Companies of all stripes are getting bot happy, rolling out bots for third-party platforms like Facebook Messenger, Kik, WeChat, Slack, and more. Firms like Yahoo, H&M, KLM Airlines, and others use these chat bots — software built to simulate human conversation and to help consumers complete tasks — in an effort to better win, serve, and retain customers.
A few banking providers are beginning to dip their bank-shaped toes into the bot space: Capital One allows customers to take actions like paying bills via Alexa on Echo devices; Bank of America has announced plans to roll out a bot on Facebook Messenger; and numerous Chinese providers offer banking services via WeChat.
But while a few banks are in a position to experiment, digital business executives at most banks must decide whether to use precious resources to build or buy a chat bot offering. Forrester's brand-new research report argues that most of these executives should hold off on launching chat bots for messaging platforms. This is because:

Today, the average US smartphone owner spends over 2 hours per day using apps and websites on their device — more time than they spend watching TV. Despite this, most of the time that consumers spend using these mobile devices is to communicate with others. Downloaded social networking and communication apps — messaging, email, and digital video/voice – come in a variety of forms; some facilitate intimate conversation, while others blast a network (or even the public) with a one-way status update. As a whole, these apps achieve some of the highest app reach and engagement rates for both US and UK consumers.
My recent report, The Uptake And Engagement Of Social Mobile Apps In The US And The UK, compares the reach of social mobile apps as well as the average number of days per month and sessions per day that smartphone owners (18+) use these apps. Using Forrester's Mobile Audience Data (passively tracked smartphone data), we found that:

This a guest post by Meredith Cain, a Research Associate on the Application Development & Delivery (AD&D) team.
As Francis Bacon wrote in 1625, "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain." Although he did not write this with Facebook Messenger or customer service in mind, the meaning still applies. If customers will not come to your business, your business must go to the customers. In 2016, customer service application professionals struggle to find common ground where businesses can fulfill as many customers' needs as possible in a seamless and timely manner. With one out of every nine people on the planet already using Facebook Messenger, businesses should start to capitalize on this consolidation of customers by adopting Messenger, rather than attempting to move the "mountain."
In our recent report, we argue that customer service application professionals should make plans to incorporate Messenger into their service arsenal. Facebook's recent announcement of new Messenger tools that include business-friendly innovations, as well as Facebook's already ubiquitous user base, positions Messenger to serve as the bridge between Muhammad and the mountain. As this metaphorical bridge, Messenger provides customer service pros with:

This summer Switzerland's incumbent carrier, Swisscom, launched a simple but revolutionary new mobile tariff, Natel Infinity. Infinity is a speed-based tariff that comes in the versions XS, S, M, L, and XL, which represent download speeds ranging from 200 kbit/s to 100 Mbit/s. Prices range from CHF59 to CHF169 per month (€49 to €139). Significantly, the tariff throws in unlimited national voice, SMS messaging services, and data usage without any additional charge (XL even comes with unlimited international calls to most destinations and SMS).
The idea is simple: The greater your urge for fast mobile services, the more you pay — irrespective of which apps you use and how you wish to communicate. All that matters is speed. In this respect, Swisscom has replicated for the mobile world a tariff approach that is already fairly common in the fixed-line world. I believe this move by Swisscom is noteworthy in two respects:

Much like in the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," tech marketers must find the right balance between too many and too few messages. Common pitfalls include standardizing on a one-message-fits-all philosophy to having so many messages that sales and marketing are unable to deliver them to the right people, at the right time, and in the right context. That's where Guiding Principle Number Five fits in.
Guiding Principle Number Five: Messaging 3x2
For almost all technology solutions, it's necessary to have variances in messaging to reflect the different roles or titles, geographies, size companies, different industries, etc., that tech marketers are targeting. The good news for tech marketers is that Forrester Tech Marketing Navigator data shows that by focusing on the top three shared messages that are relevant across multiple segments and the two messages that are uniquely relevant to a specific segment/target, tech marketers can achieve the Goldilocks' "just right" quotient for messaging.

SAP Has Managed A Turnaround After Léo Apotheker's Departure
In February 2010, after Léo Apotheker resigned as CEO of SAP, I wrote a blog post with 10 predictions for the company for the remaining year. Although the new leadership mentioned again and again that this step would not have any influence on the company's strategy, it was clear that further changes would follow, as it doesn't make any sense to simply replace the CEO and leave everything else as is when problems were obviously growing bigger for the company.
I predicted that the SAP leadership change was just the starting point, the visible tip of an iceberg, with further changes to come. Today, one year later, I want to review these predictions and shed some light on 2010, which has become the "Turnaround Year For SAP."
The 10 SAP Predictions For 2010 And Their Results (7 proved true / 3 proved wrong)
1. More SAP Board Changes Will Come — TRUE

