FishOn! Northwestern Pennsylvania fishing report, Sept. 7
Things are changing in Lake Erie, but not quickly.
Walleye fishing is hanging on, with reports varying from slow to a little better than fair.
To the west, the best walleye fishing in the region might be out of Conneaut, Ohio.
Walleye are being taken in depths of 55 feet to 65 feet, and generally in the First Trench, off Elk Creek and Walnut Creek, and points between. Most of these walleye are big.
From the east end of Presque Isle, take a 330-degree heading into depths of 85 feet to 106 feet. Stay in the same depth range east from Erie, off Shades Beach.
A few walleye have been caught inside the Mountain; however, the better walleye fishing is outside the Mountain.
One good lure setup is six colors of leadcore line with 2 ounces of lead ahead of a blue-and-black Bomber Model Long A, or a pink lemonade Reef Runner.
Any lure with a rainbow trout color pattern seems to work. Another effective lure is a chicken puke spoon. Head into depths of about 115 feet out of North East Marina for walleye, and troll 10 colors of leadcore line in front of a nightcrawler harness.
Perch have been finicky in the North East area. Go straight out over the Mountain into the second 57-foot depth. The report is the same, finicky perch, in depths of 60 feet to 62 feet off Shades Beach. Head into 50 feet to 52 feet from the fourth rock breakwater on Presque Isle, or from the Lighthouse go to depths of 55 feet to 62 feet. Perch fishing is better out of Walnut Creek and Elk Creek in depths of 54 feet to 64 feet.
Steelhead have been caught in good numbers by walleye anglers who have been trolling deeper water.
Some report catching as many steelhead as walleye. A couple of the better areas have been the First Trench and outside the Mountain. These steelhead have been averaging much better size than they have for the past few years. Some steelhead are off the tributary mouths, but catches there have been inconsistent.
Anglers in Presque Isle Bay have enjoyed good fishing this week. Crappie have been hitting at the marina. Anglers at the North Pier have been catching bass, crappie and perch. Pike have been hitting in Misery Bay.
From the East Pier and West Pier, bass, bluegill and crappie have been caught.
Inland fishing is picking up. Anglers at Chautauqua Lake have been catching more walleye and muskie. The hot tactic has been trolling in the southern basin.
A 44-pound muskie and an 11-pound walleye were caught at the Allegheny Reservoir.
White bass and channel catfish are hitting in the Kinzua Dam tailwaters. Some trout are being caught from the dam to Warren.

"Jesus Day" in Baghdad
WANTED: EDITOR OF A SUCCESSFUL LIB-LEANING BLOG AND NEWS ORGANIZATION LOOKS TO HIRE A PUBLISHER. Say what you will about the relative merits of Talking Points Memo or whether or not it's the triumphant example of why we don't need "real" newspapers or journalists any longer (previously on Mefi [1] [2]), but it does seem we've turned a corner (or perhaps jumped the shark?) when editors hire publishers instead of the other way around.
Draw it as you see it.
Joe Sacco is a political journalist. His medium is the comic. He gave a talk last march at the Walker Art Centre where he also answers questions. Talk starts 07.50 after introductions. (wiki previous 1, II ) [more inside]
A Tale of Two Cities
Crime: A Tale of Two Cities. When "The Wire" gained popularity in Great Britain, we were contacted by a London-based journalist who proposed a job swap. Mark Hughes, a crime reporter with The Independent, a national newspaper in the United Kingdom, wanted to come to Baltimore to see if the city's police officers, drug dealers, prosecutors and politicians bore any resemblance to those on show. We agreed to complete the exchange by sending our police reporter, Justin Fenton, to London to compare crime trends. [more inside]
Satire as Journalism
Satire has long been part of discourse, with written records going back to the Ramesside Period of Ancient Egypt, and two primary classifications of satire originate with the Roman satirists Horace and Juvenal. Other notable historic figures have also been authors of significant satire, but not always with much appreciation. News satire furthers the awkward stance with public, as the public may read satire as an outrageous truth, and be angered instead of amused. The Daily Show, and Jon Stewart in specific, ranks well in the fractured world of current news programming, and the show was noted in the New York Times as "a genuine cultural and political force" (previously), but you don't have take their word for it. Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism studied the content of The Daily Show for an entire year (2007), providing interesting (if slightly dated) details on the show. That year included their much-viewed coverage fo the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. And in poll results published July 24, 2009, Jon Stewart was voted America's most trusted newscaster, apparently filling the position previously held by Walter Cronkite. But is it because Stewart is one of the few journalists willing to ask the hard questions or has America been won over by "cheap laughs"?
The Price of Sex: Women Speak
The Price of Sex: Women Speak Since the collapse of communism in 1989, millions of former Soviet bloc residents have migrated abroad, looking for opportunities. These waves of migration breathed life into one of the oldest yet darkest criminal enterprises--the trafficking of human beings into sexual slavery. Hundreds of thousands of Eastern European women have been sold into prostitution. Photojournalist Mimi Chakarova, a Bulgarian who immigrated to the United States in 1990, has documented their journeys from villages in Moldova to the streets of Turkey and nightclubs in Dubai--where prostitution is an equation of supply, demand and desperation.
Two-fisted journalism
A fistfight in the Washington Post newsroom inspires this reaction from MeFi favorite Gene Weingarten: Hooray.
From Der Spiegel: Should U.S. Newspapers Get State Aid?
The Downie/Schudson Report, as it's widely called, is cautiously optimistic that journalism will survive, but doesn't beat around the bush. It urges a number of fairly radical, controversial suggestions on how to reinvent the news media without killing "accountability journalism," that critical, dirt-digging, power-questioning but expensive journalism America is famous for.
Fox "upset-the-White-House-won't-call-it" News
Fox News's bent on the news is well known, but recently the White House has begun actively excluding the network, including skipping Fox's Chris Wallace on a recent round of Sunday morning news shows. "We simply decided to stop abiding by the fiction ... that Fox is a traditional news organization." says White House Depty Communications Director Pfeiffer (as has Press Secretary Gibbs and others). The responses range from concern about an attempt to control the media to a feeling that it's about time. Is it just about Fox's anti-Obama pundits, or is it also about Fox's consistent errors and misinformed viewership? Or is the White House attempting containment so that Fox's ratings-gold style and ideas don't take over the rest of the press?
How To Save Media
How To Save Media Jason Ponti from Technology Review offers some suggestions as to how traditional print publishers might save themselves from becoming irrelevant.

