Maces win Angler's Choice event on Kerr Lake
Last weekend I fished with Tyler Purcell from Townsville in both Angler's Choice tournaments on Kerr Lake.
There were 175 teams competing in the Virginia division on Saturday and Tyler and I finished in the middle of the pack with three fish weighing 6 pounds even.
It was a slow day for us until around 1 p.m. when we started seeing fish on beds down near Nutbush Bridge. We were able to catch a couple of the smaller males but the larger females we saw wouldn't bite.
The event was won by Ryan and Wayne Mace with five fish weighing 18.41 pounds. This is yet another nice catch on Kerr indicating that the lake continues to recover from the largemouth bass virus that has impacted the fishery in recent years. I heard they caught their fish up in one of the rivers.
Mark Robertson and Keith Joyce caught the biggest fish of the day on their first cast weighing 5.8 pounds.
Another tournament held on Kerr Saturday, the Piedmont Bass Classics, had a similar top weight with Jay Garrard of Durham and Mark Herndon from Bahama bringing in five bass that hit 17.96 pounds.
Sunday's winners of the N.C. division in the Angler's Choice were Dennis Reedy and Jeffrey Thomas with a bag weighing almost 15 pounds. I didn't hear how they caught them but do know that both fellows love to throw spinnerbaits and top water lures.
There were 75 boats in the event Sunday. Fishing for Tyler and I went from bad to worse, and we only caught one fish all day that was around 10 inches long.
To add insult to injury, Tyler hooked into a giant fish with only a few moments to go, but it turned out to be a 20-pound blue catfish that somehow got hooked in the tail on a plastic worm.
It was a real struggle for us all day and I look forward to when the spawning season wraps up and fish become more predictable. I seem to do a lot better in the early spring and during summer/fall.
Kerr Lake fishing report – Largemouth bass continue to spawn in the bushes. Soon the fish that spawned earlier in the year should begin hitting top water lures and crankbaits.
Upcoming area tournaments – I don't show any events scheduled close by next weekend. I am heading to the coast to spend a few days camping on the beach with wife Susan and our grandson, John II.
Next week's report – I plan to spend Saturday figuring out where the fish are biting on Kerr Lake in preparation for Sunday's CATT trail event. I should have a good report for next week.
Tip of the week — Try rigging a trick or floating worm with the hook threaded so that it is in the middle of the worm. You will get a lot more erratic action which seems to work well on post spawn bass.

Kuttu Ki Puri (Buckwheat Poori)
my kitchen notes (put together from various internet sources)
- 1 cup (abt 110 grams/4 oz) Buckwheat flour, see Tips
- 1 small-med (abt 140 grams/6 oz) Potato, boiled/steamed
- 1-2 green Chillies, (optional) - see Tips
- Salt to taste - see Tips
- Few sprigs of Cilantro
2. Chillies : Although these pooris taste great without the chillies too, I personally love them with some heat. I think chillies blend well with earthy buckwheat enhancing the flavor.
3. Salt: If preparing this for Navarathri Fasting, use Sendha Namak (Rock salt ) instead.
niketaAugust 11th, 2014 on 5:44 pm
Would love to try your recipe. I am allergic to wheat so I make crepes from buckwheat for lunch to be eaten with veg curry. Was looking for snack option and u have given one!!can I bake it instead of frying? What change I need to make in recipe if I want to bake?
thanks in advance!!
SandhyaMay 10th, 2014 on 12:45 am
Can we have roti/chapathi of buck wheat regularly. Because I am elegiac to gluten.
ShilpiMay 2nd, 2014 on 10:25 pm
Hi I grew up in Northern India (uttar pradesh) and we always had these pooris aur even paratha from kuttu ka atta during navratre. Mom would sometimes use boiled lauki(bottle gourd ) instead of potatoes for more healthy option. I think zucchini will work equally well. Enjoy
rubyApril 29th, 2014 on 12:02 am
hiee… i would like to know if u know where i could find buckwheat groats instead of the flour..

NeelamAugust 22nd, 2013 on 1:11 am
This is a nice recipe.I have tried it many times when I am fasting…but instead of water I prepare the dough with curd.
mugdhaMay 9th, 2013 on 10:30 am
Thanks for sharing the recipe.I am a maharashtrian as well but never heard about buckwheat while growing up. I am looking for the marathi name for it but haven't found it yet. Could you please share the name if u know it?
I did a quick search and mostly many places mention "kuttu" for marathi too. In one site it mentions as "Gavhache Peeth". I am not really sure.–DK
DjaninuMay 7th, 2013 on 6:28 pm
can i substitute sweet potato for potato?
MeenaNovember 6th, 2012 on 7:18 am
Buckwheat is known as Rajagro in Gujarat. Actually this is a seed not a grain. It is used to make a variety of sweet and savoury dishes. Try this puri while hot with chilled Mango slices or Mango pulp sprinkled with dry ginger powder…truly delicious!
Thanks for the suggestions Meena. Will def. try it out next time, it sounds delicious indeed. And to my knowledge, Rajgaro is Amaranth and not Buckwheat –DK
NimiOctober 21st, 2012 on 8:40 pm
I just checked the pic of the buckwheat you have put up above, it looks just like black channa but obviously it isn't, right?
Nope, its not. You should find it in the stores by name of "Kuttu atta". I find it even in the US Indian stores under that name – so def. should be available in India esp. given that its pretty famous in Maharashtra. –DK
vasanthasrinivasanOctober 21st, 2012 on 7:01 am
love to try this poori. never heard of this millet so far.
October 21st, 2012 on 5:53 am
Healthy puri,looks great.
NunnaOctober 21st, 2012 on 2:11 am
This recipe seems to be very interesting, but what is buckwheat called in telugu would you please tell me.
I do not have a precise info on that. Some sites mention its known as "Kuttu" in telugu too and another site mentions that its "Bukgehu". I have no idea! But this is how whole buckwheat grains look like – http://grathio.com/images/buckwheat_tea.jpg. These are ground to make the flour –DK

