40 Years Ago: Frank Zappa Releases 'Apostrophe (')'
When Frank Zappa, shall we say, "punctuated" the 1970s with his 'Apostrophe (')' album, it was, amazingly, already his eighteenth studio or live release over a span not quite as long as a decade. Any way you look at it, this was a monumental feat of prolific creativity largely unmatched in the rock milieu. And yet, for all of those albums, their hundreds of songs, and the jaw-dropping variety of musical genres they encompassed, Zappa had never actually charted a single in America.
For 'Apostrophe ('),' released on March 22, 1974, became, and remains, Frank Zappa's commercial high-water mark, thanks in large part to an edited version of its knee-slapping opening number, 'Don't Eat the Yellow Snow,' which gradually climbed to No. 86 on the singles chart and finally transformed Frank into an honest-to goodness hit maker!
In all seriousness, the novelty success of 'Snow' simply opened the floodgates wide enough for word-of-mouth to do the rest. Before too long, Zappa's growing legions of new fans were discovering that a complete, unedited song-suite expanding upon the story of Nanook the Eskimo covered much of 'Apostrophe (')'s' first half and, in so doing, helped the LP charge all the way to No. 10 on the album charts.
However, this accomplishment would have been unlikely without the relative immediacy of additional numbers like the intriguing 'Cosmik Debris,' the quirky 'Excentrifugal Forz,' the racially topical 'Uncle Remus' and the more familiarly silly 'Stink-Foot.' All of these songs essentially built on the aesthetic established just six months prior with 1973's 'Overnite Sensation,' which itself had been considered a commercial breakthrough, of sorts, until 'Apostrophe (') eclipsed it.
Luckily, none of the above achieved their "crossover" appeal (as they say) by sacrificing Zappa's penchant for genre-busting experimenting, nor his demands for virtuosic perfection from his backing musicians. This point was driven home by the album's challenging, fusion-inspired title track, which captured a rare occasion in which Frank jammed with established musicians in former Cream bassist Jack Bruce and top session drummer Jim Gordon (and an even rarer occasion where he shared songwriting credits and royalties).
From this point forward, Zappa's career would endure recurring peaks and valleys, brought on by the endless sonic permutations dictated by his boundless imagination, but none of his future albums would quite match 'Apostrophe (')'s success. Like Frank himself, whose fame continued to increase, regardless of album sales, until his untimely passing in 1993, and beyond, 'Apostrophe (')' too has maintained its place among his most popular efforts, and arguably the most common entryway for neophytes into the Zappa universe.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen becomes UN Environmental Ambassador20/
The face of some of the world's most exclusive products has now become the new face of global environmental action. On 20 September, Brazil-born Gisele Bündchen, one of the most recognized top models of all time, was designated Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).As Goodwill Ambassador, Gisele Bündchen will help UNEP in its mission to raise awareness and inspire action to protect the environment. The new Goodwill Ambassador will help focus attention on some of the biggest threats facing the planet, climate change and environmental degradation. The designation of Gisele as Goodwill Ambassador took place at New York's Washington Square Park Fountain, where hundreds of fans and journalists assembled to witness the supermodel accept her new role.Gisele Bündchen, a true environmentalist in her own right, said:"I'm really honoured to join UNEP's work on the environment. The environment has always been my passion. I grew up in a small town and I had the opportunity to live surrounded by nature. I couldn't have asked for a better childhood. We must act now, so future generations have the same opportunity. Mother Earth is our fundamental life-support system, and by becoming aware and responsible now, we can assist in preserving the planet."She added: "I have been working on environmental issues for a long time and agreed to become a Goodwill Ambassador to be part of a global and far-reaching organization. Now it's about action on a global scale to secure a healthy future for the next generation, wherever they live in the world."On climate change, Gisele noted, "Climate change is something we can't deny? It affects all of us. At the end of the day, it's our planet ? we all have to feel accountable." Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director said: "Gisele is among a handful of talented individuals and personalities that have a truly global reach. She is also a committed and passionate environmentalist. UNEP is delighted to welcome her on board as a Goodwill Ambassador so that with her help, we can make environmental action a global brand and a life-style choice, from New York to Nairobi and from Sao Paolo to Shanghai."

Due to changes made to A.R.S. 13-3112 during the 2010 and 2011 legislative sessions, effective July 20, 2011, the Concealed Weapons Permit Unit will no longer approve or renew concealed weapons training programs, training organizations, or firearms-safety instructors.
Amendments to A.R.S. 13-3112 in 2010 added a number of new ways in which an applicant could qualify for a concealed weapons permit through training or experience. These new additions removed the statutory minimum requirements which the Unit used to evaluate and approve training programs. Since there are no statutorily defined minimum requirements, the ability of DPS to evaluate, approve and support training programs has been greatly diminished. For this reason, after July 20, 2011, the Concealed Weapons Permit Unit will no longer update, support or sanction the use of the proprietary firearms-safety training course previously used to train permit holders. Furthermore, DPS will no longer review or approve any lesson plans and will no longer publish or update the "Legal Issues Relating to the Use of Deadly Force" guideline.
Additionally, since changes to A.R.S. 13-3112 made in the 2011 legislative session removed the authority for DPS to approve or authorize instructors and organizations, DPS will discontinue this practice. However, for those that currently hold an approval or authorization, current rules will still govern those approvals or authorizations until expiration pursuant to A.A.C. R13-9-309, which provides that a firearms-safety instructor approval is valid for 5 years from the date of issuance or renewal and the authorization of an instructor who holds a valid concealed weapon permit will expire when his current permit expires.
Going forward, liability for use of previously approved training programs rests solely on the instructor and or organization.

