Grant's Getaways: Willamette Sturgeon Fishing
This week, I headed to the Willamette River with a rod, reel and spirit of adventure to learn more about Oregon's famous dinosaur fish species called "sturgeon."
Steve Williams says his fishing doesn't slow despite what the calendar shows. He and fishing partner, Rick Hargrave, are hearty anglers who don't mind winter's bone chilling cold as long as there's promise of a fishing hole all their own.
Despite winter morning air that hovered near freezing, I joined Williams to check out the opportunity and cast into the Willamette River to catch the dinosaur of Oregon's fish species called "sturgeon." I've enjoyed sturgeon fishing action before, but usually in summer's warm glow and nearly a hundred miles away in the Columbia River estuary near Astoria.
Williams and Hargrave swear by "smelt" for bait (they stretch their investment by cutting each of the small fish in half) and then spear them each on a 5-0 barbless hook followed by a series of half hitches to secure each piece. Each of the anglers employed four ounces of lead that slid up and down the line – just above the leader line and brass swivel.
Here's a tip: add a scent to your bait – Williams swears by garlic scent bait products for sturgeon, but be careful how much you use.
"You don't want to do is spill it in your boat though," he said with a chuckle. "Otherwise it'll be with you for the whole season."
Williams knows these fish first hand! Not just fishing for them on his days off, but as the ODFW Fish Division's Administrative Assistant.
He said that anyone is able to go eyeball to eyeball with Oregon's dinosaur fish anytime at Bonneville Fish Hatchery in the Columbia River Gorge.
Hargrave is ODFW'S Public Information Director and said that the Oregon Wildlife Heritage Foundation partnered with the state to build an intriguing sturgeon exhibit at the hatchery.
In fact, an exhibit area sports an acre-sized pond that has massive plate glass windows positioned below water level so to allow visitors a way to peer into the sturgeon's underwater world.
"It's a place to see sturgeon in their environment, ask questions and gain new information about an amazing fish," said Hargrave.
Back on the Willamette River – as wintertime boaters motored past our anchored position, I was reminded of a new marine tool that will enhance Oregon boater's experiences in 2012.
The Oregon State Marine Board offers a new Interactive Boating Access Map that is downloadable and details over 1,000 Oregon boat launches, ramps and marinas. The new site and mobile app answers any question an Oregon mariner might have about boating in the state including fees, restroom facilities and area amenities.
Back on William's boat, Hargrave's rod tip bobbed slightly up and down and he quickly picked up the rod from its holder, reared back and set the hook.
He gave me no choice and stuck the rod and reel in my chest and said – "it's yours!"
The fish felt heavy and pulled back against the stiff rod tip and I wondered aloud, "So the secret on this is hold on for dear life?"
I suddenly felt helpless as the 80-pound test line easily sped out of the large reel.
"This is the fun part, Grant," shouted Williams. "Try to smile!"
He was right – I needed to relax a bit. After all, it's the part of the adventure that everyone is supposed to enjoy the most. There simply aren't many places you can go in Oregon to catch fish that can reach gigantic proportions.
"That's a big fish right there," noted Hargrave.
That much was certain as the line played out from a sturgeon that seemed to have one thing on its mind – get back to the ocean – and fast!
I held my ground for twenty minutes as the fish scooted away from the boat several times on runs that reached forty, thirty and then twenty yards – each time I slowly worked the sturgeon back toward the boat.
Williams said, "Right here in the Willamette and Columbia River Basins are the largest populations of white sturgeon on the planet. Biologists figure that the population is about one million fish below Bonneville Dam."
It was a huge fish too – easily four feet long – perhaps much longer – and reached fifty or sixty pounds.
No net would be used for this fish – Hargrave gently reached out and pulled in the mainline as the fish reached the surface.
The Willamette River is largely a catch and release sturgeon fishery (there is a short catch and keep Willamette River sturgeon fishery season each February) so there was no need to stress the fish further by hauling it aboard the boat. Williams pointed to the underside of the sturgeon's head and the spaghetti-like "barbels' that extended from the underside of the fish's snout. "These are the fish's sense of smell here, as they swim along the bottom," added Williams. "Glance down the fish's side and check out the diamond-like patches. Those are called "scuts" and are made of cartilage. They are considered the sturgeon's armor plating and a real indication of the fish's prehistoric biology."
And with that, Williams unhooked the big fish and we watched it slide back down into the river's dark depths. Williams said that he preferred to leave the sturgeon in the water; there's less damage to the fish that way and a bit of respect due an ancient species.
Editor's Note: Most of Oregon's bodies of water are 41 degrees or lower in the winter which means you have about a minute and a half before hypothermia sets in; be sure to wear a Personal Flotation Device before heading out to the river. Finally, if you have questions about tactics and techniques for sturgeon, salmon or steelhead fishing, try Dave Johnson, the Ask Oregon Fishing Ambassador. You can reach him on Twitter or Facebook

C. R. Schultz says…
Enjoyed reading your Sturgeon experience on the Willamette so much that I have added such a trip to my "fishing bucket list!" At the moment I am grossly enthralled with the challenge of fly fishing which, thankfully, will keep me occupied here in Eastern Oregon for a while.

First Class Writer For X-Men
Jamie Moss grabs a pen
As reported yesterday, director Bryan Singer will be returning to the X-Men fold with origins story First Class, based on the limited comics series by Jeff Parker. The Hollywood Reporter has now also announced the film's screenwriter, and it's Jamie Moss.
Something of an unknown quantity, Moss has rarely appeared on our radar before: as writer of the quite-good Keanu cop thriller Street Kings, the possible Ron Howard Iraq war project Last Man Home, and as the guy who was replaced by Shutter Island's Laeta Kalogridis for the in-development Dreamworks re-jig of Ghost in the Shell.
All swings and roundabouts and par for the course in Hollywood terms though: Moss will himself be replacing The OC's Josh Schwartz on what seems to be a page-one First Class restart. Poor Josh. He was even offered the director's chair at one point.
The story focuses on the early days of the Xavier School For the Gifted, so expect Young Cyclops, Young Jean Grey and Young Beast, but no Wolverine. Sniktless.

