- She will ask about your age, health and family. Ter China thesis are not private matters.
- She will ask about your financial status and your income. Don't think of this spil mercenary or rude.

They will attempt very hard to ensure your huis, health, clothes and food are flawless.

- Guys are expected to pay for dinners, indeed all expenses when courting. It's a sign of respect which remains a common tradition through most Eastern cultures.
- Lastly, and most importantly, Chinese women are interested te finding a secure future with someone who is respectful them and their family. Don't expect "casual flings".

The most thoroughly corrupt Regime in the nation's history has told the Treasury Department–read, I.R.S–that beginning immediately, the nation's small business owners must "…'certify' that they are not shedding full-time workers simply to avoid the [ObamaCare employer] mandate. Officials said employers will be told to sign a 'self-attestation' on their tax forms affirming this, under penalty of perjury."
Could there be any example of outright thuggery that is more quintessentially "Barack?" Imagine employers being required to swear, "under penalty of perjury," hand over heart and head bowed in supplication to The One that they, as business owners, "have not taken an action that they have every legal right to take."
And could there be a less subtle way to inform the nation's employers that an unacceptable "self-attestation" will result in the swift retribution of the Regime?
In July of last year, Barack Obama announced his politically inspired decision to delay, until 2015, implementation of the employer mandate, the ObamaCare provision that requires businesses with 50 or more employees to provide health insurance or pay unaffordable penalties. It seems the Regime did not want reports of widespread, ObamaCare-prompted layoffs to further damage the chance of Democrats to retain control of the Senate after the 2014 election.
As a result, Obama has directed his IRS sock-puppets to perform yet another unconstitutional assault against certain members of the American public, this time business owners (lest they be tempted to reveal the true extent both of Obamacare-motivated layoffs and of the threats directed by the Regime against those employers who would dare tell the truth about it.)
After all, were it widely known that employers were laying off employees to avoid some portion of Mr. Obama's healthcare holocaust, it would do further damage to the already dismal reputation of a program that cannot provide even marginally adequate healthcare coverage for anything resembling an affordable price.
It's important to note that, according to Regime instructions, employers will not be ASKED to certify the personnel decisions they have CHOSEN to make in response to the requirements of the ObamaCare statute. Rather, they are being TOLD to certify the decisions the Regime has effectively DEMANDED they make–i.e. that they are not "shedding workers" in response to the employer mandate. Should an employer tell the truth and admit that he fired 2 people in order to avoid expensive premiums or mandate penalties, his punishment will be…what? As of yet, the Regime doesn't say. But it's doubtful that all will be forgiven and forgotten. Not when the Regime can intimidate the many by making an example of the one.
And if an intrepid boss decides to LIE when claiming layoffs had nothing to do with the law, he will be charged with perjury. Of course, the charge will be painfully illegal. But when has that stopped the Obama Administration making an example of an individual who has done something legal, but unpopular with our would-be dictator?
t's safe to assume that a certain number of business owners will figuratively tell Barack and Co where to go by NOT signing the mandated pledge. Apart from a near-guaranteed audit by Obama's favorite federal Service, will these courageous Americans be subjected to any other illegal abuse by Regime operatives? That will be the $50,000 question. Can someone who has acted in a legal manner be fined or imprisoned for perjury because he told the truth about what he did? Or as it is put on the Patterico's Pontifications site, the Regime will tell business owners to "attest that you didn't do something you have a right to do — and if you're lying, you go to jail."
We sure are lucky we have a law professor in the White House, aren't we?

If East Lincoln quarterback Chazz Surratt has improved in one area over the course of the season, it�s in his ability to spread the ball around, coach Mike Byus said.
That ability might come into play as the Mustangs host Maiden on Friday in a Southern District 7 2A Athletic Conference first-place battle that�s drawing statewide attention.
�Do I think they�ll try to do something to take Chazz away? Sure,� Byus said. �But we�re pretty balanced. I feel like if you put an extra person assigned to the quarterback, then somebody�s left open to where they can make a play.�
Maiden (9-0, 5-0) effectively shut down West Lincoln quarterback Miguel Corella last week, holding Corella to a season-low 20 yards � 96 below his average at the time. But the Blue Devils might find it a bigger challenge to slow down the athletic and elusive Surratt, the SD7�s top rusher and second-leading passer.
Just ask Bandys. Surratt accounted for seven touchdowns (five rushing, two passing) and 447 yards that night.
Or ask West Caldwell. He passed for five touchdowns and rushed for two against the Warriors last week.
No conference opponent � or any opponent for that matter � has held Surratt below two touchdowns. For the season, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound sophomore has rushed for 21 touchdowns and passed for 22 in nine games.
When Byus talks about spreading the ball around, some of the other players he�s talking about are Surratt�s younger brother Sage Surratt (436 receiving yards, eight touchdowns), Damisho Finandis (375 receiving yards, 2 TDs), Damarius Valentine (336 receiving yards, 4 TDs) and others. In two games, eight different players caught a pass.
Valentine is East Lincoln�s top rusher behind Surratt at 53.3 yards per game.
East Lincoln ranks first in the SD7 in total offense (425.8 yards per game) and total defense (235.3 yards per game). The Mustangs lead the SD7 in scoring at 39.8 points per game and rank second in scoring defense (15.3). The leader in that category? Maiden at 14.9 points per game.
If the offensive averages hold out, then these teams could be in for a shootout as Maiden�s offense (yardage and scoring) ranks second in the league behind East Lincoln. The leader of that offense is senior quarterback Jake McRee, who leads the SD7 in passing at 2,198 yards and 30 touchdowns. McRee�s top targets are Alex White (540 yards, 6 TDs), Kyle Kelly (528 yards, 10 TDs) and Justus Woods (469 yards, 5 TDs).
�They know what it takes to win so we�re going to have to come into the game and execute well, keep the turnovers to a bare minimum and hope that we create a couple of turnovers,� Byus said. �That always seems to be the deciding factor in big games.�
Maiden leads the SD7 in turnover margin at +13. East Lincoln has a +6 turnover margin and hasn�t turned the ball over in the past two games.
The winner of this game will clinch no worse than a share of the SD7 championship and will have a chance to win the outright title in next week�s regular-season finale. East Lincoln closes at West Lincoln while Maiden hosts Lincolnton.
The game has drawn more than local attention because both teams are ranked in the Associated Press 2A top 10. East Lincoln is No. 3 and Maiden is No. 7.
�I think it�s going to be like a playoff atmosphere,� Byus said.

The Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School volleyball team won its pool during but settled for fourth place during a weekend tournament in Chipley.
The Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School volleyball team won its pool during but settled for fourth place during a weekend tournament in Chipley.
The Lady Tiger Sharks won their first two matches, sweeping Holmes County 25-21 and 25-15 as well as host Chipley 25-20 and 25-19 in the opening rounds.
That advanced Port St. Joe out of pool play and into the Gold bracket for the first time in years, said Coach Wayne Taylor.
The first opponent in the winner�s bracket was Freeport which won in three sets, 25-20, 17-25 and 9-15, pushing Port St. Joe into the consolation game.
The Lady Tiger Sharks faced Walton High and lost 17-25 and 19-25.
�I am very proud of the team�s performance,� Taylor said. �It�s the first time in the eight years I�ve been coaching here that we won the morning events and played in the winner�s or Gold bracket.
�The loss to Freeport took a lot of energy from the girls and then to have to play a match immediately after the conclusion of that match was just too much, physically, for them. All in all, though, a very successful day. It shows were headed in the right direction.�
Leading up to the Chipley tournament, Port St. Joe played South Walton and Bozeman.
Against South Walton, the Lady Tiger Shark junior varsity split the first two sets, 25-21 and 18-25, before winning the third 15-12 to clinch the match and improve to 4-1.
The varsity fell in four sets, 25-23, 12-25, 24-26 and 21-25.
Callie Freshren was once again perfect from the serving line with 16 of 16 serves and three aces. Addison Rice and Shannon Pridgeon each had four kills. Alyson Johnson had 28 serve receives and 12 digs.
The Lady Tiger Sharks hosted the Lady Bucs of Bozeman two days later. The varsity and junior varsity each earned straight-set victories.
The junior varsity won 25-5, 25-5 to improve to 5-1 while the varsity won 25-11, 25-13 and 25-8.
Bozeman had trouble handling the Port St. Joe serving, Taylor said.
The JV had 28 aces with Shaye McGuffin providing 14. The same was true for varsity which had 20 aces and a team total of 33 kills.
Fleshren had eight kills and Haley Wood had seven. Pridgeon had six aces and Stephanie Brinkmeier had five.
The Lady Tiger Sharks are now 7-4 overall and 1-1 in district play.

As summer fades into fall, it's time to help lawns recover from summer stress and prepare for the winter ahead.
Keep mowing your lawn as long as it continues to grow. Grow cool-season grasses like bluegrass, fescue and ryegrass, and you want it 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches tall. Warm-season grasses like Bermuda, carpetgrass, centipede and zoysia should be grown at 1 to 2 inches tall while St. Augustine should a bit higher, 2 to 3 inches, for best results.

There has been a great deal of buzz about Fruugo during the last few months. This "biggest startup in Finland", "Jorma Ollila and Risto Siilasmaa venture", "Tekes funds their fun" and "most NDAs in Helsinki" rumoured company is now finally starting to unwrap from their stealth position.
I had a pleasure to be in the first group of non-NDA intros on the current Fruugo beta couple of days ago. This means I have access to their system. I can use it and even buy stuff (which I'm propably gonna do during the weekend). Yes, it's still in beta, but it works!
I'm not going to give you a tour around the user experience of Fruugo, that is being covered already by Startupbin, who attended the same group with me. Also, for screenshots of the service in Fruugo photostream in Flickr.
How's their business outlook?
Instead of judging a system like Fruugo by it's cover, I think we should look at the business model they are providing. Before getting to talk to Fruugo people and seeing how the system will function, I had my expectations high.
I was thinking that this is a chance to make ecommerce really happening by removing the obvious obstacles that have slowed down the wider use of international business
- Trusting the merchant
- Trusting the buyer
- Complex it systems required
- Challenges with international payment systems
- Language problems
- Problems with the logistics
- Problems with customs and other related paperwork
I knew that if Fruugo can solve most of these problems, they will be very successful.
And glad I was, when I was presented how Fruugo will work. Let's see:
Trusting the merchant. Fruugo will check the background of all merchants in the system. They will also make sure that customers' are being served by offering Fruugo customer service – someone to get in touch with and solve the problems with.
Trusting the buyer. Fruugo will take care of the customer side as well. Fruugo has their own "fraud management" system, that clarifies the problems with buyers behaving badly.
IT-systems. Instead of having to invest huge amount of money into websales systems, Fruugo will only need to have an interface with merchant IT-system. If the merchant is not selling online yet, there is no need to start a new multilingual webstore – just integrate the current system with Fruugo, and you're good to go.
International payments. Fruugo has it. Customers pay with the systems they normally use in their country, and in their preferred currency.
Language problems. Not to worry anymore. Fruugo is localised in your own language, but you can also choose multiple languages that you understand. My primary language in the system is Finnish, but I also said I can use Swedish and English. When searching products, I can do a search using any of the languages, and I get the results in my primary language. If I was to seach for "hame", "kjol" and "skirt", I would always get a nice selection of skirts, in Finnish.
Logistics. This is something that may be in their future pipeline. Now the logistics are taken care by the merchant, but is of course automated and supported by Fruugo knowledge.
Customs. At this point Fruugo doesn't really need to help with the customs, since their markets are within the EU. I personally believe this will be solved, once Fruugo expands outside of the EU.
Fruugo will start opening to limited number of users gradually. First they will take Finland, and very soon after that Sweden. It is expected, that Fruugo is available in most of Europe during this spring.
I had the opportunity to talk to Fruugo CEO Juha Usva and VP of Marketing Janne Waltonen about this. They are very convinsing, down-to-earth, cut-the-crap and brightvisioned with Fruugo and their opportunity. No, there is no company jet or huge parties. Fruugo is not hosting huge parties.
They are working hard to provide something that will hopefully change the way people do ecommerce.

