by Larry Jock
Well, I went for what turned out to be a very long boat ride in search of striped bass and bluefish. Started at Little Gull… out to Great Gull… out to the Jackspot… back in to the Bass Grounds… over to Isle of Wight Shoal... up to Fenwick Shoal and back inside along the beach. Saw very few birds and almost no bait and no fish. Water temperature was just shy of 40 degrees when I left the Ocean City Inlet and got up to 44 degrees at the Jackspot, but it is much colder on the bottom. The little bird activity that I did see was around Isle of Wight Shoal.
I do know of one other boat that ventured 15 miles south and saw nothing.
I did hear of some bluefish at the Fingers.
There haven't been too many anglers chasing striped bass lately, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. Water temperatures close to the beach continue to hover around 38-degrees, too cold for stripers. However, warmer water can be found not too far away, either east or south, and it is just a matter of going far enough to find 42-degree water and you will find the birds and the fish.. and they are thick! So, keep your eyes open when you are outside the 3-mile line trolling for bluefish. You may run across a big school of linesiders!
It was a nice day in the ocean... for a boat ride. There weren't a lot of boats out today, and most got skunked (including me). I headed south, 15 miles from the Ocean City Inlet. Water temp was 42.5-degrees outside the inlet and progressively got warmer the further south I went. Warmest was 45-degrees. I found some birds and bait a few miles south of the Sliver (around 10 miles south), but nothing the further I went. Activity was around 2-2.5 miles off the beach. Most of the birds I saw were heading east.
Other anglers trolled during the morning between Little Gull and the Sliver and came up with nothing.
Some anglers found birds, bait and fish north of the Ocean City Inlet off the high rise hotels in the afternoon.
Tomorrow morning looks like it might be fishable. After that, gale warnings.
Reports came in from multiple anglers about good bird activity from north of the OC Inlet down to Little Gull. Seas were rough.
The big news today was the 28.8 lb. tautog caught by Ken Westerfeld while fishing on the charter boat, "Fish Bound". Ken's jumbo tog set a new world record. the fish measured 35-inches and had a girth of 25 1/4-inches.
If you want to catch large tog, NOW is the time to do it. Historically, the headboats and charter boats running this time of year can really bring back some bruisers.
The feds released the public notice we told everyone about on Wednesday. It set the striped bass creel reduction to 1 fish per person effective at 12:01 AM on Monday.
Striper fishing was slow again today (same as yesterday). Boats were teased with good marks of bait, especially south of the OC Inlet and past the Assateague Bridge, inside the 3 mile line. Birds were continually working the water along with heading towards the south. The boats that did get them only picked at them, but most boats got skunked. There was a rumor of a group of fish caught just outside the Indian River Inlet, but I found nobody to validate the rumor with catches.
Well, here's a late Christmas present from the government. The public notice that was supposed to go out before the end of the year to change the striper fishery to a 1 fish per person creel limit effective January 1st won't go out until Friday. This means that we will be able to keep 2 fish per person for at least Thursday (Jan 1st) and Friday (Jan 2nd). According to Tom O'Connell, who heads up Marylands Fisheries Service, the effective date will either be Saturday or Sunday, so we may even luck out and be able to keep 2 fish per person on Saturday also, but don't expect to be able to on Sunday.
Also, the Coastal Fisherman Winter Issue is on the streets. You can pick it up at many locations along the coast from Lewes, DE down to Ocean City, MD. I hope you enjoy it!!
Happy New Year to everyone!
There was good activity today up off the high rises in OC. Good bird action but more commercial dragging. Best shot was off Pyramid Hotel.
What a difference a day makes. Yesterdays lake-flat seas were turned into a washing machine today. Very rough this morning, but "flattened" out somewhat in the afternoon.
Striper fishing was hit or miss with fish being found from 2.5 to 3.0 miles out between the Sea Buoy and a couple miles past Little Gull. Birds were flying but the fish are moving hard to the south. Water temperatures is hanging around 45.8 degrees so we should have plenty of fishing left.
A hot lure again this year is the TOMIC (not Atomic). These are made in Canada and are used for salmon fishing. Great as your trailing lure on Mojo's. Check with your local tackle shop who would either have them or can get them. Go big… the 6 & 7-inchers work great, especially in the pearl color. Benny Thumma turned me on to these about 7 years ago and I have had great results with them ever since. I know a bunch of other guys around town use them also. The "classic" model with rattles seem to be working the best this year! Their "tubby" model is also a good one. You can check out all their lures and colors at www.tomiclures.com. Nice people!
There hasn't been a lot to report lately, and unfortunately, today is the same. Not much action inside the 3-mile line. Fish were picked at south of the Sliver, but nothing to rave about. Ocean was flat as a lake for the better part of today. Water temp was between 45 and 46 degrees, so the good news is that we have plenty of fishing left. Don't worry, the fish will move inside one of these days. We just have to make sure we are there to capitalize on it!
Flat as a lake today, especially the farther you went south.
There was a decent striper bite from the Sliver to 18 mile south. Seemed like anglers mostly. just picked at the stripers all day. Not a lot of blitzs. Water ten was between 46 & 47 degrees.
It sounds like there was a good striper bite a couple of miles south of the Sliver today. Boats that were there when the bite was hot obviously got them but many boats were late to the show. The bite north of the OC Inlet was dead.
The Ocean City fishing community lost another icon today. Capt. Fred Phillips, longtime captain of the "Virginia" passed away. Services will be held at Pippins Funeral Home in Wyoming, DE. The viewing is on Monday from 7 to 9 PM. The burial is on Tuesday at 11 AM.
Some stripers were caught straight out front of the Ocean City Inlet today.
I also received reports that there was bird activity south of the Inlet between 2 and 3 miles off the beach.
9:20 AM - As I reported yesterday, the striper bite off the coast of Ocean City was slow. I have found out that there was a better bite north of us. Anglers trolling north of the Indian River Inlet, inside Reef Site 9 down to Fenwick Shoal found fish. Trolled Bomber lures worked well.
It is with a very heavy heart that I report that Sue Foster, owner of Oyster Bay Tackle and Fenwick Tackle, died today after a long battle with cancer. Sue was an icon in the Ocean City fishing community. She was one of the most energetic and postive people I have ever met. There wasn't a time that she didn't bring a smile to my face, seeing her bounce around, excited to tell a story about catching fish. Sue will be sorely missed and I wish her husband, Bob and brothers Dan and Dave Mumford our condolences. If there are flounder or trout in heaven, they are in trouble! Rest in peace, Sue. I will miss you greatly.
Striper fishing today was much slower than it has been the last few days. Anglers still caught fish, but nothing in the quantity of recent days. Fish were picked at around the Sliver, Little Gull and further south. Draggers and netters were plentiful on the shoals, so it made things tough for recreational trollers.
There was another great striper bite today. Same spots as yesterday with the best action south of the Inlet between 8 and 14 miles. Most were in the 10-11 mile range.
A few fish were also caught on Little Gull Shoal today.
Capt. Chris on the headboat, "Angler" reported good sea bass fishing with a lot of limits around the rail and fish up to 4 lbs.
