I awoke this morning (like many others I suspect) to the news that Terry Pratchett had passed away.
|My first Terry Pratchett novel..
I would consider myself a big fan, although not a 'fanboy' i.e. I don't own all the Discworld novels or many of his other publications, apart from a signed copy of Johnny and the Bomb... and of course the EXCELLENT Good Omens co-written with Neil Gaiman, nor do I own many supplemental publications except The Science of the Discworld and A Blink of the Screen.
I was introduced to his writing in about 1988/89, when a mate of mine at school pressed his copies of The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic into my hand and told me I had to read them. We were all playing a bit of Truncheons and Flagons* in our spare time so the parallels and general amusements were many. I was hooked. A few years later I was drawn into the grimdark of 40k, which is quite the polar opposite.
* +1 Internet if you get the reference
My response this morning to Terry's passing was one of extraordinary deep sorrow and grief. Perplexed at why it has really affected me - I never did much analysis on why I enjoyed the books so much other than they were excellent sources of light hearted yet quite biting satirical commentary on all sorts of things we as a society display - I have come up with a couple of personal reasons.
- The Discworld series was a balance to my love of the 40k universe - the light and wit of the characters and stories (although Lords and Ladies is a bit dark...) vs the dark and hopelessness of the 41st Millenium
- My father passed away last year - he also was possessed of a keen wit, had a white beard for a long time (although not as nicely trimmed), and ultimately suffered from dementia, so there are some vague parallels there
- While the 40k Universe and Black Library publications continue to roll on, the Discworld series will be no more - it is the end. It has ended without an End Times of any sort.
Sadly I noticed that my copy of The Colour of Magic has disappeared from my collection :( , which shall have to be replaced (unless I can remember who I lent it to).
Terry's publications brought laughter and happiness to many people.
Let the Bell of Lost Souls in the Tower of Heroes toll.

As you may have discovered in the last several hours, the "public" wifi network works fine in the Steinbeck Forum, but it's non-existent in the DeAnza rooms. Bill Spence, our CTO, came to the rescue and has plugged in a router. Look for the Schmi-Fi network, enjoy — and give Bill a big thank-you when you see him around. (Hint: He's also the guy you see silently slipping in and out of all the conference rooms, getting all the speakers' slides up and running.)

Salon's David Masciotra claims we shouldn't consider the military heroes. No, seriously. This weekend he wrote, "It is a particularly childish trait… that insists on anointing all active military members and police officers as "heroes."
Call me crazy, but I think anyone who willingly places himself in front of bullet for me is a hero. And anyone who voluntarily serves our country, knowing that service means she could see active duty, is a hero.
Mr. Masciotra calls out the bad apples of the military and law enforcement to bolster his claim that we should no longer revere our service members. Yes, there are some who have abused their power. But there are exponentially more who have not and who have acted in our stead, who have fought to provide us the very freedom that allows stupid people to write for magazines.
He claims we're not in any wars right now where our freedom is at stake, thus the sacrifices of the military don't rise to heroic status. But they serve whether they agree with the policies or not. Soldiers are not politicians.
Mr. Masciotra's beef is with the wars being fought, but unfortunately, he's taking it out on the men and women who serve instead of on the people who decide where the military serves. If you want to be mad at someone, Mr. Masciotra, be mad at the suits in Washington, not the military.
The actions of the military have given you the right to write what you want, Mr. Masciotra. And they'll defend that right, even at the point of a gun.