When Northern Illinois University entered the national spotlight it was for tragic reasons. One of the university's public faces during the tragedy was University Police Department Chief Donald Grady.

Modern journalism: Only rich kids need apply.
The Costs of Becoming a Journalist: "Journalists born since 1970 predominantly come from middle class to upper middle class backgrounds. And Journalism ranks third in the list of the most socially exclusive professions, just behind doctors and lawyers."

Mark Bowden tells us "The Story Behind the Story" in the October issue of The Atlantic: "With journalists being laid off in droves, ideologues have stepped forward to provide the "reporting" that feeds the 24-hour news cycle.

GQ bans Moscow blast article, bloggers catch up
It took spontaneously crowd-sourced translators less than 24 hrs to make an article on the FSB's (former KGB) alleged implication in the Moscow 1999 apartment blasts accessible in Russian. Before, distribution of the issue of GQ in Russia had been banned by the editor himself. The topic (although the allegations are anything else than new) became an instant top in the russian blogosphere today (dynamic listing, will change with time)
"It is necessary to be bothered from time to time."
"It is a scene from which many of us would naturally recoil, or at least avert our eyes: a grievously injured young man, fallen on a rough patch of earth; his open-mouthed and unseeing stare registering — who can know what? — horror or fear or shock; being tended desperately by two companions in what are the first moments of the final hours of his life."

Long form journalism on the Web is "not working."
Long form journalism on the Web is "not working." - TIME.com Managing Editor Josh Tyrangiel ..Among the detractors of this statement is David Sleight, Deputy Creative Director of BusinessWeek.com: "Really? It's 2009 and we're still having this conversation?" Scattered industry advice on this topic varies from moderate to extreme, and while web analytics paint a convincing picture of web readers, some wonder if long form journalism has EVER worked. Of course there seem to be other factors at play, like methods of presentation and quality of content.
With whom it starts
Healthcare reform has agitated right-wing extremists and moneyed interests in the United States for some time — during the presidencies of FDR and Truman as well as Clinton and Obama, most recently — but where do the objections originate from, and particularly those which are known to be based on complete untruths? Some of these lies start with or are repeated by well-known right-wing media personalities, but there are other people who get the ball rolling, who are perhaps less well-known. Elizabeth "Betsy" McCaughey originated one of the current myths more commonly known as "death panels", but despite her attempts to market herself as a folksy voice fighting for the well-being of senior citizens, she has been an effective advocate for the interests of private health insurance companies since the early 1990s.

