He has a California State Certificate in Geographic Information Science from Diablo Valley College. Mr. Dyleski's previous articles on the outdoors have been published in Sierra magazine, Northern California Explorer, and the Tahoe Daily Tribune.
Much has changed along this trail corridor which was once used by mule trains to carry redwood from Oakland to Sacramento and later on served as a steam train route for railroads like the San Francisco-Sacramento. Today it's a paved multi-use E. Bay Parks Regional Trail reflecting the laid back character of the communities for which it is named. It's frequently used by residents, hikers, bikers, sometimes equestrians, commuters linking to BART, shoppers shuttling to Lafayette stores, students on their way to several schools near the trail, and mothers pushing strollers for a chance to get out and exercise. Judging by the volume of self-propelled traffic, and the "regulars" using it almost daily, it's a great way to meet the neighbors and eliminate some dependence on motor vehicles. This brief description of some of its features hopefully will get more readers to think about adopting a more involved, healthier, and self propelled lifestyle using any of the many Regional Trails in our East Bay, starting with this world class example.
Begin at Olympic and Reliez or the big lot at Olympic Blvd. Staging Area and Pleasant Hill Rd. The Lafayette Moraga Trail passes through quiet, mostly wooded neighborhoods for more than 7 miles. Locals enjoy visiting the "backyard chickens" near the half mile mark and viewing the collection of artistic bird houses in a nearby tree. Mileage markers are painted on the trail surface every quarter mile for those wanting to keep track, and drinking water is available a little past Foye Dr. on the trail, at the back of the fire station soon after you cross Glenside Dr., and at Moraga Commons. As you cross bridges over Las Trampas Creek, especially after a significant rainstorm, look down into the steep sided creek side and imagine how these must have been "fair weather only crossings" when the heavily loaded mule trains passed through what was then a remote wilderness area. During the summer, it's fun to hit the trail early and return to downtown Lafayette on School St. and then Moraga Rd. for the refreshment available along Lafayette Circle or Mt. Diablo Blvd. before the afternoon heat starts. The trail has numerous benches in the shade, "doggie bag" holders throughout the route, and frequently spaced trash cans, but restrooms only at Moraga Commons. The stretch between Rheem Blvd. and Moraga Commons is especially nice, with a PAR Course, Redwood trees and even old remnant pear trees still bearing fruit.
A great overview and planning tool is the EBRP map "Central Contra Costa Regional Trails". It's available free from kiosks at the staging area lot at Olympic and Reliez Station Rd., the small lot at S. Lucile Ln. and St. Mary's Rd., at Moraga Commons, and at the Valle Vista Staging Area at the Moraga terminus on Canyon Rd. A brief study of the route of the Lafayette Moraga Regional Trail on the map should generate some thoughts of possible future connecting hikes or bike rides. From Valle Vista, trails lead into Las Trampas and Redwood Regional Parks. From Olympic-Reliez it's a short walk to the Briones to Diablo Regional Trail. And, cyclists can turn off the Lafayette Moraga at Moraga Way (NOT on nearby Moraga Rd.) and make the ride into a longer 17 mile loop on the Lamorinda Bicycle Trail. Take a look at the rest of the map and you will find the Regional trails make it possible to connect to shopping, entertainment, Alameda County and, using BART to access other transportation hubs, much of the rest of the Bay Area. Now that's a life changing thought to put into action!

Our inaugural class of 25 TechGirls arrived in New York City late on the evening of Monday, June 25. For almost all of them, it was the first time they had set foot in the United States from their home countries in the Middle East and North Africa. We could immediately see what an amazing, talented, and passionate group of young women we would have the privilege of working with.
In July 2011, Secretary Clinton announced the launch of TechGirls -- a three-week, intensive youth exchange -- "to encourage innovation and promote the spread of new technologies to give women and girls the support that they need to become leaders in this field." Our Embassies ran a very competitive selection process, identifying the best and brightest young women with high achievements and aptitude in mathematics, science, and technology. There was no better example than Mai, a young woman from Alexandria, Egypt, who is a self-described "computer freak" who wants to be a cardiologist when she grows up. Mai believes that technology can provide better services for citizens based on her experience during last year's protests in Tahrir Square. Back in February 2011, Mai witnessed how Egyptians used social media to bring food and medical supplies to those who needed it most. She is inspired by this example and wants to replicate and extend it among a wider community in her home country.
Our TechGirls kicked off their adventure with three days in New York City, organized by Legacy International whose mission is to strengthen civil society and foster peace-building and conflict resolution worldwide. During that time, they had the opportunity to connect with Rachel Sterne, Chief Digital Officer for New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg; Global Kids, which works to develop youth leaders for the global stage; DoSomething.org, an organization which encourages young people to create their own vision for making a difference in their community; Souktel, which designs and delivers mobile phone services that link people with jobs and connect aid agencies with communities who need help; and an amazing team of female engineers and business development leaders at Google offices in NYC. Through these discussions, the TechGirls were able to see a variety of ways in which women can becomes leaders in the science and technology space.
The TechGirls came down to Washington, D.C., at the end of last week. On their first full day in the District, they spent the afternoon meeting many women in senior leadership positions at the White House, including the Office of Digital Strategy, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
The TechGirls were joined at the White House by young women from West Potomac High School in Alexandria, Virginia. The TechGirls and the American students had meaningful discussions, sharing their enthusiasm for science and technology and experiences in science fairs around the world -- after just a couple of hours together, they walked out of the room promising to stay in touch and continue the conversation.
For their remaining time in the United States, the TechGirls will participate in the Wonder Space Tech Camp, hosted on American University's campus. The girls will have the chance to develop hands-on skills, such as programming, robotics, mobile application building, web design, video graphics, and 3D game design. They'll also connect with many players in the growing D.C. tech community, and develop the community projects they'll carry out when they return home.
It has been an absolute blast getting to know our inaugural group of TechGirls. The Department of State, like the great team behind Girls Who Code, recognizes the importance of inspiring young women to pursue educational and professional opportunities in the science and technology sphere. TechGirls is proving to be a fantastic exchange program for these young women, providing emerging talent with the skills and resources to pursue their dreams.

