Two years ago we predicted that then-unknown Detroit quintet the Rioteers would land a major-label record deal and write a WB sitcom theme. We also pointed out that few people actually care about true power pop. Turns out we were wrong and right. The Rioteers are still unknown. The Rioteers, you see, merit the sugary hyperbole weve spread on em like so much raspberry jam. Theirs is a hum-a-along dust-up so soaring (yeah, thats right soaring), so comfit-like and so well-executed that it pops with enough power to sprout new hairs on Robin Zanders noggin. The bands A World Away is one of those tri-minute turns that can ping-pong in the cranium for days, and if it were ever released as a proper single itd be Song of the Year, whatever year that might be. After a months-long exile, and despite lineup changes and other upheavals, the Rioteers are back, with bassist Paul DeHotness, drummer Skip DeHotness and lead guitarist John Krebs in tow. Heres Rioteers singer-guitarist Tim McHughs monomanias this week:
5. Verse-chorus-verse: My latest Holy Grail guitar? A Gretsch Duo Jet.
4. Songs about food: Neighborhood bakery bread is the only way to go.
3. Bin suffocation: If you can find a copy of the long out-of-print Donovan album Open Road, grab it.
2. A trillion dead chickens cant be wrong: Am I the only one whos noticed that KFC is using Sweet Home Alabama in the ads? Im baffled.
1. The old in-out: Between the Downing Street Memo and the doctored environmental document, whats it gonna take for us to throw the bum out?

So, I guess that you have heard about quantum mechanics. No? Well it is a branch of Theoretical Physics. Quantum Mechanics deal with the study of understanding the behavior of matter on the scale of sub-atomic particles. Well quantum computing is the study (right now mostly theoretical study) of computing systems using the phenomenons of quantum computing, like superposition. Quantum Computers don't have the same mechanism as the normal digital computers. The computers that we use work on … [Read more...]

New York City school bus strike
The school bus strike in New York City has continued through its second week despite the union's offer to resume work. The strike originated because the city refuses to include Employee Protection Provisions in new contracts with the private bus companies that run the routes. The city claims the provisions violate competitive bidding laws, but the provisions have been included for decades.
The union offered to resume work for up to three months if the city agreed to postpone its date for reopening bidding on the contracts and joined the union at the bargaining table with the bus companies. The city refused because they insist the employee protection provisions are exclusively between the union and the bus companies. This refusal has kept the burden on the families of children to find a way to school each day.
The city's goal of reducing costs through competitive bidding is understandable, but insisting that they play no part in the negotiations is not. The city has the absolute power to choose which bids to select, and they alone hold the checkbook. There is no doubt that the issue is within the city's reach, yet they take no responsibility for the effect the strike has on over 150,000 children in NYC. The city claims that postponing open bidding would ensure that the same contracts are in effect for the next year, but this is a lazy excuse. Surely the so-called "greatest city in the world" could negotiate an alternative; there has to be a middle ground that offers job security to the bus drivers and saves the city money on the contracts.
Brooklyn cable technicians fired for trying to join union
In the New York City borough of Brooklyn, 23 cable technicians were fired this week after they tried to talk to a vice president about why their labor negotiations had not progressed. The techs formed a union a year ago but had yet to reach a collective bargaining agreement. Seventy members gathered in a cafeteria in hopes of speaking to management and were told that management was too busy. Many went back to work and those who decided to wait were fired for striking, despite the fact they never refused to resume work.
Workers, mayoral candidates, and clergy joined to protest the firings on Wednesday. So far no changes have been made, and it appears that the cable giant wants to hire replacements on a permanent basis. The union will seek legal ramifications for Cablevision's bad faith bargaining.
American Airways agrees deal with union
The last union representing American Airlines employees agreed to terms in the US Airways deal. The Transport Workers Union of America represents almost 21,000 workers, and the agreement could give them a raise if the merger moves forward. The merger is in its final stages and all three unions are now on board with the framework for a labor deal.
Kansas considers limiting collective bargaining for teachers
Kansas is considering a bill that would limit collective bargaining rights for teachers, but the bill is not as bad as it sounds. The state is concerned with the quality of its public education and wants to eliminate teacher evaluations from contract negotiations. The hope is that allowing school districts to come up with their own evaluation measures will ensure that the most skilled teachers are retained.
Opponents of the bill fear that it is a wolf in sheep's clothing – that the bill's hidden objective is to weaken unions and bring an end to collective bargaining. There is always a chance that the facial purpose of a law will cover up its true intent, so we can only hope that this bill, if passed, does not start Kansas on a slippery slope.

Linking up with Doodle Bugs! Five for Friday Time!
This was one exciting week! We had our school wide "Amazing Race" style play day (A.K.A Field Day) and it went pretty smoothly (the planning/coordinating was a whole other story, but you know how that goes!).
I really wanted to incorporate our new ipads into the day so that it would get all the teachers and students using them (especially teachers who hadn't touched an ipad before). I also wanted to incorporate QR Codes in somehow. So, we came up with an Amazing Race style play day where the kids had to scan the QR codes to get their clue that would tell them where to go next. We modified some Dr.Seuss quotes to fit our needs. Scan the code below for a sample!
|FYI You need a QR Scanner app on your mobile device in order to scan the code.
I was also lucky enough to be able to go on my daughter's field trip to a local farm! My daughter is in Kindergarten. Those kids are just adorable. This is my little munchkin on her very first field trip....she was very concerned that on the wagon ride and the bus ride there were no seat belts. She said her teacher, "really should have thought about that before taking them there"....kids.
|That's Charlotte The Pig behind her (A.K.A. Bacon...yes I said that. We have a very strong love for bacon in our house).
The rest of the week was kind of a winding down time at school. We wrapped up a couple units and started working on our end of year memory books. I love doing a memory book for them to take home as a keepsake on the last day.
That makes my day every.single.time! Enjoy!
That makes my day every.single.time! Enjoy!

