In a report issued July 27, the Federal Trade Commission unanimously supported a self-regulatory proposal developed by the Network Advertising Initiative, a coalition of third-party ad-servers such as DoubleClick, 24/7 Media and Engage. However, the FTC also called for Congress to enact legislation to provide consumer privacy protection as a complement to the NAI proposal. Such legislation would guarantee compliance by non-NAI members, which make up about 10% of the network advertising industry. NAI members agreed to put their self-regulatory principles into effect while Congress considers the FTC's recommendations regarding online profiling.

We are adaptable creatures. We are adventurous, and tend to constantly search for any touches and tools to make the most of our environment. When the weather warms up, we want to take advantage of moderate to hot, spring and summer temperatures by adding leisurely activities to compliment the season. We prioritize our homes and are in constant search for any elements to help put together new living spaces, or to enhance and recreate what we love about old ones. And we're lucky to have one hub that caters to all those needs right here in Kuwait—ACE Hardware.
ACE Hardware is arguably the first all-inclusive hardware store that was introduced to Kuwait during the rise of international franchises in the '90s, and in the midst of so much variety sweeping the nation, it remains to be that one place where you could go to that would truly make all your dreams come true. A place where you could find everything within one location, making it easy to fulfill all your needs, and widen your horizons to the perspective that really, anything is possible.
After walking into ACE Hardware in Al-Rai, we found ourselves in overwhelming excitement while exploring all the options this great hub has to offer. It was clear through the store's set up, summer was in the air and that they were prepared to help customers enjoy it to the fullest! We couldn't help but fawn over the summertime essentials filling the store, like patio and balcony furniture designed to heighten the enjoyable spring and summer nights, and grills ranging in all sizes and portability, catering to any type of barbecue event you may frequent within the coming months (Mutla'a Ridge day, anyone?). What also caught our eye was their great selection of leisurely and advanced dune buggies for desert and chalet shenanigans—those were enough to get our minds planning our next outskirts excursion to make the most out of summer the ACE way.
But what had our inner Pinterest-loving souls beaming with joy was all the DIY (Do it Yourself) tools on offer, because, raise your hand if this sounds familiar: You tend to find yourselves fascinated with all those great Buzzfeed articles filled with tips on how to update your home and refurbish your furniture on a budget, and are always pausing the scroll on your Facebook page to watch Nifty's latest life-hack videos. 2017 is the height of the Do It Yourself generation, and those of us living in Kuwait share a similar qualm: "where the heck would I be able to find (insert tool here) to create, remake or fix that?"
Don't hesitate to walk down the aisles of power tools, paint and whosits, whatsits and doodads. ACE proudly caters to every last one of your basic renovation and homeownership needs, and promises an easy and helpful experience in making your visions turn to reality. If you're building your dream home, or you're giving things a fresh coat of paint, any tools to achieve your DIY goals are available. There's absolutely nothing better than doing it yourself, and knowing that you've done a good job, and with the best quality materials to help accessible at your fingertips, your own craftiness coupled with ACE's excellent inventory makes the best team there is.
Because the core of the ACE hardware brand is to provide customers with the right tools to be able to complete their homecare needs on their own, they select their products based on tool practicality to contribute to the seamlessness of our DIY projects. Coupled with the fact that the USA is known to have a prominent culture of hardware and home tools that are easy to use, this American store brings in the best of the best straight from the source when it comes to stocking their products and we can be rest assured that we'll find even the most random tool that's essential to tufting your own headboard from scratch.
What if you aren't DIY savvy but want to be? As a hesitant DIYer who hasn't graduated past ideas, I riddled this question to Mr. Rozbeh Zarei, General Manager of ACE as I was perusing the paint aisle and fantasizing about sprucing up an old table of mine at home. "We ensure stocking tools for all experience levels, to accommodate both first-time homeowners and those who are more trained with DIY. We also pride ourselves in having a very knowledgeable staff, who provide great guidance for the use of the tools," he assured me.
ACE's brand recognition of being "The Helpful Place" proves to be true in this respect. Most utility and specialty stores offer products that are tailored for someone who is already in that field of work, but ACE is inclusive to its customer base and leaves no DIYer behind. "We really believe in providing our customers the best DIY tools on the market, because to us, these projects are more fun and rewarding than hiring a handyman to come in and take care of it for you," Mr. Zarei says. "And through social media, we've noticed that the concept of DIY is on the rise, especially towards the generation of newlyweds and young adults moving into their first houses and apartments. This is why ACE Hardware as a brand makes products that are easy to use for even the most inexperienced crafters."
And then I, inexperienced crafter extraordinaire, asked for assistance as we hunted the aisles for the tools to recreate my table. As the kind salesman encouraged me to opt for spray paint rather than brush paint, I was skeptical, until he proceeded to skillfully transform an old tabletop from beige to a sleek black, demonstrating how easy it was to just do it myself. And just like that, with the help from the most helpful place in Kuwait, my DIY fear vanished. Next stop? Their gardening section to craft that DIY three-tiered herb planter I once saw on Nifty!
ACE Hardware is located in Al Rai, Hawalli's Tunis Street, and in Egaila. Follow them on Instagram and Facebook @acekuwait, and visit their website at www.acekuwait.com for more information.

Lectionary 22 A - Matthew 16:21-28
Peter thinks "the rock" upon which the church will be built should have a say so about its foundation and undergoing great suffering and death is not a part of Peter's plan for the Messiah. You would think "and on the third day be raised" might make a difference, but it doesn't. He's a Galilean fisherman sailing in uncharted waters. He has witnessed miraculous healing and feedings and the transfiguration and even though the wind and waves freaked him out and made him sink he walked on water. When he gets the promotion from "one of the twelve" to CEO he's already cashed in the keys of the kingdom and is looking forward to living large. The rebuke must have come as a surprise with the "blessed are you" ringing in his ears and while the Gospels do not record his immediate response his later denial in the courtyard would indicate that the "and on the third day be raised" still hadn't sunk in. It is true for us as well. We do not wish sorrow away by the power of positive thinking. We cannot revise reality by saying the half empty glass is half full. Half full is the same as half empty in that there is 50 % less to drink. And of course we cannot avoid the inevitability of death. No. The suffering is great. The death is real. Which is why only "and on the third day be raised" can address the very things to which Peter, and we ourselves, say, "God forbid it, Lord!" The power of the resurrection is that it is the only thing that can deny death the last word about us which is why we dare to lose our lives before death can speak.