Barca stand by Tito Vilanova
Barcelona have pledged to stand by coach Tito Vilanova after confirming he faces a second battle against cancer.
- Related Content
The Primera Division club's medical department revealed in a statement on Wednesday evening that the 44-year-old would have surgery on his parotid gland on Thursday, before undergoing approximately six weeks of chemotherapy.
The news comes just over a year after Vilanova first had a tumour removed from his throat.
Club president Sandro Rosell expressed his "unconditional support" for Vilanova at a specifically-convened press conference on Wednesday evening, in which he was flanked by on-field leaders Carles Puyol, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Victor Valdes.
Rosell revealed assistant coach Jordi Roura would take charge of the first team while Vilanova, who took over from Pep Guardiola at the Nou Camp this summer, underwent his treatment.
The club has, however, left the door open for Vilanova to return to the touchline during his recovery, saying in Wednesday night's statement that his "treatment may be compatible with his work life".
That decision is set to be made after Thursday's surgery but for now Rosell offered the club's full support for Vilanova and his young family.
"Tito is strong, very strong. He's shown us that and we're convinced he'll back with us very soon," he told a press conference.
"We want to express our unconditional support to Tito and his family.
"We thank everyone for their support. We have complete confidence in the team. The club is very strong and united, we're capable of overcoming adversity."
The recurrence of Vilanova's illness was first reported on Wednesday morning after Barcelona cancelled their scheduled media activities for the day.
Rossell admitted Vilanova had told him of the news on Tuesday, but Wednesday night's confirmation was delayed until after a meeting with the players.
"We learned the news yesterday but Tito wanted to wait until we told the players," Rossell said. "We respected his will."
The La Liga leaders, who have enjoyed their best ever start under Vilanova this season, confirmed the speculation after the players arrived for training.
"In monitoring the process of his parotid gland, an extension of the pathology was detected, requiring surgical treatment on Thursday," a statement on the club's official website read.
"He is expected to remain in hospital for three to four days.
"After the surgery, Francesc 'Tito' Vilanova will undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatment for approximately six weeks. During this time, and depending on how well he recovers, Vilanova's treatment may be compatible with his work life.
"Keeping in line with the patient's wishes, we urge respect and privacy during this process."
Speculation in the Spanish press has already linked Guardiola, who left the club to take a year-long sabbatical in the summer, with a return, but sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta denied any contact had been made.
Barca travel to Real Valladolid on Saturday before the winter break and Zubizarreta emphasised Vilanova remained in charge.
"Tito is our coach and will continue to be our coach," he said. "Jordi (Roura) will be on the sidelines for Valladolid, but all the rest is pure speculation."
Zubizarreta also expressed his shock at the news, saying: "It was difficult news to hear this morning.
"Tito's only concern has centred on his children and his family. The only person he has not spoken of is himself."
Arch rivals Real Madrid led the well wishes for Vilanova even before Barcelona confirmed his illness.
They said in a statement: "Real Madrid want to express their support and best wishes for the coach of FC Barcelona, Tito Vilanova, and wish him a very rapid recovery. Real Madrid offer their support to his club and to all his family."
The news came on the same day Barcelona defender Eric Abidal returned to training following his own cancer battle.
Abidal needed a liver transplant in April after first undergoing surgery in March last year.
Following an emotional day, midfielder Cesc Fabregas wrote on his Twitter page: "Today is one of those days when you realize what is important in life. All my support to Tito and his family."
It was not just the world of football who are wishing Vilanova the best.
Former tennis world number one Rafael Nadal tweeted: "All my strength and support to Tito Vilanova! We are with you to overcome this new step."
It was announced in April that Vilanova would take over as Barcelona coach following Guardiola's decision to step down at the end of the season and take a year-long sabbatical from the game.
Vilanova was Guardiola's assistant during four hugely successful years at the Nou Camp which saw Barcelona win 13 trophies, including two Champions League triumphs and three Primera Division titles.
Vilanova has enjoyed a superb start to his tenure in the hotseat, helping Barcelona establish a nine-point lead at the top of the Spanish league standings after winning 15 of their opening 16 games while drawing the other.
The club are also through to the knockout stages of the Champions League and hold a 2-0 first-leg lead over Cordoba in their Copa del Rey last-16 tie.

Skip to comments.Obama on Estonia airport 'trash cans'
Posted on 09/08/2009 9:27:56 AM PDT by Nachum
Recycling posters featuring the picture of US President Barack Obama have reportedly been spotted on garbage cans at the Estonian capital's airport.
Obama's photograph is encircled with the three arrows that symbolize recycling and encourages consumers with his campaign slogan "Yes, We Can," Russia Today (RT) reported citing a report at delfi.ee.
Eesti Pakendiringlus, an Estonian recycled packaging company, is stressing on the can with a pun on the word's other meaning tin.
(Excerpt) Read more at presstv.ir ...
I think that we should posterize all our trash cans with pictures of "the one"....
I want to see Obama and his agenda on the trash heap of history — never to be recycled, one hopes.
Would make an AWESOME trash can!
Don't those stupid Baltic-white-guys know that the One's visage can only be used in an officially-approved manner?
It's fitting, since Obama keeps recycling failed socialist policies of the past.
Nov 2012—
"Yes, we canned Obama".
By the way, is it time to replace the "socialism" caption with the word "Marxism"?
Obama is an attention whore...
Excellent. I like it.
Maybe it's not a pun. Maybe the image is what showed up when they Googled "can garbage" and they just went with it.
So these turds have no one in their own Country to look up to, so they put our dear leader ontheri cans? Great.
The law of unintended consequences.
"Yes We Trashcan."
That is a match.
When Slick Willie was President, I remember seeing Slick Willie's face on some of those mesh screens used in urinals...
First of all Estonians are not turds. second, dear leader? What are you?
It shouldn't. Marxism is socialism. There is no such thing as a well meaning socialist just as there is no such thing as good socialism. Socialism destroys societies in direct proportion to that societies adoption of socialist ideas. There are kindly Swedes but socialist Swedes are not kindly, and socialist bureaucrats are not well meaning. They are evil.
When I first read the headline, I was thinking Obama was going to give a speech about trashcans. He's speechified us on near everything else it seems.
First of all, the turds are the ones who decided to put the obamanation's face on their cans. Second, Dear Leader is a sarcastic remark. What am I? Hardcore non-republican (because they aren't conservative) conservative human. That's what I am.
Hey, I could be wrong, and they think it's funny to put the "One's" face on this can because it may be seen as degrading. Right now, I see it as European love for out socialist wanna-be leader.
I'll be darned if I can figure out how to embed it, but here's a link:
Oops, sorry. Had to take it down. Had my real name on it.
If anyone can help me with the html, I'll try again to embed.
Preferably on the bottom inside where it belongs.
Well, if he where to give such a speech, it would be historic, world changing, eloquent and a forward looking comprehensive plan in dealing with the capitalists trash cans.
It is only right and fair for those who have received the benefits of owning trash cans in a civilized world, to be made to share their trash cans with those those less fortunate. There simply must be a Public Option.
"Hope, Change... Yes We Trash Can."
The cultured blacks of Martha's Vineyard called them ghetto trash, "especially Michelle."
I believe it, and I agree.
No Kidding!!
And speaking of help.......
Here's some more help......

