On A Positive Note: Goodwill Denver thanks its donors, and other good news
Space Gallery, 765 Santa Fe Drive, is known for showcasing bold, new, contemporary art by emerging and established artists from throughout the United States.
It's also a popular spot for weddings and other special events — such as the show and reception that Goodwill Industries of Denver put on for the men and women who have made significant financial contributions to Goodwill.
The artwork on display that night was created by individuals in several Goodwill programs.
The Community Employment Program for intellectually disabled adults showcased Georgia O'Keeffe flower art replicas, multicultural jewelry and holiday cards created from participants' original artwork.
The Adult Career Development Program shared vision boards that illustrated participants' dreams and plans for a successful future. In addition, there was a display of photojournalism essays by refugees enrolled in Goodwill's Career Connection Center at Place Bridge Academy.
Students from Goodwill's Youth Career Development Program exhibited clothing designed for the Goodwill Good Exchange for Change Fashion Show, poetry from students at Florence Crittenton High School for pregnant and parenting teens, and portfolios from participants attending Denver School of the Arts.
The purpose of the event was to allow Goodwill staff and participants to thank donors and showcase the good that has come from donating to Goodwill's various programs.
In 2011-2012, Goodwill helped more than 21,000 people through its career readiness and job training programs. In 2011, Goodwill also recycled or repurposed nearly 74 million pounds of goods.

Cuba's Puig has countrymen's support
Dodgers' Final Vote hopeful is latest import to capture spotlight
Every once in a while, a player from Cuba makes it to the big leagues and captures this nation's attention.
The player usually runs like a deer, has a cannon for an arm, and carries the type of star power that can send packed stadiums into a frenzy.
And you thought Oakland's Yoenis Cespedes was special.
Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig is a bona fide phenomenon, the perfect mix of talent, old-school grittiness and Latin flair. He might not just be the best Cuban import since Cespedes, he's on track to be one of greatest players to come over from the island.
"Watching him on TV, it looks like he's got a lot of good tools," Hall of Famer Tony Perez said. "He swings the bat well, he does a lot of things well, so far. I don't know what they still have back there [in Cuba], but these guys who have been coming out lately, they're showing some good things. It's good for baseball."
Cuba's ties to Major League Baseball run deep and includes historic names like Perez, Minnie Minoso, Tony Oliva and Cookie Rojas. Brothers Livan and Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez followed their big league dreams from Cuba to the United States in the 1990s, and Jose Contreras followed a few years later.
But Puig is the latest star, perhaps the biggest star, in a recent wave of talented players like Cespedes, who was recently added to the American League's Home Run Derby team, Cincinnati All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman, Miami shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, White Sox teammates Dayan Viciedo and Alexei Ramirez, Boston infielder Jose Iglesias, Texas outfielder Leonys Martin, and Seattle slugger Kendrys Morales.
"I'm not surprised at all what he's done. He's a great player," Cespedes said. "Age don't mean nothing, and everybody in Cuba knows how good he can be. He's going to do special things."
It's certain that Puig's countrymen will definitely #VotePuig.
"I think if they go by the numbers and the excellent job he has done since he's been up, he should be there," Chapman said. "He earned the right to do it the way he's been playing and the numbers he's put up. He has the numbers to be an All-Star."
Puig's numbers are mind-blowing. His impact has been immediate. Puig has multiple hits in 17 of his first 33 games and according to SABR, Puig is the second player since 1950 to maintain a batting average of .400 or better through at least his first 130 at-bats.
The other player to accomplish the feat was Oliva.
"[Puig] reminds me a little bit of Willie Mays when he was called up," Rojas said. "He has all the ability. He could run, he could throw, he can play the outfield. Power. I think eventually, he is going to be a home run hitter with a lot of RBIs. I think he's going to be great."
Puig is already off to a great start. Since making his big league debut on June 3, the right-handed hitter leads the big leagues in hits with 54 and ranks among Major League leaders in with a .409 batting average, eight home runs, a .436 on-base percentage and slugging with a .667 mark.
He's been a sparkplug for the Dodgers' offense and is a big reason the club is racing up the standings in the NL West.
"He has done a great job since he came up," Viciedo said. "I think that they should consider him to at least to be in the All-Star Game, absolutely. I'm very happy for him, especially being a young Cuban that is able to do that."
Ramirez echoed his teammate's sentiments.
"I'm happy for him. I hope they vote for him. He deserves to be there," Ramirez said. "He's worked hard. He has taken advantage of his opportunity."
Now in its 12th year, the 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote gives baseball fans around the world the opportunity to select the final player on each All-Star team. Balloting began immediately following Saturday's Major League All-Star Selection Show presented by Taco Bell and ends Thursday at 1 p.m. PT. The winners will be announced on MLB.com shortly thereafter.
There will be an extra treat for fans who participate in the Final Vote online. If you are not a current MLB.TV subscriber (MLB.TV or MLB.TV Premium), you are eligible to receive a 14-day free trial of MLB.TV from July 12-26. If you are a current MLB.TV subscriber (MLB.TV or MLB.TV Premium), you will receive a 15 percent discount to the MLB.com Shop. MLB.com will send an email Friday to all Final Vote voters with instructions on how to redeem the applicable offer.
Mobile voting in the U.S. and Canada is open to everyone. In the U.S., to receive the mobile ballot, text the word "VOTE" to 89269. To vote for Puig, simply text message N5 to 89269, and to vote for Gonzalez, text message N3. In Canada, fans should text N5 or N3 to 101010. Standard message and data rates may apply.
For the second consecutive year, the Final Vote will include a social balloting element as Twitter support from the candidates' fans over the last six hours of balloting will count toward their Final Vote totals. From 7 a.m.-1 p.m. PT on Thursday, any tweet that includes a designated player hashtag will be tabulated as part of the overall vote total used to determine the American League and National League winners. Fans may follow @MLB on the popular social networking service for the latest standings updates in advance of the 1 p.m. PT balloting deadline.
The 84th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM also will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage.
"I saw him when I was in Miami on television down there. He's demonstrating to be a powerful batter here in the United States," Morales said. "I'm really happy that one of my countrymen is coming here and doing what he's doing. I think he should be in, but that's the fan's decision."