I have a similar setup to some neighbours. Only I have enabled the guest zone with a password and MAC filtering, so only those I rely on can use it.
I have the same router as you (DIR-655) and use traffic shaping (Advanced -> QoS Engine) to make sure my computers have first priority on the net; after all, I'm the one who's paying. To give your computers fixed IPs, you can "reserve" IPs to your own MAC addresses. That way I never experiences any limitations while others can use the full capasity when I don't use it.
The Guest Zone blocks access to your own devices and shields you from being hacked. Note that a good hacker can always overcome such blockings. You can also use Access Control (Advanced -> Access Control) to limit what others can do. You can also block traffic based on web addresses and such. Just play around with the advanced settings.
I know that others have said "Be careful" about this, but I just wanted to repeat it. Except exposing yourself to possible hackers, you could potentially lend your network to some pretty nasty people.

By Terry Lehrke, News Editor
The Little Falls City Council passed a resolution on a 7-1 vote to put a local option sales tax on the Nov. 4 General Election.
That was the first step in implementing the tax. The City Council also had to decide the proposed tax rate, the amount of revenue to be raised, its intended uses and an anticipated date the tax will expire, and pass a resolution.
The sales and use tax of one half of 1 percent is proposed to expire after 12 years and will be used to pay for capital costs for the construction of the Little Falls Area Recreation Complex, in north Little Falls.
If the resolution is passed by the voters within the city, the city must request and the Legislature must enact a special law authorizing the imposition of the tax.
The referendum question to be placed on the ballot states: "Shall the Little Falls City Council impose by ordinance, a sales and use tax of one-half of 1 percent (1/2%) for the purpose of paying capital costs for the construction of the Little Falls Area Recreational Complex including, but not limited to, property acquisition, rest rooms, picnic shelters, community facility, ball fields, tennis and basketball courts, all wheel park, splash pad, access roadways, utilities and parking lots, as well as hiking and biking trails within the complex and throughout the community."
The accompanying cost estimate was $7.5 million. However, that did not include the splash pad, which was included in the list of items estimated at an additional $400,000, bringing the total to $7.9 million.
City Administrator Dan Vogt said staff met with the mayor and Council Member Frank Gosiak about how to word the question. Then staff met with the city attorney and it was decided to include more of the project than originally discussed, because if it were going to include just ball fields, the tax dollars could not be used for other components of the project.
The state statute says the question must be specific, so more items were included.
"If you want to take items out of here it's as simple as word processing," he said. Vogt said he didn't want the Council to think anyone was "trying to pull a fast one" in adding the splash pad.
The Little Falls Area Recreational Complex Task Force recommended including at least the four anchor projects: the ball fields, all-wheels skate park, splash pad and bike/walking trails.
Guessing the amount of revenue that might be raised, based on the most recent numbers from the Minnesota Department of Revenue, Vogt said perhaps a couple hundred thousand could be generated in a year but it was just a guess.
Vogt noted if the referendum on the local tax was passed by the voters, it would then go to the legislature and if passed there, the city would have to pass an ordinance and the tax may be put into place by July or October of 2015.
Should the funds be raised before the end of the 12-year life of the tax the Council could decide to end the tax early. If the funds were not raised, the Council could decide to try to extend the tax as well.
Council Member at Large Brian-Paul Crowder noted the fact that the splash pad was not included in the financial breakdown the Council had received.
Vogt said it was a simple miscommunication between himself and Public Works Director Greg Kimman, who put the figures together.
Mayor Cathy VanRisseghem said that the plan was to work to get the splash pad in place by next year. "By the time the revenue comes in for this, we're hoping the splash pad is up and running by then," she said.
City Attorney Toni Wetzel cautioned the Council about removing items from the ballot question. The money would not be available for anything taken out of the question.
"We've been talking back and forth for probably two years and we kept saying that we're going to take the splash park out of there because it's going to be funded with donations and grants," said Council Member Greg Zylka. "And I think we're confusing the heck out of the committee and we're confusing the community by going back and forth. We have to decide what the heck we're doing and all sing the same song."
Council Member Jeremy Hanfler asked if the splash pad were included, if the funds could be used for operation and maintenance.
The money is only for capital costs, Vogt said.
"It just bothers the living heck out of me that we didn't have the splash pad included in the project because, I can just see the notes at the bottom of the story about how some of us tried to put a fast one by you and it wasn't," said Vogt. "I missed it, that's all there's to it and if you don't want it — tell us. If you do want it — tell us. Go through every one of these items and cross out which ones you don't want … adopt whatever resolution, or not, you want. You don't have to put this to the voters."
Crowder, concerned with the operating costs of the splash pad, said, "I know Greg has expressed his concern from day one, also. It's all fine and dandy to do this, but where are we going to get the revenue for running this facility? If we can't use the .5 percent tax for that, where is it coming from?"
VanRisseghem noted that the operating expenses for the splash pad came in at $20,000 or so a year. "A small price to pay for our community," she said. "We easily bellied up $25,000 for the golf course this year. I feel we should be able to do that for our kids."
Her commitment, she said, was to build the splash pad. "If we get it built before and you guys add it into this, then we'll just pay off the revenue earlier," she said.
Kimman said the largest expense for operation and maintenance of the splash pad is the water.
"It really comes out of one pot of money and pays the enterprise fund for the water department," he said.
"I don't necessarily think that $25,000 – $30,000 is too much to pay for operation and maintenance," said Zylka. "My point is we have to understand that and be committed to that as a Council. That money has to come from somewhere and I don't want to sacrifice the school resource officer. Are we going to have to raise the levy to do that? That's my concern."
Mary Kenna, chair of the Little Falls Area Recreational Complex Task Force noted everyone had to be on the same page. "Look at, right in this room, the confusion," she said. It is critical, she said, that a group be formed to educate and raise awareness about the complex and that it wasn't the task force's purpose to do that.
"Find a real key committed group of people to share that message, so everyone can make an informed decision on this project," she said.
Crowder was the lone no vote for the resolution. He said it was because it was presented in a "flim-flam" way, no plan for maintenance costs, and that "there was so much confusion about what the money was slated to be used for."
"I'm surprised that those things weren't ironed out before this was presented," he said.
He felt the tax was a tool designed by the Legislature for large projects like the city's wastewater treatment facility. "We don't want to keep going to the well too many times," he said.
Ken Swecker with Sen. Paul Gazelka's office provided information on what would be taxed should the local option sales tax referendum be passed.
The local option sales tax applies to the same tax base, with the same exemptions, as the state sales tax.
It would not apply to the sale of electricity gas or other heating fuels delivered by the seller, or the transfer of motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, modular homes, manufactured homes or mobile homes.