Challenges With Products in Hubs
We've had a lot of Feedback on Products
As HubPages evolves, we try to make sure we are building a high quality site and adapting to standards that will help the overall health of HubPages. There has been a long history with products placed in Hubs and over the last several weeks we have collected guidance and best practices to help the overall site from very authoritative sources.
A quick look back.
- Product Hubs with long lists of products were effective at getting traffic and converting sales
- Panda crushes the site
- HubPages gets manual spam actions for products
- HubPages makes policies limiting the placement and number of products allowed in Hubs
- Hubs with products get defeatured for spammy elements
I believe that there are at least three challenges with adding products to Hubs that can adversely impact the health of the overall site.
What we Believe Now
In general we believe, Google's algorithms look poorly upon articles with Amazon affiliate products.
There are multiple reasons why this may be the case. I'm going to share my current beliefs and reasons.
#1 The Page Looks like a Traffic Funnel to Amazon
When a page has lots of Amazon products, it appears to look like a doorway page. We know that pages can have substantial information supplemented with an Amazon product for each item listed. These types of guides can be very helpful with lots of depth, a high level of curation, or just helping people decide quickly what product is best for them.
Even with these positive benefits we believe that there are multiple issues with pages like this, although we can't be sure if this is assessed by a page layout algorithm or by the actual clicks that are sent. What we do know is that Google prefers to send people directly to the page on which they will transact. Putting several Amazon products in a page will make the page look and function like a doorway page with the appearance that it's purpose is to send people quickly through to Amazon.
If you think the user performed a query, clicked through to your page with the intent to transact, and the use of the Amazon capsules is placed on the page to quickly send them to Amazon, that is highly likely to be spam.
HubPages is primarily informational. Users need to be educated, informed or guided in so after they have spent significant time consuming the information, they may click through to purchase a single well chosen product because the guidance is so high quality. That would be a good use of placing an Amazon product guided by today's standards.
Keyword Stuffed Product Titles
Not until it was brought to my attention did I realize how keyword stuffed a syndicated product title from Amazon may be. Previously I mentioned we had hired some folks to help us with SEO. One of the things that has been identified as an issue is keyword stuffed Hubs. We've done some early work and I believe this is a significant issue impacting the health of the entire site.
Each Amazon product has the potential to add a keyword stuffing penalty to Hub.
Amazon cookbook KW Stuffed Example
Products inserted into Hubs act differently than ads because their contents are part of the page and indexed by Google. Each product title that is keyword rich has the potential to take a fine Hub and move it into a low quality spam bucket. It's a fine line, but our advice is only add essential products and look closely at the product title to make sure it's clear and concise and only has essential information. Tip: Choose products with concise titles.
A few things to keep in mind.
1. Product titles are all linked so it is even more problematic to have long keyword rich anchor text titles linking out. Tip: For essential products, consider adding a direct link instead of the capsule if the data is overly keyword rich.
2. Every product added to a Hub may compound the keyword stuffing problem. Tip: Avoid overlapping products.
External Content Duplication
One of the things Google's algorithm does is filter out duplicate content. For ecommerce sites that receive factory descriptions they can get filtered out of the search results because they are essentially showing the exact same content that many other sites are showing as well.
On HubPages, we are essentially adding products with the exact same meta data that are shown on thousands of other sites. Each time we add a product, our content is less unique.
Tip: Limit syndicated products to 1 or 2 tops (most hubs shouldn't have them at all).
Over Monetizing the Page
We've heard directly that the value a site extracts from a visitor relative to the value it provides can influence the rankings of the entire site. What this means for us, is we have several ads on the page and when several products are added, we are likely on the wrong side of the algorithm.
Ideally, we would know how many ads to put on a page or whether or not to display products on a Hub by Hub basis. If you look at Google search as an example, many queries return no ads. Some queries return a few ads, and for really commercial queries there can be so many monetized elements that the average consumer doesn't even realize they are clicking on an ad.
We need to figure out a way to do this better. It's something we are working on and in the meantime, it would be helpful if folks were very judicious with their use of products.
Tip 1: If a Hub is regularly converting with Amazon sales, turn off ads. There are two benefits of this. Hubs without ads load much quicker. Ads often cannibalize clicks on products for a much lower value. I've done this for my best performing Hubs with products and anecdotally, I believe I'm making more per visit than I was with ads on.
Tip 2: If your Hubs aren't producing sales or if a certain product is never selling, remove the product from your Hub.
Closing Thoughts
Amazon provides a significant chunk of our revenue and it's a fantastic partner. At the same time we believe that it's a relatively small number of product placements that are the most effective at driving sales.
My hope is we can become smarter together on how to use Amazon products surgically in our Hubs to provide great value to readers and to help monetize the site effectively.
Happy Hubbing,
My earnings with HubPages has really improved lately and I appreciate all the adjustments that are being made to the site. I receive Amazon revenue through a couple of my articles. I'm going to follow your advice and turn off the Google ads on those particular Hubs. Thank you for this useful information.
jackclee - In reference to your last comment above, you can specify a URL different from the title when you first create a hub, but not later. It's immediately above where you specify the title. You click "edit" to change the URL from the title default and then click "save" to save it.
With regard to keyword stuffed Hub Titles, a simple fix would be limit the Title to no more than Seven words. Since the title also translate to the final URL of the page, this would also reduce the length of the link. Good insight overall, any information to help hubbers to create better content is welcomed.
This is Google's perspective on doorway pages
"An update on doorway pages"
It doesn't seem to me to be the same as the interpretation of the concept that you have alluded to in this hub.
Could that be why hubs (with multiple Amazon modules) which have been unfeatured on this site do well when their content is placed on another site - because they genuinely do add value and offer benefits to readers?
PS I've already started turning off my adverts.
Is it possible (or even a good idea) to write some code that limits the Adsense ads in proportion to the Amazon ad. With one Amazon product, leave as is. But for every other Amazon product, take an Adsense ad away. If it is done automatically, Hubbers don't have to do it. For people who would prefer to rely on Amazon and Ebay instead of Adsense, it makes sense.
Paul, if you really want to get this right, you have to change your policy about allowing old hubs to keep their ads until the owners edit them. That is, I believe, where the real problem lies.
When I check hubs every so often, I see the most blatant spamming going on...and yet, there the hubs still are. How many you still have on this site, I don't know, but I suspect they represent the majority of hubs that are far too heavy with ads. Grandfathering is not working and frankly is unfair to those of us who do limit our ads because those writers are earning much more than the rest of us. This is not right and certainly lowers morale.
The truth is that there are many articles that should never have ads on them, but there are others that need them. The problem comes when people abuse their right to monetize their hubs or have never learned the proper way to do so.
Your problem here is that if you rid the site of the abusive practices, many people will leave because they will feel they have lost the opportunity to earn. If you leave them, you have the problems you just discussed.
Somehow, you must find a way to balance these issues so that the site can survive.
For many here, the earnings from ads exceed or equal those from the articles. I'm certain they will not want to delete them.
Good luck with this one. I don't envy you these choices.
I suggested a couple of years ago that keyword stuffed product info from Amazon was a problem and suggested HP find a way to eliminate it.
Surely there is a way of doing that?
If it is too tough technically to do this at HP's end perhaps you could try to convince Amazon that its ad delivery is flawed and damages all of its affiliates.
Individual hubbers can exercise their judgement, too. Avoid those long strings of nonsense that pollute your page!
The idea of fewer ads within the content of our hubs is a good one. Since I rarely sell an Amazon product I'm thinking of deleting all of the added capsules. I am still seeing a lot of hubs with three or four ads for the same product.
It's funny that below your hub is an Amazon ad for mop buckets labeled essential business supplies. The bot must have imagined a clean-up in progress.
I think I am a little confused. Turn off ads from hubs which are converting with Amazon! Which ads do I turn off, how and why would I do that?
One month I earned as much from Amazon as I did from HubPages. More often than not the products purchased from Amazon/E-Bay relate directly to those which are needed to do one of my a felting tutorials. Looking at this hub, I see four ads, none of which are Amazon Ads. I am most unlikely to click on any of the ads shown because none of them interest me or relate to this hub.
Very useful and informative post. I very rarely use the amazon or ebay capsules. You can see it from my hubs. I already objected at the policy of allowing one capsule per each 100 or two hundred words that was set as maximum target by HubPages some months ago. I propose one hub should contain only one capsule, if it is necessary at all.
Paul, I think you need to limit the proportion of published hubs each hubber has that contains Amazon capsules/links, say to 20 or 25 percent. So for every hub that contains products, they need 3 or 4 that are product free, info only.
I like the idea of turning off the ads. Sometimes there are way too many and most times they have nothing to do with the hub's content. I really hate the ads that show up in video form. They're distracting.
Yes, I also think that is a good idea to turn off ads on hubs that are converting for Amazon. I'll try it on one or two I have and see what happens...
Excellent information! Keyword stuffed product titles drive me crazy even as a consumer, but it didn't occur to me how they are seen when the page/article/hub is being indexed by Google. I read another article just this morning about keywords becoming less and less important and rich content becoming more and more important. Hmm, seems I've heard that before about content. What goes around comes around, yes?
This is powerful information! Thanks Paul. The two tips you have near the end are very important. I have always been aware of the idea behind tip 2. I have removed Amazon capsules in the past that never were selling anyway.
But tip number 1 came as a surprise to me and makes perfect sense. I have two hubs that do quite well with converting Amazon sales, as I'm sure you know from monitoring the progress. So now I am going to turn off ads on these two hubs as you suggested in tip 1, so that no ads are left to cannibalize clicks on Amazon products. It's going to be an interesting experiment that can pay off really well. I see how powerful that might be.
Good info and it what I kind of thought about Amazon product ads and why HP policy is what it is.
What about a non-keyword stuffed capsule title, such as a generic,
"Check this out here."
No naming of or reference to the product, and no duplication either. Often, in the cases where I do use Amazon capsules, I don't put any capsule title at all--just let the capsule stand on its own merits.
On my own sites, I don't limit number of products and my sales have left the other platforms I used for 3 years in the dust. My traffic has also left the platforms used in the past in the dust. L

