Managing Negative Hockey Player Attitudes
Negative attitudes can be a real challenge in coaching hockey. How do you tone down the disruptive and ratchet up the excessively shy players on your team? You may come upon some of the attitude challenges listed here. Hopefully, some of the proposed solutions will work for you as well.
Whiners and complainers: Make sure your team is aware of your goals and the team's rules at the outset. Then when a persistent whiner or complainer comes along, you can ask that player to suggest a solution to his concerns, whether it is wanting more ice time or wanting to play on the best line.
Because you've stressed team rules and goals from the get-go, when he offers a solution, you can then respond with something like, "How does that fit with the goals of this team?" This usually makes the player become more realistic. However, if a player persists in wanting ice time, for example, that's in excess of what suits the team goals, nothing's wrong with saying, "It looks like this isn't the team for you. Why don't you look around for one that better suits your purposes?" and let him go.
Egocentrics, superstars, and attention-seekers: One rule applies for all: The team comes first. Sometimes you can tame the big egos before they get too serious by assigning that player tasks to help other teammates, such as during a drill. Vary the leaders in these situations so that no one player's helmet gets too big.
However, if someone breaks the team-comes-first rule persistently, pull that player aside and remind him of the rule and how he fits in that picture. If there's a next time, try a time-out or limit his ice time. Ice time is one of the most valuable commodities to an ego player. Your players should know what you expect of them, what you expect them to do differently when they need correction, and the consequences of their actions if they don't put the team ahead of themselves.
Bullies: A hockey team has no room for bullies, whether their manipulation is physical or emotional. Emotional bullies are more difficult to spot — they put down and intimidate weaker players rather than hit and shove.
Watch for players whose equipment goes strangely missing, who stay on the periphery of the group, or who get ignored in plays. Watch for the ring leader (or leaders) ostracizing her and take that person (or group) aside.
You can send a strong message by saying to the bully, "Who is making you feel so small and stupid that the only way you can feel big is to take your feelings and dump them on someone who is too weak to stand up to you?"
With bullies, you must also finish on a positive note — something like, "You have more going for you than that. You don't need to pick on someone else to feel big; you can get good yourself and be big for real rather than faking it. Let's work on making you the best hockey player you can be — and you can help your teammate get better, too, and you'll have a lot to be proud of. You won't need to pick on anybody to feel like you're a somebody."
Shy players lacking confidence or friends: First and foremost, give these players praise for small jobs well done, and do so frequently. Set small challenges for them that you are quite sure they can accomplish and give them a pat on the back when they do. As much as possible, pair shy kids with teammates who are easygoing and helpful. Provide opportunities for them to get to know teammates socially and to cultivate bonds. Find out their interests and include the shy ones in group commentary as much as possible to draw them out.

Local mirror
Local Mirror
Things to keep in mind:
- Bandwidth is not free for the mirrors. They must pay for all the data they serve you
- This still applies although you pay your ISP
- There are many packages that will be downloaded that you will likely never use
- Mirror operators will much prefer you to download only the packages you need
- Really please look at the alternatives above
If you are absolutely certain that a local mirror is the only sensible solution, then follow the pointers below.
Server Configuration
Building Rsync Command
- Use the rsync arguments from DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors
- Select a server from the above article
- Exclude folder/files you do not want by including
--exclude-from="/path/to/exclude.txt"in the rsync arguments. Example contents might include:
iso #Exclude i686 Packages */os/i686 pool/*/*-i686.pkg.tar.xz pool/*/*-i686.pkg.tar.gz #Exclude x86_64 Packages */os/x86_64 pool/*/*-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz pool/*/*-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
- All packages reside in the pool directory. Symlinks are then created from pool to core/extra/testing/etc..
- As of 9/21/2010 this migration is not yet complete.
- There may be actual packages, instead of symlinks, in ${repo}/os/${arch}
- As of 9/21/2010 this migration is not yet complete.
- Exclude any top-level directories that you do not need
rsync $rsync_arguments --exclude="/path/to/exclude.txt" rsync://example.com/ /path/to/destination
Example Script
Yes, this script is partially broken ON PURPOSE to avoid people doing copy-and-paste to create their own mirror. It should be easy to fix if you REALLY want a mirror.
#!/bin/bash ################################################################################################# ### It is generally frowned upon to create a local mirror due the bandwidth that is required. ### One of the alternatives will likely fulfill your needs. ### REMEMBER: ### * Bandwidth is not free for the mirrors. They must pay for all the data they serve you ### => This still applies although you pay your ISP ### => There are many packages that will be downloaded that you will likely never use ### => Mirror operators will much prefer you to download only the packages you need ### * Really please look at the alternatives on this page: ### https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Local_Mirror ### If you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that a local mirror is the only sensible solution, then this ### script will get you on your way to creating it. ################################################################################################# # Configuration SOURCE='rsync://mirror.example.com/archlinux' DEST='/srv/mirrors/archlinux' BW_LIMIT='500' REPOS='core extra' RSYNC_OPTS="-rtlHq --delete-after --delay-updates --copy-links --safe-links --max-delete=1000 --bwlimit=${BW_LIMIT} --delete-excluded --exclude=.*" LCK_FLE='/var/run/repo-sync.lck' # Make sure only 1 instance runs if [ -e "$LCK_FLE" ] ; then OTHER_PID=`/bin/cat $LCK_FLE` echo "Another instance already running: $OTHER_PID" exit 1 fi echo $$ > "$LCK_FLE" for REPO in $REPOS ; do echo "Syncing $REPO" /usr/bin/rsync $RSYNC_OPTS ${SOURCE}/${REPO} ${DEST} done # Cleanup /bin/rm -f "$LCK_FLE" exit 0
Another mirror script using lftp
lftp can mirror via several different protocols: ftp, http, etc. It also restarts on error, and can run in the background. Put this into your $PATH for an easy way to mirror that continues if you log out.
#!/usr/bin/lftp -f lcd /local/path/to/your/mirror open ftp.archlinux.org (or whatever your favorite mirror is) # Use 'cd' to change into the proper directory on the mirror, if necessary. mirror -cve -x '.*i686.*' core & mirror -cve -x '.*i686.*' extra & mirror -cve -x '.*i686.*' community & mirror -cve -x '.*i686.*' multilib & lcd pool cd pool mirror -cve -x '.*i686.*' community & mirror -cve -x '.*i686.*' packages &
if you want to see the current status of the mirror. open lftp on terminal and type 'attach <PID>'
Partial mirroring
Mirroring only some repositories is definitely not easy, due to the centralization of most packages in `pool/`. See this blog post for an attempt at writing a script for this task.
Client Configuration
- Add the proper Server= variable in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
- For physical media (such as flash drive) the following can be used: Server = file:///mnt/media/repo/$repo/os/$arch (where /mnt/media/repo is directory where local mirror located)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Imelda Marcos' former secretary was sentenced on Monday to up to six years in a New York prison for a scheme to sell art that once belonged to the former Philippine first lady, including a Claude Monet water-lily painting that netted $32 million.
Vilma Bautista, 75, was convicted in November of conspiracy and tax fraud charges related to the sale or attempted sale of four museum-quality paintings acquired by Marcos during the two decades that her husband, Ferdinand Marcos, was president of the Philippines.
The art disappeared around 1986, when Marcos was ousted from power. He died three years later.
A New York state judge sentenced Bautista to between two and six years in prison for the count of tax fraud and between one and three years for the conspiracy charge.
Bautista, who had faced up to 25 years in prison, was also ordered to pay $3.5 million in restitution to the state of New York. Bautista was charged in the state because she lives in New York City.
Prosecutors said Bautista secretly held on to the artwork for more than two decades until 2010, when she sold Monet's "Le Bassin aux Nympheas," part of his famed series of water-lily paintings, to a London gallery for $32 million.
She was also accused of secretly keeping and attempting to sell Monet's "L'Eglise et La Seine a Vetheuil," Alfred Sisley's "Langland Bay" and Albert Marquet's "Le Cypres de Djenan Sidi Said," with help from her two nephews.
During her month-long trial last year, prosecutors said Bautista knew the art was stolen from a Manhattan townhouse that was once used by Imelda and Ferdinand Marcos. They argued she hid the multimillion-dollar pieces until she tried to sell them for personal gain, keeping the money tax-free.
Bautista's lawyers argued that she had been given permission to sell the artwork and had intended to return the money to the Philippine government, but it was seized by the Manhattan district attorney's office before she could do so.
One of Bautista's attorneys on Monday told Reuters Television that she planned to appeal the conviction.
"We will be filing an appeal, and the appeal is going to be somewhat expedited and we're hoping that the appellate division agrees with us," attorney Fran Hoffinger said.
Bautista was released on $275,000 bail pending her appeal.
Bautista was a member of the Philippine foreign service and was a close confidante to the former Philippine first lady, serving as her unofficial New York-based personal secretary while assigned to the Philippine mission to the United Nations from the early 1970s through 1986, prosecutors said.
During her husband's rule, Imelda Marcos amassed art, jewelry and other valuables using state assets. The Philippine government is still trying to recover many of the items.
After Bautista's trial, the Philippine government said in a statement it welcomed her conviction and said it would try to recover the art.
The Philippine government charged Imelda Marcos and her husband with corruption in 1987, seeking billions in U.S. dollars in damages for plundering the Asian nation's wealth.

