Felix Francis grew up listening to his father Dick Francis, a British Champion Steeplechase jockey turned bestselling mystery writer, discuss racings and the characters and plots in his books. Dick Francis died in 2010 at the age of 89 after he and Felix had written several mysteries together. It was perhaps inevitable that Felix would follow in his father's footsteps, crafting his own tales also set in the competitive racing world. Front Runner is Felix's fifth mystery and the second to feature Jeff Hinkley, an investigator for the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) whose inquiries seem to land him in dangerous situations.
British horse racing is a big business, providing more than 80,000 jobs, and generating more than 3.5 in pounds ($5.4 billion) for the country's economy. That alone would mean a large audience in Britain for the Francis books, but add to that the current excitement in the U.S. for Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, and that audience of eager readers dramatically increases. (While Felix's current mystery is set in Britain, his next one, tentatively titled – wait for it – Triple Crown – will be set in the U.S.) The timing is perfect for readers to jump onto the Francis band wagon, whether reading Front Runner , catching up on Felix's other books or, of course, any number of his father's.
Dick Francis rarely stuck with one protagonist, the reason, according to Felix, that filling the pages became easier with a new hero to describe and develop. For at least three books, Felix will be sticking with Hinkley and we applaud that decision. Hinkley has all the characteristics that we've come to love in a central character. He's passionate about his work, but sensitive enough to sometimes question what he does for a living. His romantic life has taken a hit (his girlfriend, Lydia, threw him over for someone wealthier in a more conventional job), but there's the possibility for something wonderful on the horizon, Henrietta Shawcross, an heiress but one who is intent on running her own business.
Dave Swinton, an eight times champion steeplechase jockey, confesses that he's been losing races on purpose. After blurting out that admission to Hinkley, he clams up. When he asks Hinkley to meet him at his home the next day, the BHA investigator hopes he will learn more. Instead, Hinkley is shoved into a sauna, the temperature ramped up and the door jammed shut. Hinkley suspects that Swinton has tried to kill him, a suspicion borne out later when Swinton is found dead, an apparent suicide. While the police are satisfied, Hinkley's not. And after he's assaulted, this time stabbed 13 times with a knife and left for death, Hinkley understands that he's now become the target, possessing information that even he doesn't know he has.

CHICAGO (AP) — From Chicago to Afghanistan, Dr. Jerry Umanos dedicated his service to poor children.
The pediatrician was among three Americans killed when an Afghan security guard opened fire Thursday at a Kabul hospital. He was volunteering in Afghanistan to train young doctors, periodically returning to Chicago to work in a Christian clinic on the city's southwest side.
Umanos "was always working to help inner-city kids and trying to help out any needy, poor kids anywhere," said Jeff Schuitema, Umanos' brother-in-law.
The fatal shootings at Cure International Hospital in western Kabul were the latest in a string of deadly attacks on foreign civilians in the Afghan capital this year.
In an interview inside her Chicago home, Jan Schuitema, Umanos' wife, said he always wanted to work with children, and became fascinated with Afghanistan when visiting through a Christian clinic in 2006.
"What he would really want people who care about this to know is that he really did love Afghanistan and the Afghan people," said Jan Schuitema, a teacher in Chicago who also spent time teaching in Afghanistan.
"This should in no way negatively impact people's feelings about the country or about the people in the country," she said. "They are no different than us here."
The couple moved individually back and forth between the two countries. They knew other people who had been killed in Afghanistan — doctors, nurses and community development workers. Yet they did not live in fear.
"There's always a concern. This isn't the first time we've been through this. And there's always a thought that this could happen," she said. "It's a reality, but it doesn't, we weren't afraid. When you know you've got God's backing, the fear is not there."
In addition to the pediatrician who was killed, "also two others who were here to meet him, and they were also American nationals," said Afghanistan's Minister of Health Soraya Dalil. "The two visitors were father and son, and a woman who was also in the visiting group was wounded."
Colleagues in Chicago are heartbroken about the loss of Umanos, 57, who had worked for more than 25 years at Lawndale Christian Health Center in the city, said Dr. Bruce Rowell, medical director of clinical quality at the facility.
"He was ... for many of us on staff, the pediatrician for our very own children," Rowell said at a news conference in Chicago.
"This loss is a great loss for his family, for those of us he worked with as well as for the people of Afghanistan," Rowell said. "He was a loving and caring physician who served all of his patients with the utmost of respect."
Dale Brantner, president and CEO of Lemoyne, Pa.-based Cure International, said he did not have solid information about what motivated the attacks, but that "it doesn't seem to be religiously motivated."
"We've existed there for 12 years being unapologetically Christian," he said.
He remembered Umanos as "a guy who is just full of life, loves people, especially little people."
Jeff Schuitema said Umanos and his wife quickly moved to Afghanistan when their children were old enough.
"Once the kids got to an age where they could leave, they were off," Schuitema said, struggling to compose himself on the phone from his home in suburban Atlanta. "Jerry was trying to get me to come with him for years but I never did."
The Cure International Hospital where the shooting took place is focused on maternity and pediatric care and serves 37,000 patients annually, said Mark Knecht, Cure International's chief financial officer.
Umanos' volunteer work in Kabul involved training residents and medical students interested in international health.
One of those trainees, Johns Hopkins University medical student Evan Russell, met Umanos in Kabul in 2011 while volunteering at the Cure International Hospital and later worked with him on a project called Empowerment Health. Russell said Umanos had been working for years on training programs to teach Afghan women basic health education and skills to provide health services in their communities.
"Just this morning, he expressed how excited he was that, after years of development with our Afghan partners, we were already on to our second day of training," Russell said in an email to the AP. "Our efforts in the community will continue on, and we remain deeply committed to the mission to which he devoted his life, but Jerry's daily impact on this program, and on so many other people, will be missed forever."
Umanos was a graduate of Wayne State University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the Children's Hospital of Michigan, according to the nonprofit Empowerment Health's website.
Officials at Cure International said they were working closely with authorities investigating the shooting.
Knecht told reporters outside the group's headquarters in Lemoyne, Pa., that it "remains committed to serve the people of Afghanistan."
He also asked for prayers for "the families of the victims and those affected by the shooting, as well as the peace in Afghanistan."
Associated Press writers Jason Keyser in Chicago and Peter Jackson in Lemoyne, Pa., contributed to this report.