'Analog Man' Joe Walsh plays in Salamanca Saturday
In a digital world, Joe Walsh remains an "Analog Man."
That's the title of his first solo album in 20 years, produced by Jeff Lynne, which includes guest spots from Little Richard and a relative by marriage, some drummer named Ringo Starr.
During a break from the Eagles, he's touring behind the album, including a Saturday show in Salamanca, N.Y.
Walsh said he was both excited and nervous about recording a new CD because so much has changed, recording-wise, in two decades.
"I had to do a real soul-searching," he said. "I didn't know exactly how I fit in or if I should upgrade to Joe, 21st century, or what. And I decided, 'You know what? Just make an album like I know how to do it and make one for my fans.'
"The other thing was, of course, I had to navigate digital technology, which is a different way of making music and a different way of making records.
"I didn't really want that to affect the process, either. You have to pay attention for that not to happen. But I was really excited and had a lot to say."
Two songs are sequels of sorts: "Funk 50" -- a nod to the James Gang classic"Funk #49" -- and "Lucky That Way," a follow-up to "Life's Been Good."
ESPN asked for "Funk 50."
"They have (a) Sunday Morning NFL (show) and wanted some music for it, about a minute. They said, 'We're James Gang fans and like 'Funk 49,' so we'd like something like (that) but not 'Funk 49.' So, I made them a minute of music, and they used it all season. It came out better than I thought, so I decided to put lyrics on it and make it longer."
As for "Lucky," one of "Analog Man's" best tracks, which has a country feel?
"It wasn't meant to be a sequel to 'Life's Been Good,' but kind of turned out that way," said Walsh, who cowrote the song with Tommy Lee James. "He's from Nashville, so it has a little bit of Nashville juice. I thought it came out great."
Getting a little help from his friend, Ringo, was a no-brainer. They were pals long before Walsh married Marjorie Bach, the sister of Ringo's wife, Barbara. Walsh played in Ringo's first All-Starr Band and, before that, was a Beatles fan.
"Some times I really scratch my head, because I was at Shea Stadium when the Beatles played there, screaming and crying along with the girls. Now, I've got one of them for a brother-in-law," Walsh said. "He is so genuine and straight-across and grounded. His insight and his wisdom have been wonderful for me to be around, in terms of figuring out my personal life and also as a musician."
In concert, Walsh fans can expect songs from "Analog Man," his solo albums, the Eagles and James Gang. He recently jammed with his former James Gang band mates in Cleveland and said his bucket list includes more concerts. As for the Eagles?
"Next year is the 40th anniversary of the band. We'll put a whole new show together, a retrospective, and go out," Walsh said.
That's the plan for the "Analog Man."

Today's anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington and Martin Luther King Jr.'s immortal "I Have a Dream" speech will feature an address by President Obama. As such, we should have some sympathy for the president. Being asked to give a speech commemorating one of the most famous speeches in American history is an unenviable task. Like someone going to Gettysburg to honor Lincoln's address, no matter what you say, you're bound to come up short in comparison to the original. But no matter how pedestrian our current great orator's words sound when placed in juxtaposition to King's words, the president's presence on the podium will have greater significance than anything he says. There is, after all, no more powerful argument about how different the America of 2013 is from that of 1963 than the fact that the president of the United States today is an African-American.
There is no small irony in this since the president, his supporters and, indeed, most of what is left of what we still call the civil-rights movement have spent the last several months attempting to argue that whatever progress has been made, racism is still endemic in American society. Though the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman trial was a confusing case involving a Hispanic man claiming self-defense, liberals seeking to recapture the ancient struggle for civil rights inflated it into a rerun of the Emmitt Till murder. Commonsense voter ID laws supported by most African-Americans have been branded by no less a figure than the attorney general of the United States (also now a black man) into a new version of the despicable Jim Crow laws that motivated the 1963 march. But the reality of the Obama presidency gives the lie to these false charges. Though contemporary America is neither perfect nor free of individual racists, Obama is the realization of King's dream.
If there is one thing that we know about our country today it is that in November 2008 and November 2012, it judged a black man by the content of his character and not the color of his skin.
We may not have arrived at a completely color-blind utopia yet, but Obama's election and his reelection demonstrated that Jim Crow is dead once and for all. Whites may have been prepared to tolerate blacks in the 1960s or even to give them equality. But in the last five years they have twice shown that they were willing to vote for one for president.
An intellectually bankrupt left and civil-rights groups that long ago lost their way may cling to the idea that little or nothing has changed. Their struggle should have been transformed into one that sought to address the breakdown of the black family and other social pathologies (fed in no small part by the growth of a well-intentioned welfare state in the wake of the passage of historic civil-rights laws) long ago. But instead they cling to the notion that white racism is the problem. In doing so they have perpetuated division rather than seeking to erase it.
One of the main reasons Obama was elected and then reelected in spite of a first term filled with failure was that his presence in the White House corrected a great historic injustice and made Americans feel good about themselves. This may be frustrating for Obama's critics, but it is altogether understandable. It should also cause those speaking today at the Lincoln Memorial to ponder just how different America is today from the one where King dreamed such a thing might be possible. Instead of decrying America's failings today, the president and others who speak should be celebrating just how much we have achieved. Barack Obama is the embodiment of American progress. Let us hope he spends today and the rest of his time in the White House fulfilling his promises to try and bring us together rather than working, as he has done, to keeping old, dead, and hurtful fights alive.

COLUMBIA CITY — Several of Whitley County's youngest leaders received a boost recently thanks to the support of Operation RoundUP and Northeastern REMC.
Leadership Whitley County's Young Adult Inititaive was awarded $900 in grant funds to provide partial scholarships for each of the Whitley County High School students participating in the program.
Full tuition to the program is $600. Since incorporating students in the program two years ago, LWC has worked to partner with local supporters in an effort to offset the cost of tuition to the students.
"We realized the youth voice was important and should be heard," said LWC Program Director Kelley Sheiss.
"There is also a benefit to incorporating youth and adults cooperatively in a servant leadership program.
"The adults gain a broader appreciation and perspective for youth ideas and opinions, while the students network with professional adults and enhance their leadership skills, better preparing them for a successful future."

