Season Of Brilliance Spokane Symphony Lines Up One Of World's Great Opera Singers To Cap Off New Season That Will Touch On Four Centuries Of Music
Sun., March 29, 1998
The opera world's leading mezzo-soprano, Frederica von Stade, headlines the 1998-99 season of the Spokane Symphony.
"She's an amazing, wonderful singer," says Fabio Mechetti, the orchestra's music director. "Everyone is going to be very excited when she comes in."
The symphony season was designed to cover every major period of composition from the 17th century through the 20th century. Other guest artists include violinist Leila Josefowicz and pianist Angela Cheng.
Von Stade debuted with the Metropolitan Opera in 1970, and celebrated her 25th anniversary with that opera in 1995. She has performed with the top opera companies and symphonies around the world, including La Scala, the Paris Opera, the New York Philharmonic and the London Symphony.
She will sing from Ravel and Canteloube at the final concert of the season, which will also include the symphony's performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 1.
"It gives validity to the symphony itself as an organization to be able to work with somebody so reputable," says Mechetti.
Artists of similar stature who have appeared recently with the Spokane Symphony include baritone Thomas Hampson and pianist Andre Watts.
Von Stade's appearance will be underwritten by a grant from the Jewett Foundation, according to Jonathan Martin, the symphony's executive director.
While Martin would not disclose von Stade's specific fee for the May 7, 1999, appearance, he said it falls in the $20,000 to $40,000 range. The most expensive names in the symphonic world, such as Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma and Jessye Norman, charge from $40,000 to $90,000, he said.
Mechetti has trouble naming his favorite upcoming concerts. "It's like fathering children," he says. "You love them all."
The most challenging concert, he says, will be the Jan. 29 program of three Russian ballets, including Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring."
Martin calls the piece "difficult, challenging, extremely satisfying music."
He says, "It's just a big meaty thing that will be wonderful for the orchestra, the musicians and the audience."
The opening gala concert combines Beethoven and Gershwin. Cheng will play Gershwin's Concerto in F and the Spokane Symphony will perform Gershwin's "American in Paris" and Beethoven's Symphony No. 1.
"It's a pretty tasty way to kick things off," Martin says.
The Spokane Symphony season also includes a SuperPops series starring singer Shirley Jones and the trio Bravo Broadway!; a series at The Met featuring flutist Michael Faust and baritone Frank Hernandez; and a three-concert series in Coeur d'Alene at Boswell Hall.
Two SymFunnies Family Concerts and five performances of "The Nutcracker" with Alberta Ballet will round out the season. , DataTimes ILLUSTRATION: 6 Color photos

Seven stories of passion and love separated by centuries but mysteriously intertwined - this is a tale of horror and beauty, tenderness and sacrifice.
An archaeologist who unearths a mysterious artifact, an airman who finds himself far from home, a painter, a ghost, a vampire, and a Viking: the seven stories in this compelling novel all take place on the remote Scandinavian island of Blessed where a curiously powerful plant that resembles a dragon grows. What binds these stories together? What secrets lurk beneath the surface of this idyllic countryside? And what might be powerful enough to break the cycle of midwinterblood? From award-winning author Marcus Sedgwick comes a book about passion and preservation and ultimately an exploration of the bounds of love.

"Not your traditional love story!"
This is a love story that travels backwards through time, and lives many different lives. I love any book that centers around time travel or lives connected through time, and this didn't disappoint! It isn't your traditional love story though as you will soon find out.
The narrator was great, he really brought out the characters and I thought his use of accents added to the story telling.
"Its good... Except the narrator😳"
I really like this book.... There is Justine thing.. It bugs me a lot and it the accent the narrator has. It's not bad it's just sometimes a teensy Wendy bit hard to understand.

Amy Carol Webb has been such a dependable fixture on South Florida's burgeoning folk scene that it's hard to believe it's been a full four years since her last release. It's not as if she hasn't been busy; indeed, she has kept up a relentless touring schedule that has honed her performances and won her new converts.
Faith Fortitude Friends should also fuel that trend. While it fits the traditional singer/songwriter formula, from its lofty platitudes to its simple but supple arrangements, its main strength lies in its melodies, songs that leave an indelible imprint after a single listen. "Some Special Occasion," a sad reflection on love, loss, and feelings left unsaid, is teeming with tears. And "Nobody's Child," like her earlier "Daddy Don't Go," imparts a bittersweet biographical narrative of the kind Janis Ian is so good at delivering. "No Hands But Ours," a soothing hymn on the need to be God's go-fer, is absolutely inspired.