@arapilesLocale: Melbourne
(Apologies if this has already been posted, but a search showed nothing …)
Snow Peak have introduced a line of sleeping bags in Japan, with 3 models:
– 90/10 800 FP down
– 20 denier fabrics
weights are 670 grams/830 grams/1120 grams, ratings for the three bags are +6C for the lightest one, 1C for the middle and -7C for the heaviest
the black fabric on the side and bottom of the bags is water resistant and the grey fabric on top is stated to be very breathable.
without doing a fill-weight comparison, they appear to be heavier than WM but they do have a few more features (pockets) which may add weight
@ngatelLocale: Southern California
What are the weights and temperature ratings for us English speaking folks?
@scfhomeLocale: Chocorua NH, USA
Rick, I think Nick means he wants conversions to ounces and degrees F.
For the computer challenged, recommend the pocket size Carpenter's Helper by R.S.Wood of Liberty, Maine, USA.
For grams to ounces multiply times .03527.
So 830 grams for the midsize = 29.27 ounces.
Guess carpenters don't convert temps much, but one degree C. (celsius or centigrade) = 33.8 degrees F (Fahrenheit). The fact that they rated it one degree C above freezing suggests that it probably won't keep most people warm at freezing.
The Montbell Spiral #3 is rated at 30 degrees F and weighs 20 oz. That and the super version have both been reviewed here. You might want to take a look.
I've had good luck with mine so far – no clumping or loss of loft, but not washed yet.
@ngatelLocale: Southern California
There was a smiley face in my post.
A Western Mountaineering Ultralight 6' 0" weighs 29 ounces and is rated at 20F.
The warmest Snow Peak is rated at 19.4F and weighs 39.5 ounces. I would guess it is probably much shorter than the WM.

How does it work?
Incorporating both bar and rope work, trapeze classes initially start with the equipment being rigged at a low height so that you can thoroughly master the basics. Following a short, ground based warm up, group classes usually move on to a learning session where the trainer runs through some foundation moves and tricks on a static bar and rope set up. After you have memorised and tried out a few acrobatic exercises, you will then begin a period of conditioning work, designed to strengthen and tone up key muscles used on the trapeze. Finally, the class will end with a warm down, including stretches and gentle ground work to ease those muscles back into life on solid ground. Many centres approach trapeze work as a form of aerial yoga that simply targets different muscles. Instead of pushing down onto a mat, muscles are pulled and stretched, with shoulders, the spine and stomach muscles being particularly tested. It also promises similar results to weight training, as once off the ground, you are lifting and manoeuvring your entire body weight (even when doing something as simple as swinging). It may look graceful in the hands of professionals, but trapeze classes are hard work and you won't find yourself being able to flip and swing immediately – as they say, patience is a virtue. Centres usually suggest a course of six lessons so that you are able to reach a level where you can begin to string a series of moves together, and also advise that you look into doing some extra abdominal work to strengthen your core muscles. Apparently, arm and leg muscle strength is almost guaranteed to noticeably improve without any supplementary exercise over the course of a couple of weeks – we like the sound of that. Devotees even claim that the sport can act as a form of stress relief, with the concentration needed to pick up technical intricacies during classes ensuring that external worries are banished to the back of your mind. The adrenaline rush from attempting an aerial trick for the first time is also said to boost your mood, providing a mental as well as physical reward at the end of a satisfying lesson.
Is it for me?
Trapeze proficiency takes time, so if you're not a fan of being out of your comfort zone during the initial stages of a workout regime, then it might not be for you. Persistence and a willingness to dedicate yourself to something new and testing is a must, so you should be prepared to ache in places you never thought possible by the end of your first class.
If you're scared of heights, fear not- plenty of classes will not progress with bar work any higher than a couple of feet from the ground. There are also purely static trapeze classes available, where swinging and high bar work do not even enter the equation.
Classes are aimed at both men and women over the age of 16 and there is no upper age limit. Those with longstanding injuries that are prone to flare ups may be advised to search for an alternative form of exercise, and it is probably best for pregnant women to avoid swinging around in trapeze classes. Overall, injuries obtained as a result of classes are rare, but as with any sport, failure to adequately warm up can lead to sprains and twists. Crash mats below even the lowest of bars tend to prevent any form of fall-related aches and pains.
Good to know
The world's first trapeze act took place on November 12, 1859 at the Cirque Napoleon in Paris. Performer Jules Léotard amazed the audience by swinging through the air on the bar of his new invention and made such an impression that the trapeze has been a staple of circus performances ever since.

