Skip to comments.Maryland Puts Gift Card Bounty on 'Fish From Hell'
Posted on 04/05/2012 9:57:20 AM PDT by GiovannaNicoletta
Wildlife officials in Maryland have put a bounty on the snakehead, the so-called "fish from hell" that can migrate on land and devastates the eco-systems of lakes, ponds and streams.
The state will give out $200 gift cards for Bass Pro Shops as well as other prizes for catching and killing the fish, which is native to Africa and Asia but is believed to have made its way to America through Asian seafood merchants.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
This fish is even meaner than it looks
Wow; looks like a nasty piranha! My Remy 1187 autoloader 12ga would love that workout.
But how does it fry up?
That's odd...I thought Maryland was a "sanctuary state" for illegal immigrants.
Yeah...but is it good eatin'?
Well enough for Asian fish dealers to import it for sale to their community.
I'm not seeing much cheek meat, but I would love to have one to part out and test cook. The forehead looks interesting, depending on how much cartilidge/bone is in it.
Bounty is kind'a misleading. It's an entry into a drawing, not an automatic payment. If it was, Asian fishmongers would be driving loads of them in from all points!
Oh please.....somebody with the necessary computer skills.....please make us a photo of that fish crossed with James Carville.
Well, at the moment I am gorging on a plate of high fin blue catfish filet's caught from earlier in the week.
I called a buddy about this one, and he suggested a hot/sour soup similar to pla chon, and asked if I had a source... LOL! He was a little disappointed that I was just asking for info.
Oh, I dunno. It doesn't look a lot worse than that guy who just this week got a pass on drinking and driving in Massachusetts. Taxachusetts? Somewhere around there, anyway. I can't seem to remember his name.
Unlike most people I season the fish before I bread it. I season with Fiesta brand rib rub and black pepper. Then I bread it with a dry mixture of one part corn meal and one part Martha White cornbread mix. I like to fry between 300 and 325.
Big gut on it, was it full of roe? I'm drooling here.
Actualy he had two tilapia about 8 inches long in his gut. I never ever dress out the belly flap and I always filet out all that red strip down the sides. Cut him up in sizes for frying and soak in salt water for about an hour before bagging in water and freezing. I found that a sandwich baggy holds about a pound and a half of meat, just the right size for a meal and it defrost in the fridge overnight. Also after letting it soak in salt water for an hour I use the sprayer in the sink to rinse untill all the foaming stops.Best frying catfish in the world.
But for sure, the head and the bones go into the stock pot, after the meat comes off. Fish that size has a lot of meat on the head.
And yes, I do love the traditional fried catfish nuggets with catsup that I grew up with. But I eat almost everything on one now. ;)
friends tell me they are delicious, and damn easy to catch a dozen or more in places they are plentiful with an hour's work. And there's no catch limit "cause Maryland want these puppies all gone.
"But how does it fry up?"
Probably has a lot of tiny bones to to deal with!

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Security officers at North Mississippi Medical Center don't carry sidearms.
"You'd be surprised how many people you can talk down without having a weapon on your hip," said Rodney McCoy, a 40-year-old shift supervisor.
On the other hand, soap is something they can't do without.
"Hand washing, yes," said 45-year-old L.T. Foote, a security officer since 2007. "That's necessary."
"Wash the skin off your body, too," said McCoy, who has 13 years of experience. "When I first get home, I take a shower before I play with my kids. You never know what's on your uniform."
Cleanliness makes perfect sense. Officers can't keep others safe if they don't keep themselves safe.
The absence of sidearms makes sense, too.
"You don't want to threaten them," McCoy said. "We're interacting with people all the time. You have to have good verbal skills. Body language is important."
Security officers are trained in the Golden Rule of do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. It's usually an effective strategy, even during heated moments at the emergency room.
"There's a lot of stress in the ER," McCoy said. "If something is going on with a family member, you have people wanting to know what's going on. They get stressed because they can't see the patient. We have to be really calm."
Foote said it's important to shift approaches to diffuse a situation.
"We take on different roles. We're not just security," Foote said. "We may become patient representatives."
In those cases, officers are empowered to find out what family members want to know.
"Mostly, it's common sense," he said. "You have to interact with people without making the situation worse."
Officers have different postings that change every two hours. The ER is one, and officers need to check out the parking lot and walk through the building. Mobile units go to all NMMC properties.
"We make sure everything is secure," McCoy said.
"It's a lot of checking doors, especially after hours," Foote added.
They never know when they'll be dispatched to help control a patient who's coming out of anesthesia.
"Sometimes, they don't know where they are or why they're here," McCoy said.
There also are times when visitors don't respond to a calm approach, and that's when the police are called in.
But officers are far more likely to grab a wheelchair and help someone into the hospital than to ask an unruly person to leave.
"Most people know we're here to help," McCoy said.
After help is rendered, no one begrudges them a few moments with soap and water.
"Yes, yes," Foote said. "You've got to have good hygiene."

