and then-unknown screenwriter, Sylvester Stallone. Like the character of boxer Rocky Balboa, Stallone had to fight the studio, which wanted more bankable stars like Ryan O'Neal or Burt Reynolds, to be cast in the role. Stallone's performance would earn him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and launch his career as one of Hollywood's biggest stars. The small underdog film went on to become an American film classic, winning the 1977 Academy Award for Best Picture, and launching one of the most successful and iconic characters in Hollywood history.
ROCKY features an original score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, the celebrated Tony Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated songwriters behind Ragtime, Once on This Island, and Anastasia, and a book by multiple Tony Award-winner Thomas Meehan (The Producers, Hairspray, Annie) and Sylvester Stallone, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the 1976 Oscar-winning Best Picture, Rocky.
The production is directed by Alex Timbers, the Tony-nominated director behind the acclaimed musicals Here Lies Love and Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson and Peter and the Starcatcher. The musical features choreography by Steven Hoggett, who received a Tony Award nomination for his work on Once and Kelly Devine, best known for the long-running Broadway hit Rock of Ages.
The Rocky cast features Andy Karl (Rocky), Margo Seibert (Adrian), Terence Archie (Apollo Creed), Dakin Matthews (Mickey) Danny Mastrogiorgio (Paulie), Jennifer Mudge (Gloria) and ensemble members Adrian Aguilar, Eric Anderson, Michelle Aravena, James Brown III, Sam J.

About Breast Reduction
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What is Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction surgery is a procedure to remove unwanted skin, fat and tissue in order to reduce breast size. During breast reduction surgery the surgeon cuts around the nipple, from the nipple down to the underside of the breast and across beneath the breast. After the fat and skin are taken away the nipple is often moved upwards.
Women with large breasts (macromastia) undertake breast reduction surgery to achieve pain reduction, improved self-image, improved confidence, or an increased ability to take part in physical activity.
Men may also undertake a breast reduction to correct gynecomastia (abnormal enlargement of the male breast).
Breast reduction is also known as reduction mammoplasty.
What surgeon performs Breast Reduction?
Your surgeon for a breast reduction procedure will usually be a cosmetic surgeon although general surgeons also perform this type of surgery.
How popular is this type of surgery?
Breast reduction is a reasonably common procedure and according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, approx. 90,000 American women had breast reduction surgery in 2008.
Duration of procedure/surgery:
The breast reduction operation will usually last between 2 and 5 hours.
Days admitted:
After a breast reduction you will stay overnight in the hospital or clinic where your procedure took place. Some breast reduction surgeries require a hospital stay of between 2 and 4 days.
A breast reduction procedure is usually carried out under general anesthesia. If your breast reduction surgery is carried out under local anesthesia you will also receive drugs to relax the body.
- After your breast reduction surgery you will need at least one week of rest, away from work. Some people need two weeks.
- You can resume full physical activity after one month to six weeks.
- Swelling and bruising will ease after a few days.
- You will have follow-up appointments for the removal of stitches and bandages around two weeks after breast reduction surgery.
Common risks when having breast reduction surgery include:
- Decreased sensation in the nipple and surrounding area following the surgery.
- Difficulty with breastfeeding after the procedure. If you have a breast reduction which separates the nipple from the milk duct you will be unable to breast feed. If you are considering starting a family you may wish to schedule a breast reduction for after the pregnancy in order to avoid these problems.
- Scarring. Breast reduction surgery creates scars and these scars are permanent. However, the scars will fade after the first year and most surgeons will place incisions so as to minimize the impact of the scars.
- Uneven nipple position or difference between the two breast sizes.
- Unwanted skin between and at the side of the breasts, which may require another surgery for removal.
- Adverse reaction to the medicine or anesthesia.
- Bleeding inside the breast (hematoma) which causes swelling.
- Rarely, loss of the nipple.
After care:
- Your breasts will be protected by supportive dressings, a support bra or elastic bandages.
- Wear a soft bra after the first week, day and night for many weeks, and loose clothing.
- You may have tubes attached to the breasts to drain fluids, which will be removed after three to five days.
- Take prescribed pain and nausea medications. Your doctor may also prescribe antibiotics to cut the risk of infection.
- Don't lift heavy objects as this can make scars worse.

