I marinated some drums in buttermilk overnight. some i rolled in everglades
pre-seasoned breading, some i rinsed and seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning, and the rest i cooked with just the buttermilk coating.
i cooked on the rol for about 45min at 325 and then introduced them to my belly.
i wasn't sure how the breaded ones would turn out put they came out crunchy and the seasoning was tasty.
the montreal chicken is always good and the buttermilk ones had a nice crispy texture to the skin and tasted good but tasted better after a little salt.

I'll say one thing, the power is LEGIT. I couldn't post in some of those old Stubbs debates on the ORG because they took place before I was called up, but I remember his power potential was certainly a polarizing topic.
After watching him this year, I'm convinced without a doubt. He may never reach it, but I think he's got 30 homer potential. When he gets a ball good, my goodness, does it ever travel. He hits majestic home runs.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Stubbs posts a 30 HR/30 SB season or two in his career.
The pick that really got me bent was the Watson pick. Ugh.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
nobody argued that Stubbs wouldn't make it more than me. I became convinced his power would never develop due to approach, not tools. And I'm thrilled that he seems to be maturing as a player. He's very streaky, but the defense (which i never argued against) is always there.
As an aside, it really is ok to disagree about players. Stubbs, Bailey, Cueto, Heisey. We all have opinions, and just because we disagree doesn't mean we don't root for them everyday.
Unless of course the name on the back is Taveras. Kidding.
"There was like a softness to it, a glow to it. I felt... I felt warm."
-- Joseph Daniel Votto 7/10/2017
That homerun in the first tonite makes Stubbs a 20/20 player in his first full season in the major leagues.
Just a delightful year from him. His OPS over. 750 for the year, at least through the first at-bat tonight.
Bruce and Stubbs, Stubbs and Bruce. I like that combo.
HR #20 and he went the other way to do it.
20/20 for the year. Impressive rookie campaign!
Has any Reds player gone 20/20 in the first full season as a Red? I know he's not technically a rookie because he had too many ABs last year, but a 20/20 campaign in your first full season is pretty awesome.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda

TROWBRIDGE mountain biker Ash Brown is hoping to make the first leap towards a national title when this year's British 4X series kicks off in Cheshire this weekend.
The 26-year-old is competing in his third successive season in the senior section of the national championship.
After seeing his previous campaign curtailed by a shoulder injury, Brown aims to make up for lost time, starting with the opening round at Hale's Superbole park on Sunday.
"I always used to do downhill racing but back in 2004, I heard about Katy Curd (Box's 2013 4x Pro Tour and Elite national series champion) switching to 4x and when I learned what it was, I thought 'I'd like to have a go at that'," said Brown, who works as a gas engineer.
"I did my first season as an amateur and last year, things were going well until I went to Fort William (for the British round of the Pro Tour).
"In practice, I came down a jump and my shoulder didn't feel right. When I went to go again, I just couldn't and it turned out that I'd torn the ligaments.
"That injury really messed things up for me but hopefully, I want to win some races and try to finish top of the standings overall – I'm in my third year now and I think that I can do it."
Brown rides for Curtis Bikes and is also sponsored by Charge clothing company and Loam9 media.

The way to Make WWE watchable again
by, 11-27-2012 at 05:11 AM (6084 Views)
Everyone knows WWE isn't going anywhere but that doesn't mean the product they are producing is good, It is watchable & somewhat entertaining but it is so boring & repetitive sometimes or most of the time that it's getting people who have followed wrestling their whole lives to not be interested. And yes I know as long as they get kids into the product they will be successful but there are a lot of Adult orientated businesses that have been massively successful. So these are my Idea's to make WWE better
1: Diva's division
They need to give diva's who actually wanted to wrestle the spot light. AJ, Natalya, Paige, Tamina & Kaitlin etc should be the main focus of the division. get rid of Fox & Aksana, leave the funkadactyles & Rosa as managers. I'd also leave Eve & Layla because at least they've improved in the last few years. Finally change the name only bad things come to mind when you say Diva so go back to women's division or something better.
2: Tag division
People believe the tag team division is getting better but in reality it's not to far from where it was when Otunga & McG had the belts. Look at the teams Hell No, Mysterio & Cara & Rhodes Scholars these teams are all the same, make shift teams who won't be together in 6 months & the PTP both members are in their early to mid 30's so they will want to break up in a few years to go for world title runs. If your gonna make a new team get them off the main roster change their characters then star them off from the beginning as a team just like they did with Bryan O'Conner & the assention he had an awful gimmick now he's a shining light for the division. give the USO's the belts
3: Mid Cards
Since the "Rebirth" of the tag division the mid cards suck people like Kane, Bryan, Rhodes, Sandow & Mysterio have been taken away from the division. Christian, Bourne & others are out injured & the people like Kidd, Gabriel aren't getting a chance where as santino, Ryder, Truth are boring the spotlight.
4: Replay's
We already watched it earlier stop taking away time from your product to show the Cena promo 5 times. also we have youtube, WWE.com, DVR we don't need them to replay it once in a year something is big enough to need a replay but they over kill it
5: Split the brands
you have enough time for everyone on the roster but you choose to use people 2-3X's a week makes no sense why pay people to sit in the back. they have 7.5 hours of TV a week(not including NXT) keep the Raw & SD separate, use Superstars to test out some NXT stars before the main roster, use Main Event for a big Raw vs. SD match or an extra big match from either brand, leave the kids characters on SMS.
6: Divid the brands for kids & adults
use RAW, SD, SS & ME for adults & Use SMS & another brand for kids get both audiences bring back some attitude & Charisma to the adult brands
7: Get rid of the Gimmick
These Gimmick PPV's ruin everything it destroys PPV's, Rivalries & match types. HITC isn't a good match anymore, TLC has lost its flare etc. keep Xtreme rules lose the rest it's allowing writers to be lazy
8: Get Creative
Bring back those weird & exciting 1 off matches that make a rivalry more fun. for example it looks like there will be a tag team title match Mys & Cara vs. PTP vs. Hell No why not make it a triple threat elimination table match it doesn't happen every day & It doesn't have to be a whole new concept just different.
9: Change the belt
WWE, Tag, Diva's
10: Prestige
the Big 1 I don't think a lot of people will agree with what I say about this but it's what i think needs to be done. To bring back prestige we need to GET RID OF MONEY IN THE BANK CONCEPT basically there has rarely been a credible new champion in the last 5 years & that's because when HBK, Stone Cold, The Rock etc won the WWE title it was after years of work culminating in a big match with a big rival & beating them. I think the MITB actually damaged EDGE's career 10 title reigns & at least 7 of them was a deceitful win which started when he cashed in MITB & was labelled the ultimate opportunist. the Miz, DB, ADR,RVD,Swagger, even Punk had horrible MITB title reigns & the list goes on.
If the WWE did these or at least some of these WWE will be watchable

