R.I.P. Adrain Peterson's son, who has now passed away
10/11/13 in NFL | JoeKukura | 492 respect
That is not the little boy who passed away in the photo at left. That is little Adrian Peterson, Jr., who is also Peterson's son. The name and identity of Peterson's slain son have not been released, though Sioux Fall police say they will release the name next week.
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader is reporting that Adrian Peterson's son has died from head injuries after a vicious assault by his mother's boyfriend, 27-year-old Joseph Robert Patterson of Sioux Falls. Peterson is still expected to play Sunday when the Vikings play the Carolina Panthers Sunday in Minnesota.
"I really appreciate all the support that I've received from fans and the Vikings organization," Peterson told reporters earlier today. "This is a private matter, and I'm going to ask you all to please just respect my privacy."
"The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players," Peterson tweeted this morning. "God Bless everyone and thank u so much."
It must be particularly difficult for Peterson, not only because the young victim was not publicly known to be his son. It's also got to be tough because his charity the All Day Foundation specifically works with victims of child abuse. Peterson also does a great deal of work with Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. He'll surely be reminded of this incident each time he sets foot in a children's hospital.
A candlelight vigil is being scheduled for the young boy tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Sertoma Park in Sioux Falls.

STAUNTON, Va. - Dan Funk lives in Staunton and is trying to launch a business called Makerspace.
"Having these Makerspaces that allow people access to this equipment and to other people who know how to use this equipment opens us up to local innovation," he says.
He says that it's hard for many entrepreneurs to get a loan.
"if you invest a lot of money starting up a business, that's much more risky to the bank so it's much harder for them to justify that loan," Funk says.
Thursday night, the Staunton Creative Community Fund held a meeting and one of its topics was an idea called Slow Money, which would pair local entrepreneurs with investors.
Christina Cain works with the organization and thinks that Slow Money is an interesting concept.
"We've got investor on one side and small business needs that investment to help get their idea off the ground and slow money helps connect those two parties together," says Cain, "I really do feel like a slow money initiative is reflective of the wants and needs of Staunton."
The idea is just in its early stages, but Funk thinks that more people should invest into the community.
"The vast majority of us walking around here today have money in mutual fund that go to support giant banks and corporations that aren't investing in this community," Funk says.
He also hopes he can soon get his idea of Makerspace off the ground.

"Anti-war protest has little impact anymore, because it has devolved into gathering on a weekend in the political capital, marching around empty streets with pre-printed signs, mouthing toothless chants and listening to cliched speeches. It is too predictable and too easy to ignore, by rulers who are insulated from the ruled by dollars and truncheons. On the other hand, occupying space in the heart of a city without end is a challenge to state power.
Keeping a space continually, and using democratic forms of self-governance recreates the commons, which has been colonised over decades by full-spectrum consumption - shopping, eating, drinking, entertainment and paid spectacle. Occupy Wall Street attracted throngs of journalists and the curious because it was a completely different spectacle. It was a miniature society that rejected the private, individualism and capitalism. The scene of hundreds of people exchanging food, art, music, knowledge, politics, healthcare, shelter, anger, ideas, skills and love was unlike anything else in our consumer societies - because not one exchange was lubricated by money (of course the goods were paid for at some point). Within the occupation, thousands shared the experience of having a direct democratic stake in a society they were helping to build from scratch.
It was the Occupy movement that created the people - "the 99 per cent" - not the other way around. The range of politics and issues ran the gamut, but having the space for collective discussion gave occupiers the time to coalesce around the idea that society's problems stem from the concentration of wealth and power among "the one per cent". Thus, those who lack healthcare, had homes foreclosed upon, are unemployed, stuck in low-wage jobs, are homeless, subject to repressive immigration laws, burdened with student debt, opposed to destructive energy extraction or angered by corporate personhood and a political system corrupted by money could find common cause and unite against a common enemy."
Boal on Newspaper Theatre
From Legislative Theatre, p235: "The primary objective of Newspaper Theatre is to devolve theatre to the people. The secondary objective is to attempt to demystify the pretended 'objectivity' of most journalism, to show that all news published in the paper is a work of fiction at the service of the dominant class. Even accurate news, where the facts are not misrepresented (a very rare thing), becomes fiction when published in a newspaper at the service of this class." — Augusto Boal
Some of the largest demonstrations in the history of Madrid, Santiago (Chile), Montreal, Frankfurt, and Moscow rose up in the streets in common call this past week. The people on the ground referenced each other's particular resistance movements, from the Spanish call to Indígnate to the New York-cum-global call to Occupy. People continued to march or rebel, depending on their capacity for struggle, in New York, the Bay Area, Bahrain, Gaza, and Syria.
By week's end, our eyes have shifted to Chicago, where the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, an anachronistic western coalition of former colonial empires that was formed officially to counter Soviet influence, assembled to discuss the 11-year occupation of Afghanistan and the coercive administration of neo-colonialism the world over.
Are there divisions in the halls of power? Many. Some have hopes that the moderate "Socialist" president of France, Francois Hollande, may take stiffer stances against austerity and European intervention in other continents. Many have similar expectations of Syriza, the Greek party that was partly born out of the counter-globalization movement, which is now in the lead for the second round of elections. When people rise in the streets, it sharpens the contradictions in the strategies of rule by the world's rich until, sometimes. And just sometimes, they are pushed from below to abandon the most egregious of structures.
Quebec is witnessing what some say are its largest marches in history, where a student strike (GGi) will wake to it's 100th dawn this coming Tuesday. Late Friday night, the provincial government passed the emergency Loi 78 (or as one angry assemblyman called it, Loi Fuck) to suppress the student resistance, prompting some legislators to walk out and call for mass civil disobedience. Twenty-five thousand students hit the streets the next day to challenge authorities. Similar movements against austerity have been hitting Chile for years, and this week has seen them flow back into the streets, banging a cacerolazo in a resounding opposition to President Piñera. In Moscow, fraudulent elections pulled tens of thousands into the streets, and though police violence depleted their numbers, still they rise. In Frankfurt, the financial capital of Germany, they too saw twenty-five thousand join Blockupy to prove that austerity is just as unpopular in the power base of the European Union as it is in the smaller economies that it tries to beat into submission.