Hello ,my name is Bibiojar i am 22 years old from Tajikistan.
I am Member of Islamic Revival Party Of Tajikistan ,and also the Head of cultural department in Vahdat region .
I am very glad to hearing about such program ,and i wish DipNote will provide such program for our women .
as you know the women is not allowed in Tajikistan to attend universities an hischool with Scarf or Islamic hijab , for that reason meany muslim girl were pushed away from Education .
if you see in Pakistan the taliban is avoiding Girls to participate in schools ,in my country the Girls have same problem from our officials government .
and know we have no choice accept joining Islamic Party , its the only place in Tajikistan providing some classes for our women and girls .
and here i will share some more information about the women situation in Tajikistan .
Tajikistan has banned female schoolchildren from wearing the hijab headscarf and, in a secret unwritten instruction, barred children from visiting mosques in school hours, Forum 18 News Service has learnt. Some imams in the capital Dushanbe are, to Forum 18`s knowledge, interpreting this as meaning that no children should be allowed into mosques at any time. Education Minister Abdudjabor Rahmonov has claimed that wearing the hijab "is unacceptable in secular schools and violates the constitution and a new law on education," even though the Tajik constitution does not bar wearing the hijab. Rahmonov also claimed that many pupils "spend evenings in mosques and do not do their homework." No-one at the Education Ministry or the state Religious Affairs Committee was prepared to discuss the bans, but one official told Forum 18 that the headscarf ban had not been decided by the Religious Affairs Committee, saying that "this decision was evidently taken right at the top."

Bali | Everything A Conscious Traveler Needs To Know
Contributing Monkie Anthony Anderson
Topics of Interest asia, bali, eco-travel, green travel
Published on February 11, 2009
Section G Living, Traveling & Cool Stuff To Do
Comments 5
So here is the scoop for all you lucky souls out there considering a trip down to SE Asia.
Just a sidenote:
Those of us born in the "developed" world have so much to be thankful for. We were born rich.
Most people that you will meet in SE Asia have never left their own country. When you feel down because of your tax bill in april or because your computer keeps shutting down unexpectedly, take a deep breath and regain the awareness of how UNFATHOMABLY lucky you are.
Ok…here we go.
If you are going to Bali, you will likely want to just stay in Ubud. The island is relatively small, so you can do day trips from Ubud, which is centrally located. The beach is an hour away,
the mountains are an hour away…all easily reached. When you are ready to hire a driver for the day, avoid all the guys that hassle you on the street yelling "Transport?" "Taxi?" You will have to negotiate with them, and it can be a bit maddening at times. Use these guys for quick trips around town if you don't have the time to go on foot. DO NOT be afraid to walk away. There are many more of them down the road, and this bold move will usually get them to accept your offer. For a quick drive around town, expect to pay about $2, maybe $3 if its rainy or late at night. Continue Reading / See Additional Photos

The quintessential bike hydration pack with the convenience of external fill via the quick-release flap on the front of the pack. Holds the industry-leading 2L Antidote™ reservoir. One small pocket on front plus storage bungee to stash a shed layer.
Antidote™ Reservoir Features: 1/4 turn - easy open/close cap, lightweight fillport, center baffling and low-profile design, patented Big Bite™ Valve, HydroGuard™ technology, PureFlow™ tube, easy-to-clean wide-mouth opening
Key Pack Features: External fill, overflow storage bungee, essentials pocket, reflectivity
Designed to Carry: Multi-tool or wallet, extra layer secured by bungee, keys
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
We recommend wiping your pack with a damp cloth to remove dirt. If the pack is extremely dirty and needs a deeper cleaning, soak it in cool or warm water with a very mild soap. Rinse the pack thoroughly with cool water. If soap residue remains in the fabric, it may create suds if exposed to water or sweat.
DO NOT wash your pack in a washing machine. Machine washing may damage the pack or affect the integrity of the fabric and fasteners, and will void the Got Your Bak™ Guarantee.
The best way to care for your reservoir is to clean and dry it after every use, especially if you fill the reservoir with anything other than water. However, if a reservoir has not been cleaned after every use, and mold or discoloration develops:
1. Use hot water and a CamelBak Cleaning Tablet. Or use 2 tablespoons of baking soda or bleach instead of CamelBak Cleaning Tab. Mix the solution inside your reservoir and elevate the reservoir above the tube and Big Bite Valve. Pinch the bite valve, allowing the solution to flow into the drink tube and fill the bite valve.
2. Let the reservoir and cleaning solution sit in the reservoir and drink tube for about 30 minutes.
3. Wash the reservoir with hot water and mild soap. Be sure to completely rinse away the cleaning solution in the reservoir and drink tube before using again. You can also use CamelBak brushes from our Cleaning Kit to scrub your reservoir and drink tube. Brushes are the best way to ensure you are scrubbing all of the areas of the reservoir clean.
4. Once the reservoir is clean, be sure to air dry overnight so no moisture is trapped inside, which can cause mold to grow.
These steps will make your reservoir safe for use. If there are still spots left behind, these are permanent mold stains that may not be removable. However, your reservoir is still safe and usable after you've cleaned it.

Great for trail running
By Roanoke Valley trail runner
from Roanoke, VA
I love this pack. Things I changed - I cut the straps shorter and added plastic buckles now they don't come loose at all when I run. I reversed the strap through the sternum buckle and moved the hose clip to the sternum strap, stops the strap from coming loose and keeps the hose nice and secure. I also sewed in a key hook for my car keys to the inner near the top. Great product.

Great Size For Multipurpose Use
By The Hive Partnership
from London, UK
We were going on holiday which included being in the desert, whale watching and theme parks as well as the Everglades and this pack is perfect. It holds a good amount of liquid to cover a days events.The other review said that it does not fit an iPhone but I think they must have been trying to fit a 3, 4 or 4S into the zipped pocket. In fact the iPhone 5 fits perfectly in it with no stretching and in face I could also fit my wallet!You can feel the quality and even though this is my first ever pack I would definitively recommend it.

