MSI dominates 3DMark 11 Performance
In the highly competitive world of extreme performance, MSI has once again grabbed the reigns with its Z77 MPOWER and R7970 Lightning Graphics card. Inspired by the availability of the MSI Z77 MPOWER several professional overclockers have started challenging the top scores in 3DMark 11. With the synergy of the MSI Z77 MPOWER mainboards and MSI Lightning series graphics cards, some incredible new scores have been set including the first single graphics card system to break 18000 marks in the 3DMark 11 Performance benchmark by Ukraine's T0lsty.
Z77 MPOWER baseline for performance
Contrary to popular belief, MSI mainboards that are most represented with professional overclockers in these benchmarks where the highest efficiency is demanded from the platform. This is the result of feedback over the past year of professional overclockers and which now translates itself in a situation where the Z77 MPOWER is the go-to mainboard for overclockers. The latest world record by T0lsty is the highest CPU speed for any 3rd generation Intel Core CPU in 3DMark 11 @ 6213 MHz (validation).
Lightning: Unprecedented leadership
MSI's Lightning series graphics cards are built from with the purpose of amazing performance, with great components and overclockers' desired features. This is best demonstrated by the fact that almost every single overclocker prefers an MSI Lightning graphics card for their record breaking attempt. As a fact: 90% of the 20 highest scores in the single card 3DMark 11 Performance rankings are set with an MSI Lightning graphics card. T0lsty's R7970 Lightning was able to reach a core speed of 1760 MHz and 8 GHz memory!
The complete top-20 can be viewed here.
Champion: MSI Z77 MPOWER
The Z77 MPOWER shocked the overclocking world as a mainboard that offers 24/7 stability for gamers and offers a down-to-earth approach to overclocking 2nd and 3rd generation Intel Core processors. Currently the MSI Z77 MPOWER powers three out of the five highest scores in 3DMark 11 Performance. Powered by Military Class III components the MSI Z77 MPOWER proves its stability not only during the "OC Certified" testing but also under the extreme circumstances of extreme overclocking.
Champion: MSI R7970 Lightning
MSI's R7970 Lightning continues the Lightning legacy and is this year's most favorite graphics card for overclockers. With 17 out of the top-20 scores in 3DMark 11 Performance set with the R7970 Lightning, it is clear what is the card to get if you want to set amazing scores yourself.
Built with Military Class III components the MSI Lightning graphics cards deliver the best performance and stability, no matter if you're a gamer or extreme overclocker.

No, I do not understand the name of this list either. I remember I was going to write something like "Cute-Tech" for, of course, cute Technology, but then I realized it sounded like "Q-Tip" which everyone knows is the brand name of a cotton-swab on a stick... but I digress. I can tell you, however, the nature of this list: that these are technology-related items that I think are remarkable in function or design.

In comments to the Review Group, Carnegie Mellon University's Jon Peha recommended a re-evaluation of those practices that weaken commercial products and services. These practices include weakening standards and placing "back doors" into products that are accessible to U.S. government agencies.
Peha, a professor of engineering and public policy and former chief technology officer of the FCC and assistant director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology, said deliberately weakening commercial products and services may make it easier for U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct surveillance, but "this strategy also inevitably makes it easier for criminals, terrorists and foreign powers to infiltrate these systems for their own purposes." Peha pointed out that cybersecurity vulnerabilities created to eavesdrop on terrorists could have vast unintended consequences.
"If we can weaken the standard for a general-purpose encryption algorithm, then it is impossible to predict what will become vulnerable. Perhaps this algorithm will be used to protect stock market transactions, or the real-time control of an electric power grid, or the classified designs of a military aircraft, which would then become vulnerable," Peha said.
While some argue that these policies sacrifice privacy to improve national security, Peha says such policies "may have actually compromised both privacy and security in a failed attempt to improve security."
"Policies that deliberately weaken the security of U.S. products and services will affect U.S. competitiveness," Peha said. "Customers will naturally prefer products and services from companies that they believe are immune from such a policy."
Peha argues that the solution is for the NSA to apply a "comprehensive approach to assessing risks associated with these practices," which includes "protecting individual Americans from cyberattacks that lead to credit card fraud, protecting companies from cyberattacks that lead to theft of intellectual property, and protecting the competitiveness of U.S. information technology firms in the global marketplace."
"A risk assessment that only considers NSA's ability to conduct surveillance would inevitably lead to practices that weaken the security of commercial products and services even when doing so is harmful to American interests," he said.

