Joshua Tavion Lee Graves was born at 2:34 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 2. He is the first baby of the New Year to be born at Taylor Regional Hospital.

In all, eight babies were being tended to on Friday at the Women's Center.
A local teenager has won the Miss Kentucky Teen USA crown.
Jefra Bland, 18, competed against 36 other teens from around the state at Murray State University on Dec. 19 and 20.
Bland is the daughter of Jeff and Vicki Bland of Campbellsville.
A press release about the pageant, which was hosted in conjunction with the Miss Kentucky USA pageant, was not available until last week.
On Saturday, Dec. 20, the teenagers from cities around the state competed for the crown in personal interview, physical fitness and evening gown competition.
There's fewer drug dealers on the streets of Campbellsville these days and Campbellsville Police Chief Dennis Benningfield said one police officer helped lead the crackdown - Shannon Wilson.
"He's been very aggressive in making drug-related arrests and seizures," Benningfield said. "He's helped us take a few big drug dealers off the streets."
It's that effort that helped make Wilson the Officer of the Year. But Wilson won't take the credit. He says it was truly a team effort.
Applications for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program's crisis component will be accepted beginning today.

The remaining two indictments in a crime ring case involving seven Campbellsville residents and a Greensburg man have been unsealed.
A Taylor Circuit Court judge unsealed the indictments last week.

Indicted were Brittany L. Cox, 20, of 230 Eads St. in Campbellsville and Ronald Neal Harmon Jr., 38, of 529 Oakes Road in Greensburg.

Haddam has many educational facilities consisting of all elementary, junior, and senior high schools. The town is a part of a Regional District 17 which comprises Haddam, Higganum, neighboring town Killingworth and also Haddam Neck, a part of Haddam that is separated by the Connecticut River and East Haddam. It is the only town in the United States without a bridge to connect the separated parts and also the only town in Connecticut to be separated by a river.
The three elementary schools in the district are:
Haddam Elementary School - located in Higganum, CT
Burr District Elementary School - located in Higganum, CT
Killingworth Elementary School - located in Killingworth, CT
The district high school, Haddam-Killingworth High School, is located in Higganum, CT and houses all students from 9th grade and above. The high school is part of a complex and shares facilities with the old attached district middle school. The intermediate School, Haddam-Killingworth Middle School, is located in the town of Killingworth and houses 5th grade - 8th grade. Initially, the plan was to have the old Middle School complex become a part of the Haddam-Killingworth HS. The old Middle School part of the complex was converted into a district-run daycare facility, the main offices of the district administration, and also houses the local trooper station.
The high school houses between 580 and 720 students depending on the year. Some students from the district middle school end up transferring to area technical, religious, private, or magnet schools. One nearby option for students is Xavier (boys) or Mercy (girls), both are Catholic High Schools in neighboring Middletown, CT. The Haddam Killingworth's mascot is the Cougar with school colors of blue and gold.
In recent years it has been praised for its field hockey, soccer, baseball and cross country teams. The school also has many art & music offerings and has students annually in regional and national competitions.

Ranger "Prose" Ignatius
Prose had been twiddling his thumbs for a few days now. He had just finished the grilling of the officials on his past, one that he tried his best not to reveal. It was a good thing that he never was discovered to actually be a part of…
"Knock, knock," a voice said from outside his door. "Prose, you got an assignment; check the listing."
"Finally," he whispered to himself.
Prose wheeled himself to the computer and woke it up. In his spare time, he had been creating new coding for some device or another. The program must have still been on when he fell asleep last night out of exhaustion. He liked to keep in shape and pushed himself hard, as at even 21 years the body can still grow.
He closed the beta program and opened the Park's database, checking the new request listing. There he saw it, "Prose Ignatius" assigned to "Jay." It was a simple name, but he didn't mind. What interested him was the choice of companions.
Jay had brought in a Zoroark, a very rare Pokémon indeed. It would help against most of the Pokémon in the park, and he had a Shelmet, which would be good to use against Dark-type Pokémon. However, the Unfezant seemed to be just another Pokémon to do basic damage for there were very few Pokémon weak against Flying-types.
Prose shut down his laptop and placed his white trench-coat on himself. Looking in the mirror, he donned his white beret on his aqua hair. He made sure that he had his Pokémon ready, just in case a problem might arise. Each one was a loyal subject, noticing the strength he possessed, even if he did acquire some under suspect conditions.
He locked his door before heading out to the front desk. He filled his bag with some basic supplies, as it didn't seem like Jay had purchased things like medicinal herbs.
The receptionist was an attractive blonde no more than twenty or so. She winked at Prose and said, "Tonight we should celebrate your first run; maybe we can take a ferry to a port town and go to a bar?"
"I'm sorry, Quinn; another time," Prose said somberly.
Quinn pouted. "Outpost #8. Meteor Valley. Be safe."
Prose turned and walked out of the Ranger Station almost coldly. He knew that he shouldn't leave the island. Not yet…
Lucky for him, Outpost #8 was right in the middle of the Park, so he didn't have to lead Jay far. He leaned up against a nearby tree and waited for his trainer to arrive.

