So what good is a fishing report?
Michael Condon
So what good is the information in this or any other fishing report?
A good friend of mine raised this question after spending a few days fishing at Lake Almanor.
He hadn't done all that well. He even went so far as to suggest that this report is a "Chamber of Commerce fishing report." Ouch!
Let me put that accusation into perspective.
He was talking smack. That is what guys that fish together do, at least most of the guys I fish with.
Smack is just part of the game. Good smack requires wit, imagination, and it is a sign of friendship. You don't talk smack to strangers. (Notice there is no mention of maturity or intelligence in that explanation.)
Part of the smack process is that when someone dishes you smack, you are obligated to dish some back.
It is similar to exchanging gifts at Christmas time. You want the gift you give to be at least as good as the one you receive.
So I told him that the information in the fishing report was intended for, and only useful by, those who actually knew how to catch fish. Checkmate.
Setting the venerable traditions of smack aside, my friend raised a legitimate question: How do you use this information?
Here are a few thoughts:
By the time you read a fishing report, a few days have gone by from when the information was gathered. What was working a few days ago may not work tomorrow, especially with the rapidly changing weather conditions we are seeing. The information provides a starting point, but you may need to make adjustments to be successful. The ability to make smart adjustments is what makes for a smart angler.
Most of the information comes from fishing guides and tackle dealers. They have a business to promote.
I don't worry too much about that. They go into this business because they love the sport, not because it's a great way to get rich.
They are generally eager to share what they know just for the sake of sharing. They are either on the water nearly every day, or talking to those who are. That makes them the best source of information.
I "field verify" the information as often as I can, although not as often as I would like. (This is a very demanding responsibility and I take it seriously!)
I certainly don't catch as many fish as the guides do, but I believe I catch more because I tap into their knowledge.
Our lakes and streams are as numerous as they are large. Just knowing where to start can be intimidating. A fishing report can help with that.
If you follow the advice in a fishing report and it is not working, adjust your technique or change your location.
There are no guarantees in fishing. That is what makes it the challenge it is.
What follows are some suggested starting points for your next fishing outing. Give them a try. But remember this: there are no guarantees. Just go out and enjoy the setting and have fun.
Stream fishing
Most streams are improving, but still running high and cold for this time of year. Fly hatches are sparse at best.
Hamilton Branch and the North Fork of the Feather River above Lake Almanor are now open.
The better water will likely be in the higher reaches of these streams. The same is true of the Middle Fork of the Feather. The water from Graeagle upstream looks the most fishable but downstream is improving too.
With the water still cold, and fly hatches sparse, whether you are tossing flies, worms or spinners, fishing deep will likely work best.
Lake Davis
According to guide Jon Baiocchi the water has warmed up into the high 50 degree range. Water clarity is an issue in some parts of the lake but not everywhere. Look for the warmer and clearer water.
The lake level is very high and the newly submerged areas have fish scattered searching for food.
Concentrations of fish have been found at the north end of the lake, Freeman Creek and the first and second ledge off Cow Creek, according to Jon.
Hatches are sparse and will remain so until we get multiple days of warmer weather.
The best producing flies lately have been blood midge pupae in size 10 or 12, and coco midge pupae in size 18. Jay Fair Wiggle Tails in brown and olive are an effective searching pattern.
Fish have been found at all depths throughout the lake.
Lake Almanor
According to Doug Neal of Almanor Fishing Adventures, there are many spots on the lake that are "turning on."
(While that may be generally true, many spots also "turn off" as the fish move from one area to another in search of feed.)
A few weeks ago the east shore seemed to be the place to be. More recently the west shore has turned on.
Mid to late morning has been a productive time, although longer days with more sunlight will eventually shift prime time to earlier in the morning.
Most of the fish appear to be feeding on midge larvae, and tend to be shallow.
Fly anglers will do well with midge patterns while trollers seem to be having success with scented Speedy Shiners, especially in red and gold. Threaded crawlers are also producing.
Try the west shore from the Forest Service boat ramp north. Start out about 100 yards off shore. If that doesn't work, move farther off shore but continue to keep your bait between 8 and 15 feet deep. That is what worked for me last time I was on the lake.
Butt Lake
I think this lake is our local sleeper. It used to be well known for trophy-sized trout.
It was drained several years ago so the dam could be repaired. Conventional wisdom is that it has not returned to its former glory. I can't dispute that based on my recent experience there.
It is a very nutrient rich lake and the fish have been re-introduced. I expect that it will very soon start producing some exceptional fish.
I haven't heard any reports yet, but the area near the powerhouse opened Memorial Day weekend and that usually produces some good fish this time of year.
The main draw for the fish is the pond smelt that get pulled down from Almanor. Try smelt imitations in low light conditions for the best fishing.

W.Va. WWII vet gets awards for service
Saturday - 5/4/2013, 3:38pm EDT
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- A World War II veteran from West Virginia who served as an agent behind enemy lines in Austria is being recognized for his service.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller presented 10 medals to Frederick Mayer, of Charles Town, on Saturday.
Mayer posed as a German officer in Austria. Despite being captured and tortured, Mayer helped negotiate the surrender of Innsbruck in 1945.
Among the awards that Rockefeller presented to Mayer were the Prisoner of War Medal, awarded for honorable service while being held in enemy hands, and the World War II Victory Medal.
Rockefeller's office says parts of Mayer's story are being told in a new film called "The Real Inglorious Bastards." It's scheduled to premiere at the 7th Annual GI Film Festival on Tuesday in Arlington, Va.