Arizona is poised to introduce America's toughest laws against illegal aliens in a move that is focusing renewed attention on the country's dysfunctional immigration system.
The border state, which has an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants, plans to give police the power to stop and detain people who do not have legal papers.
It will also ban ''illegals'' from congregating on street corners to look for day labouring jobs, while making it an offence to employ or transport them.
A committee of the state legislature will start examining the proposals today. They have already passed the Senate and must be reconciled with a bill in the House.
Observers expect the proposals to become law within weeks, adding pressure on President Barack Obama who pledged to fix haphazard immigration rules in his first year in office.
Several thousand people descended on Washington last week, calling on the President to make good his pledge to give legal status to millions of illegal immigrants and create a more orderly migration system.
An estimated 12 million illegal immigrants live in the US, many of whom work menial jobs. However, resentment has intensified as employment opportunities have shrunk during the recession.
Civil libertarians have labelled the proposals, which essentially make undocumented entry into the state a criminal trespass offence, as unconstitutional and inhumane. They say the laws could encourage racial profiling.
But Russell Pearce, the senator who sponsored the crackdown, countered: ''When you come to America, you must have a permission slip, period. You can't break into my country, just like you can't break into my house.''
He said the bill would give police a weapon against lax federal enforcement of immigration laws. ''It will be, there's no doubt, the toughest immigration enforcement bill in the nation,'' he said.
Immigration advocacy groups have lobbied hard against the bill. ''The really dangerous impact is the creation of a new state crime related to trespassing,'' Jennifer Allen, director of the Border Action Network, told the ABC network. ''If law enforcement has a reasonable suspicion that someone is undocumented, they can be stopped and forced to prove they are a US citizen. If they can't prove it, they can be arrested.''
The legislation has the support of the Republican Governor, Jan Brewer, which is adding to the discomfort of John McCain, the party's 2008 presidential candidate and a long-standing Arizona senator.
Facing one of the toughest primary challenges in his 27-year career, Senator McCain previously supported a bipartisan push for an amnesty for illegal immigrants. He has declined to comment on the proposals.
But challenger J. D. Hayworth, a former Republican congressman, supports the bill and has attacked Senator McCain's silence.
He told a weekend rally: ''It is unconscionable that nearly a decade after 9/11, the back door of the United States remains open. Our senior senator is looking at this entirely the wrong way.''

Hockey - U13 1st VII vs RHS
Won 4-2
Finally a win! The boys played a superb game with great team work covering the few and far between mistakes. Hamish I scored early but RHS were quick to equalise and it felt as though the momentum had suddenly slowed. Superb running from defence by Matt B and strong individual play from Hamish put us up to 3-1 by half time and although RHS clawed the game back to 2-3 but the icing on the cake came from yet another goal from Hamish to give us a comfortable 4-2 win. A thoroughly well deserved result for the whole team.
Mrs Goldring
Hockey - U13 2nd VII vs RHS
Lost 3-2
A very close end to end game which started well with James N executing a well timed flick into the top corner but RHS were quick to equalise. A superb run from defence and well timed passes from Oscar D and James N allowed Charlie A to slip the ball past the keeper to put us up 2-1 at half time. Maybe the boys relaxed too soon but RHS managed to score 2 more in the second half despite some superb goal keeping from Peter M. It was a shame to lose but the overall play was so much better than previous weeks that I was pleased with the outcome and proud of every member of the team.
Mrs Goldring
Hockey - U13 3rd VII vs RHS
Lost 2-5
Holmwood's Year 8s had a fantastic first half and the score was 2-2 at half-time. A few mistakes in the second half and the score ended 5-2. Oliver J was amazing in goal and saved many accurate shots. Oscar C and Lance L-R scored the goals for Holmwood and the rest of the team tried exceptionally hard throughout. A good learning curve for all involved. Well played!
Mr Earley
Hockey - U13 4th VII vs RHS
Won 1-0
Holmwood had a fabulous game. They all defended well and attacked well together. The final score of 1-0 is a reflection of the hard work involved throughout. Oliver R was fantastic in goal and saved many accurate shots. Elliot W, Dominic T, Jack G and Will D all worked hard in defense and managed to foil plenty of attacking opportunities from RHS. Ethan W, Max G, George S and Max D each had their opportunities and Max D took his with great effect, scoring from 10 yards out with a spectacular smash into the back board. A great learning curve for the whole team and success at last! Well done for the term.

Initial orientation courses for asylum applicants
The initial orientation courses for asylum applicants focus on everyday life in Germany. The courses offer you important information and an initial knowledge of the German language, so as to help you find your bearings in Germany.
Target group
The initial orientation courses are aimed primarily at asylum applicants who originate from a country which does not have a high recognition rate (good prospects of staying in Germany) but which equally does not constitute a safe country of origin.
Should places still be available after covering this main target group, asylum applicants with good prospects of being able to stay in Germany may also attend an initial orientation course, if they are not (yet) able to take part in an integration course.
People who are required to attend school cannot take part in the initial orientation courses.
Contents of the courses
The courses are based on the concept "Initial orientation and grounding in German for asylum applicants". The following topics are covered:
- Everyday life in Germany
- Work
- Shopping
- Health/medical care
- Nursery school/school
- Use of media in Germany
- Finding your way around/transport/mobility
- Customs and traditions in Germany/local peculiarities
- Talking about oneself and other people/social contact
- Accommodation
- Values and social co-existence
For teaching purposes, the body offering the course chooses five topics from the overall concept which suit the needs of those attending the course. The module "Values and social co-existence" is mandatory for everyone attending the courses. Here you will learn about the fundamental values underpinning life in Germany and how these are manifested in everyday life.
The theoretical contents are complemented by excursions - for example to authorities, a library or the market. These excursions will provide you with additional assistance in finding your bearings and give you an opportunity to put into practice what you have learnt.
Scope of the courses
A course consists of six modules, each comprising 50 teaching units (= 45 minutes), adding up to a total of 300 teaching units.
Participation in the course is voluntary and free of charge. If you are interested in attending an initial orientation course, please contact one of the bodies offering the courses in your federal state. The relevant bodies are stated in the list in the right-hand column. Here you will find the bodies currently offering the courses, together with contacts for your federal state. New bodies are continually being added to the list.

