Why Is The Pool at Sharq Village Doha So Deserted?
Blue sky, palm trees, plenty a deck chair, and a beautiful resort pool. So where is everybody? At Sharq Village, a Ritz-Carlton hotel in Doha, the answer lies in what you can't see: the temperature.
Taken early afternoon, it was pushing 113F (45C), which felt like having a hairdryer on max in your face at all times, and meant no guest was brave enough to lounge in the scorching sun. We certainly weren't, and headed straight to the lovely Six Senses Spa to hide out until the evening cool set in.
"Cool" being a relative term, because even in the middle of the night it didn't drop much below 90F (30C), but the darkness did show the pool in a different light, with the star-filled sky effect adding a nice touch.
A Bed and Breakfast package at Sharq Village starts at 1395QAR ($380) a night, with a number of other offers available.

Dutch Master Marcel Wanders to Design the Mondrian Doha, Opening in 2015 [UPDATED]
UPDATE 8.27.14: As of right now, the design and supervision of the Mondrian Doha is being done by SWA Qatar. Other partners in the project are listed on the signs outside the construction site:
Ray McShane, the general manager for the property also gave HotelChatter this update:
As we are still at construction stage, many of the elements of the design, F&B and services remain fluid and are not finalized, therefore we would like to provide updated information on design, interiors, services etc, only when those elements are 100% committed. The project information board at the site, plus our website, contains all currently available data on the hotel.
As with any new property, we are aware of the interest and hope to be able to share more detailed information on content as the project moves forward with industry sites such as yourselves and we look forward to your support!
So Wanders involvement may or may not be happening. Stay tuned!

Qatari Hospitality At Its Finest: Pick From 5 Boutiques At Souq Waqif
With the 2022 Fifa World Cup on the horizon, Doha has been a hive of hotel activity lately, and one company that seems to be really cashing in is a luxury mini-chain known as Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels. We say 'mini-chain,' but actually this is a small collection of five boutique hotels, all centered around the city's main attraction, Souq Waqif.
Like Dubai's gold and spice souks, Souq Waqif is where tourists (and, allegedly, locals) go to experience the traditional bazaars, shisha cafes and old-style buildings. To get to the hotels, you have to physically walk through the souq, so whether you're stopping to buy a silk scarf or gazing down on the action from your balcony (many of SWBH's rooms look directly onto the souq), the 100-year-old market is likely to play a big role in your experience of the hotel.
All six of the hotels heavily emphasize traditional Arabic decor, with hand-carved wooden furniture, embroidered pillows, Arabic tea sets, and plenty of rich turquoises, maroons, and indigos.
The tricky part, however, is figuring out which of the hotels to stay at. Each claims to be slightly different—Al Mirqab stands out from the pack with its state-of-the-art 980-seat indoor theater, while Al Najada (pictured) was created by joining three traditional Arabic homes.
TripAdvisor guests love the proximity to both the souq and the Museum of Islamic Art, as well as the large bathrooms, rooftop pool, and selection of high-end restaurants (Al Jasra's seafood restaurant seemed to get the best reviews!). Best of all, the hotels are only a 15 minute ride from the Doha Int'l Airport.
As Qatar continues to put itself on world travelers' radars over the next few years, we have a feeling we'll be hearing plenty more about these hotels…
Rates at Al Najada from $343/night.

Westin Runs For Sandy, Sandals Chases Grenada, And Other Hotel News
There's tons of hotel news flying around and we don't have time to give each and every story the love and attention it may deserve, so you will have to settle for some news briefs.
Tomorrow morning Westin Hotels is having a 5K run in New York to celebrate the launch of their exclusive New Balance gear lending program. Both Westin, New Balance associates (and now Top Chef-host, Padma Lakshmi) will run to benefit Soles4Souls, an organization that provides shoes to adults and children around the world. A majority of the donations will support Hurricane Sandy victims. The run starts and ends at the new Westin New York Grand Central where there will also be a Soles4Souls donation station the public can drop off gently used or new footwear throughout the day. After the run, Westin and New Balance will donate more than 15,000 pairs of shoes to Soles4Souls. For more info, visit westinnewbalance.com
Sandals Resorts International has purchased Grenada's all-inclusive LaSource Resort for an undisclosed sum. This is the brand's first property in the country. The hotel will be renamed Sandals LaSource Grenada Resort & Spa, and will add 100 more guest rooms to its current space for a total of 200 private cottages and bungalows. Many of these will be concierge- and butler-level suites, as is common in the Sandals brand, and also the famous octagonal-shaped Rondoval suites. We wonder if Sandals will keep LaSource's former amenity of one free spa treatment a day. Sure it was only a 25-minute teaser, but it was something. A part of us believes they'll be cut, but we've been pleasantly surprised before.

Hotel Missoni is Also Heading to Doha (But What About the U.S?)
Not long after they announced a new hotel in Mauritius, Missoni Hotels has decided to take their dizzying chevron and colorful block patterns to Doha.
Parent hotel company, Rezidor, along with the Al Jassim Group announced that the 220-room hotel will be exclusively designed by Rosita Missoni, the matriarch who founded Missoni along with her husband in 1953. And it looks like the rest of the Missoni signature hotel offerings will also be in place.
The extensive food and beverage outlets will comprise Hotel Missoni's signature restaurant "Cucina" with a traditional yet creative Italian menu, a second all-day-dining restaurant, Bar Missoni, a pool bar and a lobby lounge. The food and beverage offering will be further enhanced by a number of distinguished fine dining restaurants providing a variety of culinary tastes incorporating the luxurious and stylish essence of the Hotel Missoni brand. Guests will benefit from an 800 square meter Spa- and fitness area, an outdoor swimming pool, approximately 1,500 square meter conference- and banquet facilities including ball room, and a business centre.

