Chill and nuke from the comfort of your garage
Sometimes the kitchen can be really far away. Say you're hanging out in the garage playing poker, working on the car, or some other garage-related activity. Suddenly the need hits for a microwaveable treat and a cold brew. The warmth of the microwave and the chill of the refrigerator may not be too far away, but it sure is convenient to have them closer. No need to journey to the kitchen when you can stock up on the essentials in the comfort of your own garage. (Also applies to attics and basements).

The Observer arrived at the New York Public Library on Monday night to find the steps to the impressive building lined with candles, around 200 of them, lighting the way to the foyer where there were couples lining the steps as well, far outnumbering their waxy counterparts. Not all of them were attending the gala, but everyone seemed to be enjoying the picturesque scene nonetheless.
This was the beginning of the celebrations for the Library Lions 2011: six artists who have been honored by The New York Public Library for their support and all of whom have huge literary influence.
The evening began with cocktails and some time with the Lions themselves. Ian McEwan was extremely positive about the necessity for libraries in a time of Kindles and the Internet. "Without libraries, writing may not have been the direction I went in," said the British writer, who at a young age studied in a library in Tripoli, Libya which was situated in what is now the compound of the country's former dictator, Colonel Qadaffi. "My library habit started early and since then I've never stopped."
Actor Jesse Eisenberg was a prominent presence at the gala and his support was close to home. "For me this is an important space, because it is a place I come to write. Also, I have relatives who volunteer in this public library." And what does Mr. Eisenberg think the future holds for libraries? "Oh, I mean I'm not a sociologist but this place provides a community which transcends all technological advances, don't you think?"
Mr. McEwan does. "It's not at all an elitist institution…it can draw in everybody." His sentiment was echoed throughout the large domed marble halls of the building, which received a $100 million dollar donation in 2008 from the building's namesake and gala attendee, Stephen A. Schwarzman.
Dinner was next on the schedule, followed by speeches from the likes of Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Public Library president Tony Marx. Both emphasized the idea that this was an all-inclusive institution that should be celebrated as such. Tennis hero John McEnroe was on his way out of the hall when he enthusiastically exclaimed to The Observer that, "You need books. I hope they stay."
We made our way down several floors, guided by more candles, to where The Young Lions Party was to be held. This was a glamorous affair with many young supporters in attendance. We bumped into decorator-cum-writer, Thomas Jayne, who told us he came because "it was such a democratic charity, which has the ability to benefit all of us."
There was, however, very little talking to be done downstairs and we had to settle for watching movie clips on the projector which hung above the dance floor, while the Young Lions reveled in the most inclusive of all playlists.

How to Choose a Healthy Diet Plan
Want to have a body like Claudia Schiffer? You bet, I desperately want it! Sometimes overweight bodies tend to more susceptible toward diseases. Choose a healthy diet plan and do regular exercise to get an ideal and healthy body.
It is very important to choose the right diet plan because everyone's body is not the same. Study popular diets from time to time, especially their pluses and minuses, before you choose them.
Atkins Diet Plan
Atkins Diet Plan was very popular in the year 2000. Found by Dr. Robert Atkins, the method of Atkins Diet Plan is to burn of reserve fat in your body as a fuel of your energy when the body doesn't have more carbohydrate as a fuel. The food that you consume on Atkins Diet Plan is mostly rely on protein and fat such as cheese, egg and butter.
The Atkins Diet Plan is proven to be successful in reducing your weight fast. Research shows that for those people who join this Atkins Diet Plan will lose 7 kg in 6 months.
Consuming high protein can make your liver and kidney work heavier than before. Less vegetables and fruits will make your body lack vitamin, fiber and mineral. This can makes your body not function normally.
South Beach Diet
As the beginning, Dr. Arthur Agatsson created this south beach diet to help his patients to reduce their cholesterol and sugar within the blood. In the South Beach Diet, you have to take the food according to the phase of diet, with avoiding high or moderately high-glycemic carbohydrates, such as dairy, sugar, candy, bread, potatoes, fruit, cereals, and grains.
The South Beach Diet is proven to make you lose 6 kg in 2 weeks in the first phase, and this diet is also believed to extend your lifespan and keep you in good health.
The first phase of this diet is hard to follow. You have to eliminate all your favorite foods such as potatoes, bread, cake and ice cream. Even this south beach diet is proven to lose your weight but this diet is not losing our fat that we want to get rid, but the water in our body.
Blood Type Diet
Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, who is a a naturopathic physician and also founder of this Blood Type Diet, thought that blood type is a key role in determine suitable foods. With consuming the right food that suit with your blood type you can reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart attack, not to mention to stability your weight.
A lot of nutritionists have not confirmed this method yet and this theory has a lack of scientific literature.
How to choose a healthy diet plan?
Almost every diet plan has offer a fast slimming method. But be careful in choosing because some of them are not suitable for your body.
Here are some tips in choosing a right and healthy diet plan, so you'll have the benefits and reduce the risk of problems in the future.
1. Study. Gather as much information as you can and consult your diet plan with your nutritionist.
2. Beware of side effects. Knows your health's condition, if you has anemia, allergy or high blood pressure, make sure you tell your nutritionist.
3. Discipline. Don't try to improvise in your diet plan, just follow the rules and discipline yourself not to tempted. Reducing the food can make our body lack of nutrient.
4. Take your time. In the beginning of diet, our body do an adaption process and this process takes time. Avoid doing activity that will make your body tired.
5. Exercise. Makes exercise as a part of your diet plan and your lifestyle.
Whatever diet plan you choose, always make sure that you'll include aromatherapy with it. See How Aromatherapy Can Help You With The Healthy Diet Plan.