August 5, 2015
HOUSTON — An unusual hearing on the death penalty will begin Monday in Texas — a deeply conservative state that's executed more inmates than any other in the country.
The hearing was called by Harris County Judge Kevin Fine, who last spring surprised many Texans when he granted a motion declaring the state's death penalty statute unconstitutional. Fine later took back the ruling and ordered the hearing. He says he needs more information.
Fine issued his order in the case of John Edward Green Jr., who is charged with fatally shooting a Houston woman and wounding her sister during a June 2008 robbery.
It comes after death penalty opponents created serious doubt recently about whether two men were wrongly executed: one in 2000, and one in 2004.

Mapping Global Inequality: Beyond Income Inequality
Going beyond income inequality
For several years there has been debate in the academic and popular media about the implications of globalization for poverty and inequality. The debate has, however, become stalled partly because it is too narrowly conceived, being focused almost exclusively on income inequality and on the national scale. The conference will expand this debate by both mapping global inequality at various scales and by deploying multidisciplinary perspectives to take the debate beyond income inequality.
Commissioned papers will cover the latest trends in health inequalities and social outcomes, migration and inequality, wealth and other material inequalities, gender inequalities as well as aspects of globalization and culture. Prior to the conference, online maps, figures, animations will be developed based on commissioned papers. Both online presentations and a print atlas will be published based on the conference.
The goals of the conference are
to advance the debate about global integration, inequality and poverty,
to present workshops on the latest techniques in mapping global inequality
to make the results of discussion promptly available through accessible online maps, figures and interactive utilities.
Speakers will include: Goran Therborn (Cambridge University), Tony Shorrocks (UN WIDER), Peter Tugwell (Center on Global Health, University of Ottawa), Nancy Birdsall (Center for Global Development), Helmut Anheier (UCLA Center for Globalization and Policy Research), Devesh Kapur (University of Pennsylvania), Giovanni Andrea Cornia (University of Florence), CIESIN (Columbia University) sponsored workshop on poverty mapping.
Who Should Attend?The conference is intended for academics, policy-makers, and graduate students concerned with issues of global inequality. Scholarships are available for students.

More than 2,000 receive H1N1 vaccine Friday
CORPUS CHRISTI - Paul Botello wanted the H1N1 vaccine since October, but he didn't fit into an at-risk group for it, he said.
His wait ended Friday.
The Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District held its first clinic for the general public at the American Bank Center.
"It doesn't hurt a bit, and it's quick and easy," he said. "It's worth it to get it done."
More than 2,077 people received the free H1N1 vaccines. The health district also administered 450 seasonal flu shots, and health officials considered the turnout good. People were waiting in line for the clinic to start, but overall, participants didn't wait long, said Annette Rodriguez, interim director for the health district.
"We had up to 100 people waiting in line at one point," she said. "But then there would be a lull for a little while. It was pretty steady."
Health officials brought an estimated 4,000 H1N1 vaccines and another 2,000 seasonal flu vaccines to the American Bank Center. Leftover supplies will be available through the health district, officials said.
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, there have been 195 H1N1 deaths in the state since April. Health officials recommended the elderly, pregnant and very young get inoculated first. Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention permitted H1N1 flu vaccines for the general public.
Carolina Rivera, 15, and her two younger brothers came with their parents for the inoculation. Being the older sister, Rivera bravely went first to show how easy it was.
"It doesn't hurt so bad," she said. "Feels kind of like a mosquito bite."
Health officials encouraged the public to get inoculated, because the clinic was the last offered this year.
"It's good to get your shots before the holidays, because that's when we come in contact with so many people," Rodriguez said.
Other organizations offer the vaccine, including local doctors and pharmacies, she said. The health district plans to have another public clinic in the second week of January, although a date has not yet been set.
For more information, call the health district at 826-7205 or 211.

Hi, my name is Judi Waters. My pooch Ginny & I welcome canine boarders into our large home with a large fenced in back yard. We only take one boarder at a time, so schedule early to book your stay with us.
"Boutique boarding - where your pets happiness and safety is our sole focus"
Hi, my name is Judi Waters. My pooch Ginny & I welcome canine boarders into our large home with a large fenced in back yard. We only take one boarder at a time, so schedule early to book your stay with us.
Your dog will get the five-star treatment in my home as I only take one client at a time. I offer dog boarding in my home with large fenced-in backyard that offers lots of room for exercise.
With a wooded creek area and walking path just beyond our backyard, my very friendly shih tzu in home and several dogs residing at our neighbors homes, your dog will have plenty of opportunities for positive interactions.
I also offer cat visits in your home, including feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, bringing in mail/newspaper, etc. I charge $20 per hour for cat visits and $20 per day for boarding.
Woodridge, IL 60517
This business address is private; the map is showing an approximate location.
I would describe Judi as a Responsible, reliable and kind individual I have ever knew. She always came through in the four years I have known her through absolute rough times for me.
Ms. Waters is what I refer to as the best in the business. Not only is she extremely punctual but cares about my dogs as much as I. My dogs get very excited to see her and give me a piece of mind while I am away. I don't hesitate to go out of town or even just for a night on the town as I am confident they will be fine. I much prefer the one on one attention vs the kennels as one of my dogs is a diabetic and she can make sure he is given his medicine properly. I highly recommend Ms. Waters as a natural in the pet sitting business.
First rate pet care, and she uses all her skills to make certain that a person like me is really satisfied!
A. Always do a meet and greet before hiring any pet service. Check out the facilities and meet the staff that will be taking care of your pet. Review any procedures in case of medical emergency.
A. Always ask for referrals from someone in the same field. We work with a lot of shelters, groomers, vets and we get the inside scoop on the best businesses.

Last night and this morning it was all about Kyle's gear my friends.
So, what is this picture saying to you? hmmm?
Yup, Kyle GOT HIS MALISTAIRE CLOAK! Look at that thing.
So awesome. The real Kyle was at my side when it dropped for me and he got so excited about it! LOL. "Is that mine, daddy?" and "oh thank you daddy!" haha. It does a dad good to make his kids happy with the phat loots.
But wait! That is not all, look at this VERY INTERESTING piece of gear that dropped from the fire helephant boss in malistaire's lair.
Your eyes do not deceive you. Those are the Dragonspyre crown gear shoes. It's not old school crown gear, but it's crown gear nonetheless. Now THAT has got to be a rare find. I had heard rumor that Malistaire was dropping crown clothes . . . very interesting. Now if only they were old school crown clothes . . .
Happy Dueling!

