Efficiency upgrades that make sense
By Brian Sloboda
Surveys show that only about 15 percent of folks actually take steps to enhance the energy efficiency of their home. In most cases, people feel that energy efficiency improvements are too complicated or too expensive to tackle.
However, there are several simple upgrades you can consider that won't break your household budget. Following are a few:
Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) may look odd, but more and more homeowners are installing these energy-efficient lights. One CFL uses about 75 percent less energy and can save more than $40 over its lifetime than a traditional incandescent lightbulb, according to estimates by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR program. Some people do not like CFLs because of their color or quality of the light, but CFLs have improved since they were first introduced. In most lamps and fixtures, you probably won't notice a difference using a CFL.
Heating and Air Conditioning
The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that heating and air conditioning account for 22 percent of a typical home's annual electric bill. While an air-source heat pump or a geothermal heat pump can be 20 percent to 45 percent more efficient than an existing central heating and cooling system, up-front installation costs are often a barrier.
Simple solutions such as changing air filters at least every three months will increase airflow to rooms, increase the life of your central heating and cooling unit's motor, and improve air quality. Sealing and insulating ductwork can be done in a weekend and result in energy savings of up to 20 percent.
To lessen the amount of work that heating and cooling systems need to do, it's important to find and fix air leaks. Walk around your house on a cold day and feel for drafts around exterior doors and windows, electric outlets, and entrance points for TV and telephone cables. In basements, target dryer vents, natural gas lines, or any opening in the wall. To fix leaks, apply caulk, spray foam, or weather stripping.
Simple acts such as cooking outdoors on a hot summer day and drawing curtains closed to block the summer sun will keep the interior of your home cooler and reduce the amount of time your air conditoning units need to operate.
Appliances and Electronics
Gadgets and equipment that make life easier are also some of the largest electric users in our homes. When buying a new appliance, look for the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR products will use 10 percent to 15 percent less energy than non-certified items. Some states have even adopted ENERGY STAR holidays during which sales tax is waived on the purchase of qualifying ENRGY STAR-rated appliances.
To keep appliances running more efficiently, try these tips:
• Clean lint traps on dryers and don't over-dry clothes.
• Replace worn refrigerator door gaskets to stop cool air from seeping out.
• Clean refrigerator coils and keep refrigerators away from heat-generating appliances such as an oven.
Many home electronics, like computers, TVs, and DVD players, consume power even when turned off. Called "vampire" or "phantom" load, the average home loses 8 percent of its monthly energy consumption to these devices. In fact, a full 75 percent of the power used to run home electronics is consumed when they're turned off, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Plugging these items into a power strip or a smart strip and turning off the strip when not in use remains the best way to stop this loss of energy.
Other Ideas
The best energy efficiency improvements are often the easiest, such as turning lights off when leaving a room, sealing windows and doors, and cleaning refrigerator coils.
To measure the success of any energy efficiency upgrades, big or small, first look at the payback period — the amount of time it takes for the improvement to pay for itself. Then consider your home's comfort level. Check whether fixes you've made keep room temperatures level and if fewer drafts are found around doors, windows, and other openings like vents or outlets.

BOULDER — The definition of "arrival" for a men's basketball program is vague, but a good indicator is when a team sells out its season tickets in the preseason for the first time.
Colorado sold out all 7,160 season tickets for men's basketball, as well as single-game tickets for the Kansas, UCLA, Arizona and Oregon games. Only a few hundred single-game tickets are left for other home games.
"It's a testament to our fans. It's a testament to our students, to our C-Unit (members) who come night in and night out," said coach Tad Boyle. "I want everybody to know I'm appreciative of that. We are not going to take that for granted."
The Coors Events Center has 11,064 seats, with 2,700 reserved for students who are turning the 34-year-old arena into a snakepit for visiting teams. The Buffaloes went 21-12 last season, including 12-3 at home. They averaged a school- record 10,486 fans per home game.
"When this place is rocking and our fans are engaged and our players are feeding off that energy, this place is as good as any in the country," said Boyle, a Kansas graduate. "Our challenge now is to get it like that every night."
The Buffs begin their season Nov. 8 against Baylor in Dallas and open their home schedule at 4 p.m. Nov. 10 against Tennessee-Martin.
For remaining single-game tickets ($20 to $65), check the CU website (cubuffs.com) or call the ticket office (303-492-8337).

Trim Plywood Edging Flush, Simply and Safelycomments (8) May 10th, 2012 in blogs
If you've ever tried to flush trim hardwood edging on plywood shelves using a handheld router, you know how dicey a proposition that can be. The router's base needs to balance atop an edging that's just a bit more than 3/4-in. wide. Ever try to balance an elephant on a teacup? Alright, that may be an extreme metaphor, but you get the idea.
Fine Woodworking reader Roland Mattison's recent tip, published in FWW #226, solves this problem by taking the work to the router. His router table approach is faster, safer, and more precise.
Along the bottom edge of an auxiliary fence, Mattison cuts a shallow rabbet that is slightly wider than the thickness of the edging he wants to trim. Then it's simply a matter of notching out for a flush trim bit and mounting the auxiliary fence to the router table. Just be sure to align the face of the fence with the cutting edge of the flush trimming bit.
To make the cut, firmly hold the plywood panel vertically against the fence, so that the excess edging fits neatly into the rabbet. Turn on the router, push it on through, and voila!

I've also found that bits with a 1/2" shank chatter much less than 1/4" bit, resulting in fewer issues all around.
The probability of tilt (and the resulting divots that can occur) can be reduced by creating a taller fence (or auxiliary fence) I created a tall fence (about 9-10") just for this task. The larger surface makes loss of control less likely.

