text: I have been wanting to try fishing the Ohio River near the Evansville/Henderson area. I am only use to fishing/boating the White River so it is quite a bit different. After doing some reading on here from various posts, I think I will go with the suggestion of asking if I can find someone willing to take me out on the Ohio River to allow me to get a feel for the river along with picking up some helpful pointers on reading the river and dealing with barges. I work full-time during the week so I was thinking some weekend. However, I could probably schedule a PTO day to go. I will provide all my own gear, drinks, etc along with chipping in on the gas for the boat. So if you don't mind taking one more or are looking for someone to fish with. I would really appreciate the help.

Arsène Wenger believes the recent spate of high-scoring games is a result of teams playing without fear in the early stages of the season.
The Frenchman doesn't believe the goal-fest is because the art of defending is being forgotten, despite 38 goals being scored in the Premier League over the weekend. Instead he expects to see things calm down once the season gets into full flow.
"It is too early to say [the art of defending has been forgotten]," said Wenger.
"I believe at the start of the season some teams are fitter than others. Also the fear to go down is not completely integrated in their minds.
"That changes after four or five games so let's see if that trend continues.
"I am not completely convinced because many teams play without handbrakes so it explains maybe a bit the high scores, but that will not last."
Wenger - Teams not yet scared of going down

Ripoff Report
Permaculture Institute of North AmericaNationwide USA
Permaculture Institute of North America Permaculture Institute Permaculture Institute North America is a SCAM Nationwide
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
The Permaculture Institute of North America is a scam orchestrated by people who make their money teaching permaculture and are totally scared of competition. They're trying to create a scam standard so that they can decide who can and who cannot teach permaculture, and what should be taught. Their goal is to limit the number of teachers who are able to spread this knowledge, and thus keep high the overall cost of the courses.
The founder of Permaculture, Bill Mollison has been very clear in saying that we need to get this wisdom out to as many people as possible. He has also been very clear in saying that anyone can teach permaculture design classes once they have completed a class, without any crazy "teacher trainings" or any other requirements.
Here is a video by Bill Mollison debunking this ridiculous scam: youtube.com/watch?v=7r5hYa_rEp0
"A lot of teachers, at least more true of Americans anyway, don't want anyone else to be a teacher.....right. They think, they're a teacher, your an inferior object so they'll do anything they can to discourage you from teaching courses. It's cause they see you as competition which we don't see you as, we see you as a little bit of assistance. (laughter)".
Just say NO to the Permaculture Institute of North America SCAM, because permaculture shouldn't be available only to those who can afford to pay thousands of dollars. No one should own or control this information, and certainly not a few people who profit by teaching. This is a SCAM - buyer beware.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
This is an all-volunteer organization, dependent on donations and fund raising activities for its survival. It is only as strong as its supporters and active members.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Look at the sun. The sun is shining. Nobody polishes the sun. The sun just shines. Look at the moon, the sky, the world at its best. Unfortunately, we human beings try to fit everything into conditionality. We try to make something out of nothing. We have messed everything up. That's our problem. We have to go back to the sun and the moon, to dragons, tigers, lions, garudas (mythical birds). We can be like the blue sky, sweethearts, and the clouds so clean, so beautiful. We don't have to try too hard to find ourselves. We haven't really lost anything; we just have to tune in. The majesty of the world is always there.

Kept close to the early leaders by jockey Eibar Coa throughout the 1 1/8-mile race for 3-year-olds, the son of Sky Mesa took command in midstretch and defeated Hold Me Back, the 2-1 favorite, by 1 ½ lengths. Massone finished another 1 ¼ lengths back in third.
McCarthy, who has raced horses on a small scale for many years, claimed General Quarters for $20,000 on May 30 last year at Churchill Downs in the colt's first career start. Saturday's win increased General Quarters' career earnings to $641,735.
General Quarters first signaled his promise with a 3 ½-length victory in the Sam F. Davis Stakes (G3) in February at Tampa Bay Downs. He soon was forgotten when he finished fifth in his next start, the Tampa Bay Derby (G3).
Returned to his home base in Louisville, McCarthy readied him for the Toyota Blue Grass. "He trained like a champion all week, and after that breeze last week (:58.20 for five furlongs) I knew I had him right where I wanted him," said McCarthy. "I think he exhibited the tenacity to go on to the (Kentucky) Derby.
It was the first time the Coa had ridden General Quarters. "I saw his race, the prep for the (Grade 3) Tampa Bay Derby (the Sam F. Davis), and I loved the way he ran," said Coa. "I also saw the Tampa Bay Derby, where he got in a lot of traffic.
"Mr. McCarthy told me just to run his race (and said), 'Without traffic, I know he is going to show up today.'"
General Quarters paid $30.60.
Terrain finished fourth followed, in order, by Join in the Dance, Loch Dubh, Charitable Man, Mafaaz (GB), Theregoesjojo, Patena and Cliffy's Future.
The Toyota Blue Grass was the fourth of four graded races, run under sunny skies before 27,788 people.
Last year's champion turf female, Forever Together, returned to competition in stylish fashion by winning the $200,000, Grade 2 Jenny Wiley Stakes, one of Saturday's supporting features.
Making her first start since winning the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1) in October, the 5-year-old daughter of Belong to Me and jockey Julien Leparoux unleashed a furious rally on the turn to win by a length.
The time for the 1 1/16 miles on the "good" turf was 1:46.93.
Rutherienne finished second in the field of seven fillies and mares, a neck in front of Kiss With a Twist. It was another three-quarters of a length back to fourth-place Rustic Flame (IRE).
Forever Together won her third race in a row and her eighth race in 15 career starts. She increased her career earnings to $2,128,533 with the winner's purse of $124,000. She is owned by George Strawbridge Jr.'s Augustin Stable and trained by Jonathan Sheppard.
The winner paid $4 as the even-money favorite.
Eternal Star forged to the lead in midstretch under Coa and posted a three-quarter length victory in the $250,000 Grade 2 Commonwealth Stakes at seven furlongs on Polytrack.
Kept within striking distance early, the 5-year-old son of Five Star Day passed pacesetters My Pal Charlie and Ravalo and then held off Rebellion (GB) for his 10th win in 21 career starts.
Three-quarters of a length separated Eternal Star and second-place Rebellion at the finish of the race, timed in 1:21.17. It was a half-length back to third-place My Pal Charlie in the field of eight 4-year-olds and upward.
Eternal Star, owned by Harry C. and Tom Meyerhoff and trained by Michael Trombetta, earned $108,500.
"As I told the rider, this was his first time riding him and this is the first (for Eternal Star to race on) synthetic. This horse is very versatile," said Trombetta, who recorded his first Keeneland stakes win. "He'll run on the lead; he'll run from next to last. He does his thing."
The winner paid $13.20.
Heros Reward, making his first start in more than five months, stuck his head in front a few strides from the finish to win the $100,000, Grade 3 Shakertown Stakes in a three-horse photo.
The 7-year-old son of Partner's Hero closed on the outside under Javier Castellano to edge Cannonball by a head. It was a head back to third-place Chamberlain Bridge in the field of 11 4-year-olds and upward.
Mr. Nightlinger, seeking a second consecutive victory in the 5 ½-furlong turf sprint, finished fifth.
Heros Reward is owned by Rob Ry Farm and Jayne M. Slysz and is trained by Dale Capuano, who was winning his first stakes race at Keeneland. The winner paid $12.60 and increased his career earnings to $973,216.
"I spoke to Mr. Capuano," said Castellano. "He told me to watch the speed in the race today and a lot of speed on the rail. I waited until we were turning for home, and he responded very well."
The time was 1:04.24 on the "yielding" turf course.