How To Grill & BBQ For Fun
Smoking food is an exhilarating leisure activity for the family. 8 Out of 10 households have their private grills for yard barbecues. Grilling has turned out to be a tradition that continues to progress as the equipment improves.
Here's a good resource on BBQing – Click Here
General tools for grilling is now easily replaced by new bbq that offers far more functional applications. Today, the three most frequent types of grills are charcoal, liquefied propane (LP) and natural gas grills. Each uses a different fuel and generates a range of effects on grilled dishes.
The charcoal grill is the oldest form of smoker, but is still commonly used for its advantages over similar types of grills. It consists of three primary parts that are created in a lone event grill support, charcoal, container, and cooking plate.
Bbq support is usually a collection of stainless steel legs consolidate other portions together at a height convenient for cooking. After roasting charcoal inside the cask, cooking plate (commonly made of metal or ceramic clad steel rods) transfers high temperature to cook food and keep them from direct contact with Arne, preventing food from being burned.
Experts in bbqing choose this type of grill because it cooks food favorably. Charcoal arising from charred wood, has a more positive end product on grilled foods.
Unlike liquid propane and natural gas, roasting charcoal has plenty fewer odds to produce chemical compounds that may perhaps affect common chemical changes in the food that is grilled, and can even create a much more gratifying taste. RSA courses in Werribee. Nevertheless, new technologies also has the effects of other fuels.
When the oil is treated, it produces the hydrocarbon chains of assorted lengths. Hydrocarbons are molecules composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
These hydrocarbons could be separated and partnered with other molecules to form a plurality of types of fuel such as methane. A different type of gas it generates, propane, is considered an efficient complementary to coal as a fuel for barbecue burner.
Treated and processed into liquefied propane, it provides as much heat energy as coal in the face of its end product on grilled food is different.
Even as a rule from a portable bottle as liquefied fuel, separates propane from natural gas, and accordingly separates liquefied propane grill from natural gas grills. A smoker using a gas burner contains a different set up so there is altogether much more complicated. It consists of more essentials such as grill cover, starts, and knobs. http://www.whitecard-geelong.com.au
This new bbqing machines does not demand matches or additional external devices to ignite a fire to offer. By turning on the switch connected to the stainless steel tube burners, a spark of electricity created through a process called piezoelectricity, light gas released through the gas bottle. Fire finally heats grilling plate and prepares the food.
There are three main types of bbq:
1) Charcoal BBQ
This is the oldest of the 3 types, and has been around for decades. As the name suggests, the aid of charcoal for heating purposes. Not only does coal deliver temperature, also adds to the distinct taste. This is because of the taste that people are willing to take more time to get ready and sanitize the grill than similar types.
There are a few things in mind. For those who want to do brisquettes, be aware that the liquefied that is used to light up the grill can leave a unpleasant taste in the flesh, if solution is not completely burned out before you start to cook.
A further drawback is the time required for the grill to cool down before you clean it. Coal needs to be replaced after 2-3 uses and cleanup is usually messy.
The Weber Smokey Mountain is a terrific Charcoal BBQ
2) Gas Bbq
Gas grills are the most popular type of grill right now. The two types of gas grills are natural gas and propane.
Gas grills afford a large amount of heat at a continuous temperature. Clean up these grills is easy and with the new self-cleaning option they are so straightforward to clean indoor stoves.
Natural gas grills require an outlet to be connected. This is usually not a problem since most patios one. But it's something you should remember while figuring out where to keep your grill. Only rarely can a grill be a fire hazard, but for most natural gas grill is the ideal choice.
Propane grills also create a good amount of heat is barely a little below those of natural gas grill. These grills are more convenient because they are much easier to move around. This could be a good feature when you want to move your grill around.
3) Electric Barbeque
Electric grills are a relatively new option. In simplest terms, they are electric heaters on wheels and has quite a few advantages. There is no requirement for fuel. You just need an outlet and a cord to plug into it.
A good number designs are self-cleaning, including a lot of ovens interior. Exact temperatures can be achieved and maintained. One small drawback is that because of a few of these useful features, this grill be slightly more expensive.

Apple looks to be assembling a cheaper version of the iPhone 4 in Brazil, according to a report.
Gizmodo Brazil got inside the Foxconn plant in Brazil and managed to take a few images that show what seems to be a run-of-the-mill iPhone 4.
iPhone 5 and iOS 5: What we know so far
However, one of the images shows an iPhone 4 in a bag, the assembled unit having seemingly been rejected for a fault in its camera lens, bearing the code number N90A.
This is significant, Gizmodo says, as this code number has been spotted before, with 9to5Mac last week receiving an anonymous tip that this is the code for a modified iPhone 4 (which uses the N90 code), perhaps with 8GB of flash memory, rather than the 16GB or 32GB usually offered.
iPhone 5: Revolutionary Voice Interface, radical redesigns and other rumours
An 8GB version would presumably be cheaper than the current iPhone 4, but the question that remains is which market it is intended for. We'd guess that it is likely to be aimed at the Brazilian market itself, though it is possible that it will become Apple's low-cost option for all markets.
All will become clear tomorrow, we expect. Macworld.co.uk will have a live text feed from Cupertino so join us from around 6pm BST for all the news.

To celebrate the 1,000th episode of G4's Attack of the Show, Nerf Herder front man Parry Gripp composed this stirring ode to the brave women of video game retail.
While I know Parry from his time with Nerf Herder, with songs like "New Jersey Girl" and "Van Halen" holding special places in my heart, the slightly younger generation knows him as the man behind countless ridiculously catchy YouTube jingles, from "Do You Life Waffles?" to my personal favorite, "Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom". In the video for "The Girl at the Video Game Store", Parry is joined by AotS female host Olivia Munn as the titular girl, with a rather impressive turn at the drums by the show's male host, Kevin Pereira. I am extremely glad they didn't mix those two up, though I am sure Kevin has a very attractive midriff.
The song itself? Despite some painfully forced lines ("At Tekken she'll kick your ass?" Thanks, Yoda), Gripp's signature infectious melodies are firmly in place, and I've been humming the damn thing all day. I hate you, Parry Gripp.