Captain's Report
Captain Steve Says...
Prepare for Boarding...
The layout of the SX210 interior is not too startling as far as sport boats go. The bow is very roomy thanks to the deckboat style bow that has the forward seats spread apart enough to prevent knocking knees. There's storage under the seats and drink holders in all the right places. If you're a fan of beach boarding, the three-step bow ladder will be a big hit. The helm features a swivel bucket seat, full instrumentation and rocker switches with circuit breakers right next to each one. Yamaha mounted the engine controls on the horizontal, which makes them much easier to use. They mount them at an angle on some of their other boats and I'm glad to see the evolution here.The rest of the cockpit space is taken up with seating that wraps all the way around. Surprisingly absent is the port side seat with the flip back. It's all lounge seating here, so the cockpit table is almost required for most days on the water. The upshot of having this much seating is… underneath it all is gobs of storage, in addition to a deck cooler and additional deck storage forward. This will not hold your skis and wakeboards, but this isn't a problem here, because in the port side compartment (where you might think a head goes) is storage that runs forward under the port side bow seats. It's more than sufficient to hold all the long toys.
The Transom...
Everyone tries to imitate the Yamaha transom but it is difficult because of the extremely low profile of the Yamaha engines vs. the Vortec automotive blocks used by most stern drive engine makers. Yamaha's low profile jet drive engines eliminate the engine box. Yamaha exploits this to its best advantage and creates a stern area that has become not only the focal point of this boat, but the whole new generation of sportboats. It's a very comfortable location for hanging out or swimming and with the table installed, it becomes a fun and unusual venue for cocktails or hors d'oeuvres. In the upper level of the two tiered platform is a hatch which leads to the jet intakes. If there's a clog, (usually sea grass of some sort) this is where it will be, and you can simply reach in and unclog (usually sea grass or some sort) )it without having to get in the water. This is a feature lacking in some of the other jet boats we've seen.
Engines and Construction
The SX210 is powered by two high-performance, four-cylinder, 1052cc Yamaha marine engines. Electronic fuel injection feeds each of these powerplants, providing hard-to-beat times-to-plane. The engines are connected directly to twin 155-mm hyper-flow jet pumps with three-bladed stainless steel impellers.The bottom is a modified deep-V with a 20-degree deadrise at the transom. The hull and deck are cored fiberglass. Fiberglass stringers are fabricated separately, then laminated into the hull and injected with foam to provide extra floatation. The fiberglass liner is bonded to the hull and stringers with polyurethane adhesive and then injected with foam to provide floatation as well as longitudinal and lateral structural rigidity. The deck molding is fastened to the hull with both mechanical fasteners and polyurethane adhesive giving this semi-monocoque fiberglass structure substantial strength and rigidity.All of these construction procedures are pretty much standard among builders of higher-priced boats. It is important to note that while the SX210 is relatively low-priced its construction regimen takes a back seat to no one.
The Yamaha SX210 has a LOA of 21' (6.4 m), a beam of 8'6" (2.6 m), and a draft of only 16" (.4 m). She has a dry weight of 2,802 lb (1,270 kg) and she holds 50.2 gal (190 L) of fuel. Yamaha calls this their entry level watersports boat, but they obviously didn't get the memo on what entry level means. This boat comes complete with the tower and trailer for just under $33,000. Take that number and compare it with any other boat on your short list, and the list will get noticeably shorter in a hurry.
Not only is the Yamaha SX210 a well-built boat, but since Yamaha builds everything in-house, there's no finger-pointing between the engine maker and the boat builder if there is an engine or jet pump warranty claim. It's all Yamaha, so that gives you peace of mind when you walk out the door. Add the safety margin of jet drives and you've got yourself one heck of an entry level package.The one unusual aspect of this boat is its "U"-shaped seating in the cockpit and the absence of a swivel companion seat on the port side opposite the helm. Also there is no head compartment in this model as there is in larger-sized Yamaha boats. We suggest that buyers look at all the Yamaha models and take a test ride to determine which model is best for them.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Yamaha SX210 (2011- ) is 46.6 mph (75 kph), burning 16.4 gallons per hour (gph) or 62.07 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Yamaha SX210 (2011- ) is 31.1 mph (50.1 kph), and the boat gets 3.98 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.69 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 180 miles (289.68 kilometers).
- Tested power is 2 x 1052 cc Yamaha Marine Engines.

