main index
On their Wagon Train to the Stars, our intrepid heroes come across a planet with a single defining characteristic. Everybody is a robot, or a gangster, or a Proud Warrior Race Guy, or an over-the-top actor, or wearing a Nice Hat. To some degree, this is unavoidable; you only have so much screen time or page space to develop and explore a culture. This is especially true in episodic series where the heroes travel to a new planet each week and you have to both introduce a planet and tell a story all within a single episode. Earth itself is sometimes portrayed as a Planet Of Hats. The defining human characteristic is often "pluck", "sheer cussedness", creativity, and sometimes even "diversity", though "bastardry" and "stupidity" are common in more misanthropic works. Sometimes it's stated that Hattery is the natural state and it's humans that are the aberrant ones, or rather that humanity's Hat is not having one. Writers love to use the hat planet to represent controversial issues in society whenever they can. This way the show's characters can take a thinly disguised public stand on an issue that the network execs would otherwise consider too taboo to openly discuss. We can't have our heroes discussing euthanasia, but should they stumble across a Planet Of Hats where everyone who gets sick is put to death, then it's okay. Eventually the plots will run out with an entire race of identical people so one or more of the species will have their hat fall off, declaring My Species Doth Protest Too Much. Alternately, the show may explore why Klingon Scientists Get No Respect. For maximum typing, the characters can also be physically uniform, as in People of Hair Color. The Planet Of Hats may also be an unintended result of a Character Exaggeration type Plot Tumor applied to an entire race, when the audience had previously only seen a single representative who the writers now wish to market. For cases where a planetary hat is extrapolated retroactively from a single character, see Planet of Copyhats. Just for comparison, Earth has seven continents, hosting just under two hundred states, with an estimated five thousand ethnicities, with even more thousands of different languages and their varied dialects. There is no reason to suspect that alien life forms would be any different, but in media they are nowhere near as diverse as one might expect. Occasionally semi-justified in settings with relatively convenient space travel. Many nations agree to use a single language (usually English) when they must operate in a multinational group. It is also reasonable to expect planetary colonists to be culturally and linguistically uniform. Compare: Gang of Hats. Contrast: Multicultural Alien Planet. See also Rubber-Forehead Aliens, Intelligent Gerbil, Scary Dogmatic Aliens. May result because Apathy Killed the Cat. If the planet's hat is being evil, it's an example of Always Chaotic Evil. Serious Business is what happens when the show's setting gets a hat. This trope in itself is a good example of Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale. See Single-Biome Planet when the planet is unnaturally uniform physically. One-Product Planet is a subtrope, but focuses on economics rather than culture. Has nothing to do with a certain war-themed hat simulator, Or the show Lidsville which was a literal planet of hats.For the webcomic of the same name, see here.

About Us:
Thank you for visiting the Grateful J's website.
Our first location was opened in 1994 in Margate, Florida as a smoke shop and body piercing studio. We sold all the old school smoking accessories that were around when I was growing up in Long Island. Graffix, Dugout, metal lamp part pipes... Does anybody remember the Apogee?
In early 1995 I saw my first Pyrex pipe and was immediately addicted. I knew it would be the beginning of something big, so I did whatever I could to get my hands on as much glass as I could.
Pipe makers and reps from all over the country would come to the store knowing I would buy all they had. I carried names like Snograss, Batram, Brian Bates and Strobel. I had no idea who these people were but I wanted their stuff. I didn't even know their first names except for Brian (he was a local kid with some talent). Then there were the guys with the companies. A hippy kid with dreads named Dave came by with some pieces and said he was starting up a company and wanted to know if I would buy some from him. He had some family that owned a store a couple towns away called Lazy Daze, so I gave him the name Lazy Dave, I was his first sale, and Dark Star Glass was on the map.
One day Brian was in the store and I asked what he would charge to teach me. He gave me a price by the hour and told me to show up at his house the next day. I told him I would have to come early as I had to open the store by 10 am. I showed up at 7 o'clock and he answered the door in his underwear told me to go to the garage. He sat down and cut a four foot rod into a bunch of pieces and put them together and said "do what I just did. I'm going back to bed, close the garage door when you're done". He handed me five rods and I was on my own. Everyday was the same thing with a new lesson until I got my own torch. I was on my way to being a store owner and pipe maker.
Boro tubes
A friend of mine hooked me up with a company called JAH Creations, back then we were lucky to get six tubes at a time. Then came Jerome Baker Designs a company that could send as much product as you could order. Grateful J's was now the store that everyone talked about, "if you want glass in South Florida...Grateful J's". We prided ourselves on what we had available.
Fast forward to the year 2000, it was time to expand. "Let's build a store with a studio so people can watch glass get made", and the Boca Store was born. Blowers wanted to work there, young people wanted lessons, artists wanted to stop in and play. Shaggy Boley rented space. AJ Roberts came by to sell some glass and spent many days hanging out and teaching us techniques. Jeff Kasner and James Lang were were apprentices of mine that I now buy from and consider excellent artists.
In 2004 some circumstances in the industry forced us to remove the studio from the store and I went back to working in my off site studio and Grateful J's needed to rebuild. We brought tattooing to the Margate store and adult toys and video replaced the in house studio. Management helped to rebuild the stores while most of my time was spent in the studio. As we grew again so did the industry. Scientific glass and artwork became the rage and once again we couldn't get enough. Names like 5150, Everest, Zong, Bluedot and Hitman helped to rebuild our brand. We searched for artwork by Salt, Ghost, Banjo and who ever else we could get. Doug from Hitman hooked us up with some major pieces and Grateful J's was back in the game. Once again it was time to grow and we opened the Lake Worth store in May of 2010. Now it was all about the art. To many names to mention but we carry who I consider to be the best in the country. The work of these artist can be seen in our gallery pages. In may of 2012 we opened Pompano.
Jay Work
I established Grateful J's with the purpose of giving people a place to shop where they feel comfortable. My attitude is "It's not what you smoke, It's how you smoke it". A pipe is just a pipe, an inanimate object that controls the flow of smoke to your mouth. Besides being the owner of the four Grateful J's stores, I am a glass artist. I create objects for smoking, a pipe maker, free to express myself by putting a straight piece of glass in a fire and changing its form. I love what I do and do what I love. The smoke shop industry is very important to me. It is part of a culture, a culture that believes in freedom and the american dream. Be it controversial or not. I will and have stood up for this industry by starting the Florida Smoke Shop Association. ( http://floridasmokeshops.org )
You won't usually find me in the stores but I am not elusive. Feel free to contact me through any of the stores. Or email@example.com
Michelle Clapper
General Manager of all Grateful J's locations. She is the best in the business. Feel free to contact her through any of the stores or email@example.com She will get back to you.
Tara Hanin
Manager Grateful J's MargateTara has been with Grateful J's for many years and is amazing at her job. Tara is the person to contact for anything E-liquid. From Grateful J's E Stuff inc. Tara can be reached at the Margate store or firstname.lastname@example.com

