No. 7: "Low Rider" by WAR
"Low Rider" is a 1975 song that chronicles the practice in auto culture of installing hydraulics to a muscle car's suspension system, making it a "low rider."
The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1995 film "Dazed and Confused," a movie about a bunch of teenagers that like to drive around and go cruising in the 1970s.
Listen to it a few times, and you will wish you were right there with them.
Best lyrics:
All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
Low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer
No. 6: "Pink Cadillac" by Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen used auto imagery in many of his songs, but probably never more famously than in this top 10 hit from 1984.
The Boss has said that he was inspired to become a musician after seeing Elvis Presley on television when he was 7 years old. While the owner of the pink Cadillac in the song is a woman, it's difficult to imagine that it wasn't at least partially inspired by Elvis Presley's famous pink Cadillac, which is still preserved at Graceland.
As you listen to the song's soulful saxophone whine, we bet you won't be able to think of anything but the open road.
Best lyrics:
But my love is bigger than a Honda
It's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing
And one car that will do
No. 5: "Hot Rod Lincoln" by Charlie Ryan
"Hot Rod Lincoln" has been recorded by several artists, but was originally written by Charlie Ryan and released in 1955. The song is about a race between a Lincoln and a Cadillac and is considered a classic among hot rod and drag racing culture.
Ryan, who owned a real hot rod that was built from a 1948 12-cylinder Lincoln chassis shortened two feet and with a 1930 Ford Model A body, actually recorded the song twice. His 1959 version, recorded as Charlie Ryan and The Timberline Riders, is probably the better known of the two.
The song also found fame in versions recorded by Johnny Bond in 1960 and Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen in 1975, which climbed to No. 9 on the Billboard charts.
Best lyrics:
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln
No. 4: "Let Me Ride" by Dr. Dre
Just like their rocker counterparts, rappers have an affinity for automobiles.
On his landmark 1992 album "The Chronic," considered one of the most influential in the history of rap and hip hop, Dr. Dre documented rap culture's love of the low rider on "Let Me Ride." It also didn't hurt that the chorus features a sweet funkadelic sample from George Clinton and Parliament.

Rate hike prompts calls for spending controlsBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | November 27,2013MONTPELIER In its newly sprung effort to curb school spending across Vermont, the administration of Gov. Peter Shumlin is asking top legislative leaders to consider ramping up financial penalties on districts whose annual budget increases exceed certain thresholds.
The policy suggestion arrived in a letter Tuesday to the heads of the Vermont House and Senate, alongside a recommendation that lawmakers increase the statewide residential property tax rate next year by 5 cents to keep pace with the rising cost of public education.
Precise tax rates for fiscal year 2015 wont be codified until late winter, after local school districts get voter approval for next years budgets on Town Meeting Day.
But Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson says that with those budgets forecast to rise collectively by 3.8 percent, lawmakers will need to increase the statewide residential tax rate from 94 cents per $100 of assessed property value this year to 99 cents in fiscal year 2015.
Peterson recommended a 5-cent rate hike for nonresidential property owners as well, who would see their statewide assessment jump from $1.44 to $1.49 per $100 of assessed property value.
If the proposed increases go through, it would be the second consecutive nickel hike in statewide residential rates. Peterson is required by law to present rate recommendations to lawmakers by Dec. 1.
The complexity of Vermonts education-financing system, known as Act 68, means that numerous variables are affecting the rate-setting formula. But Peterson said increases in school spending play a significant role in the projected rise in tax rates next year.
Spending has increased at a greater rate than inflation, and also at a greater rate than the growth in the revenue sources dedicated to education, Peterson wrote in a 10-page letter to House Speaker Shap Smith and Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell. (L)ocal decisions to increase spending lead to higher spending adjustments, which are in turn driving the growth of our total education spending statewide.
The Democrats that control the governors seat and wield super-majorities in the House and Senate have long defended the local control that defines the states education system. But an increasing number of Democratic politicians, Shumlin among them, say flaws in Act 68 are begetting spending levels beyond the means of the property owners footing the bill.
Peterson on Tuesday urged lawmakers to consider exerting heightened influence over local spending decisions via structural reforms to the funding law. She said stiffer penalties for excess spending, combined with lowering the threshold at which those penalties begin to accumulate, might compel local districts to moderate budget increases.
There is now an opportunity to examine in a comprehensive way how the formula is functioning overall and to consider the underlying question of whether there are appropriate incentives or disincentives to limit spending to a sustainable, affordable level, she wrote.
Petersons letter referenced a study commissioned by lawmakers in 2012, which concluded Vermont has a high quality education system, administered to students equitably across school districts.
The question raised by the study, however, was whether Vermont could achieve those results at a lower cost, Peterson wrote. Vermonters spend a higher proportion of income per capita on education than any other state, and although the academic results are impressive, peer states have seen comparable achievement at a lower price.
Lawmakers early next year will consider not only how to curb spending, but whether the state ought redistribute the obligations over various classes of property taxpayers. Efforts to cushion the effects of increased school spending on households of more modest means has concentrated the effects of higher spending on homeowners with household incomes of more than $92,000 the point at which taxpayers cease being eligible for a subsidy known as income sensitivity.
Households that benefit from income sensitivity still see incremental increases in their tax obligations when the districts in which they reside approve per-pupil expenditures above a certain amount. But many lawmakers, joined recently by the governor, say the income-sensitivity provision has diminished the financial disincentive that might otherwise prompt greater voter scrutiny of local budget proposals.
Steve Dale and Jeff Francis, the heads of the Vermont School Boards Association and Vermont Superintendents Association, respectively, said Tuesday that lawmakers and administration officials have a legitimate interest in finding ways to curb school spending, especially as student enrollment continues on a years-long decline.
But Dale said the state needs to make sure that the mechanisms it employs take into account the unique challenges faces by school administrators and board members, and that parameters established in Montpelier dont micro-manage the operations of the states more than 250 separate districts.
Francis said his organization appreciates that the education funding reform effort is beginning early in the legislative process a late-session push for fund overhauls in 2013 caught many schools off guard.
But he said any discussion about the funding structure needs also to include an analysis of the cost-drivers responsible for climbing tax rates.