Reverse threads in your daily life
Raise your hand if you've ever tightened your pedals or BB cups when you wanted to loosen them... If you didn't know and you SHOULD know this, one pedal and one BB cup is reverse threaded. Meaning Lefty tighty, righty loosey. Don't even quote me on this as I screw it up almost EVERY time I work on these parts, and I had a cheat sheet written down somewhere but lost it. I think it is the Right BB cup and the left Pedal. Like I said, DO NOT take my word for it.
But how often do you see reverse threads in regular life. Here is one that I totally was NOT expecting.
A toilet lever. The lock ring that holds the lever to the tank is reverse threaded. After thinking about it for a while it makes sense given the direction which you press the lever to flush. If it wasn't reverse threaded every press would work towards loosening the unit.
When removing the old lever I didn't know about the threading issue and totally stripped out the lock ring. The whole thing ring, and threads were all plastic and they ended up just shredding. had to hack saw it off. Got one with metal threads and lockring this time. But in a few years when I go to take it off how am I going to remember that it is reverse threaded?
Oh another one I came across recently. My friends Sears weed eater. To access the compartment that houses the string require unscrewing a bolt that is reverse threaded. Of course it is clearly labeled on the unit which way to unscrew to open it, but that didn't do a whole heck of lot of good for two real men who ended up spending 1/2hr trying to figure it out.

I need to write more blogs. I know. It's been so hard to focus lately and I'm intimidated by the workload I have left. But I got the questions together and now I'm going to find some time for that interview. I'll call the doctor later today. From there, I'll either set up an interview or email him the questions. Today I'll finish the video (I forgot to add music) and tomorrow i'll reserach the last question. I plan on being done by June 1st and the 2 weeks after that will be for organizing the presentation.

Ron Tanner is a wonderful writer (check out his book covers, below) and a good friend who recently recommended The Greatest Show to online readers of the literary journal West Branch, published by Bucknell University.
Ron's close read of the stories is spot on, and he revealed things about the book I hadn't even known. That happens. Writers are not the sole masters of our material. Readers always get the final say. Which is part of the fun.


text: Hey, I was fooling around with my TE Commando 15 the other day and I noticed that I get a really excellent tone from it. My technique is heavy pick attack near the bridge with a .73mm pick (just like Mike Dirnt of Green Day). My settings for the amp are as follows: Gain: Cranked up all the way Bass: +2 Mid: Cranked up all the way Treble: +2 Deep switch: off Mid shift switch: off Bright switch: on This tone works really well for me. It has a slight distortion and has a ton of punch--like more than you can believe. If you have a TE rig, you gotta pull out that dusty old pick and try these settings!!! Now lets see your TE settings!

Little Big League (1994)
3 mistakes
Directed by: Andrew Scheinman
Starring: Ashley Crow, John Ashton, Luke Edwards, Timothy Busfield
Factual error: Under the rules of Major League Baseball, a team owner cannot also serve as the team's manager; it constitutes a conflict of interest.
Other mistake: When they do the SPECIAL play, and the pitcher throws the ball to the first baseman, and the first baseman looks for the ball along with the guard and 2 to 3 players. The ball is really at 2nd base, a trick play, but there is NO base coach.Nhogan
Continuity mistake: In the scene after the Twins lost their first game while Billy and his grandpa were leaving the field, Billy was walking at his grandpa's right side. Then the scene cuts and shows their back. When the scene shows their front again Billy is walking at his grandpa's left side.

