Traveler's Aide: New York to D.C. via California?
Question: I was booked on a round-trip JetBlue flight from Washington Dulles to New York's JFK airport. On the day of my return flight, I arrived at the airport and was told that my one hour, 45-minute 4:25 p.m. flight had been rescheduled—not canceled—via Oakland, California. With this new itinerary, I would depart at 6:32 pm, arrive in Oakland that night to connect with a red-eye flight in California and arrive at Dulles the next morning at 6:47 am.

After I refused to accept the 12-hour trip, the agent actually said he would be willing to drive me home. I was also told that I could rent a car. At no time was any effort made to try to rebook me on another carrier; as far as JetBlue was concerned, they were sending me home via California.
My final recourse was to ask for a refund for the unused portion of my ticket. JetBlue did refund that $165. However, this did not solve my problem of how to get home. I incurred about $400 of out-of-pocket costs to get home, with a taxi to Penn Station from JFK, an Amtrak ticket, then a taxi to Dulles to retrieve my car where I had left it.
I later called JetBlue and was told that its customer bill of rights does not allow cancellations due to weather. At no time when I checked in was I told that the flight was canceled or that there were weather issues. I was told only that the routing had been changed. I would like JetBlue to refund the full fare to cover my $232 train fare, and if they really cared about customer service then they would graciously refund my taxi fare of $165.
—Susan Howard, Washington, D.C.
Answer: Howard's July 8 JetBlue flight was canceled when widespread thunderstorms and hail pelted the Northeast. The weather chaos meant that getting her on a new flight in a timely manner might be tough—but did JetBlue seriously expect her to head home via a 12-hour connection through California?
Not really, as it turns out. When JetBlue makes a change to an existing flight schedule, its booking system automatically reassigns affected passengers onto new JetBlue routes or flights. The system tends to be accurate in choosing convenient alternatives for customers, according to JetBlue representative Allison Steinberg. However, as an added precaution, the airline's customer support team prints the flight lists out to comb for any one-off situations that might be less than favorable, she says.
"In the rare instances when a schedule change, as in this case, means an unreasonable connection, our crewmembers will manually rebook the customer on the next available flight that does make sense," says Steinberg. "The case of Ms. Howard was an unfortunate anomaly."
Apparently an update to JetBlue's booking system accidentally activated a function that is supposed to be used only in extraordinary circumstances when a passenger needs to get somewhere any way possible. This feature is generally kept off, but was turned on in Howard's case, which is why she was rebooked on an itinerary that was clearly ridiculous.
The function was quickly turned off, says Steinberg. JetBlue couldn't say whether other passengers were offered similar roundabout itineraries or whether anyone actually accepted them.
Howard's cross-country itinerary was a double anomaly, then, since she was offered an unreasonable routing and JetBlue's agents failed to notice it. Make that a triple: The wisecracking check-in agent in New York didn't attempt to find another option.
"Out of respect for the privacy of our customers we won't comment on the details of a specific instance, but in general we encourage customers to contact us and we'll do our best to accommodate them," says Steinberg.
JetBlue's Customer Bill of Rights spells out how the airline compensates passengers whose flights are delayed or canceled due to events within the carrier's control with credits for future travel. The site even has a handy link so travelers can search to find out if their flight qualifies for compensation. But for the most part, travelers whose flights are canceled due to weather aren't eligible for the airline's vouchers since those delays are beyond the airline's control.
Technically, Howard wasn't eligible for any compensation beyond the refund of the unused portion of her flight, which JetBlue had already credited. I sent her complaint to JetBlue and asked about that 12-hour itinerary.
JetBlue contacted Howard to apologize for her experience. The airline issued a full refund for her $284 trip, including the inbound flight she completed which was not affected by the weather.
"We hold our customer privacy in the highest regard, so I'm not able to share with you additional details of the customer's situation," says Steinberg.
Howard shared what JetBlue wouldn't: The airline agreed to reimburse her for her out-of-pocket taxi fares of about $165. That's an unusual step for an airline; JetBlue went above and beyond to resolve this traveler's complaint.
How can you avoid trouble?
Ask for help. Howard's long-haul itinerary change was anomalous, but passenger complaints over rebooked flights on any airline are commonplace. If you're not making headway with the ticket agent, ask for a supervisor or call or e-mail the airline's customer-service department.

