My father found this reel along with a very old bamboo fly rod in a small hamlet in southern ontario, close to the town of Paisley. He had this hanging up as a display feature as my parents ran a B&B for fishermen on the Saugeen River. I have always been intruiged with it and ask him where he got it and from what he told me he found it in an old run down barn. He never knew the value of it as it has no definitive markings on the outside of it. I moved to Edmonton, Alberta and he sent it to me to have and display (we are both very avid fishermen, and I actually guide in the northwest territories). I took the spool off today to look into it more and found a marking on the inside of the spool which looks like "PC", which in my mind rules it out as being an old Hardy reel which I thought it was. Interested to see if anyone can identify the markings? The reel came attached to an old bamboo rod which also has no definitive markings on it.

XLVIII: Unleash The Sizzle
We are a little less than a year out from Super Bowl XLVIII in New York/New Jersey and there's been a lot of chatter about the elements and what a big old nasty blizzard could mean for the game. Sports Business Journal reported the other day that the NFL was considering all of its foul-weather options, including the possibility of playing a day early (Super Bowl Saturday!) or pushing it forward into the week. All of that sounds quite panicky. The whole point of playing a Super Bowl in a place where foul weather could happen is that foul weather could happen. You ever hear people in Green Bay talking about moving a game to Saturday? No. Snow at a Super Bowl should be the fantasy. I appreciate that XLVIII is an enormous logistical event (like, you have to make sure power works more than half of the game!) and that we all need to be prepared. But do not deny the appeal of the obvious. Should a snowstorm whirl its way into the metro area around 6 p.m. on Feb. 2, 2014, you're going to be talking about that New York/New Jersey Super Bowl forever.
But if we're on the subject of preparedness, it's not too early to get started on the halftime entertainment. The New York Post and the Star-Ledger reported that XLVIII officials are also worried how the weather could hurt a halftime show. Hmm. I doubt that's going to diminish the pressure upon a NYNJ Super Bowl to unleash the sizzle.
That's right: I said "unleash the sizzle," like you are holding a dove and a top hat, and I'm sitting behind a desk with a cigar in the Brill Building. This city is this city and it will obviously try to top everybody's else's prior halftime act. It can't be too local—the Times Square Naked Cowboy is no go, for example. Let's consider some legitimate possibilities. Odds are strictly a goof here; do NOT wager more than two or three mortgage payments.
Bruce Springsteen (12-1): Yes, obviously, of course, I'm with you 100%: The Boss is the no-brainer, the natural, easiest crowd-pleaser. If you could book it you would book it. Chris Christie would drive him to midfield. But Springsteen did a Super Bowl not long ago—in Tampa, in 2009—and that was after a long time of being asked. Though he did a capable job, he seemed a little freaked out by the sheer absurdity of the Super Bowl experience. Bruce does not need the Super Bowl. He can sell out nine nights in the Meadowlands reading the menu from Applebee's.
Bon Jovi (5-1): Have written this before but I believe there's something perfect about a Bon Jovi halftime show at this Super Bowl; in many respects I like it better than Bruce, just for the sheer Jersey Joviosity of it, and many locals seem to agree. (An online poll in the Record asking readers their halftime pick was running 63% for Bon Jovi to 8% for Springsteen.) Jon Bon Jovi (a mega football fan) would be completely into it; he's probably practiced the entire halftime show in his bathroom mirror.
Jay-Z (2-1): Shawn Carter is 43, the emperor of modern hip-hop, but he'd still be seen as a fresher choice than Springsteen or Bon Jovi.
The Super Bowl halftime has had hip-hop artists but never a solo hip-hop headliner, so there's history to be made there, and Carter has lots of experience playing major events—Glastonbury, etc. You will get the signature moment with Carter's anthem "Empire State of Mind." Alicia Keys comes free. Plus there's Mrs. Carter, who knows a thing or two about the halftime show. Just have a feeling it comes together for Jay-Z; a year out, he's probably the favorite.
Billy Joel (20-1): Joel is an excellent performer; he does have the hits; your Mom still has three of his CDs on heavy circulation in her Camry; everybody loves "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant." Give him an outside shot. Though we'd have to get it in writing that he won't play "We Didn't Start the Fire."
Lady Gaga (12-1): A New Yorker! Modern edgysuperstar! A sports fan!
But…on the DL currently with an injured hip. Just had to cancel the remainder of her tour. Might not be ready for a halftime show. But should be ready to sign long-term deal with Yankees.
Lou Reed (200-1): I don't think this is a realistic possibility but would be worth it just for the crabby news conference.
Talking Heads (800-1): If Roger Goodell reunited the Talking Heads all would be forgiven forever. David Byrne could ride his bike through the Lincoln Tunnel.
Wu-Tang Clan (70-1): Legends. Plus, if you put all of their ages together they are as old as the Who.
Justin Timberlake (5-1): Part of me feels that the NYNJ Super Bowl just bags any attempt to regionalize and goes for the biggest star it can find. Timberlake is close. Of course he was involved in the Janet Jackson fiasco but nobody cares about that anymore except for seven or eight people who eat cold oatmeal for lunch and yell at trees.
Beyoncé (1,000-1): You ate at Chipotle three times this week. You can handle two Beyoncé Super Bowls in a row.
I think the pick comes from the above list. Maybe the Eagles? There, I said it. Maybe the Eagles. Maybe it's some kind of all-star smush-together; Bon Jovi and Springsteen have performed together; Jay-Z and Springsteen campaigned together during President Obama's re-election. What about Billy Joel and Gaga? OK probably not Billy Joel and Gaga.
They will work it out. It will probably be cold and it will probably be fine. Except for this: It's too bad it couldn't have been the Ramones. The Ramones Super Bowl halftime show. That would have been amazing.