Stage IIIA anal cancer presents clinically as stage II in most instances and is determined to be IIIA by clinically evident perirectal nodal disease or adjacent organ involvement. Endorectal or endoanal ultrasound may aid in pretreatment staging.
Standard treatment options:
Understanding Colon Cancer -- Diagnosis and Treatment
Beginning at the age of 50, everyone should be screened regularly for colorectal cancer (earlier screening is recommended for some high-risk groups). There are several options. The traditional screening routine was for the doctor to perform a digital rectal exam once a year and for you to collect three stool samples to be tested for traces of blood. Also, every three to five years you would receive a sigmoidoscopy and a double-contrast barium enema to look at the lower part of the bowel. If anything...
Read the Understanding Colon Cancer -- Diagnosis and Treatment article > >
- As shown in the RTOG-8314 trial, treatment used is the same as for stage I and II disease, including the use of radiation therapy plus chemotherapy.[1,2]
- Radical resection is reserved for continued residual or recurrent cancer in the anal canal after nonoperative therapy.
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage IIIA anal cancer. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

Merck Adds HCV Candidates with Idenix Buy
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Merck (MRK - Get Report) is making an all-cash $3.85 billion tender offer for Cambridge, Mass.-based Idenix Pharmaceuticals (IDIX), in a strategic bid to strengthen Merck's hepatitis C drug program.
Roger Perlmutter, president, Merck Research Laboratories, laid out the strategic basis for the deal in a nutshell: "Idenix has established a promising portfolio of hepatitis C candidates based on its expertise in nucleoside/nucleotide chemistry and prodrug technologies. Idenix's investigational hepatitis C candidates complement our promising therapies in development and will help advance our work to develop a highly effective, once-daily, all-oral, ribavirin-free, pan-genotypic regimen that has duration of treatment as short as possible for millions of patients in need around the world."
The deal, announced Monday and already approved by the boards of Merck and Idenix, must pass muster with regulatory authorities and is expected to close in the third quarter.
Merck said it projects the HCV market to top $20 billion by 2018, based on data from research group EvaluatePharma.
Merck will pay $24.50 in cash per share of Idenix stock. The announcement made for quite a pop in Idenix shares. They ended trading Friday at $7.23 and prices soared nearly 232%, trading at $24 in New York Monday morning. Idenix specializes in developing nucleosides and nucleotides, or nucs. It claims a large patent estate in those compounds. "Nucs are scarce and thus perhaps quite valuable" noted ISI Group biotechnology/pharma analyst Mark Schoenebaum. "Part of Merck's purchase price almost certainly applied some kind of value to Idenix's patent portfolio," he wrote in a same-day note. Gilead's newly approved $1,000-a-pill HCV treatment Sovalidi (sofosbuvir) is a nucleotide analog. Idenix has three HCV drug candidates in clinical development, with the most important to Merck being IDX21437, a nucleotide prodrug. The triad includes another nucleotide prodrug, IDX21459, and an NS5a inhibitor. HCV is an emerging epidemic, affecting 130 million to 150 million individuals across the globe, according to the World Health Organization. In the U.S., the number affected is around 3 million to 4 million. As many as half a million die each year from the disease. Because the virus can be silent for decades, a large percentage of those infected do not know they are. Credit Suisse AG provided financial advice to Merck. The buyer turned to a team at Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP for legal advice led by James Modlin, David Schwartz, Andrew Braiterman, Alexander Anderson, Sarah Downie, Ethan Litwin, William Kolasky, Alain Vincent, Nadine Voisin, Stefan Naumann, counsel Cyrille Gaucher and associates Julie Thorston, Justin Greenbaum, Christine Lamsvelt and Erin deCecchis. Idenix used Centerview Partners for financial advice and Sullivan & Cromwell LLP for legal advice. The Sullivan & Cromwell team included Frank Aquila, Krishna Veeraraghavan, Ronald Creamer Jr., Matthew Friestedt, Nader Mousavi, special counsel Spencer Simon and associates Brenden Rowook Park, Mark Campbell, Julia Kim, Jeffrey Arbeil, Jeannett Braun and Jennifer Yoon.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Runway, your way: How to wear summer's colorful graphic prints
Posted By Lesley Kennedy On July 29, 2014 @ 6:02 pm In Mile High Style,Shopping,Spring,Summer,Women's Fashion | No Comments
Wonder how to work catwalk cool into your own closet? Here's how to translate the trends for real life.
Bored of black? Too clumsy to wear white? Over the 50 shades of gray? No problem: Summer fashions are beckoning, with bold, colorful graphic prints that will inject some serious whimsy into your wardrobe.
From the multi-colored, different-sized stripes at Alberta Ferretti to the pretty butterfly prints at Vanessa Bruno to tropical patterns at Hermes to the marble effect used at 3.1 Phillip Lim, the spring/summer 2014 runways were full of fun patterns.
And, while most us are not daring enough to dress head-to-toe in a look-at-me graphic design, there are plenty of ways to incorporate the trend this season.
Here are nine looks to brighten up your closet – and your day.
THE RUNWAY: Mara Hoffman, spring 2014
Somewhere, over the rainbow, is this super sunny sheer dress with a just plain gorgeous ROY G. BIV design. A little much off the runway? Perhaps. But it feels like a pot of fashion gold.
Stress your dress: If you don't shy from a bold print, go for a graphic dress. It's easy – but a lot of look – so be sure to keep everything else spare. Minimal jewelry, neutral shoes, simple hair and makeup. Your dress is doing all the talking.