LOS ANGELES, March 26, 2013 — The Colorado Rockies are hopefully finished with their ridiculous pitching experiment where they only let their starters throw 75 pitches before pulling them. The Rockies finished last in the NL West with a 64-98 record in 2012.
Things don't look any brighter for the Rockies this year either. One bright spot is that Troy Tulowitzki will be back to help the other bright spot, Carlos Gonzalez. The offense will have to put up a lot of runs because their pitching will be giving up a lot of them as well.
The Rockies signed recently-released Jon Garland to take the fifth rotation spot in a rotation filled with worrisome pitchers and question marks. First year manager Walt Weiss definitely has his work cut out for him.
Projected payroll: $68,988,571
Notable Players Out: 1B Jason Giambi, LHP Jonathan Sanchez
Notable Players In: IF Reid Brignac, RHP Jon Garland, RHP Chris Volstad,
Prospect Watch: 3B Nolan Arenado and LHP Drew Pomeranz
Highlight Hitter: LF Carlos Gonzalez (ZiPS 2013 Projections: .297/.363/.531 22 HR/89 R/85 RBI)
Highlight Pitcher: Jhouls Chacin (ZiPS 2013 Projections: 10-8, 4.42 ERA, 7.26 K/9, 136.3 IP)

Cargill believes that innovation and collaboration are vital to helping its customers and employees succeed—to thrive. To connect employees in 67 countries, it created a cost-efficient unified communications
strategy that gives teams the ability to communicate from anywhere. Cargill achieved its vision by deploying Microsoft Lync Server 2013, which boosts collaboration, returns a net value of US$1 million annually, and increases the company's competitive edge.
Business Needs
Privately owned Cargill has operations in 67 countries at 1,500 locations around the world, offering its customers food, financial, agricultural, and industrial products and services. Since its founding in 1865, the company has grown to 65 business units.
Because its operations are global, teamwork across time zones is considered a key avenue to success at Cargill. The company strives to increase employee cooperation and engagement in delivering customer solutions.
Several years ago, Cargill had about 55 vendors that provided a wide variety of collaboration tools, including several web conferencing services, different video conferencing solutions, and multiple clients for presence and instant messaging. To bring its
diverse communications structure into alignment and provide a forum for innovation and collaboration, the company decided to create a unified communications strategy.
IT leaders at Cargill began working on an efficient way to deliver software tools that would provide more complete solutions while also enabling flexibility for employees working across the globe. Cargill began to implement its unified communications strategy
in 2008.
Progress on the early phases of the project was slow because of budgetary constraints, but by 2012, the Cargill IT group completed one of its first steps: delivering instant messaging and presence with Microsoft Lync Server 2010. The deployment was successful.
"The solution was very robust. Since deploying Lync Server, we haven't experienced a major critical incident with it anywhere within Cargill," says Steve Hanson, Global IT Manager at Cargill.
The implementation of instant messaging was so successful that the team received approval to move to the next stage of its unified communications strategy: using web conferencing along with the other Lync capabilities. "In addition to Lync Server 2010, we were
already using Microsoft software like Microsoft SharePoint Server, Microsoft Office, and Outlook and Exchange, so we ultimately decided that Lync would be our strategic path," says Hanson. "We already have some Cisco technology, so we're going to use a hybrid
solution while we continue to leverage those investments."
Additionally, says Hanson, "We created a dial-in experience and put voice gateways in different data centers globally. This enables us to use Lync for meetings for those who can't log on to a PC."
The small IT group created momentum by training three core staff who created presentation meetings to tell the story of how people could start benefitting from using new and other key features available in the solution. "Lync itself did exactly what it was
supposed to do. Coordinating internal logistics and finding the right consulting advice were our biggest hurdles," Hanson says.
Cargill also encouraged employees to use the Lync Web App, Lync Mobile, and Lync Edge services to connect to Cargill for communication tasks such as meetings and quick conferences with colleagues—from the field or from home. "Employees have said, 'Are you
kidding me? I have access now?' We went from limited global video and mobile functionality to providing pretty substantial capabilities overnight," says Hanson.
Cargill is now evaluating voice deployment in the United States as the next step in its unified communications strategy. Hanson says a dozen sites are ready to use the full enterprise voice capabilities of Lync Server 2013. "We're going to start at small
sites, where we can quickly show results, and grow from there. We converted our first site in one week and saved about [US]$10,000 on a standard Internet Protocol Telephony installation because Lync is so easy to deploy. Demand for Lync is picking up."
By deploying Lync Server 2013, Cargill has increased employee collaboration, decreased spending, and gained a competitive advantage.
Now, the unit uses Lync to communicate and work as a single business unit. "We are actually operating like a business—like an international, continent-wide business—and we can take advantage of the synergy that daily collaboration capabilities provides us,"
says an employee familiar with the business unit in Africa.
Lower Costs
By retiring older communication solutions, providing a travel offset, adding new tiers of service for video, and simplifying IT management through consolidation, Cargill is returning value to the business. Hanson estimates that conferencing costs alone will
be reduced by nearly 50 percent.
Savings like these also translate into a rapid return on investment (ROI). As just one example, fully adopting the multiparty audio/video experiences that are built into Lync costs about $1.5 million, including IT personnel, consulting, and infrastructure
investments, but all these costs will be recovered quickly. Says Hanson, "We're on track to achieve ROI in less than 12 months. After that, we expect to return a net value of $1 million annually to Cargill business units through this cost offset."
"We want to be the Partner of Choice. That means knowing what our customers need to be successful, being able to listen to them and meet their needs. To do that, you have to be online, ready to connect in whatever way that people want to communicate," says
He concludes, "In our functions that do global commodity and weather risk assessments for trading business units, I've been told that using Lync to engage immediately has made a difference. Seconds and minutes make big money happen within those businesses."

