- Brief Synopsis:
- Tavi and his companions encounter the Vord in the Canum homeland. Isana must negotiate a truce with the icemen and Gaius sends Bernard and Amara to spy on the Vord that have invaded Alera.
- Long Synopsis:
- In the acclaimed Codex Alera novels, New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher has created a fascinating world in which the people of Alera use their unique bonds with the elementals of nature for protection. Tavi of Calderon, now recognized as Princeps Gaius Octavian and heir to the Crown, has achieved a fragile alliance with Alera's oldest foes, the savage Canim. After a year of armistice, their occupation of Alera's shores has ended. But when Tavi and his Legions guide the Canim safely to their lands, his worst fears are realized. The dreaded Vord-the enemy of Aleran and Cane alike-have spent the last three years laying waste to the Canim homeland. And when the Alerans are cut off from their ships, they find themselves trapped alongside their former enemies-with no choice but to fight shoulder to shoulder if they are to survive. Meanwhile, after the destruction of the city and High Lord of Kalare, war-torn Alera struggles to rebuild-while politicians and nobles maneuver for power. But from the south comes news of death and devastation unlike any have ever known-for the Vord have come to Alera. For a thousand years, Alera and her furies have withstood every enemy and survived every foe. The thousand years are over...

It was mission accomplished for the Brumbies after bagging a 30-13 Super Rugby win over the Rebels to remain unbeaten this season.
It was mission accomplished for the Brumbies after bagging a 30-13 Super Rugby win over the Rebels to remain unbeaten in this year's tournament.
The visitors bagged the all-important bonus point in the process at AAMI Park, consolidating their position at the top of the Australian conference.
Whilst the Brumbies were deserved and comfortable winners, they didn't have it all their way in the first half and trailed the Rebels 13-12 at half-time.
However, Jake White's troops did well to keep the Rebels scoreless after the break as they posted 18 unanswered points and simply got better and better as the match wore on.
The men from the capital got off to a flying start though, when full-back Jesse Mogg continued his try-scoring antics from last week and touched down after chasing his kick ahead. Centre Christian Lealiifano added the tricky extras.
The Rebels responded well though and made a game of it for the remainder of the half, with James O'Connor providing eight points from the tee and flank Scott Higginbotham running in his first try for the Melbourne side.
However, the Brumbies were celebrating their sceond try when wing Clyde Rathbone's five-pointer cut the deficit to just one point after the former Wallaby flier finishing superbly in the corner. Lealiifano failed to convert.
Lealiifano, who struggled last weekend with the boot, managed to raise the flags after the interval with two penalties to give the visitors the lead.
Brumbies skipper Ben Mowen then put the result beyond doubt when gathered a high ball from Matt Toomua when Alex Rokobaro failed to gather and showed impressive pace to race in untouched for a converted try.
And when Rebels replacement Jarrod Saffy was shown a yellow card with 12 minutes remaining, the home crowd could sense a first defeat of the season for their team.
This was confirmed when replacement back Robbie Coleman burrowed over after a sustained spell of pressure on the Rebels line to seal the win and bag the bonus point.
The scorers:
For Rebels:
Try: Higginbotham
Con: O'Connor
Pens: O'Connor 2
For Brumbies:
Tries: Mogg, Rathbone, Mowen, Coleman
Cons: Lealiifano 2

Most programs try to make printing simple: you simply click the print button and the document glides out of your printer a few moments later. But what if it doesn't print the way you want it to?
For example, perhaps you print a photo (taken with the camera level upright) on your printer.
But the printer prints the photo on the top half of the paper and leaves the lower half of the page blank.
But what if the photo was turned 90 degrees on the paper, so it could also utilize the other (lower) half of the paper? It certainly would be a better fit.
This is where page orientation is important. Most programs let you choose portrait (tall) or landscape (wide).
In many Windows programs, page orientation can be set before printing by clicking "File" then "Page Setup."
It's important to note, however, that page orientation doesn't change the way the paper is placed into the printer, only how the printer behaves when printing.

