Differences between fishing in America and Britain
European anglers who have travelled to fish in Britain and America may have been confused by the differences of the sport in these two English speaking countries. But its not only terminology that differs. It is also the way that anglers go about hunting the fish that is often different. As goes for all areas of life, there is always something to be learnt from reading about how things are done differently, but nevertheless successfully in other parts of the world.
Coming to Britain, anglers will find a distinction between three general areas of fishing:
Sea Fishing
No confusion here. This simply means fishing in salt water.
Game Fishing
If you are out game fishing in Britain, you are after fish from the salmon family. Thus it is not to be confused with the American meaning of game fishing. The Atlantic salmon, brown or sea trout and rainbow trout count among the most common game fish in British waters. Though unfortunately rainbow trouts rarely breed in Britain. Grayling, of course, also belong to the salmon family, they are, however, usually not considered game fish since their time for spawning is in spring. Instead they count as coarse fish.
Coarse Fishing
This category comprises all remaining freshwater fish not belonging to the salmon family. Some of the species included in the British category of coarse fishing are classed as game fish in America like the northern pike or the yellow perch. The other big group of coarse fish belongs to the carp family. These fish, in fact, make up for the biggest part of the catch of British coarse anglers.
If you are sea or game fishing in Britain there is, in fact, not much difference to other countries. Trout waters in Britain, however, usually allow only fly fishing.
On the other hand, coarse fishing in Britain and America are two quite different pasttimes. Some of the differences will be explained in the remainder of this article.
Catch and Release
Coarse anglers in America usually release their fish and return them into the water. In Britain this rule is even stronger. In most British waters it would be against the rules to kill coarse fish except for bait. Catch and release is an old tradition in British angling and has been practised for more than 100 years.
The big challenge for British coarse anglers is that the fish get used to baits and techniques. You have to work on your methods if you want to remain successful, the fish become much harder to catch as time goes by. Particularly carps seem to have good memories for baits they fell for. This difficulty and their ability for a hard fight makes the carp the most popular coarse fish in Britain.
British waters are not anything as big as lakes and rivers in the US. Accordingly boats are not as common in British angling as in the States - apart from sea fishing, of course. In fact, boats are prohibited on most UK waters. Even trout fishing is usually in upland lakes or in the relatively few water supply reservoirs and only fly fishing is allowed. Trolling is also often prohibited, even if there is enough space. It does not seem to suit British mentality as many anglers consider it unsporting. It is just the pike anglers that practise trolling.
If boats are used on lakes in the UK, they are what in America are called jon boats, powered by oars or small outboards up to 6 hp. Sonar units are becoming more and more popular.
Some trout fisheries also allow pike fishing in the winter, although they usually insist that all pike are killed because they hunt the trout. This usually leads to an explosion of small pike that eat even more trout in the end!
Static Fishing
The vast majority of British coarse fishing is static. In other words the bait is not moved - even slowly. (The main exception is float fishing in a river). One way of comparing the two styles is to say that Americans hunt for their fish, Brits trap them.
This means that we have to attract the fish by something other than movement, and the normal way is to use groundbait (chum), which in some U.S. areas is actually illegal. This groundbait is often cereal based which has several advantages including being able to be used at long range, or may simply be the same as the hookbait, in which case it's called loose feed.
For smaller fish maggots are a widespread form of bait. It is available for sale in almost every coarse fishing shop. Fine tackle is required if you want to fish just one or two maggots on the hook. Otherwise these will not behave in a natural way. Accordingly, small hooks like size 20 or so and light lines around 1 lb are the most common equipment of a British angler in this field.
Carp anglers generally avoid to use smaller fish as bait. Hooking those often scares the Carp rather than attract his attention. So-called boilies are the bait most often used for carps. As the name tells, they consist of boiled paste which forms a hard skin protecting it against being pecked by smaller fish.
Distance Fishing
American anglers are often surprised at the range at which British anglers fish. The reason for the greater distance in Britain is simply that there is less fishing from boats. Carps in particular are also very good at learning to avoid dangers looming at the bankside of the rivers and lakes. Thus, British casts are usually measured in yards rather than in feet. It is quite common for carp anglers to fish at a distance of more than 100 yards. As a result rods in Britain a generally a bit longer than in the US in order to be able to cast such long distances. The most popular size is 12 feet.