Hi, welcome to another interview for my biweekly interview series. I have been behind due to other projects so I'm having a special edition of my interview series featuring the lovely and talented Shivangi Singh from Minnesota in the United States, on a Sunday. Her blog's link is here: Stories by Shivangi – Once Upon A Time . . .
1. Please Tell Us About Yourself?
I am Shivangi Singh from 'Stories by Shivangi' from Minnesota in the Unites States. I am a stay at home mom and I love to weave stories inspired by my surroundings. If you enjoy stories, films, and kids stuff, visit my blog, you will most definitely enjoy it.
As a child, I aways dreamt of writing books but with the development of technology, I have learned how easy it is to self-publish, now more than ever. I have managed to write, do some illustrating, and be the author of two children's books that are available on Apple Itunes. They include the books below.
The Princess with Brown Teeth

Who Ate The Moon
By Shivangi Singh
Find it on Itunes here: (https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/who-ate-the-moon/id1206671343?mt=11).
2. Please Tell Us About Your Recent Book? When Did You Begin Blogging and Writing?
My recent book Who Ate The Moon is about two naughty brothers Aala and Uja, who adore the moon. They steal the moon and through stealing it learn about the different phases of the moon. The book is educational as well as entertaining. Through my children's books, I'm trying to make learning fun for kids.
I began blogging in January 2015 soon after my first little one was born. I have been a copywriter, journalist, and have won several awards in creative writing. The purpose of 'Stories by Shivangi' was to maintain my flair for writing. I was also feeling a little disconnected after moving to the USA from India, so I chose to start my blog to establish a connection with fellow bloggers, writers, and friends. Ultimately, my blog showed me the way to my dream of being a published author.
3. How is Writing and Blogging Meaningful for You? Where Do You Find Your Motivation and Inspiration to Write? Why Is Writing Important to You?
My blog and writing my books provide me with a much-needed creative outlet. It is my voice! I use this voice to entertain, advocate, and teach little ones such as my own.
My inspirations are my surroundings, my kids, and the latest news or current events. As a child, I loved story books and I want my kids to love reading as much as I do. Mothers are the first teachers' of their children so it's my endeavor to instill the love of reading and writing in them. If I write blogs and books, they too will understand the joy of knowledge. This is one of my primary motivations to continue my blog as well as having that creative outlet for myself to write what I would like.

4. Do You Have Any Particular Blog or Writing Habits?
I write on the go and on my smartphone. A sentence here and a word there. With two demanding little ones around, it is harrowing to write sometimes and that is why I try not to commit to too much writing at this time. As my kids grow up and depend on me less, I will devote more time to writing books and to blogging.
5. What Are Your Most Current Writing Projects On Your Blog or Otherwise?
As of now, I have not planned anything. I will just keep writing one blog a week! My projects have been my two kids books which you can access above. As I said, I try to not commit to too much with my little ones and their demands at the moment.
My book did get reviewed by Ritu of But I Smile Anyway, and I wrote a guest post for the site. I was interviewed by Ranjeeta of atrangizindagieksafar as well but have no future plans as of right now beyond blogging.
" [I]t is harrowing to write sometimes and that is why I try not to commit to too much writing at this time. As my kids grow up and depend on me less, I will devote more time to writing books and to blogging." -Shivangi Singh
6. Can You Briefly Describe Your Writing Process You Went Through Writing Your Books?
It was quite challenging! I wrote the children's books and created illustrations using inspiration by reading other books here and there. I had no professional help whatsoever while publishing and am proud to say I figured it out on my own. I kept reading DIY blog posts and forums and through them, I managed to publish my children's stories.
Time was a challenge and so were the illustrations, but I did have an illustrator paint my cartoons in the first book (The Princess with Brown Teeth). But in my second book, I illustrated with the help of Pixton.com. My challenged of obtaining a visa was also a challenge so I couldn't publish my books on Kindle. I was thrilled when my books were published on Apple, but then, I know many people with Android readers don't have access to my books.
I did, however, put together a video on YouTube and did a voiceover of my books for readers who could not obtain my books through Apple. It did not come out as I had expected and I struggled on each step. I learned an enormous amount of information about putting together a video of my books in the process.
7. What Keeps You Going As a Writer? Do You Prefer Any Writing or Reading Genres?
Persistence and a love for writing are key, a person just has to keep writing no matter what. As well, I am absolutely crazy about fiction! I like to read poetry too!

8. Do You Have Any Helpful Advice For Other Bloggers? Is There Anything Else You Would Like To Share With Us Pertinent to Yourself or Your Writing?
All my blog friends are doing great! I would advise them to be persistent and be better than their last post! As for having anything else to say, well, I think I have said it all😀
9. For Fun, What Are You Three Favorite Blogs You Follow, of Any Kind?
When I first entered the blog world, these were my favourite people. I continue to enjoy reading them.
- Priceless Joy — Her stories are awesome and her Flash Fiction for the Aspiring Writer Challenge is great for those who love writing and working on telling a story in only 150 to 175 words.
- Ritu of But I Smile anyway — She blogs about day to day activities but the way she presents these activities, the way she writes, is awesome. Also, Ritu is such a positive and inspiring person!
- Ali of Draliman On Life — (Because Sometimes Life Just Makes You Stop and Think) — If you love a good laugh, visit Ali's blog. I am a big fan of his humorous works.
- I would also like to mention Millie Thom from Bringing History To Life — she is a writer par excellence.

