PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (CNN/WTSP) -- South Florida authorities are asking for the public's help to find the three remaining "foxy thieves" who are allegedly drugging men they pick up at high-end bars and stealing tens of thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry, guns and other valuables. A fourth woman turned herself in on Thursday.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office released photos of the four suspects, all in their 20s, and have attained arrest warrants for them. Investigators suspect there may be more women involved in the ring.

"They're attractive women that go into a bar and they have a scam and they work it again and again," said Dani Moschella, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office.
The scam works like this: go to an upscale bar, flirt with a middle-age or older man wearing expensive jewelry, go back to his home, slip a drug in his drink, rob him and leave before he wakes up.
This is what Subhanna Beyah, 25, Johnnina Miller, 25, Keshia Clark, 27 and Ryan Elkins, 23, have allegedly been doing for the past few months in upscale bars in South Florida.
Investigators have identified four of the women's victims, Moschella said, adding that they believe other victims "haven't come forward because they're embarrassed."
"This investigation is by no means over," she added. "We anticipate identifying other suspects and other victims."
Scott Rosen, 54, told CNN two of the suspects paired up when they worked the scam on him. Rosen said met the two women at YOLO, a popular bar in Fort Lauderdale's business district, and the three left the bar for his house. There, Rosen said, one of the women distracted him while the other made him a drink.
"I got drugged," Rosen said.
The next thing Rosen remembers is waking up to discover over $250,000 worth of his personal items gone -- handguns, diamonds and a Rolex watch he was wearing -- along with the women.
"It could have been worse," he noted. "They could have shot me with my own handgun."
The women, who allegedly used fake names during their ruses, are each being charged with one count of grand theft.
One of the suspects, Keshia Clark, turned herself in on Thursday after extensive media coverage of the case. Broward County authorities are now hoping to get the remaining three women in custody. The sheriff's office has joined with Crime Stoppers to offer a $1,000 reward for anonymous tips that lead to an arrest.
"We really want to get these women off the street ... because they're drugging their victims, presumably," Moschella said. "We don't know how long it will be before they end up killing somebody accidentally."

|Accident kills two, injures another
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Poor visibility led to the death of two people Wednesday, Dec. 19 five miles north of Holyoke on Highway 385.
Manuel F. Hernandez, 31, of Ovid, was driving a 1999 Chevy S-10 southbound on the highway at 11:20 a.m. when he collided head-on with Byron D. Fox, 57 of Stapleton, Neb.
Fox was traveling northbound in a 1999 International 9300 semi truck. The two vehicles collided head-on and both went off the west side of the roadway.
Hernandez and passenger Wesley T. Prottsman, 34, of Venango, Neb., were killed in the accident and pronounced dead at the scene. Fox received minor injuries and was taken to Melissa Memorial Hospital, according to the Colorado State Patrol report.
With very poor visibility due to high winds and blowing snow, Hernandez's vehicle was traveling south in the northbound lane at the time of the accident.
Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and performed extrication on the pickup to remove Hernandez and Prottsman. They also helped with traffic control.
Highway 385 was shut down following the accident and reopened around 2:40 p.m., according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Randy Pierce of the CSP investigated the accident.

Comments about ... Luau Gummy Fruit Kabob (12-pack):
These were recommended to me by a friend, because she can\'t get enough of them. After receiving my order today, I can see why! They have a gumdrop type texture- not too hard, not too soft- and the perfect amount of sweetness. Not to mention being so adorable! Perfect for a summer party! My 20 month old loves them.

Okay, so I'm creating a forum based play by post Star Wars rpg. This means that maps are going to be helpful for people and since my own map making skills leave MUCH to be desired. I am here to beg for a more skilled artist than I to take pity on me and create what I cannot. I have a few ideas floating in my head, but nothing articulate enough to really write down or put to paper, but I'm willing to work with whoever is interested via whatever communication medium they choose. Since my site has a few others leading certain places this will undoubtedly lead to more commissions, so there is potential for more work lol.
The map I'm wanting is going to have each of the basic terrain, Mountains, snow, desert, plains, forest, wetlands, with the two civilized areas being in the west, one along the coast and the other in the forest. This is just for the region map, the cities themselves will have their own maps. Obviously I'll be giving the author the copyrights, but asking that I use them for my site providing I give them credit.
Star Wars: Unity
Thats the website. I don't really have a deadline, I am pretty sure that by February the site will be up and running, but I'm setting this that far ahead to cover any things that could halt progress. I always give more time than it might take just to be safe lol.
So with that said, may I please have your amazing skills put whats in my head to proper picture and be even more amazing than what I see floating in there?

|It's the Pitts
|Written by Lee Pitts
A committee of one
I'm not a real meeting-goer. The last meeting I went to was 20 years ago, and believe me, it felt like it lasted that long. I doubt the Rotarians would have me, and, although I think highly of them, I'm not a Moose, Elk, Lion or any other group of wild animals that meet regularly. I was on a planning commission once, but the group seemed to think that our town might be better off if I stayed home.
One of the reasons I dislike meetings so much is that I was a member of the FFA in high school, and all our meetings were conducted properly using Robert's Rules of Order. Although groups say they are using the same rules today, I think they are really using Howard or Helen's Rules of Order. Or whoever else is president.
The primary reason I hate meetings is that any time you get more than two people together they start acting stupid. Instead of saying, "That's the most idiotic idea I've ever heard," you hear yourself seconding the motion.

