Coldwater Fisheries
Savage River Trophy Trout Fishing Area
The Savage River tail water is one of Maryland's top fishing destinations for trophy wild brook and brown trout. Our 2007 surveys showed that adult trout densities about 1,000 per mile throughout most of the river. Brown trout dominate the population, while brook trout still maintain about 25% of the total numbers. The number of quality-size brown trout in the river is remarkable; there is one brown trout > 12 inches for every 19 feet of river! The Savage River also is home to some of the largest native brook trout in Maryland, with the average adult brook trout measuring just more than 8 inches, with specimens measuring 12 inches collected in the 2007 survey. Reproduction was considered good for both trout species, with a combined species estimate of more than 1,000 young of year trout per mile.
The Youghiogheny River Catch and Release Trout Fishing Area
Trout populations in the Yough River Catch and Release Area are still recovering from the devastating hot summer of 2005; however the size of the trout in this river makes it a place you have to fish! The upper station near Hoyes Run has the highest adult densities, about 588 trout per mile. The population is about 50/50 brown and rainbow trout, supported by annual fall fingerling stockings. Big brown trout greater than 20 inches were collected in our sample stations, and even rainbow trout exceeding 17 inches were collected in 2007. Coldwater temperature enhancement flows from the Deep Creek Lake Power Plant were made throughout the critical summer period, so we expect the trout population continue to improve in 2008. About 14,350 fingerling rainbow trout and 6,688 fingerling brown trout were stocked in the Yough C&R Trout Fishing Area during 2007.
The North Branch Potomac River
With 50 miles of managed trout water ranging from Put and Take, Delayed Harvest, Catch and Release, and Zero Creel trout management areas, the North Branch Potomac River offers something for everyone. In 2007 we stocked the river upstream of Jennings Randolph Lake via rail-truck to get trout into the remote Delayed Harvest Trout Fishing Area bordering the Potomac State Forest, and will continue to do so in 2008. The upper Catch and Release Trout Fishing Area downstream of the Jennings Randolph Dam is the place to go for a fish of a lifetime during the fall when large brown and rainbow trout drop down from the tailrace searching for spawning areas. The "Trout Grand Slam" still is possible in the river, as we collected brook, brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout in the upper C&R section during 2007.
The North Branch Potomac River's Zero Creel Limit for all trout species from Westernport to Pinto is another fishing destination anglers should put on their calendars in 2008. We stocked about 37,000 fingerling rainbow trout in this section of the river during spring and summer – and they survived well and grew to an average size of nearly nine inches by fall. Big brown trout were found throughout the Zero Creel Area, but the best trout fishing area is from Westernport to Black Oak.
North Branch Potomac River Catch and Release Black Bass Fishing Area
Smallmouth bass become the dominate game fish species in the North Branch Potomac River from the Keyser to Cumberland section of the river. Our surveys showed that an abundant year-class was produced in 2007, which bodes well for the future. The adult smallmouth bass collected during our surveys show a diverse age and size structure with a high percentage of the population in the quality and preferred size classes.
Deep Creek Lake
Studies conducted in Deep Creek Lake during 2007 showed Maryland's largest lake is home to at least 18 fish species, including the popular game fish and panfish species– walleye, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, northern pike, yellow perch, and bluegill. Walleye are considered abundant, and the adult population hosts a large percentage of fish in the 16 to 18 inch size class. Another exceptional year-class was produced in 2007, with a catch rate of 80 young of year walleye per hour. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are abundant in the lake as well, and their populations contain a high percentage of adults in the quality and preferred size range. Reproductive success was considered "good" for smallmouth and "fair" for largemouth bass. Yellow perch data were also obtained in 2007 to gain more knowledge on this species life history in Deep Creek Lake. Yellow perch had good reproductive success during 2007, and the adult population contains a high percentage of fish greater than 10 inches – those are some jumbo perch!
Upper Potomac River:
The upper Potomac River is a popular fishing destination for good reason. There are excellent opportunities for smallmouth bass, walleye, muskie and channel catfish throughout the river. The following are highlights of our 2007 survey efforts.
We began the year electro fishing for walleye at Cumberland, Spring Gap and Williamsport to evaluate population size structure and collect length at age data. The majority of walleye collected at Spring Gap and Cumberland exceeded 16 inches in length and several were real trophies. While this size structure makes for good fishing, it also suggests poor recruitment in recent years. Further downstream in the middle Potomac (Dam 5 to Dam 3) a more diverse size structure was documented, the result of consistent recruitment. Fair to good year classes were produced 2004 through 2006. Natural reproduction of walleye was documented in 2007 as well. However, based on electro fishing catch rates, the 2007 year class is thought to be not as strong as the three previous year classes. Nevertheless, walleye are abundant in the Potomac and fishing is predicted to remain very good in 2008.
Fish health issues (fish with external lesions, chronic fish kills in the Shenandoah, and intersexed smallmouth bass) in the Potomac watershed have been receiving national attention in recent years. To compare the health of fish in the main stem Potomac with other populations in the watershed, we collected a total of 81 adult smallmouth bass from the Potomac at four sites (Cumberland, Little Orleans, Shepherdstown, and Lander) during April. The USGS National Fish Health Lab analyzed these fish. Bass were examined for external abnormalities, internal and external parasites, histopathology of internal organs, and the presence and severity of intersex. Results indicate that smallmouth bass from the Potomac main stem display a moderate to high prevalence of intersex and carry a moderate parasite load. Results were negative for bacterial infectious agents. However, a positive for largemouth bass virus was returned at one site, Shepherdstown. Very few lesions have been observed on Potomac smallmouth bass and no fish kills of smallmouth bass have been documented in the main stem Potomac. The information obtained from this collection has been combined with other sites in Virginia and West Virginia to get the "big picture" of fish health in the Potomac watershed. Armed with this data researchers will have a better understanding of the factors that stress fish populations and lead to health problems.
Seining annually since 1975 has assessed smallmouth bass year class strength. Year class strength is an important variable, as it will affect both the abundance and size structure of the adult population in the following years. Throughout July 2007, we conducted 81 seine hauls between Cumberland and Seneca. When the tally was complete 2007 stood as the strongest year class in the last 32 years. Similar results were recorded in the major tributaries as well. The exceptional 2007 year class combined with strong year classes produced in 2005 and 2006 are expected to greatly increase smallmouth abundance in the coming years.
Electro-fishing surveys were conducted throughout the upper Potomac during the fall (October) to assess the relative abundance, size structure, and physical condition of adult smallmouth bass. Catch rates continued to climb as bass from the 2005 and 2006 year classes became large enough to be included in the 2007 sample. Catch rates for quality-size smallmouth bass (>11") increased in 2007 and were similar throughout the river regardless of other species (walleye, muskie) or regulations. Fishermen no doubt noticed the abundance of 12 to 15 inch bass last year. However, as the recent year classes start to influence the population, smaller bass will begin to dominate the fishery.
The allure of tangling with one of freshwaters largest fish, the elusive muskie, continues to attract more anglers to the Potomac each year. This population is sustained entirely by natural reproduction and their range has been slowly expanding. Pure-strain muskies were collected in 2007 at Lander and Whites Ferry marking the furthest downstream documentation of this species. Data is collected from muskellunge captured during electro fishing surveys as well as from angler-caught fish. Because of their naturally low abundance it is difficult to collect adequate population data to make statistically valid conclusions. Even so, the catch data suggest a relatively strong population with good size structure and trophy potential.
To prove that point, Steve Peperak brought in the New Year by catching and releasing a potential State Record muskie on a muskie jig of his own design. The large female measured just over 46 inches and bottomed out our 30 lb Boga Grip scale. The fish was weighed in a bag net to support its weight and prevent injury. After a few photos and high fives, she slipped back into the depths. Congratulations Steve!
In the fall of 2006 the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service issued a federal order prohibiting the importation of live fish susceptible to viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS), a highly contagious pathogen of fish, from the eight states bordering the Great Lakes. Since game and nongame species in the Potomac are highly susceptible to VHS, tiger muskie stockings have been suspended indefinitely.
I've enjoyed talking with many anglers throughout the year, some seeking information for a new adventure and others kind enough to share their success. The Potomac River is a wonderful fishery and the forecast looks excellent for 2008, good luck this year!
Beaver Creek Catch and Release Area
The Beaver Creek Catch and Release, Fly Fishing Only area in Washington County is a great example of what can be accomplished when government agencies, watershed associations, conservation groups, fishermen, citizens, and landowners all work together to improve the environment. Although each has their own personal reasons for taking action, everyone can enjoy the results. Large in-stream habitat improvement projects as well as numerous CREP and riparian planting projects throughout the watershed are improving water quality and habitat for invertebrates and fish. Landowners are generously providing public access to a mile of privately owned, wonderfully productive spring creek.
It is the goal of Inland Fisheries to develop a productive and self-sustaining wild brown trout population within the special regulation area. Wild young-of-year brown trout from the Gunpowder tailwater in Baltimore County were transplanted to Beaver Creek get the population started. These fish were marked with an adipose fin clip for identification. Survival and growth of these fingerlings has been excellent. Fairly strong natural reproduction was documented in both 2006 and 2007 and the adult population continues to expand. Visiting anglers should keep in mind that they are guests of the landowner while enjoying this fantastic resource and act accordingly so that we can all benefit from access well into the future.
Central Region
In 2007, central region fisheries biologists continued surveys in the region to search for and enumerate wild brook trout populations in accordance with long standing studies funded by federal aid money allocated from the sale of fishing licenses. Much of the work will eventually help in the formulation of a more inclusive wild brook trout management scenario for Maryland and will add to the wider reaching efforts of all the Eastern seaboard states that seek to identify and protect native brook trout populations.
Working in Harford County this summer, biologists discovered the existence of several new wild brook trout populations that were formerly unknown to DNR. Anglers wishing to find existing or new brook trout populations can also do so with just a few simple tools. A good topographic map and an accurate thermometer will give anglers some excellent leads to the brook trout haunts. Brook trout are found in the most pristine natural environments. Their habitats are typified by watersheds consisting of highly vegetated or forested lands that contain small perennial stream channels (often 3 to 6 feet wide) that have cold water (less than 68 degrees F) and have substrates of clean, small gravel and a stream channel of moderate gradient. When making your water temperature assessments, target the middle to late afternoon of a hot July or August day. That will give you the best chance at locating the very coldest water habitats likely to hold trout. The same approach will also put you into some very nice wild brown trout habitats that can be equally enjoyable to the angler!
Please be sure to abide by all private property signs and ask permission to fish before attempting to access private or posted property. Due to the sensitive nature of brook trout populations, we strongly encourage catch-and-release fishing.
Biologists attempted to collect white perch in May of 2007 in order to establish some age-growth data for future use. During the course of the survey, it became readily obvious that we had come too late. The schools of large white perch had come and gone, and only the small and intermediate fish remained. The upside of the effort was in that we discovered that Loch Raven Reservoir is full of gizzard shad! This was a shocking revelation, since nobody in DNR had every documented gizzard shad in the reservoir until 2006. During the 2006 Million-Dollar Fishing Tournament, central region biologist collected about a dozen and one half adult gizzard shad while collecting other sport fish for tournament tagging. Just one year later, gizzard shad were everywhere in the lake, even making their way up Western Run and to the base of Prettyboy Reservoir on the Gunpowder Falls. At this point, time will tell if the presence of the gizzard shad will impact (positively or negatively) the quality, predator heavy sport fish populations in Loch Raven Reservoir.