Public promenade planned before dance
A new event will be part of Gothenburg High School's junior-senior prom this Saturday in the Dudley Elementary gymnasium.
At 8:30 p.m., the public can attend a promenade where prom couples will stroll across the performing arts center stage and their names be announced.
"It's a new thing we are trying this year and we hope to see a lot of people there," said prom sponsor Kris Epke.
To get ready for this year's prom, the junior class will decorate the Dudley gym Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, from 6-9 p.m. each night. The theme is "Mysterioso."
Saturday festivities begin with punch parties, from 5-6 p.m., at these homes:
Juniors will gather at the home of Roger and Carol Wahlgren at 2611 Ave. M.

Group pictures for seniors will be at 5:15 p.m. and at 5:45 p.m. for juniors.
Sophomore servers will meet at the Dudley gym at 4:30 p.m. where they will perform a dance for parents and the public at 4:45 p.m.
Members of the community can view decorations in the school gymnasium from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. and can watch prom goers arrive at the school, beginning at 6:15 p.m.
The banquet for juniors and seniors starts at 6:30 p.m. and will be catered by "The Main Course."
A program during the banquet is planned that will include a senior video and a dance by the sophomore servers.
The promenade will begin at 8:30 p.m. in the performing arts center and professional photographs will be taken.
A dance is scheduled from 9 p.m.-midnight.Doors close at 10 p.m.