Skip to comments.Creation evangelist derides evolution as dumbest theory [Kent Hovind Alert!]
Posted on 12/17/2005 3:58:48 AM PST by PatrickHenry
A former high school science teacher turned creation science evangelist told an audience at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee last Tuesday that evolution is the dumbest and most dangerous theory on planet Earth.
Kent Hovind, founder of Creation Science Evangelism, presented Creation or Evolution Which Has More Merit? to a standing-room only audience in the Union Ballroom on Dec. 6. The event was sponsored by the Apologetics Association, the organization that brought Baptist minister Tim Wilkins to UWM to speak about homosexuality in October.
Members of the Apologetics Association (AA) contacted biology, chemistry and geology professors at UWM and throughout the UW System, inviting them to debate Hovind for an honorarium of $200 to be provided to the individual or group of individuals who agreed.
Before the event began, the No-Debater List, which was comprised of slides listing the names of UWM science professors who declined the invitation, was projected behind the stage.
Dustin Wales, AA president, said it was his biggest disappointment that no professor agreed to debate Hovind.
No professor wanted to defend his side, he said. I mean, we had seats reserved for their people cause I know one objection could have been Oh, its just a bunch of Christians. So we had seats reserved for them to bring people to make sure that its somewhat more equal, not just all against one. And still nobody would do it.
Biology professor Andrew Petto said: It is a pernicious lie that the Apologetics (Association) is spreading that no one responded to the challenge. Many of us (professors) did respond to the challenge; what we responded was, No, thank you.
Petto, who has attended three of Hovinds performances, said that because Hovind presents misinterpretations, half truths and outright lies, professors at UWM decided not to accept his invitation to a debate.
In a nutshell, debates like this do not settle issues of scientific understanding, he said. Hovind and his arguments are not even in the same galaxy as legitimate scientific discourse. This is why the faculty here has universally decided not to engage Hovind. The result would be to give the appearance of a controversy where none exists.
He added, The faculty on campus is under no obligation to waste its time supporting Hovinds little charade.
Hovind, however, is used to being turned down. Near the end of his speech, he said, Over 3,000 professors have refused to debate me. Why? Because Im not afraid of them.
Hovind began his multimedia presentation by asserting that evolution is the dumbest and most dangerous theory used in the scientific community, but that he is not opposed to science.
Our ministry is not against science, but against using lies to prove things, he said. He followed this statement by citing biblical references to lies, which were projected onto screens behind him.
Hovind said: I am not trying to get evolution out of schools or to get creation in. We are trying to get lies out of textbooks. He added that if removing lies from textbooks leaves no evidence for evolutionists theory, then they should get a new theory.
He cited numerous state statutes that require that textbooks be accurate and up-to-date, but said these laws are clearly not enforced because the textbooks are filled with lies and are being taught to students.
Petto said it is inevitable that textbooks will contain some errors.
Sometimes, this is an oversight. Sometimes it is the result of the editorial and revision process. Sometimes it is the result of trying to portray a rich and complex idea in a very few words, he said.
The first lie Hovind presented concerned the formation of the Grand Canyon. He said that two people can look at the canyon. The person who believes in evolution would say, Wow, look what the Colorado River did for millions and millions of years. The Bible-believing Christian would say, Wow, look what the flood did in about 30 minutes.
To elaborate, Hovind discussed the geologic column the chronologic arrangement of rock from oldest to youngest in which boundaries between different eras are marked by a change in the fossil record. He explained that it does not take millions of years to form layers of sedimentary rock.
You can get a jar of mud out of your yard, put some water in it, shake it up, set it down, and it will settle out into layers for you, he said. Hovind used this concept of hydrologic sorting to argue that the biblical flood is what was responsible for the formation of the Grand Canyons layers of sedimentary rock.
Hovind also criticized the concept of micro-evolution, or evolution on a small, species-level scale. He said that micro-evolution is, in fact, scientific, observable and testable. But, he said, it is also scriptural, as the Bible says, They bring forth after his kind.
Therefore, according to the Bible and micro-evolution, dogs produce a variety of dogs and they all have a common ancestor a dog.
Hovind said, however, Charles Darwin made a giant leap of faith and logic from observing micro-evolution into believing in macro-evolution, or evolution above the species level. Hovind said that according to macro-evolution, birds and bananas are related if one goes back far enough in time, and the ancestor ultimately was a rock.
He concluded his speech by encouraging students to personally remove the lies from their textbooks and parents to lobby their school board for accurate textbooks.
Tear that page out of your book, he said. Would you leave that in there just to lie to the kids?
Petto said Hovind believes the information in textbooks to be lies because his determination is grounded in faith, not science.
Make no mistake, this is not a determination made on the scientific evidence, but one in which he has decided on the basis of faith alone that the Bible is correct, and if the Bible is correct, then science must be wrong, he said.
Petto said Hovind misinterprets scientific information and then argues against his misinterpretation.
That is, of course, known as the straw man argument great debating strategy, but nothing to do with what scientists actually say or do, he said. The bottom line here is that the science is irrelevant to his conclusions.
Another criticism of Hovinds presentation is his citation of pre-college textbooks. Following the event, an audience member said, I dont think using examples of grade school and high school biology can stand up to evolution.
Petto called this an interesting and effective rhetorical strategy and explained that Hovind is not arguing against science, but the textbook version of science.
The texts are not presenting the research results of the scientific community per se, but digesting and paraphrasing it in a way to make it more effective in learning science, he said. So, what (Hovind) is complaining about is not what science says, but what the textbooks say that science says.
Petto said this abbreviated version of scientific research is due, in part, to the editorial and production processes, which impose specific limits on what is included.
He added that grade school and high school textbooks tend to contain very general information about evolution and pressure from anti-evolutionists has weakened evolutionary discussion in textbooks.
Lower-level texts tend to be more general in their discussions of evolution and speak more vaguely of change over time and adaptation and so on, he said. Due to pressure by anti-evolutionists, textbook publishers tend to shy away from being too evolutionary in their texts The more pressure there is on schools and publishers, the weaker the evolution gets, and the weaker it gets, the more likely that it will not do a good job of representing the current consensus among biologists.
Hovind has a standing offer of $250,000 for anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution. According to Hovinds Web site, the offer demonstrates that the hypothesis of evolution is nothing more than a religious belief.
The Web site, www.drdino.com, says, Persons wishing to collect the $250,000 may submit their evidence in writing or schedule time for a public presentation. A committee of trained scientists will provide peer review of the evidence offered and, to the best of their ability, will be fair and honest in their evaluation and judgment as to the validity of the evidence presented.
Wales said the AAs goal in bringing Hovind to UWM was to crack the issue on campus and bring attention to the fallibility of evolution.
The ultimate goal was to say that, Gosh, evolution isnt as concrete as you say it is, and why do you get to teach everyone this non-concrete thing and then not defend it when someone comes and says your wrong? he said. Its just absurd.
You know my argument by now, so why continue to show you absolute ignorance of it?
Or maybe you do this just to show your arrogance?
And I missed it.
I second the motion to debate Hovind online. The debate thread could be closed to all but Hovind and a couple of FReepers.
Results would be locked for everyone to see forever.
..And just because *you're* sadly duped into believing such cultist B.S. doesn't mean it's evidence for anything.
Do even *you* believe this stuff that spews out of your brain?
And whether do you do or not, do you *really* believe that anyone is going to mistake your bizarre rant for an adequate rebuttal to the enormous amount of hard evidence contained in the link you're trying to blow off?
What's wrong with you folks? Do you find reality that hard to take a good look at?
A tornado will assemble a 747 in a junkyard long before Hovind will agree to a written debate. He's strictly a razzle-dazzle flim-flam man.
National Geographic and RD? *more sigh*
I think we should issue the challenge every day.
FR has several million unique visitors per week.
Show me a fish evolving to a man right now, and I might believe your stupid ass theory...
BELIEVE is the key word there for both you and I. The only difference I state my theory as a belief, your ilk tries to state BELIEF as fact, and I don't buy it and apparently neither does the majority of people, at least honest people.
Here's some reality. You'll probably appreciate this fellow (other folks might not). I think he's a handsome lad!

