Bednar urges West Brom management to be aggressive in Premiership
West Brom striker Roman Bednar has urged management to be more aggressive upon their return to the Premiership.
Bednar hints former manager Tony Mowbray was too conservative in his approach the last time the Baggies were in the top flight.
"I want to hear that we want to win every game," Bednar told the Birmingham Mail.
"I don't want to play in a team that is scared of anybody.
"I am confident that we can beat anybody if we perform. Okay, we will have some bad days, and some clubs have better players so they will beat you.
"But I don't see why we should go down again.
"I am confident if we can stay fit and keep this team together then we can finish tenth. Maybe that's too high, but we shouldn't get relegated."

Leave a Comment Dan Davis says: November 10, 2012 at 8:58 AM It will be greater than 50% next time. A state or federal constitutional amendment is needed to throw out these crap party candidates if they can't muster a simple majority of American support and or introduce a third choice for a run-off if they can't muster 67% of American support. Dan Davis says: November 10, 2012 at 8:58 AM Republicans are the 3rd party. Democrats are the 2nd party. The term '3rd party' has a long stigmatized history. Let's use 'New Party' or 'First Party' to refer to the 48% of America that now rejects these has been corrupt monopolizers of our government……105.6 MILLION people did not vote for either puppet to the 60 million for the D puppet and 57 million for the R puppet. My math says 105.6>60 and 105.6>57. What say you? Jonathan D Yellowbear says: November 10, 2012 at 8:58 AM That is the problem when the "GOP" insists that we have to stomach another moderate. I am sick of having to pick the lessor of two evils. If the "GOP" would pick a genuine CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE I and a whole host of others would vote for him or her. If the "GOP" wants to keep up with the Demo-rats, that's up to them, but if they want to continue to do that then I am with Herman Cain, in the idea that we need a new third Party that will BE CONSERVATIVE, and not act conservative or say their are conservative.

hi guys
well this is my first post in this forum, but I've been following your work for quite a while. so I thought, why not intoduce myself with a suggestion. maybe you like it
it's like a bit more "actual" than all those scifi-fantasy things
Anarchy in Paris, after several weeks of near-civil-war condition in the capital of France, the police-forces finaly had to retreat. Now the president has announced that "military-troops will reenforce the police of Paris to regain controle over the devastated city" and reinstall law and order.
I thought with your skills this should look all fantastic

A Bridge City sounds good, but how about a village in forest, a tree village? I mean like houses high on the trees and so on, after all it's your own choise. I have seen those first time when I was a child and I played a game named Donkey Kong Country, I thought those villages were cool and I have always wanted to paint or draw a picture of village like that.

By James Slater: After almost two eventful years, the grand final of the largely successful and hugely entertaining Super Six is almost upon us. Back in October of 2009, Arthur Abraham and Carl Froch opened the Boxing Classic tournament, with wins over Jermain Taylor and Andre Dirrell respectively. Now, with Taylor and Abraham having exited the tourney along with Mikkell Kessler and late entrants Glen Johnson and Allan Green, 33-year-old Froch and 27-year-old Andre Ward are all that is left of a great field of fighters.
Unbeaten Ward has amazed fans with his ability - ability that has seen him come through all three of his Super Six outings with relative ease. While Froch, who struggled against Dirrell in his debut, has bounced back well from his sole loss to Kessler; having out-pointed both Abraham and Johnson. Now the fans are enthusiastically awaiting the final. The word is the final will take place on October 29th, with two venues being looked as: Las Vegas and New York.
Froch favours Las Vegas, and Showtime are reported to also favour having the big fight take place there. A fitting venue any of the top Vegas hotels would certainly be, and such a venue would also produce a neutral sight. Ward has fought many of his pro bouts in California (his last eight fights were fought in CA), and he too will be making his Vegas debut if the final is held there. It seems fair, and Froch has proved many times he is more than willing to travel to another guys backyard to fight. Shouldnt Froch get his wish and have the fight in Vegas?
It is to be hoped Ward, 24-0(13) agrees to the fight being held outside of California. We dont need any delays due to one of the finalists moaning and groaning over the finals location. Ward is a terrific talent and he has the look of a future superstar, but he has benefited from home town advantage too many times - with two of his three Super Six wins taking place in Oakland.
Wherever the final is held, though, its sure to be a big occasion. Lets also hope Froch-Ward turns out to be a great fight. But will the styles of the two men gel? Froch loves to go to war, yet he can box if he wants to. Ward is a pure boxer, yet he has been accused of using dirty tactics at times. Will The Cobra be able to hunt Ward down and force him to stand and trade? Or will the man known as S.O.G look to pick Froch off and steal points with a largely defensive approach?
Froch, 28-1(20) is rarely if ever in a dull fight. Hopefully this trend will continue, under the bright lights of Las Vegas, in October.