While conducting the white perch, staff biologists Charlie Gougeon and Todd Heerd stopped to photograph a few nice specimens that included a very nice black crappie and a nice chain pickerel. Although not included, we observed a number of good sized northern pike. Loch Raven is one of the few area lakes in the Central Region where anglers can catch wild reproducing northern pike.
Liberty Reservoir was sampled for sport fish populations in 2007 during a series of 30 nighttime electro-fishing surveys. Biologist Ken Booth is pictured with a nice largemouth bass. Ken works at the Albert Powell State Trout Hatchery in Hagerstown and offered to assist us on a fine evening in October. Crappie (both white and black) were most common in the Patapsco and Morgan Run areas of the reservoir. No adult striped bass were observed or collected during the survey, however, Western Region Biologists assisting us during the survey, collected two young-of-the-year, indicating that natural reproduction continues there. Very good numbers of largemouth and smallmouth bass were also observed throughout the reservoir. Each species showed us 5 pound plus representatives! Other species observed during the survey included the following; white perch, yellow perch, rock bass, white sucker, common carp, spottail shiner, spotfin shiner, golden shiner, yellow bullhead, brown bullhead, black and white crappie and banded killifish.
Biologists conducted their annual fall trout electro-fishing survey at three locations along the 17.5-mile long Gunpowder Falls tailwater. The stations included Dam/Falls, Masemore Road and Blue Mount stations that are located between 0.5 and 7.5 miles downstream of Prettyboy Reservoir Dam. Dam/Falls and Masemore stations fall under catch-and-return management allowing the use of lures and flies while Blue Mount station is managed as a two-trout/angler/day area that allows the use of bait.
Water temperatures were measured above Falls Road and below Blue Mount Road using continuous recording devices to monitor the new water release protocol. Since April 2004, springtime water releases have been directed through the 10-foot deep sluice gate instead of the 55-foot deep sluice gate in an effort to raise tailwater temperatures. The slight temperature improvement during the months of March, April and May has extended the growing period for trout and other aquatic life. Additionally, fall electro-fishing surveys were conducted at three established stations. From upstream to downstream, these three stations are Dam/Falls Road, Masemore Road, and Blue Mount Road. A quantitative assessment of all non-trout species was initiated in 2005 at the Masemore and Blue Mount stations and repeated in 2006 and 2007. The purpose of the non-trout assessment is to follow changes in the fish community structure and to determine how changing numbers of non-trout fish species may affect production and general condition of trout.
Brown Trout:
Dam/Falls Road Station – The Dam/Falls Road station was estimated to have 189 pounds/acre of brown trout adults and 5,036 brown trout/mile. This represented a 5% decline in standing crop and an increase of 8.4% in adult brown trout density as compared to 2006. Brown trout recruitment at this station was very high in 2007. One hundred and thirty young-of-year (YOY) brown trout were collected from the Dam/Falls Road station, resulting in an estimate of 2,388 YOY/mile. Forty-seven 47 YOY were collected in 2006 that resulted in an estimate of 959 YOY/mile. Both years represented excellent recruitment, despite the shortage of suitable spawning substrate in the area. Dam/Falls station has maintained the highest adult trout densities and standing crops of any surveyed location in the tailwater over a twenty-one year history. Approximately 300 meters of river was surveyed immediately above the Dam/Falls Road station using a single electro-fishing pass in search of rainbows and large brown trout. The largest brown trout collected measured 13.9 inches and weighed 12.3 ounces. Nine rainbow trout were collected that included adult and fingerling sized fish. The rainbows were collected in order to compile a larger sample to determine growth rates of rainbow trout.
Masemore Road Station – The Masemore Road station was estimated to have 49 pounds/acre and 1,104 brown trout adults per mile in 2007. This estimate was 39.5% lower than the 2006 estimate of 81 pounds/acre. The Masemore Road station also exhibited reduced brown trout recruitment in 2007 when compared to 2006. A total of 454 yoy brown trout were collected in 2006 and 281 yoy in 2007. Density estimates for yoy brown trout were calculated at 2,459 and 1,676 yoy brown trout per mile in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Masemore Road station has always produced strong brown trout recruitment over the many years of study.
Blue Mount Road Station – The Blue Mount Road station was estimated to have 24 pounds/acre of brown trout adults and 911 brown trout/mile. The estimate was 31.4% lower than the 2006 estimate of 35 pounds/acre. The Blue Mount Road station also demonstrated reduced recruitment in 2007. An estimated 642 yoy/mile were calculated in 2006 compared to 224 yoy/mile in 2007.
In summary, brown trout standing crops fell at all three stations in 2007 when compared to those estimated in 2006. Although water was released from the dam in 2007 using the same valve setting used in 2006, less flow was delivered to the tailwater in 2007 because of lake levels that were 4.6 feet lower in 2007. The lower reservoir pool elevation in 2007 produced less hydraulic head pressure that resulted in a considerably poorer flow. The reduced flow is thought to have caused trout to move out of shallow water and into adjoining deeper pools. In the case of Masemore and Blue Mount stations, the lower trout standing crops and densities observed in 2007 was thought to be partly influenced by some trout leaving the sample site in search of deeper water. The Masemore and Blue Mount Road stations showed the greatest decline in brown trout standing crop with a 39.5% and 31.4% reduction, respectively. Dam/Falls station showed a mere 5% reduction in brown trout standing crop and boasted the strongest recruitment of brown trout YOY in 2007. Brown trout recruitment was significantly lower in 2007 at the Masemore and Blue Mount Road stations when compared to 2006. Despite the lower recruitment estimates, recruitment of brown trout was determined to be more than adequate to produce a healthy 2007-year class of brown trout.
Rainbow Trout:
Dam/Falls Road Station – Since 2002, fingerling Kamloops rainbow trout have been stocked annually (no stocking in 2006) upstream of Falls Road in the spring/early summer. Rainbow trout fingerlings were not given an adipose fin clip in 2007; however, all prior fingerling rainbows were adipose fin clipped for later identification.
One adult and ten rainbow trout fingerlings were collected during the survey. A 300-meter single-pass electro-fishing survey immediately upstream of the Dam/Falls Road station was conducted in order to obtain a larger sample of rainbow trout used to determine growth rates. Nine rainbow trout fingerlings were collected. The fingerlings demonstrated excellent growth. Rainbow fingerling lengths ranged from 6 to 8.9 inches on 09/24/07; N=19 and 7 to 9.4 inches on 12/04/07; N=20. No adult or fingerling rainbow trout were captured during the fall survey at either Masemore or Blue Mount survey stations.
Rainbow Trout Stocking: The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) plans to resume stocking fingerling rainbow trout in May of 2008 at the revised rate of 5,000/year. MDNR has concluded that the number of fingerling rainbows stocked to date (approximately 2,500 per year) has proven insufficient to improve more favorable rainbow trout densities for anglers upstream of Falls Road. The lower stocking density used during the 1980s and 1990s proved more effective when brown trout standing crops were low and the trout fishery was just beginning to take hold. In recent years, brown trout standing crops have hovered around an estimate of 200 pounds per acre. Beginning in 2007, DNR stocked 5,000 fingerling Kamloop strain rainbow trout into the tailwater between the dam and Falls Road. This change improved estimated numbers of fingerling rainbow trout recovered from the measured length of the Dam/Falls electro-fishing station.
Fish Community Survey: Results of the fish community survey showed the Masemore Road station had six non-trout species in 2007 and five in 2006. The non-trout fish species has remained significant for only three or four total species, while additional numbers of species observed in any one-sample year, only consist of one or two individual fish. Non-trout fish species at Masemore station have increased progressively as follows; (3 in 2005), (5 in 2006), and (6 in 2007), while Blue Mount station has remained little changed with (14 in 2005), (13 in 2006) and (14 in 2007). The trout percentage, representing the combined weight of trout versus non-trout fish weight, was determined at each community fish sampling site. Trout represented 93%, 88% and 74% of the total fish weight collected at the Masemore station in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Trout represented 56%, 23% and 17.5% of the total fish weight collected at the Blue Mount station in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. It is too soon to provide further analysis of the trout/non-trout biomass comparisons; however, the data will serve as a standard to compare changes that may result from more manipulated tailwater temperatures.
Southern Region
Inland Fisheries conducted a game fish survey on Triadelphia Reservoir in the fall of 2007. Although large and smallmouth bass were targeted, data was also collected on other game fish encountered during the survey. Initial analysis showed an increase in the number of largemouth bass caught, and a significant increase in the number of smallmouth bass captured by electro fishing. The biggest largemouth was 3 lbs., 3 oz.; the largest smallmouth was 2 lbs. 5 oz. While the bass found during the survey seemed disappointingly small, anglers have reported catches of largemouth over 7 lbs. and smallmouth over 6 lbs. in the reservoir.
Many of the other game fish species were poorly represented in the survey with the exception of northern pike. Many small pike were collected and released after recording length, weight and taking a scale sample. Interestingly, northern pike have not been stocked in Triadelphia since 2002.
A similar survey was done in the fall on St. Mary's lake. The largemouth bass population appeared similar to previous studies- many small bass, some in the slot (11-15") and a few nice fish over 15 inches in length. The crappie and redear population are doing quite well with many large, fat fish showing up in the survey. More chain pickerel than usual were collected, apparently benefiting from the flooded terrestrial plants created by the prolonged drawdown and subsequent refilling of the lake.
The tidal Potomac provided good catches for anglers fishing in organized largemouth bass tournaments. Data collected at tournaments held primarily out of Smallwood State Park showed angler catches similar to previous years. The average weight of tournament caught fish in the 12-inch season was just under 2 lbs. Lunker weights averaged 4 lbs.
Tournament anglers fishing the Upper Bay also fared well with the average fish weighing 1.8 lbs. and the average lunker weighing in at 4.5 lbs.
Annual tidal largemouth bass surveys showed a similar number of young bass as previous years in most of the tributaries sampled. Largemouth bass reproduction on the upper portion of the tidal Potomac (above Broad Creek) is still limited but a slight increase in submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) was noticed in the main stem of the river and at the mouth of Smoots Bay. The number of largemouth bass in the area should improve if this increase continues over the next several years. The analysis on the adult population has not been completed.
Both blue catfish and northern snakehead have been observed in increasing numbers in the tidal Potomac River.
Eastern Region
The Eastern Region worked hard in 2007 to maintain and enhance many of the fisheries we enjoy so much. Several of the tidal rivers on the "Shore" support great largemouth bass fisheries, despite poor natural reproduction. Rivers like the Chester and Choptank are heavily stocked annually with juvenile bass to supplement natural reproduction. In 2007, over 40,000 bass hatched at the Unicorn Hatchery were stocked into the Choptank and Chester Rivers. Weekly sampling was conducted on each river to monitor survival and growth of these individuals. Currently, the Chester and Choptank are providing decent bass fishing, but numbers of bass in both systems have not yet recovered from their historic lows in 2003. With continued stocking and monitoring, we are confident that we can re-establish both fisheries to their former levels.
Each year, our staff enhances our public impoundments by deploying fish habitat structures. The structures are made from recycled Christmas trees and concrete blocks, and deployed into our impoundments on a 3-year rotational basis. In 2007, 25 structures were sunk into Smithville Lake and Stemmers Run Reservoir. Our electro-fishing surveys have shown that bass and panfish have quite an affinity for them.
With increasing development pressures, it is our job to monitor and protect the water quality of our streams. Most are unaware that Chesapeake Bay's health truly starts with those little tributaries that many of us cross during our daily commutes, but largely ignore. In 2007, Eastern Regional Staff preformed environmental evaluations of streams in several areas slated to be impacted proposed developments. Some streams contained small, wild, brown trout populations indicating good water quality. Results of these surveys are reported to Maryland Department of the Environment so they can be protected.