We've only had the minivan since late August. I hadn't truly realised how dependent we are on some of its gadgets and toys. Until today. The DVD player broke. Yeah, seriously.
Little Boo was surprisingly relaxed about the situation. (Thank God) But he talked the entire time we were in the car, from daycare to home. The entire time. Non-stop.
Have I mentioned our commute is at least 45 minutes long?
Now, don't get me wrong. I am so proud of our 4 year-old and his amazing vocabulary and his love of conversation and social interaction. (Have I mentioned hubs and I are major introverts? Not great parents for keeping up with a majorly extroverted preschooler.) But where does he get the energy? By the time we got home hubs and I were completely exhausted from listening to his chatter and trying to answer all his questions.
We are truly hoping that the system will magically reset itself overnight. Or the DVD fairies will pay a visit. Or something. Wish us luck!!!

Biblical Inerrancy and the Nature of Truth
The American Jesus has provided this great breakdown of total inerrancy vs limited inerrancy. I've usually heard "limited inerrancy" referred to as "infallibility" and so I'll use the terms interchangeably here.
Let's get the key point up front: the general definition of the doctrine of inerrancy is that the Bible is without any error of any kind. Not historical, not geographical, not grammatical, not scientific, not anything. Some Christians consider this a fundamental and if you don't believe it then you aren't a real Christian. Which excludes the vast majority of Christians today and throughout church history.
Limited inerrancy, on the other hand, claims that the Bible is without error in respect to its purpose: "God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness" (2 Tim 3:16). It doesn't try to push behind what Scripture claims of itself, though. I personally like the term "infallibility" better just because "limited inerrancy" is more explicitly saying that the Bible is not perfect in the historical/geographical/scientific facts while infallibility just says that it really doesn't matter if it is correct on those facts or not. On the other hand, I have heard a lot of confusion on how it differs from inerrancy, a difference which "limited inerrancy" makes clear.
To put this bluntly, those who insist that inerrancy is a fundamental of the Christian faith are heavily biased by the skewed priorities of the modern era. Fact is what matters to modernist thought. Cold, hard, propositional fact. It goes hand in hand with the legal framework for understanding Christianity, where the goal is to be in Heaven at the end of the age instead of in Hell, since all that matters is finding that key belief or those key beliefs that gets you on the right side of the verdict. Depending on who you ask, the beliefs – as pure "objective" propositions – will vary, including sometimes including biblical inerrancy. Regardless, the belief in inerrancy and especially the concept that it is a fundamental is clearly a symptom of this proposition-driven attitude.
But didn't Jesus say that he is the Truth (John 14:6)? Sadly many modern Christians twist this heavily into talking as though facts about Jesus are the truth that lead to the Father. The key to this form of Christianity is intellectually accepting the right propositions (about Jesus to start with, but maybe some more after that). But that isn't what Jesus said! Or what any other person in Scripture said! Or what any of the church fathers and mothers said! They all, consistently, seemed far more interested in a truth that is more incarnational than propositional. In particular, God's incarnation as Jesus and how we should incarnate building our life around him. It really astounds me how much many Western Christians act and teach as if the Bible is there to be a systematic theology text as well as a science text and a history text when it pretty clearly has no interest in doing that itself (especially since such things didn't even exist for 1500 years after the last of it was written).
This is why I tend to say that historical, scientific, geographic, and grammatical details are just really not that important. Most scholars would agree that a lot of those details in Scripture are true in the modernist propositional sense and some of them aren't. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't change a thing about the kind of Truth that matters, the real Truth, the incarnational relational Truth, the still-living-and-with-us-today Truth, the Truth that sets us free.

Months of the Year Rhymes
I volunteered in my 2nd grader's class today for "writer's workshop" and typed up lovely poems for a half hour but I was a little early and found this winner posted on her classroom wall. I used the days of the week song to teach my kids as preschoolers the days of the week, which isn't much of a song but goes…
There are 7 days, there are 7 days, there are 7 days in a week:
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
And the rhyme I learned as a child to remember the number of days in certain months:
30 days has September,
April, June and November.
All the rest have 31,
Except for February which has 28 days
and 29 on a leap-year.
And now here's a great rhyme for the Months of the Year:
January, February, March, April, May
June, July, August. Hooray, Hooray!
September, October, November, December,
These are the months that I CAN REMEMBER!
Month of the Year Picture Books
I also noticed that she uses picture books on the months of the year that she used in conjunction with this rhyme (and I found a few others as well). Since all the books on months of the year emphasize seasonality, you could easily incorporate seasons and holidays and tie it back to the months of the year.
Chicken Soup with Rice: A Book of Months by Maurice Sendak
This is our favorite picture book about the months of the year. My oldest child's first grade teacher had an oversized version of this book for 1st grade and taught this book as a song with a little dance. I'm not much of a singer so we just read the book as a rhyming poem. It's charming and I love Sendak's illustrations. And I agree, chicken soup and rice is perfect to eat the entire year long!
Lighting Our World: A Year of Celebrations by Catherine Rondina and Jacquie Oakley
Light has been used in many cultures to celebrate special occasions and this advanced picture book highlights the many kinds of calendars including lunar (Muslim), Gregorian (United States and most of the world), and lunisolar (Chinese and Jewish). Each month showcases how other countries and cultures use light as part of their celebrations by a child from that country. For January, Sophie explains Up Hella Aa, a fire festival in the Shetland Islands of Scotland.
Other light festivities include Las Fallas (Spain), Carnival (Caribbean), Nowruz (Iran), Holi (India), Walpurgis Night (Sweden), Easter (Germany), Cinco de Mayo (USA), Buddha's Birthday (South Korea), Inti Ryami (Peru), Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (Canada), Obon (Japan), Chung Yuan (China), Tet Thrung Thu (Vietnam), Enkutatash (Ethiopia), Diwali (India), Ramandan (Egypt), and more.
The light celebrations are interesting in that it offers a glimpse into many different cultures and countries and also shows the similarities that people around the world and throughout time have used light as part of a ceremony. On that level, it brings us all together.
I like this multi-cultural twist on months of the year and this advanced picture book would be a nice addition to a classroom. It might be used to highlight a country or a few countries are are part of the curriculum. The idea of a calendar can be extended through this book into a multicultural experience. I'd recommend this book for grades 2 and up. Older kids will enjoy learning about the different ways to celebrate light around the world. I learned a lot myself!
CalendarBears: A Book of Months by Kathleen Hague
Another first grade teacher my two younger kids had this book on display when she taught the months of the year. In fact, the last rhyme is hers. This picture book series uses teddy bears to introduce concepts like months of the year and the alphabet. The teddy bear illustrations help to emphasize the seasons for each month.
Long Night Moon by Cynthia Rylant
Cynthia Rylant has never written a bad book so it's not surprising that her take on a months of the year book is something unique and wonderful. She uses Native American names for full moons — one for each month — with a matching poems. Multicultural, science-y and nature. This is my kind of months of the year book.
Once Around the Sun by Bobbi Katz
If you like The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, then this is the months of the year picture book for you! Katz takes an African-American brother and sister and pairs the months of year with poems that capture their experience in and around their neighborhood.
A Busy Year by Leo Lionni
Two mice and a tree have a busy year together looking after each other and they look forward to doing it again next year.
Twelve Hats for Lena : A Book of Months by Karen Katz
Lena Katz (notice the same surname as the author?!) is making a hat for each month decorated with how she celebrates each month. January's hat with snowballs and snow games ushers in the New Year, for example. Lena celebrates the holidays that mark each month of the year. Lena loves arts and crafts and instructions are included. This would make a fun book club for kids for girls!
The Turning of the Year by Bill Martin
Rather than holidays, Bill Martin uses rhymes to emphasize the activities a child can do each month with a real emphasis on old-fashioned outdoor fun like pumpkin picking, sledding and catching fireflies. This book would be fun to use all year to try to replicate each activity at home.
Around the Year by Elsa Maartman Beskow
The illustrations remind me of old-fashioned fairy tale books with delicate watercolor washes that make everything look like an ethereal fantasy. Also rhyming, this lovely picture book notes the natural world that each month brings: poppies in July, red apples in September, and new sprouts of Spring's first growth.