SUNY Broome Recieves More Funds from the County
9/16/2013 (Updated 11:01:23 PM)When County Executive Debbie Preston released the details of next year's proposed budget on Wednesday, it contained good news for SUNY Broome.
For he first time in three years, the county will increase funding to the community college. Since the start of the recession , SUNY Broome is down about 20 administrative positions. The school will use the 137 thousand dollars in additional funding to replace two of those jobs: academic adviser and education pipeline expert.
"We're in a very labor intensive industry, in spite of all the advances made in technology and we do a lot of that, our distance learning is growing very fast, but there's only so much of that you can do as a community college and this will help us do a better job. In fact, our enrollment is also growing again, so basically, we need all the help we can get," said Dr. Kevin Drumm, president of SUNY Broome.
State aid to SUNY Broome has increased each of the last two years.

I created a e32dbm file in emulator through anydbm, and copied the resulting file to the device, using PyS60 1.3.8 SDK in 2ndEdFP3 SDK emulator.
At least with 1.3.1 Python on 1stEd device the file opened ok, but I had trouble accessing the contents.
So two questions really:
Are there differences in dbm file format across Symbian versions?
Should the same .e32dbm work both in emulator and device?

Zionsville —
Zionsville resident Clayton Kelly was one block and 25 minutes ahead of unthinkable terror Monday at the Boston Marathon that was marred by two explosions near the end of the race.
The explosions killed at least three people and injured dozens more. The Eagle Tribune (North Andover, Mass., a sister CNHI newspaper), reported that the explosions were just before the photo bridge near the finish line and Lenox Hotel and were apparently outside a building. A third explosion at the JFK Library near the finish line was found to be unrelated.
This was Kelly's first time running the Boston Marathon, and he finished the race at 1:53 p.m. in a time of 3:48:25. He and his wife, Linda, were about a block away from the finish line warming up in a medical tent when they heard the two explosions close together just before 3 p.m.
"We didn't feel it, we just heard it, and then we smelled it," Kelly said. "They started breaking out more cots."
That's when the Kellys realized it was time to go.
"We just thought it best to leave the area so they could focus on the people who needed attention the most," he said. The Kellys' hotel was just a few blocks from the finish line, so they followed the Boston police commissioner's advice to go to their hotel rooms and not congregate.
Victims of the blasts were being brought into the medical tent as they were leaving.
"They didn't look too good," Kelly said. "They were in shock and bloody."

Sather Press Release on Eric Christensen (Link)
Eric Christensen was put on IR and will be out 4 to 6 weeks.
Until Prospal and Callahan are ready to dress, that leaves the NYR with exactly 12 healthy forwards. The scuttlebutt has Todd White not being placed on re-entry waivers - so it would appear that Zuke and Weise get a pretty extended chance to prove their abilities at the NHL level.
If someone else goes down - who gets called up? It might depend on who gets hurt and the teams being played in the next couple of games - but it might make sense to look for someone with a similar skill set - possibly Tim Kennedy or Chad Kolarik (though neither appears to have the raw talent that E.C. has).

Strains are injuries to muscle due to overstretching, while sprains involve a stretch or a partial tear of ligaments (which connect two bones) or tendons (which connect muscle to bone). Sprains and strains happen more often in teens than in younger children.
Teach kids to warm up properly and to stretch before and after exercising or participating in any sport, and make sure they always wear appropriate protective equipment.

