Around the WhoWhatWearDaily.com office, there's little news that gets such an enthusiastic response as when we learn that an important designer or fashion house is collaborating with an affordable retailer. We know you get a kick out of the partnerships too, from Proenza Schouler for Target to Pierre Hardy for Gap, so we're particularly pleased to show you our latest obsession-H&M's tribute to Marimekko.
If you're not already mad about Marimekko, we'll give you a bit of background on the visionary textile (and more) design company. Launched in Finland in 1951, the company came to fame in the U.S. when Jackie Kennedy purchased and wore a number of Marimekko cotton print dresses during her husband's 1960 presidential campaign. The optimistic outlook of that era can be seen in the prints H&M chose from the Marimekko archives, the vivid colors and exciting patterns just sing of the sixties.
The collaboration between H&M and Marimekko was particularly prescient given the current fashion climate. The psychedelic swirls on the yellow and blue tunic top gently take you into the Summer of Love, but the modern design keeps it from looking costume-y. The collection is comprised of 70 pieces for women, men, and kids, and not only includes clothing, but bags, jewelry, and other accessories too. We sincerely hope you get a chance to check out the Marimekko tribute yourself because the simple, sophisticated pieces are must-buys for spring and summer. The collaboration debuted yesterday in H&M stores everywhere, so go now before it's too late!

On Thursday evening of the COMSOL Conference 2013 Boston, winners of the top papers and posters were presented with their awards. Reading through their papers and posters, I noticed a common theme: they all included experimental validation of their simulation results. While modeling provides crucial insight and understanding, as well as the opportunity to design and optimize your applications and processes, its credibility often depends on whether results test well against known results. The award winners at the multiphysics conference […]Read more ⇢

With the Super Bowl on the horizon, one has to wonder where that term "bowl" came from.
Football's bowls can be traced back to the early 1920s, when the collegiate football postseason would be one game. In 1923, the postseason game was moved to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. It wasn't until 10 years later that another large postseason game was held, this time in Miami, Fla. In order to capitalize on the popularity of the Rose Bowl, the Miami organizers called their game the Orange Bowl. Since then, numerous bowl games are held annually all over the country.
Prior to 2002, bowl games were not included in a player's season-long statistics. Today there are 35 bowl games played by collegiate teams, and even a rather popular one in the National Football League for professionals.
The Super Bowl is one of the world's most popular sporting events and determines the NFL champion each year.
Other bowl games are not part of the postseason, but simply are games that promote the rivalry between two opposing teams. These include the Egg Bowl, Iron Bowl and Steel Bowl, among others.
Across North America, bowl games are very popular. Canadians also get in on the action. Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) plays two semi-final "bowl" games, including the Uteck Bowl, played by the Atlantic Division Champion and the champion from another division. The Mitchell Bowl is played at the westernmost team's venue participating in the semifinals

I am not a fan of these tires. They are very hard and noisy. My real complaint is in the rain. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the United States where it rains a ton. To put it simply they suck in the rain. On a normal day of driving in the rain back and forth from school they break loose all the time under medium acceleration. If your a grandma driver these tires are probably fine in the rain but for most people steer away from these. I have also seen premature wear on the insides of the tires even with regular maintenance.

Hopelessly fragile tires. I blew out the front right tire on a small pothole at 40 MPH a few months ago. Spent $250 to replace it. Now I've lost the right rear to a slow leak in the interior sidewall. Looks like I'm gonna spend $1000 to replace the whole set after less than 20,000 miles.

I can't rate snow because I've been in Southern Texas since I bought them last year but driving crazy in the snow makes no sense. These tires are stiff and really hold the road. I put them through their paces as I'm in and out of traffic.

XL Overhead Construction, Inc. has agreed to pay $199,273 in back overtime wages to 92 employees following an investigation conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor's wage and hour division.
According to the federal agency, the company currently operates as XL Cable in Orangeville.
"This investigation reflects the department's commitment to protecting the overtime rights of workers and ensuring that workers receive the full wages they have earned," commented Dean Campbell, wage and hour division district director in Salt Lake City. "In this case, we recovered $199,273 in back wages for these workers."
The employer purportedly violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to properly pay overtime to employees receiving a piece rate.
Additionally, the firm reportedly did not include production based bonuses in the regular rate of pay when computing overtime.
"Employers must make sure they properly calculate the employees' regular rate of pay or overtime premiums will not be computed accurately," said Campbell.
The firm agreed to future compliance and payment of all back wages.
Enforced by the wage and hour division, the FLSA requires that employers pay covered workers at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and time and one-half the regular rate of pay for hours worked more than 40 in a single work week.
Companies must maintain adequate and accurate records of employees' wages, hours and other conditions of employment.
For information about the FLSA, Castle Valley residents may contact the U.S. Department of Labor's toll-free help line at 1 -866-487-9243 or the Salt Lake City district office at (801) 524-5706.
Information is also available to local residents with Internet access at www.wagehour.dol.gov.