OPP: Annoying At Super Bowl Party
by Slacker And Steve
posted Jan 31 2013 4:47PM
Here is the email from today's OPP…
My college buddies have been getting together every year for almost 10 years to watch the Super Bowl. It's the one time we always get together. Girlfriends have come and gone. A couple of us are now married. But it's been cool … until this year. One friend started dating a girl that we all hate. She is beyond annoying. He knows we hate her and he still wants to bring her to the Super Bowl party. What should we do?
Slacker and Steve say that he is going to start getting faded out. If he brings his girlfriend, "Jenny Annoying Pants," he is choosing her over all of his friends. They think this is maybe his last ditch effort to get them to like her but this is a terrible time to do it. It's the biggest game of the year and she's going to ruin it for all of them. And why would he want to subject his girlfriend to all of his friends who can't stand her? More importantly than this OPP now is Slacker and Steve trying to find someone to make them "Jenny Annoying Pants" t-shirts.
What advice do you have for Rick?
I really hope I have never been considered that girl. But, I'm pretty amazing so I'm thinking that's not the case. I think that Rick needs to just man up and tell his friend that none of them want his girlfriend there. But if she does come, they should have a plan and a buffer.

Anyone want to watch the road trip together. Lil' viewing party!
Some nice things being produced in the way of attacking soccer, the boys seem to be linking up and combining to get in behind. The old long ball of years ago has vanished and some key components seem to be filling the gaps. One original still hanging around looked good in the scrimmage. Some new comers in the middle putting it together, replacing Mo and bringing new life to the squad. The only down side of the final home scrimmage was Danny getting chipped from 30 out. We look forward to seeing the first win of the year at home on the island. Thanks to Union for the loaners in the Richmond tie, only good can come from the partnership.