The seas were beautiful today. The striper bite north of the inlet was much more quiet today with the better bite happening 10.5 miles south of the Ocean City Inlet from 2.5 to 3.0 miles off the beach. A lot of fish in the 37 to 41-inch class caught on trolled mojos. Chartreuse was a hot color today.
Those trolling Little Gull Shoal today found a lot of bait and solid marks of fish, but they just weren't snapping. In addition to the hot bite 10.5 miles down the beach, anglers also found some fish at the Sliver.
Today was the final day of the Marlin Club Rockfish Tournament.
"Fish Frenzi" put another 6 stripers in the cooler with their 2 largest weighing 25.8 and 26.6 lbs. Fish were caught 10.5 miles down the beach on trolled mojos.
Lynda Talbot caught a 37-inch striper north of the OC Inlet on an umbrella rig.
"Wrecker" returned with another load of stripers after trolling 10 miles down the beach. Largest fish weighed 27.2 lbs.
Tara McDonald weighed a 38-inch striper that tipped the scale at 23 lbs. Tara hooked the striper off Seacrets.
Here's the final standings:
Heaviest Rockfish
"Fish Frenzi' 28.6 lbs. $2,295
"Aubree Lynn" 28.4 lbs. $1,134
"Wrecker" 28.2 lbs. $999
Heaviest Bluefish
"Fish Frenzi" 7.6 lbs. $450
Although the seas were rough, striper fishing was excellent. The best bite was north of the Ocean City Inlet, off the Seacrets radio tower, right on the 3 mile line. Mostly all of the fish caught today were hooked on the troll, with white mojos being the hot ticket.
There was also a good bite at Little Gull in 50 feet of water.
The scale at the Ocean City Marlin Club Rockfish Tournament was very busy with numerous boats returning with their limit of stripers. Here is what we saw:
"Fish Frenzi" brought back 6 stripers with the heaviest weighing 28.6 lbs. All were caught between the Inlet and Seacrets on mojos.
"Wrecker" had a cast of thousands on the boat and returned with 14 stripers in the box. Heaviest weighed 28.2 lbs. and measured 41-inches. All were caught between the OC Inlet and Secrets.
"Hell Bent" caught 8 stripers. Largest weighed 27.2 lbs. and measured 40-inches. Caught on umbrellas and mojos north of the Inlet off Seacrets radio tower.
"Sell Fish" had 6 stripers caught along the 3-mile line off Seacrets. Largest was 38-inches.
Wes Pollitt caught a 25 lb. striper on a trolled mojo off Seacrets.
Today was a great day for striper fishing. Seas were much nicer than predicted. The NOAA Coastal Forecast called for 30 mph winds but the Weather.com OC Report was more accurate with west winds early in the 10 mph range but increasing as the day went on.
Trollers got into nice size fish along the 3-mile line from straight out from the Inlet up to the lumps inshore of Fenwick Shoal. Fish were deep with most bites coming on heavy weighted mojos. White was the hot color.
Anglers who ventured outside of the Inlet today were met with snotty seas and the further you headed east, the snotty they were. There was some good bird action north of the Inlet, but for most of the day they were just over the 3-mile line. Mid-afternoon they had worked themselves to inside the 3-mile line and anglers found fish. Water temperatures are anywhere between 46 and 49-degrees.
A few boats fished today in the Ocean City Marlin Club Rockfish Tournament and there were some leaderboard changes.
"Hell Bent" was the first to arrive at the scales and they weighed a 23.2 lb. linesider.
"Fish Frenzi" took over 1st place with a 40-incher that tipped the scale at 25.6 lbs. The fish was caught by Pete Renzi.
"Canyon Pearl" was the next and final boat to arrive at the scale and they had a nice catch of 8 stripers. Their heaviest also weighed 25.6 lbs., so we have a tie for 1st place heading into the final 3 days of the tournament.
Here are the current standings:
25.6 lbs. 40"L 23"G FISH FRENZI
25.6 lbs. 40"L 21"G CANYON PEARL
25.4 lbs. 40"L 22"G NONTYPICAL

24.4 lbs. 38"L 22"G ON EDGE
23.8 lbs. 38"L 23"G ON EDGE
23.4 lbs. 39"L 22"G AUBREE LYNN
23.2 lbs. 39"L 22"G HELL BENT
22.8 lbs. 40.5"L 22"G HUSEVO
22.8 lbs. 38"L 21"G WRECKER

21.6 lbs. 39"L 22"G HUSEVO
20.6 lbs. 32"L 17"G WRECKER
It was another nasty, windy day on the Eastern Shore. Extreme high tides, rain and wind made it miserable.
I did speak with an angler yesterday who told me that I was a little too far north on Saturday in my search for bluefish for the smoker. It looks like there were a ton of bluefish on the Bass Grounds (2nd lump). Oh well!
Today was the 3rd day of the 2nd Annual Ocean City Marlin Club Rockfish Tourament. Like Sunday and Monday, nobody fished today due to bad weather conditions. Here are the standings:
25.4 lbs. 40"L 22"G NONTYPICAL
24.4 lbs. 38"L 22"G ON EDGE
23.8 lbs. 38"L 23"G ON EDGE

8.4 lbs. 28"L 16"G AUBREE LYNN
*No bluefish were weighed today.
It turned out to be a nicer day than expected in the ocean today. Seas had an east swell, but was nice overall.
The first day of the Ocean City Marlin Club Rockfish Tournament was today, the first of the 9-day event. 13 boats are entered and quite a few of them weighed fish today. Most of them fished north of the Ocean City Inlet and picked at fish the entire day. The "Nontypical" took the lead with a 25.4 lb. rockfish with a couple of other fish right on it's heels.
The bite extended from straight out from the Inlet up to Dewey Beach. It didn't sound like there was much of a bite south of the OC Inlet.
We ventured out to Isle of Wight Shoal in search of bluefish for my brother's smoker. We didn't find any bluefish but we did hook a 24-inch flounder which was stuffed with crabmeat and became part of my dad's 81st birthday dinner tonight. Happy birthday, Dad!!!
Jamie Breidenstein reported in that hime and Matt Borys caught 2 stripers measuring 38" and 40" inches while trolling off midtown OC. They also had 2 bluefish measuring 30" and 32".
Tina Siuta reported catching her limit of stripers today at the Sliver. Largest fish was 42-inches and 30 lbs. The other was 41 inches and weighed 27 lbs. Her husband Jerry caught a 36-inchers.
Capt. Chris Mizurak on the headboat, "Angler" reported having a good sea bass trip with a lot of limits around therail. They also caught a bunch of bluefish weighing up to 12 lbs. All were caught on an offshore wreck.
Capt. Monty Hawkins on the headboat, "Morning Star" reported that all of his anglers caught their limit of sea bass today while fishing at "Chester Sadowski's Hotspot", otherwise known as an ocean wreck.
Capt. Chester Sadowski on the "Jezebel" caught his limit of sea bass for 6 anglers on an ocean wreck.
*** Don't forget to register for the Ocean City Marlin Club Rockfish Tournament TONIGHT at 6:00 PM ***
10:45 PM - The early week striper bite at Overfalls Shoal in the Delaware Bay has petered out a bit lately. The best bite is still between the Indian River Inlet and Sea Colony in Bethany, just inside the 3-mile line at sunrise and late in the afternoon. Anglers haven't been finding a lot of bird activity. They have been finding the linesiders after cruising over large pods of bunker. Commercial boats were working the area off 128th Street this morning.
