The people in passing stopped to watch, eyes wide, the spectacle of the two-headed Golden Retriever jumping through hoops and hurdles, their eyes fastened to my every move. I was used to being a freak, hell I invented an industry, and I made millions showcasing my failures. My blog had national readership, the video feeds were getting 138,000 hits daily and I was receiving advertising dollars from three of the industries top corporate sponsors. I was a celebrity. But making this walk alone, outside of the goldfish bowl, I felt somehow deserted by my own size.
Two ham hocks struggling one after the next support my 460 lbs frame, my arms giant pendulums keeping time as I walk up the hill to convene with the promise I had made her. The hill is the one from the recurring dream, an obscure place, nowhere I had ever heard and she had never been, but she knew it was where she was meant to be.
I can feel my arms going numb from the time they have spent vertical, my legs ready to give out under the pressure but I continue the momentum burning through another five, ten feet, thirty, I am half way to the top before I see them again. They watch as if I am going to at any moment shed the suit and sprint for the top, I laugh a little inside, this will never happen. The hill is not very steep, and no one has offered a hand or asked me why? They only part before me gawking. No one speaks, only whispers.
I carry myself thirteen more feet and stop for the fist time on a park bench. The wood creaks beneath my large rear, I am afraid it will snap but dare not show my spectators. Gawking a hefty young girl, maybe ten, probably twelve carrying a pink bottle approaches. It is a hot day and she wears a cardigan over her collared blouse and thick black pants. I am afraid she will laugh, her face melting in the sun I am also afraid she will point out the sweat seeping up through my own collar.
"Hello!" the sweet voice chirps from within her plump body.
"Hello?" I answer trying not to question yet somehow curious
"My mother is over there," she looks into the crowd but no one looks back "don't worry she knows I am out here with you, I'm not like trying to be abducted or anything, not that you could… never mind. She wants to know if you need this?" she hands me the large pink cylinder of water.
"Oh my…" I was not expecting this "Thank You!" I open the water and fill my mouth with its sweet cool embrace. I feel my mouth drinking in the flavor, my throat opening and my body rushing with hydration.
She opens her mouth, breathes deeply then exhales confused.
"Were you going to ask me something?" I smile "My name is Timothy but you can call me Titan, everybody does"
"Hi I'm Elizabeth." Extending her hand climbing up adding her moderate weight to the bench I cringe not for my own but her embarrassment "everyone calls me Headie, 'cause of my last name, its kind of a weird last name but it makes it so people can tell who she's talkin' about in class. Is Titan your last name?" she gives me no time to answer "I don't mind it too bad but I prefer Lizzy or Beth, or my favorite is my gram' calls me Lizbeth." a tiny laugh escapes her like a breath "But I think she's just old."
I laugh slightly, how refreshing "Hello Elizabeth. Tell your mom thank you for the water" I lift the bottle
"Well it's not like you can keep it, we kind of need the bottle back she's only just lending you the water if you know what I mean."
"Oh certainly, I will be swift then, I won't keep you" taking another gulp, I try to savor the moment, the rest, the water.
"Say, what's that?" she points at my mothers urn, it takes me by surprise and for the first time I begin to think of how to explain her request.
"This?" I lift up the urn "Is my mother, she died last year"
"I'm so sorry" her voice turns soft and empathetic "what happened to her?"
"She was 'just old'" I try not to mock her reference.
"Did you always look like this?"
I had been asked so often and yet the honesty in her eyes somehow I am not offended "NO" I answer honestly shaking my head "I was once very young and happy, I think that helped"
"What happened?"
I think about my story, about Maike, Johanna, about her life. How I could have changed, how I have allowed this to become my life. "I don't know…I can not answer that"
"My mom says you are a lost soul" saddened eyes " I'm big too"
"Oh, don't cry." I place the urn between my enormous thighs and reach a hand toward her. She falls into me something I never imagined.
My first impulse is to shed myself of her. I know she needs me, but why? I rub her back gently. A bright flash comes from the dispensed crowd, they all look on, and some have begun to photograph us. I place a hand on her hair and shush her. I wonder what kind of mother would leave her child like this?
"Your mother seems like a very smart and caring woman. She is only trying to help… but look at me Elizabeth," I turn her head to see my face, she is wet with perspiration and emotion "I don't know you right?"
"And you don't know me."
"I do now!" her eyes hopeful
"Only what I have told you, and you have told me" who am I convincing this girl in my arms or myself? "But you think we are the same. You think you will become like me. Listen." I hold her face gently "Even if I am 'a lost soul' and I probably am" I scoff "It is not something that has anything to do with you, you have a brightness, definitely a soul."
"How can you know?"
I grab the urn and lift myself out of the bench "Will you walk with me?"
"OK" effortlessly she jumps off the bench and grabs my hand.
I feel lighter knowing she is with me. The stares are irrelevant. For a while we walked together in silence.
"Did you cry when she died? Do you miss her?"
"Very much so"
"Was she a smart caring woman, did she only want what was best for you?"
"Yes, but I was a very strong man and I did not let her." I haven't thought about that night since it began.
"Where are we going?"
"My mother had a dream about a shining valley, a bright light that will burn away the sins... She told me to come here."
"The Crescent?"
"The park" I point straight up the hill.
"Up there? the park ends, it's only a parking lot."
"Whether it is the place she dreamed of, or as you say. I know why I am here" She leans her head toward my solid arm, a simple gesture and what may be my own end.