HOPKINTON, NH (CBS) – John Roberge knows he was close to losing his son.
"Friday night we weren't sure what to expect because he was non-responsive to any commands," said Roberge. "To think you're never going to see your son again, it's the worst feeling ever."
His son Chris, a sophomore at Lebanon High School in New Hampshire, had just sat on the bench during the second quarter of a basketball game at Hopkinton, N.H.
"He just got done playing, scored four points, was probably excited, sat down, and he passed out on a friend," said Roberge.
Coaches and parents didn't skip a beat. Chris was having a heart attack.
Dan Meserve, the athletic director at Hopkinton High, did CPR while a parent who happens to be a surgeon grabbed the emergency defibrillator in the hallway.
"We actually had to shock him twice," said Meserve.
It was a team effort that would save the 15-year-old's life.
"Somebody was doing rescue breaths, somebody was on the phone with 911, somebody was cutting his shirt off," said Meserve.
Chris is now doing well.
He'll have a defibrillator placed in his chest on Wednesday. He could be back to school next week.
He should be able to resume a normal teenage life, but no contact sports.
"They saved my son," said his father. "He died and they brought him back to life."

On September 17 the Seattle Symphony kicked off the 2016–2017 season with a spectacular concert mixing old world elegance and new world vivacity led by Music Director Ludovic Morlot and featuring the incomparable mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato.
The Opening Night Gala honored William Gates Sr. and Mimi Gardner Gates for their significant contributions to the Symphony and the Seattle community, and was dedicated to giving voice to the community, supporting the Seattle Symphony's community and education programs in record-setting style. Inspired by a moving testimonial by Joyce DiDonato about the power of music to change lives for the better, and spurred on by generous matching challenges, the event raised an incredible $920,000 for education and community programs.
The Symphony thanks everyone who joined us for the Gala; Opening Night Concert & Gala Co-Chairs Renée Brisbois, Nader Kabbani and Betty Tong; the entire Opening Night Gala Committee; JP Morgan Chase & Co., Nordstrom and the many event sponsors who helped make the event a huge success.

Prevent CO poisoning: Alarm companies should help Californians help themselves
It's now more than a year since California's new law mandating carbon monoxide detectors in all single-family homes with an attached garage or fossil fuel source. However, a new survey shows many residents remain unprotected.
Seems to me there's a marketing opportunity here that alarm companies would do well to take advantage of—to not only help themselves but also California residents.
It's true that the new law, which took effect July 1, 2011, doesn't require Californians to opt for monitored alarms instead of ones they can buy at the hardware store. But in a story I wrote last summer, John Hopper, president of the California Alarm Association, said he believes many residents will chose the monitored option as the safest.
"The state law has positioned us to perhaps increase revenues for the industry, from sales of the devices and associated monitoring," he told me then.
A year later, perhaps this new survey will provide added impetus for residents and alarm companies.
Below is more from a recent news release on the survey, which was done on behalf of Kidde, a manufacturer of residential fire safety products, and the California Safe Homes Coalition. Kidde is a part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
While more than half of Californians are aware of a law requiring residential carbon monoxide (CO) alarms, many residents remain unprotected, according to a survey from independent research group, Qualtrics. Nearly half (46 percent) of respondents do not have a CO alarm in their home despite the overwhelming presence of both fuel-burning appliances (84 percent) and attached garages (75 percent) – the state-determined criteria for installation and primary risk factors for accidental CO poisoning.
The results come on the eve of the law's one-year anniversary on July 1. Nearly half of respondents without a CO alarm stated they know they need one, but haven't found the time to install the life-saving device. Another one-third of respondents believe that they do not need an alarm even though it is the only safe way to detect CO, an odorless, tasteless and invisible gas.
"We are encouraged that many California residents have heard our message, understand the dangers of CO poisoning and have installed an alarm," explained Kevin Nida, president, California State Firefighters' Association (CSFA), a supporter of the California Safe Homes Coalition and co-sponsor of State Bill 183. "However, we urge those who have not yet acted to do so now. Carbon monoxide is perceived as an issue that only impacts cold-weather states, and that's not a safe assumption. We've experienced the tragedy of CO poisonings here in California all too often."
Called the 'silent killer' because many people do not realize they're being poisoned until it's too late, carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It claims 400 lives and injures another 20,000 each year nationwide. California officials estimate CO poisoning causes 700 avoidable injuries and hospitalizations annually.
"I miss my sister every day. Unfortunately, no one in my family knew about CO poisoning until it was too late," said Walnut, Calif. resident Ta Juan Campbell. His sister, Tyra Lynn, died of accidental CO poisoning in her Beverly Hills apartment in 1998. Campbell founded the Tyra Lynn Foundation to raise awareness of CO poisoning. "If you've put off installing a CO alarm, don't wait. It could save your family."
California's law aims to protect families, while reducing the number of associated casualties. A final phase requiring CO alarms in existing multi-family residential dwellings goes into effect Jan. 1, 2013.

Giving myself a six-week time limit via the ORC may or may not put me on the road to madness. Either way, it should be fun for you to watch.
As promised, I put together a design board, with the key feature of the room being the c'est magnifique wallpaper from Anthro. The more I put the sample against the wall behind the white crib, the more I thought there wasn't enough contrast. A quick polling of family & friends furthered that notion.
Perroquet, duh.
I do love me a good parrot.
And so it shall be.
Since I'm using the black colorway, I'll pay extra attention to lighting choices in the room to keep it from being too gloomy. Maybe I can get the hubster to spring for some sconces.
Paper ordered.
Rug ordered.
Hope I can get my paintin' pants on sometime soon!