Match Fishing
Match fishing is a competition in which the angler with the highest total weight of fish caught wins. There are of course many more smaller fish than big ones which is why match anglers usually aim to catch a larger number of small fish. You need quite a bit of expertise and a long rod is also useful to fine tune your control of the tackle. Graphite poles are common to enable the angler to develop maximum tackle control at short ranges.
Baits and Lures
The prefered use of baits rather than lure is probably the biggest difference in the outlook of British anglers compared to their American counterparts. Two reasons may be behind this: Firstly, there are only few predatory fish species at home in the UK, mainly pikes and perches. On average, however, both grow to a bigger size in Britain than in the States, although the maximum sizes are similar. But there is a higher proportion of fish around 20 pounds. Many anglers in Britain grow up using bait because there are only few predatory fish. They may, however, be hooked if they tried lures!
The second reason has to do with catch and release. Fish are that are returned are much better at learning to avoid lures than bait. Lures always have hooks on them, bait has not. It is rather often part of their usual diet.
Confusing Terms
American English differs in many ways from British English. This is also true for angling. There is in fact quite a number of terms in Britain that will cause confusion for the American angler. Here is a list of them:
British / American English
bank / shore
bite / strike
bivvy / tent
blanked / skunked
buzzer / electronic bite alarm
carbon or carbon fibre / graphite
drogue / sea anchor
float / bobber
gag / jaw spreader (banned on many U.K. waters)
grinner knot / uni-knot
groundbait / chum
hooklength (or tail) / snell
half blood knot / clinch knot
lobworm / night crawler
rings / guides
rod rest / sand spike
run / strike from a big fish
running lead / slip sinker
slider or sliding float / slip bobber
specimen / trophy or lunker
stringer string that dissolves in water containing bait
to strike / to hook
tip ring / tip-top
trace / leader
tucked œ blood knot / improved clinch knot
water knot / surgeon's knot
weight / sinker

Hello MikeB... Thanks so much. But I will say it this way: I would never want anything that was forced, or done when you are exhausted. I'm so happy to know that you would like to do it! So, some time in future, when you feel inspired, that is when it will happen. For now, please let it go and take time to heal and refresh yourself. Thank you for thinking of me!ReplyDelete

Children of Gifford Youth Activity Center get back to Nature10-19-2016
The Indian River Land Trust will once again host GYAC at five programs for the children this year. Wednesday, Oct. 19, a dozen elementary-aged kids from GYAC went to the Toni Robinson Waterfront Trail to pick up Mangrove propagules (plant seed pods) and learn about butterflies in the woods near the river.
"They like milkweed," said one young girl excitedly. "They smell with their feet," said another laughing.
After spending an hour and a half exploring and listening to IRLT Director of Land Protection David Heuberger, and Volunteer Coordinator Ken Gonyo, Conservation Assistant Leslie London passed out gooey pizza and water bottles to the kids. As they happily munched their pizza they were asked how they enjoyed the Trail and they all smiled and chorused they had a good time.
"If you look and listen hard enough; you can actually listen to the pictures and hear the fun the youth were having on the field trip," said Woolfork looking at a photo of the day.
This is the third year IRLT has partnered with GYAC to do Wednesdays in Nature with the kids when they have a half day at school.
"For a lot of the kids it seems like they just don't have the opportunities to run around in the woods and we let them do that here," said Heuberger. They just have a good time exploring. I love being outdoors with children because it allows me to see a lot of things for the first time through their wonderment and it helps me be appreciative of nature."
Future IRLT trips will include interacting with wildlife at the trail with a presentation by the Busch Wildlife Center; a nature hike and geocaching at the Lagoon Greenway using GPS and a kayak excursion at MacWilliams Park with Adventure Kayaking.
GYAC also takes trips to the ELC campus, Riverside Theatre, Vero Beach Museum of Art and the Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River.
Gifford Youth Achievement Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit agency which accepts students during after school hours for education, mentoring and tutoring to reach their academic goals to graduate high school and higher education.