Divorce is an unfortunate yet relatively common issue that couples around the world face on a daily basis. Whether a couple mutually decides that they are better people without one another or if a relationship ends badly – divorce is quite prevalent. With that being said, it is important for couples to consider what their lives will be like as individual people and how they will be able to cope with their divorce. Below are a collection of tips that you can use to understand how to cope with divorce.
1. Recognize Why the Divorce Ended
The first thing that will help you to get over your divorce is to realize why the divorce happened in the first place. The majority of couples end their relationship for a specific reason and it is important that you remember what that reason is as it will help you to get over your ex-spouse. The sooner that you are able to realize why the relationship failed – the sooner you will return to your original self. It is important to move on as it will essentially set you free to live your life happily.
2. Using Friends and Family
Friends and family are two of the most important groups of people that you will want to turn to after your divorce. Once you are without your significant other, you will begin to realize that you have more time to yourself and for yourself. You will want to consider hanging out with your friends and family members more often as you will have less daily responsibilities. Even try reconnecting with old friends because you would be surprised at how much fun they could be!
3. Start Dating
Depending on the length of your marriage, the world of dating may be a foreign concept to you. Luckily, there are hundreds of different dating options available now that weren't available when you first found your husband or wife. You can certainly meet new people using traditional methods such as going to a bar, but online dating is another incredibly popular option for individuals who have recently gone through a divorce. Online dating helps to eliminate all of the scary aspects of talking to someone for the first time as you are both in a comfortable environment. Try being lighthearted and have fun with your online dating instead of taking it seriously right away.
Recovering from a divorce, especially after a long marriage, takes time. Don't try to rush it too fast, know that it's ok to have a mourning period but also know that there will come a time when you have to pick yourself up again and start living your life.

Inspired by the Obsidian Menu Bar and frustrated by having to move my mouse to the top of the screen to see the menu bar, I made this little concept. The app would slide down 44 pixels when user hits ⌘ + Shift + M, revealing the dark Menu Bar at the top of the screen.
Also, this would open up fullscreen mode for apps like Photoshop, which need the menu bar to be available at all times.