Founded in 1865, Cargill is a global firm with revenues of US$136.7 billion in 2013. It produces and markets food, agricultural, financial, and industrial products and services. It is based in Minneapolis.

Foot Ulcer Treatment Linked to Death from Cancer
Tara Dairman
April 25, 2008
The prescription gel becaplermin (brand name Regranex), which is used to treat foot ulcers and leg ulcers, is being investigated for a possible link to increased cancer risk in people with diabetes.
In a news release last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that "there may be some evidence for an increased risk of death from cancer in patients who had repeated treatments with Regranex." The organization is conducting a safety review of the drug. It is not currently telling doctors to stop prescribing Regranex; instead, it says that the benefits of the drug in helping heal ulcers should be weighed against its risks for each individual patient.
Regranex was approved by the FDA in 1997. In 2001, a long-term study showed a higher rate of cancer in people who used Regranex compared to those who didn't. Now, a new study examining a health insurance database has compared two groups of adults with diabetes, one of which used Regranex and one of which did not. Neither group had a history of cancer, and the two had similar histories of diagnoses, medicine use, and use of health services. Over a five-year period, the researchers found a higher rate of death from all types of cancer in the people who received three or more prescriptions for Regranex compared to those who did not use the drug. Whether there was a higher rate of new cancer development in the people who used Regranex wasn't clear from the data.
Regranex, a gel that is applied directly to foot and leg ulcers that aren't healing, contains a recombinant form of human platelet-derived growth factor. The substance helps heal ulcers by stimulating cells to divide more rapidly; however, this action may also increase cancer risk.
The FDA has asked health-care professionals to report any "serious and unexpected adverse reactions associated with Regranex" to the FDA MedWatch reporting program. Reports can be filed online at www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm, by phone at (800) 332-1088, or by mailing form 3500, found here, to 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD, 20852-9787. The form can also be faxed to (800) FDA-0178.
With all the prescription drug atrocities this past year alone, and the deaths associated, WHO is monitoring the FDA. It seems the FDA is more interested in their conflict of interest side deals, rather than public health. This is just another outrageous oversight by the FDA, among many. When does it end. And why are doctors so willing to believe the hype the drug salesmen spout so readily? Is anyone paying attention before people die. Does anyone care?