Airport Police Find Girl's Lost Stuffed Dog, Document His Adventures
Norfolk Airport Police went above and beyond their duty after a young girl lost her beloved stuffed dog Cookie Dough. Eight-year-old August "Gussie" Bridges was in the car with her parents when she realized that she left Cookie Dough on a table in the airport terminal. When they got home, her mother Kelly called the airport to see if the missing stuffed animal had turned up. Police officers managed to find the missing dog and decided to have some fun before August returned to pick up her plush toy.
When August and her parents went back to the airport, the cops gave the young girl her dog back along with a photo booklet documenting all the adventures the pretend pooch went on during his brief stay at the airport. Kelly shared the heartwarming story in a Facebook post that quickly went viral.
Guys...Gussie lost her "cookie dough" favorite stuffed animal at the airport last week. I called the airport to let them know, and they called us later to say they found it! She went to pick it up today and they gave her this book and I about cried. Norfolk International Airport you all are awesome.
The police made Cookie Dough an honorary officer, dressing him up and taking photos of the stuffed dog having fun all around the airport. The pup got to slide down the escalators, hang out at the baggage claim, and even got to sit behind the wheel of emergency vehicles.
Kelly told The Virginia-Pilot that August fell in love with Cookie Dough after winning him in a claw machine at a local pizzeria.
"I thought she was going to cry. She had just got it a few weeks ago out of one of those claw machines at Chicho's Pizza with her dad and she was really attached to it."
Steve Sterling, deputy executive director of administration and operations for the Norfolk Airport Authority, said the "police officers just wanted to put a special touch on returning the toy."
"It meant a lot to all of us," Kelly said. "It was just awesome what they did for Gussie."

A few weeks ago I traveled up to Saratoga Springs, NY to visit a good friend from college. While I was up there I got to experience my first "real" horse race. The horse race just so happened to be the biggest one of the season; Travers Day!
The horse race was a great time and unbelievably cheap! For $5 I was able to enter the track and get seating on benches right in front of the fence. Clubhouse seating is $10 and is within the covered stadium. The nice part about the benches up front is that you can bring coolers full of your own favorite beverage at no cost! Pretty good deal, and cheap entertainment, if you ask me!
While I didn't bet on a horse (I mean, I don't know anything about horse racing) I still had a great time! In addition to the horse race it was a great time visiting Saratoga Springs as the downtown is pretty historic. Lots of cool buildings to see, especially for someone like myself who grew up on the West coast. Lots of great bars too!
The day following Travers I also got to weather the remnants of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene. While originally hoping to make it into NYC the following Sunday and Monday, all of the public train lines were flooded and thus we stayed in Upstate NY. Overall a great trip with a great friend!

Yesterday, I checked out National History Day's website. I got to see the logo for this coming year's theme. And, I like it.
The 2016 theme is "Exploration, Encounter, and Exchange in History." I like the theme because, in my opinion, it focuses on how two things interact and react to form something new or change. Sometimes, that can be a good thing; other times, not so much.
Normally, just based on a literal interpretation of the theme, most topics would be about the 1600s-1800s exploration of Illinois. However, I think wherever you find change, you can find a topic. Wherever you find something new, you can find a topic. Exploration does not have to be a literal geographic term used to explore the earth's surface. Exploration can take place in the mind, in the heart, and in the soul. The change resulting from that encounter can change history and how things are done. The theme can be just as personal as it is geographic.
On this site, here are some topics written about that could qualify as good topics for a project for National History Day.
1. Ernie Banks
2. Diane Nash
4. Edwin C. Rae – Monuments Man
5. Miles Davis and Bitches Brew
10. The Underground Railroad in DeKalb County
14. Howlin' Wolf
16. Ray Bradbury
17. Baseball and the Civil War
18. Charles Turzak
I think you can take almost any topic, research it on a personal level, and you would be able to show change between your topic and what it encounters.
It should be fun to see how this works this year.

Travel to Pennsic may be a little slower in the next few days due to highway construction in the vicinity of Cooper's Lake Campground.
Several individuals have advised the Pennsic Independent that Interstate 79 is under construction in the vicinity of Pennsic, and that U.S. Route 422 is being repaved just west of the Pennsic site, basically the area between Pennsic and New Castle PA. The resurfacing on U.S. 422 is expected to be completed within the next several days.
In both cases, traffic is maintained but motorists may experience delays. Please drive with caution, especially in and near construction zones.

People whose training regimens include intense endurance workouts might actually be at increased risk for heart damage, according to a couple of big new studies released yesterday — but researchers caution that they don't want people to take that as an excuse to skip the gym.
Instead, these results might help doctors figure out why certain people develop irregular heartbeats and how exercise might affect someone who already has heart problems.
How healthy people might end up with faulty hearts later in life
Some people who train intensely more than five hours a week at age 30 are more likely to develop an irregular heartbeat later on in life, especially if they seriously cut back on exercise by the time they turn approximately 60, according to one of the two studies published in Heart, a British Medical Journal publication.
Researchers looked at a group of approximately 44,000 Swedish men, with an age range between 45 and 79 and an average age of 60. In 1997, they asked them how frequently they exercised at ages 15, 30, 50, and their current age.
At the end of 2009, they followed up on the group to see if any had developed atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat, which can increase the risk of stroke, cause chest pain, and even lead to heart failure. In the general population, atrial fibrillation affects almost 8% of people between 65 and 74, with the risk increasing further as people age.
In the group of Swedish men, those who exercised more than five hours a week when they were 30 but less than one hour a week when they were 60 were significantly more likely to have developed an irregular heartbeat than those doing almost no exercise the whole time.
This increased risk held even after researchers controlled for other diseases, body mass index, smoking history, aspirin use, and alcohol consumption.
The results seem to suggest that being sedentary in middle age may be more problematic in some ways for those who were super active at 30 than for those who were lazy all along.
But before you let your running sneakers gather dust, consider that moderate levels of exercise were universally beneficial, and that even intense exercise had protective effects for those in middle age.
Moderate exercise is best for those already with heart disease
In the second study, researchers looked at a group of just over 1,000 Germans who were receiving medical rehabilitation for issues related to heart disease. They followed up with them repeatedly over the next 10 years, checking their heart health and seeing how frequently they exercised.
In this group, about 40% said they hiked, cycled, played sports, or gardened two to four times a week. About 30% said they worked out more frequently than that, and 30% did less, including 10% who said they almost never did anything physical.
Those who did no exercise were the most likely to die of a cardiovascular event, and working out only once a week was also tied to increased mortality. However, the group that was least likely to die or suffer a heart attack or stroke wasn't those who got the most exercise, it was those who worked out a moderate amount: two to four times a week.
Once people started working out five times a week or more, their likelihood of death and other problems rose again, though it didn't get as high as for those who did nothing.
Why this doesn't mean you should cut down on exercise
Both of these studies do match some previous data that says athletes are more likely to develop irregular heartbeats than the general population and that exercise-induced inflammation could overstress a burdened heart. But both come with an important note of caution, which is that they rely on people accurately reporting how much exercise they get.
In the one that looked at the Swedish men, participants may not have accurately remembered how much they worked out at age 30. Perceptions of intensity might also vary greatly from person to person, making it hard to draw solid conclusions from the findings. Plus, the study only looked at men, and women could have different outcomes.
In the German study that looked at those who already had heart disease, researchers relied on participants' accounts of both how frequently and how intensely they worked out. Those self-reports might not be completely accurate.
The researchers mention the caution required when relying on self-reports, which is echoed alongside other concerns in an editorial also published in Heart.
Physicians Eduard Guasch and Lluís Mont argue that these results are helpful for researchers and for doctors advising individual patients, but less important for general workout guidelines. They say that even though being aware of potential adverse effects is useful, there is "no other known therapy" as beneficial as physical exercise for preventing or recovering from heart issues.
Make no mistake: Regular physical activity is absolutely crucial to your health.
"A thin line separates accurate information and unnecessary alarmism leading to inactivity and consequent heart disease," the editorial argues. "The beneficial effects of exercise are definitely not to be questioned; on the contrary, they should be reinforced."