It takes a lot of balls for an unproven IP to take cheap shots at its established competitors, but EA has high expectations for Bulletstorm, and apparently enough marketing wherewithal to create a playable Call of Duty spoof game entitled, Duty Calls: The Call Before the Storm.
Free for the PC, Duty Calls is a five-minute, 800MB experience which skewers as many Call of Duty clichés as it can on its short, hilarious run. You can play it for yourself here, or watch the full runthrough:
In Call of Duty's defense, I know a great many Sergeant Sergeant Master Segeant Shooter Persons who had their lives saved by 500 sheets of wide ruled notebook paper.
According to EA, Duty Calls also features:
1. Duty Vision slows down the action so you can unload a storm of bullets
2. Immersive dialogue from the front lines
3. Cold, calculated realism
4. Killing animations motion captured from real actors
5. True-life reloading system allows for mistakes in putting the cartridge in the gun
6. Iconic sound effects
7. Thwart an enemy threat that could topple the country and possibly the world
8. Significant and historically accurate props
With this and it's most recent video mocking the Halo 3'd diorama ads, it's clear that Bulletstorm's marketing team is confident in its product. That or they're a little foggy about how karma works. Epic Games and People Can Fly better walk the walk or it'll soon be Bungie and Treyarch's turn to mock them.

Hedge Funds
Area Man Chooses Homelessness Over Being A Former Hedge Fund ManagerBy Jon Shazar
John Taylor nurtured FX Concepts, the currency hedge fund he founded in 1981, into a strapping $14.2 billion powerhouse in 2007. Over the past six years, he's done whatever the opposite of nurturing is, watching New York-based FX shrivel into a money-losing boutique which institutional investors line up to flee from.
But he's not giving up, even if his last big investor is about to pull $450 million of his last $650 million—even if it means sleeping on the couch in his office until he's forced to sell that, too.
In 2010,Taylor bought a nine-room, three-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side for $22 million—$4.5 million above its asking price—using a loan from FX Concepts.
Taylor has the property on the market for $25 million. It's "truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a magnificent residence in one of Manhattan's finest prewar co-ops," a Sotheby's listing says.
Savage confirmed the aim of the sale is to benefit the firm. "The story of John agreeing to sell his home to help recapitalize the firm is accurate and, yes, FXC like many other funds [has] some debt agreements in place."

Chasin' love, all the bittersweet hours lost
from Kanye West (Ft. Assassin & Justin Vernon) – I'm In It Lyrics on Genius
If you spend all your time chasing skirt, you can't always be successful. Looking back Kanye remembers the time spent getting it in, but also remembers the time spent just to lead to denial.
Maybe his denial sounds a lot like the threesome question from an earlier song of his.

Recently by Gary North: The Myth of Debt-Free Living
Dear Miss V:
Your home school education has worked well. At age 16, you have beaten the system. You jumped through all of the mandatory academic hoops without ever having walked into a tax-funded school classroom. You have not received a standard textbook education. You are ahead of your chronological peers.
You will soon be off to college. I understand that you have done well on several CLEP exams, so you will be entering with some college credit. You have also won a full-tuition scholarship in piano performance, so your parents will not have to fund the bulk of the costs. This is good. But it is not entirely good. There are no free lunches in life.
The scholarship is a major temptation: a private education funded by your own talent and hard work. But college will cost you more than money. It will cost you time: at least four years.
Usually, a 16-year-old's time is cheap. High-paying jobs are not plentiful these days even for college graduates. This means that the opportunity cost of going to college is usually quite low. Such is not the case with you.
You are a gifted pianist. You have a strong work ethic. But you are an even more gifted painter. There are a lot of very fine classical piano performers out there. There are not many gifted painters.
What if you devoted the next four years, including summers, to improving your skills with the paint brush? At 8 hours a day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year, the total is 8,000 hours. In Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers, we learn that 10,000 hours of intense work usually are required to become a virtuoso. This investment of time does not guarantee such status, but it is necessary, though not sufficient.
If you devoted this amount of time, plus three hours a day plus Saturdays to more CLEP exams and upper division distance learning, you will be able to earn a B.A. degree in four years, including summers. You can do this for about $15,000. That is a rigorous schedule, but it can be done. It is what virtuosos do. If you can find a mentor who paints well, that would be ideal. You can finish college with distance learning in four years, even when serving as an apprentice.
Of course, you could not practice your piano, which you are devoted to. So, what about six hours painting and two hours with piano? That would cut your painting time to 6,000 hours. That still puts you ahead of your peers.