FedEx plays an active role in improving life in the communities we serve. Our team members volunteer hundreds of thousands of hours each year to make our local communities better places to live, work and play.
Our team members support causes in their hometowns every day. Whether it is 150 employees in South Florida participating in a beautification project at a local school or two volunteers staffing a clothing drive for Dress for Success in Washington, D.C., our team members are actively involved and committed to addressing the needs of the communities where they work and live.
A part of the FedEx culture, this passion for volunteerism extends across borders and throughout the entire organization. In Korea, for example, volunteers have been in the field helping teach children about pedestrian safety while team members in Canada have participated in a Tower Climb to benefit local organizations. In Germany, our volunteers are involved with Die Tafel Frankfurt, a nonprofit organization that collects food from restaurants, supermarkets and bakeries to donate to people in need. And, in Uruguay, one of our team members led a project that recruited more than 300 volunteers to deliver toys for 700 children.
Each fall, FedEx team members participate in FedEx Cares Week, a weeklong volunteer event that benefits local communities and the United Way. Throughout the week, communities across the country host days of service, allowing more than 3,400 FedEx team members to volunteer their time. Projects range from refurbishing and beautifying local agencies, building playgrounds, and painting child-care centers to sorting and organizing donated food items at local food banks.

These three gentlemen have gotten together to make beautiful music and how! Progressive is definitely the primary vibe from this record, which features some Travis Smith (Death, Fear Factory, James Murphy, etc.) artwork, but that seems to be too limiting of a descriptor. Elements of classical, jazz fusion, rock, Metal, maybe bluegrass (can you say mandolin?), or even country (more cowbell!) are mixed at will and blend seamlessly while pouring through your systems speakers. The tunes are often complex but refrain from the self-aggrandizing wankery that often plagues this genre.
While the guitars fill much of the sound with vitality, vigor, and vim, and the drums are quite intricate, providing a framework of multi-textured sounds that span many genres, it is the bass that really stands out on this record. I am quite familiar with Manrings prowess via Thoñk and Attention Deficit and it is his fretless excellence that drives the music. Some may claim his playing is overkill but the bass often goes unheard and this is a welcome respite. My biggest complaint is one of production or mixing. When Snelwar gets heavy, relatively speaking, his guitar seems too thin, but that is a minor point. This album is easily recommended for fans of Liquid Tension Experiment, Gordian Knot, and those who dont think jazz/fusion is dead.

Six young explorers set out on an epic paddling expedition last week that will take them into some of the more wild and seldom visited regions of Canada. Their route will cover more than 900 miles as they paddle along three remote rivers before eventually reaching the Arctic. Along the way they hope to gather important data for research on the health of the waterways that they will visit along the way.
The team, who are all under the age of 26, consists of Kyle Terry, Ben Woods, Henry Cordeal, Jess Hernandez, Chris Martella and Andrew Hubb. The six men are long time friends who grew up paddling the lakes and rivers in Manitoba and Ontario. That experience will come in handy over the next 70 days, which is how long they estimate it will take for them to cover the 900-mile route to the Arctic.
The long-distance paddle began on Black Lake in Saskatchewan and will next proceed down the Dubawnt River. From there, the team will actually turn onto the Morse River, as they attempt to make the first upstream paddle of that waterway. That stage of the journey will eventually grant them access to the Armark River which will carry them to Queen Maude Gulf, their final destination which falls above the Arctic Circle. Early on, they'll face some difficult portages out of Black Lake, made all the more difficult thanks to the 700-pounds of gear they're taking with them. The young men will also have to find a way to navigate across Lake Dubawnt which often remains frozen even in the middle of summer. In addition to starting in Saskatchewan, the route will also pass through Canada's Northwest Territories and Nunavut, which inspired the name for the adventure – the Tri-Province Arctic Canoe Expedition.
While the team is undertaking this journey in large part simply for the adventure, they also have larger goals in mind. They hope to observe and catalog the wildlife they spot along the way, particularly inside the Queen Maud Gulf Migratory Bird Sanctuary. But perhaps more importantly they will be gathering water samples from the various rivers and lakes they will navigate along the way. Those samples will be turned over to a research program at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks where they will be closely examined to determine how the various processes of the water cycle change the isotopes that make up the water.
You can follow the team's progress on their summer adventure via their Twitter feed and Facebook page, although updates have been sparse thus far. And if you're interested in what you pack for a 900-mile, 70-day journey, check out the team's gear list in this article for the National Geographic Adventure Blog.

