Quick Bites: Forrest Wood Cup, Lake Lanier, Day 3
2010 Forrest Wood Cup
Lake Lanier – Atlanta, Ga.
Semifinals, Saturday
Heartbreak hotel … Perhaps nobody in the entire field wanted to win the Forrest Wood Cup more than pre-tournament favorite Tom Mann Jr., of Buford, Ga. Fishing in his backyard in front of a decidedly partisan hometown crowd, Mann gave it his best shot. But unfortunately, in the end, Mann fell just short of making the top-six, final-day cut by an agonizing 7 ounces. By the time weigh-in had concluded, Mann stood in seventh place overall with a total catch of 34 pounds, 10 ounces. Although he fished well and was about as well prepared as anyone in the field, Mann knew that the first day of competition was his downfall. "Nobody wanted to fish tomorrow worse than me," said Mann, who choked up a few times during his final onstage interview. "But I had that little ol' slip on that first day. If I had made (the cut) I really feel like I would have had a shot." In the end, his 9-pound, 6-ounce catch and 21st place finish on day one would ultimately turn out to be the weak link. "Lake Lanier didn't really show itself this week and I'm a little disappointed about that."
Rodgers ecstatic in victory … One of the most heartwarming moments of the entire day-three weigh-in came at the end when Dearal Rodgers of Camden, S.C., out-dueled California powerhouse J.R. Wright by a grand total of 6 ounces to win the Forrest Wood Cup title in the Co-angler Division and walk away with $65,000. When the final weights were announced, Rodgers – the 2009 FLW Tour co-angler of the year – shot his arms up in victory and was quickly joined onstage by his wife and two children. "It's been a long time coming," said Rodgers of his victory. "When I told my wife that I wanted to become a (tournament angler), she asked me how long it would take (to be successful). I told her, 'Give me five years.' Well, that was almost exactly five years ago." While victory was sweet, Rodgers was undoubtedly helped by a little bit of fateful intervention as well. For starters, Rodgers was greatly assisted by Wright's uncharacteristic one-fish catch on day two. How out of character was that? Since beginning his fishing career with FLW Outdoors in 2006, Wright had earned two titles (a 2009 FLW Series event on the Cal Delta and a 2008 American Fishing Series event at Lake Havasu) and scored 15 top-10 finishes in only 38 events total. Wright had also amassed nearly $100,000 in winnings, finished second in the FLW Series Western Division points race in 2008 and 2009 (and is currently in second place in 2010) and finished in the top 10 in the overall standings in the American Fishing Series Western Division from 2007-2009. Throw in the final day snafu of third-place finisher Frank Divis, Sr., who lost a qualify fish at 2:30 p.m. which could have put him over the top and it was clear that the final outcome could have gone either way. But in the end, Rodgers had earned every penny and deserved to be crowned champion.
Ehrler continues his hot streak … While Bryan Thrift of Shelby, N.C., grabbed most of the headlines this year for his stellar season, which included one FLW Tour win, four top-10 FLW Tour finishes and a 2010 FLW Tour AOY title, Brent Ehrler of Redlands, Calif., continued to quietly put together one of the greatest seasons in recent memory as well. For starters, Ehrler won two FLW Tour titles in 2010, winning at Lake Ouachita and Table Rock Lake while finishing fifth place overall in the FLW Tour AOY race. He also won the FLW Series event on Lake Shasta, placed fourth at the FLW Series event at Lake Mead and is currently in first place overall in the 2010 FLW Series Western Division Angler of the Year race. But clearly Ehrler wasn't content with just those accolades. Bolstered by a three-day catch of 39 pounds, 3 ounces, Ehrler took over the top spot in the 2010 Forrest Wood Cup heading into the final day of competition on Lake Lanier. On the verge of winning two Forrest Wood Cup titles, something no angler has ever done, Ehrler could write one of the most remarkable chapters in bass-fishing history if everything goes his way on Sunday. "I wasn't expecting to catch what I did today. I really didn't," said the National Guard pro in characteristically humble fashion. "I actually kind of struggled today. I'm real fortunate to have caught what I caught."
Morrow takes a giant step forward … Heading into the 2010 BFL All-American, Troy Morrow was a little-known angler from Toccoa, Ga. Sure, he had thrown down 12 top-10 finishes in BFL competition since he began his fishing career with FLW Outdoors in 2002, but otherwise his lifetime achievements were fairly nondescript. However, all that changed when he captured the All-American title this year. Not only did he walk away with a victory in one of the most grueling bass-fishing events in the nation, but he also earned a berth in the prestigious 2010 Forrest Wood Cup. Certainly, he would be happy just to show up, right? "Not really," said Morrow. "There was a lot of pressure on me to do well here since I live so close to Lanier." In any event, while the majority of the bass punditry class considered Morrow little more than an afterthought in this competition, the Georgia native had other ideas. And to his credit, he fulfilled his every expectation – out-gunning 72 of the nation's top pros to gain an improbable spot in the finals of the 2010 Forrest Wood Cup. "It really turns your stomach standing up here," said Morrow, clearly excited by the prospect of having a legitimate chance at walking away with the title. "It really proved that I have what it takes to hang with these guys. My goal coming in here was to make the finals and I did that. Now anything that happens, happens." What's happened is that Georgia angler has taken one small step for BFL anglers everywhere and one giant leap in the career of Troy Morrow.