Regulate bullets, not guns
To the editor:
Comedian Chris Rock says we don't need gun control, rather we need bullet control. He wants each bullet to cost $5,000.
That's pretty pricey for rabbit hunting, I think, so here's my better idea for bullet control: make bullets as hard to purchase as cold medicine.
Back when Iowa's Legislature realized they could do something about the meth epidemic just through cold medicine control, they wasted no time doing so. They required all purchasers to sign in before they picked up any cold medicine containing psuedoephedrine, an ingredient useful in making the dangerous drug.
That's what we should do now. Require all purchasers to sign in before they purchase any bullets. We don't even need to put a limit on the size of the purchase like we did with cold medicine.
This will create a paper trail to any criminal. It won't interfere with gun collectors or legal gun usage. It won't cost gun owners anything. It won't even prevent school massacres. It will merely show that we have overcome our complacency; we consider bullets to be as worthy of our attention as common cold medicine; that we think gun violence is a problem as big as meth; that legislators no longer live in fear of the gun lobby.

Looks like he behaved yet again....great looking pies you are making CopperTop.
Looks like you've nailed it! Do you prefer hand kneading vs a mixer?
Doubled the recipe, 20 balls at 260 g
But now I'm looking to invest in a fork mixer, especially since I would rather use my time elsewhere (ie, making mozzerella)
What a beautiful yard and oven. Is all that green grass yours? In Japan, that would be way bigger than our public parks!!
Sharlene,Are you making 20 pies with those 20 dough balls? I think I am missing part of the equation! John K
beautiful oven & great looking pies. I vote for hand kneading....is it really that time consuming? + keeps those natural dough hooks strong!
Et c'est un four français en plus !
nice work & oven CopperTop!Your blog looks like a good read too; do you update often?
What he said.
For anyone who's thought of taking a training class.... Check out my latest blog: One-on-One Training with Giulio Adriani of Forcella NYC. www.pizzastalker.blogspot.comIt's a quick summary of my day with Giulio. Thanks again, Scott123 for suggesting to contact him back in January. I really learned a lot from Giulio and highly recommend him for a training course. He truly knows his craft, a high standard of professionalism and genuinely a good man. Total respect for him. He hopes Pizza Academy will be ready to open their doors in September. Primary focus will be 1-2 days course. For most of the members here who already have a basic knowledge and experience, I personally think it will be worth the time and money for those interested in learning in a classroom setting.
I've always been considered the "does not play well with others" type but could maybe consider another classroom setting...is this expensive?Thanks!
Awesome blog and your pizzas look amazing!
Pizza Academy starts construction in 2 weeks, which will take place above Forcella ( Brooklyn). He is all about setting up an area, a formal "classroom" setting, away from the pizzeria business itself so that the main focus is learning, meaning their is no distractions from the teaching-learning process. I couldn't agree more. While there is much to learn having the "classroom" in a pizzeria (ie, pre-opening hours), all the commotion that takes place distracts the learning process. Especially the teacher. I experienced this during my training with Roberto. It was impossible for him not to answer the incessant phone calls, computer work, and inevitable interactions with staff when he was at his work place, rather than focusing on the actual training. Roberto is a very talented pizza maker but I think the distractions that take place in a pizzeria took away the value of a (very) costly training for me.Giulio has the right idea of designating an area separate from the business, and yet, still give the students the opportunity to experience real setting by going downstairs to the pizzeria and observing. He spoke of bringing one of his long-time colleague to assist him in teaching the class, and even mentioned of working together with Roberto, perhaps. Though he didn't go into much detail about that. He didn't mention charges/ cost but I can ask Giulio.

About this design:
This bracelet was made with some of the great beads that I got from the clear out sale that LB had a few week's back. I wasn't too sure about my arrangement but the more I look at it I am liking it.
Components:Amazonite Blk. Tourmaline, Lava Rock, brushed gun metal beads

I really like your colors here, looks like you had some great finds at their sale.
You did good at the sale! The arrangement of the bracelet is perfect! It's very pretty.
Is the clasp gunmetal too? The reason I ask is because I have seen toggles made out of things like blackstone and onyx. This is a very elegant design – clean lines, love it.
Hi Leigh the clasp is gun metal as well. Thanks Valley Girl, Kitty Mom and Leigh.
I really like it very nice colors together..
Lovely bracelet!
Very pretty, like the color combo and that clasp is beautiful!

Got offense? Beltran the BeastPosted Thursday, May 3, 2012, at 2:47 PM
Carlos Beltran is an absolute beast.
There are so many things that could have been the focus of my column this morning. A stellar outing by Lance Lynn. The return of the explosive offense we saw through most of April. I could talk about Matt Holliday having yet another good night as he steadily pulls his way out of an April funk.
Not today. Today we have to talk about Carlos Beltran.
Before Wednesday's game, Beltran told he reporters just didn't feel comfortable at the plate. He knew he was struggling, but couldn't put his finger on what was causing it.
Manager Mike Matheny, when asked about Beltran, said that he saw signs that made him think Beltran was soon to come out of his slump.
Beltran-0 Matheny-1
When Beltran stepped up to the plate for the first time of the night, with two on and no one out in the first inning, he drove the first pitch and there was never a doubt. Three run homerun.
When he returned in the second inning, he got another RBI hit.
In the third, though, that's when he blew it open. With a three-run homerun to left center that had to be discovered on instant replay, Beltran turned what could have been just another night in his slump into a career high RBI total night.
Before all was said and done, Beltran had gone 4 for 5 with a pair of three-run homers, seven RBIs and two runs scored.
The night added a whopping 32 points to his overall batting average bringing him back up to .279. Not too shabby considering the 3 for 32 slump prior to the game.
All in all, to be a guy whose abilities were doubted by some, now the naysayers are laying out the welcome mat as they slowly but surely get over last year's painful break-up.
As you'll recall, many said after that break-up that the Cardinals offense would take a huge hit. Those people are certainly eating their words right now.
Including Wednesday's game, the Cardinals lead all of MLB in team batting average (.290), Team on-base percentage (.358) and team on base percentage plus slugging (.821 OBP).
The Cardinals' offense leads the National League in runs (135), hits (243), RBIs (131), batting average (.290), OBP (.358), slugging (.462) and OPS (.821). Not too bad for a team whose offense is supposed to be flat in 2012.
The team is also third in stolen bases with 21. They've only been caught stealing five times. To put this in perspective, in 2011 the team stole 57 bases all year. They are on pace to steal 120 in 2012 if they keep it up. That is a huge difference in an area where the team really needed to pick up the slack.
All in all, fans have a lot to be excited about this season as the Cardinals budget for fireworks has just risen dramatically.