American Able image created by Holly Norris and Jes Sachse)
"'American Able' intends to, through spoof, reveal the ways in which women with disabilities are invisibilized in advertising and mass media...Too often, the pervasive influence of imagery in mass media goes unexamined, consumed en masse by the public. However, this imagery has real, oppressive effects on people who are continuously 'othered' by society."
American Able is a brilliant slam-dunk against the ways genuinely "normal" bodies -- those which are what we see in our everyday public -- are rendered "other" by the media and particularly by fashion, which is an industry predicated on perpetuating our most deeply-held oppressions even as they might argue they are subverting it.
THIS is what real subversion looks like. It jerks you up short and makes you question ALL your assumptions, and notice the human connection you are missing.
Physical difference is the guidepost for identifying most groups targeted for oppression: Not Males, people of color/ethnicities, children, elderly, disabled, fat, and on a subtler but just as effective level, class and regional identity. Physical difference is, for most of these categories, presumed to have a biological origin which also imprints the personality/mentality of those in the different categories, and that "inherent" difference serves as justification for targeting.
We cannot imagine a difference which does not imply biological hierarchy of some kind. We cannot imagine a difference in which all deviance is equally valued.
But we have to try, because that is in fact the truth. And those of us who want to live in a reality-based community will have to lead the way, especially through art, in creating a goal of the imagination: THIS is what real, desirable, valuable people look like. They look like us.
Self-hatred allows a devastated system to sell us a devastated world.
To start imagining, it is necessary to understand exactly where your conditioning has hobbled you. For that work. I find implicit association tests extremely helpful. These tests can quickly unroof biases you may have denied or discounted. The good news is, whatever lies you were taught along the way can be unlearned. Take these tests (especially the ones you feel like you'd rather avoid), carry the information gathered to your support system, and embark on healing with loving company. You'll be moved to creative, effective action as part of the healing.
You won't believe the beauty that is in store for you.
A wide range of implicit association tests are available online at Project Implicit run by Harvard.

(Dale Evans and Buttermilk)
A story my mother often told began with her saying she didn't know the yard I was going to play in would have no adult supervision, and since she was gardening in our backyard, she thought I was in line of sight anyhow.
I was four and we were recently back from India, 1959, returned to the small house my parents owned on the edge of Lafayatte, Louisiana. That subdivision was brand new, and not all the treeless backyards looking onto each other had fences yet. My family's chain link fence had only just been installed. Behind us and two or three houses to the right was the yard I went to play in, without any fences in between.
That yard had a new swingset, which was the draw. I don't remember actually knowing the kids I tagged along behind, and they all seemed vastly older than me, certainly much more coordinated. I felt small and alone but not afraid. Not yet. The father who had been outside when Mama waved her okay went back inside while Mama was bent over a flowerbed. Mama would always put this in the recounting with a defensive tone.
The new slide was higher than any I had been on. In my memory, it was towering, which might mean it was twice my height. In that memory, I am not yet afraid of heights. My last memory without acrophobia.
There was a line of us to use the slide, including children standing behind each other on the ladder itself. Someone ahead of us had dared to go down the slide backwards, and now everyone was doing it, but since I was on the ladder I could not see the technique clearly. I got to the top and was determined to do what the big kids were doing. I wasn't sure how to get myself reversed, however. I remember perching on the top and the kid behind me yelling to hurry up, and I even remember leaning far to the side so I could maybe swing my body around in the air.
Mama said I landed on my head. I'm not sure how she could have known that, since neither she nor the father of that house was watching. He only came out when one of his children ran in the sliding glass door, shouting. He was a short, muscled Cajun man in his 30s. He picked me up, unconscious, and began walking hurriedly toward my house.
Mama had straightened up because Peggy from next door had come over to chat. Peggy was Irish and had a pair of Boston terriers named Pat and Mike who were not friendly dogs. Mama said she saw the man coming from the corner of her eye and turned to look, seeing me lying apparently lifeless across his arms. She said it was one of the worst moments of her life.