Celtics-Spurs Game Blog: Second Quarter
|02.08.09 at 1:37 pm ET
FIRST HALF NOTES AND NUMBERS: Spurs 60, Celtics 52
- Leading Scorers: Bonner/Duncan: 16 points
- Leading Rebounder: Duncan: 7
- Leading Assists: Rondo: 7
- Points in the Paint: Celtics 32 – Spurs 24
- Fast Break Points: Celtics 8 – Spurs 4
- Free Throws: Spurs: 7/7 – Celtics 5/8
- Minutes: Pierce/Rondo/Duncan: 19
At the start of the quarter … Celtics 23, Spurs 22
For Paul's first quarter recap, click here.
Second Quarter Observations
– On the court at the start of the 2nd … Celtics: Powe/Davis/T. Allen/R. Allen/House … Spurs: Hill/Finley/Bonner/Ginobili/Thomas
– Ray Allen has the hot hand for the Celtics this afternoon, scoring 12 points (5/8 FG) in the first 16 minutes.
– Even with Tim Duncan on the court, the Celtics are outscoring the Spurs 22-10 in the paint.
– There always seems to be a fan favorite red head at the Garden. With Brian Scalabrine out (concussion), New Hampshire native Matt Bonner is getting the cheers today. He is the game's leading scorer with 13 points. Scal is in the building but is not watching the game on the sidelines.
– With two minutes to go Rajon Rondo (6 points, 7 assists) has the edge over Tony Parker (5 points, 5 assists) in the battle of the point guards. Both have only hit one shot outside of the paint.
– The controversial calls continue at the Garden. Perkins was whistled for a foul late in the second against Tim Duncan. The boos from the fans rivaled the jeers from Thursday's game against the Lakers. Perkins doesn't get much love around the league, either. He tied for first in the Sports Illustrated Player Poll: Which NBA player thinks he's a lot better than he really is?
– At halftime … Spurs 60, Celtics 52
Celtics-Spurs Game Blog: First Quarter
|02.08.09 at 12:56 pm ET
We are live from courtside on a Sunday afternoon for the Celtics and the Spurs. Unlike Thursday's epic showdown with the Lakers which brought out some 15 LA media members and a handful of national NBA types, the mood here is decidedly tame. That's in perfect harmony with the legacy the Spurs have carved out during the Tim Duncan era.
They have four championships, or one more than the Kobe-Shaq Lakers. They have the respect of everyone in the league, or at least those that know basketball, and they are a model of a well-run, efficient professional organization. In other words, bor-ing.
Well, maybe. But I'll take Spurs-Celtics on a Sunday afternoon any day.
FIRST QUARTER WRAP: For two teams that made their bones playing defense, the first 12 minutes were a clinic in half-court offense. Both teams are shooting about 50 percent and have executed their offenses fairly well. Good start to this one.
Jess has you covered for the second quarter.
First Quarter Observations
— KG is on Matt Bonner and vice-versa. Like everyone else I'd love to see KG and Duncan battle for 35 minutes today, and no doubt they will see each other quite a bit. It would be interesting to see what would happen in the Finals if these two teams meet.
— Ronnie Garretson is working today's game. Let's just say from an experience standpoint that is an upgrade from the crew who worked Thursday. Doc Rivers was fined 15 grand for saying the refs lost control of the game. Talking about it before the game it seemed pretty clear that Doc considered it money well-spent.
— If you were scoring this as in a boxing match, you would have a draw in the first round. Lots of little interesting things going on, but no big punches thrown or landed yet.
— Pierce is matched up with Manu, which is a really fun combination. They are different players, to be sure, but both know every trick in the book. On the opposite part of the spectrum, you have Manu's speed and quickness versus Pierce's strength, but both are hellacious competitors.
— Here's the big difference between the two teams. San Antonio's bench is deep and versatile. Part of that is having Ginobli as a Sixth Man where he plays starters minutes. But Kurt Thomas is the kind of experienced tough big man teams are always looking for (especially the Celtics), and Bruce Bowen hasn't made an appearance yet. Also keep an eye on rookie George Hill. The bench gives Gregg Popovich all kinds of options and scenarios.
— Perkins can get that little jump-hook off a post-up whenever he wants it because no one is going to double off Garnett, Pierce or Allen to stop it. If he can develop confidence in that move he can take the next step as a player.
— Versatility example. Pop brought Michael Finley back to deal with Pierce and force the Celtics to put Ray Allen on Ginobli, which is a much better match up for them.
Who needs Marbury?
|02.07.09 at 12:06 am ET
NEW YORK — There is a fur-lined coat and baseball cap hanging in Stephon Marbury's locker. They don't belong to Marbury, though. Al Harrington is using the empty space for storage. Many of the Knicks don't need Marbury or his belongings in their locker room. In fact, they aren't sure who needs him either.
'It's hard to say,' said Jared Jeffries. 'There's a lot of 'what ifs."
There is no question Marbury is a talented point guard, his teammates don't deny that. He is a two-time All-Star with a career average of nearly 20 points and eight assists per game over the course of 11 years. These are numbers that rival premiere point guards like Dwyane Wade, Allen Iverson, and Chris Paul.
'Obviously Steph is an experienced guard,' said David Lee. 'He's been in the league a long time. He's been through the battles in the West and the battles in the East. He's a guy that's obviously a very skilled player.'
Jeffries concurred.
'He's definitely a talented player,' he said. 'He's a big guard, he's a really good scorer, he's scored a lot in this league. He's a good point guard, he really is talent-wise. He's a really good point guard so any time you have a talent like that you could use that.'
Yet the Knicks don't want to use that talent. The experience and stats are there, but is the potential to help a team win it all? While rookie Anthony Roberson praised his mentorship off the court, his teammates are indecisive about what he has to offer anymore.
'I don't know,' Lee said of Marbury's abilities to help a team in the running for the title. 'I'm not sure if he's ever been to the Finals. I could be wrong. It'll be interesting to see and it'll be interesting to see what happens with Steph and New York and if he does get released or if he decides to go to another team. I heard them talking about that during the TNT game against L.A. the other night. That should be interesting.'
What's more interesting is the fact that Lee has been Marbury's teammate since 2005 and he can't form a decisive opinion. But teams like the world champion Boston Celtics have still expressed interest in Marbury, dramatics and all. So why, if a team of that caliber is willing to take a closer look at him, can't his teammates who know his game best speak to his value?
Don't ask Nate Robinson. Even though he entered the NBA as Marbury's back up, he no longer feels comfortable commenting on the issue. The one thing the Knicks are certain on is their choice of point guard this season. Chris Duhon leads the floor without the drama, an asset they'd take any day.
'He's a guy that really knows how to play the game,' Lee said of Duhon. 'But we are very happy with what Chris has done this year. I'm not sure you could ask for any more than Chris has done. Steph's a great guard, but we're very happy with Duhon.'
The fur-lined coat and baseball cap still hung in Stephon Marbury's locker after the Celtics banned together to beat the Knicks on Friday night. They won with a fourth quarter push fueled by communication and chemistry. It's the type of victory may not have been possible if Marbury's belongings were hanging in a Celtics locker.
Three's Company
|02.06.09 at 8:13 pm ET
NEW YORK ' The New York Knicks have not held anything back from behind the arc against the Boston Celtics this season. In their first three match ups, the Knicks attempted 80 three-point shots, 22 more than the Celtics. On Friday night the Celtics were ready to counter the offensive assault.
Before the game Glen Davis extended his warm ups to the three-point line. Big Baby knocked down three consecutive shots from the top of the arc. Moments later, Ray Allen took target practice from the bench. In a close competition with Celtics assistant coach Mike Longabardi, Allen took shot after shot frim his seat. And not to be outdone, Leon Powe drained a three from the sidelines in front of a surprised Patrick O'Bryant.
The Celtics knew what they were in for. At the end of the first quarter alone, the Knicks had shot 4-for-10 from long range.
Sounds of the game… Lakers 110, Celtics 109 OT
|02.06.09 at 6:49 am ET
Forget the NBA Finals of last June. Thursday night's regular season game between the Celtics and Lakers at TD Banknorth Garden went a long way to restoring one of the sport's great all-time rivalries.
And just listening to Doc Rivers' verbal tirade to the referees in the hallway proves how much this one hurt for the Green.
Rivers COULD NOT believe a hand check was not called on the Lakers as they tried to throw Ray Allen's timing off at the end of overtime with Allen having the ball and a chance to win the game just like he did 48 hours earlier in Philadelphia.
"That was a hand check!" Rivers exclaimed in the hallway as the Celtics filed to their locker room, past the officials' room on the right.
Then there was the sparring between Kobe Bryant and Rajon Rondo, as Bryant, who was held to 26 points on 10-of-29 shooting, waved his finger in Rondo's face in the third quarter. That was followed minutes later by Lamar Odom and Kevin Garnett going toe-to-toe before calmer heads prevailed. And lest we forget the rivalry between the two coaches.
Phil Jackson was peeved when Doc Rivers was given a sports-drink shower on the court in the closing minutes of Game 6 of The Finals last June. Jackson said after the game that he didn't think Garnett looked like he was ready to return from the flu. Oh really Phil?
This game meant a lot to both teams.
It meant the end of Boston's 12-game winning streak, meaning the Lakers have ended their 19-game AND 12-game runs this season. It meant that Los Angeles has swept the season series and holds the tie-breaker should the two teams end up deadlocked at the end of the season.
For the Lakers, it meant beating a team that seven months earlier humiliated them on the same court by 39 points in the most embarrassing loss in franchise history. They remembered the Gatorade shower that Rivers received from Pierce and Co. as Boston claimed its 17th title.
And it showed that these Lakers, even without big man Andrew Bynum, COULD play defense when it mattered and they won't be pushed around anymore.
Here's how both teams articulated it.
Paul Pierce said it was just one game and hopefully they'll meet again.
Eddie House thought the Lakers celebrated like they just won the title. Yo LA, this was game 51, regular season, that is.
House thought the Lakers were allowed to be more physical than the Celtics.
Ray Allen was more disappointed that Kevin Garnett was called for a cheap foul that gave him five late, just before fouling out in the fourth.
Doc Rivers felt that was a hand check on Allen at the end.
Rivers was worried early in the second half about how the game was getting away from the officials.
Rivers thought it was a chippy game.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson thought it was a great game for the NBA.
Jackson didn't think Garnett was ready to play after missing the last two games with the flu.
Kobe Bryant thought it WAS a statement game for his Lakers.
Pau Gasol wished the Lakers had played like this last year in The Finals.
Is this really just another game?
|02.06.09 at 12:35 am ET
No one on the Los Angeles Lakers is more outspoken about his feelings toward the Boston Celtics than Sasha Vujacic. Make no mistake, he is not over last season's loss in the NBA Finals. Less than a year later, the emotional wound is still very open.
'I wouldn't say it's hatred,' Vujacic said before the Lakers overtime win against the Celtics (RECAP HERE). 'It's just hard when you lose in the Finals to forget about it and say life goes on. It doesn't go on. I'm always going to be kind of scarred.'
Kind of scarred? Vujacic won't even wear green — 'I've seen too much green in June' — but he doesn't think these sentiments are over the top. Any player who claims it's just another game, he attests, isn't being honest.
'I think that if you go in the Celtics locker room and you ask them about us, they're going to have the same opinion. The only difference is they have a championship ring and they have a trophy at home,' he said. 'I would say that for both teams, no matter what they say or no matter what people think, it will never, ever be 'just another game' against the Celtics or against the Lakers.'
For many of the Celtics, this wasn't just another game. As Ray Allen explained, the Celtics were the hunted against a Lakers team looking for revenge. The Cs knew the Lakers were going to attack with a Game Seven mentality and they wanted to match that energy.
'We approach it as an intense playoff atmosphere,' Allen said. 'We definitely don't take it lightly. It's a very intense moment for us. We look forward to it and the focus in the locker room is pretty intense … Now we're on the other side of the fence where we've got to pick it up and we've got to get momentum going here into the playoffs.'
Kendrick Perkins agreed.
'I thought it was very physical. I thought it was a playoff-type atmosphere game,' he said. 'It wasn't a make-or-break for the season, no doubt about it, but we wanted to win the game. You could tell, any time we go through a game like that, hard fought, you just want to get the win.'
There may have been a playoff atmosphere but that doesn't mean this game has the ramifications of a postseason match up. Nobody won a ring, no one was sent home for the summer.
'What was it? Game 51? It was Game 51,' said Eddie House. 'I think they feel like they won the Finals, the way they were celebrating out there, and it's Game 51. I think it just meant more to them to come in here and be able to get that monkey off their back to feel like, oh they can get a win out here. So that's behind us. I think it meant more to them but we just keep it moving.'
At the end of overtime the Celtics were the world champions while the Lakers were still seeking to take the title away. But seasons are not decided in February. Ultimately, it is just another game in the grand scheme of the regular season. Even Vujacic, open wound and all, isn't celebrating just yet.
'We don't celebrate,' he said after the game. 'We celebrate in June.'
The Edge Goes to L.A.
|02.06.09 at 12:34 am ET
At some point in the last decade or so, the everlasting image of the Lakers-Celtics thing became the Kevin McHale clothesline of Kurt Rambis. It is the first image they show on the JumboTron in the pregame and whenever it does appear, the crowd responds with a familiar cry of bloodlust.
Forget Larry hitting the turnaround on Magic. Forget Henderson stealing the ball. Forget Don Nelson's jumper bouncing high off the rim. Forget Russell winning one last time while Wilt stewed on the bench. This is what we think about when we think Lakers-Celtics: Rambis going up for a layup and McHale decking him.
Legend has it that Pat Riley decided after that series that no team of his would ever get knocked around like that again, and thus gave the world Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley and the rest of the aesthetically unpleasing Knicks of the early 90's.
The underlying message in all of this is has always been: Boston tough. L.A. soft.
Pau Gasol? Soft.
Lamar Odom? Flaky. Also, soft.
Kobe Bryant? Not soft, but when your two-guard is your hardest player you've got problems. Michael Jordan had Oakley and then Horace Grant and Dennis Rodman, after all.
When the Lakers lost the final game of last season by 39 points, that only intensified the feeling that the Celtics were the grittier, tougher, shove-you-first (and last) team.
Thursday night's game was anything but timid. (Click here for a recap.) The shoulders were set harder on high screens. The elbows were flying away from the play. There were double technicals and stare downs and even one bizarre sequence where Odom smacked Kevin Garnett in the back and then seemed to temporarily lose his mind over K.G.'s penchant for swatting away shots after the whistle.
"It was a physical game, but you have to come to expect that," Paul Pierce said. "All those things said about the Lakers not being a physical team, you just have to expect that they're gonna come around and hold their chests up high."
The nature of play did not sit well with Doc Rivers.
"In the third and fourth quarters, I thought the game got out of control," Rivers said. "I really did. And I thought the officials let it get out of control. I just thought there was a lot of chippiness. We were the retaliators a lot tonight, and we got caught. Obviously. Both teams. I thought it was a chippy game in the second half and it didn't need to be."
Between quarters Rivers was in the ear of the officials–Monty McCutchen, James Capers and Leon Wood–yelling about the loose elbows that were swinging around.
Here's the thing though. The Lakers took those shots, and they didn't flinch. Kobe, we know about. Say what you will about Kobe Bean Bryant but he does not back down from a street fight. Time and again he lined up deep 3-pointers with Pierce draped all over him and he knocked them down, which only adds to his image as the NBA's most cold-blooded player.
But Gasol, forever derided as being Teddy Ruxpin soft, scored 24 points and had 14 rebounds and it wasn't like he was shooting 20-foot jumpers either.
"Gasol was the star of the game," Rivers said. "He got it deep, he got hook shots, fadeaways."
If the Celtics had a mental edge over the Lakers, it's gone now. The Lakers have talked (and talked) about the way last year ended for them, getting humiliated on the Garden floor. They've talked about it so much that you couldn't help but wonder if this would become one of those self-fulfilling prophesies where the ending was written before the scenario even took place. That's gone now.
"It was important for us," Bryant said, acknowledging the obvious. "I think the growth that we had from last year to this year, when they went on those 8-0 runs we kept our poise. Last year, 8-0 runs turned into a 15-2 run. That is something that we couldn't weather and I think we've grown tremendously in our execution and our poise."
The Celtics all said that this was just another game in the 82-game schedule. They learned from the last time the Lakers snapped one of their winning streaks that they can handle the aftershocks. One tends to believe them when they say that because they backed it up by ripping off 12 straight wins.
But there was a weird moment at the end of the post-game press conference where Garnett, whose mind had been wandering (understandably since he has been laid up for the better part of the past week) snapped back to the here and now. The question was about whether the Celtics wanted to see the Lakers again in the Finals.
"Hell yeah," he said fixing his glare on the questioner for a good five seconds. "We're the champs, right?"
They are the champs and are entitled to all the benefits that distinction holds, and in a seven-game series they'd still be the choice. But they know. The dynamic has shifted.