16 game-changing trends and technologies that are reshaping the face of hot rodding
When things evolve slowly it's easy to overlook the distance that's been covered. For example, you might not notice the changes in the mirror every morning, but your high school friends at your reunion will. In the same respect, sometimes to be able to appreciate just how amazingly advanced hot rodding has become in the past several years it requires taking a step back and looking with fresh eyes.
Much like the tech industry at large, revelations, discoveries, and applications of technologies to create new and improved products and custom cars come so steadily nowadays that overall most of us remain largely unimpressed by the latest news. It's just another hot rod with high-end parts, right? That ennui is unfortunate because the people working to advance the hot rodding industry do it out of passion, and that really shouldn't be taken for granted. These guys just want to help us all build better cars.
The result of that pursuit has created a shift in the hot rodding hobby over the past few years; the scope and refinement of the products, parts, and services has become exponentially more sophisticated. That's why we say the greatest and most capable hot rods are being built now. And since you can't stop the forward march of progress, we can only see it getting better. In more than one way, the future really is now.
1. More Shops, Better Shops
The best and most innovative hot rod shops that have ever existed aren't lost to the past, they're out there right now continuing to push the limits. And they're not few and far between any longer. SoCal may have been the cradle, but hot rod shops capable of turning out incredible cars have cropped up everywhere. These days, the next great car that sets the hot rodding community on fire is just as likely to come out of any given geographic region. That makes our job harder, but it also makes them better and the cars more diverse.
On top of that, in the not-so-distant past even the biggest hot rod shops were mostly modest in size and made use of traditional machines that had been around for decades. In today's modern shops, both the scale and the technology are on the upswing. There's a large push toward embracing the latest and most advanced technologies to refine builds because while humans are great artists and designers, computers are much more precise. Even the most old-school builders who still hate email are now often directly or indirectly enlisting digital aid during some phase of their projects.
Check out the production floor for The Roadster Shop (our lead image) where many of their custom chassis for hot rods and muscle cars are made. The scale and scope of their operation is impressive by any standards, and the floor is bristling with precision machinery like the CNC Plasma Table, which can quickly and repeatedly cut accurate parts. Once a rarity or purely an outsourced item, state-of-the-art CNC machines are becoming common in-house equipment. Someone has to operate all that stuff, which brings us to another important trend.
2. Staying In School
It wasn't long ago that hot rodders tended to be along the lines of the self-taught type. But in the same way a toolbox and some driveway experience turning wrenches won't get you a job servicing new cars today, if you want to work with the best shops you need to come armed with more than a love for cool cars.
Learning by doing certainly isn't going away, but to rise in the hot rodding industry now requires coming in armed with much less learning to do. Believe it or not, hot rodding is becoming a destination for highly educated and experienced gearheads, and degrees in engineering and related fields are common. The hot rod industry is actually attracting some of the country's brightest minds.
That's both the genesis and the foundation for the increasing quality and complexity in parts on the market. Love the increasingly wide selection of beautiful billet bits like wheels, valve covers, and drive assemblies? Before any of that can happen, someone has to design all aspects of the part on a computer followed by a well-trained technician creating the program and monitoring the CNC (computer numerically controlled) machining. Multiple levels of expertise are required to make an aesthetically pleasing, functional, and safe part, and it's increasingly moving in-house rather than being outsourced. That means it's a major growth section for anyone looking to get his foot in the door. But actually, that's just brushing the surface of what's coming for future hot rod parts development and production—more on that later. Increased competency is having definite repercussions on the cars that roll out.
3. Blurring of Genres
The imagination, metalwork, performance, and parts in pretty much anything that rolls out of today's shops is literally light-years beyond what was possible, or conceivable more than a decade ago. Cars that might have taken "Best In Show" at a prestigious event in the past wouldn't even be in the running today. Perfection is becoming the new standard; check out the gaps and perfect symmetry running from nose to interior on the '69 Talladega Torino Rad Rides is building for George Poteet. And this is actually just a track car by their admission. When we say that the greatest hot rods and muscle cars ever built belong to this generation, we mean it.
To continually raise the bar and stand out among the masses of new shops also trying to gain recognition, builders have to use everything at their disposal to create cars that are along the lines of prewar coachbuilt classics. The parts and style may be different, but the goal is still the same: uncompromised quality. That's led to increasingly blurry distinctions between genres. There was a time not long ago when you could point at a car and easily name its style of build, but it's not always so easy when track cars are built like show cars and muscle cars are beginning to get street-roddish treatment.
So is the average guy going to be left in the dust? That's not what we're seeing; there's a rising tide effect with the level of projects being created in enthusiasts' garages often coming in on par, and occasionally better than what would have been considered magazine worthy not that long ago. We see it all the time at events like Goodguys; Bob Bertelsen's '72 TA that graced the Dec. '10 cover is a prime example.
4. One-Off Cars = Custom Parts For You
Some manufacturers build cars to promote their parts or services, but traditionally hot rod builders focus on the cars themselves, designing and building one unique creation after another and sourcing or building components as they need them. In the past few years though, we've noticed top builders looking to capitalize on their hard work and make the plunge into manufacturing parts tied to their creations. It's actually smart marketing; a big part of the success of any new part is strong promotion and creating the desire to buy, and there's not much that does a better job than an incredible car that gets lots of media exposure.
The first time we remember really taking note of the ability to buy a distinct part off the shelf from a high-end hot rod was the Ringbrothers' Reactor Mustang. Countless hours went into crafting a body kit unlike any Mustang ever built, and they thought ahead to make molds. Initially, it was just to save weeks of work should Reactor sustain damage, but the parts were eventually made available to the public. The full kit is still available on their website for those looking for the cure for the common Eleanor, though the slick new offering is the '69-70 body kit from Ringbrothers' '70 SportsRoof known as Dragon. If you need a way to stand out among the swell of '69-70 SportsRoofs, this is the ultimate answer.
The July Issue of PHR actually had a double header of high-end cars that spun off parts. The slick '69 Camaro crafted by Alan Johnson featured a gorgeous handcrafted interior. It was so well received, that Alan is working to bring the door and rear quarter-panels, dashpad, center console, and sill plates to market for those wanting to class up their Camaro as well. Have you ever wished you could get some of those awesome cut down and fitted bumpers for your Camaro? Johnson plans to have those available as well (shown, below).
Another example is the '69 Mustang from Bodie Stroud (featured on our July '11 cover), which was hiding a 494ci Can-Am engine underhood and a completely custom full-frame chassis beneath. While most of the details will remain unique to that car, that custom chassis will actually be going into production.
For our part, we hope to see this trend gain steam. Parts spin-off won't sully the exclusivity since you still won't be able build clones of the original cars, but it does allow the rest of us to get a piece of those dream cars. Speaking of dream cars, they've never been more available.
5. New Steel Bodies
It all started with the hot rods that started it all: Model As and '32 Fords. Fiberglass reproduction '32 Ford roadster bodies came out back in the 1960s and developed a mild following, but it's when As and Deuces came out in steel decades later that hot rodders really took note. It changed the hobby forever; guys ready to spend big money on the street rod of their dreams didn't have to deal with overpriced, rusty vintage bodies.