I was wondering if it is necessary to soak the cashews? I've tried a few different nut milk recipes that require soaking the nuts, so I just wasn't sure if it made a difference or not?
Raw cashew milk recipe
Prep Time
Total Time
Shelf Life3 days in fridge
Rating4.8/5 (from 5 ratings)4.8
Yield3 cups
- 1 cup cashews
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar (or honey) (honey)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Recipe Directions
- 1. Blend the cashews and water in a high-speed blender. I use my VitaMix blender, which is the best blender in the world! Blend very well so that the liquid resembles a thin milk.
- 2. Add the remaining raw cashew milk recipe ingredients and blend again.
- 3. Drink this delicious raw cashew milk recipe and experience heavenly bliss! As mentioned above, your raw cashew milk can be drunk straight, or served as a milk substitute in cereals and other recipes.
The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
Raw cashew milk recipes do not come close to this sweet, almondy cinnamony raw cashew milk recipe.
Raw cashew milk can be used for many many purposes in your raw food lifestyle.
I tend to drink this cashew milk as a delicious sweet treat, perhaps as a dessert, or I serve it over home-made dry cereal or I even splash a 1/4 cup on top of a bowl of my raw oatmeal.
If you have all these ingredients on hand this recipe really only takes a minute to prepare. Cashew milk can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, but I would reblend before serving it in case any ingredients settle. But a batch of raw cashew milk doesn't last long in my house anyway!
PS: If you have any left over raw cashew milk from this recipe, try making raw chia seed pudding with your raw cashew milk recipe.
Please let me know how you like this recipe and any ideas of how you like to use this raw cashew milk recipe.

Hi Kimberly, it is not necessary to soak the cashews in this recipe
Apr 26, 2013
How long should I soak cashews or almonds (and in what) before blending? Would it soften them enough for a blender not as strong as the Vitamix?
Aug 07, 2015
I will definitely add more ingredients into my cashew milk!
Hope you enjoy, Gulmira!

Raw cashew milk recipe
Delicious raw breakfast....BUT: it is 767 !!!! cal and 20 !!!! gms fat. And what to eat for the rest of the day in order to have " naturally slim" raw diet figure? Any comments?
Just portion out your cashew milk, don't drink it all at once! :)
The recipe makes 8 servings. Did you drink it all at once? :) It is 115 calories per 4 oz serving. An 8 oz serving is still only 230 calories.
So lovely! I wish I could produce this in industrial quantities and deliver it to people in milk bottles outside their door every morning :p lol
I'm sure it would be appreciated, Ollie! :)

Luana's Review
Raw cashew milk recipe
Just made the yummy cashew milk! Outstanding recipe and so easy! We were horrified to discover the carcinogens in organic non dairy milk products: carrageenan, xanthan & guar gum.....so happy to be able to make our own! Been vegan 5 years after my husband was diagnosed by a rare, aggressive cancer. He had a 6 month lifetime expectancy and we became vegan the day he received his diagnosis...Five years later and cancer free and we just did a 60 day juice fast...want to take our health to the next level so we found your website and we are so happy! Thank you!!
Luana, I love hearing stories like yours. So glad your husband is well and thriving! I'm thrilled that you like my recipes! :)

Raw cashew milk recipe
This is so yummy I could drink it all by itself. I cut the honey in half. Much better than the almond and coconut milk I've been using for a while.

Raw cashew milk recipe
Never, EVER buying any other type of 'milk' from the store again. Much love for that. This is delicious <3
Thanks, Hazel! :)

Thanks Rawtarian, you have made nutmilk easy. No soaking and no bag. You simplify things which is what I like. Thanks, this one was easy and taste great- 10/10 from Ireland!
Lovely! And thank you for the compliment! :)
Hi Laura,
Can the Raw Cashew milk be kept and consumed beyond 4 days? I love this milk< but because I'm trying to loose weight by restricting my carb/fat/protein/sugar intake, it is taking me a bit longer to consume before 4 days.
Hi Yvette, It will go a little sour after 4 days. Perhaps a better idea in your case is to reduce the recipe size by half. Hope this helps!
May 05, 2014
i made this this morning to go along with my raw oats porridge and it was delicious it tasted like ice cream.I am still full :) and it midday
That's great, Anne. And yum, you're making me want some now!
Apr 24, 2014
I have a cheap blender and the cashew milk started to foam at the top, is that normal?? Next time I will omit the cinnamon since I am not a cinnamon person, but taste pretty good! I have to get used to the taste as I am avid almond milk drinker.
Kinda normal :) You can strain that off if you like - even using a spoon!