Stocks continued to struggle Thursday , with retailers leading and tech sectors hobbled by industry news.
The Dow Jones industrial average pushed to a 0.4% gain. The S&P 500 also rose 0.4%. The Nasdaq hovered less than 0.1% above break-even. Nasdaq volume cooled, but remained 8% higher than Wednesday's action. NYSE volume was down 11%.
A strong performance Wednesday lifted the stock market back into confirmed uptrend status. Near midday Thursday, the Nasdaq was leaning toward a 3% gain so far this week. The S&P 500 was up 2.5% and the Dow held a 1.9 gain. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 were pressing further into fresh highs.
Retail groups posted many of the morning's best gains among industries, after a 1.5% rise in March same-store-sales met industry expectations. Beach wear retailer Zumiez (ZUMZ) soared 16%. Discount chain Ross Stores (ROST) jumped 7%.
On the IBD 50 list, Proto Labs (PRLB) rattled off a 5% gain, moving to a new high in very heavy trade. The prototype producer cleared an early buy point of 49.78 with an 11% gain Wednesday. It is now 11% above that buy point.
Grifols (GRFS) bounced off its 50-day moving average with a 4% rise in strong action. That put the Spain-based provider of blood and plasma-related products in buying range on a rebound.
On the downside, hard drive makers Seagate Technology (STX) and Western Digital (WDC) — both IBD 50 stocks — slipped 4% and 3%, respectively. The two appeared hit by an IDC report on a 14% drop in Q1 PC sales. The report had triggered a sharp sell-off among PC-related technology stocks, led by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Microsoft (MSFT).