While cynics might dismiss Webb's preachy sentiments, a wide-eyed idealism reflected by the album title and themes that touch on the religious divide ("Oh Abraham"), violence in the media ("Till We Stop Watching"), and blessings of the everyday variety ("One"), her work is more assertive and affecting than ever. Whether through Faith Fortitude Friends, or some other source of affirmation, this lovely collection confirms her stature as the first lady of Florida folk.

Mass. casino lobbying tapering off on Beacon Hill
BOSTON — Gambling interests hoping to win gaming licenses in Massachusetts are starting to rein in their lobbying efforts on Beacon Hill and focus instead on persuading cities and towns to host their casinos.
During the first half of 2013, companies spent just $1.1 million on political lobbying at the state level in Massachusetts, according to an Associated Press review of records filed with the state secretary's office. One firm — MGM Resorts International — spent almost that much in just six weeks in an effort focused on convincing Springfield voters to back a casino there.

I'd like to bring to attention a proposed addition to the Windows platform that would allow one to modify the C preprocessor symbols that are used when building libcinder, without requiring modifications to the cinder repo:
This is considered advanced usage and leverages some perhaps offbeat features of Visual Studio to accomplish what it does. Nonetheless it is an invaluable feature when working on large projects that need to keep all changes versioned, and so they don't want to fork and modify cinder's sources to do that. This is typically available when building with Makefiles or CMake using CFLAGS at the command line, and many open source libraries provide command line flags to allow you to customize their build. As far as I know there is no way to achieve the same with Xcode, so we haven't attempted this same feature there.
Why would you want to modify proprocessor symbols that cinder uses when building, you ask? Some common cases include the CI_MIN_LOG_LEVEL, as described in this guide, and a few compile time macros that adjust the way that CI_ASSERT() works (see this header).
Setting up your project to use this new feature requires a bit of work.
That's about it, now when you place anything in your CinderMswUserDefines.h file, it will customize the cinder.lib that your app links to accordingly. Of course, this file could be abused by placing #includes or other devilry in there so use when appropriate. Ultimately for me, this is a feature common when building open source libraries that hasn't been available when building with Visual Studio, so I find it worthy of consideration. In fact, we've already used it on a remotely deployed project to debug where assertion failures were coming from, thereby allowing us to track down problems with file logs.
Here is a stackoverflow post that describes using this same technique.
Happy to hear about suggestions, opinions, ways to improve on this, or anything else you have to offer.
Any concerns or reservations regarding this? It is being used in a production setting so I'd otherwise like to merge this soon.
This has been merged into the master branch, along with docs that should show up on this page after a nightly build has completed.

[Plugin: Multiple Galleries] weird and unexpected behavior
I was already using multiple galleries by using the shortcode like this:
[gallery include="477, 463, 462, 461, 459, 460, 458, 457, 456, 455, 454, 453, 452, 476, 451" link="file" order="DESC" columns="5"]
and when I found your plugin I was happy because I would no longer have to manually type the attachment numbers into the include part but only now have I realized that when your plugin is active, the normal gallery insertion shortcode stops working. Codes like this don't work anymore 🙁
[gallery link="file" order="DESC" orderby="menu_order" columns="5"]
can this be fixed? I love being able to check which pictures to include but if I don't include any specific images I'd like all attachments to be shown as is the default with wordpress.

Milgard Window Balance
A home owner from Oregon says:
May 2, 2016
I need to order (4) of the S385-33 balances for my Milgard windows. The stamp on the existing channel is 32DS 42. Which option do I choose?
Paul from SWISCO responded:
May 2, 2016
Thanks for contacting us. Can you confirm the exact weight of the sash this balance supports? Can you also confirm that the metal channel is exactly 33" long? If it's something like 32-5/8", you may need something else.
If it is 33", then the S385-33 should be fine. Based on the stamp you have, the sash weight may be 42 pound, but I would still like you to weigh the sash just in case. There are two possible options that can work for a 42 pound sash: our 3270 and 3275, I'm just not sure which would be better in your case. Knowing the exact weight would confirm.

Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes
This recipe is from my wife Angel, who loves to make food, home and body care recipes that support people's journey to optimal health.
Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes Ingredients
3 heaping tbsp vanilla protein powder
8 tbsp coconut butter
1 tbsp vanilla
Pinch of pink salt
4-5 tbsp filtered water
2 squirts cinnamon flavored liquid stevia
2 squirts vanilla cream flavored liquid stevia
1 tbsp pumpkin spice mix
1 tbsp chopped pecans
3 tbsp sprouted pumpkin seeds
3 tbsp shredded coconut flakes
Servings: Makes about 12-15 balls
Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes Instructions:
1. Put all ingredients into a mixing bowl (you may need to put the coconut butter in convention oven for 5 mins on low heat to melt it a bit)
2. Mix all ingredients (easiest if you use your hands)
3. Get about a tbsp amount and pat into a ball
4. Place onto a glass container or plate
5. When all the balls are rolled, but the container in the refrigerator for about 30 mins
(Once they are ready, you may want to keep this in a closed container to prevent the dough from becoming dry.)
Dr Jockers Comments:
This is one of our favorite family snacks. It is loaded with clean protein, good fats, anti-oxidants and fiber for a perfect snack or meal replacement. The ingredients in here will help you reduce inflammation, balance your hormones, burn fat and build lean body tissue.
Coconut fats are rich in medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) that help to form ketones. We use stevia as our sweetener, which is 100 times stronger than sugar and has no effect on your blood sugar. I enjoy using our Gut Healing Protein with this as it is full of powerful anti-inflammatory compounds and is a hypoallergenic pea protein base.
Once you are finished making this, you want to put it in the refrigerator and the coconut butter hardens, forming a sort of donut glaze that tastes so good!

Fitness Ideas For Better Health And Well-being
The following advice will assist you in becoming more knowledgeable about getting in shape the right way. You should know about exercising before starting so you don't injure yourself. Start researching prior to exercising.
If your goal is to become fit and healthy, try to find fitness programs that strengthen your muscles and help you become more flexible. Look for classes located in the area where you live.
Don't focus exclusively on crunches to work out your abdominal muscles. It has been shown that for every 250,000 crunches, only 1 pound of fat is burned. If crunches are all you are doing, you aren't working your abs as hard as you need to. Work out your abdominals in other ways, as well.
Keep a fitness diary that records your daily activities. This includes every exercise, what you eat, and even what you drink. Even make note of the times you exercise and eat, and the temperature each day. This will allow you to get an objective view of your behavior. If you find that you're unable to exercise during varying periods, look to see if there are any similarities between them.
Face the exercises that you don't like by including them in your routine and doing them on a regular basis. It is thought that people don't do exercises at which they don't excel. Conquer the exercises you are weakest at by making it a regular part of your exercise routine, and don't give up on it.
Do not take a break on weekends from your workouts. Many fall into the habit of kicking back every weekend as a way of putting workweek stress behind them. You should keep weight loss on your mind, daily. Don't hurt all of your efforts by splurging on the weekends, you will never reach your fitness goals if you do this.
To find enough time for both exercise and meal planning, you need to schedule your day. If you are out of the house when it is lunch time, for example, you will be more likely to have something unhealthy and fatty, just to keep your energy up. Make an effort to think about your days ahead of time in order to schedule physical fitness in and to make healthy meals.
It's a good idea to alternate some sit-ups into your workout along with your crunches. Over the past several years, sit-ups have received a bad reputation. Avoid doing sit-ups in which your feet are anchored. The strain put on your back can cause pain and injury.
When working out your biceps, make sure you are lifting the weights properly. If you aren't lifting the weight correctly, you can easily injure yourself and get a muscle strain in your arms. To properly lift weights, extend your wrists slightly backward and hold it that way. Then, put your wrists back into a more normal position. This helps to build up your bicep muscles correctly and reduce risk of injury.
Getting fit is a wide open process; there are all sorts of ways to exercise, and just as many places to find the necessary motivation. It is just a matter of finding the best method for you. With fitness you can easily create a personalized workout routine that you enjoy. The more knowledge you gain about various kinds of fitness, the more it will interest you.