11:31 PM - Heard from the Coast Guard that the rumors of drones being used to catch anglers fishing for stripers outside 3 miles are untrue.
1:26 PM - Got a report from striper fanatic, Tim Romberger. Tim headed north to between Sea Colony and the Bethany Lump. Said there were 30 boats up there. No birds and no marks. A few fish were caught very early this morning, but the bite was over by 8:45 AM. Some bluefish were wreaking havoc on rubber shads. Anglers fishing north of the Indian River Bridge, just inside Reef Site 9 crushed them this morning with fish up to 30 lbs.
11:30 AM - Anglers have been catching stripers at Overfalls Shoal, but mostly fish too short to keep.
The best bite has been in the ocean between the Indian River Inlet and Sea Colony. Nice, big fish mainly caught on the troll between 2 and 2.5 miles off the beach.
Not much going on in the Indian River Inlet.
I haven't been able to verify the drone rumor. Feds did have helicopters circling boats that were fishing outside the 3-mile line. I guess out country has more money than I thought.
10:24 AM - Capt. Brian on the "Little Angler II" reported having 7 nice stripers in the box after running across a "huge" baitball, north of Sea Colony, 2.5 miles off the beach. Their smallest fish measured 33 inches and their largest measured 47 inches. Capt. Brian is trolling mojo rigs in 50-degree water.
9:37 PM - Sounds like there was a good striper bite off Sea Colony (Bethany Beach) and points north. Nice fish caught on the troll.
Heard a rumor today that an angler got caught by a drone, fishing outside 3 miles and the feds showed up at his door with pictures. I will try to track down the validity of the rumor tomorrow.
Gordy Kautz and Jimmy Long caught their limit of stripers south of the OC Inlet by the Sliver. Largest fish measured 38-inches. Trolling mojo's.
Mike Hastings caught a 37-inch striper while fishing off Assateague Island.
I wish I could update the report more often, but quite honestly, either there hasn't been anything to report or the wind has been too strong to even get out.
The good news is that the stripers are definitely here and water temperatures are still hovering around 50-degrees, so there is plenty of fishing time left. We usually see them stick around until the water reaches 40-degrees, and then they become scarce or gone.
Anglers were able to get out on Saturday and Sunday. Fish were caught on the troll inside the 3-miles up and down the line. Stripers are being caught north of the Inlet, up to Bethany Beach (Sea Colony), and continue to be caught south of the inlet (down by the Sliver) as well.
The Lewes Harbour Marina Striper Tournament ran from October 25th to November 25th. Joe said that not as many fish were weighed this year. The winner was a 44.8 pounder caught at Overfalls Shoal in early November.
Sea bass fishing continues to be good on offshore structure. The Radford wreck was a good spot for knotheads recently. The "Angler" had a good day on Saturday with many sea bass limits and bluefish up to 12 lbs. Fish were caught on Diamond jigs and squid.
Tautog season closes in Maryland until January 1st. Still open in Delaware.
Just a miserable day in Ocean City today. It should take a few days for the waters to settle down after this storm.
They are still slamming striped bass in South Jersey, so we should have batches of big fish moving our way. Just a matter of being able to get to them.
Tautog fishing has been a little slow around the South Jetty and along the rock off Martha's Landing. A lot of throwbacks.
The big news today was the Ocean City Shark Tournament announcing that they will no longer hold the tournament. According to the organizers, the bad weather and changes in the fishery over the last couple of years "critically hurt attendence and financial reserves". This is unfortunate, but understandable. For 34 years the organizers worked hard to put on a good tournament and it is a shame that it has to end.
Windy day today. Big stripers were caught over the weekend. Most of the action was south of the Ocean City Inlet. Good bird activity north, but no fish.
Looks like white is the color of choice on trolling lures right now.
Well, it looks like we are starting to see the start of our striper season off the coast of Ocean City, I think some fish have already skirted us by, probably out around 10 miles, since the first batch has arrived in Virginia.
There was a ton of bird activity north of the Inlet, especially off the Pyramid hotel and further north, but not many people found fish.
Earlier this week, some stripers were caught by anglers fishing at the mouth of the Ocean City Inlet. Fish continue to be caught around the Rt. 50 Bridge. A nice 41-incher was caught during the week.
Capt. Monty on the headboat, "Morning Star" said that sea bass fishing today was excellent with many fishermen catching their limit. They even had a junior angler catch an 8.5 lb. flounder while jigging.
Jimmy Giles, Dale Withers and Al Rittmeyer returned with 6 nice size stripers after trolling south of the Ocean City Inlet. Largest fish weighed 42 lbs.
We haven't been ignoring the report, there just hasn't been much to write about. Stripers are still being caught around the Rt. 50 Bridge, but the stripers migrating down the coast either haven't arrived yet or are too far off the beach to chase. Looks like the season is just running late this year.
My source in New Jersey reported that those between Atlantic City and Cape May have just gotten into big stripers, so they are moving our way. I wouldn't be surprised if this weekend sees some fish being caught off the coast.
Capt. Chris on the headboat "Angler" reported a good day of sea bass fishing with almost everyone catching their limit. Their largest knothead weighed just over 4 lbs. They also had bluefish up to 12 lbs.
Sounds like the striper bite around Overfalls Shoal has petered out a bit. Capt. Amanda at Lewes Harbour Marina said that they are only seeing a few come in each day.
Capt. Bert at Hook'em & Cook'em at the Indian River Marina reported all the short stripers you wanted to catch in the Indian River Inlet and from the beach outside the Inlet. Anglers fishing from the beach in Cape May experienced this same type of action a week ago so it looks like it may be the same batch.
Tautog are being caught along the rocks off Martha's Landing and by anglers fishing from the Indian River Jetty.
Had some buddies go searching over the weekend for migrating stripers, but had no luck. Went as far north as the Pyramid.
Capt. Kane Bounds on the charter boat, "Fish Bound" reported a boat limit of sea bass, 10 nice size bluefish (up to 15 lbs.), 6 tautog up to 6 lbs. and 5 triggerfish. They were fishing with squid and green crabs near the Old Grounds.
I had pictures sent to me by anglers out of Lewes, DE and it looks like some quality linesiders were caught at Overfalls Shoal.
Here we go!!! Migrating stripers showed up at the mouth of the Delaware Bay yesterday. Nice size fish. Pushing 35 lbs.
A good size 48-inch striper was caught off Assateague Island and anglers have reported schools of bluefish just off the beach.
8:00 PM - The striper bite out of Lewes was a little slow today. A few fish were caught at Overfalls Shoal, and they were big. Not much happening yet in the Indian River Inlet. Locally, the striper bite has been good around the Rt. 50 Bridge. Better at night. Just north of the bridge has produced some nice fish.
Capt. Chris Mizurak on the headboat, "Angler" reported in that sea bass fishing has been good with some boat limits recorded recently. They are seeing a mix of sea bass, triggerfish and even a few flounder.
After taking some needed time off, we are back in action with our fishing reports, so stay tuned.
