Well, it finally happened.
My beautiful bride caught her first fish on a fly.
Life is good.
We hadn't planned on going flyfishing. In fact, we were just coming off a rather difficult week of appointments, surgeries and hard-to-manage cases and were both of the mind set that Sunday afternoon ought to be a little more on the mellow side.
However, as we were driving home from church, I casually mentioned that it was such a beautiful day that we ought not waste it by being indoors. I also casually mentioned that Craig Regional Park was a very peaceful and relaxing place with lots of trees and open spaces…and a wonderful little lake and stream.
I also casually mentioned that the new Sonic drive-in restaurant was nearby.
Ka-ching – done deal.
So, we ended up in Craig park and, wouldn't you know it, I just happened to have not one but two fly rods in the back of the car.
The wind was a little too stiff for the novice fly-caster so we headed over to the little creek which is flanked by trees and is more protected.
Now, I'm only mildly bragging but the little Mrs. picked up the fundamentals of roll casting like the proverbial duck on a June bug. Before too long I moved several dozen yards upstream and essentially left her to her own devices so that she could develop her technique.
Before long, she yelped and, sure enough, there was the tell-tale twitching of the rod tip signaling a fish on. After a short battle, she landed the little Bluegill and lipped it like she'd done it a hundred times.
When I asked her how she knew to do that she said she learned it from all of the pictures on our web site.
Oh! I guess somebody is paying attention.
Anyway, she went on to land two more little 'gills before things started to slow done.
We moved up and down the bank but could not find the fish anymore.
I fished a little more but she decided to call it a day and laid down in the grass to mull over her success and enjoy the long, warm rays of the afternoon sun.
Now, I am not exaggerating when I say there was the picture of heaven right there in that park that day; My bride, stretched out on the fresh green grass of Spring alongside a quaint babbling creek, highlighted by the golden rays of the sun, with her fly rod next to her…
…Dang, life is good.
I love this addiction called urban fly fishin'.

I wish I could get my wife to fish!
Sounds like a lot of happy coincidences made for a great day. Congrats.

Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is helping his team win MLB's TV ratings race. / Denny Medley, US Presswire
Yes, eyeballs flock to winning team. And losers turn off TV viewers
But in a SportsBusiness Daily compilation of local MLB TV ratings on regional sports networks, there are some surprises. Oakland has clinched a playoff berth, but in averaging 1.27% of local TV households has third-lowest MLB team ratings -- ahead of only the L.A. Angels and Houston Astros.
Among the highlights and lowlights:
Playoff-bound Detroit has the highest local ratings -- 9.13% of local households -- followed by Cincinnati at 8.64%.
With a disappointing season, Boston's ratings are off 18.4% -- but in averaging 6.43% of local households the team's ratings rank fifth overall.
Washington's turnaround produced the biggest jump in team ratings -- 74% -- followed by the L.A. Dodgers -- 70.2%
The biggest ratings drop: Philadelphia, whose TV box office is off 38.6%
Viewership for the N.Y. Yankees was down 10.6%. But in averaging 286,000 homes per game, it still draws MLB's biggest local audiences.
Spice rack: Hilarious. Big 'n tall NFL players feel new Nike uniforms make them look, well, heavy. ... Bob Costas back on MLB playoff calls for the first time since 2000. ... NBC Sports Channel main winter action is locked-out NHL. And losing that comes during a rough patch for the sports cable channel. ... Coming next year: Fox will live-stream its NASCAR races and NFL games. ... NFL quarterback Drew Brees is an investor in the new Swink.tv, a new online service in which anybody send in video of youth sports and, for $30, have it converted in searchable specific clips -- like a compilation of just your own kids best plays.