If he hits 30 bombs this year, and next, he will only have 360-370. And a lifetime average of 283. Yes that's very good, but not Hall of Fame good. If you don't have 500 bombs or 3000 hits, or are a FANTASTIC fielder, (and I'm talking gold glove caliber over a decade) it's very hard to make it as a position player unless your a catcher. There have been MANY outfielders with just as good of numbers or better who aren't in the Hall.

If Beltran has two seasons similar to what Berkman did last year with the Cards, he's probably going to be in the Hall. Look at his numbers. They are pretty good. You seem pretty pessimistic to me but it's an opinion so I respect it.
-- Posted by sideline starter on Thu, May 3, 2012, at 8:26 PM
I hope you guys are right. Just not as optimistic I suppose. As I said, Berkman, Beltran, and Furcal are old. Freese and Craig really can't be counted on until they prove they can stay healthy entire season, talent is not the issue there. Holliday was good at what he was brought to STL for: Protecting Albert as a respectable name. He's never seemed to really come through alot in big spots and be the man (see his .210 average with runners in scoring position this year, and the fact that with the game on the line, the cubs intentionally walked the 2 hitter just to face him recently. Or see his average in the world series last year) I know I am especially hard on Holliday now though after the WS. I would have to be in ICU to sit out game 7 of the WS, and our cleanup hitter sat with a sore finger. Really?
Also, not that its really relevant to this argument, but its a bit of a stretch to consider Beltran or Furcal a borderline hall of famer. Very good major league players, but if they make the HOF, the prestige of that has truly went down.
-- Posted by Rocky09 on Thu, May 3, 2012, at 7:42 PM
They are more than already building for the future. Holliday, Jay, Freese, Yadi, Craig, Matt Carpenter, Descalso, Wainwright, Garcia, Lynn, Motte, Salas, Schumaker, Greene, not counting the top 5-10 ranked minor league system in the majors, which doesn't mean much and is just a ranking, but Cards have promising prospects in Matt Adams in Triple A who plays 1st base, Oscar Taveras in Double A projected as a corner outfielder and destroying the ball so far this year, Kolten Wong who will be the starting second basemen possibly next season and 2 of the top 10 pitching prospects in Shelby Miller and Carlos Martinez. That's not counting the free agents or trades they can try and make after Berkman, Beltran, Chris Carpenter, Westbrook, and Lohse all come off the books in the next year or 2. Plus they have 5 of the top 45-50 picks in this summers baseball draft.
You never know if any of the prospects will work out or who will get injured or what else will happen, but i would say there are very few teams in baseball with the foundation for future success set up like the Cardinals do.
-- Posted by Dr. Basketball on Thu, May 3, 2012, at 2:25 PM
Outfield: Holliday, Jay, Craig
Third: Freese SS: Furcal for now Second: Wong First: M-Carp Catcher: Yadi.
We have future on the roster in most spots and seem to have found the inefficiency of old, supposedly washed-up borderline HOFers. I'm not concerned about our future.
-- Posted by sideline starter on Thu, May 3, 2012, at 2:02 PM
I'm not saying they are. Just saying we need to build for the future.

Beltrans new nickname... Hot Carl
-- Posted by Hershisers and Old Fashioned's on Thu, May 3, 2012, at 12:23 PM
Berkman and Beltran are not under contract in 3 years.
-- Posted by gregb on Thu, May 3, 2012, at 12:18 PM
I am as excited about what guys like Beltran have done this year, and Berkman last year, in the short term. My only frustration with the Cardinals is, neither of these guys is a long term fix. In 3 years, we will have no clue where Lance Berkman and Carlos Beltran are, and at the moment we are counting on them to carry a huge load. Wish the Cardinals would pursue younger talent from now on as we are becoming a VERY old and injury prone team.
-- Posted by Rocky09 on Thu, May 3, 2012, at 12:13 PM
On a side note, what two great arms the Nationals have in the outfield in Harper and Ankiel. They are fun to watch!!