A superstar is coming to Edmonton
Jason Gregor
July 07 2009 08:54AM
Sorry Oiler fans but it isn't Dany Heatley, at least not yet, but the Edmonton Rush will have arguably the best lacrosse player in the world on their team today. I know this isn't hockey related, but Edmonton fans have been dying for a superstar and they'll get one today.
Brodie Merrill is one of the faces of Lacrosse in the US as Reebok uses him in all of their ads. Merrill is a 6'4", 215-lb beast. He was transition player of the year in the NLL this past season, has made the all-star team in all four of his seasons, and is easily the best all-around player in the game.
He would be similar to Scott Niedermayer, except he is tough as nails. Merrill can score, runs like a deer and is a great defender.
The Portland Lumberjaxs were rumoured to be relocating to Seattle, but that won't be happening, and they will fold instead. This means a dispersal draft of their players, and Merrill is their best player. The Rush has the first pick in the draft, and with former Lumberjax coach and GM, Derek Keenan, now the coach and GM of the Rush it's a lock Merrill will chosen by the Rush.
In the NLL, if a player is based in the west, there's a better chance he'd rather play in the west division. The season is only four months, and many of the players fly in for games and practices, so if your guys are based out west it is easier and cheaper to get them to Edmonton, than say Toronto or Philly, and it works the same for eastern based guys.
Scott Self was one of the Rush's best defenders last year, and he'd have lots of cache on the market. With Merrill coming in, I think Self is expendable, because he could land you a proven sniper, something the Rush, just like Oilers, are in dire need of.
Look for the Rush to make a splash today. Keenan knows the Portland players better than anyone, since he coached them the past four years. The Rush clearly needs more offence, but they also need some guys with size. (Another similarity to the Oilers offensive woes.)
Peter Morgan is 6'6" 230 pound forward who has 175 goals in 102 career games. Cory Conway is only 22 years old, has good size at 6'2, and has good speed and a great stick. Ryan Powell led the Lumberjaxs in scoring last year, but he is more of a passer than a finisher. After Keenan takes Merrill at #1 you can bet he will try and trade for a few more picks in the dispersal draft today.
Ryan Benesch is currently leading the OLA (summer lacrosse) in scoring and while he struggled in Edmonton last year, he will be an attractive player to a team like Toronto (2nd pick) Minnesota (3rd pick), Rochester (4th pick), Philly (5th pick) or Minnesota (6th pick).
I can see the Rush trying hard to get three of the first six picks, and Keenan's fingerprints will be all over this team.
Minnesota has the 3rd and 6th pick, and Self and Benesch would help the Swarm and give the Rush two picks with one trade. This seems like the most likely scenario.
Last year Toronto wanted Self, but the Rush wouldn't move him, but they might with the 2nd pick.
In the second round if Pat Jones is available Keenan should grab him. Ball possession is vital in lacrosse, but the Rush has never had a decent faceoff man. Jones is consistently around 54% and the Rush could use him.
While the Rush doesn't come close to garnering the attention of the Oilers, it is fascinating to see the similarities amongst the two. Both need a sniper, more size on offence and both need help on faceoffs.
Both have missed the playoffs the past three seasons and now both will have a new coach this coming season.
The Rush will get their star player today, and how eerie would it be if the Oilers followed suit sometime this summer?
totally thought we traded our next ten first rounders for the rights to Federov.....
f*ckin tease
blu, dude, that's cold.
D'OH!!! Lacrosse!?!?!? lol
A big F U to Pittsburgh. We're back to being the city of champions now. First Lumsden, then Heatley, now Merrill. Edmonton is back baby!
Seriously though, this is great for the Rush. It's a great product, and they MUST make the playoffs this year.
July 07 2009, 09:02AM
So, any news on Heatly?
Can he skate?
You left out the part how Tambellini donated Cogs, Smid and Penner to the Rush late last night. Under the cover of darkness, the Rush in turn traded the 3 (former) Oilers to a now defunct team-- because they didnt really know how the whole process worked.
You need to make sure you tell the whole story....
July 07 2009, 09:10AM
"...it's a lock Merrill will be coming to Edmonton"
Edmonton may have picked up his rights, but has he actually said he would come to Edmonton?
I remember the last 110% Jason Gregor Guarentee.
July 07 2009, 09:11AM
That's great news. With him in the line-up next season do you think the Rush will at least be competitive? I'd love to see them make the playoffs and even better if they can hit the .500 mark.
July 07 2009, 09:12AM
@ Chester Copperpot: Don't be a douche bag
F**k lacrosse.
If the Rush get Merrril they will be way better. I know most of you are Oiler fans, but this guy is a big time stud. I've loved this site, but this just proves you guys care about SPORTS not just the Oilers. I know the Oil rule, but this is a big story and the first I'd heard of it.
I'm a Rush season ticket holder, this made my day. Thanks Gregor.
Got oil?
This is awesome. They need to make the playoffs. Last year I went to four games and was impressed, if they can win it would make it much better. THey had a line brawl one game, so that made it exciting. Hadn't seen one of those since Bishai was chucking them inside the Thrashers bench...ha

@ Jack D: Have you ever been to a game? Probably not, so keep quiet.
Oilers Nation? Oilers Nation?
C'mon Jason, you're a great hockey guy and I always appreciate your insight but lacrosse on this website?
Why not square dancing or darts?
Please put a disclaimer in the header saying this isn't hockey related.

Ouch...from a guy who can't spell guarantee that really hurts. I jumped the gun, but it still might happen. Get over it. Merrill will come here, and the Rush will be better. The better question is what trades will they make.
THey can't announce any trades until after the draft, but they can get a team to select certain players and then trade for them after draft.
Toronto would make sense wanting Self and the Rush could tell them who to take at #2. Minnesota having the 3rd and 6th pick it might be a bit harder, because it depends who Colorado and Philly take. It will be a busy day for the Rush.
I don't know about the rest of you but I am really pumped to have somebody called 'The best player in the world' at ANY SPORT in Edmonton.
I will definitely be checking out the Rush this year thanks to this.
July 07 2009, 09:27AM
@ WTF!: Man it is one story, and I'm a sports nut not just a hockey nut. Clearly Bingofuel did a great job in enticing you to look.
July 07 2009, 09:35AM
Take it easy, you maniacs. We're trying different things out to give you different content to read in JULY.
Personally, I have never been to a lacrosse game in my life, but then again I was shocked to learn there was a NEW Mexico.

HAHA! Didn't think there would be this much humour the morning.
Nice one, Gregor!
I know Merrill played in Portland last year but isn't he from Toronto? Maybe the Rush pick him and trade him to TO for a Western born and raised sniper like Ratcliff.
Man, a lot of you guys are dinks. I, for one, welcome our new OilersRushNation overlords.
*shotguns a can of Bud Light*
Jason, I am determined to get out to a few Rush games this year, and I will try to keep with it, but I gotta ask you about some Oilers stuff.
What do you think about signing Todd Bertuzzi?
Even if Heatleygate is over and he becomes an Oiler, we are still small in the top 6 with Penner gone. There is a hole at 2nd line RW/LW (depending on what side O'Sullivan is playing) regardless.
I'm sure we could get him for $2.25 mil or less at this point.
maybe the new url could be sportsingeneralthathappeninoilersnation.com! I get that we like other sports, but this is OILERS nation dot com.
I love you Gregor, but Information Architects everywhere are crying. Bit of a Cincinnati Handshake if you ask me.

I hate Bertuzzi about as much as anyone, but hell, I'd do it. He's gotta be more effective than Nilsson.
I'm not a Lacrosse fan, never really checked it out as I only have so much time/ energy and the oil use up most of this. That being said, not sure why the venom towards Gregor for posting the odd story not related to Oilers. He can only post so much about the never changing Heatley story and there is nothing else going on. I guess he could just post: "Horcoff, 1st or 3rd line centre- discuss" and we could amuse ourselves.

Doods, that shoulda been bud light lime.
Which, it should be noted, you can't find anywhere in this city. Not because it's a shitty beer and we refused to even make it available here. Because we have shitty beer drinkers who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground who have been buying it up in pick-up-truck-filling loads while mouth breathing out of their bud light lime holes.

Thanks, humantorch, I though I was the only one.
I agree with everybody who says anybody good at something coming to compete for Edmonton at anything is good news, not to mention a breath of fresh air from million dollar baby hockey players.
July 07 2009, 09:52AM
@ blu:
lol, great rant.
More of an Alley Kat Apricot Wheat Ale fan are you?
A simple title of "Edmonton Rush: A Superstar is comnig to Edmonton" would have saved you guys a bunch of complaining. Only takes a second and would save you much comment related grief.
I'm just saying.
There was a ton of bud lite lime at sherbrooke liquor store on 118ave and Groat road (what should be called Messier, I don't know why they didn't extend the name all the way down to Hawrlak) at the traffic circle.
Sherbrook has the biggest beer section in the city that I've seen. :)
Alley Kat is alright but St. Ambroise is by far the best Apricot Wheat Ale with Pyramid running second. Both can be found st Sherbrooke.
It would be nice to get some $$ for promoting the store on ON!
July 07 2009, 10:00AM
Nice! Good for the Rush! Maybe this will increase viewership.
So if Phoneix folds, can we finally get Doan?
July 07 2009, 10:01AM
Hey Bingofuel, any chance you can pull down the score from our last game?? I look at that everyday and it drives me nuts to see that score, its like we lose 4-1 to the flames everyday!
July 07 2009, 10:02AM
@ NonMint: Dude, the FIRST LINE says that the article will be about the Rush. If you don't have an interest and can't figure it out from there, then obviously your comments shouldn't apply. Some people are just rediculous.

