WASHINGTON — Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald should investigate Vice President Dick Cheney and others in the CIA leak probe if they authorized an aide to give secret information to reporters, Democratic and Republican senators said Sunday.

Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., called the leak of intelligence information "inappropriate" if it is true that unnamed "superiors" instructed Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, to divulge the material on Iraq.
Sen. George Allen, R-Va., said a full investigation is necessary.
"I don't think anybody should be releasing classified information, period, whether in the Congress, executive branch or some underling in some bureaucracy," said Allen, who appeared with Reed on "Fox News Sunday."
According to court documents disclosed last week, Libby told a federal grand jury that he disclosed in July 2003 the contents of a classified National Intelligence Estimate as part of the Bush administration's defense of intelligence used to justify invading Iraq.
Fitzgerald said in the documents it was his understanding that "Mr. Libby testified that he was authorized to disclose information about the NIE to the press by his superiors."
The White House has refused to comment on the case.
"I think this calls into question in terms of Fitzgerald's investigation of the conduct of the vice president and others," Reed said. "I think he has to look closely at their behavior."
Allen expressed confidence in Fitzgerald, whom he called "a very articulate, professional prosecutor."
"And I think the facts will lead wherever they lead, and I think he will prosecute as appropriate," Allen said.
Libby, 55, was indicted on charges that he lied to FBI agents and the grand jury about how he learned CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity and when he told reporters. He is not charged with leaking classified information.

Today's post is part two of a transcript from my recent interview on the Voice America Business Channel show 'Story Powered' hosted by Lianne Picot. The topic of the program was communicating strategy with story, and the anti-stories that can affect changes that you're trying to make in your business.
Lianne's show is called 'Story Powered™' which is a platform for talking about all things story. Every week, Lianne chats with experts from around the world and asks them to share their expertise and experience in story powered leadership, employee engagement and business development.
Part 1 of this series introduced the podcast and allowed me to tell you a little of my own personal story about how I got started in the storytelling field.
In this post we delve a little deeper into 'story' and the art of business storytelling, story listening and what we call story triggering.
One of the things that you and I talked about in a previous conversation when we were planning the show was you and Shawn didn't like using the word story at first, is that right?
We didn't like the term 'storytelling'. We started with what we called 'story listening' which is about using narrative as a form of organisational inquiry, so helping find out what's really going on, helping to make sense of the world. We didn't like the term storytelling because of the possibility that it can used for bad purposes. But the pull from our clients was too strong so we very quickly changed that view and started focusing on all three aspects of story work; so, storytelling, story listening and what we call story triggering. Which is really that your behaviour causes people to tell stories about you. Some of them are good, some of them aren't.
Right, okay, that's great. It's interesting because you and I talked to Karen Dietz last week, and then I've talked with Annette Simmons, and lots of folks in the story world. We're all kind of not that comfortable with the word storytelling. I think maybe we need to get together and come up with a different term. Because like you say, storytelling is an aspect but it's not the whole thing.
Yeah, so I guess another thing when we're coaching people, particularly when we're working with leaders, during our storytelling for leaders programs, we encourage them not to use the word 'story'.
… tell us why, why that is.
If you think about your childhood, how did stories begin?
It's always once upon a time, right?
Correct. And is 'once upon a time' going to be a true story or is it going to be fiction?
Of course, it's going to be fiction, because it's always happily ever after.
Yeah, exactly. I guess one of the things is that if you stand up and as a leader and say, "Folks, I want to tell you a story," you potentially trigger this coding; this association of story with fiction. I believe that's the last thing you want people to be thinking; because you don't want somebody to be thinking, "Wow is this going to be true or is this going to be made up?" There are many ways to introduce a story without ever saying, "Let me tell you a story." In fact, even worse is to say, "Let me tell you a good story".
Yeah, or even, "Let me tell you a true story," maybe.
Oh, well, that's exactly it!
Implying, everything else I'm going to tell you is not true.
We do everything we can to avoid setting up a comparison of a story on the one hand, truth on the other. We don't encourage leaders to use fiction in any way, shape, or form. We try not to set up that contrast.
Absolutely and that makes a lot of sense. In terms of your work with companies…what kind of work do you do? What does your work involve when you go into a company; what do you help them do?
There's a number of things. Firstly, we help improve leaders' ability to communicate, their ability to influence, to engage, to inspire. In fact, it's really much simpler than that; we help them be understood. We help them be remembered and we help them have impact to cut through that huge amount of information overload that people are experiencing; so, how do you get your message heard? That's one aspect and the other aspect is we work with organisations to convert their strategy into strategic stories. Then we work with leaders to help them find and tell their version of the story and how they embed that in the organisation.
Nice, oh, cool. That sounds so easy. And, you bring humanity to our work places. It's funny, even though we're laughing about it; it's the thing that's needed most, right? I hear executives all the time and they're struggling, and we have these really significant employee disengagement rates. That's a great process, but how do you think stories bring humanity?
If we contrast story with the normal organisational communication which tends to be very non-specific, very abstract, very difficult for people to picture. People become objects rather than subjects; stories return them to being subjects. We heard a lovely example of this recently.
A leader stood up in front of a heavily unionised workforce and there was a lot of anger in the room. He stood up to explain a particular issue and he started by asking people, "You can ask me any questions, the only requirement I have is that you must address me by name. You have to ask me a question saying, 'Excuse me Gary, so you have to use my name, Gary." He started talking and someone in the back goes … He started being quite aggressive. "How dare you do this, you never to listen to us!" Etc., etc.!" Gary said, "No, no, no, please stop. Could you start that again, this time saying, "Gary, I have a question." The gentleman who had been quite aggressive said, "Ah, excuse me, Gary," and he asked his question in a very calm, collected way. It moved, by using his name, Gary had moved from being an object, which we could pretty much justify any behaviour towards, to a real person.
That's what that tiny little example is what needs to happen a thousand fold more in our organisations.
I love that example, because it's actually when you're a worker you just see the other, the 'us and them', the management; you're the management and it does depersonalise. Similar to, and especially, in a unionised environment often it's kind of, "They." I love that example, that's a really great example.
We've talked about what story telling is, or why story helps us become more human when we become the subject.
In Part 3 we're going to really get into talking about a new strategy, or communicating a new way of doing business, which is one of the most important and most challenging things a business can do.