Correia aims to build on solid Dodgers debut vs. SD
Padres counter with Kennedy in NL West matchup in Los Angeles
Kevin Correia's debut with the Dodgers last week went about as well as he could have hoped. Now he has to follow up that performance against one of his former teams in Tuesday's series opener vs. the Padres.
Correia outpitched an All-Star in his debut for the Dodgers last Monday, hurling six innings of one-run ball with just four hits and one walk allowed with five strikeouts to earn the win against Atlanta and Julio Teheran.
"I haven't had that feeling I don't think since being called up," he said. "I come in and I have a locker next to the best pitcher on the planet [Clayton Kershaw]. I couldn't be happier with the spot that I'm in right now."
When he was acquired by Los Angeles from Minnesota on Aug. 9, the Dodgers were expecting to slot Correia into the bullpen. But plans changed after Hyun-Jin Ryu went on the disabled list with a strained right glute, so Correia will be in the rotation for the foreseeable future.
Correia has already faced the Padres, whom he played for in 2009-10, a couple times this season. The right-hander started for Minnesota twice in four meetings between the teams -- including his final start for the Twins on Aug. 6, in which he allowed three runs on five hits in six innings. He had another quality start against San Diego in May in which he struck out a season-high six batters.
Ian Kennedy will get the ball for San Diego. He's been solid in his last three starts since missing a turn in the rotation with a minor oblique injury, never giving up more than three runs nor pitching past the sixth -- something he hasn't done since July 12.
Kennedy, who's on pace to top 200 strikeouts for the first time in his career, said he finally felt like he could let loose on his fastball in his last start after being cautious not to tweak his oblique in his previous two outings. He earned a win against Colorado on Wednesday with six innings pitched and three runs allowed with eight strikeouts.
"My secondary pitches weren't there, [so] I tried to rely on the fastball command," Kennedy said. "I made some mistakes with my changeup, gave up a couple runs that way. But for the most part, physically, I was pretty happy how I felt. Best I've felt in a while."
Dodgers: Ramirez expected to return Sunday
Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez is expected to return from the disabled list after the minimum 15 days, manager Don Mattingly said on Sunday, adding that Ramirez is hitting at 90-percent effort as his strained right oblique has continued to heal.
What position Ramirez returns to next Sunday, though, remains a bit of a mystery. He took ground balls at third base on Saturday as soon as third baseman Juan Uribe was placed on the disabled list with a pulled right hamstring, though Mattingly downplayed the possibility of a long-term switch.
"He took some balls in center field, too," Mattingly said of Ramirez. "I think he likes to make everybody raise their eyes. There's no real talk of [moving him] right now."
Ramirez, who is a free agent after this season, has resisted past overtures to move to third base, both with the Dodgers and Marlins.
While Ramirez has been out, Miguel Rojas has started most of the games at shortstop, with Darwin Barney starting on Sunday.
Padres: Wrist tendon tear sidelines Alonso for 2014
Manager Bud Black said on Sunday that Yonder Alonso's season is finished after tests revealed the first baseman has a torn tendon in the top of his right forearm.
Alonso, who missed 30 games from late June into late July with right wrist tendinitis, was removed from Tuesday's game when he felt a "pop" in his right forearm while preparing to hit. He was placed on the disabled list with a right forearm strain, but after meeting with doctors in San Diego on Saturday, the prognosis proved to be worse.
While Alonso will miss the remainder of the season with the tendon tear, the next step remains uncertain.
"There's a chance of a potential surgery, he's weighing those options now," Black said. "Collectively with the doctors and Yonder, he's working through some decisions."
Tommy Medica started at first base in the first two games in St. Louis and Jake Goebbert started the final two. The two are expected to split time there the remainder of the season.
Worth noting
• Following a rehab outing Wednesday at Triple-A in which he threw 68 pitches, Andrew Cashner is expected to throw around 80 for El Paso on Monday. That will likely be his final hurdle before returning to San Diego after being on the DL since mid-June with soreness in his right shoulder.
• The Dodgers have the Majors' best road record (40-26), but are just 30-30 at home.

5 Ways to Go Green & Save Green
Tweet |
It's time to go green and save some green! There are so many ways to save money while being environmentally friendly at the same time and I wanted to share a few of those with you today. Be sure to add your own tips too!
5 Ways to Go Green & Save Green
1. Share Coupons: If your neighbors do not coupon, ask if you can snag their coupons! Many of your neighbors may set their recycle bins outside, if you see coupons, ask & grab! The key here is asking or you'll likely become one of "those" neighbors. Of course, be sure to recycle the coupons you don't use.
2. Recyclebank: Sign up for a free membership and earn points for taking basic steps towards going green. You'll then earn amazing rewards like coupons for your efforts!
3. Reusable Bags: This one wins the "duh" award with going green and saving money because we all know about it! Simply take your own shopping bags and earn money off when you use them, typically .05 or .10 per bag. Every store is different so you'll have to ask about the savings. The hardest part of this one is remembering to bring the bags!
4. Go Electronic: Have you tried SavingStar? You can upload coupons to your rewards card for stores like CVS, Homeland, Kroger and more! It's easy and it is a no-clip process. Just pick your coupons and swipe your card!
5. Staples Rewards: Want to know my favorite rewards program? Staples. Yep, that's right. You can earn $2 per ink cartridge you recycle at Staples in the form of Staples Rewards. I recycle my cartridges and everyone else's too so I earn $20 per month in rewards that I can use to purchase anything in the store. HUGE benefits!! I love this program!
There you have it, these are easy ways to save some green while going green. If you have any tips, please share them with us!
Here is the video that airs today on News on 6, News 9 , KMOV, Kens5, WGEM and KTXD:

Oakland Food Policy Council Statement on Urban Agriculture
Statement on Urban Agriculture
April 2011
The Oakland Food Policy Council has identified support for and expansion of urban agriculture (UA) through local policy and coordination as one of our top goals.
Broadly, UA encompasses the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers or herbs, and/or raising animals and livestock in cities. Oakland is already home to a thriving community of urban farmers and gardeners who contribute to our city's culture, health, environment, and economic vitality.
However, our planning process identified a number of areas where Oakland residents could benefit from clearer, updated, and streamlined local policies related to urban agriculture – especially in our zoning code. The widely publicized case of Ghost Town Farm, which was recently cited for lack of compliance with Oakland's current zoning codes, highlights the need for an open dialogue about what sort of regulatory framework for UA activities we want to have here in Oakland. We would like to use this opportunity to generate public discussion about policy barriers and opportunities related to UA and to continue to urge the City to expedite the revision of existing zoning that in some cases hinders UA in Oakland. Most important, we are interested in promoting a positive and productive dialogue where our policymakers, city staff, and residents can work together to chart a course for the future of UA.
We have identified two priority areas where we recommend policy changes:
1. Update zoning for UA to include a broader and more diverse range of food growing practices. Under the most recent citywide zoning update that is about to take effect, "Crop and Animal Raising Agricultural Activities" are allowed in all residential and commercial zoning districts with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The OFPC is working with the Planning Department to draft new UA definitions and amend the UA sections of the Zoning code in order to both clarify and streamline how different types of UA activities are regulated. Instead of one blanket policy that applies to all kinds of UA regardless of scale or intensity of activities, we are proposing definitions (and appropriate operating standards) for three types of UA that will help determine where UA can be practiced in Oakland:
- Residential UA is any form of plant and animal raising activity on a private residential property by an individual or family with the primary purpose of household consumption (regarding sales of Residential UA surplus, see the next point below). We propose that residential gardens be allowed as-of-right (with no additional permits or fees required) in all residential zones.
- Civic UA must be organized and operated by a Community Group, which may include local civic associations, public agencies, non-profit agencies, gardening clubs, homeowners associations, or even a group formed for the purpose of establishing a garden. We propose that civic gardens be allowed in all residential zones, and in most commercial zones (it may be appropriate for some commercial areas, such as our downtown, to require a CUP).
- Commercial UA use is distinguished from Civic UA by the intensity of site cultivation, the size of the site cultivated, and the primary purpose of the site's use, which is growing vegetables, plants, flowers or for sale (including for-profit and non-profit enterprises). We propose that commercial UA be permitted in Commercial and Industrial Zones, and in residential zones with a CUP.
We welcome comments from the public regarding these definitions and zoning regulations.
2. Update zoning for sales of raw agricultural products to allow for small-scale entrepreneurial activities. Currently, selling raw, unprocessed agricultural products such as produce is regulated by a number of different laws, including Oakland's zoning code (briefly, where selling can take place) and by city business permitting and licensing (who is allowed to sell). Generally, commercial activity (like selling produce grown onsite) is not allowed under current code in residential zones.
The OFPC supports modifying our code to allow some sales of raw agricultural products in residential zones. Prohibiting produce sales in residential zones may limit both the healthy food access benefits of urban agriculture and the small-scale entrepreneurial opportunities that it provides to residents. A number of cities, such as San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA, Cleveland, OH, and Kansas City, MO have recently relaxed prohibitions on sales in residential areas and allowed gardeners to offer their bounty for-sale with appropriate operating standards in place. Additionally, we recommend that any CUP process take into account size and scale of the UA operation (considering such issues as gross sales), and offer a tiered cost structure.
In addition to the priority policy recommendations above, there are several other areas where updated policies could benefit Oakland's urban farmers and gardeners, including raising animals and livestock. For example, Seattle's new urban agriculture zoning increased the number of chickens permitted per household and added other allowed animals, including potbelly pigs. The OFPC also strongly supports the integration of animals into urban food production systems because they provide products that can improve the diets of Oakland's residents (e.g. fresh milk, honey, eggs, and meat). Some urban farmers collect wool and goat hair for cottage industries. Finally, manure is an important fertilizer source for sustainable, ecological food production that is not reliant on petroleum-based chemical fertilizers.
The time is ripe to craft regulations that protect and expand UA, while ensuring that it will consistently be practiced in ways that are compatible with surrounding uses. The OFPC has already compiled suggested zoning code language (including a matrix of zones and UA activities) which we have shared with the City of Oakland Planning & Zoning Department, and we encourage you to contact your City Councilmember to encourage them to support these important policy changes.
The OFPC is prepared to help facilitate this dialogue in any way needed. We, along with all those who have signed this letter, believe that the recommendations outlined above will make for a healthier, more vibrant Oakland.