About This Rod
Extremely sensitive and lightweight, the top-of-the-line Shimano Cumara Reaction Casting Rods build on the success of the popular Cumara Bottom Contact Rods, now with the buttery actions and soft parabolic tips to allow you to excel at fishing reaction (moving) baits. Shimano painstakingly set out to dissect and categorize the world of reaction baits in order to design a series of rods, which would accentuate the attributes and strengths of each particular reaction bait in the conditions which they would most likely be thrown. With so many types of reaction baits out there, including crank baits, blade baits, big baits, deep baits, shallow baits, etc., it proved to be a daunting task. Shimano eventually decided the best way to categorize reaction baits was by cover type, either Hard Cover or Soft Cover - because no matter where you fish, fishing cover is the only real constant.
Thus, the Shimano Cumara Reaction Series Casting Rods were born and split into rods designed for fishing Hard Cover, like timber, rocks and manmade structures such as boat docks, and rods for fishing Soft Cover, which consists of grasses - in all shapes, sizes and densities. Both types of cover present unique sets of challenges especially for your fishing rods. In Hard Cover, the rod must absorb the friction of the bait hitting objects and recover quickly to keep the bait swimming true, while in Soft Cover the bait must constantly be cleared of grass and the rod must be able to rip the bait through the soft cover to get a bite.
The IM-10 Graphite blank construction is the real magic behind the Cumara Reaction Series Casting Rods. Delivering exceptional sensitivity, extremely light weights and soft forgiving parabolic actions, Shimano sought to create the most precise and lightweight reaction bait rods anglers have ever fished. The sensitivity helps anglers differentiate varying types of cover and navigate structural hazards more effectively, and the ideal actions are perfectly suited to accurate presentations, while also providing the perfect amount of play once a fish is on the line with the backbone to steer them away from trouble. Shimano's custom Split Reel Seat Design also facilitates a greater sensitivity transfer into the anglers hands by delivering maximum exposure to the rod blank. In addition, the Fuji SiC Silicon Carbide Guides are also extremely durable and lightweight. Featuring a unique Deep Press frame design, the guides are extremely resistant to tangling, even with braided lines, which are notorious for their tangling abilities. Rounding out the premium features, a convenient Hook Keeper keeps your baits secure and out-of-the-way when not fishing and the shaped EVA Foam Grips provide maximum comfort. Sleek and stealthy with their all-black finish, the Cumara Reaction Casting Rods are among the lightest rods on the market and perfectly blend the sensitivity of 100% graphite blanks with the proper rod actions to fish reactions baits at their full potential - in just about any situation.
All Cumara Reaction Series Rods are backed by Shimano's Limited Lifetime Over-the-Counter Replacement Warranty Program.
Customer Feedback
Comments: I love how bass pro shops still has this rod priced from $199-239 just one more thing that makes T.W. a much better place for all my bassin' needs. Anyways...these rods are super light and have a lot of back bone, I wish the taper wasn't so tough but overall this rod is one of the first ones I grab when I go fishing paired with my Core100 it feels like a toy in my hand but is far from it.
From: Michael: GA
Comments: ML man it is so sick. i cant express it anymore than that its light weight sensitive and i use it for a bunch of things from texasw rigs and more
From: Josh: LA
Comments: 7' Heavy: Great rod, lots of backbone and easy casting tip. Perfect for 5/8-1 oz. lures. 7'7" Med: Fine rod, but stronger than a Med action. MH would be more accurate. Ideal for all 1/2+ oz reaction baits.
From: Don: TX
Comments: I bought the 6"3 medium for light topwater baits and I must say, this was a great buy!! This rod is bad ass paired up with a shimano core reel with the 6:2:1 ratio. Couldn't be happier with this little rod!!
From: Mrbond007: Est Lansing, MI
Comments: I picked up this rod last week and fished with it for the first time this weekend. The rod was really light and paired up well with my Lew's tournament pro speed spool baitcaster. The rod is sensitive but not leaps and bounds better than previous rods that I have tried. But the rod packed a punch on hooksets and nailed a 4 four pounder on a shallow crankbait with no problem. The foam handles are really nice (this is coming from an all cork handle angler) and I probably will invest in more in the future. Very comfortable, lightweight, sensitive rod for the money.
From: Alan: Joliet, IL
Comments: First impressions, rod is light weight, nice quality componets. very clean and balanced. The one sore on this rod is the fact it's mass produced in china and not Japan. It's about $75.00 overpriced. Save your money and get a: 7"2" Powell Endurance Crankbait Casting Rod heavy action
From: Scott: Japan
Comments: I enjoy these rods so much that I had to buy everyone of them. The only thing I'd came accross that I had a problem with was that you had to be careful with the tips. As long as you take care of the tips they will not brake on you
From: JC: Stockton, CA
Comments: I got myself a 7'0" H Cumara Reaction for topwater and deep cranking usage. I love the rod, planning on getting another one, if not, then a 7'2" MH. Awesome froggin' rod, strong backbone for strong hook sets......
From: Cher: Wisconsin, USA
Comments:I purchased the CUCX711MH model about half a year ago for light saltwater duties. I must say I'm super impressed with it. I have caught tons of Calico's, Barracuda, Bonito, and even a 25-30lb class White Sea Bass. Friggin' rod handled like a champ! I love throwing 5 inch swimbaits with it, because it does it so well. I also love the fact that I can fish it all day without getting tired. This rod does everything Shimano states. This is my 5th Cumara and it won't be my last.
From:P: Ventura, CA
Comments:I have the 6'3'' Heavy rod and it is great. I use it for many applications but it really is great for topwaters like spooks and sammys.
From:Bobby: Munster, IN
Comments:Got the 6'9 MH model not long ago and broke the rod tip right off on the second use, a highly touted product that failed miserably, far too lightly built, splintered like a dried out twig...not at all happy with Shimano.
From:Zach: Michigan, USA
Comments:Purchased the CUC711M for throwing DD22's and other deep running cranks. The performance of this rod is perfect for this task and it has a nice soft action tip for the classic crankbait sweeping hookset. I would definitely recommend this rod to anyone.
From:Vince: Orange, CA

Doug was employed by ReMax 1st Realty in Marquette as a realtor. He was a member of the Upper Peninsula Association of Realtors, the Kiwanis Club of Marquette and St. Peter Cathedral.
Doug's hobbies included fishing, hunting and camping. He also had a love for cooking, music and being with family and friends. He will most be remembered for his infectious laugh, his sense of humor and his love for life.