Pick one piece to showcase: When too much pattern makes you nervous, stick with one piece – like a wild skirt paired with a white blouse. Or a crazy top worn with jeans. You still show off the trend, but it's not quite so in your face.

Choose one stunning accessory: If you never, ever, stray from your usual all-black outfit, work in the graphic print trend with everything from shoes to scarves to your iPhone cover.

There was no vacation in prospect for Leon. He left the committee room with the same powers over prices he had when he entered: none at all except those he could exercise through OPM's priorities section. But prices were still shooting up and it was still his...

Islam and Arabic Language
The Qur'an of Muhammed, the central core of Islam, is the Arabic Qur'an. Not only is the book a compilation of the speech of God, it is a compilation of of the speech of God
in Arabic
. This speech is in Islamic tradition considered inimitable; any paraphrase of that speech would change the meaning and dignity of that speech. And any translation into any other language would also hopelessly change the meaning of the sacred text. The language of the Qur'an is known in the Western world as "classical Arabic"; among Islamic believers, however, it is known as

cannot be translated into other languages, all recitations of the sacred text are done in the original Arabic. It does not matter if the believer is Arabic, Malaysian, Chinese, or Russian; it is incumbent on them to perform their recitations from the original text. Since recitation of the
is a fundamental component of prayer (
), it is fair to say that almost all Muslims are united by the common knowledge of this one language.
The nature and status of
in the Islamic tradition is difficult for most Westerners to grasp. In the European Christian tradition, the primary text of the religion has been freely translated. While Jesus of Nazareth probably spoke in Aramaic, the text of his sayings has only been known in the European tradition in Greek—:a substantially different language. This text has then been translated into Latin and eventually into every other European language. The original text, the words spoken by Jesus of Nazareth, are irreperably lost.
Islam, however, can claim to have the very words that Muhammad spoke; these words, in turn, for a believer are the same words spoken to Muhammad by God through the angel Gabriel. In other words, when a Muslim opens the text of the
he or she is reading the very words that God spoke. This gives the language of the
a sacred character in the tradition of Islam.
Classical Arabic, like its modern descendants (Levantine Arabic, Palatine Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, and so on), is a Semitic language—the same language family that includes Hebrew, the languages of Mesopotamia (with the exception of Sumerian), and other partly Semitic languages, such as Ethiopian. It shares many of the same characteristics of Hebrew and other Semitic languages. However, despite these similarities, Classical Arabic is a highly unique language among Semitic languages.
For lack of a better term, you might say that Arabiyya is primitive language. It seems to be a less modern language than even the languages of ancient Mesopotamia—considering that the ancient Mesopotamian writings precede the
by at least 2500 years, that's pretty amazing. The reason Arabic didn't change drastically from its most primitive forms is that Arabic society tended to remain centered in small groups. It is a linguistic truth that languages that are spoken only by small groups change very little; languages that are spoken by large groups—especially when foreign speakers are constantly entering that society—change fairly quickly and often drastically.
Why point this out? Roughly speaking, you can consider languages as either based on concepts or based on roots. Almost all languages base meaning primarily on concepts. For instance, in English the word "act" means what it means because we associate it with a concept or a set of concepts. Learning English—or any other European language—involves learning to associate arbitrary concepts with certain words. In a root language, words mean what they mean because they are built off of other words; these base words are called
. Now, while most languages are concept languages, some words have meaning only because they're built off of other words. In English, for instance, if you learn what the word "act" means, you should have no problem when you hear the word "actor"—you use the root to understand the word built off of the root.
Classical Arabic as one of the most primitive Semitic languages is primarily a root language. Almost every word gets its meaning from the roots it is built off of rather than by associating a concept with the word. This gives Arabic an almost crystal clear aspect to it; there is little ambiguity or confusion in an classical Arabic sentence. The language is one of clarity, directness, and certainty—qualities that are hard to achieve in other languages.
The Arabs were largely illiterate until slightly before the Islamic period. The alphabet that was invented for Arabic was a cursive alphabet drawn from other Semitic languages. Like other Semitic languages, this alphabet is immensely complex. Letters take different forms based on where they appear in a word: at the beginning, the end, or in the middle. Like Hebrew, the Arabic alphabet has no letters for vowels. Instead, vowels are indicated by diacritical marks above or below the letters they're supposed to follow.
Because of the importance of the language as a sacred language and the cursive nature of the alphabet, Arabic writing became an art form unto itself. Perhaps the principal art form of Islam is
, or the artistic rendering of writing. Two major scripts developed for writing Arabic.
script renders Arabic letters with straight vertical and horizontal lines meeting at ninety degree angles—this gives the written language the character of stability and unity.
script—the Arabic script you've probably seen the most of—renders words with highly cursive and flowing letters. These letters curve and twine around each other and give the language a character of temporality and change. From these two basic scripts arose all the calligraphic arts of Arabic and the Islamic tradition.