I am a resident at the uptown apartments across from the art park. I have been thinking that maybe the bare land that remains fenced in across the street could be an urban organic garden to serve the community. It would also provide a place to locally compost and an educational activity that community children could become involved in. I am not alone in wanting to see more greenery/parks incorporated into our changing urban environment.

Protecting your skin from harsh UVA/UVB rays usually requires a bit more thought than simply spraying a sunscreen product on five minutes before running outside. After all, most sunscreen products need time to become fully absorbed by the skin before they actually begin the task of protecting your cells from the sun's harshest rays. Plus, the length of time that your skin is going to be exposed to the sun might come into play when choosing your sun protection. It goes without saying that you might also want to select a sun protection product with your age in mind, selecting one that offers anti-aging ingredients.

When you use sunscreen products, such as Yonka In Sun formulas, you help to keep your skin hydrated and sheltered from the sun. This protection aids in keeping your skin comfortable, while also preventing it from experiencing painful sunburn.

Yonka In Sun products provide a strong defense against the sun, using natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin.
Offering exceptional sun protection for your skin, Yonka Ultra Protection is formulated with natural fruit and plant extracts that are kind to your skin.

Pevonia Botanica At-A-Glance
Strengths: One outstanding eye cream and retinol product for lips; a couple of very good cleansers and toners; products don't take everything-but-kitchen-sink approach to ingredients.
Weaknesses: Pervasive use of irritating synthetic and natural ingredients; no sunscreens included as part of daytime skin-care routine; sole sunscreen contains sensitizing preservative; no skin-lightening or BHA options; lack of effective options to manage acne; jar packaging; hokey claims that don't have substantiated proof.
Pevonia is a spa/salon line of skin-care products that has been around since 1991 and, like countless other spa lines, speaks of its unification of natural ingredients with advanced scientific technology. Its vast range of products showcases all manner of gimmicky ingredients, including caviar, numerous essential oils, marine DNA, and products said to oxygenate skin. Many of their products make mention of being triphase and homogenized. Although that may make them sound special, those terms are common to cosmetics chemists involved in mixing various ingredients. For example, many moisturizers (and emulsions in general) have multiple phases as they are being manufactured. One phase gets a certain blend of ingredients, those are mixed, and then the next phase is added. Hardly anything to brag about.
You may hear aestheticians selling Pevonia products speak of the outstanding results the products provide, all due to the company's fastidious selection of holistic, natural ingredients. It can be a spellbinding speech, but the reality is that many of the natural ingredients Pevonia uses (including lemon oil and arnica) are documented problems for skin, and many synthetic ingredients are included and some are also problematic. Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate and methylisothiazolinone aren't the least bit natural, and their inclusion in these products is further proof that Pevonia's self-proclaimed title of skin-care leaders in the spa industry is on par with McDonald's spearheading vegetarianism. Of course, the overall message is to not let yourself get caught up in any cosmetic company's grandstanding until you have examined the proof behind the proclamations.
As expected, not everything is plant-infused smoke and mirrors with Pevonia. They deserve credit for their mostly succinct ingredient lists and do have a handful of remarkable products that are, surprisingly, fragrance-free. This is definitely a line to shop very carefully, and note that none of their routines are recommended because not a single one of them has a group of problem-free products (and all of them omit sunscreen, yet several products claim to offer UV protection, which is dishonest and misleading).

EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SCOTT SUTTELL Could the West Side Market do better in private hands?By SCOTT SUTTELL 11:58 am, November 27, 2012
Reason, the libertarian publication that in 2010 launched a documentary series with Drew Carey designed to "save Cleveland," doesn't seem too happy with the city these days.
The protracted battle over Forest City's ambitious Atlantic Yards development in Brooklyn, N.Y., has become too much for many community activists there, prompting many of them to give up the fight, according to this New York Times story.
The British government on Monday selected current Bank of Canada chief Mark Carney as the next leader of its central bank, which prompted The Wall Street Journal to muse about whether the Federal Reserve might ever be helmed by a non-American citizen.
The Cleveland Indians land in the No. 2 on this 247WallSt.com list of 13 professional sports teams "running out of fans." You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio.

Visitors to the U.S. International Pavilion at Paris Air Show 2013 will find 250 organizations from 34 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia. Displaying the latest advances in technology and American-quality goods and services, the pavilion area occupies 4,100 square meters (44,132 square feet) in Hall 3. It is 14% larger than the show's last edition in 2011. Only the French Pavilion is larger.
Visitors will find fresh, exciting ideas brought to the world aerospace stage by mostly small/medium enterprises (SMEs). Many of these SMEs come as part of larger state pavilions, including Alabama, Arizona, Best of New England (Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont), Oregon, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington.
U.S. Pavilion exhibitors and their guests can meet and relax at the Meeting Point, D138 in Hall 3.
For the first time, during the public weekend (June 22 and 23) Kallman Worldwide will transform a large part of the pavilion into "Aérogare (Terminal) USA," a hands-on multi-media experience introducing visitors to the best the USA has to offer in the areas of aviation, education, and tourism.
This 2013 edition marks the tenth time that Kallman Worldwide is organizing the U.S. International Pavilion at the Paris Air Show.

The act of taking one of a girl's fake eyelash off during rough crazy sex and putting it over the upper lip, like der Fuhrer's mustache, and doing the Nazi salute while saying, "Heil Hitler!"
I saw a funny porn where the girl was totally into getting DP'ed that she didn't notice one of the guys pulling a Heil Hitler with one of her eyelashes.