Sound bites
"I'm so proud to tell you that Walmart is back. Not only are they back, but they're back bigger and better than before." – FLW Outdoors Chairman Irwin Jacobs announcing onstage that Walmart will be back as a title sponsor of FLW Outdoors for years to come.
"I'm really glad Walmart is getting back into fishing. I'm so proud Walmart is back." – Chevy pro Jay Yelas, echoing Jacobs' sentiments.
"If I jump in this (weigh-in) basket we'll be there." – Pro Jim Moynagh, joking about the extreme measures that it would take for him to qualify for the finals at the 2010 Forrest Wood Cup.
"Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug." – FLW Tour pro Jacob Powroznik speaking of his disappointing day on the water.
"I still feel like I'm dreaming onstage. I'm just so happy." – Co-angler Hideki Maeda discussion how privileged he felt just to be invited to the Forrest Wood Cup.
"I caught the biggest spotted bass I've ever caught in my life yesterday. I won the (FLW Tour) Angler of the Year title and I've had a good Forrest Wood Cup. So it's been a lot of fun." – FLW Tour pro Bryan Thrift commenting on both the joy of competing this week on Lake Lanier and on the FLW Tour throughout the 2010 season.
"I didn't lose any fish the first two days. But I lost four today, including two big ones in the last hour." – Pro Jason Meninger, commenting on his disappointment today in missing the cut after being in a strong position to qualify for the 2010 Forrest Wood Cup finals after day-two competition.
"Okay, you hold Charlie and I'll read the scales." – Deareal Rodgers, joking to fellow co-angler J.R. Wright about restraining tournament host Charlie Evans in an effort to finally figure out who had won the co-angler title.
"We're heading to Hot Springs next year for the Cup and Scott Suggs is probably going to win. So this is the last chance I'm going to have to become the first angler to win two Cup titles before he does." Brent Ehrler on the extra motivation he has to take home the 2010 Cup title in Sunday's competition.

Blake Shelton Lashes Out At Music Critic Over 'Voice' Contestant
Apparently Blake Shelton isn't someone you want to anger. At least if his recent messages on Twitter are any indication.
After last night's (June 4) episode of The Voice (on which Shelton is a coach), Houston Chronicle music critic Joey Guerra shared his opinion on Twitter about Holly Tucker, a contestant on the show who was sent home.
#TheVoice sends one singer back to Texas. Don't worry, it's not the one we care about: blog.chron.com/tubular/2013/0…
— Joey Guerra (@joeyguerra) June 5, 2013
Guerra also linked to a recap he wrote on the episode, where he stated, "OH. Holly Tucker is gone. It took much too long. But finally. Back to Baylor University in Waco for you, madam."
However, Shelton (whose Voice team until last night included Tucker) felt that Guerra went too far. When he saw what Guerra wrote about Holly Tucker, he didn't hold back his displeasure, firing off a succession of angry Tweets. Calling what the Chronicle critic wrote "hate," he said that Guerra makes him "sick" and even called him a "chicken s***" because of the "hurtful things" he wrote about a "kid" who was just "chasing a dream."
"How about you come tell me to my face how terrible some of these kids are face to face..?" Shelton wrote. "You won't. Ever."
It's people like you @joeyguerra that make me sick… Holly is not only a talented singer but a great person that's simply chasing a dream..
— Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) June 5, 2013
I swear to god I cant understand the mentality of a grown man ripping on young kids over and over again for just trying their hardest. Kids!
— Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) June 5, 2013
After calming down, Shelton apologized to his fans for the outbursts and explained his position.
I'm sorry for going off y'all… But I am passionate about encouraging young people to follow their dreams.. We GOOD people don't need hate.
— Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) June 5, 2013
One of Guerra's colleagues, Andrew Dansby, came to his defense in a post published by the Houston Chronicle today, writing that "Guerra's opinion was Tucker wasn't as good as the other contestants. The words were curt, but nothing about them was hateful."
Guerra responded to Shelton's Tweets in the piece as well.

