Four, five, even 35 years after they started their paths to a college degree, more than 1,400 University of Hawaii Manoa students received their diplomas Saturday at the Stan Sheriff Center.
For some, it's back to the books right away while others are eager to put what they've learned to the test.
"Probably grad school. More education, more money, more knowledge, more power," said graduate Joy Agran.
On this Mother's Day weekend, Leina'ala Bright and her daughter graduated, together.
The 55-year-old mother of four dropped out of school but returned decades later to earn a bachelor's in Hawaiian Studies.
"We realized in the last years that we could probably do it together," Bright said.
Saturday's commencement ceremony was bittersweet for Sgt. Jonathan Taylor who among the cheers fought tears as he accepted his late wife's diploma.
Kristina Taylor was studying geology and geophysics. The 27-year-old died this year after a complication from a swimming accident at Kailua Beach.
"It's very special for me to take it on behalf of her. It did mean a lot to her. It took a lot of personal time to be able to do this," said Taylor.
This is the second tragedy for Taylor, whose first wife died in a car crash.
Sgt. Taylor was deployed in Afghanistan when Kristina was hurt.
He said Kristina looked forward to donning her cap and gown.
"It was all she talked about and she was actually afraid that I wouldn't be home for it," Taylor added.
Taylor proudly walked for his wife.

A lot of things can happen at a music festival. Everyone knows that. You set out with an idea, but what actually happens ends up being completely different. The craic lays any plans or calculations to waste when good vibes, young people, music and fashion start to mix. An explosive cocktail indeed.
Sometimes you change your plans as soon as you arrive, be it by plane, bus or tube. You get talking to the person next to you, and everything changes. Do you like The Killers? Yeah, what about you? Yeah, me too. Who do you most want to see? The Artic Monkeys. And you? Do I ever!
Before this moment arrives you will have spent two hours in front of the mirror deciding what to wear. Jeans, a skirt, no, maybe leggings would be better, no, they're so uncomfortable, a pleated miniskirt!
Just when you think you've ruled out everything in your wardrobe, you come up with your perfect look: a stripy top, denim shorts, tights and a pair of platforms with a peep-toe. Not forgetting the thick-rimmed specs to add that modern touch to the oufit.
Then, when you're actually at the festival with your new friend at your side, you decide what groups to see. You make sure it's clear to everyone that you want to go to The Killers and the Artic Monkeys, but the festival has loads more to offer. The new electronic sounds will make you fall in love with the dance tracks from Justice or LCD Soundsystem, whose single "All My Friends" you will sing at the top of your voice with your new friend.
The platforms, the peep-toes, and one concert after another are killing you, and you're ready for a break. In the background in the chill out zone you can hear a lounge session that seems to have been lifted from the Café del Mar in Ibiza. Everything is perfect, with your new friend, concerts, laughter, and your other friends lost somewhere in the crowds.
By the end you have discovered loads of new groups, laughed like it was going out of fashion, and on top of all that, you've met a new guy. When is the next festival?

Lebanese foes celebrate together as army deploysap photo
Lebanese army soldiers stand on their armored personnel carriers during their deployment in the streets of the Sunni neighborhood of Bab Tabbaneh, in the northern port city of Tripoli, Lebanon, Wednesday. In a rare day of exuberant emotion, weary residents of two warring neighborhoods greeted each other with tears and cheers as hundreds of Lebanese soldiers deployed there for the first time in years. The government is trying to bring peace to an area that has been impacted by the nearby Syrian civil war.
TRIPOLI, Lebanon Gunmen cheerfully shared coffee and cigarettes with men they have tried to kill with assault rifles, grenades and mortars. Women on balconies hurled rice to celebrate. Men chanted giddily to welcome soldiers deploying to the streets of this northern Lebanese city.
In a day as joyful as it was unlikely, weary residents of two Tripoli neighborhoods on Wednesday celebrated as hundreds of Lebanese soldiers deployed in the most determined plan yet by the government to stabilize an area that for the past year has been increasingly drawn into the civil war in neighboring Syria.
Khaki-clad Lebanese soldiers in APCs used bulldozers to scrape away sandbag fortifications used by gunmen, pushing aside dumpsters used as barricades. Residents spoke of arrest raids targeting wanted gunmen. The 3G cellular connection was cut, preventing gunmen from using the WhatsApp messaging system.
They threw rice on me! Its like a dream, said 19-year-old Abdullah as he walked in a spontaneous demonstration for unity between rival neighborhoods.
The security plan is an important test case for whether Lebanon can reverse its slide into conflict, fueled by violent sectarian tensions trigged by the war next door, particularly between the countrys Sunnis and Shiite Muslims.
Bab Tabbaneh is mostly Sunni, whose residents support Syrian rebels in their war to overthrow President Bashar Assad. Jabal Mohsen residents are mostly Alawite, and loyal to Assad, who shares their faith, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
The Syria tensions added to decades of bad blood between the two areas, stretching back to Lebanons 15-year civil war that ended in 1990.
Exhaustion and frustration with months of fighting likely contributed to the jovial mood Wednesday, which many skeptics predicted would not last. Even among the celebrations, residents said their rivalries hadnt ended.
Some young men in Bab Tabbaneh skulked in back streets, eyeing soldiers as they smoked water pipes. A group of men near a juice stand resentfully hurled fireworks on the ground near soldiers.
But the pause in fighting offered relief from flaring clashes that have killed over 200 people in the past three years. The clashes have destroyed businesses, impoverished families and battered the two neighborhoods, where buildings are riddled with bullets and gaping mortar holes.
People here are fed up of clashes and shelling. We dont want to see any more houses under fire or any more families forced to flee, said Abdul Qader Hamzeh, 28. We dont want to face what the Syrians are facing.
The pause also reminded residents of older family ties between the two areas, connected by alleys and a shared sense of abandonment by the state.
On a street where only snipers trod, two old friends hugged and laughed.
Jabal Mohsen and Bab Tabbaneh are only two steps from each other, said Abu Yusef, of the Alawite neighborhood. Politicians intervened so they could destroy us, said the 30-year-old. His friend, Abu Haitham, a Sunni, said some of his relatives married Alawites of Jabal Mohsen, and he struggled with the idea that they were enemies.
Abu Yusef joked that he was going to find a Sunni bride.
Nearby, young men in Bab Tabbaneh cheered around soldiers patrolling on foot and in armored vehicles, shouting: The people and the army are one hand!