Anecdote – Lesson By My Grandma!
By Shivangi Singh
May 9, 2016
My grandma is a grand old lady nearing a century. If you look at her, she may appear formidable in the beginning and then a ringing laughter would ensue, dismantling the image you had conjured up in your mind. The fact is, she is both formidable as well as light hearted. A unique, delightful combination!
Born and brought up in a royal family ( Kharsawan, Jharkhand), she has always had that regal bearing. She believes in maintaining distance from her kids, grandkids, great-grandkids as well as recently added a great-great-grand kid. And we are all supposed to behave in her presence. We rise when she enters the room and remain respectful in her presence.
During my childhood years, we lived with her, so, we had the opportunity to observe her from the closest quarters. I discovered her lighter side later in life. Initially, I was apprehensive of her. She commanded and the household ran according to her. But as I grew up, I discovered the lighter, fun side of her personality. There have been many instances when she would have us in splits.
Here is one such incident. One of our cousins was going to meet a prospective bridegroom. In arranged marriages in India, girls and guys are introduced by their families, they meet up, chat and then a decision is taken unanimously.
So, this cousin was both excited as well as scared before her first meeting. Our granny called her and said, "If you like this man, try to do little something to make him fall for you."
We were seeing another aspect of our grandma. We all asked, "what?". She immediately showed us how to woo a husband – "Look sideways at him and then look down… blush… look up again at him… look down and blush again. And then smile juuust a little." We doubled up with laughter!
I don't know whether my cousin looked sideways at the prospective groom or not but they ended up getting married!
(Sharing a picture of my grandparents)
I look up to my grand old lady because she always had the audacity to laugh at all challenges that came in her life. In her almost 100 years of life, she has seen many ups and downs. All her peers are long gone now, times have changed but she has remained strong.
I adore her because she is quite broad-minded, childlike and her booming laughter lightens the most serious of situations. A great devotee of Krishna, she follows what the playful God says – to celebrate life as it is!
Long live my grandma!

Debbie Rowe, 54, broke into tears and sobbed loudly while answering questions under cross-examination about 15-year-old Paris and the teenager's recent suicide attempt.
"Her father is dead. I almost lost my daughter," Rowe said in Los Angeles Superior Court, which is hearing a lawsuit brought by Jackson's family against concert promoter AEG Live.
"She tried to kill herself," said Rowe, who grew so emotional that the court adjourned for a break, and she was not called back to testify. "She is devastated. She doesn't have a life. She doesn't feel like she has a life anymore."
Debbie Rowe, ex-wife of singer Michael Jackson, leaves after testifying in a lawsuit brought by the late singer's family
Rowe does not have custody over her children, Paris and Prince, who live with their grandmother, Katherine Jackson. Michael Jackson's other child, Prince Michael II, known as Blanket, also lives with Katherine Jackson.
Katherine Jackson and Jackson's children are suing AEG Live over the singer's 2009 death in Los Angeles from an overdose of the surgical anaesthetic Propofol, alleging that the privately held company negligently hired Conrad Murray as Jackson's personal physician and ignored signs that the singer was in poor health prior to his death.
This is Rowe's second day testifying in the trial in which she was called to the stand by AEG Live.
Rowe, who has rarely spoken publicly about Jackson or her children, was married to the "Thriller" singer from 1996 to 1999 and is the mother of his two eldest children, Paris and 16-year-old Prince.
Paris, who has recently rekindled her relationship with Rowe, was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital in June after a suicide attempt.
Paris's family said at the time that the teenager was "physically fine" and "being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are ... especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you".
When asked about her relationship with Prince, Rowe said: "We don't hate each other."
She said she does not see Prince much but speaks almost daily with Paris.
Under cross-examination by Katherine Jackson's lawyers, Rowe reiterated her testimony from Wednesday, saying that Jackson's doctors did not treat the singer with his best interests in mind and took advantage of his fear of pain.
Rowe, who has testified that she began to grow worried about Jackson's prescription drug use in the early 1990s after he underwent several medical procedures, also said that the singer did not like medication that made him slur his speech or feel as if he was not in control.
"He didn't like being high," she said.
Rowe told jurors on Wednesday that Jackson was administered powerful anaesthetic drugs because he was having trouble sleeping.
"Michael was at the end of his rope. He didn't know what to do," she said about a time on tour in 1997. "He was more worried about not sleeping than dying because he couldn't perform (without sleep)."
Murray, who was caring for Jackson as the singer rehearsed for his series of 50 comeback "This Is It" concerts, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 for administering the Propofol that killed the star.
AEG Live has argued that Jackson, who was 50 at the time of his death, had prescription drug and addiction problems for years before entering into any agreement with the company.
It also has said that it did not hire or supervise Murray and could not have foreseen that the physician would have posed a danger to the singer.