Occupy the Mail
A National Call to Solidarity With the United States Postal Service
What: Occupy the Mail is a national call to action to stand in solidarity with the United States Postal Service (USPS) workers. The USPS is undergoing major reform, with proposed ideas such as a 50-cent stamp, "changes" to employee health care benefits and cutting up to 150,000 employees through retirement. Occupy the Mail requests that working groups inside of Occupy Wall Street, as well as Occupations nationwide, to take action immediately.
Who: Occupy the Mail's National Call to Action is for the hundreds of Occupations in the United States to participate. The following idea can be brought to specific working groups or to the general assemblies. The proposal is for each occupation to open a P.O Box—so that occupiers would not have to give out their personal addresses—that the entire occupation could then publicly shout out. Occupiers could then send letters back and forth to one another, in order to update each other on their progress, increase solidarity, and build communication and understanding about the productivity of other occupations.
Where: Occupy the Mail wants to spread across the nation, not only to occupations but to households as well. As the letters get processed and sent across the nation, they will touch the hands of hundreds of USPS employees who will have the opportunity to read the messages of solidarity from the occupiers.
When and Why: A retired member of the United States Postal Service recently came to an Occupy Wall Street General Assembly to ask for solidarity from OWS for a massive USPS action that is taking place on March 17th. The NYCGA reached consensus on the proposal for solidarity. As a show of respect and solidarity, Occupy the Mail thinks that March 17th would be an appropriate day to launch the Occupy the Mail campaign.
How to take action: Grab a pen and paper, and start writing letters. Address them to friends, family or other occupations. In your letters, inform the recipients as to why we stand in solidarity with the USPS. Inform the recipient of how hard you are working with your local occupation. Seal the letter, and add a personalized message to the USPS from your occupation! (Postcards are available. For more information email firstname.lastname@example.com)
THE DAILY OCCUPIER, MARCH 22, 2012 (NY Times City Room Blog):
By 11:30 p.m., as police officers massed on Broadway, a commander announced that the park was closed. Those inside shouted back that the park was obliged through an agreement with the city to remain open. The commander then announced that anyone who remained inside would be arrested and charged with trespassing.

10 Ways to Be Selfless in a "Selfie" Culture
- Thursday, March 27, 2014
Ellen DeGeneres' Oscar night "selfie," taken with a gang of A-list celebrities, was retweeted 870,000 times that night, becoming the most shared tweet ever. British Prime Minister David Cameron's "selfie" of his phone call to President Obama sparked an onslaught of parodies from mocking celebrities around the world.
Like it or not, the "selfie" is a part of our society. A recent survey finds that nearly half of U.S. adults have taken a selfie. Odds are, you are one of them, as I am.
The "selfie" has made a tremendous cultural impact, so much so that Oxford Dictionaries named "selfie" the 2013 word of the year. Who can blame them? Last year alone, use of the word (and the likely the practice) went up an astounding 17,000 percent.
This isn't necessarily a new phenomenon. Self-portraits have been in existence since the invention of photography. But, with the dawn of social media, we now live in a world were self-value lies in the size of your digital network…and in getting reaction to those "selfies."
While it can seem relatively harmless, there's definitely a part of the "selfie" phenomenon that makes us think of words like "narcissism" and "self-obsession." In this social media age, even if we don't take photos of ourselves, we are all guilty of being overly self-promotional at times and inadvertently (if not on purpose) linking our self-worth to likes, shares and comments. Our identity becomes defined by how many friends and followers we have on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and how they respond to our posts.
The problem is not the self-portrait. The problem is our sin nature. The problem is our self-centeredness.
In the office, our "selfie" mindset makes many of us quick to seek face-time with the bosses so they know who we are and what we do. We take credit for things we weren't solely responsible for, or we step on others to increase our domain. We become name-droppers if we feel it will make us look more important. We will criticize another if it keeps us from a difficult situation.
For job-seekers, having a self-focus is nearly mandatory, as you are pitching yourself and your attributes to a potential employer. Your only hope is the opportunity for a face-to-face interview so your true personality can shine through.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5). But, often in the corporate environment, the meek are viewed as weak and passed over for promotions. How do we fight the urge to join in the world's "selfie" parade (online and in the office) when it seems to fly in the face of Biblical teaching?
Here are a 10 ways we can challenge ourselves to avoid a "selfie" mindset in the workplace:
1. Learn how to be truly empathetic. Empathy means that you understand another person's feelings or emotions. How would our corporate environments differ if we all truly sought to understand our colleagues?
2. When you start to have a "selfie" mindset, flip the script: think about others. "Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves" (Philippians 2:3).

Once upon a time the learner motorcycle world was only filled with two-strokes. And once your eyes had stopped running the only quality trailie was Yamaha's DT125. And it was madly expensive.

The Suzuki DR125SE, is a straightforward but attractively styled four-stroke learner trailie that was only available for a limited period, so rare now.

With its low price, air-cooled, four-stroke motor and simple steel chassis the Yamaha TT600R represents the utilitarian side of modern biking. It does have some off-road pretensions, but it's most at home pressed into the role of tough urban commuter. On the flip side, the Yamaha TT600R turns motorways into instruments of torture.