Maurice Todd, 56, Found Stabbed to Death in Yard, Latest in String of Murders (Homicide 63)
There's been another homicide in the city of St. Louis, after a notably violent weekend that involved eight separate shootings.
via Wikimedia Commons
Maurice Todd, the latest homicide victim in the city, was found in the rear yard of his north St. Louis home, at 9:50 a.m. on Sunday, police say. He was 56-years-old and is the 63rd homicide victim in the city this year.
He had suffered stab wounds to his chest and by the time cops arrived, it was too late. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
Police have no information to offer about possible suspects in this latest murder.
He lived on the 1700 block of Annie Malone Drive, police say.
via Google Maps Annie Malone Drive.
Just a day prior, police responded to a south St. Louis home and found a woman lying dead in her bed. The investigation is still ongoing in that case, but police say that it appears this woman, India Randall, 23, was a murder victim.
Later that day, Cedrick Franklin, 22, was shot to death inside a north St. Louis restaurant, one of six shootings that plagued the city on Saturday. The following day police responded to two more shootings in addition to this stabbing case that left Todd dead.
Here's the full SLMPD incident report on the stabbing.
Incident: Homicide
Location: 1700 block of Annie Malone Dr
Date/Time: 8/4/13 @ 09:50
Victim: Maurice Todd, 56-year old black male of the 1700 block of Annie Malone
Suspect(s): Unknown
The victim was found lifeless in the rear yard of the above location with apparent stab wounds to his chest. He was pronounced deceased on the scene. The investigation is ongoing.

May marks the third and final month of climatological
Spring. So far we have received over eight inches of rain since March
1st officially in Fargo/Moorhead, with, many other areas seeing much
more than that.
Unless we by chance miss out on all the rain in the
forecast, the Spring of 2007 is likely to be one of the top ten wettest Springs
on record, maybe even in the top five. So yes, it has been wet as of
since March in Fargo/Moorhead, than we did the first 7 months of last year. It
took until the middle of August last year for us to get our yearly total to
eight inches of rain.
now nobody knows for sure. But around here, one or two storms can be the
difference between a wet or dry summer.

Rían, daughter of Belegund, was the wife of Huor, son of Galdor; and she was wedded to him two months before he went with Húrin his brother to the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. When no tidings came of her lord she fled into the wild; but she was aided by the Grey-elves of Mithrim, and when her son Tuor was born they fostered him. Then Rían departed from Hithlum, and going to the Haudh-en-Ndengin she laid herself down upon it and died."
"Tuor was taken to foster by Annael of the Grey-elves, who yet lived in those hills. Now when Tuor was sixteen years old the Elves were minded to leave the caves of Androth where they dwelt, and to make their way secretly to the Havens of Sirion in the distant south; but they were assailed by Orcs and Easterlings before they made good their escape, and Tuor was taken captive and enslaved by Lorgan, chief of the Easterlings of Hithlum. For three years he endured that thraldom, but at the end of that time he escaped; and returning to the caves of Androth he dwelt there alone, and did such great hurt to the Easterlings that Lorgan set a price upon his head. The Silmarillion (chapter 21 & 23)
Beneath the long slopes of Mount Taras in bygone days Turgon had dwelt in the halls of Vinyamar, eldest of all the works of stone that the Noldor built in the lands of their exile. There it still stood, desolate but enduring, high upon great terraces that looked towards the sea. (...) Tuor went up the wide stairs, now half-hidden in thrift and campion, and he passed under the mighty lintel and entered the shadows of the house of Turgon; and he came at last to a high-pillared hall. (...) Then Tuor marvelling saw that on the wall behind the throne were hung a shield and a great hauberk, and a helm and a long sword in a sheath. The hauberk shone as it were wrought of silver untarnished, and the sunbeam gilded it with sparks of gold. But the shield was of a shape strange to Tuor's eyes, for it was long and tapering; and its field was blue, in the midst of which was wrought an emblem of a white swan's wing. Then Tuor spoke, and his voice rang as a challenge in the roof: 'By this token I will take these arms unto myself, and upon myself whatsoever doom they bear.'
Now Tuor felt his feet drawn to the sea-strand, and he went down by long stairs to a wide shore upon the north side of Taras-ness (...). And Tuor stood upon the shore, and the sun was like a smoky fire behind the menace of the sky; and it seemed to him that a great wave rose far off and rolled towards the land, but wonder held him, and he remained there unmoved. And the wave came towards him, and upon it lay a mist of shadow. Then suddenly as it drew near it curled, and broke, and rushed forward in long arms of foam; but where it had broken there stood dark against the rising storm a living shape of great height and majesty. Then Tuor bowed in reverence, for it seemed to him that he beheld a mighty king. A tall crown he wore like silver, from which his long hair fell down as foam glimmering in the dusk. (...) And thereupon Ulmo lifted up a mighty horn, and blew upon it a single great note, to which the roaring of the storm was but a wind-flaw upon a lake. And as he heard that note, and was encompassed by it, and filled with it, it seemed to Tuor that the coasts of Middle-earth vanished, and he surveyed all the waters of the world in a great vision: from the veins of the lands to the mouths of the rivers, and from the strands and estuaries out into the deep.
He awoke at length in the grey light, and arose, and left the high seat (...). And Tuor looked down from the lowest terrace and saw, leaning against its wall among the stones and the sea-wrack, an Elf, clad in a grey cloak sodden with the sea. Silent he sat, gazing beyond the ruin of the beaches out over the long ridges of the waves. All was still, and there was no sound save the roaring of the surf below. As Tuor stood and looked at the silent grey figure he remembered the words of Ulmo, and a name untaught came to his lips, and he called aloud: "Welcome, Voronwë! I await you." The Unfinished Tales (Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin)
But when Tuor had lived thus in solitude as an outlaw for four years, Ulmo set it in his heart to depart from the land of his fathers, for he had chosen Tuor as the instrument of his designs; and leaving once more the caves of Androth he went westwards across Dor-lómin. But even as dim dusk came on the third day of his journey, Tuor found before him a wall of rock, and there was an opening therein like a great arch; and the stream passed in and was lost. Then Tuor was dismayed, and he said: "So my hope has cheated me! The sign in the hills has led me only to dark end in the midst of the land of my enemies." But even as the light of the coming sun shone pale in the far mists of Mithrim, Tuor heard voices, and looking down he saw in amazement two Elves that waded in the shallow water. So he found Annon-in-Gelydh, the Gate of the Noldor, which the people of Turgon built when they dwelt in Nevrast long years before.
Thence a dark tunnel led beneath the mountains, and issued into Cirith Ninniach, the Rainbow Cleft, through which a turbulent water ran towards the western sea. The sun rose behind his back and set before his face, and where the water foamed among the boulders or rushed over sudden falls, at morning and evening rainbows were woven across the stream. High hills now marched on either side, and fresh waters spilled from them into Cirith Ninniach over shimmering falls. Then he lifted up his voice, and plucked the strings of his harp, and above the noise of the water the sound of his song and the sweet thrilling of the harp were echoed in the stone and multiplied.
And Tuor came into Nevrast, and looking upon Belegaer the Great Sea he was enamoured of it, and the sound of it and the longing for it were ever in his heart and ear, and an unquiet was on him that took him at last into the depths of the realms of Ulmo. Then he dwelt in Nevrast alone, and the summer of that year passed, and the doom of Nargothrond drew near; but when the autumn came he saw seven great swans flying south, and he knew them for a sign that he had tarried overlong, and he followed their flight along the shores of the sea. The Silmarillion (chapter 23), The Unfinished Tales (Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin)