text: PR and Communications Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance 01622 833833 www.kentsurreysussexairambulance.co.uk st Issued: Monday 31 January 2011 PRESS RELEASE NatWest helps save four lives Kent Air Ambulance is celebrating a £7,000 cash windfall from Natwest's Community Fund after being voted by the bank's customers as their favourite charity. A panel made up of representatives of the local community reviewed the original applications and short-listed the three charities to benefit from the fund in each area. When voters were asked to pick their favourite it was the life-saving helicopter that scooped the top prize of £3,000 in Tunbridge Wells and Larkfield, and a runner-up prize of £1,000 in Sittingbourne. Each flying mission costs between £1,500 and £2,000 so the sum donated is enough to help the highly-skilled crew to potentially save four lives. Maria Fisher, Regional Director for NatWest in Kent, said: "We've had an overwhelming response to the Community Fund and it's clear that people in Kent are passionate about their Air Ambulance. "We're delighted to be able to make this donation and support the work that they do. We have had so many worthy causes nominated which is why it was important to give the opportunity to our local community to decide who should benefit. "Kent Air Ambulance was slightly different to other charities as they received nominations from three separate funds out of the 11 funds available in Kent, given their regional remit." Kent Air Ambulance flies during daylight hours, 365 days a year, and can reach the furthest part of the county in 20 minutes – "saving time, saving life". The specialist doctor and paramedic on board can carry out advanced medical procedures at the scene including chest surgery, anaesthetics and intubation. They can then fly patients to the most appropriate hospital according to their needs which is often the regional trauma centre in London, giving them the best chance of survival. It took the crew just seven minutes to attend a road traffic collision at Eurolink Way in Sittingbourne following a road traffic collision last month. And in November the helicopter was called to a man in his 60s who had sustained a head injury from a shutter door in Larkfield. Kent Air Ambulance costs £1.7m a year to stay airborne and relies almost entirely on voluntary public donations. Senior fundraiser for Kent, Lynn Hyder said: "We are thrilled to be awarded £7,000 by Natwest and to gain the recognition for all our efforts locally. "The money will go towards general running costs to keep the helicopter flying. Our thanks go to the public in Kent for voting for our worthy cause." If you would like to make a donation to the Air Ambulance please call 01622 833833. Alternatively cheques can be made payable to Kent Air Ambulance Trust and posted to Wheelbarrow Park Estate, Pattenden Lane, Marden, Kent, TN12 9QJ -----ENDS----- Photo: L-R, Front Row – Kent Air Ambulance paramedic Dave Marshall, Pilot Kevin Goddard, and Dr Vidar Magnusson.