Misstatement games
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Sep 09, 2007
(Comment here ... write to us here)
According to the "pundits," a number of "statements" were made around the NFL this week. The Colts made a statement. Randy Moss made a statement. The Steelers made a statement ... blah, blah, blah.
The storylines are so unimaginative that we read the list of ingredients on a box of salt this morning to satisfy our thirst for creative commentary.
The truth is that, when it comes to "statement" games, the "pundits" give you only half the story. The laws of phootball physics dictate that for every statement there is an equal and opposite misstatement.
Tom Brady, for example, makes a bold fashion statement every time he steps out on the town with his lingerie model girlfriend by his side. But there would be no natural harmonic balance in the universe if not for you, the average ColdHardFootballFacts.com reader, who makes a bold fashion misstatement every time you leave your mother's basement in your mustard-stained wife beater.
So, without further adont, the gridiron Galileo called the Cold, Hard Football Facts unlocks for you the natural order of the infinite cosmos with our look at NFL Week 1 statements and their equally necessary misstatements.
Carolina 27, St. Louis 13
Statement: After poor preseason, Carolina QB Jake Delhomme completes 18 of 27 passes for 201 yard, 7.4 YPA, 3 TD, 0 INT and 125.7 passer rating.
Misstatement: After off-season saying he wants to become first player to rack up 2,500 all-purpose yards, St. Louis RB Steven Jackson falls on his face with 58 yards on 18 carries (3.2 YPA), 1 catch for 3 yards, 0 TD and 2 lost fumbles.
Dallas 45, N.Y. Giants 35
Statement: Cowboys QB Tony Romo puts muffled playoff hold behind him by passing for 345 yards and four TDs, while running for another score.
Misstatement: Romo dumps spectacular country hottie Carrie Underwood to focus on football.
Denver 15, Buffalo 14
Statement: Denver kicker Jason Elam races onto the field to nail 42-yard game winner in the final seconds.
Misstatement: Elam blew kicks of 43 and 50 yards earlier in the game.
Detroit 36, Oakland 21
Statement: The oft-criticized Lions offense has exploded for 75 points in its last two games, the greatest two-game output of the Matt Millen Era.
Misstatement: Detroit defense blew 17-point lead, falling behind 21-20 in fourth-quarter, to a team that scored just 10.5 PPG in 2006.
Green Bay 16, Philly 13
Statement: Geriatric Brett Favre says "I'm not washed up" by winning his 148th NFL game, tying John Elway's record for victories by a starting quarterback.
Misstatement: Favre again plays poorly (23 of 42, 206 yards, 4.9 YPA, 0 TD, 1 INT, 58.2 rating) ... but is saved by AARP victory discount and Philly returners Greg Lewis and J.R. Reed who each fumble punts. The second in the final minute sets up Green Bay's game-winning field goal.
Houston 20, Kansas City 3
Statement: Reggie Bush who? Former No. 1 overall pick Mario Williams records two sacks and one fumble recovery, Texans fans remember what it feels like to cheer.
Misstatement: Kansas City's new special teamers are special in a short-bus kind of way; KR Eddie Drummond loses a fumble, rookie K Justin Medlock caps 15-play, 76-yard drive with blown 30-yard field goal.
Indy 41, New Orleans 10
Statement: Super Bowl champ Colts shred NFC title contender New Orleans by 31 points.
Misstatement: NO star Reggie Bush picks up 38 yards on 12 carries (3.2 YPA). His career rushing totals now stand at 603 yards on 167 attempts (3.6 YPA).
Minnesota 24, Atlanta 3
Statement: Vikings rookie Adrian Peterson ran for 103 yards, caught a 60-yard touchdown.
Misstatement: Atlanta's historic running game of 2006 goes to the dogs without former greyhound Michael Vick leading the charge here in 2007: 96 yards on 28 carries (3.4 YPA).
New England 38, N.Y. Jets 14
Statement: Far-out wideout Randy Moss hauls in 9 catches for 183 yards and 1 TD – the third-most receiving yards in New England franchise history.
Misstatement: Jets fans cheer as gritty Chad Pennington fights to get off the field after suffering a nasty-looking ankle injury.
Pittsburgh 34, Cleveland 7
Statement: Steelers running game shows new boss Mike Tomlin that it's still the bread and butter with 206 yards on 42 carries (4.9 YPA). Super-efficient Big Ben completes just 12 passes ... but 4 go for TDs.
Misstatement: Cleveland QB Charlie Frye starts 4-for-10 for 34 yards and 1 pick, gets benched for legendary Derek Anderson.
San Diego 14, Chicago 3
Statement: Chargers hold league's No. 2 scoring team of 2006 (26.7 PPG) to a single field goal.
Misstatement: Brian Griese and his 84.5 career passer rating sits on the bench while Chicago offense remains entrusted to Rex Grossman and his 71.8 career passer rating.
Seattle 20, Tampa Bay 6
Statement: Seahawks linebackers Lofa Tatupu, Leroy Hill and Julian Peterson combine for 20 tackles, 3 forced fumbles and 2 sacks.
Misstatement: Cold-seated TB coach Jon Gruden and free-agent prize QB Jeff Garcia can't get in the end zone against a Seattle defense that was 19th in scoring last year.
Tennessee 13, Jacksonville 10
Statement: Jaguars stifle 2006 Rookie of the Year Vince Young, holding him to 100 yards of total offense (78 passing, 22 rushing).
Misstatement: Jags forget about the rest of the Titans offense, allowing 282 rushing yards on 49 carries (5.8 YPA).
Washington 16, Miami 13
Statement: Washington wideout Antwaan Randle El sets career high with 162 receiving yards.
Misstatement: New coach. New QB. Same old story for Fins: Stout defense let down by stumbling offense.

Leading the Way
Texas' climb to the top of America's economic mountain hasn't always been easy, but the rewards—particularly in terms of job growth—make it worth it.
However, as word on the Texas method continues to spread, more and more state governments are beginning to follow our lead, and we hope more do. Strong states competing against one another make us all work harder and make for a stronger and more prosperous America.
We welcome the challenge posed by state leaders like Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who told a group in Daytona Beach this week that he has his targets firmly fixed on a certain Lone Star State, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal:
"We're doing the right thing in Florida," Scott said, citing a national magazine that ranked Florida as the second-best state in which to do business. With a combination of low taxes and high quality of life, Scott said he hopes to catch Texas and Gov. Rick Perry by next year.
"Every day I think about how we're going to beat Gov. Perry. I call him every couple of weeks to tell him we're going to do it," he said.
Gov. Scott is just the latest to realize the power of the Texas combination of low taxes, predictable regulations, fair courts and world-class workforce that has made Texas the first place companies look to expand or relocate. Even the New York Times is conceding that "Texas is the Future."
However, even as states like Florida begin to emulate our approach, we need to do even more to ensure employers continue bringing their jobs to Texas. That's why we've emphasized the principles behind the Texas Budget Compact - truth in budgeting, a stricter constitutional limit on spending growth, opposition to any tax increases, an adequate Rainy Day Fund and a commitment to cutting unnecessary and redundant government programs and agencies.
That'll be key to fending off challengers like Florida, and keeping Texas the best place in the nation to live, work, grow your business and raise a family.