The large crowd that attended last Thursday's Yoruba Summit on restructuring was large. Those in attendance cut across religious, political and ethnic boundaries.
The venue of the programme, Lekan Salami Sports Complex, Ibadan, was filled to the brim. In fact, at some point, security agencies had to start screening people at the entrance to ensure the summit was not disrupted by hoodlums.
Traditional rulers, religious and political leaders thronged the capital city of Oyo State to be part of the history. People came from parts of the South-West, South-South and South-East. The dignitaries include the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi; Chief John Nwodo, President General, Ohaneze Ndigbo; Chief Olu Falae, a former Secretary to the Federal Government; Afenifere chieftain, Prof Babatunde Adeniran; a former Minister of Education; Mr Ayodele Fayose, Governor of Ekiti State; Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Afenifere chieftain; Chief Reuben Fasoranti, Afenifere leader; Chief Afe Babalola,(SAN); Mr Walter Ofonagoro, a former Minister of Information; Chief Adeniyi Akintola(SAN), governorship aspirant in Oyo State; Senator Ike Nwachukwu, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs; Dr Doyin Okupe, a former media aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan; Chief Mojisoluwa Akinfenwa, a former leader of the Alliance for Democracy; Dr Olatokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu, daughter of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo; former governors of Ogun and Ondo States, Otunba Gbenga Daniel and Dr Olusegun Mimiko; Senator Gbenga Kaka; Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation; Prof Idowu Sofola, President, Yoruba Council of Elders; Mr Wale Oshun; the Orangun of Ila, Oba Wahab Oyedokun; Oba Lekan Balogun, Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland; Oba Latifu Adebimpe, Ashipa Balogun of Ibadanland; Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu, retired Archbishop of Methodist Church Nigeria; the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, who was represented by Bashorun of Oyo, High Chief Yusuf Ayoola; Mr Babatunde Oduyoye, AD chieftain; Dr Yemi Farunmbi, foremost Yoruba leader; Senator Babafemi Ojudu; Chief Gani Adams, Oodua Peoples Congress leader; Chief Labake Lawal; Otunba Adebola Olaife representing Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
Though the turn-out was so impressive, some people at the event wondered why five governors from the South-West did not attend the meeting. The governors who were not physically seen at the programme are Rauf Aregbesola of Osun, Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo, Amosun, Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos and Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo. Also, a former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, was conspicuously absent.
Just before the programme started, Dr Kunle Olajide, Secretary General of the Yoruba Council of Elders, announced that all the governors were invited and they were being expected. But, it was Governor Fayose of Ekiti State that was in attendance. Many people felt the importance of the summit, especially at this time when the clamor for restructuring is loud, should have spurred the governors to attend. Meanwhile, Ajimobi was said to have travelled out of the country a week earlier.
Looking at the array of the people at the summit, it appeared that majority were from the Peoples Democratic Party while one could count those from the All Progressives Congress on the tip of the fingers. In order not to attract unnecessary rivalry or add political colouration, Olajide, the Chairman, Planning Committee of the summit, spelt out the creeds that would guide the meeting.
He said, "There should be no reference to political party; no delusive reference to any ethnic group; no negative comments about past or current presidents of the country among others".
In spite of this, some of the speakers still alluded to political party. Former Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State said restructuring was part of the PDP's programmes that would be followed to the letter.
Fayose, who was repeatedly applauded for attending the event in person, was a bit cautious in his speech. He pointedly told the Yoruba leaders there that they were the main cogs in the wheel of progress of the zone.
He said, pointing to the gathering,"You, our Yoruba leaders, are the problems we have. You see those our forefathers like Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Chief Samuel Akintola have done their best. It is now left for us if we cannot continue on the good legacy they left behind. If a leopard has dogs at its back like soldiers, it will fight and die like dogs. But, if it leads dogs, they would fight together and win. You our elders should fight like leopard. Friendship does not want the truth. Where we are now? We, Yorubas, are our own problems."
Apparently alluding to the opinion of former President Olusegun Obasanjo who feels that restructuring is not the answer to the country's problem, Fayose said, "This is a well-attended meeting. Look at kings, religious and other reputable leaders of Yoruba. After now, you see one of our leaders on television saying restructuring is not the way out. There is no sense in such talks. A good leader should be on the side of the majority of the people. Some of those people were not supposed to have come from Yoruba. They are selfish; they only think of themselves".
He said he was not surprised that he did not see other governors from the zone there. According to him, "the lion has roared" to scare them. But, he said, he would talk and no one could gag him. "Nobody can kill whoever God does not kill. If they throw me into the river, I will be thrown out like Jonah; if they throw me into fire, I will be unscathed like Shadrach, Mesach and Abednego, and if thrown into lion's den, I will come out like Daniel".
Fani-Kayode, in his address, said, "Today's fight is a real one. They have turned us into slaves in this country. Let's stop pretending. We Yoruba people are very restrained, civilized, educated, very accommodating and liberal and, sometimes, that is used against us. The situation whereby we are second class citizens is unacceptable to me and to majority of Yoruba people. We knew what happened to Awolowo, what happened to Abiola and Obasanjo when he was there. They brought Sharia, Boko Haram. It's time for us to think again. We should do restructuring. If they say they don't want restructuring, then we call for Oduduwa Republic, end of story".
, who was the Chairman of the event, called for the outcome of the Sovereign National Conference, saying, "What we need today is the outcome of the conference which shall be the people's constitution and shall not be subject to any amendment by any of the organs of the existing Senate or House of Representatives. If necessary, it may be referred to a referendum. It is my view that the people's constitution should be in place before we attain 60 years after independence.
"It is restructuring that would curb over-concentration of power in the centre and reduce corruption, promote harmony and unity and make the country metamorphose into a nation".
Igbos speak
Nwodo, Nwachukwu and Ofonagoro said: "Since 1963, the people of Nigeria have never been allowed to write a constitution that will determine the way they are ruled. Is it wrong to have a say in your country? Is it right to be ruled by a document that you are not party to? What we are saying today is that the people of Nigeria must have a say in the way that they are governed. It is not only the Yoruba nation that is saying it, we the Igbo are saying it loud and clear.
"Many people have tried to destroy restructuring and I am saying that it is a ploy by some Nigerians to monopolise the God-given mineral resources in southern Nigeria. And those who are doing this do not love Nigeria."
Participants boo speakers who speak English
Like it happens in meetings where English Language is the means of communication, the summit was not an exception. But some participants believed to be members of Oodua People's Congress resisted this as speakers spoke in English. They booed anyone who spoke in English. All pleas by the organizers that the gathering also had some non-Yoruba speaking groups in attendance fell on deaf ears. Having this at the back of their minds, speakers like Ooni of Ife, Fayose, Niyi Akintola and others spoke in Yoruba while some tendered their apologies using non-Yoruba present at the occasion as an excuse.

One goal enough for Blue Devils to beat Red Hornets
..."In my mind, especially at this level, with a young team and everything, if they're getting shots on net, you got a chance of putting one in," Blue Devils coach Ron Dumont said. "To me, it's just another lesson learned. Some nights they're going in, some nights they're not. When they're not going in, you got to do what you got to do to ultimately get the win."
Guimond made amends the rest of the night for her one lapse, stopping four shots during a Blue Devils power play that spilled over into the second period. The sophomore made 14 saves total in the first, then 14 more in the second, shutting out the Blue Devils in the middle frame.
"My biggest issue was that when the shots were coming in from the point, or from outside, I could see it from the bench. There was no screen," Dumont said. "She was seeing everything, and she's a good goalie. If she sees it, she's going to stop it. We weren't getting traffic up front."