Hello, C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is used to test for infections as well as for inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Progressive increases correlate with increases of inflammation/injury. CRP can be used to detect early postoperative wound infection and also to follow therapeutic responses to anti inflammatory agents. Elevated alkaline phosphatase is associated with numerous signs and symptoms. Alkaline phosphatase is a group of isoenzymes that originate in your bone, liver, intestines, skin and placenta. Iam going to mention some of the conditions that may elevate the alkaline phosphatase: biliary obstruction, rickets (disorder that affects your bones, causing them to become soft and fracture easily), liver cirrhosis. If a high level of alkaline phosphatase is found, further lab studies are needed to see if the elevated levels are coming from the liver or from bone. Blockage of the liver bile ducts and a condition called primary biliary cirrhosis can also cause an elevated alkaline phosphatase level, as can gallbladder disease. L-throxine is only medicine available to treat hypothyroidism and if taken in proper dosage, has very minimal side effects that could be negligible and this tablet can be taken lifelong with hardly detectable side-effect. Avoid taking other forms of Medicine like thripala, continue any one form of Medicine.

|Help: Tomcat 4.0.3 with Windows 2000
|Thu, 06 Jun 2002 20:07:52 GMT
Hi, I have a problem using Tomcat 4.0.3. I started using Tomcat 4.0.3 as a standalone web server on my windows2000 machine, but I'm experiencing an odd problem. I modified server.xml very little. All I did was (1) to use port 80 instead of 8080, and (2) to turn on the servlet reloading by including <DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>. Then I change the content of the content of ROOT with mine. At first, it worked. I was able to use Tomcat 4.0.3 as a web server as I wanted and I was able to test my servlet code. So far so good, but all of a sudden, Tomcat 4.0.3 does not work. When I tried to load my web page, I got the following error message. "Apach Tomcat/4.0.3-HTTP Status 500 -No Context configured to process this request type Status report message No Context configured to process this request description The server encountered an internal error (No Context configured to process this request) that prevented it from fulfilling this request" But when I switch the content of ROOT back to its original, bundled with Tomcat distribution, it started working again. What did I wrong with it? It seems like that switching the content of ROOT is not the right way to use Tomcat as a personal web server. Then what is the right way of doing it? Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to some solutions.

Leave out all the rest
I couldn't believe the timing of the assignment of Mr. Moisson's assignment.
James and I went on another date on Sunday. It was good. Actually, it was great. We'd made it official halfway through the date. I was really happy.
On Monday, Cam and I didn't mention the date at all (well, that was sort of true. He texted me Sunday night and said that he'd leave me alone about it, which surprised me).
It was kind of weird, though, because he wasn't at his locker most of the day when I was going to talk to him. I only saw him in English, and we didn't even speak. I thought he was being a total jerk avoiding me at the time, but I never asked him about it. I guessed his reason later on.
On Monday, however, James seemed kind of upset with me as well.
"Hey there." I felt a hand brush my shoulder.
"Hi." I turned to see James, looking. . .oddly different. "Are you. . .feeling alright, James?"
"Yeah, sort of. Some stuff went down after you left last night."
"What stuff?" I asked.
"Nothing to worry about. Some people got some ideas into their heads."
"Oh." I took another glance at his face, then remembered passing Cam in the hallway. "Is that why Cam has a black eye?" I blurted, not even realizing what I'd said until James's mouth dropped open.
"It wasn't me who gave him that." he said flatly, taking me by arm. "I know he's your friend, but he's a bit of a. . ."
"Look, I knew right off you and he wouldn't see eye to eye. If you think he's weird, that's fine." I said in a low voice. I didn't want to fight with him.
"He's more of an outcast, Rebecca. He doesn't talk to very many people and he never seems to do anything that matters. The only place anybody sees him is at the grocery store, bagging people's stuff."
"I've known him for a long time, James. But, and I'm only curious because he's my friend, how did he get that black eye?"
James's face seemed. . .disdainful, I guess, when he told me that he could swear Cam was dead drunk. I wasn't sure whether I could believe him or not.