Herron's new M.F.A. in Photography and Intermedia takes an integrative approach to image-based art making.
It supports students interested in working across medium boundaries to create unique interfaces for public engagement. The program not only concentrates on contemporary photographic practices but also media often associated with photography such as video, sound, performance, installation and interdisciplinary work—possibly outside any traditionally defined art media. By offering a creative and supportive environment, the M.F.A. in Visual Arts with an emphasis in Photography and Intermedia strives to advance image-based artists who want to explore new arenas of art making.
Housed in Herron's Eskenazi Hall, a 163,000 sq. ft. facility that opened in 2005, graduate students in the program will work with our outstanding faculty, facilities and equipment to gain an in-depth understanding of professional studio practices. An emphasis is placed on developing one's own individual creative vision along with exploring a range of professional opportunities such as university teaching, interdisciplinary collaboration and community-based, site-specific initiatives (Public Art). Graduate students at Herron gain mastery in practical strategies for making art as well as an understanding of the theoretical issues and historical context involved in producing art for a 21st century urban context.

Jean Peters (October 15, 1926 – October 13, 2000) was an American actress, known as a star of 20th Century Fox in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and as the second (or possibly third) wife of Howard Hughes. Although possibly best remembered for her siren role in Pickup on South Street (1953), Peters was known for her resistance to being turned into a sex symbol. She preferred to play unglamorous, down-to-earth women.

i am gonna play your full version.
This is a mod for EAW - Forces of Corruption. In this mod you'll find new Units and a total conversed Gameplay. Hundreds of Fighters, SDs and all other Units out of the original EAW - Forces of Corruption. And, if everything works, you'll soon be able to play as Tau'ri against Star Wars factions. (Could still take a while)
Well I could use some help. I'm not able model new Ships. For that I could use some "reinforcements".
Posted by John_N447 on Jun 29th, 2010
Well, if you read this, you're probably interested in helping me.
Things you could do:
-render new Ships
-bringing in new ideas
-bringing in new ships ( also non-StarWars)
Maybe second mod?
-testing before the official release
to find Balancing issues
Think that was it. If you have other ideas, just ask.
If you want to help, just say it.
If you have an awesome idea, which you'd like to see in this awesome game, stay quite.
No, just joking, tell me as crazy as the idea might be. =P
See you all later^^

mod dosn't work, i still play vanilla eaw. i replaced the file as you said. my eaw is german on xp
well, you
Ich spreche mal deutsch, okay?
Also, wenn der Mod richtig installiert wurde, sioeht man das eigentlich NUR an den veränderungen Ingame und der Tatsache, dass man das LucasArts Video überspringen kann.
Ich werde sobald ich kann einen neuen Ladebildschirm machen, damit der Tausch ersichtlicher wird.
If you're speaking English...
Okay. My mod is a modifikation of the Vanilla EAW.
You can see changes ingame only.
One change is that you can SKIP both videos, the Petroglyph AND the LucasArts video when starting the game.

My 1960 Mercury
When I graduated from Grosse Ile High School in Michigan my dad gave me his 1960 Mercury and bought a new Lincoln. One night I got very careless with alcohol and took it to the limit through some curves on Meridian Road on Grosse Ile. Speed and alcohol does not mix. I spent about three weeks in the hospital and have a limited use of my right hand today. I was 18 at the time and 67 now and do not drink a drop of alcohol. I was lucky then and I want to stay luckier now.

Fr. Alberto Cutie Renounces his Catholic Faith and becomes an Episcopalian Comments
'This is truly a setback for ecumenical relations and cooperation between us' said the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Miami Continue Reading
91 - 100 of 104 Comments
5 years ago
We are thrilled to have him part of the Episcopal Church now. God bless him and his future wife
5 years ago
I have personally known--or thought I knew--Albert Cutie for nearly ten years. His actions over the past month--especially those today--prove that he is a hypocrite of the first magnitude. If chucking your faith to go skirt-chasing is his idea of "serving God" the Episcopalians are welcome to him.
5 years ago
Very sad news indeed. I did not foresee this turn of events in the Alberto Cutie scandal.
5 years ago
I hope Fr. Cutie continues to serve God. I pray for him and his fiancee.
5 years ago
This seems to show the depth of his faith, (or lack thereof.) "There is no salvation outside the Church" applies here, because Fr. Cutie is fully aware the Catholic Church was founded by Christ, and yet decided to reject it to follow a man made church. If he does not repent before his death, he loses his salvation! A God fearing Baptist who does not realize the Truth that resides in the Catholic Church, and the fact that it was founded by Christ is in better shape spiritually than Fr. Cutie!
5 years ago
I really admire Father Albert for his service to God for many years. I believe that he made the right move in joining the Episcopalian Church. I am a member of the Roman Catholic but do not agree with many of the rules such as celibacy. Priests are men. I hope that the future will allow for men serving God to be able to marry.
5 years ago
Well, at least it's over-- let's pray he made the correct decision-- the rest of us must keep our eyes on Jesus-- after all it's Him we follow not frail mankind.
5 years ago
Yes, once ordained, a man is always a priest. But the Church has canonical penalties for certain serious transgressions that priests might do. In that case they can be forbidden to exercise their priestly faculties.
5 years ago
Yes, Fr. Cutie is a priest forever. But, it is because he was ordained by a true succesor of the Apostles- a Catholic Bishop. I do not understand why someone who expoused the Theology of The Body would be willing to leave the only ecclesiastical body that publicly espouses the evil of contraception and the complementarity of the sexes. Fr. Cutie says he is just joining another spiritual family. Yet, this family seems to believe in nothing and everything.
This path seems to have been a process. In statements, Fr. Cutie acknowledged the length of his challenges with celibacy. Yet, it appears that the "internal forum" took a soft and merciful approach without reminding Fr. Cutie of the Truth of all the Church's teachings. Somewhere he was given bad guidance and told it was okay to leave the Church. It appears that there was little reflection and prayer by Fr. Cutie-his decision was made up way before he got caught. Otherwise, he simply would have asked to be laicized and not joined an ecclesial community that does not have valid orders. I also am concerned because he and his "fiance" seem to be trying to get around the annulment process as she was reported to be divorced. Again, a deception that marriage is not indissoluble which Fr. Cutie bought into.
However, I will continue to pray for him and know that I need mercy also.
5 years ago
Father Cutie is human. The Catholic Church cannot judge. Father Cutie will have to deal with his own conscience just like every Christian does. And, pray, as we have all been taught, for forgiveness. God is a forgiving God. He is was honest with himself and with God. Isn't that what God wants? God gives us choices and with prayer and supplication, He will show us what is right. I believe Father Cutie is fully aware of that and sought His God for answers.