General Discussion
Geographic tongue is a benign condition characterized by inflammation of the tongue (glossitis) that appears in a map-like (geographic) pattern. The normal tongue is covered by a layer of small bumps known as papillae. In affected individuals, certain areas of the tongue are missing these bumps. These affected areas usually appear as smooth, red or pink colored, degenerated (atrophic) patches. Geographic tongue tends to come and go it usually heals without treatment, but will recur again usually affecting a different area of the tongue. Most cases are not associated with any symptoms (asymptomatic) and the condition usually goes away without treatment. Geographic tongue is not associated with any long-term health complications in healthy individuals. The exact cause of geographic tongue is unknown.

Oh they may be Bums, but they're my Bums…Go Dodgers!!
The Dodgers lost the last game of the homestand to the Marlins then headed to St Louis where they've been having
a nightmare of a week.
Make it stop!! the first 3 games totals that have taken 33 innings are:
So far, we have out hit the Cardinals and have nothing to show for.
Dodgers missed a good quality start by Wolf (yet again) in the first game. They got shutout in the second game with Billingsley on the mound, granted Billz fell apart at the end, BUT still no run support!. Lst night the Dodgers wasted a GREAT performance by Kershaw!
Why is it that the Dodgers have a hard time winning in St Louis?????
Since the Dodgers were losing 10-0 in the second game, position player Mark Loretta pitched 1/3 inning in the 8th.
The last position player to pitch fo the Dodgers was Robin Ventura on June 25, 2004 in a 13-0 loss to the Angels. My brother Vic likes to tell people about me still cheering for the Blue in the 9th inning at Dodger Stadium with "Let's go Dodgers, Let's Go!". I told him that day "At least I got to see Ventura pitched!"
When I went to St Louis in 2006, the Dodgers lost all four games. In the first game I was sitting in the left field bleacher when Odalis Perez came in extra innings. He served up a homerun to Albert Pujols. I was two rows back of the fan that caught the ball.
When we were losing the final game that Sunday, there I was chanting "Oh, they may be Bums, but they're my Bums, Go Dodgers!" ::clap clap:: An older Cardinal fan sitting in back of me said "That is the spirit!, keep rooting for your team!"
The Dodgers Song from Danny Kaye always brings a smile to my face:::
Oh, they may be Bums, but they're my Bums…..Go Dodgers!
The Best news I heard yesterday:
26 Comments
They are "our bums" Emma and we love them no matter what. Trust me – I'm having a tough time dealing with that concept today.
The Dodgers really do have a hard time winning in STL especially at the new Busch. It was a fun game to be at and I stayed till the end of course. Nothing is more fun than a win like that but the loss like that seems to hurt more so I feel for you guys. I wish I hated the Dodgers but since I don't and I have so many sweet Dodger friends I can't gloat like I would like. You guys still have a comfortable lead in your division but it really was a needed win for us and we are only 1/2 game ahead of the baby bears. I did think of you Emma singing your song and wishing I would have known you when you were here in 06. Good luck Dodger friends but I don't think you will need it. They are still the best team in baseball.
Congrats on getting Sherrill from the O's. He'll be a really good addition to your bullpen.
I agree with Jane that Sherrill will be a big asset. I read that he's had over 50 saves the last 18 months, so he can only help. As for Ortiz, well I have no problem lashing into him. If facts change, I will happily eat my words, but for now I think a lot of people are right to be disappointed with him. Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
hang in there. There will better days ahead for Baseball.
The old or the new Bush. In 2006, we lost all 7 games. I don't hate the Cardinals because of you and the rest of my Cardinal fan friends. I am glad you had a good time at the ballgame. I bet you went home and watched the highlights? Take care my friend!
Thanks. Now we have a lefty out of the pen to complement Broxton.
My head is spinning with all the trade rumors about Halladay. I hear Boston and Dodgers are in the running but I don't like what I am hearing they want in return. Too many players! I don't want to lose either Loney or Kemp
I like that we got SHerrill but Josh Bell is a good 3rd baseman. As far as big Papi, I am dissapointed, especially when they lie that they are not taking that stuff. What happened to the integrity, respect, responsibily and ethical values of baseball players?
I tried to watch the highlights but by the time I got home there wasn't much to be found unfortunately. There was so many close calls in that game I would have liked to see the replays. It was a hard fought game by both teams. Good ole fashion baseball. The Dodgers getting Sherrill sounds good. Good luck Dodger friends.
Emma: I agree with you that the whole roid list should be released and that the commissioner handled this whole thing wrong. I remember when the Yankees were getting blown out earlier this year and Nick Swisher pitched. It was funny, cuz he was the only one who could get anybody out! I was looking at your favorite blogs, and I see that Andre Ethier (hottie!) has his own. I need to check that out! Talk to you later! -from Virginia
Wow. You are true blue. I love it! Cheering your guys on in a 13-0 game. Sweet.
I was hoping you guys might do some damage to the Cards, since they are pushing the Cubbies for first place. Ah well.
And I don't think it would ever be Dodger baseball without Scully calling the game.
As if there was not enough with the 15 inning game the prior night , we had another lat night. But this time Matt Kemp came thru!! Awesome performance by Kuo!!! and gutsy decision by Torre to load the bases. I love this team!
Is fun watching positional players pitch. Loretta said he was well rested to pitch since the last time he pitched was in 2001! LOL.
I was all giddy when I heard he was coming back next year!. I was afraid this was his last year. LONG LOVE VIN SCULLY!!
We salvaged one game!!!
GREAT GAME last night! EMMA we broke the loosing streak! So no more nightmare (and remove Freddy's Picture…it is scary) LOL!
I certainly won't lie when I say I was cheering for the Cardinals, in my defense, it's not just because the Dodgers are in the NL West, the Cards are kind of like, my third favorite team. But wow, I was expecting a fight from them, and in that 15 inning game, I got it! I really was surprised that the Dodgers didn't perform better, and that's nothing against the Dodgers, they're a fantastic team, but I had the thought they might come out on top against the Cards. No doubt they'll bounce back though in the next series.
you are right. Freddy's pic is too scarry, I just replaced it with another. Awesome game! I was so happy for KUO! He looked grrrrrreat!
the 15 inning game was a great game even though we lost. Kemp should hae been playing deep and we could have gone into the 16th and who knows how long it would have gone.
LMAO….thanks EMMA…no more Freddy. We don't want HORRIFIED nightmares. LOL! Well now looking at your new picture…that ghost is wearing ORANGE & BLACK….that is a nightmare WE CAN BEAT, they are still 7 games behind WOOOHOOO! GOOOOO DODGERS!
LMAO…Thanks EMMA, no more Freddy….that was one horrified nightmare. Now looking at your new picture…that almost-scary-ghost is wearing BLACK & ORANGE, at 7 games behind, that is one nightmare WE CAN BEAT! GOOOOOOOOO DODGERS!
LMAO….thanks EMMA…no more Freddy. We don't want HORRIFIED nightmares. LOL! Well now looking at your new picture…that ghost is wearing ORANGE & BLACK….that is a nightmare WE CAN BEAT, they are still 7 games behind WOOOHOOO! GOOOOO DODGERS!
The Dodgers are the true blue team this year. In my opinion Vin Scully is the best play-by-play announcer in Major League Baseball, I remember him calling the 1986 World Series, he made some great calls back then and he continues to do it today.
I hope the Dodgers get back on track soon.