Warren Ellis reimagines New York City as a puzzle with the most dangerous pieces of all: guns.
After a shootout claims the life of his partner in a condemned tenement building on Pearl Street, Detective John Tallow unwittingly stumbles across an apartment stacked high with guns. When examined, each weapon leads to a different, previously unsolved murder. Someone has been killing people for 20 years or more and storing the weapons together for some inexplicable purpose.
Confronted with the sudden emergence of hundreds of unsolved homicides, Tallow soon discovers that he's walked into a veritable deal with the devil. An unholy bargain that has made possible the rise of some of Manhattan's most prominent captains of industry. A hunter who performs his deadly acts as a sacrifice to the old gods of Manhattan, who may, quite simply, be the most prolific murderer in New York City's history.
Warren Ellis's body of work has been championed by Wired for its "merciless action" and "incorruptible bravery", and steadily amassed legions of diehard fans. His newest audiobook builds on his accomplishments like never before, announcing Ellis as one of today's most daring thriller writers. This is 21st-century suspense writ large. This is Gun Machine.
©2012 Warren Ellis (P)2012 Hachette Audio
"Perfect marriage between writer and narrator"
Ellis' gritty prose paired with Reg E. Cathey's narration give this whole piece a level of street, humor and realism that makes for an enjoyable listen.
Ellis takes what is on the surface could be an episode of Criminal Minds and infuses it with great banter and a unique take on pathology/mythology. The banter between cops is funny without being campy.
Smart writing. Good story. Wonderful narrator. More by him, please!
"Maybe 3 stars?"
I am ambivalent about "Gun Machine". I won't recount the plot points, because so many other reviewers have done so already, and done it very well. PROS: I really, really liked the writing style, the author is showing his comic book roots and really knows how to plot out a story. And the story starts great, with immediate action and an eerie mystery, and some funny parts too. Finally, without revealing any spoilers, there's a plot twist involving the killer that I rather liked. Not a big surprise or a big deal, but handled in a very matter-of-fact way that just appealed to me. The narrator does a good job and definitely has a way with delivering tricky/conic dialogue. CONS: But it all collapses in the last third of the novel, which is kinda slow. When the ending finally arrives, it is abrupt and flat. Also, most of the characters are common stereotypes. I am particularly tired of the lesbian with the rapacious sexual appetite who can get any beautiful, hot young thing the male protagonist/author desires; she seems to be everywhere lately.
"great build up, no pay off"
The book started out amazingly.Great hook, some tragedy. Solid character building. The second act brought in some wonderful supporting characters and plot twists that only dragged you deeper into the story. The third act took all of that and chucked it in the bin leaving you with a rehashed and somewhat cliched police procedural. Such a let down from an amazing build up. I can not recommend this book because of that third act.
Don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Trip's cool though. Use Audible to make gym-training sane... And rip my imagination.
"Clever, Nimble, Robust... Like That."
Liked this. The storyline, the characters, the performance. I want more Warren Ellis. Want more of Reg E. Cathey. Yeah... Gun machine's clever.
"Great Pulp Writing with a Twist of History"
I've listened to many, many audiobooks (I finish two to three audiobooks a month) and this was incredibly well done. I'd put this in the top 25 I've listened to.
I loved the interesting history that's expressed on Manhattan. The actual Gun Machine is pretty neat too.
Loved the gritty style he brings to the book. He may not have a huge difference in voices, but that's not the case with every audiobook narrator anyway. Great voice acting.
A detective lost his partner and now fights through reams of history to solve hundreds of cases that may have been done by one man.
If you like detective novels with a twist (such as the Dresden Files) this is right up your ally.
"Gun Machine good could have been better."
The performance of the reader was the highlight of the book.
I would recommend this book to some of my friends who are fans of the detective story but don't get caught up in the "thats not how things are really done." mind set.
Mr, Cathey performance was great. His voice was able to bring a gritty feeling that am not sure was actually on the page but fit the book well.
Overall the book is good. The themes and imagery are fantastic. Weaving in the history of NYC was really cool. Being rather familiar with guns, police procedure and the language of law enforcement. I found some of the elements and language a little odd the characters often refer to them selves or others as "a police" instead of saying cop for example " he was an old school police". Just to nit pick a little some of the gun stuff is just plane wrong at one point a character extracted black powder from 9mm cases, modern firearms use smokeless powder, black powder is used in old school guns like flintlocks and old west era firearms, its not the kind of gun powder you will find in the rounds fired from a pistol made after the 1920's. To be fair most authors don't get gun stuff right either. Overall I enjoyed the book the story was decent but in the end it was a little too familiar and it was not as satisfying as I was hoping for.
"Wish There Were More"
near the top besst so far in a long time
Hard to choose just ONE as the whole book was so good really sucked me into listening
No but the performance was great!!
A most EXCELLENT book wish there were more<br/>Thanks for offering this to us listeners
Keep adding more of these great authors
"something a little different"
This book was fun. Some good forensics, interesting characters, lots of info on prehistoric Manhattan, corruption in the ranks, gruesome carnage. Not the run-of-the-mill good guys vs bad guys book: this author has some interesting things to say and has wrapped it up in a package whose central premise seems a bit weak but ultimately makes some kind of sense, and en route goes to some cool places.
"Can't put this book down!"
Warren Ellis provides a highly addictive story that will make you disregard any kind of sleep regimine.

The Flash Player 11/AIR 3.0 (Serrano) release fulfills a long-standing developer request by introducing a native ActionScript JSON API. With this API, you can import and export objects using JSON encoding. Native JSON functionality correlates closely with the ECMA-262 (5.1 Edition) specification for JSON. Because of this, its syntax is somewhat different from the third-party as3corelib JSON library. You can find out more about these differences in community member Todd Anderson's blog posting at the Infrared5 company blog.
The API itself consists of a top-level class named JSON. This class provides two methods:
stringify() for encoding, and
parse() for decoding JSON strings. The JSON feature also supports
toJSON() member functions in any class. Visit the official documentation at these locations:

Picture Frames
Posted by scrap On August 31st, 2014
Picture frames are great way to express the creativity in you. From child art to professional drawings, proper framing adds a unique look.
Some people like to show off photos of their family and great ancestors in big frames to attract the guests. Decorating your residence along with nice photos is a great idea.
It is better to keep similar type of framing for all the photos you are displaying. You can go for a collage fashion if you are bit modern. Do you know that frames alone can be used as a good decor item? Use it in a different way. Paint your ornate frame and use it as a beautiful mirror. What a great and inexpensive decoration idea!
If you are a professional photographer or artist who likes to conduct an exhibition for popularity or sales, frames can help them a lot to handle the pictures safely and it can give more visibility to them. Nothing will happen even if someone touches your great treasure along with their dirty hands.
Select the frame which further boosts the beauty of your artwork. Normally traditional frames are the best choice for paintings and painters and artist usually select the wooden ones rather than a synthetic or plastic frame.
The price per photo frames depends on the quality, size and which one you choose. Ready-made or custom ones metallic picture frames or minimalistic styles are the most effective option for the photographers.
In order to give more appeal to your black and white photos, it is better to use a picture frame along with white wide mat board. This will bring the attention of the viewer to focus on the centre of the frame. Painters and artists usually prefer a wooden frame to display their work. The main reason for using the wooden frame is that it can be painted, stained or glided in different colors. A painted frame will give a more attractive look to the painting or photo.
The ready-made picture frames are available in different shapes and sizes and custom ones are normally built to suit the image and not just from stock. The cost of photo frames or ready made frames are much less compared to the custom-made frames. Find out more in picture framing basics.
If your artwork does not fit into a normal sized frame, then go for custom-made frame. That is the most effective option for you. For custom made frames, you have actually to specify the correct size of your artwork. But, whatever frame you choose in the end, select the one which will further compliment your artwork. This will make your work more appealing to any viewer's eye.
It is always best to choose a qualified picture framer to help you choose the best solution for your situation.
Picture Framing Basics
Posted by scrap On August 31st, 2014
Have a bunch of pictures and want an economical way to display them all? This is where collage picture frames come in handy.
Collage frames are fantastic, cost-effective options if you want to display several pictures without buying a bunch of frames. Collage picture frames contain several picture openings that Have actually different sizes. along with collage photo frames, you will Have actually a safe, secure way to protect your pictures and enjoy sharing them along with your friends and family.
With digital cameras it's tempting to take countless photos but unfortunately rarely do people print them out and enjoy them. along with collage picture frames, it's easy to display, share and remember priceless memories in a neat, well-arranged display.
These frames come in a variety of shapes, styles, colors, and sizes, but come in two types – matted collage frames and collage photo frames along with several framed openings.
Matted Collage Picture Frames
Matted collage frames are generally less expensive because they Have actually only one exterior frame. Matted collage picture frames Have actually a collection of smaller sized openings that Have actually different sizes so you can display more photos.
Matted collages include a collage mat and frame, but you can also create your own matted collage frame. To create your own, all you do is buy a separate collage mat and then choose the picture frame you want that holds the mat. It will generally cost a little more to create your own matted photo collage frame but it does give you additional options to choose from.
What separates the matted collage frame from other frames is that the pictures must be secured to the mat's back. There are a couple of ways to choose from depending on each picture's significance. For important pictures, you can prevent damaging the photo by using linen tape or photo corners. But if the pictures Have actually less significance, you can just use tape that has actually a matte finish. Please be warned that using tape may damage your photo by sticking to the paper on the back of the picture. If you try removing tape that's adhered to the picture, it's finest cutting the tape then ripping off the paper on the back of the picture. Just remember if you use any type of tape (not designed for photos), you risk damaging your picture.
Another benefit of matted collage photo frames is that you can write or draw on the mat. The ability to personalize your collage frame is another reason why matted collage frames are so popular.
True Collage Picture Frames
The other type of collage frame has actually multiple framed openings. These frames can either be found as a cluster of mini frames put together, or can be one frame along with metal or wood as a divider separating each photo. This frame basically holds larger photos and offers fewer picture openings compared to the matted collage frame.
These photo frames come in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and designs. Even though most collages are designed to hang on the wall, some do include easel back stands for displaying pictures on a tabletop. Those that include built-in easel back stands are the higher quality collage photo frames in sizes smaller than 11×14.
A collage frame is the perfect choice for displaying a medley of memories, such as family gatherings, wedding celebrations, anniversaries, and family outings. Also, for students going off to college, collage frames are a great reminder of happy memories of family and friends back home.
Whether it's for yourself or for a person else, collage picture frames are a stylish and economical way to display your favorite memories of family and friends.
Picture Framing Glass
Posted by scrap On August 31st, 2014
Human ingenuity has actually come up along with a lot of great uses for glass to surround and support a photograph, and personalized glass picture frames add a brilliant flourish of individuality to a photo that you are displaying. These frames are similar in concept to laser engraved wood picture frames, where names or a personal message, or a combination of the two, are etched into the surface of the frame itself.
Personalized glass picture frames have actually a very different look and feel than custom wood frames, however. The clean, crisp elegance of the glass along with its smooth etching fits in almost every situation and matches nearly any taste. The frames are truly modern or contemporary in design, yet they are additionally timeless – beautiful art objects as well as practical displays for pictures.
Where wooden frames are mostly used for informal pictures, glass picture frames along with a personal message added can fit into formal, professional circumstances just as easily as into the most relaxed, informal ones. They look just as sophisticated on a lawyer's desk as they do on the old coffee table at estate where you have actually your computer set up. In short, they are universal in their uses.
Typical Easel-Style Personalized Glass Picture Frames
Among personalized glass picture frames, some of the most common – and most popular – are tablet-type frames that hold a 4" by 6" photograph and stand upright on easel legs. They can be placed in several different spots – on shelves, on the dresser, as a centerpiece to the dining room table, on the mantelpiece, even on your desk at work. They look good anywhere there is a flat surface to support them.
Usually, one half of one of these frames is the actual frame, along with a space to put either a horizontal or vertical 4" by 6" photo (or some other common, small photo size piece). The other half, next to the picture, is a space along with decorative elements like scrollwork around the edges.
The custom message is inscribed in the middle of this half, using an appropriate font. Flowing, romantic script is favored for anniversary or wedding frames, for example, while a graduation picture may use bouncy, celebratory fonts.
Facing the frame from the front, the picture is on the left and the writing is on the right – though from the "perspective" of the picture, the photo is on the right, a cultural relic of the olden days when the rightmost position was the most honorable, since the rightmost man in a line was not covered by the shield of a man next to him and therefore needed to be exceptionally brave.
These glass picture frames usually stand on two glass easel legs, or a single easel prop made out of glass, allowing them to be set up everywhere there is a level area.
Other Configurations Of Personalized Glass Picture Frames
This naturally isn't the only way a glass picture frame along with personalized lettering can be set up, and there are others that reverse the position of photo and words, put the words on the top or bottom, and so on. Whatever you think looks ideal for personalization purposes, you can likely find it offered somewhere, and can use it to display your pictures in one of the most stylish manners available today.
Personalizing glass picture frames to commemorate a special event or person adds more meaning to your photos. Names, dates, and artwork can even be etched onto the glass frame to your exact specifications.

Our new Laser Pegs Word and ABC Block Kit is a favorite of kids everywhere.
There are many exciting "firsts" throughout a child's early development: Their first steps, their first word, their first birthday, etc. However, one specific moment in a child's life that is exciting for parents everywhere is when they begin to craft and form their own sentences for the first time.
It can be difficult to understand what your child wants and needs when they are unable to speak for themselves. In fact, we spend the first few years of our child's life trying to decipher and break down hand gestures and pointing in order to determine if our child is sick, hungry, needs something, is tired or any number of other things that may affect their mood and happiness. It's only when they begin to sound out new words, syllables and sentences that we learn a little bit more about what they want.
If you are looking to take your child's learning abilities a step further when it comes to speaking and crafting their own sentences, alphabet and word blocks are a great way to start. These classic children's toys have been a favorite for parents and kids everywhere for a long time, and for good reason! Not only are letter blocks among the simplest of toys, but they also are among the most beneficial in many ways.
Because alphabet blocks come with no rules and instructions, kids are able to make up their own rules and really explore a new way of play! In fact, the sky is the limit for what kids can do with letter and word blocks.
For instance, open-ended blocks give kids the opportunity to explore their gross motor skills and fine motor skills. This is because, as children pick up and play with small blocks, their small muscles will develop each time they place and position them. Even the smallest of motions, such as stacking blocks, provide benefits like hand-eye coordination and balance.
Letter blocks also allow kids to develop cognitively and intellectually. They will begin to learn and think abstractly about sizes, numbers, orders, shapes, length, pattern and weight as they play and assemble the blocks.
If you are looking for a fun letter block set for your child to play with, look no further than the Laser Pegs Word Block Kit and Letter Block Kit.
Our light-up Word Block Kit features 48 different words for your child to read out loud and combine with other words to make their very own sentences. Plus, with fun family words such as 'home,' 'we,' and 'car,' you can help your child work out plenty of sentences that teach them about words, while also telling enjoyable, interactive stories about your family!
The Laser Pegs ABC Block Kit is also a great way to connect, stack and combine the alphabet. These fun, 12-piece Laser Pegs give you the entire alphabet to form words, and also come with enough Xs and Os to play an illuminated game of tic-tac-toe on our 3D Light Board. Your child can use this great light up kit to learn the basics of letters and practice spelling―perfect for any child looking to get a leg up on their elementary education!