EOTO 15U Takes Wildcats Showdown/Celtics 16U Show Well in Chicago
Memorial Day always brings a host of events throughout the country, while I was watching in Atlanta a pair of events featuring Tennessee teams made some headlines up North.
In Lexington, The Wildcat Memorial Day Showdown saw the 15U EOTO crew blast the Shining Stars 60-38 and bring home the Gold for the Volunteer state.
Silas Clark (Cumberland County) led the scoring in the title game with 14 followed by Kajuan Hale (Austin East) with 12, Jack Sampayrac (Knoxville Catholic) with 11 and Caleb Martin (Oak Ridge) with 10.
Clark topped the scoring for EOTO throughout the weekend including a 22 point effort in a big win over the Cam Hopkins All-Stars in the semi-finals. Sampayrac added 15 in the same contest while Hale was outstanding throughout averaging 14 per game and double digit assists as well.
Coaches were quick to mention the contributions of Jacques Booker (Fulton) who was a monster on the boards the entire weekend.
Continuing up North, the Nashville Celtics 16U had themselves a fine showing in the Chicago Memorial Day Classic finishing in the final four losing to the Wisconsin Playground Warriors in the semis.
John Carter (Summit) was a welcome addition for the Celtics with his scoring and shooting prowess. Isaiah Crawley (Ripley) averaged a double/double for the event and proved to be a tough match-up for everyone.
David Ivy (Blackman) was solid scoring around 10 per game and snatching caroms at a 7 per contest clip. Geordan Reed (Jackson Southside) had a strong tournament finishing as one of the Celtics top scorers at 13 per game.
Mike Parker (Maplewood) continues to make things happen from the lead guard position controlling the tempo while scoring around 9 per game and getting his mates good looks to the tune of 8 assists per contest.
Coaches were quick to applaud the contributions of Brice Williams (Blackman) and David Murray (Liberty Tech).

While commending the State government's nutritious mid-day meal scheme for children, a team from the Union Human Resource Ministry, which reviewed the programme in Tamil Nadu recently, has suggested that the menu could be spruced up by adding grains such as millet and ragi. "It can be boring for children to have rice and sambar every day. So, we have suggested that more varieties such as millets be introduced, provided it is practical and suits the taste of children," said Rita Chatterjee, Joint Secretary, MHRD, who headed the team.
The Central team, which is touring various States to review the system of fund flow, payment of cost of food grains and infrastructure at noon meal centres, among others, visited three districts – Namakkal, Krishnagiri and Vellore. The team had several meetings in Chennai. Lauding the scheme, Ms. Chatterjee said there are many lessons that other States could learn from Tamil Nadu. The quality of rice, meticulous maintenance of record books and state of kitchens received special mention. Other suggestions offered to the Department of Social Welfare and Nutritious Meal Programme include improving community participation and packaging of food grains. "We noticed that when sacks of food grains reach school much is lost, FCI should take up packaging to ensure there is minimal loss in the process," Ms. Chatterjee added.
Senior officials of said the suggestions are welcome and the modalities on bringing in more variety in the menu can be worked out.
The current menu includes white rice, vegetable sambar, and boiled egg served all five working days of the week. On Friday potatoes are also included in the menu.
Chef Damu, who was previously approached by the Department to spice up the mid-day menu, feels while millets are more nutritious than rice the challenge is in introducing these fibre foods in a State where a majority are rice eaters.
"It is important to break the monotony in the menu to make food more appealing and also to prevent wastage," said Mr. Damu. Many varieties can be served even with ragi and millets by using the same ingredients in the menu.
According to K. Shanmugavelayutham, convener of voluntary organisation TN-Forces and who accompanied the Central team, the local bodies and school management committee should take part in supervision of mid-day meal scheme and also in suggesting the menu. "Nutrition and hygiene level should be improved further'', he added.

