Three types of fish contain the highest amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. A delicious omega-3 treat, salmon tops the list. Herring and tuna also contain high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Some types of trout are also very high in omega-3. However, tilapia and catfish have very low amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. What's more, catfish are loaded with toxins, since these fish subsist on waste.
The omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon benefit the body in many ways. They improve heart, brain and blood vessel health. In addition, they reduce inflammation and lubricate joints. The brain needs fat in order to thrive, and omega-3 fatty acids feed the brain. Eating salmon can help reduce LDL cholesterol while boosting HDL levels. Omega fats have a protective effect, making this fatty acid a must-have nutrient in your diet.
There are several different types of salmon, among them chinook, chum, kokanee, sockeye and coho.
If you tasted all the types of salmon, you would notice different textures and mild differences in taste.
All types of salmon contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. The main thing to keep in mind when eating a salmon is how it was raised and where the fish came from. Find out if your salmon was farm-raised or caught from the wild. Some farm-raised salmon have hormones or dyes added. All Alaskan salmon is wild caught, because salmon farming is illegal in Alaska. If you want to buy Alaskan salmon, look for the term "Wild Alaskan." Some sellers label their salmon Alaskan as a marketing gimmick. These fish were originally caught in Alaska but then moved to a farm in Washington state, Canada or another area to be bred and farmed. Typically, sockeye salmon is caught in Alaskan waters.
Atlantic salmon is sockeye caught near the Atlantic. However, just like Alaskan salmon, Atlantic can also be farmed. The fish are caught in the Atlantic and taken to another area for breeding. Look for "Wild Caught Atlantic." Or, if you want to avoid buying salmon laced with hormones, you can also go the health food store and ask for organic salmon. Some farms raise salmon without hormones or added dyes.
Chinook come from the Pacific Ocean. Chum are usually found in waters near Japan, Korea and other island areas. Kokanee are usually found in lakes, but sometimes they can also be found in the Pacific Ocean. Sockeye is found near Alaska, Japan, rivers in Siberia and other small island areas.
To get the most benefits from the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, eat the fish two to three times per week. On the days you do not eat salmon, supplement your diet with salmon oil. Salmon oil can be found in most health food stores. You could also eat salmon every night, but you might get tired of that, so be sure to take supplements.
Some types of salmon are contaminated with mercury. Most stores test for this, so be sure to ask where your salmon comes from and if it has been tested for toxins. Mercury is a toxin which kills brain cells. Some salmon may have small traces of mercury that are considered safe; however, there are many polluted waters, so where you get your salmon matters. Wild-caught Alaskan and Atlantic salmon are generally safe. In addition, organic farm-raised salmon is usually safe as well.

You can now get a taste of fall at the coffee chain.
It's September—and you know what that means: Pumpkin everything. Today, you can kick off the fall season (though, let's remember it's not quite fall yet) by picking up a Pumpkin Spice Latte at your local Starbucks.
The coffee chain announced the arrival of its seasonal staple, the "PSL," in a press release Thursday morning. This is the 13th consecutive year the beverage, which is a blend of pumpkin spice sauce with real pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and nutmeg that's combined with espresso and steamed milk, has been offered. (Since the temperature is still spiking in most of the country, let it be known that you can get the drink over ice or as a frappuccino, too.) Though the official launch isn't until September 6, customers can order the drink beginning today.
And this year, there's another special treat to look forward to. Starbucks is adding a Chile Mocha drink to its menu. This beverage is made with espresso and steamed milk that's infused with cocoa and cinnamon powder, and then finished with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ancho and cayenne pepper, cinnamon, paprika, sugar, and a hint of sea salt. Order the drink as a frappuccino or a hot chocolate beginning September 6.
Rather make your own coffee in the morning? Try our all-natural homemade version of the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Chocolate Straws
If first attempts don't succeed, you can remelt the chocolate and try again. Use these to garnish any dessert that calls for a touch of elegance.
- Servings: 12
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December/January 1998/1999
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
Pour melted chocolate onto the back of a clean 11-by-17-inch baking pan. Using an offset spatula, spread the chocolate into a thin even rectangle, covering the pan.
Place pan in refrigerator to chill until chocolate sets up slightly, about 15 minutes. Holding the pan vertically, score the chocolate down the middle with a metal bench scraper. Starting on the left side and holding scraper at a 45 degrees.angle, gently push away from you for about 2 1/2 inches, forming a curl or straw. Repeat making straws down side of pan and on the other side, for a total of twelve straws. If the chocolate gets too soft, chill 5 minutes. Store straws between parchment layers in an airtight container, refrigerated, until ready to use.

