Summer heat sends most bass to the depths, looking for cooler waters and food sources. Bass pile up around deep-water points and ledges, but one of the most-overlooked structures comes in the form of bridge pilings.
Quick on the handle — yeah, that's the basic premise of burning baits. But the proper tools greatly facilitate this tactic.
Dylan Poche's life may have tragically been cut short at the Sibley Lake boat launch in January, but his memory still lives on — thanks to the power of social media and a simple gesture started by his mom that's literally now taking the name of a young man who aspired to be a bass pro around the world.
When the national spotlight turned to Toledo Bend in May, the lake really showed off.
And a week later, with even more pressure on this lake ranked No. 1 by Bassmasters Magazine, the reservoir flexed its muscles again in the Sealy Big Bass Splash.
You know the deal: You're chillaxing by the pool and some goober cannonballs the crowd — not once, but twice.
He's climbing out to reload and, even though you really don't feel like moving, you just have to lay down the law.
It looked for a while that Gonzales' Greg Hackney had maintained his Angler of the Year lead after the Day 1 weigh-in on Cayuga Lake, with a solid 17-pound, 8-ounce bag good for 36th place.
For the first time since Bassmaster started creating a Top 100 Best Bass Lakes ranking, a fishery has managed to claim the honor in back-to-back years. And 2016 also marks the first time the coveted title has been awarded to the same location twice.
If you've ever seen an angler that really knows how to skip a jig under a boat dock, you'll see why they are so good at catching bass around these structures.
Sportsman TV host Greg Hackney bagged 17 pounds, 15 ounces of bass today to win the Bassmaster BASSfest Championship at Lake Texoma. His four-day total was 66-2, which bounced him from third to the top spot.
The Gonzales pro, who is leading the B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year race, earned $100,000 dor the win — and an automatic berth in the 2017 Bassmaster Classic to be held at Lake Conroe outside of Houston.
On the strength of a 17-pound, 5-ounce bag, Casey Ashley reclaimed the lead after Day 3 of BASSfest on Lake Texoma, with Gonzales' Greg Hackney in third after a day without a big bite.
Sportsman TV host and current Angler of the Year leader Greg Hackney has all of his eggs in one proverbial basket, but so far the risk has paid off at BASSfest on Lake Texoma.
Remember this as you plan a bass fishing trip to Toledo Bend in June: It's postspawn, sure, but those bass that left their love nests in the shallows after the deed was done will return there in late May and through June.
Flooded shorelines and muddy water didn't stop some Bassmaster Elite Series pros from finding big bass during Day 1 Wednesday at the Bassmaster BASSfest at Lake Texoma on the Texas-Oklahoma border.
Summertime rains can really ruin a fishing trip, especially when your lake of choice collects water from a large drainage area.
And it seems that it never rains on Monday, when you are starting off the week with visions of the coming weekend of catching fish.
Apparently startled, certainly rattled, a small, injured bream swam to the surface, zigged and zagged in the scattered grass, jumped a little and landed sideways before continuing to move erratically until it settled back into the water to meet its fate.
The Toledo Bend Lake Association awarded 139 replicas last month to anglers who caught 10-pound-plus bass during the 2015-16 Lunker Bass Program season.

Anthony Wayne Takes First Step in Placing a Bond Issue on the Fall 2016 Ballot?
On June 29th, the Anthony Wayne Board of Education took the first steps to place a bond issue on the November 2016 ballot to improve the safety and security of each building, to replace the current 84 year old Whitehouse Primary with a new building, to improve classroom and service capacity in each of the buildings, to improve general maintenance items and integrate additional energy efficiency in various buildings (electrical, heating, lighting, roofing, etc.), and improve the traffic capacity and flow at each of our six school buildings. The total cost of the project would be approximately $44.2 million dollars. If passed, the approximate 2.38 mill bond issue would cost the owner of a $100,000 home approximately $6.93 per month.

I'll admit, I've actually never had a buckeye bar, but then again I'm allergic to peanuts. With that I decided to flip the original Peanutty Buckeye Bars to an almond butter buckeye.
Seriously, I've been missing out on buckeyes all these years, because of a a peanut allergy? Well thank goodness for almond butter! And don't worry, even if you are not an almond butter (or peanut butter like the original the recipe calls for) fan you can try this with Nutella, Speculoos, Cookie Butter or Biscoff spread. The recipe is easy and forgiving, so whatever you decide on keep the original peanut butter ratio and you'll be fine. Along with that these buckeye bars easily come together from start to finish in just 40 minutes.
If you need one more convincing point, let me say—make these, eat a few, then pass them along. Trust me when I say if you don't, you'll end up over indulging. You've been warned—these are highly addictive!