Hi all,
I had OV pains tues which was cd14, normal for me, but now cd 17 i've been having slight cramping. do any of you know if its too early for implantation cramps? ive tried googling it but they mostly say 7-10 days after OV. but as each pregnancy is different i was wondering if anyone has heard of having them earlier or experienced it?
Laura xx
Hi Laura, I have been having cramps since 4dpo and its driving me mad - feel like AF is on the way already! I dont know if its implantation or not!
Charlie x
oh good, thought i was on my own! started to think it was all in my head! how long you been trying? we're in our second cycle. have a little girl already age 2 and half. unexpected suprise, so im new to this ttc thing! x
Hi Laura, I have 2 little boys and now trying for no 3, had mc in September and been trying since then, it is driving me insane!!!! xx
sorry to hear that. can't imagine how it feels but glad your staying positive!
its so strange how our bodies play tricks on us, i had early symptoms last month and thought i definetly was, but BFN.
so im reluctant to put any faith into any symptoms i do get this time. hate the dissapointment when its a negative. when are you due? im 4th feb!!!! its going to seem like forever to get there!
Laura x
Hi Can I join! I have little girl age 2 and always wanted to wait for number 2 but last couple of months been thinking about families and how i would be so nice for her to grow up with a sibling so can't get it out of my head now and getting so excited! This is my 1 st month ttc and on cd14,Although I tend to fall quickly I always worry once I do as I have four mc;s and the falling bit seems to be easy for me just the few eeeks after that a scary but just have to wait and see..... So beed bd'ing all week! Have to say i'm needing a rest now though!! jus hope baby dust has been spread and got to wait until 5 th Feb to find out i suppose!! Good Luck girls!
Laura : I'm due day after so could be cycle buddies! feels like such a long time to wait doesn't it!! is it around now we are most fertile, thas what i thought but I suppose everyone is different!
well i have a 28 day cycle so i OV'd tues, had cramps all night. we BD'd Fri Sat Sun Mon and Wed. by tues DH wasn't in the mood! which i was very angry about but then i thought thats silly, i can understand it was becoming a bit of a chore. there were plenty of little swimmers waiting for tues also weds was just for luck so fingers crossed.
how longs your cycle? im trying not to think about it so the 4th comes round quicker!!! lol
laura x
Yeah I have a 28 day cycle too, possible 29! never reall paid that much attention to it until now, so don't know when i ovulate? everyone is different I think and I havent used ovulation tests as yet, we bd sun, mon, tues,wed and last night but giving tonight a miss, It does feel like a chore after a while! DH is very happy but wishes I would be more romantic rather than using him!! ha ha see wha he means though! I have my Driving test on Tuesday so really nervous about that but then i suppose It will take my mind of things!
In my book I am reading it says yesterday was my most biggest chance to conceive?? Do you know when yours was? I get all confused with the whole ov and when you should be bd'ing!
oh really! GOOD LUCK!
You should be ok then hun, got it covered, every night this week.
I dont use those OV kits either, dont need to really, i feel it every month. I think you OV in the middle of your cycle so for us would be the 14th cycle day. but i could be wrong. so confusing.
Let me know how the driving test goes!!

it seems either way I disable the Wi Fi by the 'switch' itself or 'Airplane' mode it is a pain to get it on and have to manually 'disable the entire WiFi and then enable it joggin the WiFi off and on til it seems to catch on I am trying to turn it back on. I am only trying to turn it off to save battery right now but is this normal? Will a fix be forth coming because i'ts a pain right now.
Hi Guys
Thank you for your replies. I did update to Bios 4.
The symptom is that if I turn either the wifi off, or airplane mode on, then set it to sleep for a few minutes, the wifi does not toggle back on. Airplane can be turned off, but the wifi stays off unless, like Lou mentioned earlier, I disable then enable the device, or restart the tablet.
Argghh. It's not a huge issue in the greater scheme of things, but it is an energy saving convenience that should be elementary in any device these days.
Has using Airplane Mode even made a big difference in your battery life? When not in use, the WiFi should go into a low power state anyway. Unless you're seeing something like 30% more battery, why even toggle it in everyday use?
1st-off, Venue tabs are different from others; they can/will completely drain their batteries rather quickly during sleep, when moved out-of-range from their WiFi connection; once flattened, the battery will require several minutes (~ half-hour) before it re-acquires sufficient beans to boot again. Even worse, some Venue owners have reported their batteries won't accept a charge after being run-flat.
2nd, every rechargable battery has a finite number of charges built into its design; even user-replaceable Li-ion batteries like used in the Venue 11, are very expensive & all batteries consume increasing amounts of electricity to recharge them, as they approach end-of-life.
So, why be wasteful — even if you can afford to be? Shame on Dell, for not employing easy tweaks to make their tablets 'greener' and not fixing the 'green' tweaks (like ambient light sensor) which have to be disabled by users because they still don't work properly...
Yeah, I'm with Lou on this one. Were all here to optimize our devices. But I wouldn't even call this optimization - it seems so basic. Having wifi when you need it. Not having it when you don't.
Anyone out there?
I have been reading the issues. I do NOT work for Dell.
If memory serves me correctly, there were issues a long time ago on another system. Can someone also provide me with the adapter used. Can someone try this?
How to start Wireless Zero Configuration using Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8
I'd prefer if only 1 person volunteered to try this and post back their results. There were either Audio or Video drivers(pretty sure it was Audio) that caused connection problems.
Download the Audio drivers and save them to your desktop.
Make a system restore point.
Uninstall the Realtek drivers, then restart the system.
Can you connect? Is the connection stable?
Check for any Windows updates?
Then make another restore point.
Install the Realtek Audio drivers. Can you connect? Is the connection stable?

Here is how I now have a solid and fast connection after going through 3 tablets (to see if was a hardware version issue):
So after all that I was only able to get 2Mbps down and 150Kb up -- not great but at least it was consistent. So, I pulled out my older router (Netgear WNDR3300) and connected it to the existing router, configured a new gateway address and turned on the 5GHz WiFi (only) for the old box. Bingo. I am now getting 30Mbps down and 10Mbps Up (wired I am 50/15 down/up).
This one is now a keeper.
Hope this helps -
sorry...glad you figured it out...but no thanks.
Is it a Dell or a Windows problem? When I had the same problem I deleted Office to get enough disk space to do a Partial System Recovery. It then was fixed. I don't know if the two items were related (low disk space)?
So I was able to solve my network disconnect issue, which I thought was a driver problem, by connecting my tablet to several other wireless networks - one at a time - as a test. It turns out that the majority of my connection problems were because of my wireless router - even though none of my other computers or devices were having issues. Since replacing the router with a (much newer) wireless access point, I haven't had a single problem. My router was 7 years old, and I bought it right as wireless N was coming out.
Are people from DELL even reading here? Anyway... wanted to share my frustration. To sum it up short: my Venue 8 PRO mostly always had bsod and reboots coming back from standby and also WIFI problems all the time. To fix this I had to deinstall both KB2887595 and KB2903939 and do NOT reinstall them, like people always suggested (because they were installed in the wrong order). The moment the two updates were gone, enerything worked again, no bsods anymore. The moment I installed them again, everything broke up in disaster.
Still: I cant get n mode to work with the Venue 8 Pro. I have to use 802.11bg, otherwise the connection becomes unstable or inactive after a short periode. I have a Netgear WNDR3800 too, and it's not a router issue, it is a driver issue on the client. My ASUS Zenbook UX31A had the same problems with it's INTEL WIFI card, and Intel never was able to solve them. The only solution to this problem was using the Microsoft driver, which works great. Sadly there are no Microsoft drivers for the Dell WIFI card being used in the Venue 8 Pro...
...To fix this I had to deinstall both KB2887595 and KB2903939 and do NOT reinstall them, like people always suggested (because they were installed in the wrong order).