Steroids, inhalers and oxygen tanks, oh my!
My freshman and sophomore years of high school were asthmatically traumatic, just in the "trying to fit in," social side of things. I played on the varsity basketball team, but my dad and our family physician had decided that I needed to have an oxygen tank on the sidelines to help me in an emergency. What made things worse was that I had to use it!
Luckily, when I was 15, we found a new doctor in Oklahoma City, Dr. Martha Tarpay. She has been a savior of sorts for me, and now, for my oldest daughter. She started me on the daily, aggressive regiment of bronchodilators, steroids, oral meds, and rescue inhalers. Eventually, by the time I was a senior in high school, I only needed to use my rescue inhaler right before a game. I also had it (that small little thing) on the sidelines with me for emergencies.
Fortunately, I haven't been forced to use prednisone as frequently as some. Our pediatrician and Dr. Tarpay will both prescribe it for us, but in small doses, for short periods of time – including the weaning process. To tell you the truth, I don't like how it makes my heart race, or my youngest daughter run! She develops what my husband has termed, "roid rage", and begins to run or talk incessantly. Sometimes, she'll grab one of us and just shake. It's frightening and funny at the same time. And, she's one month shy of 3-years-old, so she has no idea what's going on.

SONARPHONE WiFi Fish Finder Changes Sport
May 02, 2014 --
MINNEAPOLIS, May 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Vexilar Inc, a marine electronics company for over 50 years is now poised to make a dramaticleap forward in marine sonar with the launch of their newest product:SONARPHONE
As the name implies, SONARPHONE turns your smart phone or tablet into a fully functional sonar system that will rival any high end sonar on the market today. Using Patented WiFi signal technology to transmit to smart phones or tablets. You don't need cell phone coverage to use it, the SONARPHONE will work anywhere in the world. The SONARPHONE creates its own WiFi hotspot and you can share your signal with as many people as you wish, the software App is downloaded for free from the App store and works with both Android and IOS systems.
"Please don't compare this technology to radio frequency or Blue Tooth sonar technology. These can only deliver simple sonar functions and simply are not capable of being used by serious fisherman or boaters, as they are limited to sending small amounts of data with 1/3 the range of the SONARPHONE," stated Tom Zenanko, Project Manager from Vexilar. "To be clear, this is not a WiFi repeater that requires you buy a fully functional sonar system and then sends just an image of the display for you to watch on your tablet. SONARPHONE is a stand alone, fully functional, touch screen, high definition sonar system that will rival any sonar display on the market at a fraction of the price. In the sonar world, little has changed in the last 30 years. The type of display offered by sonar companies has been the driving force in price. For sure the big names in Sonar will not want to hear about SONARPHONE since they are married to their own types of display technology. Current sonar system displays are ten years behind the display technology used every day at home and at work. The type of sonar display you have greatly controls the price you pay, and if you want the newest touch screen sonar systems, better be ready to spend a fortune Since most people on the planet already own a smart phone or touch screen tablet, you can now turn it into a truly high definition sonar system starting as low as $129.99."
SONARPHONE will be offering limited world-wide distribution in 17 languages in 2014 and is available in three different configurations: The T-POD, a completely portable floating WiFi transmitter that can be cast from shore or pulled behind your canoe. The T-BOX options that come in either a portable system with a carry case to hold the battery and suction cup mount to put on your boat. Then you have the more permanent version that mounts in your boat and uses your on board, 12 volt battery for unlimited run time. All SONARPHONES come with a neoprene arm band so you will have easy and safe access to your phone display at all times.

What's in the air over there?
That said, from watching the video it looks like Georgetown acted completely in self defense
I agree, looks like the Chinese were being the thugs here. G-Town completely in self defense.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Holy *****! I swear it looks like it there was a LOT of players on the Chinese team. They seemed to have had 3-4 players jumping on one player at a time.
It was definitely self-defense....no doubt about it. They had 4 people stomping on first individual alone.
All I saw was one police officer in that video.
Showed the video to a chinese postdoc friend of mine and the guy who looks like a police officer is actually a secruity guard and he also said that some chinese basketball teams have been fighting more than years past. He sort of blames the lack of penalities handed out in basketball altercations.
Then again and given the uniforms, she can have mistaken the toy cops as real police officers.A woman sitting in the Georgetown fan section directly behind the bench implored Chinese police to try to calm the situation, yelling about the risk of injuries to bystanders. Chinese authorities made no attempt to break up any of the fights, and the three officials working the game could not be seen as the melee erupted.

That's a tough spot if you are on that Georgetown team. You want to compete and the competitive fire is burning hot, yet you have been briefed by US Officials, your coaches, your parents, teachers, etc., that this is a "good will" tour, and you are probably trying as best as possible to be on your best behavior. Meanwhile the Chinese players see matching up against a US team - college or otherwise - as a way to measure themselves. They have the same competitive fire, but probably have not been equally schooled by their respective leaders on the importance of behaving themselves.
This shows why the NBA rule about leaving the bench is such an important rule for the safety of the players and the legitimacy of the league. The Chinese players had no instinct to stay on the bench in the melee.
That's a pretty scary situation if you think about it. Anybody can attack you, and the poice will look the other way. As a player, I would refuse to play the remaining games.
EDIT: AT the 55 second mark, you can see a "police officer" walking away from the melee.