The Cal TIP number, the Department of Fish and Game poacher hotline, is 1-888-DFG-CALTIP. The DFG's Web site is www.dfg.ca.gov.
1. Albacore! If you've been waiting for the tuna bite to really start sizzling before going this year, now is the time. The San Diego boats have been seeing the best fishing of the season, and the quality of the fish has been excellent. Albacore to 45 pounds and bluefin tuna to 120 pounds have been caught in the past week on the 1 1/2 and two-day trips, with limits expected in recent days. There's even been some pretty good fishing for the overnight boats, although that has been less consistent. For the latest news, you can check the 976-TUNA web site (www.976-tuna.com) or call Fisherman's Landing at 619-221-8500, H&M Landing at 619-222-1144, Seaforth Sportfishing at 619-224-3383, or Point Loma Sportfishing at 619-223-1627.
2. The largemouth bass bite remains hot at Diamond Valley Lake with the fish stacked up in 25 to 40 feet and whacking plastics, jigs, cranks, and even topwater baits. Add in the good bluegill and redear action, where fish to nearly two pounds are showing off the dams in big numbers. Combine that with the catfish bite, and a shot at a big striper. Well, you get it. It would be the number one pick again if it weren't for the hot tuna action. For an update on the action, call the marina at 951-926-7201 or Last Chance Bait and Tackle in Hemet at 951-658-7410.
3. Crowley Lake is again staying in the top picks. Fly anglers are targeting the bigger fish cruising the edges of weed beds eating perch minnows and hammering stripped streamers. There are a lot of quality rainbows, cutthroats, and browns being caught right now, and it will just continue to get better as we move into September. Like we said last week, even when Crowley isn't in the top picks over the coming two months, remember this action. It just gets better all through September. Call Crowley Lake Fish Camp at 760-935-4301, The Troutfitter at 760-934-2517, or Performance Anglers at 760-924-2181 for an update.
TROUT: Some of the local mountain waters continue to have good action. Green Valley Lake and Lake Hemet are both top bets. Green Valley is getting private plants each week now. Big Bear Lake is tougher but did receive a DFG plant last week. In the Eastern Sierra, the bites are good on planted fish from north to south, especially the Bishop Creek drainage, the waters around Tioga Pass, and the high elevation waters throughout the region. For fly anglers, the East Walker River, upper Owens River, Hot Creek, and Crowley Lake all have good to excellent bites, with the hoppers now out in pretty good force in the river meadows. Crowley has been particularly good. In the Western Sierra, the Kern River is excellent with a lot of dry fly action now morning and evening in the upper reach, especially the Wild Trout stretch.
LARGEMOUTH BASS: The largemouth bass bites are mostly just fair right now, but there are flurries of excellent morning and evening topwater bites. The top picks are again Diamond Valley, which is awesome, and then Sutherland, Perris, and Casitas. All are producing good average-sized fish, perhaps in the three to four-pound range. Other decent bets include Castaic, Piru, Skinner, and Silverwood. In San Diego County, Barrett remains fairly good (actually, pretty dismal for Barrett at only about three fish per rod), but Upper Otay, Wohlford, Lower Otay, El Capitan, and Hodges are all worth fishing. On the lower Colorado River, the smallmouth bass bite from Needles to the I-40 bridge, in Lake Havasu, and Havasu downstream through about Palo Verde is good, and the largemouth bite is starting to really improve in lower river backwaters.