So, in the meantime I'll presume you were just just making stuff up in post #440 when you said "some of the premises of the original TOE have been debunked".
your ilk
Based on previous readings on these threads, I'm beginning to think that 'ilk' is an insult.
You can't possibly be as dumb as you pretend or else you wouldn't be capable of typing...
Now there's a true classic! It's going into the list.
Sure, presume away...
Show me an existing roman civilisation is full fling right now and I *might* just believe that such a thing ever happened.
Is it the contention of all you evolutionist that just because I've had something explained to me that mean I should just automatically belive in the cult of evolution?
I've "explain" alot of things to evolutionist too...Obviously you don't believe you're being duped by a huge lie?
This little gem does dempnstrate the power of Hollywood to generate negative intelligence in its customers.
And I forgot to add that your quote editing is to be admired as much as your presuming.
Show me a fish evolving to a man right now, and I might believe your stupid ass theory...
Make note of the qualifier 'might'. This implies continuing skepticism even in the event that what is proposed was observed. Which in turn implies an idiot.
It can be called whatever you like, still parading it as FACT is a lie.
In the early days of NTN, "ilk" was on the list of forbidden names and I have always wondered just how stupid those people were who were so incapable of consulting a dictionary.
You know my argument by now, so why continue to show you absolute ignorance of it?
Actually, the fact that he's aware that you haven't got any actual argument to present shows that he *is* quite familiar with your material.
This looks like a good spot for a placemarker.
Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish. -- Timothy Jones
If we watched "a fish evolving to a man right now," you would no doubt, and with good reason, declare that as evidence of a great miracle, and it would no doubt throw into doubt many accepted ideas in evolutionary science. It would be (the first) evidence for Intelligent Design.
That's why evo is such a ridiculous theory! God says let there be LIGHT, but they don't buy that, but they'll believe SOMETHING exploded from NOTHING?
These same people who champion the theory would be the first ones to decry any halftruth in any other field!
They're duped with a little bit of truth that makes this illusion of evolution...and those are the most intellegent ones, it's really sad.
No need. The pure quote is sufficient.
Show me a fish evolving to a man right now, and I might believe your stupid ass theory....
Yes, the same way evolutionist shouldn't LIE about THEORY being equal with FACT.
No, we merely expect you to be able to learn something from the explanations.
Sadly, even in that modest expectation, we are repeatedly disappointed.
New information you choose not to accept -- no matter how well established or sourced -- merely bounces off your forehead with a sharp "ping", and leaves no trace of its passage. (A classic example of Morton's Demon in action.) Meanwhile, anything you want to believe, no matter how goofy, gets swallowed uncritically as gospel.
It is necessary to keep lies as short as possible, directly linked to an appeal to emotion and to move on to a different lie as seamlessly as possible. If the audience is allowed to dwell on the lie for any more than a few seconds, they may develop questions that will expose the lie.
Your poor understanding of the Big Bang is as bad as your misunderstandings about most other topics. The Big Bang neither involved an "explosion", or something coming from "nothing". Try learning some physics before you attempt to critique it.
These same people who champion the theory would be the first ones to decry any halftruth in any other field!
Indeed, which is why we decry halftruths (and "notruths") in creationism as well. Thanks for noticing.
It's all interesting, especially when I think I'm debating intellegent people who will just not THINK about what they believe.
I have no problem with people believing in evolution, but not at the expence of them touting it as fact. Also, Hovind gives just as logical explanation for life as any evolutinist I've ever heard...The problem is evo's can't stand the compitition.
We don't. We're well aware of the difference between the two. However, it's no contradiction to say that Evolution is a Fact and a Theory.
"OK what are they?"
"Do your own research"
...but at least I'll hold onto some logic!!
Unfortunately being logical is hardly the sole requirement for a scientific explaination. The whole scientology Xenu story is logical for example, but it's hardly a scientific explaination.
every time they do, they lose.
They would rather scream and yell and hide behind the status quo
...hateful atheists ...
(The worst kind of atheists, no doubt). Wrong. Congratulations. You're batting .000
The ToE does not say that any organism from one Class would ever evolve into an organism from another Class in one generation. I believe you know this. You simply create this strawman because you have no ammunition when it comes to attacking an accurate version of the ToE.
When scientists collect evidence from a dozen different fields of science that fit in with a theory it is hardly just a belief. In my opinion, you are insisting on calling it a belief in order to bring it down to the level you consider your own beliefs to be.
You know, we've been wondering where cousin Erg went for a long time. Had we known he was visiting Africa, we would have taken his picture off the milk carton a long time ago.