Amber's Review
Raw cashew milk recipe
I have a regular/crappy blender and it did not blend the cashews well enough. It tasted pretty good, that is why I commented above, however, after a few hours in the fridge, the milk clumped up. I even gave it a good shake, but clumpy pieces and the intense cinnamon flavor turned me off, so I discarded the whole thing. It is a shame that this is my first recipe and it is a fail.
I really want to try your mayo recipe, but could I use a food processor instead of my blender since my blender won't blend the cashews well enough??
Peace, Love and positive thoughts,
Sep 13, 2014
Amber, are you sure you didn't put too much cinnamon in -like maybe a tablespoon instead of a tsp? cinnamon makes things clump up and it would make for an intense flavor... I would try it again with just cashews and milk and maybe agave and see if it does the same thing! good luck!

Entering its seventh year, Exelon/ComEd/United Way Stay in School Initiative unveils its annual report card
CHICAGO — Students from Chicago public high schools who participated in a program created by Exelon, ComEd and United Way of Metropolitan Chicago to encourage students in at-risk communities to graduate high school reported substantially higher graduation rates than their peers throughout Chicago Public Schools (CPS).
According to the program's annual report card, which was unveiled Saturday, students who participated in the Stay in School Initiative had a 92 percent graduation rate compared to the 60.6 percent average for CPS seniors for the 2011-2012 school year. This is the fifth consecutive year that high school seniors in the program achieved a graduation rate above 90 percent.
"The Stay in School Initiative is a great example of how a partnership with the private sector can improve the lives and academic performance of Chicago students," said Andrea Bazán, senior vice president of resource development at United Way of Metropolitan Chicago. "Our report card illustrates the success of this collaboration and how we are able to provide opportunities for students who are most at-risk."
Exelon and United Way created the Stay in School Initiative to address the issues preventing teens from graduating high school. Three community-based afterschool agencies – including B.U.I.L.D Inc., Centers for New Horizons and Youth Guidance – support the initiative. They provide a holistic suite of programs for students and their families that includes tutoring, social services, leadership and social engagement, skill-building, and parental workshops. Employee volunteers from Exelon and its subsidiary, ComEd, provide one-on-one mentoring during a seven-month long workshop series.
"The Stay in School Initiative has taught me so much in the three years I've been in the program," said Humboldt Park resident Jonathan Suarez. Suarez, 19, graduated from Pritzker College Prep and is currently a sophomore at the University of Illinois-Chicago. "I've learned and developed valuable business tips, networking opportunities and interviewing skills from our Exelon and ComEd mentors that are preparing me for college and my future."
The majority of the students in the Stay in School Initiative are from the Austin, Bronzeville/Grand Boulevard and Humboldt Park/West Town neighborhoods, communities with some of the highest dropout and truancy rates in the city. The initiative has served more than 13,000 students ages 13-20. It will serve an additional 2,000 students during the 2012-2013 school year.
The program's partners issue an annual report card to track their progress and effectiveness in keeping participating students on track for graduation. The 2012 report card captured data from the 330 core students who were most active in the program and shows that students from at-risk communities can succeed with the right combination of afterschool activities and mentoring:
• 92 percent of Stay in School seniors graduated from high school, compared to the CPS graduation rate of 60.6 percent in 2012.** • 85 percent of Stay in School students were promoted to the next grade.• 85 percent of Stay in School students improved at least one grade in core courses (math, science and English), an 18 percent improvement from last year. • 76 percent of Stay in School students participated in postsecondary education activities (preparing for qualifying exams, such as the ACT).• 76 percent of Stay in School students participated in leadership-based activities (defined as non-violent conflict resolution and participation in out-of-school leadership programs).
"Education continues to be a signature focus of our corporate citizenship strategy," said Steve Solomon, vice president of corporate relations at Exelon. "We have six years of results showing the Stay in School Initiative works. Sometimes students require an extra push to get them to live up to their potential in the classroom. The Stay in School Initiative, with the help of our community partners and our employee volunteers, provides the motivation to succeed."
Exelon and ComEd have contributed more than $2.5 million to fund the Stay in School Initiative since its inception in 2004. The program was rebranded as the Exelon/ComEd/United Way Stay in School Initiative in October 2011.
Stay in School leverages Exelon's cultural partnerships and sponsorships to provide students with numerous enrichment and recognition opportunities throughout the school year. Exelon also runs a companion job skills development workshop series that provides up to 10 paid summer internships each year for students in the Stay in School Initiative. The internships are divided among Exelon, ComEd, United Way and the three afterschool agencies.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Protests, police reports, surveillance video. You would think we're talking about an action movie ... but really, it's just buying a used car in Florida.
Hundreds of dissatisfied customers like Cindy Senesack wrote to First Coast News about their bad experiences at the used car lots in town.
"This is absolutely a scam and a scheme, they take advantage of people like myself, who are down on their luck," Senesack said.
The horror stories are well-documented online, from repossessions to shady financing, to cars catching on fire when they leave the lot.
"We started having these problems with it not even a week after having the truck," said Rebecca Williams.
Williams said she bought a used truck for $16,000 and before she made her first payment, it needed repairs to the tune of $7,000 dollars.
"I am so frustrated."
But when it comes down to it, people in the market for used cars have very little legal protection in the state.
"If you buy a used car that does not come with a warranty, it's completely a gamble on your part," said Attorney Eric Friday.
Friday said if someone agrees to purchase the car AS IS, that's exactly what the dealer means.
"Just because the car breaks down the day after you drive it off the lot does not mean the seller of the car did anything wrong," Friday said.
A car salesman at Motor Maxx who did not want to talk on camera, told First Coast News the business was like the wild west, and they have to call police for their own protection from irate customers.
But even businesses who have dozens of DMV complaints filed against them and an F rating with the Better Business Bureau remain open, because when a buying a used car in Florida, the law is on their side.
"As is means as is," Friday said.