by Jarrod Day
I've been fortunate enough over the last eight years to make regular trips to the remote Flinders Island. For those unaware, Flinders Island is located a short one hour flight south, from Tooradin approximately half way between Tasmania and Wilson's Prom.
Apart from being remote, the fishing is absolutely mind blowing with some very surprising catches almost the minute your bait hits the water.
It was the last week in May when I had organised a few days fishing at Flinders with work colleague Adam Ring and a group of eight mates to explore the waters surrounding the island. With a combination of great weather, keen fisho's and plenty of fish, we experienced some truly amazing fishing from the river, deep blue and off the sand.
Flicking the river: The North East River is plentiful with fish and practically untouched from fishing.
Sometimes I have fished for the entire day without even a glimpse of another angler, car, or truck except for the sound of the waves crashing and pelicans groaning when they get too close to one another.
Fishing the river can be some of the best estuary fishing an angler could experience, even when land based.
Salmon, silver trevally and flathead are the main targeted species but XOS King-George whiting, gummy shark, snook and flounder are all available.
Throughout most of the year salmon are frequently caught by land based anglers casting metal slugs from the sand and rocks.
Although trevally aren't as popular as salmon, land based anglers usually hook into a few. If you're lucky enough to fish the river with a boat, then you'll soon experience silver trevally at its best with fish to 50cm caught in numbers on my last trip.
Flathead are the most highly prized in the river due to their size and although bait fishing anglers catch their fair share, it is anglers drifting and working soft plastics over the weed beds and sand holes that lock horns with some real monsters.
If your into the soft plastic scene or want to see what all the fuss is about a great start is with Squidgy 85mm Flick baits in the evil Minnow and Pillie colours working a treat on trevally and salmon. Flathead are quite fond of taking Squidgy 100mm wriggler tails in Golden eye, drop bear and red rum colours. Jig heads to match should be a 3/0 or 2/0 hook with 3/8th, ¼ and 1/8th heads suitable for all stages of the tide.
Batteling the offshore breeze: If the weather is kind enough, then you can experience some amazing Tasmanian trumpeter fishing. Jumping on a local charter is the best way as they can put you directly onto the fish. Being remote, taking your own boat is almost impossible unless you pre-organise it to be ferried over by the Southern Shipping Company which can take months of planning.
Chartering is the best option considering the trumpeter fishing grounds are at least two to three hours travel from the port at Lady Barron.
Although the fishing charters provide tackle, it is advisable you take along your own fishing gear with 20lb outfits most suitable. My standard bottom bouncing outfit consists of an IFISH 30-50lb jig rod with Shimano 6000 Twinpower and 30lb braid. Being a jig rod it is short, 5'8 in fact which enables more leverage power being closer to your body when lifting fish up. This makes battling fish in deep water far easier with less effort.
The standard paternoster rig is ideal for deep water bottom bouncing; a single or double dropper rig is entirely up to you. Fishing with a double dropper can lead to catching two fish at a time. Rigs should be tied from 80lb trace as a minimum with 5/0 circle hooks attached to the droppers.
Trumpeter inhabit quite deep reefs. The usual depths are 80 metres but you can expect to be fishing in up to 120 metres if you can't find them shallower.
They are found over small patches of reef adjacent to sand feeding on small fish, minnows, crabs etc: I have been quite fond of using cut pilchards or squid strips. Being so deep it may pay to wrap the bait onto the hook with bait mate or fuse wire. Trumpeter are very cleaver in steeling baits and at this depth you want a hook-up not a stolen bait because of the long haul back to the surface.
Soaking up the sand: Fishing from the sand is very productive where ever you try. Gummy sharks are highly prized but night fishing is preferred. Although they are caught throughout the year, anglers will need to rug up and fish by torch light for their best chance.
Paternoster rigs will work but running sinker rigs are recommended to keep baits close to the bottom where they feed. Rigs should be tied from 80lb with snelled 6/0 hooks. Best baits include fresh salmon and silver trevally fillets.
Along with gummies are school sharks, abundant in these parts, wire leaders are required to avoid being bitten off. Requiring the same rig to be caught, wire is a must.
When fishing off the sand you'll encounter other species including salmon and some massive flathead.
Along the eastern side of flinders is the most productive gummy and school shark fishing. The mouth of the North East River can produce some monsters during a run out tide. Snapper are also taken here due to the small reef patch located within casting distance from the rocks.
Five Mile beach Cameron's inlet, sellers point and Pot Boil Point are the number one beaches to fish for gummies and schoolies.
The most productive time is fishing the high tide and with that in combination with the lead up to the full moon you're almost guaranteed to catch a few.

