• abjure •
Pronunciation: æb-jur • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: 1. To renounce, reject, disavow emphatically or solemnly, as to abjure cabs and busses in favor of walking. 2. To recant, take back, as to abjure a previous stance on the war.
Notes: The act of abjuring is abjuration, and someone who engages in such is an abjurer. Abjure has a stronger sense than reject. We might reject something and later accept it again; however, we would hardly return to something we have abjured. Abjure would be the term for legal rejection, as a legal abjuration of any claim on an inheritance. To disavow something is simply to deny any connection with it or responsibility for it.
In Play: Anything strongly, legally, or emphatically rejected is abjured: "The current trend is to abjure physical pain (on the child) in bringing up children." Abjuration in the second sense of the word can imply emphatically breaking off or away from: "Madeleine abjured her engagement to Ezekiel when she discovered that he was addicted to crossword puzzles."
Word History: This word comes to us from Latin abiurare "deny on oath" (Latin had no J), made up of ab "away (from)" + iurare "to swear" (an oath). Iurare is based on ius "law, justice" (iur-is "of law, of justice"), the origin of English jury. This root is also visible in several other English legal words borrowed from Latin such as jurisprudence and jurisdiction. Latin seems to be the only Indo-European language interested in this root, but it was put to wide use there; it also appears in iustus, the origin of English just and justice. (It is only just that we thank Mark Bailey for suggesting today's Good Word, so I will not abjure that responsibility: Thank you, Mark.)

Forums: Index > The Wizengamot archive > Is a muggle born and a half blood all get called mud blood? or is muggle born synonamous for mud blood?
I there a difference between a muggle born and a mud blood? I thought there were muggle born (no wizard parents) and half blood(one wizard parent), and true bloods( both wizard parents) with the slang mud blood applying to both muggle born and half blood and a dirty lineage slang. My son thinks a half blood cannot be called a mud blood. Who is right? email to email@example.com your thoughts
- Well, I would say you are both right. A Mud-blood is another word for a Muggle-born. A Half-Blood could be called a Mud-blood, but generally the term mud-blood isnt used to describe a half-blood. RatneerOwl Alert! 02:14, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
- I believe the term "mudblood" is only used to refer to muggle-borns. However, to pure-blood fanatics like the Malfoys, even half-blood is a derogatory term, as to them it means people like Harry are only half-wizards, not "real" wizards. For example, in "Order of the Phoenix", Bellatrix Lestrange calls Harry "filthy half-blood". - Nick O'Demus 14:09, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Ed Pasque became the new Commissioner of the Sunshine State Conference at the stroke of midnight, tonight, January 1, 2014. Pasque will now oversee the expanding nine-school SSC in a conference that he served as a student-athlete during his collegiate career.
"We are extremely pleased and excited to hire Ed as the new commissioner of the Sunshine State Conference," said Dr. George L. Hanbury, President of Nova Southeastern and current President of the Sunshine State Conference. "His 11 years of administrative experience at both the Division I and Division II levels will be beneficial to our conference moving forward."
Pasque, a former student-athlete at Eckerd College, has spent the past 10 years as an administrator in intercollegiate athletics at the Division I level. Prior to his position with the A-10, he was the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Administration at Northern Illinois University from 2006-08. He served Campbell University for three years as Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance and Academic Services from 2003-06.
"It is an honor to be selected as the next Commissioner of the Sunshine State Conference," said Pasque. " I would like to thank the Presidents Council for the opportunity to return to the conference in this role, and could not be more excited to work with such high quality administrators, coaches and student-athletes to build upon the proud history of this conference."
Before working in Division I, Pasque spent one year as the Graduate Assistant for Compliance at the University of West Florida. He also was a volunteer assistant coach for the men's basketball team.
Pasque earned his juris doctorate degree from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law in 2001. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Eckerd College in 1992. Between degrees, Pasque served in the United States Navy as a communications supervisor for the Helicopter Combat Support Squadron 11.
In addition to his roles in athletic administration, Pasque has worked as an adjunct professor at West Florida, Campbell and Northern Illinois, where he taught classes in sports law, sports finance and sports marketing. He has also worked as an intercollegiate athletics consultant with Carr Sports Associates from 2004-08, providing expertise in the areas of NCAA legislation and membership requirements as part of strategic planning and feasibility studies.
A native of Hazel Park, Mich., Pasque and his wife, Stacey, have three children: Ruby, Oliver and Hazel.
Pasque takes the Commissioner's baton from Jay Jones, who served the SSC since September 2009. Jones has relocated with his family to Indianapolis, Ind. as his wife; Maritza Jones was recently named the NCAA Director of Division II.
Located in Winter Park, the Sunshine State Conference is the only NCAA conference headquartered in the state of Florida. Its nine member institutions, all located within the state are: Barry University (Miami Shores), Eckerd College (St. Petersburg), Florida Southern College (Lakeland), Florida Institute of Technology (Melbourne), Lynn University (Boca Raton), Nova Southeastern (Fort Lauderdale), Rollins College (Winter Park), Saint Leo University (Saint Leo) and the University of Tampa.
The SSC sponsors 17 intercollegiate sports that compete in NCAA Division II. More than 2,000 student-athletes participate in men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, baseball, softball, women's rowing and men's lacrosse. SSC schools have won 84 NCAA Division II National Championships, and the league is the top-rated academic conference in Division II.

Unlucky Irish Icons with Really Bad Hangovers
What Is It Now? A snazzy island retreat.
How That Happened: A tropical island surrounded by gorgeous beaches is great for getting bombed... on Mai Tai's. The U.S. Navy finally stopped using this tiny isle as a training ground in 2003, then after a controversy over unexploded munitions, much of the Navy's territory was converted to fish and wildlife reserves, meaning the only patrols roving Vieques nowadays are ubiquitous wild horses. With the most powerful military on Earth gone, something was needed to fill the void, and the Starwood Hotels' chain of boutique vacationing digs, The W Hotel, was ready to roll: their airport lounge is the first thing you encounter upon reaching the island.
What Is It Now? A Taliban clubhouse.
How That Happened: The U.S. spent five brutal years from 2005 on defending this mountaintop in an Afghani valley, during which it acquired its nickname for the 42 soldiers killed. Colonel Wayne Shanks said the decision to leave in April 2010 "was the correct one based on the resources that we have available" and it was destroyed before American forces departed to eliminate much of its strategic value, but the Taliban still got a kick out of giving interviews broadcast on Al-Jazeera from there.