How to Get Party Perfect Hair
Rebecca D'Souza
26 Dec 2014
With the holiday season here, we're sure that you are going to be pretty occupied with endless parties and celebrations with limited or no time for your hair. But don't you worry because we've got your back. Here's a quick guide of hair care tips on how to get your hair looking perfect for the party.
About 2 or 3 hours before the party
Take a good shower. Wash your hair and make sure you condition it well. When you're done, follow this handy hair care tip - rinse your hair with a quick blast of cold water to make it soft and shiny. Yes, it's cold, so wrap up your hair in a warm towel immediately.
Next, it's all about the styling
Air-dry your hair partially and put on rollers (for beachy waves), or buns (for messy curls). Wrap a scarf or bandana around your hair for even distribution of heat. Blow-dry till it's slightly damp and air-dry the rest of the hair. Take hair out of rollers/braids/buns, shake, and finger-comb to FDabuer set it.
After air-drying your hair, straighten it, bringing it from root to tip on 2-inch sections of hair. Repeat until all hair has gone through the straightener and make any finishing touches if required. Brush your hair from root to tip, following your brush with the blow dryer. Continue till your hair is slightly damp and let it air-dry the rest of the way.
Au Natural:
Comb your wet hair into place with a wide-toothed comb, parting your hair the way you like it. Let it air-dry the rest of the way.
Maintain the styling
You've got your hair perfectly done, but now the question is how to make it stay the same throughout the party? Here's the solution - use a good hair spray or gel through your hair. But be careful not to overuse the spray/gel. Got your hair feeling light and unsettled? Just rub a tad of
Dabur Almond Hair Oil
between your hands and softly apply it to the problem areas, avoiding roots and tips. Be careful not to overuse or rub it into roots or tips. The oil is light and non-sticky! Does your hair still feel uneven? Then this
hair care tip
will help – smoothen it with some hair spray or gel, or clip it to the side. You can use a cute clip that goes with your outfit.
Ready. Set. Go.
Now you're all set to set the party on fire with that gorgeous looking hair. Do tell us how your hair looked and if you got many compliments!

Mitsubishi car, truck, or SUV owners have become used to a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their Cordia around town. Car aficionados appreciate the dependability built into each Mitsubishi, and know that only the highest quality replacement Cordia parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. You purchased your Cordia because its a variety of features and options and long-lasting quality struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace.
Using hydraulic pressure to accomplish a task is a millennia old feat of engineering. Your Mitsubishi Cordia has a brake master cylinder that creates a large amount of pressure for your braking system inside a very small space. This part compresses fluid inside the cylinder and sends it to your calipers and/or wheel cylinders. That is where the braking force from your Mitsubishi Cordia brake master cylinder is applied; as the calipers and wheel cylinders create the necessary friction so you can regain control of your automobile when necessary.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Mitsubishi Cordia part for your needs. Don't let a broken Brake Master Cylinder bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Ordering new Mitsubishi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Cordia parts on the internet. When it comes to Mitsubishi Cordia Brake Master Cylinder parts, you can find them for 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Herbert Smith has claimed success for its client United Gas in a court battle with National Power over a controversial "take-or-pay" gas contract.
Under the three-year deal, of a type common to the North Sea gas industry, United Gas agreed to pay National Power a specified amount each year for gas delivery, whether or not it takes the gas.
But at one point, National Power, instead of supplying a fixed volume of gas to United Gas from its own resources, substituted gas it bought on the spot market. On this market, gas is traded in therms, a calorific value, rather than in a specified volume.
United Gas argued that it could not tell what volume it had received and therefore served notice to terminate the contract in May last year.
National Power initially won a summary judgment against United Gas and United Gas had to pay National Power £6m in October 1995. United Gas appealed and the Court of Appeal has now ruled that the issue is triable and, pending the result of the trial, which will probably take place next year, National Power has had to pay back £4m of the £6m.
Ted Greeno, Herbert Smith litigation partner, said: "More significantly for the North Sea gas industry, the Court of Appeal ruling confirms that gas suppliers under take-or-pay contracts cannot substitute supplies from the spot market."
But Louise Thomson, in-house lawyer for National Power, said: "None of the issues have been decided by the court. We are confident that we kept to the terms of the agreement and the issue will have to be examined in the trial."
National Power was represented by Denton Hall.

Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, MO
Inhaled hypertonic saline (HS) as adjunctive therapy for airway clearance in cystic fibrosis (CF) improves overall lung function, notably the FEV1. Less well studied is its role in decreasing the number of clinical exacerbations. We aim to study the efficacy of inhaled HS in decreasing the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations in CF lung disease, and also assess the impact of demographic and clinical variables on its therapeutic effect.
We retrospectively reviewed a cohort of patients over the last 3 years at an accredited academic CF care center using the Port CF© database. All patients were using nebulized dornase alpha and an oscillatory compression device for mucociliary clearance. Episodes of pulmonary exacerbations and utilization of inhaled HS were identified. Using Chi-Square testing, the Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio was calculated to assess the likelihood of pulmonary exacerbations when using HS. Univariate analysis using independent t-testing as well as logistic regression were performed to measure the coexistent effects of age, gender, body mass index(BMI) and FEV1% predicted.
We identified 340 clinical care episodes, with a median patient age of 26±11 years; 65% were male. 276 episodes were due to pulmonary exacerbations; 62 episodes were in patients using inhaled HS. The odds ratio of developing a pulmonary exacerbation when using HS was 0.27 (C.I. 0.14–0.49, p<0.001). The number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent one clinical exacerbation was 5. Patients with higher FEV1% predicted (Mean FEV1% 74±4 vs. 66±12, p=0.003) and lower BMI (Mean BMI 24±6 vs. 30±9, p=0.006) responded better to HS, while age and gender had no significant correlation.
In our study, inhaled HS significantly decreased the number of pulmonary exacerbations. Patients with milder lung disease demonstrated a better therapeutic response to HS as opposed to those with more severe lung disease. Patients with a lower BMI also showed greater benefit.
Inhaled HS remains a valuable adjunctive therapy to decrease the number of pulmonary exacerbations in CF lung disease, especially in patients with lower severity of lung disease.

@ctracyverizonLocale: Mid-Alantic
I have been pondering this for some time and if it was three yards it would be an easy tarp, but two yards is all I got.
I don't need any rain gear.
I might do this with an additional 2.5 yards of white cuban.
It would measure about 8'5" in front x about 9' length x 6' rear.
Lot more taping but I have plenty of tape and black cuben for the tie out points.
I could also go for a bivy.
Thoughts –
@gregpehrsonLocale: playa del caballo blanco
Make matching backpacks for you and your hiking partner. 1yard each. John Roan has instructions here: http://www.mountainultralight.com/2011/09/make-your-own-cuben-fiber-backpack.html?m=1
@kbabioneLocale: Pennsylvania
What do you use for a shelter? It is too small for a standalone tarp, but you could make one heck of a nice porch for your shelter with it.
I have a MLD Monk Tarp in cuben that, if I'm expecting a very rainy outing when I'm taking my Gatewood Cape, I bring along and turn it into a front porch for the Gatewood.
Having a porch like that makes cooking in the rain with a minimalist shelter much nicer.
@rdalyLocale: outdoors amap
How thick is it? It would make a unique backpack. You don't see too many yellow cuben baqckpacks.
@ctracyverizonLocale: Mid-Alantic
It's the .74 oz. so it could be flooring for a net tent or a bivy OR a backpack.
I have a cuben Zimmerbuilt pack though and it fits all my needs.
I have a UL Bivy and I don't use it much.
I could make a bivy/bug net.
I have been playing with some ideas of combining the two.

Seemed that I was always chasing him for answers and updates. Made promises he didn't keep. Didn't respond to my phone calls. Had to get another attorney to complete my legal issues.
Posted by Paul
On January 21, 2010 I was arrested for child abuse when I got into an argument with my baby's mother, while she was holding our child. She claimed that I hit her and since she was holding our baby the police came and arrested me for Child Abuse and Domestic Battery. Upon the recommendation of a former client, I immediately hired John Riordan. John immediately sent a letter to the State Attorney advising that under Florida Law the State could not support charges of Child Abuse. The State had no choice but to drop the felony charge and "No Filed" the Child Abuse charge and moved forward on the misdemeanor Domestic Battery. For over a year this case was fought hard and aggressive and ultimately, we were able to get the Domestic Battery charges dropped too.
Posted by Patrick
I have used John for several issues over the last few years. Most recently John handled a civil lawsuit in Federal Court for my company. He skillfully negotiated a settlement that resolved the suit and saved my company.
Posted by ricky
He was very helpful kept me informed throughout the whole process and was always respectful
Posted by Janus
John Riordan is the attorney I turn to first for all of my legal needs. If he feels that the issue at hand could be better handled by another attorney, he will be honest and forthcoming and give a possible recommendation. I trust him to have my best interests in mind.
Posted by Gretchen
John handled my divorce for me several years ago and he was exceptional. He communicated with me every step of the way. He was patient and explained things to me no matter how many times I asked the same question. He was knowledgeable about the law and ensured that my best interests were looked out for. John helped make the worst experience of my life a little more bearable. Since my divorce he has handled several other issues for me as well. Regardless of the issue, John did not judge me, he simply did his job exceptionally. I cannot say enough good things about John. I have an attorney for life.
Posted by Jennifer
Earlier this year I was arrested for a new charge while on probation for another charge. He always returned my calls and knew exactly how to handle my cases in the best way for me. I would recommend John to anyone who needs a criminal lawyer in Florida.
Posted by Ann
John knew what had to be done and did it. He kept me even more informed than was required. His personality, humor, and intelligence, along with his understanding of people made him very easy to work with.