Note to Editors: The Air Ambulance service in Kent, Surrey and Sussex costs around £3.4 million annually to stay airborne. Receiving no funding from the National Lottery the charity relies almost entirely upon the generosity of the public to support the two helicopters, based at Marden and Dunsfold.

Jobseekers meet prospective employers at Kimberly-Clark plant in Barton
Posted: January 23, 2013
|AS the Government is set to release the latest unemployment figures later today, jobseekers in the region were last night given the chance to meet prospective employers.
As reported on www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk yesterday, a jobs fair was held at the Kimberly-Clark plant in Barton.
Proposals to close the factory were first announced in October and the move has since been confirmed.
The plant employs 352 staff members, along with 100 contractors and about 120 temporary workers.
According to bosses, about 30 affected employees have already found new jobs. And earlier this month, they said it is their intent to sell the factory once it's empty.
At last night's fair, Kimberly-Clark employees were taking full advantage of the range of opportunities available.
Russ Carrick, 58, from Grimsby, who has worked there for 19 years, said: "It is quite daunting looking for work after that many years.
"I was working in scaffolding for 20 years before joining Kimberly-Clark.
"I am in a better position as I can take my pension, but for the younger ones it is difficult.
"I think it is a good thing to have this jobs fair and I am still definitely going to look for a job."
Check here later for the latest unemployment figures.

Pope: ISIS violence in Iraq and Syria is a 'grave sin against God' The violence being carried out by ISIS militants across large sections of Iraq and Syria is a "profoundly grave sin against God", the Pope has said.
The redemptive power of God is the only answer to ISIS, says Tory MP "This is not a question of religion and religious excess; this is the radical depravity of man," Desmond Swayne said last night.
Memorial service for beheaded aid worker Peter Kassig features readings from Bible and Qur'an Hundreds gathered at Butler University on Sunday to celebrate the life of Peter Kassig, the American aid worker killed by Islamic State militants earlier this month.
Analysis: What makes some British Muslims choose jihad and others choose charity work? For some British Muslims, the path to jihad and the path to peaceful aid work can traverse much of the same terrain.
Christian parents of beheaded aid worker Peter Kassig ask for prayer Peter Kassig's parents asked for prayers for other captives in Syria and Iraq in a brief public statement at their Indianapolis church on Monday.

Before getting a job in the city, I used to dream about being able to walk to work.
I'd normally daydream about this while I sat in my car in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Schuylkill (un)Expressway. I hated driving to work. Even my super-secret back roads short cuts from Manayunk to Plymouth Meeting would take 45 minutes.
I am now lucky enough to live within walking distance of work, the grocery store, Clark Park, Fairmount Park, a farmers' market, and most of the nightlife in the city. However, according to my friends, my definition of "walking distance" is very different from the average person's definition. You see, I live about 2.5 miles from work. To me, that's a nice little stroll in the morning.
When I first started to work out and lose weight, my exercise of choice was walking. When the weather was nice, I'd walk around the track at the Ambler Borough Park. Rain, cold, or snow meant walking inside at the YMCA. It just seemed like the easiest way to exercise. There was no expensive equipment required and no special moves to learn. I didn't have to sign up for a class. I just had to lace up my shoes and hit the pavement.
I have now added running, Zumba, step aerobics, and spinning to my fitness routine. However, walking still remains an important part of my exercise repertoire. I try to add some extra steps to my day by taking a short walk during my lunch break, walking to or from work, or getting off the trolley a stop or two early. It's an easy way to burn a few extra calories while getting some fresh air.
Tomorrow is National Walk@Lunch Day. Whether you are a fitness fanatic or a gym newbie, lace up your sneakers and hit the pavement on your lunch break. Take 30 minutes out of your day to get some fresh air and burn calories.
In Philadelphia, there will be thousands of people walking around Rittenhouse Square. Don't work in Center City Philadelphia? There are walks scheduled all over the region and the country. Visit the National Walk@Lunch page to find a walk near you.
You can also just get some coworkers together to go for a stroll. Maybe even start your own walking club. Maybe you too will see that once you get walking, you can't stop moving.

text: TOP 10 Top 10 Dating Breakup Movies Back to Top ▲ Breakup Movies 10 Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) Share on Facebook Share on Twitter 0 Shares The best way to start your post-breakup movie marathon is with a comedy about a worse dumping than anything you've gone through. If you're going to do that, why not start with Jason Segel and Judd Apatow's Forgetting Sarah Marshall? It's hard to imagine that your breakup involved getting the news naked and then running into your ex in your head-clearing trip to Hawaii while she's banging Russell Brand. It doesn't get much worse than that. Granted, it's unlikely you'll end up hooking up with Mila Kunis for competitive revenge sex, but at least the film offers a nice hopeful fantasy -- and laughs, of course -- which you're going to need plenty of right now, you pathetic little man.