I took my course at the Sig-Sauer academy in Exeter, NH so it was one of their Sigs. The 250 I think, they were marketing that gun heavily at the time.
My carry gun now is a Walther PPQ.
My DD214 was enough to get me a permit here in Florida. I did sign up for a defensive pistol class the day after my permit arrived and used my G19 which I still have.
Glock 17. Traded it shortly after. I carry J frames pretty much exclusively.
Like Luis50, I used my DD214, and I have also taken the following:
NRA Home safety course
NRA Basic Personal Protection In The Home Course
NRA Basics of Personal Protection Outside The Home Course
NRA Refuse To Be A Victim® Seminars(2)
A Beretta 92G/SD...kind of a heavy sucker...eventually traded it off.
G19, borrowed it from a friend, and no. Have been using a Kimber Pro Raptor but changed to a G17 and getting ready to change again to a G19.
I had just bought it a few weeks before the course and decided to use it.
Used to use a Ruger P95D for LEOSA quals in WV. Their course of fire was best run with 4 magazines. Although I carried it a while I generally went back to a GI 45. Used a Bersa ThunderPro .40 S&W for the NC CCW class & use it for my EDC these days. I like the way it points and that it is DA/SA.
I took the course almost four years ago and most will remember ammo was really scarce at that time.
The course I chose offered free use of their guns and ammo so I ended up with an S&W wheel gun. Don't
remember the mod # but it was sweet. Scored 100 on the range test, shouldn't get a swelled head cause
all it meant was I kept 50 rounds in the man sized target. Oh, .38 Sp with a four inch barrel very similar to
my DW .357.
No rimfires allowed although several showed up but they couldn't use them.