The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine will work together to study the health of the Gulf of Mexico.
The Sun Herald reports representatives from each group announced Wednesday a formal partnership to research protected, threatened and endangered species in the Gulf, especially after recent hurricanes and the BP oil spill.
Officials say the goal is to improve the ecological health of the Gulf and to find out how natural and man-made disasters have affected one of the largest ecosystems in the world.
IMMS and MSU have worked together for about 25 years on various projects, but officials said the partnership needed structure in order to fully study the Gulf and the species that live in it.

Champaign, IL (Sports Network) - A Big Ten Conference showdown is on tap for
Sunday evening, as the Illinois Fighting Illini play host to the second-ranked
Michigan Wolverines.
Only a Jan. 13 loss at nationally-ranked Ohio State has kept Michigan from a
perfect season, and since that defeat it has responded well with a road win
over Minnesota (83-75) followed by a 68-53 triumph versus Purdue. With No. 1
Duke losing earlier in the week, the Wolverines appear to be in line for the
top spot when the new AP Poll is unveiled on Monday, if they can take care of
business today of course.
Illinois was one of the nation's biggest surprises early in the season, as it
opened at 12-0 and rose as high as No. 10 in the rankings. Things have not
worked out well for the Illini since Big Ten play began however, as they have
dropped four of six conference bouts, but they are fresh off a 71-51 road win
over Nebraska on Jan. 22. Starting with this matchup, the Illini will face
four ranked foes in their next five games.
Michigan has defeated Illinois in three straight contests, but the Illini
still lead the all-time series, 85-74.
Michigan was sluggish out of the gate against Purdue, as it went into the
locker room at halftime trailing, 33-32. The team was able to pull it together
after intermission however, shooting 53.8 percent from the floor over the
final 20 minutes to pull away for the 15-point home win. Trey Burke was
stellar once again, tallying 15 points and eight assists, while Glenn Robinson
III narrowly missed a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds. Tim
Hardaway, Jr. (13 points) and Nik Stauskas (12 points) were also solid in the
triumph. It's easy to see why the Wolverines, who average 78.7 ppg while
allowing 59.2 ppg, are one of the nation's top teams considering their
outstanding +19.6 scoring margin in a strong Big Ten. Burke is building a
strong resume' for Big Ten Player of the Year, ranking third in the conference
in scoring (17.8 ppg) and first in assists (7.2 apg), all while shooting an
outstanding 50.4 percent from the field. Hardaway, Jr. is hot on Burke's heels
with his 16.2 ppg, and Stauskas has made 49 3-pointers at a 49.5 percent clip.
Robinson III adds 12.1 ppg and 5.9 rpg to the mix.
Illinois was able to snap a three-game losing streak the last time out by
piecing together solid efforts from the floor (24-of-53) and the foul line
(16-of-21), while stepping it up at the defensive end by holding Nebraska to
as many field goals as it had turnovers (14). D.J. Richardson shot 6-of-9 from
3-point range en route to a career-high 30 points, and while Brandon Paul
struggled with to find hit stroke (4-of-13), he still finished with 14 points.
Paul is typically the focal point for the Illini, who shoot 43.1 percent from
the field in putting up 72.8 ppg. The senior guard nets 18.0 ppg (second in
the Big Ten) and adds 4.8 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.3 spg, and nearly a block per game
to his stat line. Richardson averages 11.8 ppg, but he's usually a detriment
to the team with his poor shooting (.374). Tracy Abrams rounds out the unit's
double-digit scorers with 11.4 ppg, while also contributing team-highs in both
assists (3.2 apg) and steals (1.6 spg).

TEX MEX: Use chopped chicken, prepare with a can of Mexican diced tomatoes, a tsp. of cumin and a 4 oz. can of chopped chilies. Add black beans and corn for veggie goodness. Mix ricotta with Monterey Jack and top with Cheddar instead of Mozzarella. Use Salsa instead of spaghetti sauce and serve with sour cream and fresh chopped tomatoes.

Anyway, I'm going to make my prediction about which
Free Food.
Everyone knows that all you have to do to get elected most popular is give away stuff everyone wants. In some circles you might call that earmarking. GroupMe calls it grilled cheese. Here's how it worked: GroupMe set up a mobile kitchen right outside the Austin Convention Center and gave away free grilled cheese sandwiches and soda to those who sported the GroupMe logo which consists of a pound sign + smiley face.
Here's the part where I quote CNN because I am too lazy (and queasy) to describe this social media toddler rising star in my own words:
"GroupMe, which lets users create "private social networks" with their friends over text messages" and "It's the rage of SXSWi this year, which is saying something considering this place helped launch Twitter and Foursquare. Here's the gist: Phones can send a single text message to several people, but you can't "reply all" to those messages as you could on e-mail, Hecht said. Hence, GroupMe – and competitors like Beluga, kik and Fast Society – lets users create "groups" of friends and co-workers who they can chat with over text. Send a message to the group and all of its members get the text, either in the app, where it uses a phone's data plan, or as a standard SMS. " Get the whole CNN story.
And now you're wondering if I am sick because I indulged in the free sandwich. I did not. It's not that I am above accepting a free meal. But I live with two very small aliens who refuse to eat food unless it is made of cheese: cheese pizza, macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese . . . My palate has matured moved on from grilled cheese so I passed, went inside and paid $14 for a shaved turkey sandwich. So no, I am not featuring GroupMe in the Pulse blog because I am "drinking the koolaid" (which will now be referred to here as "eating the grilled cheese"). But I can totally see the value in GroupMe since I can barely text the one person who shares responsibility for my aliens to pick up a quart of milk without misspelling 80% of the words.
Let's check back next year to see how many of you are "eating the grilled cheese."

