What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Protect your boards
Got these for a friend to put on his roof bars, to protect his stand-up paddleboard, who says: I have yet to put them on, but they seem well padded and like they will keep the board protected.
Even with a kayak carrier
I like this product. your bars are hard and they can damage your kayak, or board or canoe. If you have kayak carriers like me (Malones) then you know sometimes you scratch the bottom of the deck when throwing it up on the roof. With the cross bar pads you can toss it up there and not worry about the scratch and get a soft padded landing. That is how I use mine and with a separated shoulder I can't don't have the strength when lifting much weight over my head so this helps me out considerably.
Cheap easy surfboard rack!
These will fit great on Yakima or Thule bars, or even some "smaller" factory bars. I had them on my old Pathfinder bars, which were maybe 3" wide. The pads won't go all the way around wide bars, but you really only want to cover the top of the bar anyway, so you can just tie them on below, and they are fine. I use these pads, along with a set of tie-downs, to transport surfboards. Super cheap & easy way to move boards, boats, or anything else. Giving your rack the cushioning of these pads makes it much more universal, everyone should have at least one set!
Protect your stick
It seems the most damage my board suffers is from my car, loading, unloading. I don't fret too much about getting dings while I'm out in the water, but I always regret damage I do while just hauling the board around. These pads are a must if you love your board.
How wide are these? My SUP/kayak hybrid is pretty wide, wondering if this will cover the wide part of the hull that touches the bar.
Will this Product fit on my stock crossbars...

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Stand
I heard the bird drumming in the hole, so I knew he hadn't wandered off. That, I figured, would be my cue. If I heard the turkey start to walk away or heard the drumming fade, I would stand and try to whack him before he spotted me. Until then, however, I remained confident the bird would finish the hunt in fine fashion.
A minute later, I wasn't so sure, but the bird continued to spit and drum, so I kept the faith. When I finally heard footsteps, I prayed they were heading left instead of directly away. A flash of red and white revealed they were.
The gobbler stepped briefly into the open and then behind a wood pile, letting me adjust my gun. When he popped out from behind the wood pile, the shot met him there, and the hunt was finished.
I suppose a lot of guys would have stood and finished the hunt quicker. Then again, they might have arisen to find the bird screened by brush or rubber-necking away, offering no shot. I guess I'll never know. I took some pride in the fact that when I finally stood, it was to retrieve my longbeard and head for the truck.
What decision did you make?

Supply Chain Managers Face New Shift in Leading Ocean Cargo Gateways
July 9, 2013
Having surpassed the California ports to claim the top spot in the index in 2012, the Port of New York and New Jersey ranked first again in 2013, this year by a rapidly-widening 9-point margin, followed by the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
As noted in yesterday's report, Jones Lang LaSalle's Seaport Index suggests a new definition for "Top Ports" in the U.S.
"The ports that succeed in our index are the shipping destinations best able to adapt to challenges of serving larger ships, expanding efficiencies and capacity while managing the ups and downs of a volatile global marketplace," said Rich Thompson, Managing Director of JLL's Ports Airports and Global Infrastructure (PAGI) group. "The industrial real estate market in New Jersey offers more options for retailers that need to both store and distribute inventory immediately after it comes off the ships."
The highest ranking seaports in the index benefit from the following three primary factors:
1. Population Density Proximity. The warehouse and distribution center markets bordering the ports in the Los Angeles and New York regions serve considerable super-regional populations. In the case of New York / New Jersey, the surrounding metropolitan population totals 30.9 million, and 80 percent of imports stay within 260 miles of the port.
2. Real Estate Availability. Overall, the seaport markets continue to lead the broader industrial real estate market, making port-centric locations of perennial interest to investors in this property type. To help alleviate demand for big box space, national industrial construction is up 50 percent from one year ago and inland ports are being developed to provide an alternative to on-port warehouse and handling space.
3. Improved Infrastructure. The winner in this category is the Port of Los Angeles owing to its large and fast-growing container volume, rail connectivity and post-Panama expansion preparation. On this metric, New York / New Jersey is second while Long Beach, Savannah, and Baltimore round out the top five. A few other ports, such as Miami, are also undertaking major infrastructure improvements to improve connectivity and accelerate their competitive market positioning.
When it comes to second-and third-tier ports, the rankings were shuffled: Savannah continues to lead the second tier of ports in the Index, followed by Baltimore and Jacksonville. The third tier has Charleston in the lead, followed by Tacoma and Virginia. Charleston and Virginia switched places compared to last year's rankings. The good news for port executives and industrial real estate investors is that several second and third tier markets have projects underway that—upon completion—will eventually provide users with more options. For example, Miami is developing a new tunnel and rail system that will give the port easier access to 74 percent of the U.S. population.
"As larger ships with double the capacity make calls on our U.S. ports, one of the real differentiators will be the ports ability to improve their throughput and to move those containers more efficiently and effectively from the ships to the major distribution centers and population hubs," said Thompson.