LMAO . Too funny! ! Yeah, we can beat the J-I-N-T-S, Gi'nts!
Oh the good old days when VIn Scully used to call the World Series. I too remember him calling the 1986 W.S.
Thanks Brad! I'll shoot you an email!
good ole vin is racking up the years aint he? i love nights hwne i cant sleep. ill go on mlb.tv just to hear his voice and all his stories. he is a true legend and i will hate it when he does retire
Emma: I'm scared for my Yankees. They had another bad loss last night. I'm upset that they did not get a pitcher before the deadline. The Red Sox made some nice acquisitions in Victor Martinez and Casey Kotchman. The Yankee lead in the AL East is only 1.5 games. AAAHHHH! This is too nerve-wracking. I'm really worried about my Yankees. -Virginia
Always a pleasure to read your posts.
I hope that string of extended innings and games comes to a close soon.
It can tear at a ballclub and make it mentally weak.
But hopefully knowing they are going to play the Cards will re-energize the team.
Go pluck the birds.
Rays Renegade
Aw, you thought of me? Aw. Yeah, I'm pretty upset..& shocked..to say the least. I'll get over it eventually. I can never forget Victor, though. http://tribechick.mlblogs.com/ -TC
UGHHH! My laptop is not working! Ok sending from blackberry
Can u imagine!? 6o years Vin has been with the Dodgers! He got a lot of stories to tell.
Hang in there! U got a good team. If only u can beat the Red Sox ha?.
Always a pleasure reading your posts
I want my laptop back!
I know you are sad because of losing Victor Martinez. You do have Carlos Santana and to tell you the truth I wish we had him back. When he was in the minors, I was so looking forward to him staying with the Dodgers. I wish the Dodgers would have paid the extra money for Casey and kept Carlos. How is he doing? I wish Victor the best of luck. I always liked him too.

Bark for Life is planned for this weekend on the track at Coastal Bend College.
The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday.
Adriana McKinnon, one of the event coordinators, said that, so far, they have 22 registered participants but they expect to have about 50 the morning of the event.
"We are very excited about Saturday," McKinnon said. "It is going to be great."
Last year, the event was held at Poesta Park, but parking is limited there. Moving it to the college track will not only improve the parking but give more room to the participants.
"People know about Relay for Life, and they go to the high school track," McKinnon said in a prior interview. "I want them to have the same idea for Bark for Life — that Bark for Life happens every fall at the Coastal Bend College track."
More participants this year means more money going to the American Cancer Society also.
Last year, the event raised $1,500 — this year they hope that amount increases.
Their goal is $2,000.
The idea for this relay came about because many of the Relay walkers are also dog lovers — and they hate having to leave their four-legged companions behind.
So, the idea is to have a relay where the dogs take center stage — literally the stage by the college's track.
Registration Saturday is $25.
There also will be numerous contests held during the four-hour event, including best dressed, best trick, best costume and owner look alike.