Avidyne kicked off the day's news conferences at AirVenture Monday morning, and while no new products were announced, representatives provided an update on the status of their business and products. While the economic climate in GA is not growing, avidyne says it has seen increased sales of more than 10% in the international sector. Their fleet sale has been a highlight as well. The dealer network has improved in their support of customers through the Avidyne customer support initiative.
Dan Schwinn,President & CEO, said the outlook for their future is excellent. Customer feedback on the DFC line of autopilots has rated them "Best in Class". Avidyne hopes to have the Aspen Avionics STC completed soon. Avidyne provided an update on the products announced last year at AirVenture and the IFD440 announced earlier in the year. Schwinn indicated that customer view the plug and play nature of the Avidyne products to replace other vendor products like Garmin and STEC as being their most popular feature. Next was the Hybrid touch feature which allows the user to either interact with the product by touching the screen or using Knobs. The fact that no wiring changes has to be done has also been highly rated and a factor in user decisions to upgrade.
The IFD 440 will run the same FMS software as their R9 glass panels and IFD540 and will provide most of the basic features. Mr. Schwinn discussed how the two IFD 440s or one 540 and one 440 will allow the user to have different screens of the FMS software up. It will not be just a cross fill capability like other vendor products provide. An example given was to have the map up on the top box and the keyboard up on the bottom box. All changes made are then applied to both instances of FMS running on both boxes. This will give the user much more screen real estate to work with.
Pricing and availability updates were provided. The IFD540 will list for $16995 is targeted for early 2013. The IFD440 will be $14995 and available late 2013. A 16 watt option will list for $4995. The other products in the line will be available with the IFD540. DFC90 certification in Cessna and Beach products is progressing. First will be the Cessna 182, with the others to follow.
Schwinn indicated that bundle packaging pricing would be announced as the products get closer to release. A question was asked if Avidyne would provide a two way IPAD to IFD interface. The answer was Yes, but no details were given. Another question was about interfacing of the IFD line with Garmin 430s. Schwinn indicated that because of format incompatibilities it would not be possible to have one of each in the panel interoperate.
The Avidyne R9 Synthetic Vision software update is progressing. Flight testing is about complete. Mr. Schwinn hopes to have it certified prior to the IFD540, but it will have to be finished for the IFD540 as it requires that software code. Mr. Schwinn indicated that he thinks their implementation is superior to others and has taken time to get it right.
Schwinn was also asked about support for the legacy Glass panels installed in many Cirrus and other planes. He indicated that they have plans to provide capabilities like ADS-IN Weather and traffic, but made no announcements. The bigger problem is parts availability like screens. At some point in time; the ability to repair systems will be problematic.