I would imagine that they pretty much only renamed the section between Edmonton and St. Albert to minimize the impact on businesses that would need to change their legal business addresses, reprint signage, letterheads, business cards, and all the residents along the road once you get south of the Yellowhead.
Did any of you whiners read the small print and see that OMG is actually The Voice of Your Edmonton Rush? Just another reason Gregor gets to throw up a story whenever the f*** he wants.
@ blu:
I have it from a source down here (it's nice having a pal that works at one of the Bud bottling facilities) that BLL will soon be available in kegs! It's tasty when it's your first (or maybe even the 5th) of the day, but a keg? I dunno, man... I'll let you know how it works out!
July 07 2009, 10:04AM
Bud light lime in a can = barf
Bud light lime in a bottle = 1 or 2, then barf.
Alley Kat Apricot Wheat Ale, might as well call it Girlbeer, shorter and to the point.
Chester Copperpot wrote:
@ blu: lol, great rant. More of an Alley Kat Apricot Wheat Ale fan are you?
I was worried it might not make it through moderation.
In line at the liquor store I always check out what people in front and behind me are picking up. Part of it is just people watching, but another part of it is curiosity about what other people find good (ie - willing to trade earth munnies for).
Consistently, I'm in line with my usuals (Innis & Gunn, Hoegaarden, Kilkenny, Lvivske ...) and I often spend the same as those around me, only they carry out a 36 of some swill I wouldn't pour into a hub cap for a dog to lap up while I maybe have 8 or 10.
Now, I'm ok with diversity of people and their tastes. I encourage it, even. Sadly, that means you have to take the good with the bad. And normally, I endure it, though I'll admit to careful muttering.
Some things push me over the top though. Things like, oh, any North American car. Things like new suburb developments that include features like maze-like warrens of streets and dead ends named the same thing that aren't actually wide enough to let two cars pass each other. Things like wasted oil money surpluses in the millions or billions.
And things like our city flocking to a beer so shitty, they had to jam some fake lime chemicals into it and cross their fingers.
Sorry, I guess I'm in a ranting mood.
July 07 2009, 10:07AM
@ DanMan:
I brought up Alley Shat as a joke, I can't believe people with a choice pay their own money drink that.
Pumphouse Blueberry is great.
Some flavoured beers, like AlleyKat, start swinging toward the cooler zone. Not good for the stomach. Pumphouse and St. Ambrose are legit. Manly beers you wont be ashamed to offer your buddies.
July 07 2009, 10:12AM
I bet lacrosse players would be good at planting themselves in front of the net and tipping point shots with their acute hand-eye coordination. They don't need to skate very well to do that. Maybe he could wear broomball shoes.
I say the Oilers give him a shot.
Is Heatley here yet?
hmmm.... BeerNation.com?
Alley Kat is a solid Edmonton run micro-brewery run by good people trying to make it an already beer pickled world. They would all sell their left nuts to help you enjoy an Edmonton brewed beer. They are sometimes overly sweet beers and need to be consumed in moderation, but have a pumpkin pie spiced beer or raspberry ale before you get licked on Black Label Ice. A cold, sweet beer on a 30 degree Friday evening is an awesome way to start your weekend.
Well not to rain on anybody's parade but NLLinsider.com is reporting Merrill's people are trying to get him declared a UFA based on a contract dispute with Portland...
HAHA good one Gregor! You've fooled me twice now. First with the Heatley 100% lock on coming to Edmonton thing... now this. My heart can only take so much!

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery County Public Lands Council met in their December meeting. Rod Player, vice-chairman conducted the meeting. He said the lands council meetings can be listened to on the website.
The Emery County Public Lands Bill was discussed. The county is still working with Rep. Rob Bishop's office and they are asking for input.
Ray Petersen, public lands director said Rep. Bishop issued a report that's available on his website that details what's being done. Currently Emery County is waiting for the other counties to move forward. Some of the counties are moving slowly, but Grand County seems to be moving along fairly quickly.
Randy Johnson, public lands consultant said Rep. Bishop would like to have something ready to introduce by early next year. The first big step will be to create a map. But, Johnson said once a map is released it's hard to refine and can create difficulties if the map changes in anyway. Once the map is out there will be time for public comment. Johnson said, "Rep. Bishop is doing a great job and Ray is doing a great job on this."
The council approved the meeting schedule for 2014 and the meetings will be the first Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m.
Don from the Bureau of Land Management reported the crew has been working on the mine closures east of I-70. They will resume work in early January. The rangeland for the desert is at 90 percent. From the Swinging Bridge to I-70 it is a little lower. Things look good for winter grazing.
A restroom has been installed at the equestrian campground at the Swinging Bridge. There is still some landscaping to be done and after a year of settling, there will be some concrete work completed.
The BLM is providing a supplemental map to the map put out by the DNR and Emery County. This supplement will be stapled to the other map and will clarify some concerns with the original map.
Bryan Torgersen from SITLA said they are working on a land exchange with the DWR for exchanging property the DWR owns in Salt Lake for SITLA land around Desert Lake. SITLA has been involved with Rep. Bishop's office on a land exchange for SITLA land within the land use proposal. SITLA is selling 80 acres of property at the Green River Industrial Park to the oil refinery. SITLA is looking to sell 20 acres near Lawrence that abuts private property.
Bill Broadbear from the forest service said things are quiet on the forest. Christmas tree sales are going on now and there are 150 permits left in the Ferron office and 110 left in the Price office. When they are gone, that will be all for this season. Preliminary discussions are to open the campgrounds below the Forks of Huntington for next season. Day use only in the Seeley fire area. Forks of Huntington would be open to day use, but closed to camping. Currently no work is going on in the forest, but plans are to work on the debris racks next season.
Petersen said he attended a sage grouse meeting with Commissioner Nelson. Emery County has two groups of sage grouse one on Horn Mountain and the other in the Pines area mostly in Sevier County. Emery County supports the combining of alternatives D and E. Emery County has been working with the Parker Mountain group. The deadline for comments is Jan. 31. Petersen recommended everyone comment on the sage grouse. You need to say Utah has managed Greater Sagegrouse for years and has been very successful in increasing numbers. The state needs to be allowed to continue their management. The working groups established years ago should be allowed to continue. "It's a success story," said Petersen.
Petersen said while in Richfield they were able to talk to Juan Palma the BLM state director about the recently deferred oil and gas leases. He assured them the leases are not withdrawn and will be put up for lease in the future after further study. Petersen reminded everyone that in the Price Office RMP, these areas were identified as being good spots for development. There are pictographs and petroglyphs in the area that are protected by AC/ECs. "You can have lease and archaeological sites in the same place," said Petersen.
The extreme environmental groups lead you to believe they can't exist together, but that's not true said Petersen.
Petersen and others commented how the press from upstate misrepresented the areas which were presented for leasing. One picture used was of Eagle Canyon and another of Spotted Wolf, which weren't areas proposed for leasing. Eagle Canyon runs a long way and leasing doesn't impair Eagle Canyon in any way.
Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development Director said they sent a small book to the BLM, back during the comment period for the RMP that addressed the prehistoric structures as well as cowboy history in the Swell. The BLM had all the background information on the area.
Commissioner Nelson said mining has taken place across the Swell in several locations throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Mining and drilling in the Swell isn't new.
The commission has sent a letter to the Washington delegation to ask for their help in getting the 100,000 acres back on the table for leasing.
The question was asked about what type of drilling would take place. McCandless said the drilling would be 9,000-13,000 feet deep and there wasn't any ground water in the area. Fracking would be used and it's the Manning Canyon formation.
McCandless said the county inspects and approves all drill pads that go in. They monitor site disturbance, fracking and are very aggressive on what they allow to go on within the county.
Petersen brought up the bouldering recreational use that goes on in Straight Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. They recently had a meeting with the Wasatch Climbing Alliance and the BLM, Emery County and the forest service. Because the use is so great, the county is thinking of including some type of recreational use management plan for the area. This designation would be included in the public land use bill. The trails committee will prepare something to bring to the public lands council. The commission would have final approval on any proposal.
Petersen said with every new use, challenges come up and this would be a way to deal with accommodating the use and protecting the resource. The forest service has hired someone to collect data on the bouldering activities and use. It would be a Special Recreation Management Area. Petersen said it's best to work within a designation that already exists.
Commissioner Nelson said the Joe's Valley rocks are famous and the climbers have a map and have named 40-50 of the rocks in the area as great for climbing.
Jonathan Hunt from the Utah State Parks said they are holding an ice fishing tourney in Scofield on Dec. 28. They will take the first 200 fisherman to sign up. The cost is $15 and that will come back to the anglers in prizes. The snowcat is ready to groom the snowmobile trails and will begin to do so after two feet of snow arrives.
The investigation is complete into the incident where a hoodoo was toppled in Goblin Valley State Park. The Emery County Attorney's Office is researching what the rock topplers should be charged with.
Mistie Christiansen said the Price River watershed plan is being developed and they have a meeting this week.
Petersen reported so far the water is a little more than 100 percent of average. The next public lands meeting will be held on Jan. 7, 2014 at 10 a.m.

