Why not start your own flying club?March 12, 2014 by Mark Baker
There's nothing better than having everything you need all in one package—especially when you're launching into something new. That's why today we introduced "AOPA's Guide to Starting a Flying Club"—a one-stop primer to help you turn a dream into a reality.
Flying clubs are a great way to enjoy the benefits of aircraft ownership while sharing costs and camaraderie with your fellow pilots. But not everyone has access to a club, or maybe you just haven't found the perfect fit. You can solve that by taking matters into your own hands, and this guide can help.
I'm a hands-on, practical person. So when I take on a new project I look for experts who can give me real-world answers to my questions, and help me figure out what I need to know. That's what this guide is designed to do.
It covers the biggest issues you need to consider in starting a flying club and, just as important, tells you how to overcome roadblocks along the way. Not only will you find expert advice on everything from how to choose the right airplane to what to look for in insurance, you'll also find sample forms, rules, lease agreements, and more—the nitty gritty that can make things run smoothly or give you heartburn.
I'm a big believer in flying clubs. For many pilots who want great access to aircraft, more affordable flying, a chance to network with others pilots, and a reason to bring the family out to the airport, the right flying club can deliver.
If you've ever thought about starting a club, take a few minutes to find out what's really involved and how easy it can be to make your dreams come true. Even if you're considering joining an existing club, this guide can help you understand what goes into making a club tick. You can download "AOPA's Guide to Starting a Flying Club" for free from AOPA.org.

The DWR's main revenue source is from license and permit sales.
The Utah DWR has several funding sources that are used to support its programs. Many of these programs support wildlife species that are pursued by hunters and anglers, while others support non-game species. Certain programs, such as habitat restoration and protection, directly support both game and non-game species.
The Division of Wildlife Resources annual budget for fiscal year 2016 (July 1, 2015 to June 31, 2016) was $85,173,934. DWR receives the following types of revenue:
Restricted funds: The majority of DWR's revenue is generated from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses and permits. These funds are restricted for exclusive use by DWR and cannot be transferred to other state agencies. One hundred percent of the license dollars collected stay within the DWR to carry out the division's mission to conserve and protect the wildlife of Utah. Funding overages or shortages are managed through an interest-bearing account maintained by the State Treasurer. Other types of funding in this category are revenues from Certificates of Registration (CORs), donations, wildlife license plates and miscellaneous fees.
Federal funds: Each year, the DWR receives federal funds for wildlife, sportfish and sensitive and endangered species. Federal funds for the wildlife and sport fish programs come from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The DWR receives revenue allocated by the USFWS from federal excise taxes on hunting and shooting equipment and fishing equipment and motorboat fuel. Each state's allocation is based on the state's hunting and fishing license sales and land area. These funds are generally matched with state funds in the ratio of 75 percent federal to 25 percent state funds.
Federal funding for sensitive and endangered species is generally distributed through grant requests. The DWR has received between $200,000 and $13 million annually for research and habitat protection for sensitive and endangered species. Other federal agencies, including the Bureau of Reclamation, Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Department of Defense, award funds to accomplish their agency goals on a contract basis.
Dedicated funds: Certain operations, such as Hardware Ranch, generate limited funds to be used only by the DWR. Contributions are also dedicated funds.
General funds: General funds (tax dollars) account for nine percent of DWR's annual budget. These funds are used primarily for sensitive species, law enforcement, wildlife depredation and some fish hatchery programs. Because the legislature has indicated that the DWR should not use hunting or fishing license revenue to fund nongame species management, these funds help cover the costs of nongame management.
An annual work plan and budgeting process ensures that all funds are optimized. DWR's fiscal responsibility is reflected in its performance in both state and federal audits.
During the 1995 general session, the legislature created the Wildlife Habitat Account. This account provides dedicated funds to be used only for the enhancement, preservation, management, acquisition and protection of fish and wildlife habitat and for improving public access for fishing and hunting. The Wildlife Habitat Account generates about $2 million each year for projects.
Habitat Council: Project proposals originate in the field. They are then reviewed and prioritized by regional management teams and then forwarded to the Habitat Council for review and recommendation. The DWR director authorizes projects and the money to do them. This council is comprised of four DWR representatives and four citizens who represent big game, waterfowl, upland game and sport fishing interests. All potential projects are brought to the Habitat Council for review. DWR habitat managers present these projects, but they can originate from another agency, a landowner or anyone Utah.
Investing in the future: From our perspective, this habitat program represents an enormous opportunity, a great responsibility and the best possible investment for the future.
The hunting and fishing public has always been willing to pay their way and has strongly supported programs designed to produce tangible results on the ground. Our commitment is to build on our successes and expand our efforts to the benefit of all wildlife habitat and citizen interests throughout the state.
Revenue categories
Expense categories
While the Division budget may seem large, it is rather small compared to many western states. This is due, in part, to revenue limitations that Utah has placed on itself by restricting the quantities of licenses, by restricting the numbers of non-resident licenses, and through efforts to keep the cost of hunting and fishing licenses at nominal levels.