AOL: Digital journalism without the burden of legacy infrastructure
Almost three years ago, AOL started on a path towards being a "low-cost producer of high-quality content at scale" when they purchase Weblogs, Inc. in late 2006. At the beginning of 2009, AOL count[ed] more than 75 sites in its publishing portfolio and plans to add 30 more in the coming year, all gathered under Media Glow. AOL currently has approximately 1,500 content-writing staff, around 1,000 of those people are working full time for AOL, the rest are freelancing. That's twice the number from a year ago, and AOL has set the goal of doubling or tripling the total by next year. The TechCrunch article states that these writers include former journalists at BusinessWeek, New York Times, USA Today, ESPN, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Consumer Reports, Condé Nast and scores of regional and national newspapers and magazines. In an interview, Marty Moe, SVP of AOL Media, said: "Principally, we have none of the legacy costs associated with producing print publications, for example. We don't own printing presses, or fleets of delivery trucks. We don't have the elaborate editorial structures geared to producing products over a printing press." (via)
Liberal media? Free press? Journalistic integrity? How quaint.
The NYT reports that GE has brokered a deal between MSNBC and Fox News to "reconcile" Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly, preventing further criticism of each other or GE. The deal went into effect June 1, the very same day Olbermann declared he was "quarantining" Fox, avoiding discussion of the channel in the future. Mr. Olbermann, who is on vacation, said by e-mail message, "I am party to no deal." Glenn Greenwald breaks down the political consequences of the deal.
Can the New York Times and Washington Post survive on a pay-wall business model if they do it together?
In a new essay entitled Build the Wall, David Simon (who was a Baltimore Sun reporter before he produced The Wire) argues that if the larger newspaper industry is to survive, The New York Times and Washington Post must start charging readers for access to their websites (preferably done as a single action in concert with each other) — John Gruber, Dave Winer, and the folks at Gawker disagree, and Steven Berlin Johnson argues that while the future for newspapers might be quite bleak, the future for journalism and high quality analysis is actually quite bright. Meanwhile, the Times is currently doing market research to see if it's readers would be willing to pay $5 a month for online access, and the Associated Press announced it's intent to build a new news DRM system that will enable users to "consume, mash up and share AP content based on rights".

Mother Courage and her Infuseion
The Medill School of Journalism's Washington Program revealed its Pentagon Travel project last week (multimedia). Most privately paid for travel was found to be within the bounds of federal law, but some still show a clear conflict of interest. Key findings: From 1998 through 2007, sources outside the federal government paid for more than 22,000 trips worth at least $26 million. The medical industry paid for more travel than any other outside interest — more than $10 million for some 8,700 trips, or about 40 percent of all outside sponsored travel. Among the targets: military pharmacists, doctors, and others who administer the Pentagon's $6 billion-plus annual budget for prescription drugs. Medill acquired 10 years worth of trip data and partnered with the Center for Public Integrity to form a searchable database which includes destination, date, sponsor, sponsor nationality, cost of trip or agency.

My gut reaction was that the story--although a legitimate consumer complaint—seemed to reinforce a cultural stereotype about Black people and chicken.

You can order mesh panties online here:
(scroll down to the OB Pads section)
The best advice my HBMW gave me was to buy a package of depends for the post-partum bleeding! Skip the cloth panties, and buy disposable undergarments! You can add a maxi-pad or two to help with the bleeding, and it also holds the frozen maxis very well.
I LOVED them! So much better than the mesh underwear!
Yes, the mesh panties aren't really going to work to hold frozen pads I don't think b/c the mesh ones don't absorb anything. I don't really want a frozen pad+regular cloth pad+mesh panties... I'm thinking if I can't get cheap padded underwear, I'll have to get the Depends type underwear... one package should be enough to hold in the amount of frozen pads or hot compresses I use in the first week or two...hopefully! They're expensive!