I'm more than ready and the Rant holds steady
Rockile Rant stands it's ground as the number 5 fan blog on MLBLogs.com
So does that make the Rockpile Rant the Number 1 Rockies Blog in the World??
1. Confessions of a She-Fan
2. Julia's Rants
3. Red State Blue State
4. Eat, Sleep, Baseball
5. Rockpile Rant
Thanks to my regular readers for your support for this past year. Remember the Rant during spring training.
As I prepare for this upcoming trip and season I will post a link to some of my favorite snagging entries from last season… One of my Fav's
I took a trip to Colorado Springs yesterday to visit an old Army buddy.
Meet Joe Smith..aka Miles Long.
He developed the Miles Long alter-ego after years of people not believing his real name when he told it to them.
There are a lot of Joe Smiths out there but this one is the real deal.
Joe and I were in the Army together and worked together at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs after we finished our tours.
I wanted "Miles Long" to come to Tucson with us but he has schedule conflicts and can't make it this year.
QUESTION: If you had the most popular name in America like Joe does, what "secondary name/alter ego" would you come up with for yourself?
I'm not sure what I've gotten myself into over at Mets Main Man. But I can tell you I've finished my first assignment. I love a good adventure and at this point I have no idea whatsoever what this dude is up to but I'm going to roll with in anyway.
Today I'm working on my final Banner for the Moblie Blog Unit.
(The moment you've all been waiting for…This is NOT the MBU)
Meanwhile,… Andy my co-pilot for the spring training/MBU adventure sliced open his finger open right by his knuckle while attempting to sharpen a knife.
He received eight stitches in this glove hand.
The way the healing process works it looks like the stitches will need to be removed around game two at Hi Corbett. A real man removes his own stitches, it's cheaper.
It's time for another edition of:
"Which Rockie Am I"
Today's Rockies Player was born west of Colorado in the 70's.
He's exactly the same size as me.
He was paid less than a million dollars for last season.
He's in one of last year's Rockies commericals.
That's it…Good Luck
Again I just want to thank the folks who frequent the Rant. I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing Rockies blogs in the Top 50. Props to all MLBLoggers for what you do.
My mission is to promote my team and get them some respect and it's working thanks to you.
Be ready, in about eight days I'm going to be coming at you like a broken maple bat on a mission…D

Way to keep the 5 spot!
One of these days Baby Paul's gonna pass you for top Rockies blog, though — he's only 1. hahaha
Thanks Mark, what if Baby Paul and I joined forces🙂 ? Rant has been holding # 5, but as I keep mentioning, the best will be here shortly…I promise…D
Hey D,
I'm guessing Spilly. Also, there was a Joe Smith that pitched for the Mets last year. Not sure who he's with this season. Looks like we'll be in Arizona 2/28-3/2.
BP/Mark-That's cool, we'll be at spring training at the same time. You won't be able to miss the MBU. I know you'll stop by.
You're right. The answer is Ryan Spilborghs. You knew that right away I'm sure…D
Mark- The Joe Smith you were talking about is one of my favorite players. He was traded to the Indians in the 3-team 12 player trade that brought JJ Putz to the Mets.
I wish I was going to Spring Training this year but my parents said it's not going to happen. Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy baseball from my computer.
Let's Go Mets!
Hey D,
Whoa! That last photo is crazy!
I had a friend in my teens named Steve Smith. He had similar issues with getting people to believe him, especially figures of authority. LOL
Oh yeah, congrats on holding strong at #5!
Also, congrats on still being #5! David Wright is #5 so it is a pretty awesome number.
Congratulations on being in the top 5! Your blog is awesome! I can't wait for the MBU!
R-LUV-Thank you, no word from that blog thing😦
ELLIE and ELIZABETH-Thank you, I really like both of your blogs and appreciate your kind words and support…D
High five for the five spot.
You are peaking at the right time. right before you head south for the Spring Training games you will probably hit 3rd or 4th and maybe itch for the top spot on your way back home.
I guess blogging is like baseball. If you got the momentum and the good wood behind you, the sky is the limit. Keep heading upward and onward. You know the worst thing is I am comfortable between number 5 and 15. That way I am good enough to read, but I also do not worry the big boys and girls.
Again awesome news and keep that type coming. I love the photos and videos today. Nice touch.
Rays Renegade
RAYSREN-Thanks brotha, like I've said before. I don't want to own the number one spot, it's too much work. I just want enjoy a quick moment and feel it up a little bit. I agree with you about staying back a few spots…D