Created: 02/15/2014 7:20 PM WHEC.com
By: Associated Press
A Florida man has been convicted of three counts of attempted second-degree murder after an argument over loud music outside of a convenience store.
A mistrial was declared Saturday on a first-degree murder charge after the jury couldn't agree on it.
The 12 jurors also found 47-year-old Michael Dunn guilty of shooting into an occupied car.
Dunn was charged with fatally shooting 17-year-old Jordan Davis of Marietta, Ga., in 2012 after they got into an argument over the music that was coming from Davis' parked vehicle.
Dunn fired 10 shots, hitting the vehicle nine times. Also in the vehicle were three friends of Davis.
Dunn claimed he acted in self-defense, testifying that he thought he saw a gun pointed at him from Davis' vehicle.

I stayed in Neptune's Villa for the Christmas and new year full moon party 2013/14. The site was perfect for relaxing after big nights out. It was also perfectly located for people who want the madness of the FMP and want to relax during the day. The food was excellent and the staff we're spot on. I would recommend Neptune Villa's to anyone going to the FMP or Haad Rin. I know I will be booking my accomadation next time I go to the FMP.Read More

Wonderful - smells like orange juice in the bottle but smells sweet and tangy (and not like food) on my skin. It moisturizes well and holds the scent on my skin all day.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – The Mobile County Sheriff's Office said the found crack cocaine, guns and two young children when they raided a home near a school.
Officials said they arrested 25-year-old Brittney Moffett at the home on David Drive. That's off Dauphin Island Parkway, near Pillans Middle School.
Deputies said one of the guns they found was stolen.
Moffett is charged with possession of a controlled substance, third degree receiving stolen property, use/possession of drug paraphernalia, two counts of chemically endangering a child and possession of narcotic paraphernalia.
Investigators said they will ask for a harsher sentence if Moffett is convicted of the crimes, because of how close she lives to the school.