Television personality Leeza Gibbons honors her mother�s legacy by reaching out to caregivers.
Leeza Gibbons may have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a raft of Emmy nominations for her 1994-2000 daytime talk show, and a current work resume that boasts of two TV co-hosting gigs (on �America Now� and �My Generation�) and the syndicated radio show, �Hollywood Confidential.� Not to mention her own mineral makeup line, Sheer Cover, and an award-winning book under her belt (Take Your Oxygen First) with another on the way (Take 2, out February 5, 2013).
But of all Leeza�s ventures and interests, what she loves most is reaching out to the millions of family caregivers in the U.S. with a been-there-done-that kind of support she says is sorely needed.
Leeza�s own experience of caring for her mother, who died of Alzheimer�s in 2008, opened her eyes to the need for resources and support for caregivers, particularly those dealing with Alzheimer�s. �Caring for someone with memory loss is one of the most depleting forms of caregiving,� she says. �But the whole notion of caregiving in general�it�s the thing that we don�t really have language for. Nobody really prepares for it, and it�s the ultimate sure thing.�
[caption id="attachment_57230" align="alignleft" width="490"] Leeza and mom Jean in 2002[/caption]
Since 2002, Leeza has been helping families better anticipate�and navigate�the caregiving territory through The Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation�and its signature program�Leeza's Place, which offers free services for family caregivers. She has laid bare her own family�s struggle to come to grips with her mother�s disease, the �changing of the guard� that happens when the parent/child roles reverse, and the turmoil that often occurs when family members try to parse out caregiving responsibilities through a series of videos on Alzheimersdisease.com. �My dad, my brother, my sister-in-law and all of our children had a no-holds-barred intimate discussion on video,� she says. �I hope that by sharing what we experienced will be a trigger for other families to talk about what they�re going through.�
That caregiver-to-caregiver sharing of experience is the idea behind �Conversations in Caregiving, a live webcast on November 15, where Alzheimer�s caregivers can submit questions and have them answered by Leeza and a team of experts.
We spoke with Leeza about the challenges�and rewards�of caregiving.
Spry: How do you suggest people who are heading into this caregiving relationship begin to plan? There�s this idea that we�re going to will something bad to happen if we think about it too much. How do we get over that?
Leeza: An unnamed enemy has way too much power over us. There is great strength and comfort in knowing our limits, and it�s courageous to accept our limits. Part of our basic need on the planet is connectiveness. And when we�re caregiving or receiving care, we�re so intimately connected to another person�but we resist it. When we can relax into it, and we can accept the new reality, it can be so rewarding. But that�s a process; it�s a real process.
The people who are ahead of you on the path have incredible wisdom. Just knowing that somebody has survived it and is still standing is incredibly validating. And I think that�s probably the answer to your question, being able to look far enough down the path and say, �Wow, there�s somebody who�s been able to hang on to themselves while letting go of someone they love.� Life is really just a series of hanging on and letting go, and it�s that dance of knowing when to do which.
Spry: How did you plan for your mother�s care? Did you have the same challenges faced by the caregivers you connect with now?
Leeza:� One of the reasons why I felt so passionate about being an advocate for these kinds of issues is that I was one of the lucky ones. My mom communicated her wishes. She saw her mother die of Alzheimer�s disease, and from the time I was a little girl, my mom talked about what she wanted for her funeral and how she wanted to be taken care of. That was incredibly courageous and saved us a lot of bickering as a family. Trust me, we were still in denial, we still didn�t want to accept it, but it got us to our own moment of truth more quickly.
Spry: How did you deal with the conflict and denial?
Leeza:� We said: What if we just got real about it? What if we just talked about it? We talked about the diagnosis and what it was like to have that moment, what my dad went through, my resentment about my brother not showing up in the same way that the rest of us thought we were showing up. Everybody wants to believe that we all love equally, but families get into real locked-horns over trying to divvy up responsibilities with caregiving, and it�s not possible. Most healthcare advocates will say to let that go, because we spend so much time trying to make it fair instead of trying to make it work.
Spry: Wouldn�t it be helpful to talk through each family member�s strengths and how they can contribute in the best way possible?
Leeza: In a non-emotional situation, that would make sense. But when your heart�s involved, it�s not so easy for the logical roles to present themselves. All those childhood wounds, all that stuff comes out.
Spry: Your mother was good about communicating how she wanted to be cared for. What would you advise if you have a parent who isn�t going to initiate any of those kinds of conversations?
Leeza: Parents are used to nurturing and protecting, and they don�t want to ever be a burden on their children. It�s a dignity issue, and as children, we have to be really sensitive to that. That�s why conversations need to happen when you�re not in the middle of a health crisis. But when you�re already in a health crisis, I think it�s a great idea to have someone else be the �bad guy.� There are so many non-profits and health agencies and even online support groups where you can have somebody anonymous be an intervening force, so nobody in your family has to wear that title. In most families it�s easier to have somebody from the outside come in and say, �Let�s talk about so and so,� or �Did you read the article by this doctor that says this and that?� Even with your family physician, talking with your physician about: Can you bring in a neurologist? Can you bring in a specialist? Because to take that on as a child or as a sibling is much harder than having the professional help shoulder that burden for you.
Spry: What would be the first step you would take if you were at, say, Thanksgiving dinner and you�re noticing that your mom seems more forgetful, she�s telling the same story over and over again or somehow seems like she�s may be declining?
Leeza: A public gathering is not the time to take it on. Redirecting the concern and cushioning any potential embarrassment to the loved one at that moment is probably the most loving thing. Then plan for a follow up when there can be more attention put on whatever the incident may be. Expect resistance, expect maybe even indignation�it�s not like there are many cases where the loved one is going to say with open arms, �Thanks for bringing this to my attention; I�ve been worried too.� That does happen, but it�s rare. And it�s rare because the loved one is scared too. These unspoken fears cause us to build walls, and they get higher and higher and they become impenetrable. Emotions run so high at the holidays anyway. We have to remember that a couple of really important �F� words: flexibility and forgiveness. To be more forgiving than you think you can be, and more flexible than you�ve ever been.
Spry: What if you plan a follow up visit after the holiday hoopla is over?
Leeza: That�s a great idea, because the hoopla hides what�s real. Trying to drop in when there�s more consistency of day-to-day reality is when you�re going to get your best viewing of how you can be helpful. The other thing that can be helpful is to take time and write something down that�s simple but thoughtful, that maybe your parent can spend some time with. So you can say �I want to come visit you next month maybe when we get together we can talk about A and B.� Not too elaborate. Not too much. Not like an inquisition, or like a big task. Maybe to give both sides some time to sit with it and really think about it.
Spry: A recent survey suggested that people often become caregivers without being aware of it�their parents slowly decline, and the adult children take on more and more responsibility until they are overwhelmed. Do you have any ideas on how to recognize where that turning point is?
Leeza: We get so blindsided by our own fear and our own sense of loss that it takes us a second to go �Oh my gosh,� because we�re so used to being cared for by this person. It means a loss. It means a lifestyle change. It means grieving. It means we have to become a service for our parent. It gets back to how do you get to that earlier, and that�s through conversations. The culture is shifting, and this is why we�re doing Conversations in Caregiving. We�ve got people who are looking ahead, who are already saying �What if?� We didn�t have that years ago. I think it�s getting better, I think we�ve got people coming to it earlier. This is really just an awareness situation, and I think the web is the biggest advantage that we have going in the past decade.
Spry: Did you ever feel burned out as a caregiver? I know you have three kids too, and a huge career. How did you step back and re-energize?
Leeza: You know, it�s really vital to do that, but it takes daily awareness. Before my mom died, I didn�t realize how quickly the pressure builds up. At that time I was hosting Extra, and I would get off the air and head out the studio door, and I would walk. The stage was in this residential area, and I would walk and walk and walk and walk and I record whatever was on my mind on a little digital recorder. Some days I would yell and scream and cry and some days I would ask questions. I don�t know what I said into that recorder, but I did it religiously, and it was like a valve release. That was helpful�as much as anything, the exercise was helpful. I felt like most people feel; I didn�t think other people would understand. I felt very isolated, and I didn�t want to share the problem with anyone, I didn�t want people to think I couldn�t handle my life and I didn�t want people to see me as being weak. We forget that showing our vulnerability is strength, it�s not weakness. And when we ask for help, that�s a sign that we�re aware. And that�s part of what I love about the work I�m doing now.��

