Regular price: $23.07
Morgan Tyler is a beautiful, sassy young widow who lost the love of her life before she turned 30 and now puts all her romantic energies into her job as the head writer of the award-winning soap opera, Love of My Life.
When one of the show's starlets is injured in a hit-and-run accident, Morgan crosses paths with the homicide detective Matt Phoenix, who is immediately attracted to her. But their budding relationship becomes complicated when Morgan's boss is murdered and Morgan is revealed as the sole heir to his estate. Does Matt suspect her? Now a real-life killer is after her. And her time - like sands through the hourglass - is running out.
I love this series. It was a surprise. The charaters are likeable and the story moves on smoothly. The only thing I did not like is that the narrator sounds to old to be in her early thirties. She actually reminds me of the woman who played Della Street in the 80s.

This entire series is great. I really wish the author continued writing this series. I tried the other series by this author and did not like them. Linda Palmer found her mark in this series.

Twilight program caters to students having trouble at Bridgeport high schools
Updated 12:19 pm, Thursday, October 4, 2012
BRIDGEPORT -- As most students are exiting Central High School around 3:15 p.m., Rayshellie Rodriguez stops at the security desk to deposit her cellphone and pick up ear buds before heading to the library, where she will spend the next four hours in front of a computer.
Some might cringe at learning geometry or English this way. Rodriguez says she loves it.
"Because I get to concentrate more. It's individual. No distractions" said Rodriguez, 17. "I think I learn better this way. I really do."
For students like Rodriguez, Twilight is a ticket to a high school diploma.
The new program is larger than past alternative education programs offered by the district, providing seats for up to 210 students coming from Central, Harding and Bassick high schools. As of Oct. 1, 192 were enrolled.
But attorneys for the Center for Children's Advocacy, a nonprofit agency that runs a school-based clinic at Harding, are concerned the program is too short and narrowly focused, and could be a dumping ground for students the district wants to "push out" of the regular day program.
More Informationart was taken for this story. Also, I took a head shot of Tyrone and sent it to Ned and Jim.
"This is just another iteration of an after-hours school that keeps cropping up with different names," said Kathryn Meyer, an attorney with the center. "These are already students who have difficulties with truancy and academics."
The center has been working to get a law passed that would require the state Department of Education to better regulate alternative education programs. Center attorneys during the last session were unsuccessful in requesting that such a provision be included last year in the governor's education reform package.
Day-to-day oversight of alternative education programs is up to local school districts, according to James Polities, a spokesman for the department. The proposed law would require the state to track alternative education programs, require the programs to offer the same 900 hours of annual instruction mandated for other public schools, offer the same breadth of courses and require parent permission before students could be put in the program.
The center has been working with alternative education programs in a number of cities, including the Alternative Routes to Success program in Stamford. There, Meyer said, concerns were taken to heart and the program's hours were extended and course offerings expanded. Center staff now has a meeting planned with interim Superintendent Paul Vallas.
Twilight, meanwhile, is in its fourth week and is nearing capacity. John Fabrizi, who helped put together the program, said Twilight isn't for everyone, but meets the needs of students for whom the traditional large, comprehensive high school setting doesn't work.
Michael Testani, director of high school guidance counselors, said students are not pushed into the program.
Although the process is still evolving, students in Twilight either came from previous alternative education programs run at Central or Harding, or are referred to the program if they have fallen behind to the point where they are not functioning during the day program.
"It's for when we've exhausted other things," said Testani, a former assistant principal.
Students who are pregnant or young parents, or who need to work during the day to help support themselves, may also ask to be in the program.
Under recently established protocol, students are admitted to the program with a form signed by the principal, student and parent. That protocol wasn't in place when Tryone Purcell, 17, a junior at Bassick, said a letter came home this summer telling him he had been assigned to Twilight. His mother, Patrice Williams, said she misunderstood. She said she thought Twilight was a credit recovery program and that Purcell would be in it after a full day of school. She gave verbal approval.
When he showed up to Bassick on the first day, however, Purcell said he was shocked to learn he was no longer in the day program. He had skipped a lot in his freshman year and had been marked late a lot in his sophomore year, but Purcell said his grades were improving. "I thought there were way more people that had lates than me," said Purcell.
Williams, once she learned her son would be in school from only 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., said he wondered how she was going to keep him out of trouble all day before school started.
However, Purcell appealed to his assistant principal and was switched back to the day program.
Testani said a credit recovery program, which will extend the school day for some students, will be introduced in the spring semester.
Twilight, he said, is not meant to replace the full high school experience for students. Still, Twilight is broader than the program used in the past. There are courses in art appreciation, health and world languages, in addition to core subjects. Students take two courses at a time and, when done, move on to two more. Twilight students also can attend the prom and other social events along with day students, officials said.
Abigail Rosales, 18, a senior in Twilight, said she likes the program better than the one at Central last year because it is Web-based and she can do work from her computer at home. The old program involved software available only at school.
The only thing Rosales can't do at home is take quizzes and tests.
"I am halfway through (world history) already," she said, showing off a current grade average of 92. Rosales said she is on track to graduate with her class in June.
Some students in Twilight bring their own laptops. Others work from computers in the library. Most wear headphones to minimize distractions. Lead teacher Mike Iovino said discipline is not an issue because there is no lunch room or opportunities stray with buddies.
"There are no people around you to put a show on for," he said.
This year, students wear uniforms, like they would if they were day students. This day, there were six other adults in the library, including a special education teacher, guidance counselor, social worker and subject area teachers.
Still, Edwin Colon, an attorney with the Center for Children's Advocacy, said it seems counter-intuitive to put students who are easily distracted or who have trouble working independently in front of a computer for so long.
"This should be a last option," he said.

Disney Junior Greenlights New Preschool Series: Nina Needs to Go
Disney EMEA has recently announced that they have given the go signal on a brand new animated short series targeted towards preschoolers, titled Nina Needs to Go. The series is scheduled to premiere on Disney Junior in early 2014 and will be airing in more than 150 countries worldwide.
Nina Needs to Go focuses on the eponymous four year old girl, who usually "needs to go" at the most inopportune moments. The series will follow Nina as she tries to use her initiative and wits in order to overcome the obstacles between her and the nearest bathroom.
Each story will take place in a different location, and will feature imaginative play as Nina becomes so immersed in her surroundings that she tends to forget that she has to go to the bathroom until the last moment.
"Nina is a character that our Disney Junior audience can relate to, and the situations Nina finds herself in are recognisable to all parents," comments Beth Gardiner, Vice President, Production & Development, Disney Junior EMEA. "ArthurCox has taken a universal scenario and given it a funny and heart-warming twist."
"Nina Needs To Go is based on my real experiences with my daughter," comments Sarah Cox, Creative Director and CEO of ArthurCox. "Dramatic car journeys, missed trains and a back track through the whole of the Alhambra in Spain in search of a bathroom are real situations that have inspired each episode. A fabulous creative team has helped us create action-packed 'race against time' scenarios to excite and amuse a family audience."
"I am delighted to be part of Disney Junior's Nina Needs To Go. The show is so beautifully animated and when I first saw the drawings I thought they really had warmth and character," added Miriam Margolyes, who voices Nana Sheila. "Having voiced a Disney character many years ago in Mulan it feels so good to return to the Disney family, voicing Nana Shelia who is a rather fabulous ninja granny!"