Steve Philbrick, Council Chair, called the meeting to order.
II. Introductions
Introductions were made.
III. Acceptance of Minutes of Previous Meeting
A motion was made by Mr. Thurston and seconded by Mr. Lewis to accept the Council minutes for the last meeting.
Vote: unanimous – minutes accepted.
IV. Rulemaking
A. Step 3
1. Spring Turkey Season
Mr. Connolly stated this was to create a generic framework for the spring turkey season so that we wouldn't have to go through rulemaking each time.
Deputy Commissioner Erskine stated no public comments had been received.
Motion made by Mrs. DeMerchant and seconded by Mr. Witte to accept the proposal as presented.
Vote: Unanimous – motion passed.
B. Step 2
1. Fishing Regulation Changes
Mr. Boland stated 5 public hearings were held around the state and were some of the best and most engaging hearings we had had in years. The Commissioner started a process at the hearings that after public comments had been received, he would open it up to questions and just discussing fish and wildlife in general. That was well received.Mr. Boland stated we received comments not only at the hearings, but a lot in writing. Most of them in favor, but some contentious. In a summary of written comments there were 112 received on about 12 to 15 waters and some comments were based on groups of proposals ie: the effort to eliminate the use of live bait on wild trout ponds that were already closed to ice fishing. We had 24 comments come in on that, all in favor and none opposed.
Mr. Boland discussed proposals that based on some of the comments we were considering modifying. We had some written comments on the Fish River proposal, 8 against and none in favor. That was a proposal up in the Fish River lakes area, the lakes were already a liberal bag and length limit on salmon, 3 fish, 12" because of an over population of salmon. The stream currently had fairly restrictive regulations and Dave Basley wanted to make them consistent with the lake and encourage more harvest in the stream to reduce the population. Mr. Basley proposed to extend the 3 fish, 12" for salmon into the river. We heard support for the concept, but opposition based on the fact that they could then legally catch 3 fish of any size. We did see a lot of correspondence and photos of salmon that would be in the 3 – 6 pound range. We were considering keeping the 3 fish, 12" limit but only allowing 1 fish over 16". We felt that would protect the larger fish, and still encourage the harvest of the smaller 12" – 16"salmon.Bemis Stream is a small trout stream that flows into Mooselookmeguntic. Law enforcement had noticed a concentration of spawning trout below a culvert below a bridge and they were concerned there was undue pressure on the fish in late September. It was already C&R, FFO and there was a proposal to close that after September 15. There had been a lot of discussion and the Department decided there was not enough biological information and scant anecdotal information so we would be pulling that proposal. We would like to work with Dave Boucher's region and possibly launch a study into the wild brook trout population at Mooselookmeguntic Lake. It was discussed at the Rangeley public hearing and a member of the audience commented it would be a good water for us to take a look at.
Little Wilson Pond, the most comments had been received on this proposal. It was a small pond in Turner. There is no public access so no stocking and a population of yellow perch and bass. There was a proposal to open the pond to ice fishing. A lot of opposition from the camp owners and the lake front owners around the water and also some support from area ice fishermen. The Department would like to open it to ice fishing with a 1 year sunset and have the Warden Service and biological staff keep an eye on it and see how things go for year.
Mr. Thurston asked if the Great Ponds Act came into play on that body of water. Were people allowed to go there if they walked?
Mr. Boland stated they could access the water across unimproved property. Most of the discussion was based upon "their private pond".Mr. Witte stated it was a bass and perch pond. The number of people that would fish the pond would be small. There was also the implication at the hearing that ice fishermen were a bunch of criminals.
Commissioner Woodcock stated there had been a lot of discussion around Little Wilson Pond. Discussion seemed to center on an enforcement issue more than it did actually the fishing portion. We decided to take a look at it over a year's time and then make adjustments if necessary. What was expressed about the fishing portion of it actually was for kids. People wanted to be able to take their kids, grandkids there ice fishing.
Mr. Witte stated was there not a petition received from that individual with 125 signatures that were in favor of opening it to ice fishing?
Commissioner Woodcock stated yes.
Mr. Boland discussed the Stanley Brook proposal. It's a brook on Mt. Desert Island where the Department had partnered with the USFWS and UME Orono extension to study sea run brook trout. About 3 years ago we closed it to fishing so that they could undertake the study and pit tags and recorders along the stream to monitor the sea run trout. There was a sunset provision to go back to general law at the end of this past season. Those running the study would like to extend it so that they could continue the study further and we've proposed to extend the closing for one more year.
Mrs. DeMerchant asked if we were going to add a sunset provision.
Mr. Boland stated yes.
Henderson Pond – A little wild trout pond up in Piscataquis County and for a number of years has had a 2 trout limit. The pond had become overpopulated and stunted so the growth was not there. There were some complaints from some that fished the pond and the biologists agreed. The division proposed to go back to 5 fish, 6" which is general law in that area to kind of thin the fish out and stimulate better growth. It was discussed at the hearing and also in writing that we consider the S-20 regulation, 5 fish, 6" but anything over 12" had to be released. We supported that and recommend 5 fish, 6" but nothing over 12".Sourdnahunk Stream – The Enfield regional fisheries staff met with Baxter Park and Sourdnahunk Stream is FFO. There was a small section of it the Park was interested in encouraging more youth participation. Sometimes the campers were not equipped to go fly fishing so they arrived at a recommendation to continue to restrict it to the use of flies, but allow them to use spinning gear to cast flies. There were some comments in opposition to that. We were trying to streamline the law book and make it as simple as we could, and some thought the regulation would be too confusing. We support the effort to encourage youth participation and there are a lot of kids at the campgrounds that have spinning gear so we would recommend to make that section of the stream ALO. The rest of the stream would continue to be FFO.
Mr. Savage stated he wanted to be clear how that worked, casting a fly with a spinning rod.
Mr. Boland stated there was a definition for fly fishing. The only terminal tackle that you could use would be a fly. You could get it out there by any means. You would be able to use a sinker under ALO. The only thing the proposal was going to restrict was the terminal tackle and it had to be a fly. We would like to keep the regulation clean and say this section is ALO and the rest of the stream remains FFO.Cold Stream Pond in Enfield. There were a couple of components to the regulation proposal. One was to rein back the liberal bag and length limits on lake trout which were instituted several year ago to reduce the lake trout population to encourage growth of the salmon and the lake trout. That had been successful, the population had come down and Nels in Enfield would like to reinstitute general law bag limits on lake trout. Also, he has proposed to close the fishing in the fall. It's been open in the fall because the fishery is maintained with stocked salmon and brook trout. There are wild lake trout, but for 2 different reasons we opened it up in the fall several years ago. If we were trying to reduce the lake trout population why would we discourage people from fishing in the fall. We have a policy in the Department where we've got a fishery that's maintained by stocked fish and this is principally salmon and brook trout, that if they're stocked, we're going to keep them open in the fall and let the anglers fish for them in the fall. The regulations are very restrictive and in most cases ALO or FFO, C&R. We had done that essentially statewide in all of our stocked fisheries. We did have some instances of stocked brook trout, stocked salmon but wild lake trout. One is Duck Lake and one is Cold Stream Pond. We know from experience that it's hard to encourage people to go fish for lake trout in the fall. They do not appear to target spawning lake trout as they might spawning brook trout or salmon at the mouth of the stream. We're going to recommend moving ahead with the reining in of the lake trout bag and length limits, but continue to keep the pond open to fall fishing, ALO, C&R in the fall.
Mr. Boland stated we also had a proposal to restrict the storing of live bait in several waters that were the intake waters for our hatcheries. We were very concerned at the hatcheries about the introduction of diseases and also in some cases the introduction of actual fish species that might come down from the lake and get into the filtration systems and sometimes the pool systems. We had a couple of situations of bait dealers that had storage boxes set up in the lake where they were collecting bait species from a large geographic area and the potential was there for a problem. We had taken the step to prohibit the storing of bait in those waters around the state. Did this address the problem fully, no, but it was step in the right direction.Sebago Lake, there were two major components to the proposal. When we went down the road to opening lakes and ponds to fall fishing several years ago we eventually opened all the waters in Region A to fall fishing with restrictive regulations. We kept 3 ponds closed, 2 were little wild trout ponds in York County and the other was Sebago Lake because we were concerned about the wild salmon there and we focused on improving that salmon fishery struggling with the introduction of pike and alewives and the burgeoning lake trout population and we were concerned enough to keep that closed. A couple of years ago Francis Brautigam opened it in the fall in an effort to harvest more togue. Essentially it was successful, but there were a couple areas of the lake where people were fishing for salmon. One of those areas was at the north end of the lake near the mouth of the Songo and that's where the spawning fish in Sebago congregate before they run up the Crooked River. Some years there can be quite a concentration of wild salmon at the mouth of the Songo, and we supported Francis in an effort to protect that area. We had opened the lake up to focus on lake trout and that was not happening at that end of the state. He proposed in an area near the mouth of the Songo to close that to fall fishing only. He had also proposed to close off the basin to fall fishing because there were a number of salmon, predominately stocked fish, they were attracted to the basin in front of the dam and could concentrate and there had been some people fly fishing for them the last couple of years. Mr. Boland stated it was a stocked fishery, and it was the Department's intentions to expand opportunities in stocked fish situations. We were not trying to protect those for spawning purposes. We would recommend that we continue to leave that open in the fall and monitor for problems.
Mr. Boland stated the biggest part of the Sebago proposal was the lake trout. At the Commissioner's direction Francis Brautigam facilitated a focus group that met several times and identified that we should be improving, maintaining and restoring the salmon fishery at all costs. One of the impacts on the salmon fishery is the huge lake trout population in the 16" to 22" range that were feeding on all the smelts and out competing the salmon. Regulations had been liberalized, we had derbies, etc. and yet the population continues to explode. Science tells us that the best way to manage the numbers of small togue is to increase the number of large togue in the system. They will prey on the smaller togue and control them. The focus group and Francis' recommendations were unlimited lake trout under 23" and no minimum size. We received many comments on that regarding catching trophy fish, they weren't going to fish there any more, etc. However, they all did want to do something to protect the salmon. After much discussion and study, we believed a slot was warranted. We were recommending a 23" – 30" slot; you keep all the fish under 23" that you catch, a protective slot of no harvest 23" – 30" and a 1 fish over 30" bag limit.
Council member comments and questions
Mr. Lewis stated he would like to see more regulations like that down his way. The people that complained, were they happy with the 23" – 30"?
Mr. Boland stated they were not aware of it yet, but we thought they would be happy with it. They supported the effort to improve the salmon fishery, they recognized the problem of too many small togue, they supported the unlimited togue under 23". Many were worried if they caught a big togue they'd have to put it back and we didn't want to do anything that would discourage them. We wanted to increase participation. At Francis' last estimation, 94% of the population of fish in that lake were under 23".
Mr. Savage asked if the slot, fish 23" – 30" that we were going to protect, were they capable of eating the fish we wanted to see get eaten?
Mr. Boland stated he thought that predation would occur on smaller fish, 6" – 8" togue so they won't get to be 20" togue.