Both your voices suited the song very well. Didn't enjoy the song as a composition that much, but your voices and singing sounded very pleasant.
(Ramya: "podi brighas" need some care... sound little unstable, as in many of your other renditions. Very minor issue in this song though.)
Very nice singing, both of you! I think the feel/ energy was conveyed well although I don't know the language..

Pitman Training Group is the UK and Ireland's
leading provider of IT, Office & Business skills training.
Operating out of 89 franchised training centres79 of which
deliver ILA-funded learning, 76 in Englandthe Group has
lobbied consistently for a coherent and workable ILA model.
Pitman Training has been involved with the ILA
programme since the earliest pilot stage. The company and its
franchises worked with TECs across the country to help develop
workable models. The Pitman Training network has also delivered
training extensively on programmes such as New Deal, Work Based
Learning for Adults, UK OnLine, and many others.
Following the suspension of the ILA scheme,
Pitman Training are anxious to contribute to the process of finding
a workable, targeted and timely restoration or replacement.
Pitman Training has consistently made constructive
criticism of the initiative's shortcomings, offering suggestions
as to how the rules could be changed to improve the outcome and
to reduce the potential for abuse. We make no apology for repeating
the main points now: it is essential that the lessons of ILAs
are learned.
The points we have raised in the past include:
The DfEE's admirable intentions in introducing
a scheme that would encompass both the sole trader delivering
training in aromatherapy and the large-scale provider of IT training,
proved unworkable. Rules designed to facilitate the work of the
former, meant inadequate supervision of the latter. The result
was the entry into the IT training market of opportunistic businesses
with little or no connection with training, seeking to exploit
the inadequate framework of regulations.
By attempting to broaden the appeal of the programme,
DfEE elected to keep regulations to a minimum. However, this was
taken too far. At the time of the introduction of the initiative
to private sector providers in September 2000, there was no written
guidance available to providers. Indeed, this company produced
the first comprehensive set of written guidelines and submitted
them to the DfEE ILA Policy Unit for comment on 6 September 2000.
A detailed set of regulations would have prevented many of the
difficulties encountered in recent months.
The problems deriving from the initial failure
to put a limit on spending under the scheme have been well documented.
Suffice it to say that consultation with private providers would
have produced a sensible middle-ground and avoided the need for
the £200.00 cap on the 80 per cent band, which so limited
the opportunities for worthwhile training for many career aspirants.
Pitman Training Group has expressed their concern
on this issue to ministers and officials on several occasions
since before the launch of the programme. Without minimum standards,
anyone has been able to set up in business as a "training
provider", with the consequences that have become so apparent
over the past few months. It is most unfortunate that the DfEE/DfES
chose to take no action on this, particularly since there is such
an obvious and easily implemented solution, as detailed later
in this paper.
The failure to tie part of the payment to providers
to the individual's completion of their learning programme has
created the opportunity for the unscrupulous operators to take
the money without showing any care for the individual's learning
The performance of Capita in operating the ILA
Centre has been woeful. The grasp of their advisors of the details
of the initiative is extremely poor: this company took a policy
decision at the very launch of the Centre to wait until we had
received three consecutive, identical answers to a question before
accepting that as likely to be authoritative. We have had no reason
to change that view.
Likewise, the processing of applications has
never been smooth and all but collapsed as numbers increased.
Fortunately, Pitman Training Group were able
to get direct access to DfEE/DfES officials in the ILA Policy
Unit; other, smaller providers were not so lucky.
The decision to "suspend" the ILA
programme with trails of a likely solution "soon" or
"in a couple of months" is likely to have a serious
and damaging effect on private training providers. Anyone without
a valid PIN seeking training at the moment is likely to put off
any decision until the government's policy becomes clear. Providers
are already seeing a collapse in enquiries from this section of
the market.
It is essential that the DfES give clear direction
on what it intends to do after December 7. Clarity and speed are
essential to prevent the collapse of some legitimate providers:
if the intention is to abandon ILAs, government should say so
immediately and announce what is to take its place. A return to
Vocational Training Relief from 8 December until the replacement
scheme is rolled out would be a simple, short-term expedient.
In putting forward our solutions to the current
situation, we are conscious of the realities facing DfES ministers
and officials. Our proposals, therefore, make certain assumptions:
Our proposals, therefore, as are follows:
All the major difficulties within the ILA initiative
have come in the area of IT. This is easily explained: IT is the
major skills sector within the scope of the initiative, and attracts
the higher-level funding.
The feedback we have from officials suggests
that there are few problems at the 20 per cent discount level
or with the specialist mathematics learning providers. Imposing
more stringent rules in the area of IT training would solve many
of the problems and would be widely welcomed by bona fide IT training
This is the key to the recovery of the ILA initiative,
or to any replacement that may be considered. When Pitman Training
Group were invited recently to comment upon the proposed Guidance
to Providers, which would have been introduced on November
1, we were dismayed that this key issue had not been addressed.
All the new rules were simply introduced to put up barriers to
make the "rogue traders" lives more difficult. This
was an opportunity missed to take them out of the market place
Our official response forwarded to the ILA Policy
Unit on October 18 included the following passage:
We have believed from the beginning of the ILA
scheme that there should be some simple, but effective, method
of ensuring that providers meet minimum quality standards. This
has been seen as difficult to achieve by DfES because of the large
numbers of specialist providers operating on a very small scale.
However, most of the changes brought in recently
and in this revised Guide are needed solely because of the activities
of businesses that have little connection with training delivery,
other than a sense of opportunism. There is, we believe, a quick
and effective remedy.
Most of the providers who would be negatively
affected by quality thresholds claim discounts at 20 per cent
or, if claiming 80 per cent, will mainly be training in Mathematics.
If quality barriers were introduced only to IT provisionat
80 per centvery few legitimate providers would be affected,
whilst the minority of dubious providers causing such difficulty
over recent months would be taken out of the system overnight.
The process would be very simple to operate
and would rely on the prior acceptance of the provider into schemes
operated by Government departments or independent agencies that
already demand minimum quality levels from trainers. Examples
of this would include (amongst others):
In the very rare examples that a legitimate
provider did not have any such recognition, they could very easily
and inexpensively seek approval from one of the above or, perhaps,
get a written reference from their Local Learning & Skills
Council. The street traders, with no training background, would
be unable to comply."
We fully understand the laudable intentions
of brining in a simple scheme with a light touch, giving the individual
learner maximum choice. The reality is, however, as has been so
clearly demonstrated, that a lack of Quality Assurance simply
opens the door to the unscrupulous. DfES should focus on developing
the availability of ILA-funded IT training through approved providers
only. A switch to this policy would be a quick, targeted and cost-effective
answer to all but a tiny percentage of the ILA initiative's problems.
We urge DfES to give it early and serious consideration.
By making the whole of the payment to providers
dependent on just the start of the learning programme, the initiatives
invites abuse. A qualification outcome is not appropriate under
this initiative, but it would be simple to hold back a proportion
of the paymentwe would suggest thirty percentuntil
the ILA holder certifies that they have completed their programme
by signing a completion form.
This would greatly improve the completion rate
amongst learners, ensuring that government money would be used
in a far more appropriate manner than hitherto.
Pitman Training expressed surprise and concern
once it became clear that there was to be no ceiling on payments
under the original ILA scheme. Our predictions of abuse were,
unfortunately, accurate. However, the cap once introduced was
at too low a level to maximise significant learning opportunities
for individualS looking to make a real difference to their career
Once the problems surrounding "rogue traders"
are eliminated, there should be no reason why the cap should not
be raised to a level that would make that difference. The money
wasted by the problems can be channelled into improving the average
learning experience.
We would recommend a revised cap of £500.00,
with special arrangements for training of IT Professionals (see
A major misjudgement in the availability of
learning under the Individual Learning Account initiative was
the failure to include training for IT Professionals. The major
skills gap identified in the UK is for people with these very
skills: the government's own statistics clearly show the low take
up of job opportunities in this sector due to the absence of appropriate
training and qualifications. Changes should be made to the scheme
to make funding available towards this training and a special
capping level introduced to recognise the high costs of such intensive
training for qualifications such as A+ and MCSE.
It is essential that Capita staff receive much
moreand bettertraining on the scheme. Many of the
detailed problems that have beset providers stem from inaccurate,
misleading or ambiguous advice.
Capita should be targeted on performance in
the turn round of applications: there is a significant and clearly
documented fall out in individuals coming forward for training
once applications are delayed by more then 10 days: quite simply,
the motivation evaporates.
It is essential that DfES includes the major
private training providers in its planning of the re-introduction
of ILAs or any proposed replacement. Pitman Training Group begged
for a voice in July/August 2000, even offering to act as an unpaid
consultant, but was ignored. This should not happen again.
The private sector provides high-quality, cost
effective training and is expert in tailoring vocational learning
solutions to career aspirationsthe very heart of the ILA
Pitman Training Group plc is an active, founding
member of The Association of Computer Trainers (ACT), representing
the legitimate IT training industry. ACT should be involved closely
in the planning process for this, and any future, initiatives
involving funded training programmes.
Pitman Training Group has a rare and valuable
perspective on Individual Learning Accounts. Having responsibility
for the activities of 79 ILA providers across each of the four
national schemes, we are able to see both the flaws in the initiative
and the opportunities that still remain should ILAs be reinstated.
We firmly believe that Individual Learning Accounts
(or their successors) have a future. The difficulties that have
arisen are almost entirely due to the activities of a very small
number of "providers", with tenuous links to the legitimate
training industry. These rogue providers have taken advantage
of a misguided regime of regulation.
Our proposals solve almost all the current problems
instantly, at little or no cost to the public purse, enabling
the Individual Learning Account initiative to fulfil its promise
to increase public access to high quality vocational training.