The people of the Santal community have lived in the northwest region of Bangladesh for hundreds of years. They are one of the major tribes in Bangladesh.
The features of the Santal people are quite similar to those of the Bengali people, the original inhabitants of Bangladesh, but the Santal people are a bit darker in color and have curly hair.
The Santal people practice ethnic religions or idolism. They do not practice Hinduism, but they worship several Hindu gods along with nature. They have their own tribe language, called Santali. It is completely different from the Bengali mother tongue, Bangla.
About a century ago, the Santal tribe possessed vast land properties in the northern part of Bangladesh. But according to Santal history, some cunning people from other communities took advantage of their addiction to home-made alcohol called Chuani and grabbed their land, not only making the Santal tribe poor but also ruling them for decades.
Most of the Santal people do not own land to grow crops. They work in other people's fields as day laborers. Both men and women work in the fields. They spread seeds, remove weeds and collect crops in the harvesting season. Some of the Santali people are involved in the occupation of pulling a cycle-van.
Most of the Santal people have a small amount of their own land to live on. Their houses are made of mud walls with a straw or tin roof. These houses are normally 10 feet long, 7 to 9 feet tall and 8 feet wide. They have cow sheds attached to houses and do not have sanitary latrine facilities.
The northern portion of Bangladesh is plains and is very dry. The elevation is about 60 feet above sea level, and the weather is hot during the summer. During the winter, this area becomes the coldest in Bangladesh. And from September to mid-December, the area becomes drier. No crops can be grown, which ultimately causes a job crisis for the people because they cannot get regular work to earn their keep.
A crisis of water is another problem they face. They have to carry water to their homes from a far distance; however, some of the Santal families do have their own tube-well (hand-pump water supply).
Santal families often have five to seven children. With parents, children and grandparents, there are eight to 10 people in every household. The women who are widowed or have been left by their husbands stay with their children. These families usually have four to six members.
To send their children to school is a luxury for the Santal community. They are not able to bear the school tuition fees. As a result, most of the children of this tribe pass their days playing in the fields.
If any child from the Santal community goes to school, he or she usually drops out before completing the primary education (5th grade). More than 80 percent of Santal adults cannot read or write their own names.
Most of the Santal villages are in remote places. Walking is the only way to move around. To go a long distance, they take a rickshaw, cycle van or local transportation like a bus or pick-up van that runs on the highway.
The Santal community observes the culture and tradition of their ancestors. The Santal women wear sarees and use various kinds of ornaments and flowers to decorate themselves. The male wear lungis (Bengali skirts for men) and shirts. During certain special occasions the men wrap their heads with long cloths called pagris.
The Santal celebrate these occasions and worship idols with the music of drums and other local instruments, and the men and women take part in their traditional dance.
The favorite dishes are godo (field rat) and pork. They prepare these dishes for the festivals. They are also fond of kuicha (a kind of eel) and vegetables. Home-made alcohol is one of the main parts of every celebration and festival.
Approximately 65 percent of the Santal people follow their ethnic religion, 24 percent practice Hinduism, and 10 percent practice Christianity. The rest are Buddhists.
Compassion-assisted child development centers serving the Santal tribe include: BD-201 – 219 and 221 – 234.

Where on earth can one weekend encompass an art show featuring collages and lighting design, followed by an intimate evening of original music, topped off by a Brazilian adventure at a world class entertainment venue? Welcome to the Catskills!
Even though I could see my breath this morning, I'm glad to be home after my whirlwind foliage tour of greater upstate New York. My inbox was flooded with invites to a wide array of events, and I chose an assortment which reflects the diversity of our region. Just off the beaten path in Youngsville, NY, Domesticities & Cutting Garden (www.thecuttinggarden.org [2]) proprietor Anne Hart welcomed guests seeking to peruse what her unique destination has come to exemplify: unusual, one-of-a-kind gifts and artwork designed with creativity and style.
Claire Coleman's (www.clairecolemanart.com [3]) colorful and beautiful assortment of paper collages evoke an emotional response and serve as a perfect complement to Kathie Fitzgerald's (email@example.com [4]) original light fixtures, which incorporate repurposed bases paired with shades that are created out of old maps, vintage wallpapers and whimsical photographs and fabrics. Both Coleman and Fitzgerald were on hand to explain the processes involved with creating these alluring works of art and I was (once again) reminded of the talent that resides here in the Upper Delaware valley.
Making a mental note for future holiday shopping, I made my way toward home, but stopped just short of Monticello, choosing instead to check out the latest craze making a resurgence on the music scene: a "house concert" in my neighborhood. Perusing the internet, I found this Wikipedia description: "A house concert is a musical concert or performance art that is presented in someone's home or nearby small private space such as a barn, rec room, lawn, or back yard.
The logistics of holding a concert in a 21st century home can be complicated, depending on a number of factors. These include audience capacity, collecting cash or donations, whether the proceeds will be split with the host, marketing and whether to publicize the venue, to provide refreshments or to hold a potluck, whether to have one show or present a series and the choice of musicians."
Common in the historical past, but now unusual in the age of large concert arenas, a house concert is almost invariably described as an "intimate" experience. With the cold weather upon us, this concept appeals to me and my experience at The Kitchen in Sackett Lake was cool. Emcee/musician Tony Penn (www.facebook.com/tony.penn [5]) invited the crowd (after a sumptuous meal) into the salon, which was replete with lighting, an excellent (IMHO) sound system and extremely comfy seating.
The opening act, "John Henry's Hammer" (Dan Haggerty and Marty Zuybora), presented "a mix of traditional, acoustic blues and originals" and I found Zuybora's style extremely appealing and particularly engaging. Headliners Mike Baglione and Anne Loeb (bluegrass,traditional,old-timey jams) are clearly so deeply in love that I fell head over heels myself. Dueling guitars (hand made by Baglione) and gorgeous harmonies combined with incredible charm and charisma exemplified this "match made in heaven" as the duo serenaded the audience with their down-home-in-the-country song styling and breezy banter, perfectly suited for the setting. For future house concert dates in The Kitchen, call 845/791-4051.
With a song in my heart, I made my way to the Event Gallery at Bethel Woods (www.bethelwoods.org [6]) for the season's penultimate performance of their World Stage Series, concerts performed in tandem with activities for the family. The show, "Minas: Brazilian Adventure," was billed as "a fun way to learn about Brazilian culture, combining music, participatory singing, and authentic samba percussion in a lively performance." The press release encouraged families and youth groups to "make a day of it—come early and create a traditional Carnival mask that you can wear during the concert."
Orlando Haddad and Patricia King are not only accomplished musicians, but certainly know how to hold the attention of youngsters, who (after the mask-making workshop) were not only clearly excited to experience Brazilian Jazz, but attentive, involved and enthusiastic. They took their cues from the duo, who informed and entertained the adults as well with their stylish interpretations of traditional samba rhythms mixed with original ballads in a musical salute to Carnivale.
These fabulous family concerts are free to the public and serve as another reminder of what the Catskills has to offer. Music, art, crafts and design all flourish here in the mountains in a never-ending flow of creativity, which draws visitors to our neck of the woods, while reminding residents of why we call this corner of the world home. The Upper Delaware Valley continues to enthrall and amaze and (even though I can now see it in the brisk morning air), still takes my breath away.