A new state law may help adults – those in high school from 1990 to the present – get a high school diploma, under specific circumstances, if they never received one while in school.
Former students can now petition for a diploma, but only if they obtained all their academic credit units, but did not pass a required exit exam.
With Gov. Nikki Haley's signature, the S.C. General Assembly has abandoned the exit exam, also known as the High School Assessment Program, or HSAP. Beginning in 2015, high school seniors can graduate with required credit units without taking a mandatory exit exam.
The adults who fall into the earlier category may submit a petition in all school districts, including the Aiken County School District, said Dr. Tim Yarborough, high school academic officer.
"I've had about 20 calls from people who are spread out over the years," he said. "I expect to get more through word of mouth until December 2015, the limit on the new legislation."
Seniors in the current 2013-14 year who have not passed the exit exam remain under the old rules. However, they can submit a petition just as the former students can.
Yarborough does expect additional adults to seek petitions over the next 18 months. However, other long-standing, available options could keep those numbers down.
The School District will offer its annual summer school session, and current students can take any required classes, the HSAP or both. They can then participate in a traditional graduation ceremony.
Any former student can go through a similar process in the District's adult education program. Nearly 40 people did so at an adult commencement event on Wednesday.
In a press release from the State Department of Education, Superintendent Mick Zais said he has communicated with all districts. He is encouraging them to allow current seniors – those who have not passed the exit exam – the opportunity to march with their classmates in graduation ceremonies. While some districts may fall into that category, that situation has never been a problem in the Aiken District, Yarborough said.
"If they haven't passed the HSAP, we're still going to treat them like everybody else at graduation. It's the same with special education students who get a certificate at graduation, not a diploma. I want these students to march," he said.
The use of HSAP as a required graduation test was never a wise decision, Yarborough said. A new, and as of yet undetermined assessment, will be introduced in 2015. Again, that test will have no specific impact on graduation.
Senior writer Rob Novit is the Aiken Standard's education reporter and has been with the newspaper since September 2001.

Microsoft reaches deal over internet browsers
Published 17/12/2009
Europe's competition watchdog has accepted a Microsoft plan to offer a choice of internet browsers, ending a decade-long dispute over the software giant's dominant market position.
By March, all European users of the Windows operating system will be see a pop-up 'choice screen' allowing them to select one of 12 major browser programmes including Firefox, Opera and Safari, as well as Microsoft's own Internet Explorer product. Computer manufacturers will also be able to choose to sell PCs without the Microsoft browser.
Neelie Kroes, the EU Competition Commissioner, said the plan is good for both consumers and the software industry. "Millions of European consumers will benefit from this decision by having a free choice about which web browser they use," she said. "Such choice will not only improve people's experience of the internet now but also act as an incentive for web browser companies to innovate and offer people better browsers in the future."
The scheme represents a major strategic shift for Microsoft, which has significant operations in the Republic.
Brad Smith, the company's General Counsel, said: "We are embarking on a path that will require significant change. Nevertheless, we believe that these are important steps that resolve these competition law concerns."
Internet Explorer is by far the most dominant browser, accounting for more than half of all internet traffic compared with less than a third for Firefox, its nearest rival. In January, Brussels ruled that Microsoft was gaining an 'artificial distribution' by bundling its browser in with the ubiquitous Windows operating system. The 'choice screen' solution has been under discussion for more than six months, after the Commission realised that the initial Microsoft threat to pull Internet Explorer altogether would leave Europe's Windows users with no way to get onto the web to download an alternative.
The row over browsers is just one of a series of disputes that have cost Microsoft €1.6bn (£1.4bn) in fines since 2004. Commission inquiries have included compatibility issues affecting both Microsoft's servers and its Office software, and the bundling of its Real Player media system.
The Redmond-based company yesterday also agreed to provide developers with more interface information about a range of products including Windows Server and Office.
Meanwhile, microchip giant Intel has been sued by US competition authority the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It accuses Intel of using its dominance in the market to prevent innovation and limit competition from smaller firms. Intel said the FTC's case was misguided.

