We would highly recommend Entourage! The 4 members of the band performed well and kept the dance floor full during their set - only downside was that they had to stop - we could have listened to them all night!
Chloe has a lovely voice and many people commented that they really enjoyed the band. They were professional, very easy to contact and answered all my questions promptly. We had them on a very warm night and a lot of people were sitting outside chatting and listening to them whilst enjoying a cool breeze. Thankyou!
Thank you to Champagne for a wonderful performance, the music was brilliant, Chloe has an amazing voice and the band were ready to perform in plenty of time, fitting round the events of our wedding. Everyone commented on how great they were. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again. Thank you.
Champagne played at our wedding and were amazing. Our first contact with them a few weeks before the wedding was friendly and helpful and we felt confident that we didn't need to worry about their part in the day. They were keen to find out what music we wanted them to play both live and between sets (we said yes to the free DJ). When they arrived (in good time despite a long journey) they set up quietly and were ready with our first dance song when we needed. Their set was brilliant; everyone danced for ages. We've had SO many people since the wedding tell us that the band were fantastic, that the singer was amazing and asking how we'd found them. We'd strongly recommend Champagne as a great band who are also friendly and put effort into tailoring their performance to the needs of the the people hiring them.
Champagne were excellent. We spoke to them before the wedding to let them know what we wanted for the feel of the day. They took our comments on board and totally delivered. They sang our first dance song perfectly and even checked what style we wanted it sang in. Chloe is a great singer with brilliant back up from the boys. They kept the party going all night and took on requests from us and the guests. We have had so many comments on how good the band were.
My wife and I booked Champagne to perform at our wedding reception. Before we met the band were really helpful and spent quite a while understanding the kind of music we wanted and gave us really helpful advice on the best times for them to play. We booked Champagne as a 3 piece band (due to space constraints). Right from the first dance song (which they learned especially for our event), the quality of the performance was fantastic. Without exaggerating, I can safely say every one of our 72 guests that day came to me specifically to comment on how good the band were. I think it speaks for itself that from the moment they started playing, the dance floor was full. I cannot recommend Champagne highly enough, they really enhanced evening - it really would not have been the same without them. If you are hesitating about whether to book Champagne, please don't - you will not be disappointed!
Mr and Mrs Crumbleholme, Wedding
I was intending to email you today to say thank you so so much for being absolutely amazing when performing at our wedding. You were brilliant and really made the reception lively and fun. I was so touched that you performed the two songs that I requested for the iPod playlist and your rendition of our first dance song was just magical. I think you could tell that everyone loved you as they made you keep going until you had no voice left; sorry about that! I would certainly recommend you to anyone else getting married and all my guests agreed that you were fab. Thanks so much!!!
Joanna & Craig Steffensen, Wedding
We picked Entourage for our wedding band and I cannot stress how fantastic this band is!!! They had everyone up on the dance floor as soon as the band started playing and Chloe started singing! The talent and professionalism of this band is second to none! We also opted for a DJ service which worked brilliantly alongside the band! Highly recommend!!!
Gareth & Sara Harle, Wedding
We couldn't speak more highly of Entourage and the performances they gave at our Wedding Reception. The band had to deal with very tight noise restrictions from our venue and they did this with professionalism and understanding. Even with these restrictions the band sounded fantastic! Our dance floor was full and many guests commented on the fantastic vocals and overall performance. They learnt our first dance for us and performed this excellently on the night, which added that extra special touch. Their communication and flexibility was also excellent. Anyone booking this band will not be disappointed!
Laura and Adam Sharpe, Wedding
Thanks Entourage. The music that your band played at our wedding was excellent, and all of our guests commented on how good it was. It was a bit of a risk booking a band that we hadn't heard before but the testimonials and varied set list helped us choose. The mix of songs ensured that the dancefloor was always full with guests of all ages. A perfect sound for a perfect day.
Andrea & Ed, Wedding
Entourage made our wedding really special with great music that all my friends wanted to get up and dance and sing along to! We all had a really great night, having the band made it much more fun. Lots of my friends commented after how great the music was. We would definitely recommend them - thanks again Entourage!
Dawn & Tim, Wedding
We had a fantastic time at our wedding and now the dust is settling we wanted to say a huge thank you for the part you played in making our day, truly a day to remember. The whole band was fantastic; you were so friendly and accommodating. We were a little concerned that our venue wasn't the biggest and our timing got a little out of sync. You accommodated this, our first dance, and our "guest" singer and took everything in your stride. The set you played was fantastic too with everyone dancing and commenting on what a great band we had chosen. A massive thank you! We would without doubt have no hesitation in recommending you and wish you the very best for the future.
Sylvia Riddell, Wedding
Just wanted to say thank you so much to Entourage for being so fab at the evening doo of our wedding on 1st July 2011. You were so professional and sounded great. Quite a few of our guests commented on how good you were and how amazing Chloe's voice was and we couldn't agree more - we would book you again without a second thought. You had everyone up and dancing and the music provided for between sets worked really well too. We can't thank you enough for helping to make our evening do so much fun. Thanks again!