Former Speaker Betty Boothroyd by Benedict Brogan
TONY Blair faced accusations from his own side last night that he has been left a lame duck by the Trident rebellion and turmoil in the Lords.
The Prime Minister's dwindling band of loyalists rallied to his support after he suffered a humiliating rebellion on a vital national security isue.
More here...
• Quentin Letts: Cameron had the air of a man overtaking a slower vehicle
He was stung by a candid assessment from former Speaker Betty Boothroyd - once a Labour MP - who said he had been "slapped in the face".
She said he had been reduced to a "lame duck" by rebellions, the scandal of cash for peerages, and his decision to announce his departure more than two years in advance.
Her stinging verdict capped a disastrous 24 hours for Mr Blair as he watched the Lords resoundingly reject calls for an elected upper house and MPs stage a massive revolt on Trident.
Mr Blair was forced to rely on David Cameron and his MPs to win approval for the renewal of Britain's nuclear deterrent.
He suffered the biggest revolt since the vote on the Iraq war as 95 Labour MPs refused to back a major government initiative.
The result raised fears that the Parliamentary party has discovered a taste for rebellion that could cause problems for Gordon Brown.
With Tory support, Mr Blair comfortably won the vote on a motion supporting Trident renewal by 409 votes to 161, a majority of 248.
But the vote left the Labour Party divided after 88 of its members opposed the Government and 95 voted in favour of an amendment tabled by rebel Labour MPs to delay a decision.
In a rare interview Lady Boothroyd told the BBC Mr Blair had been "slapped in the face" by the Lords as they voted to reject a Commons call for an all-elected second chamber.
She said the cash for peerages scandal had done "a great deal of damage" to public life in the ake of Mr Blair's pledge a decade agao to clean up politics.
She told the BBC: "We had too many promises about purer than pure, whiter than white and all that. That's why people despise poliics because they feel the promises which were made have not been fulfilled."
She added: "He's now becoming a lame duck, I'm sorry to say," and added that Mr Blair had been "quite wrong" to announce in 2004 that he would not fight the next election.
Speaking to Newsnight, she also called for a "serious election with serious candidates" to choose Mr Blair's successor, and pointedly refused to offer a public endorsement to Mr Brown.
But Labour chairman Hazel Blears rejected any suggestion that the Prime Minister was now a lame duck, and claimed the Trident vote demonstrated his continued authority.
"If you've lost your authority, you are not prepared to go in there and take some really, really tough decisions. It's almost the opposite," she told the BBC Today programme.
She also insisted that the public would back the Government over the replacement of Trident, claiming it had been an "emotional" and divisive issue for the Labour Party.
She said:" If we would have delayed this decision, we would then have been left with a three or four-year period in which our submarines would not have been serviceable.
"And then we would have not been in a position to protect the British people. I think that was entirely the wrong place to be and I think the people of this country will recognise that you did have to take this decision, that you were prepared to push it through."
Mrs Blears, who is running for election as Labour deputy, said she had "absolutely no doubt whatsoever" that Mr Brown would press ahead with Trident.
Left-winger John McDonnell, who has said that he intends to run against Mr Brown, said the leadership was out of step with the party.
"The scale of this rebellion clearly demonstrates that the Prime Minister has completely misjudged the overwhelming mood in the party. This is only the beginning of the campaign against Trident's replacement," he said.

In life or death, Bill Hicks can do no wrong in my eyes, something I feel it's important to declare.
In life or death, Bill Hicks can do no wrong in my eyes, something I feel it's important to declare. I know that people tire of the clichéd comparisons that pit him against other comedians, and of the resurrection of his name at any given opportunity. Indeed, Chas Early, who has revived the iconic American comedian, repudiates this approach in Hicks's name.
Nevertheless, for those people like me - the converted - this is an absolutely must-see show and there are surely enough of us to pack The Pleasance Hut for the Edinburgh run. Before and after seeing the show, I was struck by how ambitious it is, but the love Early has for his subject carries it off. From the point of view of appearance, movement, facial expression, delivery and content, Slight Return is a triumph of mimicry, research and writing.
In the decade since Hicks's death there has been a wealth of material he would have got his teeth into: the Bush "election", the second Gulf War and the War on Terror, Gap kids watching Michael Moore movies and so on... Either by transposing the structure of previous routines on to these subjects or using the essence of Bill, Early conjures up something that doesn't take the name of his hero in vain (though he relies too much, perhaps, on Hicks's pornographic bent).
The full force of his act will never live up to seeing Hicks live, but remember: this is theatre, and the anticipation of the punchline is not the only factor at work here. In this comedy by proxy, there is another layer between the comedian/ actor and the audience.
The dual narrative is more obvious in Nick Grosso's Killing Paul McCartney. Jake Wood plays stand-up Tommy Kay, whose set takes place in the context of a night in the pub with Rosie, his flatmate, actress and sort-of girlfriend. The act, a scripted "stream-of-consciousness" journey with no real punchlines, soaks up real and fictitious audience interruptions, so you never quite know where you are. Why you are there falls into place when the routine turns to Paul McCartney's views on milk, or, more to the point, why it matters to us what celebrities say. Why do we listen to them? Why have we come to see Tommy? There is a tension between the respect commanded by the two entertainers, McCartney and Kay, which finally serves to underline the ephemeral nature of the majority of stand-up.
The playwright Grosso has been described as both Harold Pinter and Oscar Wilde on amphetamines. I would have added Samuel Beckett to the pot. As his character says: "People say to me you never get to the point, Tommy. The truth is there is no point."

One in Five Americans to Get Second Job for the Holidays – Survey of the Day
The holidays can be expensive, and this year 21 percent of Americans plan to get a second job to help pay for all the gifts and travel costs that go with the season.
The holidays can be expensive, and this year 21 percent of Americans plan to get a second job to help pay for all the gifts and travel costs that go with the season.
According to a new Gallup poll, 50 percent of American adults favor legalizing marijuana, the highest percentage in Gallup's 42-year history of asking that question. Forty-six percent of Americans believe marijuana should remain illegal.
Naming a child is usually the first big decision a new parent makes, and one that almost one and ten would like to do be able to do again.
The Occupy Wall Street movement continues to generate headlines, so what better time to see what Americans actually think of our esteemed financial institutions?
Forty-seven percent of Americans think Wall Street hurts the American economy more than it helps, whereas only 38 percent think the opposite is true.
Kids always look forward to trick-or-treating on Halloween, but a new study from the Centers for Disease and Prevention may give some parents pause.
The CDC reports children are four times more likely to be hit by cars on October 31 than on any other day of the year — probably not terribly surprising, given the increase in the number of kids who are out and about on Halloween.