Venue: The Tower Club, Chicago, Illinois
Charlie and I have been together for four years now — we met at a costume party on Halloween night back in 2003. Charlie was dressed as one of the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" hosts, and my friends and I were the Von Trapp family from "The Sound of Music." There was this group contest and Charlie proclaimed that if his team won, he'd take me out to dinner. He was really confident about winning. Needless to say, they lost. He still took me out, though.
We got engaged in 2005. We were in Santorini, Greece, above this beautiful cliff, and Charlie suddenly pulled out his dad's old wedding ring (his father had passed away).
It took a while to settle on a date, but finally we decided on March 31, since it was the best day for the majority of our guests. We knew we wanted a very urban setting downtown, but also something very classy. We didn't really want a hotel, though. We both love the theater and music, and so we chose a venue that would mean something special and would always be a memory for us: The Tower Club, in the top floor of the Opera House. The whole place, including the floor, is refined in really beautiful old wood, and it seemed perfect for us.
The day started out sunny and beautiful, but quickly became overcast. Luke, our Bella photographer was taking photos of us getting ready, and suddenly a downpour started. One of my favorite memories was actually being caught in the rain, and some of my favorite photos were taken in this complete and utter rainstorm. All you could do was laugh. Our bridesmaids were soaking wet, and they had to go back and have hair and makeup redone. It was a lot of fun. It cleared up by evening, and we had a beautiful night.
We wanted our ceremony to be traditional, but also wanted to bring our own flavor to it. We did not do anything religious, but we found a great officiant, who was recommended through gayweddings.com. We planted two seeds into a pot, and we still look at that plant every single day — it's completely blooming. We had a couple of our friends read poems, which were sweet and masculine at the same time.
We both walked down the aisle with our moms — that was really important, since both of our fathers had passed away. Before the ceremony itself we had registered as domestic partners, and at the ceremony we signed a commitment certificate. We had a receiving line and then a cocktail hour, followed by a reception with a beautiful cake. There was dinner, dancing and fun music. We really like to dance, and we got people totally involved, so it was a great time.
Working with Luke, our photographer, was great. We wanted our photos to represent the day, but we didn't want a lot of posed shots, since we wanted to just enjoy our day and look back on it and remember exactly what we were doing at that moment. It was such a whirlwind day, I even forgot our photographer was there for most of it. They were so unobtrusive, that they just melted into the crowd. And yet, I feel like Luke caught so many of our moments, I really can look back on it and say it's a great representation of everything I was feeling. He even took such a mundane thing as a stack of napkins and made it look like a creative, original part of the day.

GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli missiles blasted a Gaza tower block that houses many foreign journalists for a second straight day on Monday, killing two people including a militant the Islamic Jihad group said had been in charge of "media warfare" against Israel.
The attack, which medics said also wounded six other people, appeared to target a computer shop in the building and another office on its third floor.
Witnesses said it was hit by at least three missiles, which sent debris flying into the street below and set the shop ablaze.
The building also houses the offices of Britain's Sky News and Saudi-owned Al Arabiya Channel. Most journalists left the premises on Sunday following the initial strike.
Islamic Jihad issued a statement identifying one of those killed as a member named Ramaz Harab, saying he had been in charge of "media warfare" for the organization in Gaza city.
Israel's military said it had targeted a hideout used by militants involved in firing rockets at Israel, and that gunmen "were inside the building when it was targeted."
Israel accused Gaza militants of hiding among civilians, including journalists, to try and avoid attack.
"Senior Islamic Jihad terrorists hid in a media building in Gaza, using journalists working there as human shields." Ofir Gendelman, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said in a message posted on the social media site, Twitter.
Israel said its attacks on Sunday at a nearby media building were pinpoint strikes on Hamas communication devices located on the buildings' roofs.
More than 90 Palestinians have died since Israel launched an air campaign last Wednesday with the stated aim of halting militant rocket fire out of the Palestinian enclave. Three Israelis died last Thursday in a rocket hit on their home.

Pita Pillows
Another hot day in the UK today but spent the day messing about in the kitchen listening to the cricket.After making my sister some chocolate fudge brownies.
I decided that cold BBQ chicken (marinated in orange and honey) with a fresh salad was going to be my parents tea. But what about the bread? I decided that something new for me and simple was needed, so after a lot of thought I went for pita bread. I decided to do a simple plain white pita (though I already have the next version sorted out in my mind). I used very strong white flour and plain white flour hoping for some maximum rise. Nothing to worry about, the bread exploded to pillowy heights in the hot oven. They went down a treat together with the salad and chicken. Everything worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier really. They were baked directly on my tiles in the oven too. As I said, have a superior version to test (probably tomorrow), that will hopefully give a healthier and tastier pita perfect for summer salads.
The only word of warning would be that this bread gets blisteringly hot and burnt my hand on the bread, not the oven, the actual bread. Crazy. I guess experienced bakers will be aware of this, but I was unaware how hot the pita got and how it could conduct heat.Enjoy your baking Andy