Highest Quality Supplements Since 1980
The PLAC® test predicts risk for coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke associated with arterial plaques (atherosclerosis). This test measures Lp-PLA2, an enzyme that promotes inflammation inside the arteries, leading to the formation of unstable, rupture-prone plaques. An elevated blood level of Lp-PLA2 increases your risk for coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke.
The PLAC® test is different from standard cholesterol tests and blood tests for inflammation because Lp-PLA2 is a specific cardiovascular risk factor that provides unique information about the stability of arterial plaques. Unstable arterial plaques can rupture, leading to an acute heart attack or stroke.
Fasting is not required for this test. Take all medications as prescribed.

It is not the intention of National Diagnostics, Inc and Life Extension to provide specific medical advice but rather to provide users with information to better understand their health. Specific medical advice including diagnosis and treatment will not be provided. Always seek the advice of a trained health professional for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

According to Marsh, taxpayers will see an increase between 3 and 4 percent a year to pay off the bond. Approximately 1,600 sewer customers are responsible for paying the bond, but the entire town voted on the bond question.

It's a car with an out of this world price tag and today, the $400,000 Lamborghini Aventador was within reach for several D.C. students.
"When you see a car like this, you turn into a six year old," says Michael Lock, chief operating officer for Lamborghini America. "You remember the poster you had on your wall, dreaming of this amazing thing. And It's the same for everybody."
Especially for Nathaniel Cruz, who says he's loved cars since he was a little boy.
"I love everything about them. Taking the apart, working on them, putting them together, painting them," he says. "I'm pretty sure I could work on a Lamborghini."
That's why he attends the Excel Institute in southeast. The vocational school partners with Volkswagon and aims to give students like Cruz real world automotive industry training.
On Tuesday, executives from Herndon, Va.-based Lamborghini America gave Cruz and his classmates an interactive tutorial about the car's unique engineering and job opportunities within the company.
"We'd like to give back to the community and give people an insight into the engineering and how they can get their hands on the car," Lock says.
It's the second time Lamborghini has done this event. The idea is to turn a passion for luxury cars like this into a lifelong career.
Ricardo Douglass says he has a passion for American muscle cars, but was thrilled to get up close to the Lamborghini. One day, he hopes to drive his own.
"It's very special for me because I never thought, in my circumstance that I would be able to see a vehicle like this," Douglass says.

Women's Health
Family physicians provide comprehensive, continuing care to women throughout their lives. These services can include not only pre- and postnatal care, but also preventive and wellness care, such as mammograms, screenings for cervical cancer, contraceptive advice, and other diagnostic tests. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), new health insurance policies are required to cover a range of women's preventive health care services without cost sharing.
Services requiring coverage include:
- Annual, well-woman visits
- Screening for gestational diabetes
- Human papillomavirus testing
- Counseling for sexually transmitted infections
- Counseling and screening for human immune-deficiency virus
- Contraceptive methods and counseling
- Breastfeeding support, supplies and counseling
- Screening and counseling for interpersonal and domestic violence.
With the ACA in place, women can be confident that they'll continue to receive vital preventive and wellness services provided by trusted family physicians.

Signal & Noise
Open Call: Just over a week ago, the usual cluster of geeks found on slashdot.org, the premier site of the technologically obsessed, sounded off wildly on the anthology Open Sources: Voices From the Open Source Revolution. The buzz sparked a buying frenzy that pushed the book to number 12 on Amazon.com's list for that day (February 19), two places ahead of Michael Jordan: Playing for Keeps. The collection of essays, which hit shelves a few weeks ago, includes screeds by inventors of open-sourced software such as Larry Wall of Perl and Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux.
Pinch Me, I Must Be Boiling: "A special event for members of the media... and other important crustaceans," read the front of the two-dimensional lobster invite (complete with legs and antennae) for Worldweb.net's March 2 festivities in Boston. As if the comparision to crabs and wood lice wasn't insulting and random enough, the bash feted the hatching of some new software that supposedly blah, blah you still reading this? instills "revolutionary power, control, and flexibility." Just like a lobster in a pot, right?