Prescription medications have become like new cars and breakfast cereals. Many of them are being marketed directly to the public through ads on television and in magazines. Some medications get so much free publicity they don't need to be advertised.
Smart consumers should use advertisements as motivation to become more educated about their own illnesses and choices for treatment. Often, when people view or read medication advertisements there are many unanswered questions. You should always check with your health care providers to get answers to those questions. Also, find out if the advertised medication is right for you or just different than what you are already taking.
Medications have the power to fight disease and improve quality of life. Many also have serious side effects. Deciding whether the benefits are better than the risks depends on several factors:
Your age. Your body uses many medications in different ways as you get older.
Your lifestyle. For example, you may need to avoid drugs that make you sleepy if you operate machinery, and avoid other drugs if you smoke.
Diseases or conditions you may have. A medication that helps one condition may make another one worse.
Pregnancy or possible pregnancy. Pregnancy needs careful prescribing and decision-making between the woman and her health care provider.
Possible drug and food interactions. The drug's effect may be made stronger or weaker by other medications, supplements you take, or foods you eat.
Knowing as much as you can about the medications you take, or think you should take, is especially important if you are a member of a consumer-directed health plan like a medical savings account. These plans place more responsibility for health care decisions on your shoulders.
When deciding whether a medication is right for you, be aware that any medicine can have side effects. Magazine and newspaper ads for medications contain summaries of prescription information. These include warnings of possible interactions and side effects. TV commercials usually provide toll-free numbers you can call for information or direct you to a print ad. If the medication is sold over-the-counter instead of by prescription, the summary is provided inside the package.
In-depth information about prescription drugs can be found in the PDR (Physician's Desk Reference). This huge reference is updated every year and is available at larger bookstores, public libraries, and on the Internet. It has the information in the package insert sent with the medication to the pharmacist. Reading and understanding this information may be difficult for the average person.
Pharmacists are a valuable resource for information about your medications. Pharmacists can translate the difficult drug information into terms you can understand.
If you believe you could benefit from a certain medication that you have heard or read about, talk to your health care provider or pharmacist. Either one may know if your current medication is the best for you or may know of another medication that is better or less expensive to treat your condition or symptoms.
Many conditions need you to make changes in your lifestyle in addition to, or instead of, taking a medicine. For example, you may have to change your diet to try to lower your cholesterol before a drug that lowers cholesterol is prescribed.
Make sure your insurance plan covers the drug. If it doesn't, you may be able to get the medication by paying part or all of the cost. Or, another drug the plan covers may be a good substitute.
If your health care provider prescribes a medication, find out what you need to do to get the best results. Ask your health care provider what benefits you can expect from the drug. Understand when and how you should take it. Find out about possible side effects and what you should do about them. Many pharmacists provide computer printouts with general information about drugs. This includes when and how often to take them, whether to take them on a full or empty stomach, and other important information.
Talk to your health care provider or pharmacist as soon as possible if you're not getting the results you expect or are having any type of unexpected side effects. Keep taking the medication, though, until you can talk to your health care provider and follow his or her advice about stopping or changing your medications. Even if a new medication is prescribed, you have to take it in order to know if it will work or have different side effects than the medication you took before.
If you see more than 1 health care provider (like a family doctor and a heart specialist) and a new medication is prescribed, be certain to let your other health care provider know. If possible, it is also best to fill all of your prescription medications at 1 pharmacy.
When it comes to your health, be an educated and responsible patient and consumer.