Playing Favorites
I grew up in a very Christian house and I remember being tickled pink whenever one of my sports heroes would thank god after a big win. Every Lions fan knew that Barry Sanders and JC were tight. One of my earliest baseball memories is Frank Tanana on TV thanking the big guy for helping him win the game that clinched the division and got the Tigers into the 1987 ALCS with the Twins.
But I started to wonder a few years ago: How come god plays favorites like that? I mean, why did he help out Tanana that afternoon but then totally leave the Tigers hanging out to dry in the actual playoffs? Were the Twins fans just praying harder?
Finally I realized that it has nothing to do with god at all. If Dave Dravecky and Orel Hershiser, two incredibly (some might say fanatically) devout Christians, pitched against each other, god didn't magically flip a coin and decide which one of his children would win and which would lose. Either they made their pitches and got run support or they lost.
I guess my point is that I'd like to see us get beyond all of this. Tim Tebow didn't win a national championship for Florida because Jesus came down and guided his passes. He won because he spent hours on the field and in the weight room preparing for those games. I'm guessing Tanana did the same thing. In fact, if there's anything that should make you wonder about the possibility of divine intervention, consider David Wells. How that man can launch that girth out of bed every morning, much less throw a perfect game, is the only evidence of miracles that I've ever seen.
10 Comments
Speaking as a man of Girth, I imagine Mr. Wells gets out of bed the same way I do – by rocking back and forth until enough momentum is gained to break Planet Serta's gravitational field.
Once again, science, specifically the field of Flabodynamics, trumps silly "miracles".
One of my bigger beefs in sports. The post game "I'd like to thank God…" interview. God doesn't give a rat's *** if you won your ****** ******* **** ok? Get it out of your head. With that being said, I don't have a problem with group prayers in football or when an athlete thanks God for his well…God given ability. That's all.😉
I have to say that when after some action of some kind people get on a podium and give thanks to ME then so be it, I can tell them I didn't do anything… but if it's a woman calling my name, then guys your just inadequate, seriously though, taking my name or my sons name in vane will get you nowhere, we won't help you achieve anything, afterall we are just characters from a really old novel….
Religion is the opiate of the masses. – Marx
There's a lot of high people in the world.
JOBU is your master!
And how about all that pointing to the sky? I say whatever works for them is OK with me.
P.S. As long as it's not banned by MLB…..
Same as I feel about politics, I always wished sports would leave God out of it. Unless of course they would all like to give thanks to me for being the best fan ever…I'd be ok with that…LOL
My family and I play a little game we like to call "Blank for Jesus!" Every time Ivan Rodriguez steps into the batter's box it's "Batting for Jesus!" Oh, Jimmy Rollins got a single? "Bases for Jesus!" Hey, cross wearing player, you knocked it out of the park! "Homerun for Jesus!" It's basically just really fun to yell out "_____ for Jesus!" in any situation. Especially if there are strangers around.
Remembering that last day of the season where Tanana spun his wizardry against the Blue Jays; maybe he just ran out of divine intervention against Minnesota. Or maybe God was a Twins fan.
But on that autumn afternoon, all I could remember was seven losses in a row by Toronto and wondering, as a 10-year old, what a "choke-artist" was and why my dad was calling the Blue Jays just that. No God for Toronto fans that Sunday.

I agree.
The Knicks need to fire Mike D'Antoni. It is because of him that the Knicks don't have Brook Lopez. It is also because of him that the Knicks have
Chris Duhon as their starting point guard. Mike D'Antoni is terrible at creating starting lineups, and his substitiutions in the 4th quarter are rediculous.
I don't entirely blame D'Antoni, though.
Walsh is the one listening to D'Anphony's every command. Walsh needs to get a backbone and stop doing whatever D'Antoni wants him to do.

Taking care of your printer's curing system is neither difficult nor time consuming, but proper monitoring and maintenance must be priorities if you want to realize the full benefits of this technology.
By Screen Printing's Solution Sourcebook
Wide-format UV inkjets come in models that can print on thick and rigid materials, combination systems for both flatbed and roll-to-roll printing, and flexible, roll-fed media. Regardless of the configuration of these devices, all of them share the distinguishing feature of printing with UV inks, which are cured with specially designed lamp assemblies.
Inkjets with one curing assembly (a typical assembly consists of a single lamp and reflector) print in a unidirectional fashion, and the assembly is mounted on the trailing edge of the printhead to cure inks immediately after they're jetted onto the substrate. Systems that have two sets of curing lamps position them on both sides of the printhead carriage. Such systems can run in bi-directional mode, with each lamp activated only when it's on the trailing edge of the printhead.
Some dual-lamp printers can activate lamps to cure on the leading edge so that ink that is laid down is cured only after the carriage returns, not immediately upon deposition. The time between ink deposition and curing can affect the visual characteristics of the final print, which is why curing on the leading edge is referred to as glossy mode on some printer models, and curing on the trailing edge is termed matte mode. The function of the UV lamp is the same regardless of whether a machine cures on the leading or trailing edge of the printhead.
Maintenance and troubleshooting
Parts of the UV-curing assemblies—UV lamps, reflectors, and air filters—require periodic cleaning and replacement. Each manufacturer has a schedule for you to follow. Some may specify a reflector change at each lamp change; others may tell you to change the reflector every other time you change the lamp. Some printers use an all-in-one cartridge system that contains both the lamp and reflector. With such systems, users can remove the cartridge and insert a new one into the assembly housing when the lamp is no longer suitable for curing.
Most manufacturers say that a UV lamp's average life span is 1000 hours, plus or minus 200 hours. Some substrates require 100% output from the lamps for printed images to cure properly, and frequent job runs on such materials may reduce the effective life of the UV lamps. Conversely, high-volume work with less demanding substrates can prolong the usefulness of the curing lamps because they may not require that the lamps be operated at full power.

ralph lauren shorts brand was embraced by hip hop and gang culture in a big way using bold iconography, graphics and color.