Fewer buyers signed contracts to buy homes in June. Will that dampen the optimism of those celebrating the housing rebound? Not yet.
The National Association of Realtors' pending home sales index slipped 1.4 percent to 99.3 in June. But it wasn't because of a lack of buyers, says NAR's chief economist, Lawrence Yun. It was because there weren't enough homes for sale on the market. I know this notion probably feels like a slap in the face to home sellers across the country, especially those who have been trying to sell their homes for months.
But when buyers have fewer options, there are fewer deals, NAR says.
"Buyer interest remains strong but fewer home listings mean fewer contract signing opportunities," Yun says. "We've been seeing a steady decline in the level of housing inventory, which is most pronounced in the lower price ranges popular with first-time buyers and investors."
Even though pending sales slowed in June, the situation is much better than last year. June marks 14 consecutive months of year-over-year gains for the monthly index.
And since real estate is local, here is how each region fared:
June pending home sales index:
Northeast: fell 7.6 percent
South: fell 2 percent
Midwest: fell 0.4 percent
West: rose 2 percent

Re: axiomatic
Doesn't axiomatic mostly restrict the meaning of axiom to an accepted precept, excluding the meaning of a proverb. "It's axiomatic that we will have weather. The question is what kind of weather."

Re: axiomatic
Perry: Your use of axiomatic is one I had never thought of. I suppose I need a wider vision of the word. The root of "axiom" is something like "appropriate" in Greek but does come to us as sort of meaning "obvious". In mathematics, it is the minimal set of rules from which one may construct a complete mathematical system. They say that if one disallows the axiom of choice then one can never prove the existence of irrational numbers. I have just done a quick reviewed my fifty-five year old mathematics MS experience, and I no longer know what that means, if I ever did. In Point Set Theory class, I tried to point out that the whole thing was irrational, but my professor didn't get the joke. I think I detect a hint of a joke in William's initial comment. Keep on truckin'.

Re: axiomatic
As a philosophy major, I took a course in symbolic or mathematical logic, hoping to find new ways to reason. Instead I found GIGO before computers. Logic makes sure you aren't reasoning irrationally, but doesn't really discover anything new, since you've already included it with the input. Thus I have recently begun drafting a paper on axioms, what they are, and how you choose them. So far I'm stuck on defining words.
The other axiom is synonymous with adages as in Poor Richard.

WEST Somerset Railway plc has warned that the railway could be closed for a period if the freehold is sold elsewhere.
On Friday, Somerset County Council made the decision to dispose of the freehold at a meeting. Currently, the council own the freehold and lease the land to the plc who operate the attraction as part of the lease.
While the council will only go ahead with the sale if conditions over preservation are met, they said they are committed to making sure the railway operates as normal in the meantime.
However, the PLC has said a sale to a third party would cause disruption and could mean closure of the railway while transfers take place.
The West Somerset Railway PLC and the West Somerset Railway Association, a support charity, have both submitted bids for the freehold of the land.
A spokesperson from the PLC said: "SCC has confirmed that because of its importance to the local economy, nothing will be done to jeopardise the ongoing success of the West Somerset Railway.
"In order to avoid any possibility of closure during the transfer process orders for operating the railway must be in place at all times.
"The Light Railway Order currently vests the powers to operate a railway only with the County Council or the West Somerset Railway plc, so if the land was sold to any other third party, unnamed in the existing order, the West Somerset Railway would be closed for the running of trains until statutory powers were obtained by the new owner/operator."
The railway would not reopen until powers were obtained.
As the WSR plc is the current operator of the railway, they already hold the statutory operating rights and say a transfer to them would avoid this.
They add: "Because objections to an application for a new order by a third party would lead to uncertainty, and with a public enquiry incurring very high costs, the report stipulates that the purchaser must pay all such resulting enquiry costs.
"We look forward to working with SCC and all our partners during the due diligence process to show how the plc option provides the solution." A recommendation put forward by the council states that West Somerset Railway should remain as 'operators of the railway'.
Cllr David Huxtable, the cabinet member for resources said that there has been a lot of support of the Railways Association proposals for the freehold.
Cllr David Hall added: "The West Somerset Railway is extremely important to Somerset, attracting thousands of visitors to the area and contributing greatly to the local economy.
"It's important that the railway continues to operate as normal while any discussions over a sale take place, and we're committed to making sure that happens.
"We will now sit down and work with all interested parties to do the right thing for Somerset council taxpayers and the right thing for West Somerset Railway."
A spokesperson from the West Somerset Railway Assocation was unavailable for comment.

Are consumers interested in spending more for their milk and dairy products to help some of the nation's family dairy farms, or is the disconnect between consumers and their food too great to overcome?
For supporters of the group Keep Local Farms, their hope is that consumers will be open to paying a little more for milk, with the extra money earned going directly to participating dairies, according to the Associated Press.
The campaign is pulled from a similar movement, one that supports "fair trade" practices. Consumers are proving that they are interested in paying a higher price tag for products such as coffee and chocolate to provide workers with decent wages and sound environmental practices. Keep Local Farms hopes that this same concept could help preserve New England's dairies.
So far, six colleges and universities have signed up, including Harvard and the University of Vermont. These schools contribute 10 cents for every single-serving container of milk sold. Boston Medical Center, Ski Vermont and some of Ben & Jerry's scoop shops are also supporting the group.
Other regions of the country also have a similar program. Family Farm Defenders sell fair trade cheese in Wisconsin sold for $6 per pound, and producers who provided milk for the cheese are paid $3 for each pound sold. The group sells $30,000 to $50,000 worth of cheese annually. According to John Peck, Family Farm Defenders executive director, 30 farms are paid an estimated $500 to $1,000 each year.
The question remains: can these groups do enough to sway consumers to dig deeper into their pockets to save a shrinking industry? In Vermont alone, nearly two-thirds of the state's dairies have closed in the past 30 years because of low milk prices, and the current economic environment is no different for dairy farmers in Vermont or across the nation. Last week, the USDA announced the June's milk-feed ratio – a rough measure of dairy producer profitability – at 1.38, tying a record-low.
There is a glimmer of consumer support for dairies. After Tropical Storm Irene destroyed Vermont farms, ravaging fields and carrying away feed and livestock, people rallied around their local dairies, donating money and volunteering to help these farms rebuild. Some Vermont consumers are also willing to pay a premium on their electricity bills for renewable energy projects, with the money going to help dairy farmers buy generators that run on methane.
The program is far from new. In 2010, the "Keep Local Farms" program was developed by the Vermont Dairy Promotion Council, the New England Family Dairy Farm Cooperative (NEFDFC) and the New England Dairy Promotion Board. Read more here.