ROBINS boss Alun Rossiter has challenged Simon Gustafsson to deliver in front of the home crowd following his impressive display at Eastbourne on Saturday night.
The Swede scored 15 points at the home of his parent club as the Robins slumped to a 54-37 defeat, earning himself more time to prove he deserves to hang onto his team place at Blunsdon.
However, boss Rossiter and rider Gustafsson are equally as aware that he must deliver at home and away if he is to ensure he remains a vital cog in the Robins' system.
"It was always going to be a hard night for us but the big positive has to be that we could have seen Simon kick-start his season," he said.
"He'd been struggling a little but he seemed like a different rider at times out there. He brought his girlfriend over for this and that really seemed to help and he should be going into Monday with bags of confidence.
"That's the rider I thought I had brought to Swindon and I hadn't even been close to seeing that, aside from maybe one meeting. Again, he should be beating the draft riders and he beat good riders on Saturday which is a real positive.
"He knows he needs to do it at all the tracks and hopefully he can do that on Monday night in front of the cameras."
The Robins were victorious when the Aces first visited Blunsdon this season but Rossiter knows Matej Zagar is unlikely to endure as poor a night as he did when he only managed four on April 10.
"They had a couple of riders who weren't firing before but we need to make sure we're on our game and we have no slip ups," he said.
"We're on the TV and we really want to put on a good show in front of the cameras but it would be great to see a big crowd come out too.
"The weather's looking good and it should be a really good meeting."
The track shop on turn one at the Abbey Stadium will be open this evening, stocked with new merchandise including plenty many for children.

We would be up 15 if we could get to the free throw line. 5 ft attempts so far, compared to 16 by cleveland.
Also, if we didn't have nine turnovers. 13 assists, 9 TOs - not so great.
True. At least they have 9 TOs as well. Kinda evens things out.

You know what this means....... only 1 pre-season game left!!!!! And this win guaranteed a winning record in the preseason. The 31st can't come soon enough!!!!
OJ is like a worse version of AJ Price.
Lol, anything is possible I guess. Slick made it sound like Granger looked really dialed in though, perhaps there is something to Vogel saying Granger looked sharper than he did all of last season. Hopefully Granger avoids an early season slump. If he does he may well join Roy back in the All-Star game.

This February saw the launch of the latest edition of MR PORTER's Trends, our biannual look at what the fashion pack will be wearing this coming season. With winter yet to relinquish its icy grip on many parts of the northern hemisphere, some of these predictions - sandals, tailored shorts and bucket hats, to name a few - might have come a little prematurely. Others, though, seem to be gaining traction as we take the first tentative steps towards spring. In the four weeks of February we've seen Mr Ryan Reynolds in a varsity jacket, Mr Dominic Cooper in monochrome and Mr Tinie Tempah in an ivory dinner jacket - a nod to this season's trend for neutral shades. That's not to suggest that last month was just about showcasing the latest in menswear, though - as Mr Bradley Cooper proved, sometimes you just can't beat the classics.
Read about our spring trends here, or click through the gallery, above, to see who we think dressed best this February.

APTOS - A 74-year-old Redwood City man whose body was found earlier this week after he went missing from an Aptos Hills retreat center died from hypothermia and exposure to the elements, Santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputies said.
George Earl Sliter was reported missing Sunday after he didn't attend a 9:15 a.m. service at the Monte Toyon retreat center off Cathedral Drive. Sliter had been at the center with a group of church friends from the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Redwood City.
Sliter's body was found Tuesday morning at the bottom of a ravine above Cabrillo College, near the 600 block of Hudson Lane.
Deputy April Skalland said Thursday that autopsy results determined Sliter died from hypothermia and exposure.
Sliter was married, authorities reported earlier this week, and he had a daughter and five sons, according to daughter Lauren Sliter.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated how many children Geroge Sliter had. This version has been updated to reflect he had five sons and one daughter.

'Word in NHL circles yesterday was that Sabres players and employees have been angry for some time about the collapse of Adelphia Business Solutions. It was a telecommunications spinoff of Adelphia Communications, known as ABIZ, and its shares sold for about $6 shortly after the company was formed in 1998. Players and staff with the Sabres invested heavily in the company, and shares climbed as high as $70 in early 2000. But the company was caught in the dot-com meltdown, and by last week, when it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the shares were trading for 4 cents. Some players made money on ABIZ shares, generally those who sold out when they were traded by the team, but NHL sources said others lost tens of thousands of dollars, if not more.'

Pagan's return will reunite Opening Day OFs
MILWAUKEE -- The Giants' Opening Day outfield could reunite before the end of the week. First, they must certify that Angel Pagan's healthy and that Michael Morse is ready -- and that Hunter Pence stays hot.
Manager Bruce Bochy said on Tuesday that Pagan, who's expected to play nine innings for the second game in a row with Triple-A Fresno on a Minor League injury rehabilitation assignment, could rejoin the team as early as Wednesday. But Bochy wasn't certain whether Pagan, who's striving to overcome a back injury, would be immediately activated from the disabled list.
Morse was out of the lineup for the second game in a row, despite his fine career numbers at Miller Park (.475, 16-for-37, six home runs, 18 RBIs). The left fielder has one extra-base hit in his last 13 games, prompting Bochy to give Morse a "mental" break.
"I think he has been trying to hit the long ball a little too much," Bochy said. "We've got to help remind him that we're in this position because of a lot of his help. At times, he was carrying us with big hits -- not just home runs, but big hits. He's just got to back off, relax a little bit and have some fun with this."
Bochy said that Pence, who frequently has batted leadoff in Pagan's absence, will return to the No. 2 spot once the center fielder and leadoff hitter returns.
Meanwhile, Pence has been swinging like a cleanup hitter. Each of his six hits in the Giants' preceding series at New York went for extra bases (two doubles, two triples, two home runs). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last Giant to accumulate multiple extra-base hits in all three categories within one series was Dusty Rhodes, who did so during a four-game series in August 1954 at St. Louis.