The Honda Dominator is the motorcycle that defined the 'urban trailie' craze of the Nineties. Beloved by town-bound motorcycle couriers and B-road hackers thanks to its punchy delivery, rufty-tufty build quality and commanding riding position the Honda Dominator still makes its mark as a value-for-money commuting motorcycle.

The Suzuki RV125 VanVan is an enigmatic motorcycle, that's for sure. Farm hands, gamekeepers, race teams and surf dudes would be the ideal customers: it's perfect for whizzing around country estates, race paddocks and beaches.

The Honda SLR650 is a fairly joyless machine that barely redeems itself as a reasonably efficient commuter. Essentially it's a more heavily road-biased Dominator built at Honda's plant in Spain, back in the days when the Continental factory's quality control occasionally went adios.

Taking the Pressure out of Sports
Entering the Sports Maze
Dawna Cobb of Baltimore vividly recalls the summer that her kids' sports became too much. It was in 2000, when she listened as her two sons asked if they could join a travel baseball team. Cobb and her husband, Paul Hulleberg, decided to let the boys have their way, although Anders and Lucas, then 11 and 8, were already playing in a recreational baseball league and on the school lacrosse team. The parents wondered: Maybe three team commitments wouldn't be much more hectic than two?
Looking back, Cobb can laugh. Within weeks the family was near exhaustion. "Our children love sports and so do we. But it got to be ridiculous," she recalls. One especially absurd experience stands out: driving approximately 25 miles on a rainy day to one son's travel-team game, returning home to change into dry clothes, then going back to watch her other son in another game. In all, the boys played 68 games in roughly four months.
Welcome to youth sports in the 21st century. The freckled faces and knobby knees you remember from your days rounding the bases still dot the sports landscape, but just about everything else has changed. Today's athletes start earlier than ever, with kids as young as 2 or 3 taking sports lessons and joining tot leagues by age 5. About 26.1 million children -- more than half of all 6- to 17-year-olds -- suit up with an organized sports team, according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association in North Palm Beach, FL.
For parents, there's pressure to get their kids involved in sports at young ages but also confusion about how much is too much and how soon is too soon. Most children can begin playing sports as young as age 5 and competing around age 8, says John Engh, vice president of youth development at the National Alliance for Youth Sports in West Palm Beach, FL. There are a few Tiger Woods-esque children who are ready and willing to compete at age 3, but that's rare, he adds. Still, the lure, however unrealistic, of turning children into pros has some families rushing to enter the sports maze.

Please also see our project on the New Wiring and Cable Colours.
Make sure you have isolated any circuit you are working on and see our electrical safety project
Relax!!! This problem does not mean you have a major wiring fault. This is a never ending problem which has been looked into for donkeys years. A wiring fault in your circuit will be picked up by fuses and MCB's long before it gets to the bulb.
There are a few reasons bulbs can blow, the major one being cheaper bulbs. The elements in cheap bulbs are much thinner and any surge of power, however slight, simply breaks them. Always go for more expensive, better quality light bulbs, its cheaper in the long run.
A loose connection in the lamp holder can also cause bulbs to blow. This is because the circuit is not completed as tightly as it could be and the electricity may have cause to "arc" or jump across the contact, rather than simply flowing through it. When this happens it produces more heat in the fitting than is expected or catered for by the bulb, and the bulb can blow.
The same can happen if the spring loaded connection in the bulb holder is slightly loose. This will cause electricity to arc across the contact, cause too much heat and blow the bulb. This can very often be diagnosed by looking at the contact on the bottom of the bulb to see if it is pitted. Arcing electricity effectively melts the metal it is arcing onto ( This is how arc welding works) so if the bulb contact is being subjected to arcing, tiny little indentations occur, called pitting.
It is sometimes possible, if the live connection in your light switch is a little loose, for this to happen here also. Heat will be generated and it is possible, though very very remote, for the bulb to blow as a result of this.
When a bulb blows, 99% of the time the fuse for the lighting circuit will blow or trip also. This makes the problem seem rather bigger than it actually is. The reason for a blowing lamp tripping an MCB is that the lamp element gets thinner during its life to the point where it breaks at the thinnest point, this point will melt just before failure. The resistance of the overheating element will momentarily be very low and a current surge is caused, this is picked up by MCB's but generally not fuses.
So, three things to look into if your bulbs keep blowing. Your bulb supplier, The wire connections inside your bulb holder, and if the spring loaded connectors are working properly inside the bulb holder. As a last resort you can also check the tightness of the connections in your switch.
For regulations governing heights of sockets etc, please see our socket height project
Make sure you have turned the power off before you do any maintenance whatever. Read our projects on electrical safety and Part P building Regulations. Be careful out there !

99% of the time tungsten fillamented bulbs have their own fuses built into the stem. these nearly always blow as the lamp fails, usually saving the main fuse. The reason stated, although possible , is not common. What usually occurs is at the point of the filament failing (usually at switch on), an expanding arc occurs, melting back the filament as it goes. The arc's ionised low impedance path allowing more current to flow, the remaining parts of filament soon devoured by the extra heat and current ,until , usually around 1 second later, the arc bridges both supply `arms`. THIS is when the fuse(s) in the stem of the bulb fuse.
A further comment from another user, Chris Riley
There is a situation where "Blowing Light Bulbs" is not fairly immediate, but where the life of the lamp does not meet a customers expectation of a nominal 1000 hours burning. This is a grey area also described as "my light bulbs keep blowing" by people.
Articles and letters in a Professional publication over the years (when 240volts was rated standard) have indicated that:
- An increase of 5% above the rated voltage of a light bulb reduces its life by 50%.
- Mounting a lamp with base down and bulb upper reduced life by 50%.
I have no references to whatever research, but trust the knowledge of members of an Engineering Institution.Now, those living close to an Electricity Substation will receive a voltage higher than the nominal, so that those furthest away still have a proper supply.
So we can have:
- a. Reduce your 1000 hour lamp burning expectancy by 50% to 500hours.
- b. Maybe reduce your 500 hour lamp expectancy for your base down wall lights to 250 hours.
To complicate matters further, I have tried the "lifetime guarantee" light bulbs (recently with 10 year guarantee). Two blew at switch on!!