In a small, ovenproof, earthenware pot put the onions (whole), carrots, celery, mushrooms and garlic and combine them well. Put the meat portions on top and stick the bay leaf and thyme sprig in. Add the prunes and pour the wine and meat stock over. Stir well. Put the lid on and bake at 200ºC for 1h and 45 minutes. Remove the lid and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve with potato mash and sprinkle with the finely chopped parsley. If you wish you may reduce the sauce before you serve. Put it in a saucepan and boil briskly over a high heat for 6-7 minutes until bubbling and thick. (you do that whenever you need to end up with a thick sauce).

There's a special unit that hunts for violent fugitives. Its called FIST, a multi-agency task force based out of the Pima County Sheriff's department. Our cameras were allowed to go along on an operation.
"Police, come to the door," says an officer, knocking on a door. "Randy Holberg come to the door, we know you're in there. Do it now."
The self-proclaimed white supremacist is wanted out of California for parole violations. A tip led officers to an east side apartment complex. Once handcuffed, he's taken to jail.
The FIST unit quickly moves to their next target.
Some of the officers have been doing surveillance and say he's inside an apartment complex by the airport. A plan is formulated to make the arrest.
The team gets word the suspect may be leaving and the officers swing into motion.
"Apparently the brother thinks he's wanted for violating his federal parole and we have the warrant for the other brother," says an officer.
The officers move in and make the arrests.
At all times there is constant radio communication between officers and headquarters.
We're into this operation just two hours and already the fist unit has arrested 4 individuals.
Sgt. Pat McGhee of the Pima County Sheriff's Department says "We've been pretty lucky today, a lot of times you'll do a lot of work for a week and never catch them."
Sometimes the FIST Unit gets a bonus arrest. In the process of looking for one of their targets, they came across a man who had a warrant out for a domestic violence charge.

the two basses. Single split coil on the Pbass, which is essentially a
humbucker, and two single coil pickups on the Jazz. One is located at
the bridge which will be supplying a treble balanced sound and one in
neck/mid body that carries the fuller tones of the strings at that
position. The two single coils are blended to get the Jazz bass tone,
as well as forming a hum canceling circuit depending on how they are
wired. P's and J's are really apples and oranges, so just as a Pbass
really can not sound like a Jazz neither will they inverse work. The
closest one can get is to change the wiring of the split coil on the
Pbass to mimic a single coil, but that's only going to solve half of
I believe that part of the confusion, is based on the way you are
ofto use the term EQ. Equalization is generally performed after the
instrument has generated the initial tones which is the job of the
pickups volume and tone controls. Generally P's and J's are passive
wired, and the tone is basically a pass no pass filter. Unless one has
an on board active circuit, the basses tone control isn't modifying the
original tone beyond allowing a certain range of frequencies to be
passed to the amp. An active circuit will boost or cut a given range
When using an equalizer one is generally looking to enhance frequencies
lost to a certain environment, or to cut frequencies that are two
room.for the environment.
Basically as I see it, on board controls generate the tone one is
seeking and EQ is used in an attempt to better fit the tone to the
beforeAs others will say EQ will not make orange juice from apples.
Even going beyond that, the initial "tone" generated by a bass (even
ofthe pickups add their own contribution) is a function of the amplitudes
obviouslythe various harmonics of the note being plucked. This is a function of
where the note is plucked on the string, which string, etc. And
whichthe frequencies of these harmonics depend on the frequency of the
fundamental (they are multiples). In order to mimic the changes in the
relative amplitudes of these harmonics, an EQ would have to "sense"
addnote is being played and alter the frequency response accordingly. Now
afteron top of that the fact that the two different types of pickups sense
differently, and it becomes essentially impossible for an EQ applied
the fact to make one instrument sound even approximately like the other.
Even with active circuitry, it can't be done.
If that "active circuitry" contains DSP that may be incorrect.
If so, it had better contain much more sophisticated algorithms than those
in "amp modelers" attempting to emulate real tube amps!!
I think you'd be surprised at how few people could actually pick out an amp
modeler being used in a band siutation from the actual amp in a double blind
test. I bet a good percentage would be able to tell the two apart, but I bet
the number that could tell which was which would be in the single digits