The Texas Master Naturalist program, with 41 chapters located across the state, aims to develop a corps of well-informed citizen volunteers who educate their communities about the management of natural resources. The main qualification needed to become a Certified Texas Master Naturalist is an interest in learning and playing an active part in conservation. Volunteers will receive a minimum of 40 hours training from educators and specialists from places such as universities, natural resource agencies, nature centers and museums. Training topics include interpretation and management of natural resources, ecological concepts, eco-regions in Texas and natural systems management.

MOORE, Okla. - Students from a suburban Oklahoma City elementary school destroyed by this week's tornado reunited with their teachers Thursday and collected whatever could be salvaged from the ruins.
Some children carried thank-you cards. A first-grader was eager to see her favorite gym teacher and for a chance to say goodbye for the school year.
It was one of many difficult goodbyes for the city of Moore. Family and friends attended the funeral of a 9-year-old girl who died at Plaza Towers Elementary School - the first since Monday's storm, which killed 24 people.
Students who survived the storm's onslaught at the school and those whose parents had pulled them out of class just before it hit gathered with their teachers at another Moore school that wasn't damaged. Seven children died at Plaza Towers.
Authorities kept journalists at a distance, but Cheryle Dixon, a grandmother of first-grader Crisily Dixon, talked to a reporter about how hard it was for the little girl.
"A lot of tears, a lot of worry about her gym teacher, a lot of worry about a lot of the teachers that she knew, so she just can't believe it," Dixon said.
The father of 7-year-old Crisily had picked her up an hour before the tornado struck when he learned the severity of the approaching storm - a top-of-the-scale EF5 that was on the ground for 40 minutes, according to the National Severe Storm Lab in Norman.
The police and the Mayor's Office in Oklahoma City both estimate that around 12,000 homes were damaged and destroyed by the storm in the city and to the south in Moore.
After the disaster, when Crisily saw pictures on the news of a car in the hallway that leads to her classroom, "her little face, she just turned pale," Dixon said.
At the same time, Dixon said her granddaughter was looking ahead to second grade in the fall and was hoping a book she needed was fished out of the school's ruins.
"She said, 'What about my book - what about my book? I'm supposed to have it for next year,' " the grandmother said, her eyes filling with tears. "She said, 'I'm supposed to take it to second grade. It was in my desk.' "
Moore schools Superintendent Susan Pierce said Plaza Towers and Briarwood Elementary schools will be rebuilt. Briarwood was heavily damaged, but no one was killed there.
"And we will reopen and we will have school in August," she said.
Also headed to Thursday's reunion of classmates and students was Carly Ramirez, who held her 4-year-old daughter, Kamrin, in her arms. The small, ponytailed brunette shyly buried her face in her mother's neck, tightly holding two thank-you cards she planned to give her teachers.
In each envelope were two notes: One from Kamrin and one from her mother.
Kamrin also was not at Plaza Towers when the storm hit, having already left her morning preschool class. She rode out the storm in a shelter at her grandfather's home.
The main reason they came, though, Ramirez said was so that Kamrin could see with her own eyes that all her teachers had emerged from the school alive.
"She's asked about her teacher and her book buddy, which is a fifth-grader that goes to the library with her on Wednesdays," Ramirez said.
Gov. Mary Fallin said that as the removal of mountains of debris begins, "we are also in a stage of healing." A public memorial service would be held Sunday night at a church, she said.

It was a beautiful mid summer day; the perfect time for a lobster bake. We love lobster. We love everything about it. The butter, the mess, the meat, EVERYTHING. With that in mind we headed for Stuart's Seafood Shop in Amagansett for a few beauties that were sure to please the crowd. They offered them as part of their ToGo clambakes (with lobster, corn, potatoes, mussels, clams, and whatever else you want them to throw in) but we decided to cook them at home since J had a new recipe he had been working on.
A few may have gotten away to become Liam's new pets but we had to disappoint him later. There was no way we could let these miss the pot. I am a simple Long Island girl and we like our lobster just like that… simple. Lobster. Steam. Butter. That's it. But J had been wanting to try it his way and he thought he had the lobster perfected:
5 minutes in a steam bath on the stove
While they are cooling enough to touch make the butter / basting
Real Irish Butter
Fresh minced garlic
Fresh basil stolen from Chef Bruce's back deck
Salt & pepper (a little Franks red hot for us)
Brown a little butter then toss in the garlic and shallots (medium high heat)
Once they are translucent toss in the rest of the butter and all of the basil (chiffenate)
Lower heat – Salt and pepper to your liking
Set aside enough for dipping then leave the rest on the heat
Split the body in two
Remove the claws and knuckles
Place claws and knuckles on grill covered with a pan or tinfoil for 5 minutes
Move them to the top rack turning them over and cover again
Grill the split lobster meat side down for 5 minutes
Flip meat side up, baste with butter THEN start the 5 minute timer
These were some of the best lobsters we have ever had; even my picky parents thought it was an improvement upon perfection.
We then decided that we had to top off our tanks with a little ice cream. Our favorite of course is John's Drive In in Montauk. All the ice cream is homemade with flavors like Cherry Pistachio and Espresso chip, two of our favorites. It's a little crazy there in the summer with a line around the building but it is so good and reasonable. It was an exceptional night.