Energy is a key operational consideration for mine projects. Without power, mining operations would come to a halt. Securing a sufficient source of power for operations, both above and below ground is essential to ensuring uninterrupted mine development and operations. Current trends also demand sustainable energy practices, with a push to increase conservation practices through all mine phases.
With advanced experience in transmission and distribution siting and design services, we have the staff and the experience to integrate proven energy conservation practices into your project. We can identify the most cutting-edge energy technologies to keep your mine operating at maximum efficiency.
From baseload power supply to high performance power transmission systems or with sustainable power solutions like solar, wind and hydropower, we can design an integrated power program tailored to your mining operation. When it comes to navigating the complex permitting processes required to site new transmission lines or to build a power plant to support your operation, we have longstanding positive working relationships with regulatory agencies at all levels—from federal to state and local entities around the country. Working together with you and the regulators, we will keep your mining project moving forward.

Isn't mining just the most alluring industry in the investment landscape? It spins that simplest and most exciting of dreams, that of digging in the ground and striking it rich. And the London stock market provides ample opportunities to play this sector, from the raciest little exploratory venture in a far off land to the global goliaths that now make up more than 10 per cent of the FTSE 100.
It has been a vintage 12 months. As commodity prices have soared, largely on the back of strong demand from China, so share prices have jumped, in some cases, by as much as 50 per cent. We don't think this story is over, and there are more riches to come if you pick the right metal or mineral.
Thanks to the huge steel industries in China and India, iron ore is the commodity of the moment, with prices at about $120 a tonne, more than double benchmark prices in 2009. And for the moment at least, that means that Rio Tinto the jewel in the London crown.
Rio makes 70 per cent of net profits from the commodity, thanks to its world class iron ore assets that include its share of the Pilbara site in Western Australia. It also has projects with great potential, including the Simandou site in Guinea, and the similar assets in Mongolia.
Earlier this month, the company said that full year earnings would be 7 per cent ahead of forecasts and that half year net earnings were 125 per cent up on last year. Even though the digger's shares are up 40 per cent in the last year, the stock is still undervalued on a price to earnings basis to the rest of the mining giants. Rio Tinto is the pick of the bunch.
But investors ignore the rest of the sector at their peril. BHP Billiton, which spotted Rio's potential but failed in a bid to buy its rival two years ago, also has decent upside. Its shares have been treading water since April, when production numbers disappointed some analysts, and they are still inexpensive. We expect a boost from strong full year numbers next week, again thanks to its iron ore operations.
Anglo-American is another buy, after a transformational year. The group managed to rebuff the attentions of rival Xstrata last summer, and has since stripped away a lot of the flab that was limiting its shares.
These three picks all have large, diverse portfolios, which should limit the risks if any one commodity goes out of favour.
Randgold Resources
Other miners which concentrate their efforts on a single commodity can become a stock market proxy for that metal. Gold prices have soared from less than $950 an ounce a year ago to more than $1,200 today, thanks to nervousness about other assets, and that makes Randgold Resources a standout name in the sector. It isn't a cheap stock, trading on a whopping 22 times next year's predicted earnings, but the shares track the gold price which we think will continue to rise. It will grow into its rating.
We should note for newcomers to mining sector investing that these will never be stocks you can put in your portfolio and just forget about. Read the foreign news pages of the paper as closely as the shares pages. By necessity, miners are operating in some inhospitable places, and even in G20 economies they face more than their fair share of political risk. For example, the Australian government under former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's proposed a 40 per cent profits tax on the industry. China has also flexed its considerable muscle against the miners, firing a shot across the bows of Rio earlier this year when it jailed four employees on bribery charges.
Ariana Resources
The most fun is, of course, down with the small caps, where brave investors can get rich or cry trying. If you are going to dabble, tick off a check-list of qualities: Is the company in production? Does it have the funds necessary to get its material to market? And is the price of whatever it is mining rising? The best bet for punters is to look for those that mine just one commodity, and at the moment there's nothing better than gold.
Turkey-focused Ariana Resources shows just how big the share price moves can be when news comes through. The stock jumped by 25 per cent in the last month alone after it signed joint venture agreements, signalling other companies' interest in some of its assets. Investors should look out for news of its so-called Red Rabbit project, which is getting closer to full production.
Similarly, shares in South American-based group, Mariana Resources, are up nearly 50 per cent on their level of six months ago. Drilling in Chile and Argentina, the group has uncovered impressive deposits of gold and silver, and had little difficultly in persuading institutional investors to part with about £7m in June to back more development of its mines.