Posted on 11/05/2013 8:49:24 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
Sixteen-point drop to -35 is sharpest in any month since Gallup Daily tracking began...
Americans' confidence in the U.S. economy sank for the month of October amid the partial U.S. government shutdown and partisan bickering over the federal debt limit.....
(Excerpt) Read more at gallup.com ...
Gallup, you really need to find more credible writers for your Obama Cult propaganda.
Looked her up, she's based in DC.
If you visit DC or NoVa, the world is a beautiful place.
Life is good there.
Ted Cruz's fault.
Absolutely "bubbly", if you get my drift.
And the denizens there are in denial about the eventual popping of that bubble.
Duh?...Thanks Obama!
Bush's fault!
I've sent several youngsters from here in the Midwest down to DC.
They start at jobs in low 6 figures.
They do complain about the cost of homes and the traffic.
But it a lot better than working at Target or Home Depot here.
OBAMACARE, the gift that will just keep on giving.
Obamacare is going to have a negative affect on Christmas sales.
Dallas/Fort Worth is an opportunity laden area. Homes are reasonable, and traffic has gotten better, though there's a few pockets where traffic jams up during rush hour.
It will flat-out kill them. Everyone getting a cancellation notice will have to budget in the increases to pay for Obama's freeloaders.
Designed by Liberals.
One news item that has appears to be kept quiet might be the decrease in optional consumer spending even in N. Californicator land.
Starting about 2 weeks ago, my wife and a few friends have seen a decrease of customers where discretional income is spent:
For example: Medium $ to Upscale restaurants during lunch hours. Hair saloons, fingernail/toenail spas, coffee break time at the $4/cup places, and the upscale grocery stores.
Apparently, Halloween spending was trending down, and I have yet to see any articles noting that. However, a very reliable site was projecting a fair sized downward trend of spending:
Halloween Spending and Retail Buying Trends 2013 - 2005 - Sales Predictions
Halloween will not be a treat for U.S. retailers, according to the annual Halloween Spending Survey conducted by the National Retail Federation (NRF). In every way that consumers increased their Halloween spending in 2012, they intend to decrease it in 2013, according to the 2013 Halloween spending survey. If consumer spending actually matches consumer intentions, retailers will be ringing $1 billion less in sales in the month of October. It is worth noting that this survey was completed long before the U.S. government shutdown spooked consumers, so Halloween sales numbers will likely be even scarier when retailers are counting up their 2013 Halloween loot.
How about the negative impact re the reality of the real costs of ObozoscamScare.
Look at the pre Black Friday ads by major retail companies and their pushing of lay away plans. If they weren't concerned, they wouldn't be spending a ton of TV ad money on pre Black Friday ads and Christmas lay away plans.
She should read this:
Ludwig von Mises, SOCIALISM
This is the classic refutation.
For the Leftists "The Shutdown" has replaced "Bush".
You're right.
Consumer confidence is dropping like a rock.
(just napping)
Do you think not knowing what ObamaCare is going to cost (or do knowing what ObamaCare is going to cost) is going to drive Christmas spending down. Do you think Retail stores are going to think about this when they do their seasonal hiring?
This news is racist.
People found out in October that they are going to be without hundreds of dollars each month because Obamacare ain't free. Even lotto sales will suffer.
Do you mean that recent college grads are starting at $100K+ for government jobs in DC?
I have almost all of his works. Human Action was another masterpiece. It convinced me that his intellect was equal to Einstein's. A true genius.
It was von Mises who opened Hayek's eyes to the Captialism.
A lot of other sales too. Folks who've just found out that that'll be paying $700/month for health insurance instead of the $350 a month they previously paid are far less likely to be shopping for a new set of wheels, taking expensive vacations, dining out three times a week, etc. Expect inventories at car dealerships to grow, occupancy rates at hotels to dip and restaurant sales as well and so on. All completely unexpected, of course. We'll be back in full-fledged recession by January or February 2014 (if indeed we ever left the last one). The only silver lining in this dark cloud: It may be enough to cause the scales to drop from the eyes of the LIV's who voted for the Moron-in-Chief and his Dem henchmen. Next November will be very ugly for the Dems.
With the abject failure of obamacare, maybe a majority now realizes that children are running the show. (We FReepers knew that since 2009.)
Doesn't this depend on the moxie of the "low information voters?"
Most of them are enjoying the bliss of Obama induced ignorance!!!
Next November will be very ugly for the Dems.
I agree if the Republicans don't screw it up.
BTW, this Obamacare disaster might kill Immigration Reform.
"It's Bush's Fault"- Not this time.
Most of them are enjoying the bliss of Obama induced ignorance!!!
They've been dumbed down since way before Obama.
Obama was enjoying that ignorant bliss but this time he's going to get bit on the azz.
This economy is literally a house of cards.
Not govt, govt contractors.
These aren't chumps, they are Big 10 grads with Masters degrees.
I have most definitely cut back. I just found out I'm going to have to pay 957$ per month under ObamaCare.
I was planning a new car purchase this month, a fully loaded kia soul. Now thats out of the question.
And Obamacare is one big electric fan.
I suspect yes, just to what degree. Those knowingly effected by Obamacare (individual plans)will scale back. Of course that is a relatively small portion of the population. Over the next 4 weeks Employer based health plans will get released with the new rates, they certainly aren't going to be cheaper. So depending on that will determine how ugly Christmas spending will be.
"This economy is literally a house of cards"
Yep, the Fed is clueless and the Stock market at some point sooner than later will see a DOT Com / 2008 type correction. Of course the retail Investors will get hit the hardest, The Big Boys will survive if not get completely bailed out.
Yep...It's coming...
And BTW, you're correct about the big boys...The little ones are going to get beat like a drum.
I am on Disabled Social Security and before I am called a freeloader let me say I was one of those pulling the cart for 50 years before I became disabled.
I have read and believe that obozo has pulled 750 billion from Medicare and Medicare Advantage and therefore I will be paying more for medical care and drugs. I have applied for jobs and am cutting back any expenses I can. So it also applies to me and I don't like.
I am also raising more hell then a pet ape with my socalled reps and senators though I know it is doing no good.
May the people that did this burn in hell.
It pretty much is Bush's fault. If he wouldn't have been a complete moron, Obama wouldn't have been elected.
Here in NJ many of those businesses saw business start to drop off with the financial meltdown in 2007/2008, and they haven't recovered (many have closed). There are not enough people with discretionary dollars to keep restaurants, bars, etc. open; the only people better off than 5 years ago are the public employees that survived the layoffs we've had, and there simply aren't enough of them.
Most Americans seem reduced to buying staples, and if they are buying anything else they'll visit Craigslist before they go to the mall. Now our malls are reduced to cell phone kiosks and tattoo parlors...
"The only silver lining in this dark cloud: It may be enough to cause the scales to drop from the eyes of the LIV's who voted for the Moron-in-Chief and his Dem henchmen. Next November will be very ugly for the Dems."
We can only hope...
Life may be good there if you are the sort to fit in there. I would rather live in the backwoods myself.
"(if indeed we ever left the last one)."
We never really did, real life is often very different from official reports. It doesn't even have to be intentional, I have seen managers reading internal reports in businesses and making decisions based on the "information" contained when in reality they knew less after reading the report than they did before reading it. I doubt that I have ever seen a report that contained as much reliable information as people imagined it contained.
If I had to pay that for insurance EATING would be out of the question.
Her and her ilk will be trying the same thing here shortly when the October jobs report comes out.
"Here in NJ many of those businesses saw business start to drop off with the financial meltdown in 2007/2008, and they havent recovered (many have closed). There are not enough people with discretionary dollars to keep restaurants, bars, etc. open; the only people better off than 5 years ago are the public employees that survived the layoffs weve had, and there simply arent enough of them."
Here in wino country, we have still have blocks of small mom and pop stores that were closed due to the meltdown, now serving as free art galleries with no one wanting to open up a downtown store nor wanting to fight the liberals re what businesses they want to see versus a business that can stand on its feet due to real customers and their demand.
The melt down has had a paradox impact here. People will come up here to taste good wine and eat in 4 and 5 star restaurants and stay in plush hotels for a couple of nights, because they can't afford the 1-3 week vacations/cruises they used to go on.
People with money from Texas, NY, Asia and Canada are buying homes or bidding on them paying cash for them. As a result many if not most of the property values here are higher than they were before the meltdown. Some of the new comers will be year round residents and many will be here during the good climate months.
These new cash home buyers are creating an economic boom re contractors, bath room/kitchen remodelers, new carpet/tile sellers and other redoing providers. Most good contractors and re doers are booked up for months. This has created a boom in refinancing for the banks, savings and loans and even the money lenders associated with Indian Casinos.
Re malls, many out here have become a place where dropouts and not the nicest teens hang out. Many cruise the parking lots looking for cars to break into. They wait until someone puts stuff in the trunks or vehicles and go back into the mall. Then, the undesirables break into the vehicles and loot them. You use a smart phone in the malls, their parking lots and other bay areas and act like an atm.
We haven't been in a mall since the meldown. We are not alone, and that has created a market of new stores/chains moving into upgraded or new shopping centers. These shopping centers have parking lots patrolled by local cops and rent a cops.
As a result of the above, our city has a surplus of tax money versus expenses for the first year since the meltdown.
However, what we are recently seeing since the Obozo Care mess, is a definite lack of locals in the medium to good restaurants for lunch and shorter dinner hours due to fewer customers. Then, the zillion little so called beauty spas seem to really be hurting. Their business again depends on locals having disposable income..
So apparently even in an area where the melt down impact is basically gone, we may be seeing the beginning of a new meltdown from the negative financial impact of ObozoCare.

Mama mia! Life with two elementary school-aged kids is tough! But beautiful shining moments between the times of frustrations make it absolutely worth it!
Monday, January 19, 2009
But now, there is a new thing taking my time... I joined Facebook. I did it. I refused to join for a very long time because I knew it would just eat up my time. But my sister's been bugging me for years to get on. Then my best friend and some others close to me got. The final straw was that my sister started telling me about the word games that you can play against your friends and online. I loves me some word games.
So now, I'm completely addicted. And it has been great. I've found old friends, coworkers and even acquaintances who I'd lost touch with. Although an ex-boyfriend sent me a friend request, but that is easily ignored.
But mostly, I've found really fun word games. The time I usually spend writing posts and reading and commenting on other blogs is getting completely sucked away. One time suck getting sucked away by another.
So today's question of the week is:
What is your biggest time suck?
I don't mean work or sleep or family stuff. That time is your life. But there are those activities that we get into and tune out the rest of the world, that we choose to do in any free time we have. Those are time sucks. Which are yours?

Facebook didn't appeal to me much. I'm on it, but I don't spend much time there. I like it because you can "friend" someone you knew way back when as a way to say "huh, you're still alive," and then go on with your life.
Digg.com on the other hand. I'm getting better about not spending hours a day on Digg. I used to be that way on my artwork, that was at least productive. . . I need to get back to that.