Alberta | Michigan | Minnesota | Texas | Indiana | South Dakota | Nebraska | Kansas
Most Americans have never heard of the Alberta tar sands, yet it is one of the largest and most destructive projects on Earth. This little-known industrial mega-project is creating an ongoing environmental disaster in Canada, and is now threatening to create one here in the United States.
Tar sands oil is mined from a black sticky substance called bitumen, found beneath the vast boreal forest in Alberta, Canada. To extract tar sands crude, oil companies clear-cut ancient forest, then strip mine the soil beneath it, using huge quantities of fresh water and natural gas to separate the oil from bitumen. The process leaves behind giant toxic lakes that are linked to abnormally high rates of cancer in neighboring communities and are large enough to be seen from space.
But it doesn't stop there. The oil industry is expanding facilities to process this toxic oil here in the United States through a network of refineries and pipelines. Public health in several states is under threat from dramatic increases in refining pollution, and massive pipelines are planned to cross the United States' largest freshwater aquifer, which supplies one-third of our nation's agriculture. Communities in Alberta have long been speaking out about the damage tar sands poses to their health through water and air pollution.
Now, Americans from Minnesota to Houston are worried about Canada's tar sands expansion poisoning their water, destroying their farmland, and contaminating their air. Here, we profile thirteen people from across North America whose health and livelihoods are at risk as a result of toxic tar sands expansion.

6 Ways to Maintain Your Office Chair
Sitting in an office chair is pretty much inevitable for most of us that spend the majority of our days sitting and working in front of the computer. Most office chairs get put to good use, with some spending hours of overtime regularly as well as more time sitting in a chair than sleeping in a bed at night. If you are anything like me, you do not take time to consider just how much use you get out of your office chair, especially if you are sitting 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Those countless hours of use can add up and eventually wear down your chair. For most, this will happen sooner than expected especially if your chair is not properly taken care of. Cleaning and maintaining your office chair are key components to prolonging the life of your chair but it takes more than just a wipe down with a rag to keep your chair looking new. If you want to extend your office chair's life, save your money and the hassle of having to continuously purchase new chairs there are certain necessary steps to take to get more out of your chair.
- Purchase a Chair That is Built to Last - The easiest way to ensure that a chair will be designed to withstand years of use is to purchase a chair that is built to last. This is simple, if you are looking for a bargain chair at your nearest Staples or Office Depot, perhaps you will get a great price but in turn you will also be receiving a chair that is made of bargain components. In other words, it will not last you as long as you might expect and you will most likely need to purchase another new chair a year or two down the line. It actually makes more sense in the long run to spend more on a chair that will last ten years then to have to continuously purchase new chairs every year, and is less of a hassle.
- Look at the Manufacturer Warranty - Almost every office chair comes with a manufacturer warranty, and if they do not it is probably not worth your investment. It is crucial to read each manufacturer's warranty to determine if the chair of interest will be a worthwhile purchase. Find out what parts are warranted and for how long each component of the chair is warranted for. You can tell a lot by a manufacturer's warranty; if their parts are warranted for 10 years or have a lifetime warranty, this shows they are that confident in their product and construction of their chair that they are willing to take the risk of extending the warranty for multiple years. Remember when a part breaks on your office chair, that comes out of the manufacturer's funds to have to replace it which is why some warranties are very limited. It is important to keep in mind that all manufacturer's will warrant their seat fabrics for less time than their components, which is standard with everyone because this is the first part of all chairs to fade with time due to how often it gets rubbed/used. If you want to make certain that the fabric on your chair will not fade over time, try looking for a chair that has a higher grade fabric as an optionor opt for a vinyl/leather chair that tolerate a bit more use and abuse than fabric chairs.
- Clean Your Chair Regularly - Spills and stains are bound to happen as well as unpleasant order, which is why it is important to be proactive in cleaning your office chair regularly. A good upholstery cleaner will do the trick and keep your chair looking new for years. Keep your upholstery cleaner and a clean rag in a convenient location in case a spill happens. As soon as something is spilled, quickly use your upholstery cleaner blotting the stain with a clean rag before the stain has time to spread and set in the fabric. It is also possible to make your own fabric cleaner with warm water and a little detergent. Be careful to clean gently in order to avoid ruining or damaging the fabric. If you are accident prone, there is also the option to opt for a vinyl or leather office chair which would be much simpler to clean.
- Inspect the Chair Every 6 Months - Just like any other piece of machinery that gets used often, screws and bolts can become loose as time progresses. In order to avoid accidents, such as a chair collapsing or a part giving out, you should inspect your chair at least once every 6 months to make sure all parts and components of the chair are tightened. Look for defective casters/wheels, loose securing bolts, loose arms, broken mechanism, and evidence of cracks on the base of the chair from stress. If any of these parts are broken, contact your furniture dealer to see if these parts are under warranty. As aforementioned, if your chair has a good warranty, you should be able to get these replacement parts shipped to you for free.
- Do Not Lean Too Far Forward or Too Far Back - Be wary to not lean too far back in your chair so that the wheels or legs lift up from the floor. Leaning too far back can cause the chair to give from under you and cause structural damage, or loosen key components that can cause the chair to break or fall apart. Not only that, but you can hurt yourself as well! On the contrary, you also need to make sure not to lean too far forward by putting all your weight on the front of your chair. The chair can tip over leading to your chair getting damaged or even worse you getting hurt by falling onto your desk.
- Determine the Weight Rating - Standard office chairs are designed to hold up to 250 pounds. With the exception of specialty big and tall office chairs, with some that can hold up to 550 pounds, most office chairs you will find online can only hold a maximum weight of 250 pounds. If your weight requires a specialty chair, it is best to pay the extra money to get one otherwise your chair will not be under warranty and will exponentially increase the chances of it breaking much quicker. Big and tall office chairs are constructed with heavy-duty components, sometimes this even includes and all indestructible steel frame, and are specifically designed for tough environments. Every good office chair website will have a place on their product pages that explains the maximum capacity for each chair and if you are unable to find that information do not be afraid to ask.