Love the Senseo coffee the single cup capability!!
The one cup works exactly as it is supposed to. The Senseo starter coffee is so good it spoils you into buying more but you don't have to use the special coffee packets that came with the unit, it's not neccesary. A regular coffee filter may be folded around the amount of coffee needed for one cup then folded over the top and put in the unit as if it was a pre-filled packet. It works fine that way and allows the owner to use the brand and flavor that is preferred. I like my coffee bold so I use 2 pods to make 12oz cup as I prefer it bold tasting. I also bought some Baronet Coffee French Vanilla Medium Roast and it was full of flavor and wonderful and you only need to use 1 pod as these are a little bigger than the Senseo. The Senseo pods can be purchased from Senseo or on Amazon - they have a variety to choose from. As mentioned, you don't have to buy pods and you can can also use your own coffee. Only one regret is I wish I had purchased the smaller machine as it has a smaller footprint and brews the same. Great single-cup coffee, tea, hot chocolate, hot water brewer!!!Read More
Great little single-serve coffe maker
I bought this because I prefer different types and flavors of coffee, while my wife just prefers the same old roast coffee. This is a nice personalized coffee maker and can also be used for entertaining when only one person wants a cup of coffee. I grind my own coffee and use the Melitta Loose Tea Filters to add a couple scoops and it fits perfect in the drip compartment. I have not tried the Senseo Pods that were provided with the coffee maker yet. It also seems to be easy to clean as well.Read More
Machine great but Senseo Packets are out of stock
Don't buy this machine until the Sanseo packets are available. They have been out of stock for months in stores and online. They can't be found anywhere. I wish I knew this before I bought the machine that only came with 18packets. The machine works great and makes wonderful coffee but it can't be used with any other kind of coffee. BEWARE!Read More
PODS not K Cups
I've had 3 "proper" Senseo coffee makers in this past, LOVE them and all have taken PODS, not K Cups (that's Keurig...& I had one of those for about 10 minutes, cause it was tempermental and sucked!) I have to address some confusion with other reviews... These coffee makers take PODS NOT K cups! I'm not sure how it's coming across as "misleading" and causing other customers to "take their business elsewhere"...seems like an "operator error" and really has nothing to do with the quality of the coffee maker... Do you demand a station wagon when you've purchased an SUV? I guess you can take your toys home in either one. ; ) Bottom line: If you like a fresh, delicious, frothy coffee...but this.Read More
Poor Quality Product
I wish I could return this product. After reading one review about using the Melitta loose leaf tea bags, I purchased this machine. We like to use a specific coffee and thought this was the answer. Unfortunately, this product makes the weakest coffee I've ever tasted and I don't like it strong. Even the Senseo pods make a weak cup of coffee. I don't know if there is perhaps something wrong with the machine or not, but I would never purchase again.Read More

If all your POS system does is take various forms of payment and print receipts, you are in the wrong position. POS today must be the epicenter and tied directly in with your marketing and loyalty programs, and also serve as the font of most critical information for driving, at least to a significant extent, internal and external business operations and decision-making.
That was the loud and clear message delivered by Orlando "Butch" Jagoda, CIO, Helzberg Diamonds during TOPSS in Las Vegas in October. TOPSS, the Technology & Operations Store Summit, is produced by Chain Store Age and Retail Technology Quarterly. "Sometimes IT can out-stage the business needs, and you always have to be careful not to do that. But with POS, it is extremely important that it be services-oriented in nature. The POS must offer value and be part of the customer-loyalty offering.
"In selling diamonds, for example, there is a complex series of items that must be kept track of—trade-ins, repairs, special orders, etc. It is not just about smiling and selling. The POS plays an immensely important business function for us," Jagoda said.
On the technical side, he added, there are quite a few new and innovative solutions coming onto the market. The question retailers must ask is, '"What is the opportunity there for you?" Helzberg Diamonds has been partnering with Micros for much of its POS needs for some 10 years, he noted.
Sharing the stage with Jagoda was Chaz Napoli, COO, Micros Retail, who noted that now is a turning point for many retailers in terms of upgrading their POS systems. With the advanced functions that can now be embedded and integrated into the front end and that offer enormous opportunities, retailers must really do their homework and make the right choice to gain the greatest advantage.
"There are many Tier 1 companies that skipped a generation and are still running in a client-server type operating environment. They may have installed systems in the 1980s and decided to not invest again in the 1990s. But they cannot afford to skip a second generation" of POS systems, Napoli said.
"There are also a lot of retailers such as Helzberg Diamonds, that did invest in POS in the 1990s but now are looking for the flexibility to work XML, function on a multi-national level, and allow the company to work with partners but also be in position to take more control and be in front of issues such as PCI," he said.
Jagoda added that Helzberg is in a low-turn business, and thus it is even more important for the retailer to leverage innovation and make the right investments. "Business is conducted in the store, and that is where our assets are—in communications and in a superior buying experience. That is what customers expect of us."