A Virginia-based charter bus company is the latest motor carrier to be ordered out of service as an imminent hazard to public safety.
Advanced Ventures, of Springfield, Va., was ordered to cease operations by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The company operates a small fleet of motor coaches and mini-buses providing charter services throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
Federal investigators found that Advanced Ventures routinely falsified annual vehicle inspection documents rather than systematically and properly maintaining and repairing its vehicles to meet minimum safety standards, according to a release by the FMCSA.
On-site inspections of five buses on separate dates in May and June revealed a total 39 safety violations with two of the vehicles declared imminent hazards and immediately placed out-of-service. Violations included failing to inspect and ensure that emergency window exits were operating properly, and possessing a stolen inspection sticker.
Investigators also found that the owners of Advanced Ventures repeatedly allowed drivers to transport passengers before receiving the results of pre-employment drug and alcohol tests as required by federal regulations. The company repeatedly dispatched another driver whose medical certificate had expired and had been falsified. Drivers were not required by the company to turn in hours-of-service records or other required documentation such as driving itineraries and fuel receipts.
This action becomes the 14th out-of-service order issued by FMCSA since the deployment on April 1 of more than 50 specially trained "Operation Quick Strike" safety investigators targeting high-risk passenger carriers.
In the past eight weeks, FMCSA investigators have issued out-of-service orders to bus companies in the District of Columbia, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Ohio, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia. Since the beginning of 2013, FMCSA has issued out-of-service orders to a total of 21 bus companies and eight trucking companies. The agency has also declared six commercial driver's license holders as imminent hazards, blocking them from operating in interstate commerce.
A copy of the imminent hazard out-of-service order can be viewed here.

This is the view looking from the backyard side.
The rain gutter downspout and the rain barrel we installed last year is cutting this flower bed into two sections. Right now we just paved the area where rain barrel is located with gravels, and put two stepping stones there. I also planted one Persian shield plant against the wall, and put an Aloe container in front of it. I need to think more about how to use this area, maybe for container plannting so it doesn't look too bared comparing other sections of this flower bed.
This flower bed is located the west side of the house, and the neighbor's house blocks some of afternoon sun, so I consider it is a partial sun area.
|West side garden left section
|West side garden right section
In front of Plumeria rubra are five Amaryllis bulbs. I bought these five bulbs last December, and they finished blooming at the end of December. I hope by putting them into the ground can bring second round of flowers this year, or at least rebloom next season. At the back of this section, I moved two Cordyline fruticosa 'Kiwi' from other part of the garden. In addition, another dragon wing begonia, one very young Mussaenda luteola (Mussaenda White Wing) from cuttings, and a Cuphea ignea (Cigar plant) were also squeezed in.
Have you noticed that I used "squeeze" twice already? Yes, in my tiny garden, space is at premium, so I am used to squeezing plants into the flower bed when they are still young. Only if they grow out of the allocated space, I move them into another location. I am sure I will do quite some "moving around" for the next a couple of months depending on how the plants perform in their location.
As I said earlier, this flower bed is just nearly finished, still have some work to be done.
A view from last year June.... Notice the border is still the old black rubber border.

I got a voicemail yesterday on my mobile from the Bull and Last telling me that the Spanish wine tasting with Richard Hemming had been cancelled. It was on my first visit to the Bull and Last that I bought tickets, having been so impressed by the food there. It was a runner up in Time Out's eating & drinking awards 2009, Best Gastropub category. But what did it for me was the review in the The Times by Giles Coren.
On our visit we tried the home made charcuterie plate which consisted of delicate slices of duck prosciutto. For the main we choose the braised pigs cheek with foie gras which was cooked the perfection. Sides, we had the triple cooked chips and the scotch egg, both dishes were excellent.
On our visit we tried the home made charcuterie plate which consisted of delicate slices of duck prosciutto. For the main we choose the braised pigs cheek with foie gras which was cooked the perfection. Sides, we had the triple cooked chips and the scotch egg, both dishes were excellent.
The cancellation of course was a disappointment, however the Spanish theme was set to continue. Exactly this time last year I was in Andalucia for a week, it's rugged dry rocky landscape at first looks desolate but delve a little deeper then you come across some if not the best and most exciting food Spain has to offer. During the trip I was fortunate enough to visit the home of Ines Rosales, the home of Torta de Aceite. Ines Rosales is the name of the woman who started out making the these wonderful tortas and sold them by a crossroads near Seville station.
Today the tortas are still made by hand and the woman who make them make around 3 tortas every 20 seconds, in order to do this they need around 3 months of training in order to reach the required speed. The tortas are simply made from flour, baking powder, extra virgin olive oil, salt, aniseed, sugar and sesame seeds. Once the dough is made it's then hand shaped then baked at a very low temprature before being hand wrapped. Ines Rosales is still the only commercial torte de Aceite that is hand made, all other brands are made by machine.
Following on with the Spanish theme on Wednesday evening is good 'ol Jamie Oliver, love him or loath him, Oliver is back with his new series - Jamie Does.
Although I'm not that impressed by the first episode in Marrakech, I'm keeping an open mind and looking forward to the second episode, Jamie does Andalucia. I do think he's got it easy, the landscape and food is purely magical and instantly draws you in.
At the weekend C and I picked up a copy of his new book. Like all cooking books, I use them mostly for inspiration, they awaken the mind and get the juices flowing, well not literally! In the book he skims across 6 different cuisines so its by no means a comprehensive guide to the places he visits. But in true Oliver style he keeps the dishes exciting, authentic and along with great photography it does the job and C and I are both pleased with our new purchase. Friday finishes off our Spanish week with a Tapas evening with friends, raise your glass to Andalucia and let the Manzanilla flow!