I'm interested to find out about how frequently other mums express their breast milk and whether this changed for different children you had.
I know there are a minority of mums who exclusively express (i.e. in the first 6 months feed their babies only expressed breast milk) - there's a breastfeeding story about exclusive expressing here. I take my hat off to this mum - what dedication and commitment to feeding her child the very best. What an amazing testament to motherhood.
More commonly, women may breastfeed partly from the breast and partly by expressed breast milk. Many women also exclusively breastfeed straight from the breast (removing the need to pump and removing the concern of 'nipple confusion').
What is your breastfeeding story? Did it involve expressing breast milk for any or all of your children? Around what proportion of the feeds were via expressed milk?
With my first son, I expressed a little (maybe for 1 feed in 20) during the time when I was having some difficulties breastfeeding (due to his tongue tie). With my second son, I have not expressed at all. I have had a smooth breastfeeding journey with him, and have found him easier to just pop him on the breast rather than pumping, storing milk and feeding it to him later.
Thanks for reading,

DanHero's Royal Rumble Review.
by, 01-28-2013 at 06:48 AM (8693 Views)
I always watch the pay-per-view with the same group of people, my girlfriend and two of my friends. Last night was the first time we all just sat in silence when the pay-per-view ended, and not in the good kind. Let's just go straight into this.
Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship:
Okay so the biggest problem I have here is that this match happened two weeks ago on Smackdown, for free, and it didn't do a thing to boost ratings even after WWE spoiled it. So creative's genius idea? The same match, but on pay-per-view. The match seemed to move to quickly like they had a good plan for it but then was told they want to run the Royal Rumble "numbers" promo seven times so their match is being cut short. Some good little back and forth bits with an awesome table spot that was no sold by Del Rio, he pretty laid their up until the count of six and then spun onto his feet. So the match ends with Batista at home screaming at the tv and Del Rio winning again. The reason I'm so down on this match is that if they wanted this at the Rumble why have the title change earlier in the month on Smackdown? It didn't make any sense. If anything it made it less special. Hopefully now this is the end of it and they can start giving Del Rio a rivalry with someone else.
Rating 2/5 Stars.
Big E. Langston does a weird commentator impression and I'm suddenly a fan of Big E.
Darren Young's started to steal things from internet memes? Can't wait until he busts out an Epic Rap Battle Of History.
Tag Team Championship Match, Team Hell No vs. Rhode Scholars:
This was actually a good match, I was happy with either team winning this as I'm a fan of both. If anything I would have preferred Rhode Scholars because I'd like to see Daniel Bryan fighting back into the Main Event and I have a feeling this is Kane's last year so I'd want him to have a real two month Wrestlemania build up until his swan song, this would also leave Rhode Scholars to defend against some of the other tag teams that need to have a light shone on them, the division is ready to go, Prime Time Players still need their chance to shine.
Rating: 3/5 Stars.
Recently I noticed that WWE has the best mail service in the world, they're on the road 5 days a week but yet Punk got a letter delivered to him overnight from Raw to Smackdown, and this year all 30 contestants got their entry number via mail? I want this guy to deliver my stuff.
30 Man Royal Rumble Match:
At first I'm shocked this isn't the last match, then I realise the Rock is still ahead so I'm not surprised anymore. Dolph Ziggler comes out and cuts a promo and out comes Chris Jericho. This got the biggest pop of the night from our sofa and it's awesome to see him back again, even with new weird looking tattoos. The thing with this rumble (apart from the ending) is that it was missing a lot, there was only two guest entrants in Goldust and The Godfather, while I'm happy that Wade Barrett can finally smile that Papa Shango was in the Rumble, it just seemed like there could have been so much more. We got the return of Chris Jericho as the nights top surprise but that came right at the start of the match with not much to follow it, instead we get the returns of Santino Marella, Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara. All of whom pretty much everyone over the age of ten just goes "yeah… alright." This match really could have been with 40 contestants. With the Shield, Justin Gabriel, Usos, Epico and Primo, there's 8 more entrants off the top of my head, they could have easily roped in two other surprise entrants or… just anything. The first half of the rumble was quite good but then it all went downhill when Cena joined. I don't mean that as a typical "hate on Cena" thing, but he immediately comes in and makes everyone else look weak taking them all down in a few seconds. So then we get to my biggest problem with this years rumble, the final three. Cena, Ryback and Sheamus. It was too obvious. There was no "anything could happen here" sort of thing, this was exactly the three that anyone would pick as their "I think this guy is going to win but I really want [insert name of mid card wrestler here] to win instead." While it's there to make Cena look good again it also made so many talents look wasted, Kofi Kingston was just there to do the chair spot and then go eliminated straight afterwards, several superstars like Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Antonio Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler we're fed to the main eventers in easy eliminations, and it all ended in a way that pretty much guarantee's what I've been saying for a while now. It's only "once in a lifetime" if you died in 2012. This rumble could have been so much more, this was one of the years it was hard to pick a favourite to win it because it was just too obvious Cena was going to win, they could have come out of nowhere with a new talent to win the match and just go for the World Heavyweight Championship. Cena didn't need another Rumble win. Cena doesn't need another anything, he's a well decorated superstar who should be focusing on building the future now. Instead we've got another 3 months of The Rock and Cena bickering like two seven year olds arguing over which Pokemon is the coolest.
Overall: 2/5
Rock cuts a promo. Does his usual Rock thing. Is no different to normal.
WWE Title match: CM Punk vs. The Rock.
I hated this match, I hated everything about this match, from the way CM Punk is sent out first, to the way they've given the Rock this match for no reason. The build up was excellent only because CM Punk owned the Rock at every corner, he called out the Rock and said what he was going to do every week with the Rock concert and his catch phrases, and the Rock came out and did exactly that with his fat jokes and normal bullying routine that made WWE donate another million to B.A.Star. Then we get to the match, and even after it looks like they've given Punk a way to win with the injury to Rock from the Shield, there's no way around it, it's going to happen. While it was cool to see a genuine, attitude era disregard for disqualifications with the announce table (seriously, how is putting something through that table not a disqualification?) it just continues to get ridiculous as the Rock mounts his come back and… the lights go out? Is that Dean Ambrose breathing like he's got a chainsaw instead of tonsils? DID PUNK JUST PIN THE ROCK? Oh no… wait, here comes Vince McMahon. And there we have it. 434 days of the best championship run, every single pay per view match a career highlight for everyone involved, some of the best promos and storylines in the new era, all flushed down the toilet, to the peoples elbow. My huge problem with this is that Rock / Cena 2 doesn't need a belt. It doesn't need to happen at all. And now Punk's left with nothing because WWE wants the Rock to be happy. Which will just lead to Cena winning the belt at Mania and all of Punk's change being for nothing as it goes back to 2009. There's no interesting way this can turn out for the championship, Rock hasn't been around for so long and he can instantly get a championship? He's been in movies for so long this is basically the equivalent of when WCW put the championship on David Arquette. I could rant for even longer but I won't. It was just a bad call by the WWE and it's going to really come back and bite them in the ass when everyone realises that Cena just doesn't have the crowd like he used to and it's time for someone new to be there.
Rating: 1.5/5
With only two matches before the Rumble that both left more to be desired, and a Rumble that didn't have the "anything can happen" feel to it and a main event that flushed away everything that made 2012 a good year for wrestling. If TNA was ready, this would be the moment that people jumped ship. WWE is lucky that the rival company isn't there yet. But if this was 2014 or 15, it could be a whole different story.
That's been my review, follow me on twitter @DanHarrington91 for more wrestling ramblings during the build up to Elimination Chamber.