SURFACE: Grass
TV: CBS (Gus Johnson, Steve Tasker)
SERIES: 26th meeting. Dolphins lead series, 13-12, and the Dolphins have won six straight. The Chargers haven't won a game in South Florida in more than 27 years -- the epic overtime game that is considered among the greatest games in NFL history. Their last win in the series came in the 1994 Divisional Playoffs, the Chargers' lone Super Bowl season.
PREDICTION: Chargers 23-16
RB LaDainian Tomlinson
Andy Lyons/Getty
Dolphins: The Dolphins' offense can't line up man for man with the Chargers and expect to move the ball consistently, so expect more experimenting with looks like the 'Wildcat' formation Miami used to upset New England two weeks ago - especially with a bye week to game plan. RBs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are the backbone of the Dolphins' attack, but the Chargers' run defense has slowly been improving along with the health of DT Jamal Williams' knees.
Chargers: OLB Jyles Tucker (hamstring) looks unlikely and would be replaced by Marques Harris; TE Antonio Gates (hip) and Williams (knee) have been limited in practice but will play.
Dolphins: None.
FAST FACTS: The Chargers will fly 15,771 miles the next four weeks, including games in Miami, Buffalo and London. ... Chargers WR Chris Chambers is the Dolphins' fourth-leading all-time receiver in yards (5,688) and TD catches (43).
--RG Mike Goff (knee) worked the entire practice and is a go for Sunday.
--TE Antonio Gates (hip) was able to get through another practice. He's set for Sunday.
FB Mike Tolbert
Donald Miralle/Getty
--DT Jamal Williams (knees) was limited Thursday. But he's expected to go on Sunday.
--OLB Jyles Tucker (hamstring) didn't work again. If he can't go, Marques Harris gets the start.
--WR Ted Ginn Jr. doesn't seem as if he will be returning kicks any time soon but he may be involved in the 'Wildcat' formation as a passer. Ginn was a high school quarterback and threw a touchdown at Ohio State.
"You've got to be talented," offensive coordinator Dan Henning said, referring to trying trick plays. "Ricky (Williams) is talented in other ways and Pat Cobbs is talented in other ways. We have some talent in the wide receiver position in other ways. We've got to utilize it all because there's a turnaround taking place here. There's a big turnover in personnel."
--OLB Joey Porter was credited with a fourth sack in the victory over the Patriots, 11 days after the game. On third-and-three, at the 14:20 mark of the fourth quarter, Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel originally was credited with a one-yard run before Porter stripped the ball. It was determined by Elias Sports Bureau that Porter forced the ball loose before Cassel reached the line of scrimmage, giving Porter a sack for no yards. The four sacks are tied for the fourth-highest single-game figure in Dolphins history and are the most since E.J. Junior also recorded four on Oct. 6, 1991 at New England. It also ties a career high that he first achieved on Oct. 21, 2001 at Tampa Bay.
--QB Chad Henne was given the bulk of the snaps during the bye week to help speed up his development. It has nothing to do with any quarterback controversy, which was quieted after Chad Pennington had a sharp outing against the Patriots, hitting 17 of 20 passes with no picks.
--FS Renaldo Hill played for Chargers coach Norv Turner when he was head coach of the Raiders in 2005, and he said that owner Al Davis was always on the practice field asking questions about how they could get better. Hill will probably need to help CBs Will Allen and Andre' Goodman on former Dolphins WR Chris Chambers, who will be playing his first game against Miami since they traded him last February.
--CB Will Allen and WR Derek Hagan got into a tussle during practice. After Hagan pushed off the trash-talking Allen, he then caught a touchdown in the end zone. He spiked the ball and then the two started jawing. Hagan pushed Allen and Allen's momentum knocked an official down. The two would later high-five and Tony Sparano said he welcomed the spirited competition.
The Chargers could be starting a third-string outside linebacker on Sunday. And they're OK with that.
Thursday's practice, in preparation for this weekend's date with Miami, again didn't include outside linebacker Jyles Tucker.
LB Marques Harris
Doug Pensinger/Getty
Harris started training camp No. 3 on the depth chart at the outside spot. Pro Bowler Shawne Merriman was at the top, followed by Tucker.
But Merriman's season lasted one game before he left with a knee injury. The team was prepared with Tucker at the ready, but he tweaked a hamstring in Sunday's win over the Raiders.
Tucker hasn't tested the hamstring yet and it's looking more likely that he could skip the Dolphins game.
So this is Harris' chance, or yet another one in which he usually shines in these spots.
The former undrafted rookie from Southern Utah State already has eight tackles and a sack this year. The sack was a big one in Oakland, as it also forced a fumble from Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell -- Harris recovered it too.
Harris, in his fourth year, entered the season with 5.5 career sacks in spot play --- his first step can cause edge blockers problems.
In 2006, Harris had a career-high 33 tackles, with three sacks and two fumble recoveries.
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano is hoping to begin building a home-field tradition -- starting on Sunday.
The Dolphins have lost 10 of their last 12 at Dolphin Stadium, and this week are having trouble selling out. The NFL granted the Dolphins a one-day extension to avoid their first regular-season blackout since the 1998 season in a game with the Rams.
HC Tony Sparano
Wilfredo Lee/AP
"When you're out on the road in this league, it's very hard to win," Sparano said. "When you're home, that should be an advantage for you. We're looking forward to playing at home this week, getting in front of our own people here, our own fans and being able to go out and so some of those things.
"There's an attitude that you establish playing in your own building, or that you need to establish playing in your own building. We haven't done that yet. We didn't win at home yet. We need to make sure that we take care of home base and I think there has to be a sense of pride and an attitude that when you look at your schedule and you get these eight home games that come out, you feel real good about winning a handful of these games because you're playing in your park and that's the advantage," Sparano said.
Sparano said he told his team Thursday morning that complacency is unacceptable.
"I see a team that has a little bit more of a swagger right now out there. I think that they practiced really hard. Their attention to detail has been outstanding but when we get to the game this week, we'll see. It was only one game. We won one game. As I said to the team today, if any of you guys tell me that we came here and the mission was to win one game at the start of the season then I'm going to throw you out. It's not what we came here to do," Sparano said.
Sparano was then jokingly asked if any player stood up and admitted that.
"If they did, you'd have seen a hole out there today," Sparano said.

Coco Montoya
Born in Santa Monica, Montoya played drums for a local rock band that toured the region during the mid-'70s, playing in area clubs. Although he had recently been turned on to blues at an Albert King show, he was somewhat unprepared to sit in with another blues legend -- "the Iceman" Albert Collins -- when a bar-owner friend of Montoya invited the bluesman to play at his nightclub. Though his inexperience showed, the young drummer impressed Collins enough to hire him for a Pacific Northwest tour three months later. The tour soon ended, but the pair's affiliation remained for more than five years, while Montoya learned much about the handling of blues guitar from "the Master of the Telecaster."
By the early '80s, Coco Montoya was back in the small-time nightclub business, playing guitar with several regional bands. At one night's show, he realized that John Mayall was in the audience, so he dedicated a cover of "All Your Love" to the British blues maestro. The song prompted Mayall to hire Montoya as lead guitarist for a new version of the Bluesbreakers he had formed. Despite the enormous pressure of filling a spot once held by Eric Clapton and Peter Green, Montoya jumped at the opportunity.
His first album with the Bluesbreakers came in 1985. Mayall had not released an album in five years at that point and the Bluesbreakers had been dead for more than 15, but the live album Behind the Iron Curtain proved Mayall's viability thanks mostly to the fiery work of Montoya. The guitarist appeared on three studio albums with Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, but then struck out on his own by the mid-'90s. Signed to Blind Pig, Montoya released Gotta Mind to Travel in 1995 with help from Mayall and another former Bluesbreaker compatriot, rhythm guitarist Debbie Davies.
After years of toil under Collins and Mayall, Montoya was finally in the spotlight and his award as Best New Blues Artist of 1996 proved quite ironic, given his years of experience. His second album, Ya Think I'd Know Better, was followed by 1997's Just Let Go. At that point, Montoya and Blind Pig parted company and he signed with Alligator Records. Suspicion was released in 2000, followed two years later by Can't Look Back and by Dirty Deal in 2007. All three discs incorporated a definitive soul/R&B approach. I Want It All Back, produced by Keb' Mo' and Jeff Paris, appeared in 2010. The independent blues label Ruf Records released I Want It All Back, and they followed up with a live album, Songs from the Road, in 2014. Montoya and Alligator Records partnered again to release 2017's Hard Truth. ~ John Bush & Al Campbell