in the article, it says:
"The melee was the latest instance of on-court fighting by China, whose players have been fined tens of thousands of dollars by the world and Asian federations for scrapping with opponents."
so apparently there's been a ugly history with these chinese players, its unfortunate that the GU players had to be involved because i could see ppl making assumptions without knowing the back story
Probably a scheme by Stern to discourage NBA players from signing with Chinese teams.
12/27/2005 at Spurs - SamBear - 3
1/2/2008 vs Memphis - SamBear - 19
4/9/2014 - Luis Scola also recorded a season high with 24 points and Evan Turner added 23 for Indiana.
They called the game at a 64-64 tie. China'd shot 57 FTs. You can see why tempers might be flaring.
57!??? by then, i'd be aiming my punches towards the refs
Wild brawl ends Georgetowns exhibition game in China early
By Jeff Eisenberg
At the same time as Vice President Joe Biden is visiting Beijing in hopes of improving relations between the U.S. and China, another group on a goodwill trip from Washington encountered an unexpected diplomatic hiccup.
Georgetown had to leave the court during the fourth quarter of its exhibition game against the Bayi Rockets on Thursday night in Beijing after both benches emptied and a wild brawl erupted between the two teams. None of the Hoyas were seriously injured despite trading punches with the opposing players and having to dodge chairs thrown onto the court and water bottles hurled from the stands.
The best account of what led to the melee comes from the Washington Post's Gene Wang, apparently the lone U.S. reporter in attendance.
Wang wrote that the game was tense from the outset and had to be stopped earlier after two players exchanged words. At one point, a Rockets player even berated John Thompson III as the Georgetown coach yelled instructions to his players.
The hard fouls and constant bickering eventually devolved into bedlam when Bayi big man Hu Ke was called for a foul against Georgetown guard Jason Clark. The senior made it clear he did not appreciate the hard foul, sparking the initial exchange of shoves that led players from both benches to run onto the court in defense of their teammates.
Video of the melee is available at the bottom of this post and this photo gallery from Sina.com also offers several more scenes of the chaos. It was bad enough that Georgetown coach John Thompson III yanked his team off the court, made a hasty exit out of the arena with the score tied at 64 and then issued the following statement about the incident soon afterward.
"Tonight, two great teams played a very competitive game that unfortunately ended after heated exchanges with both teams," Thompson said. "We sincerely regret that this situation occurred. We remain grateful for the opportunity our student athletes are having to engage in a sport they love here in China, while strengthening their understanding of a nation we respect and admire at Georgetown University."
It's unclear whether Georgetown will continue its 11-day exhibition tour of China or not, but the Hoyas certainly have had a memorable trip so far.
Wednesday's impromptu visit with Biden once seemed like the most exciting part of the trip. Now that's a distant second.

"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
That was absolutely pathetic. I understand things get heated, but leave the chairs and fans out of it. Not to mention kicking the crap out of the kid on the floor.
Ya that Chinese team is pathetic... I have read a few stories now of them fighting on-court with their opponents..
"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
I heard that they have had several incidents as well.
Ive heard from a couple of people (Kemo, PurduePacer) that they've had multiple incidents.
Ya I heard from my uncle twice removed, that his ex girlfriend's kid's highschool teacher's son had a friend whos dad's brother's wife dated a guy before they got married, who has seen it first hand...
"They want to be famous. We want to be champions. They want to be rappers and backup dancers. We want to play football." - T.J. Ward, Denver Broncos
Anybody think that chinese team has had problems before?
Is the guy in the middle even on the team? No uniform...
The foul differential was pretty bad and another case of refs letting things get out of hand.

