An absolutely wonderful vacation unit in Kailua-Kona! The owners have thought of everything you may need during your stay. This unit had everything a hotel would provide and more! A washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, beach provisions (chairs, umbrellas, cooler, toys), WiFi, shampoo/conditioner, bath gel,etc. The unit is extremely spacious allowing for maximum R&R.; The location is ideal and provides many other recreational opportunities within walking distance. Dennis and Cheryl are very responsive and accommodating -- the perfect hosts. We would definitely recommend this unit to our friends and family. Thank you Dennis, Cheryl and Shawn for a wonderful weekend getaway!

I have been to Kona many times and choose to return to Na Hale O Keauhou for many reasons - location and price being the main ones. I have 3 kids and the comfort of a condo with the full kitchen and washer/dryer are priceless! Pack light and enjoy the vacation. The owners of this unit J-3 were very accomodating and the whole process was very easy. The unit is well-appointed and we enjoyed the gas BBQ on the patio. Very close to the beach, golf course and supermarket. Decent pool and workout gym. We plan on returning!
Nice location but several maintenance and cleanliness issues

The condo was in a very nice location, close to shopping and a very good snorkel beach. However, the condo was in pretty poor condition when we arrived. First, the condo was overrun with sugar ants due to a container of sugar left on the counter. Even after Terminex came we still had a significant amount of ants throughout the condo. Also, the sliding glass door latch in the living room was broken and would never lock and one side of the blinds on the sliding glass door was broken. The vents and fans were covered in a thick layer of dust so bad that we couldn't keep them on because of all the dust that filled the room. In addition, the refrigerator door handle came off, which we fixed, and the upstairs master bedroom toilet was broken when we arrived, which we also fixed. The toilet in the second bathroom upstairs also constantly ran throughout our stay.

What's spinning, October 14 editionWednesday, October 14th, 2009
Been a while. What have I been listening to?
The answer is, "not much." My appetite for new music has taken a pretty steep nose-dive this year as I've immersed myself in photography. My appetite for live music has remained unchanged, though, or even increased a bit. But I haven't bought all that much new music this year. That said, here's what I've been enjoying recently…
- Anti-Pop Consortium - Fluorescent Black — Anything new from these guys is welcome; I was never all that taken by any of the side projects since their 2002 breakup (not counting the sublime Antipop Vs. Matthew Shipp). On initial listens, this sounds pretty great although perhaps not quite up to the lofty standards of Tragic Epilogue and Arrhythmia.
- Baroness - Blue Record — Just massive, massive praise for this one from metal critics. I've listened to it streaming on Myspace a couple times and don't see it yet. Good stuff but hardly amazing. Red Album - which I loved - seemed more coherent and compelling to me, but perhaps this just needs more listens.
- Do Make Say Think - Other Truths — This on the other hand is fantastic. I've had one listen to a pre-release copy and it sounds like an absolute must-buy. Four long tracks in the classic DMST mold: laid-back, melodic, slightly repetitive post-rock that is somehow beautiful, sublime, and never boring.
- Echoes of Eternity - As Shadows Burn — Female-fronted melodic metal whom I first heard on tour with Unexpect; their first album was absolutely laughable, but this is actually pretty decent. Lots more substance here and Francine Boucher's voice is integrated into the music instead of floating weirdly on top of it all. Still not anything I would call great, but a quantum leap forward from Forgotten Goddess, which is better left forgotten.
- The Faceless - Planetary Duality — Since this young tech-death band has attached itself to seemingly every major U.S. death metal tour of 2009, I've already seen them live three times this year. So I figured I'd pick up their record; it's solid technical metal with a few standout tracks like the amazing "Xenochrist." Soon enough they'll be headlining their own tour.
- General Surgery - Corpus In Extremis: Analysing Necrocriticism — One of my new discoveries from Maryland Deathfest this year; this is a solid, if unspectacular, record full of slightly grindy gore/death metal. "Solid, if unspectacular" is more than enough to make General Surgery stand out from a sea of utterly mediocre goregrind bands.
- The National - Boxer — My main discovery from this year's Virgin FreeFest. I love their laid-back, tastefully orchestrated take on indie-rock, and vocalist Matt Berninger's deep croon suits them perfectly and sets them apart a bit.
- Om - God Is Good — As it turns out, Om without drummer Chris Hakius is still Om. Pretty solid album spiced up by the appearance of new instruments like tamboura, flute and, in an absolutely genius moment, Mellotron. Check out my review at the City Paper.
- Ra Ra Riot - The Rhumb Line — Melodic, slightly sappy indie-pop, helped by some excellent contributions from a cellist and violinist. Like Cloud Cult but with fewer awkward melodies and vocal lines; this is a really promising debut.
- Shpongle - Are You Shpongled? — This is hardly new, but I found myself spinning it on a long drive recently. Upbeat electronic music, kind of like if Ozric Tentacles just took the techno-ish parts of The Hidden Step or Waterfall Cities, and made a whole album out of them.
- Spunk - Kantarell — I've always found Spunk to be one of Maja Ratkje's more accessible projects. This one is soundscapey, almost relaxing at times, with acoustic instruments peeking in through the electronics at refreshing intervals. I like to imagine that astronauts landing on an alien planet and turning on their radios might hear something like this.