I don't know what to say about an entire year of my life.
Let's see if I can figure this out.
The year started off great with a long term subbing job in my field. However, I was just thrown into it without any idea on how long I'd be doing the job for, no extra pay for the length, keys, or technology to input grades, make lesson plans, etc. I pretty much just flew by the seat of my pants, with the help of my colleague who had to work his butt off to keep the department going through UIL. (He did a stand-up job, by the way)
Spring break: I planted my first vegetable garden and it starts to grow!
Running: Overslept my first race, made a comeback with the Missions 10k and was slow. Hey, it was humid.
Things look promising.
Then the heat of the summer hits.
It stops raining in Texas.
The heat climbs higher.
I don't get the theatre teaching job. By this point, very little to no teaching jobs are open. Fail.
Still no rain.
Borders declares it's going out of business. The unbearable craziness of liquidation takes over.
Things are quickly rolling down hill.
I stop running because I'm too tired from working with crazy customers and douche bag liquidator. I eat and drink wine instead. Lots of wine.
My garden stops growing. Fail.
Borders dies in September.
I've lost two jobs in the span of three months.
Subbing picks up and I soon learn how much I hate it. At least at the high schools, anyway. There are actually TONS of things to do as an elementary sub. I start to like that more.
In October, a job as an Instructional Assistant for Special Ed falls into my lap. Not much of a pay raise at all, but the job is awesome. Things start to look up for a while, but I'm still unable to support myself financially.
Not even close. What is going on? I'm almost 28 years old!
I run the Wurst 5 Miler 2 minutes slower than last year. Disappointing, since I wanted to PR, but considering the summer I had, I'm happy. Running is back, until I get sick from allergies before Thanksgiving.
Things come to a close in a dull way. I'm not excited about how 2011 went AT ALL. I don't know what it is about odd years, but they really do suck. Now I need to spend the first part of 2012 getting everything back to the way I want it, physically and emotionally. I need to work even harder to get the job I want. I can't have another year like this one.
As my friends get engaged, married, and have babies, I look at myself and think, "How am I not even close to being ready for all of that?" A graduate degree gets you nowhere in this world. Potential gets you nowhere in this world. That's all I have right now: potential. Potential to be the best teacher, potential to lose the extra weight I gained during the summer from hell, potential to meet the right guy. I feel like I'm on the edge of something and I've been standing here for way too long. It's time to find a bridge or just jump in!
Why 2012 Will Be Hellofalot Better Than 2011
1. I will get back in shape. Just Dance 3 will get me there whether I like it or not! I WILL run another half marathon, too.
2. I WILL land that teaching job. I don't care where it is or what it is, but I WILL get a full time, salaried job, and SUPPORT MYSELF. Isn't that the American Dream? Why are so many hardworking, honest Americans being denied that?
3. Dating. This is scary stuff, but I'm going back out there again. I don't know how, but I will. If any of you have Aaron Rodgers phone number, tell him to give me a call. That will make things go a lot easier.
4. Have more fun, stress less, love more. I'm almost 30; I can't be stressing most of the time! Life is not worth the stress.
That's it.
2011 sucked and I'm extremely glad to see it end! ADIOS!!