Archive for the 'Fishing Reports' Category
Hey!! How about this warm weather were getting this week, and hopefully beyond!! It should warm the water up pretty fast, so the fishing can get alot better than it is right now!! this is a warm welcome from a long cold winter.
The hot tip of the week is that the full moon is coming in!! The Bream and Shellcracker fishing has been good, But should be outstanding for next week. Warm temps and a full moon make for great Panfish fishing! Doesn't get any better than that!!
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105
Thought for the week: The Bible is a useful tool as we face life's tasks.
To say it's been a long cold winter is probably an understatement? The good news is that the first day of spring is just a couple days away, and hopefully mother nature will cooperate!!
White Perch-this fishing has been smokin hot all winter, usually the colder it is the better the white perch fishing is, because the bait balls up and the perch are right there with em! Half ounce spoons have been the ticket all winter. Also i have incorporated the drop shot to catch them . the bait is a 2inch Gulp Berkley minnow about 5 inches above the sinker. they love it, and i have caught alot of White perch on the drop shot this year!!
Largemouth Bass- this fishing has been wide open the past couple of months. Monster bags have been weighed in at local tourneys. Crankbaits and jigs and shakey heads are catching alot of bass right now around docks and rocks. the bass are probably just itching to get to the banks to spawn!
Shellcrackers-We need some long sunny days for these fish to bite. 2pm till dark seems the best time to catch some mighty fine eatin Shellcrackers. 5 to 12 feet of water seems to be the best depth for them. Nightcrawlers and red worms as always is the best bait. points and secondary points with rocks is where i would fish!
Stripers- this fishing has been great also, some schooling action going on here and there. the best way to go is free lining live herring, or with planer boards. The water treatment plant and Ballentine cove have been the hot places as of the past few weeks.
It is god who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13
Thought for the week::: Where we may see only weeds, God sees a beautiful garden.
The smokin hot tip of the week would be that if your a White perch jerker, the fishin is on fire!!! The perch are still moving around a bit, but cooler temps like were having right now will slow them down a bit!! When you get on a school of them, you can pound them for awhile!! 1/2 ounce Berry's flex it spoons are the super hot ticket right now!! There just hammering those things right now. 25 to 35 feet of water around lots of bait is the deal!!! I personally fish from the big gap up to where the rivers split. Stripers are also mixed in with them, which is a great bonus!! Cooler water temps will make this bite even better!! Get out there and get some super extreme smokin hot action on the great tasting White perch and Stripers!!
The testing of your faith produces endurance. James 1:3
Thought for the week: With God, we can work to feed the world-with food and love!!copyright
The hot tip of the week is that the Shellcracker bite is hotter than a big bonfire right now!! Rip rap banks, points and secondary points are the hot ticket right now! Red worms, night crawlers and crickets all working well right now! Fish split shot rigs or mini carolina rigs on the bottom in 5 to 10 feet of water. I move every 30 to 45 minutes. I cover alot of points and rip rap banks.
The striper bite is great from the gap up into Buffalo creek. The problem is that the majority of the fish are not keepers. Lots of culling to get 5 keepers. Cooler temps should help with bigger Stripers.
Paul wrote, " I thank God, whom I serve, as my Ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day i constantly remember you in my prayers." 2 Timothy 1:3
Thought for the week: we receive unexpected Blessings when we meet God in prayer.
The hot tip of the week would be the Striper fishing!! The lake has turned over and the Stripers are schooling!! Finally!! Some really great fishing to be had right now!! Main lake area seems to still be the best right now!! Zoom flukes, jerkbaits, bucktails and topwater baits should all work well for schooling Stripers!! Quick limits to be had right now, along with some great eating!! have a great week everyone!!
The Lord said, " My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9
thought for the week: When we are not at our best, God is.
To say it's been a wet spring and summer is probably an understatement. It's down right crazy how much rain we have been getting this year!!
Stripers- it seems the only way to catch stripers right now is with down lines and free lines!! Live herring in deep water! I don't know anybody catching them any other way!! main lake area seems to be best right now!!
Largemouth Bass-This bite is really good early am. The frog bite has been on fire, also has the buzzbait bite!! After the morning starts getting hot, change to the shakey head!! i'm also getting reports of a good deep water crankbait bite!!
Catfish- as usual this time of year! the night bite is the right bite!! Fresh cut herring, bream, white perch and shrimp is a great way to go around points and humps at night!! as always make sure all your lights and flash light work before you leave the house!! And have plenty of bug spray on hand also!!
White perch-This bite is absolutely nuts!!! There everywhere. Shallow deep and in between!! Crazy bite right now!! Redworms on the bottom are working excellent right now!! Also Rapala countdown minnows are wearin out some white perch right now! There great when there shallow, which has been the case as of late!! These fish are great to eat by the way!!
The angel said to the women," Go quickly and tell [ Jesus ] disciples: He has risen from the dead and is going into Galilee, There you will see him. Matthew 28:7
Thought for the week: We are always in God's care.
Oh what a long wet, cool spring it's been!! The heat looks to be coming in soon! With warming water temps, the fishing should get real good, reel fast!!
Stripers- this fishing is best freelining live herring! There's not alot of schooling action going on right now! main lake areas seem to be the best bet! Better fishing should be right around the corner!
Shellcrackers and Bream- this fishing is great in 5 to 10 feet of water around secondary points and main lake points!! Even around the islands also!! Red worms fished on the bottom is best!! they haven't started to chase artificial baits just yet! Such as small crankbaits and spinners.. The water still needs to warm up a bit!!
Catfish- is great during day and night!! Worms or fresh cut bait is great around secondary points, main lake points, humps and the islands!!
I hope to have better reports, with better fishing soon!! We need some warm weather to really kick things into gear!!! Have a great week everyone!!!
Whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our Faith. 1 John 5:4
thought for the week: God is with us when life shakes us and unsettles us.
hello everyone!!
The hot tip of the week would be the Striper fishing!! Right now the Striper fishing is pretty much great all over right now!! River fishing is great, all the way up to the dam. Free lining live bait is a great way to go right now! But there has been some schooling action going on. There are absolutely crushing jerkbaits and the good ole faithful fluke!! Bucktails, rattle traps, and swimbaits are also catching some nice fish right now!! Warmer days are right around the corner. So get out and get some of the hot action right now!!
Largemouth Bass- this action is great also! The weekend tourneys are producing sacks over 20 pounds, pretty much every weekend! Umbrella rigs, shad raps, jerkbaits, jigs and shakey heads are all producing big largemouth bass right now! Points and sun drenched boat docks are all the rave right now!! Get out there and get some!!!
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
thought for the week-In God's kingdom, each of us will blossom and bear good fruit.
Happy Valentines Day!! Maybe your sweetie gave you some new fishing equipment?? How has everyone winter been?? The weather has been up and down all winter. Warm for a few days, then cold for a few days! Seems to have been the crazy pattern!! Spring is right around the corner! The fishing has been good for me all winter, and is getting better!!
Largemouth Bass- this fishing is really good right now. Taking over 20 pounds to win the weekend tourneys!! The typical patters apply. jigs around deep rockpiles! Crankbaits around secondary points, and jerkbaits, jerkbaits, jerkbaits!!! Can you tell jerkbaits are hot right now? Have been very good to me this winter!!
Shellcrackers- as of late this fishing is smokin hot right now in the main lake area!! The lake level has been on the rise with all the rain!! The shellcrackers are shallow back in the trees and flooded cover! Some are very hard to reach by boat!! The main lake has been hot because the water seems to remain pretty clear. the water from the gap up is pretty stained to even muddy!! So i would look for them in the main lake creek channel areas. As always red worms seem to be the bait of choice!
Stripers- seems to be good all over right now! Free lining live herring is the go to method, even with planer boards. But casting bucktails and spoons has been great also!! Stripers are in the river section, also in the gap, and some even in the mouth of the main lake creek channels!!! Just look for concentrations of birds being active!! If there not then move on to another area!!
White Perch-This is hit and miss because they seem to be all over the place right now!! Were not having a very cold winter? So it's not concentrating them into large tight schools! Just here and there. So you have to look for them, maybe for awhile with your electronics! They can be in 20 feet of water to even 50 feet of water? Really depends on the weather! Sometimes in 10 feet of water! I have found them from the gap way up into the rivers! But as always the half ounce flex it spoons are choice for them!! They love the jiggin spoon!!
Spring and greater fishing is right around the corner!! Have a great week everyone!
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3:25-26
Thought for the week:: Those who lean on God's love always have reason for hope!!
Is this crazy or what!!!! It's December and feels like a warm spring day! Well i guess we will take while we can, because it leads to this!!
Shellcrackers- Once again, this fishing is on FIRE!!!!!!! Hotter than a bonfire on a cold winters night!!! Redworms is the hot producer for these fish!! they just can't resist em!!! 5 to 10 feet of water has been the key depth for these fish!! Take it from me, if your not fishing for Shellcrackers right now?? Your missing out!!!
Largemouth Bass- This fishing is outstanding from the Big Gap up into the rivers!! Bass are cruising all over the shallows right now!! For a keeper bite, Fish Shakey heads and carolina rigs deeper, as in 10 feet of water or more..Secondary points, and deep docks!! Now for a pure fun numbers bite!!! Run the shallows with a small jerkbait, as in 4 inches or less!!! The bass are just crushing these things right now!!!! I use a Rapala countdown minnow, or a floating minnow!!!! 3 inch or 4 inch!! They will probably eat a 4inch senko also!!!
Stripers-This has been hit and miss for me???? i guess because the hot bite is up in the rivers..I haven't been up there yet!! But i do know from my friends that the bucktail jig with the ice fly trailer has been producing alot of fish!!! Blacks bridge area has been hot!!!
White perch–i'm going to have to seek professional help! Because i'm addicted to the perch jerking!! Fast a furious action, from the gap up to the rivers. Berrys flex it spoons are the ticket here!!! Find bait and the perch are right there with them!! 30 to 40 feet of water has been the magic depth..remember, the colder it gets, the better this bite will get!!! Love it!!! Gonna cacth some perch tommorrow!! Tip of the week for perch!! If they won't hit a berry spoon? Tie on a Cotton Cordell 3/8 silver spoon!! Lighter and a bit smaller, but they can't stand it!!!!!!!
Dear Brothers and Sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. Philippians 3:17
thought for the week: God does not call the prepared; God prepares the called.