Economic growth expected to slow in New EnglandStaff, wire reports | November 17,2013Federal spending cuts and reduced consumer demand are slowing economic growth in New England, according to new projections, but Vermonts outlook is among the best in the region.
The report by the New England Economic Partnership, a nonprofit group that provides analyses and forecasts, said economic growth of 3 percent through 2017 is less than whats considered even moderate.
Mathew Barewicz, economic and labor market information chief for the Vermont Department of Labor, argued that other states would be expected to have higher growth rates coming out of the recession because they have more to recover than Vermont does.
Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts are expected to continue to boast the strongest economies in the region in the next four years.
In addition, employment growth of 2 percent in the six New England states will be below the national average. Massachusetts has recovered jobs lost in the 18-month recession from December 2007 to June 2009 and Vermont will soon follow.
Barewicz pointed out that Vermont was currently tied for the fifth-lowest unemployment rate in the country.
Vermont was definitely hit during this last recession but we were not hit as hard as a number of other states and we have weathered the storm fairly well, he said.
Ross Gittell, manager of the New England forecast, said the greater Boston area has been a bright spot in the New England economy, leading the region in job growth and more than recovering the jobs lost in the recession.
The strong Boston economy also has propelled Massachusetts to lead New England states in economic performance, he said. About one-third of the states jobs recovery can be attributed to employment gains in the Boston metropolitan area.
Barewicz said Burlington, which could be considered Vermonts equivalent of Boston, was also doing well.
Boston has certainly experienced a lot of job growth ... as has Burlington in the labor market area, he said. When you look at the Burlington labor market area, that area is well beyond where it was in 2007. Its 2 to 3 percent above where it was.
While Barewicz said Vermont has still not recovered all the jobs lost since 2007, the state is less than 1 percent away from that recovery goal.
Vermonts diversified economy, which includes manufacturing, private and public education, health care and leisure and hospitality, keeps it from experiencing the extreme up and down swings seen in other states, he said.
With slow employment growth elsewhere in the region, the unemployment rate in New England is expected to decline gradually, from 6.7 percent in this years third quarter to 6.4 percent in late 2014 and to below 6 percent in the first quarter of 2016.
Unemployment in 2017 is expected to be lowest in Vermont (3.7 percent) and New Hampshire (3.3 percent). Joblessness is expected to be 6.1 percent in Rhode Island and 6 percent in Maine. Connecticut is expected to have the regions highest unemployment rate, 6.5 percent, by 2017.
The regions unemployment rate in mid-2017 is expected to be 5.4 percent. Thats a significant decline from the peak of 8.7 percent in 2010, but still above the pre-recession rate of 5 percent in the second quarter of 2008.

Board member steps down, adding wrinkle to voting
BARRE TOWN The abrupt resignation of one Select Board member has created an unexpected wrinkle in the run-up to the towns May 13 elections.
Selectman Jeff Newton emailed his letter of resignation effective immediately to Town Clerk Donna Kelty on Tuesday afternoon. The letter arrived hours before the board was scheduled to approve the warning for next months municipal elections and less than 24 hours after Mondays deadline for filing nominating petitions.
Town Manager Carl Rogers said Kelty contacted the towns attorney, Mike Monte, to determine what to do about the newly created vacancy.
According to Rogers, Montes advice was to let voters select Newtons replacement even though there are no announced candidates for the year remaining on his three-year term.
Its going to have to be a write-in, Rogers said, explaining that whoever receives the most write-in votes provided that person receives at least 30 of them will earn the right to serve out the balance of Newtons term.
Had Newton resigned a day or two earlier, a prospective candidate might have been able to collect enough signatures to appear on next months ballot. If his resignation had arrived a day later the warning would already have been finalized and his replacement would have been appointed by the four remaining board members to serve until the next election, which would have been May 12, 2015.
However, Rogers said that after consulting the town charter, Monte concluded that the next election in this case is next month and, because the warning wasnt signed, the year remaining of Newtons term should be added to the short list of other offices that voters will fill next month.
None of those races is contested, and two of the candidates whose names will appear on the ballot Tom White and Jack Mitchell are running unopposed for separate seats on the Select Board.
Mitchell, a former board member, is running for the seat held by Greg Donahue. Donahue announced weeks ago he would be stepping down when his two-year term expires next month.
White, a local justice of the peace and former member of the towns budget committee, is running for the three-year seat held by the boards chairman, Jay Perkins. Perkins didnt announce his intentions and did not file nominating petitions before Mondays deadline.
Unless Perkins is written in and agrees to serve out the balance of Newtons term, the five-member board will have three new members a month from now. Mitchell, White and a successful write-in candidate, if there is one, will join Jeff Blow and Rob LaClair.
Timing aside, Newtons resignation came as a surprise to most board members, who learned that he had stepped down when they arrived for Tuesday nights meeting.
In a letter he emailed to Kelty and Rogers informing them of his decision, Newton cited time constraints and a busy work schedule.
I cannot fully execute the position of selectman at this time with the other commitments in my life both personal and professional, he wrote. As you know, working an hour out of town, running two businesses of my own, and trying to have some sort of personal life has taken its toll on me, and unfortunately I feel the need to re-prioritize things in my life.
Newton, who indicated his resignation was effective immediately, did not attend Tuesdays meeting.
The board accepted his resignation and finalized the warning for the May 13 elections. That warning includes a $2,608,900 highway fund budget, a $3,296,086 general fund budget, and an additional $20,730 appropriation for the operation of the town cemeteries.

quote:For me, I think the lack of information was scarier than the facts. It was a relief afterward to get statistics and details about PE here, and to talk to my new doctors about why different decisions might have been made, even to realize how much worse it could have been. My feelings were probably influenced by concerns re: medical care generally (family history of medical mistakes), but those last couple of months, I would have given anything to have had someone sit down (without looking at their watch, without one foot out the door) and say, "here is everything we know about the disease and your current symptoms. Here are the reasons I'm recommending XYZ, and here's why I feel it's the least risky course of action for you and baby." At the time, it felt like information was kept from us, and I've never felt more helpless.

What's on: Minerals: featuring the Albert Chapman collection
**Please note: Temporarily closed for upgrade, reopening late Dec 2016.**
- Event Type:
- Everyday event
- Time:
- Temporarily closed for upgrade, reopening late Dec 2016.
- Admission:
- Free after admission
Step into a glittering world of colour and light in this stylishly presented mineral exhibition that features some of the finest mineral specimens in the world.
Many of the minerals in this collection, which was acquired by the Museum in 1995, are considered among the best specimens ever found. The collection is world renowned for its mineralogical diversity, crystal perfection, aesthetic appeal and high Australian content.
All minerals are spectacularly lit, showing off their fine features, breathtaking colours and unique characteristics. They are testament to former carpenter and builder, Albert Chapman's life-long love affair with minerals.
Things to do
- Experience sparkling gems in diverse colours and shapes within three main contemporary showcases. Take the time to view priceless minerals and gems 'up close and personal'.
- See the finest Australian minerals up close. Half of the collection is Australian, with one quarter from Broken Hill, NSW. Many of these outstanding specimens are the best ever to be found in this famous district.
- Examine beautiful classic minerals from old European, African and American localities and specimens from famous collections and with interesting pedigrees - some passed from one institution to another for over 100 years.
- Be inspired to start your own collection and learn how addictive it is to study the beauty and geological value of mineral crystals!
- Browse through the AM Store on your way out and pick up a mineral gift or gift about the natural world including books, toys and games, and the Museum's official souvenir guidebook. Great for kids' presents, local and international tourists, or as a treat for yourself.
Touch table alert!
Look out for the special touch table in this exhibition, it features special pieces from our collection that both little and big kids are encouraged to touch, feel and examine at close range. Chat with trained staff about the specimens and catch up on the Museum's latest research work.