It`s that time of year again! The Cherry Blossom Festival is in full swing now. Full of dancing, food, and other entertainment, it is the highlight of any Spring D.C. tourist`s visit.
I am so lucky, to live in D.C. To be able to walk around campus,or down the street, and see the treasured cherry blossoms. I`m just so very privileged! If you get a chance, try to visit Japan or D.C. when the cherry blossoms are blooming. It is a gorgeous sight!
The Japanese have festivals and picnics to celebrate the blooming of these gorgeous trees. There is a festival around me as well! The Cherry Blossom Festival attracts thousands of visitors each year to bask in the blooms and enjoy the Japanese embassy and other groups join together to create this rather humongous event. It is always fun for the tourists, though some locals tend to dread it. (Mainly because we already have the worst traffic congestion and accidents in the country without any extra gawkers to plug up the flailing system!)

What are your cherry blossom photos and experiences? Tell me all about it, I really want to know!

Fisker Automotive, the creators of the forward thinking Karma range extended hybrid, have finally been purchased. According to a report from Automotive News, Chinese company Wanxiang placed the winning bid for the American company. The final price was $149.2 million.
There is still one legal loophole to jump through before the sale is final. US Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross needs to approve. He has scheduled a hearing for tomorrow, so we will know soon.
The auction for the car maker is part of an ongoing bankruptcy struggle that began a few months ago when Fisker was unable to repay its DOE loan it received a few years ago.
The combination of Fikser and Wanxiang makes sense, as the Chinese company owns a battery producer that would allow Karma production to resume with decreased cost.
Keep it locked here on Autotalk.com for the official news on if Fisker is sold or not.

Introduction Lightweight Premium WordPress Theme
PremiumCoding is a team of theme developers who provide their particular theme club full of more than two dozen WordPress topics in a variety of different categories. They offer a combination of free and premium themes in addition to a wide range of different ways to cover premium themes.
We are going to have a look at the organization's theme collection in this review in addition to examine their overall pricing scheme. Let's begin.
PremiumCoding Overview
PremiumCoding was founded in 2010 because of two-man functioning designing, construction and uploading topics to ThemeForest on the Envato Market. They started their own theme club 2015 and have not looked back since. These days, the business has over 25 WordPress themes, eight team members and over 28,500 clients.
PremiumCoding Themes
PremiumCoding has over 25 WordPress themes in stock, as stated before. These topics can be found in six market classes and one additional category for free topics. Here are the market classes they offer:
Blog Themes
Business Topics
Multipurpose Themes
Ecommerce Themes
Personal Themes
Portfolio Themes
Blog Themes
PremiumCoding focuses heavily on blog topics. All their themes have blogging capabilities, and they even offer a dozen topics designed specifically for professional and personal blogs. Let's look at some.
"Click here to sign up to PremiumCoding.com"
Camila is a superior blogging motif constructed for creatives, but it may be used as a magazine motif for content-heavy websites. It employs a minimalist design that really places the focus on your content, especially your images. It's a great alternative for bloggers who want to showcase their own images, such as traveling, beauty, lifestyle and fashion bloggers.
Freyja is a superior blogging motif intended for writers or publication lovers, particularly those who prefer the fantasy genre. It utilizes a Nordic design both in the colour scheme it uses in addition to the typography featured throughout its design. It includes four homepage and blog page designs and uses Google Fonts if you would like to switch from the fonts it uses. Lightweight Premium WordPress Theme
Hayes is a premium blogging motif intended for photographers and travel bloggers. It comes with multiple homepage variants and even allows you to create your own designs through the use of blocks.
Free WordPress Themes
PremiumCoding offers several complimentary WordPress topics, which act as"lite" versions to get a few of its premium topics. These are stripped-down variations of the premium themes, but they nevertheless offer quite a lot of features. They are more or less designed to provide you with a taste of the individual premium topics.
That is Everly Lite, the free version of the premium blogging theme Everly. It will still allow you to build a full site capable of showcasing your newest posts if you're a blogger and graphics if you're a photographer. It only excludes the ability to utilize the Revolution Slider and change colors.
"Click here to sign up to PremiumCoding.com"
PremiumCoding concentrates on blogging themes, but it will offer extra theme categories too. These include, as stated earlier, portfolio topics, e-commerce topics, and business topics. It offers a great selection of portfolio topics and a couple of small business themes so far as amounts go, but its e-commerce theme set is a tiny light.
That is LandScape. It's technically a portfolio motif for most photographers, but it's enough homepage demos and flexibility to be utilized as a different blogging motif. It uses a minimalist design which truly makes your image stand out. Some homepage layouts even use a large header image, as you can see in the screenshot above.
Presenter is a business theme for entrepreneurs. It uses a homepage which comes with a massive header finish with a call to action and an email opt-in form. You can also utilize calls to action throughout the page in addition to display client testimonials, your latest blog posts and a slider comprising logos of the brands that you work with/publications you have been featured in, etc..
Marketeer is a special sort of e-commerce motif. It's four-page designs, and it lets you use the power of articles promotion by incorporating separate layouts for blogs. It utilizes a clean layout overall, providing you excellent way to advertise your products.
Plans & Pricing
PremiumCoding is a theme club, therefore there are several different ways you can pay for and gain access to its own themes. Besides using a free motif, you can buy a single motif, buy a one-year membership permit or buy a lifetime membership permit.
No matter which license type you buy, the basic advantages are more or less the same. You will have access to updates and support for as long as your membership is active, and you can use the subject on an infinite number of domains. The features change based on which license type you choose with.
Buying a single-theme license only provides you with access to that specific theme. If you join the theme club, you'll have access to PremiumCoding's 27+ theme collection in addition to any additional topics the developer releases throughout your time as a participant (the developer releases a new theme every five to six months ).
As far as pricing goes, single-theme licenses are generally between $39 and $49. Prices for a year of membership typically range between $89 and $129 while a life membership can be obtained for a flat fee of $269.
Final Thoughts
PremiumCoding is a fine theme developer that provides an adequate assortment of WordPress themes and plenty of topics to choose from overall. The themes are also easy to use, whether you are a programmer or a business owner/blogger who needs to design their own site. Lightweight Premium WordPress Theme
The only drawback you will encounter as a developer looking for a new motif club to utilize as a resource for the business is the programmer's limited supply of e-commerce themes. If the majority of your customers need sites, portfolios and traditional business websites, but this programmer would make a excellent resource to your company.