These Rope lures are made to catch Longnose Gar.
The sizes they come in are 1/8oz (5 inches long), 1/4oz (6 inches long), 1/2oz (7 inches long) and 3/8oz (8 inches long).
The leaders are made of 50lb braided line tied to a size 2 swivel with a palomar knot. Hardener has also been put on the head wrapping for the best durability.Tips For Using Rope Lures
"You have to find the presentation that works best for you, and the water body you fish. Every Place is different. I like to bounce the lure. Be sure to dip the rope lure in the water before each cast. Doing so adds more weight, letting you cast farther.
The thing most people do wrong with rope Lures is they set the hook. There are no hooks to set in rope lures so you have to resist the urge to set the hook and just open the bail and hold the spool with your finger so the the gar does not just run away with the lure. Put pressure on the line with your finger on the spool and slowly lift up with the rod. You should feel/see the Gar try to back up and shake its head, Thats how they get there teeth hung in the rope. The Gar should now bolt away, click in the reel and begin fighting the Gar. Once the Gar is tired from the fight, put on a glove and grab the gars snout (Watch out for the teeth!!!). Or you can net the Gar.
the first one has no hooks at all

Happiness filled me, it shone within every crevice and shadow that was normally dominated by the hopless, evil and dark demon self that craved nothing but obscene negativity.
Seeing Tristan had made my heart stutter in something that felt akin to love, the emotion that all humans seem to fawn over and yearn for foolishly.
Yet, I was riding such a positive high that the thought of seeing Lucas to perfom evil deeds for him made me sigh in exhasperation.
Usually, I thrived on nothing more than the misery of others, the blood of my enemies and the orders from my fearless and powerful leader.
I puffed out a sigh and strode into Lucas's office.
"Dankia, about time you showed up. I have a new task for you to perform." Lucas said to me as he sat frowing at his computer.
I moved over to the seats in front of his desk and plopped down into one with another sigh.
"What is it?" I asked him warily. Lucas looked at me and grinned.
"I need you to go sort out some of the other demons, there seems to be a power struggle going on between two fledglings, I need you to kill them both." I stared at Lucas and let his words sink in.
"You want me to kill kin?" I asked him; shocked. He nodded and tapped various keys on this keyboard.
"You know what happens when lower demons think that they can gain power when they have no right to it. They must be deposed of quickly before others get the same idea." Lucas shot me a bland look. "You of all people should know what happens when there is a power stuggle in Hell Danika. Fix it before it gets out of hand." He ordered me.
Frustration welled within me. Lucas was right of course.
Nothing good ever came from power struggles, all it did was spill blood and weaken allies. Hell couldn't afford to lose any more soldiers because of their greed.
With a grimace tightening my features, I got to my feet and headed toward the door.
"And the next time you see Tristan, tell him I said hello." Lucas said to my retreating form.
My back stiffened but I continued walking. Of course Lucas would know about Tristan, after all, he is the one the still guarded his true demonic form.
* * *
The change from human to demon always sent a ripple of various sensations skating through my body. My muscles thickened and bulged, my skin darkened to an inky purple and as rough as a lizards skin. My teeth sharped and eyes change to the colour of a glowing violet colour. Power sizzled through me, pumping through my veins, filling me with energy.
I rolled my shoulders and cracked my neck as I strolled into the deep carvern that housed some of the lower demons and their archdemons.
Nothing but silence greeted me, nothing but the echoing silence.
I sighed for what felt like the thousandth time that night. This was going to be a very long and bloody night.