Wow! John Coulthart!
So, you can imagine my absolute shock and soaring joy when John briefly mentioned some kind words about my own Moby-Dick art in this blog post. John contributed a suite of illustrations exploring The Picture of Dorian Gray to The Graphic Canon, volume 2, which also contains several of my Moby-Dick illustrations. You really should look at these anthologies, they are big and thick and beautifully designed and remarkable and full of gorgeous art and comics.
Of the work in that volume, John wrote this about my own: "I especially like the Moby-Dick sequence by Matt Kish, a very different take on a very familiar tale." It is difficult to convey to you how thrilling this was, and remains for me.
Feuilleton is a great great blog and an amazing source of visual inspiration. Spend some time there. You won't regret it.

John Coulthart drew my favorite Cthulhu.ReplyDelete
I don't think I have seen that, so I did some searching around on his blog and GODDAMN he's drawn quite a few phenomenal Cthulhus. A friend of mine is always telling me I should illustrate "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" and I shy away from that because I'm just not sure. Then I see this and I am simultaneously inspired and terrified.ReplyDelete
It is the one from "Starry Wisdom," in the Cthulhu comic. I for one don't really like the humanoid Cthulhu. In fact, I'm a weird one; I like to see draconic aspects played up in Cthulhu; in the text there is as much "scales" as "tentacles," you know?ReplyDelete
Also, I'd like to see you do Kadath; Gugs & Nightgaunts, for instance, seem right up in your artistic balliwick.ReplyDelete
Thanks, I was able to track it down that way and it was amazing. I agree on the humanoid Cthulhu representations. I think of that as really lazy and pedestrian. The more unsettling, non-human and monstrous the better. I will have to go back and re-read some of those tales though, I am not sure I remember much mention of scales (although I don't doubt you for a moment). It's been a while, they are due for a revisit.ReplyDelete
I kind of feel like I've been drawing Gug-like things for years now. I remember being blown away when I first read about them and their bizarre vertical mouths. There's a lot of that in my work.

About Alzheimers Recommendations Symptoms Causes Nutrition Risk
Alzheimer's disease affects more than 5 million Americans in 2013. Studies are showing that specific nutrients can help prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease as well as help slow down the effects of Alzheimer's on memory loss.
According to a 2011 article in Lancet, as well as more recent studies, the best prevention for Alzheimer's is both physical and mental exercise. 2015 research indicates a 53% decreased risk with the MIND diet
- Follow the MIND diet with whole grains, vegetables, blueberries, nuts, and avoid or limit red meat, butter, cheese, fried/fast foods, processed foods.
- Exercise your mind daily with puzzles and learning new things.
- Get daily exercise, at least a long walk every day. Getting enough exercise is essential because it influences other conditions such as your weight and blood pressure.
- It has also been found that some nutritional deficiencies may contribute to or mimic Alzheimer's
Clinical trials and double-blind research have indicated that there may be connections between nutritional deficiencies and Alzheimer's. In some cases, nutritional supplementation may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and/or delay its progression. Learn more.
Symptoms of Alzheimer's include a pattern of forgetfulness, short attention span, difficulty in performing routine tasks, language problems, disorientation, poor judgment, problems with thinking, misplacing things, depression, irritability, paranoia, hostility, and lack of initiative.
- 2014 research connects declining cognitive functioning to irregularities in homocysteine levels.
- 2013 research connects Alzheimer's and cerebrovascular disease.
- Scientists believe that genetic factors may be involved.
- High levels of a protein called beta-amyloid has been found in much younger family members where there is a history of Alzheimer's, decades before symptoms appear.174 New research is testing a vaccine that appears to trigger the body's immune defence against beta-amyloid.175
- A protein called apolipoprotein E (ApoE) may be important. Everyone has ApoE, but the function of ApoE in the brain is not well understood. One form of the protein seems to protect a person from AD, and another form seems to make a person more likely to develop the disease.
- Scientists have found aluminum, zinc, and other metals in the brain tissue of people with Alzheimers.
- Some scientists think that a virus may cause the disease.
- Alzheimers is most likely to be caused several factors that act differently in each person.
Note: certain vitamin deficiencies and other conditions can mimic alzheimer's disease symptoms including:
- Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause nerve damage including short-term memory loss, sometimes accompanied by low-back pain, fatigue, burning feet or sore tongue. Even so, blood tests may appear normal.
- Vitamin B1 deficiency can give rise to memory problems and mental imbalances,. Diuretics can aggravate B1 deficiencies.
- Vitamin B9 (folic acid) levels are tied to depressed mood.
- A decline in estrogen production among menopausal females can result in depression and may be linked to the development of dementia.
- A stroke can mimic Alzheimer's disease.
- Parkinson's, a disorder featuring resting tremors, gait disorders, and slowed movement, may sometimes first manifest as amnesia.
- Brain dysfunction can also be caused by a thyroid disorder.
- A number of studies connect Alzheimer's and diabetes
Conventional Treatment
Although conventional treatments do not stop or slow progression of Alzheimer's, medications such as tacrine, donepezil, and rivastigmine are designed to bring some short-term memory impairment relief by slowing down the breakdown of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter in the brain). Some doctors may also recommend a low daily dose of aspirin.
Key Nutrients
- Antioxidant Supplements
- Astaxanthin
- Vitamins C & E
- Vitamin D3: and combination of Vitamin D3 and Curcumin
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Other Nutrients
These are other nutrients that might be related or helpful.
- Acetyl-L-carnitine
- B Vitamins: B1, B12, Folic Acid
- Phosphatidylserine: Lecithin
- DMAE (2-dimethylaminoethanol)
- CoEnzyme Q10
- Zinc
- DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone)
Botanical Treatment Options
In addition, there are a variety of botanical treatment options.
- Ginkgo Biloba
- Huperzine A
- Vincamine