Rihanna Gets Political In Her New 'American Oxygen' Video
April 30th, 2010
Hello, my beautiful babies! It's Eddie Della Siepe here, from Video On Trial and Love Court. My MuchMusic cohort Darrin Rose (the one with the beard – he's rugged, son!) and I are taking our Jury Duty 2: Even Jurier stand up tour to Oakville, Ontario May 6-8th!
I did a little research, and found out that Oakville is more than just immaculate mansions and malls – they have a Waterfront Festival! And it was headlined by Karl Wolf and Danny Fernandes last year!
Unfortunately, due to lack of profits the festival is canceled for 2010. So I've compiled a list of Canadian artists that would have been great to perform at this year's (non-existent) Waterfront festival:
1) Justin Bieber – This kid's on fire! He's everywhere. Even my mom knows who he is! I'm sure all those Oakville girls would pay anything for a chance to see/touch his boyish hair helmet. (I only make fun because I'm jealous! Touch my hair, Oakville!)
2) Stereos – They're a huge band, they're Canadian, and any guy who uses Autotune while rocking my mom's haircut is okay with me!
3) David Guetta – I know he's not Canadian, but he'll do a song with anyone. So I suggest a duet with Canada's Lady Antebellum. They're a country band, and he looks like a slimy techno/dance version of Owen Wilson! What could be better?!
City of Oakville, get some funding and let's get music back in the burbs!
If you're in Oakville, hopefully you can make it out to our show! Check out our other tour dates here and follow us on Facebook: click here for Darrin and click here for Eddie.
Upcoming tour dates:
May 21-22: Kitchener, ON, Yuk Yuks Comedy Club
May 29: Sudbury Comedy Festival
June 3-5 Niagara Falls, On, Yuk Yuks Comedy Club
June 9-13th Toronto, ON, Yuk Yuks Comedy Club
To reserve tickets for a show , call (800) 899-9136.

Special Olympics Chairman & CEO Timothy Shriver provided a keynote address at the 5th UNESCO World-Sport-Ministers Conference. He shared the impact the Special Olympics Movement is having throughout the world, especially in developing nations.
Berlin, Germany -- Special Olympics Chairman & CEO Timothy Shriver provided a keynote address at this week's 5th UNESCO World-Sport-Ministers Conference (MINEPS V). He joined German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President of the International Olympic Committee Jacques Rogge, Chairman of the International Paralympics Committee Sir Phil Craven, and Director-General of UNESCO Irina Bokova at the Opening Session of the conference. One goal of the conference was to establish the 'Declaration of Berlin', which, as one of three key areas, also included Sport as a Fundamental Right for All.
During his keynote address, Shriver shared the impact the Special Olympics Movement is having throughout the world, especially in developing nations. Serving the largest disability population in the world, Special Olympics has been influencing policy for people with intellectual disabilities through sports, but also addressing health, education and community building needs throughout the world.
"This week's UNICEF State of the World's Children report chronicles an epidemic of discrimination against children with all disabilities and in most cases the most severe discrimination is against children with intellectual disabilities," shared Shriver during his address. "We cannot talk about equality. We cannot pretend to project the idea of equality in large stadiums and large conferences. The hard work of equality will come when we commit to a citizen level infrastructure, serious political enterprise, and partnerships with the private sector to reach the most vulnerable children and adults. Otherwise, our words are meaningless."
Special Olympics is raising the awareness around serious issues facing people with intellectual disabilities and addressing them head on through sports, health, education and community building programs in more than 170 countries around the world. Earlier this year, world leaders from government, business, education, economic and social development, media and civil society convened in PyeongChang, Republic of Korea at the Special Olympics Global Development Summit on Ending the Cycle of Poverty and Exclusion for People with Intellectual Disabilities. This Summit, the first of its kind focusing solely on people with intellectual disabilities, examined the urgent needs of the largest disability population throughout the world and took place as part of the world's largest sports and humanitarian event, Special Olympics World Winter Games PyeongChang 2013 and was co-hosted by Special Olympics and the Special Olympics World Winter Games Organizing Committee PyeongChang 2013. Attendees included Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, MP, Chairperson, National League for Democracy, Burma (Myanmar), Her Excellency Joyce Banda, President of Malawi, Senator and Vice Minister Jan McLucas, Government of Australia, The Honorable Wilfried Lemke, Special Envoy, the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace, Mr. Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO, The Coca-Cola Company, and NBA Legend Mr. Dikembe Mutumbo,
During his time in Berlin, Shriver also met with First Lady of Germany Daniela Schadt to thank her for her new patronage of Special Olympics Germany.
Special Olympics is an international organization that changes lives through the power of sport by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to more than four million athletes in over 170 countries in all regions of the world, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and other related programs. Special Olympics now take place every day, changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities all over the world, from community playgrounds and ball fields in every small neighborhood's backyard to World Games. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and experience joy and friendship.