Heat down Pacers, set up NBA Final matchup versus Spurs
It took them getting pushed to the brink for the second year in a row, but the Miami Heat will be returning to the NBA Finals for the third straight time. Led by 32 points from LeBron James, the Heat dispatched the Indiana Pacers by a score of 99-76 in game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals on Monday night, setting up finals showdown against the San Antonio Spurs, which tips off on Thursday night.
As has been the case throughout the entire playoffs, James was the center of the Heat's success. Despite being down at the end of the first quarter, the Heat responded with a 33-point second quarter and staked out a halftime lead they would not relinquish. The reigning MVP had 18 points at intermission, and his performance continued a trend of him stepping up when his team needs it most.
"There's a notion that high-caliber players need to step up and play at the highest levels in Game sevens," James told ESPN.com. "I've been blessed to be pretty good in Game sevens in my career."
This won't be the first time that James has faced the Spurs in the championship round. In 2007, when he was still with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was swept by San Antonio thanks to a dominating performance from the likes of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili - all of whom are still with the Spurs.

Getting There
I guess I should start with the comical bus ride up into the mountains from Chiang Mai to Pai. I found myself on a mini bus with five sets of couples and a wacky driver. And then there was me. Being the lone solo traveler, the Thai driver took it upon himself to only speak to me for the entire three hour drive. He asked "why you no have boyfrem? You so bootyfull!" at least ten times. He seemed very concerned about my predicament and wouldn't let it go. I wanted to explain that I am actually not single and I have a girlfriend back home, but I've found that the word LESBIAN doesn't quite translate. Kate and I tried explaining it to some Thai waiters in Ko Phanang with no luck whatsoever. Thai people seem to be either bewildered or baffled by this concept. Since no one on the entire bus (besides me) would engage in any sort of dialogue with the driver, he sang his little heart out instead. Thai is not a pretty language and Thai music is even worse, so this was far from an enjoyable musical experience. It was like the first few episodes of American Idol. Luckily, the views were absolutely incredible and my jaw must have dropped 20 times as I looked out at the lush, green mountains. I knew I was on my way to somewhere wonderful.
PairadiseHere I am in Pai. A little piece of paradise - or Pairadise you might say. ;-) I wanted to end my travels somewhere peaceful and far removed from any sort of chaos or craziness. Pai is all of that, and more. It is situated in the very northern region of Thailand, very close to Myanmar. It is a tiny little town consisting of about four main streets that make up a bustling square. There is a smattering of temples around the area and loads of little shops and cafes. Every night, there is a market on the main walking street that reminds me of a good old Chicago summer street fest. It's different than the other markets I've visited in Thailand. For one, it's the first market I've seen offering vegan street food. Holla! The community here seems to be a very artsy one, so there is a lot of hand made jewelry, cool photographs, sketches and paintings for sale. It is by far my favorite night market in Thailand. If there was a slogan for Pai, I think it would be Don't Worry, Be Hippie.