Hartford - House Speaker Brendan Sharkey and members of the Municipal Opportunities Regional Efficiencies Commission want to lower the vehicle property tax rate beginning next year.
"The local motor vehicle property tax is the most regressive tax on the books, so we would like to put in place a plan beginning next year that will start to ratchet down mill rates on cars," Sharkey, D-Hamden, said in an email.
After Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposed phasing out the vehicle property tax starting July 1 of this year, municipal leaders protested, saying they would lose $633 million in annual revenue. In response, the Finance, Bonding and Revenue Committee pushed the vehicle property tax issue back to 2018 in a bill that passed out of committee last month.
However, the MORE Commission, which was re-established this year by Sharkey and is tasked with saving taxpayers money and creating municipal efficiencies, has continued working on the car tax and related municipal tax issues.
Starting July 1, 2014, no municipality would be able to raise its tax rate for motor vehicles above 80 mills, according to a proposal from the commission's Municipal Tax Authority working group. For the following fiscal year, starting July 1, 2015, no municipality would be able to raise the rate above 72 mills. As of now, motor vehicle property tax rates range from 10.2 mills in Salisbury to 74.29 mills in Hartford.
The tax rate would be reduced gradually until it declines to zero in 2023, according to the proposal. Towns that are already at the rate on the scale for a specific year would not have to modify until the following year. For example, Groton's tax rate, 20.22 mills, would not have to decrease until July 1, 2021, because the tax rate would not be pushed below 20.22 mills until then, according to the proposal.
To make up for the loss in revenue to municipalities, the proposal calls for the state to set up a Municipal Reimbursement and Revenue Account. Fees collected from the registration of antique, rare and special-interest motor vehicles would be deposited into this account.
Currently, the registration fee for antique or Early American vehicles is $80 every two years, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles website. In fiscal year 2012, $2.3 million was collected from registrations of Early American vehicles, said Ernie Bertothy, spokesman for the DMV. Another $63,638 was collected from a one-time $7 fee for purchasing the Early American license plate, he said.
Owners of such vehicles benefit because now, a vehicle registered as an antique can't be assessed at more than $500 for tax purposes, said working group chairman and state Rep. Jeffrey Berger, D-Waterbury. This would change as of Oct. 1, 2015, when antique vehicles could be assessed at values up to $2,500, according to the proposal.
The state currently has 51,094 registered Early American vehicles, Bertothy said. Under the proposal, the definition of an Early American vehicle - currently, one that is at least 20 years old - would change on Oct. 1, 2015, to reduce the number of vehicles eligible for this tax break. After that date, the vehicle would need to be at least 30 years old. This would reduce the number of qualifying vehicles to about 40,000, Berger said.
Once the overall motor vehicle property tax rate reaches zero, Berger said, the plan would be to eliminate the supplement to municipalities from the antique car registration fee or to come up with a new supplement.
"The governor created the discussion and the speaker was supportive of the idea, but wants to look at a way where revenue could be distributed back and slowly weaned off over time," Berger said.
Stonington tax collector Gisela Harma, who participated in the working group, said the leaders originally considered having the same tax rate across the state, but dropped that idea.
She said she is unsure whether elminating the vehicle tax would ever happen. She said she recognized that lowering the vehicle property tax means replacing the tax with something else.
We will have to "replace revenue with some other form of taxation," Harma said. But the commission wants time to look at how to do that, she said.

I think what I like best about Rudy is that after the 2008 Presidential nomination, Rudy found out that his views on economic and defense issues are shared by most Republicans and his views on social issues are not, but instead of going Charlie Crist on us and sucking up to Democrats as a independent, he keeps his mouth shut on social issues and is always there to support conservatives on the issues we have in common with him. And his Republican National Committee keynote speech introducing Sarah Palin was dynamite, too.
Rudy's too out of the mainstream for us to accept him as a national conservative candidate, but he's a good asset on issues like this - not exactly one of us, but a reliable and valuable ally.
Which is most likely why the Muslim extremists waited until he was out of office to put this project in the light.
Giuliani is no coward, whatever else he may be.
Notice he uses a spokesman so there is no audio of him opposing it.
"The reality is that right now, if you are a healer, you do not go forward with this project. If you're a warrior you do," declared Mr. Giuliani.Returning the check of that jihadist sphincter from Shariahland should have put G's face on Mount Rushmore. :') Thanks GOP_Lady.
I have my problems with Rudy, but is there any doubt he would have been a better president than McCain.A President McCain would have been no different or better than our current Imam-In-Chief. At least in the long run. And on some issues (amnesty), maybe even the short run.
A President Giuliani would have been substantially different and hugely better than our current Imam-In-Chief. On some issues (especially fiscal ones) he would have been as good as we could expect from any of the candidates running for the Republican nomination in 2008... maybe even the best.
But he never had a chance. Not with the poor electoral strategy he choose early in the campaign. His failure is his own fault... and our loss.
Having read the Constitution front to back many times I have yet to find the clause that says I have a Constitutional right not to be offended. If the Muslims have the Constitutional right to build on their site - as Giuliani says - then any talk about 'sensitivity' or 'consideration' is nothing but crap, and any appeal to it is a waste of time.

Blackberry's parent company Research in Motion has since issued a statement to UK media outlets, stating that the company would comply with British law and hand over encrypted information from its system to authorities. The company also took to Twitter Monday night, stating, "We feel for those impacted by the riots in London. We have engaged with the authorities to assist in any way we can."
A group known as TeaMp0isoN hacked RIM's Inside Blackberry blog Tuesday by posting a message to the Canadian company on the blog threatening to attack innocent civilians who own Blackberry smartphones and releasing RIM employees' personal information. It is not known if the hackers succeeded due to a software security fault or if an administrator's passwords were compromised.
Authorities are also taking advantage of the web to make arrests of those involved in the chaos. The London Metropolitan Police have posted photos of suspected looters on Flickr, asking the public to help identify those photographed, and a Catch a Looter blog page was created on Tumblr for a similar purpose.