Native Instruments Razor v1.3.0 incl. Keygen
This is it! Native instruments pulled out Razor v.1.3.0 and we give to you a free download. This synthesizer is as sharp as knife and can do realy sick synthesis. Get to download button now! At the vanguard of additive synthesis, RAZOR delivers character like no other. Discover cutting edge sound design with unparalleled dynamics and a precise sound identity suited to tense basses, bristling leads and shifting, sci-fi soundscapes. Created by maverick Berlin producer Errorsmith in partnership with NATIVE INSTRUMENTS, RAZOR's approach to additive synthesis is pragmatic and musical – providing detailed control without sacrificing usability. So shake off the virtual analog dust – go additive and sharpen your studio cuts with RAZOR.
In additive synthesis, the sound is constructed from partials – single sine waves firing in parallel, changing amplitude and even frequency over time. The resulting sound remains clear and precise at all times, even when heavily modulated. RAZOR's additive engine consists of up to 320 partials. Everything you hear – the filters, the stereo imaging, even the reverbs and delays are created by manipulating these individual sine waves. This gives RAZOR an up-front, high-resolution sound, unmistakably different to other software synthesizers. The Library contains over 350 carefully designed and instantly usable presets.
Apart from outstanding sound quality, the level of control in additive synthesis provides a host of new possibilities for shaping sound. Here are some examples of what's possible in RAZOR:
- Creative filters – variable slopes and boosts
- Dissonance – from modulating single partials to compressing the whole sound
- Reverb per-partial – the reverb tail follows pitch
- Partial panning – pan parts of the frequency spectrum separately
- Complex formants – as filters and oscillators
- Echo steps – create evolving echoes
- Vocoder – an exceptional 34-band vocoder
RAZOR's interface draws on familiar concepts from more 'traditional' synthesizers. You'll recognize the oscillators, filter section, and many other parameters, but the options are new – the formant or the waterbed settings, for example. This combination of new and familiar makes creating sounds surprisingly simple. RAZOR has been designed for musicians, not scientists. The entire interface is compact and focused, with a straightforward internal modulation framework and a large graphical display. When you're creating sounds, this display provides extremely helpful visual feedback. And some beautiful 3D graphics.
This is what have to say somebig star producers:
"Razor really stands out for me – the phat sound is very unique and 'outside-the-box'."
Boys Noize
"Razor is my favorite virtual synth ever. It's never been this much fun to modulate a sound on the computer."
"Razor is something like a stealth bomber among software synths… Small and inconspicuous, but ridiculously mean when it spits out sounds…"

Working on PC too! thanks
thanks for download it really works dank u well!
Tested on OS X 10.5.8 – 10.6.8 and 10.7.3 —-OK.
All i did was extract the .rar files and i extracted the setup.exe with The Unarchiver from the app store (free). I put all the contents that it extracted into my Documents>Native Instruments>Reaktor 5>Library>Instruments>Razor(create the razor folder yourself).Copy over the contents that you extracted from the Setup.exe file into this folder.
Loaded up Reaktor 5, clicked on "User" which is next to "Factory" which is the browser on the left that you automatically start in when you load up Reaktor. Navigate to Instruments>Razor and the Razor.rkplr file is there, open it and it works, no licenses or any bs, it just works 🙂
It's not working on a mac, it's only for windows. After decompression you'll have a .exe file…