Washington, D.C. -- According to the National Retail Federation and BIGinsight's 2012 Back-to-School survey, families with school and college-aged students as of Aug. 7 say they have more than half of their shopping lists to complete.
The average person with children in grades K-12 has completed 40.1% of their shopping, while college shoppers and their families have completed slightly more at 45.3%.
Overall, school and college shoppers this year are expected to spend a total of $83.8 billion.
"It's evident that there are plenty 'last minute shoppers' this year and for retailers these next two weeks are of utmost importance when it comes to attracting families who still have apparel, electronics and school supplies to stock up on," said NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay. "Given how much of an impact the economy is having on consumers' buying decisions, retailers will remain competitive up through the final sale after Labor Day, rolling out web, in-store and even mobile promotions to entice children and their parents."
The survey found that more college students and their families have already finished their shopping (16.4%), than school shoppers (7.8%). Additionally, there are fewer school and college shoppers who say they have not started their shopping yet (28.5% versus 31.1% of college shoppers last year, and 26.9% versus 28.3% of K-12 shoppers last year.)

A BANK worker who raided customers' accounts to fund his addiction to fixed odds betting machines has been jailed at Bolton Crown Court.
The court heard how Ben Spencer lost cash on the machines and dipped into Santander customers' accounts when he could not afford the pay-day loans he had taken out to repay his debts.
Daniel Calder, prosecuting, told how 23-year-old Spencer was taken on by the bank in January 2010, as a customer advisor, but in August 2011 he was promoted to the position of personal account manager, which allowed him to have a unique reference number giving him access to customer accounts.
Recorder Philip Curran said it was a "pity" no one realised at that time that Spencer, who worked at branches across Greater Manchester, had a gambling problem.
Mr Calder said that just over a year after Spencer was promoted, on August 31, 2012, he transferred £1,000 from a customer's account into a Lloyds TSB account he had set up himself.
He subsequently stole a total of £28,417.85 from 11 customers over the following 16 months, transferring the cash into his own Lloyds TSB account and to two others he had set up for the same purpose.
The crime only came to light in January this year when customer Jeffrey Marsland checked his account and complained to the bank that two lots of £1,000 had been transferred out in October and December last year.
Mr Calder said the complaint sparked an investigation.
He said: "The defendant was swiftly identified as the employee responsible for carrying out those transactions."
The court heard that Spencer, of Cross Field Drive, Radcliffe, resigned and co-operated with investigators to identify all the customers he had stolen from in order to pay off gambling debts.
"He admitted he had taken the money in an attempt to remedy the spiral he found himself in," said Mr Calder.
Spencer pleaded guilty to 16 counts of theft.
Rebecca Sharpe, defending, said that although his victims were all over 55 years, their ages were not the reason Spencer had selected them as targets.
They had large sums in their accounts so the bank worker hoped the amounts he stole, which ranged from £27, to more than £3,000 at a time, would not be missed.
She added that Spencer, who has no previous criminal record, had now sought the help of Gamblers Anonymous and is unlikely to appear in court again.
"He makes no attempt to minimise his actions and takes responsibility for them," said Miss Sharpe.
Jailing Spencer for 12 months, Recorder Curran told him: "The tragedy is that, having got into debt yourself, you tried to get out of it by stealing other people's money.
"You must have realised at that time that what you were doing was a serious breach of trust.
"It undermines the confidence of people who use banks — people put their money in there in the belief it would be safe."

I'm back ladies! In case you didn't know, I was in San Diego attending a blogging conference. BlogHer is the largest conference for women bloggers. There are over 3,000 women from all over the world. It was so much fun, and such a great learning experience.
Over the next couple of days, you'll see some of the outfits I wore. Torrid, Jessica London, Ashley Stewart, and Sonsi supplied me with clothes and accessories for the weekend. Thank you so much guys!
On the first day of the conference, I wore this Grey All-Over Tiger Print Maxi Dress ($54.50) from Torrid. I got so many compliments on this dress. You know I love maxi dresses.
And of course I love the fact that there are tigers all over the dress! It was such a unique print and I know the cut of this dress would look great on everyone. Just watch out for the length. Remember, I'm 5'6 and I'm wearing sandals and the dress was practically on the floor. But, I kind of like that. LOL.
So, what do you think? Are you loving the tiger print?

One by one the Christmas decorations were hung on the tree. The mood was light and the smiles were abundant as each ornament was gingerly removed from its tissue paper wrapping inside the ornament boxes.
Each ornament represented a memory — some vague, while others were clearly defined. Some were from my mom ... some given by friends ... some created by youthful cousins who are now in their 40s ... some chosen especially for specific events or occasions ... some given by family members ... all given with love. The parade of ornaments is always a sentimental stroll down Memory Lane, and we remember, reminisce and recall the moments that caused those ornaments to end up in our hands ... and ultimately in our Christmas ornament boxes.
Some of my favorite ornaments are those given to me by my grandmother many years ago. It was a tradition ... Grandma turned on the record player and sent Mitch Miller spinning. She'd then bring out the huge cardboard box, which contained all of our holiday decorations. While the tree branches warmed and dropped a bit, our tradition consisted of taking the newspaper-wrapped items out of the box, carefully unwrapping them and laying them carefully on the couch until it was time to hang them on the tree. The tradition wouldn't have been complete without taking out the tidy bundles of newspaper (probably the Bureau County Republican) at the bottom of the box, which contained long strands of shiny tinsel we had saved from years gone by. Go figure! We saved tinsel, but at the time, it was the thing to do ... it was part of the tradition.
Finally, it was time to decorate, but not before Grandma would gather us together and present each of us with a brand new ornament. It was such an exciting moment. We waited for it. Grandma would have already put our first initials on the bottom of each ornament, so we'd always know which one belonged to us. The "T" on the bottom of mine seemed special. Aside from differing colors sometimes, the ornaments were always the same. She handed them to us gently — like they were the most special thing in the world. As we cradled them in our hands, we examined them carefully before we hung them on the tree. It was a tradition that happened every year without fail.
Grandma gave us our last ornament many, many years ago, yet today, I always picture her looking down from heaven with a smile on her face when I take out those old ornaments from years gone by. I turn each one over and smile softly when I see the "T" on the bottom, and while I'm often forced to swallow that knot that forms in my throat and blink away the tears that automatically come to my eyes, I imagine the smile on Grandma's face when she wrote it there. Those ornaments are truly special — priceless to me, and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
But perhaps what's just as special as those ornaments are the traditions we had as a family every year ... which has resulted in a host of memories of days gone by that I hold so near and dear to my heart.
What holiday traditions do you have? In the haste and chaos of Christmas present, I worry that today's children are missing the traditions that once occupied Christmas past. And if they don't have any traditions to treasure, what will they pass on to their children?
It doesn't take that long, and clearly, there are traditions that don't cost much money, if anything at all. Traditions are important to our future because they remind us of where we've been. Hopefully, you'll take a moment to begin or carry on a tradition that could ultimately last a lifetime.