How to Clean the Wheels of an Office Chair
Just about every office chair comes standard with wheels (also known as casters) which allow you to move freely from one place to another with ease. If you are anything like me and sit in your office chair for eight hours a day, your chair will inevitably get some mileage on it. You may not even be aware how often your chair rolls around, even if it is to simply adjust the way you are sitting, almost every movement your body makes requires the chair to move. When the wheels of your office chair stop working well, moving your chair may start to become a struggle rather than a convenience. Wheels often do not function properly because they become clogged with dirt, hair, dust, and other debris. Fortunately, cleaning the wheels of your chair is an easy task that does not require much work. It will also return your chair back to the enjoyable piece of furniture it once used to be.
The first step to getting your chair wheels squeaky clean again is to start by tipping your chair upside down, making the wheels of the chair stick up in the air. You may want to sit in another chair while beginning the cleaning process in order to avoid fatigue. If you are worried about getting your hands dirty come prepared by wearing latex gloves and have a trash bag readily available to throw away the debris as you go.
In order to remove larger debris, use a butter knife as your tool of choice to scrape them off. A butter knife will fit through the slots and under the wheel cover. These areas can easily be cleaned and will allow you to remove most of the debris that are preventing the wheels from rolling. Be tactful in how you use your knife to clean; too much force may create gouges in the plastic wheels which will prevent them from spinning properly. For removing unwanted hair from wheels, use a pair of tweezers.
Next you will want to remove the wheels from your chair. On most chairs, the wheels can simply be pulled off with a little force. Some chairs may require a screwdriver to unscrew the wheels from the chair. Once the wheels are removed, rub the wheels down with a damp cloth in order to remove any excess grime or dirt. If you need assistance reaching inside the wheels, cotton swabs work great for getting in those tough to reach areas.
Once you are done cleaning your wheels, make sure to thoroughly dry each of them with a clean dry cloth, paper towel, or towel. If moisture remains inside the wheel, it can cause squeaking or allow dirt to stick easier. Spray the inside of each wheel with a spray lubricant. Wipe off any excess or dripping lubricant as it can attract dirt.
Once you are done cleaning, drying, and lubricating your chair simply pop your wheels back on and flip your chair back over. Your chair should roll good as new and depending on how often you use your chair, you should be good in the wheel cleaning department for awhile. The whole process is a pretty quick and shouldn't take you more than ten minutes.

Stephen Strasburg dominated for five innings before allowing two runs in the sixth.
Game in a nutshell: Stephen Strasburg was just about everything the Nationals could have hoped in his first home start of the season, though the young staff ace did let the Astros come back to tie the game in the top of the sixth. No worries, because the suddenly potent Washington lineup (led by Steve Lombardozzi and Ryan Zimmerman) plated four runs in the bottom of the sixth, giving Strasburg the win and keeping the Nationals in first place in the NL East for another day.
Hitting highlight: Entering this game, Lombardozzi had eight total hits in the big leagues. The rookie second baseman increased that number by 50 percent, going 4-for-5 and driving in the go-ahead runs with a huge, two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the sixth. Lombardozzi also dropped a beautiful bunt down the third-base line for one of his four hits.
Pitching highlight: For five innings, Strasburg was absolutely brilliant, keeping the Astros from scoring while keeping his pitch count to aRead more »

Glad Lombardozzi is getting his shot, having a utility guy like that can do a lot for a team. Hope the pitching staff keeps this great work up.

Hey, guys – I think a win with six runs is good for half price food at Pappa John's tomorrow! I heard it on the radio and thought — well, a win, ok – but six runs? Woo Hoo. Speaking of Woo Hoo – I definitely heard some loud woo hoo-ings in the background during Strassie's interview. Was that anyone we know?

- Anonymous8 - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:09 AM
Houston is pitching a Lefty tomorrow in Wandy Rodriguez. I could see that as another reason to play Espi who will bat RH tomorrow.Yes, Espi's swing & miss is tough to watch when he bats Lefthanded and maybe Lombo is the answer and maybe not. Its one game, one very good game. Davey is doing the right thing playing Espi tomorrow. Can Davey start Lombo in LF? I guess he could if he changes his mind from what he said in his post-game news conference.
- Exposremains - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:20 AM
How come we never see Strasburg throw 100mph or more like he used to? He touches 98 but mostly around 96mph. Is it because he wants to locate better or its the surgery?
- Scott from Burke - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:21 AM
Lefty, yeah, in that case it will probably be espi..but lombo needs to be in there against right handers for a while..one game? that's right, now let's see if we can make it 4 or 5…too bad he didnt start lombo on sunday
- Scott from Burke - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:22 AM
F that..Lombo goes both ways (no pun intended)..let him start tomorrow
- Tom in AR - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:23 AM
They are both switch hitters.