Parole Watch 1/07/13
We really don't need these criminals back in the neighborhood…
We are watching a handful of inmates in the prison system who were convicted of Midtown-related offenses. Once incarcerated, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles sets a tentative parole month which we monitor closely for known Midtown-related inmates. Among them are the following (mugshots below):
1. Antonio Martinez Hunt has a tentative parole date set for March for a full sentence running until July. He was arrested last July when a Zone 5 officer patrolling the beat spotted him trespassing on the front porch of a Myrtle Street home, just shamelessly making himself at home on somebody else's property. The officer recognized him immediately since he was among the trans street criminals plaguing the area with their nightly street prostitution, drug activity and other crime. He was even in drag, "dressed for work" when he was intercepted. He was found to have an active warrant, and upon the resulting arrest the officer found a loaded pistol in his possession. He was therefore charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was later convicted for this and sentenced to five years, of which to serve one year with the rest probated.
He had previously been convicted of a number of criminal offenses going into this incident, and had even been in prison once. His involvement with the trans prostitute gang warrants the effort to avert his release, and the fact that he is known to carry a gun as he pursues a life of street crime in our neighborhood compunds his profile even more. Any unnecessary release from prison would negatively affect the overall safety and quality of life in our neighborhood. In light of all this we are pushing for the Parole Board to deny parole to Mr. Hunt, and wish his fellow street prostitutes would take note of his example.
2. Timothy Kozak was convicted in 2008 for several burglaries in the Midtown and Virginia Highland area. He was among the "Three Burglateers" who were arrested in the act in August 2008. Sgt. Cooper was working for us, and was part of the police response. Kozak later admitted to several other burglaries in the area – among them the Camden Midtown Apartments, the Virginia Highland Church and various residential locations in Midtown, Old Fourth Ward and Virginia Highland.
Kozak was sentenced as a recidivist to twenty years, of which he is to serve ten, with the balance of his sentence to be served on probation with conditions including banishment from our area and drug treatment. Going into his 2008 burglary spree, he had a very long criminal history in Georgia and New Jersey, and had served in prison in both states. Kozak has a tentative parole date of January 2014, for a full sentence that runs until 2018. We will decide in the coming months whether to issue a parole opposition statement, but we are thinking that an early release would be a very bad idea. He is currently serving his sentence at Rogers State Prison in Reidsville.
3. Daniel Lee Holt, convicted of a 2011 burglary on Myrtle Street, has a maximum release date of March 2014. The parole board still shows his tentative parole date of "No Decision", but would likely be set for later this year. He is currently serving his sentence at Johnson State Prison in Wrightsville.
4. Michael Blackmon – was convicted for an October 2011 burglary on 6th Street. He was already on parole for trafficking methamphetamines, and a Fulton County judge gave him a sentence to run concurrently with his existing parole-revoked sentence. He maxes out in August 2015, but has a tentative parole date of January 2015. He is currently serving at Autry State Prison in Pelham. Luckily we still have plenty of time to address his case.