Elephant EncountersOn my first full day in Pai, I rented a bicycle to ride out to the hot springs. The instant I got on that bike, I felt like a kid again. With the wind in my hair, I felt like I was going on some sort of adventure, and I was totally right. I had to work my ass off to get to my destination which was only 6 kilometers away. I should have been prepared for the hills but I wasn't. Duh, I'm in the mountains! Luckily, the scenery (once again) made up for the bitch of a bike ride. I was completely taken aback when I was just pedaling along, all peaceful and smiling, and bam! There is a massive elephant chomping on some grass on the side of the road. I really wish my iPhone wasn't stolen so I could share pictures with you. I did manage to snap some shots with my super cool, retro, disposable camera. Side note: Did you know elephants are the largest vegan animal?
I eventually made my way to the hot springs. Legs and ass feeling like jelly. Along the way I saw a dude riding another elephant along the river and again snapped some pictures with my cardboard piece of junk.
It gets even better. Picture this:
I'm sitting at lunch, sipping on my fresh coconut topped with a beautiful little hibiscus, scribbling away in my journal while Damien Rice plays in the background. Seconds later, the gorgeous elephant with the Thai guy on his back comes walking up! One of the ladies who worked at the restaurant called the elephant over like you would a dog. The elephant came walking right up to the open air restaurant and Mr. Elephant proceeds to stick his trunk inside so I could touch him! The lady ran and got a few cantaloupe halves and we each fed him; all the while Damien Rice is singing "can't take my eyes off of you." Fitting, right? It was one of those "is this really happening?" moments and I was giddy. There was no one else in the restaurant so I had the most intimate and unexpected elephant experience you could ever ask for.
Eventually, I rode my bike back into town. Lungs burning, quads begging for mercy, and I'm just telling myself to keep pedaling because at the end of this bike ride is a killer Thai massage for less than $5. Once I get back to the States, I will never again be able to tell myself that when I'm struggling on a run or during a hard workout. I am having a really hard time coming to terms with that. How will I possibly survive without my 1-2 massages a day? Seriously.
Pai at NightLast night, I sat around a bonfire at a super relaxed bar listening to live acoustic music. The first set was a British girl who played original stuff and some pretty awesome covers. Then two Thai guys came out and played covers with a guitar and a trumpet. I met people from Australia, Germany, the UK and the good ol' USA. It was a lovely, laid back night -- exactly what I was craving after the craziness of Koh Tao.

Note: Since my phone was stolen, I can't share any of my own photos so these are all from Google images. Please don't sue me if these are yours. Let's all just share the love and beauty of Pai. XO

When I moved to Beijing, in 2005, to write, I was accustomed to hearing the story of China's transformation told in vast, sweeping strokes—involving one fifth of humanity, and great pivots of politics and economics. But, over the next eight years, some of the deepest changes in the lives around me have been intimate and perceptual, buried in daily rhythms that are easy to overlook. ..... in my years in China, I have been seized most of all by the sense that the national narrative, once an ensemble performance, is splintering into a billion stories.

I thoroughly enjoy Osnos' writing and often read his "blog."
But I feel that what he's really saying here is that he has begun to see the society he covers as one comprised of individuals. It's not China that has changed, so much as his experience of it.
I dunno -- while that gradually-increasing awareness definitely happens to most journalists here, and likely also to Osnos, there's something to the idea that society itself really is broadening out and diversifying. The variety of experience now possible in China is so much greater than what it was thirty years ago...

Listen, Engage, Respond: Social Media in Crisis
There is no question that social media is becoming a more prominent player in crisis communications. Experts including Leslie Gaines-Ross of Weber Shandwick and Jeremiah Owyang are telling us that preparing for a crisis can help cut the duration, the costs, and in some cases, avoid the actual event itself. In an effort to address the increasing need for organizations to learn how to prepare for crisis with a solid communications strategy, CKSyme.org will turn its attention to this important field over the next few months exclusively.
In a recent survey I did for the Council of Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) on the use of social media in crisis, it was clear that education institutions, as a whole, are better prepared for the operational side of crisis, but are woefully lacking in the important area of reputation and crisis communications.
Our crisis communications training, "Listen, Engage, and Respond," is based on over 10 years of crisis experience and study. The curriculum pays specific attention to digital applications of crisis communications and includes an all-important reputation piece.
1. Listen. Do you know what's being said about you online? Monitoring is the important first step. Depending on who you are, you'll want to monitor a number of searches related to your organization and sector. In a recent presentation to U.S. Sailing, I encouraged attending organizations to sign up for a Twitter account and take a look at some free monitoring programs just to get a feel for what is out there. You need to get online and listen to the community before you can engage them. Twitter is becoming the medium of choice for emergency management. This was echoed in a good read from Dallas Lawrence on preparing your team to use Twitter in crisis. I'll write more about this in coming weeks.
2. Engage. Once you have your feet wet monitoring and understand how social media works, build your communities. Start with Facebook and Twitter. Then, spread out if you have the inclination and time. Learn how to make Facebook a place where people get relevant information from you that helps them. It's not about broadcasting. The more you can engage people, the more they will come to your aid in a crisis. Twitter is real-time. Learn how to use it and learn how it differs from Facebook.
3. Respond. The respond piece of our planning curriculum involves authoring a number of documents including a triage ladder for internal response, media relations training, writing a social media policy, setting up a response team, and a number of other tasks. Basically, it prepares you for the onslaught. We promote cross training in crisis response. If a real crisis hits, you'll want to get all hands on deck, and you'll want them confidently trained. This piece also includes training, fire drills, and evaluation basics.
Over the next few months, you'll see us concentrate more on crisis communications in relation to social media topics. It is my hope that you will learn to "be your own media" and confidently face any crisis that comes your way. You'll hear from me, and you'll hear from others who know a lot more than I do. Stay tuned.