time for a change
April 12, 2011.
back to business.
two rules:
Say what you need to do. Then do what you say.
+knowing it will be worth it
I never meant to hurt anyone throughout my life. I try and avoid it as much as possible, but maybe it is inevitable. Regardless I am sorry to anyone I've ever hurt in my life. Whether it was just the heat of the moment or me being stubborn I'm sorry
pure nostalgia with this song.
havent been on tumblr in a while so I went back and read some old posts. I realized that this is what tumblr is about. To one day go back on all your writing and see how much you've progressed. To go back and remember all the highs and rememeber all the lows and learn from all the experiences you had.

There are a lot of good points about buying a maxi scooter like the SR Max. Fuel economy is one, simplicity is the other. There aren't many full-licenced motorcyclists who would buy a scooter on these benefits alone because of the image they portray of being 'a ladies bike'. Maybe this is why Aprilia has wound up the 'sport-styling' knob ...
125cc, 9bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
The Super 8 125 is probably the most polished feeling scooter that Kymco make. It offers the sportiness of the Agility with the comfort of the Like. The ride has a nice feel to it and the finish on the dash, seat and pipes looks the best of the lot. It's well priced too.
298cc, 29bhp, 87mph, Insurance group
Practicality and convenience are where today's large capacity scooters come into their own. Such an example is Kymco's new 300i Downtown – we say example because it is a new arrival in a growing populace of big-bore four-stroke scooters.At £3999, the Kymco's 300cc capacity sits performance-wise between Suzuki's Burgman 200 and 400 machines, and matches Honda's SH300i. What sets the ...

Famous Italian motorcycle brand Garelli is back with a new range of scooters and mopeds. The XO is effectively their flagship model and benefits from sharp looks, stable 16" wheels and decent disc brakes. It's a stylish and perfectly adequate town run-around - the only drawback is a slightly lacklustre engine.
125cc, 8.9bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The BW's 125 is an off-road inspired scoot that goes nicely and looks even nicer - rugged styling marks it out as a small scoot aimed at blokes. At £2,499 it's not the cheapest 125 scooter on the market, but nice detailing and decent performance help to justify the price.
49cc, 2.6bhp, 31mph, Insurance group
The V-Clic 50 is exactly how it looks – a basic, no frills moped that will get you about town if you're 16. It's a bargain, but if you're a teenager it's unlikely to impress any of your mates outside the chip shop and anyone over 17 should opt for a 125.
125cc, 8.7bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
If you can get past the daft name, the Peugeot Tweet 125 is a fantastic little scooter. There's nothing new or revolutionary about it, but it's fun to ride and offers everything you need to beat the traffic on your commute at a bargain price.
250cc, 21bhp, 70mph, Insurance group 7
Yamaha's YP 250R X-Max is a middleweight twist-and-go 'maxi-scooter'. It has all the practicalities of a conventional scooter with a bit more oomph for longer journeys and decent-sized wheels and tyres for cornering confidence.

The GTS 300 Super is Vespa's biggest scooter to date and blends classic Vespa style with bang-up-to-date performance, refinement and sophistication. It's up to more than outings across cities and suburbia: get the extra luggage, load it up and it'll happily take you for a long weekend away touring. At 70mpg-plus it won't cost too much either, though a bigger ...

The Gilera Nexus sits between the Nexus 125 and the Nexus 500 as the mid-capacity sporty scooter in the Gilera range. The design is based around the concept of a sportsbike, but adapted for a CVT step-through scooter. It's certainly sportier than most big scoots – but essentially it's a commuter with a sports image.

half sleeve cherry blossomArtist - Collin Stevens Japanese Cherry Blossom For the Japanese the cherry blossom holds very different meaning. The cherry blossom is a very delicate flower that blooms for a very short time. For the Japanese this represents the transience of life. This concept ties in very deeply with the fundamental teachings of Buddhism that state all life is suffering and transitory. The Japanese have long held strong to the Buddhist belief of the transitory nature of life and it is very noble to not get too attached to a particular outcome or not become emotional because it will all pass in time.

Lille have conceded 6 goals in the last 4 games and they need to solidify things at the back if they are looking to take on a attack minded Everton side. Everton managed a solid 3-0 result against Villa at the weekend after what has been a poor run. Both bring heavy injury lists to this fixture.
This group has been very low scoring so far and neither of this pair have conceded a goal in the competition as yet. With that said, St. Etienne haven't scored one either and they will need to pick up a win soon or they will make qualification impossible. Inter are half the team they once were and need to find some resurgence to their set-up to kick start their season.

We love GIFS. They make us laugh. They make us cringe. We've made some pretty stellar ones after long meetings and late nights — today's inside joke. But while we like making our own GIFS we really appreciate the art of GIFS from all of the other GIF-makers out there.
So we started to look for these artists. A zillion of tweets ago, we came across GIFRIENDS, a group of talented GIF-makers and friends. I (not-so-secretly) wanted to be friends with them. Their name alone said we were destined to be friends.
As you know, I'm a big fan of Collaborative Art so I thought it would be fun to try a collaborative GIF. The idea: each group would provide images to work with and each group would "GIF-a-fy", and send them back.
Here's where we landed:

I recently found myself needing some fresh air (New Yorkers know what I mean), so I headed west to Montana for what I hope will become an annual father-daughter fishing excursion.