text: Bronzebacks Of The Iowa Great Lakes October 04, 2010 Few rivers or lakes in Iowa -- and perhaps the entire country -- can rival the smallmouth bass fishing found on the waters of the Iowa Great Lakes. (June 2009) By Dan Anderson Northwest Iowa guide John Grosvenor shows off a trophy smallmouth bass caught in West Lake Okoboji. Grosvenor says the smallmouth population here is on the upswing, and the average fish size is trending upward. Photo courtesy of Dan Anderson.The world-famous Berkley tackle company is based nearly at the geographic center of the Iowa Great Lakes.Professional anglers and the hosts of big-time television fishing shows frequently visit Berkley's headquarters for business reasons. Those well-traveled anglers often hit the waters of nearby West Lake Okoboji or Big Spirit Lake to experiment with Berkley tackle or simply have fun while they're in the area. Mike Hawkins, an Iowa Department of Natural Resources fisheries biologist based at Spirit Lake, says those jaded professionals often leave the area truly impressed. "I've been told some well-known professional anglers and TV personalities made return trips to fish for smallmouth bass because they were so impressed with the size and numbers of smallmouths they caught on their first visit," said Hawkins. "There aren't many lakes in the Midwest that can do better for size and numbers of smallmouths than what we've got here." If professional anglers who can fish anywhere in the United States choose to travel to northwest Iowa to fish for smallmouths, the fishing must be exceptional.All indicators agree. The current state-record smallmouth bass -- a 7-pound, 12-ounce, 22 3/4-inch trophy specimen -- came from West Okoboji, and smallmouths from West Okoboji and Big Spirit Lake figure prominently in the IDNR's annual Big Fish Awards. Hawkins has personally experienced the region's potential. While a thin, post-spawn 22-incher from West Okoboji is his longest smallmouth to date, his heaviest smallmouth was a 19 1/2-inch bronzeback he caught off Cottonwood Point on Big Spirit Lake. That fish tipped the scales at nearly 5 1/2 pounds before it went back into the lake. Hawkins' said his catch-and-release policy when fishing for smallmouths at the Iowa Great Lakes mirrors other anglers in the area. "Our creel surveys show almost 90 percent catch-and-release for legal smallmouths in this region (minimum legal size is 15 inches)," he said."That's exceptional. Our anglers have really bought into the concept, and I believe that the high catch-and-release rate is one reason we have such a strong population of legal- and larger-size fish."WEST LAKE OKOBOJIJohn Grosvenor is a professional fishing guide (712-330-5815, www.fishokoboji.com) on West Lake Okoboji and is very familiar with the lake's smallmouth potential. "We catch a lot of smallmouths up to 19 1/2 inches," he said. "I'm not surprised by 20-inchers anymore, and last year I had clients put three smallmouths bigger than 21 inches in the boat."Grosvenor focuses on rocks when searching for smallmouths in West Okoboji. He acknowledged that Pillsbury Point, Fort Dodge Point, Gull Point and other major rocky points are prime spots for smallmouths, but he said, "Everybody else knows that, too. They are great places to fish, but between the fishing pressure and all the recreational boat traffic zooming around those areas, I prefer to fish other places." Many of those less-known smallmouth hotspots are found on Fishing Hotspots maps. "Look in the big bays for the areas marked with an 'R' for 'rockpiles,' " said Grosvenor. "There are rockpiles scattered around Miller's Bay, in Emerson Bay and in places where fewer people fish, and there's less recreational boat traffic. If you can find rocks in West Okoboji, you'll probably find smallmouths."At the north end of the lake, Grosvenor often finds smallmouths associated with a rocky bar that runs nearly north-south in the middle of the bay."That rock bar gets clumps of weeds growing on it during the summer, and that makes it doubly good for smallmouths," he said. "Rocks for the smallmouths, weeds for the baitfish the smallmouths feed on -- it's a great spot."A rocky shoreline on West Okoboji's southeast shoreline, from Pillsbury Point to Lime Kiln Point, is another prime area for smallmouths."That shoreline is rocky from the waterline all the way out to 25 feet deep," said Grosvenor. "They tend to be bigger rocks, bigger than cobblestones, with patches of weeds scattered here and there. It's a great area for smallmouths."While long, rocky shorelines suggest trolling with crankbaits, Grosvenor prefers a more targeted approach for smallmouths. "I'm a slip-bobber guy," he said. "I put a leech or chub or spot-tailed shiner under a slip-bobber, with the bobber set to keep the bait about 2 feet above the structure I'm fishing. If I'm working a weedbed associated with rocks, I'll keep it two feet above the top of the weeds. If you put the leech right on the top of the weeds, it makes the leech hard to see from 10 or 15 feet away. Okoboji is so clear that the smallmouths feed mostly by sight, so keeping the bait out of the weeds and up where they can see it really helps."Grosvenor uses chubs or minnows from spring through mid-June, and then switches to leeches for warm weather. He hooks his leech through the skin in the middle of its back rather than through the end of the body."That lets the leech lay out flat in the water, really natural," he said. "Plus I'm using big leeches, so hooking them in the middle improves my chance of getting the fish if it only takes half the leech."Drop-shot rigs and tube jigs are also part of Grosvenor's arsenal. "Berkley's 5-inch Gulp! Alive leeches are absolutely awesome on a drop-shot rig," he said. "Tube jigs can be great when you're casting to a shallow point or shoreline. Another thing that can be good with tube jigs is a dock. If there are some docks close to rocks, maybe with some nearby weeds, there's probably going to be smallmouths in the area, and tube jigs are a great way to find them."One area where Grosvenor won't fish for smallmouths in West Okoboji is in rocky areas deeper than 20 feet. Improved water clarity in recent years has encouraged weed growth to develop to depths of 30 feet in some areas. Even though smallmouths associate with those deep weedbeds, Grosvenor leaves them alone."I'm convinced that you can't pull a fish up from more than25 feet and get it to live after you release it," he said. "Studies have shown that even if you 'fizz it' (or use a special hypodermic needle to puncture a fish's swim bladder, which over-inflates when fish are rapidly pulled from deep water), most of the fish die in the next day or so. So, I don't fish in more than 20 feet of water. With all the smallmouths we have in 20 feet or less of water on West Okoboji, there's no need to fish any deeper." BIG SPIRIT LAKERemember that one of fisheries biologist Mike Hawkins' largest smallmouths came from Big Spirit Lake. When we asked Willie Wackerbarth, a local fishing legend, about the smallmouth potential in Iowa's largest natural lake, he was silent for a long moment."I do OK," he eventually admitted, then chuckled. "I've already got enough guys following my boat around. I'm almost afraid to admit how good we do for smallmouths sometimes. I'm mostly a walleye guy, and only fish for smallmouths early, before the walleyes get going, but we handle a lot of smallmouths."Wackerbarth is 100-percent catch-and-release for Big Spirit's smallmouths. "I feed 'em, exercise 'em, then put 'em back," he said.His tactics and techniques are simple, low-tech and effective. He uses a 6-foot, medium-heavy-action spinning outfit spooled with 6-pound-test monofilament to work dark-colored hair jigs tipped with minnows over Big Spirit's rocky points, reefs and rockpiles.He likes the medium-heavy action to help him detect slow bites when the water is cold or smallmouths are sluggish after a cold front."Sometimes, especially early in the year, their bites are like you've snagged a wet sock," he said. "More of a resistance or weight than an actual hit. You've got to be ready to set the hook anytime anything feels different."Wackerbarth targets smallmouths from ice-out through mid-June, and has found black hair jigs to be the most productive color."I have no idea why black is so good early in the year," he said. "I just know that's the best color."His other secret to smallmouth success is to "never swim the minnow. With walleyes, you want to keep a steady retrieve so your jig and minnow swims just off the bottom. With smallmouths, you never want to use a steady retrieve."Have you ever watched a crawdad move over a rocky bottom? They dart and hop from spot to spot. That's the retrieve you want to use for smallmouths. You'll get hung up in the rocks a lot, but you've got to make that jig and minnow skip and hop over the bottom, never a steady retrieve."The eastern and northern sides of Big Spirit are Wackerbarth's favorite stalking grounds for smallmouths. Big Stony Point, Little Stony Point, the rock reefs off Reed's Run and other well-known rocky features all harbor smallmouth bass. The lake's western shore has fewer rocky features, the most notable being a rocky area associated with the Little Spirit Lake area. That doesn't mean there aren't smallmouths all up and down that long western shoreline, however."I've noticed that where there aren't any real rocks, smallmouths will associate with gravel, or even sand-topped humps," Wackerbarth said."And I've noticed that when smallmouths are up on those gravel humps, they're really aggressive. If I catch one off the top of a gravel hump, I almost fasten my seatbelt, because I can just about guarantee there are going to be more, and they're going to be in a real aggressive mood."Asked if there were less-known rockpiles and rocky features, Wackerbarth hesitated, and then acknowledged, "There are some small spots a lot of guys don't know about that can be pretty good. All I'll say is, if you can find a small rockpile or bar that nobody else knows about, you're gonna catch smallmouths."Wackerbarth offered a couple of suggestions to help anglers take advantage of Big Spirit's abundant smallmouth population."Smallmouths are always around rocks," he said, "but you'll catch more smallmouths if you pay attention to where the baitfish are on those rocks. No use casting to any rocks where there aren't any baitfish, because there won't be any smallmouths."The other thing is, smallmouths are spooky. I've seen schools of 20 or more smallmouths at Big Spirit, and they'll be gone in a second if you splash an anchor or make a bunch of noise."I figure once I catch three, four, maybe five smallmouths out of a spot, that's it for that spot because the rest of them will have spooked. I don't waste time working the same spot after they quit biting. It's not because they turned off; it's because they're gone."Now retired, Wackerbarth spent decades working as a fisheries technician for the IDNR on the Iowa Great Lakes.He said that smallmouth fishing is currently the best he's ever seen."I'm seeing more smallmouths, and bigger smallmouths, than I've ever seen up here," he said. "I had one day when I caught four smallmouths over 20 inches . . . as fast as I could unhook and cast back out."Wackerbarth's final smallmouth tip for Big Spirit Lake is to watch the wind: "That lake is only 25 feet deep at its deepest, so it doesn't take much wind to make it rough. I've noticed that on those rare days when there's no wind and the lake is calm, the smallmouths really go on a bite. If I get to the lake and see it glassy smooth, I just about can't get my boat in the water fast enough, because those are the days when you're absolutely gonna clobber the smallmouths." Get Your Fish On. Plan your next fishing and boating adventure here.