Mr. Kelly asked in that slot size from 23" – 30" when you say the percentage of fish that are over 30" is so small, what's the likelihood that they will catch one anyway. If they didn't like the proposal and went to 1 fish over 23", would that be detrimental?Mr. Boland stated they did not catch that many over 23" so the chance they'd catch 2 was small. Generally if we allowed 1, probably every 1 would be kept. This way there would be a protective slot where they're not allowed to keep any 23" – 30".
Commissioner Woodcock stated he did not recall any discussion in opposition to the Sebago proposal, nothing over 23". Most was 33", 34" and even one discussed 36" being the maximum. The issue biologically was such a small percentage over 30" that we were just setting a target that people could live with. It was hard for people to return a trophy fish to the water. Also, we had done catch and release for so long, people didn't keep fish anymore. There was also a problem associated with that. You had to keep fish in the smaller range in order to achieve management goals. We've had assurances from guides and others that they would encourage the keeping of those smaller fish. There would also be an educational piece in the new law book.
Dennis Smith stated he was in favor of the proposal Mr. Boland discussed. He fished almost exclusively for lake trout in the winter time and caught a couple over 20 lbs. One had a 14" bass in its stomach. He liked the 23" because once they got over 24" they ate big stuff, suckers, fall fish and they became more difficult to catch. There were many waters in Region C that needed this, Tunk Lake, Beach Hill Pond, Branch Lake, Jordan Pond had the same problem. He hoped the Department would look at the possibility of spreading this further.
Mr. Wheaton stated he thought we were heading down the right road. Those that wanted a trophy fish would get that.
Commissioner Woodcock stated he would like to thank fisheries staff for the work that had been done and their recommendations.
Mr. Thurston stated he had received a call from a NH resident regarding Sebago and the new regulations. He stated that regularly for years they had always run into a biologist on the water to inform them what was going on and they didn't see that anymore. That would be a perfect way to advertise what we were trying to accomplish by having a biologist on the water.
Mr. Savage asked about alewives in Sebago and how they were influencing the togue and salmon population.
Mr. Boland stated we did not know yet, but it would have a major play. Northern pike were escalating in numbers there. We were concerned at Sebago, other lakes had shown a tendency for large pike feeding on salmon. The landlocked alewives that had been introduced recently had taken hold faster than we thought. A lot of the lake trout in one part of the lake last winter were gorged on them. If they continue that swing, the two impacts we've seen in other parts of the state is they do have a pretty dramatic impact on the smelt population and they also are boom or bust. In periods of boom with alewives you'll see good growth on bass, pickerel, pike, everything, but the bottom will drop out and we've seen lakes that have never recovered. It will pose huge management problems.
Mr. Kelly asked how we were approaching the packet of proposals as far as individual waters vs. the packet. In his area there were certain ponds where he didn't understand why we were putting a ruling on it ie: Togue Pond. We were proposing to change that to no live fish as bait. It was not an ice fishing pond, but the fishery was togue and salmon. There were brook trout in it, but people went there to fish for togue and salmon.
Mr. Boland stated he was guessing Togue Pond was one of the 40 waters that were considered a wild brook trout water on the B list; closed to ice fishing and in an effort to protect our wild brook trout resources around the state (we have about 300 waters on the B list and another 300 waters on the A or native list which already have imposed live bait restrictions). On the B waters we decided to take the waters already closed to ice fishing recognizing that the introduction of live bait is an issue, and in waters that are only open to open water fishing there were very few people that recognized the restriction on live bait in the summertime as being a real issue. We have a lot of waters around the state where you could use a dead shiner or a worm. We didn't want live bait on the pond because of the introduction into a wild trout fishery.
Mr. Kelly stated that pond, they fished with live bait and had their live bait traps right in the pond. Were restrictions being placed on all water bodies in the water shed?
Mr. Boland stated we might be restricting the use of live bait in this pond that has a wild trout fishery and upstream of it there's another pond that doesn't have a wild trout fishery that they can use live bait. We understood there were issues like that. This was a step in the direction the Department was taking to protect the wild trout resources. When introductions of other bait species or fish species happened it was irreversible.
Mr. Kelly asked what the final solution was.
Mr. Boland stated we had a wild brook trout working group and planned to hire a biologist that would focus efforts on brook trout and salmon. We would be working toward a solution where we had a buy in from the public and anglers to protect the resource.
Mr. Kelly stated on waters like Big Brook Lake he understood because that's what was in there was brook trout. But even that water there were muskies in the Allagash River that could come upstream into the pond.
Mr. Boland stated if we were going to address the bigger problem of all the potential issues that face maintaining and providing a good wild trout fishery, it would be an exhaustive effort and it would be almost impossible to address in one step.
Mr. Lewis asked if this was also an effort to streamline the law book.
Mr. Boland stated yes. We would like to be able to have the focus group also take a look at further streamlining the law book.
Mr. Wheaton asked when it came time to vote on the packet would they be able to vote on waters individually or as a whole package.
Mr. Philbrick stated what had been done in the past was, the Council had had the packet for the last 3 meetings and gone through the public hearing process. The next step would be to take the packet as a whole with the recommendations that had been submitted to them by the Department.
Mrs. DeMerchant asked from a rulemaking perspective, if changes were made to what was proposed did we have to open it up for public comment again?
Deputy Commissioner Erskine stated not as long as it was consistent with what was proposed.
Mrs. DeMerchant stated she was all set with the changes the Department had proposed.
Mr. Thurston stated the brook trout thing had a lot of support. He thought we were going in a good direction. We were trying to market the resource and protect the resource.
Mr. Kelly stated would it have been a better idea to just affect the waters we knew the no live fish as bait would help because they were cut off by any other source. Why were we going to institute a new rule on a body of water that new rule was not going to help because of the streams, etc. If Togue Pond was only one pond in that whole system that they togue and salmon fished we were taking one of the methods away. He didn't understand putting a new letter next to the pond for no benefit.
Mr. Philbrick asked Mr. Kelly if he had specific questions on rulemaking changes that were in the packet regards to areas rather than general statements.
Mr. Kelly stated Togue Pond. Overall, just pick the waters that it would benefit. If you're not picking waters that rule was going to benefit you were putting it on waters that were interconnected with other systems that were already using live bait. If our goal was not to close the whole system down to live fish as bait, there was no need of putting the rule on that water; it was not going to help. We should have identified head waters and gone from there.
Mr. Witte stated he really didn't have any comments other than he thought we'd addressed the major issues.Mr. Lewis stated he liked the regulations. The Stanley Brook one was a big thing, but mostly he had heard that people were worried the Park was going to take away one more resource from them. A one year closing was fine.
Mr. Wheaton stated Stanley Brook was one he looked at. At the public hearing there were some that wanted it opened to fishing. He talked to the biologist and it did go through the two year closure, expecting it would reopen. If the Feds wanted it to stay closed for more study, why were they not at the hearings? He would go along with it being closed for one more year. West Grand Lake had 2 issues; smelting, they wanted to close it to smelting hook and line and dip netting. He had two people against it, all other calls were in favor. He thought it was a great thing, we had to protect the salmon fishery. The other issue was going from an 8 whitefish limit on West Grand to a 3 whitefish limit. If that were going to move forward he would like to see the biology to understand why the drop to 3. With no dipping of smelts and cutting whitefish to 3 we might mess with the population and cause turmoil in that lake. He would suggest leaving the whitefish limit at 8. If we were trying to even the book so that it was 3 statewide, why on East Grand was it 8 whitefish also. The flowage, it was the first time our biologists and the Indian biologist had worked together. He was 100% for catch and release there. Butcher Lake he was 100% for the closure. The only regulation he was really against was the going from 8 whitefish to 3.
Mr. Savage stated he did not see a lot affecting York County in the packet, nor had he heard any feedback. He was in favor of the protection of the wild brook trout.
Mr. Philbrick stated he was glad we were pulling the Bemis Stream proposal. Next year he would like the packet to get to the Council sooner than it did this year.
Mr. Kelly stated he did not want his comments to be taken the wrong way. He was in favor of protecting native brook trout.
C. Step 1
There were no agenda items under Step 1.
V. Other Business
Mr. Witte stated the deer baiting issue, he would like to have that on the agenda. He had gotten several calls. In working with the wardens he knew that it was about 40% of the time spent prior to and during deer season to investigate deer baiting complaints to get in the woods. He had received calls with people asking the difference between a food plot and bait. We could bait coyotes, bear, etc. He knew in other states they did allow natural baiting for deer. He would like to hear the pros and cons from the Department regarding natural deer baiting. He would like to hear from the Warden Service if they could break down the percentage of time spent doing this.
Mrs. DeMerchant asked Mr. Witte what his definition was of "natural."
Mr. Witte stated there were artificial things you could buy like blocks that had syrup in them, bags of deer food and things like that. Other states that had done it, apples, acorns, what they would find naturally in that specific area. Not to go into Paris Farmers Union or Agway and buy a bag of stuff that's all prepared.
Mrs. DeMerchant stated so if a hunter took some corn or apples and threw that somewhere and was hunting over it, that's your definition of natural?
Mr. Witte stated most of the other states that did allow baiting did not allow salt. Salt was natural but a tremendous attractant. He had been talking with wardens about it and in his area there was a pretty high degree of it.
Mr. Kelly discussed someone that received a ticket for baiting deer. The person was in an apple orchard, but where his tree stand was they had eaten all the apples. Up by the road there were apples he could see so he moved them and was caught for baiting.
Mr. Philbrick stated it should be an agenda item to get some closure.
VI. Councilor Reports
Councilors gave reports.
VII. Public Comments & Questions
Kevin O'Brien stated he wanted to commend the Department on changing the timing of the rulemaking process for the fishing regulation proposals so that Step 2 came after the public hearings. This gave a chance for the Council to hear what they had to say before making a decision.
Fern Bosse stated there was one thing challenging us and it involved Sebago, Aziscohos and Mooselook regarding the natural reproduction of salmon. People have it instilled in them to catch and release fish. The law had been changed on Mooselook for 6 years and he thought this would be the 3rd year on Aziscohos the minimum length was dropped to 12". People felt a keeper was 14". At a couple of the meetings it was mentioned that we could educate the people by putting posters up. It was not working on the other two lakes. Aziscohos was ridiculous and he didn't know how we were going to educate the people to keep the small fish.
Mr. Philbrick discussed a fishing weekend that was advertised for Mooselook which helped get the word out.
Mr. Boland stated the new law book was a great opportunity to get a message across to each and every angler.
Dennis Smith stated he had a couple comments on smelts. He was on the Advisory Council in 1977 and he was an advocate proponent of restricting the taking of smelt through dipping, etc. and he had yet to see any positive advantages because of that. All the waters that he was involved with or that were closed around that time, actually the fishing was poorer now without exception it had made zero difference restricting of dipping smelts. Nels Kramer on Schoodic Lake in Brownville, he's got smelts there you can't see bottom at times. It's far more complicated. He had not seen any benefits derived from those closures.
VIII. Agenda Items & Schedule Date for Next Meeting
The next meeting was scheduled for December 14, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. at IF&W in Augusta. (This was later changed to IF&W in Bangor at 1:00pm)
IX. Adjournment
A motion was made by Mr. Thurston and that was seconded by Mr. Kelly to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 p.m.