Very light formula for my fine hair. Anti - humidity and protects against heat. It's a little pricey but a little bit goes a long way. One bottle last me a year.

I absolutely this product. I've got fine hair with high and low lights added. After drying and styling my hair, I add a very, very small dot of this liquid in my hand, rub my hands together, the apply it to my dry hair. Not at the roots, but mainly the strands and ends of hair. It doesn't weigh my fine hair down at all, it separates the highlights nicely and makes the color look brand new. If you've got course hair, you may want to consider a different product.

I absolutely love this serum for my fine, wavy, lower porosity 2C hair that tends to have that surface "halo" of frizz. Usually there's something I don't like about serums..too thick, too oily, not effective, etc., but this one I like. Just a drop of this, lightly smoothed over my hair when it's almost dry or dry, smooths the frizz without weighing it down or making it look flat or oily. The scent is lightly herbal / lavender (lavender, blood orange and rosemary) but it doesn't linger. I love the scent so I wished it lingered more. It's expensive at $28 a bottle, but since my hair is fine and I don't use that much at a time, the bottle lasts forever. Great product for my hair type.

Overall my hair is a tiny bit shinier and smoother but it's very expensive for what it is. I wouldn't purchase again! I'm having a difficult time trying to finish the bottle. On a positive note I do love the smell and think it's therapeutic!!

I got a sample of this recently with a Nordstrom order, and having always loved Aveda products, I gave it a try. I recently started using my flat iron again, and this has come in handy. It's a great product. It keeps my hair from becoming dry and frizzy from heat products, and really does give it a lot of shine. As with all Aveda products, the smell of Light Elements is very nice. I got a small travel-sized tube, and using it every day, it probably lasted the better part of a month. So even though it's a bit pricey, I'd say you get your money's worth.

Another one of my Aveda HG's. I've been using this for years and have repurchased many times. My hair is fine/dense/wavy and it's hard to find a serum that can control frizz while not weiging my hair down. This serum manages both and smells wonderful. I can use it after I blowdry and flat iron or I can use it on damp hair when I airdry. It's got silicones in it which protect from heat and jojoba oil to moisturize. Love it!

I find that this is the best shine and frizz taming product in my collection. I have tried alot of stuff over the years and this one is my favorite. It does not make my hair greasy and adds just the right amount of weight to seal the frizz and flyaways.

Apex court grants Ansal brothers bail (Lead)January 30th, 2009 - 7:45 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Jan 30 (IANS) The Supreme Court Friday granted bail to real estate tycoons Ansal brothers, who were serving a year-long jail sentence after being convicted in the 1997 Uphaar fire tragedy that killed 59 people.A bench of Justice S.B. Sinha and Justice V.S. Sirpurkar granted bail to Gopal and Sushil Ansal on the 102nd day of their stay in jail since Sep 11, 2008.
The bail order comes exactly a week after the Ansals made a stern apex court judge, Justice B.N. Agrawal, quit hearing their appeal against a Delhi High Court ruling that had endorsed their conviction by the trial court but had reduced their two-year jail term to one year.
Justice Agrawal had ordered jail for Ansals on Sep 10 after relatives of the fire tragedy victims moved the apex court.
As Ansals' plea against the high court ruling came up for hearing last Friday before the bench headed by Justice Agrawal, the Ansal brothers made him abandon the hearing by telling him that they want to be represented by senior counsel Ram Jethmalani.
They told the court that as Jethmalani was "embarrassed in appearing before him" owing to two articles he had written in 2005 on a controversy involving Justice Agrawal, he should not hear their appeal so that Jethmalani could represent them.
The apex court Friday granted bail to the Ansals in a proceeding lasting less than five minutes during which Jethmalani was barely able to complete his argument.
The bail was granted almost as soon as Jethmalani had told the court that his clients had been convicted on charges of criminal negligence and were given a year long jail term and were entitled to the bail.
Jethmalani was still arguing the case, unaware that bail had been granted, and was informed about it by one of his juniors.
The bench, while granting bail to Ansals, also issued notices to them on another lawsuit by the Association of the Victims of the Uphaar Tragedy (AVUT), challenging the high court ruling that reduced their sentence to one year.
AVUT president Neelam Krishnamoorthy, who lost her two teenaged children in the tragedy and had been waging a relentless legal battle since then for justice, had sought enhancement of jail term for the Ansals.
In her petition, she has also demanded that Ansals be tried on the stringent charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, rather than causing death due to criminal negligence.
Dejected after bail was granted to the Ansals, Neelam Krishnamoorthy and her husband Shekhar, told IANS: "My fight for justice appears to be over now. For how long can I keep fighting all alone?"
Krishnamoorthy also told IANS that with the Ansals now out on bail, the couple feared for their lives.
"As we came out of the Supreme Court premises, we were accosted by around 10 people who told us to 'watch out now' as the Ansals are out on bail. We know we are going to be knocked out before soon," she said.