By Jason Knight The following bow making instructions will help you construct an effective bow in a relatively short amount of time.
A quickie bow is a fast-made bow for immediate use in a survival situation. It is carved from a sapling or branch of a tree. The reason it is called a "quickie" bow is because it is made at the time the wood is harvested, rather than waiting a year or more for the wood to season (as is typical for regular bow construction).

I work at a very known company. Im already married. I had a husband whose very adventurous. One night, we planned to experiment some group banging with some men. As yhe plan works on the said date my husband prepared our house and invited some of his friends to come on our house. During that day i went to a parlor to ready myself having some makeover with seductive make up. I buy some sexy clothes for my outfit. I bought a skinny white dress and a g string undies and worn them immediately. I was about to finish my thing around 7pm in the evening. As i travel home my husband keeps on calling me to know where exactly am i for he and his friends able to prepare. Few minutes later as i arrived the our house i alreay here him and his friends laughing and joking then as i walked and reach inside our house, i paused and stare them with a sexy look. Then my husband immediately lock the door. Then as i finish them with a sexy look i pretend to accidentaly throw down my phone on the floor for them to notice by g string undies to give them an apetizer. Then i look back at them and say are you all ready? Then all of my husbands friends run up to me and started touching my private parts which mades me more hornier.

Very fast delivery
Could be better
Expected a stronger scent but otherwise a good lip balm
Wonderful fragrance and ingredients, was not moisturising enough for my chapped lips
I love it!! I have been recommending this product to friends.
Product is not sticky but very moisturising and the smell and taste are lovely. I will be purchasing again.
Pleasant smelling, softens lips and quick handy moisturiser for anywhere anywhere!
The balm is moisturising when first applied but it hasn't done any wonders for my lips and I was a little disappointed. It also tastes like some form of body lotion which isn't very nice to apply on your mouth. I haven't yet used it on any other area so I can't give a review on its other jobs but overall its an average balm with an undesirable taste and I won't be repurchasing
Fast, efficient service as always.
Best website I have used to buy make up
Good value and does job well
Excellent service. Free delivery is a bonus.
Top service and products!

Since energy levels are based on a percentage of maximum heart rate, knowing your maximum heart rate is important. In addition, observing sudden drops in your maximum heart rate can indicate over-training. While a basic formula for estimating maximum heart rate exists, it can be far from accurate. Here is a basic summary of maximum heart rates adapted from Ernest W. Maglischo's book, Swimming Fastest.
Most of us learned at some point in Junior High gym class that maximum heart rate was equal to 220 bpm minus your age. Take me for example:
220-25=195 Maximum Heart Rate
However, age alone cannot accurately predict maximum heart rate. In addition to physiological difference between athletes, maximum heart rate is lower while swimming than during land-based exercises because the horizontal positioning and the cooling effect of exercising in water. The only truly accurate way to get maximum heart rate readings is to take your heart rate after swims of maximal efforts of at least a minute long. These heart rate "test sets" should be done several times to establish maximum heart rate, and the results should be averaged to reduce the margin of error. Increasing your fitness should not make much discernible difference on your maximum heart rate.
Here is an example of a recent test set I completed.
1-70% Effort @ 5:00 (4:46)
2-80% Effort @ 5:10 (4:37)
3-90% Effort @ 5:20 (4:30)
4-100% Effort (4:25)
My heart rate after each 400 was 188, 190, 190, 192, as taken by my AquaPulse, so my average would be 190. Future testing will insure that the correct maximum heart rate is being used in my calculations.