Cape May County is about to go a little bit country - again. On the heels of a successful Kenny Chesney concert on the Wildwood beach, the Jersey Shore Pops will be turning to Dixieland and presenting a country performance of their own.
Their upcoming concert, "Hooked on Country," takes place Saturday, July 7, at the Paul W. Schmidtchen Theater, located at Lower Cape Regional High School in Lower Township.
"Hooked on Country" stars clarinetist Paul Butler, and features a celebration of country and Dixie music.
The show is part of the Jersey Shore Pop's effort to expand their concert series this year - both with more variety and a second location. Five of the eight concerts in the series will be at the Pops' home theater, The Middle Township Performing Arts Center, located in Cape May Court House. Their first show of the season, "The Music and Life of Frank Sinatra," took place there on Saturday, June 30.
The three other concerts - including "Hooked on Country" - will be held at the Paul W. Schmidtchen Theater.
"We're trying to extend our base and bring it into the lower part of the county," says Linda Gentile, artistic director for the Jersey Shore Pops. "The last two years, we've only been in Middle Township."
The Schmidtchen theater also allows the Pops to include expanded horn and guitar sections. It is something Gentile says she has wanted to do since forming the Pops three years ago.
"At the new venue, we decided to expand the big band section," Gentile says. "So there are three shows there that have a big band section to include extra horn players and guitar players. It's going to be a different feel. The shows in the Middle Township PAC will be more string-based."
"We have a lot of country fans here - as evidenced by the recent Kenny Chesney concert (in Wildwood)," Gentile says.
The Paul Schmidtchen Theater, Gentile says, has been underutilized, and the new location offers a great experience for an orchestra audience.
"It's actually a perfect theater for an orchestra, because it's wider and not as deep, so more seats have a better view," Gentile says.
While the area has its share of orchestras - including the Ocean City Pops, the Bay-Atlantic Symphony and the Philly Pops - Gentile has worked to create a unique experience. Prior to becoming the Jersey Shore Pops, then-Peacemaker Productions produced concerts and music education assemblies in performing arts centers and schools throughout the United States.
But Gentile wanted to create a sort of home base for Jersey-bred musicians and talent.
"We wanted to give professional musicians from New Jersey an opportunity to perform in their community," Gentile says. "Our goal is to keep this New Jersey."
"We started in 2009 with a short season, to test the waters to see if there is room for another orchestra," Gentile says. "And there was, because a lot of people from the beach towns - Wildwood, Cape May - prefer not driving as far to a venue."
The proof, Gentile says, is in the season ticket holders, which have steadily increased year after year.
"Our goal is to have 500 season ticket holders by next year," Gentile says. "The core of an orchestra - you have to have a supportive season ticket base to sustain it."
To help the Jersey Shore Pops stand out, Gentile focuses on enhanced light and sound production, creating what she hopes is a spectacle for the audience as they listen to live music.
"Our orchestra is different, because we focus on more production," Gentile says. "We're taking elements of rock and country and using them in our orchestra. So it's not a classical orchestra. We want the pop experience of the show - it's quite an expensive thing to do, video projection. But the people that are in the balcony get to have a much better experience. It makes a huge difference for them."
Gentile, who performs as a headliner on cruise ships most of the year, typically hires guest artists who she performs with or gets to see perform live. When not performing herself, Gentile, a Petersburg resident, writes many of the Jersey Shore Pops arrangements.
"We really try and create original arrangements that haven't been done before," she says. "It's really rewarding. It's really fun. It's creating something, and then you get to see the final product on stage."

When the Nissan Leaf appeared in 2010, it was the first all-electric automobile that could seat five people and carry a moderate load of cargo. It was a fully functioning daily car with a hatchback, a complete sound system, electronic communications capability, and power accessories.
Just three years later, the 2013 model retains the same basic look, but further upgrades have been added in the SV and SL trim levels. Among these is a faster onboard charger that can have the Leaf ready to roll again in about four hours.

The effects of Hurricane Bertha ravaged a country fair, demolishing gazebos and leaving a powerful steam engine stuck on sodden ground.
Savage wind and rain crashed on Ashford's Willesborough Windmill annual country craft and heritage fair this morning.
Five gazebos were wrecked by the gale force gusts.
John White, of organisers Friends of Willesborough Windmill, said: "The wind lifted the sheeting of the gazebos even though they were nailed down. Five were knocked over and wrecked."
The century-old Burrell engine, brought to the event for display, couldn't climb a slope because the grass was so wet.
Volunteers unhooked its trailer so it could gradually reverse back down. Mesh was also placed under the wheels to give them more grip.
Mr White said; "It was slipping on the grass, like a car on snow. It couldn't move forward at all. The driver was in that situation for a quarter of an hour."
The weather was so severe that stallholders packed up before the event was halfway finished.
Mr White's wife Pat, also from FWW,, said: "This was another event ruined because of of Hurricane Bertha.
"The weather was totally extreme. The rain was coming down horizonally.
"We've now offered stallholders free pitches for next years' event.
"There is nothing you can do about the weather."
Hurricane Bertha had hit the Caribbean on Monday last week before dissipating over the Atlantic.
But its stormy remnants reached Britain on early today, causing chaos in several parts of the country.
Kent got its share with flooding in places such as Sittingbourne.
The engine that got into trouble at Willesborough was a steam traction engine, the type used for tasks such as road rolling, harvesting and threshing.

Group 18 Gate 1 2013
Gate 1 is the planning stage for our project. We will be assessing the project as a whole, our products, and our group. Included in this page is a project management section including a work proposal and management proposal, as well as an overview of our product archaeology. This product archaeology will include a detailed description of our preparation and initial assessment of our products.
Product Management
The product management section of Gate 1 includes the work proposal, an overview of our plan to dissect and analyze our products, as well as the management proposal, a summary of how we plan to manage our work as a group.
Work Proposal
The work proposal section of Gate 1 will begin with a detailed approach for assembly and disassembly of the reels and include a basic overview of our group members including any skills or shortcomings we have.
Approach for Disassembly/Assembly
Dissassembly and assembly will take place at our weekly meetings. Because of the small size of our products, and the added challenge of having two products, dissection will be a very intensive process. However, since the reels are small and require relatively simple tools, we have a lot of flexibility in where we can work. We estimate that each reel will take at least 2 hours to fully dissect, with the more complicated Laguna possibly taking up to 4 hours.
Necessary Tools
- Phillip's Head Screwdriver
- Necessary for taking apart case and other components
- May also need Flathead for internal parts
- May require several different sizes for internal parts
- Needle-nose Pliers
- Necessary for handling small internal components
- Something for managing components
- Magnetized dish
- Small, segmented cases
Challenges Identified
- Size of reels and internal components
- Conducting dissasembly in tight spaces may prove problematic
- Keeping track of small parts will be difficult
- Complexity of gear trains
- Gears must be removed and added in a specific order
- Keeping track of which gear goes where will require extreme care