With the ever increasing shift toward the muscle car era for high-end builders, it was only a matter of time before someone stepped up to fill the need. In 2005, Dynacorn released the very first reproduction '69 Camaro body—a convertible naturally. Some weren't sure if it was a smart move, after all, aren't first-gen Camaros readily available? Sure, 42-year-old ones in mostly questionable condition. Perfectly clean cars fetch top dollar and don't make much sense for guys who want to tear everything out to upgrade to the latest engines, chassis, and more. The rest of us were left patching hidden rust and accidents, spending thousands and burning oodles of hours along the way.
Needless to say, they set the hot rodding world on fire, and it wasn't long before we had '67-69 Camaro hardtops and convertibles, '67 convertible and '69 hardtop Firebirds, and '70 Chevelle convertibles and hardtops for sale. Shortly thereafter Ford fans got '67-69, and '70 Mustang fastbacks and SportsRoofs. Hard to believe, but some of the most popular muscle car body styles ever are just an order away—and there's more coming. Mopar fans can rejoice since Dynacorn unveiled their soon-to-be-available '70 Challenger hardtop at SEMA 2010, where they also hinted that 'Cudas could be in the pipe as well, since Chrysler has licensed both marques.
But it doesn't end there; those new bodies are leading to a whole new industry: custom versions of muscle cars ready to order. The Harbinger Mustang featured in this issue is a prime example: just add your drivetrain and go racing. And remember the perfectly chopped roof and widened quarters we raved about on The Real Thing Mustang from Bodie Stroud Industries? Freshly sliced Dynacorn bodies are available for order right now on BodieStroud.com.
In the succession of perennially popular hot rods, something important was missing: the Tri-Five Chevy. And while Experi-Metal has had '55 and '57 convertibles available since 2007, hardtops and sedans are the ones that most hot rods are built from. One of the most iconic and loved styles of all time and the platform that introduced the world to the small-block Chevy hadn't yet found someone willing to invest in creating complete coupe bodies. That is until this year.
Real Deal Steel from Woody's Hot Rodz has filled the gap with complete bodies assembled stateside of pretty much any '55-57 Chevy you could want. Up first are '57 hardtops and convertibles, with '55s and '56s coming very shortly. More of the sedan type? No worries, Woody's will have you covered with options for all three years. Prefer a full roller? Woody's has Art Morrison packages for performance handling, Hot Wood chassis for cruisers, and Full Wood gasser-style chassis. We know these things have us pondering what we could do with a clean slate. How about a featherweight Tri-Five that handles? Make it look like Two Lane Blacktop, but ready to run One Lap of America. Sound good?
6. Lose Weight, Gain Performance
You've heard that old saying, "only steel is real." Well, that may true, but only composites and alloys are light, and decreasing weight is just as good as adding horsepower. Actually, for those of us who like corner carving, it's better, since it makes all aspects of performance easier. That's one area where muscle cars have historically had a disadvantage: weight.
As the interest in bringing modern handling to vintage steel has increased, so has interest in shaving weight—namely aluminum and carbon fiber. That mix is part of what makes the ZR1 Corvette such a formidable performer. Once thought to be limited to high-end builds or race cars, high-end aluminum and carbon-fiber parts for muscle cars is now a burgeoning industry.
Auto Metal Direct and Classic Industries both carry aluminum hoods for '67-69 Camaros, and even full front clips with bumpers for '69s. From what we hear, that whole front end only weighs 54 pounds, or about as much as a stock hood and bumper. That's a lot of weight off where it counts the most.
On the composite side, Anvil Auto has a fast-growing line of carbon-fiber body panels for Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, Firebirds, and Mustangs, as well as carbon/fiberglass blends that save significantly on cost. Either way you go, the weight savings is dramatic.
Lexan, another weight-saving material, previously thought of as "race only," is appearing much more on street cars. The Harbinger Mustang in this issue has it, as does Rad Rides' '69 Talladega Torino, and CorteX Racing's Mustang, both in the July '11 issue. Glass is heavy stuff, and so is the mechanism in the doors to get it up and down. Sure, due to its propensity for scratching and lack of security, it's still best suited on limited-use cars, but for anyone who likes to hit the track on a regular basis, it is an extra edge.
It's not just for sprung weight either. Decreasing unsprung weight can have a dramatic affect on how well a car performs as well. We can actually thank the ZR1 Vette once again for this emerging product: carbon ceramic brakes for muscle cars. Wilwood's new CC rotor not only shaves huge amounts of weight versus steel, it also has better fade characteristics under hard use. For now, 15 inchers (stock ZR1) are the only size available, but there are rumblings of creating more widely appealing 14 inchers.
7. Drag Racing: Not So Dominant
Hot rodding wasn't born on the dragstrip, but there's no doubt that it's been a major driving force behind the culture of making cars faster. Some might even rightfully argue that the rise of quarter-miles across the country and the formation of the NHRA did more to advance the burgeoning culture than any other industry. For several generations the biggest factor behind guys getting under the hood in their garage was the pursuit of quicker straight-line acceleration.
But things are drifting in an undeniable direction. Telltale are SEMA surveys that continually show that the top items on the list for rodders to swap out on projects (or even daily drivers) are the wheels and tires. For several years now, wheel manufacturers have told us that the majority of their sales are in the 17- to 20-inch diameter range. And tire manufacturers tell us that it's the Ultra High Performance Summer tires that are the fastest-growing segment.
Combine that with the general trend toward parts designed for handling and overall performance, the continual decline of attendance at dragstrips and closures, and the large surge in interest and attendance at autocross, open track, and rally type events, and it's clear the tide is changing. It's not just our opinion or provincial sphere; when we speak to shops about what they're building, and what customers are asking about, 99 out of 100 are looking for all-around cars that take corners.
It's becoming a badge of honor as well. Goodguys Street Machine of the Year competitors are required to run through an autocross course, not a dragstrip, and events like the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational are becoming the places to be seen and prove yourself. We can blame OEM manufacturers for this. To be perfectly honest, in stock form, drag racing was really all that muscle cars and hot rods excelled at. OE chassis evolution means that even the lowliest 10-year-old commuter sedan has better dynamics and can out-corner just about anything offered pre-1980.
That has created elevated expectations among hot rodders, most of whom have late-model daily drivers or have at least taken a turn behind the wheel of one. Cruising on vintage suspension that wallows around corners can drain the fun out of cruising in a classic. From our standpoint it seems clear: autocross, road race, and Pro Touring have become the benchmarks for hot rod style and performance.
Does that mean drag racing is uncool? Never! That's why we built our big-block Ford-powered Project Fox. Low e.t.'s will always equal bragging rights, but we speculate quarter-mile specialized cars will be in the minority in the future. Feel free to email us your thoughts/hate mail!
8. Green Power
There's no doubt that when it comes to making horsepower, it's never been easier or more plentiful. These days 500 hp is the new 400, and 300 is not even in the game unless it's a V-6. Some claimed EPA restrictions would be the death of performance, but so far it's been nothing but onward and upward with a nice helping of good fuel economy on the side. There's never been a better time in history to be swapping bigger and more powerful modern engines into vintage steel.
Actually, those same emissions regulations have led to a heretofore unheard of move from an OEM manufacturer: GM's E-Rod program. Smog-era malaise is a now a nonissue, since a properly installed E-Rod provides a clear path to 430 naturally aspirated horsepower that idles peaceably, gets respectable mileage, and blows EPA-approved air from the pipes. We took that path for our EcoNova project with an LS3 package straight from GM's Corvette assembly line. Can you say perfect daily driver muscle car?
Want more? We've even heard of rumblings about homologating certain 50-state parts from the Camaro to also be legal on E-Rod swaps when properly installed, since there's effectively no difference beyond the wrapper. Yes, that could mean emissions-legal blowers and turbos in muscle cars. Packages like the E-Rod (and a similar program that may eventually be offered through Ford Racing based on the Coyote) will be important assets down the road as emissions regulations get more restrictive. Even more importantly, the fact that these programs even exist and are getting OEM support represents an important shift in how the hobby is being viewed by the outside world.