Hello, again. I'm now trying to see which project(s) to
take on. I have a bit of time on my hands, and I clearly
need to brush up on some of my skills. Guess i'll wander
on over to the SourceForge and similar resources to see
what needs doing.
Ideally, i'd like to brush up on my Perl, Java, JSPs, Beans, servlets, and various compilers/tools. Oh, yeah, i surely need to brush up on my SQL; i'm really rusty these days.
I do have some friends who are interested in putting up a particular kind of site (sorry, this is a family show--i can't mention the name). that seems like a perfect opportunity to blend all this (or as much as i want).
so, i sense a Linux box with Apache, Beans, mySQL, and a few other odds and ends thrown in for fun. should be a great workout.
i'll keep you posted as i work out some of the details on the project.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hey guy. Hope this will help you out with your question. A Freestone river has a substrate made up of rocks which have names that corespond to their size, for example (from Largest to smallest) Rip Rap , Boulders, cobbles, gravel, peastone. You are also correct in assuming that a spring creek is feed by underwater springs which keep the water temps. consistently cold throughout the seasons. A true tail water results when the dam realease comes from underneath the dam itself as opposed to over the top. this also creates a consisently cold environ for the food web in that river. Good for Salmonids! Make no mistake about it though Seasonal fisheries that reach the upper critical leathal limits of water tempertures can have tremendous fishing for trout during cold water periods such as in my beloved Housatonic. The diverse substrate (Mud,rocks,sand) and the over abundance of nutrients (nitrogen & Phosphorus) although considered limiting factors, create an insect rich habitat that is unmatched by any freestone stream. Hope this hepls Marc!
River Types
What is the difference, in the rivers What is a freestone, tail water and a spring creek I'm almost sure a spring creek is a spring feed river, but not sure. If anyone can help with a little info that would be great.

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Three downtown Tupelo churches will host a "trunk-or-treat" Halloween event tonight from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
First United Methodist, First Presbyterian and All Saints' Episcopal churches also will participate.
With expectations of a large turnout, Jefferson Street will be blocked off from Green Street to Robins Street, while church members arrange their cars so children can visit them one by one in trick-or-treat style.
"Our churches are in each other's backyard. It is great to do this together and says a lot about the unity of Tupelo's religious community," said Kristen Partin, director of older children's ministry at First United Methodist Church.
Since Jefferson Street will be blocked off, it will allow cars to be spaced out to give a more door-to-door feel and the process will not be over as quickly. Partin said it is customary for volunteers to decorate their cars in addition to wearing costumes themselves.
"We encourage a biblical theme, but the only rule we really have is not to get too scary for the sake of some of the younger treaters," Partin said.
The Rev. Carson Overstreet, associate minister for young adult ministries at First Presbyterian, said the three churches expressed mutual interest in working together at a ministerial association meeting.
"It's an effort to provide a safe place for our children to trick-or-treat on Halloween," Overstreet said.


text: Just got a box of these for my Valmet with fixed choke (don't know choke constriction, just that a 20 ga shell stops at the brass when inserted into barrel end). I have used Winchester ER and they were good but kind of expensive when I don't necessarily need the added range, I shoot 30 yds. Does anyone have a suggestion as to a better commercially available shell? I know cost is relative because I already shoot Ray's shells in 2 other guns.