The verdict is in. The "colonoscopy or bust" approach isn't cutting it in Humboldt and Del Norte counties, but a risk-free, inexpensive test that can be done at home could be the answer to reversing a colon cancer rate that is among the worst in the state.
That's the hope of Aligning Forces Humboldt, which is based in the California Center for Rural Policy at Humboldt State. It teamed with the Community Health Alliance of Humboldt-Del Norte to get a $65,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The grant helped to launch a four-month campaign last October to raise public awareness about the need for colon cancer screening and the availability of the immunochemical fecal occult blood test -- iFOBT.
It's the hope of Eureka Internal Medicine, which was selected by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement to locally pilot information about three evidence-based colorectal screening tests and a website dedicated to colorectal screening info: http://gutcheck.nci.nih.gov.
It's also the hope of Anthem Blue Cross and the California Public Employees Retirement System. Last month, they sent the author of this column and another 39,999 CalPERS members its version of the iFOBT, a colorectal cancer screening kit from Quest Diagnostics called InSure FIT. The test can be done in the privacy of home. No muss, no fuss -- and in the CalPERS pilot, no visit to the doctor's office or elsewhere to pick up what costs anyone else $10.
All that's required is the ability to read and follow simple directions, five seconds of swabbing the stool in the toilet with an extended-handle brush, then dabbing the brush on a test card. The results will be mailed back three weeks after dropping it in the mail with pre-paid postage.
Colon cancer screening was never so easy. Even so, Anthem is only projecting a response rate of 3 to 6 percent, spokesperson Darrel Ng stated in an e-mail.
Results from Kaiser Permanente promise a better response over time. For the past several years, KP has sent fecal immunochemical testing kits to every KP member's home who should be screened. In Southern California in 2010, 70 percent of privately insured Kaiser Permanente members in the target group were tested, as were 84 percent of those on Medicare, said Joanne Schottinger, the assistant medical director for quality at KP, in a report by Kaiser Health News.
That's significantly higher than the 59 percent nationwide who were up to date with screening in 2010. About 50,000 Americans die each year from colorectal cancer, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates as many as 60 percent of those deaths could be prevented if those age 50 and older were screened.
The iFOBT is one of three screening measures recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services and Task Force, but few people have made use of it, perhaps because they don't know about it. The home test looks for invisible blood in the stool, which can be a sign of a growth, polyp or cancer in the colon or rectum. It is recommended annually.
If blood is found, a colonoscopy is scheduled for a follow-up.
A colonoscopy is recommended every 10 years beginning at age 50, costs $1,500 to $3,000 before insurance, involves a day or two of prep time, sedation and some risk. Gut Check at the National Institutes of Health defines the risk of excessive bleeding at 1 in 100 people who have polyps removed and a bowel tear at 1 in 1,000. It is not recommended for people age 75 and older.
Flexible sigmoidoscopy is recommended every five years, According to Gut Check, it requires milder prep and no sedation or recovery, carries a 1 in 10,000 risk of excessive bleeding, and costs $500 to $750 before insurance.
The latter two are invasive. The first is not. With the newer versions of the stool test now available, it has far less of an "ooh" factor than changing a diaper or cleaning the litter box.
Most people with precancerous polyps or early colorectal cancer don't have symptoms, which is why screening can have such an impact. From 2003 to 2007, the California Cancer Registry tags Humboldt and Del Norte counties with an age-adjusted rate of 53.01 cases of colorectal cancer per 100,000 people. That was the state's worst.
Two years later, the rate improved to 48.25, leaving Humboldt and Del Norte with the state's fifth-worst rate.
A survey of the local patient population by the Humboldt-Del Norte Independent Practice Association found that in 2009, only 52 percent of patients were screened and colonoscopy was the screening choice 85 percent of the time.
"Our apparent community standard suggests that only colonoscopy is worthwhile to pursue, and the nearly half of the patients who decline to be scoped for either financial reasons or simple dread of the procedure perhaps are not being offered the far less costly or invasive FOBT alternative," wrote Dr. Alan Glaseroff in a three-page report available online at http://aligningforceshumboldt.org. "Rather, patients who refuse to schedule a colonoscopy are frequently marked down as 'declines screening.'"
FOBT, the precursor to the more sensitive and easier to do iFOBT, was the choice 12 percent of the time and flexible sigmoidoscopy came in at 3 percent.
"Most likely, there is a strongly held belief that colonoscopy is the 'gold standard,'" Glaseroff said. "The general public (and apparently the medical community as well) views colonoscopy as synonymous with colon-cancer screening in much the same way Xerox is synonymous with copier."
Katie Couric is widely credited for raising awareness of colon cancer. She underwent a colonoscopy on national television after losing her husband to a cancer that is the third most common in the U.S. and the second deadliest.
"We looked at the different conditions in our community and focused on colon cancer as the one we could change by getting information out about the three tests," said Jessica Osborne-Stafsnes, project manager for patient engagement at Aligning Forces Humboldt. "When we started our focus groups, what we heard time and again was people didn't even know the home test existed."
It does. It's easy. Done annually, it's effective.
Get screened. Now.
Area 1 Agency on Aging commissions Carol Harrison to produce Gray Matters every two weeks.