Tiny houses
Inside a culture where people are scrambling to home loans, asking "How large of an house am i allowed to afford?" the idea of intentionally scaling back is somewhat radical. Some people, though, are pausing in the race, and instead are asking "How much must i really need?" They're realizing that larger homes draw excessive levels of resources, both natural and personal. Smaller homes, or micro homes, demand a lot less up keep, allowing the homeowner comfort and a calmer lifestyle.
tiny homes
How big is very large enough? Where's the road between comfort and excess? Consider this to be. Inside the 1950's the United States' average size home was less than 1000 sqft. Compare that to your current whopping 2350 sqft average! This is a 135% increase. (American girth isn't that much excellent) Most of the globe resides in homes small compared to our garages. These larger homes of ours consider their toll.
Large homes really are a drain on resources, both each of our resources of your time and your money, plus national resources. Initially, your home must be built. The greater the residence is, the greater the building cost will probably be and also the more materials are needed. Following the property is complete, it needs to be maintained. Heating and cooling uses expensive resources like electricity and natural gas. Re-roofing, re-siding and also painting become a large and difficult process inside a big house. The physical, mental, emotional and financial expenses of buying a large home never end.
Micro homes (defined for the purposes as homes less than 500 sqft) supply the solution. A reduced home is quick and inexpensive to develop with conventional materials, often meaning no mortgage is important. Because of its size, a micro home is also constructed from a more time-consuming material, for example cob or straw bale. Maintenance on the micro house is a smaller amount labor intense; re-roofing can be achieved by 1 or 2 people, instead of needing a big crew. Utility prices are cheaper. (One lady heats her micro home just $8 of propane per month!) Smaller spaces could be cooled in a short time through opening windows, whereas larger rooms don't circulate air efficiently.
With fewer expenses and much less maintenance, micro homes give you a different lifestyle. No mortgage could mean working only part-time, or starting a work from home business. A reduced space to wash means more time is available for playing with the kids, reading a popular book, or pursuing a virtually forgotten hobby. Imagine a life lived to your specifications, keeping the freedom to accomplish what you want. Everybody is doing that! From architects to single mothers, from writers to retirees, they are rediscovering an adult, simpler, quitter lifestyle... and never looking back!

Becca Torres, one of Friendly Planet Travel's reservationists, told you what she thought were the best travel apps for your smart phone back in June. The other day I saw that MSNBC.com listed their favorite "Apps that simplify travel."
They include some of the apps Becca reviewed and similar ones, such as Gate Guru. But there a few new apps that stand out from the crowd for me. They are
World Customs and Cultures, Where, and Tripwolf.
I'll be downloading them on my iPhone and will let you know how they stack up as soon as I get to put them to use. Also flip back to the article to see what other travel apps made the cut. And let me know, are there any other travel apps you use that you can't live without?

Game Day Chili - hamburger, onions, garlic, chili beans, tomato sauce, green chiles, beer, beef broth, tomato past, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, red pepper, paprika and hot sauce. Simmer on the stove or make in the slow cooker. The is THE BEST chili! It has a kick! Top with sour cream, cheese, Fritos and jalapeños.
This is the best chili I've ever made. It was fantastic. I had some concerns because it is made with a bottle of beer, but we couldn't taste it in the final product. This chili does have a kick to it. You can easily adjust the heat by reducing or eliminating the red pepper and hot sauce.
We topped the chili with some cheese, sour cream, jalapeños and Fritos. It was a real crowd pleaser! Everyone loved it. I browned the meat and mixed up the chili the night before. I let the chili simmer on the stove before the game. This recipe would also do great in the crock pot. This chili perfect for chilly weather games!

VH1 Heads Back to Rehab with Dr. Drew Pinsky for a Second Season of 'Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew'
Groundbreaking Project Returns to Help Additional Celebrities In a
Series Set To Premiere on VH1 Thursday, October 23 at 10pm*
NEW YORK, Oct. 9 -- VH1 has once again partnered with Dr.
Drew Pinsky for a second season of the hit reality series "Celebrity Rehab
with Dr. Drew." The series, consisting of eight one-hour episodes, is
slated to premiere Thursday, October 23 at 10pm.
Similar to the first cycle, the second season of "Celebrity Rehab with
Dr. Drew" will follow the real-life experiences of celebrity patients
undergoing detoxification and treatment at a center in the Los Angeles
area. The show will follow Jeff Conaway as he checks back into rehab after
a series of back surgeries, setbacks and subsequent reliance on pain
medications. Joining him in rehab are Sean Stewart (Sons of Hollywood),
Amber Smith (model/actress), Rodney King, Nikki McKibbon (American Idol),
Steven Adler (Guns n Roses) and Tawny Kitaen (Actress). Gary Busey, who is
13 years sober from his cocaine addiction, will also be joining the cast to
take the journey with the others and to share his experiences on the
recovery process.
The series will chronicle the patients' intensive 21-day program with
both group and one-on-one therapy and non-traditional therapies like art
and music. Returning to the show to help Dr. Drew are drug counselor Bob
Forrest and resident technician Shelly Sprague who have each spent years on
both sides of the rehab fence. Dr. Drew is also bringing in some additional
prominent physicians to help him give the patients supplementary one-on-one
care. The patients' families will also be more involved with their recovery
programs and, in some cases, will receive treatment themselves. After they
completed the program, the patients will be strongly encouraged to continue
their treatment in a sober living facility or treatment center for at least
three months at VH1's expense.
Dr. Drew is a highly respected practicing MD and assistant clinical
professor at KECK USC School of Medicine, who will once again give viewers
an unflinching look at exactly how the rehab process works and what it
feels like for participants. Dr. Drew hopes to use his celebrity patients
to humanize the process and show viewers that treatment is a viable way to
break the cycle of addiction.
"Over the course of the first season we were inundated with positive
feedback about the series from our viewers and those in the rehab
community. Dr Drew is a powerful, positive force for those seeking recovery
and I am quite simply amazed not only by the quality of his medical care,
but for how much Drew and his team truly care about the people they are
treating," said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming
and Production, VH1. "This series is a deeply transformative emotional
experience in front of the cameras and behind the scenes for everyone
involved and I believe it resonates with the viewers because the stakes are
so high and the journey is so very human."
While most people know Dr. Drew as the host of the syndicated radio
show Loveline and the MTV show of the same name, Dr. Drew is a medical
doctor on staff at Huntington Hospital, a board certified addictionologist
and service director of the Chemical Dependency Program/Residential
Treatment Center, where he has been treating addicts for over 20 years.
Although he is an associate professor of clinical psychiatry at the KECK
USC School of Medicine, he is not a psychologist or psychiatrist. His book,
Cracked: Putting Broken Lives Together Again (Harper-Collins,) is all about
what treating addicts is like from a caretaker's perspective. Dr. Drew
co-authored the first academic study on celebrities and narcissism. The
study was published in the Journal of Research in Personality (Elsevier) in
September 2006, and is the first systematic, empirical scholarly study of
celebrity personality. Dr. Drew can also be heard during the day Monday
thru Friday on the nationally syndicated radio show "Dr. Drew Live."
As it did in the first season, VH1 will present on-air PSA's about
addiction and the possibilities of recovery as well as online resources for
those in need of assistance.
Additionally, VH1.com will launch a sneak peek of the first episode on
October 17 before the on-air premiere. Subsequent episodes will be
available on VH1.com following their on-air premiere.
"Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" is executive produced by John Irwin and
Damian Sullivan for Irwin Entertainment. Dr. Drew Pinsky and Howard Lapides
are also executive producing. Jeff Olde, Jill Holmes, and Noah Pollack are
executive producers for VH1.
VH1 connects viewers to the music, artists and pop culture that matter
to them most with TV series, specials, live events, exclusive online
content and public affairs initiatives. VH1 is available in 95 million
households in the U.S. VH1 also has an array of digital channels and
services including VH1Classic, VH1 Soul, VH1 Mobile, VH1Games and extensive
broadband video on VH1.com. Connect with VH1 at VH1.com.