A Topeka teenager is charged with four felonies in what the Shawnee County District Attorney calls a planned school shooting.
Brendan Steven Moore, 17, was charged Wednesday with four counts of soliciting first-degree murder.
District Attorney Chad Taylor says the teen was planning to shoot administrators at the school.
"This was a student who was orchestrating an attempt to terminate the lives of two law enforcement officers and two administrators inside of Topeka West High School," he said.
According to court documents, on Dec. 12 Moore requested help from three others to kill two vice principals and two law enforcement officers who work at the school. Police said they got a tip about it and immediately put a stop to the threat.
As their investigation continued for the next 40 days, court documents say the teen was out of the county, although authorities won't say where.
Taylor says the teenager was arrested Tuesday evening outside Topeka. He had a detention hearing scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
Students at Topeka West High School said the student arrested is a class clown with a small group of friends. They said he has made threats in the past, but no one took him seriously until now.
"He would joke around. He'd laugh and say he's going to blow this school up. He'd joke around. No one would take him seriously about it. But now someone has taken him seriously. Yeah. It's pretty scary," said senior Sara Stewart.
Authorities credit the tipster for stopping what could have been a real tragedy.
"We had no way of knowing unless someone told law enforcement. That's why I am trying to deliver the message today that is so important. Which is, 'If you believe you know of a kid who is acting erratically, talking about stuff that's way out of the norm of what they should be talking about, to let law enforcement know,'" Taylor said.
Students KCTV5 spoke with said they understand what they say can have serious consequences.
"Think before you say. Take it more seriously. You are putting your life and future on the line. He's going to be in jail for a long time for this even if it was just a joke," Stewart said.
Moore is being charged as a juvenile but Taylor says he'll seek to have him tried as an adult. His bond was set at $1 million.
Taylor said Moore is the only person facing charges and that there were no other co-conspirators involved. The teen's family had no comment.

Five Points limits denied
Date: May 7, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The city's Parks, Recreation and Environmental Protection Advisory Board has denied a request to toughen rules that police say could help fight crime in Five Points Park.
The Five Points Neighborhood Association had asked the board to consider earlier closing hours, a smoking ban and tighter limits on permitting.
Currently, the park closes at 2:30 a.m. Smoking is allowed throughout the park, and those holding events only need a city permit if 75 people or more are in attendance.
The board denied the request to change the closing hour to 11 p.m. and the permit limit to 25 people. It did recommend creating designated smoking areas on the sidewalk.
The president of the Five Points Neighborhood Association, Andy Frank, presented her case, saying that the park is basically the front yard for the residents in Five Points condos.
Lt. Jeff Karr, of the Sarasota Police Department, was there to support Frank.
"I asked (the board), 'If you had someone drunk, exposing himself and urinating in your front yard, how would you feel about it,'" Karr said.
Said Frank: "I found it unusual that a city board listened to a police officer and then ignored his recommendation."
Both Frank and Karr said they felt the board members had their minds made up to deny the requests before they heard the testimony.
Board member Brie Ondercin said members may have formed an opinion as they read their information packets prior to the meeting, but there was no discussion among the members beforehand.
In addition, Ondercin said two years ago the board took up the issue to close the park earlier and rejected it, so the request to was unlikely to be approved now.
"We don't want to change park hours, because it's a park in an urban environment, with nightlife," she said.
"It's unfortunate the park has a lot of illegal activity, but that would happen at any urban park."
Ondercin said it was city attorney Sarah Warran who recommended the board not change the permit limit to 25 people.
Warren said a U.S. Supreme Court case from Chicago stated that a 50-person limit allowed people to exercise their constitutional rights, such as free speech and the right to assemble. Warren thought going below that 50-person limit could be subject to a legal challenge.
Ondercin presented the results of the parks board meeting to the City Commission May 4. Commissioner Fredd Atkins asked whether confining smokers to the sidewalk was wise, because the non-smokers passing by would have to walk through the cigarette smoke.
Todd Kucharski, public works general manager, said the board would look at the smoking issue again.
Frank is hoping the parks board and the City Commission will also reconsider the other two issues.
"I would like for this to come up again," she said.