Re: Book Failing To UploadAlisaWriter Jun 21, 2013 3:46 PM (in response to krakus33)I'm having my own set of problems. I published 3 eBooks with Nook Press last week and they still haven't posted. So I contacted support services and they told me that I have to press the green publish buttons. Which I did before. So I did it again today, and then support services sent another email with links to my books to do it again - which I did ... again ... A question though-when you press the green publishing button, does it stop being green and says something totally different - because no matter how many times I press those green "publish" buttons they stay green afterward and still say "Publish." This just seems like it shouldn't be happening; enough eBook publishing platforms are up these days that there shouldn't be such problematic issues. When Barnes & Noble first began their eBook platform (PubIt), I had the same type of issues with uploading and posting, and I became so frustrated that I finally went through Smashwords instead. Now with the new platform, Nook Press, I figured it was probably better than the last platform, so I took the eBooks off of Smashords and submitted them for publishing through Nook Press. Now I'm getting frustrated with B & N all over again. I hope support services posts the eBooks within the next couple of days, otherwise I'm going to have to go back to Smashwords. - A

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Of the Eagles' pass catchers, Zach Ertz made the biggest impression during three scrimmages with the Patriots this week.
Most of the tight end's work came against the second-team defense. But when the Eagles went with two or three tight ends against New England's starters, Ertz got open nearly as much.
His play through all of training camp - which ended with Thursday's light practice - and the first preseason game has suggested that Ertz needs to see more time with the first team.
But maybe coach Chip Kelly needs to see improvement in the second-year tight end's blocking, or he doesn't yet want to promote him over veteran Brent Celek, or he's waiting to unveil an offense that is heavy with two tight ends. In any case, Ertz will have to wait.

Free advice: Hire a chaplain
Published: Sunday, April 4, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 2, 2010 at 2:01 p.m.
To The Editor: In the present brouhaha over the County Commissioners opening their sessions with a prayer in the name of Jesus, I offer some free legal advice.
The Supreme Court ruled in Marsh vs. Chambers 463 U.S. 783 (1983) that the practice of the Nebraska legislature beginning their legislative session with a prayer given by the publicly funded chaplain is permitted by the Constitution. As Justice Burger wrote, "Weighed against the historical background, the facts that a clergyman of only one denomination has been selected by the Nebraska Legislature for 16 years, that the chaplain is paid at public expense, and that the prayers are in the Judeo-Christian tradition do not serve to invalidate Nebraska's practice."
Thus it would appear that the commissioners need only establish a chaplaincy, with an agreement to limit prayers to the Judeo-Christian tradition, to be well within the law. Whether a politician's prayer qualifies, especially one not in that tradition, is quite problematic. The commissioners may consider carrying the case to Supreme Court to resolve the issue, but it would appear to be far less costly to simply pay a chaplain, which theologically could very well be far more effective than relying on a politician.