When I first joined it a couple months back, Facebook was a big time suck. The last couple of weeks, with being a bit down and all, not so much. Blogs. Fora. Knitting. Don't have time for much else right now, I have a baby that crawls better every time she sees cats to chase!

Facebook for me too! (wanna friend me? My real name is in my email, if you get to see it). And also general netsurfing, and blogs especially.

Don't worry about Facebook being a time suck for long. After you find all your initial long lost friends it tends to take up a lot less of your time.
My latest time suck happens to be Big Fish games. Ironically, I like the time management games. Yeah, I waste my time by managing little fake people running Dairy Queens... oh that is so much sadder in print.
- January 19, 2009 at 3:24 PM
The biggest time suck is the INternet for me but without it I would lose my mind I think. I need it to help me cope with my kids...a 2 year old and and infant. And yes Facebook is another one, but that one falls in the category of the Internet. There is nothing else I even have the time to waste time on!!! The irony...

Yeah, Facebook sucked time away from my blog as well. So has T.V. lately. Even though the shows I usually watch aren't back yet (except The Office and 30 Rock), we've been watching Top Chef, Man vs. Wild, Intervention and other "reality" shows.

lately facebook as well but also I've become totally re-addicted to watching Alias on DVD. I'm almost done, about a third of the way through the 4th season. I've started having spy themed dreams so that should really tell me something.

facebook too! I don't play games on there, but just seeing what's up takes a chunk of time. That and reading science fiction.

My biggest time-suck I think is just life.
Family keeps me hopping. There's always someone who needs attention, something that needs cleaning, meals to be prepared, appointments to be made and driven to...
When I have free time from that, I try to get schooling or certifications in.
And when I have free time from that, our old house always needs work.

Welcome to the latest edition of "Spring Review." Today, we'll take a look at the tight ends and tell you who came out ahead, who needs more work and what you can expect for the start of fall camp.
Believe it or not, tight end was actually a position of great concern for the Northern Illinois coaching staff entering spring football. They were worried about depth and how the younger players would respond with more reps.
As a group, the tight ends came through with improvement in noticeable areas. Some improved their blocking, others their route running and others their hands. The challenge for the fall will be putting a tight end on the field that can do all of those things successfully. At this point, NIU doesn't have that, but a few players are close.
Most improved: Jason Schepler
Schepler has taken tremendous strides over the past few months and should see an increase in playing time if that continues over the summer.
He stated early on in camp that he wanted to become a better blocker, and the sophomore had about a weeklong stretch where he blocked everything in sight. Schepler produced one of the memorable moments of camp when he pancake blocked defensive end Brandon Bice and finished the block all the way through a long running play. His route running and catching ability have improved from below average to average.
Need to see more: Bryan Beckner
Beckner, a junior, came out of nowhere to have a pretty solid camp. I like how he can create a little bit of separation and finds ways to get open. He also made a few pretty nice catches in the last couple weeks of camp.
What I'll have my eye on in the fall is if he can do it again. Fall camp, when jobs are really on the line, is a different animal from spring ball. Beckner can work his way onto the two-deep with another good set of practices, but needs to improve as a blocker to do so.
Huskie Wire post-spring depth chart:
Reed Cunningham (senior) OR Jason Schepler (sophomore)
Dan Edem (redshirt freshman)
Bryan Beckner (junior)
Jack Marks (sophomore)
Incoming recruits: Nick Groeniger

Third Graders Continue Farm Studies with Trip To NH Farm Museum
three-day farm field trip at Wolf's Neck Farm in Freeport, Maine, last friday, third graders at Seacoast Waldorf School paid a visit to the New Hampshire Farm Museum. The New Hampshire Farm Museum sits on two adjoining farmsteads situated on 50 acres located on Plummer's Ridge in Milton, New Hampshire. There, the children had the opportunity to learn about three centuries of farm life in New Hampshire. The morning was spent meeting the chicken, goats, sheep and pigs on the farm and exploring the historic Jones house and tavern, followed by a tour of the three-story barn filled with an incredible assortment of farm tools, wagons and sleighs. The third graders also helped grind the corn to feed the chickens and churned cream to make butter. Farming and gardening, along with arithmetic, language arts, measurement, shelter and house building, German and Spanish, and music and the arts, is a core focus for Waldorf third graders. In learning how the gardener and the farmer live and work, students learn how animals and humans depend upon the earth's soil and how they make best use of it throughout the yearly cycle of seed, to plant, to food, to compost, then back to seed . Following the experiential learning offered in field trips to NH Farm Museum and Wolf's Neck Farm, the third graders will take their practical knowledge back to their outdoor classroom at Seacoast Waldorf School and, this coming Spring, will plant an array of organically-grown vegetables in the school's raised garden beds. This fall, Seacoast Waldorf School students harvested eggplants, potatoes, kale, tomatoes, squash and more. Once the crop was ready for harvest, the vegetables were shared by all students and used in each of the classrooms for a weekly pot of Stone Soup.On the heels of last month's

Welcome to the Bureau of Land Management Gunnison Field Office, which manages more than 611,000 acres of stunning high altitude scenery in southwest Colorado.
Sagebrush shrublands merge with Pine, Fir and Aspen woodlands and dense Spruce and Fir forests, with Alpine Tundra above twelve thousand feet. The short growing season on the Alpine tundra makes for a spectacular wildflower show. Deer, Elk, Bighorn Sheep, Moose, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Mountain Lion and a variety of smaller animals call these public lands home. More than250 species of birds have been spotted in the area, including the Gunnison Sage Grouse.
No matter what time of year you visit, there is always something to do - from hiking and biking in the summer to snowmobiling and skiing in the winter.
Orange and yellow aspen leaves make for a breathtaking backdrop for scenic drives and hikes during the fall. The Silver Thread Scenic Byway and the West Elk Loop pass through amazing mountain vistas, old mining towns and historic sites. The Alpine Loop backcountry byway affords majestic mountain vistas and breathtaking wildflowers. Historic structures provide a glimpse into the challenging life of early pioneers via historic cabins, mills and ghost towns.
Hikers can choose from a variety of trails fit for an easy stroll or summiting 14,000 foot peaks. If you plan to summit any of our three fourteeners, be sure to get an early start so you're off the peak before afternoon thundershowers roll in. Overnight backpacking or horsepacking trips, particularly in the Powderhorn Wilderness, make for a great excuse to explore your public lands.
Choose from six campgrounds, including Mill Creek, a spectacular setting along the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River. Or, you can pitch a tent in many of our backcountry areas. Be sure to check the rules for specific areas by calling the field office or visiting our web site before your visit.
Mountain bikers, rock climbers and other recreationists can't miss Hartman Rocks just southwest of Gunnison. This popular area includes a system of single track trails and a full stock of rock climbing routes along granitic rock formations.
Lake Fork of the Gunnison River is perfect for rafting, kayaking and float fishing. The best boating comes with the spring runoff in late May and June. Fishermen can enjoy miles of trout streams and backcountry lakes.
In the winter, the Continental Divide Snowmobile trail offers 80 miles of groomed routes. Skiers can use those trails or find their own way through spectacular winter landscapes. A hut to hut system for skiers is also available south of Lake City.
Most, if not all, of these recreation opportunities in the Gunnison Field Office are made possible with the help of community partnerships and coordinating with multiple-agencies.
Remember, these are your public lands and we need your help to take care of them