buildit wrote:Makes me wonder if this is where the whole thin man story really began.
What about the fat man story?
HAGART wrote:The problem is that you ate the soup. It is known from ancient Indian mystical Baba-Guru-Yoda-Monks, that the soup is coveted by "Pecatuiah" from ancient eastern mysticism, roughly translated to, 'the man of boogy'. It should be poured into a bed pan before sleep as an offering to that being.
That is why he was angered and appeared "snow-skinned" as you described. He was malnourished.
I want to delve deeper into this and truly help you, but I must know more facts. Was the soup tomato based, stock based, or was it a cream soup?
LOL! Interesting interpretation but I think the ancient Indian mystics were mistaken about Pecatuiah wanting the soup. (My aunt has already imparted quite a lot of information about the Boogeyman to me.) I believe, rather, that Pecatuia finds kids who eat nutritive soups worthy of respect. But it is curious that you should focus on the ingridients. In Romania, Pecatuiah is known as "L'uomo nero" and is said to take away kids who don't finish their soup. (In Iran, parents warn their children that the Boogeyman does exactly the same!) Now I think I was having something similar to the Romanian ciorba de perisoare, which includes beef, potatoes, onions and peppers. I had the chicken variant, not beef. Nutritive nevertheless.
I don't think his appearance matters so much, and, indeed, Belgians have identified him the be a shapeshifter, master of deception, with a penchant for frightening and confusing his victims. But he is also known to occasionally drink the blood of his victims. So the Boogyman may enjoy being and looking like a vampire part-time.
deschainXIX wrote:There are several problems with your story here that are quite clear to me. The most obvious and overshadowing of them all is the fact that you hallucinated the boogyman in a dream. Come now, Summerlander. You're an oneironaut; you should be able to tell the difference between reality and hypnagogic projection.
The Boogyman chased me during my childhood. I was not yet an oneironaut. Also, how do you explain those times when he appeared to me during the day, cloaked in bed sheets just like in Goya's "Que viene el Coco"? My cousin even heard him chant once and helped me to escape.
deschainXIX wrote:The first important detail is that your Aunt told you about Pecatuiah. How could your Aunt, some random individual, have psionically-obtained information about the world that no one else does? I did a Google search for the words "Pecatuiah boogyman." And you know what came up? Absolutely zilch.
There is a privy kind of knowledge that was imparted to my aunt which was first told by my great grandfather who was a Jewish German general. My great grandfather first spoke of "Pouka" (from the Old Norse "puki," which means nature spirit). It etymologically turned into "Peca" (which in Portuguese and Spanish comes from the word "pecar," meaning, "to sin"... coincidence?)
In Tamil Nadu, India, he is known as Poochaandi. Notice the resemblance? Babau in Italy. Papao in Portugal. You really think these coincidences are a product of normal etymological evolution that began with some made up fairytale long ago? Think again! Jin Baba, the Djinn in Pakistan. Baba Yaga, in Russia.
In many countries he is even portrayed as carrying children in a sack. No smoke without fire I say! Pecatuiah was around in the days of the Buganese pirates of Indonesia, when these used to terrorised the seafaring Europeans. Some say these evil pirates hated the legitimate traders and do-gooders so they summoned a terrifying evil spirit. Since the Buganese pirates were also referred to as "bugis," the European sailors named the demon that haunted them and their children at night as "bugi man." That's where the term Boogyman is believed to come from. I absolutely believe that Pecatuiah, the Boogyman, is real!
Pecatuiah once lived in human form during the reign of Sultan Mansur Shah in the 15th century. His name was Hang Tuah, one of the greatest martial artists who ever lived. It is of no coincidence that "pencak silat" means "martial arts" in Indonesian. Think of "Pencak Tuah" and you soon arrive at PECATUIAH! What more proof do you need?
As a boy, Hang Tuah was already very spiritual and he practice meditation. (Surprise, surprise!) This paid off as he now roams freely as he wishes between the physical realm and the spirit realm. If you want to learn more about this avatar of Pecatuiah, check out Sejarah Melayu, the semi-historical Malay Annals. As an adult, he was very loyal to the sultan. Now, the sultan had a princess who would only marry him if a list of requirements was met. In the list she requested seven jars of virgins' tears and a bowl of the sultan's first born son's blood. Tuah could see that this was difficult and failed his sultan before he died. It is said that he is now making up for this in the afterlife by collecting tears of children worldwide (by frightening them), and occasionally taking blood from the sultan's descendants.
At the same time he introduces children to the spiritual nature of existence. Hang Tuah also once said, "Takkan Melayu di Dunia." It's Malaysian for "Never shall the Malay vanish from the earth." Shamans are well acquainted with Pecatuiah, they know him as "Yekyua" (rhymes with "...tuiah"). Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan knew about him, and he was suffiently trained to be able to tell the difference between vivid or lucid dreams and visions of objectively existent spirit worlds. You think scientists have the time to dedicate their lives to spiritual training? People like Don Juan devoted their entire lives to it and made discoveries that Western civilisation isn't prepared for. Just read Castaneda's "The Art of Dreaming."
It can be argued that Pecatuiah wants children to be loyal and just to their parents just like he was to the sultan. In the Netherlands, the Boogyman is known to sometimes only take children temporarily. Spiritualists have posited that there is a kind of spiritual symbiosis between Pecatuiah and the parents of his victims. It is almost as if in his mind he is doing the parents a favour by frightening the naughty children. Some say, in this respect, that he is not evil but he certainly has a false reputation to maintain. It is the price he pays, or indeed his penance, for having failed Mansur Shah in his past earthly life. If you doubt the veracity of this story, check it out. It's all out there and legit.
deschainXIX wrote:Now … when you woke up and went to the bathroom, elements of your house were different and changed. This you readily dismiss without much consideration. You don't think it even a little important to wonder why your entire house had changed? How could your mother have possibly changed the layout of the entire house during the brief span of your sleep, while you rested undisturbed by the commotion? Changed details are telltale signs that you are traversing a dreamscape. It wasn't real, Summerlander.
It felt very real when I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Everything was clear. I did not ask my mother whether she had made changes of not but she is known to do this a lot and it doesn't matter what time it is. Also, it wasn't the entire house. It was a few things in the bedroom, the corridor and the bathroom. Besides, Pecatuiah, as I mentioned before, is known to frighten and confuse his victims. This sometimes involves optical illusion in the surroundings. It could be his attempt to make the homely environment more unfamiliar so that the victims feel somewhat lost and helpless. It kinda prompts you for what comes next...
And it can't say it wasn't real. You simply weren't there. It felt real and it recurred at daytime, albeit his presence was less conspicuous for some reason. Perhaps he really is a vampire and needs to cover his body with sheets during the day...
deschainXIX wrote:Then "Pecatuiah" shows up and he speaks to you and you somehow know exactly what he is saying. Why do you know the exact translation of what he said? It sounds like no other language ever written, and yet you seamlessly are able to comprehend him. Moreover, how do you remember every little detail of Pecatuiah's piece of dialogue (and even how to spell it) years later? All of this is more proof that you were in a dreamscape. But that last part makes me think that maybe you're lying.
When he chants "Pecatuiah" he is announcing himself and this hardly requires any translation. "Saco minguaco" is almost similar to Portuguese. Saco = bag; minguaco is similar to minga = shrink. Lele (little boy but also colloquially addresses the penis); cala = shut up, silence. A little telepathy might have been used to clarify exactly what he meant.
deschainXIX wrote:If you fainted how did you end up back in the bed? What, did Pecatuiah drag you back into bed so as to cover up all the evidence? Why?
I was probably taken temporarily, as the Dutch have discovered about the majority of their children. Sometimes Pecatuiah just wants to teach naughty kids a lesson.
deschainXIX wrote:Where was your sister? Do you have any explanation that she was gone? This you disregard just as dismissively as you did the altered elements of your house. Did your sister make a habit of mysteriously disappearing in your youth?
Sometimes she would say that Pecatuiah had tied her up and hidden her in a dark place before he went after me. That was odd. I guess he didn't want her to interfere while he was trying to take me.
deschainXIX wrote:You've seemed to be a level-headed person in the past, Summerlander. But I don't know anymore. There is no reliable evidence for your claims. Even without any evidence, your story has holes the size of South America.
I had a paradigm shift. I have reached the fifth level described by the old wise man in "God's Debris." I think I provided enough evidence here so far. How can so many people all over the world describe the same entity and come up with similar names for it. Pecatuiah introduces himself and this is why. He is real. You can't disprove him...
By the way, look at the massive hole in rationalism and empiricism. Outrageous presupositions about the world are made using these epistemological methods and the philosopher Immanuel Kant clearly spelled out their inadequacy. The former reckons a priori reasoning is enough to know things about the objective, mind-independent world. The latter reckons the world is knowable, a posteriori, through experience, faithfully believing (as did John Locke and David Hume) that the senses can give us an accurate account of objects and their nature exactly as they are. Really? Kant provided some examples of components that must be brought on by the mind alone to be believed. If our minds are a "tabula rasa" as Hume claimed, how then can the mind make judgements about the very objects it has studied? Where did the concepts for making judgements about these objects come from?
Kant showed us that the real world is not knowable. Everything we have epistemologically imbibed is built on mental interpretations. Reason itself is based on empirical experience and cannot beget the true model of a mind-independent world. Knowledge has constraints because the mind constitutes features of experience and is limited to its subjective representation of space and time. Thus, the veracity of his transcendental idealism and empirical realism. Knowledge only applies to phenomena (how things are given to us) and do not reveal things-in-themselves. A thing-in-itself can never be known.
"The transcendental idealist, on the contrary, can be an empirical realist, hence, as he is called, a dualist, i.e., he can concede the existence of matter without going beyond mere self-consciousness and assuming something more than the certainty of representations in me, hence the cogito ergo sum. For because he allows this matter and even its inner possibility to be valid only for appearance– which, separated from our sensibility, is nothing –matter for him is only a species of representations (intuition), which are call external, not as if they related to objects that are external in themselves but because they relate perceptions to space, where all things are external to one another, but that space itself is in us."
- Immanuel Kant
Thus I reason that I don't know about the real nature of the keyboard in front of me any more than I know about the Boogyman's. What I do know is that they have both been represented in my mind, perceived... felt! Why should one be given more credit as an existential thing over the other? Note, many people experience the Boogyman but only a few get to see and touch my laptop...
nesgirl wrote:He made a joke thread like this in the past in the paranormal section Deschain. I don't find this funny at all.
I made a joke before but everyone knew it was a joke and I didn't deny it. This is real now. Do I look like I'm joking? Why would I lie about this?
deschainXIX wrote:Wait, what? He sounds really convicted.
Thank you!
HAGART wrote:We must respect each other's views. I get what DeschainXIX is saying, but did you have to be so harsh? Summerlander is going through a difficult time and we must not nit-pick on every detail. He is truly trying to express himself and you must respect that.
Very considerate. But the difficult time is over. It is all true. The afterlife is real and Pecatuiah is certainly a nocturnal and diurnal force in this world. I'm 100% convinced. The evidence is overwhelming. Too many witnesses!
HAGART wrote:I too was visited by a mysterious being in the night as I was falling asleep. I put my soup in the bed pan (with a little urine) as I always do, but the "Man Of Boogy" still visited me. I'm trembling as I recall this....
See? and that confirms what I said about the soup and Pecatuiah's intentions. You've become receptive to him because I mentioned him here. In fact, he might have visited you before, in your childhood, and now the channels have opened up again.
HAGART wrote:It was dark, and I opened my eyes and saw my room. I couldn't move. Some mysterious being entered from the doorway and approached me. I tried to scream, but I couldn't. It was the scariest thing of all. It was absolutely hideous! It was wearing bell bottoms!
Did you feel like he was pressing your navel? He might be using different methods of silencing his victims. I do not think that was sleep paralysis at all.
HAGART wrote:It hunched over and whispered in my ear.... "It's time to boogy!" I saw many lights flashing on the walls and a reflective orb above my bed! I woke up suddenly in tears and a profuse sweat.
He's a real life Freddy Krueger, I tell ya'!
HAGART wrote:EDIT: I just remembered. The Man Of Boogy is vegan and I was providing Chicken Noodle Soup in my bed pan. The being is a vegan which explains it's ornery behavior. (It's the master of ornernaughts after all) I need to make it a vegetable soup next time. With urine of course to add that mysterious thing it craves known as 'Flavour' or in the western tribes of American culture in the village of Hollywood, known as 'Flavor'. Hopefully that appeases it.
It won't! By the way, are you joking?
Cuz I'm dead serious...
I just realised another thing. I think he has trouble pronouncing vowels. Peca... or puka? Lele or Lulu (as he's also known)?