A good Tuesday morning to all. It's beginning to feel a lot like December — cold and raw. You're waking up to 16 degrees and fair skies. Factor in the wind chill and we're talking about 7 degrees.
Allow a little extra time this morning for your commute, you'll need it to scrape the ice off your windshield.
Today's forecast calls for sunny skies through mid-morning, then becoming partly sunny with a high near 35 degrees.
Tonight will be partly cloudy with a low around 22 degrees.
At least there is no snow in the forecast.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The pounding that the Los Angeles Angels inflicted on Garrett Olson only amplified the kind of airtight pitching fellow lefty Chris Waters gave Baltimore less than 24 hours earlier against the AL West leaders.
Vladimir Guerrero homered and drove in four runs, Garret Anderson had three hits and two RBI, and the Angels beat the Orioles 9-4 on Wednesday with basically the same lineup that was held to one hit over eight innings by Olson in his big league debut.
"Pitching is very important. What we saw yesterday showed that if a guy hits his spots, you can get beat at any time. Today they threw a lefty at us again and we went out there and teed off on him," Torii Hunter said.
Ervin Santana (13-5) allowed four runs and eight hits over seven innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. The first-time All-Star got as much run support in this outing as he did over his previous four starts combined, including a 5-2 loss at Camden Yards on July 27.
But that was before the Angels acquired their new No. 3 hitter, Mark Teixeira, from the Atlanta Braves. Hitting in front of Guerrero has benefited both of them. But it may be premature to compare the Angels' one-two punch to what Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz gave the Boston Red Sox before Ramirez was traded to the Dodgers last week.
"We've got our own thing going. We don't want to do the Manny-Papi thing. Were going to have a Tex-Vlade thing," Hunter said with a grin. "Having those guys in the lineup makes it so much easier."
Guerrero highlighted a three-run first with his 20th homer, a two-run shot that followed Teixeira's two-out single. Hunter walked and came all the way around on Anderson's double.
"The only thing we're doing different now than earlier in the year is that we're getting hits," Anderson said. "Guys are still doing the same thing, they're just finding holes now."
Jeff Mathis made it 4-0 in the second with his ninth homer. Teixeira led off the third with a double into the left-field corner, continued to third when the ball got past rookie Luis Montanez for an error, then scored on a wild pitch. Anderson added an RBI single later in the inning.
"The great thing about us right now is that, on any given night, someone can get the big hit," Teixeira said. "I don't have to carry this team. In fact, there's not one guy on this team that has to carry us."
Teixeira is 8-for-28 with a grand slam, six RBI and seven runs scored in his first eight games with the Angels.
"He puts fear in pitchers," Hunter said. "He swings from both sides of the plate with power and can hit for average. And if you don't throw a strike, he's not swinging."
The Angels tacked on three more runs in the fourth on Guerrero's two-run single off the right-field fence and Hunter's sacrifice fly.
"Vlade is a Hall of Famer, and other teams and other pitchers know that," Hunter said. "I mean, the guy can get on base anytime he wants to. He doesn't even have to swing, because they're not giving him anything good to hit. The same pitches he chased and missed early in the season, he's crushing 'em now."
Olson lasted only 2 2/3 innings, allowing six runs and seven hits after throwing 117 pitches over 8 1/3 innings last Friday in a 10-5 win at Seattle.
"I don't think that took anything out of him," Orioles manager Dave Trembley said. "He just didn't locate and didn't have much finish. He had Teixeira with two strikes in the first inning and left him off the hook. Then the pitch to Guerrero looked like it was on a tee."
Montanez homered on the second pitch he saw in the major leagues, trimming the Angels' lead to 4-1 in the third. The only other player in Orioles history to homer in his first big league at-bat was relief pitcher Les "Buster" Narum on May 3, 1963.
Nick Markakis hit his 16th homer for Baltimore in the fifth, a three-run shot that narrowed the gap to 9-4. Markakis was 5-for-12 with seven RBI in the three-game series and is hitting .332 over his last 62 games, raising his average from a season-low .247 to .299.
- Orioles CF Jay Payton, getting a chance to play regularly while Adam Jones is on the disabled list with a broken foot, robbed Juan Rivera of a home run in the fifth.
- Montanez, the third overall pick in the 2000 draft by the Chicago Cubs, made his big league debut Tuesday night as defensive replacement in the ninth inning.
- Guerrero became the fourth player in Angels history to hit 20 or more home runs in five consecutive seasons, joining Anderson, Tim Salmon and Brian Downing.
- Angels C Mike Napoli, sidelined since July 6 because of irritation in his right shoulder, was set to conclude his minor league rehab assignment with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday night and will be activated Friday for the series opener against the Yankees.

Map & Directions
From London, the journey takes four hours by car, or two and a half hours by train from King's Cross station to Leeds -- and then half an hour by taxi to the hotel.
Rooms & Rates
Wood Hall Hotel & Spa is a "delightful" Georgian manor (The AA) located in Wetherby, West Yorkshire -- halfway between Leeds and York. It is surrounded by 100 acres of picturesque parkland, just outside the market town of Wetherby.
Harewood House, a "spectacular" (Fodor's) 18th-century manor house with Robert Adam interiors, Chippendale furniture and a garden designed by Capability Brown, is a 15-minute drive. The hotel is within 40 minutes' drive of Leeds, York, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and The Hepworth Wakefield -- a modern-art gallery showcasing the work of sculptor Barbara Hepworth. The ruins of Fountains Abbey are also around 40 minutes away by car, and the hotel is a 30-minute drive from the gardens at RHS Harlow Carr.
The Georgian Restaurant holds two AA Rosettes for "well-conceived" (The AA Restaurant Guide 2016) dishes. Yorkshire produce is the main attraction, and there are also views of the River Wharfe and the valley. Traditional afternoon tea and elevenses are available in The Drawing Room. The hotel has a health club, with an indoor swimming pool, a steam room, a Jacuzzi, a gym and two treatment rooms.
Most Classic Rooms are in the modern wing and courtyard area, and have views of the woodland or grounds. All rooms have free Wi-Fi, cashmere mattresses and DVD and CD players -- guests can borrow movies and music from the hotel's collection.