You left a step out (or a least you didn't mention that you did it).
Before reinstalling KB2887595 and KB2903939, you need to install KB 2883200
Also restart after installing each update.
I bought my tablet after Microsoft fixed the problem, so I didn't have any issues after the updates were automatically installed.
Reference: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/dell-venue-pro-loses-wireless-connection-after/bc8a1426-fdb8-466d-b074-c80a06e70d76
Nope. I didnt. Removed KB2883200 and installed it too, doesnt change anything. The moment KB2887595 and KB2903939 are installed, the Venue is unusable anymore (bsod out of standbys and wifi connectivity).
"I bought my tablet after Microsoft fixed the problem, so I didn't have any issues after the updates were automatically installed."
I bought mine just a few days ago (11.01.2014), and the """fix""" was made mid December to the "update store", so I would have been good with the updates like you, right? Wrong.
Hi Folks;
Remember that today is Patch Tuesday so these problems may be made better or worse when you update.
I have some WiFi issues on my Surface Pro (1) with specific access points, but it works 100% with others.
On a different topic - be careful charging your Dell Venue Pro's - one wrong connection and it can break. Check out http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/4586/p/19533276/20500887.aspx#20500887 for peoples comments.

AUXVASSE — A local church is hoping a night of entertainment will help feed area school children this year.
On Sept. 6, Auxvasse Christian Church will host an "Old Time Radio Show" readers theater to raise money for the Buddy Pack program in Callaway County.
Pastor Alan Bailey, who lives in Jefferson City, said he has been involved in a reader's theater there, and the success of those events was the inspiration for the fundraiser.
Bailey said attendees will get to "experience what it was like to sit in a radio studio in the '30s and '40s."
The performance will include readings of half-hour episodes of four different shows: comedies "Life of Riley" and "Blondie" and mysteries "Inner Sanctum" and "The Whistler" — which Bailey, a fan of classic radio, said is his favorite show.
The majority of the cast will be from the productions in Jefferson City, but Bailey said there will be a few Callaway participants as well.
Bailey said he is looking forward to the reaction from the crowd — especially the older members of the audience who grew up listening to the radio serials.
"I love when I can look into the audience when they close their eyes and are thinking back to when they were a kid sitting by the radio," he said.
The doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with the performance set to start at 7 p.m. There will also be raffles and a silent auction. There is no set amount for the donation to get in.
"I'd like people to give as much as they can to help those children be fed," Bailey said.
According Bill Nigus, who coordinates the Buddy Pack program for Callaway County that sends school-age children home with a backpack of food to get through the weekend, the support will be welcome.
Nigus said 280 students participated in Buddy Pack last year, and at least that many are expected again for the 2014-15 school year. The annual cost per student is $180. Nigus said the fundraising goal for this year is $50,000, which needs to be raised by October. He said as of the most recent estimate, $20,000 is still needed to make that goal.
Although most of the food sent home in the Buddy Packs is bought from the Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri, Nigus said the local chapter does supplement that through local contributions — particularly during the holidays.
This year, he said, they plan to go back to doing peanut butter drives. Peanut butter is typically the most expensive item included in the packs.Anyone interested in contributing to the Buddy Pack program can donate at any of the Callaway County branches of Central Bank, The Callaway Bank, United Security Bank or Bank Star One. Donations can also be made online at www.sharefoodbringhope.org.
Nigus, who is also a school bus driver, said the motivation to support the Buddy Pack program is often painfully obvious.
"When I have a student coming on the bus and making a statement like, 'I get to eat this weekend,' that is why I do it," Nigus said. "We need to make sure this program happens in the county because kids need to eat."

New workout music to rev you up
Got an e-mail from reader Staci today asking:
When are we going to get some new songs suggestions that will keep me pumped up during my workout??!!
Great question! I am sensing that 4 Minutes to Save the World, by Madonna and Justin Timberlake will be a favorite of mine. It has a great beat and I can sweat to it. Also I like the title -- "4 minutes to save the world" ... or my heart or my butt.
Anybody have a new workout favorite?

The State Board of Elections says it will not weigh in on the decision on where students at Appalachian State University can cast ballots.
The Winston-Salem Journal reports that executive director Kim Strach told the Watauga County Board of Elections that she will not approve or disapprove the move, saying that her office does not have a role to play in the matter.
Strach wrote that the state board's only role in the matter is to determine whether it is accessible to disabled voters. She said that since the site satisfies the requirements for accessibility, the board has no authority to take any further action.
Strach has also raised concerns about the new site, saying a local official told the board that the area is prone to flooding.

Get Out!
placing identification tags on their wings. Tagging kits (with easy-to-follow instructions) can be ordered from www.monarchwatch.org.
Climb a tree. Role play. Doesn't that downed tree look like a pirate ship? Could the animal trail leading into the woods be the path to a lost city? Maybe that hole in a tree leads to the castle of a fairy princess. Set the stage and let your child's imagination run wild. Be sure to join in the fun—after all, someone needs to be the evil pirate king.
Go dove hunting. For entry-level practice in the art of wing-shooting, take older kids dove hunting. The only gear required is a shotgun, shells and some camouflage clothing. For regulations, season dates and hunting tips, visit the hunting page listed below.
Round up a rainbow. Take your kids on a hike in mid-October to witness Missouri's trees at their showiest. Challenge them to collect a leaf of every color in the rainbow.
Bag some bushytails. Squirrel hunting provides hours of fun and is a cheap gateway for your kids to the sport of hunting. Regulation information, season dates and tips on cleaning squirrels can be found on the hunting page at www.MissouriConservation.org/7604.
Float leaves or sticks down a stream. Create some cordage. Milkweed pods pop open this month. Let your children scatter the fluffy seeds in the wind, then use the milkweed stems to make cordage for bracelets.
Host a weenie roast. October is the perfect month to build a bonfire and let your kids roast hotdogs and marshmallows. Older kids can gather wood and build the fire, learning an important survival skill in the process.
Feed the birds. Help your kids coat pine cones with peanut butter, roll them in birdseed and tie a string to their stalk. Hang up these "all natural" bird feeders, and in no time, flocks of cardinals, chickadees and nuthatches will arrive for a feast.
Rake leaves into a pile for your kids to jump in. Get starry-eyed. Dry fall air is a boon to stargazing. Head outside with your kids on a crisp, clear night, take along a star chart from the link listed below, and behold the Milky Way in all its splendor. If you have a laser pointer, use it to point out constellations to your children.
Sculpt some snow. Snowmen are great, but if the snow packs well, don't stop there—with enough imagination, your kids can sculpt a whole menagerie of creatures. Let them