Son shows up Dad again!
My son and I went to the Acid Depo. meeting this morning at Park Headquarters.
The meeting ended earlier than I expected so we went down behind Park Headquarters to look at the stream and check the water temp.
It was 38 deg. at about 11 am. Way to cold to expect much action.
Since he is 13 and still learning the flyrod, I took him back down to G-burg to fish the DH section.
We got our 1 day permits and went down to the "Holt" picnic area and kids stream to gear up. We watched all the fish in the kids pool from the bridge and they seemed to be actively feeding. We started fishing above the childrens section and located some good stockers in the deepest pools. I missed a couple of fish before landing a nice 16" rainbow. I caught another upstream at the next good pool.
He took over the rod and after missing a few strikes, he finally hooked up on a solid fish. The fat rainbow measured out to be 18" and I could tell he was pleased to have caught the biggest fish of the day once again!
That's is awesome, only 13 on already catching the big ones and on a fly rod to boot. I did a short hike on Fighting Creek and didn't find any water above 39 degrees. I gave up and went to LRO to talk to Sarah Weeks who was doing a tying demo. I hang around the store for a couple of hours, bought a nice belt and went back home. I can't wait until the HI next weekend.
I hope my son out fishes me every time we go. That means I taught him every thing I know and he didn't listen to any of it!

I too hope that my son will one day outfish me on every outing. This weekend I was happy to have him napping on my shoulder while Sarah did some tying. It was a great guys day out.
Kids starting out...
I'd be interested in hearing what some of you folks think is approximately the appropriate age for getting kids first started in fly fishing.
I had the oldest (now 5) out at 4 years old with a bobber and some crickets going after bluegills. Had to keep that short, but we had a good time. He reminds me frequently that he was the only one that caught keepers that day.
I'm sure I'm waaaay to early for a flyrod, but I'm ready to start counting the days.
What do you guys think?
Every kid is of course different, but I would say around 10-12 years old is a good age to try casting the flyrod. I have been taking my kids camping and hiking since they were able to walk. I always chose a place on a river or creek and we spent time turning over rocks and catching as many different kinds of bugs as we could find. We started using a flyrod at the lake catching bluegills and now that my 13 y. old can keep up with me on the streams, I try to take him often. I still have to limit the fishing times to about 2 hrs. and I try to pick places with a high probability of catching success. Lately DH has worked best for this but the tailwaters are picking up also.
I did take him up to LRO one day for some 1 on 1 casting time with David Carson and I believe it helped.
With the Spring hatches getting ready to kick off in the Mtns. we will be throwing alot of Dries to the hungry trout!
I'm working with my 4 year old now,
My goal is to keep it fun and entertaining! I think that every child is different and each has their own tolerance and attention span. I let my son cast and mess around with his own fly rod until he is content then we move on to something else. Basically I let him dictate on his own terms. This seems to work and he is always eager to get the rod out. I also take him fishing with a little zebco and some worms/crickets. Can't wait till were fly fishing in the same stretch of river and he says " Hey dad, try this one I tied, I'm killing um"
* My Legacy: For my son or daughter to stand in a stream that we fished together when they were kids,release a nice trout,look up and say "thanks dad"

The simple answer is yes, you can. You can increase your intuitive capacity with practice, whether you are a beginner or more advanced.
Remember that you already have intuitive capabilities. Some people are more intuitive than others, but every one has some inherent skill. Think of it as though you were peeling an onion with intuition in the center. You want to remove the layers blocking your intuitive knowledge.
The main requirements for basic intuitive development are (1) intention and (2) attention.
Without realizing it, most of us have been saying no to intuition throughout our lives. If you wish to develop your intuition, it is time to say yes.
A good example of this is Dag Hammarskjold, Head of the Bank of Sweden and Swedish Deputy Foreign Minister. Hammarskjold had achieved success on every level, so was perplexed when he began feeling great inner restlessness and pressure. The pressure disturbed him so much that he changed his diet and routines, then sought medical advice, and finally went for psychological testing, No one could find anything wrong, but the pressure and restlessness didn't go away.
Alone in his apartment one night, Hammarskjold had an intuitive flash. He realized that something was calling him. He did not know what was calling him, replied, "Yes. Yes. Whatever it is, I say, 'Yes!'" Within a short period of time, Hammarskjold went to work at the United Nations where he later became the Secretary General.
Invite intuition into your life as you would a best friend. After you state the intention to develop your intuition, simply go forward with your daily life. But stay alert to intuition's communication and welcome it with a sense of joy.
Remember: intuition is a natural process. You do not have to work hard to discover its gifts.
Intuition, like other parts of life, is not isolated. It arises out of feeling and knowledge and occurs in the context of relationships. In the beginning, intuition tends to be in the background. As you pay attention to its presence, no matter how subtle, you bring intuition to the foreground.
To accomplish this, start noticing and integrating intuition. Here are three techniques that will help.
Keep a diary of intuitive impressions, whether they come through dreams, thoughts, sensations, or instantaneous insights.
This allows you to:
If you are unsure how to start or have trouble accessing your intuition, begin each entry with gratitude for what you have learned that day regardless of how the learning arrived.
Then, ask what further insights does my intuition have for me? Write down the answers to this question even if they are not logical. Check back on all your entries once a month.
Allow your intuitive experiences to be another way that you learn from the world around you.
Another way to improve your attention skills is to go to nature. Nature often has a calming and centering effect, which helps your access to intuition. For example:
You can use this question method in settings other than nature. To do this, focus on your question, then let it go. Then sit in meditation [1] or do anything that calms you. The solution may arise in the process, after you finish, or later in your dreams.
Human beings like to learn together and share what they are learning. It is important for you to have at least one family member, friend, or colleague that you can speak openly with about your intuitive experiences. This person is your intuition buddy.
Try some of the following activities to bring attention to your intuition and build your capacity to speak about it with others.
If you encounter problems in the beginning, realize that it is natural to have difficulty distinguishing intuition from emotions [2], thoughts, attitudes, and opinions. With practice, you will become more skilled in separating personality factors from pure intuition. This capacity gives rise to intuition which is clear, purposeful, efficient, and natural.
Your intuition probably takes different forms. But over time you will come to know your intuition's favorite way to get your attention. You might find it comes in day dreams rather than night dreams. Or you might see clear images after meditation or prayer [3]. Or, if you exercise, you might get flashes of insight into problems you are pondering as you work out.
Remember, if you want to learn about intuition, honor its advice wherever possible.
Intuition is fostered by love. Albert Einstein was a curious child and loved to explore, often conducting experiments with his imagination. Light fascinated him and it is said that he frequently 'rode a light beam out into space' with his imagination. As most people know, Einstein's creative probing intuited a basic principle of the universe: E=MC2.
[4]Your interests and the people or things you love are a platform for intuition. Scientists have intuition about science; musicians about music; parents about children; healthcare professionals about health. Research shows that intuition is used by those with more experience and confidence in their expertise-the area of their dedication and, usually, the area they love. So start there.
[4]Intuition is real. One of the reasons that it is hard to capture intuition in an experimental setting is that it works best in real situations and with real problems. Although it is good to test intuition's advice when you receive it, it is not good to create an artificial problem or situation in order to test intuition. It is simple: intuition will not provide meaningful input to meaningless tasks. Its nature is too efficient for that.
When your intuition has a very hard time communicating with you, it may "surround" you with messages. But that does not mean you should just follow it blindly. You still need to evaluate the messages and decide what makes sense to do.
For example, Rose is considering moving to Colorado, but can't make up her mind. One day she dreams about the Rocky Mountains. Later that morning her phone rings. Rose knows before she picks up the receiver that Nancy, her friend who recently moved to Colorado, is calling.
Rose is even more amazed when the mail brings a brochure for an affordable seminar featuring a teacher she admires that will be held in the Rocky Mountains.
Do all these experiences add up to Rose's intuition ordering her to move to Colorado? The short answer is 'no.' True intuition does not order you, but invites you to consider actions, changes in attitudes, and a host of other things. If Rose values her intuition, she could follow up on all the intuitive input she received about Colorado by going to the seminar and exploring the possibilities of moving to Colorado during that trip.
Rose could conclude that her intuition supported an exploration of the Rocky Mountains, but it is Rose, not her intuition, who will determine if she should move.
It is important to follow ethical guidelines as you develop your intuition.
Use intuition not as a magic wand that eliminates the ups and downs of life, but as a gift that can add a rich dimension to your life.
Enhancing your intuition is mostly a matter of paying attention to it in your daily life, particularly in the areas you know a lot about and love.
Remember that interpretations of intuition can be incomplete or colored by our perceptions, so use common sense. Ideally, your intuition and your logic will be partners and fully integrated with each other in your approach to life.