13. Carolina Panthers (5-3)
Carolina has won four straight, scoring between 30 and 35 points and allowing between 10 and 15 points in each of the four games. Impressive, yes. But each win came against teams with losing records. Let's see how the Panthers fare this Sunday in San Francisco. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
14. New York Jets (5-4)
The Jets have alternated wins and losses for the first nine weeks of their season, tying the 2005 Patriots for the longest such streak in league history. This record, however, is one the Jets don't want to break. They next play at Buffalo on Nov. 17. (Photo by Ron Antonelli/Getty Images)

With Denver looming, a win over the Redskins is something the Chargers desperately needed. It's also something they didn't get. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

Arizona comes off the bye with both impressive wins and eye-sore losses on its resume. Still, the playoffs are within striking distance. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
18. Cleveland Browns (4-5)
Cleveland snapped its 11-game losing streak to the Ravens and finally got a win without Brian Hoyer. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)
19. Philadelphia Eagles (4-5)
In Week 1, Peyton Manning became the sixth quarterback in NFL history to throw for seven touchdowns in a game. This past Sunday, Nick Foles became the seventh. (Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images)
20. Baltimore Ravens (3-5)
Baltimore has lost three straight and four of five. Average margin of defeat in those four losses? Three-and-a-half points. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)
21. Washington Redskins (3-5)
RG3 has been up and down this year, but the ground game has been stellar. The Redskins' 12 rushing touchdowns are tied for second in the league. (Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images)
22. Oakland Raiders (3-5)
Oakland became the first team to allow two receivers (DeSean Jackson and Riley Cooper) to top 130 yards in a game since Green Bay in 2004, when the Packers gave up 161 and 156, respectively, to . . . the Eagles' Terrell Owens and Brian Westbrook. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

24. Houston Texans (3-5)
Incredibly unfortunate loss for the Texans, who led 21-3 at halftime. Thankfully, Gary Kubiak appears all right. (Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)
25. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-6)
Three Big Ben turnovers sullied a 400-yard, four-touchdown day. Then again, where was the defense? The 55 points allowed to the Patriots were the most in franchise history. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)

28. New York Giants (2-6)
With their next three games at home (against Oakland, Green Bay and Dallas), the Giants aren't completely out of it. (Photo by Rich Schultz /Getty Images)
29. Buffalo Bills (3-6)
Buffalo outgained Kansas City 470-210, but you can't turn the ball over three times. And if you do, you can't allow two of them to be returned for touchdowns. Game. Over. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Images)
30. Minnesota Vikings (1-7)
The Vikings lost in the final minute for the third time this season. That's the difference between 4-3 and 1-7. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-8)
The Bucs ran the ball on 65 percent of their plays through three quarters against Seattle – and it worked, as they led 24-14. In the fourth quarter and overtime, however, they ran the ball on just 25 percent of their plays. Yeah, that didn't work as well. Tampa Bay is 0-8 for the first time since 1985.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-8)

A La Crosse woman at the center of one of our favorite "In Search of" stories of all time, passed away suddenly last week.
Jean Vaughn Favre wore her heart on her sleeve. She welcomed so many people into her home over the years and treated them all like family. In fact she was known by many as Mama Favre.
As a tribute to Jean and all the people that loved her, we wanted to give you another look at the story and the amazing woman who will be missed my so many.
If you would like to send your condolences to the Favre family, you can go to Blaschke & Schneider Funeral Homes's website.
A funeral will be held for her on Friday. Jean Vaughn Favre was 62-years-old.

Presented to Congress on a "Vote 'aye' for this so you can have a chance to read it" basis, this bill was passed by Congress without thought or reflection. To my knowledge, no thorough, systematic, complete review of what this bill will and will not do has ever been presented to the American people.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Lancaster County for enjoying our nation's Independence Day celebrations without experiencing a highway fatality within our county.
It is very rewarding to see your cooperation through utilizing safe driving practices, which can save your life and mine.
Unfortunately, not all our friends and neighbors practice safe driving habits. Speeding, seat-belt violations and DUI are all things that troopers dealt with over the holiday period.
I have been learning more and more about how many state, county, local and school administrators are actually being paid a salary that is tens of thousands of dollars more than the state governor is paid.
If you ask me – and hopefully the over-whelming majority of tax payers feel the same way – this is an absolute waste of taxpayer dollars and probably one of the main reasons why taxes are so high and continuing to go up.
A great big thank you to Dr. Lee Thomas for his very informative article about Obamacare in his guest column, "Medical care in America has reached crossroads," in the July 11 edition of The Lancaster News. It's great to hear an analysis that does not contain politicized comments and viewpoints.
It would be good to hear assessments of Obamacare from other physcians and health-care providers.

Dr. Lee Thomas' guest column, "Medical care in America has reached crossroads," in the July 11 edition of The Lancaster News was excellent and confirms another article I read regarding Massachusetts. It states that 98 percent of Massachusetts' residents now do have health-care coverage. However, one in seven cannot find a doctor.
This letter is to the people who constantly run the stop sign on West Doc Garris Road at the railroad tracks. I have good and bad news for you. The highway patrol said that they can't do anything about it because there are only two patrolmen in the county, The bad news is that I am tired of almost being hit by you when I try to turn left.
If you don't have time to stop, try leaving home two minutes earlier.
Paul Williams
This is in response to Indian Land resident Beverly Lynch's guest column, "Are any public servants willing to help public?" in the June 15 edition of The Lancaster News.
Lynch mentioned that Moni Basu has become her friend. Basu is the CNN reporter who cast Lancaster as a downtrodden, backward and desolate town in her January article, "In hard-hit S.C. town, faith and finances fuel political decisions."
I now feel sorry for Ms. Basu. With friends like Ms. Lynch, who needs...