Dorval Bob in Hiding from his Past
Posted in the Education Forum
#1 Oct 14, 2012
Pedo Bob, the pudgy middle-aged Boy Lover-Rapist of Dorval and Montreal has undertaken a new and more aggressive approach to his defense against charges of having raped a number of young boys aged 11-13 years. This includes the creation of new pedophile fantasies which he posts under other names, including this one, in an effort to project onto this writer and others his own depraved crimes, obsessions and lifestyle. Don't be fooled. The boy lover doth protest too much, methinks. And the sordid sexual fantasies involving pubescent boys that Bob continues to post, regardless of the name under which he posts them (just notice their origin in "Dorval, Canada" or "Montreal), should say enough about the "gentleman's" past and his disposition toward children.
#3 Oct 16, 2012
Where oh where has Bob the Pederast of Dorval gone?
#4 Oct 18, 2012
Pedo Bob is now using for cover the childish commentary of the English Queen of Manchester, whose own participation on these threads has expressed unmitigated emnity for the Boy Lover of Dorval. To hide behind the deranged character of another sexual pervert who nonetheless cannot abide Bob's posts involving sexual fantasies with young boys is truly an act of desperation. Our charges against Pedo Bob clearly have hit their target. The Pudgy Predator of Dorval is in a panic. He knows that as a child rapist he himself shall be beaten brutally and raped in prison as part of his daily routine.
#5 Oct 18, 2012
It's all there for your inspection on the "Bob" thread about forcing schoolboys to strip off for their swim lessons... a topic to which this boy molester is hopelessly drawn again and again and again and again.

"Pedo Bob is now using for cover the childish commentary of the English Queen of Manchester, whose own participation on these threads has expressed unmitigated emnity for the Boy Lover of Dorval"
Could MaltaMoron be referring to me?
How desperate for attention he is, how lacking in a life he must be to feel the need to post on several forums/topics at once.
Look in the mirror.
#7 Oct 19, 2012
Looks like someone can't get me out of his mind or his daily routine of "cruising" the Boy Lover threads. What makes him so certain that my reference us to HIM? I haven't mentioned him. Pity. He needs to get a life.
#8 Oct 19, 2012
Phil, if you think that I mean YOU when I describe Pedo Bob's soul mate in manifestly unflattering terms, I have to assume, inasmuch as I haven't mentioned you, that it must be a matter of self-perception on your part. What a pity tgat this is how you see yourself. Are you planning to continue to follow me around these threads?
#9 Oct 19, 2012
Bob, your threshold for brilliance is quite easily accessible. Indeed, by that standard it is clear that anyone who lives merely to suck on long, fat English cigarettes (Dunhills? 555's? JPS?) qualifies as "Brilliant".
#10 Oct 19, 2012
For the record, we LOVE the nickname "MaltaMoron" and are flattered that it appears to have gained currency with some of Pedo Bob's more devoted boy-lover fans.
(Sorry, Buddy. Had to step in here and contribute. It was too tempting to miss)
#11 Oct 19, 2012
Hi again, Bobbie. That was my colleague... anyway, I urge you to get hold of your new crush (or, rather, she has a crush on you). Find her "brilliant answers" following my own posts. She's stalking me to get to you. And she seems to loathe me almost as much as you, which I welcome. Nothing could be more fun while we await your day of reckoning, Sweetheart. Looking forward to your castration, whether it be chemically induced or forced upon you by your fellow prisoners.

Dorval Bob, the Boy Lover of the Island of Montreal in Canada is at it again: he's posting as MaltaMon, hiding behind the identity of another to distribute his boy-lover fantasy filth. If you see a post under the name of MaltaMon that originates from anywhere outside the United States (especially from Montreal or Dorval, a suburb of Montreal where the city's Trudeau Airport is located), you'll know that it's Pedo Bob.

When cable systems pick up a new channel, theres not always a launch event, and especially not one that involves real cowboys, a barbecue buffet and a parking lot full of tractors. But all those elements fit well with RFD-TV, which celebrated its launch on Fort Worths Charter Cable with a bit of a party Thursday at the Exchange Building in the Stockyards.
We got our start here, Patrick Gottsch, founder and president of Rural Media Group, said from a stage in front of the Exchange Building. The launch of RFD-TV began, really, in a little office right behind me here, with my daughters, 20 years ago, running around and playing on the lawn.
The network, which began in December 2000, has grown into Rural Media Group, which also encompasses cable channel FamilyNet as well as other cable holdings, a magazine and a Branson, Mo., theater. Gottschs daughter Raquel is now the executive vice president of marketing, and his daughter Gatsby is now executive vice president of finance.
The networks shows focus on rural, equestrian and agricultural lifestyles, with several music shows in the lineup, ranging from such country-music classics as Hee Haw and The Porter Wagoner Show to modern country shows and even non-country shows, such as Live From Daryls House, in which Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates jams with a different musical guest in each episode.
RFD-TVs Charter launch is a bigenough deal that the Fort Worths City Council declared Thursday RFD-TV Day. More than 20 of the networks shows originate in or near Fort Worth. Shows include Red Steagall in the Bunkhouse, a cowboy music/talk show hosted by poet Steagall (who opened Thursdays remarks with a recital of Born to This Land, a moving poem about a multigenerational farm family); Equestrian Nation, hosted by rodeo legend Larry Mahan; and The American Rancher, hosted by Pam Minick, the former Miss Rodeo America who is also the marketing director for Billy Bobs Texas.
RFD-TV will air on Charter Channel 253 and in high definition on Charter Channel 803. Brian Anderson, Charters southwest region communication director, said that additions are part of Charters move to an all-digital format. Anderson said that this is the largest HD launch in Charters history, bringing more than 80 channels when complete. The expansion will be on Charter throughout more than 40 North Texas communities.
In North Texas, RFD-TV is also available on DirecTV (Channel 345), Dish (Channel 230) and Verizon FiOS (Channel 247).