RUSSELL SMITH: Two good outdoor trips
One yields fish, another an 8-point buck
"I got one Daddy! I got one!" yelled my 6-year-old grandson Matthew as he did good just to hold onto his Zebco fishing outfit. His dad, my son Ryan, grabbed a net while I stood there smiling. It was my first trip to Port Mansfield and I knew then it was going to be a pretty special afternoon.
It was mid-November, a time when that muggy Gulf Coast feeling wasn't there — just good ol' clean air and laughing kiddos. The morning had taken us to the soccer fields of Edinburg. Then, after lunch, we hooked onto Ryan's 23-foot Sea Arrow bay boat and started the 70-minute drive to the land of saltwater. We started seeing seagulls shortly after leaving Raymondville.
Port Mansfield sits right on the edge of the Laguna Madre, miles north of Port Isabel and South Padre. The photographer in me immediately noticed people feeding deer by hand, many species of birds and a good number of people lounging around travel trailers. But, except for a few boats of duck hunters pulling out, what kind of took my breath away was that everything else equaled fishing. We had seen shallow running bay boats coming and going but the harbor was also filled with deep-sea rigs that could tackle the big water 9 miles out.
It was about 3 o'clock when we stopped at the Sporting Adventures Bait and Tackle Shop (956-944-2331) next to a public boat ramp. We bought a quart of live shrimp and, after buckling my two grandkids into their life jackets, we were on our way. Almost immediately, we noticed people waving at us from another boat coming toward us. They were in their own Sea Arrow bay boat, boats that have been manufactured and sold here in San Angelo for years.
My son is new to saltwater fishing so he used a map to chart our course along the Intracoastal Waterway that has numbered posts to guide you.
"We don't have much time so we'll fish in this area where it shows trout," Ryan said as he pointed to the waterproof Hook-N-Line guide to the Lower Laguna Madre. He ran the boat on plane until he noticed the right marker on the post, then we idled out into the shallows for several hundred yards. He cut the motor, and said, "The wind should push us across the area on the map."
I tied on a spoon while the other lines were rigged with a hook at the bottom baited with shrimp, a stationary weight several inches up the line and a slip cork above that. Matthew hooked up almost immediately. His 6-year-old sister Madison had her rod bent over shortly thereafter. Then Ryan and his wife, Maritza, latched onto their own fish. I just put my spinning rod back in the holder and spent the next few hours taking fish off and re-baiting the lines. I just had to laugh at one point when Matthew yelled, "Papa, it has me," as a fish took his line around behind the boat.
By day's end, the anglers had boated 27 fish. Most were speckled trout and hardhead catfish, though my daughter-in-law did latch onto any number of skipjacks and put several in the boat. Matthew was the overall winner though, catching the most fish with a pop-pop-pop of the cork that went on almost continuously. All the fish were released as they were caught.
I loved the short-sleeve weather (nothing like the freezing weather back home), but did put on a light jacket at dusk as we headed to a nearby carwash to thoroughly wash the boat and our rods and reels.
The next morning, the kids learned why they call it fishing and not catching. We drove farther up the channel before turning out into the shallow bay, fishing in several different places, without any luck. We fished near a number of small cabins on stilts, again no fish.
"Several times my grandson said, "This isn't any fun." Until we finally went back where we had fished the afternoon before, where it was, "Daddy I got one!" Over both days, except while we were in the channel, I could always touch bottom with a fishing rod, with the average depth 4 feet or less.
Port Mansfield is a great place to visit, especially during our winter months. If you want to take a group, they have condos for rent right by the water. I picked up a few cards of fishing guides: Romey Garza (956-393-7124, Capt. Bob Lany (956-944-2392, www.screamingreelscharters.com), Capt. Burt Grayson (956-873-3474 for hunting and fishing), Capt. Tony Trevino (956-373-1298, Capt. Jerry Reyna (956-778-3474), Tail Chaser Charters (956-605-6409 for fishing and hunting) and Capt. Willie Johnson (956-279-9553, www.southtexasflats.com). Other guides and more information can be found on the Port Mansfield Chamber of Commerce website at www.portmansfieldchamber.org or by calling 956-944-2354.
The Ice Day
