So the talk is that Marlene Coudray say in a UNC forum last night that she is not an egg....she can't be poached.....she knows who her leader is....does Prakash know who his leader is??????Them's fighting words boy!
Ummm, Marlene, when people talked about poaching, they meant illegal hunting, not cooking....just saying....I'm sure the UNC has gotten a gem of a political mind in you.
So the PM under heat for the house in La Fantaisie. Anybody remember that she had condemned the house? Called it the Prime Ministerial Palace and vowed that she would never live there?????? Well it seems like this may be the one promise the PM has kept from her 2010 campaign....it is alleged that the PM lives in South Trinidad, while the State has been housing and feeding and transporting the PM's sister and three of her nephews. Yesterday the PNM's right wing defender Marlene McDonald get a little touch of the political accusations football and make a dash down the flank, accusing the PM of abusing State resources once again. The PM seemed caught with her pants down when reporters questioned her. She denied that they were driving PM1. Which is ironic since radio personality Tony Lee of i95.5 reported seeing Ms Newton exiting PM1 in the area of the NAPA building on Carnival Monday morning....and he admits he never saw anyone else exit the car....maybe he shoulda walk slower...because I feel he just missed the PM...she was there too...she really was...wasn't she? Kamla wouldn't lie about abusing state property would she? She did admit that her sister and family either visit or stay at the PM's official residence from time to time. What does from time to time mean? Are we likely to hear in a couple days or weeks that in fact the reports we are hearing have more than a grain of truth to them and that the PM is indeed abusing state property? Will we hear too that the Govt Travel Card has been abused by the PM also?
Now, if the PNM follows its regular playbook, then they giving the PM rope with which to hang herself. On every occasion that this Opposition has laid accusations at the Government's feet they have had documentary evidence with which to back things up....hark back recently to the Shoppin Toppin card scandal...Roodal Moonilal take plenty basket when The Keith raised the issue in Parliament and implied that the bill was $4000. Moonilal couldn't scoff hard enough at the figure...ignoring that the real issue here is not the amount of money, but the abuse of the card....he loudly proclaimed to Rowley, that the card done pay off....what is $4000? Days later when the statements were leaked to the media it's almost $70,000 worth of credit card debt and at least 4 breaches of policy for use of the credit card.....so Kamla, for your sake, I hope the PNM aint have more dirt on you and you aint get ketch in a big fat dirty lie....oh, who am I kidding...I hope they have the dirt....because your constant misspeaking, misstepping, nepotism and corruption has me thoroughly disgusted with your failed brand of female leadership!
Me aint know about you, but Claxton Bay seems like more of a hotspot than Beetham and Laventille these days....between homes being firebombed, maxis transporting workers being attacked and general protest actions, that TCL Strike zone sounding like a war zone. And I fear it will only get worse as strikers become more and more frustrated over the continued running of the cement plant by strike breakers. Keep an eye folks. Unless some settlement happens soon, I am expecting a further outbreak of violence.
And speaking of Beetham, looks like reprisal murders are heating up in the neighbourhood and a turf war may erupt....but Maxis transporting workers should be safe.
Oh, CAL owing Airports Authority $60m. And there is the possibility that Cable & Wireless might be considering selling its stake in TSTT. These are two crucial business stories to keep your eyes on.
By the way, Kamla's hope that new oil finds are going to boost the economy have been rubbished by Colm Imbert, who has pointed out that the country isn't likely to see any benefits from it in under three years since exploration is only now underway.
Imbert also implied that the numerous anto-Govt protests in South Trinidad were actually orchestrated by UNC elements. If this is so, then Jack Warner has proven to be more savvy than the man who it is alleged is trying to oust him from the party, Suruj Rambachan. Rambachan claiming these days that he is at Jack's mercy. Which is too funny and ironic. The other irony is that after all the grand charging and removal of the PURE programme from under Warner, the Prime Minister has returned it to him in order to return peace to the constituencies....one wonders who really advises Kamla and her Deck of Fools. Jack didn't choose his ministry by accident. If nothing else Jack understands politics...he understands that the most prominent and visible ministry (apart from Housing) is Works and Transport. Jack Warner is probably the only government minister that appears to be working. And while he is involved in 3 Fifa-related scandals, most Trinidadians have justified it to themselves that the scandals Jack involved in are external to the Govt....no one can say his hands have been caught in the State cookie jar.....so in short, Kamla's most obviously corrupt minister is also her hardest worker....And in interfering with the Ministry of Works she has undermined the appearance of efficiency in her government....if you can't even fix roads and box drains then what is your purpose????? You know how Trinis like to see drain building, and roads paving....you stop dat too? Yuh Mad??????
Kamla has missed her window of opportunity to get rid of Warner....there was a time when she had the majority of the population behind her, convinced that this Minister was too corrupt to be in government...but in recent months Jack, who has been battling a subtle plot to oust him from the party, appears to have a cleaner nose than most. How can Kamla justify removing Jack now in light of missteps from Shoppin Toppin and Fuad Card? Especially since Jack can point to numerous road projects that have made a difference to citizen's commuting daily. Sorry, Kamla, opportunity gone...Jack is here to stay....the level of support the rest of the party has to throw behind Ashvani shows that Jack has a stronger following in the party than even I anticipated. So I think that Jack is going to be back after March 24th.
The behaviour of this government in general has serious implications for the rest of the society. When the average citizen is struggling to manage an existence here with poor roads, bad health care, constant traffic, poor customer service, a flawed education system, and so many other facilities and infrastructure missing it has to grind and grate on people's nerves to see the PM and her ministers abusing state funds and living luxuriously, sharing the wealth with their close friends and family, while little to no economic growth takes place in the country....couple that with the continued criminal activity and murder toll...and well....This Govt HAS FAILED.
In fact, while the No Confidence Motion received a thorough beat down in the Parliament on March 2nd and 3rd....it seems that in the Parliament of public consciousness Rowley's actions have been far more successful. More and more citizens are fed up with the government, fed up with the almost daily scandals and bussing of new marks. Every morning I get up and turn on my computer to read the newspapers I wonder to myself, what new and disgusting thing going to come from this government today....and they haven't let me down. The only confidence I have in this government is that it is going to continue to fail.