Southern Coal Gets AEP Contract, Recalls Workers
ROANOKE, Va. (AP) â¿¿ Southern Coal Corp. is recalling several hundred laid-off miners in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia and plans to hire 650 new workers.
Roanoke-based Southern Coal announced Tuesday that it has entered into a multiyear contract to supply coal to American Electric Power. The contract will allow it to restart mines idled earlier this year and to save 500 jobs.
Southern Coal is owned by the Justice family, which includes Jim Justice, who also owns The Greenbrier resort. He and his son Jay Justice said in a statement that they hope the announcement makes the holidays "a little better" for those affected.
Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin say the AEP contract is good news for the workers and their states' economies.

China surprised investors by raising interest rates Tuesday, sparking a world-wide sell-off in stocks, commodities and emerging-markets currencies as investors lowered their expectations for Chinese growth, which has been seen as a key driver of the global economy.
China's central bank announced it would raise key rates by a quarter percentage point, the first move since it cut rates in December 2008. While many investors had been expecting China to raise interest rates in coming months, the timing of the move was unexpected. It is viewed as the first in a series of interest rate increases.
China's central bank will raise its benchmark deposit and lending rates by 0.25 percentage point, its first increase since 2007. David Wessel, Neal Lipschutz and Bob O'Brien discuss. Also, John Bussey says if the GOP secures the House in November, some Republicans are aiming to secure concrete legislation, even if it results from compromise with Democrats.
U.S. stocks fell broadly after soured-mortgage concerns added to the impact of China's sudden rate hike. David Weidner, Paul Vigna and Bob O'Brien discuss.
Currency markets, where exchange rates reflect bets by investors scouring the globe for the highest returns, reacted swiftly. On the assumption that China's rate boost will damp its economy, investors removed some bets on the currencies of other surging markets, and money flowed back to the U.S. dollar. Australia, seen as closely linked to Chinese growth, saw its currency fall 2.6% against the dollar. The U.S. dollar rose 1.8% against the Canadian dollar and 0.6% against the Brazilian real.
Investors were split on the impact China's move will have on currency diplomacy. Tensions have been building as a result of the money flooding into emerging markets, driving up the currencies of countries such as Brazil and South Korea against the dollar.
Because China effectively pegs the yuan to the dollar, exporters in those countries have been losing competitiveness against China, their chief rival in the global markets. In response, many governments have been pushing back against the tide of money boosting their currencies.