Hartwell Lake to host competition this weekend
ANDERSON - This story has been corrected from its original version.
Anderson County officials are excited about competition that will be held on Hartwell Lake this weekend.
Amateur participants from across the Southeast will compete Saturday at Devil's Fork Lake in Anderson County in water-skiing and in wakeboarding on Sunday at the Singing Pines Recreation Area. Admission is free for the event, which is part of the U.S. Championship Series Tour presented by the INT League and the World Wakeboarding Association.
"Anderson is proud to host the upcoming wakeboard tour stop — 'Wake Hartwell' — on Lake Hartwell at Singing Pines," said Anderson County Council Chairman Tom Allen said. "For too long, Hartwell has been a hidden jewel, but she is finally getting the attention she deserves."
Allen noted that a number of events have taken place on Hartwell Lake in the past three years, including a pair of high-profile fishing tournaments.
Another wakeboard competition will be held on Hartwell Lake on July 14-15 at the Elrod Ferry Recreation Area in Georgia. And the lake will be the site of a jet-skiing competition in August, said Glenn Brill, Anderson County's director of parks, recreation and tourism.
The three competitions "are certainly going to bring people here," Brill said.
Brill said spectators will enjoy watching wakeboarding competitors complete acrobatic maneuvers.
"It is a fun event to go out and see," he said.
This is the second consecutive year that the INT League has scheduled tour stops on Hartwell Lake.
"Wakeboarding is one of the most exciting sporting events on the water," said Mark Miller, director of the INT League, which was founded in 1993.
Larry Torrence, executive director of the Lake Hartwell Marketing Alliance, predicted that the wakeboarding competition "will remain a fan favorite for years to come. And the economic impact will be a positive benefit for all of us."