Editor's note: Jaylen Jackson, 3, was killed when she got caught in the crossfire of a gunfight in May 2010.
I want to address Sonny Plyler's letter, "Justice system allows criminals free rein" about the justuce system in the July 1 edition of The Lancaster News. I totally agree. We need to replace judges and solicitors.
I sat through the trial of the two men who were involved in my 3-year-old grandbaby's death.
The judge and the solicitor were pathetic. The outcome of the trial was sickening.
I was delighted that Karen White, the ministries director of community and spiritual development for Inspiration Ministries, learned of the desperate need facing HOPE in Lancaster and decided to do something about it.
The response was great from the employees and the Cerullos, who also contributed a generous gift.
I too have supported HOPE. I think Elaine Adkins and her staff have done a remarkable job for Lancaster.
I wish that White would have ventured about 3 miles south of Inspiration Ministries and found the Belair United Methodist Church food bank.
The land between the Indian Land firehouse on Six Mile Creek and Edwards Road was deforested by the contractor who built the new firehouse, in conjunction with a Lancaster County contractor.
I have contacted the federal government, the county government and U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney's office about this.
A total of $1.7 million [from a FEMA grant] was spent on this project and the land was left in disrepair.
We, the citizens, helped pay for that project and we expect the land to be restored to the way it was before.

Mom gives birth at zooDecember 09,2012SYRACUSE, N.Y. A Syracuse zoo got a surprise visit from the stork.
A pregnant mother gave birth on a wildlife path at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo on Friday, delivering her baby girl with the help of zookeepers not far from the bear exhibit.
Zoo educator Liz Schmidt told The Post-Standard, of Syracuse, that she rushed over from the reindeer pen to find the 21-year-old woman pushing the baby out.
Other zoo workers arrived with blankets to keep mom and baby warm.
The zoos elephant expert herded away curious zoo patrons.
An ambulance soon arrived to take the newborn to a hospital.
Zoo Director Ted Fox said the zoo plans to send a gift to the family.MORE IN NewsNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full StoryNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full Story

This high profile fiancee might have some explaining to do to her boyfriend if he finds out about the man she was sleeping with until about a month before her engagement
. Right now she is trying to buy his silence.
to be diff KimKReplyCancel
Clooney's girl. Then again it's not like they were in a long term relationship before the engagement. Not that it makes it right but it sounds like she was keeping her options open.ReplyCancel
I like the KimK guess….ReplyCancel
That's what I was thinking, Vera. I highly doubt the nights she was off with some other guy George sat at home admiring his stamp collection.ReplyCancel
But mostly because I despise her and want her to be exposed as the fraud she is…
Course it's cloonys broad…when you ain't gettin satisfiedwant, seek it elsewhere
Monogamy must b discussed not assumed.ReplyCancel
How long were they dating before engagement? Not long. Maybe she was as shocked as anyone when he started talking about marriage, which may have been about a month before they got formally engaged.ReplyCancel
Probably Amal but I agree with the poster that said she was trying to keep her options open. Good for her!ReplyCancel
Whoever Alamuddin is, I hope she loves publicity. Men who are in the spotlight and intend to remain that way should marry someone who loves having their fashion, hairstyles, figure, and childbearing plans endlessly analyzed. Some women love it; JFK Jr. married a woman who didn't, and she was miserable.
Doesn't seem to be as true for famous women who marry civilian men, or for gay couples.ReplyCancel
Nutty – cue the announcement from her/his camp about how they are private people and she will continue her legal career as has in the past because she is a private person. Maybe this is the perfect contract for Clooney?ReplyCancel
@Texas – I agree that she'll probably continue with her career, at least for awhile. I haven't read much about her, but she seems to be a bit of a showboating type of lawyer anyway, representing prominent clients and relishing the attention. She'll probably be happy to have them report on her courtroom fashion; I'd be shocked if a Vogue profile isn't already in the works.ReplyCancel
She's not a courtroom lawyer, per se. She's held a lot of positions with the UN, including adviser to Kofi Annnan. She's a BFD. No clue how CloonTang landed her.ReplyCancel
I think they're the real deal myself. Cooney ain't marrying for job reasons.ReplyCancel
@Wiglet, you're absolutely right, she's not a run-of-the-mill courtroom lawyer, but she does appear at the International Criminal Court in the Hague. She's defending Gaddafi's former intelligence chief there.ReplyCancel
Kimmykakes. Was hooking up with reggae bush up until a month ago. They were both in la.
Amal. Is straight up c looney beard. He is totes freaking out over this Brian singer lawsuit that his people are going overboard/overdrive to build up his heterosexual image. He is about to be named
He is also getting married on September 12.
Elisabetta. Cannalis. Bday. Nice right
Here's an awesome theory…I think Clooney's fiance was sleeping with Julian Assange. How ironic would it be that she was trying to pay HIM off for silence, huh? Wikileaks, indeed.ReplyCancel
Really doubt Kanyeangelo gives a fuck about KPig's sexual history, just so long as he doesn't have to be a part of it. Ray J wants to give them some of his cut from the sex video as a wedding gift, for fuck's sake. Any normal and straight man would be homicidal over that insult.
Clooney is gay and the engagement is a stunt I'd bet my bicycle on it. He and the lawyer might actually go through with the marriage, but it will be a Travolta/Preston, Smith/Pinkett, Jay Zed/Gimme Her Dessert, Cruise/Rogers-Kidman-Holmes sort of deal. And sugarbread, I hadn't heard anything about George sweating the Bran Singer thing. This is getting interesting.ReplyCancel
And I don't have a guess who it is.ReplyCancel
"CloonTang" made me laugh way too loud for the office.
If Amal is all that smart, why would she go for a bearding job for someone who might be dragged onto the Brian Singer train? Seems like a huge risk for her own career and reputation. She is beautiful, and perhaps they bonded quickly over shared political views and passions, but seems risky if he is truly part of the Singer scandal. Lawyer math would say that doesn't add up.ReplyCancel
Yes. I don't buy for an instant Clooney would ever get married for anything other than wanting to. The man has flaunted for decades his being a happy bachelor. There is no conspiracy theory.ReplyCancel
@Topper, great comment! Assange probably can't use money for much, though. Isn't he still holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London? Maybe she promised to bring him a Mars Bar or something if he would keep quiet about their trysts.ReplyCancel
It was me. You're off the hook. Enjoy the honeymoon. Of course the weekly BJs resume in mid-June.ReplyCancel
kimmie and reggie never got over each other. they are the love of each others lives, but reggie wouldn't have the kartrash circus life and kim refused to give up fame and money for love.. mommy trained fer for gold not heart strings.
bg posted a blind yesterday that all but outed george's complete freakout is b/c of b singer lawsuit and their was another bi on bg about 3 months b4 gc got engaged saying this wife was gonna cost him big$$$ but would be worth it. i went to amal right away
lainey posted yesterday their hitching day was ec bday
Ciara. Lil Kim. Then again, their fiancées wouldn't care.ReplyCancel
Clooney's girl is a beard.ReplyCancel
The Olsen enganged to the French dude?ReplyCancel
Sounds like Clooney and his fiancee. Such a weird relationship there. He has some ulterior motive for doing this.ReplyCancel
I highly doubt that Kimmy Kakes has been only banging 1 dude behind Kanye's back. And the guy might not be blackmailing her. PMK may have just told her to offer him money to keep quiet because they so much invested in this wedding happening.
I hope for a day of cancellation like the Bennifer wedding way back when.ReplyCancel
I'm sorry that I cant remember who came up with KimKardashians new moniker (Harry Knuckes maybe) but I wish we could all use it- little Armenian urinal – or just LAU.ReplyCancel
I will be making this request whenever her name comes up.ReplyCancel
Texas rose you are doing the lord's work on this, but you may want to skip the random photos today.ReplyCancel
I'm all talk Kristin- but will occasionally run it up the flagpole and see if anyone else picks it up. I wish I could remember who used it.ReplyCancel
I'm very impressed with her CV. She's at the top of her game and doesn't need him to boost her career. Maybe that's part of the attraction. When he was first going out with Kiebler he took great pleasure in the fact she could whip his butt in wrestling. I think he's attracted to confident women who have ability. If this is a contract he'd better watch himself as I'm sure she has access to the best in the business. My question is what does SHE get out of it? He gets a beard and deflection from the pool party lawsuit, but what's in it for her? Certainly not romantic love.ReplyCancel
Maureen, she has the Paps following her around and is getting an extended 15 minutes of fame. She sure looks like she is enjoying the attention. Unlike Keibler, she's in a different country where Clooney doesn't have contacts. She can get her sex fix without Clooney knowing.ReplyCancel