Stripers are moving in and out of the bay. The best bite is definitely at night, but you really have to be patient and pick through the shorts to get your keeper (1 out of 20). Eels are definitely the hot bait right now and the incoming tide has been the best time to go. The deeper hole just north of the Rt. 50 Bridge has been a good spot to drop your eel for a keeper.
The striper bite has been slow during the day, but the water temperature has dropped significantly in the last week, all the way down to between 51 and 56-degrees.
The tautog bite has been very good at the South Jetty for anglers dropping green crabs and sand fleas. If you have your choice, go with the green crabs.
Flounder fishing is still pretty good in the Fish Bowl. The Fish Bowl is located between the East and West Channels, north of the Rt. 50 Bridge.
Big schools of bluefish are being found by anglers trolling along the beach.
11:00 AM - Charter boat, "Lucky Break" had 3 stripers and a big bluefish, all caught on eels. The stripers were hooked by the South Jetty and the 13 lb. 1 oz. bluefish was caught by the Rt. 50 Bridge.
The Bahia Marina Rocktoberfest tournament ended today. Lines were in at 4pm yesterday and out at 4pm today. The
Here are the final standings:
Rockfish Division:
1st - Hugh Cropper - 15 lbs. 11 oz. - $1,870 (caught at Rt. 50 Bridge on spot)
2nd - Chris Hall - 13 lbs. 14 oz. - $1,025 (caught at Rt. 50 Bridge on eel)
3rd - Mike Schirmer - 12 lbs. 5 oz. - $705 (caught at South Jetty on curltail)
Bluefish Division:
1st - Myra Cropper - 7 lbs. 4 oz. - $287 (caught at Rt. 50 Bridge on spot)
Tautog Division:
1st - Owen Collins - 3 lbs. 7 oz. - $287 (caught at South Jetty on green crab)
Flounder Division:
1st - Kevin Stoltzfus - 5 lbs. 2 oz. - $287 (caught at South Jetty on spot)
Open Division:
1st - Scott Stoltzfus - 23.1 lb. ray - $287 (caught in Inlet on sand flea)
Devin Wiley emailed in to report that they boated a 220 lb. bigeye tuna, a 77 lb. yellowfin and a 14 lb. mahi in the Wilmington Canyon on the troll.
Steve and Selina Fink caught 6 keeper flounder on cut bait by the Rt. 90 Bridge.
Charter boat, "Fish Bound" was south of the Jackspot and ended up with a boat limit of 24 flounder. All were caught on Gulp! artificial baits and cut bluefish.
NOTICE: The Mid-Atlantic Marine Fisheries Committee will be holding public comment meetings on the managment plans for summer flounder. There are no specific recommendations for changes to the management plan. Every so often they need to go through the entire plan to see if any changes need to be made. In addition to size and creel, the allocation between recreational and commercial anglers is on the table. Also sounds like New York is looking for additional fish.
Our local meetings will be:
Thursday, October 2nd
Ocean Pines Library
6pm - 8pm
Monday, October 6th
DNREC Auditorium
Dover, DE
6pm - 8pm
Although there is nothing specific on the table, it is an important meeting to attend if you have any interest in summer flounder regulations.
"Three J'S" were south of the Washington Canyon when they caught 5 longfin tuna.
Charter boat, "Boss Hogg" caught 40 dolphin and 25 tile fish in the Washington Canyon.
Charter boat, "Marli" caught 60 dolphin in the Washington Canyon.
"Restless Lady" returned from the Washington Canyon with a 267 lb. bigeye tuna and a 300 lb. mako shark.
"Thrillseeker" had 23 mahi (170 lbs.) and a 45 lb. longfin in the Poor Man's Canyon.
Up in Delaware, Dave Walker caught a new Delaware state record sheepshead, weighing 17.1 lbs., while fishing on a Delaware reef site. The previous record was 15 lbs. 11 oz., caught in 2012.
Another nice day in OC.
Although the season doesn't reopen until October 18th, it sounds like sea bass bite are snapping on ocean structure right now. Anglers are having trouble getting their baits to the bottom for flounder fishing.
The area north of the Rt. 50 Bridge, between the East and West Channels is still the hot spot for catching flounder. When the fish are snapping, it's a nice there because there aren't any snags. A lot of local anglers fished that location again today.
Charter boat, "Get Sum" has had some really good trips lately and they had another one this morning. They had 9 keepers while fishing north of the Rt. 50 Bridge. All on Gulp! Swimming Mullets.
Charter boat, "No Quarter" had 29 dolphin in the Washington Canyon.
Charter boat, "Marli" caught 57 dolphin in the Washington Canyon.
Charter boat, "Boss Hogg" had a bigeye tuna and 60 dolphin in the Washington Canyon.
Charter boat, "Spring Mix II" had 33 dolphin in the Washington Canyon.

Drake's Laughable 'Nothing Was the Same' Album Art Is Different, All Right
Read in the voice of Michael from 'Arrested Development': "That?"
By now you have surely seen Drake's new album cover art. You know, the twin images of Drake and what appears to be a younger version of himself, each staring into the distance, set against, um, a hyper-realistic blue sky filled with puffy clouds. Look, when Nothing Was the Same comes out on September 24, the track list will have Drizzy's pick of potential year-end list candidates ("Hold On, We're Going Home," "All Me," "The Motion," and on and on). Cover artist Kadir Nelson seems like a smart, talented guy with an impressive résumé (he did the artwork for Michael Jackson's posthumous Michael and has illustrated best-selling books about heroic figures such as Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jackie Robinson). And yes, there's precedent for some of this: Killer Mike's painted younger self on last year's R.A.P. Music, not to mention the childhood photos on Nas' Illmatic, the Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III (and IV). But c'mon: The background is the sky, just like in every picture you drew when you were that kid's age. And the pair's super-serious faces are so photo-realistic we're near uncanny valley territory. Isn't it all a bit, well, hilarious-looking? Especially compared with the equally hilarious but awesome, opulent moroseness of 2011's Take Care? And aren't we going to feel a little bit embarrassed having this looming over our turntables for the rest of 2013? Drake has to know this is funny.
Check the art out in full below.

Traxxas sponsor decal shee Includes: One Sponsor Decal Set.
I love these decals looks great too!!!
Put them on your rc unit you can make it look like a race car or truck neat.
here again a nice set of decals at a great price..
pretty standard and a good choice of sizes. a broader choice of sheets would be cool.
Had these on my 1/10 slash and had to get them for my 1/16 as well.
Stickers are very small and come in one bug sheet you have to manage to cut yourself... before you spend half an hour to separate the sticker itself from its support sheet. Not recommended.
Like it had to have it
Stickers where all one thing Negative
great decal
glad we found them here, they were cheaper and in stock. also, shipping is better and more reliable.

Lol i could see joined date a few mins ago and now its gone
who cares what date you joined.
Captain Scro
I do when it comes to people constantly giving opinions/criticizing others' opinions
The Senate
I'm serious. This is like the most unnecessary thing they've done so far. I understand that this benefits post-beta players, no longer displaying a date that could lead others to assume on their skill level, but I really feel like this is the first time Riot disenfranchised me directly. The only people who are saying that Joined Date doesn't matter are the people who benefited. Seriously.
Join dates are nothing! I was here since the old forums then I lost my post count and join date when we switched to these forums but I'm not cryin!
I think its useful to ignore join dates. But that might just be me, because mine said December when I actually joined in October.