How to Install a Bidet Toilet Seat
Latest Articles
Anyone who has gone through the home-buying or home-selling process has probably been told that the two areas that can most increase a home's value are the kitchen and the bathroom. So it makes sense that the most common places being renovated in the home are these two rooms. And if you've been thinking about getting a bidet toilet seat to upgrade your bathroom, then you should note that besides adding some value and comfort to your commode, installing a bidet seat can actually save you money. So we like to think of the bidet toilet seat as the bathroom upgrade that pays for itself.
Even if you're not thinking about remodeling your bathroom, knowing that a bidet can help save money over time definitely makes it an investment worth considering. The most obvious way in which an electronic bidet seat can save money is in toilet paper consumption. Using a bidet seat can reduce the use of toilet paper by 75%. With many bidet seats equipped with warm air dryers, toilet paper is often only used as a method to dry off residual moisture. If an average family of four spends around $220 a year on toilet paper (see our blog post on a Consumer Reports article on toilet paper costs), then cutting that cost by 75% saves you almost $1,000 over six years! With the average bidet seat lasting seven years or longer, it's obvious that installing a bidet toilet seat really can pay for itself and then some.
Our bidetsPLUS bidet infographic has a lot of great information about the costs of toilet paper, and it was recently referenced in a Huffington Post article that mentions bidet toilet seats as a great way for businesses to save money. We may not be there yet, but it might not be long before most Americans have a bidet at home as well as one at the office. And since washing with a bidet is more hygienic and more comfortable than dry toilet paper, perhaps an office with a bidet toilet seat is an office with happier, more productive employees. At the very least they will feel cleaner and use less toilet paper, and as our infographic shows less toilet paper is definitely a good thing for the pocket book and the environment.
Another less obvious way in which bidet seats can help save money is in plumbing costs. Clogged toilets are a headache that nobody likes. Sometimes a plunger will fix the problem, but other times a plumber is needed. Excessive toilet paper being flushed down the toilet is a prime culprit in many clogs (and bad for septic systems). Similarly, there have been many problems with clogs and sewage issues related to the use of wet wipes as noted in our previous article. Bidet seats reduce the risk of plumbing costs from clogged toilets by reducing the amount of paper debris being used.
Installing a bidet is a great way to save some money in the long run, but the reason why so many people are upgrading their bathrooms with these seats is for the health and hygiene benefits that come from washing with water. Whether in the midst of remodeling your home or just looking for a cleaner way to wash, adding a bidet toilet seat to your home will add value at every level.
We are all familiar with wet wipes for babies used to clean their delicate areas when there's no time for a bath. The wet wipes clean more gently and comfortably than the dry toilet paper that adults use. But recently the wet wipe market has expanded to include wet wipes specifically for adults, and their sales have skyrocketed. While the wet wipe craze has provided a better cleaning experience than regular toilet paper for many, there is one big problem that has surfaced from the increase in their use. The wet wipes are wreaking havoc on sewer systems.
Wet wipes are made of thicker material than regular toilet paper and do not disintegrate in the sewage system the way they should, and this is causing sewers to clog, backed up sewer lines, and a mess of problems for water treatment facilities. According to a recent New York Times article, New York City has spent over $18 million on damaged equipment used in water treatment that has been caused by the wet wipes just in the past five years. While many of the wet wipes are labeled as "flushable," the method of testing flushability (called the slush box test) does not accurately recreate the environment of sewage systems and the waste water treatment facilities. As a result, the wipes are accumulating in pipes, clogging machines, and impeding the water treatment process for the city.
And the issue isn't isolated to New York. Across the country, wet wipes have caused sewage problems, clogging plants from the San Francisco Bay area to central Wisconsin municipal treatment facilities; in Portland, Maine, and Portland, Oregon; in Alaska and Hawaii. With these seemingly innocuous hygiene products causing so many headaches, many city councils are discussing whether or not to ban wet wipes altogether before their towns are flooded with sewage.
You can't blame people for wanting a better way to clean themselves and more refreshing alternative to dry toilet paper. However the wet wipes are clearly a serious concern for the sewer systems of cities and towns across the country and the globe. Of course, there is an alternative mentioned by many readers of the NY Times article, and that is to use a bidet toilet seat. Not only does a bidet seat offer a more hygienic washing experience than wet wipes, it actually helps decrease toilet paper usage. With warm air dryers on most bidet seats, some users can nearly eliminate toilet paper, though some still use a small amount for drying purposes. So a bidet toilet seat will clean you better than wet wipes AND is actually better for our waste water systems since users are flushing much less toilet paper.
With many people becoming more environmentally conscious in their choices these days, installing a bidet toilet seat is a smart move environmentally in addition to being more hygienic than wet wipes or toilet paper. And with the money saved on toilet paper costs, a bidet seat also makes a lot of sense for consumers financially. With some of the best bidet seats in the industry available from bidetsPLUS, anyone can find a bidet to meet their needs here on our website.