Ho Chi Minh City RECOMMENDATIONS See all
3 Days in Ho Chi Minh City: Suggested Itineraries
By Viator, April 2015
Day 1: Full City Tour
Ho Chi Minh City is an interesting mixture of Chinese, Vietnamese, French and modern entrepreneurial influences, and this private tour reflects that. The tour starts with an exploration of the city's turbulent past, taking in the Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum. The tour then takes in some French culture by visiting the Notre Dame Cathedral. After a traditional Vietnamese lunch, you'll swing by the Cholon Chinese district, where you can test your bargaining skills at the market.
Day 2: Mekong Delta Trip
The Mekong River which winds its way from Tibet, China, Burma, Laos, Cambodia and finally makes its way into Vietnam. For this tour you'll board a private longtail boat and journey through the delta, a hugely fertile region which Vietnam owes half of its food production to. You'll sample local tropical fruit, learn about another local industry, coconut candy, and experience rural Vietnamese life.
Day 3: Cu Chi Tunnels Tour
This tour takes you to the world of the Cu Chi freedom fighters, who created a tunnel system that runs for 200 km (12 mi) underground. These tunnels became legendary in the 1960s, during the Vietnam War, when the Viet Cong basically transformed these tunnels into functioning underground cities that allowed them to control the surrounding farmlands. Your guide will take you on a tour around the tunnels and introduce you to the hardships that these soldiers endured and the ingenuity they employed to stay alive.

Members of the Chariton Volunteer Fire Department marched from the fire station to the Chariton Cemetery in a light rain on Sunday morning. After they arrived, a short ceremony was held to honor past members at the Fire Department Memorial in the cemetery.
After the firemen arrived in the cemetery, they marched in single file and put flowers on the base of the Memorial and then stood in a half circle around it. Community of Christ Pastor Andy Gwinn gave the opening prayer and then former Chariton fireman Larry Davis spoke. Davis was with CVPD for 33 years before retiring in 2009.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
BRASELTON - The town of Braselton now has a newly drawn council map that equally distributes the number of households in each district. Under the former map, Councilman Dudley Ray, with 767 homes in District 4, represented the majority of homes in Braselton, due to the town's recent growth pattern.Braselton's districts were redrawn four years ago after the 2000 census. The city limits sprawl across four counties- Barrow, Gwinnett, Hall and Jackson- but most of the growth is taking place in Hall and Gwinnett. That uneven growth gave Councilman Dudley Ray more homes in District 4 than all three remaining districts combined. District 1 is composed of 107 homes; District 2, 119; and District 3, 138. The new district map, if accepted by a second vote, will give each district approximately 300 households apiece. Mayor Pat Graham and councilmen feared the former map might jeopardize the upcoming Nov. 8 election. It violated the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which gives each individual equal protection under the law- or one man, one vote, said Linda Meggers, former head of the Georgia Reapportionment Office, who drew the proposed map. The map will now go before the General Assembly for legislators' approval. Two council members live in Jackson County, one in Barrow and one in Gwinnett. Voters will elect a mayor and council members to represent Districts 2 and 4 on Nov. 8. In a related move, council approved a measure that requires the city manager to monitor new residential growth and advise council, prior to the 2007 election, if a new house count will be needed. Duncan Creek Road extension approved Duncan Creek Road will be extended to Legend Drive for community and emergency vehicle use only. The additional yards of pavement will cut by 50 percent travel time for fire, police and ambulances which come from Hamilton Mill to reach area residents. Duncan Creek Road is a street inside the Gwinnett County portion of The Legends, one of Chateau Elan's gated communities. Originally a dirt road, it was paved six months ago and dead-ends only a short distance from Legends Drive. The homeowners' association will pay for a siren-operated gate that opens when an emergency siren is sounded. Members appointed to Planning Commission and Board of Appeals Mayor and council announced their appointments to the Planning Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals. n Planning Commission Kathy Schieff- District 1 Alan Sloven- District 2 W.