2011 Lexus IS 4dr Sdn Auto AWD for $0
View 19 more Lexus IS listings.
I have never got on with the Lexus RX.
For one thing, its styling seemed "gorpy" to me, its front-end design reminding me of the chinless wonders that were supposed to be the heroes of The Revenge of The Nerds. The interior styling was equally humdrum. Ditto its performance.
Indeed, the entire raison d'etre for the RX seemed to be to not offend anyone. And while that middle-of-the-road motif resulted in the mid-sized luxury ute being wildly popular on the sales floor, it also led to the decay of the Lexus brand -- no one quite sure what, if anything, Lexus was striving to stand for.
Three years into its latest redesign, the RX is getting new makeup and, in at least one case, the makeover is actually a little tarty. Make no mistake: Lexus IS not about to start sponsoring Les Folies Bergère, but there is, believe it or not, a soupßon of sexiness to the '13 RX.
At least if you order the F Sport version of the RX 350. Then you'll get all manner of GS 350-inspired aggressive additions, including the angular trapezoidal grille that we first saw on the LF-FC concept car. There's also some big 19-inch wheels (their gunmetal coating matching my tester's slate grey exterior) with P235/55R/19 tires.
Inside, there's an all-new monochromatic black leather decor that is simply stunning, with better-quality hides than I've seen on any Lexus this side of an LS. The interior's subdued luxury is further highlighted by a few modest aluminum bits and some tastefully subtle wood trim -- all in all, it looks vaguely Germanic in its more subtle take on hedonism.
What really sets the new RX apart, however, is its centre console. For years now, the Germans have been telling us we need computerized infotainment systems so that they can imbue their vehicles with the latest electronic trickery without overwhelming we mere mortals with spaceship-level buttonry. Then they go ahead and festoon their interiors with more buttons, switches and widgets than a space shuttle.
Lexus may have actually delivered on that promise of reduced complication, at least if the F Sport I drove is any indication. Indeed, other than the air conditioner controls and some minimalistic radio switchgear (leaving the most important knob, the tuning function, analogue), the centre console is mercifully devoid of extra buttons -- the cleanest, by far, of any recent luxury vehicle I can remember.
And, wonder of wonders, the onboard computer controller -- Remote Touch Interface, in Lexus parlance -- is not a pain-in-the-you-know-what to operate. Possibly because the mouse's operation is more traditional, maybe because the submenus are better designed, but almost assuredly because Lexus engineers resisted the temptation to burden its system with every possible function the overly fertile minds of typical computer nerds could imagine, the RTI is easy for simple folk to operate.
There are seven possible selections to be made -- navigation, information, vehicle setup, radio, audio system, climate control and phone control -- and all are, again, blessedly devoid of endless submenus.
I didn't get lost and, shades of Apple computers, I didn't once have to resort to the owner's manual to find what I was looking for. Congrats, Lexus.
In the motivational department, the powertrain remains typical Lexus -- that is to say, the RX is powered by Toyota's ubiquitous 3.5-litre V6, in this guise claiming a 270-horsepower peak output. Though it's smoother than ever in this incarnation, it remains the RX's weak link, a little buzzy when the revs get going and just a step behind the best powerplants in the segment.
Thankfully, it doesn't often need high revs. With a generous amount of torque -- 248 pound-feet -- and a slick-shifting eight-speed transmission that keeps the engine in the meat of its powerband, the F Sport doesn't often have to be spun to its 6,400-rpm redline. It's a marked improvement over the previous-generation V6, but both the RX F Sport and the new GS 350 deserve more willing powerplants.
The Lexus handling upgrades are more successful. There's a trick new flexible suspension mounting system that Lexus claims allows the F Sport to use a firmer suspension without cramping up the ride. For the most part, it works, this sportiest of RXs exhibiting less body roll without noticeable degradation in ride quality. Throw in weightier steering and the F Sport, if not nearly Porsche Cayenne material, is still sportier than much of its competition.
The all-wheel-drive system, as in previous Lexuses, defaults to front-wheel-drive power transfer, though it can send 50 per cent of the engine's torque rearward if wheel slippage is detected by the traction control system.
Lexus IS trying to accomplish what some in marketing say is impossible -- appealing to everyone at least part of the time. Rather than focus on just being sporty ( la BMW), versatile (Audi) or conventional (Lexus for the last decade or so), it's striving to capture all three. The company will continue mainstreaming along with the comparatively somnolent ES 350 and LS luxury barges while offering decidedly sportier items such as the new GS and the upcoming IS.
It will be a tough job to capture these markets and everything in between. But as the versatility of the RX platform -- the basic 350, the frugal RX 450h hybrid and now this decidedly more aggressive F Sport (retailing for $57,900, by the way) -- shows, Lexus IS expanding its product portfolio to seek a wider audience.