A vast number of galaxies is seen in this Hubble infrared image of the area surrounding the space oddity, Hanny's Voorwerp. Located in the constellation Leo Minor, a faint outline of the mysterious object, which is primarily visible in oxygen light, can be seen below the large galaxy IC 2497 near the center.
Leo Minor is known for its galaxy clusters, and this image is a testament to that fact. Most galaxies in this picture are spirals. Some are nearly face-on, as is the case with IC 2497 and its smaller companion to the left. Others are edge-on, as demonstrated by the multitude of elongated objects in the background.
This Hubble image was taken on April 4, 2010, with the Wide Field Camera 3 infrared detector. This near-infrared view of galaxies is typical of what is to come with the James Webb Space Telescope, whose prime purpose will be to image the universe in infrared wavelengths with high resolution.

The open ocean, the pelagic zone, includes all marine waters throughout the globe beyond the continental shelf, as well as the benthic, or bottom, environment on the ocean floor. Nutrient concentrations are low in most areas of the open ocean, and as a result this great expanse of water contains only a small percentage of all marine organisms. Far below the surface in the midocean ridges of the abyssal zone, deep-sea hydrothermal vents supporting an unusual assemblage of organisms—including chemoautotrophic bacteria—occur.

Man charged with repeat assault
BARRE A Granite City man is facing another aggravated domestic assault charge after being convicted of the same charge against the same woman in February 2012.
Jason R. Batchelder, 28, pleaded not guilty to the felony Thursday in Washington County criminal court in Barre. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
According to an affidavit, police went to Batchelders residence on Washington Street in March on a report of domestic assault. An officer said he could hear yelling coming from the residence and that as he entered, the woman came to him and said she had been assaulted.
She told police she had arrived to pick up some things and that Batchelder started arguing, pushed her and struck her in the head.
Batchelder told police he was on probation for the domestic assault conviction and was barred from having contact with the woman, according to the affidavit. He told police he and the woman started arguing and that she threw her phone at him.
Police said he told them that as he tried to get her out of the apartment, she grabbed his hand, and that when he pulled away she fell down.
Batchelder has a felony conviction listed as conspiracy drug, but the records check did not elaborate. His many misdemeanor convictions include disorderly conduct, simple assault, leaving the scene of an accident, attempt to elude, disturbing the peace and two counts of unlawful mischief.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