Tom Clark
Aaron, just a quick note to say, what a great night on Saturday for the 3rd year running. Well done to all the band, the atmosphere was fantastic, and feed-back has been great once again. We are definitely booking you for next year…….keep the date free!!!!!
Natasha Rose, Wedding
Thank you to all in the Entourage for making our wedding unforgettable, the music was just brilliant and the dance floor was jam packed the whole night! The following day everyone commented on how great the band was - we would definitely book you again! And we really would. My highlight was Florence and the machine, you've got the love!
James & Jenny Hartley, Wedding
Entourage was the perfect wedding band. Right from the word go we were really impressed with how lengthy and varied their repertoire was covering all genres and eras that you could wish for. On the night they did not disappoint. Everyone was dancing nearly all night and the clamours for encores did not stop! I'm surprised you managed to get away when you did! As a tip we opted for the 5-piece line-up which I think was worth every penny if you can afford a little extra, but either way, a very slick and accomplished outfit that everyone complimented me on choosing so I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone. Thanks again!
Friends of KWC, Annual Ball
We hired Entourage for our Annual May Ball and were delighted with their performance and professionalism. Our guests' ages ranged from 18 – 60 and the dance floor was full the whole time thanks to the band's ability to perform for and please such a diverse group. We have had many requests for Entourage's details since our event, which is always a good sign, and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Tony Bolton, Charity Event
A top notch performance and really enjoyed by myself and all my guests. Your set up was brilliant my eldest son Chris and his partner Amanda are both musicians Chris has his own DJ business (a liitle alternative) did you notice the tall guy with the dreads and Amanda used to sing (still does in the bath) and they were both really impressed, Amanda described Entourage as 'really tight' not my terminology but I believe it means you were getting things right. Thanks for a great night and I'm sure your performance made my guests dig a little deeper, thank you.
Philippa Waddell, Wedding
Entourage played at our wedding May 2011. Despite an unusual venue, the middle of a field, they were able to give us exactly the experience we were looking for. They played a varied set that suited all ages and really got people dancing and were open to considering set list requests in advance. They learnt our first dance which made it seem a lot more personal. They had a friendly and down to earth approach that fit right in with the feel of our special day and were extremely professional before the day itself in making all the necessary arrangements. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others looking for a great live band for their own celebrations.
Tom Ogden
What a fantastic night! The band was awesome and very professional. They played to mixed crowd from 18 up to 70 and kept the dance floor busy all night. Highly recommended and we will be booking them again!
Claire & Mike Wright, Wedding
We booked Entourage for our son's wedding reception and their performance was the perfect end to a perfect day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music and people even started to dance during the sound check it was that good ! Chloe has an awesome voice backed up by some very talented musicians. As the saying goes, we could have danced all night. We would recommend Entourage without hesitation. Thanks Chloe et al.
Sgt Lee Thomas, RAF Cosford
I would like to express my opinion of the band we booked for our Officers' Mess Christmas Ball last night. The band were perfect for our function, their professionalism, enthusiasm and courteous manner complemented the evening's entertainment. Please pass on my thanks and recommendation for this band; I would without any hesitation recommend them.
Lucy Mauds, Peckforton Castle
The band's performance was a great end to a perfect day. The dance floor was always full and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the music. Entourage played as a 4 piece but with the use of their sequences they played every classic song just like the original. Please accept our kindest thanks for a most brilliant way to help celebrate our special day.
Mr. M Lancaster, Royal Liverpool Golf Club
Entourage were fantastic at our wedding - I can't thank you all enough. We had a lot of musicians amongst our guests and even before you'd finished your first song people were telling me how impressed they were. The quality of music, sound and lighting, was superb throughout. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Entourage.
Mrs. H Mack, British Gas
Entourage were recommended to our firm by some colleges that had booked them previously for a summer ball. They were outstanding and didn't disappoint at all, very professional,Chloe's awesome soulful voice and top tunes... we could have danced till dawn, and will do next year. Not only were they impressive, but the DJ they supplied worked fantastically along side them. Highly recommended
Margot Beck, Oswestry School Summer Ball Just a note to say that the ball was a great success due in no small part to the music provided by yourselves. The combination of old favourites and up to date music was a perfect mix for our ball. All in all it was perfect.
Deborah Gorick, Private Wedding Just wanted to say thanks for Saturday. The band were brilliant and we've heard nothing but compliments about you all. Will be recommending you and will certainly be in touch if we're having another party

Matthew McConaughey may be one of the most famous actors in the world, but he's also one of the most underrated. He shifts seamlessly from rom-coms to action, while cultivating a bunch of solid indie work and supporting roles on the side. He's still best known for his cool, cocky grin, Texas swagger and off-screen antics (naked bongo drum party, anyone?), though that's slowly been changing in recent years with memorable turns in Killer Joe, Magic Mike and Mud.
Finally, the real game-changer is here. McConaughey's work as an HIV positive man supplying drugs for fellow patients in Dallas Buyer's Club is undeniably excellent, and we're sure to see him on awards show short lists in coming months. Obviously this is a great time to brush up on McConaughey's most memorable roles, and we've got a perfect list of his finest films for you to review. Some are excellent, some are terrible, and some are recommended to VH1 by the actor himself. Behold, the 20 Most Essential Matthew McConaughey Movies to watch RIGHT NOW. (In reverse chronological order, because we're anal like that.)