Twenty Years Later - Joe Mullen - 11-01-10
Today, we talk with former Penguins right winger Joe Mullen.
Mullen was something of a rarity on the 1990-91 Penguins. He was a veteran all-star with championship experience. Mullen was acquired in the 1990 offseason in a deal which sent a draft pick to the Flames, the team he was won a Stanley Cup title with in 1989. In addition to his Cup ring, Mullen also brought the experience of having played for new coach Bob Johnson in Calgary.
Mullen would be limited to 47 games and 39 points in the regular season due to injuries but he would a vital component of the team's postseason run appearing in 22 games and finishing fifth in scoring with 17 points.
Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2000, Mullen spent parts of six seasons with the Penguins over two different stints before retiring in 1997. He also served as a coach at various levels with the Penguins organization. He is currently an assistant coach with the Flyers.
On being traded to the Penguins in the 1990 offseason:
"Craig Patrick was the one who made the trade and I knew Craig. I knew if I was going with Craig Patrick, it would be good. I could see what he was doing. He traded for (Bryan) Trottier right before. He signed Bob Johnson that summer. That all happened before I got traded. When I heard I was traded, I was pretty happy."
On the team's early-season struggles:
"Well, I think we were all just trying to get used to everything. There were so many different changes. People were coming and going all the time. And we had a lot of young guys. (Mark) Recchi, Paul Stanton, Jimmy Paek, (John) Cullen, (Jaromir) Jagr was just 18. Kevin Stevens was young. We had a good mixture of veterans and young guys. We had a lot of talent and we knew it. And I think they wanted to make our defense a little stronger so they seemed to concentrate on getting some defensemen when we got Ulfie Samuelsson and Grant Jennings."
On seeing established players like Rob Brown and John Cullen leave while others like Ron Francis and Larry Murphy came on board:
"You could see things unfolding. Every time they made a trade, it benefitted our team. You hate to see a guy like Johnny Cullen go because he was a guy who played with a lot of heart every night. He competed and was a valuable player for while he was here. But you look at the flip side and see what we got coming back. We got Ron Francis, you got Ulf Samuelsson and you got Grant Jennings. It was quite a trade for us."
On the major trade deadline deal which sent John Cullen, Jeff Parker, Zarley Zalapski to the Hartford Whalers in exchange for Ron Francis, Grant Jennings and Ulf Samuelsson:
"I think there was a little bit of shock because Johnny was having a good year. He had a good year before. He was really coming on the year before. I think for Kevin Stevens, they were buddy-buddy so it was probably more of a shock for him."
On Mario Lemieux returning to the lineup Jan. 26 in a 6-5 road win against the Nordiques following offseason back surgery:
"Oh it was just... just to have Mario in the lineup, it was a joy for us. Any time we could get him playing, we knew we had a chance to win."
On his "horse collar" neck brace becoming a signature characteristic:
"It's on the hockey cards and stuff like that and some of the pictures that they sell. Maybe that's where they get it from. It was necessary for me to wear it or else, I wouldn't of. It served its purpose and I got to play."
When did the team feel it could make a legit run at the Stanley Cup?
"I think as soon as the playoffs started to roll around. That first series was tough against (New) Jersey with that big save by Frankie Pietrangelo (in Game 6). We get by that in seven games. We move on to Washington, we started to get on a roll I think and started believing."
On Kevin Stevens guaranteeing victory after losing the first two games of the Wales Conference final in Boston:
"Yeah, we said 'Kevin, shut up! Don't be giving them any fuel on the fire.' Turned out to be good."
On the series-clinching 8-0 road win against the Minnesota North Stars in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final:
"Going into that third period, I think we were up 6-0 at the time. Just watching that clock tick away, it took forever. As soon as the buzzer went, it was nice to see everybody celebrating. Just like all those first feeling from winning the first Cup in Calgary came rushing back. It was just great to win it again."How did this Stanley Cup win compare to his title win in 1989 with the Flames:
"You feel those emotions and feeling come for the first time when you win it for the first time. When it the second time, the same thing comes back to you so it's just as good."

