Starting issues????
2003 SVT Focus
77xxx miles, new battery last month, new fuel filter maybe 6K miles ago...
So - the last couple of months the Focus has had a starting issue from time to time. Sometimes she will turn over and run for a second then die and other times she just cranks but no fire. In the past I would check a few things or maybe disconnect the battery or just give her some time and she would fire up and be fine for a few weeks - but not today, had to leave her in the parking lot at the gym :( Turns over like a Champ but today just seems/sounds like no fuel is being sent at this point??? The SVT Focus fuel pump is pretty high volume and you can hear it kick on a send fuel before you try and turn her over (that is, when it is working)...
Is there a diagnostic tool that can maybe give me some direction???
I'm wondering if maybe the main fuse (not the blue 15amp, but the bigger box one) is going out, but really no idea how to tell if those are bad?
Maybe a relay? or bad wire or ground?
or Maybe the fuel pump is going out ... but would guess those things last longer then 77K miles
Any suggestions or ideas??
Thanks for the help - Tim

This is awesome. I saw this shirt in the revolution derby, and I was very disappointed that it did not place. Hopefully it will place this time though with the early entry.

Bananas are like traffic lights, only the exact opposite. When a banana is yellow you go, when a traffic light is yellow you wait. When a banana is green you wait, when a traffic light is green you go.
However, if your banana is red you should probably treat it like a traffic light and stop.

Maytag laundrymodel #MAVT236AWW
Questions & Answers about this model powered by
washing machine making a loud, grinding noise
Sears recommended that I email you. Maytag Washer MAVT236AWW- this machine makes a loud, grinding noise when it spins. I was told that it needs a "clutch". Can you tell me where this clutch is and how much it is. This machine is 5 years old and gets used every two weeks, medium loads. I'm trying to determine whether it is worth it to fix it.
Posted November 28, 2011

Landell , November 30, 2011
hi frances,
thank you for submitting a question to manage my life.
this washer does not have a clutch. the noise you are hearing is most likely coming from the brake. the repair is difficult and requires a special tool that is about $80. the brake assembly has a compressive spring force of approximately 200 pounds. this can cause bodily injury. i highly recommend having a trained service technician evaluate this problem. you can have it repaired at your home by a sears technician. here is a link for the website: sears home services .
if you would like to perform this repair yourself, i will send the documents you need in a pdf file.
if you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired at your home by a sears technician. here is a link for the website: sears home services .

Ladies Night Gaffe
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The owner of a St. Petersburg bar has apologized for refusing to serve free drinks to a transgender woman, who eventually left Bishop Tavern and Lounge after a heated dispute ensued.
The Tampa Bay Times reports Alex Borrego and one of her friends - a drag queen - were invited by a bouncer to partake in the bar's weekly "ladies night" promotion on Thursday. As they drank vodka and cranberry juice another bouncer told them they couldn't participate because "you're dudes."
Borrego's driver's license lists her gender as female, but the bouncer was unrelenting.
Bar owner Dean Marshlack apologized to Borrego and her friend on Friday. He told the newspaper he plans to talk with his staff to ensure that transgender people will be treated with respect.

Are Goose of Canada Innocent
It is a tradition for America and Canada to love and protect wild animals. In the United States, a lot of Canada geese have been killed in recent days. It can be accounted that Canada goose posed a threat to the civilian airline.
People's Daily Online reported that many American and Canadian residents have been known as the "love and protect wild animals" tradition. But the government department will not be "relentless" to wild animals, which will do harm to human safety. An American Airlines' passenger plane, at the beginning of 2009, was hit by Canada goose and had no driving force to move. By virtue of the excellent technology of the pilot; there was a successful crash landing on Hudson River of New York at last.
Among them, "Canada goose" that lives near the airport has become the Department of Agriculture in America law enforcement personnel's key hunt target. Civilian airliners take off and land frequently, so it aims at avoid posing a threat. The so-called "Canada goose" actually is a kind of wild bird, which is similar to wild goose. Near the shore of rivers and lakes in Canada and the North United States; they have their life and reproduction. Human beings can not frighten this sort of animal.
This sort of animal particularly likes to live near park and airport. They are not just going to threaten airplanes of civilian. In addition, they also will leave plenty of feces on land, and it is the main culprit of infecting some diseases. In normal conditions, Canada goose will built their nests on land near the water. On the one hand, they can use body behaviors to communicate with each other, and on the other hand, they can make more than ten different voices.
An agreement was reached by the United States' department for animal protection at last. They will take the catch-and-kill measure to reduce the harm to the civilian airliner from Canada goose and other birds. It was reported that last year, the total number of 14000 Canada goose has been "executed" inside the United States. Some animal protection activists said that a more "humanitarian" way should be taken to deal with these "lovely and big wild birds". For instance, they can expel them to be far away from their habitat nears the airport with the help of hound dogs.
The Canadian government also held the opinion that the behavior of the United States' agriculture department was "cruel". Canada goose, at the beginning of the last century, was under the condition of extinction. At present, however, there is deep protection concept in the heart of people. Nowadays, millions of Canada geese live in the United States. They become the "frequent caller" of many city communities. Some people for environmental protection said, killing Canada goose may let other species get a chance to step in. The human environment is going to suffer from more threats in this way.