Steamboat Springs City staffers say a $500,000 software overhaul implemented during the next several months will result in greater efficiencies for internal finances and greater transparency and other benefits for the public.
Steamboat Springs Interim Finance Director Deb Hinsvark said last week that the overhaul is orchestrated through Caselle, a Utah-based provider of government accounting software. The situation is comparable to a general contractor who's building a house and uses subcontractors for tasks such as plumbing and wiring — Caselle, the general contractor, will use several other software programs for specific functions such as financial services and online record-keeping. Hinsvark said the overhaul would affect every city department.
"We're calling it our software conversion project," city revenue supervisor Kim Weber said.
The project's half-million-dollar cost is budgeted in the city's capital improvement fund.
The conversion is intended to provide several benefits for Steamboat residents. First, Weber said, will be the ability to pay water and wastewater bills and view statements online through the city's website, http://steamboatsprings.net. That service should be available in October. By the end of the year, Weber said, the city should be able to accept sales tax payments online.
Those services will be implemented along with electronic filing programs for city departments. Weber and Hinsvark said that most of the city's financial activities, such as check requests and invoices for purchases, are processed and stored with physical documents. New financial software from SIRE Technologies, also based in Utah, will allow scanned documents to be transferred and stored online. Hinsvark said that change would expedite and improve the city's accounting practices across the board.
The city has hired information systems analyst Mark Billerbeck, formerly of Cisco Systems in Denver, to help integrate SIRE. Billerbeck said the new software would give city employees easier, increased access to financial documents.
"I just think it's going to give employees the visibility to really understand their budget," Billerbeck said. "Anybody from your director down to your front-line employee will be able to go in and check both their department and their own budgets, if they're operating a project, for example."
Some of that access will extend to the public.
"One of the big initiatives on this is to be as transparent as possible," Billerbeck said.
Weber said what information will be made available to the public, and in what format, is not finalized. She said that's largely because of the significant amount of information involved and determining what's helpful and what's not.
"We have to consider the usability of it," she said.
But the public will have online access to detailed department expenditures, she said.
"Our goal is to get as much useful information out through our website as possible," Weber said.
The public also will have increased accessibility to Steamboat Springs City Council meetings. Weber said the city clerk's office would use the new software to provide live online audio of City Council meetings. After the meetings, people will be able to replay audio content according to specific agenda items, she said.
Weber added that the overall software conversion would "be great for record retention" for all departments. She said the city currently rents storage space for physical documents. Hinsvark said ideally, physical storage would be phased out as documents, old and new, are transferred to the electronic filing system.
"Our goal would be, if we can get to it, to scan all the old files," Hinsvark said. "We won't be keeping the paper going forward."

Top coach gets all 11 kids into the game
The nomination here for Oregon Coach of the Year in 2002 isn't Ernie Kent or Clive Charles or Steve Coury, bless their souls.
My candidate was robbed of much of his strength and balance by a stroke nearly six years ago, yet it has taken none of his spirit or enthusiasm.
Even at 64, he connects with his seventh-graders on the basketball court, conveying wisdom and compassion as he helps prospects turn into players.
For 30 years, Fritz Page has been a fixture in the athletic arena, teaching youngsters the importance of both sportsmanship and competitiveness. The John L. Scott real estate agent is long past having children of Little League age, but he has continued his commitment to being involved because he knows he makes a difference.
'I just enjoy being around the kids, seeing them improve,' Page says. 'It's like being a teacher. You watch the kids grow, get better.'
For the past few years, Page has served as coach for the seventh- or eighth-grade select teams in the Westview High area of Beaverton. He has earned the respect of Westview coach Pat Coons, who oversees the youth programs that feed into his high school.
'Fritz is just great,' Coons says. 'He absolutely loves kids. He cares about them. He wouldn't be afraid to tell you he's not the top X's and O's guy, but you don't need John Wooden to handle kids. He's very organized, and a great communicator with parents and kids. And even at his age, he's very much a student of the game.'
Page's teams win the majority of their games. That's important Ñ or at least that his players try hard to win. But it's not the ultimate goal at his teams' age group and level of competition. On Page's fall seventh-grade team, all 11 players saw significant minutes each game.
'If people criticize Fritz, it's because he plays too many kids and doesn't go with the star system,' Coons says. 'I love that about him. He wants to give kids experience and help them get better, not just win trophies and tournaments. That is really special because there are not many people like that in sports. He's able to swallow his own pride and little ego and say, 'I'm going to do what's best for the kids.' '
Page corrects his players' mistakes Ñ but not in a manner that embarrasses them. He never gets upset. He's always under control, and in control. His players are in good hands. They know it, and he knows it.
A couple of years ago, he approached me at the end of a Little League season in which I coached his grandson.
'You did a nice job with those kids this year,' he told me.
Back at ya, Fritz. And then some. You are making a difference, and kids Ñ and parents Ñ are all the better because of it.

As I pour my can of Guinness Draught into a tulip shaped glass I watch that authentic surging and cascading of "tiny bubbles" in the glass and wait patiently for my first sip, the same way I have to wait when a bartender pulls a Guinness from the tap. The unique can utilizes a built in 'widget' which provides the right mix of nitrogen and carbon dioxide and helps create the perfect creamy head.
Sure enough, if I close my eyes as I take a sip, I feel like I'm at my favorite pub in Ireland…all that's missing is the rain and misty weather…oh wait, we have that here also!
This is a dry stout as it is meant to be; bold and toasty flavors from the roasted barley are balanced beautifully with slight hop bitterness and rich creaminess. My Irish hanai brother recently informed me that the barley used to brew Guinness is grown and roasted in Ireland exclusively for the Guinness brewery. This very special roasted malted barley provides lovely coffee, chocolate and caramel undertones which are balanced perfectly with the creamy head and surprising light body and clean, dry finish on the palate.
One of the most traditional food pairings for Guinness Draught is fresh oysters on the half shell, the bold deep roasted notes and crisp finish of the beer complements the salty dry brine of the oysters. If you are a traditionalist, you can never go wrong with a nice plate of Corned Beef and Cabbage [2] and a pint of Guinness…see Chef Keoni's [3] awesome recipe here [4]. Don't forget that we're currently featuring Corned Beef Brisket and local head cabbage on sale through St. Patrick's Day, so be sure to check out our Special Maika`i Offer [5] and our Weekly Ad [6]!
While many people will tell you a Guinness is like a meal in a glass you may be very surprised to learn that the calorie count is lower than an equal serving of orange juice or non-fat milk…this is a beer you can feel good about celebrating with!
When I think of Guinness, I think tradition, heritage and longevity… over 250 years ago a young man with a dream negotiated a 9000 year lease on an abandoned brewery called St. James Gate in Ireland. Arthur Guinness was only 34 when he paid an initial £100 ($158 US) with an annual rent of £45 ($71) for his brewery. The Guinness you drink here in Hawaii is the same Guinness enjoyed all over the world, still brewed at that very famous brewery in Dublin where back in the day in addition to your weekly wages you were allowed a pint a day as an employee benefit…ah, the old days!
All 31 Foodland and Sack N Save locations will be featuring Guinness on sale this week through St. Patricks' Day, so be sure to pick up some cold ones at Foodland and be safe this weekend!