Director of Player Experience
Join date wasn't your actual join date. It was the first date you used the forums. People were using it to insult other people. I'll also be removing the junior/senior member tags. We're going to be introducing actual game stats to that space in the future.

"My Choice for Frank Muller's Best"
I wish it were possible to award six or seven stars for a book and reader. This would be my choice for that combination. Listen and weep.
"A fine line"
I love this series, but there's a fine line between "cliffhanger" and "trolling." I'm not certain which side of the line this one falls on. Nonetheless, I'm on the hook.
"I miss Frank Muller"
Will Patton is imprinted on my brain as the voice of James Lee Burke. He does a fine job with Stephen King as well. But oh my, do I miss Frank Muller.
"A Screed"
Ayn Rand meets Ted Nugent. If that's your cuppa, then go for it. But not for me, thx.
"A tough coice for audio"
This is a somewhat less-than-great presentation of a great story. It documents what is likely the most amazing feat of sustained intelligence analysis ever performed against a target that should, by all rights, have been unbreakable. The intellectual level achieved by people like Alan Turing, as well as the selfless efforts of hundreds of others at BP are nothing short of amazing in retrospect.
The presentation is factual, detailed (some might say dry), and often hard to follow due to the lack of photos, numerical tables, and other information that is not conveyed by the audio alone. For example, if you can visually picture an Enigma machine after having listened to the written descriptions only, I congratulate you. I cannot. But I will now go seek out the photos, and I will know what I am looking at.
If you are looking for an action-packed war adventure, this book is not for you. If you are looking for thoughtful account of a crucial aspect of the war in the North Atlantic, you will like this one. I certainly did.
"I found it lacking"
This story had the setup to address any number of serious political and religious issues: women's rights, crime & punishment, religion and persecution. Instead, it ducked the issues, and became a teen coming of age romance. All it needed was a vampire to complete the picture. I was disappointed.
"Poor Richard"
Poor Richard.
Sir Richard, that is.
Francis Burton, that is.
First he gets resurrected and dragged all over Riverworld by Philip Jose Farmer with the greatest of all cowboys, Tom Mix as a sidekick.
Now, as if that's not enough, he's got to battle time-travelling gents and steam-punk historical persons with the eccentric poet Algernon Swinburne as a sidekick.
What is it about this fellow Burton?
For those who fear that all of this seems a little outlandish and fanciful, I would suggest that you do a little research on Sir Richard's actual life and adventures. They are at least as outrageous as anything in these books. Quite a fella, that.
This is a fun book, and where ever Richard might now be hanging out, I'll bet he is enjoying it, and translating it into 23 languages. Probably adding some dirty parts. For my part, I'll now charge straight ahead into the next volume, thank you very much.
"Outstanding audio performance"
This is a very harrowing, ultimately redemptive story. But the audio performance by the author is utterly outstanding, among the best I have ever listened to.
"No middle ground"
I'm pretty sure that Chuck Palahniuk is not an acquired taste. You'll know within the first couple of pages of any of his books or stories whether you like his work or hate it. I'm in the former category. If you are easily offended, stay away from his writing. Like his other books, this one starts out with a premis so unsettling and bizarre (death induced by an ancient nursery rhyme) that it's hard to imagine how he might sustain it. But somehow he does - and with style.

Cobblers prove too strong for Seagulls
Northampton comfortably moved into the Carling Cup second round after seeing off League One Brighton 2-0 with first-half goals from Michael Jacobs and Billy McKay.The League Two outfit were never seriously troubled by a Brighton side who were reduced to 10 men late in the first half by the dismissal of Matt Sparrow. And although they showed more intent in the second half, the visitors were never able to claw back the two-goal deficit.Jacobs, 18, grabbed the opening goal on his full debut as early as the 12th minute when he cut inside before beating Michael Poke from 15 yards.Six minutes later McKay doubled Northampton's advantage with a diving header at the far post from a pin-point cross from the impressive Ryan Gilligan.Sparrow was shown a straight red in the 35th minute for hitting out at Abdul Osman and Brighton never really recovered.The Cobblers should have increased their advantage in the second half with skipper Andy Holt heading over from Nathanial Wedderburn's cross, while the latter went close himself with a diving header.

Death Valley National Park turned into a tourist and media hot-spot this past weekend as the parkãs famous thermometer soared.
With near record-setting temperatures forecast throughout the West last weekend, visitors from all over the world traveled to Death Valley to see if a new world record would be set in whatãs already considered the hottest place on Earth.
According to National Park Service Public Information Officer Cheryl Chipman, the temperatures were hot enough to set a new record for the month of June, but at 129ô¯F on Sunday, Death Valley was just five degrees shy of the July 10, 1913 world record of 134 degrees. That record was set at Greenland Ranch in Death Valley.
Sundayãs 129ô¯F is one degree hotter than the 1996 record of 128ô¯F for the month of June. It also matches a previous heat wave experienced in July 1913, when five consecutive days of 129ô¯F or above were recorded in Death Valley.
But Death Valley wasnãt the only community in Inyo to experience excessive heat. According to the National Weather Service, Bishopãs 107- degree heat on Saturday nearly beat out the previous record for the area, 108ô¯F, set in 1972.
While many in the Owens Valley, from Bishop to Lone Pine, headed to upper elevations, swam in the Owens River or stayed indoors to keep cool, others actually sought out the heat, heading to Death Valley in hopes of being present for a new world record.
ãIt was a busy weekend,ã Chipman said. ãWe had quite a few media outlets and a lot of visitors. It was hot, and they were happy.ã
Chipman said the National Park Service does not keep records of exactly how many visitors pass through the gates at the park each day, but she did say that Badwater and Furnace Creek were busy park destinations.
Despite the increase in visitation, Chipman said there was only one heat-related emergency in the park over the weekend.
According to DVNP Chief Ranger Karen McKinlay-Jones, a Colorado resident in his late 50s was airlifted out of the park late Saturday afternoon after experiencing heat-related complications while ãhiking in the Mesquite Dunes in the mid-afternoon.ã
McKinlay-Jones said the man was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon.
ãAmazingly enough, that was the only call,ã McKinlay-Jones said. ãI think that itãs hot enough that people are realizing that they just canãt be out there.ã
However, Chipman did say that she has heard reports that one visitor to the park over the weekend donned a Darth Vader costume, and was caught on camera taking a jog in the heat of the day.
According to the L.A. Times, Jon Rice, 42, of Longmont, Colo., decided to run a mile in the Vader costume to earn the ãhottest verified runã for Guinness World Records.
Rice ran on the center white line of State Route 190 so his shoes wouldnãt melt on the asphalt.
He described the experience to the L.A. Times as ãabject pain.ã
DVNP and the National Park Service said in a press release that all visitors should take safety measures while visiting the park in extreme temperatures. The DVNP offers the following life-saving tips:
ã Drink plenty of water ã Drink at least one gallon (4 liters) of water per day to replace loss from sweat, more if you are active. Fluid and electroyte levels must be balanced, so have salty foods or ãsports drinksã too.
ã Avoid hiking in the heat ã Do not hike in the low elevations when temperatures are hot. The mountains are cooler in summer, but can have snow and ice in winter.