We can't wait for this year to end.
It's not your imagination. In the first three months of this year, we saw a huge increase in celebrities ("Notable people" as the BBC puts it) passing away (Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38329740). Admittedly the number has actually dropped back to normal levels, but the damage is still done.
And we feel sadness. For some, it's serious – people have died who really affected us growing up, even if we didn't realise. And their mortality hits us like a block of ice to the stomach. To others, it's become a joke or a parody. "2016, when will you be satisfied??" But the joke has gone beyond satire, and suddenly everything is starting to seem a bit strange.
And between that all, you get people who can't be bothered with it at all. "You didn't know these people", they say. "How can you be sad about them? This is unhealthy".
And is it unhealthy? That's what I'm starting to think about.
We probably do over identify with people we haven't met. I recently had coffee with a guy I met at the Fringe, who has accumulated a certain amount of fame. In fact, a friend of mine is a huge fan of one of his youtube channels. And to me that's funny, because for me he's this funny, charming dude who likes coffee and plays guitar hero and is overall just chill and normal, so I ask him; what it's like to have fans?
"So weird". He takes out his phone. "I was at this party in New York, and after I left people were messaging my friend like 'Was that the guy from the show?' People will just tweet me saying things like 'Just saw you walking on 58th street'. And it's nice, but what am I meant to say to that? 'Yep, that was me. Walking around. Existing.'"
And that's it because of course, these are just people, walking around, existing, doing stuff with their daily lives. Like, sometimes to entertain myself, I try to imagine what Obama is doing right now. Walking around. Chilling. Not thinking about, and yet painfully aware of, the fact that almost everyone in the world knows who he is – that some mad blue haired girl in Scotland is thinking about him right now, imagining what it's like to be him. But I digress. The point is – we build these people up, into things which they are not, and that is true. And to some extent, perhaps it is unhealthy. Because we end up not with the full understanding of who that person is – but the snapshot, the public persona, and we assume that that is them and who they are. And in some ways, we don't think of them as human. Perhaps they are not even mortal. So when it turns out that that is not them, and who they are is different, and more than we first realised, often there is a sense of betrayal. How can they be human, like you or I?
But do people deserve to be looked down on for this?
I never listened to Wham! Or Prince, or David Bowie. I vaguely remember seeing Star Wars as a kid, but never knew much about Carrie Fisher. So honestly, all this celebrity stuff kind of passes me by. I don't really get it.
But I do spend a lot of time thinking about death. I work in a care home, so a lot of my day to day life is spent forming close emotional bonds with people who will likely die soon. What's more – people close to me tend to die. That's been a part of my life for over a decade now. And those close to me who haven't died – well, usually they're grieving. So I'm surrounded by grief and I'm surrounded by death. And I don't want to call myself the resident expert on death or anything – but, well, it is kind of my area.
So here's the thing; I can't comment on how healthy or unhealthy our overall relationship with "Notable people" is. But what I do know is – you cannot have grief without love. Because grief is love – it is the loss of it. And if you love something, you're going to grieve it, at some point. And if you care about something, if you let it into your life and it shapes your thoughts, your ideas, your hopes and your ambitions, then the loss of that hurts all the more. And of course it will hurt. Even if you never shared breathing space with that thing. And if it represents something which helped you cope in this world then you will feel that loss, as you felt that gratitude. For many people, that was Prince, that was George Michael and that was Carrie Fisher. And that is not shallow, it is not wrong. You grieve something – that's the price you pay for loving it, the pain you feel from losing it. There is nothing wrong with that. It's inevitable.
I read someone saying that people are cunts because they only care about famous people. "Fuck everyone dying in Syria, right?" I wonder – I have stronger emotions about my dad dying than I do about Syria, even though I recognise Syria as a bigger tragedy. Am I a cunt because of this?
(That's a rhetorical question. The answer is no.)
So I dunno. Ultimately, you feel how you have to feel, and loss will always hurt. You will form connections to people who you feel like you can understand, even if you never meet them. And that's fine. Be considerate, understand that they are human, understand that having someone you've never met speak to you like you're best buds might feel a little uncomfortable. But if you feel grief over the loss of someone you never met – that's ok. That means you loved something. That's kind of cool.