Use this product to protect massage table upholstery and increase the comfort of your clients. These fit most face cradle pads. Available in white, blue, chocolate, lavender, cream and sage.Cleaning Instructions:
bought 2 of these to start- ended up loving them, so i bought more. there is a piece in the middle like someone mentioned, HOWEVER, it drapes out of the away nicely. very soft feel, comfortable for clients, leave no crease marks! great product, will definitely keep purchasing these
I had been looking for these...soft, leave no face creases, relaxing colors, wash and dry great! thank you!!!
I love the feel of these face cradle drapes. The only thing I don't like is when you wash and dry them, after a while they pill and are not as soft. (I do use softner) I am going to let them air dry in future and see if that works better to keep the softness.
this drape shows a clean center but the drape that came to me has this big piece of material in the middle that pushes down but still caused the client to feel like they cant breath well. just gets in the way. not what I was expecting, to much trouble to return so Im just stuck with them. I have cut the piece out and hope they hold up under washing.

Line 8-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Prepare truffle mixture as directed. Spread into pan. Refrigerate 1 hour.

So easy and so delish!! It didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would to roll the truffles. I used my small-sized cookie scoop so that made things quicker. They were a big (chocolatey and peanut buttery) hit!
These were easy and a lot of fun to make. Great for gifts. Yum!
I have made these many times, and always to great reviews. A few people have said they taste better than any commercially prepared product!

Hello All,
We are looking to revamp the map of our gaming world, which is used for our large-scale LARP and an associated geopolitical game. The current map version, which has been around for nearly 12 years and is in dire need of being modernized and made visually more appealing.
The artist will need to respect the current geography of the map, and will have all the necessary parameters (such as where the forests, mountains, etc, are located).
The map is a single continent, roughly the size of Asia, and its surrounding land-masses/islands.
Here is the current (low-res) version of the map:
The style of map we are looking for would be akin to the one used in the following map:
Alvarania IV by ~Luned on deviantART
The map quality will have to be professional, and will be used for both web and printing (poster-size). Ideally, if the map can be vectorized so that we can integrate it to a flash-based map browser on our web site, it would be ideal.
Time Constraints
Time-wise, we are looking for a map by mid-july at the very latest. Earlier would be better.
We will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.
Please contact me via firstname.lastname@example.com for payment details and further questions.

With the boys' golf season rapidly winding down, the Dragon team is playing their best golf of the year, earning a first-place finish at the first annual Kurtis Huss Memorial Golf Tournament in Holyoke Thursday, Sept. 5.

When you see local kids covered in tatoos, dyed black and reddish hair, sickly looking and dressed strangely, you are looking at this epidemic. Why is this happening? Did you know the Wetzel County Health Dept was in a collapsing building so guess what the solution was..move it to Tyler County..oh, thanks for another lost resource.Stop this at the top! Organized Crime! We are letting this happen through non-existant enforcement of this and other illegal activities.

I think Moundsville Police is doing a good job. I'm sure it only took moments for them to get to the home of which a mother overdosed. Even when that's not even how the call came in. I'm sure that the children in the case were the officers first priority. Good Job guys :-)

you are so right mdsv. Very lucky LE was their for these kids.

The screaming could of been several possibilities. The man and woman that were no longer in the residence when the police arrived may have had a disagreement about the situation they were presented with. It's not uncommon for an overdose person to be left to die or for someone to call 911 and take off in fear of further involvement. As I am sure the child was fearful and had an outlash of confusion. What's sad and disgraceful is that these two children were brought into a life such as this, presented with little chance in becoming what they could be. We can only hope justice is served and there two innocent little ones are given a chance. Drugs are selfish and become dictators to ones life. I pray for the brave and innocent babes, this could of ended even more horrific, thanks to concerned citizens and law enforcement it didn't.

Well said accousticportal. The article states that police came because of reports of a man and woman yelling and children crying. The oldest child tells same story. Even the kid says he asked the man and woman for help??? Think the police need to get the rest of the story, or the NR, but something is missing. Did they question the man that was at the house? Does he know who the woman is that he was with? her name? What happened? Sounds like a case for Dick Tracey.

F-N animals.
=> Alphacentar...I'm against zealous and unreasonable arrests...I personally believe that there's too much government, including police involvement, in citizens' every day life, and I do believe that our law enforcement cross reasonable boundaries at times. I believe that police intervention was completely reasonable for this case, as children, as well as the mother were at risk of harm. It's a disgusting and disturbing scene.
Alphacentar...I'm grateful for my freedom of speech, and yours..feel free to obsess on me any time.