Just click the link posted above....
You'll find it useful......

Tesla Now Shipping 500+ Model S EVs Weekly
Tiffany Kaiser
March 22, 2013 12:03 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The company is also adding new Tesla Stores and Superchargers around the U.S.
Tesla Motors is greeting the new spring season with plenty of Model S-related news, including its achievement of more than 500
deliveries per week
"Over the past few months it's been fun to watch the company achieve new milestones," said George Blankenship, VP of Worldwide Sales and Ownership Experience at Tesla. "First it was the factory ramping up to full production in December. During the past three weeks we have averaged more than 500 Model S deliveries per week, and it looks like we'll be setting another record this week.
"With all these new cars on the road, it's fun to watch as Model S racks up the miles. Model S drivers have traveled more than 12 million miles since deliveries first began. That's a lot of CO2 emissions saved! And how are things going in California? Well, today we registered our 3,000th Model S in the Golden State. That pretty much says it all!"
Blankenship's post on Tesla's blog also mentioned a few other tidbits, such as the opening of new Tesla Stores in the Los Angeles area and Miami (as well as more service centers across North America and Europe throughout 2013); the addition of more Superchargers around the U.S. in places like the Pacific Northwest, Illinois, Texas, Florida, the Northeast and California, and the fact that the Model S is now officially a World Car.
Tesla has had some rough patches lately, such as
issues with a journalist from
The New York Times,
took a test drive this winter and reported
a horrific venture
. More specifically, he said that the Model S didn't have the range Tesla said it did, and ended up on a flatbed truck at the end of the trip. Musk and the NYT journalist (John Broder)
ended up feuding
over the matter.
But Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk is turning that luck around with predictions of
being profitable
in the first quarter and by vowing to
pay off its $465 million government loan
within five years.
However, one recent hiccup is a delay to production of
the Model X
Tesla had hoped to begin production of the vehicle this year, but those plans have been put off until
late 2014 (meaning deliveries will likely be pushed to 2015).

IIE is excited to have selected the first group of one hundred HER scholarship recipients! The Institute held selection panels for our new Higher Education Readiness (HER) program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on March 25th. Discussion was robust, objective and transparent. Nineteen Ethiopian professionals from secondary schools, universities, NGO's and businesses gathered to discuss the HER applicants and, based on the scholarship criteria (academic performance, demonstrated leadership and future skills and financial need) determined which girls will be awarded the HER scholarship.
IIE will notify the 100 girls in the coming days and we will begin program activities immediately. Initially all of the HER Program recipients will receive in-depth tutoring for the next six weeks in preparation for the upcoming end of 10th grade National Exam. In Ethiopia, a student's score on this exam determines whether they continue on a university prep track or a vocational track in high school. As our goal for HER is for 100 percent of the scholarship recipients to enter the university prep track, the exam tutoring is a critical success factor.
Many, many thanks to the HER selection panelists (see the slideshow) who, as volunteers, spent many hours of their personal time reading the applications and meeting as a group to determine the final recipients.
Stay tuned—the next blog will feature highlights from some selected applicants and you can read more on why these young women have become part of the first HER scholarship group!