Wedding Invitations. Wedding invitations as a type of formal invitation are generally fully engraved, Ihere are a multitude of styles and colors of paper available to the bride for wedding invitations and the standard plain white card is no longer a must. The following examples are suitable formats:
If the bride is a member of the armed forces, it may be shown as:
Margaret Louise
Lieutenant, United States Navy
If the parents of the bride are deceased, invitations may be issued by a close, older relative:
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their granddaughter
Margaret Louise Connelly
If the brides father is deceased or divorced and her mother is remarried:
Captain and Mrs. William Green
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of her daughter
Margaret Louise Connelly
Mrs. William Green
requests the honor of your presence
at the marriage of her daughter
Margaret Louise Connelly
If the brides mother is deceased and her father is remarried:
Commander and Mrs. Joseph Brian Comelly
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of his daughter
Margaret Louise
If the bride is a young widow:
Commander and Mrs. Joseph Brian Comelly
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Margaret Connelly Jones
If either the bride or the grooms rank is that of Commander or Lieutenant Colonel or senior, it is properly shown with the rank preceding the name:
Commander Peter David Jones, Junior
United States Navy
Those of the rank Lieutenant Commander or Major and below use the following format:
Elizabeth Eileen Smith
Lieutenant, United States Navy
Their" may be substituted for his provided the relationship between daughter and stepmother is a close one.
Invitations to church weddings customarily do not request a reply. R.S.V.P. is included on the invitations to receptions which appear as:
immediately following the ceremony
The Naval Officers Club
Bethesda, Maryland
700 Idaho Street, Northwest
Washington, District of Columbia 20320
Commander and Mrs. Joseph Brian Connelly
request the pleasure of your company
at the reception
following the ceremony
700 Idaho Street, Northwest
Washington, District of Columbia
If everyone invited to attend the ceremony is also invited to attend the reception, simply add the following to the basic wedding invitation:
and afterwards at the reception
Army-Navy Country Club
Arlington, Virginia
When double envelopes are used, the outer one should have the full name and address of the invited guests handwritten in ink; and the inner one, the guests courtesy titles and surnames only (Mr. and Mrs. Brown; Rear Admiral and Mrs. Symthe; Commander Black). The inside envelop is placed within the outer envelope in such a manner that the writing on the former faces the back of the latter so that it will be on top when the outer envelope is opened.
Here are several examples
Army/Marines-Captain or higher
Navy/Air Force-Lieutenant, senior grade or higher -
Title appears on the same line as the name:
Colonel James Jones
United States Army.
... with wife:
Colonel and Mrs. James Jones
United States Army.
For lower ranks:
John Doe
Seaman, United States Navy
If there's a "Mrs.", the envelope is addressed as "John Doe and Mrs. John Doe". By leaving off the title "Mr.", you're indicating it's John that's the Seaman. If it's the "Mrs." that's the seaman, the envelope is addressed as: "Mr. John Doe and Jane Doe". Same logic applies in leaving off the title.
Officers in Reserve:
Colonel and Mrs. James Jones
United States Naval Reserve for Army: Army of the United States
First and second Lieutenant:
First and second Lts. use "Lieutenant" only. A numerical designation is not used.
Retired officers as indicated above for those ranks:
Retired officers as indicated above for those ranks, should list themselves as "United States Army, Retired"
Additional Insights:
Rules for the Army apply to the Marines, rules for the Navy apply to the Air Force (yes, I know, the Marines are a branch of the Navy but the addressing is not the same).
I also understand the military has slightly different rules for addressing. However, this is a "social" function, not a "military" function. Even if it's a military wedding, it's still a social function because it is not directly sanctioned (but they are approved, there's a difference) by the Commander-in-Chief.

I actually have a few more, prompted by the suggestions of others ...
* Actually if you use tampons take some of those in, if they are looking at your urine (post catheter removal) it can be useful to be able to demonstrate it is a period not a bleed (tampons are generally banned from hospitals so you would not be able to get any from them). But ask before you use them.
* I find the warm environment of hospitals gives me a 'stuffy' nose - so an olbas inhaler is helpful to clear my nose - and like Jen says lipbalm is a must.
* I didn't use my own PJ's for a while as I was having scans etc almost every day - just got 2 gowns and used them back to back (also saved on a dressing gown)
* Now is not the time for your la perla knickers - stick to the Bridget Jones variety, and make sure they are comfy
* If people want to bring you food in hospital, ask them not to bring choccies, but salty snacks (crisps/ savory biscuits etc) as the saltiness helps make you thirsty and that helps your fluid intake.
I should probably not admit this, but a week post tx I did a bunk from hospital and went to the hairdresser to get my (long) hair washed and dried, and also a mini facial/pedicure. I was exhausted afterwards but felt 100% more comfortable than before. I would not recommend this but perhaps ask a friend to help do something similar in hospital!

Michael Hoffman No thanks. I don't enjoy cakes and pies, etc. But I must compliment you on hiring a new waitress who can shoot good photos.
PNWCHEF Chewy, looks real good, you told me about this cake a month a go. The lady that traveled 50 miles for dinner at Chubby's, had some cake for dessert and traveled back for more later in the day. Now thats Roadfood at it's best.................Great job my friend................Bill
chewingthefat Michael Hoffman No thanks. I don't enjoy cakes and pies, etc. But I must compliment you on hiring a new waitress who can shoot good photos. My Daughters I Phone, takes great pics!
mar52 Looks great! Is that whipped cream and ice cream?
Michael Hoffman OK Tom. You've rung the bell with the correct spelling of caramel. I get so tired of seeing it spelled (and hearing it pronounced) carmel. While I wouldn't eat it -- hey, it's probably sweet -- I appreciate the artistry.
Greymo Tom, our family really does not care for cake but this might be just the thing for me to make for my granddaughter's 14th birthday. I am going to make one in next few days and test it on the family and if they like it, it will be her birthday cake on the 25th. She does like Smith Island cake but I am not a fan, so we shall see. Thank you for the post.
Sundancer7 Chewie: It looks real good to me and very appetizing. Presentation is what sells along with great taste. In my opinion a super job. Quite a hike from Knoxville to Maryland but I believe it would be worth it. Perhaps late spring. Paul E. Smith Knoxville, TN
Greymo Hey Sundancer.............take it from me. He is one super guy and one super cook...........and has a lovely wife !