Haley orders new security measures following breach
COLUMBIA, Nov 15, 2012 (The Post and Courier - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Gov. Nikki Haley is requiring the 16 agencies under her control to implement new security measures after the massive cyberattack at one of the agencies.
Haley issued an executive order Wednesday that requires Cabinet agencies, including the breached S.C. Department of Revenue, to work with the Division of State Information Technology on security initiatives.
The Revenue Department wasn't using the free cybersecurity offered by DSIT for the servers that were breached in the attack.
That security will be beefed up with Haley's order. Several Cabinet agencies will split the cost of hiring four new full-time DSIT employees who will help provide 24-hour monitoring to look for unusual events or viruses on agency systems.
"We need somebody in the office 24 hours a day monitoring those computers to make sure that the second they see an intrusion, they can stop it," Haley said.
The move should take about 60 days to fully implement, Haley said.
The governor's order also will require the purchase of equipment that will immediately shut down an affected computer if it notices any files being improperly moved or viruses being downloaded.
Haley doesn't control the dozens of other agencies of state government outside her Cabinet, but she said the administration has encouraged them to add monitoring services.
As of Wednesday, no new agencies have added DSIT security following the breach, the division's leader said.
Haley announced the security changes during a news conference.
About $160,300 in Homeland Security money from the State Law Enforcement Division will be used to purchase the new equipment from Mandiant, the company now conducting a review of how the breach occurred. A report on that review is expected this week, she said.
The new steps are designed to avoid a repeat of the recent cyberattack that compromised Social Security numbers for 3.8 million people who had paid state taxes since 1998, thousands of credit and debit card numbers, and information from as many as 657,000 S.C. businesses.
Haley said officials believe the hacker accessed servers through one computer work station. The new equipment, known as "The Hand," would immediately shut down access to the system if such a breach was discovered, she said.
S.C. Inspector General Patrick Maley said every state agency has some form of protection in place to safeguard its computers. The problem is that this isn't standardized, he said.
Although the agency didn't use the DSIT monitoring, a Revenue Department spokeswoman said at the time of the breach that the agency had several other security features in place.
Those include monitoring from Trustwave, which officials have said was used instead of DSIT monitoring because Trustwave is compliant with credit card company standards for processing card information.
Mandiant is expected to address what exactly Trustwave was doing for the agency at the time of the breach. The company was charged with helping to protect credit card information, not the mass of tax return information compromised in the cyberattack.
Revenue Department spokeswoman Samantha Cheek said other security measures in place before the breach included two firewalls, regular virus scanning of all desktop and laptop computers, Web filtering and spam filtering.
None of those safeguards stopped the cyberattack.
Maley said the steps taken Wednesday are a short-term safety measure. His task is now to help come up with a long-term solution as part of an earlier Haley executive order, he said.

Who picked up what and what did you think?
I snagged 8 books:
Comics 101 (TwoMorrows) - Very cool book on creating comics, a Cliffs Notes type of the history of comics, and more.
How to Draw (Wizard) - A collection of Wizard's drawing lessons. Fairly good stuff.
Family Guy and Hack/Slash (DDP) - Family Guy was as bad as The Simpsons comics and Hack/Slash was decent, but not enough to make me want to buy it.
The Amazing Spider-man (Marvel) - Dear God, why would Marvel put this piece of carp out as a showcase? Retarded *** story (Jackpot - are you f*cking kidding me? And the villain is a Spidey fan? Ugh.) and great art...from a guy that tries way to damn hard (Is early 90's Image hiring?).
Justice League of America (DC) - Made absolutely no sense.
Pirates vs Ninjas (APE) - Pirates? Ninjas? Sounds awesome, right? *sigh* Printed poop. And why did have a $.50 cover price - on FREE Comic Book Day (and no, I didn't pay for it).
Whiteout (Oni) - Not bad, but I was really ticked when I found this wasn't a self-contained story. Its a stupid reprint of an old first issue!
Unseen Peanuts (Fantagraphics) - Probably the best of the bunch. I'm not a big Peanuts fan, but its pretty cool to see some of these strips that haven't been seen in 50 years. And seeing Charlie Brown being an a-hole and Snoopy in the electric chair is priceless.
Also got the cool Fantastic Four 2 poster.


text: They released the full trailer today. I watched it on youtube and its really heightened my anticipation. Its definitely got an "ALIEN" feel to it, which shouldn't be surprising. The trailer lays out the plot while, hopefully, keeping some surprises for the actual release. This is the most anticipated movie of the year for me. I hope it lives to my expectations.

I thought it would be nice to engrave the baby's Hebrew name and birthday on the box. I payed for next day air and it arrived, as promised. I opened the package and found a beautiful, but scratched box. I was so upset! I called customer service and they shipped out another one, which arrived the very next day and it was perfect! I couldn't be more satisfied and the gift was a big hit!

I didn't ask but I would guess he was the runt and the left over of the litter ( today at 9 weeks he was a whopping 6 pounds) but you wouldn't guess it by watching him. Maybe it's his size, or my spur of the moment decision, but I have a weird but good feeling about him.