STRIPED BASS: There is pretty good striper action at all of the Southern California striper spots with Pyramid, Skinner, Silverwood, Castaic and Diamond Valley all cranking out fish, mostly on sardines and anchovies. Best fish are showing at Diamond Valley and Castaic. The California aqueduct near Taft is also good, but with a lot of small fish (remember there is an 18-inch minimum size here). On the Colorado River, Willow Beach broke open nearly two months ago and has never slowed since. There are a lot of fish over 15 pounds caught each week on the big, trout-like baits. Tops this week was a mere almost-20-pounder. Lake Mohave is fair on fish to four pounds on sardenes at the dam, while Havasu is still mostly slow but improving. Few reports on wipers at either Elsinore or Hesperia this week.
PANFISH: The bluegill and redear bites are good just about everywhere. Diamond Valley and Lake Perris are hot. But just about every water with bluegill are still seeing at least fair to good fishing, even if the fish are mostly smaller now. Crappie bites have lulled most places, but Isabella is still pretty good if you can fish a school of fish in flooded timber and fish live minnows. Lake Cachuma is still surprisingly producing fish at the narrows, and some fish are still showing at Piru. The tilapia bite at the Salton Sea s still very slow.
CATFISH: The lower Colorado River flathead and channel catfish action remains fair to good with the Blythe-Palo Verde area to Yuma the hotspot for big fish. Other places of real note include Diamond Valley Lake, Pyramid, Silverwood, Skinner, and Isabella. The planted water lakes -- Hesperia Lake, Jean's Channel Cats, Irvine Lake, Santa Ana River Lakes, and Corona Lake -- are also all pretty good.
SILVERWOOD: The striper action is good with the best bite on cut baits, mostly anchovies. Hot spots for stripers are the spillway and the dam with some showing near the docks as well. The catfish bite is good in Miller's or at the dock on chicken liver, anchovies, or shrimp. John Jacobs, Victorville, caught an 11.2-pound stringer of stripers and catfish with fish to 4.4 pounds on chicken liver in Miller's Canyon. Bryce Wood, Riverside, caught three catfish totaling 7.5 pounds with fish to 3.7 pounds on anchovies and chicken liver. The largemouth bass bite has been fair to good on swimbaits off the points. The bluegill bite is fair with most of the action reported off the rocks by the docks. The trout action has been slow with the best bite in deep water. Information: marina 760-389-2299, state park 760-389-2281, Silverwood Country store 760-389-2423.
BIG BEAR LAKE: Slow to fair trout action with the best bite for trollers working Needlefish-type lures in 12-plus feet of water or still fishermen in the Gray's Landing fishing garlic Power Bait with a four-foot leader to keep the bait out of the weeds and moss. DFG trout plant this week. Bass action is slow to fair with a few fish showing on spinnerbaits and topwater. Crappie are spotty with a few fish showing in Metcalf Bay. A few catfish are showing, especially in the evenings and at night. Excellent bowfishing for carp. Fishing information: Big Bear Marina 909-866-3218, Big Bear Sporting Goods 909-866-3222 or www.bigbearmarina.com.
GREGORY LAKE: DFG trout plant this week. Information: 909-338-2233.
GREEN VALLEY LAKE: Good trout bite with many limits reported. Anglers are having the most success fishing deeper water. Elizabeth Roberts, Garden Grove, caught a 6.1-pound rainbow on yellow powerbait from the north point. The lake receives a 1,000-pound plant of rainbows each week, and there was a DFG plant three weeks ago. Anglers who catch a rainbow over six pounds get a free "Green Valley Lake Six-Pound-and-Over Club" tee-shirt. Recorded information: 909-867-2009.
ARROWBEAR LAKE: No DFG plants in over a month.
JENKS LAKE: DFG trout plants last week and three weeks ago. Information: Mill Creek Ranger Station at 909-382-2881.
HESPERIA LAKE: There continues to be a good catfish bite with a lot of limits and many quality fish showing, with the best bite morning and evening. Inflated nightcrawlers, the marshmallow-meal worm combo, or mackerel and shrimp dipped in Sonny's have been the top baits. The lake is receiving plants of 2,200 pounds of catfish each week. Chase Jones, Apple Valley, caught a 17-8 catfish on mackerel and garlic at the north shore. Howard Anderson, Rialto, landed a 12-8 catfish on shrimp at the drain.