- China's Rate Move Hits Markets
- World Bank Makes Case for Stronger Yuan
- Yuan Bond Sale Sees Strong Demand
Those issues were front and center Tuesday.
Brazil raised the tax on foreign investment in Brazilian bonds. And in Seoul, the South Korean finance minister said the government was considering reinstating a withholding tax on foreign investors' holdings in some Korean securities.
The impact of China's rate rise was also felt in the commodity markets, where Chinese demand plays a significant role in setting prices.
Oil prices suffered their biggest decline in eight months, losing more than 4% to $79.49. Gold, which set a record high last week, fell $36.10 per troy ounce, or 2.63% to $1335.10.
Stocks, too, took a hit, although the sell-off in the U.S. was also fueled by renewed concerns about the impact that home loan foreclosure problems will have on banks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.5% to close at 10978.62.
Traders say the market swings were likely magnified by the fact that China's move caught many investors off guard. The People's Bank of China said Tuesday that it increased the benchmark one-year interest rates on loans and deposits by a quarter of a percentage point each. The last time it raised interest rates was in 2007.
China's central bank, as usual, didn't elaborate on the reasons for its interest-rate move, which came two days before key economic data for September and the third quarter are due.
"They are starting to see signs that growth is picking up … and now is the time to begin cautious tightening," said Daniel Katzive, a director in the currency strategy research team at Credit Suisse.
Some investors interpreted China's rate move as a sign the country might rein in a steady but gradual appreciation of its currency against the dollar seen recently. That's in part because a rising currency, like higher interest rates, serves as a brake on inflation—thus a rate increase means it wouldn't need to allow the currency to rise as quickly.
Following the rate news Tuesday, pricing on derivatives known as nondeliverable forwards reflected expectations of an increase in the yuan of 3% over the next twelve months. On Monday, investors had been betting on a nearly 4% appreciation.
However, economists believe stubbornly high housing prices were one of the main drivers for Tuesday's move, and that raising interest rates is a more direct way to attack that problem than through the currency markets.
China's interest-rate move marks a shift in strategy by authorities. Until now, they had been relying on administrative controls such as limits on bank lending and changes in required mortgage down-payments to modulate growth. "Today's decision to hike rates suggests that Beijing feels these earlier, more targeted measures are no longer enough to keep the economy on an even keel," said Royal Bank of Canada economist Brian Jackson
Since late August, investors have been adding to their bets on emerging markets, especially Asian developing nations. Fueling that wager: expectations that the Federal Reserve will soon pump at least $500 billion into the U.S. financial system in an effort to boost the struggling American economy. Some of that money is expected to find its way to emerging markets, which offer higher yields and prospects for asset-price growth. That effort was also seen as devaluing the U.S. dollar.
Tuesday's increase is a classic central bank move - a small adjustment to pre-empt problems with too-fast lending and inflation. Investors should cheer the fact that it's confident enough in its economy to tap on the brakes. Dow Jones Newswires' Mark Cranfield reports.
In Japan, where the yen has risen sharply against the dollar in recent months, the country's finance minister Tuesday expressed renewed concerns over its strength, declaring the government's readiness to intervene in the currency market and urging global leaders to work together to stabilize exchange rates. The Japanese government downgraded its view on the economy for the first time in more than a year and a half.
Also Tuesday, Canada's central bank halted a string of interest-rate hikes it started in June, warning that international currency tensions could hamper global recovery and forecasting slower growth than it had projected just a few months ago.
Although the broader reaction in the financial markets suggested a scaling back of expectations about China's growth prospects, another interpretation was that it's actually good news for the global economy.
"Generally we see this as a broadly positive development, that policy makers are more confident of the economic trends," said Manik Narain, emerging markets strategist at UBS in London. "All in all, this is China coming from a position of strength," he said.