The actuarial science program at Robert Morris University prepares students for a rewarding career as an actuary. RMU was one of the first 10 universities in the United States to be designated a Center of Actuarial Excellence by the Society of Actuaries.
CareerCast.com named actuary as the top-ranked career in 2013 based on things like job security, stress, compensation, and future prospects. An actuary is an expert in risk. Most actuaries are employed by either insurance companies or human resource consulting firms, where they design health and retirement benefit plans.
RMU's actuarial science program is highly interdisciplinary in content. The curriculum includes courses in general mathematics, statistics, actuarial mathematics, business, economics, and finance.
The first edition of the Jobs Rated Almanac (1988) had actuary as #1, and it has never been rated lower than fourth. The 2013 version, now published online at Careercast.com once again has actuary at the top. The editors compile statistics on 250 occupations and rank them based on six key criteria: environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands, security, and stress. The data comes from government sources, such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as studies from trade associations and industry groups.
Actuaries are responsible for determining rates and premiums on insurance policies (e.g. life, health, home, and auto) and forecasting future events affecting the soundness of insurance programs. Some actuaries work with consulting firms as advisors to corporations regarding human resource and pension benefits. Government agencies, such as the Social Security Administration or insurance regulatory boards, also employ actuaries. Actuaries can specialize in life and health insurance, in property and casualty insurance, or in pension benefit programs. Half of all certified actuaries work for insurance companies, one third for independent consulting companies, and the remainder in education and government. A wealth of information on actuarial careers may be found at the Be An Actuary website.
Compensation depends on experience, employment location and the number of exams passed. The average starting salary is approximately $58,000. The salary growth potential for the actuarial profession is one of the highest available. For example, Fellows of the Society of Actuaries with 15 years of experience often earn in excess of $250,000 annually. For more detailed salary and compensation information, visit www.dwsimpson.com/salary.html.
Below is a typical four-year course of study for actuarial science students, including major requirements and some electives. Your own schedule will vary based on your own interests. Students entering with college credit for one or more semesters of calculus may begin immediately preparing for the first actuarial exam (P/1) by taking Probability/Math Statistics I and II during the freshman year.

Construction and line quality are perfectly fine. My only complaint is that the spool is SLIGHTLY too small for 75 of line. There isnt enough room to clip a bolt snap through a hole in the spool without cutting off several feet of line. Not a big deal but a tad annoying.

The issue isn't meetings, or companies paying doctors to present at meetings to their colleagues about a drug. After all, who knows more about a new drug than the company that made it? The issue between drug companies and physicians is transparency.
The amount of money gave pause, and brought home the severity of the crime, but in truth it was a relatively rare incident. Nonetheless, the headlines increased. A tipping point finally was reached when Senator Grassley proposed the Physician Payments Sunshine Act (PPSA), which was passed by the federal government and rolled into the broader healthcare reform package. It was signed on March 23, 2010 and will be fully implemented on March 23, 2013.By requiring public disclosure regarding the monetary relationship between a doctor and a drug company, the hope is that it will cleanse medicine of the perceived conflicts of interest by shaming doctors. But will it work? After all, there is no data that proves quid pro quo corrupts. Will it be worth the costs of implementing it? And does it go far enough?
Not everyone thinks so (see "Sunshine Act Still in the Shade"). Will it change meeting attendance? Or more seriously, will it dissuade doctors from working on the clinical trials pharma companies need to get their drugs through the Food and Drug Administration approval process?
Tranparency is good, but so is discourse, accuracy, and taking the time to consider all the ramificatuons before it's too late.
Traversing the shifting sands of the Physician's Payment Sunshine Act (PPSA) is difficult at best. First there's the Act itself and its disclosure demands; second there's the confusion of what it entails; and third there's the new deadline.
Rolled into a section of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the so-called Sunshine Act was slated to be implemented Jan. 1, 2012. That deadline evaporated when The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published in December 2011 a notice of proposed rulemaking for a provision that stated any gift or payment of more than $10 to physicians from a pharmaceutical or medical device maker must be reported publicly. Now, the new date for implementation is March 2013.

Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 20 points to lift the Georgia Bulldogs to a 68-62 win over the Tennessee Volunteers in an SEC tilt at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Kenny Gaines hit 5-of-7 from the floor for 12 points off the bench for Georgia (11-11, 5-4 SEC) which won its fourth straight contest. Vincent Williams added 10 points while not a single Bulldog had more than three rebounds.
Jordan McRae scored 17 points to pace Tennessee (11-10, 3-6) while Jarnell Stokes contributed a double-double with 16 points and 11 boards.
Four different Bulldogs registered baskets during an early 8-2 run to start off the game for Georgia. The visitors made 7-of-13 shots from behind the arc in the first half and after forcing 11 Tennessee turnovers, led 35-26, at intermission.
The Volunteers managed to tie the score on a McRae three-point play with 13:28 left in the game, but they would do no better than that as Georgia responded with momentum-building 9-0 run. Five straight points by Caldwell-Pope late sealed the road win for the Bulldogs.
Georgia shot 55 percent from behind the arc on the way to its third consecutive road win.

Item # SRM0254
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Front Derailleurs in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM Rival Front Derailleur $0.00
The Rival front derailleur is built with the same outer plate design as Red and Force, allowing you to use all 10 cogs on your cassette while you're in the big chainring with minimal chain rub. You can cross-chain all day long in your big ring without having trim the front derailleur. And when you're in the small ring you need only one trim position in order to make silent use of all 10 cogs. It's identical in virtually every way to Red and Force, except that you get a high-polished aluminum finish with black highlights, and it lacks titanium hardware.
Like Red and Force, the Rival front derailleur can handle any chainring differential up to 16 teeth. This means you'll use the same derailleur for a 53/39 crankset as you will a 50/36 or 50/34. The braze-on version weighs in at 88g, while the clamp-on versions run closer to 103g. Available in braze-on, 31.8mm clamp, and 34.9mm clamp.
The actual weight of the SRAM Rival Front Derailleur: Braze-on is 89g. 31.8 is 101g. 34.9 is 101g.
- SRAM actuation ratio for proper balance between upshift and downshift
- Intuitive adjustments make it easy to get your shifting dialed
- WiFli ZeroLoss trim for instant, precise shifting
- Compatible with standard and compact rings
- For use with SRAM 10-speed drivetrains