Updated: March 14, 2014 8:44AM
Combining a parade with a 5K run is unusual, but it's a welcome concept for the nearly 100 runners who have signed up so far for the race.
The Manhattan Irish Fest is hosting its first 5K run along the festival's parade route on March 5. The runners will start at 11 a.m., followed by the parade,which will include floats, bands and bagpipers.
"The 5K race is a unique opportunity for runners to race on a parade route," race organizer Steve Koven said.
The race ends at the festival's main entertainment tent in Central Park, 110 S. Park St., where runners can enjoy a post-race party featuring Irish music and free beer, Koven said.
The $25 registration fee for the race includes an admission button to the tent and to the children's area at the park district recreation center, 397 State St.
The 5K run is organized by Prairie State Roadrunners. Registration is available at www.manhat

Forester321 "Generosity overpowers greed." ― Bryce Courtenay
I was absolutely falling asleep this afternoon and in desperate need of a cup of coffee. Pressing the button on my iPhone, I asked "Siri, where can I find a good cup of coffee?" Siri gave me several choices and I ended up in this little square.
They had a nice selection of coffee and serve alcohol in the evening. They have limited baked goods, depending on the day and how busy it is. I did manage to score a peanut butter cookie. I'd planned to just get my coffee to go but ended up sitting in the square and enjoying the good weather and peaceful afternoon.

Night work will begin Sunday, road restricted to one lane east of railroad bridge
CULPEPER — Motorists traveling East Rio Road during evening hours next week should expect to encounter brief delays east of the Norfolk Southern railroad bridge in the vicinity of the entrance to the Dunlora neighborhood.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane controlled by flaggers while a new waterline is laid across East Rio Road. The work will be done Sunday through Thursday nights between 7:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. to minimize the effect on traffic. Motorists should be aware of workers and equipment working near the travel lane. Inclement weather may force postponement of the operation.
VDOT offers the following tips for motorists to increase safety as they navigate highway work zones:
• Stay alert and pay attention. Expect anything to occur when entering a work zone.
• Turn on your headlights. Workers and other motorists must see you.
• Don't tailgate. Unexpected stops frequently occur in work zones.
• Don't speed. Note the speed limits in and around the work zone. Enhanced fines of up to $500 may be levied for speeding in a work zone.
• Follow the signs. Orange signs with black lettering should alert you on the approach to a work zone. Expect changes in traffic patterns as the project progresses.
• Keep up with traffic flow. Dedicate your full attention to the road and those traveling around you.
• Don't change lanes in the work zone. The time saved just isn't worth it.
• Minimize distractions. Avoid changing radio stations and using mobile phones in the work zone.
• Be patient. Remember, the construction or maintenance crewmembers are working to improve your future ride.
• Call 511. Receive up-to-the-minute traffic and weather information from any telephone in Virginia. Before you travel, log on to www.511Virginia.org for road and traffic conditions and weather updates.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

Most of the current oil producing companies are looking for various means to arrest the decline of their fields and augment production and improve recovery. In order to accomplish this, operators have embarked on implementing several techniques in the form of IOR/EOR. Many analysts feel that since oil in question is already discovered, but cannot be produced conventionally, it requires a step change in type of recovery, and implementation of IOR/EOR becomes the need of the hour. With several advances made in the area of drilling and completion, IOR/EOR projects will have a larger say in the overall growth of any production company. Particularly, the NOC's are embarking on an accelerated program of implementing such technologies.
Recovery is at the heart of oil production from a subsurface perspective, and if the average worldwide recovery factor can be pushed beyond current limits it will alleviate a number of issues related to global supply. Periodic revisits to development strategies, mid-course corrections are yielding rich dividends. Similarly, improved understanding of static and dynamic behavior of the system from pore scale to reservoir scale through new technologies is holding a lot of promise. Lowering cost of IOR/EOR solutions through improved drilling and completion techniques, low salinity waterflood, and use of microbials and other means of mobilizing left over oil are essential to develop attractive options. The applied technology workshop on IOR & EOR: Right Step for the Left Oil will focus on these topics—technologies from design to implementation.
Experienced individuals who will actively share their own case histories, experiences, and will actively contribute to the discussions. We expect participation from professionals involved as:
IMPORTANT: Please note most nationalities require a visa to enter India. Depending on the local consulate, India visa application process can take up to more than 2 weeks. SPE highly urges all delegates to apply for their visa as much in advance as possible to avoid delays and disappointments.
SPE Middle East, North Africa, and India will assist in providing a visa invitation letter, upon request in writing, to confirmed registrants after receiving full payment of registration fees. Visa invitation letters take five days to issue from the date of request and it is the delegate's responsibility to obtain their own visa. SPE cannot issue the visa nor can we guarantee it will be obtained.
Two days of informal discussions prompted by selected keynote presentations and discussions. Workshops maximise the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices. The majority of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learned. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and the press is not invited to attend.
Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Steering Committee encourages attendance from those who can contribute to the workshop most effectively either in discussions or with posters. A mix of attendees in terms of geographic origin, companies and disciplines will be encouraged.
In keeping with ATW objectives and the SPE mission, commercialism in posters or presentations will not be permitted. Company logos must be limited to the title slide and used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter and others involved in the work.
All attendees will receive an attendance certificate attesting to their participation in the workshop. This certificate will be provided in exchange for a completed Workshop Questionnaire.
Attendees at this workshop qualify for SPE Continuing Education Units (CEU) at the rate of 0.1 CEU per hour of the Workshop.