Who is he? New male peregrine at Univ of Pittsburgh
On February 17th I was startled by a photo from the University of Pittsburgh falconcam. In it the leg bands on the male peregrine were not the same color as those on Erie, the resident male since 2002. If this was indeed true it meant that Erie was gone, replaced by another male peregrine.
Rather than jump to a conclusion without more evidence I decided to investigate, comparing new webcam photos to prior years and searching for evidence of band colors. Band numbers are impossible to read on the webcam because over-the-web images are such low resolution.
Over a period of 6 weeks I examined more than 4,500 photos. Eventually I couldn't ignore what I was seeing. This is indeed a new male. Since we don't know his name yet, my friend Karen and I have nicknamed him Erie2 or "E2" for short.
Here's how I decided this bird isn't Erie.
Way back in 2002 we identified Erie by a digital photo which clearly showed his band numbers. Shown at left are Erie's leg bands: his right leg pink, his left leg black/red T*/W.
At right for comparison is the February 17th photo of E2's bands: his right leg is silver, his left leg black/green.
Could these be Dorothy's bands? No, her right leg is pink – not silver – though her left leg is black/green. Besides, the original photo had both birds in it and after looking at thousands of photos I can tell who is who. And further, neither bird ever shows black/red bands so neither of them is Erie.
I also compared their physical appearance. Erie always had a marked color contrast between his back and tail.
Here are two courtship photos with the males in similar poses. On the left Erie (pale back with dark wing tips and tail) is leaving the nest last year after bowing to Dorothy. This was 6 days after he won the territory battle. On the right E2 is leaving the nest this spring. E2 is uniformly gray with much less contrast.
The difference in appearance is also noticeable when the males incubate the eggs.
Again, Erie is on the left in a 2005 photo showing a strong color contrast between back and tail. E2 on the right has much less contrast.
When did E2 arrive? Was there a fight?
Karen and I and Dr. Tony Bledsoe have compared our observations. As far as we can tell there was no fight because Erie disappeared before E2 arrived. We think Erie disappeared in October. There was a long period when we saw only Dorothy at Pitt. Then in mid-to-late November we saw several things that we now realize meant a new peregrine was taking over:
- Dorothy and E2 did lots of courtship flying in late November and early December, something that never happened at that time of year between Dorothy and Erie. January was Erie's normal time for courtship.
- In November, December and January, E2 repeatedly attacked the red-tailed hawks at Central Catholic. Erie never cared about those red-tails unless they came to campus.
- E2 doesn't perch in Erie's favorite places on the 32nd and 28th floors. This is a minor point but it adds up.
Though my friend Karen and I grieved a bit for Erie, life goes on.
Dorothy is happy with E2. They have 4 eggs to incubate and he's helping with incubation more than Erie did in recent years. So who are we to complain?
Now if we could just read his bands!

Great detective work, Kate et al. A very interesting tale. 😉 Poor Erie — but as you write, life goes on. Do you suppose you'll find out what happened to him? (as you did last year with the loser of the battle.) And if E2 performs more husbandly duties than Erie did, so much the better. Dorothy needs to be relieved from that boring task.
# Alice Cottoneon 03 Apr 2008 at 11:30 am
Oh my, now I will wait to hear where E2 is from!!!
# Maureenon 03 Apr 2008 at 6:11 pm
That was some great detective work! I have enjoyed watching the nest activity on the internet for the last 3 years. I am ashamed to say that I work in Oakland and have never seen the falcons. My office even looks out at the Cathedral. Do they hunt for pigeons in the Oakland area? I have seen red tailed hawks numerous times. Is there a certain time or location that they like to hang out where they could be spotted? Do you think you will get a look at the new birds bands when the new falcons are banded? Okay, I've asked enough questions! Thank you for keeping us all informed and interested.
# Jim Valimonton 03 Apr 2008 at 8:07 pm
Great observation, Kate! Hope that we learn who the new male is soon. Great blog!
# Shannon Platton 04 Apr 2008 at 9:16 am
Great detective work! Like the others, I can't wait to hear his history.
Maureen asked several questions which I'll answer here:
>Do they hunt for pigeons in Oakland?
You bet!
>Is there a certain time or location where they could be spotted?
Yes, at the top of the Cathedral of Learning…but you'll need binoculars to see them.
>Do you think you will get a look at the new birds bands when the new falcons are banded?
I certainly hope so but the male peregrines tend to stay back from all the banding action. They strafe the banders – fly by – and don't tend to perch and fight. The mother birds are the ones who perch close to protect their young.
p.s. The news of E2 made it to the Associated Press!
# Laurelon 04 Apr 2008 at 5:33 pm
Is there a site where I can watch the progress of E2 and family?
# Maureenon 04 Apr 2008 at 5:44 pm
Thanks for all the answers. I will bring my binoculars and drag some co-workers along and we will get a look. Hopefully the mystery of the new male will be solved.
Laurel, Oops! I forgot to add the link to the article. It's at the bottom now. Also, you can see both Pitt and Gulf Tower peregrine nests at the National Aviary website: http://www.aviary.org
# Dougon 05 Apr 2008 at 9:52 pm
I just read about E2 in the Post-Gazette this evening, and wanted to let you know I spotted a peregrine earlier this evening. I was waxing my car around 7:30 (love this nice weather with light in the eveings!) and saw a large bird land in a nearby tree. It looked to be a little bigger than a crow. I could not really tell what it was, being no expert, and with fading light, but I could see it had a white front and a smaller beak than a crow. After seeing the pictures in the paper, I'm pretty sure it was a peregrine, perhaps Erie?
I live in New Kensington, about 20 miles up the Allegheny. I've never seen a peregrine around here before, and I don't know if there are others in the area.
# Nateon 07 Apr 2008 at 11:47 am
Well I hope we can come up with a name…… E2 is nice for your research purposes, but I think a more public name would be a good decision.
When we're able to read his bands I think we will find that he was named when he was banded. At that point we'll know his real name and begin to call him that instead of "E2."
# Pat Kon 09 Apr 2008 at 3:19 pm
Could Erie be downtown????Who is downtown now???
Erie couldn't be downtown. The resident male peregrine at Gulf Tower is actually his son. Erie wouldn't have taken a territory away from his son when he had his own territory at Pitt.
# Adamon 15 Apr 2008 at 11:38 pm
Is their nest on the cathedral the box in the photos? If so, why don't they have a nest that they made? Did they ever? Which came first, their residence on the CL or the nest box? Is the nest on top of gulf tower also a box? Thanks.
Yes, the nests on the Cathedral of Learning and at Gulf Tower are located in the boxes you see on camera. The actual nest is merely the gravel depression that the birds lay the eggs in. They really don't need a box. They just need deep gravel and they prefer an overhang to keep the rain off.
At both sites, the peregrines arrived before a nest box existed. The first year at Pitt (2001), Dorothy and Erie attempted to nest somewhere on the building but the attempt failed. This was probably because there was no gravel to cushion the eggs, so the eggs did not survive incubation.
At both sites, nest boxes were erected after the peregrines arrived so their nests would be successful. Peregrines can and do choose to nest on structures (buildings & bridges). Sometimes the structures have gravel already but when they don't people give the birds a helping hand.
# Barbara C. Simonon 16 Apr 2008 at 11:03 am
I have seen Peregrines in 2 places in the last few years. I saw a peregrine standing on a rock in the Ohio River where the Chartiers Creek flows into it and has created a sort of sand bar. Also, on the hill above Station Square, where the Wabash Tunnel goes into the hill, there is a railing above the opening. I have seen the peregrine perched on that railing and just posing there for quite a long pose. it was a wonderful siting. I don't have the dates of these sightings, but they were in the last few years and during warm weather.
Also, there is a Redtailed hawk nest at Bloomfield. The hawks built the nest around Easter time. A friend whose house has a direct view of the nest described to me that the male brought all the sticks and the female spent all day arranging them. This was approximately on Good Friday-March 21? I have only seen her once in the nest, but the nest is large and my friend says that the female never leaves the nest, but that she hunkers down inside the nest so that I, looking from a distance, just haven't been able to see her, but that she has been in there all along, while the father bird brings her all her food. My friend is home all day with her children and has been watching from her kitchen window every day. This is a real thrill for me and I hope to see the fledgling birds sometime soon.
Happy bird watching!
# Barbara C. Simonon 28 Apr 2008 at 3:48 pm

To me the easiest way to tell is that E2 is smaller (you have use something to compare, literally hold a ruler on your computer screen) and E2's beak is yellower all the way down to a very small area of black at the tip. Other than that it's really hard.