The paper towel display at the condo was nothing short of inspirational.
What could be better than a pirate themed condo?
A pre-race photo of me in front of a very pastel decor.
Eric and I just before the race. We have our running gear and are ready to go.
This photo shows several of the 15,000 people we ran the half-marathon with.
Here are the rest of the 15,000 people, give or take a few thousand.
Fireworks light up the early morning as the race begins, even though traditionally skyrockets in flight are an afternoon delight.
Smoke rises to the heavens. Smoke on the water. Fire in the sky.
Various Disney characters hail those of us about to run. They salute us.
Mile 3 shows "The Scream" and reveals that his fear was never that of being alone in a meaningless universe, but instead that a giant sharpie pen was attacking him. How very existential.
Eric checks his watch as we approach the contemporary. No, Eric, we are not almost done.
Mile 5 and lookin' alive! And ready to jive! 'cause we're gonna strive! I don't know why..ve.
You coming or are you gonna take photos all day?
Man on a mission heading into the Magic Kingdom, where the laws of physics are but playthings to powerful cartoon characters.
We run to tommorowland, where we see what people in 1966 thought that 1987 would look like.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale, Space Rescue Rangers!
'In that direction,' the Cat said, waving its right paw round, 'lives a Hatter: and in that direction,' waving the other paw, 'lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad.''But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.'Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.''How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice'You must be' said the Cat 'or you wouldn't have come here'
Oh, d-d-d-dear!
Mile 6 and Cinderella's castle. Eric assumes a victory pose. Soon the pain will begin.
A better castle photo, and still a pose of victory. The pain has already begun.
This is Eric's favorite part of the Magic Kingdom, a very nice lamppost next to some shrubs.
Patriotic fever sweeps the Disney trio. Meanwhile, a clueless guy wanders in the middle of the race course.
Yee-haw. The wild west comes alive. What is the yellow thing the cowboy is holding, and was it traditional during the old west period?
As Eric poses by the cute chick, I am surrounded by god-awful ugly drunken bears. Looks like I drew the short straw here.
I insisted that we pose by the old number three engine. Why that woman in the sweatshirt and jeans is in the picture is beyond me. Notice my dramatic pose.
The pirates of the Carribean look on while Captain Jack totally ignores us as he ogles women running by. Can't say as I blame him.
Wish this photo came out better. The shirt reads "If you are reading this, you were just passed by a fat guy." I think he finished way ahead of us, but we were saving our quads for the pirate themed water slide at the condo.
Eric was in line with me for this, but then he looked at his watch and said "We gotta get going!" He was right. We were among the last 30 finishers and only barely made the cutoff point. Of course, we did get a lot of nice photos.
This is pretty. We ran by it.
Eric stays well within the speed limit at mile 10. Or 11. Or 12, for that matter.
Nearing the finish, we decided not to run so as to not make our fellow runners look bad.
Almost at the buckyball finish line.
A full choir greets us at mile thirteen. Eric is suitably impressed.
Eric and I bask in the glory of our accomplishment, and drink water.
Still basking, still drinking.
It is good to lean on things after running.
Eric understands this.
And the winnah is....Eric! Congrats on your first half marathon. It is even more of an accomplishment since you really did not train for it.
Eric gives Mom a hug and tells her never to run 13.1 miles if your top training run was only 5 miles. Megan spaces out in the meantime.
Dad congratulates Eric on a great race. Megan remains in la-la land.
Eric and Megan pose while a hardcore rapper shuffles by in the background.
Eric has bling.
Mom and Dad pose with Eric.
Another pose.
Eric has the triple superman curl going on after his big race.
The beginning of the full marathon. I don't know why so many people are stretching at around the first mile. Should have done that earlier.
Here we approach the monorail. It is around 6:15am. It is dark.
Tolls were not charged today as we enter Epcot.
Nearing the big ball thing.
Arriba! Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip and Dale and Pluto go south of the border in Epcot.
Here I and my many chins pose with Ariel and Eric of "The Little Mermaid". Is her smile forced? Are my nostrils flared? These and many more questions to be answered!
Approaching the Contemporary hotel. Notice the line of runners ahead. Amaze at the fact that I started in the first two thousand. Gape at the fact that there are 15,000 runners in all. Do it. Gape. Now.
Main Street in Epcot. Or the Magic Kingdom. I don't know which. Does it matter?
I pose with a suffragette.
The mayor is on hand to give me a key to the city, or just a handshake.
The big castle in the Magic Kingdom. It is nice.
Cinderella's stepmother and sisters. And some giant mice. One learns not to ask questions.
My fairy godmother. Only time will tell if she grants my wish to not be such a fat bastard.