The well-known, well respected award-winning Monahan has announced he will retire after this year's election season, but his employer is not quite letting him go altogether.
"He will still be doing some political coverage work with us after taking a nice vacation," said station head David Doebler.
Monahan has spent decades as a journalist, first on radio at stations in Massachusetts and ultimately joining WVIT about 45 years ago.
"I couldn't be leaving after a better election year," Monahan said.
Best know as a political reporter who has covered hundreds of campaigns and elections as well as providing bipartisan analysis,, Monahan also hosts a weekly political show called "Connecticut Newsmakers."
But his career has also included covering major stories ranging from storms and sports to murders and social issues.
His Emmy-award winning stories include his coverage in the early 80s of the Steven Wood homicide trial and a series on drunken driving.
Among the major news stories he broke included Al Gore choosing Senator Joe Lieberman as his vice presidential running mate, news that the New England Patriots were coming to and then leaving Hartford, and the story that the Whalers National Hockey League team was leaving Hartford.
Monahan says his last day is Nov. 19. When asked if he'd be staying on part time he said, "You kinda have to be weaned off a job like this."
We wish him good health, a happy semi-retirement and a never-to-be-forgotten election season this year!

Questions about my new Pleco!
I bought a pleco today. Not sure what kind, however. He's supposed to get up to 18 inches. He's black like the common ones. I was just wondering how fast he is going to grow. I have some African cichlids that will soon be in my new 60 gallon tank, and I want to put the pleco in there when he big enough to hold his own.
You did not say how big it is now. But asuming it is 2-3 inches now it should be fine with your Africans. They do not bother other spices so much. They may check it out but I think he is good to go.
He's small, maybe an inch and a half or two. I have him with a Dalmation Molly and Cherry Barb. He's on algae patrol currently lol. How quickly will he grow though?
If it is a larger type it should grow a couple inches a year. Feed him algae wafers too.
awe little baby <3
i remember when my bristlenose was that little...he's already like 4 inches long!
I did get him some wafers, is it cruel to wait a couple days to feed him one though? He's been moving all over the tank walls in just the few hours that I've had him. An really? The only grow a couple inches a year?? Wow.

ODDS and ends
Yes, it's true: LAX security personnel detained film and television director Mike Figgis ("Leaving Las Vegas") this week when he told them he had come to the airport to "shoot a pilot." Of course, it could have been worse. He could patted his camera bag, shot them a wink, and added, "I hope it's not a bomb."
It seems as if everyone in the universe has an explanation for why Miss USA got booed this week at the Miss Universe shindig in Mexico City. Reasons included: 1. She didn't speak Spanish early on in the show; 2. She fell making an entrance; 3. Last year's Taco Bell closings; and 4. U.S. policy on immigration.
We can probably rule out the last one, though, since there is no U.S. policy on immigration.
New Jersey Republicans spent $5000 apiece to have their pictures taken with Pres. Bush during his visit to Edison yesterday. The rest of us stayed home and used Photoshop.

A plane carrying a wing walker crashed at the Dayton Air Show in Dayton, Ohio, June 22, 2013. (Credit: WHIO-TV)
Authorities say a plane carrying a wing walker has crashed at an Ohio air show, killing the pilot and stunt walker.
Dayton International Airport spokeswoman Linda Hughes and Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Anne Ralston confirmed the deaths to The Associated Press on Saturday.
The crash happened early Saturday afternoon at the Vectren Air Show near Dayton. No spectators were injured.
The show has been canceled for the remainder of the day. The names of those killed weren't released immediately.
A schedule posted on the event's website had Jane Wicker scheduled to perform.
A video posted on WHIO-TV shows the plane turn upside-down as Wicker sits on top of the wing. The plane then tilts and crashes to the ground, exploding into flames as spectators scream.

The Vampire Diaries: Elena writes tragedies, not sins
Let's see, there are angry werewolves out for blood out there. It's a perfect time to make out!
Silly Weres, tricks are for vamps! What were the weres thinking on this week's ep of The Vampire Diaries? Did they learn nothing from last week's ep? We're sort of baffled that they could lose easily half of their number battling the vamps the night prior, but then think it's an awesome idea to take them on and kidnap Elena to boot. Not very bright. Not at all.
What we did like was the spelling out of the curse to refresh our memories without invoking Mayan gods or whatever the back story was. If the weres break the curse, they can change at will. If the vamps break the curse, they can walk in daylight.
What is the big deal with that, anyway? All you need to walk around in the daylight is a garish ring and a witch. Lot less trouble than this breaking of the curse shenanigans.
So the brothers split up for the weekend, Damon staying in Mystic Falls, and Stefan going to the lake house with Elena. Not necessarily the wisest move without confirming that the angry, revenge-seeking weres had vacated town. But fine, we'll roll with it. There sure was a lot of Hallmark moment-making up at the cabin prior to being interrupted by Tyler and the Wolf.
Meanwhile, back in Mystic Falls, Bonnie, Jeremy and Caroline were keeping themselves busy by dosing Luka with a witch roofie (kudos to Jeremy for delivering that line awesomely!) and then forcing him to tell them what they wanted to know about Elijah, why they were helping him, and what the deal with Elena is. Oh, good news! Elena just has to be sacrificed! Woop woop! Are we the only ones who were clear that Elena's deal with Elijah meant that she would have to give the ultimate gift at the end of the deal? Hmmm? How everyone is surprised by this just baffles us.
You know we don't relish making parallels between our beloved Mystic Falls characters and the ones who live in Forks, but this human self-sacrifice martyrdom from our female protagonist is just so apparent. We're with Stefan on being a little terse with Elena over her martyr complex. It's not attractive, Elena.
But we get ahead of ourselves. Back at the Salvatore family home, Damon and Alaric get ambushed, and the weres would have killed Ric if he didn't have his fancy ring on. They bound Damon up with a decidedly torturous contraption of chains and wood (stuck into Damon's neck quite symmetrically, we have to say). Elijah had to come and save the day. Which he did by taking the hearts of three of the werewolves while Jules escaped and the hipster wolf cowered.
Taking a divide-and-conquer strategy, Mr. Angry Wolf and Tyler showed up at the lake house with the intent to kill Stefan and to kidnap Elena. Luckily for our couple, Tyler had a change of heart about helping his new friend when he found out that the reason they were taking Elena was that she would have to be killed to break the curse.
And our favorite moment of the ep? When, after Caroline left to take Luka back to the the Mystic Grill, Bonnie and Jeremy FINALLY had a big breakthrough with a fantastic kiss. It's about time, y'all!