Posted by Abe Fried-Tanzer
A funny thing happened this past Wednesday night. I was watching Suburgatory, a show where you'd least expect to encounter any mention of Judaism. The send-up of suburbia features the most plastic characters you'd ever hope to meet. The fictional town of Chatswin is every native New Yorker's nightmare, the basis for the ABC comedy, which started when single father George (Jeremy Sisto) whisked his daughter Tessa (Jane Levy) away from the big city to her own personal hell. Now that George has finally found romance with Dallas (Cheryl Hines), the show caught a rare glimpse of Judaism when another man tried to steal her away.
In a place like Chatswin, culture is dominated by fashion and material things. Religion is rarely mentioned, especially since this show often gives in to its wilder temptations, featuring wholly over-the-top storylines, like jock Ryan's (Parker Young) reaction to the news that he was adopted, prompting him to refer to himself under a new name, Eugene Goldfarb. The irreverent comedy has actually already tapped into Judaism once before, in an episode earlier this season, "Foam Finger." Depressed because she was not included in her father's second wedding, the airheaded Dalia (Carly Chaikin) worked briefly with a Jewish magician named Evan, assisting him on magic tricks involving kugel. When she called him a mensch and alluded to their possible future together, he immediately said that it would never work because she's a shiksa. At the end of the episode, Dalia snuck out to her garage, opened up a Torah, and began chanting from it.
This latest brush with Judaism is just as random and unexplained. When Dallas' dog Yakult begins acting strangely, Dallas is convinced that Wilmer Valderrama's eccentric Guatemalan guru Yoni is the only one who can help get the dog back to a good place. Yoni's religion is never explicitly referenced, though his emphasis on the pronunciation of his name – George calls him "Ya-ni" – suggests Hebrew heritage. More still, as George struggles to keep Dallas from falling for Yoni's attempts to push him out, he bonds with Dallas' daughter, Dalia, who, for once, offers a look into what might be going on in her head. We meet them mid-conversation, as Dalia explains that she is having trouble grasping, in her own words, "Why a loving God would ask Abraham or whatever to sacrifice his like precious son." She laments the fact that, were she to convert, she "totally got jerked on this whole Bat Mitzvah thing" and ends her speech with "In closing, kugel!"
Dalia's sudden interest in being Jewish is a peculiar phenomenon, and, unlike some fuller television forays into Judaism, this trip feels extremely unfulfilling. Cheryl Hines had an opportunity to encounter religious Judaism in the hilarious "The Ski Lift" episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, when she mistakenly prepared a plateful of bacon for her Orthodox hosts. Inserting Dalia's meditation on Abraham and Isaac and a shot of her reading from the Torah adds little to both the show and the cinematic portrayal of Judaism. Whereas other series like Weeds and The West Wing have dealt excellently with the Judaism of their characters, this particular shout-out feels inappropriate, lacking, and, most of all, unnecessary.

Right to education kicks in on April 1
After more than six months' wait, HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Friday signed the file for the notification of the Right to Education Act, 2009, in the next few days and its implementation from April 1. Delay in working out the finances and funding pattern between the Centre and states were the reasons given by HRD ministry for sitting on the notification. But the funding pattern is yet to be worked out and there is uncertainty on how much will be allocated for RTE in the upcoming budget. Ministry sources say only a small part of RTE implementation is dependent on finances. The ministry has projected Rs 1.71 lakh crore as the total cost of RTE, for both Centre and states, for five years. Right to education being a fundamental right, the government is obliged to provide funding, sources said. They also said, "Much of what is needed under Right to Education is already there in Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) which is going to be the main vehicle for implementing the historic legislation. Additional requirements will be only in terms of getting more teachers and building more classrooms." Though late, the notification will ensure that state governments get into the act immediately and start by making it mandatory for schools to implement 25% reservation for poor children in the neighbourhood. But schools, especially private ones, in many states like Delhi might miss the reservation bus since the admission process for the coming academic session is in an advanced stage. Model rules for states have already been finalized while those for Union Territories are in an advanced stage. As for finances, sources said it is going to be a tough battle finalizing the funding pattern. States are also awaiting the 13th Finance Commission report to know what kind of devolution of funds has been recommended. Sources said more than Rs 20,000 crore has been given to the states for SSA. Hope stems from the fact that the Centre as well as states are in the process of finalizing their budgets. It is also expected that demand for extra funds will be met through supplementary grants.