Marburg actually is a genuine coldwater fishery with oxygenated depths where trout can grow and thrive unlike many warm water lakes that used to be heavily stocked (like Opossum Lake). Personally, I'd like to see fingerlings continue on Marburg, even if the numbers of fish have to be curtailed.

Jake caught a 20" rainbow a few years ago...thats one. Anyone else? 1 out of 250,000 doesn't make a make a fishery. I've never heard the trout call to marburg. And I have lived here for 13 years.

While the lake produced trophy sized trout in numbers large enough (18-25") under the old fingerling stocking program to attract a few anglers with downriggers (one from Reading, Pa), in later years the fingerlings did not do very well, probably as a result of predation. A switch was made to stocking adult trout not to provide an instantaneous fishery as is done each spring in other waters around the state, but in this case to improve the chances that the RTs' would get past the predators in large part because of their larger size than the fingerlings. By fall of the first year RT's were running from 13-15", seemed fairly numerous at night around the islands based on electrofishing, and by the following fall anglers were catching 18" fish. In later years we heard that the typical fish were 18-25". The fishery never took off, however, in that it did not become popular with enough anglers to make continued stocking worthwhile. For example, when I polled 75-100 anglers at last year's Lake Marburg fishing symposium, none indicated that they had fished for the larger trout. While a number of angler enjoyed fishing the cove for the stockies when they were first stocked and for a few days until they dispersed, that was not the intent of the program and it would not be a very efficient or effective way to run a regular adult trout stocking program, where returns are much better from smaller lakes and small to mid-size streams. If you desire to try for Marburg's large RT's there is still plenty of time to do so as the last of the annual stockings occurred last spring. There should be a full range of year classes present in the lake. A helpful hint: In the fall (Oct or Nov) we found the RT in the weed beds at night, especially in the island area (Round Island). I would think that the fish would be dispersed throughout the main body of the lower lake anytime that the water is cold enough, not just in fall. My recollection is that we also saw some RT in near shore weedy areas not associated with the islands. The north shoreline was the location (not in coves).

Striped bass stockings: Would probably work if they can get past the gauntlet of predatory white perch, but would do little to "control" the white perch population. Any impact of stripers on white perch would even be less now that gizzard shad populate the lake as well. The best and only control that I have seen work so far for white perch has been a natural fish kill at Nockamixon Lake. The population never recovered; only a remnant population remains (winter kill happened in 1985-86).
1) Need. York Co already has two striper/striper hybrid fisheries (three if you include those that make their way from Lake Redman into Lake Williams, and four if you include the Conowingo Pool of the Susquehanna). Additionally, the Susquehanna Flats fishery is close by. Furthermore, we have recently been working to increase the abundance of another species (muskellunge and tiger muskellunge) through increased stockings of muskies and new stockings of tigers in Marburg (to create a desirable, higher catch rate fishery, not to control white perch). The tiger muskellunge program was dropped at Redman due to lack of more recent success and angler interest. So the lake has been receiving attention (in addition to its channel cat, crappie, and walleye stockings).
2) Practicality. Anglers should be more successful in smaller lakes than in larger lakes where successful stockings are taking place. Pinchot, Redman, Williams, all smaller lakes, already have successful fisheries. Additionally, since the fish are stocked as fingerlings (at the moment) and on a per acre basis, it takes less fish at a lesser cost stocked in a smaller lake to create a desirable fishery.
3) Availability of fish. Fingerling stripers are not as available as they once were and there may be a shift back to typically less reliable fry stockings in some lakes as a result. This would not be a good time to add more lake acreage to the striper stocking program, at least not for fingerlings.

Interesting. There was certainly a lot of positive buzz about muskies in Marburg yesterday and many pics/fish stories about them. The fish in the photos (all purebreds as far as I could tell) looked good and many of them were extremely fat. Folks felt that the shad forage base was the reason for the thick fish and fast growth rate.

I have caught (and released) a couple nice sized rainbows near the shore while I was nymph fishing for bluegills.
Every spring (as Mike explained) they put a truckload of stockers into the lake. Usually several places, but last year the whole truck was dumped in at "Sailboat Launch". Everybody caught like crazy for three days, then the trout dispersed and none were caught there again.
I've noticed hundreds of Cormorants appearing right after they stock the trout! I know they are protected, but I wish the duck hunters would take their shotguns in their boats and shoot as many as they can! Both islands get packed with the dirty birds every spring.
I see that they stock Crappie by the tens of thousands every year. That is the best fish for that lake. Muskies and Trout and Walleye and even Bass are OK, but the Crappie and Bluegill are the fishing fun IMHO! White Perch are also OK, I'm so glad someone put them in the lake!