The actor revealed he has stopped drinking and sees a therapist.
Read Whole Story
The former couple released a joint statement about their acrimonious divorce.
"The FBI has conducted a review of the circumstances and will not pursue further investigation."
It's his first major public appearance since the divorce news broke.
The source said the investigation only lasted a few days.
Whether he gets it depends on an investigation into child abuse.
But what about the rosé??
The actor cancelled his first appearance since the divorce news.
"That's horrible."
"There was a parent-child argument which was not handled in the right way and escalated more than it should have."
What's confirmed and what's not.
"People carry on and people do what they do."
Since the incident occurred in the air, the case falls under FBI jurisdiction.

- An impassioned and invaluable guide for actors and students of musical theatre. In Acting Through Song, Paul Harvard takes the techniques of modern actor training - including the theories of Stanislavsky, Brecht, Meisner and Laban, amongst others - and applies them to the fundamental component of musical theatre: singing. With dozens of exercises to put these theories into practice, and numerous examples from a broad range of musicals, the result is a comprehensive and rigorous acting course for those training in musical theatre or already performing, whether amateur or professional, to realise their potential - and act better. 'The most methodical, thorough and practical book on the subject that I've ever read.' Daniel Evans, from his Foreword 'If you want to maximise your potential in this tough profession, this is not just a must-read - it's your bible.' Stuart Barr.

// PubNub
We wanted to extend the power of WebRTC to mobile, and in this tutorial, we show you how to build a native video and voice Android WebRTC application. Good news is, just released our new Android WebRTC signaling API, enabling you to build cross-platform web and mobile WebRTC applications.
And along with the API release, our tutorial Building an Android WebRTC Video Chat App on Realtime Weekly, a full code walkthrough on building a mobile chat app. In essence, we'll build Skype for Android.
In specific, the tutorial covers:
- Signaling to establish call connection
- Building the mobile UI
- Receiving incoming calls
- Realtime 'buddy list' of available call recipients
- In-app text messaging
Cross-platform WebRTC Video Chat
WebRTC is already a flexible, lightweight API for web-based communication, so when combined with our new Android SDK, you have the makings for a powerful communication app for web and mobile users alike.
Head over to our web demo and send and receive calls to the Android application. Open it up in two browsers, and check out the realtime signaling in-action.

Dark Child
"Then why don't you run? Why do you let him have more power over you?"
"He won't let me."
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
May God protect us all
"Don't go near him, Yvaine!" Evan flipped a couple hairs from his eyes. "He's dangerous!"
"I know."
"Then why don't you run? Why do you let him have more power over you?"
Yvaine looked at him sorrowfully. Her black dress made her skin look paler than it already was. Dark brown hair was pushed away from her face and when she spoke again sharp canine teeth poked out. They had been sharpened. "We shouldn't be talking about him." She turned as if to leave, but a pull from Evan stopped her.
"But... why?"
"He won't let me."