A dazzle of books..?
Posted on | December 5, 2012 | 31 Comments
A plague of locusts…
A pride of lions…
A flock of sheep…
But what do you call a collection of books about collective nouns?
A brilliance?
A giggle?
A talent?
When it comes to the set published by PatrickGeorge, all of the above could apply.
A filth of starlings, A drove of bullocks, A crackle of crickets and A shiver of sharks each take a themed set of collective nouns, illustrate them in witty and bold ways, a provide a paragraph of information about each animal in question. Part non-fiction book, part English-language/literacy book, part science book, part word-play book, each of these volumes is inventive and engaging.
Whether you are reading about a run of salmon, where an optical illusion allows the illustration to look both like a salmon's head and a running shoe, or a culture of bacteria, where the contents of a petri dish looks like Mona Lisa, each page plays with our understanding of language and the way we look at objects.
The modern, bright illustrations are crisp, cool and clever. The text is informative and playful. Perfect for any kid who enjoys puns or animals, these bold books are fun for all.
With these books in mind the girls and I made our own volume of collective nouns:
We all enjoyed playing with language and sitting down simply drawing together.
Now, I'm delighted to say I have one set of all 4 books on collective nouns to give away to a lucky reader.
- (1) Tweet about this giveaway, perhaps using this text: Win a set of really clever & rather stylish books by @PatrickGeorge2 over at @playbythebook's blog http://www.playingbythebook.net/?p=23269 #giveaway
- (2) Share this giveaway on your Facebook page or blog
You must leave a separate comment for each entry for them to count.
Good luck!

Loved collective nouns as a schoolgirl (a long time ago!). Can't wait to try this with my son
A chest of books (not just ones about collective nouns, but any sort) is a treasure… whatever name you call it by, a pleasure for all the senses!

Oh what clever books!!! Our favourite collective noun has to be: a crash of rhino's!!!

New Sony HDTVs come with 500GB hard drives on board
Tuesday, February 8, 2011 - 3:15pm
Who wants a separate DVR? With three new models of Sony TVs, you won't need one, as they come with 500GB hard drives built right in. Not enough? You can expand them via external hard drives.
All three models are 1080p LED LCD TVs and come in 40-inch, 32-inch and 22-inch varieties. Those hard drives will be able to store up to 65 hours of HD programming, which should keep you set for a while. They're coming to Japan first, but they may end up on these shores soon enough as well.

Richard Petty Motorsports
2014 Fantasy Racing Outlook
The No. 43 RPM team has tabbed truck series driver Armstrong to replace the departed Michael Annett in the team's Ford. Armstrong claimed a 12th-place finish in the driver standings of the Camping World Truck Series last year. He'll look to improve even more in his rookie campaign in the Nationwide Series. Armstrong will have a pretty good team to prove his talents. Annett proved the team capable with 21 Top-10 finishes over the last two seasons. With Phillipe Lopez calling the shots once again, Armstrong should have every chance to shine with this well-established team.

(Excerpt from press release)
On Friday, April 5th, San Mateo Police Officers responded to a report of an interrupted residential burglary in the 600 block of Edgewood Road. At the time SMPD was called and responded, the suspects were already gone from the scene.
At around the same time, Hillsborough Police engaged in a pursuit of a White Chevy Malibu leaving Hillsborough and onto Interstate 280 northbound where items were discarded from the moving vehicle. Daly City Police ultimately located the vehicle abandoned in San Francisco. The Malibu was established as the suspect vehicle in this case. The involved burglaries match the now commonly seen door-knock method of operation by the suspect.
Investigation revealed connections to burglary cases in both Hillsborough and Belmont. SMPD, Belmont PD, and Hillsborough PD have been working collaboratively to identify and arrest the suspect. He has been identified as Melvin Bellard, a 20 year-old resident of San Francisco with strong ties to the East Bay. San Mateo Police currently hold a warrant for Bellard's arrest for Burglary.
San Mateo, Belmont, and Hillsborough are actively seeking to locate Bellard and are asking for the public's help. A photo of Bellard is attached. Anyone with information on suspect Melvin Bellard is encouraged to contact the San Mateo Police Department at 650-522-7700.
Suspects who are using the door-knock method may pose as solicitors, neighbors, or say they are "looking for friends." They are actually looking for unoccupied residences. These bandits then look for unsecured doors and windows, or access to areas of property not visible to the street to force entry.
If a stranger knocks on your door – LET THEM KNOW IF YOU ARE HOME – you may speak loudly through the closed door and let them know you are not interested, and ask them to go away. If you are suspicious of their activity at all, call the police via 911.
Make sure you secure ALL your doors and windows if you are not home, even if it is only for a short period of time.