The Canadian speed skating community was abuzz Tuesday with the news Jeremy Wotherspoon, one of the sport's greatest long-track sprinters, is planning a comeback for the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
Wotherspoon, now 36, retired after the 2009-10 World Cup season and had been coaching with the KIA Speed Skating Academy in Inzell, Germany. Although he was unavailable for comment, he confirmed his return to active skating on a video posted on NOS, a Dutch news outlet.
"You can call it a comeback. It's my comeback," he said. "I'm not going to pretend that I only skate for the love of skating. Of course I love skating, but I also love to win. And there's one thing I've never won and I've always wanted that feeling of winning the Olympics.
"This is my last chance to find that feeling."
Several athletes were quick to Tweet their reaction to Wootherspoon putting on the clap skates and potentially adding to his illustrious résumé.
"Jeremy Wotherspoon is making a comeback for the 2014 Sochi Olympics! Yeahhhh!" wrote Olympic medalist Denny Morrison. "Jan Bos [former world sprint champion] is going to coach Jeremy to Sochi gold."
"The return of the King!!! And I ain't talkin about Elvis, baby," added Canadian speed skater Anastasia Bucsis.
During his 15 years on the Canadian national team, Wotherspoon recorded an incredible 67 World Cup wins, the bulk of them coming in the 500- and 1,500-metre events. Most everything he won, from world sprint titles to World Cup overall championships, were done in multiple fashion with Wotherspoon also holding world-record times.
The Olympics, though, were another story. In 1998 in Nagano, he won a silver medal in the 500 metres. After that, it's been largely disappointing for Wotherspoon. He fell in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics in his best event, the 500, and was 13th in the 1,000. At the 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics, the best he could do was a pair of ninth-place finishes.
"Right after the [2010 Vancouver Olympics] I would have to say I stopped skating because it was my plan to stop skating, but I thought, okay, I'm glad to be done," he told NOS. "Then after a couple of years, I started thinking about it and I was like, 'Nope, I'm not going to do it' … Anything's possible. I accept the risk that it could go badly."Report Typo/Error

Zoeyis... I wish I could have done that! In Basic, our Platoon got up at 3am just to make sure we got everything done because not only did we have to get ourselves ready, we had other duties plus PT after that. Our showers weret aken at night before bed. In AIT, I had to be at 'school' at like 7 am and we marched 5 miles to get there, so we left an hour before that. We couldn't even take a shower in the middle of the night because we had 'bed check' and had to be in bed from the hours of 10 pm to 5 am. We had no choice but to shower with other people which was uncomfortable at first, but then you got used to it and it wasn't that bad.

As I was gradually making my way back home after a couple of wonderful days caching in Marinette county and beyond, I stopped here to catch the view, read the local history about the county forests and...look for a cache. The hint was intriguing, but once I got within a couple hundred feet, I knew exactly where I was headed. Cool spot that raises questions.

Leftist Corporate
It would be funny if it were not an irony to see people who make their living off comfortable jobs hold leftist views. How does one explain that many of our corporate warriors who earn capitalist salaries hold leftist views? This also includes trusts and NGOs which are floated with capitalist earnings yet whose owners evangelize a leftist vision.
Do I hear you say, what is wrong with that? Practically everything.
Any corporate job is based on a simple premise. Merit. There is nothing other than merit that gets you there. In a way it reflects the market they serve in. The products and services they sell are not sold or bought for any other reason than the fact that they serve their target market in terms of price or service.
Yes, you will be tempted to jump in saying that companies and product markets are hotbeds of caste and religion and discrimination. Find out how many purchased their last car or washing power or mobile phone or software based on caste or religion. Also find out how many people are retained in companies only due their last names. Quite a few, you may say. Unfortunately, any company that prefers this mode will find itself out distanced by the competitor who follows merit because the marketplace is unforgiving.
Case in point, government enterprises, where political patronage triumphs merit are inevitably behind their private peers. Sure, some exceptions remain but they are mostly in monopolistic areas.
In a nutshell, this is what drives capitalism. Capitalism is all about people and markets. Socialism (and leftism) on the other hand is an enforced order where the government (an all-knowing god) decides what the minions deserve and proceed to serve this fare to them over 5 year plans that inevitably fail.
In an utopia, this will work, but in any society it wont. Because the natural scheme of any society is progress and evolution. Even in religions where equality is claimed, discrimination is rampant. You might as well be open about it and let people progress. And even in socialist countries, there is a vast difference in the quality of life of leaders, important cats paws and the common folks. Ask yourself who is working on making life better? And who should? People or planners? Or both?
And this where it all falls in place. When you lead a life of capitalism - which is all about you having a job or running your own business in a market - it is fairly impossible for you to substantiate leftism - while you quaff mineral water and eat at fancy (or ordinary) restaurants. When you head a trust that makes its money off corporate donations - please do not go out and diss the corporates for the work they do especially at capitalistic cocktail parties and capitalist conferences (airfare paid by capitalists, please note).
Look closely and you will find that the corporate organization is far better organized and set up than your average political party or NGO or trust. The corporates shun nepotism unlike your dynastic political parties. Also, note that the corporate is structured as an 'going concern' whereas the others usually decline or die once their leaders decline.
So, if you are still a leftist, please give up your corporate job, shun corporate and business donations and wear unbranded clothes, go to government hospitals and eat dal chawal (bought from PDS stores, preferably). Beyond that your argument is about as valid as a certain activist who lives in a house built on encroached land while arguing for tribal rights!