Lacawac Sanctuary took a major step forward in their mission for environmental research, with a ground breaking Oct. 25th for a state-of-the-art laboratory.
Lacawac Sanctuary took a major step forward in their mission for environmental research, with a ground breaking Oct. 25th for a state-of-the-art laboratory.
Crisp autumn air surrounded the gathering as L. Arthur Watres, 90, used a gold-painted shovel to dig earth for the ceremony, from land he and his family donated in 1966 to create a non-profit foundation. True to his original vision, the 545 acre sanctuary on the northwestern, Wayne County shore of Lake Wallenpaupack remains committed to "Preservation, Education and Research."
The new lab is being funded by a $329,094 grant from the National Science Foundation. It was awarded to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in partnership with Lacawac Sanctuary to provide infrastructure and equipment improvements to meet the mission goals. A 20 by 30 foot addition to Lacawac's Visitors Center will house an analytical laboratory that will be available to research scientists and students. It is expected to be open in the Spring of 2014.
Bob Sadoski, Executive Director, told the group that he hopes this laboratory will serve as an impetus for other colleges and universities to partner with the Sanctuary. In addition, local high school and middle school students from northeastern Pennsylvania will have opportunity to come here and do field studies and perhaps be inspired in their career paths. Partnering with local secondary schools is a new feature in fulfilling Lacawac's mission.
He thanked the consistent base of members who have over the years given of their finances and volunteer hours to Lacawac. He also thanked the corporate sponsors who have been a tremendous help.
Dr. Craig Williamson, Professor at Miami University and a researcher at Lacawac, expressed special thanks to Watres, who beginning in 1952, sought out some of the leading conservationists of the day to assist in protecting Lake Lacawac and its watershed as a place for scientific research.
Studying the effects of ultra-violet radiation and advanced instrumentation are highlights of the work being done here.
Lake Lacawac is a 52-acre glacial lake, and almost all of its watershed is contained within the protected grounds of the sanctuary. Nearly pristine from human impact, the lake is seen as a unique laboratory for studying water quality and climate change.
Watres first shared his vision with Dr. Williamson in 1986. A consortium of scientists convened here the following year. After the ceremony, Watres said he was very happy about the new laboratory and was hopeful it would attract many people to Lacawac.
Miami University assisted Lacawac in funding the position of Director of Research and Education at the Sanctuary. Dr. Leslie Knoll took on this new role in the beginning of 2012. She wrote the proposal for the grant that funded the new laboratory.
She discussed their goal to make Lacawac Sanctuary a center for a worldwide study lake water quality. The laboratory will further this ambition to become a hub for Ecological Observatory Networks (EONs). Among these are the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON). EONs address environmental questions of national and international scope.
Lake Lacawac is a site member of GLEON. There are more than 60 GLEON sites in about 40 countries around the planet.
Knoll said that in the last two years, over 70 students from more than 20 institutions of higher learning have come to Lacawac to further their environmental studies.
This laboratory will expand that effort to train students in techniques and new ways to do science, she noted. This in turn will "train the next generation of environmental scientists and make the world a better place," Knoll stated.
They also plan to increase fund-raising to expand awards presented to students and early career faculty to start their projects at Lacawac. Internship opportunities will also be expanded.
Lacawac is looking to partner with local schools and environmental organizations in the region to address concerns facing the Pocono area.
Another partnership was also announced in a press release that day. Lackawac Sanctuary Foundation, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University and Drexel University have agreed to form an environmental research consortium. This will build on existing partnerships with leading universities to focus on cutting-edge global climate change and water quality studies.
Miami University in Oxford, Ohio and Drexel University in Phialdelphia have been key in developing the consortium concept.
Public involvement at Lacawac Sanctuary has supported the mission through the decades. Programs are held through the year, including nature talks and walks, workshops and music events at the historic lodge on the property. The Sanctuary also offers public hiking trails. Memberships and volunteer opportunities are available.

Okay folks, your humble Power Line servant will be guest-hosting Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" radio show tomorrow morning from 6 – 9 am eastern time, which I know is painfully early for those of you near Power Line World Headquarters in Minnesota, but is just about going-to-bed time for some of my west coast friends. (You know who you are out there, GB in Las Vegas.)
My guests will include economics correspondent extraordinaire James Pethokoukos (at 6:30 am), columnist and fellow heckler of all things liberal Jonah Goldberg (at 7:05 am), and the political analyst without peer, Michael Barone at 8:05 am.
To find the local station near you, go to the show resources page on Bill Bennett's website, and simply type in your zip code in the box, and by the magic of the Internet, a station number will pop up. Or you can listen online.
By the way, I should mention that this opportunity comes to me because Bill is away doing a book tour for his new book, The Book of Man: Readings on the Path to Manhood. Seems to me this would be the ideal book to take to a desert island, and especially the Isle of Man. (Heh.) Though my favorite "what book for the desert island?" answer is still G.K. Chesterton's: Hawkins Complete Guide to Shipbuilding.

Over the past year or so, one of the best home theater and multimedia A/V system trends to develop has been the advancements made to projectors' lamp lives and brightness capabilities. These developments are enabling dealers to place projectors in locations that were previously unfriendly to two-piece, projection-based video systems.
As good as these technologies are becoming, however, there are circumstances in which there is a need for complete light control and products like the newly announced LightBloc ZIP motorized shade from Draper.
Introduced at CEDIA Expo 2015, the LightBloc ZIP combines Draper's standard Motorized LightBloc FlexShade and its FlexShade Zip that was just introduced about a year ago. Draper explains the LightBloc ZIP has been developed for interior applications through its inclusion of room darkening fabric, a headbox and side and sill channels to provide dealers with a complete blackout solution to darken rooms.
Draper points out that its latest shade product features side channels that are only 1 3/4-inches wide and the company's zip design that prevents the shade's fabric from leaking out of the side channels.
The Ind.-based company adds some of the shades other benefits include its availability in a choice of sizes ranging up to 12 feet x 12 feet, and a choice of opaque and room-darkening materials to help the shades blend into just about any room environment.