Brandvertising - the modern world's biggest identities go head-to-head
Here's a really fascinating graphics project by Romanian designer Stefan Asafti who has taken some of the world's most competitive brands identities and looked at their visual influences on each other.
Stefan says "It is surprising how logos can influence other logos. The truth is that each pair of rivals has something in common, that something which has helped them to build one identity upon the other, this way becoming the biggest brands."
A really interesting concept and the overall result are some stunning pieces of design.
Top job Stefan!

Q. Do I need to do all of the required 50 hours supervised driving with a professional instructor?
A. No, any qualified driver ie. with full Drivers licence for a minimum of 2yrs, may be your Supervising Driver and fill out your Driving Log.
Q. Can Mum or Dad take me through the Log Book?
A. Yes, but only a government Accredited MDI (Motor vehicle Driving Instructor) can sign off the competencies in the Log Book.
Q. What is VORT?
A. VORT (Vehicle on Road Test) is a once off test that may be attempted at any stage by a holder of a SA learner driver's permit, or a Section 80 (international conversion).
Q. What is better, Log Book or VORT?
A. This will depend on the individual. Log Book Training is competency based training and as such, it is designed to build upon and link newly acquired competencies towards your final drive (Task30). Log Book training is far less stressful and more complete in the skill level achieved. VORT has a high first time failure rate (due mainly to clients believing they are ready, when they aren't yet up to standard) and the test itself can be quite stressfull for the client. VORT would normally suit someone with a high level of experience and/or in excess of 50 hours of supervised driving/tuition.
Q. How many lessons will I need to get my licence?
A. This is very much an individual thing, as we all learn at different levels/rates. The key is to get as much practice as you can, Remember, "Practice makes Perfect".
Q. Can anyone sit in on my lessons with an instructor?
A. Yes, in fact at BE ROAD WISE! we actively encourage your Supervising Driver/s (Mum/Dad etc) to attend as many lessons as they would like. This will help to reinforce the instructors training when you practice your driving outside of lessons.
Q What would happen if I were to be stopped by Police for breaking a road law?
A. Well of course this wouldn't happen during a lesson with BE ROAD WISE!, but if you were to breach Road Law during a lesson or with your Supervising Driver, then you are liable for any fines etc incurred.
Q. If I am disqualified from holding either my Learners or my Provisional licence, what will happen?
A. Under an initiative by the SA government, if you are disqualified during these periods your licence will regress. That means you will LOOSE YOUR LICENCE. Disqualification of a Learners Permit; Re sit your Theory Test and must hold your learners permit for 9 months instead of 6. Disqualification of P1; you need to re-apply for a Learners Permit (no Theory Test) then pass a Practicle Driving Test again. Disqualification of P2; Re-issued with a P1 Licence then resitting the Hazard Perception Test.
Q. How soon should I start lessons?
A. As soon as you have your Learners Permit, especially if you or Mum or Dad are nervous about you driving! Remember that all of the time taken for Professional tuition count towards your 50 hours of supervised driving and that you definitely DO NOT have to have your 50 hours up before starting with an instructor!

Maryland Weekly Fishing Report Overview | July 31, 2013
Keith Lockwood is taking a well-deserved break from DNR duties for a couple of weeks. Joe Evans is filling in his absence.
The great advantage we have in the DNR Fisheries community is that our biologists are all keen anglers. When they are not studying fish, they are most likely out fishing, which is very much the same thing.
DNR Fisheries Western Region biologist and trout authority Al Klotz offers these observations:
"This rainy summer has made for some good summer flows in Western Maryland trout streams. The insect hatches have trickled off, however. Still, the swimming mayfly Isonychia is emerging this time of year and can provide some good fly-fishing using both nymph and adult fly imitations. Grasshoppers and crickets are starting to appear along the streams, and these terrestrial patterns can also produce this time of the year. I fished the Youghiogheny River Catch and Return Trout Fishing Area one evening recently and tried my luck using both the Isonychia nymph patterns and grasshopper flies. I caught a couple of mid-sized Rainbow Trout on the nymphs, and then switched over to the grasshopper pattern once the sun was off the water. The trout hit the grasshopper pattern with an explosive strike fished in the faster deep runs."