SYCAMORE – On Saturday, Nov. 10, Collins Dental Group P.C. provided veterans and their immediate families with free dental exams and cleanings, as well as certain dental procedures, such as extractions and fillings. The practice saw nearly 100 patients and provided more than $23,000 worth of dental work that day.
Veterans of all ages and their families took advantage of the event, the first of its kind for the dental group. Most veterans are provided with medical care programs once they return to the U.S., but dental care is sometimes not an option for them financially. Collins Dental Group saw a need for dental care assistance in the local veteran community.
Vets were greeted by the local VFW post commander and regional recruitment officer, who explained some of the benefits available to them and invited them to enter a drawing for a new American flag. Throughout the day, Dr. Dennis Collins and many of the staff came out to the waiting room to greet the veterans and their families and thank them for their service.
The practice began taking reservations for weeks before the event and had nearly 70 appointments booked by Nov. 10. Despite only a 10 to 15 minute wait after check-in for most procedures, the waiting room was full the entire day and the mood was light.
The staff had been busy planning the event for months.
"It's our way of thanking (veterans) for their sacrifice and service to our nation," Collins said.
Twenty-five staffers, six hygienists and six doctors volunteered their time to work at the event.
"We feel it is important to be part of the social fabric of our community along with our patients," Collins said. "All the dentists at Collins Dental Group live, work and play in our local communities."
The practice also has a veteran on staff. Dr. Bryce Deter, a dentist, is a U.S. Navy veteran who has worked for the group for more than 20 years. Deter served five years in the Navy as a dental officer and reached the rank of lieutenant commander. He was stationed in California, Okinawa and Rhode Island.
"What impressed me most about the Navy is their professionalism," Dr. Deter said. One aspect of Navy dentistry Deter has implemented into his practice is the team approach. "In the Navy I was working with other dentists routinely, so it seemed natural to come into a group practice and have a similar setting. The advantage you have is you see a case, show an x-ray to another doctor and bounce ideas off of them. I think it affords better treatment for the patients," he said.
Collins said the service of veterans inspires him and the rest of the staff.
"We are all eager to give back to them by donating our time and resources in order to provide these veterans with dental care," he said.
Collins said he plans to make the free dentistry for veterans day an annual event.

Signs would certainly suggest that, on the national stage, a political family heritage is as valuable as ever (see: George W. Bush), and that women can successfully exploit the connections. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, whose father was a congressman from Maryland, is one of four daughters of former members of Congress now serving. Four widows of former members are also in Congress. And of course, Hillary Clinton became a US senator, and may become president.
But in Massachusetts, the last two women elected to Congress — Margaret Heckler, who served from 1967 until 1983, and Louise Day Hicks, who served one term beginning in 1971 — made their own names. The same is true of other prominent elected women in the state, including Senate President Therese Murray and Attorney General Martha Coakley.
1) Whether American politics will continue to take on a royalist flavor — with the likes of the Kennedys, Bushes, Cuomos, and Clintons besting those who lack recognizable names. And,
2) Is Tsongas — who, if she were to win, would become just the fourth woman that Massachusetts has ever sent to Washington — part of a rise in female power within the Democratic Party, along with stars such as Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi?
Tsongas's four opponents for the Democratic nomination complain that her name recognition alone shouldn't decide the race. And that's a reasonable, but futile, point to make in a state that for 200 years has swooned over the scions of Adams, Davis, Everett, Lodge, and O'Neill.
On the other hand, this is not your grandfather's Massachusetts, and none of the state's leaders — including Governor Deval Patrick, Senate President Therese Murray, and House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi — was born with a silver gavel in his or her hand.
Congressman Barney Frank, a Tsongas supporter (who, coincidentally, defeated the last woman to represent Massachusetts in Congress, Margaret Heckler, when their districts were combined after the 1980 Census cost the state a seat), has said that this race will capture national attention as a referendum on the Iraq War and the 2006-elected Democratic Congress. But so far, the attention has settled on two decidedly different issues: Tsongas's late husband and her gender.
Careful references
Tsongas is unabashed about playing the gender card, even though one of her chief rivals is Eileen Donoghue, a former mayor of Lowell. (The other Democrats running are state representatives Jamie Eldridge, Barry Finegold, and Jim Miceli.)

Christians are excited about visiting Bethphage when they realize that this location on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives is where the Palm Sunday Walk actually began, and that it is only a short walk from the main Mount of Olives road.
It was from Bethphage, now marked by two small churches, that the disciples brought the donkey on which Jesus rode triumphantly into Jerusalem (Matt. 21:1; Mark 11:1; Luke 19:29). Bethphage means "house of the unripe fig," recalling that here Jesus also cursed a fig tree with leaves and no fruit (Mark 11:12).
The centerpiece of Bethphage's Franciscan chapel is a large stone with the inscription "Bethphage," and colorful medieval paintings depicting the triumphal entry and the resurrection of Lazarus in nearby Bethany.
The Greek Orthodox Church courtyard just up the hill has a lovely view and a comfortable place to sit for outdoor prayer and Bible study.