For three decades, my father dreamed of visiting or, ideally, wintering in the southern place coined "snowbird utopia" by flocks of contented North American retirees.
That place is Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest natural lake located in eastern Jalisco state, 50 kilometres south of Guadalajara, the country's second-largest city. Ajijic (pronounced aah-hee-HEEK), the village where I was joining my father, nestles at 1,535 metres on the narrow strip of land between the central highland mountains and the lake's north shore.
Once a quaint fishing village, Ajijic and 14 other north shore villages strung from Chapala in the east to Jocotepec in the west -- collectively referred to as Lakeside or the Chapala Riviera -- have, since the 1980s, become increasingly popular with retired Canadians and Americans and are now home to 6,000 expatriates, the largest number anywhere.
In addition to the homeowners, scores more vacation or spend the winter.
They are drawn here by one of the world's best climates. With a semi-tropical average temperature of 20 C and a year-round variation of just 8 C, plus low humidity, tourists have been visiting for 139 years.
"Mexico is home to 700,000 U.S. and Canadian citizens, who have decided to exchange the cold weather for Mexico, either for retirement or long stays," says Daniel Gutierrez, director of the Mexico Tourism Board office in Vancouver.
Chapala is No. 1 for North American expats, he confirms. In addition to climate, he attributes its popularity to its proximity to Guadalajara -- with its big-city facilities including hospitals, stores like Costco and Wal-Mart, and renowned Mexican handicraft markets -- and the beach resorts of Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo. And, of course, "the cost of living in Mexico is much less."
Entering Ajijic, Mexican vendors selling succulent produce and woolly embroidered blankets line the narrowing highway. In thickening traffic, I nervously clench the wheel as I follow directions provided by Michael Eager of the family-owned, 35-year-old La Nueva Posada, the only Ajijic hotel on the lakeshore.
Turning onto a tight cobblestone lane lined with peeling painted plaster buildings that seem to be abandoned, I wonder if I've made the right turn.
As I slowly bump downhill four blocks, I notice the street's name changes, for no discernible reason, after the third block. This, I soon learn, is commonplace, making navigating the narrow, one-way streets even more challenging.
At 10 a.m., I join my father for breakfast on the Posada's tranquil outdoor patio. He's astounded that I arrive on time, certain I would get lost in the colonial street maze.
Sitting under the patio's signature giant rubber tree, I gaze past the deep lawn and tropical gardens abloom with lush flowers and plump greens to the wide gravely shore side, the swampy marshlands and lake beyond, settling on the low rise of Mount Garcia, an extinct volcano on Chapala's southern shore. The scene reminds me of B.C.'s Okanagan Valley.
Sipping coffee, I eagerly ask Dad, who arrived by taxi three days earlier, what he thinks of his dream destination.
Walking to the Posada's fence, he points to the shallow, weed-choked lake, about 75 kilometres long by 20 wide. There is no movement, not even a ripple.
"It looks like you could walk right across it," he says, clearly disappointed.
Infested with water hyacinth, state officials claim treatments are significantly reducing the weed. Nevertheless, Lake Chapala is not inviting for swimming or water sports.
Pointing to the village, which is best navigated on foot, he reports the high curbs and uneven, hazard-laden sidewalks make walking perilous, especially for folks his age.
Visiting during the summer rainy season didn't help. While picture pleasing, the already difficult-to-walk-on cobblestones were slick when wet and jarring to drive over.
Dating back at least 450 years, Ajijic -- and its infrastructure -- is old. "It is not designed to be a planned retirement community," Gutierrez explains.
"It is not a place where everyone can live happily," the website Mexico Connect warns.
But scores do.
Ted and Gail Ruddy from Toronto have wintered here several years, currently renting a home with a pool for six months at $900 monthly, plus about $200 for utilities and weekly house cleaning.
Ted cites the weather, "the real Mexico" flavour of the town, numerous events, the Canadian Club and its activities, lots of affordable quality restaurants, inexpensive alcohol, the availability of some familiar products (like President's Choice), and satellite television as reasons they choose Ajijic. Like Gutierrez, he mentions its proximity to Guadalajara as an asset and says the Mexicans are helpful and pleasant.
Judging from the bevy of newspaper ads, affordable dental and medical services are big business here, not surprisingly, as is real estate.
"We flirt with buying all the time," he says, so far finding three houses "of my dreams," ranging from $229,000 to $425,000. "The whole town seems to be on offer."
That is what we, too, discover exploring over the next five days. On most every street "for sale" signs hang.
Regardless, when departure day dawns, Dad says he does not want to return.
Lake Chapala is not the Eden he anticipated.
"Twenty or 30 years ago, it likely was a paradise," he ruminates, wishing he had visited then.
Fortunately, several other Mexican destinations are popular Canadian snowbird havens.
Rachel Davison of CARP (Canadian Association of Retired Persons) Travel reports long stays in Merida, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan are very affordable because they are older destinations, with Mazatlan being the most economical.
San Miguel de Allende ranks No. 2 with expats, adds Gutierrez. Also popular are Acapulco, Colima, Cuernavaca, Guanajuato, La Paz, Manzanillo, Morelia, Oaxaca, Puebla, and Queretaro.
Like everything, snowbird utopia is in the eye of the beholder.

Unit Leadership Enhancements are short training discussions intended to better equip pack leaders to conduct a quality Cub Scout program. These do not replace, but complement, the more formal Basic Leader Training, Cub Scout leader roundtable, and Cub Scout leader pow wow or University of Scouting offered in the district or council.
During a pack leaders' meeting, a designated leader (such as the Pack Trainer) conducts a short discussion and exercise using a Unit Leadership Enhancement outline from the Cub Scout Leader Book. Pack leaders can choose from 15 topics:
- Advancement
- Annual Program Planning
- Character Development
- Cub Scout Camping
- Family Involvement
- Leadership Training
- Membership
- National Awards
- Pack Budget Plan
- Pack Committee
- Pack Meetings
- Planning Special Events
- Policies of the BSA
- Program Evaluation
- Youth Protection
Using these leadership enhancements regularly, pack leaders should see immediate improvements in your pack's program. With a better program, Cub Scouts and their families will become more involved and supportive.