Implications for practice and research
Cardiometabolic biomarkers are associated with higher TV viewing and indicate a reduction in TV viewing for adolescents may be warranted.
TV viewing may not be a good marker of overall sedentary behaviour.
TV viewing may be part of wider cluster of 'unhealthy' behaviours.
In future, researchers should assess more than TV viewing when looking at sedentary behaviour.
Sedentary behaviour comprises a range of sitting (and lying down) behaviours characterised by very low-energy expenditure. There has been a major increase in research interest in sedentary behaviour over the past few years and a growing concern among health and education professionals, as well as parents, that excessive 'screen …

Why an American family, despite paying the ultimate price, continues to engage in a conflict that isn't their own.
The terrorist attack punctuated a spring day in Haifa, Israel, when a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up on a city bus full of children heading home after school. As usually happens in Israel after a terror attack, phones began buzzing with friends and family calling to check on the well-being of their loved ones.
Israel was in the throes of the second Palestinian uprising from 2001 to 2004. Residents lived daily with the threat of bombings and shootings in any metropolitan area. Tensions were palpable, security guards were hired at all public establishments—from post offices to supermarkets, and tourism was down drastically.
Philip and Heidi Litle were home sifting through photos of their children dressed for Purim, the biblical commemoration of the miraculous deliverance of the Jewish people recorded in the book of Esther, when the calls started coming in to their home. The Litles did a mental review of the whereabouts of their five children. They all should have been accounted for, not on the bus in question, according to initial news reports—which were rushed and inaccurate with a bevy of misinformation stemming from confusion at the scene. read more