What are the laws in Idaho for noodling for catfish
It looks like fun on television - but in Idaho it's illegal to take catfish with your hands. Using a hook and line to catch catfish is far less risky than noodling.

I was expecting something more sturdy for the price. Also, there were no directions on which poles go where. I think I received way more poles then mentioned in the description and some extra caps. A few of the clips were stuck so I had to use pliers to loosen them up like the others. I plan on filling the bases with sand as water leaked out of them.

Photo gallery: Police train for theater shooting in full mock scenario
RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- The calls came in over the dispatch radio on Thursday "multiple shots fired inside the movie theater at Victoria Gardens."
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies and Rancho Cucamonga firefighters responded to the crime scene in full ballistic gear. Sheriff's deputies entered through a side door, guns drawn, preparing themselves for the hostile environment.
Inside, people screamed for help. Sheriff's deputies entered each screening room looking to eliminate the threat that had already injured so many.
In one wing, a man was found laying on the ground near the exit, his daughter was laying motionless beside him "" the two had been trying to escape when they were shot.
The movie they were watching was still projected on the screen. The room was dark, only illuminated by the lights in the walkway and the deputies' flashlights. If it wasn't a drill, it would have been a horrific sight.
Nearly 100 sheriff's deputies were utilized over the 4-day training session that re-enacted an active shooter inside a crowded theater. About 86 firefighters, plus management, participated as well. Other departments came to observe.
Thursday was the last day of the training. It came a year after the theater shooting in Aurora Colorado where 12 people died and 70 were injured.
"It actually gets your adrenaline pumping really good, even though you know it's training," said Cpl. Randy Naquin of the Sheriff's Department. "When people start screaming it gets pretty real."
During the drill, the theater looked disheveled. Six sheriff's deputies with ballistic gear "" helmets, vests and weapons "" moved slowly, in a single file line through the lobby. They surveyed the scene with their guns drawn.
Items from the concession stand - popcorn containers, soda cups, candy wrappers "" were strewn across the floor, giving the impression that theater patrons has made a quick exit from the building.
Amongst the litter was a hand grenade "" evidence that the hypothetical suspects had come with the intention to do some serious damage.
Deputies saw it when they scanned the room, called it out, marked it as evidence and left it for investigators to find.
"We want to try and make this as real as possible," said Jodi Miller, a sheriff's spokeswoman.
Miller said just the day before in Michigan authorities arrested a man wearing body armor and carrying a loaded pistol and extra rounds.
"He was apprehended before anything happened," she said.
Fire officials said their department has done more than 100 training scenarios in about four years.
"This is our first time doing it in a movie theater," said Ofer Lichtman, terrorism liaison officer with the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Department. "Unfortunately, this is a reality."
When sheriff's deputies secured the scene on Thursday, firefighters were allowed in.
"Fire is willing to accept a higher level of responsibility in these scenarios," said Sheriff's Sgt. Paul Schaefer.
Those participating in the drill wore a different uniform than they were used to - more protection for a more violent environment.
"Now we have more ballistic gear and body armor for the paramedics entering the scene," Lichtman said. "They have to train in that. They have to learn how to move in it."
Bodies were strewn across the floor, some moaning for help. One boy ran down the hall and collapsed on the floor, yelling that he had been shot.
Paramedics attended to the victims by setting up triage centers and helping people get out of the building.
A lot of learning happens during these drills, officials said Thursday. The hectic situation teaches them how to make critical decisions in stressful times.
"The way you train is the way you're going to act in a real life situation," Naquin said.

After I got it home I popped the hood to see if there was anything going wrong in under the hood. The only thing I noticed was there was a little bit of smoke coming from around a spark plug. It's on the drivers side, and second closest to the firewall. It's not a lot of smoke, just a little. I haven't got time today to take it out and see if there's oil on the spark plug, so I was wondering if anyone had any idea's I'd really appericate it. Thanks. Oh also both the passenger side doors won't open from either the inside or outside. How do I get them open to figure out why there not working right? Thanks again.

| March 24, 2011 | People
Miami DJ Ross One (still "Ross Schwartzman" to his family back in Ohio) shies away from the term "celebrity DJ." Still, he's keeping more and more A-list bottles popping, thanks to his multi-genre, high-energy party sets spanning everything from house to rock to Southern hip-hop.
Since industry friends convinced him to decamp from New York five years ago, he's set himself apart on the South Beach scene by introducing locals to relatively left-field sounds— most notably spun at LIV, Arkadia, Tao Las Vegas and his weekly Favela Beach bash on Tuesday nights at Wall. "It started as a real homegrown party among friends," he says of Favela, "[and] developed a reputation for playing newer, independent dance music you wouldn't hear elsewhere."
Beyond even those sonically international parties and residencies, Ross hopes to further share his diverse tastes through a new mix he's released with fellow DJ pal Roctakon, The Notorious Party Boy Soundtrack. "It's more the music we like to hear when we go out on our own," he says, "anything from the Stone Roses to Van Halen to Usher."
Ross' set at Marquee Las Vegas' New Year's Eve afterparty spurred impromptu performances by Rihanna, Kanye West and Jay-Z, as well as a personal entreaty from Diddy: "He requested one of his new songs, and put a bottle of Cîroc on every table when it came on."

I owned a restaurant and a couple years ago a sales rep for Alpine credit card processing came to review my rates.
He told me that with alpine he could get me better rates.
at the same time he was selling the hand held and wireless credit card processor.
I thought it would be a good addition.
When he showed me the contract I refused because it was noncancelable and I wanted to sale the restaurant.
He then said that was just a formality that the leasing company ae Ladco could not enforce it and that if i was to sale the restaurant they would take it back without any problem.
i sold the restaurant and now Ladco is enforcing the contract that was not suppose to be enforced .
they would not transfer the equipment as promess and even have a collection agency harrasing me.
The equipment never worked as well and we never got support on it either.