She was a guidance counselor and a cheerleading coach; he was an 18-year old senior football player at Ringgold High School.
On Thursday, Rostraver Township police went to the home of Lianne Danko, allowed her to make arrangements for her children's care, then handcuffed the 33-year-old woman and arrested her on a charges of institutional sexual assault against the student.
VIDEO: Watch Bob Mayo's report
Police said the alleged relationship began when the student went to Danko in her role as a counselor to talk about his problems. It ended up with Danko becoming the teen's girlfriend and sex partner, police said.
The former Ringgold School District employee was suspended then resigned when the allegations first came to light in February. She is now charged with three counts of institutional sex assault against the student.
The criminal complaint alleges that Danko pursued a sexual relationship with the student, sending him increasingly frequent and intimate text messages, including a photo of herself in lingerie. The student told police she was talking and texting with him almost daily; that she told him he was attractive and that she wanted to cuddle and have sex.
They allegedly met twice for sex in the student's car at a park-and-ride lot in Rostraver last November.
"Danko told the student he could not tell anybody about them having sex because she could lose her job," said Chief Gregory Resetar, of Rostraver Police.
Danko's alleged behavior at a Ringgold football game raised suspicions with some observers. Police said she was seen wearing a sweatshirt with the teen's name written on the back, while giving the high school football player a hug as he coming off the playing field.
"She had approached him and there was an embrace between her and him," which stuck witnesses as odd behavior, said Rostraver Police Lt John Christner.
"Danko told the student that they would have their own place and (that) after he graduates they can make it official," said Resetar.
The relationship came to light, police say, when the alleged victim bragged about it to another student, who then notified a different guidance counselor. The Ringgold school district then contacted police.
"Luckily we did have a student who stepped forward to a guidance counselor and let us know about this, and we took care of it as soon as we possibly could," said Dr. Karen Polkabla, Ringgold School superintendent.
"Parents must be aware of what's going on in their student's lives and they need to tell us so that we can help. Because if we don't know, there's nothing we can do about it," Polkabla said.
Resetar said it makes no difference under the law that the student was 18.
"As long as a student is still a student within a school district, it would be inappropriate for any teacher, especially a guidance counselor, to overstep that boundary. She's in a position of power, authority, supervision, discipline, Resetar said. "Danko crossed the lines of professionalism and the statutory boundary which constitutes institutional sexual assault," he said.
Ringgold School District is in Washington County. Jurisdiction for law enforcement and prosecution is in Rostraver, Westmoreland County, where the most serious crimes allegedly occurred.
Danko declined to comment as officers escorted her out of the police station to take her to District Judge Joseph Dalfonso's office for arraignment. After her arraignment she was freed on bond and she faces a preliminary hearing on May 29 at 10:45 a.m. before Dalfonso.

Dance doyennes join Tanghalang Pilipino's 26th season
More News from Walter Ang
Musicals dominate TanghalangPilipino's line-up for its 26th season (2012-2013) and three doyennes of dance will be part of bringing the productions to life.
The resident theater company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines will collaborate with Edna Vida, Denisa Reyes and Agnes Locsin; they will choreograph one production each. Each production will feature a different genre: sarsuwela, bodabil and ethnic-rock.
All three have been artistic directors of Ballet Philippines, one of CCP's resident dance companies: Vida in 1989, Reyes in the early '90s and again in the early 2000s, and Locsin in the mid and late '90s.
All three were trained in, taught, and choreographed ballet, but are also known to have eventually deliberately broken the classical lines of ballet in their choreographies of modern and neo-ethnic works.
They've all choreographed for TP before: Vida for "Banaag at Sikat," Reyes for "HukumanniSinukuan," and Locsin for "Noli Me Tangere."
No wound, no blinking
The season begins with "WalangSugat," a sarsuwela by Severino Reyes about a young couple torn apart by the Philippine revolution against Spain but are eventually (and comically) reunited.
Filmmaker Carlos Siguion-Reynawill direct with musical direction by Chino Toledo. Vida will choreograph.
"WalangSugat" runs August 9-27.
The lone play for this season is "Walang Kukurap," a suspense thriller that "reveals the shady politics and unethical business practices so prevalent in the Philippines today."
Written by Layeta Bucoy and to be directed by TuxqsRutaquio, "Walang Kukurap" runs September 14-October 7.
'Bodabil,' ethnic-rock
"Stageshow," a musical by Mario O' Hara is about a group of Filipino artists in the twilight of their careers, set against the dying days of the bodabil-also known as "stage shows."
Chris Millado will direct, with musical direction by Jeff Hernandez. Denisa Reyes will choreograph.
"Stageshow" runs October 10-21.
"Ibalong," an ethnic-rock musical by Rody Vera based on the Bicol epic, will be directed by Tuxqs Rutaquio with musical direction by Carol Bello. Locsin will choreograph
"Ibalong" runs February 8-March 3, 2013.
The three musicals will be staged at Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino and "Walang Kukurap" will be staged at Tanghalang Huseng Batute.