Six hours of routine transactions, devoid of personality or humanity. Six hours of—I'll stop myself there because this story has a happy ending. Unlike this guy.

Earlier this month, we visited the New York Auto Show to meet a few clients and gawk at the sea of shiny things, which is always fun for me as a car guy. I've been absent the past few years, and three things struck me about the 2012 show:
Do we have a theme?Nope!Really?Trust me.
This is collaborative art.
How deep a role should a brand play in the lives of consumers? Marketers of all stripes certainly have their opinions, and ultimately the answer falls somewhere between "It depends" and "Probably pretty deep." It's folly to think, however, that brand immersion is a requirement for brand success.
The other day I found myself saying, "This is it. 2012 is going to be the year of mobile." The difference is that for the first time in five years, I actually believe it. This year the most effective and exciting mobile executions will come from unlikely players in the B2B space. If anything supports this claim, it is the growing audience adoption, changing landscape, and valuable new storytelling potential.
A closer look at user behavior and usage statistics for mobile help demonstrate that there is an adult audience with an appetite for information and utility on the go:

Dick Pinney's Guidelines: The most effective method of baiting for stripers
We've watched in wonderment at the extremely haphazard approach that many striper anglers take when trying to fill their bait tanks with the above fish, struggling to land a fish or two now and then while my fishing buddies and I are rapidly filling our bait tank. Friends, catching bait is not a haphazard thing and using your God-given brains will quickly change your approach to bait catching and reward you with more time to game-fish and less time to have to bait-catch.
Although mackerel are pelagic, which means that they are on the go and don't always concentrate on structure as schools of pollock are apt to do, they will hang on certain structure if that is where the small baitfish or other small marine animals in their food chain concentrate. So what we most often do is to watch our fishfinder/depthfinder for likely structure and signs of baitfish, mark the location on our GPS and then do controlled drifts over this structure, making a chum line by dragging a net bag full of frozen, ground up mackerel or whatever other baitfish we may have stored-up in our freezer.
We start to fish for the mackerel (and or pollock) with me usually fishing a cut-down Sabiki Rig. These rigs come with five to six hooked flies that the baitfish will take eagerly, but we've found that that number of flies is too many so we cut the rigs in half and use one half at a time.
You need to attach some weight to the bottom to get the Sabiki Rig down to the fish's level. Instead of using just a lead weight we'll use either a small silver colored Castmaster spoon without hooks (these flutter down and attract baitfish like crazy!) or a weighed mackerel jig.
My most of the time fishing buddy will rig out with a pair of mackerel jigs as for some unknown reason, the macks and pollock will prefer them to the Sabiki Rigs. So by using both techniques we'll find out what the rig for the day is going to be.
We need to get back to the use of chum. If you think that because others in the bait fleet are using chum that you don't need to use it, think again. Chum is like drug to the mackerel and pollock. We've had schools of mackerel so hooked into our chum line that you can just dip them with a small bait net. There's some days when chum works better than others but no day, unless we've planned poorly, that we don't use chum when trying to fill our bait tank.
When your chosen spot might run out of baitfish, then it's time to try to locate that school again. We often do this by slowly trolling, watching our fishfinder but also usually being able to catch a few macks or pollock and then start our drifting with chum, after marking the spot where we intercepted the schools.
Here's one tip. People often refer to the big red marker buoys put out by the U.S. Coast Guard as a place to catch your bait. A good example is the #2KR buoy off of the Piscataqua River. This marks a ledge (Kitts Rocks) that is dangerous to the huge ships coming into the harbor, but it is several yards off the actual ledge. Slowly motor around these areas and unless the ledge is breaking water, such as the Sister's Ledge off Kittery Point, you'll want to fish right around or in the case of the Kitts Rocks, right over the ledge. But beware of ledges that will either show at low tide or kick up dangerous surf. Do not fish over them or even around them when the surf is up.
A word about pollock. They are apt to gather where discharges from shoreside restaurants is done with the kitchen waste. Also they are very territorial and if you find them on a certain ledge at a certain time of the tide, chances are they'll be there the next time you're out fishing at the same time of tide, not necessarily the same time of day. Also know that time of day can be important, as the sun rises the schools of baitfish are apt to sink into deeper water. Also if the schools of baitfish are being chased by bluefish, they will not bite. Some use multiple treble hooks cast into the schools to snag them.
Make your catching of baitfish your purpose in life and your catch of gamefish will improve, dramatically.

I enjoy doing a variety of things in a day/night. Love to have an early dinner, see a show,concert, movie and then have dessert and or drinks in a different restaurant. Traipsing around DC, running into a museum for an hour, stopping for a drink at 2 in the afternoon then walking on to something else. Love rock n roll, jazz - soft, blues, country, R & B.
LAUGHTER is critical to my relationships.
I believe I can still have the heart beating hard, breathless feeling when being with someone!
About the one I'm looking for...
A young spirit like mine, Easy going, sense of humor, foodie from little holes in the wall to classy but interesting restaurants. Must like cats and in general see the value of animals.
I know it's crazy : ) but I want what everyone else wants - someone interested in what I have to say and my opinions, a man who enjoys quiet time but also likes to share his interests as well as mine and a little PDA!
I'd just like to add...
Chemistry, sexual appeal and sense of humor are all illusive.
So it's just about putting yourself out there,and being hopeful the right mix will come along. In the meantime one gets to meet very nice people even if it's just friendship, try new things and explore life.