We were actually getting worried and we were certainly getting tired, but last night helped renew our faith — our faith that the Minnesota Vikings and their fucktard fans still suck.
We were worried because the pond scum of the NFL had actually gotten off to a 5-2 start, while the Packers were sitting at 4-3. I mean, what is this, Bizarro World?
We were getting tired because Hormel Chili-eating sloths with single-digit IQs wearing sheep-fucker Jared Allen jerseys were coming out of the woodwork offering up their ignorant opinions about how the Vikings are back and are going to kick the Green Bay Packers ass this year.
Then the Vikings went out and got thumped by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 36-17, at home no less, on Thursday night football. They've now dropped two of their last three.
Oh, and the aforementioned sheep fucker also got into a fight, which is what most of the meatheads in Minneapolis where doing last night… at least the ones who weren't beating their wives.
So here's to another Minnesota Vikings loss. We hope there are many more yet to come!
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
man just goes to show far you packer fans have a stick stuck up your holes. keep talking guys. we will see you soon.
We will see you soon?
Is that suppose to be a good thing for you? I love how your defense comes out and admits they specifically key on certain "playmakers" which leaves them vulnerable to other areas (ie the running game). You were so damn busy about triple teaming Vincent Jackson last night and playing Harrison Smith 45 yards deep you forgot that Doug Martin actually knows how to run with a football and that Mike Williams is capable of burning the shit out of your weak ass cornerbacks.
Question warshire – who are you going to key on in a few weeks when you limp into Lambeau? Cook's out, your defense has been exposed by LaRod Steven Howling and now Martin. Your going to go into Seattle and get your ass kicked, Detroit will take care of you too. But hey, it's all fine and good b/c you purple faggots lucked out and beat SF…..well even the sun shines on a dogs ass someday. Just remember one thing, how many Super Bowl titles you got? Don't come on a GB Packer site running your fucking mouth when you have nothing to back it up.
Your QB is AWFUL, your offense revolves around two players, your talented TE isn't even involved in the passing attack. Your defense is a joke, Cook is out, and up until this point you've played no good offenses — and the ones you actually did manage to beat were all led by rookie QB's. Congrats — tough accomplishment taking it to JAX, TENN and AZ — keep grinding out those tough wins.
GB, Chicago, Seattle and Houston are going to kick your ass. Good thing for you, you don't gotta play the Giants, otherwise they'd fucking destroy you to.
Stay off Packer sites until you actually win a title in that pathetic town.
MN sports fans in general absolutely suck. They are so fucking clueless and stupid it's unbelievable. Since everyone in MN lives in a god damn bubble, it'd be epiphany if anyone in that city actually realized how stacked the NFC is this year and to think (TO DREAM) about that team making the playoffs is absurd.
Christian Ponder is borderline benchable (HE GOT BENCHED LAST YEAR!). There's no passing attack, which means that team is not built to come from behind (proven last night), especially when your best and only player is a RB (oops he fumbled again last night and probably cost you the game), but moreso that defense is a joke.
How in the fuck are you going to stop Rodgers and this GB offense in a few weeks? How — someone tell me? In Lambeau no less? You going to play Harrison Smith 75 yards deep this time? Triple cover Jordy and leave Randal Cobb 1-on-1 with Jared Allen or Chad Greenway (whoo?), white trash Allen is a perfect example of white trash MN people. Some dumb hick who gets into a fight cause he gets his ass beat on the play before.
Just always remember Tracy Porters pick and him doing the wrangle 'em up Jared in the vikings fucking face!!! Greatest moment EVER! Favre throws pick and Porter "wrangled 'em up!!" HAHAHA, fucking awesome. 0-4 in Super Bowls, all that needs to be said.
packattack im not shooting my mouth off.You are. you suffer from a supreme lack in ability to show any form of wit or intelligence. You just spout random hate and a false sense on intitlement. your team is too banged up. ypu barely beat the jags today without MJD. if you think your pathic excuss for a team is going to win the sb you are sadly mistaken. it took a.blown pass inter. call just to get a win on the worst team in the nfl. keep talking packers we will see you soon.
The Packers were leading by 6 at the time of that pass interference call, so, not sure how you figure that it took that call to get a win.
The Packers led the entire game.
After getting crushed by the Bucs, I would be looking forward too, even if that "looking forward" was to an ass-whipping from a team superior to the Bucs.
it won the game because the packers defence fell apart yet again.rodgers looked lost and flustered all day. you barely beat the worst team in the nfl. and yet here we are. packers still thinking all offence will win every game. go ahead children keep talking. the panic in your words show your fear. vikings are still growing. packers peaked a while ago you guys wont get anywhere near the sb. and the best part is. you know it too.
Mr. Warshire,
"intitlement" is spelled entitlement & "pathic" is spelled pathetic! I thought you should be aware given your tirade about wit & intelligence. I wish to apologize on behalf of my Packer cohorts. They sometimes forget, in their zealousness, that it is inappropriate to verbally scold the mentally handicapped. Personally, I like guys like you & DD coming to this site. It creates competitive shit-talking & I like that! I understand your limitations & corresponding need to validate the Vikings identity crisis. Denial is a powerful mechanism & it is said, admission is the first step in recovery. We, as Packer fans, will be happy to guide you, & DD, in your 12 step journey to complete acknowledgement of Viking ineptitude! This is critical to recovery success, for it is only thru acceptance that the Vikings are, & always have been, complete garbage can you truly become free!!!!


text: Home Culture Ethnic-Studies Classes Now Illegal in Arizona One Tucson school district says that it will fight the new law. By: Erin E. Evans Posted: Jan. 5 2011 4:21 PM 0 Public school classes in Arizona has been completely whitewashed, now that 2011 has arrived. The ban on ethnic-studies classes has been in effect since Jan. 1. From the Christian Science Monitor: The law bans classes that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government or resentment toward a race or class of people. Also outlawed are courses designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group and those that advocate ethnic solidarity rather than treat students as individuals. One Tucson school district vows to keep classes based on Mexican-American history. But school officials have only 60 days to comply with the new law before they face funding cuts.