Bigger, braver
Last season, the company was beset with last-minute changes to its announced season line-up. Two productions were bumped off: a Filipino children's musical adaptation of "The Emperor's New Clothes" and a translation of Nick Joaquin's "Portrait of the Artist as Filipino," which had Helen Gamboa and Gina Pareño attached to play the main roles.
This season, TP takes on a big challenge since musicals and new works are more expensive to stage and TanghalangTolentino's 420 seats can be harder to fill compared to TanghalangBatute's 200 seats. Two out of the three musicals are new works; "Walang Sugat!" is the only work that has been previously staged.
Nonetheless, TP artistic director Fernando Josef is undaunted. "[We] have no choice but to continue to follow TP's raison d'etre, that we must bravely pursue creating theater that promotes Filipino aesthetics and theater forms and content," he says.
Open for sponsorship
He notes that while it's tempting to "just do commercial productions that will be sure box-office hits," TP hopes that all its productions will push through this season "because our goals are good and noble, if I may say it. We are doing our darn best to realize all these great plans, which are well thought-of as they consider artistic goals, cultural advocacies and education advocacies."
The company is announcing its line-up this early is to allow businesses, organizations and schools enough planning time to consider sponsoring or buying shows. "Sponsors for the entire season or per production or even per show are welcome. Rows of seats or entire shows can be bought at discounted rates. This scheme also allows enterprising buyers to raise funds by selling tickets at full-price."
All productions feature members of Actors Company, TP's resident pool of actors. AC scholars, apprentices and members go through continuous training in acting, movement, dance, voice, script analysis, improvisation, directing and other related courses.
Casting choices and design collaborators (set, costume and lighting) will be announced by the company as the season progresses, "to allow for surprises along the way," says Josef.
All shows are open for sponsors and showbuyers. Group, student and senior citizen discounts available. Call 8226920 or 8323661.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Cotton Eyed Joe
"Cotton Eyed Joe" frequently soundtracks events both celebratory and soused, be it at Yankee Stadium (in its Rednex techno incarnation) or at a boot-scooting wedding in rural Texas (see Urban Cowboy's spoke-line dance). The song's a folk standard that predates the American Civil War, and it's easy to miss its lyrical core of heartbreak and abandonment amid the dancing frenzy it now evokes. As rendered by star-crossed Greenwich Village folk goddess Karen Dalton, one is hard-pressed to even imagine such bacchanal. Instead, Dalton deploys a devastating stratagem that Cat Power would use nearly 40 years later on 2000's The Covers Record: Take the overly familiar and sing it lonesome.
That Dalton made but two studio albums makes this archival find all the more bittersweet. Subtitled The Loop Tapes/Live in Boulder 1962, this weighty two-CD/one-DVD package captures Dalton early on, before her hard-living lifestyle mummified her. Young and sober, she still sounds ancient, her voice evoking both the human pain of Billie Holiday and the natural ruggedness of a billy goat. Fingerpicking both 12-string and banjo, she has a tone that's deliberate yet chiming. She works her way through two sets of blues standards and tunes from Greenwich neighbor (and similarly troubled folk demi-god) Fred Neil. On work songs like "Everytime I Think of Freedom" or "Run Tell That Major," her rhythm mimics that of a pick or shovel, sharp and flinty. One can easily picture Dalton coming in from the cotton fields—rather than strumming in a teeny folk club—hands calloused, singing when the sun goes down.

Almost forgot-used guyere cheese and stoned ground mustard. Yummy!
Made this for hubby's "Beer CLub"(fancy name for guys who love to taste beers from around the world) -these guys are serious about great beer/food combos and these sausages were fabulous. Did marinate in the beer and served the onions that were poached with them. Did some open-faced on slabs of pumpernickel bread with cheese and sauerkraut and run under boiler-rest had brat buns. One guy bought real German tater salad. Memorable meal all around. Beer guys recommend using the Saranac(or any)Boch. Yum.
Excellent tip to caramelize the onions, thanks!
While grilling the sausages, I poured off the beer and, adding some oil and butter and some sugar, I caramelized the onions and served them with the sausages. Served it with sauerkraut with caraway.
Don't let the name fool you. I inherited this from a young nephew many years ago. I love making sausages on the grill and while I haven't tried this I know it will be fantastic. Poaching is a must! Re:Alcohol. A chef once told me, if you won't drink it, don't cook with it. Sorry Bud lovers. Today I found this and it will be part of my Super Bowl Party menu for 2006. I will have several types of sausages, mustard and various toppings. Ketchup, you gotta be kidding! Hot dog buns, NO,NO,NO! Come on, you can do better than that. ENJOY.
This is so easy and sooo tasty. Total Keeper
This is a great outdoor meal. I use Sam Adams beer and marinate the meat in beer for an hour or two before hand, then poach in the beer and onion mixture....cover sausages with olive oil, grill until crispy. Serve with saurkraut and grilled onions.
allright, here is the way this works the best. i marinated my sausages in about 20 oz olde english 800 (the maltier the better) with about 1 dozen garlic cloves (minced)and i habenero pepper (diced) for an hour. then i poached the brats in the liquid, then i grilled the brats over direct heat until they were suffciently browned on all sides. they tasted like heaven, if heaven is spicy, garlickly and malty all at sweet once.