text: Tweet Image Source: Flickr. By: Golden Goat. The Gulf Coast Oil Spill has become nothing short of unspeakable incompetence. It's been well over a month since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and the spill began and there is still no hope in sight of recovery and BP has yet to come up with a method that actually works. Their so-called "top kill" method more or less amounted to nothing more than plugging the well—a clogged drain or spout if you will and like all other efforts, that failed, too (big surprise). Needless to say, this has sparked more worries about the Gulf and areas beyond. Personally, I think BP needs to hand control of the situation over to people who actually know what they're doing. Why? Well, consider these points: • All of their methods have failed. • The spill has surpassed the 1989 Exxon-Valdez spill and is now the worst oil spill in US history. • BP also played a major role in the Exxon Valdez disaster and according to people who also dealt with that spill BP's actions in the Gulf haven't changed much since. Add to that protests that have happened in the UK and Houston, fishery disasters in 3 states, and a probe that showed US oil regulator Minerals Management Service staff were accepting gifts, using illegal drugs and filing fake reports, and it's no wonder the situation has become such a disaster. US citizens are definitely not pleased with how things have been handled by BP; over 75% of them disapprove of the response to the spill and about 51% disapprove of how the Obama administration is handling the situation. On top that, at least 25% claim they are less likely to buy gas from a BP station now and 53% believe spill containment efforts will be unsuccessful no matter what. Oh, and I hate to report this part, but if you've been collecting hair, fur, and nylons for the Matter of Trust campaign, you can stop—the US Coast Guard is not and doesn't plan to use any of the hair booms to clean up the oil (although you'd think they'd want to use every possible method they can get their hands on at this point, especially those that are donated and eco-friendly). The last possible effort by BP to fix any of this mess will be the construction of a relief well, which won't be finished until sometime in August, anyway. In the meantime, you can check out their latest crazy idea here. I am certainly disappointed in how this has been handled (though it certainly explains why BP has drastically lowered their gas prices lately). If you have any suggestions on how to stop the oil spill or aid in the clean-up and containment of it, send them in! SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER Thank you, your sign-up request was successful!

Femme Fatale Cosmetics
Samples cost $1.10 each and as long you purchase only samples, Femme Fatale will deliver for free, anywhere in the world.
I used Fyrinnae Epoxy under all these swatches but I later found that I didn't really need it. FF eyeshadows apply incredibly intensely without the need for primer.
In the first set that I swatched, all the eyeshadows were sheer with a dramatic colour shift - the kind of shade that really intensifies over a darker base.
Out of these shades, my favourites were Icemist Diamond and Golden Peridot - the vibrancy is lovely.
Set 2:
My swatches don't do these shades justice, especially not Eternal Trance. It is one of the most beautiful, intense, rich deep greens I've ever seen. I'll be buying a fullsize, for sure. This is one of the shades that looked better without a base.
Set 3:
The shades in this set have quite obvious duochrome finishes in real life, which is what drew me towards FF cosmetics in the first place! Glowy and gorgeous.
Set 4:
Out of these, I see myself getting the most use out of Temporal Shift, but I absolutely love the glow from Dispersion too.
A couple of these were samples which was very kind, especially as it seemed that the freebie shades were matched to my taste according to my order. Delivery was reasonably fast from Australia, when you consider I live in the UK.
What I particularly like about these eyeshadows is how smooth and vivid they applied WITHOUT base or primer. Unfortunately I don't have photos of those swatches as I was just messing around and they were far too messy. But I was very impressed, as most mineral based eyeshadows seem to need a base to really shine. These were different and I'll definitely be ordering some fullsizes.

Oh, those are lovely. I can't wear glittery things for day-to-day use, but they'd be brilliant for an evening out. I can see myself in the Riptide or Wisp (are those the right names? Everything's too small for my eyes at this time of night) or any of the greens. The Eternal Trance is especially beautiful. I have a gel liner in almost exactly that colour and I've been looking for a shadow; the liner uses up really fast if I do more than line with it.