'Beef' Bevilacqua wants to be H'town judge
SARANAC LAKE – A local electrician has mounted a write-in campaign for a Harrietstown justice seat that no one else seems to want.
Michael "Beef" Bevilacqua, a Republican and the brother of town Supervisor Bob Bevilacqua, said he had considered asking the Harrietstown Republican caucus to endorse him for the four-year justice seat in August, but hadn't made up his mind at that point.
"I was kind of wishy-washy, but I didn't want to leave them hanging, so I said no," Bevilacqua said. "I thought they would get a candidate, but nobody stepped up, so I started thinking about it again. Finally I just said, 'I'm never going to get another opportunity like this.'"
Asked why he wants to be a Harrietstown justice, Bevilacqua said, "It's something that I liked doing before."
In 1979, Bevilacqua was elected to a town of Santa Clara justice seat, but he resigned after his first term was up because of conflict-of-interest concerns that arose when he took a correction officer job. (Editor's note: This sentence has been corrected.)
Bevilacqua, 62, retired from the state Department of Corrections in 2010. During the time he was a CO and since he retired, he has continued to run his local electrical contracting business, Beef's Electric.
The seat Bevilacqua is pursuing became available following Howard Riley's resignation in August. None of the town's political parties – Republicans, Democrats or Conservatives – were able to find someone to run for the position before the deadline to get candidates on the Nov. 5 ballot. However, someone could still win the seat by write-in, according to the Franklin County Board of Elections.
Asked why they thought no one was interested in the job, local Democratic and Republican party officials have cited the challenges of being a town justice, including understanding the complications of the legal process, the training, the odd hours of the job and the recent sanctions leveled against Riley by the state Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Bevilacqua said he's done the job before, so those challenges are not a major concern for him. As for the possibility of the state commission looking over his shoulder, Bevilacqua quipped, "If you're going to say something off color, just make sure the tape (recording) is off."
Since his name won't appear on the ballot, Bevilacqua said he'll put up signs to let people know he's running and that they have to write in his name. He said people can use either "Beef" or "Michael" Bevilacqua.
"Most people know me by Beef, not Michael," Bevilacqua said. "We checked the do's and don'ts, and I think they're going to accept 'Michael "Beef,"' or if someone just writes 'Beef Bevilacqua.' It's kind of confusing until you see the ballot, but justice is the last one far to the right. All the way down to the bottom is the write-in space, and you can just write it in there."
Bevilacqua's campaign is backed by the Working for Harrietstown committee, which describes itself as a community-based organization supporting the economic growth, culture and residents of the town. The group is backing the slate of Republican and Conservative candidates on the town ballot.

so nice to find gluten and dairy free items this one is great, I use it in cooking my chicken and I add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. It's very tasty!
Best alternative to bread crumbs

I season this with oregano, celtic salt, and an all- purpose seasoning. My family always comments on how good my breaded chicken is when I use this.
Posted by ipanpan on May 13, 2015
Crunchy and nice replacement for breadcrumbs. However, I noticed because it's quite fine and it gets burn easily in the pan and makes the oil dirtier faster (colours darker too). So I suggest if you are frying a big batch of fried stuff fry thrm in smaller batch to reduce oil wastage.
Posted by healthymuslimah on Feb 26, 2016
If you add herbs and spices, this is very usable. Very bland on its own. I'd rather use almost meal to be honest.

Vancouver promises Green Games as Winter Olympics kick off
UNEP to assess Games' environmental performance
Vancouver (Canada), 12 February 2010 - As the 2010 Winter Olympics kick off in Vancouver, the athletes will not be the only ones going for gold - the Game organizers are also shooting for the stars with a series of ambitious environmental goals.
The Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC) have been working with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) over the last three years in a bid to enhance the event's environmental performance and increase green awareness.
The Olympic organizers have focused on minimizing the event's carbon impact, with clean technology choices, an expanded transport system for the city, green construction for the Olympic venues, and a commitment to offset direct carbon emissions from the Games.
Some of the environmentally-friendly features of the Olympic sites include low-flow toilets that use rainwater for flushing, energy-efficient grass-clad roofs and separate bins for compostable waste.
The Games' green performance will be reviewed by UNEP in an Environmental Assessment Report which will be published later in 2010.
The report will look at areas such as the greening of the venues, sustainable transport and waste management, and Vancouver 2010's climate neutrality target and work with non-governmental organizations.
VANOC is also planning to use the Games to inspire broader awareness and action on climate-change solutions.
UNEP and VANOC have partnered on the Do Your Part video contest, which called on youth aged 13 to 24 across Canada to produce a 30- to 90-second video or animation clip to show how youth can do their part to live a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle during and well beyond the 2010 Games.
The winner of the video contest will be announced at an award ceremony on 13 February during a special event to celebrate contributions to the Vancouver 2010 Sustainability Program.
The award ceremony will be attended by Wilfried Lemke, the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Sport for Development and Peace.
UNEP's work with Vancouver 2010 is one of several partnerships with major sporting events to help lower the carbon footprint of sports and raise green awareness.
UNEP is advising the organizers of the Sochi 2014 Olympics in Russia, and has also worked with Torino 2006 and Beijing 2008 - producing an Environmental Assessment of the Beijing Games that assessed how well the 2008 organizers fulfilled their eco-pledges.
This year, UNEP is partnering with the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, where it is helping to fund solar-powered and energy-efficient street lamps, traffic lights and billboards in several host cities around the country.
In addition, UNEP is involved in partnerships to help green the Commonwealth Games which will take place in New Delhi (India) in October 2010, as well as the Indian Premier League (IPL) for cricket.
Notes to Editors
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in October 2007 at UN headquarters in New York City to enhance the environmental performance at the 2010 Winter Games and increase public awareness of the importance of environmental protection and sustainable development.
UNEP's Environmental Assessment Report on the Vancouver Games' green performance will be published in late 2010.