This is a great SUV.
By N H on Sunday, May 06, 2018I purchased a new Pilot EX-L for my wife in Feb. It has 2400 miles on it now. I was a bit reluctant to purchase a Pilot after reading the negative comments - poor engine power, bad handling, bad infotainment system, etc. , from some owners on this site. We also looked at the Edge and Highlander; however my wife wanted the Pilot because it drove and handled more like a car than a truck. And Im really glad she did. At 280 HP, the engine smooth, quiet, and has plenty of power. I also think the handling is quite exceptional for a large SUV. My wife claims the voice command and music off her i phone works great. The Pilot is one of the most comfortable vehicles Ive ridden in and it has loads of room. The only negativeI can find is the power tailgate doesnt fit perfectly. The seam on the left side is almost a 1/16th of an inch wider than the seam on the right side. This is an anomaly because the fit and finish inside and out on the rest of the Pilot is perfect. I highly recommend the Pilot if you are looking for an SUV this size.

Pricey car but worth it
By RD on Thursday, May 11, 2017Bought my Elite new and so I far have put 2,300 miles on it. I like cars but am not a car guy so take my review for what it is. It handles pretty well and it gets better gas milage than my 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. It drives smoother and with less jarring then my old SUV but I really wish it was better over big bumps. I have read about the 9 speed engine not being so smooth but I have not noticed it being too bad. It does not have much pickup but that help the gas milage. The collision mitigation, forward collision warning system, road departure mitigation system, cross traffic blind-sport info system & lane keeping assist system can confuse you but I am sure in time they will all become second nature to me. The one thing that people have complained about and I will too is the infotainment system. It may not mean much to others but to me it does but it take 10-15 seconds after you start the car for the radio to come on. It also takes that long to come on when you stop the car and want to sit in the car while waiting for someone. Its not a deal breaker but it is aggravating. I also wish the radio came with a knob instead of a push button slider. Overall, I like the Honda Pilot Elite and would recommend it.

Questionable purchase at this point in time.
By Shorty on Wednesday, September 07, 2016This is the 5th Honda I have owned, but the first SUV. I did all the research, read all the reviews, and test drove 18 different vehicles before purchasing the 2016 (9 speed automatic transmission) Pilot. A little over 1 year after purchasing it (purchased in summer of 2015) I started to hear chirping sounds when it shifted from 2nd to 3rd. I just walked out of the dealer in shock - I need a new transmission at only a little over 11,000 miles. Yes it is covered under warranty but I am very disappointed as this is the 3rd Honda vehicle I've owned with transmission issues. Needless to say I'm holding my breath as to to see how this plays out. Sorry Honda - last chance. I will not be buying another Honda.

Taking Care of Your Canvas
With just a little care and
attention, you can proudly display your canvas picture for many years to
With just a little care and attention, you can proudly display your canvas picture for many years to come.
Avoid placing in direct sunlight
Whilst all our canvases are laminated 1, all prints will eventually start to fade if placed in strong sunlight for long periods of time.
Keeping it clean
Generally, just using a soft dry cloth to remove dust will be sufficient to keep your canvas clean. Rarely will you need to do any more than this.
We don't recommend using a wet cloth but, because the canvas has a laminate coating1, if the need arises, a slightly moist soft cloth can be used to remove dirt, etc. In very extreme circumstances, a very mild soap solution could be used.
Always apply with care. Don't use abrasive, detergent, solvents or any form of polish. These types of cleaner will damage the coating on the canvas.
1Liquid Lamination Coating
All canvases are protected with 3 layers of water-based, liquid lamination. This non-yellowing, invisible coating enhances colours, intensifies blacks, further increases fade resistance and provides protection against handling and atmospheric gases. It "seals" the canvas surface making it easier to keep your canvas dust and dirt free.
How to re-tension the canvas
Tension wedges/keys have been inserted into the corners of the frame. All fabric may relax in time. If this happens, and the canvas appears to be sagging, it can be re-tightened by the following method.
Place your frame upright on a firm surface covered with a clean, soft covering (e.g. carpet). Gently tap each wedge once with a hammer, turning the frame for each wedge.
If, after tapping each wedge once, the canvas is still loose, repeat this process again.
Always take care. Whacking the wedges with a lump hammer isn't the best way to look after your frame. Extreme force may push the wedges through the sides of the canvas and/or split the frame.
Please note that we wouldn't expect the canvas to require re-stretching for a long time, sometimes never.

PORTLAND — The Falmouth parents on trial for allegedly allowing an underage drinking party at their home last June 16 reached an agreement with prosecutors Thursday after jurors said they were "hopelessly deadlocked" after nearly two days of deliberation.
Under the agreement, Barry and Paula Spencer must pay $6,000 in restitution, make a $2,500 donation to the Victim's Compensation Fund, complete 100 hours of community service and write a letter for publication in The Forecaster taking responsibility for their actions.
The Spencers and prosecutors said they were pleased with the agreement and are happy the trial is over.
"It was extremely difficult," Paula Spencer said outside the Cumberland County Courthouse after the 3 1/2-day trial.
The Spencers, of 35 Fieldstone Lane, Falmouth, each faced seven Class D counts of allowing a minor to possess or consume liquor. The party last year included members of the state champion Falmouth High School baseball and lacrosse teams, along with other students who showed up at the home. The Spencers' son played on the baseball team.
Walter McKee, attorney for Barry Spencer, said any reasonable mind could disagree on what happened at the party, but the important thing for the Spencers is that the case has been resolved.
"This has been, obviously, a difficult case for all parties," he said. "We are done with it, the jury could not reach a verdict and I think that says a lot. When six people on one side and six people on the other disagree that is reasonable doubt right there."
Paula Spencer's attorney, William Childs, said that there is recognition on both sides that things could have been done differently, but there was no criminal conduct and the Spencers found themselves in a difficult situation that spun out of their control.
District Attorney Stephanie Anderson said she, too, is pleased with the agreement that was reached.
"There were a lot of very bad things that could have happened (at the party) that fortunately did not happen," she said. "Nobody got injured, nobody got killed and that's very fortunate, but there were a lot of kids there who were very intoxicated and there was a lot of potential for harm there."
Anderson said she would not have pursued a second trial had the jury deadlock resulted in a mistrial.
"The thing about this jury was that there wasn't any movement, it was the same this morning as it was yesterday afternoon," she said. "I think it is the kind of issue that people feel very passionately about and I think that there were some jurors who thought, 'this could have been me.'"
At 6 p.m. Wednesday Judge Jeffrey Moskowitz polled jurors to see if having a night to sleep on the information they had would help them reach a verdict. Enough of them said yes or that it might help that Moskowitz told them to return Thursday.
But by noon there was still no movement and the agreement with the Spencers was reached.
If the Spencers comply with all aspects of the agreement by Aug. 10, the state will dismiss all charges against them.