Kate–I don't think this picture will transfer properly. I have a mac and can't right-click or properly follow your instructions, but I sure got a good picture of the 2 birds yesterday together . If you send me your e-mail I can probably successfully send it to you. It looks to me like one of the birds has a blacker tail and the other one, well, the area across her shoulders that is dark, is wider than on the other bird. It seems to me that the bird with the darker tail is the male and the one with the wider dark on the shoulders is Dorothy but I really don't know…….Barb Simon

Egg number 1 hatched right at 10:40 a.m. Today – April 30, 2008. Dorothy had the egg in front her, she was looking at it, then I think she hit it with her beak, because all of a sudden there were two halves of shells , one on her right and one on her left. Then both parents were in the nest together, then Dorothy got back on top of the eggs and new chick. I didn't see the chick, but caught a glimpse of some white under her as she was turning around….Barb Simon

I enjoy checking into this site to check on the progress of the birds. I am a Pgh. native now living in Rochester, NY. "Your" birds are several weeks ahead of Mariah and Kaver, the peregrines that have a nest box on Kodak Office near the Genesee River. There is a web site as well. http://rfalconcam.com Check it out as it includes Rochester peregrine history complete with a family tree of Mariah, information about peregrines in general, photos of our falcons and reports with links of past fledglings that have been spotted in Canada and Detroit. As the new eggs hatch and the eyases try their wings there will be more photos of them out and about.
Where are the 3 chicks that recently hatched?
If you happened to see only an adult peregrine falcon when you looked at the Pitt camera, it's because the babies were under the adult staying warm. Peregrine chicks cannot regulate their body temperature until they are 7-8 days old so their parents "brood" them. When the adult bird is brooding chicks, it looks a lot like incubation.

So can someone tell me whats up with the 4th egg. Will it ever hatch? Also there are still two eggs at other nest not hatched. Thanks.
The 4th egg won't hatch, nor will the two unhatched eggs at Gulf Tower.
For more information, see my other peregrine blogs about the eggs and chicks, plus pictures and comments at:
# Paulon 08 May 2008 at 7:22 pm
Thanks for the the info. I find myself spending a lot of time watching, at home and even at work.
# Holly A Cranmeron 08 May 2008 at 9:32 pm
Just let me say that I am waiting to see a parent return to the Gulf Tower site before I can retire for the evening….it is 9:20 EST….as I have periodically checked during the day, the Cathedral site baby falcons seem to have more parental attention….what is going on with the Gulf Tower….a single parent now working overtime to feed them?….I noticed your added commentary today about both parents leaving the chicks alone, while hunting…..still concerns me that the tending seems disproportionate….Thank you for this enchanting website!
Don't worry! The parents are there. They're just out of camera view.
After peregrine chicks are about a week old they are able to regulate their body temperature so their parents don't have to keep them warm. In addition, the chicks become a little more independent, can hold their heads up and begin walking around.
The chicks at Gulf Tower have reached that point. Their parents are out hunting for food or perched near the nest watching their kids – but out of camera view. The camera view is SMALL compared to the size of the area!
At Pitt the chicks are 10 days younger so the parents are visible more often. Soon you will see less of the parents at Pitt too.
So, don't worry. Just as our infants go from being helpless to walking, talking and then off to school, these baby birds are growing up. We give our children more independence as they grow up, at first watching them from across the room, then from across the ball field (Little League!). Peregrine parents do the same.

Did something happen at the CL nest site? What are all the dark feathers in the nest? Did something attack? When will the chicks be banded?
I have forwarded the site to others and you have people watching from across the country. Teachers have put the sites up side by side so their students can check in throughout the day. Thanks to all there for the hard work and information. We love it!!
Nothing bad happened at the CL nest site. Dorothy and E2 have been feeding pigeons and other birds to their chicks. Sometimes Dorothy is in such a rush that she doesn't remove the prey's feathers until she's actually feeding the chicks. When that happens, the nest gets messy. It looks like the kids had a dark pigeon or perhaps a grackle for dinner.
Dorothy's housekeeping habits are not what they could be. See:

Kate–3:04 Pm, May 18-I believe at least one of the babies at the Gulf Tower nest fledged a couple minutes ago. It disappeared as I was watching, had been standing next to the edge of the nesting box.
The Gulf Tower chicks are too young to fly – they don't have any flight feathers – so if one went off the edge of the building he/she would die. I can tell from the camera now (5/18/08 at 8:45pm) that they are both there.
Peregrine chicks stay on the nest platform until they are ready for first flight. This "safety feature" seems to be programmed into all of them. However, they do walk around a lot. The nest platform at Gulf is much bigger than the camera is able to show you. There is a ledge on the right that the chicks learn to hop up on (you can't see that ledge on the camera) and there is space behind the nest box and behind the camera. The abyss (straight drop to the street) is on the left.
The chicks won't experiment with that edge until they are fully feathered and look like the photo here:
# Barbara C. Simonon 28 May 2008 at 2:48 pm
The nest at the Gulf Tower is empty now. Can the little ones actually fly yet? I'm doubting it so I'm wondering where they are. Are they just on a lower shelf of the building or have they fallen to the ground? Will they return to the nest box after leaving it or the first time? I am aware that the parent birds stop at the nest box from time to time in the off season, but how about these little guys? Do they stop in for a rest? Will we see them again?…….Barb Simon
For the answer to this question and lots of peregrine news see this link. Fledging information is listed under the title: "Empty Nest?"
# Linda Stateson 06 Jun 2008 at 9:37 am
At the CL site one of the chicks is still at the nest. Does he not want to fly? it seems the mother is trying to coax him or her out but to no avail. Is the chick alright?
He's fine. He's been out of the nest before. He's just not ready to fly.
Historically the chicks from this nest usually fly at 38-41 days old. They're only 37 days told today. And, yes, his parents are urging him to get moving. They know their kids are safer when they can fly.
# Paulon 12 Jun 2008 at 6:33 pm
I will miss the little ones now that they are gone from the nest, its a sad but happy time. I will miss watching them, its like I didn't want them to leave but yet I knew they had to go out on their own. As with my little ones they too have flown the nest. I just hope they stay safe and grow up and have their own family some day.