Cute, Versatile, but NOT comfy
"Let's start with the pros: these boots are versatile enough to wear all the time but still have a unique look/ edge to them. I have gotten several compliments on them. Cons: I generally have a fairly good tolerance for uncomfortable shoes- but these really weren't the best :/ When I buy boots, I want an all-day, on-the-go shoe that I am able to wear at work or out on the town. The soles of these shoes are just too thin and slippery and caused blisters. It's not a total loss I still wear them, but I don't think I would purchase them at that price again."

Comfy & Versatile
"These shoes are so comfy! I wear heeled shoes often, but if you aren't used to a heel, these shoes would be a great starter! I also love how versatile these can be. I can pair with shorts or a dress/skirt for summer, but they also look great with jeans or leggings on chillier days."

"I was a little hesistant to get the brown colored ones since i always have had black boots. However, I'm glad i got the brown ones. They are a little lighter than the pictures shows. They fit a little tight when I first wore them, but after breaking them in, they are good."

The Strike King Sexy Spoon is here and is large and in charge. Spoon fishing is nothing new to many fisherman but now it's quickly become a valuable tool for fishing deep structure. The Sexy Spoon is designed to emulate a dying baitfish, the flash, flutter and fall of the Sexy Spoon is unlike any other spoon on the market. Fished around submerged brush, deep grass or muscle beds there is no wrong way to fish the Sexy Spoon. Most commonly retrieved by stroking the spoon, this technique yields some big fish! Once again, this is a big fish bait!
Note: All Sexy Spoons are painted chrome. All non painted areas are chrome.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Awesome bait! Unlike other companys strike king has a large hook that helps when the fish slap at them. If you get hung up just keep a tight line, go on the other side of the spoon and shake it. The weight of the spoon will help it unhang itself. Also add a swivel to the split ring on top to keep the line from twisting.
From: John
Comments:Get these and you will be selecting for bigger than average bass. The "Neon Shad" color does a great job of imitating big shiners up north (Lake Erie/Niagara River). You can't go wrong with the awesome fluttering action of these spoons. The bonus big Pike are a definite plus in my book. Worth every penny. Great prespawn/cold water bait. I know I will get the big ones on deep structure in the summer too.

In Scranton, the parking meter rate will soon go up to $1.50 per hour. Much of New York City has parking meter rates that are lower. Good luck with that revenue building, bring-the-folks-downtown plan.
In her post-concussion days it seems Hillary Clinton is sporting new eyeglasses and some medical experts say it's because she suffers lingering effects from her knock on the noggin. Evidently close-up pictures of Hillary reveal her glasses are outfitted with something called a 'Fresnel lens'. I know, I had to look it up too. It's pronounced 'freh-NEL' and it's something eye health professionals prescribe for patients who are suffering from double vision. Guess she took a pretty good shot when she fell. I'm sure that besides the double vision, there's nothing else we need to know.
Despite the dire Sunday night predictions, there was no snow or ice on the ground when most of the schools in northeast PA had called off by 5:30 this morning. Better safe than sorry? It's about the kids? I wish I believed it was about the kids but I believe it's more about superintendents worrying about how hot the phone lines to Metzger and Wickersham would get with the first school bus to do a 3mph slide into a stop sign at an intersection that got short-changed on road brine.
Lackwanna County commissioners Jim Wansacz and Corey O'Brien are throwing a cocktail party nexy month and you're invited!

Chapter 29
Job recalls his former prosperity and greatness—He was blessed because of his righteousness, his charity, and his good deeds.
1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
3 When his
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the
5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
12 Because I delivered the
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

You have to divulge the secret location for visitors
Ok Major Announcement - We are Moving Into our New 2,000 Sq foot Shop With Showroom as of April...
The Showroom should be open in May... so if you in the NY/NJ/CT/PA Aera and couldn't make any shows you can visit us and see
even more then we bring to the show....
Only Bigger and better things will come from the extra room..
I will post when its officially open...
Thanks and God Bless
You have to divulge the secret location for visitors
As soon as we are ready to open ....
Make sure you have an extra hand to run the show room...
We tried that before and it was a HUGE waste of time as many people came in to look and ask questions, but no one ever came in planning to buy anything. If you do the show room i'd suggest something small and open by appt only. Now, our shop is on the outskirts of the city, and there is alot of traffic that comes by the shop, so im sure that played into it. If it is in a more isolated area you should be fine.
By Appt only...we are not gonna open to the public...Because we are not meant for everyone. Haunted Houses and Yard Haunters only...
Thanks for the Advice !