When families are broken, it causes emotional despair for the children.
The parents use the children as buffers, and problems arise. It causes the children to make bad choices, choices that they regret further in life, such as joining gangs or doing drugs. What are parents getting from fighting? From what I see they're not gaining anything, just more problems.
When families are broken children get entangled between their parents' emotional issues. How do broken families affect me? From when I was 10 years old, my parents began fighting. I'm still not clear as to, what the main issue for this fight was. A broken family affects me because it changed who I am today. I play a big role in my family because I am the oldest of 3 children; my sister is 10 and my brother is 6. Since my father doesn't live with me, I play the role as a father. I look after my siblings when my mom is at work, which is the night shift.
I am not ready to play the role of a father; looking after my siblings, making sure they're being well behaved, and that they eat their food. I am only 15 years old and not ready to do this kind of things, but when life hits you hard the only thing to do is stand back up. The results of these fights were a dramatic change. My parents used to be happy together; we would always talk and have fun at the dinner table, my sister and I would always listen to our parents.
Now, it's like the opposite of that. My sister mouths off to my mom and there's a lot of tension in my household. I've seen so many changes within myself and family members. I've noticed that my marks are slowly decreasing in school because I think about what happened and how my life has changed, which gets me side-tracked. My whole family's attitude was changed. It seems as if I don't know them anymore. Parents don't realize the emotional pain they put children through.
It's like when they're fighting they hold you in front of them as a shield and let you take those emotional blows in your gut. These kinds of emotional blows hurt you inside and remain with you, where as physical blows heal. It's hard to stop thinking about these problems. I tend to stay in my room and watch TV as a distraction from the fighting. My mom always seems stressed, probably because she thinks about it too. When she's mad she takes it out on me by making me do the chores or just yells at me for no apparent reason. It's hard on me because I sometimes think it's my fault my parents are fighting.
What causes a family to become broken? I personally think it's the misunderstanding and lack of trust in the relationship. The parents are causing more problems when they fight. I don't want to show my emotions to my parents because I believe that they won't care because they're fighting without thinking about how we feel. I've noticed that in the media, children turn out making bad choices because of emotional despair.
What bothers me is that if you tell someone what your family is going through, they stereotype you because you have a broken family. When someone doesn't have a dad, they think you're going to make bad choices in life, because you don't have a father figure to guide you through situations in life, which only a father figure can do. In many movies I noticed that when there isn't a father in the family, the children grow up doing drugs and getting involved with the police. I would cry myself to sleep from thinking about what happened and how I have changed as a person.
I am always in a happy mood, and it helps me not think about it. I don't want anyone asking me what's wrong. I tend to stay in my room so I'm not brought into the fights. I'm positive that in the future all this won't happen to me because from observing I've learned that trust and understanding are the main things that keep a family together. Personally, this experience of having a broken family has made me more mature, and a more understanding person of how families are.