Spring storm bringing needed snow to Colo., Wyo.
DENVER (AP) — A slow-moving spring storm is bringing much-needed moisture to parts of the Rockies and the Plains, but winds are raising the wildfire danger to the south.
Rocky Mountain National Park has already gotten more than 2 feet of snow, and more is expected to fall through Wednesday. Southeastern Wyoming could also get up to a foot. It was also snowing in western South Dakota and Nebraska, and the storm is expected to push farther into Nebraska and Colorado's plains Wednesday night.
The first round of the storm came Monday, when Cheyenne, Wyo., received 6.9 inches of snow, breaking the old record of 6 inches set back in 1890. The snow also postponed the opening game of the Colorado Rockies-New York Mets series in Denver. After Rockies co-owner Dick Monfort and others pitched in to dig out Coors Field, the teams squeezed in a doubleheader Tuesday.
Blowing snow closed a 150-mile section of Interstate 80 in Wyoming and caused delays at Denver International Airport because planes need to be de-iced.
"Our crews can easily keep that road surface sustainable for travel, but if the wind comes up and you start get drifting and visibility problems then really you can't plow fast enough to fix that, so it can be a losing battle at times," Wyoming Department of Transportation spokesman Bruce Burrows said.
The storm forced some Wyoming colleges and schools to close early Tuesday, and some state government meetings were canceled. Even a "Storm Spotter Training" session in Lander was canceled because of the storm, according to the National Weather Service.
Meanwhile, parts of Colorado, including the state's southwestern corner and the agricultural San Luis Valley, along with parts of New Mexico and Arizona got strong winds from the system, making it easier for wildfires to spread in the dry areas.
A 33-mile stretch of I-40 in northern Arizona was closed because of strong winds and reduced visibility.
In southwest Colorado, the La Plata Electric Association said blustery winds and downed trees were believed to have caused power outages affecting hundreds of customers Tuesday.
April is typically the second-snowiest month for Colorado and wet spring snows help boost the mountain snowpack that provides most of the water supply. It also helps delay lawn watering in Denver and along the rest of the populated Front Range region, where many water districts have limited watering after two years of drought conditions.
"It doesn't stick around as long, but it gives that soil moisture heading into the drier months," National Weather Service forecaster Jeff Colton said of spring snow.
The heavy blanket of snow does squash daffodils and other plants that have started to bloom, but any precipitation will be welcomed by dryland farmers on the Plains.
The snowpack in both Colorado and Wyoming is below average but has risen in the last week to 77 percent of average in both states.
Most of Colorado's ski areas are already closed for the season, but Vail, Breckenridge and Copper Mountain resorts announced Tuesday that they would open for a bonus three-day weekend this week because of all the new snow. Aspen Highlands, which is still open, plans to open for an extra weekend next week.
The storm system is expected to pick up speed as it moves east into the Great Lakes on Friday. It should move off the East Coast on Saturday, Colton said.
Associated Press writer Bob Moen in Cheyenne, Wyo., contributed to this report.


text: This spirited tour of the origin and growth of the English language, only slightly longer than a picture book, can get boosterish ("in India, gaining education, power, and wealth means learning English"), but illustrates well the simple fact that languages don't evolve in a vacuum. Brook's first book opens on the Indo-European rootstock, then explains how it was fiddled with by the Celts, who subsequently found their language shaped by Anglo-Saxon and Norse influences to arrive at Old English. By the time the French were through with Old English, it had become Middle English. She moves through the addition of Latin and Greek, comments briefly on the Great Vowel Shift of the 15th century and other etymological curiosities, and speculates on the future of English, such as the gradual distancing of American English and British English. Also introduced are significant personalities in the use and development of English, from Gutenberg to Chaucer and Bacon and Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson to James Murray (the fellow behind the OED). Zallinger's artwork takes a realistic approach that works well covering both the language's ancient origins and its more contemporary influences. (maps, bibliography, index) (Nonfiction. 7-12)

Dancing granny Paddy Jones withdraws from BGT
- Bang Showbiz
- 29 May 2014
Salsa dancing granny Paddy Jones has been forced to withdraw from 'Britain's Got Talent' after injuring herself during rehearsals
Salsa dancing granny Paddy Jones has been forced to withdraw from 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The 79-year-old dancer - who wowed judges with her daring routine with dance partner Nico Espinosa - will not take part in Saturday's (31.05.14) live semi-final due to injury.
A 'BGT' spokesperson said: "After seeking medical advice, Paddy will not be able to perform in the semi-final. Unfortunately because of this Paddy and Nico have had to withdraw from the competition."
Paddy and Nico appeared in the first episode of the latest series of the ITV talent competition and impressed judge Amanda Holden enough to press the Golden Buzzer, which assured the salsa dancing act a place in the live shows.
It's believed Paddy injured her ribs after taking a fall in rehearsals.
Amanda is "devastated" the duo won't be able to continue on in the competition.
She said: "Ever since I first saw Paddy dance I fell in love with her. I was so looking forward to her and Nico wowing us with another amazing routine in the semi-finals and I really think she could have won the whole show.
"The most important thing though is that she makes a speedy recovery and gets back to living life to the full."

well now...my copy of
Shaman of Stonewylde
arrived on friday...i sat down at 10.05 after making the all important cup of tea and only stopped reading at 11.20pm with 150 pages to go...swampy reminded me that i needed to be awake for kits book signing in dorchester!
we left early and caught the forest at its best...cobwebs covered the gorse like little sparkling fairy platforms and a low mist created white islands in the hollows...
our route took us past the long, long walls of the drax estate-which was the inspiration for stonewylde...
famous for it great gates...this one is the five legged stag...
this was the first time i had gone to dorchester since we moved away and i felt sad returning because we loved living in our small cottage in the middle of no-where, especially as we lived at the foot of bulbarrow hill which had a bronze age hill fort and medieval trackway at the very top.
i made sure i had my copy in my bag...
the lovely kit berry...
yours truly doing her promo-pixie work...
kit signing our copy...
important pixie work...
now this really looks like i am telling kit off for some reason but i am not honest!!!!
i couldnt be stopped...
love you kit!
guarding the ceremony cakes with mrb...
then it was time to say goodbye (until next week!) and go and have a cup of tea. we made our way to
maiden castle
where we had spent many happy hours while living nearby...
lanceborough king barrow...bronze age barrow cemetery...
we were glad to see the celtic kitchen was still open and selling their gorgeous pasties and cakes...we had a pasty each for our lunch and brought one of their toffee apple cakes home with us...
i am so glad pretty pagan allows us to be so self-sufficient but wish we had this view every day...
then it was time to come home and finish reading shaman-oh my what a roller-coaster of a ride it is...
today it is back to normal and i will be spending the day crafting ready for samhain...

Subject: Re: Is Jonah to be taken literally?
I'm off on a holiday tomorrow - so am unable to give your reply the full
attention it deserves. However, I will deal with just one point if I
may. You said, "I didn't mean to question the Scriptures, but only to
give some examples. To me, I have no problem accepting a talking donkey
or a floating axe head but my scientific curiosity makes me curious
("nosy"?) in that I wish I could have been there to observe this. Don't
you wish you could have been present to taste the wine that Jesus made,
not to prove that it was wine, but to share in the miracle?"
Indeed, I would like to have witnessed this miracle, but as you will
already know, I claim the related numerics of Genesis 1:1, John 1:1 and
Creator's name to be a 'standing miracle' - so I already have some
experience of the Lord's capabilities in this area. However, few seem
prepared to share this wonder with me! As I recently wrote to Allan
"As you will have observed, no one is willing - or able - to challenge
my OBC (Other Bible Code) thesis from the Scriptures; but neither is
anyone prepared to discuss the possible meaning and significance of the
facts uncovered. A body of empirical data thus goes begging - a
situation that must be unique in the annals of science: man's natural
curiosity stifled; a body of Christians (by definition, 'seekers after
truth') wanting nothing to do with tangible evidence of the supernatural
and of God's abilities. Unbelievable! - but worse, the said body
preferring to busy themselves with softer, more entertaining, more
rewarding even, options like dismantling the Scriptures!"
I asked Allan (or anyone, for that matter) if he had an answer to this
enigma. So far, there has been no response. Perhaps you would care to
pick up the gauntlet, for I think you must agree that the phenomena - if
not miraculous - deserve a logical explanation from one of the
scientists on this list; otherwise the standing of their discipline -
and of rational thought itself - dies.

