Hesdy Gerges vs. Daniel Ghita Shows a Bright Future For Kickboxing
- Written by Dave Walsh
Usually by this time in the year, we'd have a K-1 show to kick off the Heavyweight season, or at least be preparing for one. This year is different, as instead It's Showtime stepped up to the plate and has taken that top position by promoting a big card over the weekend that proved to be the first big kickboxing card of the year on an international level, and it was great. The show's headliner was two young European heavyweights squaring off against each other.
The fight wasn't about titles or a tournament, instead it was two young heavyweights jocking for position and showing the world what they are capable of. Neither men have the hype behind them that a fighter like Badr Hari does, nor did they have the opportunities that he was given. They had to fight for their positions.
Daniel Ghita is the elder of the two, clocking in at 29. Ghita meddled in his home of Romania for a full ten years, until 2009 when It's Showtime gave him a shot on their biggest show of the year, the Amsterdam ArenA show against the Czech Republic's Thomas Hron. Ghita came in with a fire lit from under him and stopped the fight in the second round with his deadly leg kicks that he is known for. Then in August he entered K-1's Final Qualifying tournament in Tokyo and blew through it with all first round knockouts.
Hesdy Gerges (pronounced 'Hell-heth' if you didn't know, how bad ass is that?) is 27 and worked his way up the ultra-competitive circuit in Amsterdam, as well as through personal issues. Thom Harinck has discussed Gerges troubled past and how if people thought Badr Hari was a bad boy, if they knew about Gerges it would blow them away. Gerges was invited to K-1 in 2009 to take on the giant, Semmy Schilt in what should have been a feature bout for Schilt in the March opening of the K-1 season show. Gerges fought hard and was able to hold on for all three rounds before the bout was decided for Schilt. Gerges fought his way back up and caught the eye of It's Showtime, who the next year felt like they had gold putting him up against Badr Hari. It has all been upward from there, as he proved just how tough he is and made an impact on K-1 as well in 2010.
Neither man had an easy path to this weekend's show. Gerges was given Semmy Schilt again in the Final 16 last year, knocking him out of contention, while Ghita was able to make the Final 8 before falling to Gokhan Saki. I feel like there has been a swell of support for Ghita over the last year, and rightfully so. Ghita's powerful kicks and hard head can take him far, he has shown a weakness with his hands but is clearly working on improving them. Gerges is a fighter that I feel a lot of people underrate. While Badr Hari was beating him last year, the heart and toughness he had shown, as well as the clean shots he was landing amid Badr's angry flurries were impressive. For a while now I've felt that Gerges has some serious potential and a strong future as a Heavyweight. His kicks are not as crushing as Ghita's, but his hands are much, much better at this point. So going into this fight, it was clear that both men are a big deal.
Over the past few years that has been a rather obnoxious talking point on the internet that Heavyweight kickboxing is "dead" and there is no new talent. That dominance of Peter Aerts and Semmy Schilt is "clear" proof of this, somehow. It isn't that they are just that good, but their age should somehow bring down the rest of the field. The rise of Badr Hari, Ruslan Karaev, Gokhan Saki, Tyrone Spong, Kyotaro and now Ghita and Gerges tells an entirely different story. It shows an upcoming changing of the guard, a new generation coming from a few transition years in the mid-00's. A fight between Hesdy Gerges and Daniel Ghita was more than a Heavyweight clash, it was a clash between two of the fighters that we've felt will carry on the elite Heavyweight tradition in the coming years and be part of a new golden age. The fact that the fight we saw was such an even, exciting fight is simply proof of all of these things, that regardless of who walked away the victor, both these men are going to make the next ten years or so extremely exciting to watch unfold.

Favorite Tillamook products:
I can't get enough of the 3-year aged cheddar. I like cheese that bites back and that little wedge is like Mike Tyson! I also thoroughly enjoy me some ice cream…I'm not too picky, but when it's my choice you better believe that Cookie Dough and Grandma's Cake Batter are in my freezer.
Favorite way to eat Tillamook:
Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Mac n' Cheese, off the floor, Quesadilla, stirred in Tomato soup, off a plate, mixed in a salad, straight out of the carton, off the cutting board, with my hands, with a fork, with a spoon…what I'm trying to illustrate is that I don't have a favorite way so to speak…just that I like to eat it!
Hobbies & Interests:
Music (singing), cars (BMW's and race cars), Sports ('GO DUCKS' and 'There's No Pity in the Rose City'!) trying new restaurants with my wife (know any good ones?), hanging out with my wife, Church. I would like to start reading more, so please let me know if you have any great book suggestions!

To preserve the magic and power of the practitioners, a book's contents are usually only decipherable by the priest who wrote them. During some rites, manuscripts may be unfolded and draped over the shoulder of the datu as an amulet.