I'm not sure having the hunt at Arlington would be tasteless enough. How about the Vietnam Memorial, or on the grounds of Walter Reed?
a) Follow @posthunt on Twitter -- we'll be doing some fun stuff on Sunday. And if you're tweeting about the Hunt, use #posthunt
b) Win Post Hunt swag (aka snazzy T-shirts) by uploading a photo of your team or proposing your own Hunt puzzle
c) Come back to washingtonpost.com/posthunt on Monday morning for videos, more chatting and other post-Post Hunt commisterating
I'm not sure having the hunt at Arlington would be tasteless enough. How about the Vietnam Memorial, or on the grounds of Walter Reed?
I bet people would be dying to Hunt there!
In his previous answer, Tom means Arlington. Because even he would not be tasteless enough to make that joke about Walter Reed.
I think we should hold it at CIA headquarters and not tell anybody until it's over.
You will be able to see a video explanation of all the puzzles online after the Hunt. Perhaps Amanda can tell you when that will go up. The fearless video team usually pulls an allnighter.
-- From Weingarten: Tom's failure to hyphenate all-nighter reminds me of the joy I got last year in correcting his misspellings. I hope we will have a repeat of that. But, Tom: DON'T WORRY AND FREEZE UP.
If you don't attend, you actually stand a better chance of winning.
Did you all know that Gene can't read maps? He makes my wife look like Magellan.
In fact, if we wind up doing it, it will be because of this post. You will have Changed The World.
I hereby declare that your team came in 57th. Spread the word!
Dave once wrote a column about the time we toured South Beach in a giant, mechanized weiner. It was a huge chick magnet. HUGE.
Tom is so aroused by the memory that he forgot how to spell "wiener."
This is gonna be so great. Not the Hunt: our ganging up on Tom.
There will indeed. Next week, Dave and I start planning. It will be in November.
Please note that I don't usually help with the Herald Hunt because, 17 years ago, someone from The Herald was mean to me. Yes, I am that petty.
There will be, and it will be great, because Weingarten is not involved.
Why do you think we told you to bring a cell phone?
Weinergate, by the way, anagrams to "Weingartee."
That's why we're booked on the 3:15 to Brazil.
Just in case, we've reordered a large supply of the seafood menus from last year.
Perhaps we could just soak you in gasoline.
I believe first prize is a handsome photograph that either is or is not of Rep. Anothony Weiner.
How great is it that Rep. Weiner isn't sure if that is a picture of his bulge?
Hey, I have a walrus penis too! And it is WAY huger than Dave's or Gene's.
I cannot say with certitude where that penis came from.
That's what SHE said.
We start years in advance. Years. We do not just pull this thing out of our butts in the final few weeks. That is a TOTALLY FALSE ALLEGATION, and I insist that you TAKE IT BACK.
You know, it's probably not fair to the real artist to joke about who drew the map this year. All kidding aside, we DO have a new artist. It is Edouard Manet.
You already have one, dude.
The Grid was Tom's inspiration. If it doesn't work, it was Tom's fault. If it does work, it really was pretty much a team effort.
I cannot say with certitude whether I did or did not have anything to do with the Grid.
Actually, we just like saying the word "grid." Say it 50 times fast and you'll see what I mean.
Carolyn's chat goes on for a few hours so ... stay here for now, go there later? :)
We can help you with your relationship! Get out of it RIGHT NOW.
In fact, The Hunt is a great opportunity for couples to break up. What happens is, you argue over puzzles and then have revenge sex with a stranger who is breaking up with his or her girl or boyfriend.
It's the former. The Times doesn't do weiners.
And when they try, they do it badly. Remember that bizarre piece on the alleged affair John McCain might or might not have had with a lobbyist who he might or might not have helped?
The Miami Herald has a story suggesting this might be the work of Fidel Castro.
You can do em in any order. And if you can't solve one, just circle on back. Sometimes we have seen teams trading solutions, which strikes us as Communist.
We catch anyone trading solutions this year, they get sent to reeducation camp.
You don't have to circle back. You can walk in a straight line.
If you actually deliver during the Hunt, AT the Hunt, eschewing ambulances and trusting Molly the veterinarian to deliver you, we will make you forever famous.
It's okay, Molly will be there and she delivered four great Dane pups just yesterday.
And yes. Many restaurants and hotels with bathrooms. There will also be porta-potties, but you don't need to go there, mama.
What Gene is not telling you -- and what makes Molly's feat all the more impressive -- is that she delivered the four great Dane pups from a RABBIT.
I cannot say with certitude whether you're supposed to refrigerate Marmite or Vegemite, so I'm going to play it safe and answer "maybe."
Not sure, but dynamite is definitely a bad idea.
You have "spotters"? You have "men on the ground"? Do you have infra-red goggles? Copters?
Yes, two hours should be enough time to finish the first part of The Hunt. Insanely prepared teams have done it in an hour.
At the moment I am typing this, my daughter informed me that Jack Kevorkian died. In his honor I would like to now publish the greatest non-published entry in Style Invitational history. Couldn't get it past the censors. The challenge had been to write a limerick using the name "Kevorkian." Here it is:
A comely young lass from Nantucket
Needed help in kicking the bucket.
"No problem, my child,"
Doc Kevorkian smiled,
"Wrap your lips 'round my tailpipe and suck it."
Gene forgot to mention that this limerick is NOT a clue.
If it weren't for Nantucket, I doubt that limericks would ever have been invented.
It'll be online (as a PDF) on the Post Hunt page at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
We've already published the opening instructions. Amanda, can you link to that?
In fact, we already have a winner.
Andy, my people have a saying: "Why is this night different than any other night?" I think in this case, the answer is: It isn't. Just saying.