New home buyers seek great rooms, spas
New home buyers are coming back, but they don't want the same old McMansion. They want a house they can use.
That means a "great room" where everyone can gather — and a spa-like bathroom to escape from the crowd.
But usefulness also extends to lots of storage space for big-box buys. It means "drop-off zones" for recharging smartphones and pet-friendly "puppy showers." It means a home office actually designed for work and media centers made for play. It means big closets and little nooks.
These new homes combine practicality with the way we want to live now, builders say.
"We're rolling out all new designs," said Jeff Lake, national head of architecture for major builder Standard Pacific Homes.
These designs are the culmination of a three-year process, Lake said. "We studied how people actually live in their homes. We found they're more connected than ever — and not just texting."
They want to feel connected to their family as well as to their media, Lake said. In some places, they also want to feel connected to the great outdoors with windows everywhere and patio rooms that look like their indoor counterparts.
According to experts, today's home buyers are much more budget conscious, a natural consequence of the recession. They demand more value per square foot. They're not interested in rooms they will rarely use, such as a formal dining room. Most of all, home buyers want a house that "works" for them.
"McMansions put a huge percentage (of square footage) into hallways and formal spaces that are used infrequently," Lake said. "It adds up to a lot of square footage."
A walk-through of new luxury home models in Rocklin, Calif., at Standard Pacific's Manzanita at Whitney Ranch illustrates his point. Priced at $454,000 to $504,000, each home featured a mammoth "great room" combining a large kitchen with family, dining and living room space into one very large area without halls.
Great rooms are the No. 1 requested feature among current new home buyers, real estate experts say. "Everybody ends up in the kitchen, so why not make room for them?" Lake said.
One kitchen/great room combo had a layout that could double as a small restaurant. The L-shaped area had space for three dining sets: one adjacent to the kitchen, another for more formal gatherings in the living area and a third near a media wall that could double as a game table. Separating the kitchen from the great room, a 14-foot island served as a buffet and breakfast bar. Every eating area could see the media wall, anchored by a 70-inch flat-screen TV.
Meant for entertaining, this great room can hold a crowd. At a recent community event, 75 people gathered in this space.
"And it still felt comfortable," said Danielle Tocco of Standard Pacific Homes. "It's the perfect kind of room for a large family."
New inventory and new designs can help lure buyers back into the market.
Alicia Eckman of Rocklin, Calif., recently toured the Manzanita models with her mother, Sylvia Vining.
"Builders are getting smarter," Eckman said.
Besides the great room, the women pointed to other thoughtful touches such as mud rooms (some with a dog-friendly shower to wash dirty paws) and "drop zones," located near the entrance doors and designed to encourage organization. "It gives you a place to drop your stuff right when you walk in," Eckman said.
"In my home, I have very little storage space," Eckman said. "Everything is in the garage. I liked the upstairs laundry room with the storage right there (near the bedrooms). How convenient! Boom, it's done!"
Other thoughtful highlights: a home office near the front door (convenient for deliveries) and state-of-the-art smart technology to keep the home running as efficiently as possible.
New homes have the space for everything, but it's a matter of how to use that space.
In 40 years, new homes have grown substantially nationwide.
The average new home is 44 percent larger than one built in 1973, according to real estate statistics. Back then, the average new house measured 1,660 square feet. In 2007, the national average hit 2,521.
Although construction came to a virtual standstill during the recession, home size slipped only slightly. The average new house still measures 2,480 square feet.
A mid-size home is now considered anything between 2,500 and 3,000 square feet. According to U.S. Census statistics, about 20 percent of new homes fall in that category. Almost 20 percent fit the 3,000- to 4,000-square-foot range. Another 7 percent top 4,000 square feet.
The most popular new home size — 1,800 to 2,400 square feet — accounts for 27 percent of new homes, but that also includes townhouses and other attached dwellings as well as single-family homes.
New homes also tend to feel like resort living, an outgrowth of "staycations." Next to the great room, the most requested amenity is a spa bathroom, Lake said.
That includes "the whole idea of a spa," he added, with such amenities as a soaking tub, steam shower, luxurious cabinetry and natural stone.
"People want huge showers — uber showers, car-wash showers," Lake said. "I haven't found a limit yet on a shower that's too big. Everybody wants a seat in the shower, too. It's another case of dedicating square footage where people use it every day."

Still listening to:
'Good Girl Gone Bad' By Rihanna
My sister loves meringues and as soon as she sees this I will get the call:
Sis: 'Mitaaaaaaaaa'
Me: 'Yeah you alright?'
Sis: 'No! When you coming home to make me this?'
Me: 'Christmas?'
Sis: 'Too long! why don't you make these things when you come down!?'
Me: 'Because I want you to bake me something'
Sis: 'Yeah right like that's going to happen - you know how it goes I make the tea you make the cake'
Me: 'Great, see you at Christmas.'
We are both strange but love tea and cake.
With only two egg whites this meringue is perfect for two people and is beautifully crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I couldn't help but tear it slowly with my hands and let it melt in my mouth. Sounds rather saucy and is perfect for a night in front of the fire...or in my case sitting against the radiator.
▶ Recipe
Preheat oven 200°c and line a small flat baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Preheat oven 200°c and line a small flat baking tray with greaseproof paper.
2 egg whites from 2 large eggs
50g caster sugar
50g cocoa powder
5 crushed raspberries
Chocolate Sauce
: Make sure the bowl is completely dry, moisture is meringues arch enemy.
: Whisk the egg whites until stiff and then whisk in the sugar.
: Sieve the cocoa powder in this mixture and fold in the raspberries.
: Spoon on the baking tray and make peaks with a fork or butter knife.
: Bake for 45 minutes until the exterior is completely hard.
: A meringue needs to dry out completely for the inside to be sticky.
Once ready to serve drizzle sauce and add raspberries, can be kept in a tight tub for 4 days.
A few meringue baking tips, sorry if this has been typed already:
1. NO water in the bowl = bye bye meringue.
2. All equipment should be squeaky clean no grease in sight.
3. Whisking for a long time is important, without air you won't have a meringue!
4.Use eggs at room temperature.
5. Piping the meringue mixture will improve appearance.
6. You can bake them slower on a lower heat or faster on a higher heat, the faster method will crack the meringue, this way you could fill it.
7. The type of sugar will change the meringue - stick to caster sugar it is fine and reliable.
8. Add the sugar to the egg whites when they have reached peaks, Yotam Ottolenghi says and tries a different method - if you are brave then look into heating sugar to 100°c!
9. No sign of yolk in the egg whites.
10. Only if you want, tip the bowl upside down to check if the egg whites are stable.
Sorry if any egg white mixture ends up in your hair.