2012-01-11 15:19:51 Michelle is great! She cut my hair a few weeks ago and I am still loooving it. I usually hate getting my hair cut because I'm very picky and have a hard time describing what I want (and therefore don't ever get the exact cut I was hoping for). But she did such a great job, I'm probably going to be going back to her for a long time saying, "Just do what you did last time!" <3 —amberelisabethblack

6-Pk. of BloodSport 22 Crossbow Bolts is rated out of 5 by 18.Rated 3 out of 5 by Grouselander from Near miss When the arrows arrived the box was crushed at one end. That is not bloodSport's fault but not having a box that protected the arrows is. The box is too small, and all of the fletches were flattened, even the ones on the end undamaged. Comparing it to other arrow boxes showed that there box was smaller and the foam protectors was less strong. Also the arrow has 2 white fletches and 1 red. White is very easily seen by deer and can give your position away. This should have had 2 red (not seen by deer) and 1 white that can be hidden in the rails of the crossbow. I was disappointment.Date published: 2014-11-10Rated 5 out of 5 by HARRISON from My order was shipped quickly and arrived when it was originally scheduled to. Many thanks for the fine products and pleasant shopping experience.Date published: 2014-06-19Rated 5 out of 5 by JAMES from I haven't had a chance to use them yet, but they are the quality I want for my crossbow.

These bags are adorable and my daughter loved to decorate them for her friends. I was disappointed because the handles broke on almost all of them when the girls picked the up. If the handles were more secure they would be perfect.

Considering that this dish is the Holy Grail of Mama's cooking, I truly debated whether or not to mess with it. It took six attempts to make over this dish, but I finally figured the low-cal version out--and Mama loved it!
1. Place the eggplant on the grate of a gas burner over a high flame. Char the eggplant, turning it every few minutes, until the skin is blackened and the flesh is cooked through; this should take about 12 minutes. (Alternatively, you can char the eggplant on a barbecue grill, on a grill pan, or on a baking sheet under the broiler of a gas or electric oven.) Allow the eggplant to cool slightly, and then cut it in half. Scrape out the flesh, being careful not to incorporate the blackened skin. Measure out ¼ cup of the flesh; reserve the remaining eggplant for another use.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small sauce pot, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat.
3. In a blender, combine the chicken broth, onions, garlic, cooked eggplant, and egg white. Puree until the mixture is smooth. In a large bowl, combine the pureed mixture with the ground turkey, parsley, and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions, a little over 2 ounces each.
4. When the marinara sauce comes to a simmer, roll each portion of the meatball mixture with the palms of your hands to form a ball, and gently drop the meatballs, one by one, into the hot marinara sauce. Shake the pan gently to coat the meatballs with sauce. Cover the pan, and when the sauce begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low. Simmer the meatballs for 12 minutes. Gently turn each meatball over in the marinara sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. While the meatballs are cooking, cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions, about 10 minutes; drain.
6. Divide the spaghetti among 4 plates, and top each plate of pasta with 2 meatballs and some sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 4 tablespoons cheese on top, and serve.

Hannah Stephenson is a poet, editor, and instructor living in Columbus, Ohio. Her poems have appeared recently in The Huffington Post, Contrary, MAYDAY, qarrtsiluni, The Nervous Breakdown, and Fiddleblack. She is the founder of Paging Columbus!, a literary arts monthly event series. You can visit her daily poetry site, The Storialist, at http://www.thestorialist.com
"Here is a poet of clarity and connective grace, full of good will and wily stories alike—funny, neighborly, amused, observant, she's a storyteller with an aphorist's flair for precision. And in In the Kettle, the Shriek she gives testimony to our lives together and our struggles alone, turning at the deepest moments to her highest virtues of sanity and acceptance: 'the things that are going to happen, / let me let them.' This is how Hannah Stephenson makes poetic testimony into a manner of lyric, laic testament."
—David Baker
"In the Kettle, The Shriek is excellent: inquisitive, taut, ironic, tough, smart, sensitive, tensed, ready. Nothing is taken for granted in these poems, not the cosmic or the molecular. Stephenson explores how we hold ourselves together lately, what can be named or called into us, and our relations with the allegedly inanimate. The unpunctuated questions that comprise many of the poems are an essential part of what this poet is up to. Those queries become the glue of this universe, the building blocks of its matter and anti matter, and also a voice of the zeitgeist."
—Amy Gerstler