ã Travel prepared to survive ã Stay on paved roads in summer. If your car breaks down, stay with it until help comes. Carry extra drinking water in your car in case of emergency.
ã Watch for signs of trouble ã If you feel dizzy, nauseous or a headache, get out of the sun immediately and drink water or sports drinks. Dampen clothing to lower body temperature. Be alert for symptoms in others.
The Fahrenheit frenzy in Death Valley isnãt over, meanwhile.
DVNP and the NWS will host a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the hottest recorded temperature in the world, on July 10.
The event will feature meteorologists from the NWS as well as National Park Service rangers who will discuss topics such as the inquiry into the record measurements (recently changed from El Azizia, Libya to Death Valley), why Death Valley is so hot, and everyday tips to survive in the hot climate.
The event will take place in the Furnace Creek Visitor Center.
According to Death Valley National Park Superintendent Kathy Billings, ãOne million visitors each year know that Death Valley has more to offer than heat. It is a record holder on many fronts as the largest national park and wilderness outside of Alaska, and the lowest elevation and driest climate in North America. It offers some of the most unique landscapes in the National Park System and is home to thousands of plant and animal species who have adapted to this harsh environment.ã

OK, I have a DIPA (IIPA) planned next. About 100 IBUs and a 27 SRM. Wards Lab Water Profile: Ca=<1 Mg=<1 HCO3=166 SO4-S=3 CaCO3=3 Cl=5 Na=80 Total Alkalinity=151 pH=8.5 Plan to dilute 1:1 with distilled water to start. Total Mash Volume 5.3 gal Sparge (Batch) Volume 5.0 gal I've read the chapters in Palmer's book, and Daniel's book and the Bru 'n Water document and played around with the Palmer spreadsheet and the Bru 'n Water spreadsheet. While I THINK I understand some of it, I was wondering if someone with water adjustment knowledge might give me their thoughts on what I should do. Right now, I have gypsum, CaCl (liquid currently), and phosphoric acid (10%) on hand. I'll run my numbers thru the spreadsheets and see if I come close. Thanks for any help I can get!
It looks like water softener water, but its not crazy high in Na. The alkalinity certainly has to be neutralized to some degree. Excepting for those outliers, its pretty pure water. The dilution is a decent idea. I like a small amount of Na in my beers. Try it and decide if you do to. 40 ppm is OK. Of course you will have to boost the Ca and SO4 for a good IPA. You will need the drying effect of the SO4.

Our water is apparently softened at the treatment facility. What do you recommend for the SO4? Seems like I read there is a certain ratio of SO4 to Ca that works better for hoppy brews.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Next budget big challenge for Tories
The Harper government faces its biggest challenge in drafting the forthcoming federal budget.
The problem is that three of the biggest drivers of the economy -- consumer spending, business investment and government activities -- have difficulties.
In good times, consumers account for more than 60 per cent of our economic activity. Now, however, many of them feel a bit shaky.
Income growth has been sluggish and household debt has reached its highest level in history -- 153 per cent of annual after-tax income. Last week, the Bank of Canada said it will likely increase this year, which means we are getting closer to the 160 per cent figure America reached just before its economy tanked in 2008.
Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney has warned several times that Canadians are carrying too much debt and have been for some time.
Business has a different problem. The latest Statistics Canada figures -- for the third quarter of 2011 -- show Canadian business is sitting on more than $583 billion in Canadian currency and deposits, and more than $276 billion in foreign currency.
Since last year, these cash reserves have climbed nine per cent and 27.3 per cent since 2007, when the Canadian economy was booming.
Carney repeatedly tells business that now that consumers have debt problems it is time for business to step up and provide some push for the economy. But Perrin Beatty, CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, says business doesn't invest until it thinks it will get a return.
"You're not going to go off and hire somebody," he says, "if you think you're going to be selling less stuff next year than you did this year."
Carney replies now is a good time to invest because low demand has made some machinery costs cheaper and weakened companies are less able to counter Canadian moves into good markets such as China and India.
It makes little sense, says the governor, to "wait out" the current problems in hopes that things will soon be back to normal.
The net worth of Americans has fallen to five times their income from 6.5 per before the recession, and it will take years to rebuild their lost wealth. Europe won't see pre-crisis levels of output until about 2014.
That leaves government. Ottawa borrowed and spent a lot of money helping the economy through the 2008-09 recession. Now, it wants to start paying down its debts.
The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives said last week that federal government cuts could chop 60,000 to 68,000 jobs from the public service in the next few years -- bringing it to the lowest level of staffing since 2000.
A consensus seems to be forming that governments should make a few budget cuts now, but make more later when the economy is in better shape.
Even Nouriel Roubini, the "Dr. Doom" who predicted the American housing crash, says fiscal austerity in the short run will make slow growth worse. Cuts, he says, should be spread out "over time."
"Markets force you into austerity, which makes the recession worse, which deepens the fiscal deficit, requiring more austerity," he told the Globe and Mail.
Canada is better off economically than the U.S. and many European nations, but the government says our economy is fragile and last month we saw the biggest job losses since the last recession.
The International Monetary Fund, a monitor of global financial affairs, said last week Canada's economy will only grow now by 1.7 per cent, compared to 2.3 per cent in 2011.
Government spending should not be the only concern of the Harper government. It should also be interested in giving the economy a push and increasing government revenues by implementing useful programs that don't require a lot of money.
Programs such as improving innovation and productivity; increasing trade in and outside Canada; setting up better skills training for youth and the older unemployed; opening Canada up to more competition from foreign companies and making transportation easier for exporting companies.