>Chamber gives $12,929 for new center
At the Crooked River Ranch Board of Directors meeting last Monday night the Chamber of Commerce donated $12,929 to the Community Development Organization (CDO) to begin the planning process for a community center.
Former owner of the The Trading Post, Roger Falk, contributed $2,000 of the $12,929.
Receiving the check for the CDO, president Harry Simonis said, "Now we can get started. We've done the feasibility study. We've done the brainstorming and I'd like to ask everyone to continue their efforts for the community center. It's going to get done."
Representatives from the Crooked River Ranch CDO visited the Chiloquin community center, which was described as self-sustaining by Simonis. The CDO would like to model the Crooked River Ranch community center after Chiloquin's.
"They had a police department, a library, an arts and crafts place, a museum, a nurses' station in their community center. Different things like that would pay a small fee monthly," said Simonis. CDO believes that the community center should pay for itself and avoid passing the cost burden on to the Ranch residents.
"We can't possibly ask these folks to be adding to their yearly dues. That's not fair to them. That's not the goal here."
Dwight Mallery, president of the Ranch's Chamber of Commerce, explained that the $12,929 was generated from the Rim Rock Festival proceeds. "When the chamber started this fund back in 1999 we did so with the hope that it would eventually be useful to a Crooked River Ranch organization dedicated to, and capable of making a ... community center," said Mallery. "What I did here tonight was a symbolic gesture to bring the community together," he added.
The CDO was formed in 2002 and completed a strategic plan for Crooked River Ranch in December of 2003, facilitated by Rural Development Initiatives with a grant from the U.S. Forest Service.
The CDO is looking at several sites for the community center located around the Ranch. Simonis said that the commercial lot next to where the fire department trains at the corner of Quail and Shad is a consideration.
Though no criteria or blue prints have been formally released, Simonis ventured to say that the Ranch needs a large meeting room that can double as an entertainment center.

Providing a general operating levy is renewed or replaced in 2002, the Triway Local Schools are predicting a financially stable five years.
The district's 5.5-mill, five-year general operating levy lasts through the end of 2002, so that levy will most likely be placed on the ballot for renewal or replacement near the end of 2001 or the beginning of 2002, treasurer Sue Kruse said.
The state now requires school districts to submit five-year financial forecasts for its general operating budget. Kruse said the numbers are conservative in their revenues and realistic in their expenditures. Providing the levy is at least renewed, the numbers are stable. "I don't want people thinking this is the end of the district. The numbers are realistic, but not too pessimistic. I have faith in our board, our administration and our voters," Kruse said.
Kruse provided two sets of ending cash balances, one without a levy renewal and tax exempt impact aid, and the other with that money. The tax exempt money is provided by the state to Triway because of the high proportion of tax-exempt property, such as The Ohio State University's Agricultural Technical Institute and Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, in the district.
The tax aid is $400,000 a year and the levy brings in $1 million a year for the district, Kruse said.
Even after the tax aid and levy is added, the last two fiscal years show negative balances of $589,000 and $1.5 million. Kruse said she was conservative in estimating real estate growth and aid from the state. "I was rather conservative in revenues, especially from the state. That should be changing, but I used our current trends. I was also conservative in real estate growth. We'll know better in a year or two what those numbers are. The thing I want to make voters aware of is that we will need to renew that operating levy," Kruse said.
Even before they were mandated to send forecasts to Columbus, most districts were using them, to plan around levy cycles. "We've always done this for quite some time. I had to chuckle when this was required by the state. This is something most districts don't mind doing; it doesn't cost us any more money and we already do it," Kruse said.
The school board has not discussed whether it will ask for a renewal or replacement (which would increase the amount collected to keep pace with inflation) of the levy, said board vice president Roger Gwin. "We'll have an election this next fall and we could possibly have three new board members. The decision shouldn't be made until then and won't be. Either way, with only a renewal or replacement, we're in good shape," Gwin said.
The numbers now are similar to what were predicted for the district three to four years ago, so Gwin said he believes the district is on track. "The way it looks, at least in my vision, is that at the most we'd need a replacement levy. If the state plays out and it does what it's saying it will do (increasing funding), the renewal is probably all we need. If that's true, then it's been a long time without asking for additional operating money," Gwin said.

Yes, but this only verifies that the _handler_ exist, not that it is attached to this sdevAgreed. And it works properly with the original design. Here is my thinking on how it would work with the new feature (ability to attach any device using dh_state) you added: - User adds a new device - User knows which scsi hardware handler their device can attach to, lets say, "mydev". - User attaches the device with scsi hardware handler (writing "mydev" to "dh_state"). Device is now attached to "mydev" - User updates his/her multipath.conf file with "mydev" for the specific device. - User invokes multipath, which checks for the existence of "mydev" and allows the table insertion. - When pg_init was required in the future, multipath calls "activate" for "mydev" correctly. Wouldn't this work ? Note: In the absence of this patch (7/7) only.
Yes, but only for the first time. After reboot the user would have to do the reconfiguration again.
Hardware handler module is attached to the device itself (thru try_module_get() in attach), so, the module will exist as long as the device exists.Not quite. It's only attached automatically if the device map has an entry for this module. However, given this patchset we can now easily manually attach any device to the device handler. Or at least try to do so. It's then up to the device handler to refuse binding if none of the necessary pages/information etc. was found.Doesn't dh_state solve this issue ?
In theory, yes.
Hence, there is no need to attach it again from the multipath layer.Yes, you do. The user might have it's own custom configuration file, covering new/unknown/unhandled/testing devices, which out of necessity are _not_ hardcoded in the device table of the device handler. So multipath has to have a way of attaching device handler to those devices, too.dh_state allows the user to do this, in which case why do we need to do this in multipath layer ?
Because then we (read: I) don't have to modify multipath-tools. If we don't take this patch we'll have to modify multipath-tools to check for the dh_state attribute explicitly and activate the hardware handler directly via sysfs. But this also means that existing multipath-tools programs won't be able to correctly activate the hardware handler in _some_ cases (ie those cases, where the hardware table for the device_handler doesn't contain the device in question). And I can just imagine the bugs I'll be getting ... So if we decide to take that road we should kill the hardware handler feature from the device-mapper multipath interface altogether to notify the user that the programs won't work anymore. Otherwise it's just heading for trouble. So I'd rather keep the userland interface stable here and add some code to the kernel.