Only had 8 oz. of beer on hand, but even with the weak poaching liquid, our brats turned out nicely. Next time we'll try the tip to marinate in beer before poaching.
I invited the girls for a cook-out, and decided to make this recipe..It turned out to be a collossal failure, the first time. I used "pre-cooked" brats instead of the un-cooked. When I removed the lid after the precribed time, the brat were split and in pieces. I persevered, however, and bought more brats and did it exactly as the recipe instructs. They were excellent...All was well, all was happy.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a two-seat, twin-engined, all-weather, long-range supersonic fighter-bomber originally developed for the U.S. Navy by McDonnell Aircraft. Proving highly adaptable, it became a major part of the air wings of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force. It was used extensively by all three of these services during the Vietnam War, serving as the principal air superiority fighter for both the Navy and Air Force, as well as being important in the ground-attack and reconnaissance roles by the close of U.S. involvement in the war.
First entering service in 1960, the Phantom continued to form a major part of U.S. military air power throughout the 1970s and 1980s, being gradually replaced by more modern aircraft such as the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon in the U.S. Air Force and the F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet in the U.S. Navy. It remained in service in the reconnaissance and Wild Weasel roles in the 1991 Gulf War, finally leaving service in 1996. The Phantom was also operated by the armed forces of 11 other nations. Israeli Phantoms saw extensive combat in several Arab-Israeli conflicts, while Iran used its large fleet of Phantoms in the Iran-Iraq War. Phantoms remain in front line service with seven countries, and in use as an unmanned target in the U.S. Air Force.
Phantom production ran from 1958 to 1981, with a total of 5,195 built. This extensive run makes it the second most-produced Western jet fighter, behind the famous F-86 Sabre at just under 10,000 examples.
The F-4 Phantom was designed as a fleet defense fighter for the U.S. Navy, and first entered service in 1960. By 1963, it had been adopted by the U.S. Air Force for the fighter-bomber role. When production ended in 1981, 5,195 Phantom IIs had been built, making it the most numerous American supersonic military aircraft. Until the advent of the F-15 Eagle, the F-4 also held a record for the longest continuous production for a fighter with a run of 24 years. Innovations in the F-4 included an advanced pulse-doppler radar and extensive use of titanium in its airframe.
Despite the imposing dimensions and a maximum takeoff weight of over 60,000 pounds (27,000 kg), the F-4 had a top speed of Mach 2.23 and an initial climb of over 41,000 ft per minute (210 m/s). Shortly after its introduction, the Phantom set 15 world records, including an absolute speed record of 1,606.342 mph (2,585.086 km/h), and an absolute altitude record of 98,557 ft (30,040 m). Although set in 1959-1962, five of the speed records were not broken until 1975 when the F-15 Eagle came into service.
The F-4 could carry up to 18,650 pounds (8,480 kg) of weapons on nine external hardpoints, including air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, and unguided, guided, and nuclear bombs. Since the F-8 Crusader was to be used for close combat, the F-4 was designed, like other interceptors of the day, without an internal cannon. In a dogfight, the RIO or WSO (commonly called "backseater" or "pitter") assisted in spotting opposing fighters, visually as well as on radar. It became the primary fighter-bomber of both the Navy and Air Force by the end of the Vietnam War.
Due to its distinctive appearance and widespread service with United States military and its allies, the F-4 is one of the best-known icons of the Cold War. It served in the Vietnam War and Arab-Israeli conflicts, with American F-4 crews achieving 277 aerial victories in Southeast Asia and completing countless ground attack sorties.

Wingspan: 6.25 inches

Release Date: December 2009
Historical Account: "The Modern Luftwaffe" - In June 1959, West Germany's first jet fighter unit was formed as Jagdgeschwader 71 (JG 71 – Fighter Wing 71). The Geschwaderkommodore (equivalent of Group Commander or Wing Commander) was the highest-scoring fighter pilot of all time, Erich Hartmann. JG 71 was originally based at ex-RAF base Ahlhorn but in 1961 it transferred to Wittmund. April 21st, 1961, was the 43rd anniversary of the death of "The Red Baron", Manfred Von Richthofen, so the unit was given the honorary title of "Richthofen". JG 71 received the first F-4F Phantom II in 1974, which were employed in a multi-mission role but in 1988, the unit was strictly converted into a fighter wing. The F-4F is due to be decommissioned in 2012 when they are replaced by the more modern Eurofighter Typhoon.

CINCINNATI — The Reds
put catcher Devin Mesoraco on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a
sore left hip that limited him to pinch hitting and filling in as an
interleague DH for the past six weeks.
CINCINNATI — The Reds haven't lost so many games in a row since Jack McKeon was in charge. And that was six managers ago.
Indians manager Terry Francona remained upbeat as his team struggled
through the first six weeks of the season. That approach might be paying
NEW YORK (AP) — Pete
Rose's role at the All-Star game in Cincinnati will be determined by
Major League Baseball and the Reds after they determine what other
obligations the banned career hits leader has.