Size doesn't solve society's issues
May 31, 2007
My dad was talking to my 10-year-old niece, Mireya, recently about the music devices he grew up with — cassettes, reel-to-reels and eight-tracks.
"And those 'big CDs,'" Mireya remarked about the old vinyl records.
This remark not only cracked me up, it got me started thinking about how so much has been downsized these days, from our music listening and entertainment gadgets to our household appliances and even our hairdos. It also got me started making a list of just the opposite — things that have actually gone from kiddie to supersize. And in the process, I have identified many ironies.
Here's what I came up with:
Our lawn mowers have gotten bigger, as in riding mowers, while our yards, on average, have gotten smaller.
Our TVs have gotten bigger, but TV shows and movies have gotten shorter.
Our soda and beer bottles and packaging and sugar products have gotten bigger, but our meat, dairy and fruit and vegetable products seem to be shrinking in size.
Our doctor visits have become shorter, but the medical bills bigger.
Loan approval time has become much smaller, but the time to pay back has become bigger and with smaller loans has come bigger interest.
Our telephones and phone conversations have become much smaller, but our phone bills are much bigger.
We have smaller microwaves and stoves, but we eat a lot more.
We have smaller tape-recording and video-recording devices, but they've been known to create bigger headaches.
We have smaller, faster computers, but more time is spent on them doing more work.
Infomercials are getting longer while the size of books, newspapers and magazines is getting smaller.
We have more news channels, but shorter news stories.
Hairdos and styles have become much smaller, but we're using more hair products and paying more for these styles.
We're building overfunded sports stadiums and courthouses but underfunded schools and libraries.
Our government has become bigger, but government productivity and response smaller.
We're spending more money building prisons while youth and community activity centers seem to be becoming smaller.
Salaries have increased but more Americans are in debt.
Wristwatches have become bigger, but most people just rely on their cell phones.
In today's world, it has become easy to sweat over the small things and dismiss and procrastinate on the bigger, more important matters.
As our society has become more diverse, we seem to have become more intolerant lately.
On our grocery shelves, economy size usually means you pay more for a smaller amount.
We have more channels to watch on TV but less quality and educational programming.
So our society has shrunk from "big CDs" to smaller CDs, from bulky VCRs to space-saving DVD players and from ankle-length poodle skirts to miniskirts.
The above ironies go to show that bigger isn't always better. It depends what you're talking about. Bigger schools and smaller prisons would be nice. And in some cases, smaller is better. After all, good things do come in small packages. But again, it depends what you're talking about.
It would be nice if economy-size products were really economic and it would be nice if, as our world becomes smaller thanks to many of these new technological gadgets, that we would more open minded — instead of the reverse.

Ive been trying to learn Jap. for the past year.
I know very little. (trying to learn from books)
Is there a esier way
I'm a Manga/Anime lover.
In all honesty the best way to learn Japanese would be to move to Japan. Full immersion into another language often speeds up the process.
Also, Japanese is ridiculously hard.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
PGP Key Here
I've heard....Doing that isnt a option
I'm a Manga/Anime lover.
jokes aside. My uncle learned japanese in college and he did alot of verb exercises and he said it was easier learning that way then word by word
Aim: Frostfox87
Current mood: Bored
Ok....Is there a descent way to learn though....with that
I'm a Manga/Anime lover.
hoi' I've been a student of the language for a little over a year now,. I'll be taking some Japanese classes this fall. My two cents;
There is an infinite number of ways to go about learning the language,. but I'd definitely recommend learning the Hiragana / Katakana before moving on to the Kanji.
Luckily,. the internet is full of wonderful resources! Take a peek at these;
ManyThings (Link) - Wonderful sources of quizzes,. games,. and all sorts of information on the written/spoken language.
ChipChat Quiz (Link) - Another Hiragana / Katakana site with quizzes over the Kana you specify.
All About Kanji Radicals (Link) - When you do start learning Kanji,. this becomes a lifesaver. All Kanji have radicals that can help you decipher meaning / pronunciation if you know where to look.
As far as the spoken language goes; I'd look into the "Pimsleur" units,. I've reached the second level of Japanese through that and its' worked miracles.
http://www.pimsleurapproach.com/learn-japanese.asp ( ... Of course you can find it elsewhere free ...)
hope that helps! best of luck!
"I'm not concerned that you've fallen- I'm concerned that you arise."
All I can say is good luck to you, and try to speak it as often as you can, preferably with people that are fluent and willing to help you.
From my experience of trying to learn to read and write Chinese even though I'm already fluent, it isn't easy. Although, learning a language is a lot less stress when you actually want to learn it.
I am the moonlight walking.
There is no "easy way" to learn another language, especially one as different as Japanese. The best way to learn would be full immersion, but since you said that isn't an option you might what to look into getting some books and some audio lessons.
I use sarcasm because I'm not close enough to strangle you.

Computation of the Full-Sample Weights
Computation of Replicate Weights
NAEP assessments use complex sample designs to create student samples that generate population and subpopulation characteristics with reasonably high precision and low sampling variability. Student sampling weights ensure valid inferences from the student samples to their respective populations. In 2005, weights were developed for students sampled at grades 4, 8, and 12 for operational assessments in mathematics, reading, and science and for a bridge study in science. Each student was assigned a weight to be used for making inferences about students in the target population. This weight is known as the final full-sample student weight. The final full-sample weight contains five components:
The base weight is the inverse of the overall probability of selecting a student and assigning that student to a particular assessment. The sample design that determines the base weights is discussed in the 2005 NAEP sample design section.
The base weight is adjusted for two sources of nonparticipation: school level and student level. These weighting adjustments seek to reduce the potential for bias from such nonparticipation by
Furthermore, the final weights reflect the trimming of extremely large weights at both the school and student level.
In addition to the final full-sample weight, a set of replicate weights was provided for each student. These replicate weights are used to calculate the variances of survey estimates using the jackknife repeated replication method. The methods used to derive these weights were aimed at reflecting the features of the sample design, so that when the jackknife variance estimation procedure is implemented, approximately unbiased estimates of sampling variance are obtained. In addition, the various weighting procedures were repeated on each set of replicate weights to appropriately reflect the impact of the weighting adjustments on the sampling variance of a survey estimate.