November 8, 2012
Source: Apple
"They're coming… ready?" It's time. Paramount has unleashed the first full-length zombie-filled trailer for World War Z, the epic adaptation of the world famous zombie book by Max Brooks. Brad Pitt stars as Gerry Lane, the UN ambassador who watches as the world crumbles in the chaos known as World War Z, the war of the zombies. The supporting cast includes Mireille Enos and Matthew Fox, but we don't get to see too much of them in this. We do get to see lots of zombies and military attacks and intense action and tons more, and this does look kind of awesome, I have to say. A big, epic, zombie blockbuster - take a look below!
Watch the first official trailer for Marc Forster's World War Z movie, in high def from Apple:
A UN employee racing against time and fate travels the world trying to stop a growing zombie pandemic.
This World War Z movie is directed by German filmmaker Marc Forster, of films Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland, Stranger Than Fiction, The Kite Runner, Quantum of Solace and Machine Gun Preacher previously. The screenplay was written by Matthew Michael Carnahan (The Kingdom, State of Play), revised by Damon Lindelof (Star Trek, Prometheus). It's adapted from Max Brooks' beststelling zombie book World War Z. Paramount is adapting this and preparing Marc Forster's World War Z for a release next summer, starting June 21st, 2013, after being delayed from December of this year. How great does that look?

US railroad uses Wi-Fi to run 'driverless' trains
World's biggest train set?
The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) has found a novel use for Wi-Fi. It has started using the wireless networking technology to control trains remotely.
BNSF locomotives carry freight across the continental US. However, it is using wireless technology to move units around its rail yards. It reckons the system is more efficient - presumably one driver can run multiple locos from the same seat in the yard control centre - and a darn sight safer than putting drivers inside the engines, the Fort Worth, Texas-based company claims.
Instead, they operate a control panel that mirrors what they'd see if they were sitting in the cab. Their instructions are relayed to each loco via the "industrial strength" WLAN.
"You can even blow the horn," says BNSF CIO Jeff Campbell in a throwaway line included in an interview with Computerworld concerning the company's dealings with cellular providers.
Beat that, Hornby. ®

At least 20 other security force officers were reported injured. Health Ministry official Tarek Khater told the Associated Press the vehicle's driver was speeding on a badly-maintained road when he lost control. The truck overturned in eastern Sinai, according to a report by Egypt's Middle East News Agency cited by Ahram Online.
The accident did not take place near the Sinai area where the Egyptian military has launched an operation against militant activity, said AP.
Road conditions throughout Egypt are often poor. AP cited police data estimating that the conditions are responsible for killing some 6,000 people every year.

Medical Definition of Pregnancy-associated malaria
Pregnancy-associated malaria: A specific syndrome that occurs only in pregnant women and that is characterized by the accumulation in the placenta of red blood cells containing the malarial parasite. Pregnancy-associated malaria causes low birthweight and maternal anemia. Therefore, it is associated with substantial rates of morbidity (disease) and mortality (death) for both the mother and baby.

Russian Sauerkraut Shchi
As I wrote in my first post I live in Moscow, Russia. You may be surprised, but I am originally from Russia. Yes, really! I have been living here all my life and none of my family is an immigrant. Most of foreign people I meet traditionally ask me the same questions, so I guess you want some details regarding my non-Russian appearance. Fine, I will tell you :) I am a representative of a small nation (about 180 thousand people) called Kalmyks who look Asian but historically live in Russia. That's it :)
So, as a Russian blogger, I decided to start from writing about the most traditional Russian dishes one of which is Shchi (pronounced as "sch-ee"). I know, sounds strange, but believe me, it's so delicious! Shchi is a cabbage soup, it can be cooked either from raw cabbage or sauerkraut, but sauerkraut version is my favourite! If you are not familiar with Russian cuisine, I highly recommend you to try this amazing sour soup!
Canned sauerkraut is most likely available in a grocery stores, Russian shops, or Western European markets.
Russian Sauerkraut Shchi
Our family favorite recipe of Russian Sour Shchi, a healthy vegetable soup. It's vegan, gluten-free, easy-to-follow and absolutely delicious!
Serves 6
What to do
Quite easy, isn't it? If you have vegan sour cream, add 1/2 tablespoon to your plate and enjoy your amazing Shchi!
P.S. Sauerkraut Shchi recipe with step-by-step photos can be found in the recipe section. Get the recipe here.

I increased the sauerkraut to 2 cups as with the spices and served with kefir which is much better and much more healthy than plain sour cream.

This sounds delicious (I would minus the pepper for personal reasons). Your background sounds intriguing. Thanks for sharing!