It was weird comedy ive never really seen an animation like it and maybe i should watch the previous versions to understand the humor more. Though it was refreshing i thought it was also a little dry. I also got confused at one point as both the male characters sound the same for a second i thought couch man(for the sake of distinguishing the two) was narrating the show and playing along then i realized they were extremely similar. Anyway that was my only real problem.
Yeah, the Announcer voice is sort of confusing in retrospect, I think you can tell I'm sort of tired when I recorded it. It's not an excuse though. Thanks.
Well, this was much shorter than usual, but still retaining the lazy feel that you're aiming for. This is one of those flash animations that make me have trouble telling if it needs more or less than what it already shows. I don't mean that it's balanced and the perfect flash, but just generally hard to talk about without going into every little detail, which isn't the general aim for this flash. It's just a flash that doesn't need to be explained, just shown for pure enjoyment. Just throw your brain out the window and enjoy it.
Overall, this is a pretty good flash, just very different from what I would normally expect. It goes through pretty quickly, and the first time I watched it I didn't understand it entirely, but that just the idea of most of your animations.
-Powerdude964, OUT!
Its decent, but the act is getting dull pretty quick. I want to see boobs, explosions, and motorcycle chases.
Well that's just your ADD talking. Thanks.
Lazy writing makes for lazy animating makes for a lazy review...
If it was funny at least =/

The British love their lawns. The perfect emerald-green, velvet-smooth sward is a thing of envy, especially in parts of the world where the climate isn't quite so lawn-friendly. But it takes much time and energy to achieve such a standard, not to mention lots of water.
There is another factor to consider: a lawn isn't very wildlife-friendly. Although lawns will attract birds hunting for worms and other tasty morsels, the scope of wildlife is limited. The fine ornamental lawn is likely to contain only three or so types of grass which limits the variety of creatures it can support.
However, there's no need to replace your lawn if you want to make your garden more attractive to wildlife. Simple steps, such as reducing mowing frequency and fertilisers will all help.
In your garden
- Just setting the mower on a higher cut, shunning the chemicals and allowing a few other plants in and before you know it you have a wildlife lawn. Leaving the grass a little longer provides extra protection from the sun and so reduces the amount of watering.
- Reduce the mowing frequency and more grass and flower species will arrive, steadily increasing the diversity of wildlife supported. Bees are especially fond of clover and many grasses are the larval food plants for butterflies.
- Limit the mowing to twice a year, introduce wild flower seedlings or plug plants and, before you know it you've got a wildflower meadow!
- If this all seems a little too radical, why not leave just a small section of lawn to its own devices and see what happens? Keep a record of how many plants and creatures settle in – this is a great way of involving children as well.
- Either: just leave a patch of lawn alone and see what happens
- Or: continue mowing but less regularly, raising the cutting height of the mower.
- Introduce some wildflowers: scattering seed onto an area of grass probably won't work. Sow seed under cover in early spring and plant out as seedlings, alternatively plant plugs can be sourced from nurseries. Spring flowering bulbs such as fritillaries, or bluebells can be planted in autumn. Clear an area around them to help them establish.
- Don't use fertiliser, wild flowers do best in poor soil
- To get the most out of your wildflower lawn, mow it short in late winter, lifting the clippings, and then leave the next mow until after the flowers have all seeded, in late summer.
- A lawn that hasn't been fed will benefit from an annual maintenance programme of scarifying and aerating. See link to RHS advice below.
- Any newly grassed area needs regular mowing in its first year to give it a chance to establish.
Top tips
- If you choose to plant some bluebell bulbs in your lawn, make sure they are the British native bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) not the Spanish bluebell (H. hispanica).
- Take care that any hedgehogs or grasshoppers are out of the area before mowing or strimming by walking over the area in a noisy, heavy way (dance and jump around if you like!). Raising the cutting height of the mower, gives them a better chance of survival.

I really think Batman was on to a good thing with his self-contained, state-of-the-art underground hideaway! To escape the demands of the world, he retreated to his solitary domain to rethink, regroup and recharge. I could certainly make great use of such a haven…(Note to Self: add 1 bat cave to Christmas wish list).
I can see it now: a mom-style retreat completely void of dirty socks, ironing boards or soap scum, certainly no mouthy teenagers and no "It's okay. Mom will clean that up later" messes!
I write my blog posts in the little stolen moments between trips to the dryer, standing at the stove and picking up or dropping off half a dozen kids each day. However, this particular stolen moment is interrupted by the blender groaning and chugging out my son's milk shake while my husband can't seem to keep his finger off the Up arrow of the remote!
I think every hard-working mom out there deserves her very own mom cave, especially this time of year. A mom cave might come in handy when:
• You're standing behind 26 people in line in the middle of the Christmas rush and person #8 is joined by 6 of her friends, arms loaded with purchases of their own!
• After many failed attempts at constructing a gingerbread house with the kids, you finally give in and break out the heavy-duty wall putty when the frosting fails to hold your walls in place.
• You've already endured the kids' 2 ½ hour Christmas music performance when the teacher announces, "For our final number, won't you please join us in singing 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'."
• Your son or daughter comes home from school and informs you that you've been "nominated" to bake cupcakes for the entire 3rd grade student body for their Christmas party….tomorrow!
Okay, in all fairness, I'd have to admit that such a mom cave would get pretty lonely after….I don't know….maybe a week or two…
Seriously, be good to yourself this season. Grab those moments of awe and wonder when they stare you head on. Take time to reflect, to truly enjoy from the inside out, to laugh with your whole heart, to say "no" to some things and "yes" to others, and to celebrate the birth of our Lord with those who make your heart sing to the highest notes.
(And don't forget to add that mom cave to your Christmas wish list!)
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
(Matthew 11:28-30) NIV

The situation in Lemuria is rapidly deteriorating. In fact teleportation between the hidden continent and the outside world has become so dangerous, all agents and their families have been recalled. Although Benjamin is pleased to be living in Lemuria full time, he knows he needs to find his last sibling soon. However, between classes, a murderous half-brother, and complications with his friend Heidi, Benjamin can barely focus. Besides, there's only one place left they haven't searched - the hidden continent of Atlantis.