Friday, Dec. 6. Schools were out, offices were closed and, for the first time ever, Christmas at Fort Concho closed for the day. After lunch, I slowly drove to a ranch not too far from my house. Ice was all over the ground as I settled into a pop-up blind about 2:30. I drank a cup of coffee and took comfort in a heater that my friend David Hermes had provided. By 3:30, I was covered up with deer, all kinds of bucks and does and yearlings. I saw a nice deer out about 70 yards but he didn't come in, just kind of faded back into the heavy mesquite. The wildlife feeder went off at 4:30 and all animals scattered.
I poured myself another cup of coffee and kept reading a book. The deer slowly started to filter back in and then I saw this big eight-point starting to come in, straight in. He stood there eating the golden kernels for 45 minutes before he finally turned broadside. I had seen two better deer on previous trips, but I thought "a bird in the hand ..." I drew my Mathews bow, put the sight-pin right at the back of the shoulder and squeezed the release.
The deer skedaddled and I lost sight of it about 80 yards away. I sat there reading for about 10 minutes before I walked out toward where the deer had been standing. The arrow was stuck in the ground about 30 yards beyond. Blood was all over it.
David Hermes arrived a few minutes later and he found my Ice Buck in the mesquite. The change in the weather helped me harvest that deer. (Luckily, the arrow was not damaged. Each Easton Full Metal Jacket arrow costs $15 and the Muzzy broadhead is about the same.)
Words from the Past
I was rummaging through some old photographs and found an old story entitled "My Life" that I had written for my language arts class in 1964. It was handwritten. I told where I was born, who my parents were and where they worked, where I went to school and finally started a paragraph with, "In my leisure time, I do many things."
I loved baseball but didn't remember that I collected the pennants of the professional teams back then. I also mentioned stamps, rocks and baseball cards. In parenthesis I wrote, "I'm for the Milwaukee Braves. "I still remember Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn and Eddie Matthews." "For outdoor fun," I wrote, "I like to play football, baseball and hunt, but my main sport is fishing, fresh and saltwater."
"I have had two unusual fishing stories or experiences in my life which follow. One time, while running set lines, I held the light and a six-pound bass jumped up and hit me in the head and fell in the boat and I got him." I mentioned that was not a recent experience while the following one was. "I went to Crystal City fishing (Nueces River, '50s drought) with my grandfather and my uncle. The river was so dry that we couldn't put our boat in the water so we fished from the bank. I was using two rod and reels that day. I cast with one and set the other with a cork. I had caught five bass, a crappie and lots of gar (which we don't keep) when I checked my other line. As I reeled it in, the cork went down and hung so I had to break my line. Just as we were about to leave, my cork popped up and was moving across the top of the water. So I threw in front of it and hung it on the line below the cork and pulled it to the bank where I pulled a 1-pound bass out of the water."
The paper goes on and finally ends with, "and after high school I plan to go to military school and become an Air Force or Marine Chaplain." I don't remember writing this paper and don't remember the last sentence. What a different life it could have been.
Christmas Morning
Fifty years ago, I was plenty excited on Christmas morning as I got up well before dawn. I believe it was the year I received my first rifle, a Harrington and Richardson single-shot .30:30, with a companion 20-gauge shotgun barrel. The day was spent at my grandmother's house where a full-course dinner would interrupt either a football game outside, one on their black-and-white TV or a card game that my uncle Bob always won.
Twenty-five years ago, my son would have been 12, my daughter 10 and they were as excited as I was when I was their age. We normally opened Christmas presents on Christmas Eve, and attended a church service at Harris Avenue Baptist Church where my wife sang in the choir.
This year, the kids and our four grandkids came at Thanksgiving. So, on Christmas morning, I got up early and headed to a deer blind. I drank coffee, watched deer come and go, and sent a phone-captured picture of a spike to the kids along with the words "Merry Christmas." Finally I used a digital camera to forever keep an image of a beautiful nine-point buck that came by.
"You still hunting?" my wife Linda texted as lunch was getting close. Then a text arrived with an attached video of my two oldest grandsons, Caleb and Joshua, holding the two remote-controlled-helicopters we had given them for Christmas. Technology allowed us both to see their excitement as they said, "Thanks Mimi and Papa! Merry Christmas!"