Management Proposal
The management proposal contains all of the information relevant to how we will manage our group for the duration of the project.
Meeting Plan
Our group will meet once a week on Wednesdays following MAE 277 lecture at 5:00. Meeting will last for 1 to 2 hours based on what needs to get done. Meetings begin immediately following lecture in Knox with an informal discussion of goals for that days meeting. We will then proceed to another location based on the needs for that meeting. For the dissection portion of the product, the bulk of our meetings will be conducted in one of our dorm rooms,depending on available space and tools.
Communication Plan
The majority of communication will take place through email, although we also have each other's cell phone numbers if something urgent comes up. Management and discussion of any document being worked on by any or all members of the group will utilize Google Drive and Google Docs.
Group Timeline
Included here is a tentative timeline for our group from now until the submission of Gate 2.
- Monday, October 7
- Due date for Gate 1
- Wednesday, October 9
- First dissection meeting
- Wednesday, October 16
- Second dissection meeting

Product Archaeology
For the archaeology portion of Gate 1, we will complete a thorough analysis of the reels without doing anything not included in the normal use of the reel. This means we are not allowed to dissect the reel or consult any technical document outside of included instructions. By doing this, we will familiarize ourselves with the reels and gather all of the information relevant to dissection.
Development Profile
The first documented use of a fishing reel is a Chinese painting from 1195AD. Variations of fishing reels appear in European literature around 1600-1700AD, but it is not until the 1800s that reels were used for anything other than just storing line. The first multiplying fishing reels were baitcasting reels developed by Kentucky native George Snyder.
Economic and Global Concerns at Time of Development
The earliest Chinese fishing reels were nothing more than a wheel attached to a pole and were hand-made by the fishermen themselves, not intended to be sold for profit. These simple reels were well-suited for fishing for sustenance in lakes and rivers. It was not until the Snyder reels were developed in the 1820s that a commercial market began to develop around fishing reels. Snyder's reels became essential equipment for explorers and outdoorsmen in America as well as commercial fishermen.
Regions Targeted for Sales
Fishing reels are unique in that some variation of them are used in almost every corner of the world. There is no one "region" targeted for spinning reel sales, as fishing exists anywhere that there is water. Just looking at the raw numbers, China has the largest fishing market in the world, but much of that is in commercial fishing, mostly with nets and not reels. The United States is one of the largest markets in terms of sport fishing, but someone wanting to sell reels should not limit the scope of their market to any one region.
Intended Impact on Consumer and Society
When they were first invented, fishing reels allowed people who fished for sustenance to greatly increase their consumption of fish, which in turn allowed them to sell excess fish. Nowadays, spinning reels can still have the same effect in developing markets. In places where people have few resources and mush fish for food, using reels can allow them to increase their quality of life by increasing their fish intake. In well-established markets, spinning reels are limited to leisure fisherman and small-scale commercial fisherman. Although not many people in markets such as the United States need to fish for food, some people do rely on profits from fishing to survive.
Usage Profile
Intended Use
Both of the reels are used in combination with a fishing rod and line to catch fish. The two models we are examining, the Sweepfire and the Laguna, present two different variations on a standard spinning reel. The Sweepfire model we have is in the Light to Ultra-Light range, which means it has a comparably small drag and is intended to catch smaller fish. The Laguna is in the Heavy to Medium-Heavy reel range, and has an increase in the maximum drag which can be applied to the fish, resulting in the ability to catch larger fish.
Home vs. Professional Use
The reels that we have are mostly for home and leisure use, although some professional fishermen may also use a reel similar to the Laguna. There is a fine line between home and professional use in fishing, with the only difference being if the fish are being sold or not. The distinction between home and professional does not necessarily translate to a large difference in reel quality, as higher end leisure fishers may use very high quality reels, while part-time professional fisher may use a lower quality reel.
Jobs Performed
The jobs performed by a spinning reel are very specific. They must neatly store fishing line, allow for the line to be cast out with little resistance, provide higher resistance when the fish is hooked, and be able to reel the line back in and store it away.
Tasks Required to Achieve Objectives
To achieve the objectives listed above, the user must be able to wind the line onto the rod, cast effectively, and reel in the line.
Energy Profile
Types of Energy Used
Spinning reels use mechanical energy to both cast and retrieve fishing reel. There are some newer, higher quality reels that use stored electrical energy to help reel in the fish, but for the scope of our project we will be working only with mechanical energy.
How Energy is Imported
Energy is imported into the system solely by the user. There are two distinct methods by which the user imports energy. The first is the cast, where the user swings the rod and stops abruptly, allowing the bait or lure to continue motion and cast line out from the reel. The second method is turning the handle, which reels the line back in.
How Energy is Transformed
There is not a great deal of transformation of energy done by a spinning reel, as energy is imported in the form of rotational motion from the crank. However, this is some reduction done by gears in the reel which transform speed from the crank into the torque required to reel in a fish.
Complexity Profile
Number of Components
In our product proposal, we estimated that there would be approximately 50 individual components per reel. After examining the reels, there are around 20 externally visible components. However, we still estimate that there are and additional 30 internal components at least, with the more complex Laguna model having more.
Component Complexity