Rating: 2 out of 5 buckets
Release Date: February 8, 2013
MPAA Rating: R
Best Age Group: 17+
Sexual Content: Moderate
Violent/Disturbing Content: Moderate
Crude or Profane Language: Excessive
Drugs and Alcohol Content: Excessive
Will Kids Like It? Yes
The real Sandy Patterson (Jason Batman) is a happily married businessman, father of two daughter's, and lives in Denver. The other Sandy Patterson, also known as Diana (Melissa McCarthy), is a single woman who likes to party, and lives in Florida; however this Sandy Patterson is a fraud. She has a credit card maker and manages to tap into strangers' accounts and spend all their money. That's what she did to the innocent, hard working man in Denver. So the adventure begins when the real Sandy Patterson travels to Florida to track down the thief that stole his identity. Identity Thief is an R rated comedy, raunchy in parts, with a kind-hearted message.
Typically, in an R rated comedy there's not much substance. However in this film there are some redeeming qualities and an emphasis on the importance of love and family. The real Sandy Patterson is a great guy. He's a loving husband and father, and always wants to do the right thing. When we first meet the other Sandy Patterson (aka Diana), she is rude, obnoxious and a thief. {Spoiler Alert} However, as the movie concludes we learn why she became a thief and what she had been missing her whole life...a family!
I thought this film was appropriately rated. Though it is an R rated film, which means that kids under 17 must be accompanied by an adult, I wanted to review it because I know many teens want to see it. With Eric Stonestreet (Cameron from Modern Family), in the film and Melissa McCarthy (from Gilmore Girls and Bridesmaids), it has a familiar cast and an entertaining plot. However, parents need to be aware of one crude and raunchy scene (see below), harsh language and excessive alcohol content.
Sexual Content: Moderate
• The thief Sandy Patterson (aka Diana), meets a guy in a bar named Big Chuck (Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family). This is a crude and raunchy scene. She tells Big Chuck that Sandy likes to watch her with other men. The couple proceeds to do some dirty dancing in a bar, then we see them in a hotel room engaging in sexual activity. We only see their heads and feet; but it's implied they're having sex by their facial expressions and loud noises.
• We see Diana taking a bubble bath; she masturbates in the tub and makes sexual noises.
• Diana tricks a police officer by telling him she has a pain in her upper thigh, he massages her butt and other body parts.
• There are also a lot of sexual references and dialogue throughout the film.
Violent/Disturbing Content: Moderate
• There are a lot of car chases and accidents. In one scene Diana's face is bloodied from a car accident.
• Sandy is bitten by a snake; Diana tires to beat the snake off with a flaming stick.
• There are several humorous fights and wrestling matches.
• A bounty hunter is shot in the neck, leaving blood all over his car window.
Crude or Profane Language: Excessive
• The f-word is said about 40 times, we also hear "sh--," "b--ch," "h--," "p--," and "d--n" throughout the film.
Drugs and Alcohol Content: Excessive
• We see Diana, in several scenes, drinking tequila shots and guzzling liquor straight from the bottle.
• Diana says, "driving drunk is okay, but driving sleepy is dangerous." Not a good thing for teens to hear!!
• Sandy takes his wife's sedatives with him on the trip. Diana discovers the pills and puts some in Big Chucks drink.
Will Kids Like It? Yes
As I previously mentioned this is an R rated movie, and compared to some other R movies such as "The Hangover," and "Bridesmaids," this film, though crude and raunchy in parts, is more appropriate. Depending on the teenager, I would say that Identity Thief is appropriate for mature teenagers.

To encourage business success, first clear your office or workplace of any clutter.
After that, check around to see if there are any objects that may be attracting bad luck to you. Look at the pictures near you - are they harmonious and attractive? If there are any pictures of turbulent water or battle scenes, remove them immediately.
Unless you enjoy clearing obstacles in your business, pictures of mountains should not be placed directly in front of where you work, or directly in front of the entrance to your work or business space. These will create an obstructive energy.
Place a picture of mountains at your back - this will encourage feelings of strength and support, and is an especially effective cure if you suffer from lower back problems at work.
Pictures that encourage success in your workplace include photographs or images in any medium of animals that are related, in feng shui, to abundance, such as fish, pheasants, phoenixes, boars, or toads.
Special money charms featuring frogs are very effective for encouraging a flow of abundance to you. The feng shui Fortune Frog can be placed just inside your office door, looking into your workplace.
You can place the Fortune Frogs on a shelf rather than on the floor. The Fortune Frog is either three-legged or sits on a pile of gold coins. He is usually gold in color and has a coin in its mouth.
If you use files in your work, keep a small cure of three feng shui coins tied into a package with red thread over a file that represents an important project.
You can also place this simple package over any documentation or book of accounts that represents the financial status of your business.
If you work with a cash register, place the package on top of the machine and place a mirror beside it to multiply the money coming to you. Placing a bell over the register will also stimulate abundant energy.
If you sit at a desk, you can make the tabletop a miniature version of your workplace-the wealth section will correspond to the top left-hand section of your desk. Place one (and only one) of the following feng shui cures in this area to stimulate good business:
If you plan to expand in the future, you have to take note of a few things.
Often, successful businesses that have thrived in one residence suffer due to an overextension of the business. For example, by adding an extension to a certain part of your building, you may be creating poison arrows that are directed straight to your sales team manager, in which case you may soon experience low morale issues from your sales force. Either move the sales team or consult a feng shui practitioner to make sure that you do not damage the energy flow of your business.
Extensions that are less than one third of the length of the building are usually beneficial to the aspiration to which that area of the building corresponds. For example, if you build an extension to your wealth area that is less than one third of the length of the existing building, you will probably find that your business will show improvement.
If a business is expanding, it is wise not to let go of the premises that brought it luck. It is thought to be most auspicious if the lucky premises are kept and extra premises are taken nearby.

I have some important news for the membership. I have decided to expand OpenFree.org by merging a much smaller forum (msforums.org) into it.
The site focuses on Microsoft products and is not very active. To this point, in recent months some forums were hijacked by spammers but I think these should be easily cleaned up.
As Linux adoption expands, users will find themselves increasingly supporting Windows. Surprisingly, there are few sites out there for Linux users who also need some Windows help.
I wondered about the possibility of incompatibilities between the two memberships. I specifically chose msforums.org because the members seemed to be conscientious, and ego free. If we maintain the fair but firm moderation stance of OpenFree.org, it should succeed well.
With the LJR merger, I remember saying "There are forum sites consisting of plantations of featureless users, and Las Vegas style sites that are a little bit of everything. OpenFree needs to be the place where Linux users can chill out and talk about Linux, or whatever else."
This remains true, but recent developments between Microsoft and Novell, even if the motives are questionable, have changed the landscape slightly. Linux users and administrators will need to talk about the challenges of Linux, its integration with Windows and the support of Windows users who don't want to or cannot convert.
The site is growing steadily, and with this move, it should remain so for the foreseeable future. I want OpenFree.org to be vibrant and relevant so that it reflects the dynamic world of operating systems.
Comments welcome.

Battle of the Books is a reading incentive program – open to any interested Madras students – which seeks to broaden students' reading interests, practice cooperative learning, increase comprehension and provide opportunities for students to speak in a public forum.
"I picked people I knew would be really good and who would represent sixth grade really well," she said.
Rogers, who reads a book each week to prepare for competition, said her favorite selections so far have been "I Thought My Soul Would Rise Up and Fly" and "The Red Pony."
In January, Rogers' group will join other sixth-grade Madras teams to begin competing for grade level champion by answering questions about their reading selections.
Sixth, seventh and eighth-grade championship teams will then compete in a three-way, lightning-style round during a school assembly to determine the All-School Grand Champion.
"It is kind of hard to go up against older students, and to know that you're probably not going to make it," Rogers said. "But it's really fun trying."
Trophies and other prizes for Battle of the Books winners will be paid for by the more than $700 participants have raised through making and selling $5 paracord bracelets at school events.