Emery County Sheriff's Office is sponsoring a seminar on identity theft and internet safety. The Utah Attorney General's Office will be presenting the seminar. Identity theft has been the number one consumer complaint reported to the Federal Trade Commission for the past 11 years. Not only is identity theft one of the fastest growing crimes in the country, it is also a crime that makes it difficult for victims to restore their good credit and financial health. This seminar will provide a detailed overview of identity theft, the latest internet scams, Facebook security concerns and an introduction to Utah's solution to identity theft crimes. Attendees will also learn about a new free program that proactively protects Utah kids from identity thieves.
During the past several years, many Emery County residents have been the targets or victims of identity theft or internet, phone or mail scams. No one is safe from these crimes. Emery County Sheriff's Office encourages citizens to attend this seminar to minimize their vulnerability.
Seminars will be held on Sept. 5 from 6-7:30 p.m. at Green River High School auditorium, 745 West Pirate Avenue, Green River, and on Sept. 6 from 6-7:30 p.m. at Emery High School auditorium, 955 North Center, Castle Dale.

Savage Time!
Marylou is an infidel in good standing. TheJogger is old and decrepit, like dynachrome!
where can i listen?
linsey grahman sounds like a gay leprechan
In. Btw, why do people ask day after day where to stream the show? It's only been posted five billion times.
Live we are!
Streams? Here ya go! haha
I am shocked that lightloafers graham is upset.
Great idea for a new petition to the "We The People" White Hut petition site. ;)
Here's a great webcam for the Doc's SAD (seasonal affective disorder, live Yellowknife Auroral Cam)
Checkin' inski
hearing all these pundits pontificate on why romney lost, conservatives stayed home, christians dont like mormons, ect..... all horse spit. the problem is the people I dont think too many americans care for freedom, its scary! you have to think on your own. its much easier for government to tell you what you can and cant do. plus you could lose your job or healthcare. no we got to reach them a different way try to get thru to them that they need the Rich , they Need a good economy, how else are they going pay for their free stuff.
I also have the nagging feeling that many people just won't vote for a Mormon for Pres.
Two Judas Priest classics in a row. \m/ \m/
Howdy, infidel!
really? is there any proof that conservatives stayed home or people didnt vote because of mormon? I thought there was good turn out. obama won thru voter frauder , foreign invaders and of course just a dumb ass people...we are out numbered. the best bet is to go galt, they can have it
Just a suspicion. Fraud fer sure, but the election was close, I believe, fraud or no fraud. Romney would have delayed the financial problems, at best.
KFSO is where I listen to the Doc:
oh yeah I agree romney would delay things. the thing is I think he would try to bring things around. Obama is actually successful, this what he actually wants, welfare/food stamp roles are swelling
Doc, Doc. sigh. portnoy is not Bellow.
phillip roth (unreadable, IMHO)
I'm enjoying a little Beach Boys music.
haha, I am in Augusta and seen a lone man driving a Rolls.
I had a guy driving a Rolls ask me for directions one time.
nuveaux riche (spelling?), sudden money or something.
did you ask for grey poupon ?
Small town. I was, like, "what the heck is this guy doing here?"
Back to heavy metal bumper music
banning public nudity in sanfran?!?
Good old Rock and Roll!
Caller says we need another Goldwater. Mebbe so, but it means several years in the wilderness for conservatives. Would this nation survive?
Romney being a Mormon didn't stop my vote for him. I was first one in the parking lot at the polls. An hour later I was at campaign headquarters here cranking out phone calls making sure people got out to vote for him.
If I every call, the first and last thing I will say, "hey, how are you Mike". lol
"Hi, Dr. Savage. I'm fine. Don't care how you are." LOL
(actually, I understand what he is getting at. It wastes time on his show or any show)
a little more meat in the 2nd hour.
good call from a military guy.
lol, these two guys calling, if they had listened before... haha
i understand where he's coming from too, but darn if it isn't funny when two callers in a row ask.
"pets and feeding. Tippi the dog" I have to say that our one long lived family cat gobbled down the 10 cent a can cat food (rat, rotten fish,whatever) and lived 18 years. Other cats got fed good bagged food and only lasted 10 years or so. Who knows.
I listened to the Mark Levin show replay last night. Sean "Amnesty" Hannity was the final 'caller'. Not a single word about Hannity's evolved and traitorous stance from anti to pro-amnesty for illegals. Not one. Single. Word.
I know that they're friends and probably discussed this privately but this isn't a private matter to me. Hannity promulgated this crap on his radio show and should be called out for it. Instead of using the time for the this purpose, Levin used the time to promote Hannity's TV show. Hannity used the time to make a fool of himself with the same crap he says and does every time he calls in. A three and a half minute yukitup fest. No more. I can't take it.
i heard that.
thanks dynachrome :)
I doubt you are decrepit :D

Your Guide to the Female Reproductive System
In this article
Follicular Phase of the Menstrual Cycle
This phase starts on the first day of your period. During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, the following events occur:
- Two hormones, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), are released from the brain and travel in the blood to the ovaries.
- The hormones stimulate the growth of about 15 to 20 eggs in the ovaries, each in its own "shell," called a follicle.
- These hormones (FSH and LH) also trigger an increase in the production of the female hormone estrogen.
- As estrogen levels rise, like a switch, it turns off the production of follicle-stimulating hormone. This careful balance of hormones allows the body to limit the number of follicles that mature.
- As the follicular phase progresses, one follicle in one ovary becomes dominant and continues to mature. This dominant follicle suppresses all of the other follicles in the group. As a result, they stop growing and die. The dominant follicle continues to produce estrogen.
Ovulatory Phase of the Menstrual Cycle
The ovulatory phase, or ovulation, starts about 14 days after the follicular phase started. The ovulatory phase is the midpoint of the menstrual cycle, with the next menstrual period starting about two weeks later. During this phase, the following events occur:
- The rise in estrogen from the dominant follicle triggers a surge in the amount of luteinizing hormone that is produced by the brain.
- This causes the dominant follicle to release its egg from the ovary.
- As the egg is released (a process called ovulation), it is captured by finger-like projections on the end of the fallopian tubes (fimbriae). The fimbriae sweep the egg into the tube.
- Also during this phase, there is an increase in the amount and thickness of mucus produced by the cervix (lower part of the uterus). If a woman were to have intercourse during this time, the thick mucus captures the man's sperm, nourishes it, and helps it to move towards the egg for fertilization.
Luteal Phase of the Menstrual Cycle
The luteal phase of the menstrual cycle begins right after ovulation and involves the following processes:
- Once it releases its egg, the empty follicle develops into a new structure called the corpus luteum.
- The corpus luteum secretes the hormone progesterone. Progesterone prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg to implant.
- If intercourse has taken place and a man's sperm has fertilized the egg (a process called conception), the fertilized egg (embryo) will travel through the fallopian tube to implant in the uterus. The woman is now considered pregnant.
- If the egg is not fertilized, it passes through the uterus. Not needed to support a pregnancy, the lining of the uterus breaks down and sheds, and the next menstrual period begins.