Restoring an ecosystem to primitive grandeur is no simple matter in a complex world
Pat Shipman
Competition for grass and forage is not the heart of the problem; brucellosis is. Brucellosis is a bacterial disease originally found in cattle that spread long ago to the bison. The disease causes pregnant females to abort their fetuses, expelling fluids and tissues that then infect other animals in the same area. Brucellosis has been eliminated from the domestic cattle population through mandatory annual vaccinations and aggressive slaughter of all animals in an infected herd. About 45 percent of the Yellowstone bison and 5–10 percent of the elk still carry brucellosis. Vaccinating bison only at boundary facilities will probably not reduce the rate of brucellosis infection in the herd long term, but a consistent, park-wide effort would be "controversial, logistically challenging, expensive, and intrusive, with no guarantee of successfully reducing brucellosis prevalence to near zero" according to a 2011 article written by a group of Yellowstone Park rangers in Biological Conservation.
Though all female cattle are vaccinated, the vaccine is not 100 percent effective. If brucellosis is transmitted to their livestock by wildlife, ranchers face the devastating destruction of their entire herd. Further, if only two cases of brucellosis-infected cattle are discovered, the entire state loses its "brucellosis-free" status. Cattle from a state that is not brucellosis-free bring less money, and their transport across state lines is difficult and tightly regulated. The stakes are very high.
Bison straying outside the park are hazed by helicopter and by individuals on horseback or on all-terrain vehicles in an attempt to drive them back into the park. When the grazing is exhausted in the park, some bison refuse to return and face starvation. Those that remain outside the park are rounded up, penned and tested for brucellosis—very stressful events. Animals that test positive are killed. The article by the Yellowstone Park rangers attests: "About 3,100 bison were culled from the [Yellowstone] population during 1985–2000 for attempting to migrate outside the park."
Culling a once-endangered species that is a vital component of the Yellowstone ecosystem seems wrong. It offends every conservationist's deepest beliefs. These animals are only reoccupying their former range as circumstances demand (see map). Unfortunately, their presence in cattle-ranching areas and their infection with brucellosis pose a serious economic threat to ranchers.
Some regard the presence of bison as inevitable: "If you don't want bison on your land, move to Ohio," one rancher said. Others stress the inherent unfairness of endangering their carefully built herds and lifestyle with a wild animal that is supposed to be kept inside the park. They demand that a management plan be devised for the bison that will protect their herds from the risk of infection.
Bison advocates like the Buffalo Field Campaign demand that the animals be left to roam free and experience the consequences of natural selection. They emphasize that only the Yellowstone herds and those in Wind Cave National Park are free from genes resulting from crossbreeding with cattle—a strategy used by ranchers to make bison more docile.
The Yellowstone Park herds are genetically uncontaminated and have occupied their range since prehistoric times. Whatever knowledge, instincts or abilities have evolved in wild bison to help them survive in a rugged landscape with harsh winters, the Yellowstone herd has them.
Like wolves, bison also pose a danger to humans. Humans can become infected with the brucellosis bacterium, which gives them undulant fever, a very nasty, often incurable, recurrent disease. It is worth stressing that bison are not cute Disney animals; they are 2,000 pounds worth of strength, ferocity and unpredictability. While I was in Yellowstone, a tourist, who foolishly approached a bull bison much closer than park regulations allow, was gored and sent to the hospital. Bison injure more visitors to Yellowstone than bears do.
Wolves and bison are only two of the controversial issues in Yellowstone, our first and perhaps greatest national park. How can we balance the rights of the individual with those of the majority? There is a real price to pay for preserving our wild heritage. We must listen to the opinions of all the stakeholders to negotiate a just and equable solution to these complex problems.