Characteristics of Ambient Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Measured in Shanghai, China
AbstractTo better understand the characteristics of ambient abundance of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Shanghai, one of the biggest metropolis of China, VOCs were measured with a gas chromatography system equipped with a mass-selective detector (GC/MSD) from July 2006 to February 2010. An intensive measurement campaign was conducted (eight samples per day with a 3 hour interval) during May 2009. The comparison of ambient VOCs collected in different regions of Shanghai shows that the concentrations are slightly higher in the busy commercial area (28.9 ppbv at Xujiaui) than in the urban administrative area (24.3 ppbv at Pudong). However, during the intensive measurement period, the concentrations in the large steel industrial area (28.7 ppbv at Baoshan) were much higher than in the urban administrative area (18 ppbv at Pudong), especially for alkanes, alkenes, and toluene. The seasonal variations of ambient VOC concentrations measured at the Xujiahui sampling site indicate that the VOC concentrations are significantly affected by meteorological conditions (such as wind direction and precipitation). In addition, although alkanes are the most abundant VOCs at the Xujiahui measurement site, the most important VOCs contributing to ozone formation potential (OFP) are aromatics, accounting for 57% of the total OFP. The diurnal variations of VOC concentrations show that VOC concentrations are higher on weekdays than in weekends at the Xujiahui sampling site, suggesting that traffic condition and human activities have important impacts on VOC emissions in Shanghai. The evidence also shows that the major sources of isoprene are mainly resulted from gasoline evaporation at a particular time (06:00–09:00) in the busy commercial area. The results gained from this study provide useful information for better understanding the characteristics of ambient VOCs and the sources of VOCs in Shanghai. View Full-Text

out now: Roland Sebastian Faber 'Gegen den Strom'August 15th, 2011
"Society" opens the 12" with a rumbling galaxy of analogue sounds. The track sees RSF pooling together a catalogue of synthesizer arpeggios and arrangements to create a cascading work. The beats are friendly to the turntable zealot, a perfect accompaniment to other space disco gems from Automan all the way to Xenon. Flip over for the gradual building arches of "Gegenstrom." The mood is classic RSF, cerebral and celestial. The track has a good tempo but it is the swirling nebula of guitar strings that capture the listener in this heady piece, taking them ever further into the beyond. The finale comes in the form of "Renaissance." RSF opens the bay doors to give a full and awesome view of his synthesizer cosmos. A wonderful track that echoes with orchestral grandeur and soundtrack memories. Sitting proud beside Vangelis or Tangerine Dream any day. An epic and mesmerising piece.
To round off the whole experience is the breathtaking artwork of Emil Schult, a perfect finish to this breathtaking record. Sit back, strap on your headphones and let Roland Sebastian Faber take you through the corridors of gaseous giants, solar flares and into his own analogue astral plain."

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Your own Costa Rican private hilltop house located 25 minutes from the town of La Fortuna and Volcano Arenal. This beautiful retreat is about 2 and 1/2 hours from San Jose (main airport) and about 3 hours from the Pacific beaches. This well-built and locally decorated home sits on a hill overlooking its own tropical fruit and flower garden. Just beyond the exotic garden are beautiful horse pastures, a whitewater river and the jungle of the federally protected Children's Eternal Rainforest which offers endless hiking trails and birding opportunities. Wake up to the magical sounds of the Costa Rican Rain forest (howler monkeys, gentle rain, and the songs of over 123 species of birds seen on-site). Brew a pot of locally grown fresh Costa Rican Café, and step out onto the large deck to enjoy the 270° view and lounge in one of the 2 hammocks provided.
This house is very peaceful and remote yet it has the wonderful feature of being within walking distance to the ecotourist destination Chachagua Rainforest Hotel. This unique setting offers total privacy with all the comforts of a first class lodge. The conveniences offered by the hotel include: English-speaking staff on property at all times, cell phones in case of emergencies, night watchman, laundry, restaurant serving delicious local Costa Rican cuisine, fully stocked bar, beautiful outdoor swimming pool, massage therapists, tropical gardens,, access to rain forest hiking trails, rental horses and tours. We consider this to be the best of both worlds: the security and convenience of a hotel yet the quiet remoteness of a private home.
The house has 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a nice queen size bed and its own porch with superb views. The guest bedroom has two beds, one double and one twin.
There is 1 bathroom with beautiful private shower that overlooks rain forest. Colorful hand painted murals cover three of the walls within the house and illustrate forest scenes (done by a talented local artist). There is a great kitchen with all the tools to cook a healthy meal. There is also a family room that opens up to the best porch in the world. The house is an awesome place to relax. Guests can spend countless days just sitting in the hammocks, eating fresh fruit and watching the toucans, parrots, hummingbirds and countless birds that visit the garden at the house.
Over the past 10 years we have planted many fruit trees. Fruits include mangos, oranges, figs, coconuts, rambatans (chinese leechis), guanabanas, tamarindos, bananas, plantains, limes, water apple, coffee, and cacao (chocolate). All ov which is available to you when it is ripe!
Not only is the house a great place to chill out, but it is in an ideal location to use as a home base when you go on adventures.
Things to do in close by La Fortuna are:
Watch lava flow from the crater of Volcano Arenal (one of the most picturesque volcanoes), visit a 100ft waterfall (Catarata La Fortuna), bathe in natural hot springs, fish and windsurf on Lake Arenal, whitewater raft, explore the Volcano Arenal National Park, take a wildlife/bird tour to Cano Negro, go on a caving tour, dine at many restaurants, dance at the local discothèque (Volcan Look), get cool souvenirs, get money from an ATM, or use the internet. Also, you are less then a 4 hour drive to a variety of nice beaches on the Pacific coasts as well as the enchanting cloud forests of Monte Verde. The Caribbean coast is only about 5 hours away.
I fell in love with this house on my visit this spring and ended up buying it, I am continuing to rent it and have the same delightful caretakers as the prior owner. There is a lot to do and see in the area. Unfortunately when I took over the listing all the info and good reviews got blocked out but there is a book with information and reviews by previous visitors in the house.
Amazing location, just a 20 min drive to town. Secluded, beautiful, but awesome to have the hotel right there. Great spot for us (mom dad and 6yo)
This was the most amazing place. Breakfast on the terrace with the birds and animals with extraordinary views over the rainforest was a once in a lifetime stay. Thank yoy. Thoroughly recommended
We had a great time at Ute's home. She was so accommodating and quick to reply to our messages. The road to get to the home is a bit rough (4x4 car is a must to reach this location), but it was completely worth it. We had a blast staying in her home. The patio is perfect for relaxing in a s secluded home, but close enough to a hotel for dinner or anything else we needed. The shower was amazing with views of outside and the rooms were nice for our family of four. This rental is located 30 minutes from the main attractions in La Fortuna. We're so glad we got to experience Costa Rica in Ute's home!
Our family loved your place. We were able to fully relax. It's close enough to Fortuna to take advantage of the adventure stuff: rafting, hot springs, Arenal. But then we were able to get away from the hustle and bustle of town and take in nature at the house. The pool is very refreshing!! And it was convenient to have a restaurant available so we didn't have to cook every meal. Thank you very much!!
We had a great stay, location was amazing, and use of the Eco lodge was very nice. House could use some upkeep though.
For two retired couples on a month long birding tour of Costa Rica, this place was the perfect place to spend four days! The deck overlooks a tree-studded hillside and the birds readily come to the fruit feeders mounted on the deck railing. Even though there is an eco-lodge (that can't be seen from the deck) at the bottom of the the hill that offers access to a fine restaurant and hiking trails, we enjoyed the serenity of this isolated cabin. The internet worked fine, the rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The drive into Fortuna was not that bad and a good supermarket was on the edge of town. While a four-wheel drive is not necessary, good clearance is a good idea for the last rocky 100 meters up to the driveway. This a very small negative compared to the many pluses of this great rental.
This wonderful house is located near Volcano Arenal east of La Fortuna.
This map shows it in the town of Chachagua, But in reality 2km away and is adjacent to the Children's Eternal Rainforest. Next Door is the Chachagua Hotel and Eco Lodge invisible under the trees , noce restaurant and also a good place if your group or family is too large for the house , just rent one of their beautiful cabins.
|Refundable damage deposit
$300 security deposit, fully refundable,
feel free to pick any ripe fruit in the garden, no smoking allowed inside the house, only on the porch or outside. The owner is not liable for any injury.please cgheck the hospitality suite for directions