Sense of Place
In 1956 Richard Stewart purchased the Quails' Gate Estate knowing that it was potentially one of the best sites in the Okanagan Valley for premium grape production. Our first vines were planted in 1961 and as the years passed the uniqueness and special qualities of this rare property began to manifest into some of the best wines produced in this valley.
Over the years additional properties have been added to reflect the diversity of the Okanagan Valley. The vineyards of Quails' Gate produce wines that exhibit complexity of our valley's terrior. Each site provides a critical component in the hand crafting of the wines we produce.

Silent Hill
by Jad Chambers
posted Oct 9 2012 7:32AM
Not the 2006 film version, I'm going to focus on the video game series that inspired that movie. Not that the movie is THAT bad mind you. Lots of fans of the video game series were pretty vocal in their hate of that movie. But I'm not one of those fans, I realized the video games set the bar kind of high for a movie to try and emulate. But that's one of the advantages a video game has over other non-interactive forms of media. With a video game, you are most often personally responsible for the health and well-being of a story's protagonist. It helps to create that connection between reader/viewer/player and character that is helpful in creating a good narrative. A person is just more likely to enjoy a story if he likes and cares for the characters.
And that's why I'm going to focus on Silent Hill 2. There's nothing wrong with the 6 or 7 (depending on who you ask) other full installments of the series (ok a few of them were pretty terrible, but I won't get in to that here) but the true jewel of the series is without question Silent Hill 2. And the reason it's so well thought of and so often mentioned in lists of "best video game ever" is it's story.
Atmosphere, pacing, characterization, hook, plot, subplot, anything that makes a good novel or well written screenplay good… Silent Hill 2 has it all. Which is good because from a purely technical standpoint… it's not a very good video game. The controls are at best barely functional and the graphics, while good for a game made for a console almost 2 generations old, haven't held up very well. But even in those faults there is a kind of mad genius. The controls ARE bad and frustrating when you have to fight off some of the… well things you have to fight (we'll get to that.) But the main character James Sunderland is not an ex-military, mercenary, mma fighter, SWAT, special forces, (you get the idea) typical video game hero. James is just a normal guy (a writer or accountant I forget and it really doesn't matter) so it makes sense that he's not a great fighter. The graphics limitations of the console kept the developers from rendering anything more than 20 to 30 feet away from the camera for most of the game. However the developers (TEAM Silent, I should give them proper credit) washed out everything further than that in darkness (indoors) and a persistent fog (outdoors) adding to the atmosphere which was dark, unforgiving, and desolate.
And that's where Silent Hill 2 shines and really comes alive. To set up the story, our hero James gets a letter from his wife Mary telling him she wants him to come and see her in the little town of Silent Hill where they spent their honeymoon. Which James agrees to do even though Mary has been dead for the better part of 2 years. Silent Hill (in the previous game) had been established as a town where some evil cult had done some fairly terrible things. But even though the cult had been vanquished (sort of) there was always the idea that the cult settled there because the town ALREADY HAD some sort of dark past, not the other way around. And in 2 you continue to get the idea that the town is sort of a "hell" for James which brings him face to face with his own dark past. And even though James (if he weren't being controlled by a video game player) could just walk back to his car, drive away, and try to forget it ever happened… you also get the impression that he wouldn't. He might just believe he deserves what he's going through. You meet a small number of other characters in the game. They all have their own dark pasts and problems. And they behave oddly sometimes… as if they may not be seeing the same "reality" that James is experiencing. Making you wonder if they are insane. Or maybe JAMES is the crazy one.
No need to spoil it further. I'll add some praise for the fantastic music used in the game written by Akira Yamaoka.
is the intro to the game, featuring the game's iconic "Theme of Laura." And so, if you are a video game player… chances are you have already heard about Silent Hill 2. Well, I urge you to give it a chance. And for those of you who aren't into games… well
is the game with all of its cutscenes and some of the more important game elements in a movie format. It suffers from having you "sit through" some of the things that a game player is actually interacting with. But it's still better than most of the "scary" movies you could watch.
Next week… Phantoms.

Hi Raj,
If you look at the docs for get_course_context() method it says:
@deprecated since 2.2, use $context->get_course_context() instead
So instead you can do:
Thanks for pointing that Dan,
Branches updated and up for another review
Sorry Dan,
I have updated the branch again. I encountered one regression while upgrading site.
If this block is placed on front page and we try to upgrade, context passed is SYSTEM_CONTEXT and it fails.
So I have updated the code which will take care of it.
Once more for your review.
I wish I said it every time
you do the things you do.
You always lend a helping hand,
and I'm filled with gratitude.
You are strong and generous
for each and everyone one of us.
I am eternally grateful,
I cannot say thanks enough.
Sorry for the (un)cool bit above, lol. Closing this as fixed. Ciao
I am preparing to upgrade from 2.0.7+ to 2.2.1+ via 2.1.4., and am now practising on a clone of my moodle system.
The upgrade from 2.0.7 to 2.1.4+ went OK. However, when trying to access a course containing a 'People' block I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::get_course_context() in /Library/WebServer/Documents/moodle22/blocks/participants/block_participants.php on line 23
Commenting out line 23 'fixes' the problem; the course page loads, but there is no 'participants' link in the people block. Note, this error does not appear in the 2.0.7 system which was updated this morning (4th March).
Comparing the two files (block_participants.php) in the 2.0.7 and 2.1.4 installations I see there have been some small changes, and in the version 2.0.7 file there is a reference to MDL-13252, which bought me here.
UPDATE: I continued on to upgrade to 2.2.1+, and the 'Fatal error' message reported above no longer appears.
MySQL: 5.1.42
This problem may be solved for 2.2. But NOT for 2.1. People Block uses the function 'get_course_context'
Moodle 2.1 expects the object 'context', while Moodle 2.2 expects a 'boolean'
---- 2.1
---- /**
---- * Find course context
---- * @param object $context - course or lower context
---- * @return object context of the enclosing course, throws exception when related course context found
---- */
---- function get_course_context($context) {
---- 2.2
---- /**
---- * Is this context part of any course? If yes return course context.
---- *
---- * @param bool $strict true means throw exception if not found, false means return false if not found
---- * @return course_context context of the enclosing course, null if not found or exception
---- */
---- public function get_course_context($strict = true) {
The 'fix', which shows up in both Moodle 2.1 repositories(git and cvs) uses '$this->page->context->get_course_context(false)' - a boolean.
Currently if you update to moodle 2.1.4+ (Build: 20120301) you can expect any course which has the 'People'
block to display an entirely blank page.
If you go back the previous version where '$currentcontext = $this->page->context;' and it works again.
Some one needs to fix the repositories for Moodle 2.1 ...
Imho, poor regression testing for Moodle 2.1 core stable!
Thanks for pointing that James,
I am creating a new bug to fix this regression.