DNR biologist and Smallmouth Bass expert John Mullican brings news of the 2013 Upper Potomac Smallmouth Bass survey and the action on the river:
"We have been evaluating the 2013 year-class of Smallmouth Bass in the Potomac and larger tributaries for a few weeks. This annual survey is conducted using a 30-foot seine at multiple sites throughout the upper Potomac from Cumberland to just downstream of Great Falls. We use the annual mean number of young smallmouth bass collected per seine haul as an index to estimate year-class strength. We also record the number of nongame and forage species. Stronger year-classes are generally produced during springs with stable, average flows; while springs with flooding and highly variable flows tend to result in weaker year-classes. Highly variable year-class strength is quite normal for river Smallmouth populations.
2013 has been a wet year, and the Potomac experienced a number of high flow events during the spring and a particularly ill-timed event that occurred in early May when the Smallmouth Bass were spawning. Although this year's survey is still being conducted, and won't be completed for several more weeks, preliminary results suggest that this year's hatch of Smallmouth Bass will be below the long-term median value at most locations. We'll post the results when we have completed the survey of all sites.
Meanwhile, the wet weather has continued into the summer months, and that has been good for fishing. River flows have been above normal, allowing easier navigation. The Smallmouth fishing has been very good. During the hot days of summer, the best action is typically during the early morning or late evening hours. Start off with topwater baits such as Tiny Torpedoes and buzz baits. Switch to tubes and stick worms rigged wacky or Texas style when the surface action slows. Fish the waters with current and fish holding cover such as water-willow beds, boulders, and rock ledges. That'll work."
DNR Upper Potomac bass survey

DNR Inland Fisheries director Don Cosden echoes the good fishing report:
"We canoed and fished the Potomac River between Harpers Ferry and Brunswick on Sunday. Conditions were perfect for fishing mid-day at this time of year. The water was a little higher than normal and the slight bit of turbidity and cloudy conditions helped to cut the light penetration. Smallmouth and Redbreast Sunfish were active the entire day. My wife was getting them on small spinning lures. I experimented with the fly rod unsuccessfully at first but slowly caught up with Susie after switching to a wacky worm. Later in the day as the clouds thickened, I had success on a fly rod popper. In the end we each caught more than 50 bass. Many were 12 inches or larger, including several which exceeded 16 inches. After running the ledges at Knoxville we jumped out of the boats and floated in tubes and life vests just to cool off and relax. I can't think of a better way to spend a summer day in Maryland."
Legendary Bass Guide, Andy Andrzejewski, reports that the recent cool nights have dropped tidal Potomac River water temperatures into the low 80's. The early morning top-water bite remains strong. Andy prefers poppers over grass frogs because the poppers simply catch more than the frogs. But, in the thick grass, frogs and rats work better.
The wacky-rigged stick worm is his next favorite bait, fished slowly along grass or pad edges and anywhere a marsh drains into the creeks. Boat docks and bridge pilings in less than nine feet of water provide consistent bites when fished with worms or jigs. The outgoing tide and the first two hours of the incoming tide seem to be the best times for catching.
DNR Fisheries Eastern Region biologist Brett Coakley confirms the reports of many other anglers who have found dependable Striped Bass action in the Maryland's Middle Bay waters:
"Live-lining spot for stripers in the Poplar Island area remains steady. Fleets of up to 100 boats were there this weekend. Live-lining will become more difficult with reports of decent sized bluefish moving up from the south.
The break in the heat brought out some anglers onto Unicorn Lake. Most caught an abundance of bluegills and a few yellow perch, bass and pickerel. Normally, Unicorn is covered in algae, which makes the fishing tough. The summer rains have kept the algae at bay for the most part.
Crabbing on the Chester and other Upper Bay areas remains pretty spotty, although the crabs you get tend to be large and fat."
Coakley's Middle Bay rockfish report is corroborated by the fact that as of 12:00 p.m. 7/30/13, DNR Fisheries staff and the Natural Resource Police are in the process of certifying twenty-two 2013 Diamond Jim recapture tags.
That's right; 22.
By comparison, the 2012 Maryland Fishing Challenge produced nine Diamond Jim recaptures over the summer. The anglers who caught those tagged fish took home $2,778 checks for their efforts at the Maryland Fishing Challenge finale held in conjunction with the Maryland Seafood Festival last September.
11-year-old Nathan Smith and his 2013 tagged Diamond Jim rockfish.
As of July 26, DNR Fisheries biologists and volunteer youth anglers had caught, tagged and released about 600 Diamond Jim rockfish. Each fish is worth at least $500 to the lucky recreational fisherperson who catches it. One of these fish could be worth as much as $25,000 and a set of diamond studs. Learn more at the Maryland Fishing Challenge web page.
Further proof of excellent fishing came aboard my skiff this week with a visit from renowned ex-charter captain turned musical impresario Chuck Fisher, who came out to tune me up on his signature live-lining method. We left Annapolis at sunrise to catch the bait and beat the heat. No more than 500 yards from the dock, we found pan-worthy white perch on every throw using blood worms on double dropper rigs cast in toward some rip-rap. That was enough to placate the folks at home who would forgive a day of hooky in exchange for delicious filets. We moved out to the tip of the Tolly Point bar in search of Norfolk Spot for bait ( Here in Maryland, we prefer calling them simply "spot," apparently not willing to offer Virginia any consideration on this.) We caught just about everything but spot, including big grumpy Croakers, plump White Perch, and several small stripersâone after the other. Inshore at the Bay Ridge rocks in less than two feet of water, we caught and released a dozen huge spot, and we kept one dainty bait-sized example for the live well. We rigged that lone victim up on Captain Fisher's excellent live-line float rig and pretty much immediately caught a 26-inch striper near the Hacketts buoy under a half-acre of rippling Menhaden. With just one keeper rockfish, we could still come home knowing that everywhere we fished and nearly every time we cast, we caught something sweet.
DNR Coastal Fisheries biologist Steve Doctor offers a brief rundown of the Atlantic coast action:
"The Summer Flounder pattern continues with good fishing at the reefs. The flounder fishing in the coastal bays has been a little slow due to turbid water. Surf anglers are racking up kingfish, croakers, spot and big rays. Crabbing remains sketchy, but the clamming is good.
Offshore at the Washington Canyon, yellowfin tuna and wahoo occasionally join the party. Bluefin tuna have been dependable over the Hot Dog lump.
"Sleeping, we image what awake we wish; Dogs dream of bones, and fishermen of fish." - Theocrites
Keith Lockwood has been writing the Fishing Report since 2003 and has had a long career as a fisheries research biologist since 1973. Over the course of his career he has studied estuarine fishery populations, ocean species, and over a decade long study of bioaccumulation of chemicals in aquatic species in New Jersey. Upon moving to Oxford on the eastern shore of Maryland; research endeavors focused on a variety of catch and release studies as well as other fisheries related research at the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory. Education and outreach to the fishing public has always been an important component to the mission of these studies. Keith is an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting, fishing, bird dogs, family and life on the eastern shore of Maryland.