Help I'm in a nutshell.
- Exposremains - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:28 AM
Desmond and Espinosa were great in their 1st spring training and september call up and then the league adjusted and then they were not so good anymore.Lombo can be great but you have to be careful to think that he can replace regulars because of one great game. the league will adjust to him too.

scott, don't hold your breath. they're not going to replace espi this quickly. it's just a handful of games (and even less for lombo). exposremain, stras is learning to pitch instead of just throw. he doesn't need to hit 100 to be effective. hitting 96-98 with slightly better location and slightly more movement gets more outs with less pitches.
- Scott from Burke - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:31 AM
Exposremains: let him play until they adjust…btw do you think the Nats whould be wearing a Gary Carter patch on their uni this year? I do
- Whatsanattau - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:36 AM
So is Nady our regular left fielder now? I think he might be. I like DeRosa and Bernadina but I think Nady is the guy.
- A DC Wonk - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:38 AM
Just back from the game — a couple of observations:1. Stopped by Sec 308 to see our man "sjm308" holding court with a coupla guys. It was nice to meet him, his son, and the crew.2. My daughter was with us — she decided in the 6th inning she and her friend would go down to the field level seats, "because that's where the balls are going." Sure enough, within five minutes, she got a ball.3. Lombo handled the bat well (his bunt single was particularly impressive), but I think he got a bit lucky, too. His double was a flare/blooper, and his other two singles were, if I remember, grounders through the infield (although at least one was hit hard). That's not to take away too much from him, though — he handled the bat better than Espi has lately for sure4. MPHRod was amazing (despite walking one batter). His first pitch was 97 mph (and a guy in our section yelled out, "throw the heat, stop with the easy stuff!"), with the second batter he cranked it up to 99. and got it to 100 mph on the third batter. I think the first two batters might have been all fastballs. The last batter was a three-pitch strike out, the last two strikes were completely unhittable 85 mph sliders — the first called, the second swinging in the dirt.

Exposremains said… Lombo can be great but you have to be careful to think that he can replace regulars because of one great game. the league will adjust to him too. April 16, 2012 11:28 PM That's kind of my point at 11:09. The league doesn't have extensive scouting on Lombo and maybe, maybe not, they find his weak spots. I like that he made contact tonight and 3 really nice hits and for the 1st time in his MLB career came through in a high leverage situation. That is a key even though it was a hit while fighting off an inside pitch.
- Gonat - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:41 AM
Wonk, great for your daughter!
- Scott from Burke - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:42 AM
Lucky…he muscled that inside pitch and got a huge double..you know who doesn't get "lucky"? guys who strike out
- JaneB - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:43 AM
Just arriving home from the game. A few random thoughts.I don't care if Stras throws in the 90's instead of 100, personally. 98 is plenty fast. It was so fun to be there tonight! That Ankiel throw from center to home was not to be believed. I love how the crowd is paying attention! And is it a surprise to anyone here that the time when Stras got into trouble was when the crowd was doing the *(&^^& wave? ENOUGH of that already!So nice to see the love for Werth and ALR. Nice to see Zimm connect. SO nice to see Lombo have a great night.And — though I am glad he is not on our team now — how nice it was to see JMax do well tonight, and to see he is back in the bigs. Good for him. I like Nady too. And finally how nice to hear a home run submarine horn! Go Wilson!GYFNG!

That's something Werth is learning also. I have to agree with Anon8 and Exposremains. Its one game in his career. The bunt was impressive and the way he fought off that pitch in the 6th to plate 2 runs was great.
- Scott from Burke - Apr 17, 2012 at 3:58 AM
I don't think Lombo is the second coming of Joe Morgan but Espinosa does not instill a great deal of confidence..give the kid a chance and see what he does with it

Just got home – great win!! Nice to meet Wonk and appreciated him coming over. Also neat that his daughter was really into the game and got a ball as a reward.HRod is just electric. I know we are all waiting for him to hit the backstop but he was ahead of all 4 hitters and even on the walk he was 1-2. His pitches just look different then others.Its probably been discussed earlier but we were all surprised Davey let Mattheus hit when he had Danny in the dugout and two runners on.Ankiels throw was good but nothing like the rocket to third base last year. That is still one of the great plays I have seen in person. He also really misjudged that shot to center in the 8th and while it was a tough play we should have been out of the inning with no damage.Only negative was sharing the metro home with lots and lots of not so happy people in these funny red jerseys. Not sure what that was about.Go Nats!! Blue hat stays on for another day!!