About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Nashbar Chain Cleaner:
I have bought reasonably priced Nashbar tools in the past and they have worked fine - until now.My experience out of the box was that this chain cleaning tool leaked degreaser on my hands, which made them slippery so I dropped the device and it fell apart. Since my hands were slippery it was difficult to reassemble. I found the gear that engages the chain actually jams up the whole mechanism, so I removed it and it kinda works now. If I had this to do over again, I would buy the Park Tool chain cleaner.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Chain Cleaner - fast & easy
By jgl
from Clifton TX
See all my reviews
The key is getting your bike solidly positioned, so you can focus on turning the crank and keeping the chain cleaner container aligned with the chain.Really easy to use and clean up for the next time.Well priced against the other name brands. Go Nashbar for quality at a fair price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Good deal, parts are easy to lose
By Chain cleaner guy
from Baltimore, MD
The metal axle that is used for the rotating brushes pops out really easily when extracting the chain after cleaning. I lost one after the first use and now it doesn't clean well. Admittedly, my fault, but don't try chain cleaning in grass!
Works pretty well and cheap.

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I tried this out on 4 different bikes. Worked OK to well. Best to put the bike in a workstand. I used with Nashbar citrus degreaser. It worked well overall, more smoothly on my 10-speed than 11-speed chains. Have to work to keep it aligned smoothly as you back-pedal the chain through the device. Any twisting and you will splash degreaser out on the ground. It was quick and took off the bulk of caked on winter lube. I will continue to use it when I have a caked drivetrain (mud mountain bike rides, winter commuting) but go for light lube and rag most days.

Chain Cleaner
By oldbobby

This chain cleaner is easy to use and works great. It was cheaper than a name brand one I was using that fell apart. This one seems much more durable and works better. It is easy to load with de-greaser and easy to hold. Great buy.
hard to use by yourself.
By Dave

Its hard to use by yourself and jams as you turn the cranks. use lots of rags on the floor to keep your floor clean. Not sure about it. it work just not so well for me.
Buy another brand

The ESS Annual Data application is expected to reopen on Thursday, August 7 at 12:00 P.M.
An issue with the final step of the Statewide SAIS Recalculation resulted in some integrity anomalies that impacted the last discipline data build completed on Friday evening (August 1). A fix for this issue is now underway, which will include a new discipline data extract as well as a new exiting data extract. This means that all public education agencies (PEAs), including those that have already completed the final submission process, should review their discipline and exit reports again to ensure accuracy.
• If your PEA has not yet completed the final submission, proceed as you would normally and make any necessary discipline corrections once the final submission has been initiated.
• If you are one of the 187 PEAs that has already completed the final submission process, you are encouraged to review your discipline data again. If you find any errors as a result of the new discipline build, you may contact ESS Data Management to request a "reset" of your ESS Annual Data application. Doing this will change your status to "Data Entered – Final Submit Required" and you can then proceed through the final submission steps and revise discipline data as needed. If is determined that no discipline corrections are necessary and the data can remain as is, no action is needed.
If any errors are found with your exiting data, please let us know as soon as possible. There is a separate process for these corrections that is handled outside of the ESS Annual Data application.
We applaud those of you who worked quickly to complete the final submission process and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. ESS is focused on collecting and submitting accurate and valid data and re-running the discipline and exit data extracts is necessary to ensure Arizona's special education data is error-free.
Thank you for your continued efforts, please let us know if we can assist you.

Intersection of lists of lists based on the first term
There is something I've been doing inefficiently that I think might be done
much better, and was hoping folks here could help.
I am working with time series data in the form
where the many of the timestamps will be in common between the series, but
not all.
I frequently need to work with only those data which are available in all
the time series, and I have written a function that does this, in the
simplest case, by first working out the timestamps that all the series share
in common
timestampsincommon=Intersection @@ Map[Transpose[#][[1]] &,
then running Select based on MemberQ
Map[Select[#, MemberQ[timestampsincommon, #[[1]]] &] &,
This works, but the completion time increases roughly linearly with the
number of datapoints involved, and is slow when the number of points gets
large, and it seems inelegant. I was hoping somebody on the list might
suggest a better way.
Thank you,

How to evict a roommate that is not on the lease?
Question Details:
I need to get rid of my roommate. I never put him on the lease and he hasn't paid a dime in the 5 months I've allowed him to stay with me. I could totally get evicted for having a roommate not on my lease but I live in a ghetto trailer park, so the landlords are pretty lax. I'm hoping to get him out ASAP, as in sooner than 30 days. My general hope is that he has absolutely no right to be here and I can tell him to get out at my leisure and I'd be in the right.
From the sounds of things this roommate either paid rent at some point or was supposed to. In such a case, they are more than guest, they are in fact, a "subtenant" and that makes you the "sub-landlord"). Accordingly, since you have the legal right to occupy the premises, you can file an unlawful detainer action (i.e. eviction proceeding) in court. You will have to comply with all legal requirements in order to get this roommate legally removed. This starts with giving them written notice (and typically this means 30 days). If he fails to vacate by the date specified in the notice, that's when you will then file your unlawful detainer. When it is granted, he will either have to leave the premises by the specified date or the sheriff will remove him.
In the meantime do not undertake any "self-help" remedies such as changing the locks, removing his belongings, etc. You could be sued if you do. What you can do now is to contact a tenant's right group or attorney who specializes landlord-tenant cases. They can best advise of the correct way in which to go about this.
Note: If this roommate is an "official" tenant, the only way to have him legally removed from the premises is to have your landlord file for the unlawful detainer action. Having your roommate's name on a lease is not the only way that he may be considered to be a formal tenant of your landlord. In addition to being on the lease, he may have achieved the status of a tenant if your landlord accepted rent from him directly. Also, if the landlord put (or allowed him to put) his name on the mailbox/doorbell, and/or if he rented the place together with you and it was clear that you were both on equal footing.