GO AUGGIE!! lol
Rob Hawes-Anchorage Rod Works-Anchorage, Alaska
I know everything I do ends up taking 10 times longer than I thought it would. Hang in there. It is coming along great! Post some more pic's when you are done working on it for the weekend.
......And I still want to be first in line for your left over 6-71 stuff when you get it all converted . Even at 5 lbs. boost it will look BITCHIN on my boat (hee hee hee).
Rob Hawes-Anchorage Rod Works-Anchorage, Alaska
Grand Nationals and such. I would not trust a O2 sensor either. Less timing and more fuel, and work your way to the middle slowly, and it should be OK.Very nice Looking Ride by the way.
Thanks for the input. Nos is getting mounted just because it's easier to do now. Will play with it after injection is tuned. Second NOS tank is actually a fake. It will have CO2 in it and be run to a "fake" purge system with led lights just for Sh*ts and giggles..... Why waist the good stuff when putting on a little "look at me, I got nitrous" show, LOL Not that I will be using it when pulling up to stage...... but if I am plumbing right now I might as well do that too.
Plus.... if I never get this thing into the 10's for some reason........ It will look cool at local shows!!! LMAO!!!!
Will update tomorrow with some plumbing pics.......
Have a great holiday!!!!
holy shiite dude you are making great headway, I have not herd from you in a whike but I was looking at the wrong thread, man you are almost there and we all can't wait, I need to read over all the work you have done (Iskiped over some of the pages) and I will get back with you tonight
plumbing begins
Ok, so it has begun...... Cutting lines, installing fittings, hoping for no leaks, lol. Mounting a test surge tank. You know.... with 4 return lines from injector hat and pump going back to surge tank, (plus the electric fuel pump feed), this should get awesome fuel mileage!!! NOT! But at least running all 4 lines to surge tank will help keep the level up for the entire trip down the track..... or so I am hoping.
I will be back at it in the morning. Just sucks that everything will be closed tomorrow so getting even nuts and bolts will be problematic!
Also, note the one pic of my blower belt. The 8-71 sits forward a good inch compared to my other. It's good enough for a start up but I had to add a third pulley to lower crank and run belt on inside/outside pulley and I just make it. I'm going to order a 6-6 1/2 inch snout so I can remove extra pulley, maybe 2, from crank and move everything back a good inch or more. I just don't like going further out creating more load on crank snout and blower bearings and I don't like running belt un centered...... Look at the pick and see for yourselves.
Thanks for the pushing words of encouragement. Would like to hear it fire before Friday. Maybe not race.... but at least start tuning the injection!!
I could swear I JUST cleaned that floor off this morning!!!! hahaha

Just out of curiosity, what distributor set up were you running with the 6-71?
Rob Hawes-Anchorage Rod Works-Anchorage, Alaska
Had the Mallory unilite with the crab cap for low clearance. I have used unilites for years and knock on wood have always had good luck. Like I said, almost did crank trigger but I would have still had to invest money in my old one to tighten it up and put bronze gear on. Plus it had no way to lock that distributor because it was from 94 and was an older model. I got the new one in and picked up a set of Taylor 409 10.4 wires and put them on. I even asked a post about those wires to see if they were any good but didn't get much input. They look like good wires and a little longer than their 8mm counter parts that I took off.
I have some blower drive pulley questions that I need to post on the tech site. I'm trying to save from buying another snout so I turned the upper pulley around and set everything back pretty nice. I want to ask for some opinions on doing what I am doing...... In my opinion it will take some load off the crank snout, it will put the top pulley over the snout bearing which is better than hanging off the end...... But I will get some of the experts advice

mo money mo money mo money
Made another trip to summit for a blower spacer that costs 81.00 and spent 1,300. I hate when that happens. Picked up a lot more fuel, nitrous, purge line fittings and gauges. Still working on mounting all the solenoids and lines and fuel pump. Ran around most of today so not much change. I am going to mount a plate off right side of blower out over valve cover so I have plenty of options for mounting them and making it look good. I cut out an aluminum plate to do the job. My machine shop/milling machine consists of a drill press and air tools. I will post a pic of the plate in raw form..... but after I clean it up and do the swirls on it with the die grinder and some 3m pads it will look pretty good. I get the aluminum cheap from a local surplus supply store and it looks rough when I start. But when done it doesn't look to bad. I did my door panels and rear panels with burger buddies and it was amazing how good it came out.
I did take the advice and get the good pyrometers that can hook into a logger box but didn't get box yet.
I also picked up a timing retard control box that is supposed to aid in starting and then you turn it up. I already have the blower boost timing box in my car. I don't know if you can use both... one to start it and preset timing while in staging lanes and then rely on boost activated box after that. Or will one do the WHOLE job better than the other? I also thought about putting a switch between the two so after starting I can flip over to the blower boost box. If anyone knows more about the difference between the two and one is better than the other please enlighten me.
Poor mans fab and milling tools!!! lol
After drilling and fitting, drilling solenoid holes, etc..... I will give it a die grinder and 2 inch swirl job that will make a world of difference!
Well tomorrow will be a busy day so I better get some sleep. Night (morning) ALL!
my 2.00 solenoid mounting plate. I will show you what it looks like fitted in place next.
Looks better than those little brackets they give ya. And more room to work with when mounting and arranging...........

When plumbing and wiring anything from ignition boxes to fuel and nos lines, it's not something that you want to be distracted from. Yet I can barely get started and someone stops in over something stupid and completely screws up my train of thought. I might as well close up shop and walk away!!!
That's what happened today while doing the mount and solenoids in the post pics above. When you are mounting 2 solenoids for nos, one for the primer on the injection system and one for purging it's not easy to keep all the wires straight and make sure a fuel or nos line doesn't get crossed. Also, it's hard enough to make sure you don't miss tightening a fuel line or pump lines........
It's just one part where I really HATE to get interrupted. Especially when I am starting to make headway.
Back at it tomorrow..........
Most of the time I am my worst interruption. Keep chugging. Looking good.
slow going
Not much to add for now. Got solenoid plate done and solenoids mounted but am finishing polishing valve covers to put back on since right side will be covered. Not looking forward to cutting hood out around injection linkage/solenoid plate but it's gotta be done. Still waiting on 1" spacer so I can button up blower drive and mount injection fuel pump. Need one in place before I can do other. That's what sucks. One small part can hold up so many other things.
HEY, TAKING SUGGESTIONS HERE....... I'm putting a mock up NOS surge system on it for the heck of it. Everyone around here keeps asking where the lighted blast will be coming from and to be honest, I'm not sure. It's a twin system with two blue LED lights so the fog will be blue (wanted red but will have to buy them at a later date). So I guess this question goes out to the younger crowd....... How about some suggestions as to where the 4ft sprays should exit? Fenders? Grill? Under by exhaust? Get creative and come up with something different. I am only doing it for sh*ts and giggles and had most everything anyway. Will use co2 because its cheap. But think of a 68 Torino with a 460 blown, injected and nos supplied engine sticking out of the hood and where would YOU exit the light/fog show???
I am serious. Give me your input. I have no scoop so that's out. But other than that come up with some ideas and throw them my way.
Lets make this part of the beast build up an interactive, all suggestions welcome (even if you say don't do it), and think outside the box so it's different from the rice burners, lol. Why not have some fun with this part!!!!!!
Hopefully by Monday I will have more pics and have gotten further. Till then, Have a great weekend!!!!
Last edited by ag460torino; 09-06-2013 at 09:29 PM. Reason: spelling
Since there will be so much sticking up outside the hood I'd make it look like it was coming off the blower somewhere or off both sides of it. It would be a nice short easy run also...
Since it's going to be C02, if you could blow it across the blower housing (without getting it into the engine) it would cool it........just thinkin' out loud lol.