Tours and cruises added to cater for demand
8th April 2013
Grand UK Holidays has added more than a dozen new holidays to its range, to cater for growing demand from 'gallivanting grandparents'.
The new escorted tours and cruises are in addition to the 40+ fresh tour options which were unveiled in its summer 2013 brochure.
Sales director Harold Burke said: "I was at the Best of Britain & Ireland (BoBI) annual trade show in Birmingham recently, and was impressed by the very positive outlook for the industry this year.
"It reflects our experience here at Grand UK where we are regularly adding new tours to our range because of the buoyant demand from the over-55s market.
"Our bookings also mirror the recent research by TravelSupermarket which shows that those aged 60-69 were the biggest spenders on holidays.
"They're closely followed by those in their 50s, and those in their 70s – dubbed 'gallivanting grandparents' by TravelSupermarket!"
The new holidays are featured on www.grandukholidays.com and include 'singles specials' to Cardiff, the Cotswolds and Yorkshire; plus 'Supersavers' to Scotland, East coast, Northumberland, the North West, the Midlands and Yorkshire. Prices are from £209pp for five days.
There are also new cruises to see the fjords and an Austrian coach tour for solo travellers.
Harold said adding fresh holidays on the website means Grand UK can respond to booking trends and take advantage of good deals to pass onto customers.
"We are seeing growing demand for solos holidays, and people also like to bag a bargain, as they can get away on a whim without worrying about work – so we've added to our singles and supersavers ranges to cater for this," he said.
He added: "The message from BoBI is that the domestic market is buoyant, thanks in part to events such as last year's Olympics and Jubilee, and other factors, such as investment by VisitBritain and VisitEngland.
"And that is matched by our domestic range, which is going from strength to strength.
"Our best-selling tours for 2013 include 'Royal Norfolk', which combines the coastal splendours of the north Norfolk countryside with a visit to Sandringham; and 'Leeds Castle', which offers the majestic castle in Kent and vintage steam delights of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway and the Kent & East Sussex Railway.
"One of the most popular additions to Grand UK's range in recent years has been 'Lark Rise to Downton Abbey' escorted tour, which features Oxford – the backdrop to many popular TV dramas – and Lacock, famous for appearing in Cranford and Pride and Prejudice."

That depends. The battle system is a lot more work than it seems. However, I am almost done with switching. I just need to add partner trainers.

Carl Partridge Candy Print
The A3-sized design features a collage of sweets taken from old comics. Perhaps by the nature of the comics he's used, lots of the brands illustrated are American: M&Ms, Reeses and Oreos for starters. It all helps to add to the British Pop art feel of the print, though Pop that's been filtered through a slightly more nostalgic viewpoint.
Limited to an edition of 100, the print costs £20.

Following the closure of the government-backed Child Trust Funds to new applicants in January 2011, there's been little real choice if you want to save for your child's future.
However, in November 2011 the new Junior ISA was launched to come to the rescue of parents across the UK and once again provide a tax free haven for your children's savings.
Here's what you need to know about the new tax free Junior ISA savings accounts:
What is a Junior ISA?
A Junior ISA, or a Child ISA, is a type of children's saving account designed specifically to replace Child Trust Funds and encourage parents to put money aside for their children's future.
The government have confirmed that a Children's Junior ISA works in a very similar way to existing adult ISA savings accounts, and the main benefit of Junior ISAs is that any interest or profits earned from the money inside is tax free.
When did Junior ISAs become available?
The Junior ISA was launched on 1st November, 2011.
Who can open a Junior ISA?
Junior ISAs are available to any child under the age of 18 who did not qualify for a Child Trust Fund account.
This means if your child was born on or after the 3rd January, 2011, or before 1st September 2002 they are eligible to open a Junior ISA account.
If your child has a Child Trust Fund they're not be eligible for a Junior ISA, nor can they transfer any savings they have in an existing Child Trust Fund to a Junior ISA.
Can grandparents invest in Junior ISAs?
Anyone can deposit money into a Junior ISA on a child's behalf, however it is only the parent or legal guardian of the child that can open an account or transfer it to a different provider on their behalf.
What is the Junior ISA limit?
The Junior ISA allowance for the 2016/17 tax year is £4,080.
Switching Junior ISAs between providers
Each child can hold one cash Junior ISA and one investment Junior ISA. However, the £4,000 limit will need to be shared between the two accounts.
For example, if you save £2,500 for your child in a cash Junior ISA, you are only be able to invest the remaining £1,500 of their allowance through an investment junior ISA account.
Unlike adult ISAs, children will only be able to hold one cash Junior ISA account and one investment Junior ISA account in total - they will not be able to open and contribute to new accounts each tax year.
However, it will be possible to transfer savings between Junior ISA providers to ensure that their future savings are getting the best return possible.
It will also be possible to switch savings from a cash Junior ISA to an investment Junior ISA should you wish to do so.
Can you have a Child Trust Fund and Junior ISA?
You cannot open a Child Trust Fund and a Junior ISA account for the same child; this is because the Junior ISA is the government's direct replacement for Child Trust Funds and only open to children who don't qualify for a Child Trust Fund.
Can you transfer a Child Trust Fund to a Junior ISA?
You can now transfer a Child Trust Fund into a Junior ISA but not vice versa.
Can you access money in a Junior ISA?
Under Junior ISA regulations, neither children nor parents are allowed to withdraw money from a Junior ISA until the child turns 18.
Parents or legal guardians are responsible for opening and managing Junior ISAs for their children until they reach the age of 16.
After this a child will be able to manage their Junior ISA savings themselves. However, they will not be able to access the cash until they turn 18.
Once a child turns 18 they are free to withdraw money from their Junior ISA.
If they decide to leave their savings in their Junior ISA, their accounts will automatically turn into standard adult ISAs.

Facebook Group "Coworking Worldwide" doubles in size within a weekVeröffentlicht am 22. Juni 2011 von Felix Schürholz in Kategorie: CoWorking Klatsch & Tratsch, CoWorking News International, Gruppenprozesse | Trackback URL | Zur Diskussion
In "Project of the Week" for Week 21 I wrote about Facebook Group "Coworking Europe". My vision was that "the group is ready to reach a new level of cooperation and action." Wow!!! Something has happened!!! "Coworking Worldwide" the Facebook Group which has developed from "Coworking Europe" has doubled within the last week from about 130 to 291 members. This means that "Coworking Worldwide" is actually now bigger than "Coworking Europe". With new members, many from the States, new topics and a more political focus has surfaced. This is great!!!

Dear Human,
I have worked with the finest furry tailors in the world, and am here to share my bounty of knowledge. Here's how to measure your pet...
Measure from the base of the tail (where it connects to the hindquarters) up to where the collar typically sits at the base of the neck, then follow up with a generous back scratch.
This is measured by giving your pet a
hug, during which you measure the entire circumference (all the way around) at the widest point of your pet's chest. This is typically right behind the front legs.
First, plenty of kisses. Then, measure the neck's circumference
(the distance around it) at the point where the collar sits.