Editor's note: On the Trail is a periodic Pocono Outdoors feature focusing on trails throughout the Poconos and nearby.
Editor's note: On the Trail is a periodic Pocono Outdoors feature focusing on trails throughout the Poconos and nearby.
Today's feature trail takes us across the Delaware River into New Jersey to a former Boy Scout camp called Camp Mohican, which is the gateway to a hike along the Rattlesnake Swamp Loop Trail, which connects to the Appalachian Trail. I was accompanied on the hike with a delightful group of Road Scholars who came from various parts of the country.
Sights, sounds and excitement began with our first step on this incredible adventure. We tunneled through colors of mountain laurel, discovered prickly woodland urchins, listened to alien sounds from above, bumped into intriguing eyeballs and towered up to new heights.
This was my introduction to Camp Mohican as well as to the 10 enthusiastic Road Scholars who registered for this guided nature hike through the Shawnee Institute.
Camp Mohican is near Blairstown, N.J. Our trip leader on the 6-mile hike was my good friend Len Rue, a world-renowned wildlife photographer. We were joined by two additional Shawnee Institute guides — Cortney Gill and a man called Alder, who offered hiking assistance and camaraderie. I was to introduce the group to the natural wonders of the Poconos and, based upon the diverse amounts of plants and animals found along the trail, I had more than a mouthful and handful to share.
Len planned the hike to begin at Camp Mohican, a former Boy Scout camp now owned by the federal government and leased to the Appalachian Mountain Club. The camp road leads to the trail head of Rattlesnake Swamp Loop Trail. The trail bypasses a secluded glacial wetland called Catfish Pond. It parallels Rattlesnake Swamp for several miles through a deciduous forest before it ascends to the intersection of the Appalachian Trail. The trail travels southwest along Kittatinny Ridge for several miles before intersecting with the Rattlesnake Swamp connector trail and then descends to where we started.
We began our early-morning hike on a most delightful day with plenty of sunshine and low humidity — the perfect hiking weather.
The gravel road that led to Rattlesnake Swamp Trail was bordered by lush vegetation composed of fruiting shrubs such as highbush blueberry, male-berry, arrow-wood and elderberry. This created the perfect habitat for the eastern catbirds, song sparrows, American redstarts and common yellowthroats. The tandem of birds sang a melodious announcement to our hiking brigade.
We then entered Rattlesnake Swamp Trail and began the second course of our outdoor adventure. Catfish Pond greeted us along the way and shared a pristine reflection of the neighboring mountainside. Floating blossoms of fragrant water-lily dotted the pond's tranquil surface, while dozens of green frogs "churnked" from along its edge.
Farther along the trail, we ventured into one of the most incredible floral displays I can recall, as thousands of mountain laurels were in full bloom. We tunneled through the colorful canopy and entered into a world of rose-colored bouquets. The group continued uphill through a mixed hardwood forest of oak, maple, tulip and birch — home to the many woodland salamanders, called red efts, that crossed our path.
But the woodland urchins that I found on the forest floor were the most intriguing. I picked up a ball of spines and informed the group it was the fruit of the American chestnut. I pointed to the towering survivor, more than 60 feet tall, that had produced these edible nuts.
A distant noise grew louder as we hiked farther uphill. The continuous high-pitched buzzing of 17-year cicadas emanated throughout the forest. We found a few cicadas and admired their bright-red eyes and chunky bodies, but the boisterous symphony of these peculiar bugs became so annoying, I called it a case of "tree-top tinnitus."
We reached the Appalachian Trail intersection and proceeded southwest toward the Catfish Fire Tower. Suddenly, a dragonfly landed on hiking guide Alder's shoulder. He walked toward me as the insect remained perched, and I gently lifted the dragonfly and identified it as a Harlequin darner.
We made it to the top of the mountain and ate lunch beneath the fire tower. Some of us climbed the 60-foot tower, which offered incredible panoramic views of forested New Jersey and the endless Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
Before we continued on the hike, a fluttering, grayish insect whizzed by me, and I quickly snatched it on the wing. The critter turned out to be a big-eyed click beetle. The group gathered around the 2-inch beetle to hear the "click" as it forcefully snapped its head and thorax forward. They also admired its two beautiful, fake black "eyes" on its gray-colored thorax.
Prior to our descent down a steep, rocky grade, trip leader Len ventured off the path and led us to a rocky escarpment that offered an incredible view of farmlands and rolling hills below as well as colorful wildflowers such as Carolina rose, Venus looking-glass and whorled loosestrife beneath our feet.
The downhill loop back to Camp Mohican was somewhat challenging but well worth the effort. The Road Scholars were quite impressed with our adventure, and Len and our hiking team did a phenomenal job.
The timing was just right with noisy cicadas, prickly chestnuts, daring dragonflies, clicking heads and magnificent mountain laurels — all thanks to our sister state of New Jersey, which offered a fantastic hike full of fun, adventure and color.