Help! How do you know when it's the "right time" to wean? My 16 mo. ds will not take a sippy cup, or a bottle. Also never took a paci. He will drink water from Daddy's glass- but no milk. We are having growth issues (height) and I am confused about when & if to wean. We only nurse one time a day- first thing in the AM when he wakes. And this was child-led weaning, for the most part. I have mixed emotions about completely weaning him from the breast. I am feeling as if I am ready in some ways, but still feel sad and cry when I think about that last time I will nurse him. I don't know if I'll be able to do it.
And, of course, not sure how to eliminate that last feeding. Do I just stop one day? The other morning, he seemed more interested in going downstairs to have is yogurt, fruit & cereal than to nurse. I thought that was a good sign that he may be ready. Any help and advice is appreciated.
thank you!

This is "Keep the Change," a new feature by Nick "The Beer Man" Staskin. Nick is a beer man at Citizens Bank Park; he'll post weekly with observations from the fans at the park, trying to get a good sense of where the Phillies stand in the eyes of those who most matter.
Hello all! Being a Beer man at Citizens Bank Park, I hear a lot while roaming the stands. The boys here at Phillies Nation have given me the opportunity to share with you what other fans are talking, ranting and screaming about on a weekly basis.
We will touch on some of the good stuff, some of the bad stuff and well some of the ridiculous stuff.
Raul Ibanez
I can't remember one player who has won over the fans in a shorter time than RAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUULLLLLLLL.
Since my sections are primarily in left field, it is hard to not hear the love that is crying out for the Phillies new leftfielder. Ibanez is off to a torrid pace and has given the fans something to talk about.
Going into this weekend's series against the Mets, Ibanez is first or second in every offensive category on the team…including stolen bases. The excitement behind the new slugger is certainly justified. However, the thing fans need to remember is that Pat Burrell was notorious for putting up some big Aprils.
If Ibanez can contribute throughout the year and give some well needed protection behind Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth in the 5 and 6 spot in the lineup, the Phillies should have no problem topping last year's run total of 799.
One last tidbit: Ibanez projected totals through April: .359 BA, 57 HR, 138 RBI.
Burrell's projected totals through last April: .326 BA, 48 HR, 144 RBI.
The Pitching
Comeback wins can definitely make you forget that the team has an ERA floundering close to 6.00. While the wins have been exciting, the Phils' pitching has been anything but.
The general consensus seems to be that eventually Cole Hamels will stop getting unlucky, settle down and stop leaving games with freak injuries. Brett Myers has already started to turn it around and keep the ball in the stadium and Jamie Moyer is what he is. Joe Blanton and Chan Ho Park? The fans aren't as optimistic. People seem to think it is only a matter of time before J.A. Happ is in the rotation…but who will he replace? That is anybody's guess. Blanton and Park have been almost equally awful; with Blanton being a tad worse as his WHIP is an awful 1.97.
Best Thing in the Seats This Week?
A sign in section 141 on Wednesday night that a 20-something year old man was holding:
"Thank You Pat…But Rual Is All That"
I'm not sure who Rual is…but the phans sure did get a good laugh out if it…
0 Comments
Thank you "Beer Man" for your column. You are a welcome addition here. When I started reading it and noted "roaming the stands" I thought to myself not another Tom McCarthy type looking for stories with fans and ignoring the game on the field. However, after finish reading, I do sensed your knowledge and sharp perspective on the current situation with the team. Looking forward to your next column.
Honestly, I find it hard to believe the majority of the fans think J.A. Happ will be in the rotation soon… most of them don't even know who he is.
great idea for a new column. and to joshb: most of the fans knew who lou marson was in his first home game this season, of course they know happ.
Gonna have to disagree with you there Josh. Happ was part of a much publicized fight for the fifth and because of that as well as his contributions last year, specifically starting July 4th against Johan, a lot of people know who he is and what he has brought to the table so far.
Josh, you obviously are not a regular on this site. anyone who is, not only knows who Happ is, but what he can bring to the table as a starter, thanks to the day to day reporting on this site, through ST. Beerman, great column…
Btw…. Pats numbers from april of last year are actually better than Ibanez April this year.
Pat has 8 more RBI's, 1 more HR and his GDIP is half of Raul.
Where Raul is better… he strikes out less only 10x compared to PB 18.
And he's faster…He has 3 SB's and a Triple.. Pat had 0's in both..
Also factor that speed into defensive impact…
The true test here is if Ibanez can maintain his performance through the coming months..
People are dumb in general.. (maybe "dumb" is too strong.. but "out of touch")..
My uncle was at the game on Tuesday.. and there were guys behind him wondering why the fans were Booing Raul…
So not all fans are as into the team and stuff as we think.. every REAL fan knows who Happ is though
I agree with Maverick. how quickly people forget what agreat April and May Burrell had. In fact it was better a the plate than Rauuuulllll. The tre tes will be if he can keep a similar pace the whole season. Thats when we'll know if the trade paid off
I think the problem is that people remembered what a great April and May Burrell had, and people thought he was better than he really was…
Burrell is a lifetime .250 hitter, with some pop, and some slumps
I doubt Ibanez is going to hit .350 all season, but he's a more consistent hitter than Burrell ever was or ever will be.
People getting Ibanez tattoos and stuff should relax a little bit, maybe rethink that whole thing, but I think most fans are just enjoying a Free-Agent having a nice debut for the Phillies
Thanks for the feedback guys. I was one of Pat's biggest supporters and was very critical of the Raul signing, but before I jump on the Raul MVP Bandwagon I want to see the May-June-July stats…Pat was Mr. April so all this is fresh in my mind….
I hope fans know who Happ is…otherwise they haven't been watching the games as he has made numerous appearances out of the pen as well.
Raulllllllllllll is spelled wrong in the title. Or is that a joke from that fan who held it up wrong?
The majority of our "fans" do not read this site. I went to the final game of the season last year, and barely anyone around me had a clue as to who any of the minor league players were. I agree that a lot of people know who Happ and Marson are, but the majority? Unlikely.
just wondering if anyone heard any updates on cole hamel's situation???
by the way, raul is awesome!
Last I heard Cole was not going to miss any time.