Does the Job
Install, test, shift, ride. It's doing thejob just fine on my TT bike on a budget. It's nothing flashy, but it does the job well. Really fidgety for adjustment from small to big, but if you give it some TLC it'll shift just fine.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Have rival throughout on my ridley x-fire 2012, with 12-25 cogs and 36/46 chain rings (all came stock). bought at a LBS, and from day one there was always trouble upshifting from the 36 to the 46 when on any load. would shift perfectly in the stand, but not when you are pedaling; would literally almost have to stop pedaling to get it to shift. The LBS tried everything; lifted it, dropped it, twisted it, no dice. Took it to a second bike shop, same deal. Finally read that others have the same problem; concurrently, my LBS said they were now just swapping them out for shimano ultegra FDs, which are compatible, as all the rival FDs were having the same problem. So had mine switched, and have been happy ever since; shifts immediately even under moderate load.
Again this was the 2012 rival FD, but I don't think it has actually changed in that time. When it does get updated, hopefully it is MUCH better, as it was pretty much un-rideable. The rival RD, on the other hand, works just beautifully.
A little lacking!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Let me start by saying I like my SRAM Rival shifters; and RD but this FD is hard to get dialed in. I have a 11-32 rear cassette and 50-34 front crank with still some cross chaining rub going on no matter how I adjust it. I did not have these issues with my 105 system on my other Orbea bike. It shifts okay but the trim effect is also lacking in comparison to my 105 system. I can live with it but I may upgrade that FD to a Force to see if this can be corrected. Overall it works and does fine but I really think it should be able to be dialed in so no rub effect. So because of that I give this a 3 star rating. Don't get me wrong the quality is great just the dialing in to be quite a pain which I have read feedback these can be!
Does a decent job
This FD does a decent job of downshifting however I noticed some weakness on the upshift. I sometimes had trouble with it not moving the chain correctly in that it would skip along the big ring a few times before catching. I swapped my Shimano 105 FD back onto my bike, kept the SRAM shifters and all is well again. The upshifts are back to being lightning fast and very smooth.
The SRAM Rival FD works fine however the Shimano 105 was noticeably better

Discussion in 'Fishing Chit Chat' started by jiminoc, Aug 3, 2006.
Whats the fish you love to eat the most that are able to be caught in the local so cal waters?
splitfin tuna
You left out Crappie...
And "Tuna" doesn't cut it. BFT, YFT, BET, Bonito, and Albert. They're all different.
Hey there Gary, good to be in the Halibut eatin company with you buddy !!!!!
Go Halibut
yea but they're are too many tuna types to list out one by one. didn't want to have a 30 option poll
Man this is a tough one, there all good........
You'd only add 4 above what you have. BFT is my personal favorite BTW..
Whatever is on the business end of my fork. Although I Think GAFF YA GOOD has the only option that doesnt taste like shit if its over cooked, (unless you have a slip of the tounge).
Albacore, not on list. Number one, way better than wahoo.
I have never had Wahoo, but that would be Bill's pick, although it is rather tough to catch local.
Halibut is right there with my all time favorite WSB. It also depends upon how you prepare it.
For the bodyguard, albacore sashimi, but we have all the tuna and yellowtail varieties as sashimi. Blue fin, marinated in balsamic vinegar, cracked pepper and some good olive oil, grilled until almost done, then sprinkle with lemon, chives and then top with a pat of butter just before removing from grill.
Smoked Yellowfin makes the best tuna salad.
Can't beat lingcod for fish tacos. Dorado, encrusted with either macadamia nuts and coconut served with mango salsa.
DAMN they are all good.
Gotta agree...... fresh splitfin.... no other choice...
I just cant quite agree with ya on this David. I have had plenty of Albacore, bled, tail tendions cut and on ice in a kill bag ready to eat when we got home, and then Ono caught right here in my backyard, properely taken care of and had for dinner that evening.
IMHO best eating fish Ono hands down either cooked or raw. LR Wahoo frozen in the heavy brine isnt anywhere near as good as this fresh Hawaiian Ono, but hey the post did say local fish.
Thanks Rox very hungry now !!!!!
The Mahi receipe sounds tremendious.
The "local" context is what kept me from saying ono. THe best I've ever had was caught within a 1/2 mile of the beach in Barbados. Right at the end of the day. 30min later it was gilled, gutted filled with vegies, coated with lemon pepper, wrapped in aliminum foil and thrown in a fire pit on the beach. The best fish I have ever eaten.
Reds and BFT
yellowtail sushi style. I tryed it cooked but raw its just taste better same with tuna and try a spicy tuna roll but if you get rolls make sure they use soy paper not seaweed its not chewy :bablefish sandy
Damn, that Rox always has to do that everytime she post I have to check it out, Jack, I just love them butts man, my best eating fish all my life, but that WSB is a close second for me.
Had yellow tail and dorado the other nite after Greg got back and it was really good too, man its all good....
Black Sea Bass and Garabaldi. Both are awsome.
Naw, I donate the 1st two I catch on every trip, and fresh wahoo still doesn't hold a candle up to ablies, but that's my taste buds. RSW still doesn't help Ono. Never be number one in my book. Heck, BFT beats it as well. No flavor, but works good in meals in place of chicken. I'll trade vacuum packed wahoo for vacuum packed albie all day long.
wahoo, but not a local fish, bft love it raw or cooked. local, just can't get beyond calicos...flour, egg, panko flakes then fried...with homemade sauce or in tacos...love it, love it, love it!!!!!
damn, now hungry for sushi...yakatori, here i come....