Officials with the Cincinnati Reds say the fireworks smokestack at Great
American Ballpark that caught fire last week has been inspected by
engineers and is expected to be up and running when the team returns for
its next home game Monday.
CITY, Mo. (AP) — While the Kansas City Royals are off to the best start
in franchise history, the Cincinnati Reds are in a tailspin.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — When Johnny Cueto starts for Cincinnati, the Reds' offense usually takes the day off.
CINCINNATI — Bryan Price knows Cincinnati Reds' pitchers stumbled against the San Francisco Giants. He was not saying what changes are ahead.
Jason Marquis lasted only three innings. One of the home run smokestacks
caught fire and burned away for an inning until the fire department
sprayed it out. Nothing went right for Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI — Reds rookie Raisel Iglesias may have pitched his way on to the Reds' roster.
CINCINNATI — Limited to pinch hitting for most of the past month, Devin Mesoraco finally got a chance to make a difference.
Reds third baseman Todd Frazier is aching for another chance at the
All-Star home run derby after finishing second last season.
Tenn. (AP) — Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton went 0 for 4 in a
rehab appearance with Triple-A Round Rock on Monday night.
CINCINNATI — Aroldis Chapman took a ninth-inning loss for the second game in a row — something that very rarely happens.

Synthetic grip compression question
I am testing out a few leather grips to try and match the thickness of a standard synthetic grip.
Most synthetic grips seem to be about 1.7 to 2mm thick. My initial thought was a leather grip that comes in at 1.8mm would replicate the thickness, but I didnt take into account the compression that naturally happens once you grip a synth grip, compared to a firmer leather grip.
Therefore, in your opinions, do you think that to replicate thickness more accurately, a leather grip that is 1.5mm thick would be more like for like than one that is 1.8mm?

Discussion in 'Saltwater' started by Peter Pancho, Sep 2, 2008.
what salt water boat to get for less than 5,000? Primarily for the slow sound and hood canal.
how do you want to use it, do you have a tow vehicle, what size are you thinking, how many people, do you want to be sheltered? .... Sorry for the grammer this is from my wireless.
Find a used Whaler that needs some TLC and baby her up. Wet ride, but she'll float for ever and can handle most Puget Sound Ops. Anything in great shape, newer model or higher end (Grady White, hell most Whalers) will cost a lot more. I'm sure other members have a better idea, but that's what came to mind. Hell my new flats boat has a sticker of over 40 grand. Boats are money pits, we all know that. Good luck and tight lines! Duff
How about mine? I haven't advertised it yet but it's a 14' Livingston with 30 HP Oil injected Yamaha & 4 HP 4-stroke Yamaha kicker and Galvanized trailer. A very safe stable fishing boat without the higher cost and wetter ride of a much older Boston Whaler. Easy to tow without a truck and piece of cake to launch. This boat is turnkey and ready to fish. Engine always flushed and boat and trailer washed down after each trip out and it shows. Kicker only occasionally used, 30HP Yamaha has 160 hours and is a fuel efficient reliable 2-stroke oil injected engine. The Coho are coming any day now! You won't find a better value in a boat for its size, safety and reliability. Serious inquires only. $4,600 or $3,950 without 4hp Yamaha Kicker. PM me if you want more details and photos. Many extras included.
Smokercraft Alaskan 14 or 15', with the open floorboard, with 25 hp four stroke (if possible) outboard. You can get them with two strokes, which work great (I have one).
It's easy to tow, inexpensive to own (tabs, aluminum needs no maintenance, trailer tabs cheap, etc.), easy to operate even with just one person, fishes two people well, etc.
From time to time you find a Smokercraft Lodge 15, which I would prefer (a little heavier and is wider) for just over $5k, but they often have a 25 hp, which is on the light side for that boat. That would be my recommendation if you could find one within your budget.
There are other boats/models out there I would like to have (Fisher, Crestliner, other Smokercraft models like the Osprey or Tracer, Tracker, G3, or Lund), but they are more than the budget you noted. The Smokercraft is juuuust fine. :thumb: My fishing pal Steve has a standing offer that if I ever sell mine, he's first in line.
I know Duroboats are popular around here, and they are a good boat, but they usually don't have the flooring configuration (flat floor, split seats) in the smaller size that I want.
The boat is important, but pay particular attention to the outboard. Bummer to be out on the water and have it crap out on you . . . and it's the most expensive part of the boat to repair or replace if it gives up. Caveat emptor.
Good luck.
If I had five grand, my kids and I would be decked out in Kayaks.
Now is the perfect time to buy a boat. The industry is at an all time low. Inventories are at an all time high and dealerships are going under. If you look around, you might be really suprised to find how much 5,000 dollars can buy. Just beware....if you buy a boat from certain manufacturers, the boat can't be warrantied if that company is no longer in business.
This is kind of funny because I asked exactly the same question a year ago. Even had the same budget. And Nutty Squirrel even offered his Livingston which I'm sure is a good boat.(I think he just maybe is attached to it and hasn't really tried too hard to sell it)
I totally blew my 5 K budget and went with this Smokercraft I fouind on Craigs list. No regrets.
As was advised the outboard is key.