When you think of the Wikimedia Foundation, what comes to mind? For us it's immediately Wikipedia and Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales who started the foundation. It's based in San Francisco, and the foundation operates several wiki projects including the ever-so-popular Wikipedia. Wikipedia is obviously the most popular site that's part of the foundation, but there are other projects that are gaining some ground. Today we'll be taking a look at some of the Wikimedia Foundation Projects that are currently going on, aside from their most popular, Wikipedia. They include: Wikiversity, Wikiquote, Wiki Books, and Wikispecies.
Wikiversity is a place to go when you want to find educational types of resources. For educators, there's nothing better than free learning materials and activities. There are two main goals of the site:
- Create and host a range of free-content, and multilingual learning materials/resources for all age groups in all languages
- Host scholarly/learning projects and communities that support these materials
At this point Wikiversity is available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Greek, and other languages will be added in the future. It launched back in August of 2006.
By visiting the homepage, you'll gain a wealth of knowledge just from taking a look at some of the information they have featured.
One area of the site we recommend visiting is the Featured Content Section where you can explore featured content. They provide a tour for it which helps you come across information you may not have discovered otherwise. You can find it here.
For those of you who like quotes, Wikiquote is going to be one of those pages that you'll want to bookmark. It's a free online collection of quotes from various people and in various languages. Within the quotes you may find links to Wikipedia for more information on a certain topic, which is nice.
Each day they have a quote of the day displayed on the Main Page, and then they also have a page for each month where you can view "quotes of the day" from each day in the month. In the left sidebar under the "navigation" section you'll notice a random page link (as with all other Wiki sites). Clicking it will provide you with a random page with quotes.
One area of the site we recommend visiting is their TV Shows section. Here you'll find lists of quotes for various TV shows. For an example, we clicked on the Big Bang Theory section and it pulled up quotes from the show organized by which episode it came from. Some shows have quite a few more quotes than others.
Some of you may not have known that Wikbooks even exists yet it's been around since the Summer of 2003. The purpose of Wikibooks is to provide a place for the creation of free content textbooks and annotated texts that, like other wikis, anybody can edit. (Source)
Out of all of the different Wiki's, this is the one we were least familiar with so we turned to none other than Wikipedia to learn more about it. We were wondering if all content was new and specific only to Wikibooks or not, and we found our answer. They say, "While some books are original, other began as text copied over from other sources of free content textbooks found on the Internet."
The one downside to Wikibooks is the fact that the content is written and edited by volunteers which means you may come across incomplete books. The other issue is quality. Not every book you come across would be considered quality content.
Despite these criticisms, they must be doing something right because they have over 30,495 pages of content that people have written. Searching and browsing through content is easy because they break things down into categories, subjects, alphabetically, by the Dewey Decimal classification, and by the Library of Congress classification.
Now this is one we didn't even know existed, probably because we've never really had a use for it. Wikispecies, like the other wiki-based projects we included today, is free and includes a wealth of information. In this particular situation, it's a wealth of information about species. I guess you could say Wikispecies isn't for your average joe, and instead is more focused towards those in the science field.
It's been around only since 2004, but it has grown pretty steadily since. They say they cover Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Bacteria, Archaea, Protista and all other forms of life. Since 2004 they have been able to collect 143,657 "taxonomic articles."
If Science is your forte and you're wanting to learn more about all of the various species, Wikispecies is for you.