Hundreds gathered at the Astoria World Manor to fete distinguished guests at the Queens Pride Committee's 20th annual Winter Pride event.
The January 26 gala, which honored Congressmember Grace Meng, Dr. Marjorie Hill and Out Astoria, raised funds to support the Queens Lesbian and Gay Pride Parade and Multi-Cultural Festival as well as a film series and other events aimed at increasing the visibility of the LGBT community in Queens.
Public figures in attendance included City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Comptroller John Liu, and councilmembers Jimmy Van Bramer and Daniel Dromm, who founded the Queens Pride Committee two decades ago.
"Twenty years of Winter Pride celebrations in Queens have helped to build a strong lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) movement in the borough," said Dromm. "When I first started this celebration only one or two elected officials attended. Now it has become the most important 'political' non-political event."

text: Capital riding high By Rick Ryan November 8, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- With the successful past it inherited, it's kind of hard to believe that Capital's the program short on postseason experience for tonight's first-round playoff game against Musselman.Kickoff between the No. 7 seed Cougars (7-3) and No. 10 Applemen (7-3) is set for 7:30 at Laidley Field.Capital, formed in 1989 with the consolidation of Charleston and Stonewall Jackson, accounts for 10 Class AAA championships - three of its own, five by CHS and two by Stonewall.But the Cougars didn't make the playoffs last year, and only sport two players who have ever started a postseason game - senior safety Davon Tyson and junior running back-defensive back James Richmond. Musselman, by comparison, is a senior-dominated squad that appears in the postseason for a second straight year.Still, Capital coach Jon Carpenter doesn't expect his youthful squad to be overwhelmed by the whole experience."The biggest change for them this week is [the end of] daylight saving time,'' Carpenter said. "It gets dark at practice now. That's the first thing they noticed this week, but they got over it."Davon and some of those guys who have been here a while, they see that it's going to be over before long, and they've been telling the other kids don't take it for granted. They've had that conversation with them: Enjoy this, because you never know when you're going to be back.''The work-in-progress Cougars are certainly riding a high the last month, as they closed the regular season with victories over George Washington, Woodrow Wilson and Huntington - three AAA playoff teams that were all ranked in the top 10 at the time of the game. Those wins shot the Cougars from 19th to seventh in the ratings and gave them a home playoff game."They've been grounded,'' Carpenter said of this players. "We've had good practices, and that's the barometer for how they respond - how well they'll come out and practice. Coaches like practice players. They've come out and worked hard all week, and that's been a good sign.'' Musselman isn't shy of experience anywhere, not even in the coaching position, as Denny Price, the all-time career wins leader in West Virginia, walks the sideline with the Applemen for a 40th season.His team has been able to put a lot of points on the board, scoring 41 or more six times, which could indicate a shootout against a Capital squad that's tallied at least 35 points seven times.However, Musselman's season also includes an inexplicable 73-0 wipeout loss against Martinsburg, the two-time defending AAA champ. Martinsburg is the only one of Musselman's seven in-state opponents that made the playoffs this year."Obviously, Martinsburg's a different cat,'' Price said. "They're good, and they've been good for a while. They put it on us pretty good. Other than that, our offense has done a pretty good job throughout the year."It's just that we've been more balanced this year than in the past. We're capable of throwing the ball fairly effectively and we have a couple of nice running backs. Most of our kids played as sophomores and juniors. We have a lot of seniors in the lineup, particularly the skill-position players, and that's helped us.''Quarterback Caleb Dembeck (1,944 yards, 25 touchdowns) is a senior, as are running backs Josh Ferguson (1,067 yards, 14 TDs) and Maverick Keller (547 yards, six TDs). Top receivers include senior Darren Zombro and junior Trevon Wesco. For Capital, versatile sophomore Kashuan Haley is expected to play after suffering an ankle injury last week that limited his practice time.Reach Rick Ryan at 304-348-5175 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Little Lake Fire District has begun a final push to secure a new firehouse, expecting to be ready to go out for bid in February.
Representatives from the Little Lake Fire District met with its architect and US Department of Agriculture Rural Development on November 28 to kickoff the financing for a new firehouse.
The district has been saving about $100,000 annually towards the new firehouse from its operating funds and it has raised about $130,000 from donations and fundraisers as well. To date the district has set aside more than $500,000. The firehouse has been estimated at $2.5-$3 million. The district's 2012 revenues are $916,000, according to its budget.
The district's current financing strategy is to borrow the needed funds through a 40-year loan guaranteed by the USDA. While the district charter limits loan obligations to 10 years, through a Certificate of Participation financial instrument the district can extend this period through a loan/lease process.
This is similar to the method used recently by Brooktrails Township to pay for the Lake Emily dam modifications over time.
The USDA funding process may take up to a year to complete. The interest rate through the USDA is currently 4.5 percent annually for low-income areas, and the rate is adjusted periodically based on current treasury rates.
The district is proceeding with the final architectural drawings in anticipation of going out to bid in February.
Past project estimates have been near the maximum the district believes it can afford, even with a 40 year loan, according to Fire Chief Carl Magann. Once the actual construction costs are firmed up, the district will then decide whether it can afford to continue with the loan process.

A look at the latest releases, plus what's new in paperback.
By Kate Whiting
New fiction
Havisham by Ronald Frame is published in hardback by Faber and Faber, priced £16.99 (£9.99 ebook). Available now.
Fans of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations will find Ronald Frame's new novel a must-read.
Starting with her early life, it tells the story of Catherine Havisham's privileged upbringing, from the moment she was born to the events that led her to become one of literature's most famous spinsters.
During her early home life, she lives with constant reminders of her family's business, and the good name the Havisham brewery has gained.
But it is when she is sent by her father to stay with the Chadwycks that she really discovers life's riches and all the things she has been kept from.
Has this fresh awakening come too late? And how will the arrival of love in her life toy with her heart and threaten the very name - Havisham?
Frame masterfully unlocks the untold story of one of Dickens's most famous and iconic characters.
(Review by Philip Robinson)
The Gingerbread House by Carin Gerhardsen is published in hardback by Stockholm Text, priced £12.99 (ebook £6.99). Available now.
This is the first novel from the six-part Hammarby Series, published by the same team that introduced Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to readers across the world.
Author Carin Gerhardsen weaves a complex tale that confuses and teases the reader throughout. It's a dark crime novel that bounces between the intense bullying that the murderer was subjected to at a formative age and the constant game of catch-up for the Stockholm-based team of investigators.
Detective Chief Inspector Conny Sjoberg is brought in when a dead body is discovered by an elderly woman. Soon the body count starts to rise, with no apparent way to link them.
Slowly the team members start to put the pieces together in a story that benefits from being read in one or two long sittings.