My daughter had a developmental delay because of hearing loss at an early age. The hearing loss was corrected and she has been catching up. She was enrolled in public school but because our school is one of two in the school district that are not Title 1 (not enough kids qualifying for free or reduced lunch) - the federal funding was reduced and the school eliminated 1 teacher at each grade. That meant my daughter would be in a 1st grade class of over 30 kids. Given the fact that she was a little behind but not a kid with behavior issues, she would get lost in a class that size.
We enrolled her in a private school in our district. We were notified by the school that there was grant money available for a reading tutor and they thought our daughter could benefit. We were all for it. We were then told that because of our address (our public school area is not title 1) she did not qualify for assistance. All of the other kids at her school that were recommended for the tutor qualified because of where they live.
So - because of title 1 funding rules and for the benefit of our daughter we have pulled her out of public school and pay for private school and then on top of that we pay for private tutoring. We could live two blocks from where we live now, make 5 times the money, and would have qualified for the tutor.
I was wondering if anyone had any info on title 1, I've researched it and can't find much on how they determine eligibility.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
No akvavit that day thou it was close to easter.
However, it was last day on Acklins, and as I was packing my stuff at the lodge I found an intact bottle of carribean rum
Guess what happend
I got her on my 7 weight back-up rod (65 USD but it lasted). We caught several other Lemons at this size on "clean fly" but to be honest this particular lady was caught with a chunk from a small jack-fish. Im not sure about the hook, but it was an Owner - not that big. Let my dig out more details for my upcoming Acklins trip report
The wire is called "Malin Hard-Wire stainless steel leader"... Single strand seems to do the job and is fairly easy to throw as it doesnt weigh much. Works for Cudas as well
Haha - I cant tell how honoured I am
Will it enclose some sort of cash price as well?
Ohh, btw it wasnt an attempt to steal this thread
Lars -
Nice smile. I nominate Lars as 2008 Flyfishing Forum GQ Award winner!
Oh wait is that the shark or Lars in front?
Seriously, on both fronts. Nice shark and you do get the 2008 Forum GQ award please see congratulations post.
That is a beautiful shark !!! Well done !!! I am starting to enjoy sharks on the flats when the bone fishing is slow. What wt rod ? Type wire (Strands), and hook size did you use for that monster ? I had a blast last month with 4-5 pounders on my 9 wt.
Lars !!!
I think you drank too much akravit that day..!!!
stay well and stick to Bonefish my friend..
Why not just catch them first?
Great fun on 7wt and they wont bother you for the next hour or so
Without reservation (nevermind my past, greedy behaviour) I can say that if a shark chases your hooked bonefish there is only one solution: break it off. Fast.
In point of fact those sharks that frequent bonefish flats and quickly nab a hooked bone have learned this behaviour. Sharks are much too cautious to rush into such a situation, especially with humans standing around. (Of course, I'm talking about your average lemon sharks, here. Bulls may be a different story, but luckily they are rare.) I think that the spear-gun is a great idea... if you take the tip off the spear. Sharks have famously thick skin and seem to be quite hard to hurt. A solid blow from the blunt point of a spear may be the answer. By no means do I suggest actually harming sharks (they are truly magnificent animals which deserve our respect and attention) but a regularly fished bonefish flat sets up an unnatural situation that in itself may throw the local eco-system out of whack. This is always the case when one species gets an unfair advantage (or disadvantage, for that matter). I'm merely suggesting that if sharks can learn to steal bonefish, they can learn not to.
We all want to catch bonefish, as do our guides. Don't fall for their advice to just throw slack at the bonefish. Do your conscience and the fish a favor: pop it off.
Oh, yeah, and don't jump on sharks if you can help it. It's a great ride, but certainly not for everyone.
I try to release every fish I land as best I can but I don't get too upset if a shark or cuda gets one.
One thing I have learned is to pay attention to where you release a fish. I had one nice fish that I hooked on a flat while poling. The flat where it hooked was adjacent to a shallower sand flat with a deeper channel separating them. The guide moved the boat across the chanel and let me get out of the boat to land the fish on the edge of the shallow flat. This meant that I had to pull the fish across the channel to get him to the shallow flat. Well I did land it. I did revive it and I did release it. Where I messed up was releasing it on the side of the channel. That fish hadn't gone 5' before a shark took it. Felt like it took it right out of my hands. I can picture that shark sitting there in the deeper water just watching and waiting for me to let that fish go. Lucky to have all my digits. So I learned that I need to walk up further onto the shallow flat to release the fish and give it a better chance to survive.
That's spot on
Go read the Shark Chronicles by John Musick to find out more about the subject.
Jumping on a shark is pure foolishness. 95% of the time it may flee but that 5% it does not you will be in for a world of hurt. You might as well say it's okay to walk around tiger infested jungle because all you have to do is outbluff a tiger. It may work some of the time but you will regret the one time it does not work and you are a tiger's dinner. I've dived with them, fished for them, observed them, read about them and although in general they are not out to eat people for the most part, they can do wicked damage with their mouth and you'd be tempting fate by doing that. I love my gamefish but not enough to risk my life for a little bonefish. A shark eating a bonefish, sad as it may be, is part of nature. Sharks eat bonefish, sharks eat tarpon, sharks eat fish. I've read stories of someone being bitten by a 20 inch spiny dogfish shark he was playing with and required months of surgery to fix his arm and tendons. Imagine what a 4 ft lemon could do to you.