RR: Going to get to run with my friends for the first time in a long time tomorrow. That's good . . . . the bad . . .
NRR: Job no more. I really, really did try to push through. I had a bad feeling from the time I started there, i could tell that what was promised was not happening. The two girls I was working with, definitely were not happy from the time I walked in the door. They were supposed to train me and their training was to give me a job, when I made a mistake they would pounce on it. I was so stressed out all the time. Then the DR. was having those girls give me weekly reviews - WTF??? I told her what was going on and she wouldn't believe me. She said she loved me, the patients love me, but these girls said I was slow, I didn't have good posture which made me look unconfident and the doctor also said she thought I needed hormone balancing. I laughed and said, well I won't be able to afford that. She did say she thought I was a great worker and she'd give me a good recommendation - ha. Whatever. She told me I could finish out the week or two weeks but I opted not to, why stress myself out even more. Well now I can clean my house and figure out what the heck to do. UGH! Time to sleep and cry.
FR: I don't even care right now.
I guess I'll be posting a bit more . . . . hahaha
Its still Wednesday to me
Mia- It sounds like its a good place to leave. Seriously. You have seemed so stressed lately. Those girls seemed out to sabotage you from the start, you don't want to have that much stress in your life. Cry it out. Lean on TLC. Have a good run. Scream and yell. Honestly all these "reasons" sound like BS, especially when the Doc said you were good at your job...but bad posture... lame. I know it seems tough and hurtful and every other emotion right now, but in some time you will look back and say "thank god that didn't work out".
Good morning!
RR: I had a great 1600 yard swim yesterday. It felt fantastic! Today I'm going for a run, probably 6.2 miles.
NRR: Not too much going on here, just ready for the weekend. Today I have work, cheer club (maybe, if anybody shows up), a run, then Thursday night tv. I think it's new Grey's Anatomy, so I'm excited about that. Yes, what an exciting life I lead!
FR: DF and I went out for Mexican last night. It was delicious. Today I'm thinking a portobello cap and sweet potato fries.
Students are showing up and class is going to start in a few minutes, so I have to go, but I'll be back later for shouts!
MIA: I just read your post. I'm so sorry to hear about that. I can't believe it. The nerve of those girls and that doctor! Are you going to go back to Weight Watchers until you find something else? HUGS!
Morning!snowed-nice job on the trail miles, that is awesome. definitely take a rest day if you are feeling a little worn down, especially after increasing miles. MC-yes the snow will be fun, but i don't like having to drive home in it with a lot of bad drivers. we'll see. should be good skiing around here this weekend if you son is at school! 2 feet is a lot for us....at a time. mia-((hugs)) i'm sorry about the job, that really stinks. i hope you find something else soon. you are smart and awesome, something will come along i'm sure!!rtr-yum, i could go for mexican! RR:10 miles this morning. thinking about long run tomorrow morning on the treadmill bc who knows what it will be like on saturday. i think the gym will be open but they are talking 18-24" of snow and power outages/blizzard conditions. so if i run in the afternoon, i won't likely go longer than 7. we'll see. NRR: snow. otherwise, working and possibly meeting one of DBF's friends after work for a drink bc he is in town. thursday night tv also, hooray! FR: nothing too exiting here...did quick dinner of frozen veggie/rice steamfresh with blackbeans and stewed mexican tomatoes. thew some mozzarella on top--was pretty tasty
Hi all!
Slept a little last night, not as much as i would've liked.
RR: Looking forward to the run this morning with my running friends. I haven't been able to run with them both together in what seems like months.
NRR: Doing a lot of thinking. What to do, what to do . . .
FR: I'll definitely have to be more frugal in my food spending now, so that should help with the weight. Lots of beans????
Snow: Thanks for the kind words. It was NOT a good work environment, I kept going in with a positive attitude only to be "bullied" (for lack of a better word) and feeling like doo doo by the end of the day. Doc said the "bad posture" made me look unconfident, which wasn't good . . . BTW that's what one of the "girls" said in her review.
RTR: you've been getting some good work outs in. I bet you are looking awesome for that wedding. When is it again? Where did you pick for a honeymoon? I guess I could go back to WW but I really don't want to work weekends anymore and that is what I'd have to work to make okay $ there. I know beggars can't be choosers.
SJP: I can't imagine all that snow . . . be careful!! Work hasn't been called off? Do you think it will be?
Good Afternoon.
I feel a bit better about things than I did yesterday, thankfully. Most likely because I have been too busy to really dwell on it.
Did anyone else hit that sale on Running Warehouse? If not, I think it is still on for another 40 minutes. There is an extra 15% off using discount code FB15D. I bought myself a new pair of Adrenaline GTS12's (freaking $62!!!!!!!) and a pair of Zenah Calf Sleeves.
RR: Last night was 4 miles and I am on SRD's today and tomorrow for my 5K on Saturday. I might use the total gym this evening though. Part of it is me and the other part is encouraging my daughter to get in gear with a strength program since she is a pitcher.
FR: I did very good once again with my food yesterday and am on that pace again today....or should I say was. I was so frazzled trying to get out of the house this morning, about an hour ago it dawned on me that I put my pork loin in the crockpot and forgot to turn the stupid thing on!!!! UGH Guess the kids and I are dining out tonight. LOL
NRR: My daughter is a freshman in HS and softball season is here. This is the sport above all others that she loves. And I get to kill 2 birds with 1 stone on this since my step daughter is a sophmore (they are actually only 3 months apart but thankfully different grades). We had an impromptu boosters meeting (there hasn't been boosters in about 3 years) last night and decided we need to get our act together and get going with fundraisers etc. Needless to say, me and my big mouth were appointed Treasurer. That works for me. The only thing I will certainly not enjoy about boosters is having to deal with my DH ex-wife due to DSD on the team. She won't be at half the meeting or games anyway, but still, if could wish for a person to drop off the face of the planet, she is definitely it.
Mia- I had a job like that when I first moved to the boonies 6 years ago and I stayed there for a year....THE WORST experience of my entire life having to deal with people like you are describing. I literally had typed up my resignation and was about to hand it in when they called me into the boss' office and laid me off. THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will find something in your time. Enjoy some peace in the meantime and being able to run during the middle of the day.
Run- A swim sounds so wonderful! It makes me wish I still had my YMCA membership. Enjoy your run later.
SJP- I take it you are somewhere north of NYC with that forecast. Stay warm, and I hope you keep your power. I grew up on LI, so I know the Noreaster storms all too well.
Snow- Hope you are having a good day.
Goals for 2013:
Run 10K Race- ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
Run HM
2-9 Kittanning Rotary Club 5K 44:38 on ice UGH
3-9 New Port Richey, Fl Pasco Challenge 10K- 1:22:55
5-12 Komen Pittsburgh Race for the Cure 5K
7-6 Ford City Heritage Days 5K
8-4 Pittsburgh Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon
9-29 Richard S.Caliguri City of Pittsburgh Great Race 5K
Afternoon(to most of you)
RR- I took the day off yesterday and went to the beach instead. Its pathetic how close I live to the beach and how little I go there. But it was just me and the dog and some good picture taking. Today DBF and I are going for a hike, very steep up until we hit too much snow.
FR-Still trying to figure out how to handle my late night snacking problem. Its a work in progress. The first step is going to the grocery store.
NRR- EMT class tonight. I'm really ready for some hands on stuff. That's how I learn. A lot so far has been book/classroom stuff and my brain is overflowing with words I don't understand yet.
rtr- ...so that's what teachers do on their computers before class. Glad you enjoyed your swim, have a good run!
sjp- I am jealous of the snow storm. Growing up in CO and skiing every winter I love the snow. It doesn't snow to much in SE AK, just a lot of rain.
Mia- Hope your day is better today. Have a good run! Also, now you can run during the middle of the day if you want. I don't normally run til 10:30 or so and I love it.
Jen- I'm glad(kind of) I didn't know about that sale til it was to late. I would love some more running clothes. Most of mine have holes in them from being washed so much. But I'm trying really hard not to spend anymore money- it all seems to disappear so quickly!
Here's a picture from the beach yesterday, hope it shows up.
Here's a picture from the beach yesterday, hope it shows up. ...Obviously I don't know how to do this yet.
Here's a picture from the beach yesterday, hope it shows up. ...Obviously I don't know how to do this yet.
Hi all,
RR: 6 really fun miles with coworker today. She pushes me faster at the start, and I push her faster at the end, so it works out great. Had a good chiro checkup yesterday, neck/back doing well.
NRR: Made some dinner reservations tonight for our anniversary ... I did the math and it's actually 27 years, not 26. Holy moly. Not an exciting evening, but we're thinking we'll use the time to plan a fun trip later in the year.
Mia: So sorry about the job situation, but sounds as if you really dodged a bullet on this one. So glad you were able to extricate yourself quickly! And it sounds like you might have a fall-back position with WW while you think about long-term next steps. Great that you have a run tomorrow with friends.
RTR: You're eating all my favorite foods ... Mexican, portabello, sweet potatoes, yum. Good that your swim went well!
SJP: Sounds like you guys are going to have to hunker down in the snow this weekend. DS's break turned out not to be as long as he thought, so I don't think he's made it over to Sugar Loaf yet. Your dinner sounds great. I often start with a base of black beans and build from there ... can't go wrong!
Jen: Good that you're feeling better about things, and staying busy always helps. But you're also doing awesome at focusing on the runs ... it will pay off! Cool that your daughter loves softball.
Snow: How was the outing with the dogs?