WELCOME to the Wednesday blog – each week filled by Angler's Mail magazine's HQ, focusing on happenings in the wonderful world of fishing, including latest tackle. This week's Angler's Mail HQ blog is by features editor Richard Howard.
We hope you enjoy the blog, and share it with friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking icons above, or simply by telling people! Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page.
DID you know realise that in these tough economic times that there's an angling product out there, admittedly in a few different formats, from one retailer, that's sold upwards of 15000 units in the last couple of years. Yet I bet a high proportion never get wet!
They're advertised regularly in Angler's Mail, have clearly proved a hit as they've been flying out to punters countrywide, yet I know I very rarely see them on the bank.
Enter the Used Tackle centrepins (www.dragoncarpdirect.com)…
Now in their second year I've heard an incredible 8,500 of the Marco Cortesi Mk1 'pins, £30 each,(see right) have been sold – our deputy ed Paul Dennis reckons they're 'brilliant'. And Used Tackle would have sold a lot more if they hadn't released the wider Mk2 'pin with a line guard which they've sold over 3,500, released their Barbus 'pin which they've shifted 2000-plus and their Golden Retriever which they sold over 1,000.
Add to that the fact that high profile, big fish all-rounder Matt Hayes, has signed up with Used Tackle head honcho Roger Surgay – who, let's face it, has to be currently the most successful centrepin seller in the land – to offer a limited edition, hand picked, individually numbered wide arbor centrepin, and we have clearly another 'pin winner.
For £60, The slick 4.5 in. black machined spoke, Matt Hayes Limited Edition design, (see below) complete with movable line guard, running speed control and ratchet strength adjustment knob certainly looks the part.
And what's more it comes in a classy wooden presentation case with a velvet bag and personal certificate of authenticity. Only 1,000 have been made and I've heard there's only about 150 left!
I know Roger Surgay has been 'absolutely blown away' with the demand for centrepins and still is, a couple of years on. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of anglers out there who will be putting them to good use legering for river barbel, you can't beat the scream of that ratchet on the take.
And let's not forget centrepins are a lovely piece of kit for trotting too, if you get the right model offering such direct control as well as in more recent times for fishing with a long rod on stillwaters for tearaway margin carp on light end tackle. I just haven't come cross many on the bank to see the figures stack up.
I own a couple of 'pins but don't tend to use them because I fall into the habit of grabbing more versatile fixed spools should I need to fish out of 'pin range.
I appreciate the plus points: the feel, the direct contact when playing a fish. And I have have a handful of chunky fish up to a lucky 29 lb 4 oz common on a centrepin … it was more by luck than judgement, back when the pole float and 'pin off the rod tip was popular 20-plus years ago.
I think the more recent designs complete with the stylish wooden presentation box and looks 'of old' are part of the key here. And I think Roger feels the same. A lot of anglers remember them from their childhood, perhaps they always wanted one but could never afford one and feel they missed out until now….
Have you got one on your mantle piece?
DON'T get me wrong I love my fishing, but one fish I'm not in a rush to come into contact with again is the lesser weever (above). Step on one of these babies, around 6 in. long and in particular it's poisonous dorsal fin like I did a couple of weeks back and you know about it. Luckily or unluckily for me a couple of hours of severe pain followed, if you have an allergic reaction, it has been fatal.
Pursuing my other passion surfing on the Pembrokeshire coast, I was coming in over shallow sand after a good couple of hours and had a stabbing pain between my toes that felt like I'd stepped on glass. One of those situations where you know you've hurt yourself but you don't want to look…
I spent the next two hours with my foot in a bucket containing about four or five kettle fulls of near boiling water, in my van, the experts recommend 'as hot as you can tolerate without being scalded' . The idea is to denature the protein based venom – 'a nerve poison that has a chemical in it which is one of the most potent pain producing substances known.'
Don't fall for the 'you have to get a mate to 'pee' over your foot routine which is often banded about. After a couple of hours my pain did subside, but I did know about it.
Weevers bury themselves in the sand, just showing their eyes and snatch at prey as it comes past – normally shrimps and small fish.
If you do sea fish a bit, and swing something to hand on a bit of lug or rag, that looks like the fish in the photograph, think twice before you grab it. They've got poisonous spines on their gills too. If perch had them, it would have put a hell of a lot of first timers off fishing as for many of us it was the first fish we caught.
New releases – There's some great new innovative kit coming our way from the likes of Pure Fishing and Leeda, including an interesting intruder detecting system from JRC. Check out our Trade Show coverage in this week's issue.
Barbel – Two particular barbel catches impressed me this week. Tim Gawler's brace at 15 lb 9 oz and 14 lb 3 oz off the River Trent after lots of blanks. And then Adam Moxey's 12 lb 3 oz cracker from Devon's River Exe, not exactly a known barbel river is it? Good angling lads.
Far East Manufacturing – AM columnist Dave Coster makes a very valid point in this week's issue that it's the product developers and quality controllers in this country who are responsible for letting shoddy tackle slip through to tackle shop shelves. The problem's not always 'the Far East', if you often shun Far East tackle. After all your TV, stereo, microwave and mobile's probably made in the Far East…
Soft toy fish – Carvings, paintings, photographs I get. Life size soft toy fish I don't get.
Raves – living just north of Brighton, my last two trips to a local stretch of tidal river have coincided with raves in the field opposite. The 'drum and bass' got so loud on my last session I could feel it through the ground on the far bank of the river. Judging by my lack of bites, I reckon the fish did the off too, like I did.
Watch this promo for the brand new MAP TKS poles seen the mag – then get straight over to our Facebook (CLICK HERE) where we will be giving one away between Thursday and Tuesday!
A hot one this, as not only do you see Nash tackle chief Kevin Nash catching a huge 48 lb carp but you also get a sneaky peek at his forthcoming Scope 9 ft carp rods!
James Robbins of Shakespeare explains the new Shakespeare Sigma rods, including the famous Sigma Wand. More on the trade launch and other products is in our mag this week.
James Vincent of JRC explains the PIR alarms. I report on these in the magazine this week. An impressive and noisy bit of bit!