Glad this is an off day –
hey. beer man stories. i love it! great addition to the site.
Hey Nick, are you the "beer guy" with the Phillies Tattoo?
Hey T Marty…that is me.
Good Deal, bought many a miller lites from you, and i got a great picture of that tat!
Beerman fears Mike Lane
the last time I went to a game there was a scary beerman who made noises.
Keith, aren't beerman supposed to make noises? Or should they try and sell beer as mimes?
yes, but these were weird noises.
just looking at the 2009 salaries. Joe thurston , and Segovia who retired plus Roberson are we paying them still?
and Scott Mathieson is there twice.
I would agree most fans don't read this site, but yes a majority of the fans know who JA Happ is because he has pitched in a few games and had what about 8 starts last year. I am not a huge Minor league follower, except what I hear on here, so I may not know some of the guys when they bring them up in september, but I know the 25 man rooster
The setting is right for a lot of offense this coming series. All of the starting pitchers have high ERA's Chan Ho starts tonight, Jamie on Saturday and JB on Sunday – JB has been pummelled all year long so far and it does not appear to be getting any better.
The Muts do not fare much better – Pelfrey, Perez and John Maine all with ERA's substantially over 5.
Fireworks coming early and dont forget, Scott Eyre will surely make an appearance.

NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.

ObamaCare brings additional Medicare tax if income over $200,000 or $250,000
- 7:43 pm Monday, September 16th, 2013 by Dian Vujovich
Even though not everyone seems to know it yet, ObamaCare has been in place and working just fine for millions for the past three and one-half years. Something else everyone might not know is that when tax time rolls round those with higher incomes will have to cough up some additional tax monies.
While there has been plenty of squawking about ObamaCare and repeated tales of untruths about how horrible it is, I've yet to hear one complainer come up with a better idea about how to provide reasonably priced health care to our citizens. Or, share ideas about how to [More]

The Upper Delaware River has become synonymous with the phrase "wild trout," a term that may seem unimportant to the general public, but is of vital consequence to trout fishermen. Not only is a river filled with only wild trout in the northeastern United States a rarity; it is a major draw as well. But what is it that makes such a fishery superior to another? What is the allure of these wild fish?
The first thing to understand is what makes a wild trout wild. Simply put, it is a fish that started life as an egg in a stream, hatched and grew without any outside interference from man. There is an alternative to this path—that of the stocked fish. Stocked trout are those raised in fish hatcheries then released or "stocked" into rivers, streams, lakes and ponds.
The majority of streams and rivers in the Northeast warm dramatically in the summer and can only offer a viable habitat for trout for a short period of time, and therefore cannot sustain a wild population. Thanks to robust stocking programs instituted by state fisheries over a century ago, these typically barren bodies of water can (albeit briefly) yield fishing opportunities not normally present.
Contrary to this, wild fish populations are found in those rare rivers that remain cold throughout the year. Because of this, they live their entire lives in the same waters with the same chemistry and topography. They come to know the currents, rocks, pools and riffles in which they were born, allowing them to fully adapt and become one with their environment. Wild fish also have a stronger, more diverse genetic stock that allows them to adapt to local changes in the environment, whereas the stocked fish tend to have a very homogenous genetic makeup, which does not allow for the kind of adaptability required to thrive. Wild trout are typically healthier as well, and are much more beautiful in appearance when compared with stocked fish.
Wild fish will have much more vibrant colorations, as well as larger, fully-formed fins and tails. Stocked fish will take on more color the longer they remain in the wild, but typically they will never reach the bright pigment levels seen in native fish, which have been adapting since birth to the specific hues present in their environment.
Visual differentiation between the two is quite simple at times, with stocked fish being very pale, and exhibiting fins with injuries or deformities brought on as a result of constantly colliding with the walls and floors of their cement home.
Why cement? Because stocked fish are born and raised in cement troughs on a diet of Purina Trout Chow (yes, it is a thing) among dozens if not hundreds of their brood-mates. The proximity to their brethren works contrary to nature where adult wild trout are solitary, claiming and defending the best feeding lanes in a given stretch of water. Instead, once these fish are released they tend to group up as they had been at the hatchery, creating pockets and pools filled with very confused fish.
These muddled fish are also unaccustomed to the varied and different type of water they find themselves in, having been in a static environment for years. They also lack the muscle tone and innate knowledge of currents that wild fish do. This leads to one of the biggest differences between the two—the fight. Anglers are always looking to challenge themselves and land the strongest, hardest fighting opponent that they can. A wild trout fits this bill perfectly, while the stocked fish many times just gives up and rolls over, coming right to hand. While this may be less work-intensive, it is definitely not desirable to most fishermen.
Stocked fish are also not selective in their feeding habits, meaning that any fly or other imitation will likely fool them. This is again a result of their diet and previous life in the tank. They are unaware of what item floating on the surface may or may not be food, and therefore have to attack every piece of detritus that floats over their heads, including sticks, seeds, etc. This is also the reason that a cigarette-butt fly was developed (only half in jest) as these fish are known to take them.
Wild fish tend to become highly selective in their feeding habits, and this makes them exponentially more difficult to fool with an imitation. While this may sound counterintuitive (i.e. why would one want the fish to be more difficult to catch?), the truth is that fly fishermen in particular take a queer joy in targeting extremely wary and difficult fish, takingpleasure in fooling such difficult quarry.
Despite their hard fighting nature, beautiful coloration and challenging nature, there is something that draws fishermen to these wild fish that runs even deeper. It is an existential desire, a primal feeling that comes from challenging oneself against a native adversary that has the true home-field advantage and that can trace their genetic line in that body of water for generations. This is a desire that one can fortunately fulfill nearby, in the beautiful, cold waters of the Delaware River.