So those celebs are Canadian, eh?

There's more to Canada than hockey, as these celebrities, including birthday boy and Vancouver native Ryan Reynolds, remind us of all our neighbors to the north have to offer.

Great value and quality product! Love the sink color and texture. Plan it install in guest bath with bronze fixtures. Overall very happy!
These vessel sinks look exactly like the picture. They go perfect in our bathroom. I would recommend for the money.
I used this sink in a guest bath with granite counters and bronze faucet. Love the copper/gold metallic look. I had a plumber install it and had no issues.
I have this sink on a natural stone counter top with venetian bronze faucets. The metallic look of the sink is a beautiful contrast with the counter top. I have a granite counter top in another bathroom that when placing this sink on the granite which is more beige with heavy yellow and black veins I didn't like the metallic sink against it. If you had a dark granite that was mostly black or very dark it would look fantastic but if it is a lighter granite I wouldn't recommend this sink.
We were wavering between two sinks, and the deciding factor was that this listing said it was 3/4" thick, whereas the other was 1/2". That turned out to be wrong. It would be hard to measure without calipers, but it certainly appears to be no more than 1/2" thick. Other than that, we're very pleased with this stylish sink. It looks quite elegant in our half bath, which is the one most often used by visitors. Glass tends to show hard water marks more than some other materials. We keep an extra washcloth in the bathroom and dry it off frequently, which has kept it looking perfect. Be sure your installer pays attention to the directions about the size of the drain hole. Ours had to enlarge the hole after installing the granite because he just assumed the drain was a certain size. I don't know if it's that unusual, but I didn't enjoy having granite dust in the house, so I thought I'd give others a heads up. You'll need to also be sure that the size of the drain you buy matches the sink.

Fubi folding bike has all the characteristics of a "regular" bike
Article Summary
Sick and tired of having his bike stolen while studying in Stockholm, Ulf Laxström decided to design a foldable bike that was easy to store inside, but retained the functionality and styling of standard full-sized bicycles. His solution was the Fubi (an abbreviation for "Future bike") that Laxström says has all the characteristics of a "regular" bike, with its ability to fold up just an added bonus.

Created in 1987, the European and Mediterranean Major Hazards Agreement (EUR-OPA) is a platform for co-operation between European and Southern Mediterranean countries in the field of major natural and technological disasters. Its field of action covers the knowledge of hazards, risk prevention, risk management, post-crisis analysis and rehabilitation.
our last publication
Towards more disaster resilient societies
The EUR-OPA contribution
The EUR-OPA Agreement has long contributed to and continues to support the global efforts on Disaster Risk Reduction, in particular the four priority areas of the United Nations' Post-2015 Framework to be adopted at the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, 14-18 March 2015, Sendai, Japan: risk assessment, risk governance, resilience to and preparedness for disasters.
EUR-OPA Action Plan 2011-2015
The EUR-OPA Action Plan 2011-2015 was adopted at the 12th Ministerial Session of the Agreement, held in Saint Petersburg (Russian Federation) on 28 September 2010. Its objective is to provide a political and technical instrument containing priorities and guidelines for the action of the EUR-OPA Agreement for a period of five years improving its effectiveness in a context of moderate financial resources and increased vulnerability of European and Mediterranean societies.
Your contribution is important
Toolkit on Disability and Disaster Preparedness
In May 2014 the Council of Europe circulated a questionnaire aiming at collecting good practice on "inclusive disaster risk management". The Toolkit, presented at the conference in Brussels on 4 and 5 December 2014, is a draft compilation of the answers received so far. Taking into account that the Toolkit will be constantly up-dated with new examples, the EUR-OPA Agreement encourages member States of the Council of Europe to share further examples of good practice by using the attached template.