I pose with a cowboy, two cowgirls, card shark, and a tambourine playing hooker.
Scrooge Mcduck and the often wacky Laugh Pad McQuack, who reminds me of Howlin' Mad Murdock from the A-team. I ain't gettin' on no plane with that crazy fool.
I pose with a box turtle in the Animal Kingdom. Well, my wife tells me it's a box turtle, and that's good enough for me. Actually, she says it is a type of tortoise with a hinged shell. Huh.
I pose with Friend Owl from Bambi, and a girl who just happens to be named Bambi. Go figure.
Posing with safari ducks. Glad I managed to get a pic of that guy on the right.
Posing with a mandrill from the Lion King. My wife just sang to me "Mandrill the red-assed monkey" to the tune of "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer". No one is at all surprised by this.
We got the beat. Everybody get on their feet.
This is the tree of life or something. I dunno. Everyone else was taking a photo. I just went along with the crowd. Peer pressure is quite high in most long distance running races.
We be jammin! I think I am holding an instrument of some sort. Maybe I am even holding it correctly. Why did he give it to me anyway?
I pose beside a buddhist stupa in front of the Himalayas. Notice the yellow traffic cone. They are very strict about that sort of thing in the Himalayas.
Minnie and I in front of a poorly packed trailer. How she got this far on safari is a mystery.
Mickey and I pose in front of some runners who just don't feel like running anymore.
Nyahh ha hah haa! We are a triumvirate of evil.
I pose with some fop and a giant raccoon. This is the kind of world I live in everyday.
I enter a beserker rage at mile 20. The etymology of beserker comes from the old norse for "bear shirt" (bjorn sark). The bear shirt is more comfy than it sounds.
I found this t-shirt highly amusing. I blame it on the "runner's high".
Here I am with cold guy from that movie. I assumed a boxing pose to denote that I was also a superhero.
My favorite race photo. The best part is that I almost fell over from this crane pose. Guess that after mile 20 I didn't have a leg to stand on. Heh heh heh. Get it?
These people seemed happy so I posed with them, and I would do it again with no regrets.
I pose with a star at MGM studios, where the stars come to life, except that here they are not massive, luminous balls of plasma held together by their own gravity.
Me and a bunch of scary looking characters. My pose denotes my surprise at finding myself amongst such rascals.
A marvelous photo 15 feet from the finish. I was just going to finish but then I decided to take then time and get a nice photo right at the finish line. Great plan, that. Who am I posing next to, anways?
After the race, posing with a girl who ran 26.2 miles in that costume!
It is finished. Now I must see about losing a chin or two.
Being thirsty after the race, I decided my only choice would be drinking water. Drinking water...it's for drinking!
Eric and I pose with our medals on a dock (or quay) in front of a body of water.
Eric imitates the Fonz, whereas I go more for Isaac from "The Love Boat".
We were too tired to move out of the way, so more photos were taken of us.
15 pounds of metal, weighing me down.
Eric's Donald collection: Entry fee: $125. Jacket: $60. Pins: $25. Eric's first half marathon: Damn expensive.
Eric and I post with Megan, who is wearing the fine t-shirt she designed and made for all of us. Mine was kind of tight since I ate a LOT of food this past two or three years, but that is hardly her fault, except for the time she made cookies.
Mom poses with us at the post-race celebration.
She poses with us twice.
A close-up of the t-shirt.
Here we are, at Disney marketplace, a few minutes before eating at T-Rex's in the ice cave. There were mammoths and dinosaurs. I suspended disbelief at the gross prehistorical inaccuracies and just had fun. This time.
Team Latour.
A skeleton helmsman crushes us in his embrace during a haunted cruise at a storefront in the Disney Marketplace.
We show that we are still hip and with it as we pose with some mannikin youths.
Mom and Megan with Cinderelly. They can make a dress for Cinderelly. There's nothing to it, really.
Eric makes his move but it is I who will take Cinderella to the ball. After all, I am already wearing my dress hoody.
I am thinking about starting a collection of crystal primates. This would be the core of such a collection.
It's time to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. Actually, it was always time to eat the entire week.
Elephants trumpet loudly as we try and enjoy our meal. Pink elephants on parade, here they come, every day!
This is the dessert known as the volcano. I could have eaten it myself, but I believe in sharing.
Oh, bother! T-I-double Guh-E-R! Oh, d-d-d-dear! Is it just me, or does Pooh bear look like he is going to start rappin'?
We had a fine view from our condo during construction. What a wonderful vague outline of the lake!
There must always be one photo taken by mistake during every vacation. This is the one.
After the marathon, my family and I "enjoyed" a few episodes of the 1979 tv series "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century." As Twiki would say, "Bee-dee bee-dee bee-dee".
There is something very sexy about a woman wearing a space helmet...right?
And here is one for the ladies. Enjoy.