Paso Robles Wines
Planning to visit Paso Robles for Zin Festival in two weeks, and only would like to hit 3 wineries at the most. May I get recommendations on which wineries should I hit for tasting? The only criteria is that they should have great wine, ambiance or tasting fees are not important.
This one is too easy. Have your namesake wine at Linne Calodo. The Problem Child there is very nice. Sticks and Stones was tasting really good when I was there a couple of weeks ago.
Since you are going for Zin fest, you might want to focus on that. For them, I would say my top three would be:
Turley - very nice and impressive Zins. Tasting fee is steep though. I just buy the Dusi and Old Vines. Linne Calodo and L'Aventure - Zin blended with different varietals. Zin Alley was also good last I tried it but they only do one offering each year IIRC.
If you don't want to be tied to just zin, here's a can't miss Westside tour for you.
Call ahead and set up a winery tour at Tablas Creek for say 1pm. Buy some sandwiches for a packed lunch before you start.
Start with a warmup at Lone Madrone on 46 just before Vineyard. Their new white wines should have just been release (or real soon now). My faves (Picpoul Blanc, Syrah, Mourvedre, Barolo).
Turn right on Vineyard and take first Right into Linne Calodo. You can't miss with any of his stuff.
Denner (a bit further down Vineyard) has a great white blend, Syrah, and may have a Grenache out now. The Grenache is the same used in Saxum and Villa Creek.
For a wine break, further down Vineyard hit the Willow Creek Olive Ranch and do some tasting of the Pasolivo olive oil. Try the Olio Nuevo and flavored oils as well, you will love them.
That should put you about time for Tablas Creek. Before your tour buy a bottle of the very nice Rose and have lunch on the patio. Then hit the tour. Winemaker is also the maker at Lone Madrone so you have come full circle. Different style, impressive white and red blends with the nicest tour around.
Finish off with dinner at Villa Creek, ordering a bottle of the house wine (Grenacha if they have it or Willow Creek Cuvee) then order a second bottle to take home. Best wine deal in town.
If you have a second day or are really gung ho, lots of others to try. Some other random places I like:
Halter Ranch - on the way back out to Vineyard, impressive variety of estate vines and wines.
Terry Hoage -very nice Syrah off the gravel Arbor road.
Nadeau Family Cellars - high-octane Zins with nice Rhone style as well.
I like a lot on the East side also but will leave that for others.
re: BeachGrub
Great rundown BG. I'm also a big fan of Linne Caldo, and Tablas Creek. And for zins, I agree, you can't go wrong with Turley.
Thanks for the response. I'm familiar with Linne Calodo as I have been an LC experience member for over 2 yrs now hence my handle as their Problem Child is also one of my favorites wines.
I'm not familiar with the other wineries around that area hence the post and thank you so much for your feedback, that is most certainly some of the wineries that I would try when I visit.
There's a bazillion threads on this on the board. My votes would be for Tablas Creek, Garretson, Linne Calodo and L'Aventure.

hey can somebody help me! im being trying to run the cIOS 222 installer v4
and when i chose the IOS that i want to install it freezes on me and my remote stops working !!!!
SO I am already doing that....
I'm not sure what I have done, but I have a hardmodded Wii, with the Twilight Hack, and HBC. I have alot of IOS installed (the 4.2 guide) and I can actually run this game without running it from a USB loader.
One thing bothers me, it has HUGE problems reading the disc. It just says it can't read the disc. I'll take it out, and it will ask for me to put it back in. It works for a couple of minutes, and then, same thing again.
Im not sure what it is, alot of games has this problem, some doesnt. I have even borrowed my friends backup discs and they work the same for the same game. :/

Review: Taza 21 (Squirrel Hill)
Posted by mike | Filed under Reviews
In an effort to venture outside outside the world of beer for once, I made my way down Murray Ave aiming for dinner at a non-bar. Okay, that wasn't my actual goal, but this site needs it. I ended up at one of Squirrel Hill's newer establishments: Taza 21, for some basic Middle Eastern fare. The bright, stylish sign always catches my interest, but I've only really ate there once before. I suspect part of that avoidance is motivated by an irrational concern over general healthiness (and a possible lack of salad options). That's actually completely unfounded: A quick glance over the menu ought to squash any concern, but the concern has a certain stickiness in my mind; I can't seem to shake it. Until now.
Taza 21
1827 Murray Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15217
(412) 904-2764
Taza 21 is actually a pretty tiny place but it boasts a more attractive sign and a cleaner, newer decor than many of the independent restaurants in Squirrel Hill. It's also very tiny: the whole restaurant couldn't take up more than 10-12 feet of sidewalk space and has space for only a few tables in the front of the restaurant. An equally tiny kitchen is completely visible to guests (and even passers-by), which makes it quite easy to watch every aspect of your meal's construction. I suspect there is also a grill out back that plays a role in some of the food prep, but that's just a hunch.
Run by a staff of two. The food prep is completed by a single middle-aged man, who I suspect is the owner (along with his wife). This time, I believe his wife was out back—potentially at the still-unconfirmed grill. The two did not seem to have any other employees helping, but that may not always be the case. Even if they did, more than two would definitely be too many cooks for the tiny kitchen. A review in the City Paper confirms this suspicion and gives them names: Frank and Silva Abraham.
The man behind the counter, who I suspect to be Frank was kind but offered relatively little interaction until I asked permission to take a few pictures after receiving my meal. After approving, he offered a: "do you like?" I did. He worked quickly and tended to a few items on his stove while also preparing my meal at a separate counter—essentially from a handful of basics set up on the counter. A few minutes later, I had a styrofoam box and a diet coke in hand. I had requested my order to go so I could get home before it got too late, so it came wrapped in a plastic bag as well.
Of wraps and roll-ups. The menu feels a little like that of Aladdin's: meat and vegetarian wraps (think rolled pita a la Aladdins), rolled pizzas, soup, salad, and a spackling of deserts. The central theme seems to be the wraps: and not the kind of greasy, french-fry-stuffed monstrosities appearing in some other Pittsburgh establishments. One filled with a parsley salad and another filled with grilled veggies and rice both caught my eye—at least 3 or 4 on the list were entirely vegetarian. When I ate there last summer, I seem to recall ordering the grilled veggie options and remember being somewhat disappointed by the small quantity of veggies relative to rice. My recollection is vague, but that's something to keep in mind.
The beverage selection is a mixed bag. Some of the smoothies and lassis typical of Middle Eastern cuisine appear in the menu and both bottled water and a small-ish range of canned soft drinks fill a single upright cooler behind the counter. The cooler included a few cans and a few of the can-sized 12oz plastic bottles—sometimes both for the same drink. I'm not sure if that reflects a transitionary state or not, but it seemed odd. For what it's worth, I didn't specify which form factor of diet coke I was aiming for and received a can.
Spinach; beets; tomatoes. This time, I ordered spinach and beet salad and was quite pleased with the result. The ingredients were basic: spinach, beets, marinated tomato wedges, and a dusting of fresh parsely, red onion, and a spice mix. The whole thing was tossed in an oil and lemon dressing. The baby spinach came right from a plastic bag of the size you might pick up at Giant Eagle. The other toppings were pulled from bins on the counter.
I liked it. Even after driving a few minutes home and plating in a ceramic bowl, I was pleased with the results. The pickled beets (sweet) and tomatoes (slightly tart) complemented each other extremely well, and both the parsley and red onion played exceptional supporting roles. It wasn't a big bowl, but I definitely ate the whole thing. Very well balanced and light—despite the fact that it travelled a few minutes post-tossing.
Will I go back? Probably, but not frequently. I like the place and have huge levels of respect for what they Abrahams are aiming for. Unfortunately, I'm not often in a situation where the sandwich stop style eatery makes sense. Then again, I'm intrigued by my two vastly different experiences: once getting a somewhat disappointing wrap and now getting an outstanding salad. I'd be interested in trying some of the other options on the menu. Who knows; perhaps I was just in a bad mood when I ordered the original wrap. That visit was long enough ago that I can barely remember the circumstances, and I'm always willing to grant another shot.
That said, it's definitely a place worth a trying. If you like Aladdins but want something a little scaled back and more unique to Pittsburgh, then Taza 21 is definitely worth at least a shot—especially if you're looking for a quick bite or non-pizza take-out.