- News From the Field
- For Native American Women, Scourge of Rape, Rare Justice
For Native American Women, Scourge of Rape, Rare Justice
By TIMOTHY WILLIAMS
EMMONAK, Alaska — She was 19, a young Alaska Native woman in this icebound fishing village of 800 in the Yukon River delta, when an intruder broke into her home and raped her. The man left. Shaking, the woman called the tribal police, a force of three. It was late at night. No one answered. She left a message on the department's voice mail system. Her call was never returned. She was left to recover on her own.
"I drank a lot," she said this spring, three years later. "You get to a certain point, it hits a wall."
One in three American Indian women have been raped or have experienced an attempted rape, according to the Justice Department. Their rate of sexual assault is more than twice the national average. And no place, women's advocates say, is more dangerous than Alaska's isolated villages, where there are no roads in or out, and where people are further cut off by undependable telephone, electrical and Internet service.
The issue of sexual assaults on American Indian women has become one of the major sources of discord in the current debate between the White House and the House of Representatives over the latest reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act of 1994.
A Senate version, passed with broad bipartisan support, would grant new powers to tribal courts to prosecute non-Indians suspected of sexually assaulting their Indian spouses or domestic partners. But House Republicans, and some Senate Republicans, oppose the provision as a dangerous expansion of the tribal courts' authority, and it was excluded from the version that the House passed last Wednesday. The House and Senate are seeking to negotiate a compromise.
Here in Emmonak, the overmatched police have failed to keep statistics related to rape. A national study mandated by Congress in 2004 to examine the extent of sexual violence on tribal lands remains unfinished because, the Justice Department says, the $2 million allocation is insufficient.
But according a survey by the Alaska Federation of Natives, the rate of sexual violence in rural villages like Emmonak is as much as 12 times the national rate. And interviews with Native American women here and across the nation's tribal reservations suggest an even grimmer reality: They say few, if any, female relatives or close friends have escaped sexual violence.
"We should never have a woman come into the office saying, 'I need to learn more about Plan B for when my daughter gets raped,' " said Charon Asetoyer, a women's health advocate on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, referring to the morning-after pill. "That's what's so frightening — that it's more expected than unexpected. It has become a norm for young women."

WASHINGTON The coordinator of the Bowl Championship Series told Congress Friday that a switch to a playoff system favored by fans, President Barack Obama and some lawmakers would threaten the existence of celebrated bowl games.
Sponsorships and TV revenue that now go to bowl games would instead be spent on playoff games, meaning that it will be very difficult for any bowl, including the current BCS bowls, which are among the oldest and most established in the games history, to survive, said BCS coordinator John Swofford in prepared testimony. Certainly the twenty-nine games that are not part of the BCS would be in peril.
Swofford was appearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committees commerce, trade and consumer protection subcommittee, some of whose members back legislation aimed at prodding the BCS to switch to a playoff system.
Under the BCS, some conferences get automatic bids to participate while others do not. Conferences that get an automatic bid the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-10 and SEC get about $18 million each, far more than the non-conference schools. Swofford is also commissioner of the ACC.
Craig Thompson, commissioner of the Mountain West Commission, which does not get an automatic bid, said in prepared testimony that the current system is patently unfair.
Such economic disparities and anomalies cannot be justified and should not continue, he said. Many have said the current BCS system ensures a permanent underclass. They are right.
The MWC has proposed a playoff system and hired a Washington firm to lobby Congress for changes to the BCS, which currently features a championship game between the two top teams in the BCS standings, based on two polls and six computer ratings.
The MWC proposes, among others things, scrapping the BCS standings and creating a 12-member committee to pick which teams receive at-large bids, and to select and seed the eight teams chosen for the playoff. The BCS has previously discussed, and dismissed, the idea of using a selection committee.
The four current BCS games the Sugar, Orange, Rose and Fiesta bowls would host the four first-round playoff games under the proposal. Thompson argued that a playoff system would be a boon for those bowls, because they would help determine the national champion.
Thompson said that under the current system, teams that dont come from a conference with a guaranteed bid have no realistic chance of winning a BCS championship.
Swofford argued that criticism that the BCS guarantees berths and money to only some conferences states the situation exactly backward. Prior to the BCS, he said, the conferences that now have automatic bids were guaranteed an attractive bowl slot for its champion.
If the BCS were to disappear tomorrow, each of those conferences would return to the marketplace and obtain a similarly attractive bowl slot on its own through individual negotiation, most likely in one of the current BCS games, he said. But there would no longer be guaranteed annual bowl game pairing the top two ranked teams.
Among those participating at Fridays hearing is Texas Rep. Joe Barton, the committees top Republican, who has introduced legislation that would prevent the NCAA from labeling a game a national championship unless it culminates from a playoff system.
In an interview before the hearing, Barton called the BCS system more about cartels and revenue sharing than athletic performance. Its big money, Barton said. Were going to start looking into where the money goes.
The BCS is in its final season of a four-year deal with the Fox network. A new four-year deal with ESPN, worth $125 million per year, begins with the 2011 bowl games.
The BCS has come under attack from a range of politicians. Last November, as president-elect, Obama told 60 Minutes he would prefer an eight-team playoff system.
I dont know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this, he said. So Im going to throw my weight around a little bit.
In the Senate, Utah Republican Orrin Hatch has put the BCS on the agenda for the Judiciarys antitrust subcommittee this year, and Utahs attorney general, Mark Shurtleff, is investigating whether the BCS violates federal antitrust laws.
Fans were furious that Utah was bypassed for the national championship despite going undefeated in the regular season. The title game pitted No. 1 Florida (12-1) against No. 2 Oklahoma (12-1); Florida won 24-14 and claimed the title.