Of course, Andy! Everybody has a chance! Until it actually starts.
When Tom says "my people," he means dyslexics.
After waiting a year for the next Hunt, I now find that I cannot make it this weekend. I am severely depressed. Do you think you guys could postpone it a week or two? Thanks!
Yes, just show up at Freedom Plaza NEXT week.
Actually, I hired Wolfgang Puck to marinate Dave for one of the clues.
Thanks a lot. Eric The Company Lawyer is probably now going to have to have you all sign a waiver.
From a recent column of mine:
"Newspaper lawyers are, and have always been, very cautious.
Newspaper lawyer: Your story on Watergate seems to be implying President Nixon is a crook. Can you prove that?
Bob Woodward: Yes.
Newspaper lawyer: Well, has he ever robbed a convenience store and pistol-whipped the clerk?
Bob Woodward: Not to my knowledge.
Newspaper lawyer: Well, let's put that in, just to be safe.
Ooh, I can disclose a key fact about the Hunt: A top Washington Post lawyer is going to be participating in one of the Big Puzzles.
Talk about excitement.
As Rep. Weiner can tell you, hard is better than soft in all things. Except pretzels. And mustard, definitely.
Dave is going to say, right about now, that you do not have to refrigerate either mustard or ketchup.
This seems like a good time to point out that you don't need to refrigerate either mustard or ketchup. You DO need to refrigerate mayonniase, but anybody who puts mayonnaise on a pretzel deserves to die.
They are now the major national monuments in Tazikistan.
Rachel WILL be onstage again. If she chooses to signal "touchdown" again, there's no stopping her. Believe me, we tried last year.
I like a nice boxed vodka myself.
A lot of people get good results with heroin.
"To serve and protect" is the Hunt designer's motto.
We are sort of like Congress, except that we have (Note to editors: This is NOT a penis joke) larger staffs.
We have been notified by editors that we have too many penis jokes in this chat. So, we're going to limit future penis references to two, at most. We'll show a higher standard.
Don't you read fast enough to click back & forth? I used to juggle Hax, Kelly, & Milbank every Friday noon. Until my boss noticed.
Did you get a raise?
Is this Joe Biden?
Given the fact that we have apparently angered editors about that other thing, we are NOT going to participate in any snide referencing of the Post's new web redesign, which we all love.
Gene has a "condition."
I would like to point out that in private conversations, Tom has described my map dysfunction as being a female trait. I disavow this idea entirely, but want to make it clear that I consider it a compliment to be compared to women. When I do something courageous, I feel I have "ovaried up."
I'm amazed that thing can get off the ground.
I probably am not supposed to disclose this, but Seal Team 6 is going to be competing this year.
Wait... the world didn't end May 21?
Check this out -- should explain the basics.
I rely on my horse, Silver.
Tom: Huh?
Response from Tom: Clearly you don't own a horse that can count by tapping his hoof. I pity you.
I am not sure what either of you is talking about. There seems to be a joke lurking in there somewhere. But it died and is stinking up the joint.
Here's the thing. For many years, Gene was an editor, and he edited the living poop out of people. Then he became a writer, and all of a sudden he was all HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY PRECIOUS WORDS!?? So in conclusion -- and I cannot stress this enough -- neither mustard nor ketchup will spoil whenn kept at room temperature.
We don't want to give anything away, but it's location COULD be the solution to the Hunt.
I have been secretly entering the Invitational for several weeks, under pseydonyms. I am spending more time coming up with pseudonyms to fool Pat than I am on the entries.
To be fair, there are two of us. And Gene.
But there are FOUR of Carolyn. Or is that supposed to be a secret?
No. But a sense of humor is a must.
Important tip: Try to make sure each team has at least one Jew.
Did you ever get that Date Lab tie-in for the Hunt that you talked about in a chat a while back? Will the couple have to wear name tags? And are the rest of us allowed to mock them mercilessly?
We've done Post Hunt Date Labs in the past, but decided not to this year. It is a loooooong day for a first, completely blind date.
I'm old enough to remember the French and Indian War.
Which reminds me: We need a different name for the French and Indian War. When you hear "French and Indian War," you naturally assume the French and the Indiands fought against each other. When in fact they were on the same side. Somebody needs to hold hearings on this.
This is not a challenge to the Chinese, but if they hacked my gmail account, Human Resources would escort me to the door within minutes. Then I would be summarily executed.
I am pretty sure the Chinese hacked my toaster.
That would be wrong. The proper form is to make a sizeable deposit in our Swiss bank accounts.
I probably shouldn't say this, but Tom really likes it when people moon him. He's just shy to say it.
Our answers contain plenty of substance. I just can't say what that substance is. In a family news web site.
Did I mention that Gene can't read a map?
The Hunt has created rain each of the first four years. Just saying.
The Hunt has also appearently ruined the US economy.
The Grid is exactly like The Rack, only it does not have the same sort of sexual innuendo.
Is this Joe Biden?
Or The Last Really Exciting Thing That Happened in Canada.
I agree. That would be good.
I am pretty sure you need to refrigerate hollandaise sauce.
It's done entirely with private money, except that the Pentagon is letting us use a nuclear submarine, but that is all we can say about that at this time.
Only if they are being worn by your live-in nanny.
Not your shoes. Your pants.
EDITORS: Notice how we are refraining from making any penis jokes involving the words "long form."
Those packages have been HACKED. Or it might be a prank. Either way, it is a distraction, and I am not going to let it distract me from doing what I am being paid to do, whatever that may be.
This is where the heroin comes in.