9. Boutique Power
On the flip side of the Green Power coin, we've got the biggest boom in classic boutique power ever seen. PHR's Engine Masters Challenge gives us a front seat to the innovation and modernization of vintage engines, and we've been noticing a distinct resurgence in popularity of fringe engines. And more importantly, new parts with design tweaks are letting them make real power and living to tell the tale afterward. Some of the best developed are John Kaase's Boss 429-based Fords (shown here), which don't actually use a single FoMoCo part, and range up to 1,000 streetable horsepower. Dart has even recently breathed life into the perplexingly powerless GM 8.1L with a new set of heads and intake that should clear up most of the biggest big-block's woes. For the ambitious, new blocks are even available with the typical round of Dart strengthening.
Hot rod shops are noticing the swing in interest toward boutique power and are responding with everything from first-gen Hemis and modernized Y-blocks, to Nailheads, Ford SOHCs, Pontiacs, Cadillacs, Oldsmobiles, Chevy "W" power, and even a sampling of European exotica V-12 powerplants. Old iron is making a big comeback, and it's never been more powerful or reliable.
10. Self-Learning EFI
What's the worst part about upgrading to EFI? Tuning it, of course. Complicated software with dozens of parameters and tables is much more esoteric than the familiar screws and jets on a carb. That fact has been the number-one reason most rodders have stayed away from EFI, but that's all changing; plug-and-play self-learning is finally bringing EFI to the masses.
The latest crop of self-learning EFI systems requires no professional tuning whatsoever; they really are just bolt-on and crank. Some systems may require a few brief easy questions answered, like engine displacement, but when it comes to making it run spot-on, that's all handled by the software and your right foot. The learning comes from the computer adjusting parameters based on engine demands and your driving style.
They're not just for cruiser cars either; today's self-learning systems—like the Holley system shown on the next page—can handle even aggressive performance engines making big horsepower. Like weekend corner carving or quarter-mile blasts? No problem; FAST tells us that their EZ-EFI system can handle the needs of the vast majority of their enthusiast customers. You even get two flavors: standard port injection style with fuel rails, or throttle body style for the ultimate in stealth. Check out the special feature in this issue (see "Ingenious Injection," p. 54) for the lowdown on this growing EFI trend.
11. CAD and FEA
Remember what we were saying about staying in school if you want to be at the forefront of the future of hot rodding? Here's a prime example; use of both CAD and FEA is rapidly on the rise in the top tiers of the hot rodding industry. Computer-aided design has been an indispensable tool for engineers needing to create precise 2-D and 3-D models of parts before production for a couple decades now, but what quickly became common at the OEM level was still quite uncommon to hot rodding until recently. Now, it's exploding with just about every new part. On top of that, we're also seeing hot rod shops increasingly employing CAD to design specific parts for projects—especially if those parts may also go into production afterward.
Perhaps ironically one of the biggest beneficiaries of the technology has been full-frame conversions for muscle cars. With the demise of the Crown Vic's Panther chassis, OEMs have officially abandoned the full frame for passenger cars. Hot rod shops, however, are fully embracing and improving it. The Roadster Shop, for example, creates each new application for their new and expanding Fast Track muscle car chassis line in CAD, then uses their CNC plasma tablet to cut the rails from four pieces of 10-gauge steel. The same chassis that was under The Roadster Shop's phenomenal flat gray '70 Challenger (PHR July '10) is the same one seen in the design here.
Partnered with CAD, there's also a move toward using Finite Element Analysis on some high-end components. FEA helps designers predict the life of a material or structure by showing the effects of cyclic loading. The main application that is making a difference for hot rodders is allowing the simulation of extreme loads and shocks to find where potentially catastrophic defection or twisting occurs. Think spindles, wheels, and other suspension components.
12. The Rise of Rapid Prototyping
Besides being badass, there was an ulterior motivation for choosing the Agent 47 Harbinger Mustang for an issue where we're looking into the quickly evolving hot rod industry. Thanks to its association with a large-scale rapid prototyping company, some fairly high-tech processes were used to create various parts of the car. Most of these processes aren't really new to the manufacturing industry in general, but the fact that they're now being employed to turn out hot rod parts is.
The benefits of rapid prototyping are easy to nail down: less fabrication time, more precise output, and easy design tweaks. It's fringe now, but much like how advanced CNC machines have become commonplace, we wouldn't be surprised to see more creative hot rod parts arising from them in the not-so-distant future, since they can dramatically reduce the hours required to go from concept to reality. Rather than subtractive manufacturing methodologies, such as traditional machining like CNC, these processes are known as additive manufacturing, since they build layer upon layer to create parts. It's CAD to reality in short order.
13. Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA)
Stereolithography uses a vat of liquid UV-curable photopolymer resin (DSM 18420 Protogen resin, in this case) and a UV laser to build physical objects one cross-sectional layer at a time, typically 0.05 mm to 0.15 mm. The laser causes each layer to cure, solidify, and adhere to the previous layer. When needed, a blade sweeps across with fresh resin to create another layer. Eventually, a complete part emerges from the goo, ready for testing.
Wonder what's spilling out of the finished airbox prototype in the photo? Stereolithography requires support structures to maintain the form and position of the layers of resin as the laser is curing it into solid form. The tiny triangular mesh is generated automatically during the design phase and broken out of the part after it's completed. If you really want your mind blown, check out the video of the Harbinger's airbox being created in Forecast3D's SLA 7000 machine on PopularHotRodding.com!
14.Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) .
What looks like a finely cast badge actually started as powdered metal that was literally built up 20 microns at a time. After another fine layer of powder (DirectAlloy 718 for the badge) is laid down by a sweeping blade, a 100-watt laser sinters the metal along the X and Y axes into a solid layer. Much like SLA, a supporting structure is often built along the part that later gets removed. It's all about time here as well; DMLS can create complex metal parts using a wide array of alloys in days versus weeks. Because of that, it's slowly becoming the preferred method over CNC machining or investment casting for prototypes.
Bryan Rogers at Agent 47 admits that they have been using DMLS for five years and people still get caught with their noses to the glass mesmerized by the process. Check out the process in action for yourself in Forecast3D's EOS GmbH M270 machine on PopularHotRodding.com.
15. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
What DMLS is for metal, SLS is for plastics. SLS also has a few advantages over SLA: the ability to build parts without a support structure, a stronger nylon base material, and most importantly, the ability to work on all axes during the build process, as opposed to SLA, which only operates on the X and Y. That versatility allowed Forecast3D to create optimally shaped brake cooling ducts for the Harbinger Mustang's front splitter.
16. Room Temperature Vulcanizing Tooling (RTV)
The Room Temperature Vulcanizing Tool (RTV) was used to create the Harbinger Mustang's headlight/taillight buckets, taillights, center console, shifter arm, vortex generating quick jack access ports, center caps, horn button, push-button starter, and armrests/door pulls.
Forecast3D actually developed in-house an innovative take on RTV tooling, dubbed ProCast, that it uses to create parts. RTV usually begins with a model made from SLA, which is then used to create molds from various epoxies, urethanes, silicons, or even medical-grade materials. Typically RTV is used for short-run parts, since the molds will quickly degrade, but considering the wide appeal of the parts created for the Harbinger, we wouldn't be surprised to see more permanent molds created. Those headlight and taillight buckets, for example, are less than half the weight of originals, while fitting like stock.
In The End …
To survive changing times, interests, and generational culture shifts, businesses, and even hobbies, have to evolve to mirror society at large. From our view, hot rodding as a whole is moving in the right direction—toward better handling, better built, faster, and safer cars with the highest levels of creativity and technology ever seen. The future of hot rodding really couldn't be brighter!