4-24: Dear Diary, today I woke up and noticed that my dear sister, Jazzmen, hadn't come home yet since she had left a few days before. She has been gone for about 4 days now and I don't know where she is. I went to my Mom and Dad to see if they knew. My Dad could tell I was concerned and told me that she had embarked on her journey to heaven to be with our late sister Jessi. My Mom further told me that she was back in her youthful form chasing tennis balls and running with Jessi Girl.
Jazzmen: if you can hear me...Run Free. I miss you so much. You taught me everything I know and made me who I am today. I will take care of Mom and Dad and make sure that Kinsie and Lexi behave. Dad told me that he heard from you (spiritually) which indicates you are in great form. You can come play with me in my dreams anytime you want. Lots of love...

The big question is: Do you want to be employed as a caterer by a larger organization or start your own catering business?
As an employee of a larger catering organization, you can expect a median yearly salary of $35,000 to $50,000, according to www.payscale.com, a Web site that publishes accurate, real-time salary reports based on job title, location, education, skills, and experience. The benefits of employment are that you do not take the financial risk of starting a business, you have fewer job responsibilities than a catering business owner, and you gain valuable experience. The downside is that your earning potential is more limited.
As a caterer owning your own business, there is no guaranteed salary. You risk the money you use to start your business, your job responsibilities cover all aspects of the business, and any mistakes you make affect you directly. The upside is that your earning potential is virtually unlimited.
A medium-size catering business grossing $500,000 per year (about $10,000 in receipts every week) can realize a profit ranging from 10 to 20 percent, or $50,000 to $100,000. Top caterers can gross $1 million or more with a similar profit margin—about $100,000 to $200,000 per year.
Keeping expenses in line and factoring profit into your pricing are the keys to that profit. (See Chapter 3, "Pricing for Profit.") Whether you want to start your own business or to be employed as a caterer or catering manager, there are many types of catering to consider.

The Art of The Spiritual, - a master class to be taught by Florence Quivar, mezzo-soprano, a prominent Opera singer known for her warm, and rich voice, will be taught today, February 9, 2013 at 4PM at Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew (Chapel - 263 West 86th Street New York, NY 10024), Admission is $10 (mail payments to: Opera Ebony Guild, 305 West 90th Street, Suite G, New York, NY 10024). This master class, right in time for Black History Month, will teach the history of the Negro spiritual from the shores of Africa to present day, as well as showcase 6 young singers on the interpretation, style and performance practice of the spiritual.
The celebratory weekend will continue with a Heritage Concert on Sunday, February 10 at 4PM at Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew (in Main Sanctuary - 263 West 86th Street New York, NY 10024). The concert will feature Soprano Janinah Burnet, who is currently performing in La Rondine with the Metropolitan Opera and will be heard with the MET later this season in Parsifal. Ms. Burnett appears courtesy of the Metropolitan Opera.
The Heritage Concert will also include performances by: Janinah Burnett, Soprano, Karen Parks, Soprano, Patrick Dailey, Counter-tenor, K'idar Miller, Tenor, Anthony Turner, Baritone and Davone Tines, Bass-baritone. Each songstress will perform a group of Spirituals and art songs by African American composers.

For more information and tickets visit: www.etix.com.
Gregory Sheppard, General Manager of Opera Ebony states, "The Art Song literature of African American composers is some of the most beautiful classical music literature written. Works of composers Uzee Brown, Betty Jackson King, Leslie Adams and others will be represented during the rich performance." Sheppard adds, "How fitting to celebrate these composers, the art of the Spiritual and more during this Black History Month and in our 40th Season - we are proud to continue this rich legacy."

Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) are an opportunity for investors to support the growth of small UK businesses while receiving attractive tax reliefs in return. They were introduced by the UK Government to encourage individuals to invest in this crucial area of the economy. We are proud of the investments our EISs have invested in so far, and the positive impacts they have, including those in renewable energy, leisure and entertainment businesses.
Within the restrictions of the EIS rules, we have sought to manage risk by:
- Diversification: by spreading funds across different investments and locations.
- Predictable revenue streams: from (i) index-linked Government-backed subsidies and (ii) sale of renewable energy (electricity).
- No planning risk: we only invest in businesses that have in place all the relevant consents and planning permissions.
- Downing consents: we place various restrictions on the businesses in order to protect our investors, including limiting debt and Downing consent being required for major expenditure.
By investing in an EIS, the tax reliefs that have been available include:
- 30% income tax relief on the amount subscribed from the 2011/12 tax year and 20% prior to this (subject to a 3 year holding period)
- IHT-free after 2 years (from date of share issue)
- CGT deferral relief
- Loss relief against income or capital This is only a brief summary of the EIS tax reliefs and investors should take personal tax advice on the reliefs available to them.
The relief you get depends on your individual circumstances and the tax rules may change in future. HM Revenue & Customs law and practice can change over time and investors who are unsure about their tax status should get independent advice from a professional adviser.

For the past two weeks, I've been on the other side of the planet, spending a few days each in four very different cities: Sydney, Singapore, Beijing, and Shanghai. While Sydney was much like I remembered it — an exotic version of San Francisco but with better weather — the Singapore skyline had changed drastically and now appears to be a science-fiction version of the seaport I remembered. (If you think I'm kidding, just do a search on "Marina Bay Sands Hotel.")
In contrast to Sydney and Singapore, I hadn't been to either Beijing or Shanghai before. I was blown away by how vibrant those cities are and how much prosperity is on display: If the Chinese economy is truly slowing down, you wouldn't know it from all the luxury cars on the road.
Despite all the diversity I saw on my trip, for me, there was one constant across all four cities: the high level of interest in customer experience.
In Sydney, I gave talks about customer experience to three different groups of 20 to 40 people each. Even though the attendees came from very diverse companies — like insurers, quick-serve restaurants, technology vendors, and giant professional services firms — all three groups asked questions that showed this wasn't their first CX rodeo.
I also gave a speech to the digital team at a major bank, and as a bonus, I got to see the company's chief experience officer give a talk. Frankly, there are a lot of US and European banks that could learn from that large, enthusiastic, clued-in group.
My time in Singapore started out with a customer experience ecosystem mapping workshop for around 35 people. This was also a diverse group, with varying levels of customer experience expertise, even among attendees from the same company. They all picked up on the concepts, though, and generated an impressive amount of insight.