Digest — March 2004
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
The Sword and the RIB
|Two anglers in a rubber boat battle a hell-bent, behemoth billfish.
Big-game fishing can offer its participants surreal and magical moments that can also make instant legends out of fish and anglers. Long Island, New York native and avid big-game angler John P. Picone had his moment last summer as he traded blows with an almost-12-foot-long, 405-pound swordfish, a fish that would've made Zane Grey jealous. However, Picone didn't engage this beastly billfish from the comfort of a fighting chair aboard his 65-foot Viking On The Edge. Oh no. Picone fought this fish from his 13-foot RIB, Little Edge.
"I'm a regular canyon fisherman," Picone says as he tells me the story of his offshore adventure, adding that he's always looking for ways to enhance his big-game experience. Several years ago he saw a video of West Coast fishermen who were targeting 200-pound-class yellowfin tuna from RIBs because their motherships were too big to be fishing-functional. Their method involves setting the hook and letting the effort of towing the RIB tire the fish, a scaled-down version of the old-time Nantucket whalers' "sleigh ride." Picone liked the idea and borrowed it. Three years ago he bought Little Edge and fitted it out with three spreader lights, a mast with rod holders, two more rod holders forward, a GPS, a VHF, and three big batteries to keep all the gear powered up. Picone has created what is essentially a miniature battlewagon.
He says when it's time to fish, he launches Little Edge from On The Edge and attaches the two via a 150-foot tether. He also tilts the RIB's outboard to prevent fishing lines from getting tangled under Little Edge. All he keeps onboard the RIB to end a battle is a six-inch-gap gaff, which is not a lot when you're fishing a 100-fathom curve and a sizeable fish could grab your line at anytime. Picone says the first time they hooked up an 80-pound yellowfin on the inflatable, his mate accidentally dropped the fish with the gaff still in it. The tuna sounded, but Picone eventually brought the fish back to the boat. His now-frustrated mate—determined to not lose the fish again—grabbed the yellowfin by the gills and hauled it into the RIB. But when you're in a 13-footer, sometimes you can't muscle a fish—especially when the fish is almost as big as your boat.

A COMMUNITY turned out in their thousands yesterday to mourn two best friends killed in a motorway smash.
The towns of Nelson and Brierfield were brought to a standstill as grief-stricken mourners gathered to bid farewell to Mazafer Iqbal, 47 and Mohammed Iqbal, 48.
The men, who had been close friends for more than 30 years, died in the early hours of Saturday, July 26, when travelling home along the eastbound carriageway of the M65 near Burnley, when the Peugeot 106 they were in was involved in a collision with two other cars.
Services were held yesterday before the men were buried side by side at Walton Lane cemetery in Nelson.
Prior to the burials, prayers were said at two separate mosques.
At the huge Jamia Mosque Sultana in Mazafer's home town of Brierfield more than 600 mourners gathered to hear heartfelt tributes to a man described as 'popular, kindly and devoted to his family'.
At the end of the service the funeral cortege headed to Markazi Jamia Ghousi Mosque, Clayton Street, Nelson, where a similar number were attending prayers and hearing messages of condolence to Mohammed Iqbal.
He had been brought up and worked in Nelson before moving to Burnley.
The two hearses stood side by side outside for a short period outside the mosque before they led a cortege of dozens of vehicles to their final resting place across town.
Mourners included Shaffaqat Alirazaq, who had travelled from Sheffield to pay tribute to his friend.
He said: "Both men were lovely, kind and family-minded people.
"Mazafer was my brother's brother-in-law and was an extremely popular and held in the highest affection by all in the community.
"It is testimony to this to see the number of people, hundreds and hundreds, who have come out to pay their respects to these two special personalities.
"Mazafer had four children who he adored and was so proud of.
"He had a great sense of fun and was a strong personality.
"It has been painful to wait so long for this funeral service as it is custom to have funeral by sundown on the day after the death but everyone understands the reasons for the delay after the accident."
Mohammed Zaman, a retired milkman and taxi driver from Barrowford, said the two men were both a tragic loss to the community.
He added: "I knew both men since they were small children.
"They were so well-respected and would do anything for their friends and family. It is the least we can do to attend here and pay our heartfelt respects to their families."
At the time of the accident, Mazafer, who was a Liverpool FC supporter, was returning from work at a branch of Chunky Chicken in Skelmersdale, owned by his brother who also owns a restaurant of the same name in Nelson.
Mohammed Iqbal worked at Sleep Sound Beds in Accrington but was known to help out his friend in his takeaway occasionally.
The accident, which happened between junctions 9 and 10 of the M65, has led to further calls for the motorway lights to be switched back on along the entire length of the motorway.

Jose Reyes will continue to be sidelined for at least one more day as test results confirmed that he has an overactive thyroid. Doctors are taking the conservative approach by not allowing him to play until more tests are run, with results due Thursday.
Hopefully, the doctors are being overly cautious and all Reyes will need is some medication to balance his thyroid levels.