Chu on coal
The Columbus Dispatch - September 19, 2013 12:33 PM
This week in Columbus, former energy secretary Steven Chu gave a warm embrace to fracking and natural gas, which made some environmentalists cringe.
But those same green-tinted critics would probably like his views on coal, which he said will fade as a fuel for electricity generation "just on the economic basis."
During this speech to a gas-industry conference, he noted that there are "essentially no coal plants on the drawing board in the United States."
Later on, when he took questions from reporters, I asked him about the outlook for coal jobs in places such as Ohio.
"New coal plants cost a lot of money," he said. "They are very capital intensive."
With coal plants closing, and almost no new ones, the coal industry is now shipping an increasing share of its product to India and China, he said.
Despite this, he thinks the United States should continue to do research into carbon capture technology to reduce pollution from coal plants. Even if there won't be many of the plants remaining in this country, the technology can improve the air and water in some of those other countries, he said.

I know you hate our D but it's pretty hard to crack the lineup when they are a top 5 bunch... and yes, I know we need more TO's.
The offense though... sucks.
Gilbert didn't do well.... he fell on half the team and NEVER finished a game. This is my issue with the "look at the offense when you put the young guys in"
The offense is offensive... so getting in and contributing to a 21st ranked O shouldn't be applauded while bashing a D that is top 5 EVERY YEAR.
If you factor in the injuries we had to our top players like Troy missing most of the season, Harrison, Woodley and later Ike missing time, plus average play from our D-line LeBeau did a remarkable job. The thing is he's no one year wonder, LeBeau is consistent with his defense for many years.
Eifert could end up being the wild card pick, if so I wouldn't mind.

Earlier this year I declared that Bitcoin was (nearly) dead. But as The Princess Bride's Miracle Max once explained, "There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do."
Right now, Bitcoin is only mostly dead. As an investment, it was the worst of 2014. As a currency, it was destroyed by the IRS by a single sentence ("For federal tax purposes, virtual currency is treated as property."). All that really remains is for it to become a financial network. But then it will be likely killed (i.e., all dead) with one word: regulation.
As Henry Farrell explains, Bitcoin has only survived this long because the U.S. government hasn't really considered it to be a viable financial network:

Rooted in the desire for travel and the visions that this experience incurs, we preset the Wanderlust: Paris Wallpaper Collection. The series is comprised of images with a focus on the city of Paris, including new patterns and murals that incorporate landmarks, transit, contemporary photography, and classic works by French artists such as Degas and Monet. The aim is both to help the viewer connect with the medium through custom installations, and to encourage the collective emotional response that the act of travel inspires.
The notion of wanderlust is one that is universally shared, and an experience that most yearn to revisit. With this concept in mind, the Wanderlust Collection was created as a visually transportive product. The individual elements that make up the series exist as components that can be ordered and printed on demand. With this, there is less waste, and clients can customize any space into an interaction-based experience that triggers both nostalgia and adventure.

Barrier islands and inshore haunts often provide enough shelter from whipping winds to give anglers a shot at some success.
By DAVID A. BROWN
Published April 24, 2007
A blustery spring has robbed Nature Coast anglers of many fishing opportunities. The big fan has brought swollen seas offshore, stirred water near shore and been a general navigational nuisance.
Fortunately, we're coming out of the traditional windy season, but when "weather" days occur, those who cherish their time outdoors shouldn't let rustling trees scratch their plans.
Windy day strategy
-Fish the lee: Land, trees and buildings break the blow and offer relatively calm areas on the downwind side.
Look for such protection around coastal islands from the St. Martin's Keys off Homosassa, Durney Key near the Cotee River, Anclote Key and the many barrier and spoil islands reaching into St. Joseph Sound.
Rivers, canals and creeks also offer shelter, as do the backwaters of the Nature Coast marshes and bayous. Fish as you would in exposed locations, but note how the wind may concentrate baitfish in certain areas, and concentrate on where predators may find easy meals.
This strategy won't work offshore, because there's nothing to break the wind. If you're up to the challenge of working in rough water, check the National Weather Service forecasts www.nws.noaa.gov to get an idea of where you can run and how conditions may improve or decline in deeper water.
-Slow down: The good thing about wind is that it facilitates drift fishing over flats or offshore structure. Of course, too much of a good thing can stymie your efforts by pushing you across your spot too quickly for an effective presentation.
For inshore drifts, a light, mushroom-shaped "sand anchor" decreases your drift speed by dragging along the bottom. Smooth, rounded edges prevent sea grass damage.
Coastal and offshore anglers can decrease their drift speed by towing a drift sock ("sea anchor") or a 5-gallon bucket drilled with flow-through holes. Tethering the sea anchor or bucket to your upwind stern cleat keeps your downwind side facing the drift area for optimal presentation.
Towing buckets or sea anchors from both sides of the boat keeps your bow facing into the drift zone. This is best when slow-trolling baits off the stern.
-Punching through: Dense, low-profile objects offer less wind resistance, so your casts reach farther. Gold spoons, slender soft-plastic jerkbaits and suspending plugs offer optimal distance, especially when fished on braided line.
For natural baits, a live shrimp threaded tail-first onto a quarter-ounce jig is hard to beat. If you're using live baitfish, such as pilchards or threadfin herring, you'll get more distance by free-lining, as opposed to the wind-grabbing cork rig.
If habitat merits floating baits, use a slip cork with a stop knot. With this rig, your cork rests aerodynamically against the bait when casting and slides up to the stopping point when the bait hits the water.
Fashion this rig by adding a plastic bead and then a sliding cork to your main line.
With a small piece of monofilament, tie a double overhand knot around the main line and snip the ends closely. Adjust the cork height by moving the stop knot up or down the main line.
With any rig, sidearm casts keep your bait flying under the wind, while overhead lobs often lose velocity and fall short of the target. Also, with high casts, the wind blows a "belly" in your line and lays excessive slack on the surface.
The problem with the latter is twofold. First, a lot of slack means slow reaction time should you draw a quick strike. Moreover, when the belly in your line falls to the surface, you end up retrieving in more of a soft curve than in a straight line. When targeting specific structure, this can take your bait off course.
Alternative activities
Sometimes, windy conditions are just too much to overcome. Nevertheless, the Nature Coast still offers plenty of productive activity, even when the lines remain limp.
On foot, or silently drifting inside a leeward area, observant anglers will enjoy candid glimpses of diverse bird populations. From shy sanderlings and sandpipers foraging along beaches, to Great White Herons regally perched atop mangroves, to ospreys snatching fresh fish dinners from the flats, stunning photo opportunities abound.
Elsewhere, coastal cleanup is always a productive activity. A healthy environment helps ensure good fishing when more favorable conditions prevail, so consider filling your downtime by collecting trash and debris that mars the natural beauty and imperils local wildlife.
In addition to generic trash, such as bottles and cans, look for plastic six-pack holders. Particularly dangerous for marine birds and sea turtles, the latter often ends up around their necks, impairs feeding and may lead to strangulation.
Monofilament also accumulates in the environment when anglers break off snagged lines, or dump old line into the water. Look for wads of mono near mangrove shorelines, docks and oyster bars. Removing these death traps helps protect what makes the Nature Coast special.