Daddy of course was not home, and my little brother was a newborn. She said she lay me in the front seat of the car but she had to leave Bill with somebody and Peggy had gone into gibbering hysterics, declaring me dead. The father had gone back home because he still had a yard full of kids. Mama said she slapped Peggy to make her shut up and listen, handing Bill off to her before driving me to the hospital.
I didn't regain consciousness for 45 minutes. Mama was very specific about the lapse of time and I believe her. They said it was a severe concussion. I actually remember the x-rays because they wouldn't give me a pillow for my aching head and instead insisted I lean back against a hard green triangle of wood, which I found very unfair. I was put in a private room and Mama was told to keep me still but not allow me to go to sleep.
She was inventive and spent most of the next three days there with me. I remember clearly that she brought me a Dale Evans paper doll set, hoping that quiet play would keep me absorbed. I took the time to watch Mama cut out one outfit before declaring it boring and refusing to touch it any more. The paper tabs which had to be bent to hold on the clothes were inadequate and everything slipped off. Mama wound up cutting out the entire book of ensembles on her own and arranging them for hours on my bedside tray, muttering to herself between admonishing me to lie still.
I never cared for paper dolls since, they reminded me of captivity. And I can't look out from a height without becoming dizzy with terror. I've worked on the latter, many times. It's kept me from being able to stand up on a chair to change a lightbulb. At this point, given my other physical limits, it's a phobia I'm willing to die with. During movie scenes shot on a precipice, I simply close my eyes.
And not caring for dressing up dolls has been a smart choice, not a phobia at all.

QuickBird, launched in October 2001, was an imaging satellite of DigitalGlobe Inc. of Longmont, CO, USA. The spacecraft was in a sun-synchronous orbit with an operating altitude of 450 km. It completed one revolution every 93.4 minutes and absolved more than 15 revolutions per day.
QuickBird simultaneously collected up to 0.61m panchromatic and 2.88 m 4 band multi-spectral data. The large swath width of 16.5 km combined with 128 Gigabit on-board storage enabled QuickBird to collect with high geolocational accuracy 210,000 km2 of high-resolution imagery per day, or more than 75 million km2 of imagery data annually (over three times the size of North America).
Along with the Pan (450-900 nm, stretching from the Blue to the Near Infrared) QuickBird provided four typical multispectral bands in the visible to near-infrared range: Blue (450-520 nm), Green (520-600 nm), Red (630-690 nm) and Near Infrared (760-900 nm)
Mission News
The WorldView-1/-2/-3, GeoEye-1 and QuickBird mission archive and new acquisitions are now available for research and application development.

If bed and breakfasts conjure images of lace doilies and dusty antiques, I'm going to urge you to think again. Because the experience at Thistle's Summit in Mount Vernon, Iowa is anything but stuffy.
When my friend Marti moved from Des Moines to pursue her dreams of opening a queer bed and breakfast in the artsy community of Mount Vernon, I was thrilled.

After months of home renovation and working through logistics, Marti and Ash are finally ready to welcome guests to Thistle's Summit.
I've been lucky enough to visit them at their historic Victorian home twice now and can't wait to get back to Mount Vernon again soon. Not only is the home they've built together a thing of beauty but the sense of community there has an almost magnetic pull.
Plus, at the bottom of this post, I'm excited to be collaborating with Thistle's Summit on a fun giveaway! Enter below for the chance to win a tea time gift pack and discounted stay at this charming Iowa bed and breakfast.

Supertech in trouble as Yamuna e-way township plan cancelled over forgery
One of NCR's biggest real estate players, Supertech, has again landed its buyers in a big mess. The building plan for its 100-acre township – Upcountry – on the Yamuna Expressway has been cancelled after two successive CEOs of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) pointed out that the builder had got a revised plan sanctioned on the basis of a forged letter. Both recommended that an FIR be lodged against Supertech.
This letter from 2011 paved the way for Supertech to increase its ground coverage at the cost of open area in the township. Supertech thus sold an extra 730 plots and villas for an estimated Rs 343 crore.
It was only in 2015, when Supertech sought the completion certificate for the project, that two successive CEOs of YEIDA – Santosh Yadav and Anil Garg – pointed out that building plans had been modified on the basis of a forged document. TOI has in its possession documents that show the grave concern raised by the two senior IAS officers as well as a copy of the forged letter.