Kirman Lake is excellent on brookies weighing up to four pounds, and cutthroat trout in the six- to eight-pound range. Best action on scud and streamer patterns for float-tubing fly anglers or small jigs and spinners for spin fishermen. Shore fishing tough because of tules and weed beds are making spin and fly fishing tough for even tube anglers. Information: Toiyabe Motel at 530-495-2281.
BRIDGEPORT REGION: Flows have been consistent on the East Walker in the 160 range, and the fishing has been good early and late in the day.

Twin Lakes have been just fair with a tougher bite for bait, lure, and fly anglers on pan-sized fish. The Virginia Lakes -- Big Virginia, Little Virginia, and Trumbel -- all excellent again. Information: Ken's Sporting Goods 760-932-7707 or www.kenssport.com.
LEE VINING REGION: Lower Rush Creek in the special regulation section has been just fair on small caddis dries or a two-fly rig with fish to 16 inches reported, but water level is getting low. Below 395, Rush is good but the fish are very small. Tioga, Saddlebag, Ellery and Lundy lakes are all excellent for bait, lure, and fly anglers. Lots of fly-bubble fish now thanks to an excellent mosquito crop. Remember the bug juice. Information: www.dipperflyfishing.com.
JUNE LAKE LOOP: Good action throughout the loop, especially for fly anglers fishing streamers around weed beds or midge pupae under an indicator. June is producing a few cutthroat topping three pounds, and Gull has been cranking out a lot of rainbows for bait and lure anglers, too. Silver and Grant a little less consistent, but still fair to good early and late in the day. Walker and Parker lakes are both good, and all higher elevation waters are generally good. Nights are already getting cooler up high. Information: Ernie's Tackle at 760-648-7756.
MAMMOTH AREA: Crowley Lake's weeds are in defined beds, and the fishing has improved with good to excellent action for anglers fishing midges under indicators in 12 to 15 feet of water or perch streamers along the weed beds. The best numbers of fish seem to be in the inlets, but fish are showing around much of the lake. Some good surface action most mornings. The perch action is also good in 14 to 40 feet of water on small jigs. The upper Owens River and Hot Creek are both very good for fly anglers, with a lot of hoppers on the banks now.

WIDE OPEN TUNA ACTION: The San Diego fleet is seeing pretty much wide open albacore and other mixed tuna action with the hot bite as close as 65 miles from Point Loma. It is by far the best bite of the season with limits of tuna the rule on 1 1/2 and two-day trips this past week. And the quality of the fish being caught is generally very good, with albacore to 45 pounds and bluefin tuna to 120 pounds. The overnight boats have seen a little less consistent fishing because they've only be able to fish the morning bite before having to head home. While most of the focus has been on albacore, there continue to be a lot of yellowfin tuna, dorado, yellowtail and skipjack in the same or adjoining areas. On some trips the bag has been completely mixed up. Just a sampling of scores to give you an example of this bite. The Ultra, out of Fisherman's Landing, was out with eight anglers early this week and they caught 40 albacore to 40 pounds and a dorado on a 1 1/2-day trip. The Ocean Odyssey, out of H&M Landing, was on a two-day trip with 23 anglers who caught two bluefin tuna, 20 yellowfin tuna, 57 albacore, 30 skipjack, two yellowtail, and six dorado. The El dorado, out of Point Loma Sportfishing, returned from a two-day trip with two bluefin, 11 yellowfin, 71 albacore, 45 skipjack, and 10 dorado for the 25 anglers on board. The New LoAn, also out of Point Loma, had 29 anglers on a 1 1/2-day trip and they caught 93 albacore, 21 yellowfin, 20 bluefin, and six dorado. The best bluefin action has been in the evening, pretty much restricting those catches to the longer trips.
CORONADO ISLAND, LA JOLLA UPDATE: There has been a consistent pick on the yellowtail for the ¾-day fleet out of San Diego with scores from one to three fish per rod common this past week. The La Jolla kelp has been pretty consistent on the calico bass with a few yellowtail and a smattering of sheephead and rockfish in the mix. The sand bass and barracuda seemed to drop out the last few days.
SAN CLEMENTE, CATALINA NEWS: While the yellowtail action slowed a little at San Clemente Island, there is still a pick on these fish, but the tremendous calico bass action continues, and a lot of the fish are quality, topping the three pound mark and running up to six or more. Catalina Island also has a very good calico bass bite. There has also been the odd white seabass, and a few puddling yellowtail. The 'tails have pretty much been tough with the few taken showing only on smallish, live mackerel off the front side of the island.
CATALINA CHANNEL MARLIN: With the falling water temperatures in the Catalina Channel, the marlin action has been faltering in recent days, but there are still pockets of 70-plus degree water where the fish are active. It will just take a few days for them to adjust to the cooler temps. While a lot of anglers are looking, there has not been much in the way of dorado action in the channel this year, in spite of the warm water.
NEARSHORE NEWS: The bite all along the coast for the half-day fleet has been pretty spotty this past week with a downturn in both the barracuda and sand bass bites. A few sandies are still showing in the Santa Monica Bay and off Oceanside, but the mixed bag action has mostly been on calicos, sculpin, and rockfish.