'Building A Bar-B-Q'
CELORON – Lucille Ball's childhood home recently received an addition.
59 Lucy Lane in Celoron now has a barbecue grill thanks to Mary Rapaport, owner, and Jason Sivak, of Sivak Stonemasonry. But, the barbecue isn't like any other, it is a recreation of the barbecue from "I Love Lucy" season six, episode 23, "Building A Bar-B-Q."
Those who remember the episode may recall the events that led up to the botched reconstruction of a barbecue grill that Ricky Ricardo and Fred Mertz had built in the couple's backyard. But, for those who have never seen the episode, a short explanation is that Lucy lost her wedding ring and thought that it might be inside the cement mortar of the newly constructed brick barbecue, which she proceeds to disassemble with Ethel. Upon discovering that the ring was in fact not lost within the barbecue, the duo attempt to reconstruct it, and the end result is disastrous.
The reconstructed barbecue is the one that can now be seen in the backyard of 59 Lucy Lane. The original episode can be viewed on Hulu at www.hulu.com/watch/438071. The reconstructed barbecue appears at 19 minutes 45 seconds in the episode.
"Fans are absolutely going to die when they see this barbecue," said Rapaport. "It even has a secret golden ring hidden within the mortar."
In addition to the barbecue, a flagstone patio which resembles the one depicted in the "I Love Lucy" episode was also completed. Plus, lilac bushes, which Ball was a lover of, line the perimeter of the property.
According to Rapaport, the lilacs were cultivated from the original bushes that existed when Ball lived at the home. She believes they will be in full bloom this summer.
Rapaport will celebrate the construction of the barbecue grill during the annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, which is scheduled for Aug. 1-4. The celebration will include a fundraising barbecue with hot dogs and beans cooked on the grill that will serve to benefit Hospice Chautauqua County's Pet Peace of Mind program. The program is designed to help provide services that keep patients and their pets together through the end of life journey.
"Our very first fundraiser on the grill will be for Hospice, and it will be called 'For the Love of Dogs,'" said Rapaport. "During the Lucy festival every year we have the biggest garage sale you've ever seen. We try to make it a big Lucy picnic, the way that she used to do picnics. It's a way for Lucy Lane to bring more community members to support local things. This really is all about Lucy, and I don't think there will be a fan that comes here who won't want a wiener off of this grill."
In addition to the fundraiser for Hospice, Rapaport also has a garden on the property from which fruits and vegetables are grown and donated to St. Susan Center.
"We decided what better way to help St. Susan Center than to put in a Fritzie Boy garden," said Rapaport. "It's called Fritzie Boy because Fred Ball's wife called him that. This will be our second year making the donations."
Rapaport's desire to support local businesses and organizations extends deep into the barbecue project. She contracted Sivak Stonemasonry, of Lakewood, in order to keep the project as local as possible.
"I do like to use hometown and homegrown products – I'm all about local business," said Rapaport.
According to Sivak, upon first hearing of the project, he felt it was something that he and his crew weren't interested in doing.
"But, then Mary dropped the DVD of the episode off at my house on the same day that the whole crew was picking up their paychecks," said Sivak. "So, I made the whole crew sit down on the couch to watch the episode because we needed to know the story if we were going to build the barbecue. Everybody ended up having fun in the process."
To build the barbecue, Sivak and his crew utilized repurposed old Jamestown bricks. According to Sivak, the project was unusual because he is used to striving for perfection, whereas the project called for perfection in imperfection. Although the barbecue is not an exact replica, Sivak attempted to get as close as possible to the original concept. But, he also had to take into consideration that the barbecue had to be functional.
"It was more exciting than a regular barbecue because it was way harder to build," said Sivak. "The hardest challenge was using the Jamestown brick, because in the episode the grill sits at an angle, so we put brackets in so that it would sit at an angle and extra brackets so that you could straighten it out."