Latest News
Lebanon moves against what it says are growing numbers of Syrian rebels fleeing across border
Syrian rebels from the al Qaida-linked Nusra Front have kidnapped at least six Syrian refugees from unofficial refugee camps along the remote Syria-Lebanon border in the last two weeks, sparking a tough crackdown by the Lebanese army, which last week sealed off this city and arrested several local rebel supporters.
Rebel supporters deny the army's assertions that the border area has been flooded with Syrian rebels fleeing a Syrian government offensive, which has wrested control of nearby Syrian cities from the rebels. One activist, Abu Omar al Hujeiri, insisted that the rebels who withdrew from Qalamoun all went toward Syria's Hama province and that the army's description of the area was simply an excuse to harass the mostly Sunni Muslim population.
"The authorities and Hezbollah use these incidents as an excuse to crush Sunnis in Arsal by saying this town is full of terrorists," he said.
But even Hujeiri, who faces criminal charges in Lebanon for belonging to an armed Syrian group, acknowledged that armed men from Syria have been snatching people along the border, recounting an incident May 5 when two armed men driving an SUV with Syrian license plates kidnapped four men from an unofficial refugee camp in the Wadi al Hosn area on Arsal's outskirts.
The Lebanese National News Agency identified the four men as members of the al Ghawi and Yassine family from the Syrian village of Qara in Qalamoun, a mountainous region along the Syrian-Lebanese border where the Syrian government and its allies in Hezbollah have waged a months-long campaign to eject rebel forces. The fighting displaced hundreds of thousands of Syrians, many of whom fled to Lebanon.
A Lebanese security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he does not have permission to speak openly with reporters, said the kidnapping was "political and related to the security operations in Syria." He said it was preceded by another kidnapping a week earlier of at least two other Syrian men from another part of Arsal. In both cases, he said, fighters from the Nusra Front conducted the kidnappings. In both cases, the victims were transported to Syria via one of the many smuggler trails that connect Qalamoun and Arsal, the security official said.
"We feared these incidents as the Qalamoun pocket collapses and terrorists are able to move into Lebanon with refugees as cover," he said. "This is why we conducted the security operation."
On Friday, the Lebanese army restricted access to areas around Arsal as it conducted a series of raids to capture armed men fleeing the battlefield and taking refuge in Lebanon. Tanks and helicopters could be seen circling the area between Arsal and the Syrian border, about five miles away, and soldiers confirmed they had been ordered to keep journalists out of the area during the operation.
"The decision to make Arsal a closed military zone is for your safety," said a Lebanese army special forces captain who refused to give his name while briefly detaining a journalist at a checkpoint. "We are clearing terrorists from Arsal and from illegal camps along the border."
The official National News Agency NA reported that Lebanese special forces units arrested at least 40 armed men in the operation.
Arsal has seen its normal 40,000 population nearly double from the influx of refugees from Syria, with tens of thousands more settling in outlying areas. Lebanon has more than 1 million refugees registered with the United Nations from the conflict in Syria, as well as hundreds of thousands of longtime Palestinian refugees spread between nine camps around the country.
Many Lebanese blame the Palestinians for the 1975 to 1990 Lebanese civil war. As a result, the government has been extremely reluctant to allow the establishment of official refugee camps that might become permanent.
A Hezbollah security official, Abu Reda Maqdad, said that the refugee populations _ both Syrian and Palestinian _ have become the group's main security concern now that the Qalamoun area has been largely pacified.
"When we took Yabroud," he said, referring to a rebel-controlled Syrian city not far from the Lebanese border that fell to forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad in March, "we found the car bomb factory." That ended the threat of attacks coming from Syria that had included car bombings in Beirut. But he said Hezbollah and the Lebanese now fear extremists are "using the refugee situation to infiltrate the camps and Beirut."
He also noted that the group's patrols and training camps, which are mostly located in remote areas around the Syrian border and in the Bekaa Valley, have repeatedly encountered Syrian militants trying to infiltrate Lebanon.
"Every week we kill some," he said. "Sometimes they're coming to attack one of our facilities or sometimes we encounter them on patrols. But it's every week since Yabroud fell."

The global economy is going through tectonic changes. Twenty years ago, industrialized nations represented two-thirds of global output, while developing nations were one-third. Two decades from now, the ratios will have reversed. This changing landscape reflects rapid productivity growth, and often strong population growth, in emerging economies. Concurrently, advanced countries are mired with sustained slow growth, as they struggle with the long-lasting legacies from the recent financial crisis, unsustainable fiscal balances and aging populations.
A key risk is that governments could resist globalization through protectionist policies. Fortunately, today's leaders are not headed in this direction. The government of Canada is striving to create additional opportunities to make Canada a bigger player in a globalized world, which includes seeking out free trade agreements, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership. However, this raises the questions of whether Canadian businesses are well positioned to take advantage of the possibilities for increased trade and investment and whether they can cope with ever-rising foreign competitive pressures. Canada's track record is not encouraging.
The value of Canadian exports during the pre-recession period of 2000 to 2008 rose by a modest 2% per annum, but the volume of exports was flat. Imports grew during the period at a rate of close to 5% annually; but imports appear to have been fuelled by domestic consumption, rather than used to bolster export capacity. This occurred at a time when world demand was growing strongly and global trade flows were ballooning.
During the economic recovery, exports have rebounded; but, exports as a share of the economy have fallen to 34%, down from 37% before the recession and 41% in 2002. Moreover, the volume of exports is still 3% below the pre-recession levels, with non-energy exports down 5%. Imports are now above their pre-recession levels, suggesting Canadian businesses are facing increased foreign competition in domestic markets.
Of course, businesses can tap markets abroad without trade, such as setting up plants in foreign locations. In the pre-recession period, Canadian foreign investment did increase, but it was dominated by just two sectors: energy and financial services.
The poor trade and investment performance reflects several factors, including the dramatic appreciation in the Canadian dollar since 2002 that has fuelled talk of a Canadian-style Dutch Disease. The resulting policy debate has been misguided. The choice between growing Canada's resource sector or growing its non-resource sectors is a false one. Canada must develop its commodity resources in the most sustainable way possible for the benefit of the nation and the world, while non-resource sectors have to find ways to be profitable with a strong currency. Rather, emphasis should be placed on the need for Canadian businesses to be more productive and innovative to succeed in a globally integrated economy. This is true for exporters and domestic-oriented firms that compete with foreign rivals. Sadly, Canada has a productivity problem today.
Canadian productivity has been rising at an average annual pace of close to 1% over the past decade. This is one of the slowest rates in the industrialized world. In ranking, it puts Canada modestly above Italy and below Spain — not good company. Moreover, foreign-owned enterprises operating in Canada have recorded significantly stronger productivity growth than domestic-owned firms.
Canada would benefit from greater investment in capital and better matching of labour skills to the needs of business, but the quality of capital or labour does not appear to be the main problem. The single-greatest contributor to Canada's plight appears to be weak innovation, which economists refer to as multi-factor productivity. Businesses are simply not being creative enough with the capital and labour they have. One contributing factor could be that Canadian business leaders are more risk averse than their international counterparts. Canada also does less research and development and it takes longer for innovations to be commercialized.
Canada needs to step up its game. Over the next two decades, Canada's share of the world economy will fall by a third to a mere 1%. Businesses must look globally for growth and must increase competitiveness.
The best role that the government can play is to provide sound and stable macroeconomic policy — low and stable inflation, competitive tax rates, good infrastructure, limited barriers to entrepreneurship, reduced barriers to trade and investment and support for human capital through access to education and good health care.
Beyond that, businesses have to step up to the plate. This means being more innovative. There are huge benefits from becoming plugged into a global supply chain. Canadian firms cannot compete on the basis of lower costs, so they must compete through better quality or being a niche player that fills a global or domestic need. One of the core challenges is that in this ever-changing global economy, any competitive advantage will be lost within a short period of time. Businesses need to be nimble, constantly looking for ways to improve production or performance. It is only through greater innovation that Canada can be competitive and raise the standard of living for its citizens.
Craig Alexander is senior vice-president and chief economist for TD Bank Group
With the global economy in a slump, it is more crucial than ever for Canada to optimize productivity. Visit financialpost.com/productive-conversations Tuesdays for more insight from some of Canada's leading business minds on how our country can overcome its competitive challenges and take advantage of new opportunities.