Minecraft on Linux
Installing Minecraft (version 1.3.1) on Linux is not always as simple as you might think. It's a Java application so it should run on all platforms supported by Oracle but unfortunately sometimes (For some unknown reasons) this doesn't work out of the box. This article describes how to get it running on a current Ubuntu Linux 12.04 on a 64 bit machine and how to create a desktop entry for it so you don't have to start it with this long command mentioned on the Minecraft website.

Here's a light and tasty icy-cool ending to a festive holiday dinner.
For Rosemary-Green Tea Granita, substitute green tea for the red zesty tea, pineapple juice for the cranberry juice and a rosemary sprig for the cinnamon stick.
If you don't want the hassle of stirring every 30 minutes, stir granita after 2 hours, then cover and freeze 3 hours or overnight. To serve, scrape surface of granita with fork and spoon into glasses.
Garnish with festive kiwifruit stars. To easily make the stars, cut slices of kiwifruit with a small, deep star-shaped cookie cutter.

Chapter 2: Conditional Probability
This chapter builds on the concepts learned in the previous chapter on probability. Starting with tree diagrams as a means of displaying outcomes for various trials, we will learn how to read the diagrams and find probabilities. We will also find that order does not matter unless working with permutations. Permutations, such as the combination of your lock at the gym, require their own special formula. When outcomes for permutations have repetitions, these repetitions must also be included in the calculations in order to account for the multiple entries. Combinations, like permutations, also have their own special formula. Combinations, such as the number of teams of 4 that can be arranged in a class of 15 students, are different from permutations, because the order in combinations is insignificant. In this chapter, we will also learn about conditional probability. Conditional probability comes into play when the probability of the second event occurring is dependent on the probability of the first event.

Chapter Summary
This chapter begins with learning how to draw and use tree diagrams as a way to visualize and calculate probabilities. It then moves on to the more complex caculations of permuations and combinations - where permutations are events where the order matters, and combinations are events where the order does not matter. Given total number of objects, and objects chosen is expressed as , the number of permutations (with order) is:
while the number of combinations (without order) is:
The chapter concludes with how to calculate using conditional probability, where a second event depends on the first event.

Family: Rachycentridae, Cobias view all from this family
Description Cobia (Rachycentron canadum)—also known as black kingfish, black salmon, ling, lemonfish, crabeaters, aruan tasek, etc.—are perciform marine fish, the sole representative of their family, the Rachycentridae.
Attaining a maximum length of 2 metres (78 inches) and maximum weight of 68 kilograms (150 pounds), cobia have elongate fusiform (spindle shaped) bodies and broad, flattened heads. Their eyes are small and their lower jaw projects slightly past the upper jaw. On the jaws, tongue and roof of the mouth are bands of villiform (fibrous) teeth. Their bodies are smooth with small scales, their dark brown coloration grading to white on the belly with two darker brown horizontal bands on the flanks. These may not be prominent except during spawning when cobia lighten in colour and adopt a more prominently striped pattern. The large pectoral fins are normally carried horizontally (rather than vertically as shown for convenience in the illustration), so that, as seen in the water they may be mistaken for a small shark. When boated, the horizontal pectoral fins enable the cobia to remain upright so that their vigorous thrashing can make them a hazard. The first dorsal fin is composed of six to nine independent, short, stout, and sharp spines. The family name Rachycentridae, from the Greek words rhachis meaning "spine" and kentron meaning "sting," is an allusion to these dorsal spines. Mature cobia have forked, slightly lunate tail fins with most fins being a dark brown. They lack air bladders.
Dimensions Up to 6'7" (2 m); 110 1/4 lbs (50 kg).
Habitat Open ocean, Ocean or bay shallows.
Range Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas.

AVON, Ohio — Duck Tape is heading to the runway this Thursday on Lifetime's "Project Runway," as season 11's aspiring designers face the "Unconventional Materials Challenge," a competition in every season that challenges them to create high-fashion clothing from something other than fabric.
Airing on March 7 at 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CDT, the episode will feature contestants trying to win over the judges — Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Zac Posen — with their designs made with Duck Tape-brand duct tape. Designers will team up and create their styles from Duck Tape's wide range of more than 150 colors — which include aqua, fluorescent green, pink, orange and yellow — and prints, such as Mustache, Graffiti and Zig-Zag.
Thanks to the product's versatility and the endless number of ways it can be used, Duck Tape has backed a trend of using duct tape for aesthetic purposes in addition to practical ones.
"Duck Tape has come a long way in the crafting and fashion world," said Bill Kahl, EVP marketing at ShurTech Brands, the company that markets Duck Tape. "It has become a remarkable design medium, with countless Duck Tape enthusiasts using it to create everything from handbags to headbands, and we continue to see this trend grow as our palette of colors and prints evolves. This is a great partnership, and we're anxious to see the final creations."
Duck Tape is available at mass merchandise, craft, hardware, home center, food, drug, office, auto and specialty retailers nationwide.