The rainbow I caught was over 20" for sure and fat. I heard reports of locations and methods on the lake that catch rainbows in numbers. People are fishing using nearly the same methods as were used with the cohos.
I know from accounts that there are still big bows in there. Its just that Marburg is such a deep decent sized lake and finding each species gets very technical / stroke of luck. I have found, the large rainbows seem to be adjacent to the same areas I have found the largest bass. And mostly its deep.

I found this thread internet fishing and just wanted to give you a little feedback.
The musky fishing this past season was great IMO. This past year was probably the least I fished but I saw more decent musky this year than ever. I didnt catch any monsters (mid upper 30's was my biggest) but had numerous short outings where I raised 2-3 fish in maybe a 2 hour session. This was all done from the bank too.
I should have a lot more free time this year to chase them.
Thanks for keeping Marburg a great fishery. The past 2 years it has treated me well.

Thanks for the feedback and glad that the lake (and muskies) have been good to you. We've stocked both tigers and pures, with some increase in the number of pures stocked, but a substantial boost to the overall muskellunge population with the addition of tigers, which I am able to have stocked at a much higher rate per acre.

Welcome, Josh. I'm pretty sure that I talked to you last summer at Marburg? if that's you in the pic?
You were using a spin rod with a plug, and you mentioned about all the pike and muskies in that lake?
I told you that I was after tiny bluegills with a tiny flyrod? This year I'm packin' a casting rod in my toon? ..... some "Rattin" in the weeds, and a big ole Senko on a 3/0!

One million white perch in that lake! That sounds like a sustainable commercial fishery. May even be possible to harvest profitably with hook and line.
Those are some tasty fish, white perch.

If you want to target trout in that lake, it sounds like you'll want to find the thermocline layer of the water during most of the year.
For those who don't know, the temperature of deep lakes falls into roughly three layers during the warm part of the year- the warm layer near the surface, the cold layer at the bottom, and the thermocline, which is in between.
The cold layer is most often 39 degrees F/4C, which is the temperature where water is heaviest. (The miracle chemical property that explains why 32 F water floats when it becomes ice, and lakes don't ever freeze solid.) 39 degrees F is too cold for almost any fish species to prefer, which is why you won't catch much, if anything, if you fish the bottom depths of a deep lake.
Meanwhile, the surface layer might be around 75-80+ degrees in the summer, much too warm for trout.
The trout are like Goldilocks, and the thermocline layer is "just right".
So, drop a thermometer into the lake water, and you'll find it after a few soundings. Just make sure that uh the thermometer is attached to a line of some sort.
No doubt a fish finder will help, too, but that's cheating, isn't it?
If the trout in Marburg are like those in Maine trout lakes, there's one especially good time to find them in the shallows- for a few weeks after ice-out, in the spring. Often near the inlet feeder creeks.

Over that span, we've lifted pints, snifters, bombers and magnums of aggressively hopped, intensely flavored craft beer like vibrant, flashy banners proclaiming our mission and progress in pushing the American craft beer movement forward. But accomplishing that has been about more than making great beer. We aim to elevate everything about the craft beer culture. That includes events ranging from beer education to food-and-beer symbiosis to beer festivals.

Brand: US Speedo Part Numbers:
Located in Flint Michigan, US Speedo® is the leading manufacturer of OEM quality gauge restyling products. From simply repairing speedometers, they began to supply converted gauges for people who wanted to import metric-gauged cars into the USA, which requires MPH, not KPH speedos. That small market transitioned into nation-wide orders for unique restyled color gauges on most popular vehicles! Soon after, they invented and patented the stainless steel gauge face, which has evolved into even more dramatic designs such as the Aqua Edition and Aqua Mariner. US Speedo also pioneered the popular designer NewKeyFob shells, which are sold nation-wide.

Inappropriate medications are those for which the risk of an adverse outcome with use of the medication outweighs the potential benefit. The goal of this project was to design and develop modules that would educate physicians to help guide prescribing habits towards therapies that are more appropriate and pose a lower risk for the elderly population.
A three year, multi-phase prospective demon-stration project targeting all 303 Parma AUSL general practitioners (GPs) prescribing for approximately 80,000 outpatient elderly was established and introduced in 2007. The quality improvement initiative hinged upon increasing GPs' awareness of prescribing for the elderly and included three key elements: i) the initial dissemination of a list of medications deemed potentially inappropriate (PIMs) in older patients, along with a list of alternative drugs to PIMs; ii) annual reviews of PIMs prevalence data; and (iii) a series of educational sessions on PIMs via academic detailing and case studies reviews. To evaluate if the educational intervention has had an effect in improving prescribing behaviors among physicians We analyzed the prescribing behavior of physicians in the Parma AUSL per-post intervention, from 2006-2009 in order, and found that the intervention led to significant reductions in PIMs exposures and likely translated to significant population health benefit among their older patients.