Vueling launches its new website
With Vueling's newly re-designed website, customers will now find it even easier to access popular services such as online check-in or to make changes to their flight.
In the future, customers will also be able to make a flight reservation in just one 'click' and locate their nearest Vueling airport by geolocation.

Its unique features include enhanced optimization whereby customers have quicker access to greater content as well as enhanced efficiency and usability owing to more intuitive navigation.
All web content can be accessed from a variety of media platforms including mobile phones (using the m.vueling.com page) and digital tablets.

The travel search engine has also been adapted to the preferences of travelers.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Deanna Fleming with Catering Creations shared this great recipe for hot wings.
Hot Wings
• 12 whole chicken wings (about 3 pounds)
• 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
• 1 small clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• Kosher salt
• Blue Cheese Dressing for dipping, optional
Place a 6-quart saucepan, with a steamer basket and 1 inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Use kitchen shears or a knife to separate the wings at the joint.
Place the wings in the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay out the wings on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator to dry, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the paper towels on the pan and replace with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven, about 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook 20 to 30 more minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a small bowl with the garlic. Pour this along with the hot sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine. Remove the wings from the oven, transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm.

|Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE) is on its way
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
The Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE) is a permanent disaster program created by the 2008 Farm Bill that replaces the previous "ad hoc" crop disaster program. Unlike previous disaster programs that paid for losses by unit and crop, the SURE program is a "total farm" disaster program.
This revenue based program compares crops' expected revenue and program guarantee dollar amount to the actual crop revenue of the entire farming operation. Entire farming operation refers to all farms, all interests, in all counties.
In order to be eligible for payments under SURE, you are required to carry insurance on all crops with an economic significance of five percent or greater, within the farming operation. Crop insurance coverage of CAT level or higher for insurable crops and/or NAP coverage for non insurable crops is required. In 2009 and subsequent years, RMA's rainfall index policy is acceptable coverage for hay acres. For the SURE program, grazing acres do not require coverage.
The SURE program is available to eligible producers if two "triggers" are met. First, the county must have received a secretarial disaster declaration due to natural disaster, or be contiguous to a county with the declaration.
Second, at least one crop of economic significance must have a 10 percent crop production loss. In the absence of a secretarial declaration, any farm in which actual production for all crops is 50 percent of normal production may also qualify. Phillips and Yuma Counties were contiguous to a county that had a secretarial disaster declaration in 2008.
For qualifying producers, if the total farm revenue is less than the SURE program guarantee, the SURE payment is made at 60 percent of the difference. The SURE guarantee is very similar to a producer's crop insurance guarantee, so, depending on the coverage levels, the higher the coverage the higher the guarantee level will be.
Payments can be calculated and pay up to 90 percent of the crops normal production on the farm. There is an online calculator that can help producers estimate probable payments. One may access the calculator at www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/fbapp?area=home&subject=landing&topic=landing.
To initiate an application, eligible producers should visit their local county FSA office. When available, office personnel will be able to access RMA informational downloads with applicable data.
If a producer has production evidence that is not obtainable through the RMA download, i.e. hay/forage, fruits and/or vegetables, the producer must bring that production evidence with them.
Regardless of insurance type or coverage level, there is economic stimulus funding that has created additional options under the SURE program. Every producer and every farming situation will be different, so it is in the best interest of each producer to inquire about the SURE program.
Since the SURE program is available through 2011, as a producer, prepare operations for SURE eligibility by insuring all economically significant crops in all counties.

|HHS stomps Bulldogs; beats Sedgwick Co. in overtime
|Written by April Peregoy
>> Attaining two big wins on the road before the Christmas break, Holyoke's boys basketball team has managed to stay undefeated, with six games under its belt so far this season.
After beating Haxtun, 51-35, on Friday, Dec. 19, HHS took a one-point victory in overtime, 49-48, against Sedgwick County in Ovid Saturday, Dec. 20.
It's a good time to be a member of the HHS varsity team. "We're having a lot of fun right now," said coach John Baumgartner. "I like the way we're playing."
Earning extra praise from their coach after their weekend performances were Kyle Carper, Evan Swanson and Austin Tharp.
"Tharp has become our go-to guy," he said of the senior player. He added Swanson has really stepped up and made some important three-point shots when they really counted.
Younger players also had the chance to shine that weekend, especially at Haxtun. Baumgartner applauded Brian DeBoer and Colby Wailes for their rebounding and defensive abilities.
Holyoke 51,
Haxtun 35
An intense county rivalry between Holyoke and Haxtun always makes for an interesting game, according to Baumgartner. "Playing Haxtun is always fun, whether we win or lose," he said.
This time, however, it was the Dragons who came out on top, defeating the Bulldogs by a solid 14 points.
Holyoke had a nice little lead of nine points at the end of the first quarter, thanks largely to Tharp, who added seven of the team's 16 points, including two three-pointers.
However, the Bulldogs weren't willing to roll over and play dead just yet. Instead, they played a good game of catch-up in the second quarter, ending the first half only three points behind—which was a little too close for comfort for the Dragons.
The second period was a disappointing one for HHS, with only five points added to the scoreboard. This hurt the team's shooting average for the first half, which ended up being seven for 18 to make 39 percent.
Bouncing back in the third, the Dragons quickly put some distance between them and the Bulldogs on the scoreboard. Baumgartner attributed his team's success in the second half to its ability to shut down one of Haxtun's key players, Matt Ramirez.
With a fairly good-sized lead by the end of the quarter, and with some varsity players leaning toward foul trouble, many jayvee players were able to get in some fourth-quarter action.
"The other players really stepped up and got in some good playing time," said Baumgartner.
Though both teams actually scored the same amount of points in the fourth, HHS had such a strong lead from the third, they were never in real danger of losing it. The Bulldogs were defeated by 16 points.
Three Dragons earned double digits at Haxtun, led by Carper with 15, Swanson 12 and Tharp 11. Carper also dominated in rebounds, bringing down 13.