I've never been disappointed with their food, always a great atmosphere and attitude from the owners. We're so used to 'fast food' that we forget that to make a damn good sandwich takes time and attention, which they do.
Just found they have a website over at http://www.taza21.com that really makes their food look great!

We really love the Shwarma from Taza 21. The lamb is best. The couple mixes fresh meat (grilled like proper kebab meat) with mint, fresh veggies and offer a wonderful yogurt cucumber sauce on the side. It has never disappointed me.
Also, in terms of drinks, try the Shwarma with an Ayran, which is a somewhat salty yogurt drink common in the middle east. It complements the sandwich perfectly and is very authentic. I really hope this place survives.

Ayran? I've heard a similar item called "lassi" (though many american shops sell a sweet version under that name). In any case, It sounds like I have to give Taza 21 another try.
I hope they stick around for some time as well! It's a great addition to Murray Ave.

WAGGGS launching first part of Photography as a tool for social change training with event in London
10 May 2013
PARTICIPATORY PHOTOGRAPHY AS A TOOL FOR SOCIAL CHANGE Training kicks off in Pax Lodge in London
Where: Pax Lodge, London, United Kingdom
When: 13-17 May 2013
17 participants from 17 countries will London to start their journey on saving children's and mother's lives.
WAGGGS has partnered with Photovoice – a photography charity - to implement this initiative on child and maternal health in line with the 2013 World Thinking Day themes of MDGs 4 and 5.
Continuing in its proud tradition of empowering girls and young women to speak out
and become active citizens of their community, WAGGGS will organize a training on participatory photography at Pax Lodge World Centre in London. Participants will be provided with all the necessary equipment, including individual cameras. The workshop will introduce participants to digital photography and visual literacy, and to techniques of storytelling and documentary.
Following full training and issue-specific preparation on child and maternal health from PhotoVoice and WAGGGS, the volunteers will travel back to their counties and deliver training with groups of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in their country.
At the end of the workshops, the work from all groups will be evaluated and the best photographs (identified through a participatory approach) will be selected for exhibitions in their local communities, as well as at international events where WAGGGS will be represented. (e.g. UN events, online platforms), to stimulate greater support for implementation of MDGs 4 and 5 and greater understanding of the roles girls and young women can and should play in development.
The project will establish a pool of trained trainers, who will act as experts and resource persons to support delivering the programme to young women and to set up projects on photography as a tool for communication and advocacy.
- These trainers will initially deliver training to girls and young women aged 15-24, who will be empowered to use photography to identify the most urgent issues in their community, express their vision and speak out.
- At least 10 exhibitions/events will be organized with MOs and at a global level, to ensure the voice of young women on the issue of child mortality and maternal health is heard
- Toolkit to use photography as a tool for communications and advocacy will be developed and distributed. Organizations unable to attend the first training of trainers sessions will receive guidance from the established pool of experts composed of the volunteers trained through this project.

I am normally a gamer that waits until games are really cheap or buy used, but I think I'm going to have to go get that one new. I love the belt! Nice way to add a kick to a shirtdress.ReplyDelete
@ Charlotte - if you liked Portal 1, then it's definitely worth picking up. Try gamefly if you don't like having to purchase new.ReplyDelete
That belt is amazing. Pumdals! Love it, you coined a new term. I have some pumdals.ReplyDelete
I have many a pair of pumdals... I'm glad to have a word for them now!
I love how sophisticated you look for standing in line for a video game! I bought a game today wearing jeans and a hoodie, I should have stepped it up (Dragon Age, I think. It wasn't for me).
Fab shoes! And what a steal. I love all the elements of your outfit - it's very futuristic-looking.ReplyDelete
I love, love, love that you got dressed up for a Midnight Release! Too fun - and any excuse to wear that most awesome trench is a must.ReplyDelete
Those shoes look great. Thrift store shoes in good shape are a rare find!ReplyDelete
This is a way cool outfit! What fun to do! love that trench! Ok, I need to calm down on the exclamation points here ... I dunno -- I get all excited sometimes. You know how you follow people, and sometimes they just get it completely right? This is one of those times.ReplyDelete
Adorable shoes! I've had that belt for months and months and I finally had to let it go to someone I knew would wear it!ReplyDelete
wow Megan, that's a great look to wear online for an 'event'. i love the "dual belting action" - Keeley's great gift, and the triple belting applique on the perfect trench!! fun fun fun.
i also have to say you did a wonderful job of picking a skirt for Sheila. it's beautiful in itself and a perfect look for Sheila! people with their own sense of style are impressive, those that understand the style of others......awesome. happy sunday! steph
I like the new shoes and the amazing belt...but it is the color of your hair in this night shot that steals the show. It's so beautiful.ReplyDelete