As you have read in the last blog I had booked a further session on Riverside in my quest for a 20lb Carp, for 24 hours from Monday lunchtime to Tuesday. I also had several tuition sessions booked for a number of different disciplines and targeting different species. As the half term week progressed I picked up two more tuition bookings and the result had been that I have been fishing every day from last Saturday to today Saturday 1st of June.
I started on Saturday with a trip Boat Fishing with Teamshed Charters out of Bude. It was another great trip with lots of sharks again but also some nice Pollock that went down very well on Sunday Night, cooked by the chef in my local.
On Sunday I was booked to do tuition with three youngsters' aged from ten to fourteen. They have had tuition from me last year which was really more of a fishing experience / taster session, we had 19 Carp in a three hour session fishing method feeders with 6mm Marukyu JPz as hook baits. This session however they wanted to really start to learn from the beginning, float fishing for Rudd on the drop and then progressing to fishing on the deck to try and single out some of the bigger bream.
The boys were on a week's holiday at Forda Lodges and Cottages were we targeted Middle Pond. Krilled Maggots took Rudd after Rudd and some decent fish to over 1lb 8oz. This went on for an hour and a half during which time I was feeding small balls of Marukyu EFG 131 making the balls as tight as possible so they got down on the bottom in preparation for some bream action.
A quick change of the set up with the shot all grouped near the hook to bomb the bait down passed the Rudd and a change to 8mm Meat Cubes dusted with Marukyu Krill Powder, first cast one of the lads was into a 3lb bream. All the boys managed some decent bream action and I was pleased that they quickly mastered striking at lift bites.
So after a good session on Sunday I was back on Wednesday for a double session. The morning was more Rudd bashing with Mum, Dad, a 5 year old and his older brother aged 8. Great fun for a few hours in lovely weather and I managed to burn my head and face as the one thing I forgot was some sun block. Mum did the best with run of much bigger fish having instinctively decided to fish under an overhanging bush and switching to 6mm JPz because she really didn't enjoy using maggots
Wednesday Afternoon I was with some more youngsters this time brother and sister had both fished with whips before but wanted to step up to a rod and reel. One of the things I love about doing tuitions is the buzz I get from seeing people improve in a short time. Mum had been fishing another pond and turned up near the end of the session. Both kids just happened to be casting at the same time, one right handed and one left, we were stood directly behind them as two rods sent the tackle sailing out in perfect unison with both of them taking the same perfect trajectory and landing ten feet past the baited area then being carefully reeled back into position. It was great to watch and mum, who is a proficient angler herself, said she could never have the patience to get them to do things properly. So another set of happy customers and very satisfied I went home to get sorted for my trip to Riverside.
Thursday morning was a change of scene as I headed over to the newest lake a Forda, Meadow Pond. I helped to design and build this lake in early 2011, stocked the fish in Feb 2012 and then caught the first fish from it last summer. It is matured so well most of the guests can't believe it's only a few years old. We stocked Meadow with Bream, Tench and Crucian Carp, all between 8 – 10 inches. With no silvers to worry about maggots are the order of the day on Meadow and obviously Krilled as they have been working so well for me. Just a couple of small balls of Marukyu EFG 131 to kick thing off then simple little and often feeding with maggots. With a very light set up and again fishing the shot down near the hook and the bait hard on the deck for lift bites. The tactics brought a fish a cuck for my two students, this time father and son had never fished before but wanted to give it a try and also having witnessed some of the previous Rudd bashing sessions wanted something a little more challenging. For nearly the full three hours the fish kept on coming and both students were very naturally talented and easy to coach. Yet again I left some very happy customers who had wanted to catch Tench and Crucians. The nice thing was that things happen a little bit slower as the bites often have to develop. With the Rudd fishing things happen so quick it can be difficult for people to learn, yes they catch lots of fish but fishing for Tench, Crucians and Breem only they have to get the timing of the strike, the depth to fish at and shotting right as well as learning to fish accurately over the same spot along with how to feed correctly. I'm definitely going to use Meadow pond more in future for people who have fished before and want to advance a little because it is such a good grounding to move on from.
Thursday afternoon I had one final Tuition session booked for the three boys who had been out with me on the Boat Trip on Saturday and done Tuition on Sunday. This time it was to be a special treat for them, Carp Fishing on Top Pond at Forda. They are a little young and inexperienced to be allowed to fish this pond alone. But with luck they would learn a lot about unhooking and handling the fish as well as how we we're going to catch them. I know these carp love pellets so the method mix was half Marukyu EFG 131 and SDP 1mm protein Pellets. Hook baits were 10mm JPz, Krilled Meat or Corn.
Now these three lads had an amazing session last year carp fishing and I remembered it was very wet and overcast so I had them all sat in my JRC Quad Continental 2 Man which is enormous. This year is was high pressure and from experience I knew the method would not catch as well but given the age and ability of the lads surface fishing was going to be difficult for them and this session was all about the experience of fishing for bigger harder fighting carp and then dealing with them and returning them.
I always get the jitters when things aren't looking good for lots of bites but Forda Carp never let me down, after a few casts around to try and find some fish we were away with each of the boys having two carp each to about 9lb. The boys were really good and took it in turns to take the runs so they all had a couple of fish each.
Finally I thought my busy week was at an end, however at the end of session the boy's gran asked if I could do tuition with her so that she could take the boys fishing and have something to do rather than just sit there. No problem, I arrange to come back that evening after going home for tea and again we headed to Meadow Pond after Bream, Tench and Crucians. Basically with similar result to the previous session on Meadow other than the fishing gaining pace towards last light as opposed to tailing off at little towards Lunch time on the previous session. We finished at 8.45pm and I decided to have a few chucks myself, I managed a Tench that was remarkably bigger than the rest. Considering I personally stocked these fish at 8- 10 inches and this one was getting on for 15+ inches she must have a growth gene far more advanced than the rest.
Monday I went up to Riverside for 24 hours session, you can read all about that in my previous blog so as you can imagine by the end of Thursday I was a little ragged, With nothing booked or planned for Friday I was looking forward to a rest. The weather was really warm Friday and I couldn't bring myself to stay home so found myself back at Meadow Pond for five hours in the afternoon. Similar conditions today and I sorted the gear out for some floater fishing on Top Pond taking 11 carp during four hours. Early on I was struggling a bit to hook up the fish taking my floaters. I switched from a standard controller to one of the Korda Cruise Controllers and the fish just started to hook themselves. I had a good old chuckle with one of the newly arrived guests when I explained that the Korda Controller was far more efficient at hooking the carp that I was.
Sunday tomorrow and after fishing for seven days on the run I should really do something else, however thoughts are that the wife won't be up before 10am and my floater gear is still in the Land Rover all read to go………… 5.00am start?
Back to work next week for a good rest.

You mean you don't like Manchester?
And, of course, they're right. Is my dislike of Manchester simply a Londoner's distaste for provincial cities? But then I quite like Liverpool and Newcastle.
I suppose my attitude towards the city is to some extent influenced by its football teams. When there is a United home game, the M6 is full of people travelling up from London and the South-East. Some of them no doubt have Manchester origins, but not all of them.
But then is Manchester City a more authentic club? One of my Manchester friends who has little interest in football manages to spit out the words with a unique venom. Having said that, my doctor, who is a nice guy, is a City supporter.
I suppose my problem with City is that they are one of those clubs, like Spurs, whose fans think they are much bigger than they really are - which is why I call them the 'Massives'. The stadium is splendid, albeit provided on very favourable terms by Moonchester City Council, but it's in a run down area of East Manchester where parking is difficult.
Not that that looks like being an issue for us next year. Here is your first cut and paste web guide on finding next year's grounds. Clue on the club: I sat next to one of its directors at lunch once and he was a potato farmer:

Ford Motor Co. rejects Trump's claims on Mexico car plant
Ford Motor Company is disputing GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump's claims that he altered the automaker's future expansion plans in the U.S. and Mexico.
"Ford has not spoken with Mr. Trump, nor have we made any changes to our plans," it said in a statement released Monday.
"We decided to move the F-650 and the F-750 medium-duty trucks to Ohio Assembly in 2011, long before any candidates announced their intention to run for U.S. president," Ford said.

Toward more accountable public finance: budget transparency, participation, and oversight
These are exciting times for those of us who believe in the potential of greater budget accountability to help tackle some of the world's most pressing problems. The upcoming release of the Open Budget Survey promises to shed some light on three pillars of accountable budgets: transparency, participation, and oversight.
The importance of budget transparency is now well established. Recent years, however, have seen growing recognition that, along with access to information, it is critical that the public is provided with formal opportunities to engage in how budgets are managed.