Recently I had the privilege of attending the Mass led by Pope Francis in Bethlehem's Manger Square. I am not a Catholic – but like many who are not, I have been inspired and touched by Pope Francis. I do not know what is it exactly that draws me to him! Is it his humility? His compassion for the poor? His social justice concern? His true ecumenical spirit [6] ? Maybe all of the above!
Back to Manger Square. It was truly a special day. There were Palestinian Christians from all over Palestine and Israel. There was a sense of euphoria in the air. I have never seen Bethlehem like this before. I have never in my life witnessed Palestinian Christians with so much joy and jubilation. People were excited. Nuns were dancing in the streets. There were hymns, flags, smiles. For few hours we forgot we were occupied.
However, the most iconic moment during the Pope's visit to Bethlehem did not take place in the Manger Square, nor the Nativity Church. It took place next to the Separation Wall [8].
For years I have seen pilgrims come to Bethlehem to visit the Nativity Church. I have always wondered: Do they care about the suffering of the Palestinians? Do they pay attention to the wall as they enter through the main checkpoint? Do they notice the refugee camp as they make their way to the church? Or are they mainly concerned about performing their religious duty? Or maybe the main thing is to satisfy their love of history by visiting this ancient site?
That is why, when Pope Francis stopped, touched the wall, and said a prayer – it was truly an iconic moment. Pope Francis couldn't but notice the ugliness of this concrete structure at the heart of Bethlehem. This wall should make us all uncomfortable. The pope couldn't but respond. By responding in this manner, the pope touched more than the wall. He touched the ugliness of the occupation and war. He touched the depth of our suffering. With humility and weakness, he looked injustice in the eyes, and challenged it.
Bethlehem Bible College runs a biannual conference called "Christ at the Checkpoint" [9] in which we ask: "What would Jesus do if he is to stand in front of an Israeli checkpoint or the separation wall today?" We now know how Pope Francis reacted. He lamented. He lamented over the reality of the wall. He also prayed.
What did he say in his prayer? Truth is I don't want to know. Some words are better left unspoken. The image of him standing next to the wall and praying will forever be carved in our memories. For me, this image is going everywhere. On my office wall, Facebook page, desktop wallpaper. For us as Palestinian Christians, this image is going deep into our memory. And when this wall falls one day (not if, but when), we might go back to this moment and this prayer as one of the key moments that led to its fall.
At the end of the day, the pope left, and the occupation and the wall remained. But we were left with a renewed sense of hope – knowing that we are not forgotten. We were left with a mandate to continue lamenting the current situation, to fight against injustice, and to pray.
Munther Isaac is the Vice Academic Dean at Bethlehem Bible College [10] and a PhD candidate at the Oxford Center for Mission Studies. He is also the director of the Christ at the Checkpoint Conference [11].

BSES (Yamuna and Rajdhani) has accused the MCD of non-payment of dues
All these are ploys of the discoms to avoid paying the required 5 per cent tax: MCD
NEW DELHI: The dues-and-arrears issue between the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the private power distribution companies has just got murkier.
A day after the BSES (Yamuna and Rajdhani) accused the civic body of non-payment of dues, the MCD Standing Committee Chairman Vijender Gupta on Sunday vehemently denied such allegations saying: "All these are ploys of the discoms to avoid paying the 5 per cent tax that they owe the MCD. The tax has to be paid irrespective of whether or not the civic body owes them money for electricity charges. Even if we owe them, they have no right to correlate the tax with the owed amount. The tax is a separate entity and is payable to the Government no matter what."
The discoms' announcement that the civic body owed them nearly Rs.76 crore in electricity consumption charges followed a Standing Committee meeting this past week where the Commissioner Ashok Kumar had ordered "strict action" against them for failing to pay a five per cent tax on the total electricity consumed in Delhi.
"We have filed a notice against them. As per the DMC Act 154 (2), they have to pay us within 30 days of the due date else a 20 per cent penalty is levied. If the tax is still not paid then we have full right to seize the offending party's bank accounts. We can also seize and auction their immovable property," said Mr. Gupta.
The roots of this confusion can be traced back to when Government power agencies were about to make way for their privatised counterparts. "Earlier, when the DESU and the DVB were the power agencies, the MCD was not very systematic in collecting the power tax because Government organisations were involved. Now, since private companies are involved in power distribution, we are trying to enforce a transparent and stringent mechanism of tax payment. These private players think they can get away without paying tax that they owe the Government."
According to Mr. Gupta, the North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL) paid the MCD Rs.7 crore each month in electricity tax. The MCD in turn paid NDPL Rs.3-4 crore each month in power charges.
"We have no problem with NDPL. They pay us in time and we clear their bills as soon as we get them. In fact, the Commissioner has made bill-payments a 'top priority'. The Deputy Commissioner concerned is to be held directly responsible if there is any disconnection drive due to non-payment of bills," the Chairman explained.
At a recent meeting the Secretary (Power) had directed both the MCD and BSES (Rajdhani and Yamuna) to conduct a thorough audit to estimate their financial dues. As per these audits, BSES owed the MCD around Rs.130 crore in tax while the MCD owed BSES around Rs.88 crore in consumption charges. "All our dues are cleared. Some bills have not been paid because the power companies themselves delay giving us the bills since they want money in a lump-sum," he concluded.

PORTLAND -- Several hundred people marched through Portland to mark the 15th annual Global Cannabis March, an event to advocate for marijuana reforms.
The march on Saturday is also being held in dozens of other cities worldwide -- from New York City to Toronto to Jakarta.
The events' goal is to bring an end to the failed war on cannabis.
Oregon marijuana activists are collecting signatures for two 2014 ballot measures, including one to legalize the use of recreational marijuana for adults.