Roy Halladay: Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds shouldn't go into Hall of Fame
Roy Halladay is not one to mince his words.
The retired two-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher took to Twitter early Wednesday morning to tout his disdain of allowing Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
When you use PEDs you admit your not good enough to compete fairly! Our nations past time should have higher standards! No Clemens no Bonds!
— Roy Halladay (@RoyHalladay) January 6, 2016
Neither Bonds or Clemens were inducted, receiving 44.3 percent and 45.2 percent of the votes, respectively. Former players need 75 percent to enter the hall.
Clemens responded to the claim, as tweeted by Fox 26 Houston sports director Mark Berman:
.@rogerclemens gets 45.2% of votes for HOF,up from 37.5last year.The 7time CyYoung winner issued following statement pic.twitter.com/qclbFxRcYW

Ford Motor Co. unveiled the sixth generation of its Mustang on Wednesday night, nearly 50 years after the original debuted at the New York World's Fair.
The automaker released photos of the 2015 Mustang and planned to show it off in a global reveal at events in Los Angeles; New York; Dearborn, Mich.; Barcelona, Spain; Shanghai; and Sydney, Australia, on Thursday. The new version of the iconic American sports coupe will go on sale late next year.
"Every car company has a vehicle that strikes to the heart and soul of the company, and for us that is the Mustang," said Mark Fields, Ford's chief operating officer.
PHOTOS: Ford debuts 2015 Mustang
The new model hews closely to the styling that enabled Ford to sell 9 million Mustangs and made the car a star of countless movies, television shows and even postage stamps. Ford plans to take advantage of its international fame -- there's a Mustang club even in remote Iceland -- to launch sales in Europe and Asia.
Anyone seeing the car will instantly recognize it as a Mustang, with its long sculpted hood and short rear deck. The styling is most evocative of the 1969 model.
"When you see it, you know it has the bloodlines of a Mustang but is designed for the 21st century," Fields said.
The shark nose grill leans forward to give an impression of movement and aggression. The trademark tri-bar tail lamps now come in a three-dimensional configuration that lends depth to the rear. The sloping fast-back roof profile shouts Mustang more than anything else.
Ford's challenge: to honor a half-century of history while injecting the car with modern engines, technology and styling cues.
It will offer three engine choices. The base model will have a 3.7-liter V6 with at least 300 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. Ford also plans a turbo-charged four cylinder that will have about the same horsepower but more torque and better fuel economy.
The performance Mustang will come with a 5.0-liter V8 that will produce more than the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque that's in the current GT model.
Ford has worked to increase the size of the cabin to allow for more shoulder and hip room for passengers, and a trunk that will be able to store two golf bags.
The car will be built at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant near Detroit.
Initial critiques were mixed.
"I love how they have brought the fastback back," said Edward Loh, editor in chief of Motor Trend magazine. "It is lean-looking, longer, lower and wider."
But Dave Sullivan, manager of product analysis for the AutoPacific Inc. consulting firm said he was underwhelmed.
"This new one kind of looks like a Ford Fusion coupe," Sullivan said.
PHOTOS: Mustangs through the years
Ford hopes the car can help it regain some of Mustang's past luster. Sales have fallen from the hundreds of thousands annually during the 1960s to below a projected 80,000 this year. It also trails pony-car rival Chevrolet Camaro in sales.
"The pony car market isn't what it used to be, but you can bet Ford would still like to assert bragging rights in a segment that it invented and has owned for the better part of 50 years," said Jack Nerad, analyst at auto price information company Kelley Blue Book
Other automakers are also watching to see how Ford executes the roll out.
"Ford management team understands that Mustang is a treasure, a true icon. It's a piece of Americana that has global appeal," said John Krafcik, a former Ford executive who now heads Hyundai Motor America.