Four managed services experts will share their insights at the Channel Transitions VAR/MSP Executive Conference, powered by Business Solutions, on November 5 at the DoubleTree Orlando Airport. These experts are eager to help their fellow VARs, MSPs, and ISVs learn more about transitioning to the as-a-Service business model.
The morning session will be highlighted by a keynote address from David Wilkeson, a former solutions provider owner, COO, and CIO who is now a consultant for MSPs. He has 25+ years of experience building profitable technology services companies, the latest being an 85-employee managed services and cloud company.
"David gave one of the best analogies I've heard about recurring revenue when he spoke at our October 2014 Channel Transitions conference in Chicago," said Jim Roddy, president of Business Solutions. "He said, 'Do you want to slaughter the cow or do you want to milk the cow? If you slaughter the cow every month, you have to try to find a cow to replace it.' I'm delighted that solutions providers have the opportunity to hear David speak in Orlando."
More about Wilkeson's advice at the 2014 Channel Transitions conference can be found online:
The afternoon session will be highlighted by panel of VARs-turned-MSPs:
The education at Channel Transitions will address real-world issues such as cash flow, funding the as-a-Service transition, hiring and training sales reps, compensation models, pricing and bundling services, marketing, automation tools and choosing partners, service level agreements, and overcoming objections. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions to the conference and network with these speakers and other solutions providers.
The panels and Q&A sessions will be moderated by Business Solutions magazine editor-in-chief Mike Monocello, a former IT reseller who has 14 years of channel experience interacting with hundreds of VARs, MSPs, and ISVs, and Business Solutions president Jim Roddy who has 17 years of channel experience.
There will also be product breakout sessions in the afternoon, along with a networking lunch with product demos, and a networking reception.
For more information on the Channel Transitions VAR/MSP Executive Conference, visit www.ChannelTransitions.com or email email@example.com.
Active VARs, MSPs, and ISVs can redeem a complimentary registration online by using the promo code BSM01.
Channel Transitions is sponsored by MAXfocus, Worldpay, Mercury, GreatAmerica, Moneris, SYNNEX, and Webroot along with industry association partners CompTIA, The ASCII Group, and the Retail Solutions Providers Association (RSPA).
Business Solutions is the channel leader in educating VARs, MSPs, and ISVs on the transition to the as-a-Service business model and establishing a recurring revenue stream. Business Solutions has published several feature stories, case studies, opinion columns, and special guides on this important topic. BSM subscribers said they wanted even more information — including the opportunity to network with other channel partners who are focused on this transition and services-oriented vendors. From that, the Channel Transitions VAR/MSP Executive Conferences were born.