In the mid-1970s, a group of thoughtful citizens came together joined by a common interest. They believed people deserved to live the best quality of life possible until the end of life. That meant having a choice in how and where they would spend those remaining months, weeks or days.

FB pics will actually work fine IF you copy the URL of the image from the "download" link on your FB album.
Hope the link helps,thats the best that i can do for now. New in town & don't know my way around the Forum just yet.
Wow, it's in great shape.
Mike Nolan got permission to wear a suit back in 2006, but for only two games of the season.
That hat is in great shape. Would look great at a Bears home game.
[QUOTE=The Wiser Hatter;1280609]That hat is in great shape. The hat is in great shape but I don't like it for what it is. I am a bears fan but that rope aint working for me. should I alter it or just try to sell it ? anyone have any info on it ? ((( HELP )))
Sell it. As I mentioned earlier, Graham over at Optimo might even be interested in a buying or trading for it. (I can see that on display at his shop or in any number of sports bars around the city.) In any event I'm sure there would be a pretty strong market for it among Bear fans. But hey, it's your hat..................
Well I took the hat over to Optimo and had them put a blue band on it and now I am not happy with how it looks so i will have them put the rope back on it so that I can sell it. =/
Yes it is more valuable to someone original than with a ribbon. That style of hat works well with a rope hat band. A german alps style of hat.

With its immense artistic and cultural heritage, Verona and its province is not just a stopping-place but well worth a visit.
First of all, visit Verona's historical centre with its unforgettable views (awarded World Heritage Site Status by U.N.E.S.C.O.) and the clear waters and adjacent olive groves of Lake Garda ,,,,,,, just a few kilometres away.
Then take a trip right up to Monte Baldo, known as the "Garden of Europe" at a height of 2200m, or to the lush vine-yards of the Valpolicella and its villas.
Last but not least, go up to the Regional Nature Park of Lessinia with its woods, "malghe" (traditional cow-sheds), snowy peaks, interesting geological features and prehistoric archaeological sites and, covering a few more kilometers, reach the Eastern Section of the Province with its towns encircles by austere fortifications, medieval castles and splendid villas.

Beef Wellington
in Cabernet Sauvignon Sauce
Yield: 6 Servings
Wine Pairing: 2007 ARTEMIS Cabernet Sauvignon
Beef Wellington in Cabernet Sauvignon Sauce
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season filets with salt and pepper then sear 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, wine, and beef consommé, stirring until mushrooms are tender. Transfer the mushrooms to a separate bowl, reserving the liquid. Blend the paté and mushrooms, adding enough of the reserved liquid - about ½ cup - to make it spreadable. Equally divide the mushrooms and put on top of each filet. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°. Roll the puff pastry onto a clean surface and cut out two 5-to 6 inch rounds for each filet. Place each steak onto a round, and cover the top with a second piece of dough, overlapping the edges and pressing to seal. Place onto a baking sheet, brushing the tops with beaten egg. Bake 12 minutes for rare, 16 minutes for medium. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
While steaks are cooking, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly, until browned. Add the rest of the reserved liquid and continue to stir until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of wine. Continue to simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in butter and parsley.
Place each Beef Wellington in the center of the plate and spoon the sauce over top and around the base. Suggested side dish: Yukon Gold and parsnip mashed potatoes and green beans.
2 tablespoon virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
6 six-ounce beef tenderloin filets
1 cup fresh mushrooms, chopped
1/4 cup red wine
1 cup beef broth or consommé
1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
3 ounces foie gras (or other liver paté)
1 egg, beaten
5 tablespoons, unsalted butter
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
3 tablespoon all-ourpose flour
1 cup, beef broth or consommé
1 cup, red wine
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

The Consequences Of Failed ECM ImplementationSource: iDatix
IT projects are notorious for having low success rates without proper project management. Some of the best software products in the world have failed to meet clients' expectations because the salesperson set unrealistic expectancies or the implementation time was shortened in order to meet a magic budget number. Only 32% of all projects succeeded with on time delivery, within budget, and with required features and functions, according to a 2009 study. While this number is not all that surprising to experienced IT professionals, the success rate is astonishing to most executives-and it should be. This is equivalent to a 68% failure rate — an unacceptable percentage in almost all other aspects of business. Could you imagine a 32% success rate with car manufacturing, refrigerator operation, or worst case — shuttle development?
After being in the ECM industry for over 10 years, and overseeing hundreds of implementations, we have found that success is typically not based on the technology. According to a study on aiim.org, research has shown that the most common reasons for ECM failures are due to:
- Underestimating the impact on business processes and organizational structure
- Improperly trained users
- Project derailment by internal politics
- No implementation of adequate governance processes
Evaluating these causes, you will notice that none of them actually deal with technology! The issues arise from the process of implementing the technology and the manner in which you enable users to utilize the system. A proper ECM system must be developed in coordination with the intended user audience.

Thanks everyone for you comments, it was good to go to an EPZ meet again. Yes Fran, I do remember and I am so pleased you are still here and still keen. There have been big changes in my life, mostly by becoming a Born Again Christian...... after well over 6 decades as a non believer !!!! I am experiencing a new life and a new joy in life and despite being retired I am now busier than I have ever been. One slight downside of that is there are not enough hours in the day to be here on EPZ as much as I would like. God be with you, Bill XX