LV= Cup: George Pisi hat-trick helps Northampton into final

George Pisi scored a hat-trick of tries as Northampton booked their spot in the LV= Cup final with a 26-7 victory over Saracens at Franklin's Gardens.
The hosts raced away from their opponents in the second half, which Saracens had started with a 7-6 lead thanks to Ben Ransom's converted try.
But Sarries' defence could not withstand the pressure after the break as Samoa star Pisi crossed the line three times in the space of 25 minutes.
The Saints will play either Bath or Exeter in the final at Sandy Park next Sunday, while Saracens are left to lick their wounds after a fifth straight semi-final defeat in all competitions.
The home side started well with James Craig getting over the ball to win the first penalty and 20-year-old fly-half Will Hooley made it 3-0 after four minutes before adding another three points soon after.
Saracens eventually fought their way into the game and almost scored when Jack Collins broke down the wing only to be stopped by England full-back Ben Foden, who was making his first start since the end of November.
Young Northampton centre Tom Stephenson limped off early on to be replaced by Stephen Myler with Hooley moving into midfield, and from then on gaps started to appear in the competition's best defence.
The pressure finally told in the 20th minute as Jackson Wray broke off a five-metre scrum to charge to within a metre of the try-line and Ransom then slipped a tackle to touch down. Scrum-half Ben Spencer converted.
Saracens thought they had a second try when Marcelo Bosch stepped through the Northampton line from 10m out but referee Leighton Hodges went to the television match official, who spotted a forward pass from Nils Mordt to Wray in the build-up.
The home side were fortunate and relieved to go into half-time just one point behind as the visitors had failed to convert a number of opportunities to increase the advantage.
And Northampton emerged revitalised in the second half, retaking the lead when Pisi clattered over from close range after two five-metre lineout drives. Hooley missed the simple conversion to leave the home side 11-7 ahead, though Myler made up for it with a drop-goal on 59 minutes.
Pisi claimed a second try after a terrific Saints kick-chase led to a scrum five metres out and quick ball saw the centre charge over from short range on 65 minutes. Hooley again missed the extras.
Saracens almost found a way back in when Charlie Hodgson intercepted a Samu Manoa pass and raced towards the try-line, but Pisi superbly brought him down five metres short.
With two minutes left on the clock the Samoan capped his man-of-the-match display by blasting through on the cut back to score his third try which was converted by Myler.

CBS is Trying to Get Us to Raise Our Own Cable Bills
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Here's progress: Big media companies now think Americans are as gullible as politicians do. It's not just candidates who assume we're nincompoops. The cable operators and networks take us for pigeons, too.
Exhibit A is the current battle between behemoths Time Warner Cable and CBS. If you've been watching TV recently in New York, Dallas-Ft. Worth or Los Angeles, unless you have a gold medal in zapping, CBS's campaign against TWC has had you by the eyeballs.
"ATTENTION TIME WARNER CABLE SUBSCRIBERS" runs the crawl on one CBS ad, as urgent as an Amber alert. "Dexter. Gone. Ray Donovan. Gone. Homeland. Gone. Every great Showtime series, every hit movie, every big fight on Showtime may soon be gone. Why? Because Time Warner Cable is threatening to drop Showtime." Another CBS ad -- showing clips of CBS Sports programming, The Big Bang Theory and Under the Dome playing on a TV set wrapped in chains -- warns that "Time Warner Cable is holding your favorite shows hostage."
Next thing you know, TWC will be taking away your guns.
You wouldn't realize from these campaign-style ads that what's really at stake is money. Your money. Both CBS and TWC want more of it. They're probably going to get it. The only issue -- which this battle is about -- is how they'll divvy up what they pick from our pockets.
The roots of this fight go back to the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. (I love the names they give these laws.) Twenty years ago, with cable penetrating more and more households, usually via monopoly deals cut with local governments, the broadcast industry convinced Congress that local stations would lose so much advertising revenue to cable that it would damage their capacity to produce news and public affairs programming. So to ensure that licensed stations had enough resources to serve the information needs of their communities, Congress imposed "must carry" provisions on cable operators requiring them to retransmit all the local broadcast stations in the market. In return, the local stations could negotiate a fee for providing that content, and they would use that revenue to strengthen their local news programming.
How quaint all that seems now.
For starters, the national broadcast networks horned in on the local stations. Once upon a time, the big networks actually paid local affiliates for airing their programs. But today, turning things upside down, the networks routinely hold up stations for 50 percent or more of the retransmission fees they get from cable operators. Networks also have been gobbling up independent stations. The more money that CBS's six owned-and-operated stations in New York, Dallas-Ft. Worth and Los Angeles get from TWC in exchange for carrying their programming, the more money goes to CBS's corporate bottom line.
That's what's at stake in this intra-titan dispute. In those three markets, under a deal that's expiring, CBS stations have been getting between 75 cents and $1 a subscriber per month. In the new deal, according to one analyst, CBS is demanding that this be upped within two or three years to as much as $2 a subscriber per month. TWC says that CBS is asking for a 600 percent increase over the price it pays for CBS in other markets.
Who will pay for that increase? We will. Our cable bills have been rising astronomically -- nearly tripling between 2001 and 2011 -- because the cable companies have been passing along to consumers the cost of the vigorish that the broadcast networks are extracting from them, especially for sports. The result is that advertiser-supported networks like CBS have become de facto cable companies, concealing the subscription we pay to them within the subscription we pay for cable.

"Used cheerios instead of raisins, nuts, etc. Instead of chocolate chips, I sprinkled on chocolate jimmies. Kids loved them, even my super picky one. We just had a birthday and it made them forget there were cupcakes in the house. ;)"
"Soo good! I use spaghetti sauce and italian sausage instead and it adds tons of flavor. Kids love the filling in their peeper "bowls". I have used brown or white rice and no one knows the difference. The peppers turn out great every time. I usually 1/2 the recipe but not the sauce."
"Fantastic! Had something similar at church once, so couldn't resist it! I added sliced almonds to the cornflakes when I toasted it with butter, sauteed the onion and celery, and added 1/4 jar of pimentos. My DH said it was a keeper!"
"Made this for brownies...used vanilla soymilk so skipped the vanilla and used 1 less tbs of sugar. Mixed in 1/3 pkg of starbucks via mocha coffee mix to give it an expresso flavor too!"
"What a fun recipe! I made 1/2 with the coconut, mixed dried berries, and pecans and 1/2 with sunflower seeds (in place of coconut) and chocolate chunks. I used the (organic) molasses recipe and also used some cinnamon applesauce (about 2 tbspns total) to help hold it together. They taste better than store bought and are dairy free unlike name..."
"I love this and so did my family. Apples were perfect. A little sweet, but I used half soy milk."
"Really good. Kept finding my DH back at the pan after dinner. :) I used cream of celery instead of mushroom and sauteed my own mushrooms instead of canned. I covered it the last ten minutes and I think it kept the pasta from being crunchy."
"Will never use bisquick again! Used 1/2 cup of vanilla soy milk and 3/4 cup of 1% so it didn't have as much dairy. So light and dense at the same time...I now believe I can make perfect pancakes. Will try to add a banana next time."
"So delish! Made this for our anny dinner. Left out the red pepper b/c we have three small children. The lemon flavor got inside the shrimp...mmmm. Be aware that this has a really strong lemon flavor. Next time I might try a little white wine in the sauce. I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 margarine b/c my daughter is sensitive to milk products ..."
"This is so yummy! I use one french vanilla and one cheesecake pudding. I use the whole 8 oz of cool whip in the pudding mix and then put about 4 oz on top. Substituted choc chunks instead of the berries."