Comcast's NBCUniversal Deal Proves Merger Boom
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Comcast(CMCSA) is buying a remaining 49% stake in NBCUniversal from General Electric (GE) for $16.7 billion, in a move that's pushing both companies' shares to new highs.
While the deal shouldn't be a major surprise to investors in either Comcast or GE after both companies first formed the NBCUniversal joint venture in 2009, it does come earlier than expected and raises the value of the venture by $1.6 billion. More importantly, the move and similar large-sized deals may indicate that the boom in corporate mergers is more than a fleeting trend.
Consider that earlier in 2013, Morgan Stanley (MS) surprised investors by announcing a plan to take full control of a similarly structured brokerage joint venture it formed with Citigroup(C) in 2009. The stake buy-ins could also be taken as a sign of growing confidence from acquirers and the improving performance of JV-targets.
Given NBCUniversal's cash flow generation and the cost of financing in current markets, it appears Comcast believes accelerating the JV buy-in could actually deleverage the company in short order.
Meanwhile, Dell(DELL) is in the midst of what could be a post-crisis record leveraged buyout deal -- which could increase in price -- and cable TV conglomerate Liberty Media (LBTYA) recently announced an agreement to buy Virgin Media (VMED) in a stock deal worth roughly $16 billion.
It's no coincidence that C-Suites at the likes of Comcast and Morgan Stanley are eager to take control of ventures cut in the wake of the financial crisis as competitors try to rationalize their operations and deliver shareholders tangible asset value.
Recovering share prices, booming debt markets and an increasing appetite by banks to provide merger or buyout financing appear to be adding fuel to those animal spirits.
In Tuesday's deal, Comcast will be buying up General Electric's 49% stake in the NBCUniversal venture both companies cemented in 2011, while also buying up GE's iconic 30 Rock building and the New Jersey headquarters of CNBC for $1.4 billion. Comcast will fund the deal using $11.4 billion in cash, in addition to debt and the issuance of new stock.
The deal, announced in Comcast's fourth quarter earnings, also comes with strong results from the cable giant that includes a 20% boost to its dividend and an authorization to repurchase $2 billion in stock in 2013.
"I am really pleased to report strong results for the 4th quarter and the full year of 2012 and delighted that we are able to accelerate the acquisition of General Electric's 49% common equity interest in NBCUniversal while also having the financial strength to return capital to shareholders," Brian Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast said in a statement released with earnings.

Popular Garko still learning on the job
Slugger to continue workouts at first base
By Sheldon OckerBeacon Journal sportswriter
WINTER HAVEN, FLA. - Ryan Garko already is an Indians fan favorite, and never mind that he has only one major-league at-bat.
'`I spent the whole offseason in California,'' said Garko on Saturday, pleading ignorance about his popularity.
It was not his sole trip to the plate that endeared Garko to Northeast Ohio baseball partisans. He was called up from Triple-A Buffalo to be an emergency third catcher in September and got his first chance to face big-league pitching against the Kansas City Royals at Jacobs Field.
Garko struck out, ending the competitive part of his season, though he didn't know it at the time.
Nevertheless, every Tribe fan who has not been vacationing at the North Pole knows that Garko has a chance to be the Indians' next big thing.
``I'm going to be there,'' he said after a workout at Chain O' Lakes Park. ``One of my goals is to be an everyday player, not a bench guy.''
Having matriculated at Stanford, Garko was taken in the third round of the 2003 draft and began climbing through the Indians' farm system, making resounding noises with his bat each step of the way. Last year, he reached Triple-A, compiling a .303 average while hitting 19 home runs and amassing 77 RBI in 452 at-bats.
Offense never has been a question mark in the Garko file. It was where to place him in the field. Though he is a career catcher, Garko never was touted as a defensive wizard.
And with the Tribe's No. 1 catcher, Victor Martinez, being both young and talented, there didn't seem to be much reason to keep Garko behind the plate.
First base was the option of choice, and he began playing the position last summer at Buffalo. He continued his education with the Tribe in September and at the Arizona Fall League in October. So how much more time does he have to spend learning to play first?
``He's getting there, and he wants to do it,'' manager Eric Wedge said. ``We wouldn't have asked him to prioritize this way, if we didn't think he could do it.''
In addition to the 30 games he played in Arizona, Garko spent the winter in Southern California, doing agility drills and jumping rope.
``I also lost about 10 pounds,'' he said. ``I was doing all of this stuff to make my feet quicker. I've had plenty of instruction at first. What I need more than anything is innings.''
Garko looks comfortable taking ground balls off a coach's fungo bat, but he is keenly aware of the difference between receiving a pitch and scooping up balls slapped off maple or pine.
``The hardest thing is reading balls off the bat,'' he said. ``I'm used to reading balls out of the pitcher's hand.''
Most fans think it should take a professional baseball player about 45 minutes to learn to play first base. While the position is less demanding than, say, shortstop or catcher, it is not as easy as it looks.
In addition to fielding ground balls and learning to judge high pop flies, a first baseman has to know how far to his right to range for a bouncer, where to position himself for throws from the outfield and when to cover second base or even home plate.
There also is the matter of picking low throws out of the dirt while keeping a toe on the bag and tagging a runner bent on knocking the ball out of the first baseman's glove.
``If you have a bad first baseman, you really notice it, because the other guys start picking up errors,'' Garko said.
Indians officials also have said that Garko is not a finished product at the plate, despite a persistent .300 batting average and obvious power potential in the minors.
``I think the biggest thing I have to learn is the way big-league pitchers work a hitter,'' Garko said. ``Pitch selection is very important.''
At 25, Garko is anxious to begin his major-league career, but he is wise enough to know he can't push it. The Indians will begin the season with a platoon of Ben Broussard and Eduardo Perez at first. That leaves Garko back at Buffalo.
``The worst thing for me would be to come up here and not be ready,'' he said. ``Starting with opening night in April, games in the big leagues speed up a lot.''
Barring an unexpected event during spring training, Garko will wait his turn, but he might not have to wait long.
``I would expect Ryan to be up here sometime during the season,'' Wedge said. ``I just don't know in what role it will be.''
Mr. Versatility
While manager Eric Wedge wants Garko to concentrate on learning first base, he does not want him to forget how to be a catcher.
``Ryan will catch until we start the full camp (position players report),'' Wedge said. ``Once everybody is here, his primary focus will be first.''
Even if Garko becomes the team's everyday first baseman, he can also be the emergency No. 3 catcher.
It appears obvious that Garko will start 06 in Buffalo, working on his D and fine-tuning his swing. When he does get called up, I expect him to replace Perez in the 1B platoon with Broussard.
If Garko hits and plays competent defense, do you think he could take over the 1B duties full-time in 06? Broussard seems to always be on the block, and I have to think that Shapiro will look to move him if Garko plays to his potential this season. I question, however, whether Wedge has the guts to go with a rookie as the full-time 1B on a team with playoff aspirations.