7 Refreshing Outdoor Showers
Creative design ideas from simple kits to elegant personal waterfalls
This weekend project has three basic parts: two wing walls and a center pole with the plumbing attached. All materials are available at the Home Depot.
Time: One weekend (4 hours of labor, plus drying time for sealer)
Difficulty: 3 (on a scale of 1–10; requires modest woodworking skills)
Cost: About $170
Measuring 6 feet by 9 feet, this former light well functions as an outdoor shower off a master bedroom in a San Francisco Victorian. A tall outside wall hides it from view; you get to it through French doors.
After owners Alison and David Cameron moved in, they hired a plumber to hook up the shower. The redwood 2-by-6 decking serves as duckboard: water trickles between the boards and falls to a lower area with a drain.
The deck opens to the sky and makes a welcoming, wind-sheltered location for houseplants that periodically come out for a shower of their own. A shelf along one wall provides extra space for smaller plants.
This poolside shower fulfills many requirements: It offers privacy for rinsing off after swimming but is open to the landscape; it is fun for kids and adults; and it is stylish.
Interior designers Angelique Swingle and Marcy Voyevod made it happen with Lightscreen panels. Lightscreens are a modern take on traditional stained-glass windows. They employ translucent marbles suspended in an aluminum grid to block views ― but not light. "The manufacturers let you pick marble colors and levels of translucency," Swingle says. "We selected colors based on the colors of the surrounding landscape."
Lightscreen panels are available through Architectural Systems (800/793-0224).
Design: Angelique Swingle and Marcy Voyevod Design, Oakland, CA (510/433-0724).
Bathing outdoors is the height of mountain living, especially when done in a rugged style. With its rough natural textures in concrete and stone, this two-person outdoor shower, tucked under the overhang off the master bedroom, provides a thoroughly invigorating alpine experience.
Rustic materials. Board-formed concrete and a stone floor accentuate the rugged outdoor theme.
Privacy and convenience. The reclaimed-redwood screen lets in light and air yet supplies ample coverage while showering under Moen fixtures. The low retaining wall adds further privacy and a place for accessories.
The outdoor shower by Orvis makes for easy post-beach-activity wash down.
All you need for an outdoor shower can be tucked into little shelves made from scrap wood.
This alfresco shower is hidden behind outdoor lounge-area walls, making it the ultimate private rinse-off spot.

Last summer I went to Maine, in particular, I visited Acadia and we had lunch at Jordan Pond House, which is famous for it's popovers and the amazing view. I bought a mix to take home with me and reproduce the goodness. These came out perfect at home as well....
- Make the batter the day before and set it in the fridge.
- Set it out and bring it to room temperature before filling the cups.
- Fill the greased pans 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake at 450 for 14 minutes, lower to 350 and bake another 15 minutes without opening the oven. These are best served right away.
All you do is combine one cup of room temperature butter with 2 T. of powdered sugar and 1 T. of your favorite flavored jelly/preserve (I used strawberry). Mix well, and chill until using. It was GOOD. You can do this with any flavored jam.

This visualization is the annotated version of "Future Galaxy Merger". It includes the running time and galaxy identifications.
This scientific visualization of a computer simulation depicts the inevitable collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy (also known as Messier 31). NASA Hubble Space Telescope observations indicate that the two galaxies, pulled together by their mutual gravity, will crash together in a near-head-on collision about 4 billion years from now. The thin disk shapes of these spiral galaxies are strongly distorted and irrevocably transformed by the encounter. Around 6 billion years from now, the two galaxies will merge to form a single elliptical galaxy.
The visualization covers 8.2 billion years into the future at 105 million years per second. Colors are representative: light blue for spiral galaxies (considered "blue" in astronomy parlance because of their active star formation) and orange-yellow for elliptical galaxies (called "red" by astronomers for their old stellar populations). A random background field of galaxies has been added to the simulation in order to indicate the camera motion through the simulation volume.
This visualization depicts the same simulation as the "Crash of the Titans" visualization, but does not include the Triangulum galaxy and utilizes a simpler camera choreography.
Visualization: Frank Summers (STScI);
Simulation: Gurtina Besla (Columbia University) and Roeland van der Marel (STScI)

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Cancer diagnoses and death rates are rising, but funding for cancer care and research is "broken" with poor nations hardest-hit, researchers in Scotland say.
Lead author Professor Peter Boyle, director of the University of Strathclyde Institute of Global Public Health, said private medical and pharmaceutical industries should work more closely with governments and the public sector to enable them to cope with the growing international cancer burden.
The "State of Oncology 2013" report said cancer diagnosis and death rates were rising across the world, while access to care was inconsistent between nations. The report predicted global cancer cases would reach 26.4 million a year by 2030, in large part due to the impact of expanding and aging populations in populous countries such as India, China and Nigeria, along with changing lifestyles.
"It is bad to have cancer, and worse to have cancer if you are poor," Boyle told the European Cancer Congress in Amsterdam. "Many parts of the world are already unable to cope with the current situation and are totally unprepared for the future growth of the cancer problem."
Boyle called for a private-public fund to help poorer countries manage, citing 2009 estimates by the Economist Intelligence Unit that it would cost $217 billion a year to bring cancer diagnosis, care and treatment in poor countries up to the standards of wealthy nations.
"There's no single source of philanthropy, there's no government, there's no company, there's no single institution that can afford that sort of investment," Boyle said.

Flying characteristics - when i first flew the 9m Evo i was not impressed at all it seemed that everything that was good about the 2009 9m had ben removed and nothing added but after a few more tries realised it was just not being used to how the kite flys. Turing speed is fast if fractionally unresponsive to start with but still good. loops are better then last year, it has more grunt in the loop. speed throught he air has increased, i think due to the slight increase in AR (least i think it has increased. the kites fit in the back of the van easier then the 2009s lol). nice pop and a great all round kite. i have no problems at all with how the kite flys. also the 12m is much bette and flys much more like the 9m then last years 12m did with its 9m friend the only problem is build quality.
Build quality - shocking!
1. when the kite is crashed hard the valve stopper pops out which is not a problem appart from unlike last year where the stopper was integrated to a thin piuece of webbing to stop it flying away this year, since they have doubled over the velcro it only goes through a hole in the velcro strap which breaks very easily so that the stopper can fly off when it pops out.
2. strut zips dont fit together so they rip open when the struts are inflated.
3. stiching on the LE right at the middle tends to have been missed in a couple places
4. 12m bag is too small to fit the kite in with the struts inflated
Bar. amazing, i love it. the new iron heart system is fantastic after having my hand ripped open realseing someone elses for them a few years ago the new reverse locking pin is a break through and i think the best system available. the suicide/safety leasing system integrating the chicken loop to allow you to ride suicide but still have a safety system is great. grip is nice and comfortable