Supertech Upcountry, with 28 towers, each housing 120 residential units, 948 villas and plots, is almost "sold-out", according to the the builder's website.
Supertech was allotted a 100-acre plot – TS-1 – in Sector 17A along the 165-km Yamuna Expressway on June 14, 2010. The plot was registered in August. The then chairperson and CEO of YEIDA Mohinder Singh sanctioned the layout plan of the residential township on January 25, 2011 as per YEIDA's building bylaws of September 2009.
However, YEIDA received a letter (no: 2153/77-3-10-01) dated September 13, 2011, purportedly signed by 'Secretary to the Government of UP, Alok Kumar'. The letter referred to Supertech Ltd's proposed township, saying that since no construction had been carried out on the said plot, Supertech should be allowed to construct on TS-1 as per YEIDA's new bylaws, which came into force in December 2010.
On a specific inquiry initiated in 2015 by the then YEIDA CEO, Santosh Yadav, a joint secretary of the UP government confirmed in writing that it had issued no such letter, which meant the September 13, 2011 letter was forged. When TOI contacted the joint secretary, Devi Prasad, in Lucknow, he confirmed the UP government had not issued any such letter.
A senior YEIDA official told TOI, "Supertech had produced a letter from the government, which gave the builder the benefit of extra ground coverage due to implementation of the building bylaws of 2010. In 2015, the then YEIDA CEO Santosh Yadav was informed about the letter being fake after which a verification was carried out and the government confirmed that no such letter had been issued and that it was a fake. Yadav had then directed that a show-cause notice be issued to the builder and an FIR be lodged."
"In compliance with Yadav's directions, the sanctioned plan of the township has been cancelled. As far as the FIR is concerned, legal advice is being sought in the matter. In the meantime, the developer has made a representation to Noida Authority chairman Rama Raman (he is also the YEIDA chairman) that he be heard as the sanctioned plan was cancelled without a fair hearing. We then told him to approach the UP government as the matter involved a fake letter. The developer has now represented to the government that his sanctioned plan was wrongly cancelled and he has asked for his plan to be reinstated after imposing a financial penalty on him."
Supertech CMD R K Arora told TOI he "was not aware of any letter between YEIDA and the government". "The plan for the township was sanctioned in November 2011 as per applicable bylaws and condition of lease deed. Ground coverage is as per applicable bylaws."
An architect familiar with the developments said the developer, under the new building bylaws, was able to avail 40% ground coverage instead of the original 25%. This resulted in the developer getting an additional 15 acres of area for horizontal development, which allowed him to sell 730 new plots and luxury villas spread across 91,460 square yards. At an average sale price of Rs 37,500 per sq yard, this works out to an extra Rs 342.98 crore.
This is not the first time that Supertech has been in trouble. In April 2014, the Allahabad high court directed two towers with 857 residential units at its Emerald Court project in Noida's Sector 93A to be demolished for flouting building norms and violating provisions of the UP Apartments Act of 2010.
In April this year, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority directed Supertech to seal 1,009 flats and villas at its Czar complex in Greater Noida for large-scale violation of the sanctioned layout plan.
The forged letter from 2011 paved the way for Supertech to increase its ground coverage at the cost of open area in the township. Supertech thus sold an extra 730 plots and villas for an estimated Rs 343 crore.

To get to Selçuk, A and I flew from Istanbul to Izmir on Pegasus Airlines. When I walked up to the plane and I saw the "flypgs.com" site written on the side of the plane, I chuckled a little bit, because my first thought wasn't "Fly Pegasus" it was "Fly Pigs"…. as in the expression "when pigs fly!" Perhaps not the best thing to be thinking about when getting onto a plane, but nonetheless, the flight itself was fine – decent food, for airplane food. Friendly service. Not at all bad for a regional airline! And it got us to Izmir on time! Getting from Izmir Airport to Selçuk was a little trickier though!!