|Baking soda, coconut oil and a brush is all you need
for an all natural toothpaste
My version is like this:
4 tbsp Baking soda
3 tbsp Coconut Oil
A few drops of peppermint essence
(you can use peppermint essential oil too but make sure it is labeled "therapeutic grade")
As well you can use a few drops of stevia or xylitol for sweetness
Mix the baking soda and oils together, make sure its a paste not too watery. Just add a bit of water if
it is too thick, if too thin add baking soda.
Wet your brush and dip it into the mixture, then brush normally.
I really like how fresh and clean your mouth feels afterwards! It also will whiten your teeth with
repeated use.
If you look it up some sites will say that repeated use of baking soda will strip the enamel off your teeth ...I'm not sure I am still researching it more but I'm pretty sure that the coconut oil is protecting it from the harsh abrasiveness of the baking soda. (I'll do more research and post a follow up if I find anything more about the subject.)

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Ephesians 6:13-17
When a dear friend of mine left the Church, my heart was broken. It was as if he took off his armour piece by piece over time, leaving him exposed to the enemy. I wondered how this could have happened. When reading in Ephesians 6 one morning, I felt inspired to paint a depiction of the passage and create a message about the importance of wearing the Armour of God daily. This Armour isn't the most fashionable, comfortable, or convenient to put on. God has asked us to put on His whole armour to be able to withstand in the evil day. It takes great daily fortitude to be able to STAND in Truth and Righteousness, prepared in His Gospel of Peace, having Faith, Trusting His Salvation, wielding the Sword of The Spirit and the Word of God. His armour cannot be left in the closet- it must be put on daily to battle. - Judy Cooley

The Knife Shaking the Habitual
In all honesty, XLR8R doesn't really need to weigh in on whether or not the new LP by Swedish duo The Knife is any good. It's been seven years since the spellbinding Silent Shout ushered in a new era of moody synth-pop, four years after singer Karin Dreijer Andersson once again captivated The Knife's fans with her bewitching Fever Ray project, and even Deep Cuts' decade-old hit "Heartbeats" continues to charm just about anyone who hears it. Basically, records like Shaking the Habitual arrive more or less entrenched in hype, expectations, and adoration. (XLR8R even went so far as to explore the highs and lows of the collective preconceptions before we'd heard more than a tenth of its music.) So, if we don't need to explain why The Knife's 98-minute behemoth of a fourth album is one of the best releases of 2013, we'll instead talk about why it should be considered one of the most important albums in recent memory.
In interviews, press releases, and a recent short film called The Interview, Karin and her brother Olof Dreijer have spelled out in so many words that they had no intention of following up Silent Shout. But when the idea came up about three years ago, the siblings decided that any new work they embarked on would have to marry their political interests with whatever music was created. So they hit the books—studying up on political theory, gender issues, socioeconomics, '70s protest songs, et al.—and emerged with the seeds that would grow into the driving force behind their new album. Musically, The Knife abandoned most of the haunted electronics which drew so many people to its previous full length (a risky move, no doubt). They sought out unique spaces to record their own live sounds, looking for a place "where the border between normal and strange is erased," as Karin puts it in The Interview. She goes on to explain how she and her brother created their own instruments, played "traditional instruments in non-traditional ways," and discovered methods of making "traditional sounds" in their own fashion. It would appear that The Knife was basically looking to explore the concept of what an album can be in 2013, and in the process, find a way to invert what popular music means. The notion is furthered by the pair's expressed needs to "experiment with time" and make music "that is impossible to consume in a quick and easy way." With all of this in mind, it's easy to see that Shaking the Habitual had a distinct purpose from the start, something beyond the usual intent to entertain and make a profit. The Knife has used the LP format to carefully organize a deliberate affront on the way Westernized music and culture is created, commercialized, and consumed.
"Full of Fire" was the first leak to appear from Shaking the Habitual—though maybe not because it's the album's best single per se, but because it's an all-encompassing representation of The Knife's stark new direction. The song is a full-bodied treatise on the perversion of world history set to raucously disquieting protest music disguised as a 10-minute noise-techno track. Songs like "A Tooth for an Eye" and "Without You My Life Would Be Boring" might be better suited for the role of an easily digestible single, though even that feels like reaching. Driven by heavy assaults of tribal percussion, ghostly breaths of flute, and a rubbery hook made from who knows what, "Without You..." is an absolute standout which sounds something like Drum's Not Dead-era Liars covering one of M.I.A's early Diplo-produced tunes. "A Tooth for an Eye" is equally strong, and bears the closest resemblance to the bubbly pop format once wielded by The Knife, although it's been stretched out to six minutes and is fueled by the raging flames of discontent.
While there are a handful of songs that do go down a bit more quickly and smoothly than the others, most of Shaking the Habitual comprises bouts of cavernous feedback, frenetic dancefloor tunes, and murky balladry that are all as equally disturbing as they are engrossing. The excellent "Raging Lung" explores a thumping, low-slung backbeat rife with heavy drums, groaning low end, and chirpy alien croaks. Karin's brooding vocal melodies give the song a chimerical power when she sings lyrics like "I've got a story that money just can't buy," but once past the halfway mark, the track veers away from its chantable chorus into an instrumental jam session littered with discordant noise and the rattle of detuned guitars. And all of this follows immediately after Shaking the Habitual's proverbial elephant in the room: a wordless, 19-minute, warped and distorted noise composition whose presence can only be explained as "conceptual" or "metaphorical." "Old Dreams Waiting to be Realized," though it may very well be the least frequently revisited of the 13 tracks, almost feels like the entire reason why The Knife even bothered to record a fourth album. Obviously, the size of the thing demands that the listener confront its existence, but the fact alone that its two creators decided to use their enormous audio experiment as the centerpiece of what some might call a "comeback album" is the mark of genuine artistry and protest. (And to return to that space once again on the nine-minute "Fracking Fluid Injection" is borderline belligerent.) Suffice it to say that Shaking the Habitual is a "difficult" album in nearly every sense of the word, and rightfully so. Nothing that so directly and effectively challenges people's ideas about the world around them could ever be familiar or effortless.
Most contemporary artists would give up any number of prized possessions for the stature and mythos that has been cultivated around The Knife's singular view of music and remarkable live performances over the years, and the pair duly note this, often referring to themselves as "privileged." Though it's safe to assume they aren't exactly oligarchs, they do have a certain amount of power, and set out to use that influence for a purpose outside of themselves on Shaking the Habitual. The merits of Karin's and Olof's skills as singers, producers, musicians, songwriters, and performers should be mentioned time and again when discussing their new LP, but it all seems secondary to the message they wish to get across. Every time the duo speaks to the press, its members gravitate less toward the years of work that went into their creative process, and focus on the reasons why they decided to take on the task in the first place. The Knife is clearly unhappy with the direction and perversion of Western music and culture throughout history, and quite literally wants to shake us until we can see it for ourselves. Regardless of whether they're successful or not isn't quite the point; what makes Shaking the Habitual so important is that The Knife used an important moment in their own history to truly subvert the hierarchy that both the band and the album exist in. Thankfully, they also wrote some near-perfect music in the process.