The Ocean abounds with life. Sea Bass continue to fatten up for winter. They are steady moving offshore - now 28 to 35 miles off in 140 feet of water. Sunday was the best weather day of the long weekend and I finally made it offshore seeking some sea bass. Dog sharks patrol the structures and are joined by Bluefish terrorizing the wrecks. Bluefin Tuna are abundant at the same depths as are sea bass, drawing birds and jumping out of the water, making big crashes when they hit the water. The tuna fish we saw are over one hundred pounds. The depth finder is lit up with all kinds of fish signals - too many to fish in a day.

Yesterday at Piney Run I landed my personal best rockfish out of fresh or saltwater. It was 39" and 26 pounds. I've also landed a short fat 2.2lb largemouth and a very hefty 11" Yellow Perch in the last few days.
MSSA Fall Classic Results
Type: Chesapeake
Location: Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River
Tags: MSSA Fall Classic Results
The 21st annual Chesapeake Bay Fall Classic Striped Bass tournament concluded this past weekend with 160 boats and an estimated 600 anglers competing for their share of $60,000.
Historically, The Fall Classic has awarded over $80,000 in cash and prizes. However this years cold front kept some of our regulars on land. Captains and anglers saw winds range from 15 knots to gusts up to 50 knots. Temperatures barley reached 40 degrees on Saturday and in the mid-twenties on Sunday.
I am truly amazed at the determination and skill level we saw from our Captains and anglers this year. There is no doubt in my mind that Maryland has some of the best anglers in the country after what we saw this weekend, said Dave Smith Executive Director of the Maryland Saltwater Sportfishing Association (MSSA).
MSSA hosts this tournament and others throughout the year, both on the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. MSSA is the largest Sportfishing organization in the region with 14 chapters and nearly 7,000 members, focusing on youth involvement and protecting the rights of recreational anglers.