The PostSecret Project is a lot of things. Its a blog with more than 600 million recorded visitors. Its a book series published by HarperCollins. Its a multimedia presentation. Its an effort that has raised millions of dollars for suicide prevention.
But before all that, it was just a guy walking the streets of Washington, D.C., with a handful of postcards, soliciting secrets from strangers.
It felt as weird as it sounds, said PostSecret founder Frank Warren.
Mr. Warren spoke about the events that led him to create his popular blog and book series before a crowd of more than 200 people Wednesday night at Jefferson Community College.
It was a complex night emotionally, alternating peals of laughter with tears and moments of reflection organized around a powerful central theme: sharing secrets can save lives.
Through partnerships with 1-800-suicide, a suicide preventation hotline, and Im Alive, a text-based suicide prevention hotline, The PostSecret Project raises awareness about the prevalence of suicide in society and the tools available to fight it.
Mr. Warren began his blog as an experiment, scanning and posting the cards that he distributed.
People would decorate them, send them to him and he would scan them and post them to a website.
The first week the site attracted 100 visitors, the next week 1,000, and before too long, tens of thousands of people were visiting, according to Mr. Warren.
Suddenly I didnt feel so crazy. I felt like I had accidently tapped into something, he said.
Mr. Warren said that since founding the PostSecret Project he has received messages on seashells, Polaroid pictures of people in the nude, a bra, a knife, a flip-flop sandal and even a 1-pound bag of coffee his favorite method of delivery.
Mr. Warrens presentation included the last voice mail messages of deceased loved ones sent to him by people inspired by a postcard that read, When people I love leave voice mails on my phone I always save them in case they die tomorrow and I have no other way of hearing their voice again.
These voices were played in tandem, each overlapping the next, until the strains of a unorthodox happy birthday song issued from the warm and scratchy voice of an elderly woman filled the auditorium.
The cascade of voices ended, and just as Mr. Warren, who has a studied nonchalance in his delivery, began to speak again, the telltale sniffles and rustling of coats could be heard as attendees wiped their eyes.
Theres always a lot of emotion in the room after I play those messages, Mr. Warren said, following up the emotional climax of the night with a humorous anecdote about ex-lovers and email accounts.
Revealing some of his motivation for starting the project, Mr. Warren shared a voice mail message left by his mother, with whom he appears to have a difficult but functional relationship.
The message indicated that his mother did not want to receive a copy of his latest book, Confessions on Life, Death and God, because she saw it in a bookstore and did not approve of the content.
Mr. Warren said that he began keeping secrets when he was young to avoid his mothers judgment.
The first memories I had keeping secrets were from my mom, he said. I learned only after PostSecret took my life and turned it upside down ... I would go through the worst experiences of my life again exactly as they occurred because they led me to this place, this moment right now. Those experiences led me to fight for suicide prevention.
The event was organized by the colleges Campus Activities Board and received positive reviews from those in attendance, many of whom lined up after the presentation to purchase signed copies of Confessions on Life, Death and God from Mr. Warren.
Austin T. Orecchio, a sophomore creative writing student at JCC, received a copy of one of Mr. Warrens books for free after he asked the author for a hug.
Its really great to hear about people coming together instead of hearing about differences. ... Honestly thats why I wanted to give him a hug, he just made me so happy, Mr. Orecchio said.
Mr. Warren will deliver the keynote address during the colleges sixth annual Leadership Day today at 9:30 a.m. Nearly 400 students, including more than 350 from area high schools, will attend, according to the college.

Daytona Beach firefighters were called out to the 300 block of Kingston Avenue for a reported residential structure fire just before 8 a.m. on Saturday.
Firefighters said when they got on scene, crews found heavy smoke and flames coming from the rear of the home.
Fire crews made their way into the structure through the front door and fought the fire from the inside to prevent fire from spreading, officials said.
After the initial knock down and control of the fire, fire crews discovered that the fire was inside a wood frame addition to house, firefighters said.
Firefighters said the home was vacant.
Firefighters believe that transients in the neighborhood may have had a fire going last night to keep warm from the overnight cool temperature and left the fire unattended.
No injuries were reported on scene and the actual cause of the fire is still undetermined at this time. Fire crews estimate the fire caused about $30,000.00 worth of damages, firefighters said.