IRLP Nodes 5160 & 3908
Node Guidelines:
To call a Node or reflector:
If you need a list of nodes, where they are located, what nodes are connect to each other, what are the frequencies of other nodes, etc. go to http://status.irlp.net/
What is a Node?
A Node refers to a computer that is either connected to a repeater or runs on a simplex basis. Nodes can be connected to each other in 2 different ways. The first way is Node to Node, and the 2nd is via a reflector. Node to Node is virtually 2 linked repeaters located anywhere in the world on the IRLP system.
What is a reflector?
A reflector is a computer allowing multiple nodes to connect simultaneously. e.g. If I was talking to node 6220 and we both needed to talk to node 6000, we could all dial in to a reflector and be all connected simultaneously. More than 20 nodes can connect to a reflector simultaneously.
The reflectors have 10 'channels' each. You can access these different channels by dialing the three-digit reflector number, plus a channel number from 0 to 9. For example, channel 3 on Reflector 925 would be "9253". The most commonly used channel on a reflector is channel 0.
Two of these new channels, 8 and 9, have a special purpose. They use a special audio encoding method so that nodes on dial-up connections can now use the reflectors. This means very little to us locally, except that if you want to talk with a group on a reflector that includes a dial up node you'll have to be on channel 8 or 9. However, if you're making a direct connection to a dial-up node there is no difference.

one laugh: the old "half-off" joke. only reason INTRUDER stayed in my mind at all is that i first watched it in the early morning of september 11th, 2001.
far as raimi goes, i like IT'S MURDER! and maybe CRIME WAVE, to be contrary, but i'm totally beyond burned out on the EVIL DEADs and campbell and all of that.
I think everyone remembers what they were doing on 9/11/2001. A friend and I were having the Pizza Hut lunch buffet and I remember something otherwise so insignificant as clear as day... the same reason you remember this insignificant movie.
I've not seen It's Murder but I used to LOVE the Evil Dead series as a kid; especially Part 2. Now I'm more a fan of the first because the humor isn't quite as in-your-face. Been awhile since I've seen any of them though. Not seen Crime Wave either but I've been meaning to check it out.

The most important part of any live bait system is the quality and features of the livewell you are going to be storing your live bait fish in. We have compiled a list of critical factors you should take under consideration when determining which livewell you will purchase.
We carry the Aquaworld line of UltraTanks and Traditional tanks. The Aquaworld UltraTank livewells feature a patented reverse flow technology that keeps the tank cleaner and bait fish healthier. Fresh water is constantly circulated into the tank while old water is expelled through a drain in the bottom. The traditional line of Aquaworld livewells come ready to be plumbed and integrated with an existing bait pump.
KeepAlive has an established and time tested reputation in the live bait fishing community. They are known for producing outstanding quality products that are truly seafit. Be sure to browse our technical information and installation instructions to see just how easy it is to install a KeepAlive livewell. We have livewells with and without aerators. The KeepAlive oxygen infusion technology produces millions of microfine oxygen bubbles in the livewell's water for the perfect live bait system.
We don't just carry livewells and bait tanks. We are also proud to feature Rob's Reel Bait pens. These bait pens a great alternative to livewells when you need to store a larger volume of fish or simply prefer a bait pen system where you keep your bait fish in the water they are accustomed to. These pens are highly durable and feature vinyl coated wire that is securely fastened with stainless steel hog rings.
The Chemtainer livewell is a big and brawny tank that has become a favorite amongst bait producers around the nation. We carry Chemtainer livewells ranging from a 50 gallon capacity to a 200 gallon capacity. These livewells are easy to plumb and because of that they are normally integrated into existing live bait systems.
The Toho-Rig livewell comes as a complete package and features a lot of amenities that there simply isn't enough room for on traditional livewells. The shape of the Toho-Rig livewell has made it a favorite amongst jon boat owners and other smaller shipping vessel captain's because it doubles as a seat when not in use. The Toho-Rig livewell features a 360 Gallon per hour pump, lure and tackle storage trays and recessed cup holders. The interior of the livewell is divided to allow storing your catch and keeping your bait fish all in one place.
C&M Fiberglass livewells are for the angler who needs a tank that is more durable than the traditional polyethylene tanks that flood the market. These tanks are made from reinforced fiberglass and are ultra corrosion resistant. The C&M line of tanks come in insulated and non insultated versions and we have been told they double as a great cooler because of the interior gel coat on the insulated tanks.

Health Enterprises, Inc., a leading manufacturer of niche health care products, will demonstrate its patented, doctor-designed Ear Wax Removal Syringe at MEDICA .
The Ear Wax Removal Syringe was designed by a doctor to be safe and effective, in good part due to its patented "Tri-stream" tip; which: 1) has a flared shape to prevent over insertion in ear; 2) directs fluid against ear canal walls, not directly against ear drum; 3) has exit portals which allow fluid and debris to drain out while fluid is sprayed in to prevent pressure build-up.
"Our Ear Wax Removal Syringe can be used in place of cotton buds for regular ear cleaning", commented Brendan Leonard, president of Health Enterprises, "or used after ear wax removal drops to completely flush ear wax, dirt, and debris from ears".
Health Enterprises, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of branded and private label OTC consumer healthcare products sold in retailers across the globe. For more information about Health Enterprises and its complete product line, visit www.healthenterprises.com.