Islanders tennis falls in season-opener
A&M-Corpus Christi plays at New Mexico on Monday
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The Texas A&M–Corpus Christi men's tennis team lost its season-opener to New Mexico State 5-2 on Saturday.
"Give credit to New Mexico State, this was a tough, tough battle, but they outfought us today on their home courts," Islanders coach Steve Moore said. "I thought we competed extremely hard, and definitely had our chances to win. This match will be a match that we see a lot this year, a perennial nationally ranked team where we will have to play every point tough and smart, and give away nothing to win."
The match looked like it was going the Islanders' way right out of the gate, with Andrew Maingot and Gergo Weidinger quickly taking an 8-3 final over Daniel Fernandez and Naveen Manivannan at No. 3 doubles. The No. 2 doubles match went the Aggies way, with Pietro Jordao and Matt Westmoreland falling 8-3 against Germaine Degardin and Yannick Blank. In the No. 1 doubles spot, Peter Nagy and Odon Barta were serving at 6-5 against Luis Ramirez and Marc Westgate, but New Mexico State capitalized on the new, no-advantage point that is now played at deuce to even up the match, and then broke serve at 7-6 to win the doubles point for a 1-0 lead.
In singles, Nagy won a three-set match at No. 1, but No. 3 Weidinger was the only other Islanders player to win a match.
"They say you're either winning or you're learning," said Moore. "I thought these young guys fought their tails off, but we need to get a little smarter and more savvy at key times. That's our job as coaches to see how quickly we can get them there."
The Islanders play at New Mexico on Monday night.