Lawmakers question UW System president
Reilly under fire for multimillion-dollar reserve fund
MADISON, Wis. - The president of the UW System was in the hot seat in the state capitol Tuesday as lawmakers wanted an explanation of a multimillion-dollar reserve fund.
To say that lawmakers were angry would be putting it lightly. They accused UW System President Kevin Reilly of mismanaging taxpayer and tuition dollars. Reilly appeared with the UW-Madison interim chancellor and other officials at the Joint Committee on Employment Relations, for a hearing that was supposed to be on approving a new personnel program for the system. Instead, lawmakers said they wanted to hold off after learning through a state report last week that the system has a $648 million reserve fund, with $414 million of that coming directly from tuition.
"Continually time after time you have embarassed the state of Wisconsin," said Rep. Robin Vos, R-Burlington. "Your actions by creating this billion-dollar slush fund by having huge tuition increases are shameful."
"Obviously this is most unfortunate," said Rep. Peter Barca, D-Kenosha. "While surpluses are good, it's not good if it comes at the expense of our students."
Reilly explained that some funds were already committed to future projects, but they were also saving up because the long-term trend is likely lower state funding and lower enrollment.
"That trend combined with the huge recession the country went through really made folks at the campuses say 'we have to have more and more in the bank because we know the long-term trend is that state funding is not going to go up it will go down long term, and we have costs to cover,'" said Reilly.
Lawmakers were frustrated with the answers, and said they wanted to know why UW said cuts in the last budget would be "devastating" while it was carrying such a large balance.
"It seems to me like you're telling me the exact scenario we went through is what you're saving the money for," said Vos. "But only you were smart enough to know that the money was set aside, and you didn't share it with the Legislature so elected officials could help make that decision."
"We're not smart enough to know exactly what's going to happen with enrollment from year to year and that's part of what we fear," said Reilly. "We're not smart enough to know what will happen with the economy and state budget. The message has been, you don't need to be smart but be good long-term managers."
Lawmakers are still skeptical and want more information from the university and Board of Regents on who knew what, and why these decisions were made.
"There's a degree of arrogance here on the part of the University," said Sen. Mike Ellis, R-Neenah. "They all think they are PhDs and we ought to be working at a Jiffy Lube."
Reilly told lawmakers he planned to create a policy with the Board of Regents that would decide how much to keep in reserve and how to report it more publicly.

New Years Eve will never be the same. RIP Mr. Clark.
"You know I love the guy but I swear he writes like freaking Yoda."-Dean Winchester
R12:2-Be Transformed
Two TV establishments in Clark and Wallace. I don't want to think who's the third.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Judging from the recent news, I'm betting a rock star from a band that starts with the letter 'B.' Just not sure if it'll be the Bee Gees or the Band.
That's my jacket!
On a lesser note, Greg Ham, flautist from the group Men At Work, has passed.
I guess Ham was pretty broken up over the 2010 lawsuit, he was afraid it would tarnish his legacy. From what I've read, he was a great guy and well loved by everyone who knew him. Sad indeed.
On a side note, every New Years celebration will forever be 2004-05 as far as I am concerned. Mr. Clark has been doing the New Years celebration every year since before I was born, except for 04-05 due to his stroke.
May the force be with you.
Jonathan Frid has passed. The film version of the series was just weeks away from release.
As has the incomparable Levon Helm.
That's my jacket!
Yeah... was just gonna report that.

general killifish info
So since the holiday catalogs are being shipped out a few days ago I happened to notice my young cousin looking at a product in the magazine known as fish in a jiff. as an avid hobbyist my interest was peeked and I took a minute to review the product. the items description stated that the fish in the kit are killifish (of which I have only general knowledge) and that you could hatch fish in minutes. I know that killifish lay their eggs in annual pools and that seasonal rainfall triggers their hatching. However this only my real information on this group of fish. I pondered order the kit for a short bit but I realized that as a aquarist who is constantly tinkering with his tanks I would never be satisfied with a $40 mail order kit. I figure that with a little guidance from this forum I could produce a much more stimulating experience raising killifish. So I come to you for basic information on
- killifish care
- hatching killifish
- reputable sources for eggs
- plants suitable for killifish aquariums
I don't know much about killifish but there are many people on this forum that do. I suggest you read this first http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=69810American League Champions! TIGERS!
Killiefish are often chosen as a fish for breeding because of their short lifespan. If I remember correctly it's something like two years maximum. For the species to survive in nature they have to breed easily and whenever possible. The first suggestions that come to mind for a Killie hatching tank would be something with a lot of surface area and low water flow, and extra filtration if you can. Live floating plants like anacharis can help provide good hatching places and help dampen water flow in some areas. Just remember Killies are to dwellers so they will need some open space as well, hence the tank with more surface area.
The lifespan of killis depend on the type and species of killis. Some seldom live much longer than 6-8 months while other species has what would be considered a normal lifespan for a fish their size.
It all depends on whether the species are adapted to a climate where the ponds try out for part of the year or not.Do as I say. Not as I do.