Following Kim Davis Drama, Kentucky Legislators Debate Marriage Certificate Options
Last year, Kentucky clerk Kim Davis garnered national attention for refusing to comply with numerous court orders related to the landmark Supreme Court marriage equality ruling. Since then, legislators in Kentucky have been debating changes to marriage certificates in the state, and in their haste, they have created even more problems.
Senate Bill 5, which passed the Kentucky Senate by a vote of 30 to 8, would create two separate forms from which couples would choose when applying for a marriage license. One would list a "bride and groom" and the other, intended for same-sex couples, would list "first party and second party."
Then, in an attempt to fix the issue of two separate forms, Kentucky State Senator Morgan McGarvey introduced an amendment to create one form with the options "bride," "groom" and "spouse," which the Senate failed to accept. In trying to find common ground, Sen. McGarvey met with 96 County Clerks and Deputy Clerks from across Kentucky, including Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis.
"This pointless and mean-spirited legislation is driven by nothing more than animosity towards loving and committed LGBT couples seeking their constitutional right to a marriage licence," said HRC Legal Director Sarah Warbelow. "Kentucky lawmakers should abandon this senseless measure."
Pro-equality state lawmakers and advocates agree. ACLU of Kentucky's Executive Director Michael Aldridge stated that "separate forms for gay and lesbian Kentuckians constitute unequal treatment under the law. Pure and simple, this bill is motivated by the desire to accommodate discrimination against same-sex couples."
Chris Hartman, Executive Director of the Fairness Campaign testified in committee against two forms by stating that "separate has seldom been equal" and urged the state legislature to ensure the use of one unified form.
Several Kentucky couples from the dozens of plaintiffs in the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case responded to the attempt by their lawmakers to move forward with the legislation:
"It is unfortunate that our state lawmakers find it necessary to focus their efforts on creating separate marriage licenses to minimize the significance of same-gender relationships, especially as our state faces critical challenges in both healthcare and education." - Randy Johnson and Paul Campion
"Two marriage license forms are unnecessary and separate is never equal. This year is the 50th anniversary of the Kentucky Civil Rights Act. Kentucky led the South in ending discrimination in 1966, but sadly today it seems our state wishes to lead the south in creating discrimination." - Tim Love and Larry Ysunza-Love
"We were at our state capital last Wednesday, February 17th, lobbying for Senator McGarvey's amendment to SB5 to have one form for Kentucky marriage licenses. A separate and not equal form is unacceptable! County clerks themselves agree with the amendment, even Kim Davis! Kentucky lawmakers are going out of their way to not offer equal and fair solutions for same-sex couples!" - Michael De Leon and Greg Bourke
"Tammy and I support State Senator Morgan McGarvey's amendment to create one form with the options 'bride,' 'groom' and 'spouse,' because 'separate is not equal' (as reasonable people understand). We are honored to have been Kentucky plaintiffs in the marriage equality case which succeeded at SCOTUS and remain committed to fighting inequality and discrimination in our state." - Tammy and Kim Franklin-Boyd
"Our family is saddened by the continual attacks on Obergefell v Hodges. Senate Bill 5 does nothing but create more turmoil and waste of taxpayer dollars. As residents of Kentucky, we know that those dollars are needed elsewhere. We support Senator McGarvey's one form solution. We should know from history that separate is never equal." - The Yorksmith Family
Now SB 5 heads to the House for consideration where LGBT leaders hope will be amended to unify all marriage licenses in Kentucky to use the same form. HRC joins with our partners at the ACLU of Kentucky and the Fairness Campaign in calling on the Kentucky House to amend SB5 when it comes up for a vote.

it started with little hiccups, it went on with a bloom and it ended splendidly. that was what I can say about our latest trip to Cherating. as usual when there's a long off-days, people are looking into spend it somewhere else other than the town they're living in….we're included. so, the jam would be the hiccups. everything after that, were flowing smoothly...alhamdulillah.
hmm...mcm tak pernah jumpa air!
after makan memang senang sikit nak senyum!
one thing about Cherating this time around was the foreigners were lesser, so much lesser. at the hotel we stayed there's probably about 7-8 'mat saleh' were seen. at 'kampung budaya' (also in Cherating) the number was so little. hardly you can see them walking or hanging around at the local gift shops and cafés. according to one of the hotel staff that I manage to have conversation with…it's been like this since last November. he said when they ask one of the foreigners staying in their hotel it all might due to the unpleasant news about this country that being spread in the net. oh well...that was what they said.
fresh 'kepok lekor'...baru lepas gelek broo...!!
ole-ole from Cherating.
glancing back to our trips' itinerary - the kids were enjoying the pool, while the parent we really enjoying the locals' food. fresh keropok lekor, keropok keping, satar, nasi dagang were definitely in our food list. undeniably, the seafood too was so fresh. there's not so much thing you can do during the night especially for family like us, enjoy the dinner than back to the room. but during day time, you can go to Kuantan or Kemaman or walking by the beach…swimming and collecting the corals. letting the time flies slowly should be the mission when spending the off-days. obviously, for some folks this seems not so much 'extraordinary', but for the ordinary's like us…as long we can spend it in some other mean rather than staying at home…it's already awesome….wallahualam.

Tini and Abby conspired to get into a new 22-lb bag of dog food which was in a closet. Tini managed to eat a POUND of food. It was obvious she was uncomfortable so Ruth chose to take her to the vet to get the food out and help her feel better.
Dined out every single day
We usually make all our food on Sunday. We were going to make the perfect amount of food for the week, but our dinner was a #cookingfail so we had no food on hand. With the craziness of the week, we ended up going out for dinner every single night (oops!). Our highlight of the week was the Bass Bay Brewhouse.

Swap-bay is a swapping, selling and buying website and app, open to any member of the public with a smart phone and a computer with Internet access. Swap-bay was initially set up because I wanted to provide a cheaper alternative to eBay with better customer service and with a twist, hence the swapping part of the business. Our main goal is to be the leading website for everyone including business's for swapping, buying and selling online and to have the best customer service and the most affordable prices. We believe at swap-bay that users should be able to swap, buy or sell at an affordable price and have the best customer service as well. Our industry is predominantly the 16-65 year olds, however people outside of those ages can use the site. We believe our industry will be a growth industry and we envisage a fast growth following our marketing plan. We believe our main strengths will be our pricing which is approximately 50% cheaper than eBay, added with the fact people can swap there items, we believe swap-bay will be profitable within the first year. I personally bring the commitment, drive & enthusiasm to the business, which will drive the company forward. There will be 3 members of staff, 2 for customer service and 1 for web content editor. Our marketing campaign has already started on Facebook, but the real campaign will start approx. 1 - 2 months after full launch of website & App. That will consist of an improved and larger Facebook advertisement and an 30 second advert with Sky T.V. running for approx. 4-6 weeks. We estimate that approx. 30% of the UKs population will use Swap-Bay once we are fully established.
We are hoping for a launch date of early July as the website is already underway and with good progress, we have a holding/homepage which is live now @ www.swap-bay.com which is capturing peoples details wanting to register already.