conditioned crawl space,
i have two contractors at odds on how to condition a crawl space after some mold removal....they agree on materials, cleaning, etc. but they disagree on venting. one says to just put a positive air vent at one end of the house and the other says to put a return air vent in the crawl space...any opinions as to which is better....or any pro and cons
So you actually mean to condition a crawl space?
Or are you looking to vent the space for moisture removal and/or to keep it dry?
I have never heard of putting a return air in a crawl space, what is the purpose of that?
Thank you .
conditioned crawl space
andy....the 'modern' theory of crawl space conditioning say to seal off all vents, put down wall and covering for the dirt floor and pipe your heat and ac into the crawl space ...the opposing views are one say just put a positive vent to the outside of the house and the other says to put a return air vent into the return air duct...this position maintains that by doing so the system is closed and air temperature and moisture are close throughout the home....essentially making your crawl space like a basement in terms of air (temp and moisture).....the purpose of the project is to eliminate excessive moisture and hencemold spores. I am wondering if there are any benefits to the vent vs the air return....the air return guy says why pump conditioned air and $ to the outside. any opinions appreciated
I would install 4 or 5 vents in the crawlspace and just naturally let it ventilate. Maybe 2 in front and 2 in back, depends. Make sure you don't have anything causing moisture down there, IE: Dryer vents, water leaks, etc.
I would not hook up a return air from there.
Have you thought of sealing the crawl and then installing a dehumidifier to maintain a mold free level of humidity? You can also add fresh air and ventilate it on demand or timed. Aprilaire makes a good dehumidifier, so does thermastor and honeywell. I have not seen anyone add supply or return air to a crawl and do not think I would recommend it.
I'm not HVAC but I pulled these from my library, maybe you can gleen something from them….
Here are the code choices; http://www2.iccsafe.org/cs/committee...E_06_64_07.pdf

Cover the foam board on the walls; http://www2.iccsafe.org/cs/committee...E_06_64_07.pdf
I found this very interesting; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...n-crawlspaces/
Good info, thanks Gary.
I bought a house and it had a dirt crawlspace the entire size of the house. I had 4" of concrete pumped in for the floor (have 46" of clearance as of today), installed insulation on the walls and have a dehumidifier. I live in Chicgao and it maintains 60-65 degrees all year with a humidity level of 45%. it is a great storage dry storage area.
Sealing the crawlspace is the next project on my list.
Due to the unseen termite/bug possibility behind the block wall vapor barrier, I plan to coat the block walls with Zinsser WaterTite vs. installing 16 mil vapor barrier up the walls. If the Zinsser product does not adequately control air and moisture, I can still add the 16 mil to the walls.
A supply at one end, and a return at the other.
or, as above, in some cases, a dehumidifier will work as well. but can cost more to operate.
crawl space
To been there or anyone else:
i have a 2500 sq ft irregular shaped crawl space....i have been told to put two 6"supply vents roughly 12ft from outside walls for heat and air and to put a 12' return vent in the middle of the crawl space on the return trunk this is to be done after remediation of mold (not much but some in various spots) and the placement of a vapor barrier and the sealing of all vents...what do you think? also would you add a dehumider? thanks dan
Am I understanding this right? When return and supply are mentioned does that mean vents with it's own fan independent of the house HVAC system ? If so I would definitely recommend that to keep fresh air moving through the crawl.
Don't really need to condition the crawlspace to human comfort standards. And it doesn't take much to warm a crawl space up.
I would probably only put in 2 supplies(one at each end) because of your description of shape, and a 8" return.
Good chance you'll need the dehumidifier in the summer to keep the humidity down in the mild times of the year, when the A/C hardly runs.

Patient Scott shares Australian Masters lead, Kuchar lurks
By Ian Ransom
MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Defending champion Adam Scott was patience personified as he grafted to a share of the lead at the Australian Masters, while American Matt Kuchar moved quietly into contention after the second round on Friday.
U.S. Masters champion Scott was rock-solid on another blustery day at Royal Melbourne, shooting a flawless five-under 66 for a nine-under total of 133 and a one-shot lead with local surprise package Nathan Holman.
Although sublime off tee and fairway, and enjoying a perfect start with three straight birdies, Scott had to grind his way through a frustrating run of 11 straight pars before picking up strokes on the 15th and 17th.
"I was hoping it was going to be one of those days," Scott told reporters after burning the cups on at least half a dozen holes.
"But it definitely cooled off... It kind of feels like I plodded along. It wasn't an exciting five-under at all."
Flanked by huge galleries and enjoying a purple patch of form, the 33-year-old's bogey-free round kept his title defense on track and his bid to sweep Australia's three marquee tournaments alive ahead of the national Open in Sydney.
Along with Holman, Scott, who won the Australian PGA Championship in the Gold Coast last week, sit a stroke ahead of overnight leader Nick Cullen and fellow Australian Matt Griffin on eight-under.
World number eight Kuchar, warming up for his title defense for the United States at the World Cup of Golf at the same course next week, was alone in fifth place after carding a 66 set up by a blistering front nine. Continued...