Lawrence Baker, an Eastern New Mexico University senior communications student from Portales and Dumas, Texas, is spearheading an effort to donate goods to the children impacted by the devastating tornado that decimated Joplin, Mo.
Baker lived near Joplin, Mo., for a few years. While watching the news he was shocked "to just see everything gone. It made me think how hard it must be for a kid to understand that for no reason at all, the wind just took everything in his or her life away," said Baker.
Baker is asking the donation of goods for children – not money – be dropped off at the Communication Building on the south end of the ENMU campus through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Baker suggests items such as stuffed animals, diapers, hand sanitizer, blankets, clothes, toys, games and anything that would "make this devastating situation easier on a child."
Since immediate emergency services are better equipped for helping with food, water and shelter, Baker wanted to help provide physical goods to children to add a little light in a very dark time for them.
"Seeing them interview families standing with their small children in front of the piles of rubble where their houses used to be, that these little ones have nothing now," said Baker. "I thought about how good life is to me right now; it really wasn't a choice. I realized I had to do something, anything I could, to try and make it just a little easier on them."
The items will be picked up and shipped to Little Sunshine Preschool in Springfield, Mo. and hand delivered to the children of Joplin.
Patti Dobson, chair of the department of communication, is helping Baker with the effort. She said that helping others is also a way to keep everyone grounded and that the world is bigger than our small corner of it.
"People in this area have big hearts. When asked to help, they step up," said Dobson.
Dobson said she has been greatly moved by the students' dedication and willingness to donate to those in need.
"I had an email from a student yesterday who said that he had a couple extra bucks and was going to bring some crayons and coloring books; and then, he apologized for not being able to do more. I had to wait a bit before responding. Here's a kid living paycheck to paycheck, who found a little bit of cash to buy something to send. How beautiful is that? I'm humbled," said Dobson.
Baker and Dobson sent out notifications via Facebook, email lists and community groups to encourage donations for the children.
"I can't fathom what those kids are going through right now. Last night, I watched the rescue efforts on CNN; and while I watched, the sirens blew again in Joplin. I can't fix what happened; but, maybe I can help bring a little joy back to those kids," said Dobson.
To donate money to the victims of the Joplin tornado can do so through the American Red Cross, Americares, Convoy of Hope, Feeding America, United Way, Salvation Army and World Vision. Their individual websites have donation pages and contact information regarding the relief effort.
For more information on the ENMU Joplin children relief effort, contact Larry Baker at Larry.Baker@enmu or 575.562.2130 or Patti Dobson at firstname.lastname@example.com or 575-562-2140.