Why not? His manager said the same thing?Scott from Burke said…The junkies are fun guys and get atlhletes to loosen up but this was not a good ideawashington-nationals-p-tyler-clippard-guarantees-playoffs
- Anonymous - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:03 AM
I hope that Davey is open to the idea of making Lombo a super-utility in the Ben Zobrist mold. Some 2b, some ss, some 3b, some lf and rf. If he plays 15 games at each of 2b, ss, and 3b, and another 15 in lf and rf combined, that is about 270 plate appearances as a starter, add another 50 or so plate appearances as a pinch-hitter, you've got 320 plate appearances, enough to give Lombo the work he needs, and the rest that Zimmerman, Desi, Espi, Morse and Werth need.Corky
- Scott from Burke - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:04 AM
NatsLady your comments make me sad and tired…an 86 year old manager is one thing, the guy standing on the bump pitching against the Phillies in September to Ryan Howard, who knows you said they're gonna make the playoffs..why give these guys extra motivation? it's a rhetorical question
- NatsFanJim - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:05 AM
Solid win tonight!! Stras was good, but a couple more changeups and curves would have helped him a lot.Lombo was phenomenal; just what we needed. talk about a sparkplug ….If Lombo is producing and Espi 'ain't,' then no question as to who is starting. Espi needs to take his overconfident self to the batting cage and get in some serious work. Obviously, he hasnt solved any of his holes from last year.
- Anonymous - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:06 AM
Corky, not sure if 3rd is the place for Lombo. He looked shakey in 2 games there.
- NatsLady - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:07 AM
Expos, they gave Carter a film retrospective on the big screen and a moment of silence on opening day, so he was not forgotten.
- Section 222 - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:08 AM
And is it a surprise to anyone here that the time when Stras got into trouble was when the crowd was doing the *(&^^& wave? ENOUGH of that already!What is it about the wave that makes otherwise somewhat sane and rational people here and on Twitter (most of whom are just watching on TV anyway) absolutely lose their sh*t? It's embarrassing. Who cares if people who are less intense fans than you are are having fun at a game? You can't actually believe that the wave has any impact on what happens on the field? Can you? I can just as easily claim that that wave actually was responsible for us winning the game in the bottom of the inning. Its just took a few minute to take effect. I mean really. Now let me clue you in on something. No amount of complaining about the wave on Twitter or on a baseball blog is going to stop it from occurring. It's dumb, and it's a little annoying, but ultimately, it's harmless fun, like much that goes on at a baseball game. And it's here to stay. Sorry.
- NatsLady - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:09 AM
@Scott from Burke: your comments have the same effect on me.
- Scott from Burke - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:12 AM
hate the wave…but the team, via 'cheerleaders' and the like, encouraging it, is doubly annoying…taking attention away from the game? does that happen in Boston? of course Nats fans can't be compared to Sox fans, and never will…but it is annoying behavior…it will be interesting to see how this team draws and behaves if there in contention in September..that first season at RFK was fun
- NatsLady - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:16 AM
I'm indifferent regarding the wave. I do remember one of our baby pitchers (Milone?) found the rally towels distracting in Pittsburgh, but the general consensus was he needed to get used to them. Same with the late afternoon shadows–players don't like them but they aren't going anywhere.
- Anonymous - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:20 AM
nothing says passion like indifference…wow
- JaneB - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:22 AM
There actually is a body of research on fan impact on the game, as it happens, by a guy names Ric Leskowitz. The wave DOES NOT help the players. You don't have to hate it, 222. But I do. And will, even if it is here to stay.And Scott, didn't Ryan Howard also once guarantee the Phillies would make it to the playoffs? As I recall, they made it right to the big fat finish line.
- NatsLady - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:23 AM
Yeah, I don't pay no mind to the wave…Thass me, no opinion, no passion on that subject. Shocking, isn't it?
- SBrent - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:36 AM
I agree that the wave is annoying and basically an insulting declaration to the home team that they've become boring.
- Exposremains - Apr 17, 2012 at 4:39 AM
he didnt know that Natslady, thank you for telling me. Its great!
- Erik - Apr 17, 2012 at 5:38 AM
SJM-I have been to probably close to 700 MLB games and the throw Ankiel made tonight was THE BEST I have ever seen…by far!!! I know I am negative sometimes, but that throw was SICK!!! And I was at the game last year when he made the throw you were speaking of…the throw tonight makes that one look like amateur hour. 300+ feet and the catcher's mitt never moved!!! Unreal!!! Still need some bats…lol!!!
- UNTERP - Apr 17, 2012 at 11:18 AM
JaneB said… About the WAVE, it's that Terrance fellow that starts the wave. He is a Cheddar head…
- blovy8 - Apr 17, 2012 at 12:59 PM
Jimmy Rollins predicted postseason, and his team bailed him out, I agree that it was still a stupid thing to do. Unless you're Satchel Paige, you can't do it all yourself.

That's right! Jimmy Rollins, not Howard! Thanks…
- Jeff L - Apr 17, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Two thoughts:1. One h#ll of a bunt by Lombo!2. Ankiel's doesn't just have a cannon for an arm, it has to be a missile launcher!

Beginning in the zendo at Green Gulch Farm
Saturday, September 27, 2014
9:30 am - 5:30 pm
Most of the world's spiritual traditions include some form of pilgrimage. Although not often taught in the West, Buddhism also includes such a practice. This retreat will be a contemporary pilgrimage, exploring the ancient art of walking. While pilgrimage is often from one place to another, we will end at the very place we begin, celebrating the sacred aspect of the journey itself. We will begin at Green Gulch with an introduction to the basic principles of sitting meditation (zazen) and walking practice (kinhin). Much of the day will be spent mindfully hiking trails in the wilds of Marin (3-6 miles in length), moving between silence, instruction, and informal discussion. This is a contemplative journey where each step is the goal.
Please bring a bag lunch. Further information will be sent upon registration.

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.