Hi, I'm Jay Versluis – I run this site. It's a personal notebook about iOS Development, much like my other website which serves that function for WordPress and web hosting related things.
I've been writing iOS Apps since 2011 – you can check them out here.
I wanted to develop for iOS devices ever since I bought my first iPad back in 2011, followed by investing into a MacBook Pro in June 2011 just so that I could do it. Before then I was a PC Person. Since I've been using Mac OS X and iOS, I've not looked at a PC (other than virtual instances).
Putting my "Hello World" app together wasn't easy, neither was expanding it with several other options. Back then iOS 5 was just around the corner, Xcode 3 had just been replaced with Xcode 4, and every point release added another obstacle to the journey. Documentation was forever outdated as publishers couldn't keep up.
Objective-C is complex enough as it is without such problems, not to mention profile shenanigans for your devices. I felt I kept forgetting a lot of stuff that I had just learnt and needed a place to take notes – like I do with other projects so I have a compendium to consult for future reference. Hence this development diary for easy online access so I can jot down things wherever I am (which is usually behind one of several keyboards).
This site wasn't really meant for public consumption, but I'm really happy to see that helps countless others: it now has over 15.000 hits per month and counting. Which is why I needed to invest into better infrastructure to cope with the demand.
Please help me pay for it by becoming a member for a nominal fee – it'll help me feed the server and encourage me to keep going with this project.
If you have any questions about the site, have a read through the Frequently Asked Questions. It also has a Contact Form if you want to ask a question.
Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Hacking!
Other Projects from the same mind:
- Pinkstone Pictures – Support Website for my iOS Apps
- WP Hosting – a boutique style managed WordPress Hosting Service
- The WP Guru – tips and tricks about WordPress, Linux, PHP, CSS, Plesk and Web Hosting (much like this one)
- YouTube Channel featuring plenty of free screencasts and tutorials

Of course that would just mean adding one more parameter to the FileTypeInfo struct, but I thought it's not magic then. However, I checked that and you're right, I was wrong, because according to magic(5) it can be anywhere. The magic file '/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc' also matches the signature, so I'm using that.