What we were told at the start of this madness [ by the liberals] was that these ranting Islamic nutters… extremists, were but a few, in fact it was not true then nor is it now.
These 'few' Islamic nutters are in charge of what has become a 'Borough' of extremists, do you still feel we should not worry about a few ?
But then look at this man's photo,does he look like a nutter or someone who has an anti democratic agenda ? [The anomaly here is the Poppy]
This is the man Andrew Gilligan has been warning about repeatedly on his blog, Bangladeshi-born Lutfur Rahman, Mayor, the man who has 1.3 billion pounds to spend as he wishes in Tower Hamlets.
This is the man who is changing the face of the borough, this man wants sharia law.
The borough has a 49.4 per cent Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) population — with 33 per cent Bangladeshi. Soon, the borough will become one of a handful of council areas where the BAME grouping will outnumber the white population.
How could the English have been so stupid as to allow these Islamists to get into politics & power ?
"Leaders of the group want to impose hardline views on local communities. With bitter irony, it is said to have pocketed £10 million from the taxpayer by attracting state grants designed to 'prevent violent extremism".
"Those familiar with life in Tower Hamlets are not surprised. They say that such attitudes are commonplace. Residents have grown used to the fact that the council-run libraries are stocked with books and DVDs containing the extremist rantings of banned Islamist preachers……….. BANNED ???
There is a Muslim faith school where girls as young as 11 have to wear face-covering veils. There are plans to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds of municipal money to build a set of Islamic arches — the so-called 'hijab gates', which would look like a veil — at either end of Brick Lane, which is packed with Indian restaurants and clothes shops."
"Following his election as mayor, Lutfur Rahman promised to work with 'every member of the community, whether they are Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Christian or people of no faith'.
But this pledge is being jeopardised by evidence of threatening behaviour directed at the non-religious, discrimination against women and gays, hostility to whites and censorship of Western fashion — all of which is to be expected in Islamic areas of Afghanistan run by the Taliban, but not in a borough at the heart of Britain's capital."

Domestic natural gas production, which has steadily declined in the last two years, is expected to increase from 111 mmscmd in FY13 to around 183 mmscmd by FY20 on the back of future discoveries, rating agency Icra said on Wednesday.

Natural gas production to touch 183 mmscmd by FY20: ICRA
Domestic natural gas production, which has steadily declined in the last two years, is expected to increase from 111 mmscmd in FY13 to around 183 mmscmd by FY20 on the back of future discoveries, rating agency Icra said on Wednesday.
"We expect the domestic natural gas production to increase from 111 mmscmd last fiscal to around 125 mmscmd by FY16, from existing or already discovered fields. This could further increase to around 183 mmscmd by FY20," it said in a report.
"Domestic natural gas production has steadily declined over the last two years to 111 mmscmd in FY13 from 143 mmscmd in FY11 primarily due to fall in production of KG-D6 block from 56 mmscmd in FY11 to 26 mmscmd in FY13. "Factoring in certain production from future discoveries, we estimate domestic production could increase to about 200 mmscmd by FY25 notwithstanding the fall in the production from existing fields," it added.
The report further said the demand potential for natural gas is expected to significantly rise from 250 mmscmd at present to 360 mmscmd by FY20. "While the demand potential for natural gas is high, the actual offtake could critically depend upon the price competitiveness of gas against alternative fuels and timely commissioning of the proposed transmission pipeline infrastructure," it said.
The report also said it sees gas demand rising to 435 mmscmd by FY25. It is to be noted that actual consumption of gas was around 140 mmscmd in FY13, which dipped over the last two years from 177 mmscmd in FY11 due to constrained gas availability.
The study pointed out that despite increase in natural gas production, it is expected to be lower than the demand, which would prompt consumers to look at re-gasified liquefied natural gas (R-LNG).

If you're thinking about buying a used car, it's essential to learn not only as much as you can about the specific vehicles you're looking at but also those models' recall history. Carfax, the purveyor of vehicle-history data, released a report today indicating that 3.5 million cars sold online last year had been subject to a recall even though the issues hadn't been fixed.
"Open recalls are still a major public safety issue," said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax, in a release. "In fact, our research indicates that more than one in 10 used cars for sale online has an open recall."
Used cars can offer amazing values, especially if the models are only two or three years old. But you have to be wary of safety risks when shopping for a used car. (Learn about the 10 ways to protect yourself from sketchy used-car sales tactics and become an ace at spotting a used-car lemon.)
While services such as Carfax can be a great starting point, don't rely on used-car-history reports, which could contain gaps and omissions in repair history. Instead do some of your own investigative work. Check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's official safety recalls page as well as the agency's listing of Technical Service Bulletins, which details common or recurring problems with specific vehicles.

My rig:
Dimension E521, Bios 1.1.11
AMD 64 X2 6000+ 125 W, Clocked to 3.2 Ghz
2 GB RAM, PC-6400 (which gives a nice performance boost over PC-4300)
RADEON HD 4870 Graphics card, Clocked to 800/1100 (4400)
My E521 has been very reliable and it has served me well. With some case modifications and new components, I am able to run an overclocked 6000+ cpu and a 4870 graphics card in my system (a strip of the case needs to be removed in order to fit dual-slot cards, see photo). I found a great replacement cpu cooler for the E521: Noctua NH-U9B
After playing Crysis (1680x1050, gamer setting, shaders/post-processing set to mainstream) the cpu temperature never exceeds 40 C (with fan). Without the cpu cooler fan running, the cpu temperature reaches 52 C. The Noctua is very effective, it fits nicely in the E521 due to its moderate size and installation is quite easy with some adjustments (see photo).
Have a look at the accompanying pictures of my computer:
Video cards have been ahead of retail board specs on the 2.0 issue for a couple of years. Most cards starting with the 88xx series came with 2.0 capabilities. That being said yes one will suffer a slight performance hit running the cards on a 1.0 board but this will normally not be an issue unless one is into benchmark bragging rights. For gaming and all the rest the cards will perform very well. I just dropped a GTX 260 core 216 into my 720 and the thing runs like a top. So IMHO I would not be concerned about it