A distinctly different style in Ghibli's latest effort makes it immediately intriguing and visually arresting…
Who knows what's going on over in Ghibli land… are they closing their doors, are they open but with Miyazaki retiring, is he in fact going to do another film… it's getting somewhat hard to follow. What I do know is that the new English language trailer for their upcoming movie has caught my interest.
The English language version will be headed by a cast that, amongst others, includes: Chloë Grace Moretz, James Caan, Mary Steenburgen, Lucy Liu and James Marsden. It'll tell the tale of an old man who makes his living by cutting bamboo. One day he finds a tiny princess in a bamboo shoot and takes her home. We will then see her grow up and be ensnared in the trials of being made into a princess and of finding a suitor. Due to it being based on the folk story The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter and it therefore being strongly rooted in Japanese tradition, as well as an issue involving nudity, there is a worry that it won't find a UK release and that if it does it may receive editing. This seems unlikely given what happened with Mononoke… but who knows what's going to happen yet.
The Tale of Princess Kaguya will be released in the US on the 17th of October. As of yet a UK theatrical release is unconfirmed. Here is the latest trailer:
There's also this Japanese trailer which shows an awful lot more of the film and its visual style. I've read that it doesn't spoil the film, but across its six minute runtime it does seem to show a lot of plot… so it's up to you to judge that one. Anyway, it's here if you're interested:

A man in his 60s suffered third-degree burns and is now semiconscious after the car he was in caught fire outside the parliament building on the morning of Feb. 1. Fire authorities believe he set his car on fire.
An aide to Rep. So Byung-hoon of the Democratic Party, surnamed Lee, posted a photo on Instagram of the man lying on the ground next to his burned vehicle. Replying to other people's comments, he wrote, "Barbecued."
He also wrote "#jwibulnori," a traditional Korean pest-control practice that involves setting fires in rice paddies.
The self-immolator had some 200 sheets of paper in his vehicle with messages written on them. The messages included: "The parliament is like the heart of the country, and it is causing arteriosclerosis."
Lee wrote on Instagram: "The patriot said the parliament was the heart of the country, and he set fire to the heart. Happy New Year."
The aide also wrote: "Ideologies or religions can be so scary, folks. These people don't know the value of life."
Upon becoming the target of criticism on Instagram, Lee made his Instagram account private and offered to resign from his post.
Before setting his car on fire, the man had distributed dozens of flyers with messages such as "Lawmakers' privileges should be abolished" and "The parliament must be set right so the Republic of Korea can be born anew."
Lee had served as a policy adviser on a committee on balanced development in 2017 at President Moon Jae-in's election camp.

text: I've always found butterflies to be such amazing creatures, how they transform from small measley little hungry catepillers and transform into these beautiful critters. Their transformation reminds me of how sometimes just like the caterpiller, we crawl through life just going through the motions and not really knowing what we are going towards. Then at some point we go through a dark period in our life where we retreat and start to change into the person that we are suppose to be. The last stage is when we are fully transformed into a butterfly, the stage where we have gone through our heartaches, pains, trials and tribulations and have come out victorious. It's really amazing how when you correlate the other beings in nature to our lives, how much you could learn about yourself and the world around you. Just a thought.

Count it as a win for the Vikings and their two big men on the D-line – Kevin and Pat Williams. Earlier this evening, a Minnesota judge blocked the NFL's suspension of both players for violating the league's anti-doping policy.
Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson issued a temporary restraining order at the players' request on Wednesday, saying he wanted more time to hear arguments in the case. No further hearing date immediately was set.
Pat and Kevin Williams were suspended along with four other players for four games on Tuesday for testing positive for a diuretic that can be used as a masking agent for steroids. They have argued that the substance containing the diuretic didn't list all its ingredients.

Since 2006 our family have been making award-winning Cider with 100% juice from Real fruit. Being sugar and gluten free it's also suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans. Tutts Clump Cider is a family business that was set up in 2006 by Tim Wale. Tim (who is an Agricultural/Motor Engineer by trade) was born in the hamlet of Tutts Clump in West Berkshire and still lives there. Tim is assisted by his wife and five daughters. Cider making started as a hobby with production of some 25 litres. By 2013 we were using around 90 tonnes of home counties grown apples and crafting some 60,000 litres of Proper Cider. The large commercial mass produced Ciders on our supermarket shelves can typically contain 70% water! They are made in factories all through the year from a concentrate rather than fresh fruit. CAMRA (the Campaign for Real Ale) has a list of Cider they do not class as 'real' on their website http://www.camra.org.uk/cider-not-recognised-as-being-real The most common reasons they do not consider Cider or Perry to be REAL (even if made from 100% juice) is that its filtered pasteurised carbonated or concentrate juice has been used. Tutts Clump Cider will never appear on this list! Our cider making process is also sustainable. Part of our process will always include collecting unwanted apples locally, with any waste or unsuitable fruit and pomace given to local farmers to feed their pigs.