The role of technology in the classroom
Monday, June 11th, 2012 | education
A thousand years ago a person could prosper without being literate; this is no longer possible today. Thirty years ago a person could prosper without being digitally literate; this is likewise no longer possible today. The workplace demands both literacy and digital skills and someone who enrols for a university course without them is at a disadvantage. These skills must be developed before a child leaves school.
It follows that the debate is no longer "should we use technology in school" but rather "how can we accelerate the introduction of technologies into our classrooms". In other parts of the world technology has been a part of classrooms for decades but in South Africa we are lagging behind. While educators in other countries are already experiencing the power of technology as teaching and learning tools, we are grappling with the basics.
Technology can be used in a classroom in different ways.
The first one is to teach learners about technology. Just as good handwriting, spelling and grammar skills are basic building blocks for learning, so a sound understanding of technology is required. It is important to know how to use a word processor, a spreadsheet, presentation software and how to communicate effectively through email. These are basic skills and we may assume that learners will pick them up by themselves, but we only have to look at the way they write SMS messages to understand that much more is required than merely knowing where to press the buttons.
Teaching with technology is the second level for which to aim. Technology can be a powerful teaching aid. Think about a teacher who uses a laptop and a data projector in the classroom to spice up lessons by showing interesting pictures or video clips. This can spark off interesting class discussions, focussing the attention of learners on the learning material. An interactive whiteboard can take this one step further, encouraging further interactivity. If a teacher has a trolley with netbooks available, she can use this for drill and practise exercises to reinforce numeracy skills. Innovative educators will find many ways in which technology can be used as a teaching tool.
Teaching through technology is the third level to which teaches must aspire in the classroom: technology devices can assume the role of tutors to assist teachers with teaching and learners with learning. It becomes a tool for learners to find information, evaluate it, analyse it, and synthesize it to build knowledge. Collaboration skills can be developed as well as other critical thinking skills required for twenty-first century living.
We have a long way to go to reach this third stage – most schools are still battling to bring technology into classrooms to get stage one off the ground!
The state alone can't make technology in education happen, even though we are looking at the national and provincial education departments to take the lead. NGOs and corporate organizations can play a major role in making technology in the classroom a reality.
The education system faces many challenges – making technology a part of the classroom experience is only one of them. It is, however, a critical one if we do not want the digital divide to widen even further.

Why can't technology, ICT in it self be a academic subject, as it is in secondary and tersiary institutions in the primary school? Then others don't have to waste time to learn the basics if it can be done in the primary school. We could still have ICT classes (focus on ICT skills) in the past but now with CAPS it is something of the past!
Wednesday, 13 June, 2012
I am with you all the way on this one, Piet. In many countries ICT is a subject from primary school to secondary school. Unless we follow the same route we will never be able to narrow the digital divide. However, two barriers need to be removed: the lack of ICT resources in schools and the lack of ICT skills among teachers.

Wonderful Stay
Excellent rental
The condo has hardwood floors in it now so looks a little different than the pictures on here. Furnishing wise the chair was in one of the bedrooms and there was no way to get it out and put it in the living room like it is in the picture without removing the hinges on the door so there was only a couch in the living room. The patio is completely covered so it was possible to sit out there even this weekend when it was 113 degrees. There were enough dishes, towels, and silverware to satisfy us and the washer and dryer worked.
The Wi-Fi was around 5MBPs so faster than other places i've stayed in the area. The television only gets about 10 channels but really didn't watch it much so that didn't bother us.
Altogether, I have no complaints. If you want a kitchen, washer, dryer, etc and don't want to stay in a hotel this is the best option i've stayed in so far in Las Vegas.
Totally disappointed!
The unit was grossly under equipped, to the point where we had to go out and buy dish towels and dish clothes. This unit had only a coffee maker and toaster. For a ten week stay we were expecting much more. We requested a blender, a crock pot and a portable mixer which were provided. The pizza pan was so rusty we were afraid to cook on it and the only baking dish had a crack down the center. Again these items were replaced. There were no grills close to the unit and the gas grills we would have had to drive to.
We were without water on two different occasions for the entire day. We never did get the whole story on that. The ceiling fan in the master bdrm did not work and was also replaced. Then there was the toilet in the master bath...the seat did not fit the toilet and was replaced three times...it finally ended up with an oblong seat on a round toilet! Then the fact that the toilet wouldn't stop running was another issue which required repairing three different times. Needless to say we were on a first name basis with the handyman.
I do have to say that the lady in the office representing the HOA was very responsive when I went in to complain about my sister being approached in our parking lot (in this gated community) by a pan handler when she came to pick me up. She called security and assured me this wouldn't happen again. About a week later I was also approached. Not very comforting!
The gate code was not working so we were given the remote and that solved that problem.
We would also suggest that you use google earth to determine if this location is suited for you as it is right on Jones Blvd. and the emergency vehicles were a constant nuisance in the middle of the night. The condos in the back of the complex probably don't have this problem.
We do have to say that at the end of our stay we were shown several units in the back of the complex that were very nicely furnished and a better location to the pool and gas grills.
This isn't the type of review we like submitting but hopefully it will help correct the problems that we encountered.
what a great place
and very nice pool almost privat , my 2 kids love it .we will definitively go back.
thanks paul