Diabetes and NCDs are absent from the current Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and this has been an obstacle to establishing political priority and resources needed for diabetes and NCDs.
The Political Declaration was a major step towards integrating diabetes and NCDs into the future global development agenda.
IDF and the NCD Alliance are advocating to build on the Declaration and to ensure diabetes and NCDs are integrated into the development framework that will replace the MDGs in 2015. While 2015 may seem a long time away, the global dialogue and the processes to shape the post-2015 development framework have already begun.
What is IDF doing?
- The official United Nations consultation process on post-2015 is now underway. This includes the UN High-Level Panel on Post-2015 and UN global and national consultations from 2012-2013 which are being held on a range of different development issues and in over 100 countries. Of immediate importance for IDF is the Global Thematic Health Consultation in Botswana from 5-6 March 2013, which is co-organised by WHO and UNICEF and includes diabetes and NCDs. Find out more on the UN World We Want website and read IDF's responses to these consultations here.
- In May 2012, the European Commission launched a public consultation on the post-2015 framework to contribute to the UN process. This was an opportunity to review the progress of the MDGs and ensure the future development framework includes NCDs. The NCD Alliance submitted a response to the consultation which you can download here.
- The UN Task Team delivered their report, Realizing the Future We Want for All, to the UN Secretary General in July 2012. The Report acknowledges that the MDGs did not adequately address a number of development issues, including diabetes and NCDs. We were pleased to see the influence of our Think Piece in the Report, which identifies addressing diabetes and NCDs as a priority for future social development
- A key meeting in the build up to post-2015 was the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in June 2012. After advocacy from the health community, including IDF and the NCD Alliance, high priority was secured for health at Rio+20 and NCDs were recognised as a major challenge for sustainable development in the 21st Century. You can discover more about the NCD Alliance campaign on Rio+20 here. IDF has also produced a report on Diabetes and Climate Change, which can be found here
- At the start of 2012, IDF and the NCD Alliance began a campaign to influence the UN process to define the post-2015 goals. In January, we submitted a think piece on NCDs and post-2015 to the UN Task Team who are leading this process. We saw a major breakthrough in March 2012 when UNDP announced in March that NCDs will be part of the global thematic consultation on health, along with HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria and maternal health.

Welcome to NarutoXFlames Sony Vegas Tutorial Part 1
Ok. This is my first tutorial. It's about the NLE(non-linear editor) called Sony Vegas. I'm using version 6.0 but you can still use most versions with this tutorial i believe. Anyways, on with the tutorial!
Ok. First of all, you have to understand the videos you use in vegas cannot be compressed in DiVX of Xvid. If they are(wich you will figure out if they don't go onto your timeline) you need a little program called Virtual dub mod:
what you need to do:
open your video in Virtual dub mod(VDub Mod form now on) and select the clips you want to render with the 2 buttons at the bottom tolbar(most right buttons)
Now. You'r going to want to compress in lagarith
so make a google search for "lagarith loseless codec" I'm not going to tell you about other codecs right now, because i find lagarith is the best way to do it. Once you have your clips,
First of all, use your explorer to find all your clips(im guessing you NEATLY organized your clips somewhere.) Now drag your clips into the "timeline" You can have as many video and audio tracks as you want in order to make faded images with the "opacity" trick wich i will explain in my next guide. This is the fun part. You get to drag your clips and audio onto the timeline and mix around.
This concludes part 1 of my tutorial. Next time we'll be learning about some other basics like basic effects, transitions, panning and other things!
P.S:Sorry about the image sizes
i hope you enjoyed part 1![/img]

After seeing how BHO promised to end pork form any bill to cross his desk after the porkulas bill anyway .AIG has decided to follow his example and give bonuses before a Sunday dead line, BUT (and this is the good part) they promise to restrain future payments. Lead by example I always say. Now how much complaining can we do? AIG is just doing the same thing as our dear leader and all of his cronies ..