France number eight Louis Picamoles' late try salvaged a 13-13 result against Ireland as they left Dublin with a point on Saturday.
A try from powerful France number eight Louis Picamoles salvaged a 13-13 result against Ireland as they left the Aviva Stadium with a point.
The Toulouse man's try six minutes from time, converted by Frederic Michalak, ensured the French ended their run of three straight defeats.
It had looked like Ireland would hold on to pick up a priceless Six Nations win but a series of injury concerns over Brian O'Driscoll and Luke Marshall left the hosts scrambling for fit players before Picamoles crashed over in the 73rd minute.
It was the second successive draw between the two sides but extended France's winless streak over the past two Six Nations to seven, their worst run since 1926-27, and leaves them needing to beat Scotland at home next Saturday to have any chance of avoiding the wooden spoon.
The Irish made the early running in terrible weather conditions and were rewarded after a superb tactical kick deep into the French 22 by O'Driscoll set up a lineout.
Peter O'Mahony won the ball and from the resulting driving maul Heaslip squeezed over the line to score his eighth international try – Jackson belied concerns over his place-kicking, after a disastrous performance against Scotland, by landing a superb conversion.
France were presented with a golden opportunity to reduce the deficit in the 16th minute but Michalak, whose selection had raised eyebrows after three poor performances, missed his penalty from close range.
Ireland were very much in control but Jackson missed a chance to make it 10-0 in the 23rd minute as his penalty from long range drifted wide.
Michalak made no mistake with his second chance in the 27th minute as he slotted over a penalty to make it 7-3.
However, the Irish scrum were forcing the French into infringement after infringement and Jackson, assuming responsibility when the Irish could have kicked for the corner, opted for a kick at goal from long range in the 30th minute and converted it to restore the seven point advantage.
The 21-year-old, playing in only his second test, was showing little fear and he punished the French again three minutes later as he stroked a penalty over from about 45 metres for 13-3 which even had injured first choice fly-half Jonathan Sexton grinning and applauding from the stands.
Michalak's woeful first-half finished on a suitably low note as given the chance to give France a filip on the stroke of half-time he sent another kickable penalty wide to leave the Irish sitting comfortably enough at the break.
Jackson had an early chance in the second-half to extend the lead but his effort fell just short.
The Irish were still controlling the game but prop Mike Ross conceded a penalty in the 54th minute and Morgan Parra stepped up, replacing the misfiring Michalak, and converted it for 13-6.
Parra, though, proved he too was fallible, missing a tough penalty attempt just before the hour mark as the French started to pressure the hosts into a series of errors.
The visitors pressed forward desperate to redress the balance but saw a chance go begging as with extra men wide out to the right they failed to push home the advantage and the Irish defence held firm.
However, eventually the French breached the line as Picamoles took advantage of Ireland dithering after a penalty was awarded and tapping it quickly he touched it down for his fifth try for his country – Michalak stepped up to the task and converted for 13-13.

Comments: These are decent lures but they do require a very slow retrieve. They have a tendency to "roll over" on the retrieve if you're not reeling slow enough.
From: Seth: Pittsburgh, PA 9/4/15
Comments: I fished this in my buddies 5 acre farm pond where I test all my lures out not just for catching ability but just to also practice with them. I fished it over christmas break and even in the cold weather it caught five very nice fish in a window of about 45 minutes. I can not wait to test it out it the warmer weather this spring and summer.
From: Chris: Spring, TX 2/24/15
Comments: after seeing this lure i decided to buy on in the black silver shad i have the arashi shad 3 and they work great and right out the package this lure works great caught a nice size largemouth at my local pond. the one thing i will agree with the other reviews on is that this is a bait that can not be reeled in fast a moderate retrieve is great because the bait has a tendency to skip on the surface but it is still a really great wake bait will be buying more in the other colors for spring.
From: Jennie: Morganton, NC 10/20/14
Comments: you must reel this bait slow or it will jump out of the water. When you do this it has a very wide wobble.
From: Tracy: Summerville, GA 9/8/14
Comments: Wow this bait is loud! Fish will have no problems hearing it coming I promise. This is a true wake bait that runs perfectly right on the surface. Has an extremely wide wobble that really seemed to tick the fish off. Fish were really crushing it when they were hitting. The bait I got, all 3 split rings were open and had to be replaced so watch out for that. Paint job scratches very easily also but all in all a very nice bait.

I'm a homeowner and trying to replace the upstairs shower (a plastic shower pan with tiled
wall arrangement) with a 2 piece fiberglass unit. I'd rathern not have to cut away the downstairs
stippled ceiling to get access to the floor drain plumbing from underneath the shower stall.
(Reason: this gives much more work in repairing the opening, replacing the stipple, and then
painting the whole ceiling there). But feel that I can prepare the plumbing from the top (access)
by cutting away some plywood flooring, positioning the drain pipe correctly, and then replace the
plywood flooring that was cut away. Then I can set the fiberglass unit in place. The question is
this: does a floor shower drain fitting exist that allows me to connect to the drain pipe (2" PVC)
from the top, without having to gain access from below, AND, is reliable agains leaks? (I'd like it
to last at least 10 years not leaking, if possible). Please help me.
I have purchased two styles, one is: a type made of PVC and of solvent weld connection
to the drain pipe (seems to require access from below to glue the connections between it and
the drain pipe). The other is a cast brass type with an elongated rubber ring seal that fits into
the brass fitting and goes around and seals around the outside of the 2" PVC drain pipe.
(It has a threaded ring that screws into the inside of the drain fitting and pushes down on the
rubber ring so that it tightens against the outside of the 2" PVC down drain pipe. This system
does not seem as watertight as the solvent weld variety). Is there a better system out there
that I can do this job without cutting out the downstairs ceiling to gain access to the plumbing?
Say, a fitting that has a more secure screw in type of arrangement that I can connect to the
drain piping from the top, by, say, a screw-in motion? Please please help me. Thank you
very much. I would also like advice on the cast brass drain fitting I described, please. Is it
reliable, and would you use it in your home. Thank you very very much.

SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey makes it a point to rarely say anything revealing to the news media, and he was even more limited in his comments when an errant pitch during the final weekend of the season bounced on the ground and hit him on the throat.
It was during a relatively meaningless game against the San Diego Padres, with the San Francisco Giants' National League West crown already secured, but his resolve to stay and finish the game made a bigger statement than anything Posey would say himself.
MORE: Posey's grand slam hits second deck
Late in his first season back from a gruesome injury many feared would permanently hamper his career — or at least force him to switch positions — Posey was still toiling behind the plate, guiding his team, exhorting his pitcher.
They're the actions of a born leader, a player who insisted on returning to catching despite suffering a broken leg and three torn ankle ligaments in a home-plate collision so brutal it sparked a national debate on whether baseball should take measures to protect catchers in those situations.
They're also the example his teammates follow, as the 2010 NL rookie of the year and current strong candidate for NL MVP has become the driving force for a Giants team that won its second NL West title in three years and appeared on its way to the NLCS..
Posey's fifth-inning grand slam Thursday put the Giants ahead of the Cincinnati Reds 6-0 in Game 5 of the NL Division Series. He also scored the go-ahead run in the Giants' 2-1 Game 3 win, which began San Francisco's comeback from a 2-0 series deficit.
"He doesn't say a ton, but he says it at the right time, and he knows what he's talking about," first baseman Brandon Belt says of Posey.
"He's also in a leadership position. When you get put in the toughest position in baseball and play it well like that, it's another way people will look up to you and say, 'Hey, if he can do that over an entire season and stay focused and play well, I can do the same thing.'"
Perseverance pays
Posey knew he could make substantial contributions with his bat while playing elsewhere — he won the batting crown with a .336 average and had 24 homers and 103 RBI — but he was determined to catch again because that's where he can have the biggest impact.
"There were some thoughts a couple of months after, 'Maybe it wouldn't be bad to move,'" says Posey, who suffered the injury May25, 2011, when the Florida Marlins' Scott Cousins crashed into him trying to score. "But then the more I thought about it, I realized how much I enjoy catching. I want to catch as long as I possibly can.
"It's hard for anyone really to understand it unless you're back there doing it, but I love it."
Posey relishes the mental challenge of trying to beat the opposition and also bringing out the best in pitchers.
Given the lingering effects of the injury and his value to the team, though, the Giants devised a plan that would afford Posey regular days off, as well as some playing at first base. He finished the season with 148 games played, 114 of them — including 111 starts — behind the plate. In the NL, only Miguel Montero (139), Yadier Molina (136) and A.J. Ellis (131) caught more games.
"He has played a lot more than what we anticipated," Giants manager Bruce Bochy says. "We didn't know how the ankle would hold up, how cranky it would get, the days he would need off.
"He answered all those questions and went beyond with the playing time he's had. I think playing first base has helped some, but that's not a day off. It's a credit to him and how hard he rehabbed to get back on the field."
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson, a former college football player known for his toughness during a 17-year playing career in the majors, expresses similar admiration for Posey's fortitude.
Gibson noticed a time during the season when the rigors of catching while bouncing back from a major injury seemed to be taking a toll on Posey. But the 25-year-old backstop learned to manage the soreness and not only made his first All-Star Game, he also had a monster second half of the season.
After batting .289 with 10 homers, 43 RBI and an .820 OPS (on-base-plus-slugging percentage) before the All-Star Game, Posey cranked it up to the tune of a .385 batting average, 14 home runs, 60 RBI and a 1.102 OPS after it.
From mid-August on, when the Giants most needed him after the drug-related suspension of Melky Cabrera, Posey batted .348.
"He's exceptional. From our side, he's not fun to deal with," Gibson says. "He has a huge impact on their lineup, and my perception is he has a huge impact with the way he leads. If I've seen it, his teammates have seen it. You always want to be led down the right path, and he's certainly on that every day."
Competitors laud return
While his ability to catch regularly was in doubt until he proved it this season, Posey says any concerns about hitting were allayed well before spring training. The swing that produced the fourth batting title for a catcher in NL history — and the first since Ernie Lombardi in 1942 — quickly returned.
"I was lucky enough to get to hit back on the field in late September or early October of last year," he says, "and everything felt as normal as it could at that point, so that was a little bit of relief for me."
Not to mention the Giants, who stayed in the race after his injury but eventually faded as their offense floundered.
This year, they were left for dead by many after Cabrera was suspended but went 30-15 from that point on to run away with the division title, clinching with 10games to spare. San Francisco averaged five runs a game after the All-Star break, second highest in the NL, though Posey is quick to point out he wasn't the only one whose offense picked up.
Angel Pagan's return to the leadoff spot proved a boost, as did the trade acquisitions of infielder Marco Scutaro and outfielder Hunter Pence and the development of youngsters Belt and Brandon Crawford. All but Pence hit better in the second half than in the first.
The Giants produced the fewest home runs in the majors (103) but ranked 12th out of 30 in runs. The offensive thrust is considerably different from the 2010 club that won the first World Series in the San Francisco era. Posey and third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who played in six of the club's 15 postseason games that year, are the only regulars still with the Giants.
"It's a little bit of a younger group," Posey says. "There are a lot of different position players, but the pitching staff is pretty similar. Those guys are our backbone.
"I felt like in 2010 we had an offense that was capable of putting some runs on the board as well. That's the same. We now have a little more speed, and in 2010 we had a few more guys who could hit the ball out of the park, but they're both effective."
Especially with Posey batting cleanup and registering the league's third-leading slugging percentage at .549. As a catcher, though, his contributions — and his case for MVP — go well beyond his offensive output.
Posey handled a staff that had the NL's fifth-best ERA at 3.68, and he threw out 38 would-be basestealers, tops in the majors.
On the flip side, the 87 bases stolen against him ranked second in baseball. Posey's relationship with some of the pitchers also has come under scrutiny because Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito prefer pitching to rookie catcher Hector Sanchez.
Sanchez, though, lauds Posey for his game-calling.
"He knows the hitters really well," Sanchez says, "so whenever I'm catching, I go up to him and ask, 'What do you think about this guy? Does he try to pull the ball? Does he hit breaking pitches on these counts?' He has helped me a lot in my defensive development."
And fellow catchers marvel about Posey's ability to return from such a devastating injury.
"To come back with a super season like that, I'm happy for him," the Diamondbacks' Miguel Montero says. "He's a big presence."