ECM: Solving the Problem of Unstructured Data
Technology has been fantastically effective in developing new ways for business workers to create, share and store data. But that development comes at a price: Not only are organizations drowning in information, but it's spread among myriad repositories and often invisible to everyone but a particular department or individual. This makes it hard for users and IT to find relevant information, and even harder for IT to meet regulatory and compliance requirements that might be associated with particular data.
Enterprise content management is designed to solve these problems, but despite being embraced by myriad software vendors, ECM is more than just a product category. It's a set of information strategies, document taxonomies and business processes that must have significant buy-in from C-level managers, IT and the end users who create and consume data.
We'll examine the state of ECM in today's enterprise, drawing upon a recent InformationWeek Analytics survey of more than 400 technology professionals to understand how extensively ECM is being used, why it's being deployed, the barriers to wider adoption, the features buyers want, the new technologies vendors are pushing and ECM's relevance in the era of Web 2.0 and social networking. We'll wrap up with some recommendations for those (the majority of our respondents) who don't yet have an ECM strategy on how to bootstrap an effective ECM program that won't turn into another dead-end project.

Thank you Bob. New York style will be rewarding for me, but I'll be limited to 14 inch diameter pies. Neapolitan style in a WFO appeals to me as well, but I'm not equipped for it. Your suggestion to learn about Baker's Percent is well-taken. It was a confusing concept to me when I first encountered it. I've very recently started converting my more frequently baked bread recipes to baker's percentages. It's helping me to understand and control hydration better, at least, which helps me to achieve better batch to batch consistency. It should make scaling a recipe very easy too.

Zoning changes go too far
At a work session tonight, members of the Minot Planning Commission will continue to discuss sweeping changes and additions to the city's zoning ordinances. The meeting is planned for 6:30 tonight at City Hall.
We hope the meeting is full of members of the public as well as representatives from all construction companies doing business in the area. The proposal, if approved later by the full City Council, would have great and costly impacts on businesses and individuals alike.
Of great concern is the breadth and scope of a massive document discussing the proposed changes, which have been in the works for some time now. Of greater concern is that these changes appear to be dangerously close to being approved, without nearly enough public comment and input from local residents and industry professionals.
The changes would affect every aspect of new construction and remodeling.
– The single-family residential district section says there can be "no bright or garish shingles." New homes must be built so that the entrance faces the street. Each side of a home must have at least one window or door opening.
– In the commercial section, there are restrictions on colors of siding and shingles, and requirements for roofs, fencing, windows, doors and exterior design.
There are hundreds more examples we could write here. We understand there must be reasonable oversight regarding construction within the city. But the proposal goes far, far beyond reasonable. If adopted, the changes would cause construction delays and would quickly raise the cost of construction, and the cost of housing in Minot. Is that something the city really wants to do during a period of flood recovery? We wouldn't think so.
The city needs to rethink this proposal, and the harmful effects of such unnecessary and draconian changes.

Free to be married
This is a marriage certificate issued to Peter Thompson and Maria Hall, both former slaves, in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, on January 28, 1867. While many slave couples formed lasting bonds during their enslavement, slave marriages had no legal foundation or protection. The abolishment of slavery not only meant citizenship but the ability to have legally recognized marriages without fear of the loss of a spouse through sale. The Bureau helped facilitate and record marriages.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Homemade BBQ Sauce
- 1 pork shoulder roast (Boston Butt or Picnic roast), about 6 to 8 pounds
- 4 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Homemade Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
- 10 to 12 sandwich buns
Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours.
Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired; I just love the crunchy bits of skin left on top! Using 2 forks or your hands, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Serve with sauce and buns to make sandwiches.
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Yield: 2/3 cup
Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch
Published by William and Morrow, 1993.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup cider vinegar
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
In a medium non-reactive saucepan set over medium-high heat, add the butter and, when melted, add the onions and cook until they are very soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, Essence, ground mustard, salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste begins to brown. Add the water, cider vinegar, and dark brown sugar, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have come together, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Set aside to cool before using. The sauce may be made up to 1 week in advance and refrigerated in an airtight, non-reactive container.
Yield: about 3 cups sauce