Happily Ever After by Harriet Evans is published in paperback by HarperCollins, priced £6.99. Available November 22.
Young twenty-something female, just the right degree of ever-so-slightly socially awkward, moves to the big city to pursue a career in publishing, cue an inappropriate romance with her boss and all the inevitable heartache that follows.
At first glance, Harriet Evans ticks all the cliche chick-lit boxes - and she knows it. But what sets this book apart is that Evans doesn't use the cringey social moment and the handsome-cad-Vs-nice-bloke dilemma as mere superficial stepping stones in a predictable plot.
Central character Eleanor Bee is a multi-dimensional woman who undergoes a massive, emotional transformation throughout the book. Rather than being the be-all and end-all of the story, her relationship and work ups and downs represent phases of her personal journey.
Evans balances the grittier aspects of her novel with extremely relatable events and emotions, making it an absorbing and empathetic read.

Napoleon Symphony by Anthony Burgess is published in a new edition by Serpent's Tail, priced £12.99 (hardback and ebook) Available now.
Best known for A Clockwork Orange, the late Anthony Burgess wrote dozens of other books and was also a composer.
In this reprinted 1974 novel, he combines both strains of his work, attempting to fit a picaresque portrait of the eponymous Corsican tyrant to the structure of Beethoven's Eroica.
His own afterword (one of several sections in rather wearing verse) freely admits that he has not been wholly successful.
Mostly, though, the sheer verve and delight in language, which was always Burgess's special gift, carries him through.
The speeches are sometimes too self-aware, the variations in style rushed, but Napoleon Symphony never claimed to be a realistic historical novel, and it's not as if those are in short supply.
One learns something here of how Bonaparte's rise and fall must have felt, to his contemporaries and perhaps to the despot himself; mainly, though, one relishes Burgess's delight in his game.

Brooklyn Heights by Miral al-Tahawy is published in paperback by Faber and Faber, priced £12.99 (ebook £10.99) Available now.
Egyptian author Miral al-Tahawy, the assistant professor in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature at Appalachian State University in North Carolina, is well known for her previous novels including Gazelle Tracks, but Brooklyn Heights is the first to be published in English.
An Arabic teacher emigrates to the United States from Cairo with her son after the breakdown of her marriage, and arrives amid the tumult of hope during the 2008 presidential election.
In Brooklyn, she dreams of fulfilling her ambition of being a writer and finding love - but her voyage of discovery isn't all that successful as her experiences of home clash with Western sensibilities, and her son begins to grow apart from her.
Al-Tahawy deftly reveals the troubled integration of an immigrant into a Western country, exposing the familiar and unfamiliar dreams that relocation brings, but all the time focusing on her humanity.

Children's book of the week:
Safari: A Photicular Book by Carol Kaufmann (created by Dan Kainen) is published in hardback by Workman, priced £16.99. Available now.
Everyone who's been anywhere near my desk over the last month has not failed to stop and look at this book, which is always a good sign of something extraordinary.
Safari uses unique Photicular technology to create images of animals that move when you turn the page. From the cheetah on the cover, who races in slow-mo, then speeds up when you open the page faster, to the gorilla who chomps away, the elephant who flaps his ears and the baby zebra who trots and nods his head, Safari brings to life Africa's best-loved creatures.
Each of the eight animals is described, with a fact box charting details including their life span and top land speed. It's truly magical and will delight children young and old for years.

These Wonderful Rumours! A Young Schoolteacher's Wartime Diaries by May Smith is published by Virago, priced £14.99. Available now.
Schoolteacher May Smith is 24 and living with her parents in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, when the Second World War is declared.
Her diary begins during the Christmas of 1938, where we see Smith and her family enjoy their festive dinner and exchange gifts amid rumours of an impending war.
As months progress, it all starts to change - evacuees arrive in the village, nights are shaken by shrieks of the sirens, and young men leave the comfort of their homes to fight for their country.
But despite the rationing of food and clothes and other changes brought on by war, everyday life prevails. Smith still enjoys shopping for new clothes and hats (funds permitting), tennis parties, 'flicks' and dancing.
Well written, witty and absorbing, Smith's chronicles give us an insight into the life and impact of the war in a small English village.
Her memoirs are a testament to how the people living in Britain braved the gloom, uncertainty and heartbreak brought on by the Second World War.

Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks is published in hardback by Picador, priced £18.99. Available now.
Have you ever glimpsed something out of the corner of your eye, or thought you'd seen a ghost, or maybe a UFO? Perhaps you've heard or smelt something that wasn't there. If so, chances are you weren't imagining, you were hallucinating. According to neurologist Oliver Sacks, such a thing is surprisingly commonplace.
In his latest study, we learn of the various forms of hallucinations, from harmless fleeting visions, odours, or sounds, to all-out perception-engrossing mirages.
Sacks describes these through multiple case studies and personal anecdotes, mapping the brain's activities while doing so.
He illustrates how sufferers of narcolepsy, Parkinson's and insomnia as well as the blind and drug users observe hallucinations, and why some people find or lose divinity from their 'visions'.
An enthralling, often guiltily comical insight into the peculiarities the brain can conjure, which leaves you questioning your own sense of reality.