Felt-Soled Waders and Wading Shoes Are On the Way Out – Effective March 21
Didymo, also known as Rock Snot, is an invasive, non-native alga of cold flowing waters.
Individual didymo organisms are microscopic, but infestations include enormous numbers. Each individual produces a long stalk from the stream bottom resulting in a yellow-brown slime layer, which can dominate a once beautiful cold water stream.
Didymo is gross, and it can obstruct fishing to the point of being insufferable.
Didymo has also caused destructive changes in stream biology in some of the finest cold fishing waters on the planet.
Resource managers in North America and New Zealand suspected early on that the felt-soled waders and boots of traveling fly fishermen were the pathway for its spread. Subsequent field and laboratory research has confirmed that the felt used for waders is an ideal medium for collecting and transporting microscopic organisms.
DNR scientists and anglers have found seasonal infestations of Didymo in the Gunpowder River and traces of the organism in the Savage River.
Other diseases and injurious species such as Whirling Disease, which is fatal to trout, may be carried on felt soles.
Felt has been banned from New Zealand streams since 2008.
Alaska and Vermont have moved to prohibit felt soles.
Maryland is doing the same.
Maryland's proposed regulation to prohibit felt soles in all waters is scheduled to become effective in March 2011. DNR welcomes public comment until February 28 via email, email@example.com or mail, Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service, ATTN: Felt-Soled Wader Ban Regulation, 580 Taylor Ave., B-2, Annapolis, MD 21401.