RIVERSIDE, California (Reuters) - A California man accused alongside three co-defendants of conspiring to provide support to al Qaeda and Taliban militants plotting attacks against Americans overseas was ordered held without bail on Monday by a federal judge.
Arifeen David Gojali, 21, was arrested with two others last week outside a southern California apartment complex by authorities who said the trio had imminent plans to travel to Afghanistan via Mexico and Turkey to prepare for "violent jihad."
A fourth man, accused ringleader Sohiel Omar Kabir, 34, was apprehended in Afghanistan and remains in custody there, according to the FBI.
"I specifically find that the defendant poses a serious risk of flight and a danger and the defense has not rebutted to the contrary," U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym said in ordering Gojali jailed without bond.
Defense attorneys did not contest Pym's ruling during proceedings in U.S. District Court in Riverside, 60 miles east of Los Angeles, and said outside court that Gojali and his family could not afford to post bond.
"When you can't get over that hurdle, there's nothing you can do," attorney John Aquilina said of his client, who was escorted into court by U.S. Marshals wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and shackled at the waist.
The four defendants, all U.S. citizens or permanent residents, are charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.
Kabir, the accused ringleader, is charged with recruiting co-defendants Ralph Deleon, 23, and Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales, 21, who converted to Islam under his tutelage. Those two are in turn alleged to have enlisted Gojali.
In conversations relayed or recorded by an unidentified paid FBI informant, Deleon and Santana spoke about traveling to Afghanistan to join Kabir and engage jihad, according to the criminal complaint. It said they described potential targets for attacks including U.S. military bases.
Together with Gojali, they also made visits to a Los Angeles firing range and a paint ball facility for shooting practice "to prepare for terrorist training oversees," the FBI said.
Kabir, a naturalized U.S. citizen who lived in the Los Angeles suburb of Pomona before going abroad in late 2011, was born in Afghanistan and served in the U.S. Air Force from 2000 to 2001, according to the FBI.
The FBI has declined to elaborate on Kabir's status or discuss when he might be returned to the United States to face charges, saying only that he remained in custody in Afghanistan.
They each face up to 15 years in prison if convicted of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.

Why Frank Underwood Is a Democrat
By now, most "House of Cards" junkies have gotten their fix and consumed all 13 episodes of season two of the buzzy Netflix show. Waiting for season three gives us time to step back and consider what we might learn from what is certainly the best political drama you can stream over the Internet.
If you haven't seen the show, here's a capsule summary: "House of Cards" offers a deliciously cynical view of the world's most important sausage factory. Sure, some of the plot twists are unrealistic, but it does capture the self-interest, pandering and double-dealing that are consistent with the economic theory known as public choice — a theory that views politicians as being much like the rest of us — a mix of self-interest and higher-minded motives.
Story Continued Below
At the center of the show is Frank Underwood, played with such panache by Kevin Spacey. On the surface, Underwood is a classic Washington insider — a wheeler-dealer, a master of the cloakroom, always looking for a leverage point with a colleague that will allow him to get what he wants. What he wants more than anything else is power.
That's on the surface. We in the audience know better. Deep down there is something rotten in the state of Frank Underwood. He isn't just self-interested and ambitious. His ambition is boundless. Saying he has no principles is unfair to people without principles. Underwood is willing to do anything to serve himself and accumulate power, and in the first two seasons we've seen Frank do horrific things as he tries to climb the greasy pole. In short, Underwood isn't just an unattractive person. He's a psychopath. So why did the creators of the show make him a Democrat?
"House of Cards" is based on the British show of the same name. The creator of the American version, Beau Willimon, has followed many of the plot twists of the British version turn for turn. But in the British version, the main character is a conservative. Why did Willimon make Spacey's character a Democrat who leans liberal, when he leans at all?
In an interview with TV Guide, Willimon described Underwood as "two scoops of LBJ with a dash of Richard III and a pinch of Hannibal Lecter." Lyndon Baines Johnson was one of the great congressional arm-twisters of the 20th century and one of the most ruthless and ambitious politicians of all time. Underwood's office has a famous set of pictures of the real-life LBJ working a colleague over with a mixture of charm and bullying, very much in the way Underwood behaves on the show. So there's an element of cinéma vérité here.
But the real reason they made Underwood a Democrat, I think, is a little stranger and a little darker. And it comes with a lesson for Republicans. I think Willimon made Underwood a Democrat because he wanted us to like him.