The top of the preseason USA TODAY Sports Top 25 Coaches Poll has an odd look in 2013: LSU, Oklahoma and USC are nowhere to be found.
Those three schools comprised three of the top four spots in last season's rankings. This year, none were able to crack the top 10.
TOP 25: USA TODAY Sports preseason poll
That's a dramatic shift as the Tigers, Sooners and Trojans have collectively dominated the preseason poll in recent years.
Oklahoma is the only team in the last 12 years to be in the top 10 of every preseason poll.
USC has been in the top five every year since 2004 when they were eligible for the poll. NCAA probation kept the school out in 2010 and 2011.
LSU has been in the top 10 in seven of the past nine seasons.
So before this year, that's 23 of a possible 25 appearances since 2004.
The rare lack of support from coaches comes with each team facing challenges after disappointing seasons.
ANALYSIS: Breaking down the teams in the Top 25
They Tigers start at No. 13, behind five other SEC teams, as Les Miles is unexpectedly facing with a major rebuilding job after 10 juniors left for the NFL. Among them were stalwart defenders Barkevious Mingo, Sam Montgomery and Eric Reid.
LSU has been seamless in its ability to have top-notch defenses after key losses under Miles, but he has never dealt with this big of a talent drain.
The offense has its own concerns with leading rusher Jeremy Hill suspended after pleading guilty to battery. That puts a ton of pressure on Zach Mettenberger, who must make a big improvement in his second season as a starter.
CRASHING PARTY: Five teams that missed Top 25 but could surprise
Oklahoma will open the season at No. 16. Adding insult to the end of their top 10 streak is that in-state rival Oklahoma State sits ahead of the Sooners in the preseason for the first time since USA TODAY Sports took over the poll in 1991.
There's one positive to note if you are an OU fan. The last time it was ranked this low was 2000, the same year Oklahoma won its last national title.
If Bob Stoops is to win title No. 2, he must answer some questions, starting at quarterback with the departure of Landry Jones. The job is expected to go to Blake Bell. The junior has starred running the football out of the team's Belldozer formation, but hasn't shown ability to throw consistently.
There's also challenges for a defense that allowed more than 40 points in three of the last four games. Four of the top five defensive line are gone, and only standout cornerback Aaron Colvin returns as a starter in the secondary.
INSIDE NUMBERS: Six cool facts about the USA TODAY Sports preseason poll
Although both LSU and OU disappointed in 2012, they each finished 10-3. USC ended up unranked after losing five of its last six games, including an embarrassing loss to Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl.
USC squeaked into this year's poll at No. 24. The Trojans played the final two games without quarterback Matt Barkley and mustered just 20 points with Max Wittek at quarterback. Wittek is competing with Cody Kessler and freshman Max Browne for the starting spot.
The defense also is undergoing change with Lane Kiffin's dad, Monte, out as the unit's coordinator and some key personnel losses. And the Trojans will still be operating with just 75 scholarship players for the second consecutive year.
The low preseason rankings aren't a death sentence to title aspirations of these three teams. Auburn won it all in 2010 after opening at No. 23. Notre Dame managed to find its way to Miami after beginning last year at No. 24.
The rankings do mean the Tigers, Sooners and Trojans have less margin for error than teams at the top. Auburn and Notre Dame went undefeated. A loss for LSU, OU or USC will require a lot of ground to be made up before the final BCS rankings on Dec. 1.

To remove spoilers from a description, especially a movie or TV summary, that might otherwise give away the ending or a plot twist to the unsuspecting reader. Can either be done by omitting spoiler content entirely, or by masking it on a web page in a way that the user has to click through or highlight text to read it.
You should spoilerize that movie review better, so people don't find out he was dead all along.

Cong. Kathy Hochul ran in part on having no changes to medicare, and her party embraced the idea as a template for future congressional elections. Yet the head of the party, President Barack Obama has suggested that Medicare and Social Security changes could be on the table, in exchange for the tax hikes that he wants to see in a $4 trillion debt reduction plan.
Hear what Hochul said about this, on a recent Hardline program
The size of a deficit-cutting package is one of the issues still to be worked out as President Barack Obama and congressional negotiators sit down again y at the White House. Obama still wants to see revenue increases as part of any agreement, but Republicans remain firmly opposed.