2010 Steelhead Season - Lake Erie
I'm back in Erie PA for a week of steelhead fishing. I was able to get out this morning for 5 hours. The am hours were overcast, cold, sleet that turned to rain. About noon, the sun came out, and the fish stopped biting. Lack of rain this fall has made all the streams very low. Not a big fish run.
A lot of fishermen out today. I really do not like fishing the weekends. I'm going to hit it hard during the week.
Anyways, had a good time. Landed some fish, missed some fish, took few pics. Most of the fish where 3-4 pounds - about 24". Those are the good jumpers. I hooked a larger fish, it came to the surface, rolled, took-off, then broke the line. I'm guessing it was 8 pounds. It was a lot longer and wider than the pics below.
My goal is to land a Brown this week.
With the low water, what flys seem to be working and what size, If you don't mind telling,if you do no problem.
Hi Lynn:
I've been using #14 sucker-spawn and eggs for all the fish. Pink or Orange. I've tried a bunch of different colors for nymphs and stone flies, but those have not produced any action. Another item I would suggest is the type of leader. I only use fluorocarbon - smaller the better in the clear water.
I fished on Sunday am for 5 hours. Had a good day with 10-12 hookups. I landed 6 fish. Fishing was slow for many others on the creek. I stood in the same spot (pool) all morning. If you were 5-10 yards on either side, it did not produce any fish. Therefore, when I was catching fish, the guys were starting to move closer and closer. Everyone wanted to know what was on the end of my leader. I did not mind telling people if they asked.
Funny story, I caught the same fish in a 1 hour time-frame. When I caught the fish the first time, I noticed a 2" mark on the lower tail. It looked like a scrape from a sharp rock. Most fish have marks on them, but this one was deeper than normal. The fish put up a good fight. Well. about 1 hour later I hooked another fish. Once it was hooked, it was like reeling-in a log - not much of fight at all. When I got the fish to the bank, I took a look at it and noticed the mark on the lower tail. Same fish.
My good deed for the day: Toward the end of my day, I started to talk with the guy fishing next to me (nice guy to talk to). He was the Penn State area (State College) and was flyfishing with with his daughter. He wanted his daughter to catch one fish. I told to guy to call his daughter over to fish in the spot where I was catching fish. I helped her pick out some colors and get properly rigged up. I stood there for 20 minutes teaching her how to cast in the current and mend line. She was very thankful. As I was walking away, I got about 30 yards away and heard a bunch of noise. I turned and looked over my shoulder to see the girl hooked a fish. That was cool !!! It make my day.
Here are some pics.
What fish!
You dawg, those are some broad shouldered fish....... When can I tag along for one of these trips?! .
Keep sending the pics, and good luck this week!
Tight lines,
The big fish of the trip so far
Fished on Monday am. Spent a lot of time walking and searching for fish. Found a few. Hooked and landed some - not many. Finally caught a fish on a nymph (black #12). I did not get any good pics b/c I left my camera at the house. I had my iPhone, but the pictures are poor.
I was pretty tired after all my business travel from last week, getting up so early for the last three days, and all the walking I did on Monday. Therefore, I did not fish on Tuesday am. I turned-off the alarm when I heard it.
The afternoon fishing paid off. I fished a creek called 20 Mile. It's on the border of PA and NY. They had some fresh fish that 'exploded' when you had them hooked. These fish ran. I lost my first 3 or 4 fish because they took off down stream and found some rocks or trees. It really put a definition to 'screaming reels'. I can describe it as: lifting the rod when your line stops moving, you feel a head shaking, then, when the fish knows it's hook, it takes-off. You are left standing there with your rod up in the air waiting to see if the fish is going to stop.
I finally landed a big one. Like I mentioned earlier in the post - most fish are around 24". I hooked and landed this one a brown nymph. I was just around dark - 6-6:30. I was the only one fishing this hole. I really wanted to get my picture with it.
This is how I guage/measure steelhead using my 7 weight rod:
From the butt to the first eye is 27.5".
From the butt to the next rod section is 30".
You tell me how big you think it is. This fish really bent my rod. The picture does not do it justice - it was thick.
I really appreciate the info. I always wanted to steelhead. Were you able to sight fish at all or was it all blind. That was really nice of you to help the young lady out. I had many people help me when I started out. A helping hand never hurt anyone and I try to help as many as I can. Good carma I guess.Thanks again.
Since the water is low and clear, I focus on the water. 'Fishy looking water'. Hard to explain. Once you start catching a few, you start to know where to look.
If you are willing to walk, you will catch more fish. I put some miles on the boots today.
Polarized glasses is a must. Good boots. Studs. The streams are shale. Very slick.
You can usually see fish moving around in the pools - back and forth. I do not to target those. I like to fish the faster moving water. Usually riffles in the head or tail of the pool. I good sign is when the fish are moving up-stream, not swimming around the pool.
I do not see the fish taking the fly.
Once you hook a fish or two, or you find the fish are not active, then it's time to move on. My thought and observation is, the guys fishing in the middle of the pool, where they are staring at the suspended fish and the fish are looking back at them, is a waste of time. It makes people frustrated when the fish have lock-jaw. That leads to snagging or foul-hooked fish. I watch some guys do it. If they keep the fish, it's illegal.
When you get a bend in the stream, you can also find some good areas closer to the bank. Fish will hug the bank or try to find something to hide under - rocks or downed trees.
I did not have a good 'catch-ratio' today. I pulled a little too hard on some, found some rocks on the others, and lost the majority of the fish. I did manage a few smaller ones.
Do you use indicators? I normally don't but I know a lot of people do up there. I've been up to Vermilion a couple of times but haven't found any fish. I need to head east over your way if I try this fall.
Most of the time I do not use indicators. Once upon a time, I fished with them all the time. Then I started to 'bottom-bounce'. I took a little time to get the feel and learn how the manage the line. But I like the feeling of the initial strike. It adds more excitement. I get bored watching a indicator all day.
You need to be able to adjust your split-shot to the speed of the water. Therefore at each hole, I need to add/subtract. I always buy the sizes of B or BB that are removable.
I also fish with a nymph and a dropper set-up. The dropper is usually an egg, sucker-spawn, or crystal meth - pink, orange or cream. The nymphs are usually BH Pheasants, Princes, Stones, Coppers. Not really specific colors. I switch up.
If I'm bottom-bouncing, and I do not feel the drift is good, then I will switch to a indicator. I use Thingamabobbers. Mostly white (not sure it matters). Sizes 1/2 and 3/4. They are EASY: to use, to see, and to get on/off the line. They look like the bubbles floating down the creeks. I also add a split-shot 6" down from the indicator - trying to get the fly down ASAP and below the indicator.
PA and OH are very different. The OH creeks are much larger. PA has more steams and more public access PLUS more fishing pressure. A lot more pressure. Fishing during the week is great.
If you are ever going back up north and need some info, drop me a line. I can get you started on where to stay, where to fish, and who to talk to once there.
Hope this helps.
Elk River Head
Was fishing some of the extreme East Ohio Creeks/Rivers the week before Thanksgiving. Did not catch large numbers but did hook and net a 31 inch x 12 pound Head on the Elk in PA. Got him on a Wiggle Stone x !6.

Although flu is striking all around New Mexico, it seems to have had less effect on the local area. Not a single flu case has been reported so far in Roosevelt, Curry or Quay counties, authorities say.
Beth Velasquez, spokeswoman for the New Mexico Department of Health, said there have been 108 reported flu cases statewide in 16 counties so far, but cautioned that she couldn't rule out some unreported flu in the area.
"There have been no flu cases confirmed in your counties," Velasquez said. "That doesn't mean you don't have any cases, because there are cases all around you (in other counties). A lot of times with the flu, people just curl up in bed and don't go to the doctor, and also it does take time to confirm that a case is the flu."
Local hospitals and health departments say they have been very successful in their programs to immunize residents against the flu — so effective that some vaccine supplies are running low.
James D'Agostino, administrator of Roosevelt General Hospital, said his staff tries to work with local businesses to get their employees vaccinated.
"What we did last year and what we have tried to do this year is get groups of businesses to get groups of employees together," D'Agostino said. "It is easy for us to go out to a business and give the vaccine to 20, 30, or 40 people."
Mary Russell, director of patient care, said those working in companies that don't offer flu shots can come to Roosevelt General Hospital for vaccinations.
"The Centers for Disease Control are recommending that everybody be vaccinated this year," Russell said. "We are offering it at $20 and we will bill Medicare if they have Medicare."
Butch Abernathy, the pharmacist at Plains Regional Medical Center, said the hospital's clinic has offered 200 to 300 doses so far this year. Abernathy encouraged people to get vaccinated — even though the flu vaccine being offered isn't designed specifically to protect against one common strain of the flu, he said the vaccine will provide some immunity.
"I think the problem this year is Australia and New Zealand had the early attacks. They had a pretty tough time of it," Abernathy said. "Our flu vaccine does not have that strain yet, and I have not seen any of them reported here in Clovis this year."
Gayla Jaquess, nurse manager at the Curry County Health Department, said free flu shots will be available on Dec. 2 for high-risk patients, defined as those over 65, or who have any chronic health condition such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, any lung disease, heart disease, or arthritis. Hours for free shots will be 8 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m.
"Flu is a very serious condition in the winter time," Jaquess said. "(The vaccine) boosts your immunity to protect against all strains of flu. It does protect against three specific strains."
The Roosevelt County Health Department doesn't have a set day for vaccinations, but has only 40 doses left for adults, five for children aged 6 months to 3 years, and five for children 3 to 18.
Nurse Manager Carol Morgan urged people to come in if they have diseases that could make flu worse.
"I want to see anybody with a disease condition, especially of the lungs such as asthma or emphysema, diabetes, people with cancer, anything that would make them a higher risk factor," Morgan said. "(Flu) is a disease that can be very hard on people as far as it increases the likelihood that (they) will be hospitalized. These are particularly virulent diseases that can lead to emphysema and pneumonia."