In his debut at the world's most gruelling rally, the nine-time World Rally Championship winner has won the the second and third stages in the car category of the 2-week long rally. In the 190 km stage between Termas de Rio Hondo and San Salvador de Jujuy in Argentina, Loeb set a blistering time of 2 hr 9 min 39 seconds.
In third place overall is defending champion Nasser al-Attiyah, 6 min 50 sec behind the Frenchmen. In eighth is Mikko Hirvonen who like Loeb, is making his Dakar Rally debut albeit racing for the Mini team.
After the third stage, Loeb said "I pushed hard and I had a good stage with no mistakes. Everything is okay at the moment. The car is going very well. I have a good feeling with the car. It's performing well. So, at the moment, I'm enjoying it. At the moment we are on tracks… so I've got a good feeling on this type of road. But when we go to the desert, it will be different, with long and hot stages. That is something that I don't know very well, so we will see."
For the Dakar Rally, Loeb has teamed up with Peugeot, the outfit he so famously raced with when he demolished the Pikes Peak record. For Dakar, he is driving the Peugeot 2008 DKR.

Athletes and dieters have different protein-bar requirements
Updated 3:16 pm, Thursday, April 24, 2014
A recent trip to a nutritionist convinced me that when I'm hungry, instead of either starving myself until dinner or grabbing a bag of chips, I should reach for a protein bar. But which bar gives the most bang for your buck?
Whether you're an athlete or someone who's trying to lose weight, there is a different energy bar that's made to benefit you. Dieters may decide by calorie count and protein and fiber content. Athletes may want a high-calorie protein bar that still has plenty of protein and fiber to make up for all the energy burned during intense training.
I looked for the five best and worst protein bars for each customer base and talked to Memorial Hermann dietitian Sharon Smalling about what makes a protein bar "good."
Q: What are your thoughts on the nutritional value of protein bars?
A: It is important to remember that even the best of bars are still processed foods, which we want to try to decrease in our diet as much as possible. Having said that, I do think there is a place for them. In fact, I eat them frequently at work as my morning snack because it is usually at least five hours between my breakfast and lunch.

Q: How should people judge the bar that's right for them?
A: Athletes, depending on the type of exercise/activity and their energy expenditure, may want bars higher in calories, carbohydrates and protein. If you're choosing a "healthy snack" alternative, stick to those with 150-160 calories, 7-10 grams of protein, 15-20 grams complex carbohydrates, less than 5-6 grams of fat, and as little added sugar as possible.
Q: Would you ever recommend someone eat protein bars as a meal substitute?

A: If the choice is they skip a meal or eat a meal replacement bar, definitely I will help them find the best one to meet their needs. Often meal replacement bars are only 200-350 calories, which actually is not enough for a meal for many people unless they are pairing it with a glass of milk, yogurt or at least fruit.
Q: What are your thoughts on bars that provide fiber and added vitamins and minerals to increase their value?
A: I think the provision of fiber is great, along with added vitamins and minerals, but I still would like my clients to get the majority of these nutrients from whole foods and let the nutrients in the bars be the "insurance policy" that helps them truly meet their needs each day. I would rather they didn't depend on them for these nutrients.
Q: Which energy bars are the worst for you?
A: Sugar alcohols can cause gas and diarrhea if consumed in too great a quantity. Probably not a good choice for an athlete during a competition or training event or a co-worker. I think a bar that is not very well balanced with the macronutrients is probably not good for the average person, even an active one. Someone who is training for an event has very different needs for energy and protein. Those individuals should seek the assistance of a sports dietitian to determine what is best for them and the sport in which they participate.
Q: When should you consume energy bars to best boost your workout?
A: Timing is dependent on the workout, but usually 3-4 hours for a sport, with something small one hour before. The bar should be low in fiber and fat and have perhaps 10 grams of protein, dependent again on the size of the person/athlete and the activity to be performed. For one hour before, liquid nutrition is often best tolerated.
Q: What are the best post-workout energy bars?
A: The best post-workout food is actually a beverage: low-fat chocolate milk. Many post-workout beverages on the market actually imitate the nutrient values of low-fat chocolate milk.

Hi !
I'm sorry for being such a noob, but I've ordered a Line 6 POD XT, and I was just wondering how it would work through USB.
If I plug in the USB to my computer, does it show up as a recording device or a speaker device ?
Because I'm not looking to record anything, just to play and hear what I play.
If it shows up as a recording device, can I still hear the audio through my headset(3.5 mm) some how ?
Or should I purchase a speaker with a 1/4 cable(or headphones with 1/4 cable), so I could plug it in ?
Thanks !