In retrospect, I wish we had contacted our hotel – Jimmy's Place (review will be forthcoming soon!) to arrange a pickup. Instead, we opted to take a bus. At first, it seemed really easy. We hopped on a luxury bus for the first part of the ride and it took us to the central bus station in Izmir. I wish I had taken pictures here, as it was a fairly impressive facility, but not having done enough research into the bus ride, I was a little thrown off by even being there because I hadn't understood that we would have to change buses anywhere!! We had actually tried to plan for pickup through our hotel, but unfortunately there were communication problems, and we didn't get a response in time. Armed with our Lonely Planet guidebook, we marched off through the bus terminal in the summer heat with our luggage in tow, trying to figure out where the connecting buses to Selçuk left from…. a pretty big challenge when you don't
speak the language!! We had trouble finding anyone who spoke English who could help us, so after a while I left A with the bags and explored a bit. Finally fnding someone who directed us to go upstairs, we made our way up…. on the upper level, there were lots more full-sized buses and mini-buses going to all sorts of different destinations! First, we were able to ascertain that the Selçuk bus would actually say Selçuk and not some other final destination, with Selçuk merely as a stop along the way. Now we just had to figure out what kind of bus it was going to be…..We finally found a minibus that said Selçuk, and claimed seats on it. A went off to find some water & snacks for us while I stayed with the bus to make sure it didn't leave in the meantime! It was incredibly cheap, so the challenge of finding it and the mild discomfort of the crowded & poorly air-conditioned ride weren't all that bad…. but we did opt for a shower immediately upon arrival and to get a private car for the ride back to the airport when we left! Well worth the difference in price for a more comfortable ride – and to not be slightly unsure the entire time that you might not end up where you intended to go!!
We arrived in Selçuk, and then it was time to find our hotel. Thankfully, consulting the Lonely Planet map in the guidebook, we realized that the bus station in town left us a mere 2 short blocks from the hotel, and we went to check in. After a shower and a a bit of relaxation at the hotel, we went for a walk to explore the cute town. We stumbled upon the Pink Bistro after a couple of blocks, and it was time for a snack and a local beer. We found the Pink Bistro Cafe, which is really more like a pub than a cafe (at least as I think of cafes) and has a very friendly young proprietor/manager. He was a young Kurdish man, and had spent some time in Canada, so his English was excellent, and since it was a slow time of day when we stopped in, he was quite chatty. We talked to him for a while, and promised to come back again later in the evening, and we went off to see some of the shops, with thoughts of going to use the hotel's pool (well, the pool that the hotel owners operate a couple of blocks away). We stopped in to buy some treats, like Turkish Delight and local nuts, and returned to the hotel. Our resolve to go find relief from the heat at the pool disappeared when we realized how well air-conditioned our room was, and instead of going swimming, taking a nap won out, and we relaxed & napped for a while.
Waking up refreshed, and finding that the outside air had cooled off significantly, we were off again in the early evening, going back to visit our friend at the Pink Bistro Cafe. He was working into the evening, but it still wasn't too busy, so he set me up with a nice flavor of tobacco in a hookah pipe – I think it was apple – and we sat and people watched for a while. We continued to chat with our new friend, and watched the CUTEST stray puppies play and frolic. We listened to the Call to Worship, and relaxed as the sun set. Our new friend invited us to come back later on, when he was
finished work and to go with him to a family wedding. It was to be a traditional Kurdish wedding, and neither A nor I having ever been to a Kurdish wedding, and both of us feeling unlikely to ever be invited to another one again, we were certainly tempted…. but once again, not being familiar enough with social mores in this area, we decided to be conservative and decline his invitation. I think that if he hadn't made it clear that it was a driving distance away, we might have gone… if it were somewhere in walking distance, or if we were in an area where taxis were more readily available, it would have been different. But being women, on our own, in an unfamiliar area, getting into a personal vehicle with a guy we just met, no matter how friendly he seemed, simply didn't seem prudent. We regretfully declined, even though we knew we might be missing out on a very cool opportunity.
We did, however, allow him to walk us to a restaurant he recommended (and that I've since seen has gotten very good reviews from other travelers online who have touted it as a pretty cheap restaurant that is more for locals than tourists – an assessment that I would agree with), and that I think was owned by a relative of his. Rumeli Restaurant was fantastic!! We had an incredible meal, probably over-ordered a little bit, and enjoyed everything. This might actually have been my 2nd favorite meal in Turkey…. the story of my favorite will be forthcoming when I tell you about Cappadocia!!