Hans Holbein the Younger was one of the most accomplished and widely-traveled artists of northern Europe in the first half of the sixteenth century, whose work engaged closely with the cultural changes brought about by the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. He was born in Augsburg, worked for many years in the prosperous Swiss city of Basel, traveled in France and possibly Italy, and finally became a portraitist and court artist for Henry VIII in England. He produced some of the most memorable and influential artistic works of the era, including portraits of Erasmus and Henry VIII, the paintings Dead Christ in the Tomb and The Ambassadors, and two major print cycles, the Dance of Death and …

Now that we've gotten the inevitable tea party pun out of the way, here's the newsy bit: According to the astute analysis of Salon's Gabriel Winant, the relationship between the GOP's powers that be and certain sachet-carrying members of the tea party has grown a bit, er, strained of late ... all right, that's enough. Here's the story. —KA
But in wielding the Tea Party as a rhetorical cudgel against the president and his party, elite Republicans made a crucial miscalculation. By making the approval of the Tea Partiers the measure of legitimacy, they entrusted their own fate to this new group of activists. And now the establishment of the GOP is stuck trying to wrest control of the party back from these ruffians, whom they wanted to exploit without actually empowering.
Out of North Carolina today, there's a story about Republican leaders trying to put the skids under the congressional campaign of Tea Party candidate Tim D'Annunzio, who's running to challenge vulnerable Democratic incumbent Rep. Larry Kissell. The state Republican Party has been publicizing D'Annunzio's past run-ins with the law and his questionable sanity. Apparently, the guy went through a phase in the 1990s in which he claimed to be the messiah and had a lot of theories about the Ark of the Covenant, 1,000-mile-high pyramids, the New Jerusalem—you get the picture.
The GOP's friction with North Carolina tea party candidate Tim D'Annunzio (pictured here) is not an isolated phenomenon, according to Salon's Gabriel Winant.

ellie_ , you have a winner here. Not a fan of fish, but a great fan of tacos. Another reviewer pointed the way...and I found peace for fish. This was excellent. I didn't change anything...except I grilled inside. That's it. The sauce. Excellent. The salad/compote? Excellent! The fish...oh I wish I could swim like a fish. You have a won on this recipe, ellie! Keep it up! Loved, loved, loved.
This recipe is going into my best of the best file! I loved these fish tacos. I was a bit skeptical, too. I normally top my fish tacos with a slaw and avocado. I ended up loving the cucumber relish. It worked so well with the mayo/sour cream mixture and the salsa with serrano peppers. By the way, I loved the serrano pepper added to the salsa - it made such a difference! Also, I don't normally care for corn tortillas but grilling them made all the difference in the world. They were awesome here. I only made one change, I used tilapia. Thank you for a fabulous recipe!
Awesome recipe. I only gave it 4 stars because I didnt stick to the recipe. I put my own spin on things like using Tilapia, and instead of just using chili powder, I also used taco seasoning, then baked it in the oven @400 for 5-7 mins. Now with my dressing, I added a little dill (cause it goes great with fish) and garlic powder just because I love it. And with my relish, well it really wasn't a relish. I just chopped up a cucumber, a tomato, red onion, avocado, lettuce and kept it all on the side so that my family could pick and choose what they wanted to put on the taco(which by the way I used muli grain wraps)Oh and I didn't use any salsa cause we didn't have any in the house. Over all it came out fantastic. If i never saw this recipe I would never have been able to figure out a yummy way to put one of these together,Thanks for posting it. Defiantly a keeper
Nice fish recipe! Since it is snowy and icy out, I used the grill pan on the stove top. I used mahi-mahi. Thanks for sharing!
These are delicious! I made this recipe for the Best of 2010 game and it's a keeper. Healthy as posted and next time I have it, I think I'll add a little shredded lettuce or cabbage to make it a bit more filling. Only change I made was to use a jalapeno pepper instead of the serrano.
This recipe is the new definition of tasty. Where are the other stars. It deserves at least 10. I used tilapia for my fish and cooked it on the George Foreman grill. I also cut this down to 1 serving and let me tell you there was enough for two. I used one corn and one flour tortillas. I'm not crazy about corn tortillas but I have to admit that they were excellent for these fish tacos. The whole dish was so delicious but the relish really stood out. I did calculate the points for WW and it's 9. Not to bad for 2 tacos that really fill you up. This is a keeper and it's going in my best of 2010 cookbook. Thanks every so much for posting. :)
Used Cod because it was on sale and flour tortillas because we already had them. These are so flavorful and amazing! Better than any from all the restaurants I have tried.