Winton Woods City Schools is searching for a new district treasurer
Treasurer Tom Golinar has resigned. Golinar has been with the district for six years and has won several awards for his work, including the Making Your Tax Dollar Count award for the 2008 and 2009 district audits.
Winton Woods Board of Education President John Pennycuff said the board will accept applications for the position until Feb. 25.
"We would hope … to make the decision in March," he said.
Pennycuff said information on the job requirements and qualifications are available on the district website and potential applicants are welcome to call the district office to discuss the treasurer position.
Pennycuff said Golinar will be missed at the district office, where his understanding of school law and work with the district budget will be missed.
"He has been an outstanding treasurer," he said.
Superintendent Camille Nasbe had high praise for Golinar.
"He's the best treasurer I've ever worked with," she said. "He's just a great guy."

If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, then you may want to disable

All Videos > TaylorMade Burner High Launch Fairway & Rescue - Features
A quick look at both the Burner High Launch Fairway & Rescue woods. Released midway through the season, The 2008 Burner's have been a great addition to the TaylorMade line.
The high launch fairway woods have a similar look and set-up to the Tour Burner drivers released earlier in the season, incorporating the same triangular shape and dual crown design that has made the driver one of the best on tour this year. The thin-wall dual crown design lowers the center of gravity, allowing for quick, high launch shots of the fairway. Slightly deeper in the face compared to the 07 Burner fairway woods, the high launch woods also tend to keep the ball flight at a steady medium-to-high trajectory. The Burner is one of the quietest fairway woods you will hit. The Burner Rescue high launch hybrids retain the same basic look and set-up as the Tour Burner driver and Burner fairway woods, but are distinctly unique due to the enhanced triangular look. Almost looking more like a fairway wood than a hybrid, the Burner Rescue has a lower profile and a slight draw bias compared to the Burner fairway woods, but still retain the signature look of the Burner series with its dual crown design. So far the Burner Rescue hybrids have been met with mixed reviews, some not liking their triangular shaped head while others feel the clubhead is a bit too heavy. But in the end most will agree that when they finally put the test on the golf course, it outshined all of its competitors.
Even though it seems like TaylorMade introduces a new club every couple of weeks or so, the new Burner offerings are a sign that TaylorMade might just know what they're doing.

Akira Kurosawa taught me practically everything I know, and it was he who first introduced me to myself as an actor. He has this quality, this ability to bring things out of you that you never knew were there. It is enormously difficult work, but each picture with him is a revelation. When you see his films, you find them full realizations of ideas, of emotions, of a philosophy which surprises with its strength, even shocks with its power. You had not expected to be so moved, to find within your own self this depth of understanding.
— Toshirō Mifune
Drunken Angel // dir. Akira Kurosawa
In this picture I finally discovered myself. It was my picture: I was doing it and no one else. Part of this was thanks to Mifune. Shimura played the doctor beautifully, but I found that I could not control Mifune. When I saw this, I let him do as he wanted, let him play the part freely. I did not want to smother that vitality. In the end, although the title refers to the doctor, it is Mifune that everyone remembers.
His reactions are extraordinarily swift. If I say one thing, he understands ten. He reacts very quickly to the director's intentions. Most Japanese actors are the opposite of this and so I wanted Mifune to cultivate this gift.
One of the reasons for the extreme popularity of this film at the time was that there was no competition – no other films showed an equal interest in people. We had difficulty with one of the characters: that of the doctor himself. Uekusa Jin and I rewrote his part over and over again. Still, he wasn't interesting. We had almost given up when it occurred to me that he was just too good to be true – he needed a defect, a vice. This is why we made him an alcoholic. At that time most film characters were shining white or blackest black. We made the doctor grey.

|October 12
In 1978, on this day impresario Malcolm McLaren announced the reformation of the Sex Pistols with the dynamic twenty-three year old punk rocker Eddie Tudor-pole as the lead singer.
The Great Rock 'n' Roll SwindleFounded in London in 1975, the band had demonstrated huge potential despite their limited output; over the next two and half years, they produced only four singles and one studio album called Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols.
Then in February, Johnny Rotten (real name John Lydon) quit and the remainder of the band focused on the somewhat incoherent mockumentary The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle. Guitarist Steve Jones plays a detective who - through a series of set piece acts - uncovers the truth about the band. Drummer Paul Cook and bass guitarist Sid Vicious play smaller roles, and the band's manager, Malcolm McLaren, is featured as "The Embezzler", the man who manipulates the Sex Pistols. Fugitive train robber Ronnie Biggs, performer Eddie Tudor-Pole, and actress Irene Handl also make appearances. Directed by Julien Temple and produced by Don Boyd and Jeremy Thomas, the movie suggests that Sex Pistols in particular and punk rock in general were an elaborate scam perpetrated by McLaren in order to make "a million pounds".
In the absence of Rotten, Tudor-pole sung "Who Killed Bambi?", "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle" and a cover version of "Rock Around The Clock" in the film and on the soundtrack. Released in May 1980, the movie was a massive hit, with the Daily Express wrote "Maybe John Lydon & Co. need a reminder of how their song's should really sound?".

XFORMS to XHTML
Hi All, I'm looking for an XSL stylesheet to convert XFORMS to XHTML, just the controls, none of the event, validating stuff, and found a couple of previous threads in the archive. One in December of last year and another middle of last month. The earlier thread mentioned a basic XSLT produced by the author of a book who was unsure as to whether the publishers would allow this file to be issued and I couldn't find any answer to the latter thread. I only just joined the list and so apologies if it is simply my own incompetants in using the archive preventing me from finding any follow ups with reference to a file but could somebody please let me know where to find an XFORMS to XHTML/HTML XSLT if one exists publically? Thanks in advance.