Doug Winter: After a four year hiatus, coinage of eagles at the New Orleans mint resumed in 1888. Beginning with this issue, the level of rarity and the grade distribution of these issues takes on an entirely different complexion. Clearly, these issues did not see wide circulation and it is probable that those which were not ultimately melted were shipped overseas.
The 1888-O has become a relatively common date in grades up to and including MS62. It is still scarce in properly graded MS63 and it remains essentially unknown in any grade above this.
In the past decade, the 1888-O has become far more available to the discovery of at least one or two large hoards. These pieces started coming onto the market in the late 1980's and early 1990's and were mostly graded MS60 to MS62... Today, many of these coins have "gradeflated" into MS63's and 20 examples have been encapsulated as MS63...as of the end of 2005.
STRIKE: The strike is usually sharp with the exception of the stars which are often very flat at the centers.
SURFACES: The surfaces are usually very bagmarked although not as much so as on the 1892-O and the 1893-O eagles. I have seen a number of 1888-O eagles which had unusual parallel lines in the planchet. This appears to be the result of faulty preparation of the blanks.
LUSTER: The luster is above average. It is usually frosty with a slightly grainy texture. There are some semi-prooflike and even fully prooflike pieces known but these tend to be softly struck on the stars and heavily abraded.
COLORATION: The coloration ranges from orange-gold to green-gold. The 1888-O does not generally have the "European" look that dates such as the 1892-O, 1893-O, 1894-O and 1895-O have. This suggests that the hoards of 1888-O eagles were either stored differently than these other dates or are from another source.
EYE APPEAL: This date generally has above average eye appeal. With some time and patience, the collector should be able to find a MS62 to MS63 example with acceptable surfaces, color and luster.
DIE CHARACTERISTICS: There are a number of raised horizontal die lines below Liberty's ear and on the neck. There is often a clashmark on the reverse at the back of the eagle's neck.
MAJOR VARIETIES: There is a single variety known.
Variety One: The date is slightly closer to the neck than to the denticles and it often appears somewhat flatly impressed. The mintmark is close to the feather and it leans very slightly to the left. Some show an obverse die crack which joins many of the stars.

Herbalife Reportedly Is Subject of Law Enforcement Probe: Hot Trends
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Herbalife(HLF) after reports that the supplement-maker is the subject of a law enforcement probe.
The New York Post reported it was in possession of U.S. Federal Trade Commission documents that indicated a law enforcement probe into Herbalife and "pending law enforcement action." Shares of Herbalife dropped up to 16% to $29.35 in premarket trading on Monday.
Herbalife has been accused of running a pyramid scheme, which the company denies. Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has accused the company of providing misleading information and using techniques to hide the pyramid scheme.
Japan Airlines is trending after saying the grounding of its Boeing(BA) 787 Dreamliner would cost the company $7.5 million in earnings through March.
The airline said it would discuss getting compensation for the lost revenue once the issues with the fleet have been resolved.
Boeing's new jet fleet has been grounded indefinitely following a battery fire and other battery-related problems last month.
All Nippon Airways, which also experienced problems with the Dreamliner after one jet was forced to make an emergency landing following a triggered smoke alarm, said it would consider whether to seek compensation after the issues were fixed as well.
Swatch Group is another popular search. The watch-maker reported a 26% rise in 2012 profit and an optimistic outlook on 2013.
Swatch reported net income that rose to 1.6 billion Swiss francs ($1.8 billion), beating analysts' expectations of 1.49 billion francs. The company's watch sales have been driven by strong growth in China and Asian tourists traveling in Europe.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google, Yahoo! and other search sites) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on the Web, and highlights the news that could make stocks move.

So... who's gonna be forced to go watch this atrocity?
JarJar Binks in 3D. I'd rather shave my balls with a hacksaw.
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The only reason I can possibly think an adult would purposely see it is they are being forced by their children.
Lucky for me, my kids don't know it exists.


text: Taylor and Nocella PresentThe Center for Excellence in Urban Teaching's Naomi R. Taylor and Anthony J. Nocella III recently provided a session titled, "Up Against the Wall" for the 2011 Adult Basic Education (ABE) Support Services Conferences at the Minnesota Department of Education. This session was dedicated to critically addressing racism perpetuated within, but not limited to media, schooling, criminal justice, social norms, religion, family structure, and music. Participants left this workshop with a working definition of racism and other terms, while also critically reflecting on their own experiences, and leaving with a commitment to challenge racism in their life.

Agree to that one. I still have hope of a real civil election, but as long as people running these will do anything to stay in power or get elected, and as long as the brain dead people fall for this crap, it will it never be. All I want to hear is "This is what I've done, this is why I'm going to do", the rest is all smoke screens to confuse the confusable.
And the reason both sides can confuse and lie to the public is money pure and simple.
Britain is by no means perfect, and there are plenty of things we could learn from the US political system, but take a look at how little the three main parties spent on the 2010 election: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010 ... n-campaign
Mittens and Barry are spending that a week at the moment? It's disgusting, it really is.
Everything is such a bigger scale in the US very hard to compare. Great Britain can be canvassed in a helo on weekend. Canada is a much larger country than the US but is just about 20% less of everything. Yep, tons of money. Employs lots of people who want to get their guy in so they can maybe get a 4 year gig, then become a lobbyist when it's over and make real money. How many 24 hours news networks, do they really need, how many reporters really need to be covering the White House. Only alternative is to limit everything and who really wants to do that. Nope, ain't going to happen unless some alien race lands on this planet and tells them to or else.