Bluetooth Net Monitor
Zak Kemble builded a network monitor device able to show basic network statistics on a small LCD screen. He writes:
Whenever I want to see why a download is going a little slow or getting lag on an online game I'd have to log in to my routers web page or SSH in to see if its someone else in the house downloading/uploading, the net connection going wonky or just the server, this was a bit annoying to do, so I made this device to constantly show network statistics.

I think it's really hard to write a love story that feels different from all those love stories that have already been written. How to make your love story offer something unusual to readers? Well, some authors solve that problem by making one of their falling-in-love characters a sparkly vampire hottie. That is not what Pete Hautman did. He did something cooler. He made his characters normal. Very normal.
I love this idea.
I love this idea because it is true. Normal people fall in love. Their stories deserve to be told every bit as much as the stories of sparkly vampire hotties. The awesome miracle of love is in no way enhanced by characters' sparkly-ness. Love is awesome no matter what. I promise that when you read The Big Crunch, you will be convinced that normal, non-sparkly love, is wonderful, and not in a cheesy way.
(Just in case you can't tell, I'm kind of in love with this book).
June moves around a lot because of her dad's work. When she ends up in Minnesota, she's less than thrilled ("it's the frozen asshole of the universe"). She loathes the place, but the people are okay, just like everywhere else she's ever lived. June doesn't plan on making too many connections because she figures she's just going to have to leave again soon, so why go through the hassle of getting close to anybody. Then along comes Wes. It is not love at first sight. It just works it way towards happening, and when it does, it's intense. As June predicted, it isn't long before it looks like she'll be moving again. June and Wes aren't sure what's going to happen next. (And I'm not telling. You have to read it to find out).
The Big Crunch is perfect and funny and charming in the way that a great indie movie love story is perfect and funny and charming. It reminded me of 500 Days of Summer, another "this is not a love story" love story. It'll make you remember that love doesn't have to be sparkly to be interesting. Highly recommended.
The Big Crunch is published by Scholastic. Perfect for your Valentine, I'd say.
One more thing - I think this is the first time I've noticed anything like this, but there seems to be an error on the jacket of the book. On my copy, it refers to "Jen and Wes" but the characters inside the book and June and Wes. Weird.

Standing Tall: Fabulous Floor Mirrors
Nightwood, was distressed by hand. It goes so well with the rest of the refurbished furniture. New York Times • 2 A Mad Tea Party With Alis. I can't get over how stunning this mirror is. I have never seen anything like it. It looks like something out of an old hospital or clinic. And beyond how cool it looks, how great (if alarming) would it be to have a stylish three-way mirror for trying on clothes? • 3 Automatism. Perhaps my favorite of the bunch, I just love this gorgeous floor mirror, with its delicate frame and elegant curved top. • 4 Skona Hem. This look is popular these days--a large floor mirror leaning against the wall. • 5 Inspired Design. This ornate theatrical and enormous mirror is a dramatic antidote to the decidedly modern tables and chairs. SECOND ROW • 6 This is Glamorous. Here, a groovy masculine modern sofa sits in front of a very intricately carved and impossibly tall and thin antique mirror. A great contrast! • 7 Minted Life. A chunky oversized mirror made from repurposed salvaged wood. Sources: As credited above.

Fothergilla (witch alder) is a genus of two or three species of flowering plants in the family Hamamelidaceae, native to woodland and swamps of the southeastern United States.
They are low-growing deciduous shrubs growing to 1–3 m (3–10 ft) tall with downy twigs. The brush-like flowers are produced before the leaves in spring on terminal spikes; they do not have any petals, but a conspicuous cluster of white stamens 2–3 cm long. The leaves are alternate, broad ovoid, 4–10 cm long and 3–8 cm broad, with a coarsely toothed margin; they are noted for their brilliant orange or red fall colors. [1]
- Species
- Fothergilla gardenii dwarf witch alder
- †Fothergilla malloryi (Extinct, Ypresian, Klondike Mountain Formation)[2][3]
- Fothergilla major large witch alder
- Fothergilla monticola Alabama witch alder; commonly included in F. major
The genus was named in honor of John Fothergill (physician).
Cultivation and uses[edit]
Fothergillas are grown as ornamental plants for their spring flowers and fall foliage color. They are slow-growing, rarely exceeding 1–2 m tall in cultivation.