3rd Place Jason Rizzo from Queen Anne

Youth Division
Like almost everything MSSA does there was a Youth component. This year we had a few youth anglers brave the cold weather and get out on the water. We commend them and their parents for getting up and going fishing.
First Place Jimmy Tippett 33.4 pounds
Second Place Robert Harris III 10.05 pounds
Third Place Darin Zagalsky 9.95 pounds

I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Arati Prabhakar talk at an executive breakfast this week. She is the new director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Listening to her poised, articulate and informed presentation was a delightful way to begin the day!
Dr. Prabhakar stressed her commitment to finding breakthrough capabilities that will improve our national security, enabling our warfighters to possess a "strategic surprise" that can change an outcome. As we wind down from a decade of war, which necessarily focused DARPA on more near-term deliverables, she hopes to move the agency past the counter insurgency realm and towards a longer-range and broader perspective.
Access to our core manufacturing capabilities is one of her prime objectives. Some of this work we simply can no longer do in the US (we just don't have the expertise or the equipment). Identifying what these core capabilities are and preparing a plan on how we will access them in a time of need is essential.
Dr. Prabhakar discussed the inherent conflict that exists between what her organization does and what the service Program Managers and Labs do. DARPA's mission is to find technologies that "break the business models". Injecting these technologies into DoD programs can sometimes cause disruptions. Having liaison officers from each service at DARPA has helped considerably with this. I'm convinced that if anyone can smooth over the seams, it will be Dr. Prabhakar!
Here is her official bio from the DARPA site:
Dr. Arati Prabhakar has spent her career investing in world-class engineers and scientists to create new technologies and businesses. Her first service to national security started in 1986 when she joined DARPA as a program manager. She initiated and managed programs in advanced semiconductor technology and flexible manufacturing, as well as demonstration projects to insert new semiconductor technologies into military systems. As the founding director of DARPA's Microelectronics Technology Office, she led a team of program managers whose efforts spanned these areas, as well as optoelectronics, infrared imaging and nanoelectronics.
In 1993, President William Clinton appointed Dr. Prabhakar director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where she led the 3,000-person organization in its work with companies across multiple industries.
Dr. Prabhakar moved to Silicon Valley in 1997, first as chief technology officer and senior vice president at Raychem, and later vice president and then president of Interval Research. From 2001 to 2011, she was a partner with U.S. Venture Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm. Dr. Prabhakar identified and served as a director for startup companies with the promise of significant growth. She began with entrepreneurs in energy and efficiency technologies, components for consumer electronics, and semiconductor process and design technology.
Dr. Prabhakar received her Doctor of Philosophy in applied physics and Master of Science in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology. She received her Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from Texas Tech University. She began her career as a Congressional Fellow at the Office of Technology Assessment.
Dr. Prabhakar has served in recent years on the National Academies' Science Technology and Economic Policy Board, the College of Engineering Advisory Board at the University of California, Berkeley, and the red team of DARPA's Defense Sciences Research Council. In addition, she chaired the Efficiency and Renewables Advisory Committee for the U.S. Department of Energy. Dr. Prabhakar is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a Texas Tech Distinguished Engineer, and a Caltech Distinguished Alumna.

Echino Grassy Plain Dress « The Sew Convert
The dress that got me interested in Japanese Sewing Books is this purple scarf dress featured on the cover of 'Les couleurs francaises'. It is also my reward dress for completing the target I set for myself in my Japanese Sewing Book challenge. I used my precious Echino Grassy Plain fabric which I thought was so appropriate for the design. The fabric was in my untouchable stash but I am glad it has turned into this dress! The dress is Project C from 'Les couleurs francaises'. It is relatively easy to make with many detailed diagrams.

A few weeks ago the "collective" (Jen, Seth, and myself) took advantage of one of Gamestop's extra trade-in bonus weekends to clear out some old games and pick up a brand new Xbox 360 for a very, very cheap price.

That somewhere is the recently announced price cut for all 360 models.
Thousand Yard Stares: Ruins and Ghosts of the Battle of Peleliu, 1944 ...
Peleliu is a small island that forms part of the nation of Palau in the Pacific. It's about five hours flying time south of Japan and three hours east of the Philippines. It's now, like the rest of Palau, beautiful, peaceful and home to more shades of blue in the sea and sky than you or your camera lens would ever have thought possible. Blue wasn't always the colour. Between September and November 1944, it was the site of an incredibly fierce battle between US and Japanese armed forces. Peleliu island is about 14 square miles of terrain; during the three months of fighting, the casualty rate worked out at just under 1,000 men killed per square mile of island.
This is a novel about books and technology, cryptography and conspiracy, friendship and love. It begins in a mysterious San Francisco bookstore, but quickly reaches out into the wider world and the shadowed past. I talked about the ideas behind the book on NPR's Morning Edition, and had a real-life bibliophile adventure with the New York Times. George Saunders says: [This book] is a real tour-de-force, a beautiful fable that is given legs by the author's bravado use of the real (Google is in there, for instance, the actual campus) to sell us on a shadow world of the unreal and the speculative. Robin Sloan comes across as so bighearted, so in love with the world—the ancient world, the contemporary world—so in love with love, in love with friendship, in love with the idea that our technical abilities can serve as conduits for beauty, that the reader is swept along by his enthusiasm.