During an interview for the February issue of Allure, the 'New Girl' star also opens up about being a victim of bullying back in the middle school, revealing that girls spit in her face.
Zooey Deschanel might have struck small-screen gold with her Jessica Day role on "New Girl", but she is wary of being hailed the next "It Girl". In an interview for the February issue of Allure, the Golden Globes-nominated actress even admitted that she finds the labeling funny.
" 'It' girl is supposed to be something that only lasts a certain amount of time," so the younger sister of actress Emily Deschanel explained. She went on to say, "They keep calling me an 'It' girl, and at this point it makes me laugh, because they've done that so many times: 'You're it'; 'you're not it.' What is 'it'?"
While she got the "It Girl" label these days, Zooey revealed that she wasn't that popular in middle school. In fact, she found herself as a victim of bullying by her peers. Recalling those years, the "500 Days of Summer" actress said, "Girls spit in my face. People were so mean to me. I'd cry every day."
Not much changed when the 32-year-old was a freshman year at Northwestern University. "I went to Northwestern because I had gone to a really non-traditional high school. I was like, 'It'd be cool to have a traditional college experience,' " she said. "Then I was like, 'Oh, but none of these people understand what's cool about me. My specialness is not appreciated in this place.' "
Despite her past, Zooey described herself as "a very positive person. I get excited easily, and I like to jump around." As for how she protects herself from online gossip and mean comments, the estranged wife of Ben Gibbard said, "I can't go on Gawker. I actually think the writing is really funny, but there is a chance that somebody is undercutting me."

Kickapoo Reservoir - 2005 Survey Report
Prepared by Mark Howell and Robert Mauk
Inland Fisheries Division
District 2-E, Wichita Falls, Texas
This is the authors' summary from a 28-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
Fish populations in Kickapoo Reservoir were surveyed in 2005 using trap nets and electrofishing and in 2006 using gill nets. This report summarizes the results of the surveys and contains a management plan for the reservoir based on those findings.
Reservoir Description
Kickapoo Reservoir is a 6,028-acre impoundment located on the Little Wichita River in the Red River Basin approximately 30 miles west of Wichita Falls. It has a primarily rocky shoreline with flooded terrestrial habitat. The reservoir was within 10 feet of conservation pool (1,045 msl) from January of 2003 through January 2006. Kickapoo water quality is considered good for municipal use, but at times turbid.
Management History
Important sport fish include catfish, white bass, largemouth bass, and white crappie. The 2001 management plan recommended maintaining the genetic integrity of the existing pure northern strain largemouth bass population as a possible source for Texas parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) hatchery brood stock. The reservoir is popular for its white crappie population. Kickapoo has always been managed with statewide regulations.
Fish Community
- Prey species: Gizzard shad catch rate was higher than average for the reservoir indicating adequate forage for game fish. The CPUE for bluegill was also higher than previous surveys.
- Catfishes: Blue catfish were well represented in the gill net survey of 2006, but catch per unit effort (CPUE) was down slightly from 2002. The gill net survey for the channel catfish population showed a low abundance. The channel catfish CPUE was down considerably from surveys completed in 1997 and 2002. However, anglers were observed harvesting channel catfish during the March-May 2006 creel survey. Flathead catfish exist in the reservoir but none were observed in 2006.
- White bass: Few white bass were sampled in 2006 unlike 2002 when record numbers of white bass were surveyed. However, the 2006 creel survey had high numbers of young white bass reported as caught indicating adequate reproduction has occurred during the last two years.
- Largemouth bass: Largemouth bass had the lowest electrofishing catch rate recorded for the reservoir, primarily because of an abundance of flooded terrestrial vegetation that made electrofishing near shore extremely difficult. Subsequent largemouth bass tournaments in 2006 have reported excellent catches of legal size bass. Recent (2006) genetic analysis has continued to verify that only northern strain largemouth bass are present in the reservoir.
- White crappie: The 2005 CPUE was lower than the 2001 survey but higher than in 2000. Natural reproduction continues to be good with adequate abundance of legal-size fish. Crappie were the most sought after species during the March–May 2006 creel survey.
Management Strategies
- Maintain the genetic integrity of the existing largemouth bass population as a pure northern strain population by not introducing Florida strain largemouth bass.
- Continue conducting periodic electrophoretic testing when largemouth bass are collected.
- Kickapoo is recognized by anglers as an excellent crappie reservoir, and historically has been under utilized by anglers seeking other species.
- Populations of catfish, white bass, and largemouth bass are in good shape and should be promoted to increase angler effort.