Be that as it may if you want to use that tactic to scare the shark away be my guest. Nature has a way of culling the weak, foolish and stupid of any species lol.
Shark Hurling... the new X-GAME?
I had a similar experience years ago on the Airport Flat in Exuma. Here's how my log records it (edited in a futile attempt at brevity):
"Its been a while and Im not catching these fish anyway so I tell J.J. wed better leave. He says to keep fishing while he walks back for the skiff.
He doesnt get halfway before I hook and land a decent fish. Ive cracked the code now and the school still hasnt spooked. I cast again and I hook another but just as Im thinking its about over, the fish bolts again and I see a shadow part the school. Shark. I reflexively point my rod and throw slack in my line. I can feel the bonefish just sitting there, perfectly still, which fools the shark. As the shark swims off to investigate the rest of the school I come tight and reel like mad, trying to drag my fish out of the school. The fish bolts upwind and I fight it briefly before something causes me to glance around. The shark is swimming straight at me. (It's only a four-footer, but it's still intimidating.) I stomp my foot, hoping to scare it off as I had done with other sharks before, but it came straight on homing in on the struggling fish behind me.
At the last second I jump as the shark swims straight under me, but about halfway up I got mad ornery, wild dog mean mad. Instead of letting it glide harmlessly under me I stomped down with all my might, right on the sharks' back. It shot off in a boil of sand, more shocked than hurt.
I quickly land the fish and look up only to find myself surrounded by at least four more. They are arranged neatly in a semicircle between the bonefish school and me. I'm still mad. Yelling, I stomp toward them, stabbing them with my rod and jumping up and down. They move off but all this noise has scared the school of bones as well. Im afraid to lower the bonefish back into the water for fear of attracting the sharks to me, but know I cannot hold him out of the water much longer. Quickly I wade as near as I can to the main school and release the tired fish. I watch it swim slowly away and not fifteen feet from me a shark materializes and eats it, severing it about an inch behind the gill cover. I stomp at the shark and yell, but its too late. My fish is dead.
I scare the shark off its meal, but also anger it. It begins to follow me so I retreat to the shelter of some mangroves shrubs. The shark still follows, its body-language an exaggerated threat. Nothing I do will deter it and it stays about a rod-length behind me as I wade in and out of the mangroves. Finally I hit on a tactic that worked.
Walking in a rough circle, I wade past the severed bonefish head a mute horror staining the water red. The shark smells the blood and forgets about me as it finishes its meal.
Minutes later I meet JJ and my fishing partner on the other side of the flat. I tell them about my adventure and they both start laughing. What? I ask.
I heard now that JJ was already laughing to himself as he got back to the boat. He had saw me fighting a fish. When asked what the joke was, he said Dose sharks, dey probly chasin him right now. Great. I was almost devoured alive and my guide and girlfriend think its funniest thing since Seinfeld."
Just breaking of the fish, as mentioned, is an option. I've never managed to snap the leader (I use 20lbs), but unless it's hooked deep, it will often come loose from the bonefish's mouth, I find this to be the case especially with smaller bones and heavy flies. It is of course never the case when you're fighting a small one, and you spot a trophy bonesaurus cruising right at you!!
So based on my rather limited experience, I find it works best to reel the bonefish in hard, cancel the showmanship run and bring it home immediately, if it breaks off, that's fine, and if it doesn't, go between the bone and the shark, scaring them off has never been a problem. Luckily, because there is no plan B at this stage.. It does make for a good memory, I once had an evil sharkie (about 5 feet) trying to get at my bone which was almost reeled in, the shark had been a bit tentative as I was wading right at it, but it suddenly made one last go at it and the bone swam through my feet, with the shark hot on its tail. It would be a blatant lie to claim I responded particularly cooly to this, jumping roughly a yard in the air and letting out a rather high-pitched non-manly scream at the top of my lungs... Perhaps a cool man's plan B is to dismantle the rod and use the butt-piece to fend the bastard off.
It is interesting to note how different sharks can behave, sometimes I've had them get close to an unprotected hooked bone, only to turn away. Sometimes you can hold the shark at bay by wading towards it and cutting of its attack angle, all while playing a splashing bone. Sometimes the shark is all business and heads straight for your fish, I've seen them come from 50 yards away, 2 seconds after the bone is hooked, the shark came at light speed, and there was nothing tentative about its approach. It is certainly something that triggers their killer instinct on and off, I was once told seeing the prey fish on its side was one trigger. Perhaps the different modes of the shark (and they are curious creatures always stopping for a look when they hear/see/smell something) are important for the success rate on rescuing the bone.
I don't know about jumping on a shark, but stepping on one's head seems reasonable. Since it's mouth is underneath, it can do nothing but suck on some sand. Sometimes the bone is smart enough to go high in the water, then the shark practially has to jump out to get it's mouth at the fish, a spectacular sight.
|One of the best strategies to avoid lemon shark/bonefish confrontations is to have a guide that carries and uses a spear. This year at Acklins, we had a guide, David, that carried a spear for spiny lobsters. He was deadly with it on lemon sharks.
One other tactic when a shaak is zeroing in on a hooked bone is simply bust the tippet. If you're fishing 12lb or less, its not that difficult. In fact, lots of us do it without even trying on occaision
Just don't try to do it with the rod - it will probably break.
Dont worry too much about the fish swimming off with the fly. We all fishen' baahbless, don' we mon?
Josko. It may not work every time so caution is necessary. Some sports may not even know the difference between a Bull and Lemon shark. Thanks for the advice though. I'll give it a try.
Just for Ha Ha's, do a Google on Gannet Man! He likes to jump on REALLY BIG stuff.