Chicago was led by Jimmy Butler's 25 points.
And one that left the Brooklyn Nets indifferent, holding out their mainstays in the loss to the Chicago Bulls that allowed the Bulls to secure the final playoff berth in the NBA Eastern Conference by virtue of the season series tiebreaker against the Heat, with both teams closing at.500.
Chicago (40-41) can give second-year coach Fred Hoiberg his first playoff appearance by beating the Nets (20-61).
Boston wrapped up the No. 1 seed with a win over Milwaukee. Did the Bulls pay them off? That was in part because Markieff Morris did a very good job of locking him down. No. 1 seed on the road, we'll take it, we're in there.
The Miami Heat need this win to have any shot of sneaking into the playoffs. "Everybody had a challenging season".
The young coach who said earlier in the season that he "misses Dwyane Wade," said later that he was "grateful and blessed" to coach the players now on the roster. The teams' most recent playoff history was in the 2015 Eastern Conference semifinals, when the Hawks won in six games. We had that four-game [winning] streak against four really good teams that really got us back in the playoff picture.
"I just want everybody to lock in and realize how important this game is", Butler said.
The Nets announced Trevor Booker, Jeremy Lin and Brook Lopez will all sit out due to rest, while injuries will sideline Quincy Acy (ankle), Joe Harris (shoulder) and Sean Kilpatrick (hamstring).
The Heat (41-41) have been left out of the postseason party, partly thanks to the Hawks (43-39) and Nets (20-62) going less than all out in their respective visits to in and Chicago.More news: Labour MP calls snap general election a 'vanity project'
Miami beat the Washington Wizards 110-102 but fell short, with the Bulls thrashing the Brooklyn Nets 112-73.
"I'm going to be honest as a competitor, I understand it, I understand the point of view that some of you have, some of the press has and maybe other teams, I do understand it", Brooklyn coach Kenny Atkinson said before the game. "We're looking out for the best for the Nets".
Archie Goodwin scored 20 points for the Nets and KJ McDaniels finished with 15. The Nets were 3-for-33 from 3-point range.
Coach Spoelstra definitely got his wish, as his team got a standing ovation from the Heat crowd during the final minute of the fourth quarter. We always enjoyed getting better. We just got unbelievable faith in each other and I got incredible amount of respect and love for these guys. "Our perimeter shooting is not where it needs to be". Unless a player is resting for the postseason, or legitimately hurt, they should be playing in the season finale.
However, the Bulls still have a big hill to climb with a first-round matchup against the Celtics looming.
Heat shooting guard Josh Richardson, who was in the starting lineup for the last 13 games in Dion Waiters' absence, had 15 points on 3-of-6 shooting from behind the arc, while power forward James Johnson almost notched a triple-double with 12 points, eight boards and eight assists.
Rondo was back in the starting lineup. "I'm with the Bulls now". The ninth-year coach has now missed the playoffs twice in his career, as well as won two National Basketball Association titles.
"I don't know if I've ever felt this way about a team before". The Bulls started cautious as well, three turnovers in their first six possessions as the teams were tied at 11 seven minutes into the game. It's just a great job of being resilient by our players of hanging in there and sticking in there.
"I can understand why the fans would be a little bit upset, but if you look across the league, every team that has an opportunity to do it is doing it".

These are some give aways that I received before Christmas. The pin cushion is from Mar at Moonbeams in a Jar. I love it and use it all the time. From Melly and Me there is a pattern for their new purse, Toffee Apple. Love it! There is a book and a pattern from Kerry at Cottage on the Hill. The book Blackberry Jam and Cream, doesn't it sound delish? There are some recipes and some patterns inside. Also from Kerry is a pattern for a sewing machine mat. It has little pockets on the front to keep scissors, seam ripper and such right at your finger tips. There is a pin cushion on the side. I think that this is a very clever idea. I can't wait to make it. Last but not least there is a charm pack from Vickie At Mid Ohio Knitter. I have one other gift that is not in the picture (I will post it.) It is a group of stitcheries from Karen at Cotten Spice. She designed under a different pattern company( which I can't remember right now, but I will.) There were several patterns that were duplicates. I will post them soon and If anyone would like one I will send it to them. More about that later. Thank you again everyone.
I do have a finish here! This is the second block of Primitive Garden BOM from Primitive Gatherings. I love this quilt and I can' wait to finish it. I was very disappointed when I found out that only the wool version was available. Now I am thanking my stars! There are so many small pieces. I don't know if I ever would have finished it.
Now I am on to block three. ( below) I am going to try to get it cut out and ironed on this afternoon. I am off to try and get this done and I also have a Christmas gift to finish (from last year). It needs a bit more stitchery and then made into a pillow.

I'm a hot prospect for many home improvement service contractors such as plumbers, electricians, flooring companies, painters, general contractors, handymen and carpenters. My wife and I just purchased our next home and we're making improvements before we move in.
As a Mortgage Planner, at some point, most of my clients will need these types of services. Because my business is by introduction only, I am a recognized source for referrals involving any service or product involving home ownership.
I intentionally let each contractor know what I do for a living when I speak with them. I expect that they would immediately understand that I represent more value than a quick buck. Amazingly, of the at least 35 service providers my wife has spoken to in order to filter proposals, at least a dozen of them know I'm a mortgage professional. Only one representative recognized and addressed the value of a continued referral relationship during our conversations and negotiations.
Undoubtedly, client advocacy is the least expensive and most powerful and effective lead source available to any business. There is no better way to prospect for business. What are these company representatives thinking (or not thinking)?
What do you do (or not do) to recognize the lifetime value of your client or prospect?
What do you do differently when your client or prospect is a professional introduction gateway to future prospects?

Philein/Ziru Productions Philein/Ziru Productions
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
To promote greater understanding and world peace through multi-media, dance, music productions, and collaborations with artists and dancers worldwide. Through Tiger Hip Hop/Tiger Motion ™, a new form of dance, Philein Wang/ZiRu Productions combines Western and Eastern philosophy, movement, and culture to share with audiences in China, Europe, and the United States.
Philein/ZiRu Productions was founded in 2007 and, since that time, has distinguished itself as an organization that focuses on multi-disciplinary work, collaboration across cultural boundaries, and actively addressing the question of cultural identity. It is a non-profit dance production company (fiscally sponsored by Dancers' Group) based in the Peninsula/South Bay Area with a mission to create an artistic base for the Chinese-American diaspora.