Lord Of The Isle: The Extravagant Life And Times Of Colin Tennant - Lord Glenconner by Nicholas Courtney is published in hardback by Bene Factum, priced £20. Available now.
In a world that appears preoccupied with anything remotely connected to celebrity, the story of one of the world's most exclusive sunshine retreats should be a surefire winner.
Add in the royal connection with Princess Margaret, the Duchess of Cambridge of her day, and the tale of Colin Tennant and his ownership of the Caribbean island of Mustique, this book certainly has enough to satisfy the appetite of even the most voracious OK! reader.
Author Nicholas Courtney was a friend and employee of the late Lord who started collaborating on this work before his death.
Courtney has penned several successful non-fiction works but his rather dry style is not really suited to a tale which promises but does not deliver a full serving of the life and times of an eccentric Scottish nobleman whose friends included Mick Jagger and David Bowie.
(Review by Roddy Brooks)
From Germany To Germany: Diary 1990 by Gunter Grass is published in paperback by Harvill Secker, priced £15.99. Available now.
Nobel laureate Gunter Grass is a world renowned German novelist, poet, playwright and illustrator. His literary career reflects his left-wing ideals, and this rare personal journal was released in 2009 to commemorate 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Now skilfully translated into English by Krishna Winston, the diary peeks into the mind of a man at the centre of a Germany heading towards reunification, a path Grass was strongly opposed to.
Littered with sketches and conceptual ideas for his next novel, The Call Of The Toad, the diary offers a fascinating year in the company of a literary powerhouse.
The year of 1990 saw Grass splitting his time between political arguments, constant travel, family relationships and an evident passion for cookery and gardening.
Twenty years on, much of Gras''s debates have been played out and, therefore, his arguments don't inspire.
While the text proves a great resource to readers with an interest in German politics, or aspiring authors, it is not accessible for the layperson hoping to dip into German history.
(Review by Angela Johnson)
Around India In 80 Trains by Monisha Rajesh is published in paperback by Nicholas Brealey, priced £10.99. Available now.
It's rare that a debut by an unknown travel writer gains praise from the literary great and good, which is some indication that this book - already dubbed "one to watch" by Conde Nast Traveller and "witty" by William Dalrymple - is something pretty special.
Taking her inspiration from Jules Verne, Monisha Rajesh sets off to cross great swathes of the South Indian rail network, writing the landscape with bright daubs of colourful description.
Her will-they-won't-they relationship with her louche photographer companion, known just as "Passpartout", adds another tier to the travelogue, as the physical challenges of travel through a swiftly changing India are accompanied by questions of a spiritual nature.
Amusing and thoughtful by turns, Rajesh has sidestepped the navel-gazing pitfall common to many wannabe travel writers and piped up with an informative, yet fresh and engaging voice that we will surely be hearing more of.

I can be a bit dense when it comes to understanding simple key points. Up until reading this line, I was under the impression that the hips (which drive the shoulders) start moving to open once you get your elbow up. If I understand this correctly, it should be the other way around.. So I get the elbow out, start the chop, then engage the hips to get that late acceleration? It makes sense now; if I start my rotating the hips before the arm extends I'm at the end of the power generated from the hips and actually slowing down so it's all arm at that point. It somewhat reminds me of engaging on a push putt. When I'm on and feeling it, there is a distinct feeling where I am almost passive until the disc starts to move on it's own at which time I actively spit it out of my hand onto a conveyor belt straight to the basket. If my timing is off and I try to engage the disc prior to it's own weight shift it comes up short or I arm it and it goes right.

Town of Washington bereft after sudden death
February 2, 2014
The sudden death of one of the town of Washington's leading luminaries continues to reverberate through the hamlet perched on a picturesque platform above the South Yuba River.
Don Owen Edgman, 59, owner of the Washington General Store, died unexpectedly on Jan. 23 from unknown causes, leaving his fellow townsmen stricken with grief and wondering what they will do without the only operating store in the municipality.
"Today is our last day open," said Lori Redmon, a clerk at the general store, on Thursday. "We have to shut down, and this store has never been shut down. The whole town depends on this store."
Christopher Bigler, a resident of Washington, said the store provides most residents with everything.
"It's where we get milk, bread, other food and even fuses and water pumps," he said. "Now, we have to go to Grass Valley. I don't have a car, so I will have to either give somebody some money or put my thumb out."
While many residents are fretting about the impact on their everyday living habits, most people are more concerned with mourning one of the most popular fixtures in Washington.

"Everybody liked him," said Henry DeCorte, proprietor of the Washington Hotel. "He was a very likeable man; he didn't have an enemy in this town."
Edgman was the president of the town water board and was always willing to help out residents with various problems and issues, Redmon said.
"He was a father figure to everyone in this town," she said. "If you needed help with a couple of bucks till payday or some special orders, we would be there."
Edgman bought the general store in 2006. He grew up in Oakland and visited the general store in the small foothill town as a child, as his family would camp in the campground along the banks of the Yuba.
Edgman was dedicated to "the little town of Washington," as he called it.
"I always promote the town first, because what's good for the town is good for the store," Edgman told The Union in 2010. "The town comes first, and the store comes second."
Edgman bought the store as the entire country hung on the brink of a severe economic recession, and he, like most businessmen, felt the pinch through the tough times. But he remained steadfast in his pledge to retain the historic charm of one of the town's centerpieces.
"I knew this was a little country store, and I didn't want to be the guy who changed everything," he said. "When a place like this has been going for at least 100 years, the system's pretty much in place. It's a place where you can still get a cold bottle of pop."
Residents are hopeful that the impending estate sale goes smoothly and the integral shop can begin operating again in about 45 days, said Dina Svenson, who sometimes helped out around the store.
Carol Dexter said just about everybody that lived in Washington would help out in the store.
Dexter would come in and Edgman would ask her to man the counter while he fetched a bag of ice from the back.
It was the type of old-school American approach to business that can only persist in the small, tightly knit communities that endure in remote pockets of the country.
"He was a good boss and a good person," Redmon said.
Glenda Wright agreed.
"It's just another piece of the quilt that is Washington that is gone away," she said.