A Second First Term
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden seemed especially energized on the campaign trail. They are doing what they do best--campaigning. They've also been recently criticized for having no second term agenda. And how do they answer? With a recently thrown together pamphlet with several points on how they will conduct their second term.
The problem is that this pamphlet is about economic patriotism. Economic patriotism is Obama's euphemism for "let's raise taxes." And when they say "let's raise taxes, "they're including everybody on that. Not just the rich, not just the wealthy, not just the 1%. Everybody.
Also included in the pamphlet is a lot of government spending. Recruiting 100,000 teachers, rebuilding infrastructure, rebuilding schools. That's all there is to patriotism. Emptying out the treasury in order to appease any special interest group that may include a voting block for you. We have added nearly $6 trillion to the national debt over the past four years and can barely increase the GDP by 2%. It's disgraceful.
Why weren't some of these things done in the first term? President Obama has continued to blame a Republican house for the failures of not being able to get his policies through. In the first two years, he had super majorities in both houses. yet he blames Republicans. Why doesn't he take a look at his community organizing background and realize the presidency involves working with some of the 535 members. Working with Congress seems to be too difficult when compared to fund raising and campaign stops. Perhaps that's why it's called work.
Whatever happened to those shovel ready jobs? After nearly 4 years, something could've gotten planned. Instead, we spent the money on the stimulus and continue to have nothing to show for it. Now we're supposed to plan for a second stimulus in the second term?
It's time to start cleaning things up in Washington. And as president Obama has said, it's going to take more than one president to do so. Hopefully the next president will not spend all the time blaming his predecessor and making excuses. Because the job is too difficult for the president, the entire country is supposed to wait another four years for things to happen. Dn't we have a choice with a candidate who make things happen? Why should the entire nation have to endure another four years of poor economic growth and high unemployment because our president has put in place poor policies that are hindering the recovery effort? It doesn't sound like the president is really on our side. We need a president with a real plan. We need a president with a plan that will take us to a real recovery. We need a president that will get America working again. We need a president that knows the difference between results and simply saying that he has tried. We need to elect Mitt Romney.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is stepping down on Friday. The former first lady, turned Senator from New York, turned Democratic presidential candidate, turned nation's top diplomat says "these last days have been bittersweet for me." (Jan. 31) AP
Hillary Rodham Clinton formally resigned Friday as the 67th U.S. secretary of state, capping a 4-year tenure in the office.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's plan for the year was simple.
She'd embark on an epic swansong around the world as U.S. secretary of state, a dizzying itinerary that would take her past 1 million miles in the air at the helm of American diplomacy and perhaps break her own record of 112 countries visited while in the post. Then, there would be a long rest, time and work with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, on development issues and a sequel to her 2003 memoir Living History.
Finally, she'd make a destiny-defining decision: whether to try again to become America's first female president.
Her health got in the way: a nasty stomach virus while returning from a weeklong trip to Europe, exhaustion, severe dehydration, a faint, a fall and a concussion that led to a brief hospitalization when doctors discovered a blood clot near her brain. The woman who'd seemed to lay the perfect groundwork for another presidential bid was sidelined by circumstances beyond her control.
It was a rare sign of vulnerability in what had been a carefully charted four years, where as a peace mediator, international enforcer and global ambassador of America she fully emerged from the shadow of her husband. But it was not the only sign.
The deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, revealed an episode of State Department miscommunication on her watch that could feed into her diplomatic legacy and give future political opponents, should she return to politics, an opening to exploit.
At times emotional and frequently combative, Clinton rejected Republican suggestions in two congressional hearings that the administration tried to mislead the country about the attack that killed Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans. She insisted the State Department is moving swiftly and aggressively to strengthen security at diplomatic posts worldwide.
In the final spectacle of a diplomatic career that ends Friday when John Kerry succeeds her, she would not be browbeaten.
Pressed perhaps once too often on why the terrorist assault was miscast as a public protest in the days afterward, Clinton went after her Republican inquisitor with her voice rising and quivering in anger. "What difference, at this point, does it make?" she demanded. "It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."
On Thursday, Clinton denounced those who still insist the administration lied about the attack.
"There are some people in politics and in the press who can't be confused by the facts," she told The Associated Press in her last one-on-one interview as secretary of state. "They just will not live in an evidence-based world. And that's regrettable. It's regrettable for our political system and for the people who serve our government in very dangerous, difficult circumstances."
Clinton's responses confirmed she had lost none of the vigor that had taken her from defeated Democratic Party presidential candidate to one of the world's most popular and recognizable women.
Even before her ailments, people close to her were debating the pros and cons of another presidential run. Would it be worth the cost in time, energy and especially money — her 2008 campaign debt was just retired in January — and would it spark a new round of personal attacks on her, her husband and her character?
Polls show her as the popular favorite for 2016; no Democrat is better placed right now to unify the party. With instant national appeal and the highest approval ratings of her political career, she would also presumably have a head start on any Republican candidate in a general election. And at age 69, she'd hardly be too old to lead. She'd be five years younger than Vice President Joe Biden, a possible party rival.
Yet any sense of inevitably is decidedly premature. After all, Clinton was considered the prohibitive favorite for the 2008 Democratic nomination for several years, right up until Obama beat her in Iowa. Like Obama, some of the potential contenders for 2016 are largely unknown quantities whose strengths cannot yet be measured.
Some of that hard-earned respect would vanish the moment she re-emerges as the face of the Democratic Party and becomes a critical player in rancorous debates over immigration, abortion, debt, taxes, health care and more.
Asked on the eve of her departure from the State Department if she still had contributions to make, she replied "Absolutely," but stressed that the how and when were not yet clear.
"I haven't decided yet," she told the AP. "I really haven't yet. I have deliberately cabined it off. I am going to be secretary of state until the very last minute when I walk out the door. And then I am going to take the weekend off and then I may start thinking about all the various offers and requests and ideas that have come my way."
In the final months of her tenure as secretary of state, Clinton helped secure a cease-fire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip and ordered a series of changes in the operations of her department in response to the Benghazi attack.
She also has remained committed to core interests such as women and children in developing economies and civil society in repressive countries — issues she has tried to elevate to an equal diplomatic footing with peace processes and trade talks.
It was not always an easy path. Early on as secretary, amid talk that she was losing influence within the administration, Clinton embarked on a lengthy trip to Africa to highlight those issues, only to be upstaged by the arrival of her husband and his entourage in North Korea to free two American journalists.
Despite a historic visit to war-ravaged Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the seven-nation, 11-day tour of the continent is best remembered for her testy exchange with a student in Kinshasa who asked what Bill Clinton thought about Chinese influence in Africa. "You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?" she asked. "My husband is not the secretary of state. I am. So, you ask my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I'm not going to be channeling my husband."
In one early embarrassment, she presented a Russian official with a button that was supposed to say "reset," conveying the Obama administration's wish to mend ties with the Kremlin. The button had been erroneously translated into Russian and read "overcharged."
And, she has not been shy in speaking her mind.
At an event in Pakistan in 2009, Clinton said she found it hard to believe that no one in the Pakistani government knew where Osama bin Laden was, prompting an outcry. Again, in Pakistan Clinton defended deeply unpopular drone strikes against militant targets.
On her first trip abroad as secretary of state, Clinton raised eyebrows by saying that differences over human rights could not hold the entire U.S.-Chinese relationship hostage. This upset human rights activists, who had been sympathetic to her presidential bid.
Clinton stuck to her guns, though, and three years later, she was able to negotiate the release of the blind Chinese lawyer who had taken refuge at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, while re-opening a human rights dialogue with Beijing.
It was one of her biggest diplomatic triumphs, alongside her historic trip to Myanmar. With signs of the long-repressive regime opening, Clinton in December 2011 became the first secretary of state in 56 years to visit the country, urging it along its reform path and sitting down with the long-imprisoned opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
She traveled to every country in Southeast Asia in the end, strengthening ties with old enemies from the Vietnam War and showing China that it wouldn't be able to steamroll its smaller neighbors in maritime and other disputes without also facing U.S. resistance.
Successes also included a tenuous oil deal between Sudan and South Sudan, persuading China and others to implement crippling oil sanctions against Iran and elevating gay rights — much like she did with women's rights in the 1990s — to a new level of global credibility.
Yet Clinton leaves with many international crises unresolved, such as Syria's civil war and Egypt's democratic future. The U.S.-Israel alliance is on shaky ground, terrorism is on the rise in North Africa, there's an unclear endgame to the Afghanistan war and Israelis and Palestinians are no closer to a two-state peace solution than they were four years ago. And, despite endless warnings, Iran's nuclear program has moved closer to weapons capacity.
In all, Clinton spent 401 days on overseas travel and almost three months in the air.
Oftentimes she made a splash in the world without even trying.
In Italy, an impromptu 2011 shopping expedition to the Salvatore Ferragamo store with her aide de camp, Huma Abedin, caused a major traffic tie up in central Rome. A visit to ancient ruins at Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat temple complex turned the heads of hundreds of other tourists.
Photos of her drinking a beer at a bar in Colombia made newspaper front pages. A video of her dancing at a dinner in South Africa became a hit online as did the "Texts from Hillary" meme, featuring a photo of a stern-looking Clinton peering through sunglasses at her Blackberry while aboard a military plane en route to Libya.
A village in India is named for her. In 2010 in Kosovo, Clinton's motorcade made an impromptu stop at a store called "Hillary" just a stone's throw from a statue of her husband on the main road from the airport to the capital of Pristina. She happily posed for pictures there with her entourage.
She dealt confidently with the first major hiccup of her watch, the release of hundreds of thousands of classified State Department cables by WikiLeaks, which caused deep embarrassment as it laid bare confidential and often harsh assessments of foreign leaders by U.S. diplomats around the world and put at least several informants at risk.
Aside from her recent health scare, Clinton has not been immune from personal tragedy while serving as top diplomat.
One of her foreign policy mentors, the diplomat Richard Holbrooke, whom Clinton tapped to run Afghanistan and Pakistan policy, died in December 2010 after suffering a ruptured aorta during a meeting in her office. Less than a year later, Clinton's mother, Dorothy Rodham, died at the age of 92.