Discussion in 'Fly Swaps' started by Matthew Gulbranson, Dec 21, 2008.
I dropped mine in the mailbox this morning so expect them soon.
Chukar, got yours Saturday. Nice flies dude! Obi, can't wait to see yours. Here are pics of the flies so far.
Under the heavy influence of Jack Daniel's, I created a fly pattern that I call the "Obiwan-Prawn". The first two prototypes I applied a thin layer of epoxy over the back of the fly. My attempt was to reinforce the pheasant feather that is folded from the rear to the front of the fly. After some sobriety set in, I determined that the epoxy would weight the top too much causing the fly to ride underside during the swing. For the rest of the ties, I just applied two coats of Sally Hansen's over the back, giving it some sheen and some durability. My apologies since two of you will recieve the original epoxied prototypes but with a proper knot, they should still ride upright under water.
Obi, just got home and saw your flies today...looking good dude! I don't know if the epoxy flies will be too top heavy or not, either way, both of them look great.
Now we just need to get Nick's flies in. I want to get these flies out soon, so I am thinking another week and then I'll get them sent out to be fair to everyone. How does that sound? Not too much time left to fish for the winter steel.
Hope everyone has a good holiday weekend!
Hey guys
I've been outta the loop for a week or so...just had a little heart problem...actually a stint placement in the lad (artery that supplies 40% 02 to the heart muscle). Glad God nudged me to get it checked before checking out on some river! Anyhoo, I'd sure like to get something before next weekend, as I will be taking the trailer over to the west side for some fishing. BTW I feel better now than I have for a long time. Glad to be Alive!
Gary, Good to know your going to be OK! I am going to be out of town until next Tuesday, but will have them in the mail Wednesday morning, hope that will get them to you in time. I will send Nick a pm too so he's in the loop. I don't know if there is internet out where i'm gonna be, so not sure I can keep close tabs on the swap.
Gary, glad you are still with us. I'm hoping that we all get them soon to fish them. Dinker said he is sending them out soon. I'm excited to see the collection.
Alright Gents, flies went in the mail today. I hope they all arrive in your hands quickly and safely! Thanks for participating for the first swap that I have hosted. The flies are all great.
Gary, I hope they get to you before you leave on your quest for steel. As for me, I just got back from four days on the Sky without even a pull. It seems my quest for my first steel is still that...a quest. I hope to have one to hand before this winter is over, but I guess that will be left in the hands of the fish gods.
Thanks Dinker, will update the thread when they arrive. Thanks for hosting our motley group and may the steelhead gods be with us all.
Alright, flies are now officially posted in the gallery, enjoy! I didn't put anyone's name by the flies, so feel free to add yours to your creation, if that's possible.
Thanks again for making this a great swap!
Thanks for hosting the swap and posting the pics. I just wanted to include a quick recipe of the "Obiwan-Prawn" fly since I didn't include it in the package I sent out.
Hook: TMC #6 7999
Thread: Red GSP
Tail: Orange Bucktail, 6-8 strands of orange crystal flash, two grizzly neck feathers, golden pheasant neck feather with the middle section clipped to represent claws, shrimp ice dubbing mixed with a generic shrimp colored dubbing, two red pheasant cape feather's
Body: Shrimp dubbing mixed with shrimp colored ice dubbing, lead wire wrapped around hook for added weight
Spey hackle: 2 Hot orange dyed silver pheasant neck feathers treated with a mild bleach solution to burn the fibers and make them appear more wirey
Back: Large red pheasant cape feather folded over the top of the hook and treated with Sally Hansen's nail polish or a light coating of epoxy
Collar: Red pheasant rump feather
Hope these flies work for everyone and thanks to all the participants in the swap.
Got mine today, great job everyone. Thanks for hosting.
Cool, good to hear they made it to you safe Daryle! Thanks for tying!
Hey guys, thanks for the well wishes. I'm feeling great now. Like 20 yrs younger. Got my flies today. Thanks Dinker, you did a great job! I'm headed for the Bogi tomorrow for the weekend. Hope to get over to Oxbow on Sunday to meet a lot of a.k.a.'s from this forum. Great looking flies. My grand daughter 4 yrs old was soooo excited. She loved the pink, then the blue, then the purple...and on it goes. I will give em all a try in the days to come. Again, thanks guys!
Great looking flies all. Gary, glad you are getting back on the water. I'm sure we all are looking forward to a report.
I just wanted to say thanks everyone for the great looking ties and to Dinker for hosting the swap.
Thanks Obi! I am glad I did it and will do again, it was fun. I am really looking forward to using these soon, and I am hoping with this rain that is forecasted we might have some fish moving next week?! I plan on trying my tying hand at the "obiwan prawn" too!
Thanks for hosting Dinker, good looking flies everyone. :thumb:
Nice work gents, thanks for the hard work Dinker. I'll put 'em to work in Oregon in a few weeks! Cross your fingers!