If Czech Republic were to choose an official song for their national team at EuroBasket 2013 there is no doubt they would go for the famous Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody."
But do not be fooled by the word Bohemian and its obvious association with the Czech lands, that is not why they would pick it. As it is the case with this unique song that has no chorus, a similar pattern applies to this Czech team, or Czech basketball for that matter: there is no standard style of play or a player with a fixed role...
That of course is not a bad thing in a team sport like basketball. Coach Pavel Budinsky should actually consider himself lucky that he can rely on different options and an array of versatile, athletic players to deliver the goods on any given day - a group which also happens to be the exact same group of players (with the addition of Jan Vesely and Pavel Houska) that qualified the team to EuroBasket.
Arguably, in Slovenia the eyes of the media will be on Vesely, Czech basketball's only current NBA export, a very talented, athletic forward, who can play any position from "3" to "5", who made his name in Serbia, with Partizan Belgrade and he is still loved there.
Vesely, is coming off a frustrating season with the Washington Wizards and while he will be looking to make amends for that in Slovenia, the supporting role of a number of other versatile players in the team is expected to be more than crucial if the Czechs are to go beyond the Celje part.
That role will fall mainly on the shoulders of Tomas Satoransky, who is also drafted by Vesely's Washington, David Jelinek of Laboral Kutxa and the veterans Jiri Welsch and Lubos Barton. There is also Pavel Houska, a twice MVP of the domestic Mattoni NBL.
In Budinsky's own words his team is set to play basketball "in the right direction" and make their opponents fight for every point.
"Being the outsider on paper always helps," explains the coach who thinks that having no expectations other than showing the world that Czechs can play ball at this level can be beneficial for the psychology of his team.
As things are the Czechs are happy to just be here - remember, this is only their third appearance in 14 years and, after two shock wins over Lithuania and Greece in their opening games in 1999 they have now gone on to lose their preceding seven appearances on Europe's biggest stage.
But there is a concealed optimism if not determination in the players' camp that the team can actually go far in this Championship.
"I personally always like to surprise [others]. Last time out [at EuroBasket 2007] we took [Dirk] Nowitzki's Germany to overtime; we were only a small step away from winning that game," big man Jakub Houska was quoted by the media.
And Nowitzki is not around anymore...

Diagram of the Human Brain Parts

Diagram Of The Human Brain Parts
Diagram Of The Human Brain Parts
The most complicated human body system is the nervous system. The central part of one's nervous system is the brain. The weight of the human brain is approximately 1.5 kg among adults. The bulk of this organ is formed by the cerebrum which is divided into the left and right hemispheres; as always shown in the diagram of the human brain.
Every brain hemisphere interacts with half of your body. The right side takes control of your body's left half whereas the left half takes control of your body's right half. The right and the left sides of anyone's brain are symmetrical in several respects. The major difference among many people is that the left hemisphere deals with creativeness and language whereas the right side deals with the judgment and understanding. Although right and left hemispheres play a similar essential role, the right is often attributed to intelligence and the left with personality.
Parts of the Brain and their Functions
The diagram of the human brain often highlights several parts of the brain and their functions. Here are some of such parts:
Brain Stem: It connects your brain to the spinal cord. Its primary role is to aid in survival. It is considered as the most primitive part of the entire human brain and is situated in the brain's furthest end position. Any injury that occurs to one's brain stem affects the proper functioning of the heart together with that of the digestive system.
Cerebellum: Cerebellum is situated within the brain's occipital lobe. It is placed behind an individual's skull. It is comparatively equal in size to a peach and also contains folded tissues Functions of the cerebellum include coordinating muscular movement, maintaining balance while walking, running, swimming, riding, etc. It also helps in controlling simultaneous subconscious actions, such eating while talking among others.
Cerebrum: It is the largest brain part and is situated above the cerebellum. The diagram of the human brain intended to highlight its different functions reveals the cerebrum is divided into the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. The cerebrum is responsible for various body functions like motor skills, senses, languages, consciousness and reasoning.
Hypothalamus: Brain signals that interact with the body's hormonal system originate from the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus maintains the body's status quo. Other roles of the hypothalamus within the human body are monitoring body temperature, blood pressure, appetite and weight.
Thalamus: It is the relay station in the brain. It always relays signals in either direction. It sorts, processes and then directs every signal from the spinal column and mid brain toward the cerebrum and from the spinal cord toward the nervous system.
Medulla Oblongata: It is the lowest section of your brain stem. It is situated at the top end position of your spinal cord. It is responsible for the control of body functions like heartbeat and breathing among other body operations.
Pituitary Glands: Its size is as large as a pea. It forms part of one's endocrine system, which helps in the secretion of different hormones. The endocrine system additionally maintains the body's hormonal balance.

There's no immodest way to say this, so I'll just come out and say it: I just had the #1 best book release party in history. Here's the proof, courtesy of Bryan Adams Photography:
All three of Las Vegas's alternative weeklies like my book. For the most part.
If I had to put grades on the reviews, I'd say that Las Vegas Weekly gave me an A, CityLife gave me a B+, and Vegas Seven gave me a B.
Here are the highlights:
CityLife: "It's an oddly addicting read."
The blogosphere likes my book, for the most part.
Here are the highlights of some recent blog reviews:
From BellasNovella:
"Part memoir, part random facts—it brought to mind Freakonomics (and not just because Lax mentions the book), but was a much more enjoyable read. All the ingredients for a quick fiction read: the love story, the humor, the fun ensemble cast - it had a relatable, fun tone, not often found in memoirs."