When published, this pen-and-ink drawing was used as an illustration to T.T.'s poem 'The letters', which describes two separated lovers.
He Writes:
What on earth's the good of kisses –
Inky kisses in a letter?
Does a cross supply your wishes?
Don't you wish for something better?
Where on earth's the satisfaction –
(And enclosed herein I send it)
In the sign without the action?
Really, I can't comprehend it!
She Replies:
This on earth's the good of kisses –
Kisses scribbled with a 'J' pen.
That I know my darling misses –
Misses me a little then!
Here on earth is the attraction –
'Missing kisses, misses me.'
There's the answer in a fraction
To your question, can't you see?
Lambert made this drawing in Paris in 1901, but it was not published until some years later, in Sydney. Although it was eventually published in the Lone Hand , an illustrated monthly first issued in July 1907, Lambert was probably commissioned to make the drawing for the Bulletin in 1901, and they would have then passed it on to the Lone Hand . This magazine was created by the Bulletin 's founder, J.F. Archibald, and also promoted Australian writers and writing.
With its decorative frame, sleeping cupid, and balanced composition, this is a more sophisticated drawing than many of the pen-and-ink illustrations published in the Bulletin , including those by Lambert.

10 Things That Caught My Eye at Gear Expo
25. September 2013
Gleason's 100PS power skiving machine offers an alternative to shaping and hobbing operations. See the slideshow to learn about this and more gear-making technology.
Last week, I spent a day at the Gear Expo, held at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indy. Presented by the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA), the biennial event is the world's only conference and exposition designed exclusively for the gear industry. This year's show featured more than 200 exhibitors—covering gear materials, machining and measurement—and is said to be the largest edition in more than a decade.
This was the first Gear Expo I've attended (it's held every other year). I'm glad I did, because I was able to meet with some companies that I wasn't as familiar with as I'd like to be. This slideshow highlights 10 things that caught my eye while I was there.

ABAJO MOUNTAINS - Dedicated Hunter, Steve Duke recently conducted creel surveys of waters in San Juan County. Lakes and reservoirs are filling up fast. Steve found fair fishing at Blanding #3 and #4 for anglers using Kastmaster or Mepp's spinners. At Recapture Reservoir, no anglers were found. A week earlier, aquatic biologists Justin Hart and Craig Walker fished Recapture Reservoir, and caught several small pike and a 12-inch largemouth bass. Craig hooked a 3-4 pound pike but lost it. They had most luck with large, chartreuse, skirted, double-bladed spinnerbaits. Steve Duke reported fair to good fishing at Loyd's Lake with salmon eggs. Monticello and Foy reservoirs offered fair to good fishing with worms or silver Panther Martin spinners. The San Juan River is unfishable at present.
BENCHES RESERVOIR - The ice pack is melting, and ice-off may occur by the weekend. The reservoir's tributary is closed to fishing until July 9.
CLEVELAND RESERVOIR - Ice has come off the east side. The reservoir could be ice-free by the weekend. Stocking may not occur until after Memorial Day. However, the lake still holds carry-over trout from last year. Todd Munford of Big Pine Sports in Fairview recommends using a nightcrawler with split shot or a black (or olive) 1/32-ounce jig with a piece of nightcrawler, suspended by a floating bubble.
ELECTRIC LAKE - The lake is mostly ice-free, but the access road on the north end is mostly snow-covered with patches of mud. Cutthroat trout are stacking near the inlet for the spring spawn. A nightcrawler/salmon egg combination was effective. The best lures have been tan or rust Roostertails or 1/8 ounce brown marabou jigs. Tributaries are closed to fishing until July 9 to protect spawning cutthroat trout.
HUNTINGTON CREEK - Except for the upper end of the fly-only zone, the creek is unfishable. The water is fast, high and turbid. Todd Munford advises anglers in the fly-only zone to try large attractor patterns, trailed by small nymphs, such as the RS 2, WD-40, or Lil Brassie. Brown trout are generally within the 10- to 12-inch size class. .
HUNTINGTON NORTH STATE PARK - This reservoir will be planted with 9- to 10-inch rainbow trout prior to the holiday weekend. A creel survey last weekend indicated fair fishing success. Best baits were rainbow or green PowerBait, and nightcrawlers. Spincasters had luck with Super Vibrax and Roostertail spinners.
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR (on the Wasatch Plateau, Sanpete County) The shoreline has opened up enough to allow shoreline angling. Conservation Officer Jay Topham reported fair to good fishing from the shoreline, using black jigs or a worm-PowerBait or worm-salmon egg combination Todd Munford recommends fishing with a straight nightcrawler.
JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR - The reservoir is open. Fly fishermen should consider using large streamer or leech patterns. Bait fishermen are encouraged to use dead minnows or chub meat. Most splake caught are either under or within the slot. Special regulations apply. The limit is two trout, only one over 22 inches. All trout between 15-22 inches must be immediately released.
LASAL MOUNTAINS - Conservation Officer Joe Nicholson indicates that Ken's Lake is full, and fishing was fair for 10- to 12-inch rainbow trout and brown trout up to 18 inches. Officer Nicholson recommends Roostertails, Lil Jake's spin-a-lures and worms. Anglers are reminded that the trout limit at Ken's Lake is four. Hidden and Don's lakes are accessible now, although fishing was slow. The road is open to Oowah Reservoir where the fishing was fair to good with spinners and salmon eggs. Catfishing on the Colorado River was fair with traditional baits.
MILLER FLAT RESERVOIR - The access road is closed.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR - Dedicated Hunter, Randy Ruden conducted a creel survey last weekend and reported good fishing. Successful anglers were using worms with white marshmallows, salmon eggs, and yellow-sparkle or lemon twist PowerBait.
PETES HOLE - Access is closed.
POTTERS PONDS - Access is closed.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR - The reservoir is filling rapidly. Tributaries are raging torrents. Shorelines and inlets are clogged with debris. The water is turbid. Boaters, tubers and pontooners will find the best fishing this weekend. Fly fishermen will be challenged by colored water and a recent midge hatch. The best bait will be redside shiners, which may be caught in the reservoir with minnow traps. They should be fished off rocky points. Remember that bait fish must be dead prior to use. The second best bait is trout egg sacs. Remember that it's illegal to harvest eggs from a female trout and then release the fish back into the water. Also, be advised that many trout die when hooked with egg sacs or minnows. Please harvest those fish which are deeply hooked. Please remember that all tributaries to Scofield Reservoir are closed to fishing until July 9th to protect spawning cutthroat trout.
STRAIGHT CANYON - Unfishable due to high, fast and colored water.