About Wu Shanzhuan & Inga Svala Thórsdóttir
Since 1991, Wu Shanzhuan and Inga Svala Thorsdottir have been collaborating on the production of keenly witty, deeply humanist works, ranging from installations and sculptures to photographs and works on paper, through which they examine, question, and, ultimately, expand the value of art and the meaning of its making. Both Wu and Thorsdottir had been building vibrant careers individually before they began to work together—Wu as a leading artist in the pre-Tiananmen Square generation of Chinese Conceptualists, and Thorsdottir as a critically acclaimed Icelandic conceptualist. Merging their language-based, historically informed practices, they have created such works as To Buy is To Create (1992-2005), a lightbox printed with the titular slogan and a bar code, foregrounding the link between art and consumption and the long tradition of artists transforming everyday objects into works of art.

WASHINGTON — The subway in the nation's capital recorded 779,787 passenger entries to the system on Inauguration Day, about 70 percent of ridership on Inauguration Day in 2009.
The Metro system recorded an all-time high ridership four years ago, counting 1.12 million trips.
Metro says that, unlike four years ago, Inauguration Day fell Monday on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. That meant more people were off work and not commuting.
Metro hasn't said where Monday's total falls on its list of all-time high ridership. But the day doesn't even make it into the top 20, which includes days when there were Washington Nationals home baseball games, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, the annual Cherry Blossom Festival and the state funeral for President Ronald Reagan. More than 830,000 people rode trains on each of those days.
Metro spokesman Dan Stessel says Monday's total is about 50,000 more than an average weekday and three to four times greater than ridership on other holidays.
Metro says the difference between a regular day and Monday, though, was that most people were trying to use a small cluster of stations. That meant lines at some stations that snaked for blocks. Four stations were also temporarily closed because of crowding and because of delays caused by a train that broke down on a line in northern Virginia and a signal problem. Metro says on a regular weekday, ridership is more evenly distributed among the system's 86 stations.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill to Star in 1996 Olympic Bombing Film
Jonah Hill will play Richard Jewell.
Last week, in our post about ten other Olympic stories that deserve biopics, we said that the story of the 1996 Atlanta bombing and Richard Jewell would make a perfect action movie. Hollywood listened! Deadline reports that Fox has purchased the rights to "The Ballad of Richard Jewell," a 1997 Vanity Fair article about how Jewell went from hero to villain to redeemed. Jonah Hill is attached to play Jewell, and his Wolf of Wall Street buddy Leonardo DiCaprio will play Jewell's unorthodox lawyer and friend who helped clear his name. Their friendship will involve far fewer Quaaludes this time, but ironically much more media attention.