Well someone fell asleep at the wheel or someone simply is trying to rub it in the face of Spurs fans across the globe but NBA TV had a snafu and aired a commercial for Spurs NBA championship gear.
That's right, not the back-to-back champs Heat, but the Spurs commemorative items such as DVD, Spurs championship towel, cap, tee-shirt and more.
Check out what could have been for San Antonio and for those Spurs fans across the world, get ready for a kick in the groin (h/t Project Spurs).

Ty Lawson scored 25 points, Andre Miller had 20 points and nine assists and the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-104 Tuesday night to win a 13th straight game for the first time since joining the NBA.
The Nuggets trailed by one at halftime but took control in the third quarter and never let Oklahoma City reclaim the lead. Denver moved within 3½ games of the Thunder in the Northwest Division and became the first team this season to beat Oklahoma City three times.
It's also a big win in the chase for home-court advantage in the playoffs for Denver, which is tied with Miami for the NBA's best home record at 30-3.
Kevin Durant had 34 points and Russell Westbrook chipped in 25 for Oklahoma City, which lost at home for just the fifth time this season.

Enjoyed this offering at the brewery in Florida last week. (And some others as well!) Then I bought a sixer from the local market. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Two different brews. Turns out the bottles are brewed in Portsmouth NH (Redhook??) and they are really not doing this fine brewery any favors. I'd rate the bottles drinkable but not very good.
On draft it's a different dog, very nicely balanced, maybe a bit towards the malt. A mightyfine pale. Avoid the bottle but visit the brewpub for a fine selection of ales.
(March 27, 2009) I emailed the brewery and got a prompt and honest response:
'We use to bottle our own beer but it was too expensive. Our contract brewer is in South Carolina not New Hampshire though. I thought the Redhead came out much better than the Pale myself. Also the Piper's at the pub has probably been tweeked some since the bottles came out. We're always trying to improve.'
Beer folk are great! Just sayin'

No IPAs on tap, but the server said this would satisfy my hops urge.
Served in a pint glass the beer was a hazy orange color. It had a medium-sized white head and lots of lace.
Sweet malt aroma. Citrus and floral hops.
Hops up front, mostly grapefruit but a little bit of piney hops there too. Biscuity background.
Nicely balanced.
Good beer.

A lively brew, to put it mildly. Pours EXTREMELY effervescently (read: one carbonated SOB) and amused the hell out of my kids when a one ounce refill pour into a half full glass caused an overflow. Slightly cloudy gold with a white head and a lot of it - think the Larry Tate of beers. Solid aroma - slightly yeasty, honey-toasty malt with some citrus hops and a faint whiff of diacetyl.
Starts with a slightly rindy bitterness with a biscuity maltiness, again with hints of buttery tang. Not as much going on here as the aroma would have me believe. Slight yeastiness in here as well. The underlying bitterness follows through all sip long, with faint citrus hoppiness to the end along with the biscuity malt. Very consistent, no surprises. Slightly thin, obviously carbonated mouthfeel. Definitely a drinkable, quaffable beer - on tap this would be a solid session brew in the hot Florida weather.
Thanks to Wingnut for the bottle - there are signs of beer life in the Sunshine State. :thumbup:

I walked into a shop here in Tampa Bay, really longing for something local. I've been to Tampa Bay Brewing a few years ago and was well impressed. I wanted something like that, but in a bottle and now and from a big ole chain liquor shop.
Stomped in there with a purpose, only local beer there was from the Dudedin Brewery and fucking bless them - it was a pint bottle. It was a part of a 4 pack but also very clearer available as a single. Boom.
It had a hop presenceI wasn't really expecting (maybe because I just got out of a Devil Ray game and was a long way from the hop bomb West Coast I call home). It stood it's own with the West Coast PAs I know too well. If anything the hops seem a bit overbearing. Yes, this surprised me.
From what I've had - this is the best beer I've had in a bottle from Florida.

A massive white craggy head topped this pale amber colored beer in the glass. It took me 3 pours to finally empty the bottle the head was so massive. And it stayed forever. A half hour later and I still have over 1/4" of sticky lacing covering the top of this brew.
Aroma is slightly sweet and toasty without much in the way of hops,however A little soapy smelling as it warms, too.
Taste is sweeter than I would like from a pale ale...seems a cross between a scotish, a light amber, and a pale. As it warms toasted flavors become even more prominent. Mildish hops come at the end, but a little too little too late.

Ah, after visiting the brewery I was wondering how they ever found the space to bottle. I thought they might have just had a Meheen and done a few hundred cases at a time; but I see it's a contract brew. So...
A: Clear golden amber body beneath a creamy head of off-white. The head retention is good, and the lacing is better than average. A few streams of tiny bubbles can be seen steadily rising upwards.
S: Sweetish, doughy and caramelish malt greets you in the nose, gently backed by soft, leafy hops.
T: The flavor follows the aroma, and it's a very nicely rounded and balanced combination of sweetish malt and soft English hops. A stiff bitterness balances it, and it finishes dry with some residual malt and hops.
M: Medium bodied with a dextrinous edge. Moderate carbonation. Gently creamy and smooth.
D: Quite nice! Like most English pale ales it's quite drinkable. The malt component is solid and flavorful, and the hop balance is very nicely done. I could enjoy a few of these.

16oz single, from BIF across america and BRoss42
appearance: pours in its entirety into a great dane imperial pint glass...the appearance is actually very impressive...a clear amber-orange body with a very nice beige snow cap and great retention
smell: fairly high malt presence, hops are grassy and herbal...peppery, roasted nuts, sweet and bready....i like them a little hoppier but nothing bad going on here
taste: sweet caramel malt, slightly fruity, heavy roasted nut taste which I kind of like for this beer, apple, grassy hop presence but not a hop monster...pretty good
mouthfeel: a little thin, chalky, slight bitterness
drinkability: pretty easy drinking

Judged "Best Beer in Florida" printed on label. 16oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a dark orangish copper color with a semi-sticky white head. The smell consists of a biscuity malt aroma with caramel, bread and some nice pine/citrus hops as well. The taste begins with a brief malt presence and is quickly covered up by a long and lingering hop bitterness. The taste is good but it suffers a little because of it's lack of balance. Overall, this is a pretty decent good beer with a good dose of hops.

I've had bottles of this and tried it on tap and man is the tap stuff fresh! Was at the brewey the other day and tried this again...
This is a nice light copper colored ale that pours a thin head and leaves some lace on the glass. Boy do the hops come through nicely on this one. Not overpowering at all. This has great hop flavor without being a "HOP-BOMB". Since it is more subdued, it contributes to the overall drinkability and makes for a very pleasant mouthfeel.