CARSON, Calif. (Monday, January 28, 2013) – The LA Galaxy announced today that the club has appointed Chris Klein as the club's new President. Klein, who has worked for the Galaxy since retiring as a player following the 2010 MLS season, had previously served as the Senior Director of the Galaxy Academy before being promoted to Vice President in February 2012. In his new role as Galaxy President, Klein will work closely with new AEG Sports Chief Operating Officer Kelly Cheeseman while continuing to oversee the business operations of the club.
"We have always been impressed with Chris' commitment and desire to excel on the business side of sports, and we have great confidence and faith that he will take the LA Galaxy to new levels," said AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke. "We admire his passion and loyalty to the brand and his desire for the Galaxy to be the greatest soccer club in the history of this sport in this country. What makes Chris even more valuable to the Galaxy is his ability to understand our academy system, our development system and the partnership he has with Bruce will allow the Galaxy to continue to compete for championships year after year."
"I am thrilled with this opportunity and excited to continue working with the great group of individuals we have on our staff," added Klein. "The Galaxy's best days are ahead of us and I am thankful that Tim and his team at AEG have the confidence in me to help lead us into the future".
An MLS Cup winner with Kansas City in 2000 Klein spent 12 years as a player in MLS, playing for Kansas City and Real Salt Lake before being traded to the Galaxy in June 2007. The 37-year-old St. Louis native played the final three-and-a-half years of his career with the Galaxy, appearing in more than 100 games in all competitions, scoring five goals and adding 15 assists while helping the club win the Western Conference Championship in 2009 and the Supporters' Shield in 2010. Klein retired from MLS having played in 333 regular season games, the fifth most in MLS history at the time. He also made 22 appearances with the U.S. National Team, scoring five times and helping the U.S. qualify for the FIFA World Cup in 2002 and 2006.

Zuckerberg group hires Todd Schulte
The immigration reform group launched by Mark Zuckerberg has hired a former Priorities USA and DCCC official as its executive director as the legislative fight heads into a crucial week, officials said.
Todd Schulte, former chief of staff at Priorities USA, the pro-Obama super PAC credited with devastating ads about Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital, has been working in the role in the lead-up to Senate votes on an immigration bill this week, officials said.
Story Continued Below
He's the executive director of FWD.us, the umbrella group that's making a bipartisan pitch for immigration reform through an ad campaign, among other efforts. He's also the president of the Council for American Job Growth, which is putting its efforts into outreach to progressives and independents.
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
Before his Priorities USA work, Schulte was chief of staff for former Rep. Scott Murphy (D-N.Y.), and also worked at the DCCC in the 2006 and 2008 cycles.
FWD.us is expected to spend $50 million on its push to back an immigration overhaul, well above what other groups have laid down to move the ball on the issue.
They've been on TV and talk radio for the last month, including a string of state-specifics ads in targets like New Hampshire, where they defended Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who has been battered on another issue, gun control, by New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg's 501c4.

Caught Creeping: Naya Rivera Calls Off Wedding With Big Sean After He Comes Clean About Chopping Down Side Chicks
SMH. Even those new funbags couldn't keep him faithful…
Naya Rivera Calls Off Wedding With Big Sean After He Admits Cheating
Word on the curb is that wedding bells have ceased ringing for "Glee" star Naya Rivera and her G.O.O.D. music rapper boo Big Sean.
According to Star Magazine reports:
They got engaged after just six months of dating, and now, Naya Rivera and Big Sean are rethinking their fast track to the altar. In fact, the Glee star has put all wedding plans on hold because her rapper beau has admitted to being unfaithful.
Insiders tell Star that after the 26-year-old popped the question in October, his playboy ways did not subside, and he suddenly got cold feet. "It was too much, too fast for him," a source spills.
Now, Naya's inner circle is urging her to break things off for good, but the actress refuses to give up so easily. "She's already picked out a wedding dress and doesn't want it all to be for nothing," a pal says. "She's in denial."
Naya you might want to save that wedding dress for a more deserving dude.
Update: Ironically the couple who met on Twitter are no longer following each other there any more and there's a shady tweet going around that is supposedly from Naya (we haven't been able to confirm if she actually tweeted and deleted it or if it's doctored) paints a pretty ugly picture of Sean as being shady in all kinds of other ways.
Big Sean has also released a statement.
Hit the flip for that
Looks like Sean is denying the cheating rumors, according to this E! News report:
"After careful thought and much consideration, Sean has made the difficult decision to call the wedding off," a rep for Big Sean said in a statement obtained by E! News. "The recent rumors and accusations reported by so-called or fake sources are simply untrue. Sean wishes Naya nothing but the best and it is still his hope that they can continue to work through their issues privately. We will not be commenting again on this matter."
Last night at the Marie Claire Fresh Faces event in Los Angeles, a subdued-looking Rivera did not appear to be wearing the massive diamond ring that her now ex-fiancé gave her.
Who do you believe?
Here's the photo of Naya from Tuesday night where she showed up sans ring… She posted a smaller version with this caption:
Hit the flip for photos from happier times.