New Survey: Majority of Americans Know Their Neighbors Pets More Than Their Neighbors' Kids—
Don't Know Most of Their Neighbors' First Names, Cell Phone Numbers or Email Addresses
WhitePages "Neighbors" launches today to help people easily find the names and contact information for their neighbors to promote neighborhood spirit, community partnerships and local safety
With all that modern technology offers, we are losing touch with our neighbors. You know, the people who live next door, across the street, down the road a bit, around the corner? Yes. Those people. White Pages Neighbors is aware of this and trying to help us remedy it- by offering a way for us to locate neighbors close in proximity to our home addresses and sending invites to them with free post cards to a Block Party.
Block Party! How fun would that be? I can remember growing up and even when I was in high school and college people had neighborhood block parties. I always thought that must be so much fun, although I didn't get to attend any because we really haven't ever lived in a 'neighborhood' by any stretch of the imagination. White Pages Neighbors will help you locate neighbors to invite and even print and send postcards just like this one for FREE!
Instead of picking up the phone, pick up a chair and head outside to the front porch- and when a neighbor pops their head out, invite them over for a visit, a glass of lemonade…a game of cards. Who knows what new friendships may be ready to grow?
Despite the fact that most American adults who have neighbors[1] <#_ftn1> (93%) say it's important for neighbors to look out for each other's safety, a new survey conducted online in June 2011 by Harris Interactive on behalf of WhitePages found that more of them can identify most of their neighbors' cars (47%) than most of their neighbors' first names (41%) and that more of them (27%) know most of their neighbors' pets more than most of their neighbors' kids (24%).
WhitePages sponsored the survey in tandem with the launch of a new product announced today called "Neighbors", the first neighborhood satellite aerial map of U.S. household contact information, including first and last name, mailing address, associated household members, and phone number to help neighbors more effectively get in touch.
"Whether you need help during an emergency, in planning a block party, or organizing a neighborhood watch committee, all of your neighbors' contact information is now at your fingertips online for free," said Alex Algard, CEO of WhitePages. "We've spent over 10 years cultivating our local people search database with the most accurate and up to date contact information for nearly every adult in the U.S. and are proud to be able to offer an immersive new viewing mode to help people take a more active part in getting to know and interact with their neighbors."
Going beyond making it easy to look up neighbors' names and contact information, WhitePages has partnered with the National Night Out (NNO) to help neighbors coordinate block parties using the new innovative Block Party Invite and RSVP system offered through WhitePages "Neighbors." Whether it's planning a block party for the 28th Annual NNO scheduled for Tuesday, August 2, 2011 or at any other time of people's choosing, the WhitePages "Neighbors" block party planning tool makes it easy to plan a neighborhood get together with a few clicks without having to worry about tracking down neighbor's names and contact information by sending personalized postcard invites via the U.S. Postal Service for free. With the survey discovering that 34% of American adults who have neighbors do not feel comfortable asking their neighbors to keep an eye on their home when they go away, WhitePages and NNO hope people will use "Neighbors" Block Party invites to foster relationships that lead to effective neighborhood watch initiatives that promote local safety.
While organizations like National Night Out have initiatives in place to improve relationships between neighbors as the key to keeping people safe, including having over 37 million people participate in its annual event last year, the survey discovered that 54% of American adults who have neighbors said their neighbors never have organized social events together. The survey also found that only 17% said they've been inside most of their neighbor's homes and even fewer (8%) said that they get together on a regular basis or are part of a formal block party safety program in their neighborhood (6%). However, according to the survey, 67% percent of Americans who have neighbors would like to know their neighbors better and 52% would like to get together with their neighbor's more often.
"If you look at the 1940s and the 1950s, neighborhoods were safer places because people knew each other. Neighborhoods today are not as tightly knit as they used to be, even with Facebook and other social media tools at their disposal," said Matt Peskin, Executive Director, National Association of Town Watch and creator of National Night Out. "By making it easier to plan block parties any time of the year with 'Neighbors,' WhitePages helps people take a more active part in getting to know and interact with the people who live on their street or at a nearby address, which can help to improve neighborhood spirit, community partnerships, and local safety."
To use "Neighbors," visitors go to WhitePages, look for the "Address & Neighbors" header tab and enter their own address and the results will populate with the name, address, phone number, etc. of their immediate neighbors. Should they want to expand their search beyond their own block, they can enter another address and start searching. WhitePages "Neighbors" also makes it easy for people to claim, edit and publish their contact information, control settings to let people know the best way to reach them or make their contact information private.
Offering local contact information for over 90 percent of U.S. adults, WhitePages uses public records and user-generated listings by more than 3 million WhitePages members to offer mapped views and a complete directory of neighbor contact information for nearly every American household. While the survey showed 67% of people believe that it is important to have contact information for their neighbors, only 8% of people have most of their neighbors' cell phone numbers and only 6% have most of their neighbors' email addresses. WhitePages Neighbors provides everyone with an opportunity to learn their neighbors names and how to reach them whether it is just to meet them for the first time or in case of an emergency.

The fabrics I used are from the Expedition Blue colorway of the collection. I'm really smitten by them. I think the colors are gorgeous and vibrant and there are such unique prints. Really cool.
The quilting on this one was done free-hand by Melissa Kelley of Sew Shabby Quilting. I just gave her free-reign to do what ever she wanted and LOVE how it turned out.
We did do some exploring of our own, so we can count it as an expedition. Above is Snow Canyon outside of St. George.
Safari Moon fabrics are available from the Fat Quarter Shop and Fabricworm. If you'd like to see more gorgeous projects created with the Safari Moon collection, stop by these other blogs on their specific dates.

It's not everyday when someone has an encounter with a shark so big and up close.
"Talk about Jaws, this is the real deal right here," said fisherman Addison Toki, who encountered what he says was a 15-foot Great White Shark.
Toki and his friend Dominick Gaballo were commercial fishing approximately five miles off Yokohama Bay on the west side of Oahu Thursday. They had just hauled in a 300 pound Marlin, when Toki caught a glimpse of the shark near the back of the boat.
"As it got closer and saw just the size and features, we knew it was a Great White," said Gaballo.
18 years ago, Toki says he saw a Great White Shark on the North Shore, but that it doesn't compare to this recent encounter. He estimates the shark was about 15 feet long.
"I see all types of sharks but when you see one like that it's like wow. I'm blown away," said Toki.
After watching the shark circle their boat for more than an hour, Toki and Gaballo headed back to shore with a story to tell and the video to prove it.
"This an unreal trip we'll never forget. That's all I'll say," said Toki.

La Crosse hospitals have to be ready in case of an emergency like the one in Boston.
Gundersen Lutheran says everyone at the hospital has to be prepared, not just doctors and nurses.
The communications department, people who sterilize equipment, even the staff that clean sheets have to be prepared in case of a mass casualty.
It's something the hospital trains for all the time. "Where those people are going to go, who's going to do what and who we plan is something that doesn't come out of thin air, it takes a lot of effort on a lot of people's part to make sure we all know our roll and where we're supposed to be when disaster strikes," said Gundersen Lutheran E.R. Dr. Ben Wedrow.
The La Crosse Fire Department is also prepared. Firefighters train once or twice a year for large scale EMS drills.