Once again I am typing in my nylon fortress, lying on my stomach with my upper body propped up on my elbows, putting a much-needed bend in my back that is opposite from the one I have all day while cycling. Regular traffic is rushing by on the main road, which is about 250m away, hidden by the foliage of the apple tree orchard in which I have made my home. My knees and Achilles tendons are hurting and I am putting it down to the fact that my bike is nearly the most heavily laden it's been. Why? Because in addition to the food that I bought for myself to cover a couple of days, I am carrying a couple of days' worth of food that was given my by the lovely family I've staying with – all home-cooked packages: vegetable rissoles, dolmada-like parcels, bread, rice, vegetable curries, sweet rice pudding, baklava, almonds… And on top of this I am carrying a couple of books gifted to me, including the holy Quran, and a book about Tabriz….and two scarves. And of course I was gifted a couple of goodies by people on the road too, including an apple and bag of raisins. Despite the load, the riding felt easy enough, taking me on a relatively flat route north and west to the top of Lake Urmia. The sky was clear and the sun was warm, but the air was cool, making or a perfect day for cycling. It's really starting to get cold right now though. I am snug in my thermals but really need to get my feet inside my sleeping bag. As I ate dinner I checked my messages and was surprised to read a message from Mohammad Mahdi, who felt the need to apologise for the way I was treated, being 'made' to sleep on a mattress on the floor and being hammered with questions every moment. If only they truly knew how incredibly amazing it was to have spent such time with them. I did my best to assure him that he and his family couldn't have been more loving and generous!

The inscription is made on the diamond's girdle and is visible under 10x magnification. The laser inscription does not damage the diamond, or change its grading in any way. Laser inscription is the safest and best way to identify your diamond.
Some frequently asked questions:
Can laser inscription damage my diamond?
No. GJL uses excimer "Cold Laser" Technology. There is no risk of cracks or fracture whatever.
Will laser inscription influence the clarity of my diamond?
No. The inscriptions are very discreet, rather shallow, with no excess carbonization. They are visible but not obtrusive even with a loupe.
Can you laser inscribe all shapes and sizes?
Yes. The shape or cut is not an issue at all. The size of the stone does not pose any problems either, as the size and spacing of the inscription can easily be adapted to the space available. Very, very occasionally we may advise against inscribing, for instance in case of a small stone with a really exceptionally thin girdle, because then the end-result might suffer in legibility.
Can the system inscribe intricate logos in detail?
Yes. The laser can make very thin lines, faint shadowing, bold black characters, whatever you require.
Can you inscribe other parts of the stone than the girdle?
Yes. You can have an inscription on basically any part of the diamond that presents a flat surface for writing on. It is possible to adapt the nature of the inscription to the place and intent; for example you can have an inscription on the table that is equally discreet as the ones on the girdle, but if required it is equally possible to make a 'visible with the naked eye' one. The advantages of laser inscription
Identity Laser inscription on a diamond gives it a unique identity,that way you can always recognize your diamond.