Keppinger delivers White Sox walk-off winner in 11th
Danks sharp into seventh in season debut; Rios extends hit streak
CHICAGO -- The first pitch from John Danks during Friday's 4-3 White Sox victory over the Marlins in 11 innings registered as an 88-mph fastball outside the zone to Adeiny Hechavarria before 20,393 at U.S. Cellular Field.
Danks' last pitch stood as an 82-mph changeup laced into left for a double by Marcell Ozuna leading off the seventh inning. Everything in between for the 28-year-old southpaw was as good as could have been expected for his first Major League start since a victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field on May 19, 2012.
"Yeah, it was a good first one," said Danks of his no-decision covering six-plus innings. "I did as much as I had hoped to do."
"I'm really happy for him that he's back here and doing what he knows how to do," said White Sox catcher Hector Gimenez, who drove in a run with a fifth-inning single.
"With him coming back, it was just emotions and keeping that in check," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "I think the best part was his command going through there and doing everything he needed to do."
Danks underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder on Aug. 6, 2012. And while he put in intense and successful offseason work to get ready to break camp with the team for the 2013 campaign, he began on the disabled list to build up velocity and arm strength.
After working through numerous extended spring camp appearances and four Minor League rehab starts, Danks consistently hit in the high 80s Friday and topped out at 91 mph on his fastball. More importantly, Gimenez said that Danks was able to throw inside to both righties and lefties to help what turned out to be a very strong changeup in his season debut.
Of Danks' 76 pitches, 56 went for strikes. He fanned five, hit one and didn't issue a walk, getting touched up for Derek Dietrich's two-run homer in the fourth but not much more. So the command issue that plagued Danks during a few rehab starts was back in the zone Friday.
"Everything that we used today, we used the right way," Gimenez said. "I think we missed one spot on the home run."
"If for the rest of my career I can throw 87 to 90 [mph] and throw the ball exactly where I want to throw it for the most part, I would trade that in for 92 or 93," Danks said. "I've seen a lot of 93-mph fastballs get hit hard and a long way."
Jeff Keppinger's game-winning single to left in the 11th against Ryan Webb (1-2) brought home pinch-runner Tyler Greene and lifted the White Sox (22-24) to their seventh win in 10 games and fourth in the last five home games. Keppinger drove home another run with a fifth-inning groundout.
The White Sox appeared to have won the game in the 10th, when Alex Rios narrowly beat a would-be double play with the bases loaded, but first-base umpire Angel Hernandez ruled Rios out at first to end the inning. The White Sox stayed away from criticizing the call postgame, leaving that to their iconic and fired up television play-by-play man, Ken "Hawk" Harrelson, during the broadcast, but were happy to have fought back for the victory.
"Sometimes it gets to you, sometimes you get frustrated," said Keppinger of the missed call. "It definitely takes the wind out of your sail. But when it's all said and done, you've gotta get back out there and keep grinding."
Rios extended his career-high and current MLB-high hitting streak to 18 games, while Paul Konerko chipped in three hits to raise his average to .236. Konerko's single gave the White Sox a 3-2 lead after six, but Miami (13-35) tied the game on Miguel Olivo's seventh-inning sacrifice fly.
Fortunately for the White Sox, the Marlins' bases-loaded situations in the seventh resulted in just that one run.
"We're getting our opportunities," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "We always get a couple opportunities a game, but we're just not able to get a run in. Every time we get guys into scoring position, we ground into a double play."
"They fought hard all night," Konerko said. "Obviously, we'd like it a little bit easier, but a win's a win and we'll move to tomorrow night."
So, Danks didn't win, at least according to the scoreboard or the final box score. Having a quality individual and quality pitcher such as Danks back in action serves as victory enough for the South Siders, even without the Keppinger walk-off hit.
"He's one of the best in the business," said White Sox starter Chris Sale of his friend and rotation mate. "You don't come across people like him very often, especially the situation he's in and kind of what he is, a very down-to-earth, great guy and one of my best friends."
"From where I was in Spring Training to here, it's night and day," Danks said. "My stuff's coming, but I feel like I have plenty of stuff to compete. I'm going to go out there and hopefully give us a chance to win."

AT five years old, Logan Franco-Franklin has never uttered a single word, held his baby brother in his arms, or joined in a game of football in the playground.
But his life could be transformed thanks to a new intelligent robot designed to help children with autism interact with the world and bridge the gap between their own universe and those around them.
Logan's parents, Jess and Malcolm, were first alerted to the fact their son may not be developing as quickly as expected when a nurse raised concerns about his inability to sit up at seven months.
Three years later, after countless appointments and assessments, the little boy was diagnosed with a very rare gene deficiency, a condition that only affects 12 people in the world – including his 10-month-old brother Leo.
Side-effects of the condition include severe autism, the inability to speak, learning difficulties, excessive flapping disorder and weakened muscles.
After years struggling to give Logan as many opportunities as possible, Malcolm and Jess are now hoping to buy the £5,900 robot which could unlock Logan's ability to speak and say the words they have been waiting to hear for years – 'mummy' and 'daddy'.
"The biggest challenge facing us is communication," said Malcolm, of Fresh-brook. "Logan is completely non-verbal and cannot sign, causing frustration and severe meltdowns which take their toll on all involved.
"This robot was designed and developed by Aldebaran Robotics using NASA technologies and is also being developed as a tool to bridge the gap between an autistic child's world and our own.
"Our hope is it could help to break down the communication barrier that divides us and also help cool him down during a meltdown and to regain control."
The 41-year-old added: "It would mean so much to Jess and I as parents to one day hear Logan say mummy and daddy – that's the dream."
The robot would allow Logan to learn to respond to certain instructions, try to repeat words, mimic movements, have fun and play games and generally to better understand the world around him.
So far the family have raised nearly £2,000 at various events and received a £2,100 donation from the James Dyson Foundation. Despite a VAT exemption, which should bring down the robot's price to £4,900, they are still £800 short of their target.
Malcolm will attempt to secure the remaining sum at a 24-hour Snookerthon at Jesters Snooker Hall in Greenbridge between 9pm on Friday, August 29 and 9pm on Saturday 30 alongside friends and fellow fundraisers.
Jess, who is pregnant with the couple's third child – a girl – who will not develop the condition as only boys are affected – said: "The robot could deliver a precise message to Logan.
"When we speak we might add an intonation or use different tones that confuse children with autism without realising it. It can throw the child but that wouldn't happen with a robot.
"It would also be interactive so he could dance and sing with the robot. You could tailor-make the robot to his needs. Some children who have tried have been able to say a few words."
The 31-year-old Dyson employee added: "His only way to communicate is cry and show off and that can be really tiring sometimes and it can last all day. It would change his life."

snakeoil - Tuesday, March 03, 2009 - linkintel outsourcing atom production... its clear that intel is not making much money with the famous atom.
maybe they should outsource the core2 and corei7 manufacturing to amd's 'the foundry'. think about it, because its clear that they aren't making too much money with the core i7 (big yields,expensive to produce).