hey i'm looking at the Noctua NH-U9B and theres bunch of models on the internet, can you tell me if all the models would fit in the dell e521? i was thinking about getting this one but i need someone to confirm that this is the model.
also, can you tell me how to connect the cooler fan to the psu, like do i need a certain connector or what?
get to http://computerwine.blogspot.com/2008/11/upgrading-dell-desktop-e521.html and contact Tomo by Email, he will give you a honest answer about the Noctua in a BTX mobo.
It is important to know, most Cooler are to high so you can not close the side panel from your computer case.
I'm using a HyperTX, a small and effectual cooler, but it will cost a lot of sweat to build in!!!!
What CPU are you intent to use?
how did you manage to put a hyper tx cooler in there? I bought one try to fit it, got tired of it and just returned it can you show pics and how you did it?
If you return it, then it has no sense, sending you photo's.
But why do you need another cooler, what is your set up??
Im using my PSU upgrade in a new system. My E521 is now setup with the original PSU, 305 watt, and a 4670 Ultimate graphics card.
E521: AMD 6000+ 125W (stock E521 cpu cooler, with fan mounted on), 4GB RAM, Harddrive (no CD/DVD-ROM).
It runs great. And Im quite impressed with the 4670 Ultimate. Its reasonably priced, performs quite well, doesnt get too hot and it absolutely silent.
Help! I'm having trouble with my system shutting down because of high cpu temp, I think.
The spec is as follows
E521, AMD 5600+ windsor CPU, BIOS 1.1.11, 700w Arctic power supply, ATI Radeon HD4850, intergrated sound card, twin hard drives and the usual DELL twin CD/DVD drives and other stuff, runing Vista Business sp2.
I think the high temp is due to extra load of the graphics card, using normall office & CAD programs the pc is fine but playing games such as Grid or Call Of Duty 5 is when without warning the pc shuts down. I have installed another two small fans to the back of the case but this hasn't really made any difference to the CPU temps. My next thought was to perhaps follow your lead by replacing the heatsink and adding a further fan to the new heatsink.
from the pics you posted i noticed you have used a Noctua heatsink, could you tell me firstly if Im looking at this problem in the correct way and what was the model number to the heatsink that you used?
any help would be most welcome
I use the program 'Core Temp' to monitor cpu temperatures myself.
I installed the Noctua NH-U9B.
No overclocking? If you've overclocked your processor too much it could cause blue screens during gaming.
If the cpu is overheating:
Easiest solution: You should remove and clean the cpu and heatsink with thermal compound remover and purifier, re-apply new thermal compound and re-install the heatsink. It might solve the problem.
After applying new thermal compound, you could mount a fan on the stock heatsink. I mounted a a small fan (60mm) on the stock heatsink myself, it rests on the heatsink by two shortened match sticks and is hold in place by two rubber bands, connect it to the PSU.
Of course you could replace the heatsink, like I did, with the Noctua or other compatible heatsink; A heatsink that clears everything on the motherboard, is not too big and has AM2 mounting bars.
Go to
He has more a less the same V-card, contact this guy for more help.
I would not exchange the CPU heatsink here . I'm running a Sapphire HD4890 VaporX and I have installed a extra 80mm fan that blows the heat from the Vcard underside to the slots. I have removed the steel slot plates, so air can flow trough the Computer back side. No heat-up problems here, use Scythe white or blue led fan, it has a controller to adjust the RPM.

The sea was angry that day my friends, as storms rocked the boat up, down and side to side. Each time the boat lifted and dove back into a series of six-foot waves, my stomach tightened into more knots.
"Don't worry Paul, the water will calm down in a few minutes," first mate Vincent Vierra said as we made our way out to sea.
Famous last words because 15 minutes later I was having flash backs to the movie 'Perfect Storm' as the waves got taller and taller and the boat rocked even more. It was at that moment I realized I would never be cut out for the life of a shrimper. As the guys ate corn dogs and watched television, I went outside to pay homage to the side of the boat called 'Winds of Fortune.'
And that was how I started and pretty much spent my day on a shrimping boat.
Back at the helm of the boat, Capt. Wayne Magwood maneuvered through the 8-10 swells using only his foot to steer and calmly explained he had been through worse.
For Magwood, shrimping is a way of life. Magwood has been shrimping for about 40 years and his father was a shrimper before him. Being his own boss and a love of the ocean are just some of the reasons he loves his job. The Magwood family sells their shrimp locally to restaurants and out of their store in Shem Creek.
Magwood explains the life of a shrimper with a borrowed line from Forrest Gump. Shrimping is like a box of chocolates -- you never know what you are going to get from nature, the water or from the nets. From hot weather to stormy seas and an occasional memento in the nets, every day is different on a shrimping boat.
He pulls out a dollar bill he has saved after finding it in the nets while shrimping one day. He said once the crew found a $50 bill in the nets but it turned to dust after it dried. Among other articles found in the nets, Magwood recalls a flashlight, covered in barnacles, that still worked.
Soon, we reached our destination and the boat stopped as the crew lowered the nets. The waves tossed the boat around and the winds grew stronger making it harder to stand on the wet boat deck. Undeterred, the crew set up the rigging and the buckets as the boat did its best to knock them off their feet.
Quickly they lowered the nets and were back inside for another round of corndogs and television while I paid another visit to the side of the boat as sea sickness hit me once again. Back inside they offered me food and water saying it happens to everyone. Laughing, Vierra said sea sickness is a great weight loss plan.
Once the nets were lowered, we sat and waited. For the next half hour, the boat did all the work trolling across the bay dragging the nets. What happened next I never expected. The nets were pulled and emptied on the deck and while shrimp fell to the floor they were accompanied by jelly fish, stingrays and one hammerhead shark.
Granted, the shark was only a couple of feet long but I was breathing easier after they tossed it from the boat. Even after the shark was gone, the crew still had to sort through the stingrays and jellyfish to collect the shrimp. Not a fun job especially if a stingray catches you with a barb.
After the shrimp were collected and the remaining sea life was freed, the nets were dropped and the process started all over again. Normally, the shrimpers cast the nets for a longer amount of time and usually they have to wait until the start of the season to fish so close to the shore. On this particular day though, Magwood was accompanied by members of the Department of Natural Resources who wanted to collect a sampling of shrimp so the boat was allowed to drag the nets close to shore but for only 30 minutes at a time.
The staff from DNR rode along with Magwood and his crew to collect a sampling of shrimp so they could determine if the bay could be opened to shrimpers. The shrimping season does not start until shrimpers get the ok from DNR, until then they have to cast their nets a couple of miles off shore. The season usually starts in May and can last through January and even longer.
Shrimp are collected and stored and thrown into the large orange baskets.
DNR inspects the shrimp to ensure they have spawned enough times before the season can begin. As the crew collected shrimp, Jason Powers, wildlife biologist III, and Nathan West, technician III, collected their own shrimp to weigh, measure and examine for eggs. The process protects the shrimp population but also ensures plenty of shrimp will be available.
Soon the ocean was calm and my stomach was back to normal albeit empty. Magwood aimed the boat back to shore with only 30 pounds of shrimp to show for a long day of work. Obviously this is not the day he hoped to pick from his box of chocolates.
Magwood said it is getting increasingly harder to make a living as a shrimper as overseas competition and high gas prices have forced many local fishermen out of business. Years ago, Magwood said nearly 100 ships dotted the landscape on the first day of shrimping season. Now, only about a dozen local shrimpers will join him along the Charleston coastline this season.
Though he still has a list of local restaurants buying his shrimp and customers visiting the docks daily to buy fresh seafood, Magwood worries that the life of local fishermen could be short lived. Locally, groups like the South Carolina Shrimpers Association Marketing Board promote the industry in hopes of preserving the tradition of shrimping.
I admit if I had to jump on a shrimp boat everyday, the industry would surely meet its demise. After spending the day tossing about the bay, I have a new respect for shrimpers and will never look at shrimp in the seafood aisle or at the restaurant the same way again.