Photo: Participants recieved their course certificate after the FLACS-I training in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Here with FLACS trainer Franz Zdravistch.
Key stakeholders and Vietnamese authorities have shown great interest in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and particularly FLACS, Gexcon's consequence modelling tool.
We recently completed the first ever FLACS-I training course in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The course had a record number of participants, this despite the current situation in the oil and gas industry.
We believe the overwhelming interest in FLACS training is because Vietnamese authorities have signalled changes in the country's safety regulations, says Sturle Pedersen, CEO of Gexcon. The use of CFD tools are likely to become a required part of safety analysis in Vietnamese industry.
Great Feedback on Training
The course, held at the PetroVietnam Gas Tower in Ho Chi Minh City, had a wide range of participants who represented Vietnamese industry companies, refineries, engineering companies, governmental agencies and PetroVietnam's subsidiaries.
According to feedback participants found the course informative and were impressed with the advanced modelling capabilities that FLACS offers. Participants also commented on the immediate benefits to their engineering work:
- Thank you for the great four days training course in Ho Chi Minh City. It was very informative, very professional presented, plus enjoyable. I have learned so much from your training that will assist me in my workplace. I came away from the workshop feeling so confident and it really does help when working with clients in next projects.
Comment by Mr Huynh Van Ta, Process/Safety Engineer at PTSC
Following the success of this training, a second FLACS-I training course will be held in Hanoi, March 6-9, 2017. Registration is now open.
Gexcon's Engagement in Vietnam
In 2016, Gexcon started collaborating with the Industrial Safety Techniques and Environmental Agency (ISEA), Vietnam, with the objective of improving safety performance in the country. ISEA is responsible for the technical safety and environmental protection in the Vietnamese industry. They develop regulations and monitor compliance to ensure safe working conditions.
As part of this collaboration, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and a framework agreement for consulting and training services have been signed between Gexcon and the Vietnamese authorities. In addition, Gexcon has entered a long-term partnership with Safety and Environmental Network (SEN) Consulting, one of the first local independent providers of health, safety and environmental (HSE) consulting services in Vietnam.

The SOLAR ONE Split System Collector:
The SOLAR ONE collector can be installed on most roof surfaces, and can easily be adjusted to achieve the perfect incidence angle. All nuts and bolts are made of stainless steel. Installation is very quick and easy.
Please click to download a PDF of Frame Assembly Instructions.
The SOLAR ONE Standard Evacuated Tube:
The SOLAR ONE evacuated tube is actually a concentric-glass product with improved geometry and performance.
Two concentric glass tubes are closed on one side, forming a hemisphere, and fused and hermetically sealed with each other on the other side (evacuated insulation).
To use solar energy, the internal glass tube is coated with an environmentally friendly, highly absorbing layer on the outside, thus turning it into an absorber.
The coating is protected in the evacuated space. The aluminium nitride sputter coating used is characterized by extremely low emission.
The SOLAR ONE High Performance Evacuated Tube:
The SOLAR ONE high performance evacuated tubes have been developed from the basic standard evacuated tubes, these tubes have higher absorption (> 95 %) and lower emittance (< 5 %) than the traditional selective coated surfaces.
The sputtering selective-coating absorber has high resistance to long-term vapour condensation, corrosive sulphur dioxide and high operating temperature.
The effective resistance measured in the test is equivalent to a product life span exceeding 15 years. Good absorber material should have excellent heat transmission, good resistance to corrosion as well as good welding ability.

At long last, the marathon known as the National Basketball Association regular season enters its final week today. And while there's two more months of NBA action to come in the real season - the playoffs - it might be a good time to look at the potential award winners the league has produced over the last six months.
So, what follows are one man's opinion of who has been the cream of the crop in pro basketball during the 1984-85 season.

Thousands of refugee supporters have marched across the country today demanding the immediate closure of detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island.
Rallies were organised in seven major cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Newcastle and Hobart on Saturday for a national day of action, calling on the government to "close the camps (and) bring them here".
Now is the most important time you can be involved.

In Sydney, Greens MP Adam Bandt addressed his party's recent reshuffle that saw Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young lose her immigration portfolio, saying there would be "absolutely no change" to their refugee policy.
"If anything, the spirit of everything that the Greens and that Sarah Hanson-Young has fought for will be intensified over the coming weeks and months, because we actually have the chance now of closing these camps once and for all," he said.
"Now is the most important time you can be involved."

The national protests come after Immigration Minister Peter Dutton confirmed the closure of the Manus Island regional processing centre after talks with Papua New Guinea.
The Greens are expected to call for a royal commission into offshore detention when parliament resumes next week.
A march in Darwin is scheduled for Sunday, with plans for similar events in London and Tokyo also underway.

What a weekend! I love Halloween, anyone who's written "DRACULA IS A PAIN IN THE NECK!" definitely would. And my editor at Roaring Brook, Nancy Mercado, even said that we could launch the book on HALLOWEEN! I had my parrot and pirate hat all ready for a book party at BOOKS OF WONDER with wonderful other writers. A little rain -- that's okay -- but we had snow, sleet, Slush! Mordicai was snowed in.
But friends showed up. Here are Jerry Rodgers and Marsall Marcovitz. Jerry is an actor and makes a great pirate. And Mordicai showed up on Tuesday just to wear the hat!
Then it was down to the Halloween Parade! My friends "Broadway Bodies" dance in the parade so we got to go watch the start! New York Loves Halloween! And my cousins, Melba and Hugh Levick came in from Paris. Melba and Marshall took great photos. And the best thing was that the snow had melted!
So Happy GHOULS! And Happy Parrots and Pirates

I used pop dots under her, but again its hard to tell. This will be a cute card to send at some point while we are away. There are often times I think about friends and family back home...just out of the blue. I think God brings them to mind so I'll pray for them. God is so good!