New Approach to Electronics Cooling Using a Corona Discharge
Alexandra Foley | August 16, 2013
You may be familiar with the humming start of the mechanical fan that turns on when booting up your laptop computer. Such a fan is necessary to prevent electronic devices from overheating, and the accompanying whirring sound of the cooling system is an unavoidable side effect. As electronic devices become smaller, this mechanical fan must decrease in size as well, and therefore spin faster and faster in order to deliver the same amount of heat dissipation as a larger fan.

There are many necessary steps required in order to create a superior product. Based on some initial (or existing) design, you first need to evaluate the physical characteristics of the system. Once some level of understanding of the system has been obtained, it should then be possible to refine and optimize the design based on some reasonable choice of a figure of merit for a good design. The final stage is to prototype the design, which is where 3D printing […]Read More

As computer hardware becomes more powerful and affordable, simulations are becoming commonplace in new disciplines of science and engineering. Food science engineering is one such area, and there is no shortfall of publications using COMSOL Multiphysics for food-related simulations. Such kinds of analyses pretty much always require several types of physics to be practically relevant.Read More

Multiphysics simulation is all around us, although everyone may not realize it. Simulation may be the last thing people consider when cooking breakfast on the stove, driving with their sun-roof open, or crossing a bridge, but behind these routine activities lies a team of engineers and researchers working to make it all possible — perhaps a team you're part of. I hear bits and pieces of the cool things COMSOL users are doing with the software from my colleagues around […]Read More

In a paper titled "Choosing a Gate Dielectric for Graphene Based Transistors", the applications of a semiconducting form of graphene are examined. As we have seen before, single-layer graphene is not a semiconductor, it is a zero bandgap conductor (a semimetal). Efforts are well underway to introduce bandgaps to graphene, which would make it semiconducting with a room temperature mobility an order of magnitude higher than silicon. The race is already underway to find applications for such a material once […]Read More

Binder and Goodman call for rule change
MONTICELLO, NY — Sullivan County Legislators Leni Binder and Jodi Goodman have called for a changes to the rules of the legislature in the wake of accusations that the two had improperly received seats for performances at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. The legislators have said in the past that they have been seated in the box seat of orchid dealer and philanthropist Stuart Salinger, and said they did not believe they had done anything wrong.
In the past, both have voted twice in favor of admitting parcels owned by Salenger into the county's Agricultural District Number Four against strong opposition from some of the neighbors; an application for another parcel is now pending before the legislature.
Salenger's neighbor, Kathryn Barnhardt, and others testified at a public hearing two weeks ago, that Binder and Goodman should recuse themselves from the votes.
But according to a news release from the county manager's office, Binder asserted that current rules of the legislature do not allow lawmakers to abstain to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, but only to avoid an actual conflict of interest.
Goodman said, "We believe it would be preferable to amend the rules of the legislature to permit a legislator to abstain under circumstances where a legislator has a close relationship with, or has been the beneficiary of hospitality from, a person or firm who has an interest in a matter pending before the legislature."
On the other hand, the current county code of ethics, which is a separate document than the rules, currently says that a legislator can not accept a gift of more than $75 in value "under any circumstances in which it could be reasonably inferred that the gift was intended that the gift was intended to influence him or her or could reasonably be expected to influence him or her in the performance of his or her official duties or was intended as an award for any official action on his or her part."
A spokesperson for Bethel Woods said the value of Salenger's box is "private consumer information that Bethel Woods does not give out," and added, "there are too many variables to determine the cost of the tickets in question." Information on the organization's website says "starting at $5,500, boxes feature two, four, six or eight premium seats for you and your guests at every Main Stage performance."
Binder and Goodman also called for the review of a draft ethics law, which is intended to update the code of ethics law, which was adopted in 1998. The legislators say the draft law does not include "recent ethics reforms that were initiated by Cuomo earlier this month."
County chairman Jonathan Rouis said he would heed the request and appoint a commission to review the law. He said there must be a policy that "more clearly defines gifts, and the prohibition of gifts only from those individuals, firms, or organizations that have a stated value, and that have a contract with Sullivan County or have an interest in legislation before the county."
He added, "County officers or employees should not be prohibited from providing or receiving hospitality from individuals, forms, or organizations that have no contracts with Sullivan County, nor any interest in matters where the officer or employee would have any jurisdiction."
Former county legislator Sean Rieber took objection to the two press releases about the matter. He sent out an email that said, "It is an insult to the public that two legislators who got caught with their hands in the cookie jar can attempt to change the rules so they can save face."

Baby's DNA in Mom's Blood: Noninvasive Prenatal Testing
Until recently, the moment of birth was a surprise. We anxiously awaited the obstetrician's announcement: "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" Then we checked to see if any crucial parts were missing and we counted the fingers and toes. We had to wait for a baby to be born before we could know its sex and whether it was normal. Today, thanks to prenatal testing, we can know the sex of a fetus, diagnose a number of genetic abnormalities and malformations, and we can even operate on the fetus in utero to correct certain problems before birth. I had amniocentesis for my two pregnancies because of the higher risk of Down syndrome at my age (37 and 39). It was reassuring to know the baby didn't have Down syndrome, and it was fun for my husband to point to my burgeoning belly and introduce it to people as "our daughter Kristin."
Amniocentesis is invasive, carries risks, and can't be done until the 15th to 20th week of pregnancy. Now there is a safe, noninvasive, accurate blood test that can be done as early as the 9th week. It analyzes cell-free fetal DNA (cfDNA) circulating in the mother's blood. It sounds ideal, but there are some caveats. It's not yet appropriate to recommend it to all pregnant women. An editorial in The New England Journal of Medicine expressed concern that pressures are promoting diffusion of cfDNA testing beyond the boundaries of available evidence. (more…)