I had a deep 12' Lund once that was a great Puget Sound boat. The ex sold it when I wasn't looking.
I do like aluminum because they are light and easy to tow. A fiberglass boat will give you a more comfortable ride in the chop I think.
Sorry duplicate post
Michael has it right I have not even half heartedly tried to sell the boat. I really don't want too since it's the perfect size to trailer and easily launch but it's getting way to small for my growing family. I keep saying to myself I will sell this season and it never seems to happen primarily since my dream is to have a 18' Whaler Outrage or Grady but don't have $15K laying around for a twenty year old boat.
I agree with everything posted so far. My first boat was a 12' Smokercraft Alaskan and it went anywhere I needed on a nice day(Not windy) (I fish all over MA10). Lund's are good, Duroboats I really like too. Some people hate the cat style of a Livingston or Sorenson but they are quieter more comfortable and way more stable than a traditional small 12-14 V-hull for standing and casting.
My only other advice is don't buy anything too big. I think the bigger the boat the less you are inclined to take it out for a few hours before/after work. I can go anywhere in the sound that a 20-30' boat can go for a fraction of the cost and way less hassle. I have very little maintance to do other than wash everything down and flush the engine each outing. Good luck in your search.
i'd be looking for a welded aluminum 16-17' with a 4 stroke of some kind, on a trailer. if you doubled your budget, you could find a swell boat that would do the job. gregor, as a brand, comes to mind. if you keep the horsepower down, these boats don't weigh very much and can be man handled on most any ramp, no matter how bad the pitch. going into fiberglass, you will add a huge amount of additional weight and limit your access simply because you will have to search out better launch sites.
My suggestion is to NOT buy until later in the year unless you find a deal or just what you are looking for. Salmon season brings out the guys just trying to make a buck - unlike Nutty Squirrel of course.
Some things I strongly considered, other than the obvious
- Outboard is KEY! If it goes TU after you buy it, good luck affording a new one
- 4-stroke can troll and expand your range w/o mixing fuel
- Next best is oil injected yamaha!
- buy something w/ good resale value in case you want something different. This means stay with name brands people know and Outboards people like.
- When you buy, talk the seller into caughing up as many extras as you can see laying around in their garage! Even oars cost too much - price this stuff at West Marine, as you likely already know!
- Take your time and enjoy shopping and perfect your boat whoring skills during this years salmon season!
I ended up with an 18' welded aluminum Weldcraft that I really like. Of course it was more than I planned to spend, but I am taking the family to Port Townsend this weekend for the wood boat festival and I have no worries with the crossing and who knows, may fish my way across!
Even though I have my boat I still cruise craigs list. I like looking at the Portland ads too.
You see more aluminum boats I think in your price range.
This could be a decent deal.
For fly fishing on puget sound: 13' boston whaler. Great casting platform for two people, indestructable, low fuel consumption. They can be a bit wet and uncomfortable in rough weather, but when are you ever out fly fishing in that weather anyway?
I agree with JeffD on outboards - they can run forever with the right maintenance, but you can end up spending alot of cash if yours dies. Yamahas rock if you can find them. Four stroke is even better.
I have a 14' Livingston (1977) with an Evinrude 35hp (1986). It takes oil gas mix which is inconvenient, but sips gas. I really don't use it much since I have no friends and two very young kids, but this year we used it several more times than the past two or three years. I recently added a casting platform that spans the entire front area. Old as hell, but runs well and will float even if filled with water. I have friends who have whalers and love them. I bought what my limited budget would allow many years ago and I'm pleased with that choice so far. Good luck.
My 2 cents is to approach the purchase of a used boat as you would your search for a mate (or a partner to be more PC). There are so many good choices out there, why would you limit yourself to a single ideal, just because somebody else recommends it as being what worked for them. Who would approached dating with the mindset of "My brother got a great girl, so I am only looking for a 5'-8" blond, 120 lbs with green eyes who graduated cum laude from an ivy leage school and does standup comedy on the weekends"? That mindset will keep you single (or boatless) for a long, long time.
I'd recommend deciding what elements are "must haves" for your boat. Keep it simple and broad and limit it to a maximum of three things. We know your first thing....price. The next two "must have" are up to you. The criteria can be as impractical or as practical as you are ….easy on the eyes, fast runner, low maintenance, good pedigree, etc. I would strongly recommend that you don't get too specific on makes and models because, let's be honest, in your price range the world is not your oyster. I'd even go as far as to avoid the aluminum versus fiberglass or 2 stroke versus 4 stroke debate at this stage.
Then start to date around. Look on line on Craigslist, the classified section on WFF, in the paper or in the Litltle Nickel to see what is available. Go look at a few in person. Test the waters. Expect this to take a few weeks or even months. Don't jump in bed with the first one that comes around. Wait until you have a good idea what is out in the market and what kind of "extra's" you may be able to get out of the relationship. As with a good partner, after the "must haves" of the moment are lost to time it will be those less tanagible "extra's" that you will appreciate and will give you happiness over the long haul.
After you've done the dating scene for while you will know a good deal and one day you will see that one boat that you fall for and by then you will be ready to make your move. I would be willing to bet that the boat you end up getting at this point may be quite a bit different from the "ideal" boat you had in your mind when you started out.