By Marlena Hartz: Freedom Newspapers
Inside 16-year-old Kristin Smothermon's purse is a flip-top Motorola cellular phone. The Albuquerque teen takes it with her most places she goes — school, weekend trips, basketball and track practice. The palm-sized phone has even become a bed-time companion.
"I talk to my boyfriend for hours at night," said Smothermon, who was visiting her sister Saturday in Clovis. "And I text-message my friends a lot."
Smothermon said her parents were first reluctant to purchase her a cell phone.
"I told them it would be easier for them to get a hold of me," Smothermon said of the rationale that for the teenager ended with cell phone in hand.
Many wireless services are catching on to the pitch, as well as a virgin consumer group, by combining phones that appeal to younger and younger age groups with advertising campaigns that make sense to their parents.
Walt Disney Co. will soon catapult a mobile phone service for families, and Mattel Inc. hopes to debut a Barbie-themed phone shortly. The new Firefly phone, designed to resemble a toy, now populates the shelves at Plateau Wireless stores. Available in an array of translucent colors, it glows in the dark and can blink like its namesake.
Jack Nuttall, product manager for Plateau Wireless, said the phone, targeted to the 6-to-12 age group, is a communication device for parents.
"It is a safety communications device for the child. With everything going on these days — kidnappings, children missing — it is a device for parents to put in their children's hand, to not only be safe, but to have a little communication," Nuttall said from his office while also lauding the child-specific features of the phone — a mom and dad key, a locked address book with limited storage capacity, and a 911 button.
Plateau retail manager Kathy Bridges said about 60 Fireflys have been sold in the eastern New Mexico region. The company will launch a more aggressive advertising campaign, she said, when school starts in the fall.
Renee Crespin, a mother of two from Clovis, thought it wise to equip her young daughters with cell phones for their walk home from school. The pre-paid phone, Crespin said, is "purely for safety."
The drive to introduce technology to younger audiences doesn't end with cellular phones.
Gov. Bill Richardson set aside $1 million to furnish New Mexico seventh graders and their teachers with their own personal laptops. The initiative, launched in 2004, is still in its beginning phases, but according to David Whitehead, Clovis Municipal Schools director of information technology, the laptops may be available to local seventh graders by 2007.
"The students would then be able to take a laptop home with them like they would take a book home with them. Part of the plan is to provide Internet service at some homes through reduced rates, so that all kids can have access regardless of income," said Whitehead, who is already prepping schools for wireless service and laptop arrival.
Some parents, however, are concerned by the technology thrust.
Charles and Chanel Stamper have two children, 5 and 12, ripe ages for techno gadgets, according to cell phone providers and Richardson's initiative. But the Clovis couple disagrees. Although their 12-year-old son is relentless in his pursuit of technology — at one point, asking daily for a cell phone and a computer, devices most of his peers already possess — the couple repeatedly refuses to purchase either for their son.
"I know if he had a computer or a cell phone, he would just sit up in his room all day, e-mailing and talking to his friends. We would never see him," Chanel Stamper said. "To me, it's (technology) a distraction. Quality time in the home is taken out. It's like parents are trying to occupy their children for the parent's sake, so they can have more time to do what they want to do, rather than fill a child's need."
Further compounding the couple's concerns are Internet pitfalls — pornography, adult chat rooms, pop-ups, and identity theft.
However, many of those most steeped in the education world feel the technology invasion is not only inevitable, it has already arrived.
Ron Stowe, president of the Institute for Education and the Arts based in Washington, feels it is better to have wise hands gently guide a child's relationship with technology, than have the child navigate it him or herself.
"At these age groups, you certainly need to give a lot of guidance, as well as a lot of oversight," said Stowe.
Lorraine Richards of Portales found that out the hard way when her son became "addicted" to Playstation video games.
"I limit the time he can play the games," Richards said. Before she did, she said her son would spend hours holed up in his room, obsessed with moving to more advanced gaming levels. She noticed a marked difference in his attitude on the days he played for more than a couple of hours — he was irritable and easily frustrated. Sibling fights also broke out in the household until she stepped in and set rules, such as making Playstation a reward for completing homework and chores.
Debra Keagle, manager at Game Stop in Clovis, said some of children begin playing video games as young as 2 — and one company, she said, recently introduced "Plug and Play," a battery-operated product with built-in games, which can be plugged into the television, recommended for children as young as 5.
"Technology," sums up Stowe, "can be a wonderful tool. Like anything else, these pieces of technology are potentially beneficial and potentially distracting. It is a very interesting challenge — to take what students think of as play and entertainment and try to evolve that into a learning tool."