Spanish party pandemonium
I made a long cast thru the birds and my lure disappeared into the distance. As soon as I felt the lure was touching down, I reeled as fast and furiously as I could. There was the familiar resistance, I raised the rod tip and he was there, shaking his head and taking line.
We were a happy crowd. The Spanish mackerel were running and excitement was in the air. We were a widely mixed group of kids in swimming trunks, old guys that obviously were retired, pretty girls in bikinis, and pretty much every other type of human ever seen on the beach. The rods and reels used were as diverse as the fishermen. There were $400.00 custom rods with $200.00 reels, Wal-Mart specials, bass fishing tackle, and everything in between. When the Spanish run people grab what they have.
We were standing almost shoulder to shoulder, yet there were remarkably few tangles and when there was one, the attitude was that of friendship and common purpose. Even grumpy people get jolly in that kind of action. Lines retrieved at that kind of speed seldom tangle and even when they do it's easy to get them separated.
Fish were coming on both sides of me, colorful flopping Spanish were everywhere along with the shiny bluefish that lurked under the Spanish mackerel and bit when you didn't crank fast enough. It was not a fish every cast, but probably one every three or four. That's enough to keep your adrenaline going and it really made it even more fun in some ways. The fish were not all the same size either. Most were nice keepers, but every once in a while, a 4- or 5-pound fish would come in and the lucky angler's neighbors would congratulate him.
This party lasted for about an hour before it started to taper off, and then, it just stopped. I was so hot and sweaty from the exertion that the end of the bite was almost a relief. I was one of the first to gather up my fish and take them to the cooler. The bite was so intense that I couldn't pull myself away and make a trip to the cooler with every fish. I had to get 3 or 4 before I could pull away long enough to get them on ice. I wanted to keep enough to feed every one back at the beach house because the great thing about Spanish is that they are as good on the table as they are on the line.
These fast little fish are as much a part of July on the Outer Banks as hot dogs and fireworks. In surf fishing situations, people sit or lie around casually with only small percentage of them fishing until the Spanish action starts. When it does, everyone grabs a rod and the party is on. Occasionally a big cobia takes the lure meant for a Spanish mackerel and that can make for real entertainment. On the piers, the anglers watch the water when it clears up, looking for jumping bait or bright flashes reflected off the fish's gleaming body. From boats, the smart Spanish angler hits clear water just off the surf zone early and late.
While the people and the outfits are diverse, the terminal tackle used for Spanish is not. Stingsilvers and the generic versions of them are the rule in the surf. My favorite colors are green and pink combinations or white with a holographic side strip. From the piers, Gotcha Plugs rule and Clark spoons are the weapon of choice for trolling behind boats.
The ideal combo for catching Spanish from the surf is about a 9- or 10-foot light-action rod, a high-speed reel and 10- to 12-pound clear line. Often long casts will get you fish when short ones won't. No swivels or heavy leaders are normally used as the fish have the tendency to strike at the swivel or knot. Spanish are sensitive to line and only bite in clear water, so colored lines will cost you strikes.
From the pier or boat, bass fishing gear works just fine and anything heavier simply waters down the fight. If the fish are really distant, the extra distance provided by a surf rod might make the difference between success and failure.
Spanish are where they can find food. They are apt to show up anywhere on the beach but your best bets to catch them from the surf is structure. One of the most intricate surf structures on the Carolina coast that is readily accessible is the Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout points. There are a lot of watchful eyes there and someone is always fishing. Hence, the best places to catch Spanish from the beach that I have found are the Cape points. On other areas of the beach, just keep one eye on the air for birds and the other on the surface for breaking fish and bait, because it can happen anywhere when the water is clear.
For the pier angler, the Spanish just sweep in and the party is on. Pier anglers have an advantage due to the great elevation of the pier. If they're watching, pier anglers can observe schools of fish and bait coming from some distance. Don't expect to catch Spanish in murky water. They are sight feeders only and rarely are found in anything but crystal clear water.
So this summer when you're on the beach or pier and enjoying the sun, keep an eye on the birds, and have a rod rigged with a Stingsilver or Gotcha handy. You never know when the Spanish will turn a peaceful beach or pier into a scene of happy pandemonium.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I am having two bridal showers (for people who live in two different cities), and this is the invitation my sister/maid-of-honor picked for one of them. I absolutely love the design and the shape. When we were viewing it online, we thought the "marigold" color looked almost baby poo-ish, but it turns out it is actually a really nice yellow/gold color. It is so incredibly classy looking, yet still super fun. I can't wait to mail them out! We ordered the ones with the "bracket" edge, and it was definitely worth the extra money. It makes this already cute and classy invitation even more so!"
"Ordered these for my daughters Bridal Shower. Customized the color to match her wedding theme. The cards were beautiful and contained all the information I needed. I was very pleased with the service and details of the card."
"I am pleasantly surprised how high quality and sophisticated this invite is. The paper is thick and the images clear. This was my first purchase from WPD and I would definitely order from them again."
"We picked this because of the simple yet lovely design and because it seemed that the text would be easiest to read. The proof was completed quickly and the design team caught several errors that we missed. Customer service was extremely helpful and attentive while I navigated the rsvp website. I would absolutely recommend WPD to anyone looking for great quality invitations. I hope I have the opportunity to use their services in the future!!"
"The service was great from this company. They changed my proof in 3 minutes and I got the cards a day early. The bridal shower invite is beautiful and I am sure my bride will be impressed when she gets one."