For my last (and current) boat I started with these "must haves":
Budget less than $10K.
Able to have 2 guys flyfish from standing (duh)
Trailerable and able to park in my driveway.
I spent about a month on Craigslist every few days, stopped on the roadside to look at innumerable boats for sale in people's yards, trolled the classifieds, etc. Over time I learned that in my price range I should expect to get a boat with a decent sized 2 cycle outboard (50 to 100 hp), mid 90's vintage or earlier, newer galvanized trailer, basic electronics, and a servicable kicker. I still had not decided on glass versus aluminum and I quickly determined a 4 cycle was not in my price range. I also became convinced that a center console was for me, and that became a "must have" and helped narrow my search. Many boats came and went...Alaskans, Parkers, Whalers...all pretty but even ones in my price range didn't seem to offer the full package I wanted and they never really clicked. Then one day I saw "my boat" come up on Craigslist. I was mine and I knew it. I went to look at it the next day with money in my pocket and I bought it on the spot with a full priced offer.
It is a 1982 Privateer 18 ft center console with a 1994 75HP Merc and a matching 15HP, self bailing, good fish finder, older but high end GPS, a one year-old King galvanized roller bunk trailer, rod holders, fish boxes, bow rail, etc. Best thing is I got it all for about $7K, quite a bit under my budget. This let me upgrade it with an electric bow mounted motor and a nice cover and still have money left over for maintenance/gas.
It is about 10 years older than I ever thought I would ever be caught dead owning. It is unique enought that I get a lot of questions about it and it has nice lines although no head turner. The console works loose all the time and the oil injection system on the Merc has been a headache… but she is stable, safe, and solid and get's up and goes nicely at WOT. Overall a great boat and I have been enjoying it more and more every year.
But most of all it is the things I didn't really value as "must haves" at the time that I have really appreciated and they will definitely be "must haves" on my next boat. The King trailer shows no signs of rust although I have used it exclusively in the salt. The roller bunks have been day-savers when you have to launch or retrieving at low tide. I can crank the boat on the trailer without even having the hubs submerged. The 15 HP kicker is likely the best motor I've ever owned on any boat…starts first pull each time and runs strong. I don't think I'll part with it until they finally ban 2 strokes for good.
Is it the "Perfect" boat? No way. Would I rather have an 18' Dauntless with a 135hp 4 stroke? Hell yeah! Am I willing or able to shell out $30K for that boat? Hell no! So I better be happy with what I got…As they say don't let the "Perfect" be the enemy of the "Good."
That's it. In a perfect world, for me, the o/b would be a four stroke, but some folks prefer the two stroke.
I bet it moves through the water pretty good with that 40hp!
Probably the max recommended.
I've got it. Buy my dads' 13' bBoston Whaler. He wants an inflatable tender.
Tom C.
A new 2 stroke will weigh 20% less, be more powerful, and use just about the same amount of fuel as a 4 stroke. I just bought a 175 e-tec cheaper than I could buy the Yamaha 4 stroke. No maintenance for 3 years. No oil changes. I can troll with it. These are state of the art motors, and a lot of people are making the switch back to 2 stroke. Check them out before you jump. The weight difference alone will mean a lot on a small boat.

VERY small sizing. I wear a juniors size 11 in every brand I can think of and the Large (10-14)... well let's just say there's no way. Way too tight in the arms and chest and the 'apron' didn't reach in the back. Cute costume, but unless you're tiny, I don't recommend it.BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love love love this costume! It looks very close to the one Rocket wears in the movie. The quality of the material is actually pretty good for a halloween costume and well worth the price I think. The only down fall is that the sizing is a bit weird. I'm 5'8 around 145-150 lbs I'm normally a…BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Bradley R. Coolman, DVM (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
Description: This clinical procedures paperback book includes 33 chapters under three section headings: routine clinical procedures, specialized clinical procedures, and routine clinical procedures in the rabbit. This is a second edition of the original version published in 1987.
Purpose: It is intended as a textbook for veterinary technicians and veterinary students as well as a clinical tool for veterinarians and technicians in practice. The scope of the manual is limited to procedures and techniques that can be performed in the average small animal practice. The authors successfully cover a wide variety of clinical techniques.
Audience: The book is targeted at veterinary and veterinary technology students as well as individuals engaged in small animal and laboratory animal practice. The book would be most useful for students and those who are unfamiliar with certain procedures. Practicing veterinarians and experienced technicians would find much of the information too basic for them.
Features: The illustrations are black-and-white drawings of the procedures and are of sufficient detail and quality to assist the reader in understanding the described techniques. Most of the references are 10 to 20 years old. There are probably more current references available for most of the procedures, which should be cited. The most valuable feature is the format that lists the technical action and rationale in two parallel columns. This format helps the reader understand the "how" and the "why" of a given clinical procedure.
Assessment: This is a useful book for students of veterinary medicine and veterinary technology. The majority of practicing veterinarians and experienced technicians would not benefit from much of the material in this book. The book adequately covers most routine and advanced clinical procedures used in practice.