Dynasy draft continues
This dynasty league draft continued over the weekend, and I made two ballsy picks, so let me break it down.
In the 4th round, after taking Cam Newton, Adrian Peterson, and Wes Welker to start my draft, I took Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown.
While Brown probably wouldn't have lasted too much longer, this pick was a bit of a reach, especially since I took him over Marques Colston. Obviously, since this is a dynasty draft, I took Brown with the long-term in mind. The problem I had with Colston is I didn't feel comfortable banking on him and his problematic knees since I'm already dealing with a serious injury issue with Peterson. Had I not had that injury-related issue, I would have taken the productive Colston, especially since he's just signed a new deal.
I liked Brown because he's obviously very young, but he showed flashes of potentially developing into a special player. The numbers may not show that, as he had a catch rate of only 57%, which isn't great, but 16 yards a catch is pretty good and was right there with Mike Wallace. Brown actually had more targets last […]

News Detail
Fisher Prime Care Nursing Center: One Year Later
In 2012, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield announced a $1 million grant to St. John Fisher College to be used over five years to expand primary health care and mental health care for Rochester's underserved populations. Dr. Dianne Cooney Miner, Dean, Wegmans School of Nursing, was instrumental in securing the grant.
The College used the money to create the Fisher Prime Care Nursing Center at St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center, working closely with Executive Director, Sister Christine Wagner. The center provides new patient, acute, follow-up, and primary care services for up to 60 patients on a weekly basis, and expands educational opportunities for students in the School of Nursing. After having its doors open for a full year of service, Dr. Virginia Krebbeks, Medical Director of the center and Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing, says so far, so good.
Krebbeks said that the collaboration has led to several positive outcomes. One of those has been the ability of Fisher's nursing staff to obtain clinical data for statistical analysis, which has contributed to the concept that advanced practice nursing and mental health counseling students—guided by experienced faculty—have a positive influence on the advancement of health care for the uninsured and undocumented members of the Rochester community. Since the center opened, four students have been given clinical experience in primary care—three with direct care and one providing assistance with case study testing for the advanced practice nursing students. To date, there are approximately 170 patients registered with the center.
"Prime Care has made a significant contribution during its inaugural year of operation – specifically, we have provided primary care and mental health counseling for underserved and vulnerable populations in the Rochester community and contributed to the education of nursing and mental health counseling students," said Cooney Miner.
Starting this year, additional nursing faculty will be providing primary and women's health care for patients at the center, giving students additional opportunities for clinical experience. In addition, the center is now offering mental health care to patients, provided by Fisher's mental health counseling students who are supervised by Dr. Doug Bufano, faculty member in the School of Nursing's Mental Health Counseling program. In addition, students are gaining experience with an electronic medical record system, including electronic prescribing.
"The biggest benefit to students is the exposure to the multiple ethnic cultures from our patients. Communication with those who do not speak English, have different health priorities, and those with no or limited work experience or financial resources have given our students a flavor for these community concerns. A real-life experience with ethnic diversity provides an experience that cannot be obtained by a textbook alone," said Krebbeks.
She added that seeing and experiencing patients' health improve has been an "immeasurable" opportunity for the students. Also, through the use of current, research-based information, students and faculty have successfully taught better healthcare to patients, assisting them with obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.
"A common statement is, 'it takes a whole community to teach a child,' but it also takes a whole community to provide health care to patients," said Krebbeks. "The patients who come to St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center belong to all of us who live, work, and play in this community, so it is our collective responsibility to give what we can to those in need. The students and faculty who are providing healthcare to those in need develop a oneness within the community, which is a benefit and satisfaction for all involved."
Dr. Ginger Krebbeks and Nicole Fochesato, a graduate student, work with a patient at the center.

SNP Six Streams in Six days
This year my brother Colby and I decided to visit the Shenandoah National Park for a spring fly fishing adventure. This would be the first time that my brother and I have ever fished the Shenandoah streams.
Our plans were to leave Saturday April 20th and stay in a campground cabin as our base camp and fish a different stream each day. It was nice leaving our Hammocks at home and staying in a place like this for the week.
Even though we have never been to the SNP Colby and I had one ace in the hole. Our cousin Gary lives close to the area and was going to spend the first two days fishing and showing us around.
Every stream that we planned to fish we selected the higher elevations and concentrated on the remote gorge areas. This provided us with long days of cascading pool after pool. Having a good GPS is a must when it's time to hike back out.
If you are willing to get off the beaten path and farther back into the backcountry you can find some secluded areas without another person in sight.
Many of the Brook Trout we caught were very plump and healthy looking. The SNP streams must have plenty for the trout to eat to be in such good condition.
On the third day our brother Robert and our two nephews James and Ben planned to spend a day with us on the water. Plans were to complete the requirements for their Boy Scouts Fly Fishing Merit Badge. You can see in this picture the clip board with the fly fishing requirements check list.
One final requirement left was for each boy to catch a fish. Colby put on some swimming goggles in preparation for the unknown and a long day on the water with the boys. Both boys caught their fish that day.
Almost every fish caught all week was on dry flies. In one occasion during the evening with our cousin we were able to sight cast to rising feeding trout.
The last two days fishing were just Colby and I on our own. Gary had provided use with all the information we needed to complete the week by ourselves.
What a wonderful spring week spent in the Shenandoah Mountain streams with family. We were really lucky with the stream water levels, weather and all the great company that joined us during the week.
I hope you liked this small part of a great adventure as I will remember it for a lifetime.
Great post Mac Lots of "Family Fun"
Looks like you're just getting too soft for the backcountry You'll be looking for sections of streams with paved access before too long and may never get 50 yards from your car
Also when you post pictures of a pig of a brookie, you should really give your brother credit for catching the fish
Maybe Colby and I will just have you run our shuttle in May and we'll leave you to the roadside stretch, although if he's wearing those goggles I might just be too scared to fish with him
Mac, Thank You, for sharing a wonderful post. These pics really helped my cabin fever these last couple of days with be at home because of huge rainfall in the area.