Biblical epics return!
September 29th, 2012 by p1, Filed under: Funny, OT
(Sorry, nothing to do with security in this one.)
Hollywood has rediscovered the Bible as movie source material. (Probably because it's in the public domain, and saves costs.)
In production is "Noah," which stars Russell Crowe as someone mumbling about God telling him to build a boat, and then beating up his neighbours when they make fun of him for it.
Steven Spielberg is supposed to direct "Gods and Kings," about Moses. Therefore it will star special effects, and probably have the tagline "I(sraels) C(hildren) Go Home!"
"The Redemption of Cain" is supposed to be Will Smith's directorial debut, so Cain will probably turn Black and therefore become cool.
"Mary, Mother of Christ," is being billed as a prequel to "The Passion of the Christ," so will probably have the most violent Madonna ever.
Fox and Ridley Scott are working on "Exodus," so it will probably be the most inaccurate Biblical epic ever filmed, and may star alien monsters.
(Just in case you think I'm making all of this up, it's based on a report in the WSJ.)

I was recently listening to some vintage country music by Glen Campbell. He was singing "Southern Nights" which is one of my favourites. This song was a big hit for him in March 1977 as the it held the number 1 position in Billboard magazine for two straight weeks. Midway through the song we hear the lyrics "Southern Skies, have you ever noticed Southern Skies. Its precious beauty, lies just beyond the eye ….." and this is so true.

Yves Saint Laurent helped myriad women get through that dark period by popularizing the pantsuit. His creation was a perfect blend of machismo, sex appeal, and feminine drama. And it was irresistible to women who loved fashion as much as they enjoyed breaking barriers.
Then Giorgio Armani came along and gave women a feminine uniform: a graceful suit in a neutral color. It was a shield made out of fine Italian wool crepe, and it has been worn into battle by the likes of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who, with her signature Tahitian pearls, is often cited for pitch-perfect business style. Others who get it right? Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, NBC Universal exec Lauren Zalaznick, newswoman Katie Couric, and potential first ladies Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain.
Who gets it all wrong? Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Her mop-top hairstyle, fusty blazers, and schoolmarm spectacles give her the appearance of a forgettable middle manager, not someone campaigning to help lead the free world. Perhaps Cindy McCain will rub off on her.
Where Armani once stood alone, now there are a host of style-smart labels. Rice's affection for Akris has made it a go-to brand for professional women. Others find security in the fashion cachet of a Chanel jacket. Hugo Boss and Narciso Rodriguez are favored because of their exquisite tailoring. Bottega Veneta is attractive because of its luxurious understatement. And Alber Elbaz at Lanvin provides women with clothes that have a well-balanced blend of confidence and femininity.
Philanthropist Deeda Blair swears by the classics: Chanel, vintage YSL couture, and Ralph Rucci. What does she reach for when she has an important meeting? "Usually not something new but something familiar, dependable, very simple, and not distracting," she says.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year,we had great food, good fellowship and family love. This is the time of year that we overlook one's faults even though we won't acknowledge our own. It's too easy to criticize ones habits and never think that we have habits that may bother other family members. Everyone was delightful and merry, and we all got into the true meaning of Christmas, the day of celebration for the birth of Jesus. He is our keeper and he is our son of Christ whom built this world for us to make into a better place. So far we have failed.

Research has shown that both schools and parents believe social networking could play a positive role in students' lives, and both are interested in social networking as a tool. So why has social networking not been leveraged more in schools to enhance the education of youth?