Plenty of folks have gotten themselves into trouble in the ICW because they do not understand the concept of a commercial waterway. There are plenty of offshoots on the ICW for those in their john boats, water skiers and partiers. I can tell you from personal experience, when navigating a tug and barge in the ICW, other traffic had better stay out of the way as there is no way in hell to stop or turn those things once you've set up for the reach to the next turn.
And the truth of the no wake zones and many of the Manatee zones, has nothing to do with boater or Manatee safety; it's the wealthy waterfront property owners not wanting to constantly repair their seawalls because of the erosion from wakes.
Maybe you need to come up to speed there, old timer. The ICW is no longer a commercial waterway as such. Sure commercial traffic still uses it, but the the Army Corp of Engineers doesn't maintain it anymore, at least not consistently. It has become a waterway for pleasure boats and as you say, rich property owners, and Manatee. And of course, all power boaters whine about the speed zones to protect them. Damn them slow moving Manatee!
And since this was a discussion about powerboat wakes, I am not exactly sure how a tug and barge's wake got thrown into this. From what I have seen, tug and barges move pretty slow producing very little wake. Oh, yeah, you did mention that so, what was your point again in regards to their wake? I am a bit confused, how did your "gold plated" sport fishing vessels turn into a tug and barge? How did you get a tug and barge up on plane, so you would have to slow down?
The older gentlemen in the jon boat were at the edge of the river next to the marsh minding their own business. They were no where near the power boat that produced the wake that flipped them over.
The discussion was about the wake of fast moving powerboats, not the right of way of tug boats.
And, I have no idea what you are talking about, every time I sail in front of a tanker or large ship, sighting the sailboat right of way, they immediately turn and get out of my way. They don't do that for you?

It's absolutely gorgeous outside and I can't stop myself from checking what produce has sprung up from our area this week. I wasn't sure what to expect while considering all the randomly warm weather we've had here throughout the last two weeks. It's pretty crazy. Before you know it, eggplant and zucchini will be in full bloom! That's completely wild, given the multiple feet of snow we had on the ground last year at this time. So I walked into the market, open-minded. You never know what you're going to get in the middle of March, nearing the first day of Spring.
Omnipresent at the market, was that beautiful broccoli rabe. So, obviously, that's what I used most of for this soup, followed only by green beans, since they were surprisingly awesome in both looks and taste, that day. In a few weeks, asparagus, peas, and spring onions will be popping up in all their deliciousness, so you might want to use a combination of those instead, if they're available and perfect-looking. I used less of those this time around, since they weren't quite ready here yet. But, if you live in a sunny, warm, beautiful place year-round where you don't have to consider these things as much as when you live in the sticks outside of New York…good for you! If that's the case, then just get whatever you like the best.
That's the beauty of soup, in my opinion. It's the easiest, most nutritious way to just combine the best of the moment, in produce. Plus, it's just good. Even my kids love soup, so it must be a crowd-pleaser. I also made some no knead bread, sliced it and rubbed it with some garlic then melted some provolone over it and topped it with some fresh herbs and yellow cherry tomatoes, just to add a little heartiness to the meal. It was fantastic and a definite hit at our dinner table, just two days before the very first day of Spring.
Spring Minestrone Soup
- 3 cups basic mirepoix (chopped onion, celery, and carrot)
- salt & pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 quarts vegetable or chicken broth
- 3-4 spring new potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 3 cups, chopped, broccoli rabe and greens
- 1 cup, trimmed and chopped, green beans (substitute peas and/or fine asparagus tips, if desired)
- 15 ounces, fully cooked, red beans (or one can, drained and well-rinsed)
- scallions or ramp, trimmed and finely sliced (about 1/4 cup)
- fresh basil leaves and flat leaf parsley, chopped (about a handful of each)
Place stock pot over medium-high heat. Drop mirepoix into bottom of pot and sprinkle with salt and pepper to sweat. Stir mirepoix occasionally until onions are translucent, then add olive oil, red pepper flakes and garlic. Pour in stock, then drop the potatoes into the pot and stir to incorporate. Bring to a boil until potatoes are tender, then add broccoli rabe, red beans and green beans. Once greens are wilted, add scallions or ramp and finish with basil and flat leaf parsley. Stir to combine and season to taste.