A: Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a massive head that fades quickly.
S: Sweet caramel malts mixed with a spicy hop twang.
T: Malty sweetness up front along with a bite of piney hop bitterness, nicely balanced. Aftertaste fades to a slight honey flavor.
O: Solid brew here. The only thing I didn't like was that the beer was a bit over carbonated, it came spewing out of the bottle when it was opened.

Pours pleasant golden out of the faux silk-screened bottle (a clever clear sticker!) with a decent head. Clear, with slight carbonation and the head leaving a thick, ragged lace.
Candy caramel malts and slight hops greet the nose. Same candy malts join a slightly astringent hop profile on the toungue. Overall a decent brew, my first florida beer that did not disappoint. A bit thin, but pretty smooth. Overall, a solid brew.

Poured a hazy pale amber with a nice stream of bubbles coming up from the glass. Bice big white head gave way slightly but stuck around till the bottom of the glass. Sone nice lace held outh till the end. The smell was slightly hoppy, with more of a grassy earthy tone to it, hints of sweetness as well. The taste was a bit light, watered down, but was a typical pale ale. Very smooth going down and overall a fine pick. This would make a nice session ale and always good to try something new.

My favorite Dunnedin offering! Hoppy-slightly vegetal-in the lines of Dogfish 60 minute, with a very crisp-clear and clean appearance and mouthfeel. Straw to peach in color and fills the pint-glass perfectly. Definetly could call itself IPA if it felt like it. If you're going to Disneyworld or Busch Gardens on vacation, this is the Florida beer you need to try before you go home to those cold northern wastes.

Pale copper in color, nice beige bubbly hop filled head. Noticable hop aroma, although I am not sure which variety is used. Taste is typical American Pale Ale, hoppy and crisp, but with a subtle scotch ale influence. Slightly earthy, spicy taste, with a crisp finish. Subtle oak whisky taste is more noticable as the beer warms. A bit lit bodied, but very complex and very tasty. If you ever find yourself in the Tampa, FL look for the Dunedin beers.

Pours a deep amber color. Big foamy off-white head that falls slow. Big foamy lace.
Rather clean citrus aroma.
Rather bold flavor. Mild hops come through but obvious malts are present. Seems to be nicely balanced.
Medium bodied in the mouth with moderate carbonation.
Decent beer. Easy drinking.

Pours a clear orange/light amber with a 3/4 finger white head that dissipated a little fast and leaves no lacing at all.
Smell is a bit of stale wheat and pineapple. Almost skunked but it's not really the same smell. Kind of that cheap beer smell.
Taste is not as bad as the smell. Still get that cheap taste, especially on the way down, but there is at least a noticeable malt and hop presence there.
Medium-light body good carbonation, mouthfeel is probably the only part of this beer that I really enjoyed.
This review is for the version bottled in South Carolina. I really need to get down to the brewery and tell them to end their contract because it's not helping them from what I've been reading.

Pint bottle received from LuckySevens82 and BIF33 - Team Spring.
Pours a clear amber to really close to red colored ale with a fast fading white head.
Smell is quite sweet and quite hoppy with a good pine and menthol smell to it. Quite clean smelling but not real complex.
Taste is sweet and malty at the very start with a little hop astringency. Good hop flavor that is very much herbal and not "C" hops flavor at all. Good flavor but there is a slight harsh edge to this.
Mouthfeel is good.
An OK if basic pale ale.
Well I can't say that anything about this ale is all that interesting. Sure it is drinkable but I will see if any SNPA is available first.

Pours with a pretty honey body and a thick, fairly sticky tan head. Unfortunately there's just not much hop aroma that comes out of the beer. A slight nose of bittering hops and sweet malty backbone. Taste is pretty nice. Sweetish malty character and a nice bittering hop end. Again, not much in the way of aroma hops (unfortunately). Medium mouthfeel and fairly highly carbonated. Good drinkability, but not as good as their Celtic Gold.