It's been over a year since I posted, and this post will be the last. I've had a lot of fun here and learnt a great deal from all the people I've come into contact with through blogging, but since my very first post in 2011 I've also struggled with a number of recurring reservations and dilemmas that have never been resolved to my own satisfaction.
It seems to me that in the blogosphere, the pressures of finding weekly topics, of building and engaging with an audience, of being 'PR friendly' and of having a shot at that most holiest of grails – the viral post – results in blogs tending to cluster around a number of familiar styles within any given 'genre'.
In the case of expat blogs there are those that enthuse with florid prose adorned with diligently attributed photos, and those that emote with self-deprecation and dark humour, and those that proffer coping strategies, reinforced with panaceas of positivity and a self-published ebook on Amazon. This list isn't intended to be exhaustive, of course, but I'd be surprised if 90% of expat blogs couldn't be listed in around half a dozen categories such as these.
A pattern has emerged among parent blogs too, featuring, for example, the sassy and irreverent (usually moms), or the quirky & 'random' (usually dads), not to mention the wholesome and didactic, best delivered, in my view, by a spousal joint venture in association with Jesus.
I don't mean to be dismissive. The best of each type are very high quality, extremely popular, lucrative and almost certainly of great benefit to their readers. And there are still bloggers who break through with a new angle from time to time, although they will inevitably attract their own emulating cluster too.
I never found any new angles, but even if I had, the often conflicting requirements of authenticity, entertainment and discretion that made the writing process problematic for me would have remained. Should I name my children? Or refer to them by pet pseudonyms, which might arguably be more embarrassing to their futures selves? Should I be writing about something that I ought really to stop dwelling on, just because it might be a popular post? Is exaggeration for comic or rhetorical effect dishonest, or is it necessary and justified for the sake of impact?
In the end I realised that I was never going to be entirely comfortable with what I'd started, so I stopped and (eventually) started something new. That something new is a movie review blog aimed at the more discerning of Netflix Instant subscribers. You can take a look at it here if you like. It's more review than blog, in that I only talk about myself in the context of what a good movie means to me, but it is still a personal record of sorts. So far it's been even more fun for me and (if early twitter activity is anything to by) of more interest to others than this, so I'm going to stick with it and see where it takes me.
So long and thanks for all the page views!

When the economy tanked in 2008 and thousands of jobless people came calling, Pikes Peak Workforce Center employees had to find ways to reshape the agency — in more ways than one.
To become more visionary, efficient, energized and conditioned for the growing workload, they turned to a consultant, a motivational speaker and a personal-fitness trainer for on-the-clock workouts.
Now, the center's director, Charlie Whelan, is taking heat from state auditors and county commissioners for the nearly $300,000 he spent getting his team in fine fettle.
"I think we definitely have to take a much closer, detailed view of how those dollars are being spent," Commissioner Sallie Clark says, "and be sure not only the taxpayers are being well-served, but that the folks who need jobs get what they need out of the Workforce Center."
Whelan says the spending was justified and that the personal trainer issue has been settled by repaying federal funds used with money from a state jobs program.
"I think the Workforce Center is a wonderful asset for this region, and the staff there is incredibly dedicated and caring, and they do a fantastic job for those they serve," says Whelan, who's served as director since 2008 for the organization that according to records exceeds government performance standards in nearly every category. "I'm proud of how we've been able to adapt to the changes of these difficult times."
'A misuse of funds'
Funded with about $6 million in state and federal money, the Workforce Center is separate from the county. Oversight of the agency's operations is provided by a board of business people from El Paso and Teller counties, though member Dave Csintyan says it is "very much a strategic board," and doesn't monitor operational expenditures.
The center has to follow county purchasing rules, under an intergovernmental agreement. That means going to commissioners for approval of expenses exceeding $25,000. One-time expenditures under $25,000, Clark says, are reviewed by the county procurement department to make sure it meets purchasing guidelines before payment is authorized. But, she adds, the Workforce Center situation "does bring up questions about whether there are gaps we need to take care of."
In April, an anonymous tipster sent a letter to Ellen Golombek, state Department of Labor executive director, citing instances of what the tipster labeled "mismanagement of federal funds."
One allegation stated that in early 2011, after commissioners rejected a $38,520 expense for a computer camp and free computers for 20 at-risk youth, Whelan hosted the camp anyway. In June 2011, he spent about $17,000, including $12,895 to purchase 15 computers, records show, which were given to the kids.
"Since it seems that the cost of the computer program was below the $25,000 threshold for BOCC approval," Commissioner Peggy Littleton writes in an e-mail to the Indy, "I am not sure who approved of the expenditure, but I can assure you that it was not with my approval." In an interview, she says, "I think it was a misuse of funds."
Clark says most commissioners didn't oppose the idea of the camp, but wanted Whelan to pare the cost by using staff instead of a consultant. Whelan obliged.
The state Labor Department found the complaint to be "unsubstantiated," and noted in a Jan. 27 audit report that the expense is allowed under the Workforce Investment Act.
The tipster also alleged that Whelan hired three consultants without competitive bidding.
The first was Insight Systems Consulting. Whelan says he sought advice from local businessmen, other Workforce Centers and the Labor Department before hiring Insight for four contracts totaling $249,877 that spanned May 2009 through Jan. 31, 2012. (A partner in the firm, Elaine Gagne, lives in Colorado Springs, and there's a Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce testimonial on Insight's website.)
Two of the four contracts exceeded $25,000; both received commission approval.
Justifying Insight
Whelan says he needed Insight to help "retool and reposition" his agency as it downsized by about 24 percent, to 54 positions, and its budget by 12 percent, to $6 million, even as customer traffic surged by nearly 50 percent from 2008 to 2009.
He says Insight helped flatten management and cross-train employees. Gagne was hired to reshape the agency's mission, vision, values and behavioral standards; "identify and create charters for key projects"; implement key projects; "create [a] monthly five-point staff survey"; and "initiate leadership development," according to contract documents.
Whelan also hired Career TEAM Plus, LLC, of Connecticut, for a $13,925 no-bid contract in April 2010. Career TEAM's services were provided by Mike Fazio, a nationally known motivational speaker. He was hired to provide sales training for employees charged with drumming up jobs from employers; to find ways of "leveraging technology" for efficiency; to establish "a strong and memorable public brand"; and to help the center by "energizing and motivating workforce development professionals in a difficult job market," the center wrote in a memo to county procurement, justifying the sole-source selection.
Whelan defends the expense in an interview, saying workforce employees had "no formal training at all in terms of case work" before Fazio came. After he and Insight finished, Whelan says, employees increased their capability from 50 cases a year to 80.
The tipster complained the contracts hadn't yielded "any discernable return on investment" and diverted funds away from serving the jobless.
But the Labor Department ruled the complaint unsubstantiated and, in a memo to the Indy in response to questions, said, "The scope of the audit was not to determine if the Pikes Peak Workforce Center obtained value for the money. The State's role is simply to determine if these contracts met the requirements set forth by the local board and were allowable. Yes, the contracts followed procedures and were determined allowable."
Personal attention
From at least 2008 through last month, Workforce Center workers used a federally funded personal trainer while getting paid to exercise at the Workforce Center's previous location on East Pikes Peak Avenue. During 2010, it paid $28,341 for the personal trainer.
State Labor Department auditors substantiated the complaint and ruled the expense was "excessive" and improperly covered with federal funds. The state ordered Whelan to repay it, which he did by tapping state job money, which is allowed.
Whelan, who's spent most of his career in the private sector, explains the expense by saying the state Labor Department audited the Workforce Center annually and never disallowed it. Labor Department spokesman Bill Thoennes says routine audits in 2009, 2010 and 2011 didn't examine the fitness center because it's not within the normal scope of audit procedures. The later examination of 2010 was done because it was cited in the tipster complaint.
Regardless, Whelan says employees can no longer exercise during work time at the new Citizens Service Center fitness room.
County spokesman Dave Rose says that space, fully equipped when the county bought the former Intel site, is run under the county's wellness program, which strives to reduce sick time and health care costs and increase worker productivity. It's staffed with an attendant and an intern to assure proper use of the equipment.
In an interview, Littleton calls the personal trainer expense "an irresponsible use of taxpayer funds," and adds, "I never saw something like that approved [by commissioners], because the answer would be 'no.'"
For Clark, the audit suggests commissioners should exert more oversight of Whelan's operation.
"I do think we need a report back from Charlie about what those consultants did and how they impacted the Workforce Center," Clark says. "The audit report we got from the state says it's unsubstantiated, but it doesn't mean we wouldn't question the value of that consulting contract. I think it's important we follow up and get the answers to those questions."
Whelan says he doesn't plan to hire any more consultants.