Has anyone else ever experienced dizziness while exclusively breastfeeding? I've been having this and really odd symptoms for the last month.
At first I would get a dizzy spell every now and then...maybe once or twice per day but now it is all of the time. Its not a true vertigo either although I've had vertigo a time or two while in the middle of a feeding. It feels more like a light headed spaced out feeling.
At first I thought it was related to my ears because they ring a little but now I am wondering if it is related to hormones. I felt similar to this during the first trimester and I've gotten small dizzy spells before my period my whole life. Also I started losing that beautiful thick pregnancy hair about the same time this all started. And last week I got my first post pregnancy period.
I've gone to the doctors 3X in the last month. So far they say they don't know. My bloodwork is normal (glucose, thyroid, blood cell count, etc) and so is my blood pressure. I drink lots of fluids, eat healthy and take vitamins. I had a hearing test and that was normal. My sinus' were scoped and they are normal too. I go for a balance test next month. I just think all of this is going to turn up nothing and I feel like I am spinning my wheels.
I am just getting so depressed over this because I see no end in sight. I really want to enjoy this time of my life but I feel there is a black cloud over everything because I am constantly dizzy.:cry:cry

Being a fan is a difficult thing. You'll find a musician or an actor or (more often than not) an Internet writer whose work you really respond to and suddenly feelings of creative or professional admiration turn into feelings of love and attraction. For some fans, the line between "I really appreciate the art you make" and "I guess I'm probably in love with you" gets blurry, and that can be dangerous if the object of your fandom isn't all he's cracked up to be. Or if he's Elvis.
4 Elvis Was Cruel to Priscilla Presley
Archive Photos/Getty Images
You might say that Elvis was "the Elvis Presley of rock and roll." Everybody wanted a piece of the King. We already know that Elvis Presley was kind of a huge creep, but we have the gift of hindsight. When Priscilla Beaulieu met him, she was 14 (with daddy issues) and he was 24 (with serious mommy issues). He liked 'em young, and she liked, well, what every straight teenage girl on the planet liked. She was instantly in love, and so was he -- or, at least, he was happy to have a nice girl to play the Madonna to his many whores.
He took her on trips to Los Angeles and Las Vegas and eventually offered to let her live with him at Graceland. Except he wasn't there most of the time, he was making movies and banging his co-stars. He was also violent and controlling: When she wanted to be a model, he said she couldn't. When she wanted to be a dancer, he said she couldn't.
He also had a bit of a temper.
Priscilla didn't have much of a life outside him, but it wasn't like she was going to leave him. She was a teenager, and he was fucking Elvis. And she was fucking Elvis! And so were, sure, a lot of other people, but she was too! And he gave her things! Like amphetamines! And sleeping pills! And a makeover, so she could look exactly how he wanted her to look!
Hulton Archive/Getty Images
Which was like this.
Their wedding was more of a press conference than an event for friends and family, and most sources say his managers forced him into it. Once she had a kid, Elvis was so afraid of becoming a literal motherfucker that he stopped sleeping with her. She did all kinds of things to try to win him back, had affairs, and eventually filed for divorce.
Despite all the crap he put her through, Priscilla Presley remained somewhat close to Elvis and seems to feel sorry for him more than anything else. She now blames his bad behavior on the shit-ton of prescription drugs he did and claims he could have been saved if he had found solace in Scientology, like she did.