Almost Famous: The Bootleg Cut (US - BD RA)
Gabe takes to the road with the best fake band of 1973 with this Blu-ray disc
15 year old aspiring rock music critic William Miller's (Patrick Fugit) dreams come true when his idol, Creem journalist Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman) hires him to review a local Black Sabbath concert. When he gets to the concert William discovers he's not on 'the list', and is locked out of the arena. Later, he talks his way into the show by stoking the egos of Sabbath's opening act, Stillwater. Stillwater takes a shine to the boy, and invite him to their next show. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone magazine contacts William with a job offer, and he suggests a piece on his new friends. Soon the young writer finds himself on the road with the up and coming band, where he befriends a group of touring groupies, including the charming and beautiful 'Penny Lane' (Kate Hudson), a mysterious girl desperately in love with Stillwater's lead guitarist Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup).
I do not get the love for Cameron Crowe. Fast Times at Ridgemont High is more director Amy Heckerling's victory (and I'll even crawl out on a limb to say that Clueless is better anyway), Say Anything is a sappy joke of a cult hit (yeah, you heard me, Generation X), Singles had a shelf life of a brown-spotted banana, Jerry McGuire is only good for dated catch-phrases, Vanilla Sky was a pale shadow of Abre Los Ojos, and, well, I haven't seen Elizabethtown, but don't know anyone else that has either, which says something for its pop culture impact. Crowe's brand of romanticized nostalgia is easy to swallow, thin on calories, and about as challenging as playing checkers with a headless chicken.
…Well, except for this one time when he made one of the best and most enduring films of the last decade. I suppose that was kind of impressive.
I believe that Almost Famous endures because every inch of its on-paper concept says it shouldn't. Coming of age tales are passé, nostalgia is a criminally easy means to capture an audience, and autobiographical movies really shouldn't be longer than two hours, tops. Objectively speaking, Almost Famous might be the most narcissistic major motion picture ever made, especially this longer, even more self-indulgent director's cut. God help us, it even ends with a heavy handed, touchy-feely moral.
Crowe finds a relatively original comedic voice to manage the more over-told elements of this story. The soft edges of this humourous streak (and I'd call Almost Famous a comedy over a drama in most respects) don't dull the narrative edge, even when it dips into the low-brow realms of slapstick. One of the most endearing running gags is the consistent reaction to William's mother, who disarms everyone with her militant, no-nonsense parenting ('She really freaked me out'). These brief jokes both lighten the mood, and serve to keep the mother in the story without stopping the plot. Sometimes Crowe's sense of nostalgia hurts the film, as he includes a few too many in jokes for his own amusement (the 'I'm on drugs' bit successfully transcends this problem), and it can be hard to really care about some of the more important players' theatrics, especially on repeat viewings. But the tone is relatively consistent, and to borrow a phrase from my British buddies, Crowe isn't afraid to 'take the piss' out of the melodrama and every turn, which makes the whole experience all the sweeter.
Almost Famous is also far from an artless, point and shoot exercise. Crowe doesn't go out of his way to bring camera acrobatics to the audience's attention, but his shot choices occasionally generates lyrical visuals, and the editing practices create an atmosphere that recalls real memories. There's also a subtle sense of point of view, like shots that peak around corners, or over an extra's shoulder. In general the film inhabits a space between rough, documentary filmmaking, and Crowe's usual colourful simplicity. Some period films are love letters to an era ( American Graffiti), while others are love letters to genre ( Miller's Crossing). Almost Famous manages to act as love letters to era, genre, and, perhaps most importantly, to writing, specifically music criticism. The utter joy with which Crowe recalls his relationship with Lester Bangs is the real heart of the entire film. Bangs has more of a positive effect on William's life than his mother, sister, band, or Penny (especially Penny, who looking back, reveals herself as a rather reprehensible, self-obsessed character), and his dialogue is unforgettably tangy ('It takes them (the Boxtops) less than two minutes to accomplish what Jethro Tull takes hours not to accomplish.').
Many of the film's achievements rest on the cast's shoulders, especially lead Patrick Fugit, who sadly hasn't gone on to the bigger and better roles since landing in the public eye in the role of William. Sure, he's still working, and is always a highlight, but sometimes it feels like Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg are living the career he earned with this performance (I say as a fan of both of those actors). And the casting victories don't end with the lead, the supporting cast is flecked with soon to be bigger names, like Zooey Deschanel, Billy Crudup, Jason Lee (who broke away from Kevin Smith with this one), and an actress known up to that point only as Goldie Hawn's daughter – Kate Hudson. Coen Brothers favourite Frances McDormand and Hudson were both nominated Best Supporting Actress during the 2000 Oscars. Hudson's performance set her career aflame, but she never really cashed in the good will the role gave her. Personally, I'm more impressed with McDormand on successive viewings. William's mother at first appears to be a bit of a cliché, and her presence in the film is usually in the form comedic relief, but she's a relatively complex character, one that needs to be an obstacle without being a villain. McDormand plays the character with just enough charm that we like her, feel sorrow for her, and in the end are happy when William returns to her.
Almost Famous makes its US Blu-ray debut here, and though it's an overall upgrade over the DVD release (the director's cut was crammed onto a single disc with extras and a DTS soundtrack), it's a bit of a disappointment overall. Like the DVD release, this transfer suffers from sharpening artefacts, specifically edge enhancement. This problem increases during wide shots, where the white lines increase frequency, and other highlights appear a bit blown-out. Grain isn't a huge deal, but there is quite a bit of noticeable artefacts like dirt, flecks of white, and minor print damage. Strangely enough, the reinserted scenes are the most well maintained and clean moments in the whole transfer. Crowe uses a lot of big facial close-ups, and these prove to be noticeably sharper than those found on the DVD (to a fault if you don't want to notice minor facial hair on the actresses), but overall details are inconsistent, occasionally delving in to the downright fuzzy (see the scene towards the end of the film where Penny tells William her real name). Almost Famous is meant to look older than it is, and it does often feel like an authentic period feature, so arguably a precise and sharp transfer wouldn't serve the film. However, this transfer verges on bad so often I almost recommend against the double dip.
The new transfer doesn't impress, but this new, uncompressed DTS-HD Master Audio track is noticeably louder, and more cleanly separated than the DVD's standard DTS sound. The vast majority of the film's sound is built around the music, including both live concert moments, and standard score/soundtrack music. There's not a lot here to make Almost Famous comparable to something like Transformers, but as far as music heavy track go you could do a whole lot worse. One of the more exciting aural bits comes towards the beginning of the film, when little William puts down the needle on The Who's Tommy. The sound starts scratchy and soft from the middle, and slowly bleeds into the stereo channels, eventually even making some impressive rear channel directional effects taken directly from the song. The concert sequences are another source of aural amassment. This track captures the feel of a live performance, minus the more overwhelming elements. Even more impressive is the rear and stereo representation of the back stage scenes. You could swear that Black Sabbath was playing right outside your house. But, of course, the most incredible sequence for aggressive audio is the plane scene, which rocks every channel from side to side, tears up the rear speakers with realistic thunder effects, and punches the LFE with startling impact noises.
The extras here match the previous 'Untitled Bootleg Cut' release, with the exception of the original theatrical cut of the film. I very much prefer this longer version, even if it is quite long, but the theatrical cut isn't available at all on Blu-ray, which is a bummer and an oversight the way I see it. These extras begin with Cameron Crowe's director's commentary, which features not his actors, his cinematographer, his editor, or even his song writing wife, but his real life mother. This track ranks among my all time favourite film commentaries. Minus his mother, Crowe would likely still be a solid commentator, and he spends the majority of the track discussing the technical aspects of filmmaking, but with his mother in the room Crowe is forced to recall his actual teenhood. The director and his mother discuss the true stories behind the film's most indelible scenes, and it's rather shocking how close everything but the love triangle follows real life.
Following a brief audio introduction to the set is 'The Making of Almost Famous' (24:0, SD), a fluffy, but reasonably informative elongated trailer. This EPK is best for its images of the real Cameron Crowe as a kid, hanging out with rock stars. The section on casting is also good stuff, including Patrick Fugit's audition tape, and the section on teaching the actors to be rock stars is pretty adorable. Next is a real, on camera interview with the real Lester Bangs, complete with a Cameron intro (2:00, SD), followed by a list of Crowe's top albums of 1973, with audio descriptions from the man himself, a 'Fever Dog' music video (4:40, SD), a 'Love Comes and Goes' video with introduction (3:50, SD), a 'Small Time Blues' extended scene (2:50, SD), a deleted 'Stairway to Heaven' sequence that begs the viewer to play the song themselves since the production didn't get the rights to the song (12:10, SD), deleted footage from Stillwater's Cleveland concert (15:40, SD), seven of Crowe's Rolling Stone Articles, 'B-Sides' rehearsal footage (5:20, SD), the Oscar winning script, and a trailer.
People quote Jerry McGuire to this day, and that moment where John Cusack holds a boombox over his head will be referenced until the end of time, but for me Cameron Crowe's most enduring cinematic legacy will be the magical moment in Almost Famous where a bus full of people making up with each other by singing along to Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer'. This longer 'Bootleg Cut' is the ideal version of the film, and it's a joy to finally have it on region A Blu-ray, even if the image quality is a bit less than satisfying. I could've also done with a few new extras (like a belated 10th anniversary featurette), but the classic features still scratch the itch, especially Crowe's commentary with his mother.