The 28-year-old donned a gorgeous light green Roland Mouret frock, along with nude heels and colorful drop earrings.
Relativity Media has unveiled the first full trailer for Don Jon, a picture that blends JGL — Joseph Gordon-Levitt – with just the right dose of GTL.
The film's title character (played by an incredibly ripped Gordon-Levitt) tries to balance his packed routine (consisting of his body, his pad, his ride, his family,…

Hello, I just downloaded the German language pack and copied the 2 files to the plugins root dir. The language did not change so I tried deactivating/activating the plugin, still no change. Even after a reboot I still have the English version running. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks :-)

This is NOT a Toy - Halo by DugFinnWatch
©2012-2016 DugFinn
FIRE IN THE HOOOOOLE!!! XD Love it!
the way the armor looks worn out is just epic. Holy crap.
Nice effect at first I did think it was a toy but then I saw his left shoulder and saw the fabric.
I must know how he made that Spartan Laser.
I must know how he made that Spartan Laser.
Just gimme 5 seconds and I'll prove it!
omg i love this!
Holy LASER BEAM !
hell yeah it aint a toy
thats very cool cos pic
You mean this is Paper! It looks like plastic or metal!
Yup! It's a paper base! I think he coated parts of it in plastic or bondo though. I'm still all in awe, but I saw the dude sit there and paint it all, so there's no mistake, it's paper. o.O
This is a great photo. It would be amazing to have a set of armor like this.
Thanks! Yeah, he made the outfit out of paper like oragami! It was actually really impressive, heh. I'll let him know you liked his outfit!
He looks like a mark five! Those things were EPIC! XD
You mean Mark 6?
that's probably the variant it's supposed to be but the visor makes it look like a mark 5. was just saying.
P.S. sorry about the late reply, I'm not on here as often as I used to be.
P.S. sorry about the late reply, I'm not on here as often as I used to be.
Not really, it's really just that it's a plain silver visor with no detail. Doesn't change the fact that it's the Mark VI helmet.
P.S. not trying to be rude here, I just don't like seeing people confused or misinformed, and I get called out on it a lot!
P.S. not trying to be rude here, I just don't like seeing people confused or misinformed, and I get called out on it a lot!
Thanks! I'll let him know!
P.S. this is so far the only GOOD halo cosplay photo i've seen: faved!
This cosplay was done really well! I'm impressed by the look of the armor!
If this is a cosplay... where the HELL did he get the SPARTAN Lazer?!
A buddy of his made it and let him borrow it for the shoot. They pretty much made the cast of RvB, lol.
it looks AWESOME
Would it be possible for me to buy a set of armor like this? If so, how much would it be?
Awesome! when I saw his hand and it looked like he had screws in his hands O_O it took me bout 20 minutes to figure out they were just dips in the gloves
Lol! You made me go back and look at his hands too now! Heh. XD
You've just been Sarged
GORGEOUS shot and great job on the MJOLNIR and laser!
Simply amazing^^
That is a cool effect. I've actually seen some photography of cities taken with similar methods and it causes the cityscape to look like a little tabletop model rather than a real life metro area.
Wow, I totally dig the Spartan laser. Did you make it yourselves?
He's probably part of the 405th. I am too but I don't have any armor yet.
AWWWWWWWEEEEESSSSSSOOOOMMMMEEEE!!!! Me want a suit like that D:

Measuring Loudspeaker Voicecoil Temperature
A system for measuring voicecoil temperature and true power in real time has been developed using the G programming language and a PC with a data acquisition board. A constant current source, filters, and analog multiplier provide high accuracy. The system can be applied without the need to model the loudspeaker's equivalent circuit in advance. Typical experimental results are presented which inform design engineering choices.

Fortunately he is a forgiving,...
27 Jan. 1994One Flew Over the Parents' Nest
Whilst his parents, Bert and Doreen, are in Spain, Ray meets Susie, a young woman who claims to be fleeing a violent husband.

She is a high class prostitute and she is wanted by a gang of heavies - as well as the police, who charge Arthur with running a brothel.
3 Feb. 1994The Immaculate Contraption
Having sold an over-priced and less than roadworthy Austin Allegro to a nun, Sister Angelica, things start to go wrong for Arthur as he attempts to supply equipment to Bjorn, the manager of the Jorgensen stress reduction clinic. He believes that he is being punished for his actions and sends Ray to the convent to fix the car, at a loss to his own wallet.

After renting a stall at a business fair, Arthur discovers the joys of corporate entertainment and launches the Willesden Entertainment Consultancy.

17 Feb. 1994The Great Depression of 1994
When Ray's Uncle Brian appears to be suffering from depression, Arthur seeks the advice of Percy Vallins, a successful businessman but known manic depressive, who suggests that Brian is shamming.