What I can never understand, and with the greatest respect to those who do beliieve, is how come we don't know what happens after we cross over? The late Doris Stokes was, in the eyes of her fans, a great Psychic. At the time a magician, Paul Daniels, spent a lot of his time calling Doris Stokes' bluff. His request should be considered a simple one; he challenged her over and over again to give *any* form of evidence over proof of what happened to those who crossed over, to help people to not fear death by informing the people what actually happens. Of course, this never happened. Doris Stokes never, ever took him up on his challenge.

That's an issue with me. Magicians disguisesd as Psychics have perfectly emulated a Psychic session to what those involved would call them 'perfectly accurate' without knowing the person was a Magician. And, for me, I still ponder over why none of these Psychics profess to know what happens when we cross over. How come Ppsychics have not disclosed the mysteries of crossing over?

Pacific Power brings the HEAT to needier households
Pacific Power said Wednesday it's working with an area nonprofit to help needier families warm up their living spaces.
The utility is asking customers to contribute to the group Oregon HEAT, which provides emergency energy assistance to low-income families. Pacific Power is sticking contribution envelopes into customers' November utility bills.
During its last program year, Pacific Power customers, employees and retirees donated more than $72,000 to Oregon HEAT. Pacific Power shareholders and the PacifiCorp Foundation donated $71,000-plus.
The money helped Oregon HEAT provide assistance to 6,000 residents statewide.
"While who needs assistance changes every year, the donations our customers, employees and retirees consistently make demonstrates their generosity and compassion for their neighbors," said Pat Reiten, president and chief executive officer of Pacific Power.
"Thankfully, compassionate Oregonians donate to Oregon HEAT to help their neighbors facing severe economic challenges maintain basic daily needs such as heat and lights," added Joan Towers, Oregon HEAT's executive director. "As we all prepare to face winter together with our many community partners, Oregon HEAT returns at least 90 cents of every donated dollar back into the communities to help families with very low incomes. Public contributions are crucial to thousands of individuals served."
Along with the inserted envelope, customers can also choose a fixed donation program that allows customers to make their contributions throughout the year.