Got a bit of a late start doing my usual morning shopping. Only Star Wars item I got was the Snowspeeder at Target. Got home around noon. It was a hot day so I was content to stay inside for the rest of the afternoon.
Around 5 PM, I drove to Boulevard Park and walked to Fairhaven to eat at a restaurant called Skylark's. I'd never eaten there before (there are a lot of places in town I've never eaten at before because I rarely go out to eat). I had smoked salmon linguini and a vanilla shake.
After dinner, I stopped by Fairhaven Runners and signed up for a 15K race next month. I've never run this course or raced this distance before, so I won't be too worried that I'm not in shape for it because whatever I do will be a personal best, and give me something to shoot for next year.
After that, I walked back to the park for a free outdoor concert at 7 PM by a band called the Clumsy Lovers. The live show seemed much more energetic than what I've heard on their website.
The weather was nice so it was a beautiful setting for a concert right next to the water. The sun went down a little bit before the end of the show, so that was nice to see. A bit more interesting than my usual Saturday nights.

Binghamton University and SUNY Upstate Medical to co-host Forensic Psychiatry Conference
Conversations in the Disciplines: SUNY Solutions to School Violence Prevention
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University and SUNY Upstate Medical University will co-host the 5th Annual Forensic Psychiatry Conference, "Conversations in the Disciplines: SUNY Solutions to School Violence Prevention," from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9, at the Hutchings Psychiatric Center Auditorium, 810 East Genesee St., Syracuse.
This conference is free and open to physicians, psychologists, nurses, social workers, criminal justice/criminologists, mental health professionals and advocacy groups, school teachers, primary healthcare providers and counselors.
This workshop has been developed by Binghamton University's Decker School of Nursing and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at SUNY Upstate Medical University, in collaboration with experts from SUNY Upstate's Golisano Children's Hospital and the Department of Psychology at Syracuse University.
When 20-year-old Adam Lanza murdered 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14, 2012, in one swift incident, he propelled the 2012-2013 school homicide total in the United States beyond the total (17) for the entire 2009-2010 school year. School-associated homicides, however, are a small segment of the total number of violent incidents in schools, as demonstrated by the 828,000 nonfatal victimizations of 12- to 18-year-olds on school grounds in 2010.
This workshop will address school violence prevention from a scholarly, multidisciplinary perspective, bringing together faculty and practitioners from across the SUNY system and its neighboring regions to discuss promising new research and evidence-based projects. The workshop's goal is to advance the state of knowledge of school violence prevention through ongoing research, networking, collaboration and program development.
This workshop also links to SUNY's Healthier New York 'big idea' by addressing one of the state's most vulnerable populations and most important natural resource − children − whose health and wellbeing is critical to the future of the state. No other organization, public or private, can address these health challenges as powerfully as SUNY.
This conference is sponsored by the Conversations in the Disciplines Program of the State University of New York; Binghamton University's Decker School of Nursing and Department of Continuing Education & Outreach; the Division of Forensic Psychiatry of the Department of Psychiatry and the Office of Continuing Medical Education at SUNY Upstate Medical University; the Central New York Psychiatric Center; and the New York State Office of Mental Health.
Pre-registration is required by Aug. 6, by calling 315-464-8668 or 800-464-8668. For more information, including a copy of the brochure, contact Linette Thorp at 315-464-3104 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gregory's Love Box for Valentine's Day
KINGSTON, Jamaica - For nearly 40 years, Gregory Isaacs thrilled fans with a laid-back style that earned him the moniker, the 'Cool Ruler'. Tad Records revisits some of the singer's most romantic moments with Love Box, an 80-song set to be released, appropriately, on Valentine's Day.
Isaacs died from cancer in London in October, 2010 at age 59. But many of the songs the west Kingston-born performer released during a prolific career remain lovers rock staples.
Several of those songs including Love Is Overdue and Night Nurse, are in Love Box, a four-CD package that tracks Isaacs' days as a struggling singer on Orange Street (known back in the day as Beat Street) in west Kingston, to international stardom in the 1980s.
The songs were done for various producers including Tad Dawkins, founder of Tad Records who was Isaacs' close friend. Disc three of Love Box contains songs from The Originals, a double album Isaacs recorded for the label in 2006.
Dawkins' production of Love Is Overdue is on disc four. The original, produced by Alvin 'GG' Ranglin in 1974, was one of Isaacs' first hits. Night Nurse, the 1982 smash co-produced by Isaacs and bass player Errol 'Flabba' Holt of the Roots Radics band, is also on the final disc.
Night Nurse remains Isaacs' biggest hit. Singer Mick Hucknall of Simply Red fame covered the song for Sly and Robbie's Grammy-winning Friends album in 1998. His version made the British national chart.
While there are other notable songs such as Soon Forward, Tune In and Top Ten, Love Box also contains sleeper hits such as Lonely Soldier, a cover of a song originally done by American singer Mike Williams in 1966. Isaacs' self-produced version was released on his African Museum label in 1973.
Typical of Jamaican grassroots singers like Alton Ellis, John Holt, Delroy Wilson and Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs recorded for many producers which left a formidable catalogue.
Since his death, many of those songs have appeared on a handful of compilation albums released by Tad Records and VP Records.

Serves 8
This torte is a cross between a brownie and a chocolate cake that is topped with a crème brûlée–style crackled sugar crust. It's wonderfully decadent. The ground peanuts and peanut flour really give the chocolate a warmth and nuttiness that is at once alluring, comforting, and really delicious. It's an "almost" flourless chocolate cake because it includes a slice of several-day-old bread in the batter. This addition can easily be eliminated for those with gluten sensitivities or if making this cake for Passover, when only flourless dishes can grace the table. You can vary this cake by using almonds or walnuts in place of the peanuts if you like, but we like that certain bit of country charm they seem to bring to the table, even though the cake looks as chic as can be.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with 1 Tbs. of the butter. Place the pan on top of a sheet of parchment and trace a circle around the pan, cut it out, and place the paper circle in the bottom of the pan to grease the underside. Flip the paper circle over and press it into place. Set aside.
Place the bread in a food processor and pulse until it forms medium-coarse crumbs. Add the peanuts and peanut flour, and pulse until the texture is like rough sand (don't overprocess the mixture or it will become peanut butter).
Use a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large bowl (if using a hand mixer) and cream the remaining 10 Tbs. butter until it is fluffy and pale. Add the brown sugar and cream until pale, then add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing thoroughly between additions and scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla bean paste (or extract), reduce the speed to low, and add the peanut mixture.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites with 3 Tbs. of the sugar until the whites form stiff peaks. Fold the whipped whites into the batter in 3 additions, adding the grated chocolate along with the last addition, folding until just a few streaks of white remain. Scrape the mixture into the prepared cake pan and bake until the sides pull away from the edges of the pan and a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack for 5 minutes before releasing the latch and lifting the side of the pan away from the bottom. Cool completely before inverting the cake onto a large flat plate, cutting board, or baking sheet, lifting off the pan bottom, and peeling away the parchment paper circle. Reinvert the cake onto a cake plate or platter.
Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 2/3 cup of cold water into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, and then let the sugar simmer, swirling the pan occasionally, until the liquid becomes an amber-color caramel, about 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately and, using an offset spatula, pour and spread the caramel syrup over the top of the cake. Cool the cake and then slice and serve at room temperature.