Yuebao is a hot topic in China, and has even gotten international attention. But what is it? Yuebao is a value-added service that customers of Alipay (China's version of PayPal) can use to earn interest and to make payments and transfers. An individual can start a Yuebao account with as little as RMB 1 (US$0.17).
The Alibaba Group launched Yuebao in June 2013. By mid-February 2014, 61 million people had invested money in Yuebao, and total fund skyrocketed to RMB 400 billion (US$65 billion) – making it the largest fund in China.
People are drawn to Yuebao because of its:

Microsoft is officially launching the commercial operations of its cloud offerings in China today. It's been only nine months since Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft, made the announcement in Shanghai that Windows Azure — now renamed Microsoft Azure — would be available for preview in the Chinese market.
I call that Episode I of the China Cloud War. In the report that I published at the time, "PaaS Market Dynamics in China, 2012 To 2017", I made three predictions — predictions that are now being fulfilled. More global players are joining the war; customers have gotten familiar with cloud concepts and are planning hybrid cloud implementations for their businesses; and traditional IT service providers have started to transform themselves into cloud service providers.
I talked with Microsoft and Citrix last week, and I strongly believe that Episode I has ended and Episode II has just begun. In the battle for partner ecosystems and real customer business, here are the three major plots that enterprise architects and CIOs in China should watch unfold:

The entire cloud ecosystem in China is undergoing significant change. End users are getting more serious about adopting cloud solutions and ISVs are working with telecom carriers and partners to deliver mission-critical business applications in the cloud. My latest report, "Brief: Major Players Are Targeting The Chinese Cloud Market For Core Business Apps," summarizes the overall trends of cloud adoption in China, looks at each vendor's solution, and provides high-level suggestions.

"No regrets buying the invitation at Tinyprints. It's cheap but the quality is not sacrificed. The free design review is a great addition to the service. I requested to verify that the photo resolution is good for printing, and the reviewer addressed it and assured me the photo is of excellent quality. The invitations arrived earlier than expected, and packed very well. No folds on the corners of the invitation and the envelopes. I love the product and the service I received."
"Absolutely love this Baptism invitation. It's simple, but elegant. It's the perfect color combination if you're not a fan of pink, but want just a touch."
"Absolutely LOVE the quality of this invitation - first time ordering from the Studio Basics line, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The paper itself is a nice card stock, design was simple but elegant and the photo and text print was clear and even better in person. Would definitely recommend."
"I picked this style for my daughter's baptism cuz it wasn't too religious. It's classy and modern. Beautiful impression, thick paper so it doesn't seem cheap. I'm very hands-on, and it was amazingly simple to create this invitation!"
"I could not be happier with the way these invitations turned out! I made my daughter's name and the info for the baptism in black font and it is beautiful! They turned out perfect! The paper quality and photo quality are amazing! I rush ordered them and got them in two days as promised! Thank you!!"

After taking a closer look at the HTC Sense Canadian portal, the HTC Desire HD is listed alongside the recently available HTC Desire Z handset with Bell – so one would have to assume that the Desire HD is headed for TELUS. In any event, there are going to be a lot of people interested in this handset since it brings forth some larger than life specs under its hood.
However, the only sour note with the whole thing is that the Android 2.2 powered handset would probably launch some time in early 2011 as opposed to something closer for the busy holiday season.

Marin County School Volunteers enriches student learning by recruiting, training and pairing volunteer tutors with students in Marin public schools.
Marin County School Volunteers is the only countywide organization that matches volunteer tutors with public school students in classrooms and homework centers. Our goal is to help every child succeed. We provide volunteer orientations and frequently updated trainings to assist new volunteers, as well as on-going workshops for experienced volunteers.
Established in 1997, Marin County School Volunteers began with 40 volunteers in five schools. We now have over 300 adult volunteers, and 50 student volunteers in 45+ schools, homework centers and community programs; but we have a long list of teachers who are waiting for a volunteer.
Please join the many community volunteers who contribute their time and skills to the students of Marin County. There are as many ways to contribute as there are people. Whether you are interested in literacy, computers, math, or the arts, we will help you find a rewarding experience, while making a real difference in a child's life. MCSV also provides volunteer opportunities beyond tutoring.
"The simple act of sharing time and skills with young people who need extra help has monumental consequences for the future of these students. Do you want to change a life? Read with a child, volunteer to be a tutor, donate equipment or financial resources to Marin County School Volunteers. Your effort can save two lives, the student's and yours."

Who Is Taylor Swifts New Song About?
On Monday, Taylor Swift premiered her new single during a live web chat with fans, sparking much speculation about who the song is about....We all know she writes songs about her ex's.
She said she was frustrated by rumors she was reuniting with a certain unnamed ex, she decided to set the record straight – publicly.
"I was writing (in the studio)… and then this guy walks in, who was a friend of my ex's, and he starts talking about how he's heard that we were getting back together – and that was not the case.
"And so when he leaves, (Swift's songwriting partner Max Martin) was like, 'So what's the story behind that?' And so I start telling him this story of this break-up, get back together, break-up, get back together, just, ugh, the worst.
I picked up a guitar and Max said, 'This is what we're writing…' It was so much fun."

I'm a liberal leaning outdoorsman attempting to open the minds of right wingers to the idea that libs fish too. Anglers come from all walks of life, left, right, and center. Not everyone who fishes for bass is a redneck fond of Nascar, country music, and religiosity. Expect posts about largemouth bass fishing, techniques, reviews of lures and other products, but not any condemnable conservative rants. I hope to inspire the online angler community to dial down rhetoric which will do more harm than good to our sport.
If you are looking for something in particular, use the Labels below, the Blog Archive, or the search box at the top to find what you need. When using the search box, simple search terms will get the best results. One word is often better than three. Searching for "Pflueger" will give you more results than "Pflueger baitcasting reel." Use these three features to your advantage.
Labels are relevant tags or keywords. Click on a label to view other related posts organized by date. For example, clicking on the label spinnerbaits will take you to all the other posts with the tag spinnerbaits and the label largemouth bass denotes any fishing report where I caught a bass. Labels are listed below, first by frequency and then in alphabetical order. Labels are also tagged below each individual post. When viewing by Label, 20 results are listed per page. Click "Older Posts" to see more posts with that Label. In addition, some entries may also have a list of related posts at the bottom you might also find useful.
Anyone can comment, so go ahead and post. I'd like to hear what you think. There is a "Post a Comment" link below every single entry. Comments are still moderated for approval. Anything inappropriate will be rejected. This also helps cut down on spam.
Thanks for stopping by!