Pete Seeger: In His Own Words
Title: Pete Seeger: In His Own Words
Author: Pete Seeger
KDL Description:
"Letters, notes to himself, published articles, rough drafts, stories and poetry [create] the most intimate picture yet available of Seeger as a musician, an activist, and a family man."—Publisher
Amazon Description:
Long an icon of American musical and political life, Pete Seeger has written eloquently in books and for magazines, activist movements, and union newsletters. Although he has never written an autobiography, his life story is nowhere more personally chronicled than in the private writings, documents, and letters stored for decades in his family barn.
In Pete Seeger: His Life In His Own Words, we hear directly from Seeger through the widest array of sources letters, notes to himself, published articles, rough drafts, stories, and poetry creating the most intimate picture yet available of Seeger as a musician, an activist, and a family man in his own words and from his own perspective. From letters to his mother written when he was a 13-year-old desiring his first banjo to speculations on the future, this book covers the passions, personalities, and experiences of a lifetime of struggle the pre-WWII labor movement, the Communist Party, Woody Guthrie, the blacklist, the Civil Rights movement, Martin Luther King, the struggle against the war in Vietnam, Bob Dylan, travels around the world, cleaning up the Hudson River, Granny D, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, and countless uncelebrated activists with whom Seeger has worked and sung. The portrait that emerges is not a saint, not a martyr, but a flesh-and-blood man, struggling to understand his gift, his time, and his place.

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) is a monthly journal that publishes research on subjects related to computer graphics and visualization techniques, systems, software, hardware, and user interface issues. Read the full scope of TVCG.
From the June 2015 issue
An Efficient Framework for Generating Storyline Visualizations from Streaming Data
By Yuzuru Tanahashi, Chien-Hsin Hsueh, and Kwan-Liu Ma
This paper presents a novel framework for applying storyline visualizations to streaming data. The framework includes three components: a new data management scheme for processing and storing the incoming data, a layout construction algorithm specifically designed for incrementally generating storylines from streaming data, and a layout refinement algorithm for improving the legibility of the visualization. By dividing the layout computation to two separate components, one for constructing and another for refining, our framework effectively provides the users with the ability to follow and reason dynamic data. The evaluation studies of our storyline visualization framework demonstrate its efficacy to present streaming data as well as its superior performance over existing methods in terms of both computational efficiency and visual clarity.

Latest Saimaa Ringed Seal Stories
The Center for Biological Diversity claim the National Marine Fisheries Service has illegally delayed listings for the ringed seal and the bearded seal.
On Tuesday, Finnish conservation biologists announced that the number of rare Saimaa seal pups born declined this winter compared to 2008.
Latest Saimaa Ringed Seal Reference Libraries
The Baikal seal (Pusa sibirica), also known as the nerpa or the Lake Baikal seal, is a true seal in the Phocidae family that is native to Lake Baikal located in Siberia. This species is one of three seals that reside solely in fresh water areas. It is not known exactly how these seals came to inhabit such an isolated area, but some experts assert that a sea-passage was formed that linked the Arctic Ocean and Lake Baikal. The Baikal seal is one of the smallest of all true seal species,...
The ringed seal (Pusa hispida), also known as the jar seal, is a true seal in the Phocidae family. Locally, it is known as nattiq or netsik in the Inuit language. It can be found in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, with a range that includes the Bering and Oshtok Seas, the Arctic Ocean, and the coastlines of Japan in the north Pacific. It also occurs in the North Atlantic on the coastlines of Scandinavia, Greenland, and Newfoundland. Within its range, the ringed seal prefers areas with ice...