Game 1 Box Score
Game 2 Box Score
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University baseball team picked up two big West Coast Conference wins Sunday afternoon as they swept a doubleheader from the University of San Diego by scores of 6-0 and 2-1. The wins move the Broncos' record to 18-21 overall and 10-5 in league action while the Toreros' record falls to 19-23 overall and 9-9 in WCC play.
Santa Clara picked up the win in game one behind a complete game shutout from Joe Diefenderfer who allowed only five hits while walking two and striking out seven. The win moves his season record to 6-3 overall while his conference record improves to 4-0. It was the second complete-game shutout of the season for Diefenderfer who has led the team to a 5-0 WCC record in his four conference starts.
Scott Dierks and Jim Wallace each picked up two hits in game one with Dierks scoring twice and Wallace knocking in two. Michael Thompson and Jack Headley each had a hit and a RBI in the game.
Aaron Wilson took the loss and fell to 3-5 on the year after allowing four runs on five hits in 1 1/3 innings of work. Brett Gillespie and David Dunn combined to throw the final 6 2/3 innings, allowing only two runs on five hits to go along with two walks and three strikeouts.
Game two was a nail biter from the beginning as both starters, Kellan McConnell for Santa Clara and Justin Blaine for San Diego, looked very dominant in their time on the mound.
McConnell threw four full innings in which he allowed only two hits before leaving the game to start the fifth after he reached his pitch count maximum. He gave way to John Redmond who threw 3 2/3 innings, allowing only one unearned run and five hits to move his season record to 4-3 on the year. Anthony Rea picked up his first save of the season after recording the final four outs to secure the one run win.
Blaine allowed only one run on six hits with one walk and three strikeouts in five full innings of work. Brian Jones allowed one run on one hit in two innings before Tony Perez recorded three outs in the eighth to keep USD within striking distance.
Headley picked up his second RBI of the day and gave Santa Clara a 1-0 lead in the third inning as his single to right center field plated Dierks who reached on a double to left field. Shawn Epidendio picked up what turned out to be the game-winning RBI with a single to right field that scored A.J. LaBarbera who had reached earlier in the inning on a walk.
The RBI single by Epidendio turned out to be huge as San Diego scored their lone run in the eighth inning on a Zach Dobek single to center that scored Freddie Sandoval from second. Pinch runner Gavin Ng moved up to third on the Dobek single but was cut down at the plate on the very next play as he tried to score on a double steal. Wallace's throw from behind the dish was cutoff beautifully by LaBarbera who fired home just in time to get Ng and preserve the one run lead.
With the win, Santa Clara moves to within two games of Coast Division leader, Pepperdine, who swept Loyola Marymount this weekend and has a 12-3 mark in league play. San Diego is now tied with LMU for the lead in the West Division as both teams currently have .500 records in the conference with LMU's league record now at 8-8.
The Broncos return to action and return to the road next weekend as they travel to Portland, Oregon to take on the University of Portland in a three-game series. The first game of the series will be played on Thursday, April 17th at 3 p.m., while game two and game three will be played as part of a Saturday doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m. on April 19th. The abnormal schedule is to accommodate the Good Friday and Easter Sunday holidays.

Vermont Senate approves assisted death bill
Associated Press
MONTPELIER -- The Vermont Senate on Thursday passed a stripped-down version of a bill that would let doctors help terminally ill patients die, relieving health workers and family members of criminal or civil liability but removing several patient protections that were in the original version of the bill.
The final vote was 22-8.
The measure now moves to the House, which is expected to redraft it into a version much closer to the original bill, which was modeled on the Death With Dignity Act that Oregon has had in place for 15 years. Gov. Peter Shumlin on Thursday said he would support that redrafting effort.
Differences between House and Senate versions then would be worked out in a conference committee.
Thursday's passage came after three days of impassioned debate in the Senate on whether Vermont should become the first state to legislate such a measure. Oregon and Washington passed assisted-death laws by referendum. Several senators told of their own loved-ones' deaths
"This ought to be something between a patient and her doctor, and a patient at the end of life ought to have that choice," said Sen. Peter Galbraith, D-Windham, a key author of the legislation that passed Thursday.
The version the Senate agreed to actually was an amended form of a plan Galbraith had proposed a day earlier that he said was aimed at limiting state involvement in the care of terminal patients, at the same time relieving those involved in managing such a patient's final days any threat of being prosecuted, sued or disciplined by regulators.
Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Addison and the leading proponent of the original bill, rebutted the argument that the state should not be involved in health care decisions, saying government is already a pervasive regulator of medicine.
Ayer spent much of her time during three days of Senate debate on her feat defending the original bill that passed out of her committee on a 5-0 vote. She said it was based on an "Oregon recipe" that had been tested for 15 years and found to work well there.
The underlying bill contained a series of safeguards to ensure the patient had a sound mind and was not under any undue pressure when making the decision to take a lethal dose of medication. The patient had to make the request for the medication three times, once in writing. Two doctors had to agree on a prognosis of less than six months to live.
The bill that passed was reduced from 22 pages in length to one.
Its key sections say a health professional "shall not be subject to criminal or civil liability or professional disciplinary action if the patient self-administers more than a prescribed dose of the medication and dies as a result." The same protection would apply to anyone else present at the time of death.

Pots, traps or 'creels' include a variety of designs that take the form of cages or baskets with one or more openings or entrances, with or without bait. They are usually set on the seabed, either singly or in rows, and are connected by ropes (buoy lines) to buoys on the surface to show their position. Animals enter through a one-way opening and then can't escape. Read more.
Read more.
Longlines consist of short lines (called snoods) carrying baited hooks, attached at regular intervals to a longer main line that is suspended horizontally with the help of surface floats. Main lines can be over 150 km long and can carry several thousand hooks. Read more.
Longlines consist of short lines (called snoods) carrying hooks, attached at regular intervals to a longer main line that is laid on, or close to, the seabed. Main lines are up to 150 km long and can carry several thousand hooks.Read more.
Pelagic gillnets or 'set nets' are fine-filament nets that are kept at or below the surface by numerous floats and weights and held in position by anchors. If a fish's head goes through the net but its body can't follow, it is 'gilled' or entangled in the netting when it tries to get out. Gillnets are used either alone or in large numbers placed in a row. Read more.
Bottom gillnets or 'set nets' are fine-filament nets, the lower edge of which touch the seabed, and are held in place by numerous floats, weights and anchors. If a fish's head goes through the net but its body can't follow, it is 'gilled' or entangled in the netting when it tries to get out. Read more.
Fish are encircled by a large 'wall' of net, which is then brought together to retain the fish by using a line at the bottom that enables the net to be closed like a purse. Read more.
The front net sections are often made of very large meshes or ropes, which herd the fish towards the back of the funnel-shaped net. Pelagic trawls may be towed by one or two (pair trawl) boats. Read more.
These fishing nets are similar to a small trawl net, with a conical net bag and two relatively long wings. Two long heavy ropes, one attached to each wing, are used to encircle a large area of the seabed to herd the fish into the net and then to haul the net in. Read more.
This is a type of bottom trawl that has two rectangular 'doors' or 'otterboards' to keep the mouth of the funnel-shaped net open horizontally while the net is being towed. A vertical opening is maintained by weights on the bottom and floats on the top. Read more.
This is a type of bottom trawl in which the horizontal opening of the net is provided by a heavy beam mounted at each end on guides or skids that travel along the seabed. On sandy or muddy bottoms, a series of 'tickler' chains are strung between the skids ahead of the net to stir up the fish from the seabed and chase them into the net. Read more.
Similar to a beam trawl, a dredge consists of a rugged triangular steel frame and tooth-bearing bar, behind which a mat of linked steel rings is secured. A heavy netting cover joins the sides and back of this mat to form a bag in which the catch is retained. Read more.