From examining the outside of the reel, the outer visible components are somewhat simple in their construction. However, since the outer case of the reel hides most of the components, there could be more complicated components inside. For the most part, the complexity of the reels comes from the sheer number and small size of components, not necessarily their individual complexity.
Component Interaction Complexity
There are few visible interactions on the exterior of the reel. The interior, on the other hand, we are anticipating to be very complex in terms of component interactions. The small size of the reel coupled with the fact that there are many moving, spinning parts leads us to believe that there is a great level of interaction complexity. In addition, we are anticipating that the Laguna model will be more complex than the Sweepfire.
Material Profile
Visible Materials
The exteriors of both reels are similar. Their bodies are made of multiple different metals and plastics, with rubber on the handles. It is assumed that the metals are some sort of steel or aluminum, but without additional testing it is impossible to know the specific alloys.
Anticipated Additional Materials
Similar to the outside of the reels, the interior components are most likely made out of similar plastics and metals. There may also be additional materials such as bronze bushings to facilitate rotation and various types of plastics and rubbers.
User Interaction Profile
User Interface
The used interfaces with the reel in five distinct processes that occur over the life of the reels. These processes, listed below with more detail, are attaching to the pole, winding, casting, reeling, and adjusting drag.
- Attaching Reel to Pole
- Many poles are sold with reels already attached. However, it is possible for a used to buy a standalone reel and attach it to a pole. This is a relatively simple process given that both the reel and pole are in good working order. To attach a reel to a pole, the user must unscrew the hood of the pole, place the foot of the reel in the reel seat, and then reattach the hood.
- Winding Line
- Winding the line is the process of putting line onto the reel and must be done before going fishing. Most outdoor stores offer line-winding services for a low price, but it is possible to do on your own. To wind the line, the user must first feed the line through a few of the eyelets on the pole, then secure it by tying it. Then, the user must reel the line onto the reel slowly, making sure that it is winding evenly.
- Casting
- To cast properly, the reel must be properly attached to the reel and properly wound. Casting begins by placing one hand on the base of the pole and using the index finger of that hand to grab the line. The other hand then opens the line guard. Next, the pole is brought back over the shoulder and flung forward, releasing the line as it is flung.
- Retrieving Line
- This is the simplest process to achieve with the reel. It is done by simply turning the handle.
- Adjusting Drag
- Drag is adjusted to account for different sizes and weights of fish. The first step is to locate where the drag adjustment mechanism is on the reel. For the Sweepfire, it is on the base of the reel, while the Laguna has it on the top of the reel. Adjusting the drag is as simple as finding this knob and turning it until the desired amount of drag is added to the reel.
Attaching the reel to the pole is very straightforward. Winding the line is quite intuitive once it is started. Casting is relatively difficult, but is something that is very easy to do repeatedly once it is learned. Both retrieving the line and adjusting the drag are intuitive in that they are both simply spinning a handle and a knob, respectively.
Ease of Use
Spinning reels in general have somewhat of a learning curve. It takes coordination to complete the entire casting motion smoothly, but once it is learned it becomes second nature to use.
Maintenance Required
The largest piece of maintenance require for a spinning reel is to replace the line if it breaks. Replacing the line is comparable to winding the line onto the reel, as it is basically the same process, but with the added step of removing the broken line first. The only other significant maintenance necessary is greasing the internal components. This is accomplished by removing the cover of the reel, applying grease, and attaching the cover.
Product Alternatives Profile
Alternative Types of Reels
Below is a list of other types of fishing reels, listed with advantages and disadvantages as well as information on when it would be beneficial to use that alternative.
- Fly Casting Reel
- Fly reels are mechanically much simpler than spinning reels. Operated by stripping the line off of the reel with one hand and flicking the rod with the other, fly fishing reels are easier to use than spinning reels but are useful in a much more limited scope. There use is mainly limited to fly fishing, as they are intended to keep the bait (the fly) moving rather than sitting and waiting. They have the advantage of a high speed of retrieving, allowing the fisherman to keep a fish hooked regardless of how fast and which direction it moves.
- Baitcasting Reel
- Baitcasting reels, or baitcasters, are very similar in construction to spinning reels. One significant difference is that there is much higher casting drag on baitcasters, which means that they must be used with heavier lures than spinning reels. Baitcasters can be used in a very similar fashion to spinning reels, making the choice to use one or the other partially a matter of personal preference. However, baitcasters can handle slightly heavier line than spinning reels, at the cost of having to use heavier bait.
- Spin Cast Reel
- By far the simplest type of reel to operate, the spin cast reel is a less complex version of a spinning reel. The bail and spool are completely shielded on a spin cast reel, eliminating the need to handle the line at all during casting. Instead, the user either pushes a button or pulls a trigger to cast the line. Their simplicity lends them to use by children and beginners, but they can be used by anyone. More skilled fisherman typically choose either a baitcast or spinning reel over a spin cast reel, as spin cast reels typically do not handle larger fish very well.
Cost Comparison
While fishing reels can be bought for anywhere from $10 to over $2000, the type of the reel does not affect the price. That is, there is no clear correlation of a particular type of reel to one price range. Rather, each different type of reel typically has models being marketed to novices, intermediate level, and professional fishermen alike.