Outstanding versatility
Whether you're on a tight budget or you just prefer keeping your tackle selection as simple as possible, I think you'll fall in love with the Lew's Team HM85 Speed Stick Casting Rod. I've used it with crankbaits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, bladed swim jigs and Texas rigs and I can't get over how well it performs. It almost seems like it's tailor-made for each technique.
- Crankbaits—If you're a regular reader of Wired2Fish, you probably know by now that I'm a cranking fanatic. The large majority of money I've won can be attributed to a crankbait in some fashion. I'm super picky when it comes to my cranking rods and I've been very pleased with the HM85 Speed Stick Casting Rod. It loads very well on the back cast to allow for long casts, the line guides are spaced perfectly to reduce line slap and facilitate accurate casting, it loads excellently on the hookset and it's very sensitive. I can feel every move my crankbait makes and its tip is soft enough to ensure I don't rip the treble hooks out of the fish when setting the hook. When a big fish digs for deeper water, the powerful lower-half of the blank allows me to have full control for the entirety of the fight.
- Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits—They've been chewing spinnerbaits and buzzbaits on my home lakes recently, which has given me a great opportunity to test this rod with these techniques. I can constantly feel the spinnerbait blades thumping throughout my retrieve and this shorter 6-foot, 10-inch rod makes quiet roll casts a breeze. For buzzbait fishing, the HM85 Speed Stick Casting Rod gives the bass enough tip to increase your hookup ratio and it has plenty of backbone to wrench big fish out of vegetation and heavy wood cover.
- Bladed swim jigs—This rod will just about vibrate your arm off when fishing a bladed swim jig, but that's a good thing. By having the ability to keep constant contact with the bait, you're able to detect subtle bites, such as when the bass "push" the jig towards you. When the intense vibrating stops, you know you have a bite.
- Texas rigs—I've done a lot of flipping and pitching with this rod with weights ranging from 5/16-ounce to even 3/8-ounce and I've enjoyed a lot of success with it. I've been able to feel very subtle changes in bottom composition when searching for sandy spawning flats and bites have been very easy to detect. You can yank on 'em as hard as you need to because this rod has plenty of power for the job. Because it loads so nicely on the back cast, skipping my Texas rigs underneath docks has been extremely easy.
Built to last
I put my fishing rods through a bunch of crap—not literally, but you know what I'm saying. Constantly shoving them in my rod lockers, stepping on the eyes on my front deck when landing fish and riding them around in the back of my truck for evening pond adventures quickly shows me which rods are most durable. So far, the HM85 Speed Stick Casting Rod has passed with flying colors.
The line guides are firmly attached to the blank, which has eliminated my constant problems with bent eyes. When things get heated and I'm running around the boat landing a big fish, line guides are usually the first ones to break. With a bunch of rods lying on the deck, it's not hard to accidentally step on one. I've inadvertently stepped on these line guides several times over the past few months and I haven't bent one yet.
You'll find a lot of rods that snap, crackle and pop when they're under a heavy load. I can't count the times I've set the hook and heard my blank making awful noises. Whenever you rod becomes noisy, it's probably about to break. The HM85 Speed Stick Casting Rod Is extremely quiet when casting and fighting big fish. There's no "give" or "play" anywhere in it.
Some rods will wear you slap-out after fishing an entire weekend with them. I'm usually on the water for over 20 hours each weekend with tournaments and guide trips, so I need lightweight rods. Heavier rods will work for some folks but I avoid them like the plague.
The HM85 Speed Stick Casting Rod is very light and ergonomic, regardless of the application for which I'm using it. It's very well-balanced, which leads to a drastic reduction in annoying hand cramps over time. When you're pulling against a big squarebill for several straight days, ergonomic rods are always—and I repeat—always worth the money in my opinion.
I get a lot of questions regarding versatile, all-purpose rods and I believe this rod fits the bill very well. I've had success using this rod for several techniques and I really think you will too. This series is priced starting at $189.99 and I think it's worth saving the extra money and splurging a bit.

Ownership muddles solutions for abandoned homes in Indianapolis
Indianapolis has thousands of abandoned homes that often attract drug and criminal activity. It's a top concern of neighbors. So why can't more be done to fix or tear those houses down?
Eyewitness News asked the Michael Osborne, who heads the Near North Development Corporation to help explain.
Osborne referred to a 16-square-block area near the southern part of Crown Hill Cemetery where more than one-third of the homes are vacant. It's an area Near North is working hard to redevelop.
We saw three houses on Kenwood that are all vacant. But when you look past the boarded-up and broken windows, one of the homes doesn't look so bad, especially the inside.
"It might be a great opportunity if someone could get their hands on the property and someone was willing to invest in it," said Osborne.
But Osborne says there's one big obstacle.
"The challenge with a property like this is the convoluted ownership," he said.
As Osborne showed us, it was bought by an LLC in 2010 which dissolved three years later but is still shown as owning the property.
"It's an entity. You can't get a hold of a person you don't know," he said.
It did however, sell at tax sale "which means a new person has an interest in taking over the property but there's a one-year redemption period - so they can't do anything with it even if they wanted to for another year."
The longer the wait, the more the property falls into disrepair.
Records show the next house on Kenwood is owned by the woman who lives here. But that's not accurate. In fact the woman hasn't owned the home for at least four years. Osborne says she walked away from her mortgage.
"A lender will foreclose, get the legal judgement to foreclose but then actually take title to the property, so again, you've got a property that's owned by no one, essentially," said Osborne.
That makes it hard for organizations like Near North to acquire and renovate them. Plus, it sits next to some $80,000 and $90,000 homes they're developing.
Osborne says the third house has been vacant for six years. It's owned by a Connecticut woman, who until recently had kept up on her taxes and sewer bills.

"Despite the condition, there's not much anyone can do if the owner doesn't want to renovate or sell it," said Osborne.
So it remains an eyesore, across from five brand new houses, until it's sold or goes to tax sale.