Part Three of dispatches from the front line after ONE YEAR without smoking
Have I smoked in the last year? No. Not one. Do I still want to? Yes. Will I give in? The hell I will.
The addict part of my brain will always be there but it's become a puny, mewling thing.
One of the strongest triggers now is leaving a cinema; my first thought is still to light up. Last week I dreamed I was smoking and really enjoying it; for the next couple of days I really wanted one. An ex-smoker I know said this still happens to her occasionally, even after years.
People keep saying that I must feel so much better. In theory, my immune system should now have recalibrated, the cilia and cells in my airways regrown. My risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke has dropped to less than half that of a smoker. But it's only in the last couple of weeks that I've actually started feeling well after being almost constantly ill for more than eight months - not just with post-smoking coughs and colds but with non-respiratory viruses. The GP tells me this is normal. Bloody marvellous.
I've just got back to my pre-quitting weight. Maintaining it is hard and means not even looking at lovely, lovely sugar more than once a week. I'm eating less overall than I was too, which is a real challenge.
My knees have adjusted to the extra cardio and my bum muscles are a bit firmer than they were.
I've saved myself a couple of thousand pounds (my brand, Silk Cut Silver, now sells for £10.45 in my local supermarket, of which £5.19 is tax). Am I saving the NHS money? I may not need it for smoking-related diseases but if I live longer, I will need it for other things.
Since I quit, standardized cigarette packaging has been introduced and the ten pack is no longer available. The idea is that the drab boxes with big ugly health warnings will make more people quit and put children off starting. The evidence for quitting is very slim but there is some evidence that the boxes are less attractive to teenagers.
Most of the legislation, constant price increases and public health strategies are aimed at preventing young people from starting. They won't put off the addicts – and certainly wouldn't have made me stop.
You can see why vaping is becoming more popular with its pretty colours and no health warnings or gruesome images. So far. Evidence is growing of the dangers of vaping if it is not used as a short-term quitting aid.
Some tobacco companies have started selling tins to avoid the new packaging rules and keep their branding visible. One expert said "The fact that these tins appeared almost immediately prior to the branding and size restrictions coming into force is suspicious." It's not suspicious, it's predictable. They are not going to go down without a fight for a global industry currently worth $770 billion a year.
I've learnt a lot about quitting in the last year, some of it scientific, some of it personal. The main messages are:
- Quitting is bloody awful but if it was easy everyone would do it. I am super special sparkly
- There is no good time to stop. This last year has been a bugger for many reasons
- It's different for everyone
- Think before you open your mouth around a quitter
- There will be consequences. Quitting is damage limitation, not resetting to zero
- There are both genetic and cultural components to addiction
- Public health information and support is very inadequate
- It's really important to get support from anyone who will listen to you constantly whining
- Punching people won't make you want to smoke any less
So that's my year of quitting. Now give me that damn cake.

What do Uber and the pocket calculator have in common? More than you might think.
Both are classic examples of disruptive innovations, what Harvard Business School professor and "The Innovator's Dilemma" author Clayton Christiansen defines as "advances that…transform life, business, and the global economy."
In short, they rocked the boat — they were ideas that started small and simple but gradually changed the way major industries worked.
Take the taxi industry, for example. Less than four years ago, city cabs had a monopoly on the market and taxi service was neither convenient nor customer-focused. Some cities still weren't accepting credit cards.
In 2009, Uber launched a new model with a premium on convenience and customer service. At first it was expensive and only available in a few cities, but, over time with large scale adoption, the cost has come down, making it more accessible. Now available in most major cities, Uber has become a real threat to traditional taxi service.
The pocket calculator followed a similar trajectory. Although its performance was less reliable than the desktop calculator, it was portable and more affordable. Over time, performance improved until the desktop calculator was eventually made obsolete.
So which industry will be next? We believe real estate.
Real estate is a multi-trillion dollar industry and is estimated to account for roughly 12% of the total economy (US BEA).
As it stands today, however, the industry is characterized by a lack of transparency and accessibility to the average investor.
Regulations generally limit investment in individual property to high net-worth investors, barring more than 97% of Americans from investment and the potential profits that come with it.
Fortunately, that is about to change. The passing of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act in April 2012 opens up investment opportunities to the general public, and that means hundreds of millions of new investors able to access real estate investments like never before.
Keep watching to see what happens next. Big changes are ahead.

True Stewardship
( Originally Published 1902 )
JOSEPH ALLEN, of Braddock, Pa., an engineer in the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, was on his way to the mill, when he passed a car loaded with quicklime. A laborer, unloading the car, not noticing him, threw a shovelful of the lime into his face, burning out both of his eyes, and making him the first pensioner of the Andrew Carnegie fund of four million dollars. On retiring from business, Mr. Andrew Carnegie wrote this letter to the people of Pittsburg from New York, dated March 12, 1901:
"An opportunity to retire from business came to me unsought, which I considered it my duty to accept. My resolve was made in youth to retire before old age. From what I have seen around me, I cannot doubt the wisdom of this course, although the change is great, even serious, and seldom brings the happiness expected. But this is because so many, having abundance to retire upon, have so little to retire to. The fathers in olden days taught that a man should have time before the end of his career for the ` making of his soul.' I have always felt that old age should be spent, not as the Scotch say, in ` making mickle mair,' but in making a good use of what has been acquired, and I hope my friends of Pittsburg will approve of my action in retiring while still in full health and vigor, and I can reasonably expect many years for usefulness in fields which have other than personal aims.
" The pain of change and separation from business associations and employees is indeed keen—associates who are at once the best of friends, employees who are not only the best of workmen, but the most self-respecting body of men which the world has to show. Of this I am well assured and very proud.
" I should have more time now to devote to the Institute and to the technical school, which are in the higher domain of Pittsburg's life, and these I have long seen to be my chief work—the field in which I can do the greatest, because the highest, good for Pittsburg. The share which I have had in the material development of our city may be considered only the foundation on which the things of the spirit are built, and in taking the proceeds of the material to develop the things of the spiritual world I feel that I am pursuing the ideal path of life and duty."
A letter of the same date was sent to the president and managers of the Carnegie Company, setting apart a fund of five million dollars—one million for maintaining the libraries built by Carnegie in Braddock, Homestead and Duquesne, and the other four millions to be employed in aiding the poor and disabled workmen of his mills and the needy families of those who met death in their employment. In his letter he says :
"The income of the other four million is to be applied:
" First, to provide for employees of the Carnegie Company in all its works, mines, railways, shops, etc., injured in its service, and for those dependent upon such employees that are killed.
" Second, to provide small pensions or aids to such employees as, after long and creditable service, through exceptional circumstances, need use of it.
" This fund is not intended to be used as a substitute for what the company has been in the habit of doing in such cases. Far from it. It is intended to go still further, and give to the injured or their families, or to employees who are needy in old age, through no fault of their own, some provision against want as long as needed, or until young children can become self-supporting.
" I make this first use of surplus wealth upon retiring from business, as an acknowledgment of the deep debt which I owe to the workmen who have contributed so greatly to my success. I hope the cordial relations which exist between employers and employed throughout all the Carnegie Company's works may never be disturbed, both employers and employed remembering what I said in my last speech to the men at Homestead : ` Labor, capital and business ability are the three legs of a three-legged stool ; neither is first, neither is second, neither is third; there is no precedence, all being equally necessary. He who would sow discord among the three is an enemy of all."
The great steel king has set a beautiful example to the rich men of this country in his estimate of the relation of capital to labor and in his recognition of the debt which wealth owes to poverty. However industrious and cheerful he may have been in the accumulation of his vast fortune, he was never half so happy as he seems to be in giving his money away.