Quinn, Peter
Peter Quinn Banished Children of Eve: A Novel of Civil War New York
Born in 1947, Quinn is an American novelist and speech-writer.
Set in New York during the Civil War, Banished Children of Eve (1994) is an account of the city's economic and racial tensions at the time, which culminated in the bloody Draft Riots of 1863. Started by a predominantly poor Irish mob angry over the imposition of the nation's first military draft, the Riots quickly escalated, lasting five days and resulting in at least 119 deaths. Many of the victims were working-class blacks, largely targeted by the Irish mobs as their primary competition for low-paying jobs. Using an episodic narrative structure and brief character sketches to tell his story, Quinn ultimately offers several suggestions as to why social protest often degrades into naked acts of violent hatred. Kevin Cullen has described Banished Children of Eve as a "compelling, textured account of how those at the bottom inevitably turn on one another rather than join forces to challenge whoever or whatever it is that has kept them down."
Michael O. Garvey (review date 20 March 1994)
SOURCE: "A Historical Novel Nearly Disorienting in Its Authenticity," in The Philadelphia Inquirer, March 20, 1994, p. L2.
[In the following review, Garvey praises Banished Children of Eve, calling it both "vividly imagined" and "scrupulously researched."]
It is an impressive illustration of the power of television advertising that most 18-year-old American boys now submit to the Selective Service system and to the blandishments of MTV with equal docility. The subservience urged and apparently secured by those annoying commercials would amaze and probably disgust their mid-19th-century counterparts.
During the summer of 1863, the nation's first federal conscription law was greeted with riots in towns and cities throughout the Union.
Even among the most enthusiastic supporters of the war effort, a passion for civil liberties overmatched the imperatives of military expediency. New York Gov. Horatio Seymour, in a Fourth of July speech that would haunt him for the rest of his political career—some historians insist that it guaranteed the failure of his presidential bid five years later—warned the administration: "Remember this, that the bloody, and treasonable, and revolutionary, doctrine of public necessity can be proclaimed by a mob as well as by a government."
Nine days later, Manhattan exploded. It took more than a week for Union troops, many of them fresh from the carnage at Gettysburg, to restore order. While it's been established that at least 105 New Yorkers, many of them black victims of lynch mobs, were killed during that week, the riot was surely responsible for some of the dozens of unidentifiable corpses that washed up on both banks of the East River during the rest of July. New York, convulsed by 16 major riots between 1834 and 1874, was that kind of city.

Noel Perrin (review date 27 March 1994)
SOURCE: "On the Sidewalks of New York," in Book World-The Washington Post, March 27, 1994, p. 4.
[Perrin is an American essayist, nonfiction writer, critic, and educator. In the following review of Banished Children of Eve, he praises the novel's "fascinating details about life in New York in 1863," but faults its "lurid" melodrama teeming with "too many characters involved in too many plots."]
Banished Children of Eve is a panoramic novel about New York as it was 140 years ago, during the Civil War. But people who know 19th-century New York from the novels of Henry James or Edith Wharton will not easily recognize the city. A different cast is here.
The book opens in Mike Manning's saloon, in lower Manhattan. A young Irish immigrant named Jimmy Dunne, who has just burgled the downtown branch of Brooks Brothers, is having an early-morning shot of whiskey. From there the scene shifts to the Astor House, where Stephen Foster is downing a morning beer. Now we jump to evening and to a minor theater where a young Irish immigrant named Jack Mulcahey is preparing to go on stage. He's a blackface minstrel.
Soon we're at the muddy site of St. Patrick's Cathedral, which is only half-built. Archbishop Hughes (an Irish immigrant, of course) and Father Corrigan are up on the scaffolding.
By no means all the characters are Irish. Numerous WASPs appear, just as in James and Wharton, but they are seen from a very different angle. Take Bedford, the stockbroker. He begins as a liar, goes on to be a thief, winds up a murderer. Gets away with it, too. When last seen, he has fled to California and has made a second fortune.
There's also Eleanor Van Schaik, scion of one of the oldest and grandest families in New York, and currently a whore. And Sarah Ward, of another fine old family, who...

Peter Quinn with Patricia Harty (interview date March-April 1994)
SOURCE: "An Irish American Unearths His Past," in Irish America Magazine, March-April, 1994, pp. 64, 66.
[In the following interview, Quinn discusses Banished Children of Eve and his identity as an Irish American.]
Irish history, New York history and Civil War history are the three topics that most interest Peter Quinn. Put all three together, add a dollop of fiction, set the stage with a wide range of characters, hold them all together with writing reminiscent of William Faulkner and you have Banished Children of Eve, a novel set in New York in 1863 before and during the draft riots, that is so powerful and colorful and full of history that it is sure to put Quinn, 47, on a course for the rest of his life.
Insiders will know Quinn as the editor of The Recorder, the journal of the American Irish Historical Society, and have been waiting for this novel for years. Other will know him as a speechwriter for Governors Carey and Cuomo and now Time Warner, and may be surprised at his latent talent for novel writing.
Quinn, who wanted to write a novel since he was 12, does not regret the 15 years as a speechwriter, in fact, perhaps there wouldn't be a novel if it wasn't for his day job. "The one thing that you learn being a speechwriter is that you don't wait for the muse to come. If the governor is down the hall you get to it," he says.
Each day as he took the subway in from Brooklyn, to arrive at his workplace two hours early to write, he would look out over South Street where in the years 1845–46 alone 85,000 Irish landed. He would picture his ancestors mingling with the crowd on the dock and wonder what life was really like for them—these banished children seeking to find the promised land.
He considered writing a social history, and whenever he could he would wander around the Lower East Side where his grandmother had lived and worked as a seamstress. As part of the research process he read Adrian Cook's Armies of the Street about the Draft Riots which contained the records of people killed, one of whom was a Peter Quinn: 55-year-old laborer, and "it happened," he says. "In some way the characters came alive and they told me who they were. I didn't start out with a graph and say this is what's going to happen. I started with a general idea that the riot would reveal people—the riot would tell you.
"Writing a novel you have to brood a lot. My daughter would say, 'Daddy are you sad?' And I would say, 'No honey I'm just brooding.' Because I wanted these people to tell me what happens.
"When I first started to do the research I would look at prints and lithographs. And they looked so clean—the dirt and grime wasn't there, and that was something I wanted to bring out in the book. These aren't quaint people. They are as real as we are. With our complexities and our contradictions."
[Harty]: Which of these characters did [you] feel closest to?
[Quinn]: Maybe Margaret.
Is she an ancestor?
Margaret is a combination of different people. I wanted her to be earthy, and the earthy side of my family is my mother's side. My father's side were all rural puritans. The women were much more capable of talking about sexuality than men.
There's a subtle but powerful moment in the book when Margaret is called Brigid by the man of the house, and she says, "It's Margaret, sir. Me name."
That's the ultimate contempt. It's not that the rich look down on them—it's that they are not there—the faceless poor.
Walt Whitman used the term invisible man about the blacks. And you see references in the 19th century to Irish maids as Brigids, that's the name they gave them, and there's terrible contempt in there.
So really the Irish and the blacks have a lot in common?
Yes. I think they have an incredible amount in common. In the 1830s the Irish were almost all rural people, peasants. Fifty years later when you are talking about urban machines in the United States you are talking about the Irish. There was this tremendous transfer from the land to the city in a kind of panic, and the same thing happened...