GourdFreeMan - Tuesday, March 03, 2009 - linkWill AMD and nVIDIA's graphics cards have to compete with Atom for fab space, or will they be aimed at different process nodes? I imagine TSMC might be reluctant to expand its production capacity in the short term considering the current state of the global economy... Reply
pedobosz - Monday, March 02, 2009 - linkMay Intel go the way of Atari......... soon
Von Matrices - Monday, March 02, 2009 - linkI'm still trying to figure out what the statement is implying:
"Atom will continue to grow but, especially in price sensitive applications, if it starts requiring the creation of new fabs just to meet demand for Atom then you start to eat into the profitability of the chip."
Is this implying that Atom is a money losing chip solely designed to fill excess capacity at fabs to prevent idling? (I wouldn't think so) Is this also implying that having fabs is a money-losing business - if you're not going to build one to satisfy demand, then why create them at all? Finally, if building fabs is a money-losing proposition, why would TSMC want to engage in this deal which requires expanding their production capacity? Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Tuesday, March 03, 2009 - linkIf Intel would need to build another fab to support Atom's spike in volume, it might make more sense to give it to TSMC. Especially since in the future Intel might have surplus 45nm tools to take back Atom's volume.
Some semiconductor companies that own fabs try to keep theirs at 100% and outsource the rest. Like if you bought solar cells for your house, it'd be a waste to invest in your peak wattage.
For TSMC, it's just more business, and if they have to increase capacity, they have so many customers that it will get used anyway. Reply
iwodo - Monday, March 02, 2009 - linkWith Centrino, you get the benefits from their marketing budget as long as you have pick the Intel components Requirement.
Now Intel will properly licenses some Portable Audio IP, as well as their already own PowerVR SGX IP, and some other form of IP, you can simply pick and match the best possible combination for your SoC to be Manufacture in TSMC.
You need a Home Server SoC? So you dont need Graphics, may be just an Atom with Intel Gigabit Ethernet, SATA Controller and USB Controller?
If what i said above is true. Then I think intel has solve the Fundamental problem in Embedded X86. Intel cant use few designs for all. Customer in Embedded market wants customised SoC specially for their job due to Cost and Power requirement.
So Now, how about an article comparing Atom and ARM Cortex A9 Single Core? Reply
ssj4Gogeta - Monday, March 02, 2009 - linkthank God they aren't going to manufacture anything other than Atom at TSMC. I was scared. Reply
Roy2001 - Monday, March 02, 2009 - linkYou can subscribe the SOC chip with Atom core and it is made by TSMC, which means lower price. Intel would start to compete with ARM face to face soon. Reply
Penti - Monday, March 02, 2009 - linkYou mean compete against the XScale/PXA sold to Marvell which they owned until recently? I don't really see it in the same class as ARM-based embedded systems. Intel has always been big on embedded systems though. And they will certainly continue to be with Atom. It will however as you noted compete with it's old PXA ARMs in some devices.
Great news any how that they will be fab'd by TSMC. Reply

Triggered by a question from Stefane Fermigier, I did some digging in the archives of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI).
The question was why the Dublin Core terms for different dates use different naming pattern. For example, the date when a document was created is expressed simply with
created, but the dates when one was submitted for review or accepted use an apparent variant of the hungarian notation, i.e.
dateSubmitted or
It turns out that the original set of Dublin Core metadata elements from 1998 only contained a single generic date element that was vaguely defined as follows:
date– A date associated with the creation or availability of the resource.
Then a few years later in 2000 the standard group introduced the concept of "qualifiers" for "refining" the definition of a more generic element. The following date qualifiers were specified:
created– Date of creation of the resource.
valid– Date (often a range) of validity of a resource.
available– Date (often a range) that the resource will become or did become available.
issued– Date of formal issuance (e.g., publication) of the resource.
modified– Date on which the resource was changed.
Another two years down the line, in 2002, the standards group adopts a nice change and status tracking mechanism and declares to "all legacy Elements and Element Refinements the status of Recommended". That makes tracking any further changes pretty easy.
For example, later that year two new date refinements were proposed as
submitted and
accepted. However, when accepting those proposals, the standards group adjusted the terms to
dateSubmitted and
dateAccepted to produce the following two definitions:
dateSubmitted– Date of submission of the resource.
dateAccepted– Date of acceptance of the resource.
In the end the question of why exactly a different naming pattern was used remains unclear, but the record shows that the decision to change the names was explicitly made by the standards group ten years ago. Someone closer to the DCMI group might still remember the details of that decision.

Lake Casa Blanca Toyota ShareLunker Ignites Race to 500
Entry 490 begins countdown to fish worth $500 per pound
ATHENS — It's a done deal that the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation will pay $500 per pound to the lucky angler who wins the race to Toyota ShareLunker 500.
With only 10 fish to go to get to the checkered flag, two big questions remain: Who will catch it? Where will they catch it?
Speculation about where ShareLunker 500 will come from is sure to be a topic at lakeside restaurants all over the state in the coming weeks, although all anglers will be certain they will be the one to cross the finish line with it. Will fish 500 come from Lake Fork, The Bassyard? Or Amistad, The Jewel of the Desert? Or Falcon, bass fishing's Thunder Valley?
The latest entry into the program, No. 490, came from Lake Casa Blanca, near Laredo, on March 24. Jesse Garcia-Perez of Laredo caught a new lake record 14.79-pound bass from eight to 10 feet of water using a seven-inch junebug PowerBait worm.
"Previous stockings of Florida largemouth bass, rapid growth because of a year-round growing season, plentiful forage and minimal bass fishing effort are responsible for Lake Casa Blanca producing a relatively high number of ShareLunkers," said Randy Myers, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Inland Fisheries biologist in charge of managing the lake's fishery. Casa Blanca, a 1,680-acre impoundment on the edge of Laredo, has now produced six ShareLunkers averaging 13.66 pounds. Only 12 other lakes have produced six or more ShareLunkers.
Toyota ShareLunker 490 is the fifth lake record entered into the ShareLunker program during the current season. Three of those fish came from public lakes that had never produced a ShareLunker before: Lake O' the Pines, Livingston and Lyndon B. Johnson.
Two private lakes also produced first-time entries, and two fish made the Top 50 list of big bass caught in Texas: a 16.17-pounder from Caddo Lake and a 15.61-pounder from Lake Fork.
Lakes that have produced ShareLunkers so far this season include Fork (2), Lake O' the Pines (1), Caddo (1), Purtis Creek State Park Lake (1), Lyndon B. Johnson (1), O.H. Ivie (3), Amistad (2), Austin (1), Livingston (1), Choke Canyon (1), Falcon (2) and two private lakes.
Chances are ShareLunker 500 will come from none of those, and it could well come from a lake that has never produced a 13-pound bass before. ShareLunkers have now come from 60 public lakes and more than a dozen private ones, and more are added every year.
All this prompts ShareLunker Program manager David Campbell to observe, "I believe ShareLunker 500-and the new state record, for that matter-could come from any lake in Texas."
What's your guess?
And why are you sitting there reading this when you could be out fishing?
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between October 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling program manager David Campbell at (903) 681-0550 or paging him at (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours.
For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass and a recap of last year's season, see tpwd.texas.gov/sharelunker. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.
Information on current catches, including short videos of interviews with anglers, is posted on www.facebook.com/sharelunkerprogram.
The Toyota ShareLunker Program is made possible by a grant to the Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation from Gulf States Toyota. Toyota is a long-time supporter of the Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, providing major funding for a wide variety of education, fish, parks and wildlife projects.