3 Romola de Pulszky Shared Her Sexy, Schizophrenic Husband With His Male Boss
Vaslav Nijinsky was an early 20th century ballet dancer, often considered the best of the century, and a sex symbol for men and women alike. He did all kinds of sexy dances, one involving him playing a faun humping a nymph's veil.
Baron Adolph Edward Sigismond de Meyer
Sex was ... different back then.
While he had all kinds of crazy fans -- some of whom would break into his dressing room and steal his underwear -- one was particularly devoted. Romola de Pulszky was a wealthy Hungarian socialite who wanted Nijinsky so badly that she learned to dance, bullshitted her way into the Russian ballet, and followed him on a boat trip to Argentina.
Nijinsky found her annoying and creepy at first, but, maybe because he wanted to distance himself from a former lover, or maybe because of a lapse in sanity, he asked her to marry him. He didn't speak Hungarian, and she didn't speak Russian, so he ended up proposing to her half in French and half in mime.
So, yes, there were warning signs. But de Pulszky idolized him. She had married Batman, as far as she was concerned.
But that "former lover" happened to be both a man and Nijinsky's boss. From an early age, his mother had encouraged him to pursue sugar daddy relationships with several older, influential, wealthy men. Sergei Diaghilev, the head of the Ballets Russes, was no exception.
Bert, A., Sergei Blokh
Who does Sex Incarnate have sex with? The Monopoly Man Incarnate.
When Diaghilev heard that his star and lover had gotten hitched, he was more than a little pissed and found a reason to fire him. This meant less money for de Pulszky, Nijinsky, and their daughter, Kyra. De Pulszky had been warned before the marriage that Nijinsky had mostly been involved with men, but had presumably figured they'd work through these insurmountable issues with the strength of their mime- and grunt-based communication style. They didn't, and de Pulszky was forced to allow Nijinsky to reconcile with (i.e., screw) Diaghilev in order for them to get through World War I.
Then there were the psychotic breaks. Schizophrenia ran in Nijinsky's family, and he began to show symptoms early on in their marriage. He got sicker as the war went on and eventually had to be committed. De Pulszky was left with her trophy husband in an asylum, a daughter who would resent her, and a compulsive need to make herself look good in her husband's writings.
"Just erasing all these pesky 'I made a huge mistake' and 'She never loved me' passages from your diary, dear."
She also went on to have affairs with women. It probably would have saved them both some grief if they'd learned how to say "bisexual" in Hungarian and Russian.

Crew Stadium To Receive New Scoreboard
The Columbus Dispatch - January 24, 2014 03:16 PM
Anthony Precourt has finished off what an errant spark started more than nine months ago.
Today, the Crew investor-operator announced multi-million dollar renovations to Crew Stadium that include replacing the scoreboard famously damaged by a fire prior to the team's March 23, 2013 home game against D.C. United. The fire forced the Crew to replace the speaker system within the scoreboard, but now the display area will receive a facelift.
The structure as it stands will remain the same, but a new high-definition video board will replace the original video board, which like the stadium was installed in 1999.
The Crew will also add new color ribbons around part of the façade of the stadium and will renovate the home locker room as well.
And yes, that means the scoreboard on the west side of the stadium that has been missing light bulbs will be no more.
Check Dispatch.com soon for more.

Timing is everything. Until last week, Colorado's Front Range had been experiencing yet another lean winter. But in the days leading up to our trip with Flylow Gear and Powder Addiction Snowcats, the snow turned on and Jones Pass recieved over 18 inches of fresh. Located just an hour outside of Denver, Powder Addiction is the metro area's quickest fix for backcountry turns and deep snow. It was the perfect testing ground for new Flylow's new outerwear. We probably used up a little karma with this one.

- Abstract
- A broad continuum excess in the near-infrared, peaking in the rest frame at 2-5 micron, is detected in a spectroscopic sample of 88 galaxies at 0.5<2.0 taken from the Gemini Deep Deep Survey. Line emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at 3.3 micron alone cannot explain the excess, which can be fit by a spectral component consisting of a template of PAH emission lines superposed on a modified blackbody of temperature T~850 K. The luminosity ratio of this near-infrared excess emission relative to the galaxy's stellar emission at 3 micron is found to be related to the specific star formation rate of the galaxy, suggesting that the rest-frame J-L color can potentially be used as a sensitive and nearly extinction-free tracer of star-formation. The origin of the near-infrared excess is explored by examining similar excesses observed locally in massive star forming regions, reflection and planetary nebulae, post-AGB stars and in the galactic cirrus. We conclude that the most likely explanation for the 2-5 micron excess is the contribution from circumstellar disks around massive young stellar objects seen in the integrated light of high-redshift galaxies. Assuming circumstellar disks extend down to lower masses, as they do in our own Galaxy, the excess emission presents us with an exciting opportunity to measure the formation rate of planetary systems at earlier cosmic epochs, at a time when our own Solar System formed.

Car accident
One female was taken by air ambulance to Spohn Memorial following a head on collision on U.S. 35 south of Highway 239 in Tivoli on May 19 around 2:38 p.m.
A 911 caller reported an 18-wheeler and a suburban crashed head on with each other and the female in the suburban had a deep cut on her head and suffered multiple facial fractures, according to Chief Sheldon Wiginton who was on the scene.
All available units were dispatched to the accident. The caller reported that the driver of the 18 wheeler suffered no apparent injuries and was out of the vehicle.
The caller also reported that she saw the suburban swerve into the lane of the 18 wheeler.
The jaws of life were needed for the female still trapped in the vehicle.
A Halo-flight dispatcher estimated the time of arrival at 20 minutes.
Wiginton set up a landing zone on the highway.
Another 911 call from a male driver reported that he was a witness to the accident. Hwy 35 was shut down because of the accident.
The patient was flown to Spohn Memorial.
Seized vehicle
One subject was taken to Refugio County Jail on May 20 at 5:10 p.m. on narcotics charges following a traffic stop by DPS Trooper Blake Chapman.
The suspect was stopped on U.S. 77, north of the rest area in the north bound lane. The trooper requested a deputy to drive the vehicle to the annex and advised the subject was taken into custody for a narcotics possession.
Vehicle accident
No injuries were reported after a vehicle hit a tree on May 20 at 3:28 a.m.
A caller reported the accident on U.S. 77 northbound two to three miles north of Refugio. Medics were paged for a victim who was complaining of lower back pain.
According to the report, both airbags were deployed during the accident.
All three subjects signed refusals and were escorted into Refugio.
A weapon was recovered at a residence on May 18 around 10:30 a.m. after a disturbance was reported. A caller requested an officer to the residence of a male subject, but did not know the address. She reported that the male subject pulled a gun out on somebody.
The caller was at the residence when the male subject went to get the gun so she left. She also reported that her granddaughters were there at the residence with the subject.
Officer Ray John Silvas was notified of the situation and went to the residence where he recovered one weapon.
Domestic disturbance
One male subject was taken to Refugio County Jail on May 17 at 9:32 p.m. after a domestic disturbance was reported.