Very Nice!
"Ordered these because they were on sale and caught my eye. I was looking for something gold to go with a dress I will be wearing on vacation in a few weeks. These arrived less than a week after I ordered them, and I am very happy with them. They are flashy, but not too much, and quite comfortable given the heel height. The platform keeps them stable for walking in, and the slingback is comfortable on the ankle. I would have gladly paid more for these!"

It's that time again Calgary. You managed to get ahead of the Mighty Oil by a measly two goals last Battle of Alberta. Fortunately the good guys dug deep and managed to pump eight straight past your goaltending duo. Eight. Straight. Goals.
Let the soundtrack be the sequel to Gangham Style which dropped today. We have a few things to say.
Perhaps someone can explain why the Flames have won two of your last three games since selling off everything of value in the Saddledome including the scoreboard. Do the remaining "NHL calibre players" not understand what needs to happen from here on out? You need to l-o-s-e. Every game. Not squeak out shootout victories in Phoenix and celebrate like you are a few good powerplays away from being back on top.
You're so bad down in Calgary that you are bad at being bad. Let that sink in. Up here we are great at being bad. Hell the Oilers are the Lebron Jameseses of being bad - we understand exactly what it takes. A burning desire to see your squad crater into the league basement at 800 km/h, the ability to mail it in on any given night. You have to want it for heaven's sakes.
Fortunately the Oil will show you how to spectacularly implode as they look to pump another 8 past you tonight. Think of it as helping kick off your 6 year rebuild.
Speaking of people who are doing it wrong the residents of the venerable Wanye Manor here in Edmonton have elected to scalp tickets for tonight and take Edmonton's newest permanent resident - former Morningside Panther Sam Brown - to his first Oilers game.
This guy is one hell of an Oiler fan already mind you - he knows the team from tip to toe and has been streaming games from Australia all year. He knows that Tambo is an indecisive wreck riddled with crippling second guessing and is more interested in solving the Caramilk Mystery than he is figuring out how to take the Oilers to the next level.
But we still have blind faith in the Oilers up here. Yes they may have cooled off after being red hot and yes it's not looking good for the Mighty Oil to streak into the post season. But you gotta keep the faith that selling most of the furniture in the Manor and going to a Saturday Night Battle of Alberta will result in victorious mayhem.
You think the Oil are going to let down Sam Brown at his first Oilers game?
Please. Chalk this up as a win right now.
According to the Oilers official twitter feed there will be no changes in the Oilers lineup from last game
Khabibulin gets the start in net.
The Flames lineup is hard to determine tonight. Their official site has no mention of how things are shaping up, nor does their twitter feed. The ever helpful folks over at Coppernblue have published the lineup below which is quite a different squadron than suggested in the Edmonton Sun today. It's almost as though the Flames themselves are running a smoke screen to mask how far the franchise has fallen.
Anyways, the "lines" are as follows:
Horak - Cammalleri - Baertschi
Glencross- Backlund - Stempniak
Hanowski - Reinhart - Jones
Jackman - Cervenka - McGrattan
Joey MacDonald gets the start tonight until he is inevitably pulled.
Note: Rumour has it that Glencross is out too with some sort of mystery illness - most likely being sick of being a Flame. If this happens chuck another crumb you have never heard of onto a line randomly.
Note 2: In addition to having one of the worst lineups in the NHL, the Flames have to be near the top for the hardest lineup to spell. Who the hell are any of these players? What the hell is a Ben Hanowski?
GAME DAY PREDICTION: Oilers win 5-2 on goals from Hall, Eberle (2), J. Schultz and Yakupov. Scoring for Calgary "who cares" and "some guy you quasi know"
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Oilers remember that they might be on the outside looking in this year but the Flames are on the outside of the outside looking in. They shell them into oblivion.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: After lumbering into his perch in the press box Flames GM Jay Feaster will scan the lineup for tonight's match. "Jeez the Flames don't look very good on paper do they?" After it's brought to his attention that it is in fact his job to fix the lineup he will dimly shrug his shoulders and say "nothing that can't keep till the summer am I right? Now where's that free popcorn I heard about up here?"
From across the press box Steve Tambellini smiles knowingly and gives him the thumbs up.
April 13 2013, 08:29PM
Yale win 4-0 in the frozen four. Agostino: five shots, one assist, plus one. Kellen Jones, five shots, no points, minus three. Gillies named the National Division I Rookie of the Year. College kids are looking good, I'm looking forward to seeing Hanowski.
What could be more of a sure thing... relying on US college players and tiny Euros to turn a franchise around.
My prediction is that FINALLY the oil have a team they can push around; 6-2 oil and little Sven gets snot-bubbled.
4-2 Flames. Sven and Backs get 2 goals each, TJ with 3 assists. It is so on. This is the one game I want the Flames to win. Screw you Oilers.
Flames rolling with Cammalleri-Horak-Aliu as their opening line. Team'll be hurting from missing Glencross; his line with Reinhart and Stempniak was dynamite last game against Phoenix.
The Abbotsford Heat vs the Edmonton Oilers.
@Scary Gary
Who is keelan jones?
Broken gate. Rexall falling apart.
God seeing that tanguay injury replay... I don't care who you cheer for, that looked so painful it'll make anyone cringe.
Who is keelan jones?
Lol funny I was wondering who it was too.
Har har
Hahaha Backs!!!