Waddington Cemetery is just across the road from where I live, yet has been the most frustrating to complete. I'm not a terribly superstitious person, but I was beginning to wonder if someone or something didn't want me to finish photographing the cemetery.
Each time I visited I was plagued by technical glitches or dead batteries. On one occasion I took a nasty tumble backwards over the edge of a gravestone I had not noticed while backing up to take a picture – the camera slammed to the ground and made a horrid tinkling sound.
Luckily it survived – but I came away a bit dazed and bruised.
You'll notice some of the listings are in red, and have no images to accompany them. These are the records of burials in Waddington with which no gravestones are now associated – unmarked graves.
If you know of a Waddington burial that is not listed, please let me know so I can research and update the records.
Happy Hunting!

Creator: Bartelsman, Eric J. and Beaulieu, J. Joseph Series: Joint committee on business and financial analysis Abstract:
This paper is the first of a series of explorations in the relative performance and sources of productivity growth of U.S. businesses across industries and legal structure. In order to assemble the disparate data from various sources to develop a coherent productivity database, we developed a general system to manage data. The paper describes this system and then applies it by building such a database. The paper presents updated estimates of gross output, intermediate input use and value added using the BEA=s GPO data set. It supplements these data with estimates of missing data on intermediate input use and prices for the 1977-1986 period, and it concords these data, which are organized on a 1972 SIC basis, to the 1987 SIC in order to have consistent time series covering the last twenty-four years. It further refines these data by disaggregating them by legal form of organization. The paper also presents estimates of labor hours, investment, capital services and, consequently, multifactor productivity disaggregated by industry and legal form of organization, and it analyzes the contribution of various industries and business organizations to aggregate productivity. The paper also reconsiders these estimates in light of the surge in spending in advance of the century-date change.

Barnard College hosted its sixth annual Global Symposium in China on Wednesday, March 19. Women Changing China, gathered exceptional leaders in business, finance, academia, media, and the arts for conversations about their experiences and perspectives. The event, attended by more than 300 people, took place at the Portman Ritz Carlton in Shanghai. View photos from the symposium.
Women Changing China opened with introductory remarks from Barnard President Debora Spar, who then moderated a discussion with Yang Lan, chair of Sun Media Group and Sun Culture Foundation, and Wu Qing, activist and English-language professor. Both women also participated in Barnard's first Global Symposium, which took place in Beijing in 2009, and returned to this year's event with ideas about what "having it all" means to Chinese women today. Wu Qing emphasized the fundamental values of love, truth, and equal rights, while Yang Lan talked about the need to prioritize different aspects of life over time, as well as the complicated challenges facing urban women.
During the second panel of the day, Insights into Business and Finance, the audience heard from Song Bing, managing director at Goldman Sachs, Beijing; Jiang Peizhen, chair and general manager of Golden Throat Group; Yuan Li, managing editor of the Chinese online edition of The Wall Street Journal; and Yunli Lou, founding partner of Milestone Capital. Moderator Kathryn Kolbert, director of Barnard's Athena Center for Leadership Studies, talked with panelists about their "secret sauce"—their personal formulas for success—as female entrepreneurs and business leaders.
The event's closing panel, Voices in Education, Media, and the Arts, featured Julia Huang, executive chairman of ChinaEDU; Scarlett Li, founder and CEO of Zebra Media; Danwen Xing, visual artist; Tracey Trench, head of creative development at Oriental DreamWorks. Moderator Catherine Sameh, associate director of the Barnard Center for Research on Women, led a discussion about what it means to create content and the roles of art, technology, and social media in women's personal narratives.
In her closing remarks, President Spar focused on what is missing from the media's representation of women today, saying, "I think it is really important for all of us to notice that we are used to seeing less-than-perfect-men...we tend only to see women who are perfect, or pretty darn good."
On Sunday, March 16, Barnard College's Global Symposium Student Fellows facilitated the 2014 Young Women's Leadership Workshop at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai. Read more about this event, watch videos, and view photos.