Arabic Buddhist wrote:" In the Amitabha Sutra, the Buddha further explained that to be reborn in the Western Pure Land, we have to be "good men and good women." The standard for this is the Three Conditions; thus, they are a crucial part of our practice, an integral component of rebirth in the Pure Land.
To achieve this rebirth, we need belief, vows, and practice—leading a moral life and chanting Amituofo mindfully.
For example . Do they said THREE CONDITIONS practice is useful just in first Dharma Age . Or they have other obinions ?
That's only Ven. Chin Kung's interpretation. It is not written like that in the sutra itself, nor did Honen explain it that way. If you want a different perspective from the Chinese side that is closer to Honen - but still not the same -, I recommend Ven. Yin Kuang.

There's way briefer than that. Perfect understanding comes from practice and checking with the teacher. Books can only help somewhat. The texts maintain the transmission lineage. But when it comes to the nitty gritty it's all pretty bare bones.

Breckenridge to ask voters for child care tax
November 19, 2012
With the funding source sustaining Breckenridge's child care subsidy program set to end in 2014, the town will ask voters next year to approve a dedicated tax to continue scholarships and other early childhood education assistance programs.
The town is spending $590,000 to provide scholarships to 180 local children from low-income families.
"It's not only an investment in our children," Breckenridge spokeswoman Kim Dykstra-DiLallo said. "It's for us an economic viability (issue) because our employees are able to be here. It sustains a community."
A child care task force charged with exploring the issue of a tax ballot question recommended a sales tax increase. The measure would need to generate at least $800,000 annually to sustain the program, a number that means voters would have to approve a .24 percent increase, bumping the Breck sales tax rate to 8.515 percent, according to a Breckenridge staff memo.
"There's definitely a benefit to local businesses," Breckenridge planner Laurie Best said. "That's why some people felt that a sales tax was the better option. But we might consider a property tax. Then it's more locals supporting locals. It's a tough decision."
The town will likely survey voters early next year to determine whether residents prefer a sales tax or a property tax. The ballot question must be finalized by August of next year.

Child care supporters say the program helps keep local employees in Breckenridge when they start families by curbing a significant household expense. The scholarships provide assistance to local residents spending more than 12-15 percent of their income on child care.
But there has been disagreement as to whether families, employers or the town should bear the financial burden of the program.
"Some will say, small businesses should pay for it," said Dick Carleton, a local restaurant owner and supporter of the town's child care subsidies. "But it's not reality. Small businesses in this economic environment, most of us lose money six months a year. … I think many of the small businesses in our community have stepped up for our workforce over and over, but at times it needs to be a partnership of the public and private sectors to take on some of these bigger-scope projects."
Approximately 300 local businesses have had employees on staff benefitting from child care scholarships, town officials said.
Opponents of the program call it unfair, saying the town is spending significant public funds on subsidies that only benefit a small cross section of the Breckenridge population.
"These wasteful programs just take income from hard-working folks and transfer it to a small number of people that want things they can't otherwise afford," a resident named Don stated in reference to town housing and child care subsidies on Breckenridge's new community engagement website.
The town of Breckenridge launched the child care scholarship program in 2008. At the time, local early childhood education centers were charging low tuition rates to make care accessible, but could not cover their expenses and frequently struggled to balance budgets and retain quality teachers, according to Breckenridge staff reports.
The town created a plan that included the construction of a new child care center, debt relief for the existing centers, a salary support program – which expires this year – and child care scholarships, according to a town memorandum.

After two rough road losses, the Pacers return to the confines of Bankers Life Fieldhouse to take on the surprising, yet currently slumping in their own right, Denver Nuggets, and they need a loud crowd to help give them the homecourt advantage (those fans who wear green and look like seats are really wearing thin!)
Area 55 is looking for chants focused towards Nene, Afflalo, Lawson, Harrington, and Fernandez in particular, but as always, chants towards any Nugget players are encouraged, as long as they stay PG.
As with last Tuesday game against Utah, Area55 is also looking for suggestions for more chants for when the Pacers are on offense (P-p-p-PACERS is starting to wear thin when you chant it 15 times a game). We recently debuted the "Go go, the blue and gold " chant, but we need more!
As usual, put them here or send them over to @area55chants, @pacers_chants, @thesandman21 or @letstalkpacers on Twitter.

Two GirlfriendsProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
A man has two girlfriends. Each lives at the opposite final stop of the same train. The man gets up every day at a random time. He goes to a train stop and takes the first train to come regardless of the direction and goes to the final stop to see the girlfriend which lives there. Surprisingly he sees one of the girlfriends 4 times more often than the other one. How can this be?
HintThink about train time intervals.
AnswerThe trains go in 10-minute intervals. One direction, it is every hour at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 minutes and the other direction it is every hour at 2, 12, 22, 32, 42, and 52 minutes. When the man comes to the train stop at a random time, he will take the first train if he comes within the first two minutes in any of the 10-minute intervals, i.e. with probability of 20%. The ratio of visiting girlfriends is then 20%:80% or 1:4.