Having 'cured' Brian, Arthur then has to call in Detective Sergeant Rogerson when ex-cop Henry Keys, another manic depressive, to whom Arthur has sold a car, locks himself in the Winchester club toilet.
24 Feb. 1994On the Autofront
Arthur's sales plummet due to rival dealer Don Gedley so he advertises with Ray's friends on their pirate radio station. Don is a fair man but his violent, greedy son Grant sets out to break Arthur by framing him for driving a car through a shop window. Don agrees to pay Arthur handsomely if he takes the rap but Grant will not be satisfied, requiring Arthur and Ray to team up with Don and the pirates to teach him a lesson.
3 Mar. 1994Bring Me the Head of Arthur Daley
Arthur is one of several people being targeted by violent criminal Charlie Knowles, who is doing time for armed robbery and wants vengeance on accomplices who got lighter sentences or in Arthur's case, because he sold him the getaway car, which broke down and caused him to get caught. Knowles's outside man Phelan has Arthur framed on a charge of dangerous driving, for which he gets community service but Detective Sergeant Rogerson has his suspicions and joins Ray in exposing the set-up.
10 Mar. 1994The Long Good Thursday
Arthur's former employee Cranky Frankie Connor escapes from prison and takes Arthur hostage, demanding to know if his wife Rosie is having an affair with Italian restaurateur Luigi, who has just opened his Mafia-themed eatery Cosa Noshtra. Arthur persuades Frankie to go with him to the Winchester club to discuss things with Rosie but she calls the police and Arthur ends up getting arrested for sheltering an escaped prisoner.

Solving Cat Behavior: A Professional Look Behind-The-Scenes Johnson-Bennett's practice is in Nashville, Tenn., and along with doing email and phone consultations throughout the United States, she also does in-home visit, some of which have yielded bizarre or challenging experiences.
One client Johnson-Bennett had said her cat acted differently since it returned home after running away. Johnson-Bennett visited the house, studied the cat's markings and then studied pictures of the cat.
"This was not the same cat," Johnson-Bennett says. "It was a different cat."
She also remembers a case when a cat was mimicking the behaviors of its owner. "The cat was depressed, nervous and not eating," she says.
She realized the family member who looked after the cat was exhibiting that same behavior, Johnson-Bennett says. The family later thanked her because they discovered the family member who cared for the cat was in the early stages of an eating disorder, she says.
Johnson-Bennett encounters several cases where speaking to the cat's owner can be a delicate situation. "It is challenging for me to tell people they must change their behavior, not the cat's," she says.
One of Johnson-Bennett's clients has a territorial and aggressive cat, but the owner has a strong bond with the cat, she says. When a pet sitter came to watch the cat while the owner was on vacation, the pet sitter was more assertive with the cat and in return, the cat attacked the sitter, she says.
"As a result, when the owner came home, she was attacked [by the cat]," Johnson-Bennett says. Now the owner is afraid of the cat, but the cat is needy and used to getting all the attention. Johnson-Bennett is working to help the owner build trust with the cat and teaching her not to be so tense because the cat can sense that, she says.
Johnson-Bennett does struggle with one aspect of her job: facing the pressure to fix a cat's behavior before it is too late.
"I'm usually the last call before euthanasia," she says. "But behavior takes time to change, and I am working under tremendous stress to solve the problem because I am given such a little window to do so [before the owners decided to euthanize the cat]."
Sharing Her SkillsJohnson-Bennett has authored several books about understanding feline behavior and keeping peace in multi-cat households. Her first book, "Cat Love," was published in 1990 and she is now working on her seventh book, which was untitled at press time.
"I continue to write because I gain more knowledge [about cats]," she says. "I write my books in a way so they become the next best thing to a house call."
In addition to using her books to coach cat owners on cat behavioral problems, Johnson-Bennett also offers advice on how owners can provide an exciting environment for their cats. More interaction between cats and owners, such as using a fishing tool to play with your cat, will keep your cat active, Johnson-Bennett says. Setting up little activities for the cat or providing perches and hiding places for cats will keep them entertained while you are away.
Every morning Johnson-Bennett takes five minutes to setup activities for her two cats, Bebe and Mary Margaret. "That's why my cats are still healthy and play like kittens," she says.
Johnson-Bennett says she is passionate about her career and will do it forever. "It is so rewarding when I get calls or emails from people," she says. "It makes me cry when people say they would have put animals to sleep but now didn't because I helped them."

I have a 5 year old Tonkinese. We love him to death. He has been chewing on my leather coach and love seat to the point that it either needs to be replaced. He also will jump up in our arms to be held but then just turn and bite on us to where he draws blood. Today he jumped up in my arms and then immediately turned and attacked me under my neck and almost broke the skin. I dont know why he is doing these things. Please help.