Marx: Streamlining annulments 'sensible' but doesn't solve problems
Sept 17, 2015
The fact that Pope Francis has simplified annulment procedures is a "sensible" signal which the German bishops welcome, but it should not be seen as a step in anticipation of the coming Synod of Bishops on the family, said German Cardinal Reinhard Marx, the president of the German bishops' conference, at a press conference Sept. 8 in Berlin.
Sep. 10, 2015
"It is a sensible signal but it does not solve the fundamental problems," Marx said. For many people who had maybe been married for 20 years, "annulment is a foreign word." Simplification of the annulment procedures is only a partial solution of marriage breakdown and the desire for a second marriage, he said.
Marx does not think that the synod bishops would decide to change canon law. "There will be no valid second sacramental marriage," he said, but the church must make quite clear that people whose marriages had failed still belonged to the church.
The cardinal said that Catholic teaching on marriage was by no means outdated. The majority of people still hope for a life-long marriage and are open to children. The church must encourage this model of marriage and not only consider the possibility that it would fail. Marx said he hopes that the Synod's message would be that lifelong marriage "is possible, but if you fail, we will stand by you."
The synod's purpose, however, is to find common solutions to family problems in the world church, he said. German Catholics should not expect their views to be adopted by the world.
There's more to NCR than what you read online. Subscribe today!
The new Archbishop of Berlin, Heiner Koch, who is responsible for family affairs in the German bishops' conference and will be accompanying Marx to the Synod, is concerned that German Catholics will be disappointed by the outcome of the synod. He has spoken to many bishops on his visits abroad and said that views on family issues differ widely.
In Germany, opinions on certain points are often sharply divided. Reading and answering the hundreds of emails Koch received on the coming synod, which had meanwhile become "almost a full-time job," show how "irreconcilable" people are on certain issues. One email said, "Surely you won't betray Catholic teaching and tradition?", while another said, "You surely won't betray people for the sake of doctrine?"
Expectations of the synod are too high, Koch said. Family issues are being linked to "mega issues such as the understanding of the Eucharist, the issue of church authority and its limits and the question of the definition of marriage," issues which go beyond pastoral issues. Koch said he doubted whether a three-week Synod could get through quite such a large workload. "It would have been better to limit the number of topics up for discussion," he said.
Meanwhile, Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith Prefect Cardinal Gerhard Müller has sharply attacked the German church's claim to be world leaders on moral and sexual issues, saying it is responsible for "the present climate in the church" and warning of a possible schism.
In Regensburg Sept. 1 to present the German edition of Cardinal Robert Sarah's new book God or Nothing – A Conversation on Faith, Müller accused German church leaders of trying "by hook or by crook" to deconstruct and relativize Catholic teaching on marriage "in order to make it seem that it conforms with society," despite the fact that an ever higher number of German Catholics are leaving the church and that its confessionals, seminaries and religious institutions are "empty."
"We must not deceive people as far as the sacramentality of marriage, its openness for children and the fundamental complementarity of both sexes are concerned," Müller said.

Here's what you do... you put a Garmin tracker on each dog running, have it transmit to some app on your iPad. Then you can just sit in your hotel room watching football as the lines magically appear on your iPad. Have another app that calculated the length of the lines and the variation in distance from the spot the bird is to fall, another app to add these all up and summarize, then calculate your final score. this would also reduce those long, nasty discussions between dissenting judges.....

Ok.. I have been playing with this for a while.
There are screen sheet to apply to ipad or its cover to work fine outdoors. Just like your phones.. there are otter boxes and other brands that work in all weather.
I would say in another year you will see SOMEONE using them to judge .
I think it has a lot of potential, but it will take quite a bit of experimentation to work smoothly. There are always early adapters who will work out the bugs for us and in a few years we may question how we did things so slowly today.
I have been playing with the idea of building an app for this for a while (not me, someone more skilled hopefully), as, for me, the mechanics of setting up pages, moving between sheets, scores, etc directly on ipad are too time consuming. It would be nice to have the benefit of only drawing the test once, we'll, then overlaying in a paperless system. To me, the great part would be building in automatic scoresheet, labels for different stakes, quick change icons for scoring blinds, ie yellow triangle for WR, red dot for CR, black dot for whistle only. There are actually not a lot of choices of what we note, so should be able to program a number of standard time savers. Of course, freezing up, bad battery etc and losing all your marking info near the end of a stake is a scary concept, so we need to figure out some fallbacks.
I think it will be more realistic for hunt tests for a while, marking in a FT is trickier and details obviously are much more important.
Every electronic device has a built in "Critical Need Sensor" that automatically initiates a massive failure upon sensing that it has become extremely critical that it operate properly. Once the need has passed, the sensor resets and normal operations are allowed to continue.

Under Rule 2-9.3 (b) - (e), Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, active members of the Bar may file a specific objection to any legislative position adopted by the Board of Governors.
Objections properly filed within 45 days of this News issue will be considered for a refund of that portion of mandatory membership fees applicable to the contested legislative position, within an additional 45 days. The Bar's governing board has the option to grant the appropriate refund to an objector or to refer the matter to arbitration.
The arbitration process will determine solely whether the legislative position is within those acceptable activities for which compulsory membership fees may be used under applicable constitutional law. The objecting member's fees allocable to the contested legislative position will be escrowed promptly upon receipt of the objection, and any refund will bear legal interest.
Any active member may provide written notice to the executive director of The Florida Bar, setting forth an objection to a particular legislative position. Failure to object within 45 days of this News issue will constitute a waiver of any right to object to a particular legislative position within this notice.
The policy requires the Bar to notice such legislative positions in the next available News issue following their adoption.
On December 7, 2012, the Board of Governors declared moot and retired the Bar's position in opposition to Amendment 5 which appeared on the November 6, 2012, General Election ballot.
Additionally, pursuant to Standing Board Policy 9.20, the Board approved the following new legislative positions of The Florida Bar on December 7, 2012:
1. Opposes amendments to the Florida Constitution that would alter the authority of the Supreme Court of Florida to regulate the admission of persons to the practice of law or the discipline of persons admitted.
2. Supports adequate funding of the state courts system, state attorneys' offices, public defenders' offices, court-appointed counsel, and the offices of the clerks of the circuit and county courts performing court-related functions.