Ottawa's in-baskets are overflowing with ideas along these lines -- and have been for years. There's lots from which the Harper government can choose. If it wants to.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Le Samourai is a masterpiece in the thriller genre that puts most other thrillers to shame. It is both visually and aurally stylish, while providing a taut story with genuine surprises and a strong performance by a charming lead actor. The director of Le Samourai had a profound influence on a couple of the current directors that you action-film buffs most cherish. Historical Background: Despite being sometimes linked to the French New Wave auteurs, Jean-Pierre Melville had a fiercely independent nature and set his own course. Other directors might be with him soon or late but he would never be with others. Two of his early films, Les Enfants terribles (1950), and Bob le Flambeur (1955), could be viewed as precedents for the New Wave style, but that was by choice of the New Wavers, not Melville. Although Melville shot in real locations with a matter-of-factness that evoked a sense of realism, his style was always fundamentally composed and synthetic. Melville was born Jean-Pierre Grumbach in 1917 but took Melville as a professional name in order to honor the great novelist who had been influential in the maturation of Jean-Pierre's intellect during adolescence. He had a fascination with the American noir films of the forties and most of his thirteen feature films over a twenty-five year career consisted of atmospheric crime films in the noir tradition with a distinctly Gallic flavor. In Melville's conception, gangster films are character studies and morality plays more than action films. His protagonists are, to an extent, an embodiment of Melville himself if not in particulars, in their essence. Melville once stated, "To be frank, I'm only able to become interested in characters who reflect some aspect of myself," by which he meant "the natural authority of the creator." Melville was a distinctly private man, distanced from the world, maintaining a creative purity and rigorous professionalism, which are the very qualities manifested by the protagonist, Jef Costello, of Le Samourai. The Story: Jef Costello (Alain Delon) is a contract killer who lives alone in a sparsely furnished and dilapidated room alone except for a caged blue finch. He is successful at his profession because he abides by a series of rituals from which he never deviates. He heads out on assignment with his gun and a set of skeleton keys. After heisting a car, he drives to a garage where an associate (André Thorent) changes the plates. Jef next stops by the apartment of his girlfriend, Jane Lagrange (Nathalie Delon), to establish his alibi, specifying the time later that evening when he supposedly arrived and the time he departed. He then stops by a room where some friends play cards, telling them that he will be there later that night. He proceeds to the nightclub and shoots the designated man dead. While leaving, he is seen by a half-dozen or so witnesses, but most closely by the beautiful and sultry black piano player, Valérie (Cathy Rosier). He throws the murder weapon into a river and heads off to join the card game. The Police Superintendent (François Périer) is hopeful of solving this particular murder case, given the good fortune of six witnesses having glimpsed the killer. He orders hundreds of "the usual suspects" rounded up from districts throughout the city. Among the targeted locations is the card game that Costello has joined. Since he fits the general description of the killer, Costello is taken into custody, along with dozens of others of all sizes and shapes. Two of the witnesses believe that Costello might be the man, so he his held while his alibi is checked out. To Costello's surprise, Valérie declares that he is definitely not the man, seemingly deceiving the Superintendent intentionally. Though Jane verifies his alibi, the Superintendent is dubious and makes Costello his chief suspect, despite having to release him. Costello now has, not one, but two problems. The first is that the Superintendent has put a police tail on him. He is able to lose the tail, however, using his intimate knowledge of the subway system. The second problem is that the unknown person who hired him for the hit, through a middleman, is worried that Costello being a suspect in the crime has created a threat. When Costello meets the middleman (Jacques Leroy) to collect his payment, he collects a bullet instead, though his quick reflexes deflect the shot, limiting the damage to a forearm flesh wound. Costello reasons that he'll have to track down and kill whoever hired him before they kill him first. How to do that with the police watching his every move is a problem. From here to the end of the story, there are several twists and turns as the various predators circle their respective prey. There is much joy to be had from this film in discovering those developments, so I won't give any more away. I'll only add that this is one of the few films in which the ending came as a total surprise to me but which nevertheless felt like a perfectly appropriate conclusion, viewed in retrospect. That combination is a rare treat. Themes: This is a film about desperate loneliness and alienation. Costello is clearly the lone wolf on the prowl or, more precisely, a stalking tiger. The film opens with a quotation, supposedly taken from The Book of Bushido (code of the Samurai) but actually composed by Melville himself, which reads, "There is no greater solitude than the samurai's unless perhaps it be that of the tiger in the jungle." Clearly, it is intended that we understand this bit of wisdom to apply to this lonely contract killer. The opening scene in Costello's Spartan apartment is a masterpiece of atmosphere-establishing cinematography. The soulless room is dimly lit from a dull light pouring in through two windows that open onto a rainy day. The windows have the appearance of a pair of rectangular eyes as seen from the inside of the cranium, placing us in the interior consciousness of the story. A wisp of smoke rises from one side where Jef, barely visible, rests on his bed. The room is silent except for the chirping of a caged blue finch, Jef's only companion. There is a grim emptiness to Costello's environment and, we imagine, his existence. Costello's lifestyle very nearly matches the life of a monk, not only in austerity but also in the ascetic purity with which he practices his ritualized profession. It is precisely when and because he breaks the perfection of his discipline that his doom is sealed. Production Values: The script for Le Samourai is reasonably close to perfection. On the surface level, we are presented with a mesmerizing cat-and-mouse game between two shrewd individuals, Jef Costello and the Police Superintendent. Jef is the expert contract killer, attentive in every detail, while constructing near perfect crimes. The Superintendent is the Columbo-like detective who believes he can solve every crime by dogged determination. This surface story is then buoyed by a classy stylization and existential underpinnings. The style is a kind of Clint Eastwood "cool", complete with methodical, unflappable machismo. When Jef says to his pals at the poker game, "I never lose, not ever," we think of such Dirty Harry lines as "Go ahead, punk, make my day" or "Well, are you feeling lucky, punk?" Philosophically, Costello can just as well be seen as everyman being stalked by fate, in the form of the Superintendent. Unlike Hollywood films, of this genre or in general, Le Samourai uses both violence and words sparingly so that, when either does occur, we know it is important. Melville doesn't bother with back-stories to explain how we've gotten to the story at hand. We never learn why the contract was put out on the nightclub owner. We never learn how Costello came to be a hitman. Nothing extra is offered that might distract us from the tension of the story at hand. There are subtle touches of humor, such as the lineup of suspects that includes many not remotely similar to the description of a tall man of about thirty. Though Le Samourai is in color, it has the look of the black-and-white noir films of the forties. Shadows and gloom predominate throughout. The sun never shines during the outdoor shots and the interior lighting is dim as well. The colors are poorly saturated. The palette is build around cool grays, murky browns, mossy greens, and steely blues. The trench coats and fedoras are almost campy in their magnificent. Melville is a genius when it comes to selection of visual perspectives, shifting between subjective and objective lens positions, ensuring that we observe the story with a genuine mix of detachment and interiority. Sometimes we look at the surroundings from the visual position of the central character. Other times, the camera is set some distance from the protagonist (inviting detachment), but even then the story unfolds in the calm, ritualized manner that is the method of thought of the protagonist. Melville has uncommon command of sound as a vehicle for developing meaning and tension. Melville developed his love of cinema during the early days of sound cinema and learned to appreciate the value of interspersing sound and silence. Instead of cluttering up the soundtrack with a musical score, Melville isolates environmental sounds against a background of pregnant silence. Le Samourai opens with a long take in Costello's darkened and sparse apartment, silent except for the highly evident chirping of the finch. Costello finally arises and departs, but by the time the first conversation takes place at Jane's apartment, we're about eight minutes into the film. As Jef walks the streets, we hear ambient sounds, but it's another few minutes before the next brief bit of dialog. These long periods of silence heighten our awareness of the aural environment. Alain Delon strikes me as one of the most gorgeous men I've seen. I have no idea if he also has that effect on female viewers, though I suspect he does. At one time, some critics dismissed Delon as too "stiff" and "inexpressive." That was before the tough guy persona was perfected and glamorized by the likes of Clint Eastwood and Robert De Niro. I thought Delon's icy performance was spot on for this role as the methodical and alienated anti-hero hitman. Delon's other work includes Rocco and His Brothers (1960), L'Eclisse (1962), The Leopard (1963), and Is Paris Burning? (1966). François Périer gave a workmanlike performance as the Superintendent, neither especially excellent nor deficient. His resume includes Orphée (1949), Nights of Cabiria (1957), Testament of Orpheus (1959), The Organizer (1964), Z (1969), and Stavisky (1974). I thought both of the female leads lovely and talented. Jane was played by Delon's wife, Nathalie Delon, who is otherwise best known for an appearance in The Romantic Englishwoman (1975). Cathy Rosier was superb as Valérie. Bottom-Line: Both critic Roger Ebert and director John Woo have referred to Le Samourai as a practically perfect film. I'm not inclined to dispute those assertions. It has a strong script, artful direction, an excellent lead performance and fine supporting performances, thematic depth, atmospheric cinematography, an intelligent soundtrack, and a provocative ending. All of that adds up to a fully engaging and entertaining movie. Quentin Tarantino is another director who has sung Melville's praises and cited him as a major influence. Luc Besson has also obviously seen Le Samourai, judging from his fine film The Professional (1994), in which Léon's potted plant plays something akin to the same role as the blue finch in Melville's film. I found this film riveting and satisfying and highly recommend it. Le Samourai is in French with English subtitles and has a running time of 101 minutes. ************************************************************************************************* You might want to check out these other excellent films from France: Alphaville Am�lie The Battle of Algiers La Belle et la B�te Bob le Flambeur Le Boucher Boudu Saved from Drowning A Bout de Souffle La Cage aux Folles Céline and Julie Go Boating La Cérémonie La Ch�vre Children of Paradise Cléo from 5 to 7 Un Coeur en Hiver Contempt Cyrano de Bergerac Delicatessen The Dinner Game Diva The Earrings of Madame de . . .