Five things: There's this now
Ryan Lambert
September 19 2012 08:09AM
1. So many departures
And so the great movement of NHL players to foreign leagues begins in earnest, just days after almost everyone on a two-way deal gets shipped to the AHL (sorry Tyler Seguin!).
Wondering where your beloved Flames are going to end up, and who they're going to play with? This page from Dobber Hockey has all your answers. Elite Prospects, meanwhile, has a great page for keeping up with overseas scoring during the lockout as well.
As for the AHLers, the only actual full-time NHL players that will be in Abbotsford are Roman Horak and, if you wanna stretch the definition a bit, Sven Baertschi. Akim Aliu, Leland Irving, etc. will also be down there, but you already knew that.
Currently, there are only two Flames slated to play in Europe as well. The first is Roman Cervenka, who will play in Prague with the Czech league's Slavia Praha. The only other NHL player currently on their roster is Vladimir Sobotka, who's a very nice little player. Neither have played a game yet, though Slavia's season is already two games old. The team is already 0-2 in those and has scored just two goals, so that kind of performance is something with which Cervenka won't be unfamiliar when he comes to Calgary.
Jiri Hudler, meanwhile, is off to HC Lev in the KHL, and that's also located in Prague, oddly enough. There will be an NHLer with him there as well: Jake Voracek. That's a player from whom Hudler could learn a lot, because Voracek rules.
There will, likely, be more of these announcements as the lockout wears on, but just how many is tough to say. Let's hope guys like, say, I don't know, just to pick a name at random, Jarome Iginla don't end up sitting out the lockout altogether. We all know how that ends up.
2. Enough with this playing through injuries stuff
"Playing Through It" is supposed to be one of the great things about hockey. Henrik Sedin once had part of his finger cut off during a game so he could get back out there. Lots of guys have taken a slapshot square in the teeth and returned later in the net. We love when they do that kind of thing. What warriors, what will to win, what a way to play this sport.
At what point, though, do we go "Wow this is really friggin' stupid?" How about dumb Joe Colborne and the dumb Toronto Marlies, the dumb farm team for the dumb Maple Leafs? Sometime after Christmas, Colborne tore two ligaments in his wrist, and was told by team medical staff that technically he probably shouldn't play through it but he wouldn't be able to do any more damage. What he didn't know at the time, or didn't know later on because that same medical staff was pumping his wrist full of cortisone to make him physically capable of playing, is that he also had a broken wrist.
That latter fact was only when he went in for surgery. Over the summer. The fact is, Colborne played at least from January all the way to June (the Marlies lost in the Calder Cup Finals) with two torn wrist ligaments and broke his wrist at that time, and no one stopped him from playing. This despite his scoring just five goals in more than 40 games during that time. He had 13 before that.
And the thing is, because the Marlies went so deep into the playoffs, Colborne delayed his surgery, and his rehab schedule didn't allow him to start getting his wrist back into shape until fairly late in the summer. He's not sure he'll be 100 percent for training camp. So to what end, then, did Colborne suffer through this injury and the accompanying treatments in the name of Playing Through It?
It was irresponsible of him to do so, sure, but also of his team's medical staff for not properly assessing that he had broken his wrist, and for allowing him to get on the ice (because in the end, who's signing their paychecks? Hint: the Maple Leafs), and of the team.
Shameful stuff from an organization that should know better by now.
3. Somehow, no one's raising a stink about this...
Here's something that should hit close to home for Calgarians: a golf tournament controversy.
While several current Flyers, all of whom are technically without jobs right now, showed up to a golf tournament to benefit charity, hosted by Scott Hartnell, many of the team's staff did not, presumably operating under orders from the National Hockey League.
As late as Sunday, Hartnell was under the impression that team vice president Bobby Clarke, coaches Peter Laviolette, Joe Mullen, Craig Berube, and Jeff Reese, and director of player personnel Ian Laperriere would be playing. But they were no-shows.
"They were all coming," Hartnell told the Courier Post. "I think they got a call from either Gary Bettman or Bill Daly, which is sad."
Negotiations and lockouts are one thing, but telling team employees who aren't locked out that they can't go to charity golf tournaments if they're hosted by players is, you'll forgive the language, a load of shit.
Now I know what you're going to say, that I just said a few weeks ago that it didn't matter if the Flames' players ducked out on their charity golf tournament. The reason it's different is this: The Flames players had somewhere to be. They were scheduled to be at NHLPA meetings. Now, the Flames' golf tournament was scheduled months before the players' meetings, but pressing matters ahead of a CBA disaster that could cost them millions should probably take precedence.
Meanwhile, Laviolette et al had nowhere to be. They probably sat at home all day during the golf tournament, maybe ran some errands. They certainly didn't attend any meetings. This was very much a petty political move by the NHL, and it sucks.
As Lavy might say, "Bettman typical."
4. At least Calgary isn't Edmonton (yet)
Just go ahead and read this gong show justification on the part of Darryl Katz for going to the Edmonton City Council and asking for more money. And look at how much Staples just fawns all over him for doing it. My favorite part is when Katz says, "We committed not to negotiate this deal in public."
Of course, once the Flames wanna move out of the Saddledome, it might end up being the same thing, but for now, it's fun to point and laugh at the car wreck in Edmonton, and for once, it's not on the ice.
5. Another plea
Look, I know if you regularly read this column or follow me on Twitter, you're probably sick of this, but please, if you can donate anything to the youth writing and tutoring center at which I volunteer, 826 Boston, that would be very greatly appreciated. They even take Canadian money with all those funny animals on them.
The link to donate is right here, and yes, I'm going to be bringing this up every week until the end of the fundraiser. Hey, it's not like we have any Flames news to talk about anyway. That's life, dudes. Thanks for indulging me.