After we wrapped up our meal, our Kurdish friend returned to take us to his cousin's store across the street. He was friendly, but clearly knew a mark when he saw one, and knew that if he showed us a nice shop, we'd buy some more things!! And this store he took us to did have very lovely things. In particular, the embroidered pillow cases and throws caught our attention, and I wound up picking up a pair of beautifully hand embroidered pillow cases for my friend L in NYC, who I knew had been looking for red pillow cases, and a shawl for myself, because I have trouble resisting that kind of thing!
Well, that's all for my Turkish adventures for now! Soon to come will be tales of Ephesus and Cappadocia!
Signing off for now,
Your ever-faithful TC2

PMQs: Confused Miliband fiddles as Athens burns
Ed Miliband gave another shoddy display as leader of the opposition, blatantly evading the issue of Labour and the strikes.
For the first time in three weeks, Prime Ministers Question time was dominated by the questions Ed Miliband did not, could not and dare not ask.
The TV news channels were showing the weekly duel in split screen format, with the other side of the screen dominated by footage of Athens burning at the behest of Greek trade unions and Leftist allies protesting against cuts and austerity.
But strikes, money, reforms and debt were the last thing that a Leader of the Opposition firmly in the pocket of Britain's own trade unions could summon up the courage to engage with.
After two weeks of randomly selected, detailed questions designed to unsettle the Prime Minister, Miliband went again on details, though this time all six of his allotted questions were on the NHS. Cameron was prepared but not as well briefed as his opponent, who was in fact so well briefed he already knew the answers before he asked them.
First and foremost, the role of the Leader of the Opposition is to hold the government to account, and to play politics only as a secondary matter. The fact that Miliband already knew all of the answers to the questions that he asked, and patronisingly tried to rub this in Cameron's face, proves he has not grasped the basics of his role.
He is doing his constitutional position a disservice by not raising legitimate questions that he wants to know more about, and instead desperately trying to score points for a temporary reprieve to the questions surrounding his leadership.
All everyone really wanted to talk about is Greece, and the impending industrial unrest in the UK.
But poor old Ed was stuck in a trap. Many in his party do not support his newly formulated view that the public sector strikes are wrong, and Cameron cruelly slammed him on this with a withering put-down that Miliband "could not talk about Greece because he wanted to turn the UK into Greece".
We learnt nothing new from the leaders' duel today. It was a wasted day and wasted chance for Miliband to hold the government to account.
The elephant in the room was there for all to see, except for Miliband himself. Though he did score some points, there was no way this could be a win for him, given how blatantly constrained he was by his muddled and confused dependency on the unions.
The only person to have a worse outing than the Leader of the Opposition was the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow.
Interrupting the Prime Minister in his stride while critiquing his opposite number, Bercow shut down the Prime Minister mid-sentence. The flash of anger in Cameron's eyes was real and there was outrage on the government benches.
You rarely see the Prime Minister speechless, and if looks could have killed...
Bercow is on thin ice, he is dependent on the votes of Labour members to stay in his job, yet seems to be making no effort to shore up his position with the Tories.
Cameron, unable to hide his anger, succinctly asked in his reply to the next question:
"I hope it's in order Mr Speaker to talk about Labour's record."
Overall, Miliband may have just about saved his neck for another week through a now familiar display of political cowardice and shallow opportunism.
But after the dismal performance of the Speaker, he may take some small comfort from the fact that he's not the only one threatened with the chop.

Dr. Hagen Schroder first experienced chiropractic as a child while watching his parents receive adjustments. He was amazed at how much the regular treatment helped his parents feel better and function at their best. Dr. Schroder personally discovered the benefits of chiropractic care after it helped with growing pains and low back pain early in his teenage years. He continued treatment throughout his school and college career due to injuries suffered as a multi-sport athlete.
Dr. Schroder graduated from high school with honors at St. Benedict at Auburndale in Memphis, TN. Afterwards, he attended the University of Arizona and graduated with a degree in nutrition and a minor in biochemistry. Due to his passion for helping people naturally, Dr. Schroder decided to quit a successful career with the Chrysler Group to enroll at Parker University's College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas.