Let's Talk Food: Make variety of flavorful liqueurs at home
It is always encouraging to hear from a reader and especially when this column has provided him or her with pleasure.
It had been some weeks since I wrote about kumquats and gave instructions on how to create a delicious liqueur when I received an email from Jeanne Busch. She wrote: "I tasted the brandy yesterday after it had been distilled for six weeks. It was amazing! What a great recipe! I have it waiting for a special treat for guests to share. That is, if I can keep it away from my husband. Now I have a whole new hobby. Many, many thanks! Are there other fruits that would work as well?"
While Jeanne Busch is engaged in her new hobby, creating those powerful libations, I'd like to encourage others to follow suit. Here in paradise it's easy-livin' time and what better way to spend those long summer days than turning home-sweet-home into a brewery.
Flavored liqueurs have been used as a digestive for centuries. What started out as a medicinal substance originating as a curative eventually was flavored with fruits, flowers, herbs, spices and other aromatic substances.
These original liqueurs originated in Italy during the 13th century, prepared by Benedictine monks. One of the first was Fernet Branca, invented by Niccolo Branca in 1845. The Branca family continues to manufacture it, and Italians consider it one of their most useful (although not delicious) libations. Although sharp and bitter, this dark and dastardly substance is still ingested by Italians both as a cure for stomach problems and as a recreational drink.
I got my inspiration for creating liqueurs after ingesting a generous sample made by the late and great Scottie Ames. Her kumquat and calamondin trees were prolific bearers of delectable fruit and she had a great stash of her own "recipe," which she shared with me.
After making several quarts of kumquat liqueur I became courageous and began experimenting with other fruits. For Jeanne Busch and other likeminded moonshiners, here are enough recipes to keep one in liqueur for a lifetime:
Raspberry Liqueur
2 boxes raspberries, 2 cups simple syrup, bottle of vodka. Combine and place in a clear jar and refrigerate for four to five weeks.
Orange and Coffee Bean Liqueur
3 oranges, cut slits down the side, well spaced. Insert three coffee beans in each slit. Place into a large jar and add ¼ cup coffee beans and 2 cups simple syrup. Pour over all a bottle of vodka. Refrigerate for three months. This potion turns dark but the flavor is marvelous especially in fresh-brewed coffee.
Prune and Raisin Liqueur
16 ounces dried, pit-less prunes, a good handful of raisins, 1 cup simple syrup and a bottle of vodka or white rum. Follow directions above and age for four weeks in the refrigerator. This is also delicious made with dried apricots.
Ginger Liqueur
1 cup crystallized ginger, 1 cup sugar, not syrup, and a bottle of vodka or Tequila. Proceed as above. Allow to mellow for three weeks or more.
Mint Liqueur
1 large bunch of mint, washed and crushed, 2 cups simple syrup, bottle of white rum or vodka. Refrigerate for three weeks or more. Add to fruit compotes, lemonade or other fruit drinks.
Fig Liqueur
15 to 20 figs, both green and purple work well. 1 cup simple syrup and either vodka or gin. Refrigerate and allow to mellow for three to four weeks.
Simple Syrup
Boil together 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water for 5 minutes. Allow to cool before using
Note: When I refer to a bottle of liquor I mean to use either a quart or a larger bottle. When using a larger bottle allow more time to mellow.
The list of possible liqueurs is endless. A friend prepared one using peaches, kiwi fruit, fresh pineapple and pears. One of my favorite commercial liqueurs is banana but I have been unable to find a recipe, so if anyone out there has the formula, please send it to me and I'll share it.
Summertime is when berries and fresh fruit are in season and we all have a bit of time. In the olden days we took to our kitchens and canned seasonal products. Liqueurs are much more interesting and after aging are perfect holiday gifts. During the summer I search the thrift shops for colorful and interesting bottles.
Liqueurs are also ideal for flavoring drinks and desserts.
First you take a cake. Pound cakes are best, but use any cake, store-bought, box or homemade that is without icing. Prick the top of the cake with lots of holes.
Pour in just enough liqueur to moisten and flavor. Let it sit for about an hour or so.
Slice and serve with ice cream or just plain with perhaps a small glass of the liqueur to moisten the taste buds.
Place enough mint liqueur in an ice cube tray and allow to become half frozen. Put about 3 or 4 cubes in a large, chilled glass pour over good old fashioned lemonade for a summer coolant.
Use a generous bowl or a large goblet, add scoops of butter pecan, strawberry and chocolate ice cream or gelato. Slice a banana and place over the ice cream followed by kiwi fruit, blueberries and toasted pecans. Pour on caramel sauce and finally generous splashes of fresh fig liqueur or use any of your choice. This is not for children or the meek and mild.

While the world of advertising may not be as glamorous as it seems on Mad Men, it's still an area filled with massive amounts of revenue, which can be just as glamorous. Digital Ad revenue is at an all-time high, and companies in the U.S. spent almost $500 billion on advertising alone last year, according to emarketer.com. A number of large companies repeatedly spend over a billion dollars each on advertising every year.
"With the exceptions of dreams, there isn't a single facet of our lives that doesn't involve advertising in some way," explains Forest Cassidy, co-founder of LeadFerret. "Advertising is a vast, powerful industry. It shapes how we shop and what we buy. Catch phrases and jingles from ads regularly enter the vernacular. There is a wealth of opportunity for nearly every company out there when it comes to working with advertising agencies, which is why we compiled this directory."
Common titles include:
>Account Manager

Indonesia's Mount Kelud Erupts
February 20, 2014
A major eruption occurred at Indonesia's Kelud volcano on February 13, 2014. The eruption sent a large plume of ash drifting west across Java and over the Indian Ocean. According to an advisory issued by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, ash had reached 13 kilometers (45,000 feet) in altitude, prompting the closure of several airports. Three people were killed, and Indonesian authorities have evacuated more than 75,000 people from their homes.