That Katz letter is breath taking in it's audacity.
As field of schemes put it, he framed it like he was subsidizing the city rather than asking for a hand-out.
September 19 2012, 08:36AM
As far as full-time NHLers in Abbotsford, won't Brodie be there as well?
Brodie and Bouma will both be there. Irving will not as Feaster fears losing him through waivers. Unlikely but a distinct possibility since a few teams out there looking for depth in goal might take a flyer on a former 1st rounder who isn't a total wash. In fact Leland should just be entering his prime as far as goalies go and a change of scenery might help him out. It's sink or swim time, I hope they give him every opportunity to succeed in Cowtown when the NHL resumes play in 2015.
September 19 2012, 10:33AM
Didn't they say there was going to be a waiver forgiveness during the lockout, Meaning that teams didn't have to use waivers to send guys to the AHL to play during the lockout.
So, would that be a waiver of waivers??
September 19 2012, 10:40AM
Here is the list of Flames going to Abby (including Baertschi):
Sven Baertschi – LW
Roman Horak – C
T.J. Brodie – D
Lance Bouma – LW
These five cleared waivers:
Akim Aliu
Paul Byron
Krys Kolanos
Joe Piskula
Ben Walter
Great piece on TSN.ca. I now understand what the root problem is; simply to many bad markets in the U.S.
You would think players would give over because they would be helping to keep the jobs those teams create.
The bad markets should not be on life support from profitable Canadian teams and a handful of U.S. teams. Clearly the NHL would be better as a 26 - 24 team league. Bettman goes also or future disputes are inevitable. History tells us that.
@ mcculb
I see your point, but the players clearly disagree with you. They don't want to give up salary or jobs, which is why they proposed a new revenue-sharing model during negotiations this summer. Can't say that I blame them either, they gave up a lot last time and it didn't get them the long-term peace it was supposed to.
As far as bad markets and good markets, it pays to remember that markets have cycles, so today's bad market may be tomorrow's good market. In the 1990s, the Canadian teams (at least the ones not in Toronto or Montreal) were the ones losing money. Now with tarsands money and a strong loonie, they are profitable. The economy is really bad right now in a lot of places in the U.S., but some of those teams will be profitable (again) when it improves.
Whether or not 30 is the ideal number of teams, you're always going to have some teams who are raking it in and others who are scraping just to keep the lights on. But you can't play hockey without an opponent, so it's good business to ensure you have opponents to play against. Sometimes that's going to mean "rich" teams subsidizing "poor" teams.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Tyler Hart
Springfield Park E.S., third grade
As the son of a teacher who is now a teacher himself, Tyler Hart – it would be natural to assume – had to have been a school-lover and a model student growing up.
Just the opposite, says Hart.
"I was always the student with the 'X's in the 'talkative' box on my report card," he recalls. "I was always out of my seat. I was not a fan of school."
It wasn't until Hart graduated from University of Richmond and began working at summer camps and an after-school program that teaching really entered his mind. Taking a job as a permanent substitute at Crestview Elementary, where he often floated to different classrooms helping out, he found himself drawn to special ed classrooms in particular and to the task of motivating and engaging children in general.
Before long, he returned to UR to get his teaching degree – and discovered a textbook by Ron Clark that affected him deeply.
"I had read numerous textbooks for college and graduate classes, but I think The Essential 55 was the first book I read that really let me know that I wanted to be a teacher," says Hart. "I become enamored with [Clark's] teaching style. I watched the movie, The Ron Clark Story and became even more motivated. This was a guy showing it's okay to dance around, rap, and stand on desks.
"It really led me to believe that education can be fun."
This year, Hart was able to fly to Atlanta and visit The Ron Clark Academy to see his idol teach in person -- an experience he says he will never forget, and hopes to experience again.
It's clear, if you ask Hart's students and their parents, that he has not only taken Ron Clark's philosophy to heart, but has also added his own distinctive spirit and stamp.
He has "a very cool and friendly way of teaching," said one parent. Under his guidance, many children who professed to hate school and who tested poorly on SOLs have not only improved or passed, but learned to love learning.
"Children are captivated by his style [and energy]," said another parent. "His assignments are thought-provoking and exciting [and] he provides just the right amount of scaffolding, allowing the learners to take off on their own when ready."
In only the first nine weeks of school, one parent noticed a dramatic change in her child's self-confidence and attitude towards learning, and credited the improvement to Hart's unique, hands-on way of teaching and inventive lessons.
"[My child] is excited to learn new things and to see what creative ideas he has for the day," she said, citing activities that range from making continents out of cookie dough to dropping eggs off the school roof.
Another parent wrote that Hart's hands-on style helped her daughter to open up and to be less shy in public.
"He really gets the students involved in using the blog page," said the parent, "[and teaches] students how to be responsible by setting up a manager and having them have use 'fake money' to pay for a job."
Using technology in new and innovative ways in the classroom is one of Hart's passions, he agrees. At the beginning of the school year, he invests a lot of time in step-by-step teaching of different programs; by the end of the year, he says he is "blown away" at seeing what the students develop.
"It is a blast using these resources to enhance my students' learning," he says. "One of my favorite things is when former students come to show off projects they have created in programs that they learned how to use with me."
When he's had opportunities to make presentations at professional conferences, Hart adds, he enjoys helping his fellow teachers just as much as students – and says they "get just as excited as an eight-year-old when they learn something new."
The former classroom chatterbox says that he has taken the opposite approach from his own teachers in his third grade classroom.
"I know most of the time [as a student] I was probably not being productive with my 'chatter,'" says Hart. "But I welcome chatter in my classroom – within reason. I thoroughly enjoy watching the interactions of my students."
Hart also enjoys meeting the challenge of taking 25 different personalities from very different backgrounds, and helping each to find the best way to learn the material "and have an awesome time doing it," he says.
Becoming a teacher has given him a new appreciation of his mother, Peggy Hart, who taught in Henrico County for 30 years. "I didn't realize," he says, "how much work she put into her class until I was on the other side of the desk."
But no matter how daunting the challenges, Hart says, they are far outweighed by teaching's rewards.
He enjoys, for instance, seeing his students' reactions when he tells them they will have a substitute next day.
"To hear my students genuinely upset that I won't be in class the next day," says Hart, "always puts a smile on my face. I also find myself checking the clock when I am out, thinking, 'Now they are doing math. Time for art! I hope 'Billy' is doing what he is supposed to be doing right now.'"
But the best part about teaching, he insists, is that it never gets stale.
"[Teaching] will never be the same year in and year out. Every year I have to mold and hone my craft based on the students I have," Hart says.
"In the ever-changing world of education I live by one motto: 'Embrace change, it's the only constant.'"

Owens Classic was created 1965 with the invention of the Classic fifth wheel hitch and the Owens fifth wheel recreational trailer. The business evolved into the manufacturing of a variety of commercial trailers using the same fifth wheel concept. Owens designed the first aluminum running board in the market in 1977, which allowed the fifth wheel customer the ease of unlocking the fifth wheel hitch located in the truck bed. In 1989, Owens sold the fifth wheel hitch and a few years later also sold its trailer manufacturing plant, enabling the company to concentrate on its core business automotive accessories. Owens is a dominant force in the automotive aftermarket with product lines of plastic, fiberglass and aluminum running boards, aluminum tool boxes, dog boxes, garage and trailer accessories as well as its custom made products. During November 2007, Gary Kirtley, II purchased Owens Products and several internal changes were made. The company is now a strong and profitable company continuing to be family owned and operated. All products that Owens sells are proudly made in the USA.

Following his father's death in May 1816 Constable spent time at East Bergholt in July and August. In this oil sketch he depicted the footpath to Stratford St Mary with four figures, including a man with a red coat and black hat standing in the hedgerow beneath a tall English elm tree. For some time this work was considered to be a view of Stoke-by-Nayland, but recently Ian St John has identified the off-white stone of the church shining in the early afternoon sun as that of Stratford St Mary, and observed that the flowers in the right foreground are the red of the field poppy, the blue of chicory, the yellow of cat's ear and the white of musk mallow (St John 2002, p. 7). In his biography of Constable, Andrew Shirley remarked:
Whether by conscious habit or nature, he was always a leisured walker; he gave himself time to take in the small beauties of hedge, wildflower and water reed (Shirley 1949, p. 33).

PRICE - James Lee "Jim" Jensen, age 77, passed away at his home in Price on Oct. 21, 2011. He was born Nov. 29, 1934 in Orangeville, Utah, to Leo Joseph and Alice Cyrena Davis Jensen. He married his high school sweetheart, Beulah Peacock, in the Manti LDS Temple on July 22, 1954.
Jim grew up in Orangeville. He attended South Emery High, Carbon College and BYU. He was employed for 37 years at Carbon School District as a teacher, principal and district administrator. He served in various callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including bishop, stake president, Manti Temple Presidency, temple sealer, patriarch, and director of the Price Family History Center.