In Part 6 of the series, dwarfed by ferries and cargo ships, Larry Pynn skirts the oceanfront in a kayak from the lower Fraser River to Tsawwassen ferry terminal
Water's Edge: Like a flea among elephants at Roberts Bank
If we just left things alone, Canoe Pass wouldn't be the quiet little backwater that it is, all but forgotten next to the other three arms of the Fraser River. That's not how it works on the industrial lower Fraser.
Some 14 federal structures, including the Steveston and north arm jetties, are located in the lower Fraser to stabilize the course of the river and help maintain channel depths for navigation past communities such as Steveston. One study by GeoSea Consulting Canada Ltd. estimated that 16 per cent of the Fraser's flow goes through the north and middle arms around Sea Island, 70 per cent through the south arm, and 14 per cent through Canoe Pass.
It's fine with me that Canoe Pass is runt of the litter on the sprawling delta. On this clear, crisp morning, it emerges as a bucolic and beautiful stretch of shoreline devoid of the larger vessels so menacing to paddlers on other stretches of the lower Fraser.
I haul my kayak across the rip-rap boulders shoring up the dike and launch just downstream from the Westham Island bridge, linking Ladner to Westham Island.
Bounty of bird life
One sign on the dike tells me I am officially entering an Important Bird Area, while another says I can shoot the birds provided I keep out 150 metres. Westham Island is a regional destination with its cottage farming and George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, where hunters are allowed to line the perimeter with shotguns in season to blast the same waterfowl people pay to view.
More than 40 per cent of Metro Vancouver's oceanfront is found in Delta, yet it is among the least explored by paddlers due in large part to lack of access and challenging geography.
A bracing northwest wind ripples across the water as I paddle downstream against a flood tide and steer the kayak through a phalanx of old wood pilings — remnants of the Brunswick cannery that operated here from 1897 to 1930. The cannery later served as a fish camp, and net and boat storage, and in 1961 was acquired as part of the Roberts Bank expropriation. The buildings were demolished in 1983, more evidence of B.C.'s once-vibrant cannery past washed away.
The Coast Mountains form a thin snowy line on the northern horizon above the stubble of grass rising from the flat landscape. On the southern bank I closely follow the footprint of Brunswick Point, a marsh and popular birding area that extends out into the Strait of Georgia. I seriously think about getting out and hauling the kayak across the mud and grass when a channel suddenly opens up. It makes for easy paddling toward open water past the unmoving heads of great blue herons visible just above the vegetation.
Open, yes, but very shallow. The hull of the kayak barely skims the muddy bottom, forcing me to use my paddle like a pole to move ever so slowly out to deeper water.
I'm paddling a vast area known as The Flats off Roberts Bank. The ocean may look vast here but may be no more than two metres deep even at high tide. Roberts Bank is an 8,770-hectare provincial wildlife management area, critical habitat for fish (including juvenile salmon born in fresh water and acclimatizing to salty water), waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors and tiny invertebrates — in some cases, more than 1,000 per 10-centimetre-diameter core of mud.
Port expansion plans
Hundreds of thousands of western sandpipers migrating to their Arctic breeding grounds in spring bulk up on a thin layer of fatty microscopic algae on the mudflats. These productive conditions are not duplicated elsewhere, even as close as Boundary Bay, which puts additional scrutiny on the Port of Vancouver's $2-billion container expansion plans at Roberts Bank.
The new terminal would provide an additional 2.4 million units of container capacity per year. In 2015, the port moved the equivalent of 3.1 million 20-foot container units — about half of those at Deltaport.
Westshore Terminals handles more than 33 million tonnes of coal per year.
What researchers have discovered is that a perfect alchemy of salinity, along with nutrients from the Fraser River, low daytime tides, warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours cause the algae to bulk up on omega-3 fatty acids.
The port notes that the expansion is taking place in deeper, sub-tidal waters to limit ecological impact and that other studies indicate the "velocity of currents will not change in high intertidal areas and therefore will not affect the biofilm community."
Yet the port's consultant, Hemmera, has been out on the Roberts Bank tidal flats collecting sandpipers for study at the same time as a second group of more than a dozen researchers — Environment Canada, academics and visitors from Japan — conducts its own research. The latter's goal is to capture 50 sandpipers and 50 dunlin shorebirds in mist nets, take blood and breath samples, photograph their tongues and analyze their feces. Eight of each will be further dissected back in the lab.
To watch, say, synchronized flocks of 20,000 sandpipers forage on the biofilm next to the marshes at high tide is one of B.C.'s greatest wildlife experiences.
"That's why we're here," explains Bob Elner, an adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University and emeritus scientist with Environment Canada. "It's probably the most under-appreciated phenomenon in Canada."
I paddle 50 to 100 metres offshore of the 3.5-kilometre causeway leading to Deltaport and Westshore Terminals. Truckers watch me with curiosity, as I do the giant gantries moving containers.
By the time I paddle to the end of the causeway, I am well out into the strait, fully exposed to the growing winds, with little prospect of a safe haulout along the rip-rap shoreline.
With relief, I scurry around the port facility's northwest corner and into protected waters. Mountains of coal rise above the shoreline and the cascading sound of a coal train moving forward sounds like a 747 on takeoff.
This is one of my strangest kayak trips — a flea among elephants. Truth is, there are relatively few vessel movements compared with traffic on the lower Fraser or the Vancouver waterfront.
Local wildlife
Even here, nature abounds. In spring, dozens of male California sea lions crowd onto the ships' mooring buoys, barking and jostling for position. Up to 2,000 migrate north to B.C. waters, arriving in fall and heading south again in spring to join the ladies for the breeding season in Southern California and Mexico.
A wayward "false killer whale" — known as Willy, or Westshore Willy — made his home in local waters, including the port, from 1990 to 2003 and may have been the last remaining member of a group that wandered into B.C. waters in 1987.
I paddle under a conveyor delivering coal to the 291-metre bulk carrier Pan Iris and spot a new section, replaced after an accident involving the ship, Cape Apricot, in December 2012. The terminal was badly damaged and 30 tonnes of coal were dumped into the water.
A federal transportation safety board report determined that poor communications between the pilot and ship's master, as well as inadequate safety planning, were factors in the crash. The B.C. pilot was so devastated that he resigned, taking early retirement after 20 years' service.
I paddle my kayak, barely four metres in length, under the nose of the 292-metre container vessel, Simon LD, and continue on toward the Tsawwassen ferry terminal next door. I have checked the sailing timings for Duke Point near Nanaimo, Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island, and the Southern Gulf Islands, and casually paddle past the entrance with confidence I won't be scrunched.
The Tsawwassen terminal handled 3.7 million passengers last year, more than any in the BC Ferries system.
I pull my kayak up on the rocks next to the ticket booth and wander up to see if I can get a well-deserved hot lunch in one of the fast food outlets in a little strip mall. No such luck. The attendant tells me that Transport Canada policy forbids me from going there — even for a lousy slice of pizza — without buying a ferry ticket.
Fine. I use the washroom and grab a bag of chips from a vending machine and retreat to the shoreline to eat.
Although quiet today, the shoreline along the 1.6-kilometre causeway can be busy on warm weekends with a unique subculture of beachgoers who are content to picnic right beside a very busy roadway. Some even wade into the water to their chests with nets — like the last of the hunter-gatherers — in search of Dungeness crabs.
The waters are remarkably clear here, ironically so. I am a short paddle from major passenger ferries and ocean-going ships capable of causing major damage in our region's most ecologically important waters. Port-related expansion projects threaten to heighten those risks, both in pollution and generation of underwater noise.
One mistake, one major accident, and everything from the smallest crustaceans to the largest marine predators will pay the price.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- British supermarket group J Sainsbury SBRY, +1.85% said Thursday that, following a revised proposal by Delta Two, it has agreed that Delta Two may undertake limited due diligence on the company in order to progress its offer proposal. Delta Two has reconfirmed its 600 pence per share offer price, with shareholders also entitled to receive a 3 pence a share dividend. Delta Two will also increase the funding for its offer, by 0.85 billion pounds to 4.85 billion pounds, and has received new commitment letters from Delta Two's financing banks for debt facilities totalling 9.6 billion pounds. No decision has been made regarding any possible offer and accordingly there can be no certainty that any offer for Sainsbury's will be made, the supermarket group said. The Qatar Investment Authority ('QIA') is the ultimate parent of Delta Two.