I am a gynecologist and geneticist who specializes in the care of patients who may have an inherited predisposition to cancer. I evaluate and treat all hereditary cancer syndromes, including those that cause an increased risk of breast, ovarian, colon, uterine, thyroid, and other cancers. My clinical areas of expertise include cancer risk counseling, screening for and prevention of inherited cancers, and providing gynecologic care to cancer patients.
My research interests include: The effect of genetic counseling on the evaluation and treatment of women with an inherited predisposition to cancer; the effect of risk-reducing surgery for the prevention of breast and ovarian cancer in women with inherited predisposition to these cancers; and the identification of both genetic and environmental markers that may allow risk-reduction strategies to be tailored to individual patients at increased risk for cancer.

Sutton Hoo and Europe, AD 300–1100
- 1 June 2014 — 1 June 2016 *on now
The centuries AD 300–1100 witnessed great change in Europe. The Roman Empire broke down in the west, but continued as the Byzantine Empire in the east. People, objects and ideas travelled across the continent, while Christianity and Islam emerged as major religions.
By 1100, the precursors of several modern states had developed. Europe as we know it today was taking shape. Room 41 gives an overview of the period and its peoples. Its unparalleled collections range from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea, and from North Africa to Scandinavia.
The gallery's centrepiece is the Anglo-Saxon ship burial at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk – one of the most spectacular and important discoveries in British archaeology.
Suitable for
- Family friendly
Connecting continents: Indian Ocean trade and exchange
- 27 November 2014 — 31 May 2015 *on now
For thousands of years, the Indian Ocean has been a space through which people, objects and ideas have circulated. The navigable monsoon winds enabled merchants to travel between Africa, the Middle East and Asia, exchanging valuable commodities such as textiles, spices and ceramics. From early coastal trade between the great ancient civilisations of the Indus Valley and Mesopotamia through to the heyday of European East India Companies and to the present, the Indian Ocean has remained a dynamic economic maritime zone.
This display presents objects from across different sections of the British Museum's collection, including a 19th-century boat from Indonesia, created entirely from cloves and a Roman necklace made from sapphires and garnets, to tell this long and fascinating history of global interaction.
Shifting Patterns: Pacific barkcloth clothing
- 5 February — 16 August 2015 *on now
Discover a selection of clothing from the Pacific made of bark cloth. Including a myriad of styles and designs, these garments are used to wrap, drape and adorn the body, reflecting the ongoing relevance of barkcloth as a tradition.
Suitable for
- Any age
Bonaparte & the British - prints and propaganda in the age of Napoleon
- 5 February — 16 August 2015 *on now
This exhibition will focus on the printed propaganda that either reviled or glorified Napoleon Bonaparte, on both sides of the English Channel. It explores how his formidable career coincided with the peak of political satire as an art form.
2015 marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo – the final undoing of brilliant French general and emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821). The exhibition will include works by British and French satirists who were inspired by political and military tensions to exploit a new visual language combining caricature and traditional satire with the vigorous narrative introduced by Hogarth earlier in the century.
Napoleon the Great
- 19 June 2015 6:30-7:30pm
Award-winning historian and writer, Andrew Roberts, talks on Napoleon: military genius, astute leader of men, and one of the world's greatest soldier-statesmen.
Roberts' Napoleon the Great is the first one-volume biography to take advantage of the recent publication of Napoleon's thirty-three thousand letters, which radically transform our understanding of his character and motivation.
Roberts shares some of his research for the book that took him to fifty-three of Napoleon's sixty battle sites and even included the long boat trip to St. Helena, the site of Napoleon's final exile and death.

Martine & Stephen
Home Page
Stephen and Martine Batchelor are Buddhist teachers and authors, who live in South West France and conduct meditation retreats and seminars worldwide. They both trained as monastics for ten years in traditional Buddhist centers in Asia, and now present a lay and secular approach to Buddhist practice, largely based on the early teachings of the Buddha as found in the Pali Canon.
This website includes written, audio, photographic and video materials that offer a broad introduction to their work. In addition, it provides their public teaching schedule, which we seek to keep as up-to-date as possible. A contact email address is also supplied, and we welcome enquiries.
While most of the information is in English, a French language section presents a number of transcribed talks, as well as a link to Terre d'Eveil, the Buddhist group in Paris for whom they serve as guiding teachers.