The debate is on. Which is the best? Which is the worst? Why do we use different types of filters for different types of fish? What filter is best for my specific tank setup? In this post we will discuss the three main filtration types. What are the pros and cons to each? What is best for a specific tank setup? The areas covered will be mostly for freshwater tanks as saltwater tanks use a more complex system of filtration often including sumps and overflows that a normal freshwater tank would not include.
So first what are the most common types of filtration? The most uncommon and sometimes considered obsolete form of tank filtration is the under gravel filter system. The second is probably the most common type of filtration system used in general aquariums today, the hang on back or power filter. The final type of commonly used filter would be the canister filter, which mostly are used with larger tanks but some prefer to use them on all tanks.
The under gravel filtration system usually consists of a system of one or two plates that are rigged and are set under the gravel when first setting up the tank. The corners of the plate/plates have predrilled holes in them big enough to fit a piece of clear or colored piping on it that will run vertically up the tank and connect into power heads. The power heads suck water through them at their rated speed and create a siphon in the gravel pulling all suspended material down into the gravel. The pros of an under gravel system are that suspended particles are usually pulled down into the gravel keeping the overall tank appearance very clean and free of debris. That is about the only pro with the system. The disadvantages highly out number the advantages. The disadvantage to these systems are they are virtually impossible to run with sand or any fine particle substrate as it will end up being sucked through the plate and into the power heads. Another disadvantage is that the gravel commonly does not hold enough bacteria to sustain a full cycle and keep the decomposing waste and food particles from creating higher levels of ammonia and nitrites. The gravel needs to be vacuumed on a very rigorous schedule to completely remove the debris left behind since it is always pulled into the gravel. The biggest disadvantage to under gravel filtration is there is virtually no media choice available.
The hang on the back or power filter is the most common filter used for recreational aquarists as it is widely accessible, cheap and come in many different variations. The most common quality hobs include Aquaclear, Tetra Whisper, and Marineland Emperor and Penguin series filters. There are other options available like Top Fin, Aqua Tech, and various other brands but these often include less media options than the higher quality hobs. HOB filter pull water from an intake tube that is user adjustable with attachments. The water is pulled up the intake by a propeller and sent into the filtration hold in the filters. Different hobs have different filter media options. The Aquaclear series has more media options than other hob filers. Its mechanical filtration stage is a sponge, then a carbon bag or most prefer just loading it with biomax (ceramic rings). If you have ammonia problems you can also load the aquaclears with ammonia remover bags as media. Whisper and Marineland filters usually have less media capacity and include pre-made carbon filters. However, biobags can be purchased and stuffed with whatever filter media the user prefers. The cheap price, numerous filter media options, and low energy use make the hobs the most commonly used filtration system. The only real disadvantage to hobs is in a planted tank scenario where little water flow on the surface is required to keep needed CO2 in the water.
The final filter option would be canister filters. Canister filters are often used on larger tanks and by aquarists who have a general preference for them. They are external filters and generally set beside or under the tank and are used commonly in aquariums that are meant to be viewed from both sides. The sleek intake and return tubes allow for the front and back to be viewed where a hob would block the view from either side. Canisters pull water through an intake and into the canister. Once in the canister the water is filtered in a 3 stage process as the hob. First stage is mechanical filtration which is usually a sponge or some type of fiber material. The second stage is the chemical stage which generally would include carbon or for most ceramic rings. The third stage is the alternate chemical stage and again would be ceramic rings, biomax or some even use a high polishing fiber to keep the water crystal clear. The advantages to a canister filter are external filtration so no visual blocks on the tank, they are generally larger than hobs so they can carry way more filter media allowing for more bacteria development on the media and decreasing the risk of recycles, and last they allow attachments of spraybars which allow controlled movement of water streams by the user. The only real disadvantage to canisters is the initial cost of the unit.
As for overall performance the canister may be a higher stability filter but if you have adequate filtration on your tank with hobs you should not be able to tell the difference. The best bang for their buck will be the hob as the cost for a high performance hob that filters around 100 gallons would be $60. For a canister that will filter 100 gallons general price range will be $150-$200. At the end of the day it is user preference and what has worked the best for them though. Hopefully this will help out a little.

Media scrutiny of the Catholic clergy sexual abuse scandal in recent months has been the most intense since coverage in 2002, when a Boston Globe series detonated an explosion of stories in the U.S. about priestly misconduct and the coverups by bishops and cardinals.
The church's problems — and the pope's possible role in covering up crimes — were big news in the European press and here in the United States, where it was the eighth biggest story in mainstream media, according to a report released today by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
The Catholic clergy sexual abuse story beat out coverage of changes in nuclear weapons policy and the Tea Party movement. The only topics garnering more stories were health care legislation, the economic crisis, the West Virginia coal mine accident, the Iceland volcano eruption and war in Afghanistan.
In the first four months of 2010, news outlets published 1,559 stories related in some way to the scandal. That is only 5 percent fewer than the number in a similar period, May to August, in 2002.

This morning's soybean cancellations sent soybean prices sharply lower. January soybeans closed 30 ¼ cents lower at $14.66. March corn was 4 cents lower at $7.20 while March wheat settled 3 ¼ cents higher at $8.11 ¼.
The market was expecting the USDA to announce more soybean sales this morning at the usual 8:00am time. To the market's surprise the USDA announced the cancellation of 300,000 Mts of US soybeans to China as well as 120,000 MTs to "unknown" destinations. They did announce a sale to 110,000 Mts of soybeans to another "unknown" destination at the same time. The recent soybean strength has been fueled mostly by strong export demand so this was an especially large shock to the market.
Corn futures were weak mainly following soybeans lower. Wheat was lower for most of the day but found strength into the close. It could be that wheat has had the largest selloff recently and this is just short covering. Concerns over central US dryness are also providing underlying support for wheat.
March corn found technical support at last week's lows (see chart):
January soybeans settled below the 200 day moving average (grey line). Further setbacks may trigger sellstops to take us back toward the low. With January options expiring Friday we could see some larger price moves on position squaring. Larger put open interest is noted at the $14.00 strike while larger call option open interest is noted at the $15.00 strike.
Wednesday we will see ethanol production as well as Informa's 2013 acreage estimates. Friday will be the last trading day for January grain and oilseed options. We will be open on Christmas Eve until noon and closed Christmas Day. Markets will reopen on the 26th at their usual morning open-outcry times. We expect low volume and choppy trading over the next two weeks as many traders are out for vacation. If you have been waiting for a chance to price grain having hopeful orders above the market may not be a bad idea during this timeframe.

Every disaster that befalls a nation -- hurricanes, floods, terrorism, earthquakes -- constitutes God's punishment of a people gone astray, according to Pat Robertson, who famously blamed feminists for 9/11 and gays for Hurricanes Katrina and Andrew. In the case of Haiti's devastating earthquake, he blames an ostensible deal that black Haitians made with the Devil in order to win their emancipation and independence from the French colonials who enslaved them. So, in Haiti's case it might not be God who did the nation in, but rather the Devil calling in his chit. "True story," according to Robertson:
[S]omething happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French, uh you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the Devil. They said we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True Story. And so the Devil said "Okay, it's a deal." And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor. That island is Hispaniola is one island. It's cut down the middle. On one side is Haiti, on the other side is the Dominican republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc.. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. Uh, they need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God and out of this tragedy. I'm optimistic something good may come.Because, of course, black people couldn't possibly have the wherewithal to defeat their white oppressors without a little supernatural help -- and it sure wouldn't be coming from God, right?