[In the following positive review, Crowley describes Banished Children of Eve as "the mature fruit of protracted labor."]
There are two readers for any historical novel: the one who knows well the history on which it is based and the one who doesn't. Some novels depend for their effect on the reader's knowledge; some are spoiled by it.

[In the following review, Cullen offers praise for Banished Children of Eve, calling it "a compelling, textured account."]
When Irish-Americans sit down to write fiction about their forebears, they tend to produce romantic epics, chronicling how their ancestors overcame overwhelming odds, poverty and oppression to prosper in the New World. They are comfortable books, warm respites.
Peter Quinn's first novel, Banished Children of Eve, is like a January dip in the Liffey or, more appropriately, New York's East River, on whose...

[In the following review, Bass commends Quinn for his "pungent style, refusal to romanticize and affinity for historical details."]
When most of us try to conjure up images of Civil War-era New York, we think of ornate drawing rooms populated by ladies in voluminous gowns and urbane, frock-coated men puffing on cigars. Banished Children of Eve, Peter Quinn's exceptional debut novel, presents the far more earthy New York of yesteryear. According to him, it was a grotesquely primitive and savage place or, as the book itself puts it, "a vast nether world of poverty,...

[Emerson]: A hundred and thirty years ago tomorrow, a mob of New Yorkers, mostly Irish, hung a black man from a lamppost and cheered for Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy. After the cops cut the corpse down, it was dragged by the genitals through the streets of New York. How could this have happened?

A mass of sweating angry men storm New York City's summer streets, breaking windows and stealing property, murdering people with different skin colors and beating others whose clothing suggests middle-class comfort.

[In the following review, Bartelme offers a favorable assessment of Banished Children of Eve.]
Irish history, like the history of the Jewish people, embraces diaspora, exile, suffering, and a vision of the promised land. In his remarkable first novel, Peter Quinn, chief speechwriter for Time Warner, brings a new and formidable talent to the chronicling of Irish wanderings and their outcome. Although the emphasis of the book is on the Irish experience in nineteenth-century New York, Quinn goes beyond it to include on a broader canvas the entire sweep of a history steeped in the...

[In the following review, Hennessy commends Banished Children of Eve, claiming that the novel "marks a new voice in the annals of Irish literacy."]
To those who hold history as an uncompromising and sacred art, Peter Quinn's novel, structured around local incidents in the history of New York City during the Civil War, adds a new and surprising dimension. While literary ability has frequently found its source of fiction in history, Quinn's book deserves special recognition as a historical pathfinder. In essence, he appears to have followed in the...

[In the following mixed review of Banished Children of Eve, Walsh argues that Quinn is not entirely successful handling the vastness of his narrative and the large number of characters.]
The lonely farmer's wife, in Peter Quinn's novel [Banished Children of Eve], who seduces a young Irish orphan from New York sent to the cold western prairies for moral reeducation, shares with him her tantalized imaginings of the distant city: "My husband says it's a wicked place, noisy, dirty, impious. Says that most of the people don't work, live off politics and that...

Mast momentFebruary 17, 2014 by Tim McAdams
A rigid (or sometimes called hinge-less) rotor system is capable of transmitting high bending forces to the main rotor shaft. When a pilot makes a cyclic movement causing the main rotor disc to tilt, the fuselage wants to follow. In flight, with a rigid rotor the mast bending moment is low. However, when the fuselage is in contact with the ground and cannot follow the main rotor disc the bending moment can be very high.
This type of rotor system is used on the helicopters designed and built by the German manufacturer MBB (now Airbus Helicopters). Because large cyclic displacements on the ground have the potential to damage the mast assembly, a mast moment indicator (MMI) is installed. The gauge is a single dimension indicator that shows the total moment being applied to the mast. When the gauge reads high, the pilot has to figure out what direction to move the cyclic to reduce the mast moment. Over time, experience makes knowing how to keep the mast moment low a natural reaction, however, pilots new to these types of helicopters would have to be very careful not to exceed the limit. Recently, to help reduce any possible confusion a new style gauge has been developed. It is two dimensional (using a circle instead of a straight line) which makes knowing the correct direction to move the cyclic control easier.
Normal pick-ups and set-downs require care as to not exceed the limits on the MMI. Generally, this is not difficult. However, slope landings and running landings can be more challenging. In these situations, the pilot needs to be comfortable with the MMI being close to limits and making very small cyclic adjustments. If a limit is exceeded, the amount (in percentage) and duration dictate how extensive an inspection or repair will be.