Just reporting the numbers chief. Speaking of small foreigners, Yak is 5'11, 184. Hanowski is 22 yrs old 6'2, 210, if college players can speed up the rebuild process (remember where Schultz came from?), then I'm all for it.
We likely won't win tonight, nor should we with Macbackup and the AHL kids playing but we'll see how the oiler kids respond now that the playoffs are out of the picture. It's not the best sign when the playoffs are within reach and your players lose four straight.
Final score: 11-10
26 seconds in?
|Oh well we were in for a dollar anyways.
Whoop there it iiiiiis!!
Nice job of pushing back boys.
I am strapping in right now, this is going to be a runaway train baby!!
April 13 2013, 08:49PM
Who is keelan jones?
Sorry it's Kellen, oilers draft pick; it's a shared link so I included the oilers prospect as well.
Sweet we've scored half as many goals in 4 min as we did in the last 4 games..lol
April 13 2013, 08:51PM
What's the over under on this game?
April 13 2013, 08:51PM
Petrell goals are like short handed goals. Just bonus. You have to win when you get them.
Everything going according to plans. #1 pick is within reach :)
Totally kicked it in
It's fascinating watching Aliu and Horak on the same line.
It looks like the Flames have already started their off season routines, they all look winded and beaten already, they must be staying up late and letting themselves go, they are just heaving on the bench already, keep the pedal down and do what you are doing .
Lets break them as early as we can, just keep dishing to yakupov and Nuge and lets see J Schultz bringing it to the net and letting that wrister go as he slides across the middle laterally.
Take er to the net when you dont have the puck and let your teammates rifle shots right away with no heistation, just let er go, its all or nothing tonight so lets try to turn this into a track meet.
April 13 2013, 09:00PM
C'mon, White Skates Smyth!
Akim Aliu is still terrible
Feed the black disc to yakupov, and lets get him a hattrick tonight, just feed him the onetimers FAST AND HARD make the passes that way to him he is a monster and is always ready, it is the PASSES that are to slow for him, he is always ready.
agreed... terrible
Acceptable penalty.
Lets remember to keep the pressure on them , lets go for a shorthanded goal, just open it up river style.
Lets remind the men that we need to take the decision out of the refs hands so we dont get into our own beanbags and complicate the game, we need to put the pedal back down and hammer their young small guys extra hard, and run their tender as we have been, MPS needs to take it right to the net tonight Abdelcator style, long and wide and fast and then back in to tuck the puck in.
The 1st line needs to tell the puck carrier to cut to an open lane sooner after the pass, we are making nice first passes but our shot opportunitys suck, we need to have the passer go to better spots and NOT behind the net, more to the backdoor looking for deflections, the zone entrys the 1st line are making work are perfect for deflections and little scoop-shot onetimers on the fly, quick release.
4 min kill, nice job guys, why does this feel like preseason tonite?
Flames played (and won) last night, yet are out-playing the Oilers through 20 minutes.
To the Rexall faithful: I'm hoping to hear a "FIRE [INSERT NAME HERE]" chant sometime tonight.
Don Cherry has lost his mind

He's a dinosaur.

Flames played (and won) last night, yet are out-playing the Oilers through 20 minutes.
It's not odd, it's Oiler's hockey. Surely they are just waiting for the third period before really cranking up the hussle.
@Scary Gary
It's painful to watch. I still can't decide if his old school ideas are things he actually believes in, or if its just part of his schtick.
Get the feet moving and no more stick fouls, that is not acceptable, we need to take it to them on the PK be more aggressive on the puck carrier and maintain puck pursuit longer than we are. We need to make it clear to them that we are not backing down and this will be a track meet for 2 more periods.
Again we need to take the results out of the refs hands and the only way to do that is to score so lets get on it.
We need to release the puck sooner after the first pass once we are in their wheelhouse and we need to have the men without the puck go to open spots way faster and with more determination.
Lets use some wraparounds, and remember to think deflections because when we do gain the o-zone the 1st line is boxing out the d-man very well, so lets see the same play that both yakupov and Gagner used where they had superior body position and shoveled the puck to the net, that is a nice tactic but lets do the same thing three feet further out, not so close in, same play but just three feet further out.
when the 1st line makes their o-zone entrys they are forcng the d-men to collapse early, so we need to remember to think about the d-man on the point and remember we can hit him for a one timer all night long as soon as they collapse from the pressure to the middle.Believe it or not Smid is the man for this shot.
But we need to remember that the middle pressure is the RIGHT thing to do, we just need a trailer coming in behind to pick off rebounds because they are consistantly trickeling out to the front, this is good now we need to keep doing what we were doing but send in a trailer for those juicy rebounds, we are boxing the d-men out well man for man in front but this means the rebounds are leaking through really slow and sitting there waiting for a d-man to dash in and bury them in the net.
We also need to start throwing some serious hits, all across the lineup we need to hit the Flames all night long to send a message that we arent going to be a just river hockey team, lets feed them some BadMedicine ASAP.
to me it seems kind of counter-intuitive that more hits would mean a better team. I'd actually think that if you had the puck all the time, you wouldn't need to be hitting all the time. Given whats coming out with zone starts as well, if you're carrying the puck in vs. dumping it in, you also shouldn't be hitting as much.

It's hard to give a ship about any of this.
Holy nice drive Jackman
Just so we are aware, a team that is in a "Playoff Race" shouldn't be getting out shot and out chance'd by the Flames, PERIOD. Hell theres a chance the Flames finish with more points, and that is depressing as hell.
Nice play by Jackman. Go Flames. Avs won today so we can win this one :o)
The Flames want to plat River hockey so we need to wake the hell up and transition to offense wayyy sooner from our end, we need to sprint it up immediatly , our d-men need to immediatly activate and we need to transition to offense sooner much sooner.

Florida didn't get the win memo.
The Oil cant be this bad. Please do something to allow us a top 3 pick. You have had the last 10 or so.