I want to run a bit the day after, even if its .25 a mile.
I don't see what you gain from that. When I ran my first marathon my quads were sore for 4 - 5 days. I was walking down stairs backwards. I went for a run with only one day off and I wish I hadn't. It was less than a half hour but it really sucked. My form was terrible. I'm glad none of the neighbors saw me because it must have looked pretty damn funny. If I had to do it over, and I will September, I'd do some walking for at least 3 - 4 days before I even try running. If you just stick to walking and / or you cross training you'd be better off in my opinion, especially if you're sore, which I think you will be.

Dude, Steamtown? I run it every year. I live right on the course. Those hills are my training ground. I just run really slow the day after. Although last year, not so good for me (under-trained). I know that if I don't run within the first two days, the soreness does not even think about going away. But if I do something small, I start feeling better by day two.
I think srlopez did the 52 in one year thing. I kinda remember reading about it at another running site. He ran every weekend for a long time. I am guessing he has tried both approaches.
I bet srlopez takes the time between marathons off when he's doing a double or triple -- am I right?

I'm working my way through Virgil's 4th Eclogue and am having trouble identifying the type of subjunctive in the lines below.
non me carminibus vincet nec Thracius Orpheus
nec Linus, huic mater quamvis atque huic pater adsit,
Orphei Calliopea, Lino formosus Apollo.
I think this goes something like:
"The Thracian(s), Orpheus, and Linus shall not surpass me in songs, although the mother to this Orpheus, Calliopea, and the father to this Linus, handsome Apollo, may help/support [them]."
A few assumptions I have made are:
1. the nec...nec cancel out and become positive because of the non, which I believe is possible from Gildersleeve 449.
2. the huic Orphei...huic Lino are in the dative because adesse can take the dative. I also think that the huics may not need to be included in the translation because they only function as a placeholder for the substantive they represent, and this allows the metre to work -- similar to Catullus 100.
So, can anyone help me identify what kind of subjunctive "adsit" is?

Hillsborough man arrested for Deering cemetery vandalismBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
December 19. 2012 4:19PM
DEERING - Based on tips from the community, police arrested a Hillsborough man Tuesday evening for allegedly damaging 26 gravestones in Appleton Cemetery last month.
William C. Segnitz, 18, of Hillsborough, was charged with felony interfering with cemeteries or grave markers. A maintenance crew discovered the damage to the granite and marble gravestones - some from the 19th century - when they recently returned to the cemetery to conduct monthly upkeep of the town-owned property located along Deering Center Road - Route 149 - near the Hillsborough border.
Many residents and officials in the area feel the damage occurred in November.
After police chief James Pushee received information and leads from area residents last week, Capt. Thomas Cavanaugh interviewed several witnesses as part of the investigation, which led to a warrant to search Segnitz's home.
With the assistance of a neighboring agency, Cavanaugh located and arrested Segnitz, who was released on personal recognizance and is scheduled to be arraigned in 6th Circuit Court Jan. 17.

The U.S. Dollar Index (NYBOT:DXM14) is getting trounced across the board as we roll into today's North American session trade. The broad based weakness in the greenback has driven the EUR/USD to 2-month highs above 1.3900, the GBP/USD to 5-year highs above 1.6900, and the NZD/USD to nearly 3-year highs above .8750. While we've touched on GBP/USD and NZD/USD already this week, we haven't had a chance to delve into the drivers of the EUR/USD yet.
From a fundamental perspective, the most recent catalyst for euro strength was today's Services PMI data. Though not as strong as the corresponding release out of the UK, the report was generally constructive with the final Eurozone reading coming in at 53.1 as expected. Encouragingly, the data from regional laggard Spain was surprisingly strong, coming in at 56.5 vs. expectations of 54.3 and a previous reading of 54.0. Combined with a much better-than-anticipated unemployment report earlier today, the PMI report drove Spanish 10yr bond yields down to an all-time low of just 2.96%.
From here, traders will start to look ahead to Thursday's European Central Bank meeting, though most expect the ECB to remain on hold despite the region's ongoing battle with deflation. Last month, ECB President Draghi explicitly mentioned a rising euro exchange rate as a factor that could prompt the bank to act, and the EUR/USD has risen 200 pips since then, but most see the psychological 1.40 level as Draghi and Company's tipping point; as long as the EUR/USD stays below the 1.4000 level ahead of Thursday's ECB meeting, the central bank may remain on hold for another month.
Speaking of the price action, today's rally has driven the EUR/USD through previous resistance at the 1.3900 level, bringing the 2.5-year high at 1.3965 to within striking distance. Today's rally confirms the breakout from a 3-month symmetrical triangle pattern, but given the likelihood of ECB action if the pair continues to rally, we're skeptical that the measured move target all the way up at 1.4300 will be reached.
That said, the pair is currently showing a Bullish Marubozu Candle* on the daily chart, suggesting strong near-term bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the MACD is showing growing bullish momentum by trending higher above its signal line and the "0" level. Finally, the RSI indicator has broken above its corresponding triangle pattern, confirming the move in price and strengthening the bullish bias. In the short-term, a continued rally toward previous resistance at 1.3965, followed by the critical 1.4000 level is favored, though a reversal back below 1.3900 would shift the near-term bias back to neutral.
*A Marubozu candle is formed when prices open very near to one extreme of the candle and close very near the other extreme. Marubozu candles represent strong momentum in a given direction.