Date of Defense 2007-06-29 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis research study aims at investigating the potential benefits of using the reinforcement to improve the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of shallow foundations. To implement this objective, a total of one hundred seventeen tests were performed to study the behavior of reinforced soil foundation. The test results showed that the inclusion of reinforcement can significantly improve the soil's bearing capacity and reduce the footing settlement. The geogrids with higher tensile modulus performed better than geogrids with lower tensile modulus. The strain developed along the reinforcement is directly related to the settlement. The test results also showed that the inclusion of reinforcement can redistribute the applied load to a wider area, thus minimizing stress concentration and achieving a more uniform stress distribution. The redistribution of stresses below the reinforced zone can result in reducing the consolidation settlement of the underlying weak clayey soil. Insignificant strain measured in the geogrid beyond its effective length of 4.0~6.0B indicated that the geogrid past this length provides negligible reinforcement effect.
The scale effect on the results of model footing tests was studied using FEA program ABAQUS. Finite element analysis results indicate that the scale effect of reinforced soil foundation is mainly related to the reinforced ratio (Rr) of the reinforced zone.
The failure mechanisms of reinforced soil foundation were proposed based on the literature review and experimental test results. Stability analysis including the effect of reinforcement has been conducted based on these proposed failure mechanisms. The new bearing capacity formula with the contribution of reinforcements to an increase in bearing capacity was then developed for reinforced soil foundation. A reasonable estimation on the tensile force along the reinforcement was proposed. The predicted bearing capacities of reinforced soil foundation by using the methods of this study are generally in good agreement with the field test results of previous research for reinforced sand and this study for reinforced silty clay. The proposed methods also provide a good prediction of laboratory model test results of this study.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/1/2014 (1305 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
SAN DIEGO -- Tiger Woods was posing for pictures with a trophy Wednesday at Torrey Pines, and the tournament had not even started.
He has made winning look routine, particularly on this public course along Pacific Bluffs where he already has won eight times as a pro, including a U.S. Open.
The trophy Woods received on the eve of his title defence at the Farmers Insurance Open was for being voted PGA Tour player of the year for the 11th time.
Woods doesn't take winning for granted, even if others don't appreciate how difficult it is.
That includes his daughter.
Woods told a story of six-year-old Sam being curious about the Torrey pine on the trophy, which reminded his daughter of the Bonsai tree she had seen in Karate Kid.
"She thought that's what it was," Woods said. "I said, 'No, they're a little bit bigger than that.' I had to go online and show her the pictures and everything. I had all these trophies lined up and she said, 'You need to get one of those."'
Woods tried to explain that it wasn't that simple, that he had to play better golf than 155 other guys to earn it.
"She said, 'OK, go do it,' " he said.
And so he did. Woods had an eight-shot lead on the back nine before the final round in a fog-delayed tournament was so backed up it took forever to finish and Woods lost patience.
He won by four shots, and then surprised tournament officials when he wanted to take the trophy home on the plane instead of the tradition of shipping. He did not want to walk in the door as the winner at Torrey Pines without that trophy.
"They put it literally in the middle of the living room," Woods said. "Everybody was dancing around the trophy."
The music cranks back up today -- another dance, his 19th year as a pro.
The tune hasn't changed.
Woods conceded there are things he can't do at 38 that he could when he was 24, such as produce the same speed when he rotates through the ball. But he's also stronger and a lot smarter in dissecting a golf course.
"You're still able to be successful, but you do it a different way," Woods said. "You evolve as you age and I think I've done that so far."
The talk about Woods hasn't changed, either.
Even though the Masters just under three months away, any mention of Woods starts with the majors.
The playoff win at Torrey Pines in the 2008 U.S. Open was the last major he won. He has been stuck on 14 for the past five years, squandering good chances at the U.S. Open in 2012 and the British Open last year.
This would seem to shape up as an important year because three of the majors are on courses where he has won -- Augusta National, Royal Liverpool and Valhalla. The U.S. Open is at Pinehurst No. 2, where Woods has finished third and second.
"I view it as every year is a big year," Woods said.
"Every year that I get a chance to compete and play in tournaments and major championships for as long as I decide to do it... every year counts. Looking back from the beginning of my career to now, I know that I don't have 20 years in my prime. I don't see being 58 and being in my prime. Most guys don't dunk from the foul line at age 58, so it's a little different. But the outlook is still the same.

Early humans drew on cave walls; ancient Egyptians preserved cultural relics in pyramid tombs; and wealthy Renaissance men displayed curiosities in cabinets. But a thing known as a "museum" first emerged in Philadelphia.
Charles Willson Peale was a Colonial artist and scientist whose far-ranging interests produced a hodgepodge of artifacts: portraits, mastodon bones, stuffed birds, plant specimens. He assembled it as the Philadelphia Museum in 1786.
Other museums quickly followed: the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Academy of Natural Science, the Franklin Institute, the Philosophical Society.
"This is the period of of time in which human beings figured out how to change the world," said David Brownlee, a professor of architectural history at the University of Pennsylvania. "Museums were one of the tools that this changing society invented in order to further it on into the future."
Some of those 19th century museums have a hard time shaking off their cultural and philosophical origins. The Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent just spent millions on renovating both its space and its collection. The Wagner Free Institute of Science in North Philadelphia proudly wears its outdated 19th century layout on its sleeve. The Barnes Foundation -- established in the early 20th century -- just wrestled itself out of its Lower Merion home and the charter that kept it there for 90 years.
Brownlee will discuss "Philadelphia, the Museum City," on Wednesday in the Wagner's antique, 500-seat auditorium, 1700 W. Montgomery Ave. Listen to WHYY reporter Peter Crimmins as he walked with Brownlee through the Wagner Free Institute of Science.