Honestly really have always been turned off by salad bar --- but Club House in Bensalem had the best salad bar I've ever seen. Not sure what these other nonsense reviews are about. The place was cleaner than most chains too! group of approximately 10 of us show up once a month . The service is fantastic our waiter is friendly, helpful and really on the ball. Never had a problem with the food it is good wholesome food and plenty of it. The coffee keeps coming. I was surprised to see some negative reviews it is not the ritz but is good food, great service and it is easy to find with convenient parking.

I hadn't been to the clubhouse in a couple of years: today when i went,it was not the way i remembered it. I was very dissapointed. Food quality was much worse and the menu has changed. NEVER AGAIN!
Posted by Jenna31 on 05/28/2012
The breakfast seemed pricey but the food was good, the service was not. First we waited for our waitress to show up and take our orderand then waited even longer for our food to come. We waited a over half an hour for our food, while the people next to us came in after us, ate their food and left and we were still waiting for our breakfast (same amount of people in our party), wasn't even busy. The waitress wasn't very happy either, seemed like she could care less about taking our order, won't be back for a very long time.
Posted by sandy on 04/19/2012
been eating here on and off for at least 20 years. haven't been here for a while. what a surprise, not a pleasant one. food was not the same quality. saucerless coffee cup had coffee dripped all over the outside. saucer under soup cup was filled with more soup than the cup. the floor had food dropped on it. just not the same clubhouse. did not like the change in menu.
Posted by Catherine on 03/23/2012
They recently changed the menu. There is still great deals available. But they must have gotten a new chef. Many of my favorites I can't eat anymore. The crab cake is ok. The mac and cheese has a thick sticky cheese. And sadly the pasta sauce and stewed tomatoes are now loaded with garlic! Breakfast is still good and the salad bar is one of the best. The coffee hasn't changed. But I miss my Friday crab cake and stewed tomatoes.
Posted by Charles on 02/19/2012
We went to the Club House yesterday evening, the restaurant has changed their menu structure. The daily menu on the early bird has been replaced by 8 choices, broken down by price, 3 at the $10.00 price point and the balance at a $15.00 price point. Additionally, the choices of a second vegetable has been reduced from the usual 6 or 7 to 2. Last evening, being either brocolli or corn, mashed potatoes come on the plate so corn and mashed potatoes ? The bright points is the salad bar is still excellent with plenty of choices, and the chicken soup has improved with the addition of slightly undercooked vegetables, and real chicken in identifiable pieces. We will be going back to see how this plays out

Healthy recommendations, steam to combat colds in children
When our baby is sick or has pharyngitis, sinusitis and respiratory diseases, the most beneficial is it to inhale steam. As a steam particles invade the airways, make secretions from becoming much more fluid which then serves to help eliminate them.
Many people often add a few drops of essential oil menthol, as it is a decongestant, cough suppressant and expectorant, also favors this transfer.
We must remember not to use menthol in cases where our baby is allergic, asthmatic or in cases of moms who are studying pregnancy. The water without aggregates is completely safe and very good to lighten the secretions. Read the rest of this entry »

Baybeats 2012 hopefuls Atlas released their debut EP Questions & Answers today. There's some obvious Coldplay influence all around, especially with the addition of vocalist Alfy Hushairi. The band also claims to be, at least partially, "post-rock" (but you know how I feel about that). Still, there's lots of great reverb-drenched layers of guitars and synths, though the sloppy drumming brings down tracks like Genius (Life in Transit), which really begs for a human drum machine à la Phil Selway on Weird Fishes/Arpeggi.
All in all a promising attempt and enjoyable despite the technical imperfections.

It's Monday again. This past weekend really felt like a three-day weekend. I'm not even sure why. Maybe because I stayed busy the whole time. It was just so nice. We officially have a new home. We're moving in this weekend. AJ's parents arrive home on Thursday so we've been packing stuff up like banchees.
Can I just say that I am so excited that it's almost April. I am so excited for warm weather and for my family to come visit. There is just nothing quite like the summer.