With the Raiders having already gone from Jason Campbell to Bruce Gradkowski to Campbell again, can Kyle Boller be far behind?
Judging from Gradkowski's level of activity during the media window Thursday, Boller will be backing up Campbell against the San Francisco 49ers.
And given that quarterbacks are often put in a compromising position in terms of injury, and that Hue Jackson and Tom Cable didn't hesitate to give Campbell the hook when things weren't going well, Boller could find himself getting on the field for the first time since the preseason.
Boller was getting work in a walk-through setting along with Campbell, while Gradkowski was a spectactor. If Gradkowski isn't healthy enough to start, his arm isn't going to feel any better as a backup _ meaning Boller is the likely No. 2.
Players who weren't practicing were defensive tackle John Henderson (stress fracture), linebacker Travis Goethel (lower back), wide receiver Chaz Schilens (knee), linebacker Thomas Howard (knee) and running back Michael Bennett.
Bennett was jogging on a separate field as practice began.
Left guard Robert Gallery was with the first team defense at left guard, while Darren McFadden got in some work at the less-than-half speed walkthrough pace.
"I'm still feeling it right now," McFadden said before practice began. I haven't gone out there and tried to go 100 percent . . . I'm still working and taking my time with it."
Asked if he thought he could play, McFadden said, "It's up in the air right now," and when asked if the odds were 50-50, he agreed.
Boller had a training camp that was solid enough for coach Tom Cable to say he'd pulled even with the injured Gradkowski in the competition to be Campbell's backup. Gradkowski moved ahead with solid preseason performances against San Francisco and Seattle.
Boller was 26 of 43 for 360 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the preseason. He signed with the Raiders on April 15, before the team had cut JaMarcus Russell and traded for Campbell.
More to come . . .

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Lipscomb Lady Bisons had a new look in the batting order and it proved to be effective.
Brittany Elmore remained in the lead-off spot, but Rena' Cothron moved from the bottom third of the order to No. 2 and Paige Neely dropped a notch to No. 3. They combined for four hits, three runs and three runs batted in.
The sister act of Kelsey Cartwright and Mimi Cartwright batted fourth and fifth respectively. They each had one hit with Mimi driving in three runs with a bases loaded double.
The top five hitters accounted for six of the eight hits, scored five of the seven runs and drove in six as the Lady Bisons beat Western Kentucky 7-1 at the WKU Softball Complex Wednesday night. The Lady Bisons are 36-11 overall, surpassing last year's win total. It is the third highest win total in a season for Lipscomb coach Kristin Ryman.
Western Kentucky dropped to 31-17-1 with the loss.
"We talked about making the middle part of our lineup a little bit stronger and putting more RBI hitters in there," Ryman said. "We decided to move Rena' up. She does a very nice job of moving runners. She can drive them in if she is that role. She has shown flashes of power but she is more often than not a singles or doubles type of hitter.
"We slid Paige and Kelsey down and put them in more of an RBI situation. Overall, I thought it was a pretty good move."
Left-hander Ashley Anderson picked up her 18th win of the season. She scattered five hits, walked two, hit one batter and struck out four.
"We had thought about giving Ashley some rest but we also want to make sure she stays ready," Ryman said. "We knew Western was going to be a challenge. They lost to Kentucky Tuesday night but were right in the game until the seventh.
"We wanted to throw everything we could at them. Ashley came out and did a nice job."
In the third inning the Lady Bisons put the first run on the board when Neely doubled to left center to score Brittany Elmore.
Western Kentucky tied the game in the third on a double to right center.
The Lady Bisons answered in the fifth. With the bases loaded Mimi Cartwright doubled to right center to drive in three runs as Kelsey Cartwright, Cothron and Elmore scored.
"I thought Mimi's double really broke it open," Ryman said. "Paige had the double early in the game that got us on the board. I thought that was big because before that we weren't hitting the ball square yet.
"They walked Kelsey (in the fifth) to load the bases and get to Mimi and she gets the big hit. We settled in and got some better at bats."
Bridgette Begle singled to left field in the fifth to add another run for a 5-1 lead. Mimi Cartwright scored.
Cothron singled to center in the seventh and was thrown out at second on the play. She drove in a pair of runs as Brianne Welch and Begle scored.
Cothron and Begle each had two hits.
"We had a little bit of a slow start offensively," Ryman said. "But we worked counts better as the game went on and we had better pitches to hit.
"I loved how we finished up the game hitting. That was good to see."
Lipscomb pitcher Heather Parker made her first start of the season at first base making 13 put outs in the game.
"Heather did a really good job at first defensively," Ryman said. "Offensively, I was really impressed. She hasn't had live pitching in practice recently. For her to come in and get four at bats and three walks showed a lot of discipline.
"The inning we kind of broke it open, she led that inning off with a walk. We didn't have Kristen Sturdivant at first base. Heather came in and gave us everything we needed."
The Lady Bisons close out the Atlantic Sun regular season Saturday and Sunday against Northern Kentucky. Saturday's doubleheader at Draper Diamond at Smith Stadium starts at 4 p.m. Sunday is "Senior Day" with a 1 p.m. start time.

Saturday Night Fun February 11, 2012
Randy Seaver over at GeneaMusings has come up with another great Saturday Night Fun challenge.
The genealogy world was reminded (again) of how time flies, relatively speaking, by the news that there are two living grandchildren of President John Tyler (1790-1862). This past week there was theRobert Krulwich blog post about persons knowing people who knew famous people long ago.
For this week's mission (should you decide to accept it), I want you to:
1) Using your ancestral lines, how far back in time can you go with two degrees of separation? That means "you knew an ancestor, who knew another ancestor." When was that second ancestor born?
2) Tell us in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, in a status line on Facebook or a stream post on Google Plus.

I think you have given enough information to make an educated guess to the situation.
You are probably good for 5 to 8 GPM Flow Rate to get you the pressure and volume you need to run the Hunter at advertised flow and distance. You got 5 to 8 gallons and coming off of the hose bib you should probably stay closer to 5 GPM.
So If you use an 8 GPM nozzle that is about 8 GPM you are done. Or You could use two heads each with a 4 gallon nozzle that would equal 8 GPM. Or you could use 4 heads with a 2.0 GPM nozzle, that would get you 8.00.
There are no short cuts.
You need to tie in closer to the source of water.
You need to understand what the source is and in a perfect world How many Gallons per minute it is capable of.
Then you need to be realistic in the volume you what to flow through the pipe.
Then you need to design the piping to accommodate the flow and friction loss.
When you exceed the capacity of the source or restrict the flow through undersized pipe you lose pressure. You are probably maxed out at 8.
Does that make sense?
This is the easiest way to explain it.