I've received a lot of help over the years from this site and the great folks on it. If you've seen some of my recent posts you'll know I bought a Large Big Green Egg the beginning of August. I've been enjoying the heck out of it, and some of you have been teasing me I might wear it out if that is possible. Me I'd say Dyal would be the likely candidate to wear out a BGE, but I digress. These last couple weeks we've been having work done on the inside of our house and I haven't been cooking new things. I have been feeding the guys working on the house lunch grilled on the Egg every day for the last two weeks. I've actually got a few of them thinking to buy an Egg after tasting the food coming of it, But I digress.
The other thing I've been doing is writing some blogs for my website related to my whole Eggsperience up until now. I wanted to record my first impressions: From why I decided to go with the Egg, to my initial impressions about the Egg & some of the Eggcessories I've purchased. I also talk about how real world experience compares to some of the myths and legends out there about the Egg. I figured I'd share the links because some of the topics I wrote about might help other folks who are trying to decide whether to get a BGE or not. I also figured some of my early experiences might help others out who might have just gotten new Eggs.
Lastly there is even a blog on Total Cost of Ownership that might interest long time Egg owners where I analyzed charcoal usage and how the Eggs stingy use of charcoal means big savings.
So here are the Big Green Egg related blog links. If you've never visited my website, Grillin' & Smookin' feel free to poke around. There are 400 plus picture entries for those of you whole like food porn and another 300 blog entries. Please leave comments or sign the Guestbook too if you are so inclined.

Johannes Gutenberg's printing press, a watershed technological advance in 1450, certainly helped accelerate literacy in Europe, and was a boon to the mission of the Catholic Church. But the press also enabled wider publication of books the Church deemed heretical during the Protestant Reformation. In 1559, Pope Paul IV ordered the first Index Librorum Prohibitorum, or Index of Prohibited Books. The index, issued 20 more times by different popes, was published for the last time in 1948.

In honor of Valentine's Day, I present to you a list of my favorite young adult fictional couples from the last 12 months. Some of these couples repeat from last year. You can review last year's list here.
Couples must be in a book that was published since February 14, 2012 which means, classic YA couples like Edward and Bella do not make the cut. Also, these are romantic pairings from books that I read, so if your favorite couple did not make the list, it probably means I have not read their book. Couples are listed in alphabetical order by the girl's first name unless there are more than one couple by an author.
The post contains slight spoilers so read at your own risk.
Alice and Cole from Alice in Zombieland
When they first lock eyes, Alice and Cole get a glimpse into the future - a future that involves a lot of kissing. Despite this premonition, it takes time for them to open up to each other and form a romantic attachment. I liked how they could see the strengths in each other.
Aura and Zachary from Shine
After two and a half books of angst and one dead but a ghost boyfriend, Aura and Zachary finally can be together. They are there for each other throughout a whole lot of conflict.
Cammie & Zach from Out of Sight, Out of Time
Even memory loss cannot keep them away from each other. Swoon at this exchange.
"Zach," I said as I lay there "Where did you go? When you were looking for me?"
I shifted in his arms, looked into his eyes.
"Crazy." His voice was a whisper against my skin. "I went crazy."
Kat and Hale from Perfect Scoundrels
Kat gets caught while trying to steal a Monet and steals Hale away instead. They started as friends, and their relationship developed into more.
Clary and Jace from City of Lost Souls
They have managed to stay a strong couple despite possibly sibling status and possession. They are stronger together.
Ismae and Duval in Grave Mercy
As you might be able to tell from this list and last year's list, I am a fan of couples whose love develops over time and is not insta love. Ismae and Duval are initially wary of each other, but as they are forced to work together, they are drawn to each other's true character.
Katy and Daemon from Opal
Their relationship started with attraction/hate as his being an alien kept her at arm's length. Although they do end up kissing a lot and then pulling away from each other, as the series progresses, they get to know each other and fall in love.
Pippin and Matty from "Gentleman Send Phantoms" in Foretold
Pippin and Matty played together as children. When it is that time of year when men send out their phantoms to woo prospective brides, their friendship turns into something more.
Samantha and Jase from My Life Next Door
Samantha has spent years gazing over at the chaotic family next door. One night, Jase makes the first move and talks to her. Soon, they spend more and more time together. Samantha falls for his family life just as much as she falls in love with him.
Sydney and Adrian from The Indigo Spell
Sydney is an alchemist trained from an early age to think that vampires are evil and unnatural. Adrian is a wounded, party boy vampire who might go crazy because of his spirit powers. Although they would seem like two people who would not even be friends, they balance each other out. Their relationship starts slowly and builds to epic levels in the latest book.
Tris and Four from Insurgent
Another couple that is stronger together than apart.
Violet and Jay from The Last Echo
Childhood friends became romantically involved in the first book in this series. She has the ability to find the echoes of dead bodies, and Jay supports her as she deals with this strange ability. Even the edition of another guy in the series cannot keep them apart (so far).