A new global survey gets the best look yet at the world's imperiled coral reefs.
Catherine Clabby
For years, Richard Vevers was exasperated by how few people were aware of the threats to coral reefs, vital habitats built by tiny invertebrates and the symbiotic algae that feed them. A full quarter of all marine species globally depend on tropical reefs as nurseries, food sources, or lifelong homes. That entire ecosystem is in a precarious situation. Nineteen percent of all cataloged reefs have already been destroyed, scientists estimate; 35 percent of what survives could disappear by 2050 due to destructive fishing practices, pollution, and rising ocean temperatures.
Nature photography intended to celebrate the amazing underwater diversity may have inadvertently contributed to the problem. "When people see images they see the nice reefs. There is a perception that is very, very different from the reality," says Vevers, himself an underwater photographer as well as a marine conservationist.
Vevers decided to update the picture. He recruited friends from the advertising industry, where he used to work, to create a more honest portfolio of both healthy and ailing reefs. His original plan was to compile photos only and share them globally for free. Then an international insurance company, Catlin Group, agreed to fund the project with more than $1 million, if Vevers expanded it to include data with scientific significance.
The result is the Catlin Seaview Survey, developed by Underwater Earth (an Australian nonprofit group Vevers founded) and by marine biologists at the University of Queensland, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and elsewhere. Since 2012 the project has been building up a visual catalog of the world's shallow reefs (depths less than 20 meters), at a scale and resolution never before attempted.
Photographers, researchers, and students conducting the Catlin survey use three bundled waterproof cameras that fire at once and capture complete, 360-degree underwater scenes every three seconds. Along with dangers such as coral bleaching and debris, the survey has documented much underwater splendor at the Great Barrier Reef, in the Coral and Caribbean Seas, and off Bermuda, the Galápagos Islands, and Monaco. In 2012, Google launched an underwater "street view" that can create custom, virtual dives using imagery from the survey.
Vevers likes the attention that the beauty shots attract. But he recognizes that the most scientifically significant photos are the less picturesque ones made by the survey cameras that point straight down. Traditionally, marine scientists have assessed corals much the way botanists count plants on land, only in scuba gear: They lay down quadrants, or square frames, on portions of a reef and photograph what lives inside those borders. No more than 250 square meters of healthy, ailing, or dead corals could be documented on each dive. From those relatively small samples, the researchers then extrapolate about a reef's overall makeup and health.
The Catlin survey records 4,000 square meters of reef per dive, delivering a deluge of data that has created new challenges. Computer vision specialists at Scripps are adapting facial-recognition software invented by the Central Intelligence Agency to count and classify corals in the huge inventory of photos. "Hopefully we'll get to the point where we can get information from hundreds of thousands of images within six months to a year, rather than 10 years, which is probably what it would take if you did it manually," says David Kline, a Scripps coral reef biologist affiliated with the survey.
This spring, the survey began work in biodiversity-rich waters off the Philippines. Marine scientists planned to look for signs of damage from crown-of-thorn starfish, coral predators that live on reefs. The starfish don't normally cause lasting harm, but their populations can swell to destructive levels in places where fertilizer and other nutrients wash from land to sea. Catlin survey cameras may also document damage caused by trash, boat groundings, and illegal fishing.
In keeping with Vevers's original vision, the survey data are being made available for free online, posted at the Catlin Global Reef Record (http://globalreefrecord.org). The image bank should help conservationists locate thriving reefs that are good candidates to safeguard in new marine preserves, says Manuel González-Rivero, a Queensland postdoctoral researcher coordinating the shallow reef survey. The photos may also help identify which corals are most resistant to habitat degradation.
One welcome surprise from the Catlin project is that it is stirring hope, despite its abundant evidence that people are harming reefs. "Yes, we are impacting the reefs," says González-Rivero, "but there still are areas with great potential to be protected."