Holyoke 49, Sedgwick Co. 48
Defending their title as the 2008 state champs, Sedgwick County's Cougars were upset by the Holyoke Dragons in a one-point game that was decided in overtime.
Though the Dragons led through most of the game, Sedgwick County fought back in the fourth quarter, actually taking the lead in the final minutes. But Holyoke never gave up, and prevailed in the end.
"I admire the kids for their guts, determination and the way they handled themselves," said Baumgartner. "They came back and fought adversity to earn the win."
It wasn't an easy battle, he added, giving Sedgwick County credit for having a good team.
HHS opened up the game with some early shots from behind the arc. Swanson added two of these three-pointers. Under such fire, the Cougars found themselves behind by seven at the end of the first eight minutes.
The remainder of the first half would continue to go well for the Dragons, who managed to always stay a few points ahead of their foes.
Things began to really heat up in the third quarter as Sedgwick County hit two baskets immediately, tying the game at 26. Swanson, however, answered back with a three-point field goal, putting Holyoke back on top where they remained the rest of the quarter, ending it four points in front.
Only three points each would be earned by either team in the first half of the fourth quarter, with the scoreboard reading 38-34. However, the Cougars experienced a surge in the next minute, and not only caught up to the Dragons, but passed them. With HHS down by two, Baumgartner called a time-out.
In the next two minutes of play, Carper made another basket for Holyoke, but Sedgwick County answered with two more of their own. Down by four with only a minute left to go, it looked like the Dragons could be in trouble. But, again, it was Carper who pulled through and made two more shots to tie the game at 44 when the buzzer sounded.
With the game now in overtime, Sedgwick County took advantage of the first half of the period to gain the lead. Finding themselves once again down by four with two minutes left to play, Swanson shot a three-point field goal, putting Holyoke right back in the game.
Neither team could pull off a basket in the following minute, but finally, with only seconds left on the clock, Tharp hit a two to give Holyoke the victory.
Rebounding was key in those final minutes, said Baumgartner, though he added the team also executed their offensive plays well.
"As a group they were confident, even when they were down," he said. "They had a no quit attitude."
Carper again contributed the most points for Holyoke with 16, followed closely by Swanson with 15 and Tharp 12. Tharp also had 10 rebounds while Baumgartner made five steals and 10 assists.

I don't even think that anyone at Telltale knows what plan she has on... it's just an bad excuse to create some suprise, but it totally fails....

0202 Bernard Hodes
Special Advertisement: Bernard Hodes Group and Heineken USA create a powerful solution to the delicate balance between recruitment and diversity marketing.
Diversity, by nature of its own definition, means different things to different organizations. The key to developing a successful diversity strategy is to identify a clear and unified objective before that strategy is developed. That was where Bernard Hodes Group and their client, Heineken USA began.
Together, they determined that Heineken USA's primary objective was to build a workforce that mirrored the communities in which they did business. According to Annette Merritt Cummings, Vice President And Director Of Diversity Services for Bernard Hodes Group, "We focused on positioning Heineken USA's commitment to diversity in employment, marketing, vendor relations, and community outreach and involvement. To do this, we determined that we would use all communications to reinforce this commitment. The basis for this recommendation, driven by diversity best practice and communications theory, is the notion that a company's diversity mission should not be isolated from their overall corporate mission, but rather, it should be a fully-integrated component."
In order to benchmark perceptions and opinions concerning the importance of the company's vision, pledge to diversity, and media consumption patterns, Bernard Hodes Group conducted on-line research with selected employees and hiring managers. "We surveyed a variety of key personnel then used that data to create a company-wide, adaptable diversity branding statement for use with internal and external audiences," says Cummings.
The message: "Our best ingredients are the talents of our people," became part of all recruitment communications. The campaign was executed in print, trade journals, consumer magazines and on the Web. "In order to most effectively reach passive job seekers in the Hispanic and African-American audiences," Cummings says "we utilized consumer media targeted to those groups."
The Heineken Diversity Council was also established to articulate the mission and identify strategies to effectively manage an environment where individual differences and cultural diversity are accepted and valued. "Heineken started a diversity training program for all employees and reviewed all corporate functions, including marketing, purchasing, philanthropy and community relations in order to ensure a consistent commitment to Heineken's diversity mission," Cummings says.
The resulting advertising campaign considerably increased the diversity of Heineken's applicant pool and achieved all communication goals. The Council developed a long-term action plan and initiated a training program for all Heineken USA employees. And a new corporate position was created to reinforce their commitment to diversity and work with management to measure the success of their strategies.
"This is an excellent example of what a well-executed, consistently-supported and fully-integrated diversity strategy can accomplish," says Cummings. "Heineken USA has followed the right process. Their commitment to diversity is seen in every communication they bring to market, which means not only will prospective employees benefit from their commitment, but so too will existing employees, customers and the communities in which they do business."