106-Year-Old Women Gets Engaged To Her 66-Year-Old Boyfriend After Falling In Love At A Retirement Home.
A Brazilian pensioner has defied doctors to become the oldest person to get engaged at the age of 106.
Valdemira Rodrigues de Oliveira said yes to her 66-year-old toyboy Aparecido Dias Jacob at a ceremony despite being given advice by physicians not to go ahead with it.
The smitten seniors with the combined age of 172 years have separate rooms at Nossa Senhora Fatima retirement home in Pirassununga, south east Brazil, and were determined to prove it's never too late to be with your soulmate after three years together.
But the elderly sweethearts exchanged engagement rings in a betrothal service organized by volunteers under an initiative called the Project of Dreams.
Volunteer Fabiane Zaffalon, said: 'As they couldn't get married we came up with another way to make their dreams come true by holding an engagement ceremony at the retirement home.'

Dominant Delhi thrash Mumbai
Delhi Daredevils 93 for 3 (Sehwag 32) beat Mumbai Indians 92 (Harbhajan 33, Umesh 2-10, Nadeem 2-16) by seven wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
The battle of the heavyweights in this IPL degenerated into a one-sided contest at the Wankhede Stadium, as the Mumbai Indians' top and middle orders imploded against some attacking bowling from Delhi Daredevils. The implosion was partly forced, partly self-inflicted, and left the visitors chasing the lowest target this IPL season, one they achieved with ease. The Daredevils are on top of the table now with three wins from four games, Mumbai Indians have slipped to fourth place.
Shahbaz Nadeem, the left-arm spinner, has proved effective this season with economical figures and he continued the good work against the Mumbai openers, bowling flat and sticking to a tight line. There was a good amount of bounce available on the track and the new ball helped him get some bite. Nadeem owed some of his success today to Irfan Pathan, who tied down Davy Jacobs at one end, bowling a maiden and it was a matter of time before the opener tried to break through. He swung hard but was bowled by Nadeem to be dismissed for a 10-ball duck, and Richard Levi followed in almost identical fashion against Nadeem eight balls later.
The Daredevils shuffled their bowlers around, and each contributed in a collective effort. Morne Morkel bowled quick and got excellent carry, Ajit Agarkar too generated good pace and Umesh Yadav even more so while being accurate. As the bowlers kept the pressure on throughout, Mumbai didn't help their own case either. Ambati Rayudu was run out thanks to complete confusion partly due to the noise around the stadium, Kieron Pollard holed out attempting a big shot when the need of the hour was some caution and Dinesh Karthik's mistimed pull offered a simple catch to mid-on.
Amid the mess was a counterattack from Rohit Sharma, but one that was lacking in conviction. Three of his four boundaries were top-edges while attempting the pull against the bouncing ball, twice against Morkel. As it turned out, his luck was short-lived, as another top-edge brought his downfall, with Ross Taylor completing one of two well-judged catches in the deep.
Mumbai slipped to 44 for 6 but some meaty hitting from their captain gave them a brief respite. A couple of length balls doled out by Agarkar were dispatched for a six and a four by Harbhajan Singh, whose timing stood out in an otherwise forgettable Mumbai innings. He followed that up with a couple of delightful cuts, one off Agarkar and another against Nadeem, but the slide was to resume soon. Morkel and Pathan returned to knock off the tail, that included Harbhajan himself, as the Daredevils prepared themselves for a quick finish.
Delhi's chase was smooth, and Virender Sehwag's trademark cut for six in the first over further dampened the spirits of the Mumbai crowd. With Lasith Malinga out injured, the Mumbai Indians attack was weakened significantly. Harbhajan, too, didn't bowl an over. A steady opening from Naman Ojha and Sehwag set the tone; Sehwag guided much of the innings, falling shortly before the job was done, and Mahela Jayawardene together with Taylor sealed the win in the 15th over.

Apple today launched a cheaper $999 iMac available exclusively for educational institutions (i.e no individuals can take advantage of this pricing). Normally, the price for Apple's entry level iMac is $1,199.00 and still $150 cheaper than the $1,149 pricing Apple affords to college students.
The education-only iMac sports the following features:
- – 21.5 LED-backlit glossy display
- – 1920×1080 resolution
- – 3.1 GHz dual-core Intel Core i3 with 3MB on-chip shared L3 cache
- – 2 GB of RAM
- – 250 GB hard drive
- – FaceTime HD camera
- – AMD Radeon HD 6750 graphics processor
Conspicuously missing from the spec sheet is Thunderbolt, the impressively fast transfer technology Apple jointly developed with Intel. Instead, the education oriented iMacs sport a mini Display Port. It stands to reason that Apple had to strip down certain features on its all-in-one desktop in order to achieve its sub-$1000 pricepoint. By way of comparison, the aforementioned $1,149 iMac for students sports a more advanced Core i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB hard drive.

The Seattle Overnight question of the week: What do former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper and TV travel guide/author Rick Steves have in common?
They will be attending the "World's largest pot rally" this weekend as main speakers on the main stage for the annual Seattle Hempfest.
All hyperbole aside, it's sure to be the biggest pot rally in Seattle, given the hundred thousand or so sun baked and fully baked folks who turned out for last year's Hempfest in the P-I's back yard at Myrtle Edwards Park, where the event has taken root since 1995.
Steves and Stamper might seem like unlikely speakers, but both have been outspoken proponents for decriminalized marijuana laws in the past. Stamper, in fact, also spoke at the 2006 Hempfest, a first for a former police chief.
FULL SCHEDULE: Main Hempfest Web site
Steves, in particular, made local news last year when he publicly stated his pot position at University of Washington lecture, and Stamper has written and spoken widely on the subject.
Started in 1991, Seattle Hempfest runs Saturday and Sunday after surmounting several permit challenges. Last year, the south entrance was a nightmare maze because of construction of the Olympic Sculpture Park.
But this year, a media release issued by chief organizer Vivian McPeak says Hempfest and the SAM folks are "cooperating on ways to minimize the impact of Hempfest on the Sculpture Park, while respecting the free speech of the annual marijuana reform rally."
So in keeping with that free speech theme, we'd like you to sound off on the subject, leaving it wide open, like the folks at Hempfest and the police, who in the past have displayed an unlikely ability to co-exist. If that now includes the sculpture park, too, then it is sure to be a unique Seattle event to remember.
At least until that short-term memory loss takes over.
HAIKU TIME: Now while you're contemplating whether or not to attend Hempfest, take a stab at the Big Blog's daily Haiku Contest, with today's topic on the Sonics owners.