Do the proper plumbing and forget all about running a system from the hose bib. I'm not saying it can't be done, but a pro only goes that route if it saves a lot of money, or gets around an impossible plumbing job, like in a completely finished basement.
A proper "bucket test" does not result in a flow number alone. It results in a combination of simultaneous flow and pressure. That combination is what you get to work with, and it will never be as high as 16 gpm, unless there is over 100 psi supply pressure and old, old hose bibs with large internal geometry.

Sunday, May 14th 2017, 6:43pm
Thanks, I have done that and I am getting 70 psi and exactly 11 GPM. I am going to assume 50 psi and 10 GPM from now on as conservative figures.Assume nothing so high as 10 gpm at operating pressure. Measure it, just like a pro who wants to employ a hose bib would measure it. The key to getting accurate numbers is to have a valve downstream of your pressure gauge. Close down that added valve, until the gauge is showing the pressure you want.

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center Receives "Outstanding" Distinction, as Recognized by the National Cancer Institute's Comprehensive Cancer Center Status
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has renewed the coveted and prestigious Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center following an in-depth peer review by cancer experts from around the United States.
The NCI rated Roswell Park's application as "Outstanding." The awarding of this noteworthy designation extends Roswell Park's world-class status as an NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center — the only one in Upstate New York, and one of only 41 in the entire United States. Roswell Park has held this distinction continuously for 40 years and the award carries with it a federal grant allocation of $19 million over the next five years.
"With this renewal comes recognition from our peers from cancer centers around the nation of Roswell Park's excellence in conducting innovative research, distinguished education programs and exemplary patient care," said Roswell Park President and CEO Donald L. Trump, MD, FACP.
The NCI reviewers' assessment noted the "significant institutional commitment" that has placed the 116-year-old cancer center "on an upward trajectory" and that continued growth in jobs and research is expected following the recent recruitment of several "outstanding cancer investigators." The expert panel of peer reviewers from other NCI-designated centers wrote: "Under the exemplary leadership of the Center Director and with the continued involvement of the outstanding and productive Senior Leaders and commitment of the Institution… this established Cancer Center is well positioned" to continue its contributions to the national mission to understand and eliminate cancer.
"Every successful organization draws stability from the diversity of its resources, and I think that's something our reviewers responded to," Dr. Trump added. "We could not have demonstrated our accomplishments or justified our ambitious plans for growth without the enormous commitment of our outstanding faculty and staff, the support of our community and the long-standing partnership with our leaders in New York State, notably Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders who have continued the absolutely critical investment in cancer research, patient care and cancer education. A singular example of the support Roswell Park receives from our community is the record-breaking $4.3 million raised by our 19th Ride For Roswell this past weekend."
New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26), along with other state and local leaders, joined Dr. Trump for Tuesday's announcement at Roswell Park. The historic collaboration between New York State and Roswell Park dates back to 1898. Through this long-standing relationship, the campus facilities have been maintained and enhanced, scientists have been attracted from around the world to Buffalo, N.Y., and new diagnostics, treatments and therapies are being developed every day, such as next-generation genomic sequencing, which is part of Gov. Cuomo's vision.
"I want to personally thank Governor Cuomo for his vision, his commitment and for being here today," said Dr. Trump. "We at Roswell Park look forward to being part of producing the continued results that his vision has set forth in New York."
"As one of Buffalo's premiere medical institutions, Roswell Park is vital to Western New York's status as a world-class health care destination – and as one of only 41 Comprehensive Cancer Centers in the entire nation, it is a beacon of hope for patients and families far beyond New York," Governor Cuomo said. "I congratulate Roswell Park for regaining this important distinction, which is critical to continuing its cutting-edge research and high-quality patient care"
"Anyone who has walked through the doors of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center knows that it is a special place, and this rating and designation confirms it," said Congressman Higgins, a Roswell Park champion and staunch supporter of federal funding for cancer research. "Western New York is so fortunate to have one of the finest facilities providing cancer research and care right here in our backyard. Through this federal commitment we give Roswell the support to continue their mission, giving life and hope to not just those they serve but all faced with cancer."
The CCSG recognizes that Roswell Park's research programs meet the NCI's rigorous criteria for world-class, state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary research. Renewal of the CCSG is a multi-step competitive process that involved submission in May 2013 of a 1,273-page grant application detailing the accomplishments of six key Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center research programs: Cell Stress and Biophysical Therapies, Experimental Therapeutics, Genetics, Genitourinary Cancers, Population Sciences and Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy.
The mission of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is to understand, prevent and cure cancer. Founded in 1898, Roswell Park is one of the first cancer centers in the country to be named a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and remains the only facility with this designation in Upstate New York. The Institute is a member of the prestigious National Comprehensive Cancer Network, an alliance of the nation's leading cancer centers; maintains affiliate sites; and is a partner in national and international collaborative programs. For more information, visit www.roswellpark.org, call 1-800-ROSWELL (1-800-767-9355) or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow Roswell Park on Facebook and Twitter.

A Short History of the George Hotel
The present George Hotel, Inveraray, was originally two private houses completed in 1770. They were part of a project by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, started in 1744, to build a whole new town in Inveraray. This was to be the first example in Scotland of a planned town
In 1776 the 5th Duke of Argyll ordered that the ground floor flat of each of these private houses would be made into temporary churches for the Gaelic and English speaking congregations. These two churches are now covered by the Public Bar, Front Lounge and Church Hall. How the times have changed!
In 1860 the two private houses were amalgamated into the George Hotel by the Clark family, in whose possession the Inn still remains. Generation seven now resides in the hotel. The present owner, Donald Clark, has carefully and sensitively restored and enhanced the bedrooms, restaurants and bars to create a unique atmosphere.
The Duke of Argyll employed the services of Adam and Milne, renowned architects of their time. Together they built the first planned town in Scotland, Inveraray. The buildings in the main town remain whitewashed with blackened window surrounds.
The Royal Burgh of Inveraray was the administrative town for the area, with a Judicial Court and Jail . It is home to the Duke of Argyll, head of the Clan Campbell
The industry of the town was herring. The smoking of these fish produced the famous Loch Fyne Kipper. The fish industry survives along the longest sea loch in Scotland, with farmed salmon, mussels and oysters. Loch Fyne Oysters Ltd at the head of the loch produce arguably some of the best smoked varieties of salmon in Scotland.