Centrino 6300 Installation issues.Brierson Sep 17, 2011 6:10 AM
Okay, I've been working on this issue for nearly 10 hours a day for the last 3 days, constantly querying google and trying different installation methods and I'm now at a loss short of replacing my motherboard. Not to mention, I'm fairly sure my girlfriend doesn't believe me when I tell her I've almost got it figured out anymore.
Note:It may be important to know that this adapter is being installed in a mini pci-e to pci-e adapter in a desktop before reading on.
Issue: During initial installation of drivers for the 6300 one of several outcomes occur.
1.) BSOD indicating a driver issue NETwNs64.sys while detecting hardware.
2.) System lockup requiring hard restart.
3.) Driver installs but leaves hardware inoperable (code 39 cannot load drivers for the device).
Steps taken:
1.) Reformatted windows 7 x64 w/ sp1 no updates. Same results.
2.) Reformatted windows 7 x64 w/ sp1 all updates to current. Same results.
3.) Reformatted windows 7 x64 w/ sp1; started in audit mode and attempted install. No dice.
4.) Re-attempted steps 1-3 while trying the auto driver selector.
5.) 6300 installed in laptop to confirm it wasn't a bad adapter, It installed successfully, no problems on first attempt.
6.) 6300 installed in pcie to mini pcie bridge in alternate desktop. Also sucessfull first attempt.
7.) 6300 installed in intended computer with all peripherals unplugged or turned off in BIOS except serial (no switch in BIOS)
8.) Pulled video card from x16 slot and put 6300 there in case it was a problem with the x1 slot, accessed computer via remote desktop. also unsuccessful.
9.) Lit some insense, put my wallut in my shirt pocket, moved all my change from my right pocket to my left and breathed through my mouth. Clearly didn't work.
Steps I've considered:
1.) Attempting with XP or Ubuntu and same hardware.
2.) Moving intended system drive to alternate desktop and installing windows and drivers then moving system drive back to intended computer.
3.) Purchasing a new socket 939 mobo with the fear it would have the same issues.
4.) Purchasing a cheap AM3 board and cpu and being out $100 after spending too much on this adapter already.
Only thing I can come up with is drivers being loaded out of order while the hardware is detected or a conflict somewhere.Maybe the PCI bridge isn't loading correctly. In my system information under conflicts/sharing it does list the pci standard pci to pci bridge several times. I did mean to see what the other desktop listed, as it is a similar setup. I'm not sure if it's normal behavior though as it's mostly listing it with the HD 5450 (video card) which is also pci-e.
I seem to sense someone asking for a minidump. I'll post one tomorrow if it would help anyone track this down with me.
Hardware setup: (HTPC Solution)
OSWindows 7 x64 w/ sp1
Motherboard M2N68-LA
CPU Athlon x2 4800+
Ram 4GB ddr2 800
SSD for OSPatriot Torqx 2
HDD for User Folders WD 2TB
Input Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
No overclocking or ridiculous options in BIOS since it's an OEM Compaq motherboard.
Any and all suggestions are welcome with open arms and hopefully this thread will help anyone else who may have this or a similar issue.

It is Mickey Mouse's birthday today thus I decided to dedicate a blog post on my day at Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland while I was in Paris. We did not reach the parks very early. We first lost our way at the train stations, then decided to visit the Premium Outlets for some shopping before dropping by the parks. Though late, we still enjoyed ourselves for the rest of the day.
Even though, my children were not with us on this trip, I still wanted to visit Disneyland. It is one off my bucket list and I am left with the last to visit, Disneyland Florida, for now and another upcoming one in Shanghai (opening in 2015).
We missed most of the shows and parades but it is all right. Pictures taken and place visited. I bought a 2 parks 1 day hopper tickets. So off we go to Disneyland park.
There is always something magical about Disneyland whether is nearer in Hong Kong or further away in Paris. Jonathan said, this is the only place with so many princesses (with the little girls dressed in their favorite princesses costumes). We seemed to be teleported into a fairytale land and for a moment, we were detached from the reality world, away from worries and stress. To children, this is a place where dreams come true and for adults like us, it is a place where we can live our dreams (even for the slightest moment). I love the Small, Small World rides, so vibrant. By placing the different countries' culture in one place shows that everyone can live in harmony. The exciting and 'life-threatening' rides are no longer my cup of tea. Maybe I have grown older and became less brave. So glad that Kaitlyn is not here with us else, we would be forced to ride with her.
Of all the Disneylands that I have gone to, I love Tokyo Disneyland best maybe it bought back the most memories. I enjoyed that most even though I do not understand their language. It was my first time travelling with my first and last batch of Primary 6 graduands (a graduation cum exchange programme to Japan). I recalled the planning of rides the night before looking at all the excited faces. I took the dangerous and lungs-breaking rides with them while they watched the calm and 'lame' (to them) Electric Night parade with me. 🙂 So is there any Disneyland trips that leave you with the deepest memories?
In this post, I hereby once again wish Mickey Mouse a very

I have a problem with developers cluttering my production server with Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages. The developers need permissions on the server, but I don't want them creating packages on it. How do I prevent certain users from creating new DTS packages on my server?
Although Microsoft doesn't provide a documented way to prevent users from creating new DTS packages, you can use the following technique to keep all but the craftiest users from saving packages on your server. Enterprise Manager uses the undocumented stored procedure sp_add_dtspackage to add package information to msdb. If you remove the permission for a user to execute this procedure, the user won't be able to use Enterprise Manager to save a DTS package to msdb. Msdb is the storage location if you select SQL Server as the storage location when you save the DTS package by using the Package Designer GUI. So, this tip will prevent your developers from saving DTS packages to your production server from the GUI.
A developer might get around this roadblock by using the DTS object model and a COM design tool such as Visual Basic (VB) to create a package, then saving the package to Meta Data Services on SQL Server. This technique is advanced, so removing the EXECUTE permission for sp_add_dtspackage will keep most SQL Server users from creating new packages because they won't be able to save them.
Use this tip with caution, and remember to check for behavior changes on your system after you apply a hotfix or service pack. I don't know of any damage that changing the EXECUTE permission for sp_add_dtspackage can cause, but you usually shouldn't tamper with undocumented system objects.

Call me dull, but I've never been a Tiki torch kind of guy. And the last time we lit an outdoor party we used oil lamps – which, because of the flammable nature of oil, almost ended in disaster. So my task before our next party was to build a lantern that's low-key and electric (to ensure that only ribs were barbecued and not the neighbor's dog).
This lamp can be used in a variety of ways. It looks great on a patio table, or you could glue 6″-long dowels into the feet and stake it in your garden. Either way, it's going to stand up to the elements.