"I cook with wine. Sometimes I even add it to the food."
W.C. Fields
Hello November. Here already? ALREADY?? With winter almost here, the Basque Lamb Stew is a good way to warm up … robust, hearty, full of flavour. It's the time of the year when comfort food tops the list. Apple crumbles, mushroom soup, lamb and chicken curries, warm chocolate puddings, risottos, brownies, creamy cheesy pasta, ratatouille, fresh bread, stew …
The lamb was meant for an Indian Lamb Stew or Gosht do Piaza, a hearty traditional Indian main. Yet some sour dough meant a loaf of fresh baked bread. The lamb thus headed for a continental makeover. Two recently gifted bottles of wine from Four Seasons had me wanting to further my culinary skills. Google took me to Simply Recipes which had an interesting lamb stew recipe.
My knowledge of wine is pretty limited. A wine tasting session with a wine connoisseur some time back was enlightening. I would like to cook with wine but am an under-confident 'wine' cook! I do however find wine glasses and goblets romantic, pretty too!
Basque Lamb Stew was in the oven soon. Experimental cooking is always fun, and has been on the mind even more after our recent Ozzie MasterChef meeting. That rejuvenated us to think differently, creatively, out of the box, locally, internationally, responsibly … every virtual thought led to food!
Sangeeta's Dark Chocolate Mousse, Parul's Merluza en Salsa de Pinones, Ruchira's Thai Eggplant Salad and Rekha's Fresh Waterchestnuts, Arugula and Peach Salad reminded me of the lamb stew that was waiting in the wings! All these have the wine in common.
The Basque Lamb Stew was a huge step for someone like me who has always cooked traditional Indian lamb dishes. Making this dish, I thought often about the very talented Basque ex-pat Aran Goyoaga who writes on Basque country and her childhood. I heard of this beautiful region while reading her posts.
The stew was delicious, hearty, and an enticing red. There was something inspiring about it. Despite being cooked in a completely different manner, it still had slight undertones of my Indian stew or 'ishtoo' as it is often called! Amazing! The wines gave very gentle flavour to the dish, while the roasted red peppers added most of the brilliant colour! {The sour dough bread is a tomato basil one the recipe scraps of which I sadly misplaced!}
What keeps you warm in winter, dear reader? What is your favourite comfort food?
Summary: With winter almost here, this Basque Lamb Stew seems like a good way to warm up … robust, hearty, full of flavour. It's the time of the year when comfort food tops the list. Adapted minimally from Simple Recipes. Serves 4-6.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours {plus marinating}
- 750gm lamb shoulder, cut into 2 inch pieces {I used on the bone pieces}
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
- 1 tbs dried rosemary {or sprig fresh rosemary}
- 1/2 cup white wine {Four Seasons Pinot}
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
- Salt
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- 3 roasted red bell peppers, cut into 1/2 inch strips
- 1 large ripe tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup dry, full-bodied red wine {Four Seasons Barouque Reserve}
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Combine the lamb, half of the garlic cloves, rosemary, and white wine in a medium bowl. I marinated this overnight though Elise calles for 2-3 hours.
- Drain the meat, discard the marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. {I reduced the remaining marinade while basting the second batch}
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan with lid, over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the meat on all sides, about 10 minutes per batch. Salt the meat as it browns. Remove the meat from the pan and add the onions to the pan.
- Cook, scraping browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon, until the onions are light brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
- Return the meat to the pan with the onions and garlic. Stir in red chili flakes, roasted peppers, tomatoes, coriander, bay leaf, and red wine.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, allowing the liquids to reduce a bit. Then add the vegetable stock. {Either bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until meat is very tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours}.
- OR transfer to an oven safe deep dish, cover tightly with foil and bake at 150C for 1 1/2 hours.
- Add freshly ground black pepper and more salt to taste.
- Serve with rustic bread.
- If you want, try garnishing with fresh mint leaves {as Elise says, "though I have no idea how "Basque" that is, it just tastes good."

My first big disappointment at the festival, Rather than be negative and name names, and also because this is one of the films in competition (I'm on the FIPRESCI jury), I'll just say that the book it is based on is still great. And I'm not referring to "Anna Karenina," which everyone says was terrific and which I missed.

Panasonic WhisperGreen Bathroom Fan with Lights FV-08VKSL4 (Replaces FV-08VKSL1, FV-08VKSL2, FV-08VKSL3)
Sones: < 0.3 to 0.3
CFM / Watt: 5.8 - 12.5
6 Year Warranty on DC Motor
Duct Diameter (inches): 4"
Mounting Opening (inches sq.): 10 7/8"
Grille Size (inches sq.): 13"
Overall Dimensions: (H x W x D) 13" x 13" x 7 7/8"
Lamp Watts: 2 x 13 self-ballasted bulbs with 4 watt night light (all bulbs included)
This fan is designed to run continuously ensuring a healthy climate at low CFM levels 24 hours a day. NOTE: This NEW model can also be configured for spot (non-continuous) ventilation!!This fan is also built to take care of the homeowners spot ventilation needs when the room is occupied. This fan kicks-up to a maximum level of 80 CFM when activated by standard switch. A High/Low Delay Timer, located inside the fan unit, is utilized to return the fan back to the pre-set continuous ventilation mode OR shut off completely
There are a variety of ways that this fan can be switched. When contact with the high speed (red) wire is opened - the countdown begins to turn the fan down to the continuous operation (low) speed. As the wiring diagram indicates - it is also possible to introduce an additional switch to override the fan and turn it off altogether. We have made a special "momentary contact" switch available to make the transition from low to high speed easy.
Constant CFM Performance
This WhisperGreenT model features built-in intelligence called SmartFlowT Optimum CFM Technology. This unique "electronic-brain" lets the fan do what was once thought to be impossible, perform at a constant CFM regardless of elbows and other factors that might hinder performance. Basically, when a WhisperGreenT fan faces static pressure, its speed is automatically increased to ensure that the desired CFM is actually achieved. This allows the fan to perform as rated and makes for easier installation because the installer no longer has to worry as much about compromising the fan's performance. Uses ultra energy-efficient DC motor.
DC Brushless Motor
Panasonic's DC brushless motor provides unparalleled energy efficiency with its magnetic rotor and print circuit board. The magnetic rotor prevents energy loss while the print circuit board incorporates a unique IC chip which monitors and directs the RPM of the fan blade. The combination of these two unique features allows the DC motor to have higher energy efficiency than an AC motor.
Variable Speed Control
This fan is equipped with a CustomVentT Variable Speed Control. This allows the fan to run continuously at a pre-set lower level of 30-70 CFMs that can then be elevated to a maximum of 80 CFMs when the switch is turned on, or via the SmartActionT Motion Sensor. A High/Low delay timer(adjustable from 30 seconds - 60 minutes), will then return the fan to the minimum CFM level after a period of time set by the user.