text: My coworker said this place was really good. Went there and ordered a charburger with bacon and onion rings. The burger was good, not great. The ingredients were all fresh but I'd prefer apple pans any day. The onion rings were nice and large and pretty good. I saw on their menu that they have a tri tip sandwich and promised myself I would go back and try that next time. So, I went there a couple of weeks ago and I must say, I was disappointed. The beef was a little on the rough side and it didn't seep as special as it sounded. I ordered the barbeque sauce on the side and I must say that the sandwich NEEDED the sauce. I'm willing to go back to try their other items but only if some of you can give me some suggestions or feedback. For example, hows the pastrami or chicken club sandwich? I've been in the mood for cobb salad these days so I might try that out too. If I'm craving a burger, I'm still going to in-n-out.

Around the NBA - 11/01/10
Nick Matkovich
The dawn of another NBA season means a myriad of things to different people. While questions mount and optimism wanes after the first sub 500 road trip, it's important to hold true to the staples that keep us interested from October through June.
In this, the first week of November, the basketball audience is already well-ensconced in the pure analytical bliss of "The NBA on TNT."
The three-letter league, on the three-letter network with the three-man team is the best studio show in professional sports.
The stalwarts reveal themselves in the form of Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny Smith. The trio drives the show, lending a sense of bare-knuckles honesty to the program. The fourth seat, occupied by Chris Webber, Magic Johnson, Reggie Miller and a bevy of others is a fairly irrelevant spot and it's no fault of their own. Barkley, Johnson, and Smith have such a good give-and-take with one another that the fourth seat is the random guy at the end of the bar. Aside from asking yourself why a random guy is sitting by himself in a bar as you move your wallet from your back pocket to the front, you know he's good for an occasional comment, but you mainly talk to him in passing. The star power rests in the NBA's longest running version of The Big Three.
All three share an honesty and outrageousness that pairs Statler and Waldorf from "The Muppet Show" with the barbershop scene from "Coming to America." Though none of the three throw tomatoes at guests that make their way into the studio, nor has Barkley spoken about meeting the 176-year-old Joe Louis, no show provides such an entertaining format that envelopes games.
What exists is a natural bravado, one-upsmanship, and the rarely exhibited mix of humor saturated with the truth that all three put on display, most notably Barkley. None of them wear the serious face of doom and gloom storytelling that some broadcasters make their scratch from.
The same person who detested the idea of being a role model as a marketing campaign directed at the counter-culture types who wanted gym shoes, Barkley has assumed the position for ex-players hoping to carve their niche in broadcasting.
Unfortunately, those in Barkley's position have a proclivity to be nice instead of honest. No one likes to step on anyone's toes because honesty and genuine feelings may come across as caustic. For Barkley, there are no shrink-wrapped, self-contained opinions. He threw out the cookie cutter opinion maker that media outlets prefer that their personalities use to keep things safe and stale.
While the association winces at some of Barkley's comments, no rush to mute his opinions exists, nor has there been anyone enforcing him to practice buttoned-down commentary. If that were the case, I have a feeling Barkley would cook up a bunch of expletives and inform them he's going to work elsewhere.
Speaking of work, (What a great transition Nick!) Barkley has done little to hide his future career aspirations to run for governor of Alabama or run an NBA team in some capacity. These long-standing future career choices strait-jacket people into being nice and practicing the largest disservice any personality or opinion-maker can exhibit: holding back.
Holding back doesn't exist in Barkley's lexicon. In Thursday's pregame show, TNT ran an interview with number one draft pick John Wall. The Washington Wizard declared the Wizards have a feasible goal of making the playoffs as the number eight seed. Barkley said he (Wall) will miss playing at Kentucky this season. He enhanced that statement by saying that Wall has never gone up against competition this good. With that competition comes an adjustment period.
The mix of humor and analysis drips through the entire broadcast. Smith referred to the Wizards as the Washington Generals after their poor first half against the Orlando Magic. Johnson led off halftime show of the Suns Jazz game mentioning the cascade of boos directed towards the Jazz from their hometown faithful at Energy Solutions Arena.
Dare I say that the three actually have fun together in the studio? No one is jockeying for their next job or hesitant to say anything in fear of damaging the relationship between the league and the network. The journalists are doing their job and providing commentary. No hiding behind the Jerry West logo in fear of a comeuppance from the league office and to be fair, the league does an outstanding of not trying to police newscasters or journalists. The warts-and-all coverage gives fans a much more intimate look at the league than what the other professional leagues provide.
What reveals itself in this equation is that no calf is too fatted and no goose too golden for Barkley and Smith to speak candidly about. The brand of truth-telling may be dying in some parts of the national media, but it's a good thing Barkley, Johnson, and Smith are handling the defibrillators in earnest attempts to resuscitate the fun in commentary.
Note: These are the views of the 6th Fan Blogger. Thoughts and opinions expressed in this articles are not necessarily the views of the Milwaukee Bucks.