The female caller was yelling "leave him alone." Officers Jason Maley and Bill Schaefer were informed of the situation and also told that the male subject had pulled his teenage daughter's hair.
The caller reported that there were no weapons in the residence or on the male subject that she knew of. The subject was taken into custody. The caller did not wish to file charges but asked that a criminal trespass warning be issued to the suspect.
Trooper Blake Chapman took one suspect to Refugio County Jail on May 19 at 9:14 p.m. for DWI. The suspect's vehicle was towed.
Reckless driver
Deputy Ronald Ramirez initiated a traffic stop on one male subject on May 18 around 2:28 p.m. after a caller reported that the subject was driving recklessly.
The caller reported that the subject's vehicle was driving all over the roadway and at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was headed southbound on FM 136 past the Mission River bridge. The subject was stopped by Deputy Ramirez in Bayside. No further information was given.

Matt Kenseth is quickly showing how well he fits in at Joe Gibbs Racing.
Kenseth passed JGR teammate Kyle Busch 13 laps from the end to win the Southern 500 on Saturday night, his third victory in his debut season after a successful stint with Roush Fenway Racing.
JGR president J.D. Gibbs knew he was getting a champion in Kenseth. Still, even he's been surprised with how fast the new driver has come up to speed alongside teammates Denny Hamlin and Busch.
"He's a good leader," J.D. Gibbs said. "Denny and Kyle really like having him there and hearing what he has to say. And on the track, he's got a gift."
He proved that again at Darlington, where Kenseth patiently sat behind Busch much of the race before the right adjustments to the car clicked. It didn't hurt that Busch, who led 265 of 367 laps, cut a right rear tire down the stretch that cost him.
Once Kenseth cleared his teammate, he had clear sailing toward his 27th career Sprint Cup victory.
"I've got the good job and I've got the easy job," Kenseth said. "When they give me cars this fast, it's a lot of fun."
Hamlin completed his first full race since suffering a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower back on March 24 and finished right behind Kenseth. Jeff Gordon finished third in his 700th straight career start. Points leader Jimmie Johnson was fourth and Kevin Harvick fifth.
Kenseth's victory came without crew chief Jason Ratcliff, who was suspended for the No. 20 Toyota having an illegal part in a win at Kansas.
Carl Edwards finished seventh, followed by Juan Pablo Montoya and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ryan Newman rounded out the top 10.
"This is a dream come true," Kenseth shouted on his radio. "Thank you guys very much."
Hamlin might've thought the same thing after his second-place finish. The driver missed four races because of the injury and ran just 23 laps at Talladega last weekend handing the car off to replacement driver Brian Vickers.
Hamlin's finish was just what the team needed as it tries to move up from 31st place when the week began into 20th, where it'd be eligible for a wild card entry into NASCAR's championship chase.
As Hamlin neared the end of the grueling 500 miles, crew chief Darian Grubb radioed his appreciation of the effort Hamlin put forth in his first full race back.
"I am extremely proud of you there, buddy. Just an awesome job hanging with it all day," crew chief Darian Grubb radioed as they closed in on the finish.
"Thank you so much. I appreciate it," Hamlin replied.
Hamlin wasn't sore, just worn out after leaving the car. "This is a tough, grueling race," he said. "Nothing to hang our heads about coming up second for second year in a row."
Kenseth had won three times here in the Nationwide Series, but had never come closer than third in Sprint Cup. "I don't know that I've had a win that feels bigger than this," said Kenseth, who counts the 2003 series championship and two Daytona 500s among his achievements.
No one matched Busch for most of the race. He had powered to victory in the Nationwide event here Friday night- leading 107 of 147 laps - and was running strong again after taking the lead from older brother and pole-sitter Kurt Busch 74 laps in.
Kyle Busch stayed on top through several stretches of green-flag racing and through the first four restarts. But his machine couldn't keep up after Kenseth went by.
Crew chief Dave Rogers said Busch had a cut right rear tire and only 12 pounds of pressure left when he went into the garage. It's the 11th time Busch has led at least 200 laps in a Sprint Cup race, yet he's only won four of those.
Busch left the track without comment. Hamlin, though, was pretty certain about his teammate's mindset. "Yeah, he definitely won't be happy, that's for sure," Hamlin said. "But it's tough when you have a car that was as dominant as his, then the last run, whatever happens happens."
Kenseth's win came with Wally Brown calling the shots as crew chief. Ratcliff is expected back for the next race after JGR had penalties imposed by NASCAR reduced on appeal.
The best chance to defeat Busch appeared to come from Kasey Kahne, who pressured his JGR rival on the restart after the fourth caution period. Kahne looked like he had cleared Busch but the car got loose and the back end slammed the wall.
Kahne was not happy with Busch's maneuver.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYDoes Steve Lyons look "Psycho" do you in this 1986 card? That was Lyons' nickname during his playing days because of his flakiness and hustle. Lyons wouldn't play in the World Series that year for Boston as he was traded in late June to the White Sox for future Hall of Famer Tom Seaver.