Dr. Schroder graduated magna cum laude from Parker University as salutatorian of his class in 2016. He holds a prior certification in ART soft tissue technique and is currently certified in Webster Technique (specialty in pregnant women). Dr. Schroder was an associate doctor at Back and Neck Care Center of Bedford in North Texas from 2016-2017. He joined Kaufman Chiropractic beginning in January 2018.
Dr. Schroder is married to his beautiful wife Dr. Cassandra Schroder, who is also a chiropractor at Kaufman Chiropractic in the Bothell location. He loves helping people and animals with their health. He enjoys many outdoor activities including golf, shooting, hiking, kayaking, and martial arts.
Dr. Schroder is thrilled to be serving the Monroe area and looks forward to a long career of helping others.

Winter NAMM Report
The attendance at this year's Winter NAMM show, held from January17-20 at the Anaheim Convention Center, appeared to be moderate, withthe largest crowds making the scene on Friday and Saturday. Much to ourrelief, the over-the-top hubbub that usually accompanies the show was,for the most part, gone. Replacing the scantily clad booth bunnies andgo-go cages of previous years were polite, if businesslike,bomb-sniffing dogs and their handlers. There was also a notablereduction in the amount of swag—the promotional goodies usuallygiven away to show visitors—which may indicate how recenteconomic realities have affected the MI industry.
Celebrity sightings, however, remained consistent with earliershows. On the show floor, we spotted synth pioneers Bob Moog and DaveSmith; Roger Linn, father of the sample-based drum machine;keyboardists Eddie Jobson and Roger Manning; bassists Tom Hamilton,Freebo, Nathan East, and Will Lee; guitarists Jeff "Skunk" Baxter,Steve Lukather, Steve Vai, and Slash; and singer/guitarist Keb 'Mo.There was no shortage of star-studded performances, both during theshow and after hours.
Finally, there was the show's raison d'être: new gear, theabundance of which kept us busy from dawn until well after dark.Although no new product appeared to be as mind-altering as the AlesisADAT, Mackie mixer, or Digidesign Pro Tools, we found plenty ofexciting new toys.
Here is a small sampling of the new wares we discovered at NAMM.We'll provide more information on these and other new products inupcoming EM "What's New" columns.

Dec. 12 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy announced on Tuesday that its fast-attack submarine USS Jacksonville has arrived at a naval base in Washington for inactivation and decommissioning.
Homeported in Hawaii, the USS Jacksonville, a Los Angeles-class submarine, has seen more than 30 years in service.
"I want to welcome USS Jacksonville to the beautiful Pacific Northwest," Capt. Michael Lewis, commander of Submarine Squadron 19, said in a press release. "We look forward to working with her over the next several months as they prepare to decommission."
The submarine is scheduled to be retired from the fleet in 2018.
During the inactivation process, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility will de-fuel the submarine. The hull will be retained in storage until the ship is decommissioned.
The USS Jacksonville -- 360-feet long and 6,900 tons -- was commissioned into service in 1981. During her most recent deployment, which ended Sunday, the boat and her crew spent 208 days at sea, steaming more than 48,000 nautical miles and conducting joint exercises with the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force and Indian navies.

The weather has been lousy here in the South-West of Western Australia but having said that it is winter!! But normally its not this cold, very low temperatures, which is unusual. Apparently there's even been snow in some areas Ouch!!!!! So I have been hibernating inside doing paperwork, blogs etc. as the workshop is a bit chilly even with thick socks and big boots.
I have been working on shadow boxes recently and have done quite a few of different sizes and am enjoying the process of adding my found objects to form a scene, an each one is unique. I am saving them for my second solo exhibition in Busselton in November. Lots of work to do and I'm both keen and excited to announce a second exhibition in January at the Bunbury Regional Art Gallery which I'm collaborating with the very talented Sharon Hinchcliffe of www.arlidesign.com.au so my life is out of control at the moment trying to work on two exhibitions and my normal production line. But I always work well under pressure and I need time to beachcomb as the swells have been fantastic lately so much to explore. I will keep you posted….