Find the best Guttering in Telford and Wrekin as recommended by local Telford and Wrekin people in thebestof Telford and Wrekin's Guttering directory.
Spotlight On...
S.D.Luke supply and fit seamless aluminium guttering in Telford that will transform your roofline and provide you with improved rainwater protection. No gaps, no leaks and maintenance free - once you've had seamless aluminium guttering fitted, you can forget about your gutters.
Keith J said
SD Luke replaced my entire roofline - fascia, soffits and guttering. The old stuff was poor quality and had been badly fitted allowing the roof felt to 'drop' and allow water access which was causing us problems around the property. Spencer was the only one who identified what the problem was (two other roofers and a surveyor all failed to understand what was causing the leaks) and he explained clearly what needed doing to fix it. We decided to go for the seamless alumium guttering - it's more expensive but with a long guarantee and it looks really smart. Spencer and Ashley worked extremely hard and did 12 hour days to get the job completed as quickly as possible. They were a pleasure to have around and were no bother. The finished result not only looks fabulous but has given us peace of mind that this time, we've done the job properly. We've also had lots of comments from neighbours about how good a job they've done and how good it looks now. So - just waiting for the first proper rain to 'test' the new seamless aluminium guttering - fingers crossed. Perhaps we'll sort out the windows and doors next. Spence and Ash are also pretty good at those from what I've heard. Thanks to SD Luke for a fantastic, professional and value-for-money piece of work.

text: F1 boss says 2010 rules cannot change 17 March, 2010 Bernie Ecclestone Mar.17 (GMM) Bernie Ecclestone says formula one must for now live with its current set of rules. After the processional Bahrain grand prix, there has been widespread criticism of the current rulebook and calls for immediate changes. The F1 chief executive has himself proposed that external engineers in future pen the regulations, and is also pushing his bizarre proposal for circuit 'short cuts'. And he told the Telegraph: "Some might wonder why the teams have options on tyres at all. "Maybe if we only gave them a soft compound they would have to stop twice but I am not sure that they will vote unanimously for the mandatory two-stop race which Red Bull proposed," said the 79-year-old. Reinstating refuelling is also now impractical due to the designs of the 2010 cars, leading Ecclestone to admit that the rules for now are set in stone. "We cannot change the rules," the Briton told Germany's Bild Zeitung. "It would take far too long and it's too difficult. F1 is now a democracy. And all the teams voted for these rules, so now they must also deal with them," added Ecclestone. Tweet http://www.last.fm/group/Formula+1 Bec Brilliant idea, Bernie hits the target again … An external body to make the rules is a stroke of genius. FOTA are shackled to their teams interests, the FIA are not the fan's favourites, and as with bringing in ex-races to steward races, and external rule making body ticks all the right boxes. This is a must. http://www.last.fm/group/Formula+1 Bec An external body to oversee the rules is a brilliant idea, and one that should have been adopted years ago. We can all see that the more FOTA get involved with the rules, the less on track action and overtaking there is. This proposal should be put in place as soon as possible.