Why I liked this title:
This is a life that many dream of living, on a tropical island. Eating coconuts and fresh vegetables, going swimming to cool off, and looking at the beautiful stars at night. This is the only life that Nim has ever known. It is important to keep the island unknown to the tourist trade. Her Dad, a scientist, is always recording data and doing experiments. He goes off to study plankton and Nim is left alone on the island with her friends Selkie the sea lion and Fred the iguana. This is a true test of survival when a storm rolls in.

"I love the design. I would have used purple in the outer edge area, if I knew I could. The printed text & line would have been better darker, though I do love the card...very special feeling. Card weight feels very good."
"I have ordered from Tiny Prints before. I like that I can customized my project. The quality and customer service, excellent!"
"Got this with the black background and Pearl White Shimmer Paper. Though the background on screen is solid black, it's actually black with subtle white shimmery flecks because of my paper choice. A very sleek design. Looks and feels great!"
"Having worked for a competitor's company i was skeptical about ordering but needed my business cards to arrive before an event - which Tinyprints' super rush made possible. I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful thickness and soft texture of the card stock that arrived. The digital printing colors are accurate and my custom artwork printed clean and beautifully to the edge of the card. I made it to my event, fresh cards in hand, and will definitely reorder when I need more."
"Overall we are very satisfied with the product, service and delivery time. paper and print quality could be a little bit better."

At the time I knew little about Tai Chi. I'd seen people practicing Tai Chi in parks and on apartment building balconies in Asia on the Travel Channel. But here, on a small indoor stage at the fairgrounds in Crescent City, Del Norters were doing it, too.
I recognized one of the women. She's from Smith River, about my age and definitely not a professional athlete. She glided across the stage with confidence and grace, definitely having fun.

I used to wonder why people were not more friendly, so instead of just wanting/waiting for people to talk to me, I decided to go for it.
Anything from (sincerely) complimenting a persons outfit to chit chatting with someone on the bus or at a store. Almost everyone has been friendly in return. Only ignored two times. Not bad.
I'm going to keep doing this. Missed about 4 days … and on those days I chose to comment on photos from people I didn't know on flickr (better than not doing anything.)

It's not the biggest museum but they pack in a lot of information and you could spend hours in the museum trying to take everything in!