Couple wakes up in sinking boat at Kirkland marina
Strong winds made for a rocky and nerve-racking night for many boat owners in Kirkland. But for one couple it was what they awoke to Monday morning that was the scariest of all.
A couple, sleeping in their boat at the Kirkland marina, awoke to a stranger yelling for them to get off their 40-foot vessel that was sinking.
"They were waken up by a jogger," said King County Marine Patrol Sgt. Jim Kanauss. "The winds over night damaged the boats to the point that they began to take on water."
Kanauss said that the boats were moored improperly, which contributed to the sinking. One boat sank to the bottom of the shallow marina waters but the top half of the boat was still visible. The other was still floating, but on its side.
The couple was able to get off the boat on their own but did sustain minor injuries, including one person with a laceration to the head, according to a Kirkland Fire spokesman. Both were treated at the scene. One of the boats had a large piece of the transom broken off, according to the Kirkland Firefighters' Facebook page.
"They had to get down into the water to get off the boat," said Kanauss, who noted that it only took first responders 3-5 minutes to get to the marina.
The Kirkland Fire Department responded first to the call for a surface water rescue at 5:45 a.m. at 25 Lakeshore Plaza. In all, seven units responded to the incident.
The crews found two 40-foot boats sinking independent of each other at the marina.
"Both boats went sailing with the Christmas Ships last night and were moored here overnight," said Kanauss.
Mike Iszley of Seattle was also sleeping on his boat Sunday night at the Kirkland marina after joining the Christmas Ships event.
"I stayed the night and woke up to the red lights from the police and fire rescue vehicles," said Iszley. "I was surprised my boat was the only one left floating."
Iszley said that he did not know the couple in the boat that sank but that he gave the man a pair of shoes as he did not have time to grab any as he exited the sinking vessel.
One bystander said that her daughter was supposed to go out on one of the boats that sank but that she "was glad she didn't go."
Local salvage companies are working through the morning to float the two boats. Sheriff's officials said that the process could take 6-8 hours.
"We see this sort of thing every spring and fall when the wind blows," said Kanauss, who thought that 10 percent of the boats are occupied. "There are more (rescues) at places like Marina Park because people sleep on their boats. But most are aware (that the boat is sinking) much sooner."

I don't have one, but I WANT one! I have the 11.5" skillet and now my kitchen it telling me to add, add, add!!!
seantimberlake's recommendation
I use this pot, like, every single day. It's perfect for soups, stews, sauces, braises, whatever. Equally useful on the stovetop and in the oven, and pretty enough to present at the table. Like all Le Creuset, it's heirloom-quality, too.

Case No 18/9 team came together for a noble cause on Wednesday (August 7). The film unit donated one lakh for an acid victim.
A press meet was organised to announce the same and the cheque was given to acid victim Shruthi, who reportedly inspired Balaji Shaktivel, the original writer of Tamil movie Vazhakku Enn 18/9. They donated Rs 1 lakh.
Shruthi was 16 when she was attacked in August 2002. She was waiting in the bus-stop, when a local lad Rajesh, 18, splashed acid on her face, disfiguring her face. She is unrecognisable now and the culprit is serving his life term sentence in jail.
Speaking at the occasion, Shruthi requested the government to ban acid, which has taken away lives of many girls like her. She also urged that the government should amend tough laws to end the cruel acid-attack issues.
Case No 18/9 is a remake of Tamil hit movie Vazhakku Enn 18/9. The Kannada movie was released last Friday (August 2). Niranjan Shetty, Sindhu Loknath, Shwetha Pandit, Abhishek, Rangayana Raghu, Karthik Sharma and others are in the cast. The film is directed by Mahesh Rao.

Geof Stone Discusses 1st Amendment with 'On the Media'
BOB GARFIELD: Geoffrey Stone is a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He says that if the public and legislators are often weak in the knees about the First Amendment, the judiciary, by and large, has been consistent and resolute, this no more plainly than in 1977, when the Supreme Court granted the American Nazi Party the right to parade its hatreds before the scarred survivors of Nazism.
GEOFFREY STONE: Individuals who had survived the Holocaust were appalled at the prospect that the Nazis would march in their home town, and they basically said that, in part, the emotional distress that would be created by this event justified prohibiting the Nazis from marching.
And the courts eventually held, no, that the First Amendment gave the Nazis the right to march, and emotional distress was not a justification for restricting someone's free speech.
BOB GARFIELD: Now, there's inflicting offense and emotional pain, and then there is the Terry Jones case, the burning of the Quran, that he went through with, with probably the certain knowledge that it would lead to violence and death somewhere among radical Islamists elsewhere in the world. Does that change the sanctity of free speech at all?
GEOFFREY STONE: Well, it certainly raises the stakes because now the harm that's caused by the speech is much graver – death. So the question is, well, can you suppress speech, can you punish speech because it offends people to the point where they actually go out and kill somebody? There the argument is much more difficult, of course.
But, having said that, the same slippery slope problem exists. So let's suppose that we were to hold that the reverend could be punished because the speech led to the death of individuals in Afghanistan. And now let's suppose that instead of that, that the City of New York prohibits the construction of a mosque near the site of, of 9/11, and radical Islamicists are furious at the discrimination against Islam and they go out and they kill people, in protest. Does that mean that we have to allow the mosque?

About Me
Hi! My name is Joey. I am twenty-one years old and will be finishing my second year of college in California. I have a very interesting ethnic background, so I can pull off a variety of different looks. I am looking to do compensated shoots but will also consider shoots on a TFP/CD basis. I view each photo shoot, paid or not, as an opportunity to express my versatility in my portfolio. My goal is to progress over time and eventually excel in promotional work. This is where you come in. I need help gathering some more photos so I can work on putting together my book. I understand that modeling is a very intense world, so I am very open to new things. I take direction well, although I may come off a little shy at first, after a moment I will loosen up! I am interested in a variety of styles for my book whether it is commercial, high fashion, artistic,glamour, fashion or swimsuit, I am pretty much up for anything unique and sexy!!! I am very easy to work with and up for a challenge!