Kovacevic: NHL deflects its own problems
At 2:03 p.m. Thursday, the NHL cemented its status as professional sports' most laughably operated league by wiping out the first two weeks of the 2012-13 season.
I'd call it a joke, except it's about as funny as a Scott Hartnell smirk.
Ask the layman employees and ancillary businesses that will lose untold money.
Ask the most obsessive fans in North America.
Ask the players who have demonstrated that all they want is to get back to work.
Matt Niskanen, one of the Penguins training regularly at Southpointe, stepped off the ice Thursday morning and expressed that quite nicely: "Camp is supposed to be ending right now. It's really starting to hit us. It's just boring. So boring. We just want to play hockey."
With one click of Gary Bettman's send button, the NHL wiped out all 82 games set to be played Oct. 11-24, maybe for good. That included, of course, the Penguins' home opener next Friday against the Islanders.
Also wiped out was any urgency to get a deal done soon that could save a full season.
And for what?
To see who will pounce on the last 1-2 percent from the sport's all-time high revenue pool of $3.3 billion?
To see which of Bettman or Donald Fehr has the bigger ego?
It's probably a little bit of both, actually, but I say it's way more of this: The NHL's richest teams must find a way to share with those at the bottom.
And, yes, that includes the Penguins, who have climbed the league's financial ladder since moving to Consol Energy Center.
The salary cap, instituted with the 2004 lockout, was a wonderful thing. Payrolls and salaries were reined in. The teams in Canada were healthy again. And local fans can thank the cap — and Bettman and the owners' resolve — for their half a decade of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
Trouble is, that cap came with a floor. There was now a minimum payroll, too. Sounded great in theory, but the reality was that poorer teams such as the Panthers, Predators and Coyotes lost money in trying to meet that figure. Because no meaningful revenue sharing was put in place, the cap simply allowed the richer teams — Rangers, Red Wings, Leafs, Bruins, Flyers — to keep more profit, with little of that money trickling down.
Incredibly, that's what the owners want the players to fix.
I know, right?
Despite this, the players seem open to concessions. They now take 57 percent of all revenue, higher than any other sport, and the owners' initial proposal was a draconian cut to 43 percent. The players came back with 53.4 percent. It's at least a start.
But the revenue sharing?
Fehr and the union suggested expanding it but got nowhere. Some spun it as Fehr seeking to soften the cap with an NBA-style luxury tax. That would be awful for the game, I agree. But this proposal was more aligned with Major League Baseball's revenue sharing, where the top half of revenue-generating teams passes along varying percentages of their revenues to the bottom half.
That practice alone doesn't solve baseball's imbalance, to say the least, but it would for the NHL given the hard cap.
Forget it, though.
The NHL's richer teams have no wish to part with their new profits. Consider that Bettman's staunchest allies right now are Jeremy Jacobs in Boston and Ed Snider in Philadelphia. Their motivation is obvious. Blaming Bettman is missing the point. He's in no position to reach into these gentlemen's wallets.
If the NHL were serious about addressing long-term issues, it would expand revenue sharing and it would move the Panthers and the subsidized Coyotes to the pending new arenas in Seattle and Quebec.
But that won't happen, either, so he'll keep laying it on the players.
And the layman employees.
And you.
And the league will wait as long as necessary to get exactly what it wants without budging.
Know what bugs me the most about this process?
In the 20 days since the NHL lockout began, there have been exactly four days of talks. And three of those didn't involve finances, the core issue. The Penguins' players insist that Fehr and the union were open to talking on all 20 of those days.
I emailed Bill Daly, the NHL's deputy commissioner, to ask why the league wouldn't at least talk before canceling games.
Daly's reply: "The union is not prepared to talk about the most meaningful issues, relating to a fair division of league-wide revenues and other system-related matters. Until we can make progress in those areas, we will remain a long way from getting a deal done."
So there's a pre-condition to returning to the table?
Anyone up for curling?

AN up-and-coming junior tennis player from Redditch has been highlighted as one of the brightest talents in the country.
Alexander Maggs, 12, has been included in the LTA'sAegon FutureStars programme, which recognises and supports some of the best juniors in the country.
The emerging young star, who plays for Redditch's HDA Tennis Club, has earned their place on the programme following a successful year on court and will now receive added support from the LTA.
The talented youngster has been included as part of the 2014 intake of players and will be part of a group of 424 top juniors from around the country who all receive varying levels of funding and support from the LTA.
Leon Smith, LTA head of men's tennis, said: "We are committed to supporting and identifying our most talented players, and the Aegon FutureStars programme is central to this process for young players who are starting out in the game.
"There's obviously a long way to go for these players.
It's a long journey for any player hoping to make an impact on the game, but we hope that with the right support these players are given the best possible chance of reaching their full potential."
Maggs won his age group for the second year in a row at the County Closed Championship in September.
David MacMillan, chief marketing officer at Aegon, added: "We're delighted to continue supporting the LTA in identifying and developing young players across the country.
"As a business, we believe that preparation is key, and the Aegon FutureStars programme plays an essential role in enabling young people to fulfil their potential."

My grandfather was a farmer. By today's standards, he was a very small farmer — only 100 acres or so and the typical livestock which many farmers owned years ago — cattle, hogs, ponies, sheep, chickens. We also had a berry patch, an orchard, a huge garden, etc., and all the out buildings farmers needed — a corn crib, barn complete with a haymow, a granary, a windmill/pump and structures for the animals to get out of the weather.
It was a family farm, and every member of the family helped to work it. Each one of us had farm chores to do every day of our lives. While we often didn't like to do those chores, we didn't question it either. It was just a part of being a farm family, and quite frankly, we didn't know there were families who didn't have a daily agenda of chores to do. Likewise, as kids, we would have never ever dreamed of asking to be paid for chores; even at that young age, we knew our chores around the farm were just an element of being part of the family unit. They were good lessons.
As an adult, I reflect on that farm with cherished memories. I learned so much — not just about farm life and animals but also about values, morals, hard work, people and love. There were plenty of opportunities to learn, and my family had an uncanny ability to turn everyday life into a lesson. I am forever grateful.
And so it was the other day when I found myself behind a farmer driving a large piece of machinery (I'm ashamed to say I don't even know what that piece of machinery was) down the road. He was going fairly slow. No. He was going really slow, and the clock in my vehicle was telling me I was probably going to be late to work ... again. I wanted to pass this mammoth piece of equipment, but the hills between Sheffield and Wyanet were relentless. Somewhat annoyed, I resigned myself to being late, settled back in the seat and inched along Routes 6/34 like the farmer before me was.
They say most everything happens for a reason, and that morning jaunt with the farmer before me was no exception. Before long, I found myself thinking about many memories of long ago — days from yesteryear when I spent every day attached to a farm and the operations that ensued there. They were days filled with long hours, sweaty moments, good times and not-so-great times, which brought lessons of life and death, marvels and normalcy, laughter and tears. While money was always tight and our budget was inevitably lean, it was a good life, a wholesome one, and to this day, I'm proud to have been one of those farm kids.
I found myself studying the farmer in the cab of this machinery trudging slowly along the pavement, and I couldn't help but think of my grandfather. I remember him most in the barnyard, the fields, the corncrib, wearing a straw-brimmed hat, a pair of overalls with a couple of frayed holes in the knees, calloused hands and dirt under his nails. He was truly a man of the earth — simple, proud, unassuming — traits I usually assign to all farmers; whether it's true or not, I don't know. Grandpa loved the land, and as I've grown older, it's one of the things I respect most about him.
Finally ... the turn signal was activated, and while there was no hope for me to get to work on time, I was a bit sad to see my morning farmer leave my path. Late or not, I needed that farmer on that day. While he didn't realize it, he made me slow down and remember a place in time when life was different, simple and not so hurried.
It's harvest time in Putnam County. Be safe and watch out for our local farmers. Better yet ... appreciate them, give 'em a wave, and if you have the opportunity to get behind them on your way to work, don't get in such a hurry. It all happens for a reason.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Although I'm not a big fan of eating at "chain" restaurants, if I had to eat at one, it would probably be owned by Darden ( DRI). My first choice might be an Olive Garden Restaurant and my second would probably be Wildfish Seafood Grille.As an investor who has never owned shares of Darden, it's amazing that, off the top of my bald head, I know of two of its brand-name chains. Others include Red Lobster, LongHorn Steakhouse, The Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, and Eddie V's Prime Seafood. This incubator of restaurant chains has been around a good while, and has grown tremendously. As of December 20, 2012, DRI owned and operated approximately 2,000 restaurants. The company was founded in 1968 and is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. On Friday, March 22, before the markets opened, DRI announced that third-quarter net income had dropped 18%. Part of the reasons given had to do with reduced sales at its Red Lobster chain. But the good news was that the EPS performance still beat Wall Street's expectations. Pass the melted butter, please, and put on a bib! Let's go straight to the juicy part: Dividends. Darden's board declared a quarterly dividend of 50 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on May 1 to shareholders of record on April 10. At the current share price of around $49.50, this makes for an annual yield-to-price of 4.04%. When you consider that discount box-store "king" Wal-Mart's ( WMT) stock has a current yield-to-price of only 2.54%, you can see the DRI dividend advantage. Will DRI be able to sustain this generous dividend? As of the last quarter, the payout ratio was a tad on the high side, at 50%, according to Yahoo! Finance. In the quarter ahead, with the outlook being for improving sales profits and better EPS, my answer to the dividend question is "yes." Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link actively manage a Real Money portfolio for Jim's charitable trust- enjoy advance notice of every trade, full access to the portfolio, and deep coverage of the latest economic events and market movements. The share price is well below the 52-week high of $57.93. Analysts' one-year price target is pending, until they've had a chance to digest the earnings report and conference call. If DRI can control its capital expenditures and operating costs, the CEO said today that a dividend increase is in the offing. If DRI increases its dividend between now and the end of the current quarter, it wouldn't surprise me to see the 12-month price target jump to $58 or higher.