• grit •
Pronunciation: grit • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. Small coarse granules, as of sand. 2. In the plural (grits): sand-like granules of ground corn used in a delicious side-dish in the southern US and wherever fine cuisine is appreciated. 3. Pluck, spirit, spunk, moxie, gutsiness, gumption.
Notes: Today's Good Word is a rarity: an English word spelled exactly as it is pronounced. Enjoy! The plural of today's word refers to a characteristic dish of the Southeastern US, hulled dried corn ground into small grits, or hominy (a corruption of Virginia Algonquian appuminneonash "something ground"). Grits are boiled in water and seasoned with butter or ham gravy. They go well with shrimp creole, too.
In Play: Rooster Cogburn in Charles Portis's novel True Grit is the quintessential US character with grit in the third sense of today's Good Word. John Wayne won an academy award for his interpretation of that character on screen in 1969. The association may have come from the grit in a bird's gizzard, which is essential for its digestion. Anyway, "It takes real grit to eat a helping of Aunt Lola's grits with red-eye gravy (from salt-cured ham) and ask for a second helping."
Word History: Today's word is a distant cousin of groats, grounds, and grist, all from the verb grind or its ancestors. The original Indo-European root was *ghre(n)dh- "to grind" with a Fickle N, an N that came and went for no apparent reason. In initial position, [gh] became [f] in Latin, so its verb for "grind" was frendere. Greek khondros "granule, groats" may share the same source. For sure Lithuanian gruzti "to crush, pound" and Latvian grauds "grain" come from the same source, as does Russian skrezhetat' "to grind (the teeth)". The verb, to grit (your teeth)" still means "to grind or grate". (Prudence Pender gave us a lot of grist to grind in our word mill when she suggested today's granular Good Word.)

Navy Day Regatta results
PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania women's rowing program had a successful opening day to the 2012-13 season, taking three titles out of five classes at the Navy Day Regatta which took place Saturday on the Schuylkill River.
Penn took first in the varsity 4 field, then swept the novice 8 and novice 4 fields. The Quakers were second in the College 8 and third in the second varsity 8 field.
Penn put three boats in the fours, and the A boat took first in the 16-boat field in a time of 16:15.90. The B boat was second in 16:24.97, while the C boat was 12th overall in 17:58.11.
In the novice 8, Penn's time of 15:28.58 was well ahead of second-place Drexel (15:40.85) as well as the other five boats in the field. A total of eight boats were in the novice 4, and Penn's time of 17:03.92 dominated the field; second-place Temple was more than a minute behind, at 18:13.28.
In the varsity 8, Penn's A boat clocked 14:59.97 over the three-mile course, a time that was bested only by Navy (14:50.38). The Quakers' B boat was second in the 17-boat field, clocking 15:48.49, while the C boat was 14th in 16:27.90.
In the second varsity field, which featured 13 boats, Penn's time of 15:18.07 was beaten by Navy (winner in 14:53.19) and Drexel.
Penn returns to action next Sunday at the prestigious Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston.

Nocturnal Wonderland
Where: San Manuel Amphitheater, 2575 Glen Helen Parkway, Devore.
When: Doors open 4 p.m. and show ends at 2 a.m. Sept. 5-6; Must be age 18 and older to attend.
Tickets: Two-day pass $167; two-day VIP pass $297 (must be age 21 or older to purchase); two-day camping pass $120; three-day camping pass $165.
Information: 800-745-3000, www.livenation.com
Nocturnal Wonderland, now in its 19th year, is scheduled to feature more than 70 acts on multiple stages, art installations and roaming theatrical creatures on Sept. 5-6 at the San Manuel Amphitheater in Devore.
Acts scheduled include larger electronic dance music groups who played at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio and Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas like electro house's Martin Garrix (Sept. 5.) and electronica's The Glitch Mob (Sept. 6). There's also up-and-coming acts like Crunkstep's Crizzly (who played both this year's Electric Daisy Carnival and the Vans Warped Tour and is set for Sept. 6) as well as acts like DJ Green Lantern, who made his name as a hip-hop DJ creating mixtapes and has been an official DJ and touring director for hip-hop superstars Eminem, Nas and Jay Z.
DJ Green Lantern, whose real name James D'Agostino from Rochester, N.Y., said performing for the EDM-centric Nocturnal Wonderland event is brand new to him, but he's ready to enjoy the experience.
"It's one I've been wanting to play for a minute because of the diversity and the artists on the lineup," said D'Agostino, who is to perform Sept. 6. "I'm just so ready to rock and that's it."
He added that the placing of artists in alphabetical order for the lineup was "just being polite and politically correct," but he didn't care why it was done or the implications of it.
"Just show me to the stage bro," said D'Agostino, who is also on the The Trifecta Tour with DJ Sliink and Twrk.
Lantern said he didn't see any issues with him adapting to the Nocturnal Wonderland crowd despite his hip-hop background, which includes what is considered a classic mixtape with DJ Vlad and Dirty Harry called "Rap Phenomenon II" featuring 2Pac over a bunch of different instrumentals from hip-hop to reggae.
"Throughout my whole career I've played many different genres of music," he said. "I have worked in a bunch of different fields. What gave me the most notoriety was the hip-hop, but at the same time I have a vast love of all music. It goes with the reading the crowd thing. I have my own songs, I make my own tunes and I'll definitely play those, but coming from a DJ background, I love to make people go crazy. If it's a 78-year-old Caribbean retirement party, I'm going to rock that. Or if it's an 18-year-old candy raver crowd, I'm going to rock that crowd. With that being said, I'll make my artist statement with my own statement. I'll wrap that around the crowd there."
Insomniac Events founder Pasquale Rotella said along with making the music and visual experience as top-notch as possible for fans, he's working to make the event safer. At last year's rave in September, 22-year-old Arrel Christopher Cochon died six days after being admitted to a Los Angeles hospital. According to published reports, Cochon died after taking drugs, collapsing and suffering a seizure.
While not speaking about the incident specifically, Rotella said "we're doing everything we can" to make the event safer. He added there is a team of people called Ground Control aimed to take care of the crowd.
"They go out and they make sure people are OK. They tap them on the shoulder and they even have people to see if someone's lost their friends," Rotella said. "Something we're going to be doing is we're adding these informational cards that you can find inside our festival guide that remind guests to look out for one another and identify people that might need help."