Story Highlights
Overnight low temperatures are on the rise.
Increased greenhouse gases, including water vapor, act to trap more daytime heat during the overnight hours.
Rising nighttime temperatures have a big impact on health, especially during heat waves when the body doesn't get a chance to recover from the stress of intense daytime heat.
Click below for a high-resolution version WITH a title - WITHOUT a title
When you talk about summers getting hotter, the first thing people usually think of are hot days. But rising overnight low temperatures are also an important part of the equation. For example, Hartford, Conn. just experienced their warmest July ever without breaking a single daily high temperature record.
As the graphic above makes clear, summer overnight temperatures in Florida have been rising steadily since 1970, when heat-trapping greenhouse gases began to have a strong effect on Earth's climate. Click the link below for an interactive chart that looks at these trends from a different angle. This graph shows the number of days each summer when the nighttime temperature stayed above 75 degrees. As you can see, that number has been up over the past 40 years in Fort Myers (which is consistent with the trend of warming summer nights nationwide).
Overnight low temperatures have been rising faster than daytime high temperatures thanks to a number of factors. Greenhouse gases, including water vapor, and clouds can play roles in trapping daytime heat and keeping summer nights sultry. With that trend expected to continue across the U.S., rising overnight temperatures will be an important climate change indicator to track.
Rising nighttime temperatures also have a big impact on health. When a hot day is followed by a night where the temperature stays above 80°, the body doesn't have a chance to recover. Without access to air conditioning, the risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke rises dramatically - especially among the ill and the elderly. The risks are even greater when these days group together into a heat wave, which we are seeing more of in a warming world.

After a slow start, Eminence's hard work is starting to pay off. Now, coach Steve Frommeyer hopes the team's momentum will carry over for the rest of the season — accumulating with the Class A, Region 3 Championships the week of May 19 and the Kentucky State Track and Field Championships May 30-31.
"Right now, our athletes are really excited about track, and it's something I want to build off of," Frommeyer said after his squad competed in the Carroll County All-Comers last Thursday afternoon.

As Jobs Surge, Hurdles Linger
Dow Tops 17000 as Investors Look Past Recovery's Soft Spots
The U.S. economic expansion is entering its sixth year with the best stretch of job growth in almost a decade. Beneath the shiny exterior, however, lurk soft patches that worry economists and policy makers.
Investors on Thursday seized on robust jobs numbers—not lingering soft spots—and drove the Dow Jones Industrial Average past 17000 for the first time. The Dow closed up 92.02 points, or 0.5%, at 17069.26 in holiday-shortened trading....

Statewide summary helps anglers find fishing hotspots
PRATT — Each year, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) posts an online tool that answers every angler's most pressing question: "Where can I find the best fishing?" For some, this means the best shot at a species-specific lunker of a lifetime; for others, it may just mean catching a lot of fish, no matter what size or species. Whatever your angling goal, the 2011 Kansas Fishing Forecast is an indispensable tool that forecasts fishing prospects in public waters throughout the state.
Results from fisheries biologists' fall sampling efforts make the 2011 Kansas Fishing Forecast possible. This information is formulated from data collected through annual lake monitoring, which includes test netting, electroshocking, and creel surveys.
Because sampling techniques differ depending on the size of water body, there are three categories — reservoirs (waters larger than 1,200 acres), lakes (waters from 20 to 1,200 acres), and ponds (waters smaller than 20 acres).
Table categories have been created for popular species and include a Density Rating, Preferred Rating, Lunker Rating, Biggest Fish (the largest fish taken in sampling), and Biologist's Rating. Not every lake is sampled each year, so a separate category — Three-Year Density Average — provides information on those lakes not sampled the previous fall.
The Density Rating is the number of high-quality size or larger fish sampled per unit of sampling effort. Quality size, listed in parentheses at the top of the Density Rating column, is the length of fish considered acceptable to most anglers and is different for each species. The higher the Density Rating, the more high-quality or larger fish per surface acre in the lake. Theoretically, a lake with a Density Rating of 30 has twice as many high-quality fish per acre as a lake with a Density Rating of 15.
The Preferred Rating identifies how many above-average-size fish a water contains. For example, a lake may have a good density of crappie, but few fish over 10 inches. The Preferred Rating helps an angler find waters with more big fish.
The Lunker Rating is similar to the Density Rating, but it shows the relative density of lunker-sized fish in the lake. A lunker is a certain length of fish considered a trophy by most anglers. It also differs with each species and is listed in parentheses at the top of the Lunker Rating column. For example, most anglers consider a channel catfish longer than 16 inches a high-quality fish, a 24-incher "preferred," and a 28-incher a trophy. Many lakes may have a lunker rating of 0, but this does not mean there are no big fish in that lake. It just means that no lunker fish were caught during sampling, and they may be less abundant than in lakes with positive Lunker Ratings.
Anglers can use the Density Rating and Lunker Rating together. For those who want numbers, go with the highest Density Rating. For those who want only big fish, go with the Lunker Rating. Somewhere in the middle might be a better choice. A lake with a respectable rating in all three categories should provide the best overall fishing opportunities.
The Biggest Fish column lists the weight of the largest fish caught during sampling. A heavy fish listed here can give the lunker angler confidence that truly big fish are present.
The Biologist's Rating adds a human touch to the forecast. Each district fisheries biologist reviews the data from annual samplings of their assigned lakes. This review considers environmental conditions that may have affected the samplings. They also consider previous years' data. A rating of P (poor), F (fair), G (good), and E (excellent) will be in the last column. Sometimes the Density Rating may not agree with the Biologist's Rating. This will happen occasionally and means the Density Rating may not accurately reflect the biologist's opinion of the fishery.
A downloadable version of the 2011 Kansas Fishing Forecast is available at the KDWP website, www.kdwp.state.ks.us. Click "Other Services/Publications/Fishing." Printed copies of the forecast will be available at KDWP offices by the end of February, and the March/April issue of Kansas Wildlife & Parks magazine will present the forecast as a full-color article. (For subscriptions, phone 1-800-288-8387.)
Whether the angler is after big fish or more fish, the forecast will help find them. Weekly Fishing Reports on fishing conditions at waters throughout the state are also posted on the KDWP website and complement the forecast.