Withdrawals from Traditional IRAs
In these challenging economic times, you may be considering taking a withdrawal from your traditional IRA. While you're allowed to withdraw funds from your IRAs at any time, for any reason, the question is, should you?
Why you should think twice
Financial professionals generally recommend using your retirement funds for one purpose only--retirement. Why? Because frequent dips into your retirement funds will reduce your ultimate nest egg. Plus, there will be less money available to take advantage of the twin benefits of tax deferral and any compound earnings. Depleting your retirement funds too soon can create a dire situation in your later years.
And then there are taxes. If you've made only deductible contributions to your traditional IRA, then all the funds in your account are subject to federal income tax when you withdraw them. They may also be subject to state income tax. If you've made any nondeductible (after-tax) contributions to your IRA, then each withdrawal you make will consist of a pro-rata mix of taxable (your deductible contributions and any earnings in your account) and nontaxable (your nondeductible contributions) dollars.
All your traditional IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs) are treated as a single IRA when you calculate the taxable portion of a withdrawal. So you can't just transfer all your nondeductible contributions into a separate IRA, and then withdraw those funds tax free. And, if you're not yet age 59½, the taxable portion of your withdrawal may be subject to a 10% federal early distribution tax (your state may also apply a penalty tax).
10% early distribution penalty
To discourage early withdrawals from IRAs, federal law imposes a 10% tax on taxable distributions from IRAs prior to age 59½. Not all distributions before age 59½ are subject to this penalty, however. Here are the most important exceptions:
- Distributions due to a qualifying disability
- Distributions to your beneficiary after your death
- Distributions up to the amount of your tax-deductible medical expenses
- Qualified reservist distributions
- Distributions to pay first-time homebuyer expenses (up to $10,000 lifetime)
- Distributions to pay qualified higher education expenses
- Certain distributions while you're unemployed, up to the amount you paid for health insurance premiums
- Amounts levied by the IRS
- Distributions that qualify as a series of substantially equal periodic payments (SEPPs)
The SEPP exception to the early distribution penalty
The SEPP exception allows you to withdraw funds from your IRA for any reason, while avoiding the 10% penalty tax. But the rules are complex, and this option is not for everyone. SEPPs are amounts you withdraw from your IRA over your lifetime (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancy) of you and your beneficiary. You can take advantage of the SEPP exception at any age.
To avoid the 10% penalty, you must calculate your lifetime payments using one of three IRS-approved distribution methods and take at least one distribution annually. If you have more than one IRA, you can take SEPPs from just one of your IRAs or you can aggregate two or more of your IRAs and calculate the SEPPs from the total balance. You can also use tax-free rollovers to ensure that the IRA(s) that will be the source of your periodic payments contain the exact amount necessary to generate the payment amount you want based on the IRS formulas.
Even though SEPPs are initially determined based on lifetime payments, you can change--or even stop--the payments after five years, or after you reach age 59½, whichever is later. For example, you could start taking SEPPs from your IRA at age 50, without penalty, and then, if you no longer need the funds, reduce the payments (or stop them altogether) once you reach age 59½.
Short-term loan
If you only need funds for a short period of time you may be able to give yourself a short-term loan by withdrawing funds from your IRA, and then rolling those dollars back into the same or a different IRA within 60 days. However, watch the deadline carefully, because if you miss it, your short-term loan will instead be treated as a taxable distribution. And keep in mind that you can only make one rollover from a particular IRA to any other IRA in any 12-month period. A violation of this rule can also have serious adverse tax consequences.