Patriot Memory (1 GB) - PDP PC3200+XBLK -
Page 1
Product: Patriot PDC1G3200+XBLK
Type: Memory DDR400 (2:2:2:5)
Manufacturer: Patriot Memory
Info: www.patriotmem.com
It's memory time today as we recently got contacted by a company called Patriot memory, a subdivision of PDP Systems about their Patriot memory product line. Now after the first dialog I decided to check out their website and have a look at some of their product as quite honestly, being European I had never heard of them.
Patriot is all about memory though. They build their slices of fun on 6 and 8 layer PCB's to reduce noise and improve signal integrity. PDP Systems' offers 3 different Patriot memory lines to choose from. Whether you need Overclocking, simply Dual Channel, or Premium Memory Modules they can offer it to you.
Anyway, after visiting that website I was like, okay we might have a company here that likes to build the same reputation as OCZ technology has these days. High quality products that catch the eye and can deliver amazing performance. In other words, Guru3D stuff!
So I agreed to receive a sample of their offerings to see what they have got in store for us. Then the package is delivered. I have a look at it, hmm same packaging as OCZ, same heat spreaders as OCZ. Are they making some sort of a statement here? There is a bit of a shootout going on in the memory market as Corsair, Mushkin, OCZ, Crucial and now PDP are all fighting hard to reach that 1% of geeks that want the memory with the fastest timings. Hey reputation is everything you know ;)
Compared to OCZ, luckily the memory is different, nicely red colored aluminum heatspreaders (which I still wonder is for the eye or really for cooling?), red PCB and some timings on that memory that just makes these two slices of awesome.
Patriot memory recently launched the XBL (eXtreme Bandwidth and Latency) product line, offering one of their best overclocking memory lines so far. The flexibility of that XBL line can be seen and is offered in both the original DDR and new DDR 2 line-up of products. XBL DDR can operate from PC3200 400Mhz at eXtreme Low latency of 2-2-2-5 to the eXtreme Bandwidth of PC4200 at 533 Mhz (above ~420 MHz with slower timings though) on the same memory module. And that offers nice overclocking potential. Rated PC3200 this is not the fastest memory available in terms of clock frequency, yet it might offer you some good value between performance and price when you look at the really fast timings it offers.
The same goes for their XBL DDR 2, which begins from PC2 4200 533Mhz at eXtreme Low Latency of 3-2-2-4 up to the eXtreme Bandwidth of PC2 5600 at 700Mhz.
Today's product comes from that XBL product line, PDC1G3200+XBLK, a 2x 512 MB memory kit that allows 400 MHz operations at very brisk 2-2-2-5 RAM timings and goes up to 533 MHz at 3-4-4-8 timings if you can boost the memory with enough voltage that is. That info is even printed on the label. It's quite cool to notice the overclocking potential on the label isn't it?
Patriot PDC1G3200+XBLK
We review all-new Patriot Viper Gaming RGB 16 GB (dual channel) 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM kit from yes, you've guessed it right - Patriot. It's not the fastest from this new series, but it...
Patriot EP Pro SDHC UHS-1 32GB review
We review the Patriot EP Pro SDHC UHS-1 32GB flash card. It's not your average SDHC storage card, this little fracker can read at 90 Mb/sec and write at 50 Mb/sec, making it amongst the fastest SDHC cards available on the market.
Patriot Pyro SE 240GB SSD review
Patriot wanted to release another SSD, something a little over the top and as such that meant releasing the Pyro SE SSD. While based on the SandForce 2281 controller Patriot did apply some tweaks to make the product even faster. To keep it up to snuff it comes with synchronous NAND flash memory. According to Patriot that will increase its sequential read and write performance to 550MB/s and 520MB/s.
Patriot SuperSonic Magnum USB 3.0 flash drive review
Patriot Memory recently released a USB stick, all 3.0 compatible and it's called the SuperSpeed Magnum. That surely hints towards a nice caliber. We test the 64GB version of this model, and their Magnum .. well it's the fastest and most l33t little fracker your money can get you with read performance of 200 MB per sec.

Our Hypertufa workshop yesterday was a success, despite the big thunderstorm that rolled through in the middle of measuring out the ingredients and mixing the tufa. I say this often, but I'll say it again, I love having a big barn!
Amid the thunder we quickly measured the ingredients into our mixing tray, and as the raindrops fell, began mixing. Once the mix was damp, we just dragged the tray into the barn and finished. Fortunately we had a small group so we were able to find workspace for everyone.
Unfortunately Blogger is having some technical problems and I am unable to post photos :-(. We all had a good time, though, and I tried out my new mold for planter feet for the deck planters. I got the molds from Garden Molds, which is an offshoot of MilkyWay Molds, a company that makes gorgeous molds for handcrafted soap. We will unmold things later today and report.

When asked about the Wii U's possible integration of Facebook and Twitter, Nintendo of Europe's Laurent Fischer was pretty upfront in denying the capability: "I have three devices permanently doing that already, what is our benefit to do so also?" Well, he makes a great point!
He also went on to note the ease of use for the Miiverse, and explained how gamers will feel closer together on their social network rather than others: "the community will be the Wii U owners, who will have this common interest for video games. Our expectation about that is it's going to be a way to enhance the idea of sharing information on the video game." A community of gamers? This kind of sounds familiar.
For some people, this lack of support is a great thing. The pervasive amount of social networks in gaming these days is nothing short of annoying, so not having Facebook or Twitter relay your every move is a Godsend. For investors however, I can see this backfiring: Facebook deals can get mighty lucrative.
Also, rebuilding a brand new personal network from the ground up can be intimidating, and by refusing to work with others, Nintendo is creating yet another solitary network that you have to keep track of. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

|Who is Ernie Iceman?
One of the difficult aspects of building a strong social feed is trying to get your brand across all social networks. For large companies with lawyers this is likely very easy. A simple letter saying we will crush you if you don't give us the twitter vanity using our brand name would likely be enough to scare most people into compliance. For a small ice company in Edmonton this really isn't an option and frankly we would have nobody to crush in Alberta as we are the only Columbia Ice in the province. However we are not the only Columbia Ice in Canada. In Vancouver there is a water company by the name Columbia Ice. They are the .com on the web whereas we are the .ca.
The only time the sharing of the brand name becomes an issue is when it comes to social media vanity URLs. A vanity url is twitter.com/ernieiceman, facebook.com/columbiaice, etc. As you can see we use the Columbia Ice name on Facebook and the Ernie Iceman name on twitter. This is because when we went to twitter and tried to get the Columbia Ice vanity it was already taken. The use of the character Ernie Iceman gave us a way to create a somewhat unified brand across multiple vanity URLs.
The reason we chose Ernie Iceman is because Ernie Graveline is the owner of the ice company and the Iceman is the person you will likely see if you order ice. It is also what most people call the ice delivery person. Put them together and you get Ernie Iceman.