The Watertown Red and Black suited nearly 50 players for Saturdays Empire Football League regular season home finale at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
If that many players would show up to practice, according to coaches and team leaders, the nations oldest semipro football team would garner better results than the 26-0 blowout loss to the Syracuse Shock.
The Red and Black (4-4 overall, 3-4 league) erased any chance of a first-round bye and, with just a Sept. 21 game at Plattsburgh remaining, all but assured itself a road game to open the EFL playoffs.
People can say what they want to say and think theyre in the greatest shape in the world, but that field tells the truth, Red and Black coach George Ashcraft said. That field can haunt the guy that wants to think hes one thing and doesnt want to practice.
I think if they would come together and play together and practice well for two weeks, we can go up to Plattsburgh and beat Plattsburgh, he added.
The Red and Blacks offense tallied just 32 net yards on Saturday, compared with the Shocks 306.
The Red and Black punted on seven of its 10 offensive possessions, lost two fumbles and turned the ball over on downs.
Red and Black quarterback Tyler Michaelwicz, avoiding pass rushers every time he dropped back, went 0-for-9 and was sacked four times for a loss of 25 yards. He did not play in the second half after suffering a hand injury. Ashcraft was optimistic about Michaelwiczs chances to play in the regular season finale.
His replacement, Shane Slate, completed one of his eight passes for 19 yards. He was sacked twice for a loss of 20 yards.
Like every football team Ive played on for the last decade, these things happen, veteran offensive lineman Amir Farhat said. Teams got to grow together. But its kind of late now. Its late in the game to put something together so we have to finish strong with what we have and thats all we can hope for.
Justyn Hardwick did most of the damage for the Shock (5-2). He scored on touchdown runs of one and 20 yards, then threw a 28-yard score to Aaron Smith on a flea-flicker late in the fourth quarter to provide the exclamation point.
Hardwick, who finished with a game-high 96 rushing yards on Saturday, ran for 157 yards on 18 carries to lead the Shock to a 30-6 win over the Red and Black in the season opener for both teams.
I dont know what it is because theyre a hell of a good team, Hardwick said. Theyre all big boys so I guess my speed gets them.
The Red and Black defense forced three interceptions on the Shocks first four drives. But the offense followed those turnovers with a pair of three-and-outs and a lost fumble by Joe Brennan.
Its frustrating. I thought the defense played very well and forced some turnovers. We did as much as we could in the situations we got put in, Red and Black linebacker Rob Hughes said.
Guys cant expect to come out here to games and just win. You got to come to practice, he added.
Watertown will have a bye this Saturday and end its regular season at Plattsburgh.
The Red and Black beat the North Stars, 28-13, on Aug. 10 in their only other meeting this season. The EFL playoffs are scheduled to begin on Sept. 28.
It was a rough game, said Red and Black defensive tackle Alex Tibbles of Saturdays loss. Our offense is a little shaky, got to try to get it figured out before playoff time.
Syracuse is definitely a game we can win (in the playoffs), we just got to have everybody here and playing 100 percent. If we get that, well definitely take care of them next time, he added.

Green Initiatives at 1&1
At 1&1, we are committed to doing our part to help support renewable energy programs and minimizing the impact that our business has on the environment.
Reducing energy.
We want clean energy, and we also want to consume as little energy as possible. Since the start of our first data center nearly 20 years ago, we have been using highly efficient power supplies with less than 20% heat loss, as well as omitting any unnecessary components within our servers.
Our data centers around the world are among the most energy efficient data centers in existence. Our combined global initiatives allow us to prevent 30,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Paperless billing.
All billing statements sent to customers via e-mail. We've also replaced our welcome packages with information that is available in electronic form. With the thousands of customers that join 1&1 each month, this saves a significant amount of paper each year.
Responsible office practices.
In our corporate offices we participate in the community recycling program, and have chosen reusable kitchen items, as opposed to using paper or plastic cups and utensils.
Going green globally.
Our employees in our global headquarters in Germany share the green passions of their US counterparts. 1&1 employees in Germany benefit from environmentally friendly radiant heating and cooling in office buildings, and mostly bike, walk or use public transportation for commuting.
"1&1 is proud that our worldwide customers are now part of our 1&1 green coalition, with all hosted websites contributing to offsetting carbon emissions through the support of renewable energy."- Robert Hoffmann, CEO Hosting 1&1 Internet
1&1 and BEF
1&1 has partnered with the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) to offset 100% of the energy usage of our data center in Lenexa, Kansas by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The RECs purchased by 1&1 Internet are then sourced from renewable energy projects across the United States to ensure the decrease in overall carbon footprint and pollution to our surrounding environment.
1&1's renewable energy purchase for the facility is enough clean energy to power at least 300 U.S. homes for one year!
1&1 and BEF work in tandem with Green-e, the nation's leading voluntary certification program for renewable energy, to power our data center with clean, renewable energy. Green-e certifies renewable energy that meets environmental and consumer protection standards that it developed in conjunction with leading environmental, energy and policy organizations.