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Beauty and Byron are looking for a home together. Oldies But Goodies Cocker Spaniel Rescue brought in the pair on Thursday afternoon.
B & B are 6-7 years old and have lived together their entire lives. Their owner could no longer care for them, and B&B found themselves in the shelter.
They love each other and Byron will cry if Beauty is out of sight, so ideally, they should be adopted together.
B&B are housebroken, sweet as can be, and have lived with children in the past. OBG has not tested them with cats yet, but can if you're interested in adding them to a home with feline friends.
Beauty has dry eyes and will require eye drops, which are a quick fix that make her feel better. Beyond that, all she asks is for a family that will keep her and Byron forever, give them daily walks, treats, and snuggles, and a warm bed for snoozing.
If you can provide Beauty and Byron a forever home, please click here to contact her foster family today.


text: Anyone tried these? The price is high, but the reviews I have read have been really good. I have been thinking of buying one with the smallest wood stove, the Parastove, for backpack hunts. My hunts are usually later October or early November and having a wood stove for drying things and cooking would be nice. The weight of the model I'm looking at with the stove is 6lbs, and it also eliminates the need for a separate cooking stove & fuel. I always hunt with a friend, so the weight doesn't seem bad compared to a 2 man tent and cooking equipment.

Maersk says bigger vessels are also "greener"
February 23, 2011
In a move signaling confidence in renewed demand for capacity, Maersk Line has signed a contract with Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd. to build 10 of the world's largest vessels in the global container flreet.
The vessels on order are scheduled for delivery between 2013 and 2015, and the Danish carrier also has an option for an additional 20 vessels.
Called the "Triple-E" class for the three main purposes behind their creation — Economy of scale, Energy efficient and Environmentally improved — these new container vessels do not just set a new benchmark for size: they will surpass the current industry records for fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions per container moved held by the Emma Mærsk class vessels, said spokesmen.
Not everyone endorses the idea, however.
"Shipping rates, oil price movements, and increased regulatory actions are some of the biggest issues facing shippers today," said Luciana Suran, an economist with CB Richard Ellis Economic Advisors. "Overbuilding of ships has resulted in depressed freight rates, and this pressure is expected to continue this year."
Nonetheless, Maersk announced the newbuildings with considerable fanfare, noting that The Triple-E will produce 20 percent less CO2 per container moved compared to Emma Mærsk and 50 percent less than the industry average on the Asia-Europe trade lane. In addition, it will consume approximately 35 percent less fuel per container than the 13,100 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) vessels being delivered to other container shipping lines in the next few years, also for Asia-Europe service. ?
"One of the biggest challenges we face in the world today is how to meet the growing needs of a growing population and the impact that is going to have on our planet," said Eivind Kolding, CEO of Maersk Line.
"International trade will continue to play a key role in the development of the global economy, but, for the health of the planet, we must continue to reduce our CO2 emissions. It is not only a top priority for us, but also for our customers, who depend on us in their supply chain, and also for a growing number of consumers who base their purchasing decisions on this type of information,"

Stress-Optical Effects with Generalized Plane Strain
Application ID: 190
Planar photonic waveguides in silica (SiO2) have great potential for use in wavelength routing applications. The major problem with this type of waveguide is birefringence. Anisotropic refractive indices result in fundamental mode splitting and pulse broadening. The goal is to minimize birefringence effects by adapting materials and manufacturing processes. One source of birefringence is the use of a silicon (Si) wafer as the substrate onto which the waveguide structure is deposited.
After annealing at high temperatures, a mismatch in thermal expansion between the silica and silicon layers results in thermally induced stresses in the structure at the operating temperature (typically room temperature).

City's Track Take Lower
Competition in other states means less money for pensions
January 22, 2013
WHEELING — The Friendly City's coffers are on pace to take in record-setting revenue for the second straight fiscal year, but one source that feeds directly into Wheeling's police and fire pension......
Trollslayer, it is common for pension plans to be dually funded, in part by deductions from the employees paycheck and in part by their employer (in the case of the local Polics and Firefighters, the City), not so very different from FICA taxes for the SS pension. In the case of the Wheeling Police and Fire pension funds, it is the City which has been negligent in their contributions leading to these funds being in the red.
But Wheeling did not invent this situation and is far from alone. The State Teachers and State Police pension in Wv are also basically insolvent, as are city pension plans across the country, the entire state pension fund for NJ, etc. Heck, SS is teetering on insolvency and will go bellyup before our kids can draw a nickel back from it.
What we have is a complete lack of accountability on the part of civic leaders across the country to be responsible in their fiscal actions.

NegativeEllie... Those are employee union owned businesses how it that the unions responsibility. The WFD and WPD employees already contribute to their pension funds. Seems like it is you that needs to GET A CLUE.

Is it legal for non-profit unions to contribute outside income to members' pension plans? I'd think members would owe taxes for that income, but I could be wrong. Any accountants out there know?

Troll - there's nothing stopping the FOP or Local 12 from contributing to their own pension plans using profits made at the gambling parlors.
Never said the parlors are "city owned."
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Technically I think Clueless is correct on this one - a first. It's the city employees unions that own gambling parlors. I suppose that's only appropriate, since it will be the idiots that commit all the crimes and set all the fires who will be throwing their money away to pay for the police and firemen's campaign slush funds.
And the gambling addicts, of course, but who cares about them, right Dems? Besides, they can always call 1800GAMBLER to get advice, if not their kids' milk money back.