MSO says Arasu Cable TV Corporation cut cables laid by it
The Madras High Court on Thursday dismissed a writ petition by a Multi-System Operator (MSO) seeking to restrain the Tamil Nadu Government from interfering with the peaceful running of its cable service business.
The petitioner, Kal Cables Pvt.Ltd, Mylapore, said the government launched the Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation Limited on September 2 this year without any infrastructural facilities of its own.
The television corporation in order to distribute the free channels through operators/affiliates illegally cut the cables laid by the MSO and used the same to distribute its channels to cable operators in Coimbatore, Tirupur and Erode regions.
Justice N.Paul Vasanthakumar said the petitioner had filed only the receipts for having paid the track rent. Neither the application submitted, as required under the Tamil Nadu Municipalities Television Cable Installation Regulation Rules nor the provisional permission granted by the Commissioner had been filed. Also, NOC issued by the Commissioner had not been filed. On the contrary, it was the petitioner's contention that having received the track rent, permission was deemed to have been granted. Nowhere in the rules was it stated that if an application was submitted and no order was passed, permission/NOC was deemed to be granted. Thus, the Advocate-General was justified in contending that the petitioner was doing cable TV network not in accordance with the rules.
The judge said it was a well settled proposition of law that disputed questions of facts could not be agitated in writ proceedings filed under Article 226 of the Constitution. Applying decisions of the Supreme Court, he said that he was of the view that the writ petition was not maintainable. The remedy for the petitioner was either to approach the civil forum to establish the ownership of the cables or to invoke the Cr.P.C, if anyone was cutting or using the cables of the MSO. Granting such liberty, the judge dismissed the petition.

You lay there under the covers, your (h/c) (h/l) hair surrounding your face like a mane on a lion. You mumbled feebly in your sleep, starting to toss and turn under the black sheets. Your dream had now transformed into a nightmare.Sweat started to drip down your temple, as your face scowled in worry and anger. You tossed and turned in your sleep. Soon your small mind couldn't take it anymore, as you had let out an ear-piercing scream. Crying followed this, as you woke up, and shook under the warm covers. Your (e/c) eyes opened up quickly and darted around in anxiety. You kept cr

Strangling, choking, slapping, and pounding the hell out of any twinky little fucker that dares cross their path, the aggressively dominant men of Scary Fuckers let no boy go unpunished and no fan of blistering, brutal gay hardcore go unaroused. High Definition videos, high-res photos, and a huge bonus network are but a few reasons to drag yourself to Scary Fuckers a.s.a.p., but if they don't convince you, well, maybe you need the Scary Fuckers themselves to make you see the light.
Want to watch up-and-coming pornstars talk about themselves with disrobing and letting their fingers (and toys) introduce a little self-loving into the scene? Solo Interviews, a Team Skeet site built around that very premise, has more than 100 exclusive and original (and babelicious) scenes to offer you, most of them presented in High Definition and with a definite focus on female masturbation and, surprisingly, not so much on the titular interviews.
Trading in the porn-standard facials, pearl necklaces, and oral injections of milky white spooge for vaginal creampies, Teen Pies sees porn's most promising young starlets lean back, spread their legs, and work their pussies into a most accepting state of readiness. Fucked then filled by some studly young fellas, the Teen Pies girls let the cum seep from their snatches, rubbing it in or dipping their fingers for a taste, and let the Team Skeet crew's cameras catch it all for posterity. You'll never enjoy creampies like this is real life with anyone but your trusted steady lay - and if you do with your occasional fuck buddy, be fucking careful, dude - so why not enjoy the slightly dangerous side of orgasmic expulsions with Team Skeet's latest addition, Teen Pies.
Teens often do all kinds of crazy shit, vandalize, steal, and generally behave like the entitled little shits they often are, but they also embrace technology faster than us old folks, and many use it to (legally) express and exhibit their sexual sides. Teens Do Porn shows the logical next step up from amateur pornography, showcasing the talents of many impressively wanton porno newcomers in hardcore scenes largely shot with a POV camera. While far from Team Skeet's best site, Teens Do Porn is definitely a new addition worth keeping an eye on, as is most of its cast.
At TS Playground, the most charming and attractive shemales in porn gather for a rootin', rompin' good time and you, you lucky devil, get to watch it all unfold in stunning High Definition. Whether paired with another tranny, a stiff-dicked male top, a gay bottom, a lesbian domme, or a cock-hungry pornstar whore, these gals put on a great show throughout this unfortunately small site. They'll certainly make an impression on you, if only you'll let them.
It's impossible to walk down a city street these days without bumping into some numbskulls whose fingers and eyes are glued to an iPhone, Android, or even a tablet. What, they're so secure in their financial stability that purchasing and flaunting the latest unnecessary gadget prevents them from walking and watching where they're going? Pfft. Unless they're looking at porn, there's no excuse for ruining an otherwise perfectly suitable mode of transportation. If the porn in question in being viewed on WTF Pass Mobile, the portable version of the nine-site network responsible for such titles as Panda Fuck and Hard Fuck Girls, then some collisions with other pedestrians are to be expected. For less than twenty bucks a month - that's with Mr. Pink's discount factored in, natch - WTF Pass Mobile members have access to more than one thousand exclusive videos. If that isn't distracting, well... hold on a sec...
MILFs and cougars are all well and good if you're looking for an experienced hand to teach you a thing or ten, but if you feel you've got some sexual wisdom to impart, perhaps you'd be more comfortable in the company of an 18-year-old slut-to-be. Well, if such ladies are of interest to you, you'll be amazed at the beauties to be seen stripping, masturbating, and fucking both each other and some lucky fellows on 18 X Girls. With a distinctly European style and bright, clear HD videos, 18 X Girls is a promising porn site.
Short, blonde, and full of exuberant, adventurous sexual energy, Aaliyah Love is unmistakably a dynamic pornstar worth your attention. Her official Open Life website, also (predictably) called Aaliyah Love offers High Definition solo, lesbian, and, well, very strange scenes of sexual entertainment. Want to see Aaliyah diddle herself poolside? How about a strap-on dicking from a girlfriend? Fancy some insanity role-playing complete with straightjacket and hood? You got it. (I told you she was adventurous.)