National Geographic Assignment of a Lifetime
National Geographic photographer Nick Nichols is working on a new project in Africa, photographing Serengeti lions.

The results he hopes for: pictures of Africa's wild lions such as no one has ever seen.

Economic Structural Change and Family Investments in Children
The structures of production and organization differ across rural and urban sectors. In agriculture, family members engage in joint production and collective decision making, while in industry they participate in wage employment in the labor market. In this paper we present a model that incorporates the asymmetry between the rural and urban sectors and shows that this asymmetry leads to different family behaviors: Urban parents choose lower fertility, make more educational investment in children, and, in particular, invest more equally in each child's education than their rural counterparts. These behavioral differences exist even if the two types of families have otherwise equal economic conditions, such as preferences, parental incomes, child endowments, and costs of education and child rearing. In a dynamic version of the model, we show that economic development leads to higher schooling attainment, lower fertility, and a more equal distribution of sibling education, as rural families respond to urban employment opportunities and as the percentage of rural population declines over time. These analytical results are consistent with observed family behaviors covering six decades of rapid development in Taiwan.

The rapper has one number 1 U.K. single, a well-selling album and two movies that made him so rich that he could do nothing for the rest of his life.
British singer/actor Plan B is adamant he's rich enough to retire - despite only releasing his first hit record earlier this year. The "She Said" hitmaker scored his first U.K. number one in April with his second album "The Defamation of Strickland Banks", and has appeared in U.K. films "Harry Brown" and "188.8.131.52".
But despite his newcomer status, the star insists he has the option never to work again because of his earning power over the last 12 months. He tells Britain's The Sun, "I'm not a millionaire but I have enough money to retire from music and just do nothing. I could just buy a little house and a car and relax."
"But that s**t doesn't motivate me. I just plan on making great music and films for the rest of my career."

That's the problem with Big Dickhead Perry: Y'just can't trust the SOB.
Just as he's riding a wave of popular support and walking a path that would likely have carried him to a third full term as Texas governor, he goes and steps in a pile of dogshit.
Texas Governor Rick Perry say he believes the recent immigration law passed in Arizona would not be the right direction for the Lone Star State.
And I guess that's 'cause you think they're just gonna march east to Texas and swear on a stack o' Aggie calendars that they're a-gonna vote fer you, don'tcha?
Got news for you, Big Dickhead, ol' boy. More on that in a moment.
The Texas Republican says he fully recognizes and supports a state's right and obligation to protect its citizens, but he has concerns with portions of the Arizona law.
Yeah, like the deportation part – right, Big Dickhead?
Some aspects of the law turn law enforcement officers into immigration officials by requiring them to determine immigration status during any lawful contact with a suspected alien.
That's right, BDH, it does. But since being in this country illegally is supposed to be, you know, a CRIME, it's the same damned thing as checking for a criminal record. Which is what the cops do anyway during that little period when they take your license from you whilst they check it.
But you didn't think of that, did you, Big Dickhead?
Perry says the focus must continue to be on the criminal elements involved with conducting criminal acts.
That's a fuckin' Aggie for you. Arizona's trying to stop the criminal elements known as illegal aliens from committing the criminal act of being in the country illegally, and BDHP is trying his damndest to keep Texas from doing the same thing.
Perry adds as the debate over immigration reform intensifies, the focus must remain on border security.
'Scuse me for saying so, but I thought that's what Arizona was trying to do, and what Texas needed to try to do.
Mexico is Texas' largest trading partner, and they share more than 1,200 miles of border, which is more than any other state.
See, here's your money quote, right here. Big Dickhead Perry thinks all those illegales are going to come here from 'Zona and vote for him and his hairdo.
News flash, Big Dickhead: Illegal aliens…wait for it…can't vote. That means they can't vote for you. But neither can they vote for Billy White, y'know?
We Texas citizens, on the other hand, can vote. And we support Arizona.
Better get that past your helmet hair, down into your thick head. Before we decide you're not worth our vote.