From Concrete to Greenery: A Garden Tranformed in Oregon
Buell Steelman and Rebecca Sams are alums of Gardens, the groundbreaking landscape architecture design/build firm in Austin, Texas. A decade ago, they traded the heat of the Southwest for the cooler climes of the Pacific Northwest, moving to Eugene, Oregon, where they began their own landscape design/build company, Mosaic Gardens.
The couple bought a ranch-style house (for its affordability, not charm) with a garden that was mostly concrete, located on a steep, sloping, narrow lot. Their own outdoor space promptly became Mosaic Gardens' first major project; read on to learn their secrets. Photographs via Mosaic Gardens.
Above: Steelman and Sams began with the hardscape before tackling the landscape, mapping out pathways and flow with emphasis on focal points seen from the house and other viewpoints on the property. In this case, a Vietnamese urn filled with water flowers sits at the end of a straight pea gravel path flanked by stone. For inspiration on making your own urns, see DIY: Envy-Inducing Planters.
Above: A galvanized stock tank provides a focal point on a circular pea gravel path terrace.
Above: The stock tank is filled with water flowers such as lotus and water lilies in the summer months.
Above: A fruit orchard with a stone sphere built by Steelman. The austerity of the orchard sits in contrast to the rest of the garden. Corrugated roofing panels were used to build the fence, and its surface also serves as a great reflector of light. To see more garden art, visit Modern Sculptures for the Garden: Terra Trellis.

Popular Hometown Singer-Songwriter Josh Krajcik Returns to The College of Wooster
Former "X-Factor" runner-up to perform in concert on Saturday, Dec. 14, in McGaw Chapel
WOOSTER, Ohio — Singer-songwriter Josh Krajcik returns to The College of Wooster for a concert in McGaw Chapel (340 E. University St.) on Saturday, Dec. 14, at 8 p.m. A limited number of discount tickets for students, faculty, and staff are available for $10 at the information desk in Lowry Center. Cash, check, or CoW card are acceptable payment options. CoW cards must be presented at the time of purchase as proof of affiliation with the College. Tickets are also available through Ticketmaster.
A former Wooster resident and a graduate of nearby Triway High School, Krajcik, who first performed at Wooster in September of last year, became an almost overnight sensation as a contestant on the first year of Simon Cowell's "X-Factor" in 2011 when he wound up as the runner-up on the popular talent-search program.
Known for his stellar vocal talent and masterful guitar skills, Krajcik has been described as having "intense passion" and "earthy charm." His forthcoming album, titled "Blindly, Lonely, Lovely," combines elements of rock, soul, and R&B and features a balance of raw emotion and sonic sophistication, according to his website.
Inspired by the likes of soul singers Bill Withers, Ray Charles, and Sam Cooke, Krajcik says he was intrigued by "the way their voice(s) and delivery have this power to bring you into the moment, in a way that you'd be hard-pressed to find in any other style of music." As a vocalist, Krajcik successfully captures that same "in-the-moment" sensation. "Nothing about my style is very calculated," he says. "My feeling is that you have to create music for yourself first, the music that you want to hear and that hits you on a deep emotional level." Some of his compositions that capture the moment include "Nothing," "Hopeful," "One Thing She'll Never Know," and "Let Me Hold You."
Additional information about the concert is available by phone (330-263-2570) or e-mail.


text: Note: I've just donated $10 to noisebridge for adding to this whole discussion. I've thought about it, I don't have a good solution. But I am really disturbed by the non-stop do-ocratic bannings. Frankly, I'm considering do-ocratically inviting Cynthia back into the space (even though I am annoyed by her). I am definitely going to try to make it tonight to block on this until it's further discussed. When "do-ocratic banning" was first used it was in the context of someone that was actively harrassing people and being violent. Noisebridge is not a homeless shelter, but I don't think we should lightly discard radical inclusion. There are a million other ways to handle the situation with someone who at least cleans the kitchen. If push comes to shove, I'll be willing to mediate. This issue isn't going to go away, and I don't think introducing blanket bans or trying to make sophmoric attempts to "define hacking" is going to work. These things have to be a human call, and consensus is there for situations just like this so people can argue over shit...

This Date in San Francisco: 366 Days in the History of Our Fascinating Beloved City
This Date in San Francisco has 12 chapters, one for each month, and 366 entries, one for each calendar date of the year, plus nine more entries under "Some Other Dates." Many entries are memorable and highly significant – April 18, 1906, for example, the great Earthquake and Fire. Some are less significant, but all are diverting and/or amusing. A reader might flip through This Date daily just to see what happened in San Francisco on a given date. This Date in San Francisco also takes a place as a reference work alongside the many other books on San Francisco; this small, young, rowdy city that captured the world's imagination and is still a center of innovation, unconventionality, and beauty.
John C. Ralston is a third-generation San Franciscan whose great-grandfather arrived in The City from Scotland in the early 1860's. As a youngster in the inner Sunset District, John was fascinated with his city's history. After taking a degree in history from the University of California, Berkeley, with emphasis on Russia and the Soviet Union, he studied for a teaching credential at San Francisco State University. Assigned the late Professor Walton Bean's Boss Ruef's San Francisco for a course on California, John's fascination with his city's history was rekindled. Since then, John has collected articles, books, ephemera, and photos of his city. After This Date in San Francisco, John is completing a biography of San Francisco editor Fremont Older.
"Here is the ideal San Francisco calendar--a day by day listing of important events in the city's history. Those great days when the bridges opened--The Golden Gate (May 27) the Bay Bridge (November 12). The day when the first cable car ran (August 1). The moment when television first flickered into life (September 3) and when an audience in San Francisco's Civic Center saw a demonstration of something that would change the world -- the computer mouse (December 9). This book of dates lists fires, riots, celebrations, births, deaths, and disasters in the life of one of the most interesting cities anywhere."