Bass Fishing 101
Bass Fishing Techniques
Every smart bass fisherman who has been fishing for a while has his or her own bass fishing techniques that just has to catch that large bass. And it doesn't matter if you fish for a hobby or for a living you have to be constantly looking for that hottest new lure or that just perfect rod or reel. You have to continuously be trying to educate yourself on that hot new ideal for catching that big bass.
As you spend more and more time becoming a great bass fisherman you will learn what lures work best and what time of the day that particular lure will work best. You need to learn which bass lure will work best with what weather conditions.
In order to catch bass you have to be where they are and you have to present them with a bait or lure that they will be interested in. Remember a hungry bass will also respond to a sound or sounds. Ask around on particular lakes as to what lure or lures work best on that lake and test out the suggestions your given. The best thing you can remember is if they aren't biting slow down. And make sure your using the right bass lure.
During the springtime position your boat in shallow water and cast to deep water. In the Fall position your boat in deep water and cast to shallow water. And learn your lake well. I really suggest that your bass boat at least be equipped with a depth finder. At the very least you need to know how deep the water your fishing in is so that you can be sure that your fishing at the right depth. Fish a few feet too shallow and you won't find the bass. Or you could be fishing to deep. You have to learn where the bass are at all times of the year in each particular lake and you have to fish where the bass are located.
When the bass stop biting in the day time and the days heat up it's a good ideal to go to night fishing for the bass. If your lake water is at 65 degrees or over in the day time you will do much better night fishing for bass. As the summer gets hotter the bass will almost always stay deep so your going to need to try fishing at twenty feet or somewhere around that depth. If a certain part of a lake has cooler portions of water in it try fishing there especially when the heat of summer gets going.
Unless you are fishing with a bass lure that is supposed to make noise practice getting your bass lure into the water as quite as possible. Cast beyond where you think the bass are and pull your lure back through where you think the bass are. Once you get to the point where you can do this you will catch bass.
Nice Catch Of Bass Here.
Bass Fishing Tips And Tricks
As in anything else practice makes perfect. Practice your casting technique so that you will be able to put your bass lure into the water exactly where you want it. As soon as you get your casting technique down you will quickly find that your catching more bass.
You will need to learn that your best casting technique will be with your wrist and not your arm or shoulder. You want to make sure that you do not overfill your reel with line or this will affect your casting technique. Some things to remember are.
1. Stick to basic dark jig colors in almost all lakes. If your fishing in farm ponds ask the farmer who owns the pond all about that particular pond or lake. You need to know where the deep holes are and you need to ask what the farmer has caught bass on.
2. When your casting always concentrate on where you want your bass lure to land. If you throw a lure on top of the bass your only going to scare it away. You want to cast way beyond the bass and then reel the lure back past the bass. If you can get to where your doing this you can catch some big bass. Especially in small farm ponds or lakes.
3. If you think its a strike always reel in tight before you try to set the hook. Once you learn to do this you'll find yourself catching a lot more bass.
4. In order to catch bass you must know the lake your fishing in. And what the bass like to feed on. You need to present a lure similar to the bait the bass is feeding on and you will become a successful bass fisherman.
5. Always keep in mind that every bass you catch can reveal clues on how to catch another.
6. If you fish a lake often make notes on when the bass bite best and what lure they hit the best. You will find that patterns will develop and you will often catch a bass in almost the same position in the lake where you caught one last time.
7. If your taking your bass home always examine your bass's stomachs to see what they were feeding on and make notes so you will remember. Return all the bass you can back to the water you catch them in. You never know that 3 - 4 pound bass just might grow up someday to a giant 10 - 12 pound bass.
If you don't catch bass in one part of the lake switch to a different location. Is the wind a factor. If so consider a different lure. Check your water temperatures often and if the water temperature is at 65 or above fish deep or consider night bass fishing.
Are you using a lure that matches up with the lake , the time of year , and does it look like something the bass may be feeding on. Know your lake. If you don't ask around and try to talk to other fisherman on the same lake or in the same area and ask them what they are catching bass on.
If you try everything and you still catch no bass maybe they just aren't biting that day and you'll have better luck if you try on a different day. You can still always practice your casting technique for when the big bass are biting.
Grasshopper Adventure With Bass
Here's a trick I'll tell you about. Just a few years ago I was fishing on a 3 acre farm pond and I thought the brisk wind was keeping me from catching any bass. But then I noticed two teenaged boys in a little cove catching one bass after another. And some nice ones to. When I walked around to them they told me they were catching the bass on big grasshoppers they were catching in the tall grass up on the hill above the farm pond. They told me that the bass always hit great on grasshoppers when the wind was blowing hard. Let me tell you. I ran up that hill and a few minutes later I landed a six pound largemouth bass on a large live grasshopper. So it does pay to learn what the habits are of the bass on a particular pond or lake. The bass in that pond it seems always fed on the grasshoppers that a brisk wind would drop right into the lake.