New Glock owner. Question.

> New Glock owner. Question.
April 3, 2005, 04:39 AM
I just purchased my first Glock, a G21 specifically. When I lock the slide back, I notice that the barrel tilts upwards slightly. Is this normal? My 1911 doesn't do this. Thanks.

If I remember correctly the Glock I used to have did the same thing. Its weird but so are Glocks in general. Great guns still.
April 3, 2005, 04:58 AM
That is pretty strange. Oh well. As long as it shoots straight and is reliable. Thanks for the reply.

April 3, 2005, 05:10 AM
Yup its normal. No need to worry about it.
Sigs do the same thing, but not as apparent...
April 3, 2005, 11:41 AM
no its not normal you need to take it to your local gunsmith and have him pinn it in place :) just kidding it usses the browning / petter system to unlock/lock the breech in place its normal
April 3, 2005, 12:26 PM
Yes it's normal, and also you're wrong, your 1911 DOES/did do it, you just didn't notice it since the angle was less. :)
The Glock uses the "Browning tilting-barrel lockup" which Browning basically invented in the course of evolution of the 1911 pistol, starting with the Browning 1905 model.
April 3, 2005, 06:11 PM
Thanks again for the responses, guys.
April 5, 2005, 07:26 AM
all glocks do that, very normal. other guns do that same thing, some more that others. :)
April 5, 2005, 08:07 AM
Enjoy your new GLOCK.
Otherwise, send it here, and I'LL enjoy it!
(Send ammo.... :neener: )
My GLOCKs do the same thing, as do my 1911s, and my XD.
No problem.
(YIPPEE!!) A question I know the answer to!.
I'm late, as usual, but I'm not passing up the opportunity! :)

Man accused of taking cell phoneJuly 24,2013Man accused of
taking cellphone
BENNINGTON A Manchester resident was charged with a felony after a woman told police he took her cellphone.
Christopher J. Stevens, 21, of Manchester pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of larceny from a person.
Officer Christopher Mason of the Manchester Police Department said Taylor Kristiansen told him May 17 that Stevens had taken her cellphone earlier that day.
Kristiansen told police Stevens spit in her face and forced her to the ground before taking the phone.
Mason said Stevens admitted to taking the phone. Stevens told Mason he was concerned because Kristiansen had gone out and come back all messed up on something so he wanted to know with whom she had been talking, according to the court affidavit.
Stevens was released without bail Monday but ordered not to have contact with Kristiansen.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont State Colleges System Board of Trustees voted unanimously Thursday to...

The Randall volleyball team is wasting little time continuing on its path toward another Region I-4A title.
After thrashing Plainview in a bidistrict sweep Tuesday, the No. 4 Lady Raiders (38-3) turn around and face El Paso Riverside at 6:30 p.m. today at Andrews HS in a Region I-4A area playoff.
"We don't know a whole lot about Riverside other than they were the district champions," Randall coach Jason Culpepper said. "They have a big middle blocker like Frenship does, so we know they go to her a lot."
The Lady Raiders have installed some new plays to their offensive system, but never really had a chance to unveil them against the Lady Bulldogs.
"Our offense is getting to where we want it to be," Culpepper said. "It was a little quirky against Plainview and we didn't have a whole lot of good rhythm, but I think it was just kind of first-game playoff jitters, but we were able to get out of it and play pretty well."
Plainview also had a difficult time getting its offense going against Randall, putting itself in a hole with hitting errors and bad passing.
"Our blocking seems to be coming around," Culpepper said. "We've worked really hard on our blocking but we didn't get a lot of shots on us which made it hard to tell how good our block actually was. But when they did get some swings in we were able to put up a good block."
Some aggressive serving also helped the Lady Raiders lately, including three aces Tuesday from junior Aubree Piper.
"She's coming along well on her serves, and being tall helps her with those long arms." Culpepper said. "But she's really our leader on the front row too, and she has the best serving percentage on the team. She's the type of player that leads by example a lot. She's a little shy and we'd like for her to lead more by yelling but she does what she can and is a primary source of energy for us when she gets going."
Also in action today is Fort Elliott, the District 5-1A champion, which will face Petrolia at 6 p.m. today at Vernon HS.