I began bass fishing at Lake Los Carneros in 1983 and quickly fell in love with the lake. For the next 10 years I kept a diary of every trip and every fish. For me it was much more than just catching fish... more than finding that perfect spot, picking the right lure, making that perfect cast and convincing a fish that the lure I picked is food. I wanted to know more... How big do they get? How fast do they grow? How many are there? Which ones are males and which ones are females? Do some move around more than others? If so, why? How soon will they eat again after being caught and released? How much weight does a female gain and lose during spawning season? These are just a handful of the many questions I have about the fish and this beautiful little lake they live in.
My curiosity lead to a short lived research project in the late 90s but it wasn't the right time for me to give a study the dedication it needed. Over the next decade or so I would fish the lake occasionally but it wasn't until the Fall of 2010, when my kids and I started fishing it again on a regular basis, that the time was right for a study that would help answer some of my questions.
The Winter of 2010-2011 brought over 30 inches of rain to the Goleta Valley (average is ~18"). In 2011 the lake was full and healthy. On June 10th while fishing from shore with my kids near the spillway I hooked two bass on the same lure. The kids watched the whole thing. The first fish was on while the second fish was trying to steal the lure out of it's mouth... which lead to the second fish getting hooked as well. Eventually the second fish came off and I landed the first one. Shortly after I released it my daughter Sara asks me, "Daddy, have you ever caught the same fish twice in one day?". Her question inspired me to start another research project at Lake Los Carneros. A project that would eventually become my most extensive to date.
Unfortunately the Winter of 2011-2012 only brought about 13½ inches of rain (~4½ inches below average) and like many times before during years of below average rainfall the lake suffered a large fish kill in the Fall of 2012. At the time we had caught and released 138 twelve inch or larger (12"+) bass out of an estimated population of ~800. These 138 bass were caught and released 178 times between June 12, 2011 and October 26, 2012. Sara, my friend Bryan and I examined the fish kill. We found approximately 143 dead 12"+ bass, at least 100 smaller bass, even more bluegill and one bullhead (catfish).
As I have with each of the fish kills I have seen over the years I couldn't help but wonder... "Did all the fish die?" Thankfully as future data would show only about half of the 12"+ bass were killed during the 2012 fish kill. Five days after we examined the fish kill I walked over to the North Point and caught a 12" bass. Three days later I did it again... same lure, same area. Both fish were caught and released multiple times over the next year and a half and based on their growth rates both fish were females.
A couple of weeks later during Thanksgiving a group of us walked over to the lake. Fishing from shore I caught one of the bass we had caught prior to the fish kill. Knowing at least one of the bass we had caught and released prior to the 2012 fish kill was still alive inspired me to take our current "Have you ever caught the same fish in the same day?" research project to the next level... a detailed 20 month study of 274 bass (12"+) caught and released 743 times.
Below are some of my favorite fish caught during the study and what we learned from them. Click on the links for more detailed information about a particular fish or a particular day.
Fish #279 - How soon will a bass eat again after it has been caught and released?
The fish that answered Sara's original question a year and seven months after she asked it. Bryan and I caught a unique shaped 20" bass (3.4 lbs.) three times on February 24, 2013. The first two catches were 12 minutes apart. The fish was caught an additional four times between March and July 2013 making it the first fish we had caught and released seven times. Eight months later while fishing with my nephew Ryan I caught the fish again (April 12, 2014). As soon as I pulled it out of the water and saw it's unique shape I said to Ryan, "This looks like number 279"... and it was. It had gained about a half an inch and about a pound. It looked very healthy except for a quite severe wound on it's lower jaw. I believe this fish was the longest bass in the lake during the study.
Growth & Size:
Example 1 - male vs. female
and female growth rate:
Example 2 - female growth
Example 3 - female growth
Example 4 - female growth
Example 5 - female growth
Heaviest bass in the lake
during the study:
Surviving the catch -
probability over 97%:
Fish #235 (mentioned above in the introduction) was the first fish caught after the 2012 fish kill that we had caught and released at least once prior to the fish kill. This particular fish was one that at the time of the first catch (July 28, 2012) I questioned whether it would survive or not. It was hooked in the gill and bleeding quite badly. But, we released it anyway and about a month later it was caught again. On November 25, 2012 it was caught a third time and became the first "known survivor" of the 2012 fish kill and a testament to how tough bass can be. #235 was caught and released twice more in 2013.
Fish #333 was an example of how the bass can heal after a severe injury. Originally caught August 25, 2013, then again on January 11, 2014. A typical 12.5" fish. On February 10, 2014 it was caught again but this time it had a very severe, deep, wound on it's back right behind the dorsal fin most likely caused by a bird trying to eat it. It was caught again 5 days later - wound looked the same. A little under 3 months later it was caught again and the wound was completely healed.
Fish #443 was caught for the first time on January 11, 2014. It had a small hook lodged in it's throat which I removed. No blood or noticeable damage. The fish was caught and released 5 more times before I found it dead after the fish kill on July 20, 2014.
My friend Fred caught and released fish #439 three times between January and March of 2014. The second time it was caught an old hook was removed from it's throat.

Fish #400 was first caught on December 15, 2013 "offshore" in the North section of the lake. She was caught four more times in the Spring between January 13, 2014 and April 11, 2014. She is one of several examples of a large female positioned offshore in the late Fall, then moving South-East over to The Ledge to spawn. She lost most of her weight between March 10 and April 11 indicating that she spawned sometime between those two catches.

Fish Identification:
Fish #507 (above), #518 and #525 are three fish that were tagged the second time they were caught. Identified by scale pattern matching and bodily irregularities in photographs.
Fish #518 was a male sitting on a spawning bed caught on March 11, 2014 from shore during a quick stop on my way to work. Noticed the wound just above his anal fin. I remembered that Fred had sent me a picture of an un-tagged fish that had a wound from where he removed a leech. Sure enough it was the same fish. Tagged and release him and he immediately went back to sitting on his bed. About 10 minutes later there were three females in his bed with him. Two of them left relatively quickly but one was still there with him when I left. Took Pierce back to the lake after school. The females were gone but he was still on the bed. Both Pierce and I caught him again. Making him the second fish we caught three times in one day during the study.
#525 - Fred caught an un-tagged fish on February 22, 2014. A month later I caught it again. Later at home when examining pictures of un-tagged fish I noticed they were the same fish
2014 Fish Kills:
Unfortunately, after two more Winters of below average rainfall the lake suffered a severe series of fish kills starting in June which put an end to the study: June 13 - July 11 - July 20 - August 4 - August 26

Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill was full of praise for Robin van Persie after defeat at Manchester United. Van Persie scored his 15th goal of the campaign as United recorded a 3-1 win.
"Robin van Persie was a great purchase," said O'Neill.
"It means Manchester United are capable of scoring goals because Wayne Rooney is a top quality player as well. Whilst their main players stay fit Manchester United are capable of winning the league."