Chiropractor will live the Olympic dream
Frahm's role is to aid USA Wrestling as it competes
Matt Frahm admits he wasn't the best wrestler growing up.
Certainly no Olympian.
"I wrestled in high school, but I was terrible," joked Frahm. "I guess it's not what God created me to do. I can be the doctor for the wrestlers."
As a member of the Wellness Advisory Council, which is comprised of 100 doctors nationwide, that's exactly what he does.
And come this summer, Frahm, a Maximized Living doctor and the CEO of Pinnacle Chiropractic in Brookfield, will be at the Olympic Games with the USA Wrestling team. He'll be there as an official team chiropractor.
Through the Wellness Advisory Council, the doctors provide chiropractic care, nutrition, exercise and mental-conditioning programs to prepare athletes for national and international competition.
He travels to a couple of international meets a year — he went with Team USA for the 2010 Pan Am Games in Monterrey, Mexico — and others across the country and state.
Most recently, Frahm helped out at the Dominate the Dells tournament in Wisconsin Dells earlier this month and, in preparation for the Olympics, he was at a training conference last weekend in Orlando.
That brought Frahm, who grew up in Merritt Island, Fla., back to his hometown.
He earned his bachelor's degree in nutrition at the University of Florida and while he had plans of going to medical school, he had a change of heart and went to Palmer College of Chiropractic where he graduated valedictorian.
While at Florida, he met his wife, Jennifer, a Waukesha native, who works as the office manager at Pinnacle Chiropractic. Jennifer, an Olympic-caliber gymnast growing up, will join her husband in London, a city the two already visited for pleasure.
"We're excited to go back," said Matt Frahm, who will also work at the FILA Junior National Championships April 13 to 15 in Madison. "(The Olympics) will be a completely different setting. It's just an amazing opportunity."
The Olympics are exciting for Frahm, but for him, it's simply about helping his patients or athletes through Maximized Living.
"Being a part of the Advisory Council, it's cutting edge, and I love that it trickles into my patients who can get world-class care that you won't find anywhere else," he said. "It's really helped our clinic.
"I love what I do and am very blessed to be in Brookfield and be a resource for wellness in our community."

This yummy main-dish salad goes together so quickly that you'll think it's the chef's day off!
Dress this salad up when you serve it on a bed of shredded lettuce or bite-size pieces of mixed greens.
Boiled pasta continues to cook from the heat of the hot cooking water. Rinse pasta with cold water immediately after cooking, not only to chill it for this cold salad, but also to ensure that the pasta doesn't soften from continued cooking.
This salad leaves plenty of room for inspiration. Use any cheese or cooked meat or seafood to replace the Cheddar and ham.

Now, before we make these changes, I want to get feedback from you. If you have questions about the forum proposal, please ask them. If you have suggestions for better forum names, or for changing a part of the proposed layout, post away!
In addition to that, there's a few questions I have for all of you:
-Two forums, Heads Up! and Audio Help, are targeted for removal. We can merge all threads into their new homes (General Discussion, and General Video & Audio Help respectively), or just the currently active threads. The "Other ICs" forum is also being considered for removal since it's had zero activity in the year since its creation. Which option sounds better?
-Seeing as Anime Screencaps has about 2 active threads, we'd like to move them into General Anime and make Screencaps more of an archive. Alternatively, we can remove Screencaps from view (moving a few more of the once popular threads into General Anime). Which would you prefer?
-The structure of Org Supported Contests and AMV Contests makes it so that they could easily be merged. Is this something you would like to see? If so, any suggestions for what name to use for the merged forum?
I'd like to keep things moving along here, so I'll give everyone one week (until June 5th) to weigh in. If we need more time to get things finalized, we'll take more time, but don't count on it. If you have something to say, say it now or forever hold your pizza.

To the Salt Lakes of Bolivia
Trip Start Jun 09, 2005
105Trip End Jun 08, 2006
Day 1 Bolivian Border to Lago Colorado
We are picked up bright and early at our hostel and meet some of our fellow passengers: one South African girl called Bev McKenzie (definite Scottish connection there), a 45 year old Japanese man who has retired early, three German girls (including one called Susan who knows more about Scotland than I do), a chatty Australian girl called Kate, and a Canadian boy who goes by the name of Lord Byron.
After getting a Chilean exit stamp on the edge of San Pedro de Atacama we drive up a further 2000m in altitude on to the altiplano (about 4500m altitude)
We get out of the minibus and realise immediately that we are not properly clothed, because despite the bright sunshine, its absolutley freezing in the strong wind. We huddle into the small shack to hand over 15 Bolivianos (about GBP1.20) to get our passports stamped by a friendly but lonely official.
The group splits into two Toyota Landcruisers. We end up with 4 passengers in ours, and we say hello to weatherbeaten Bolivian driver Claudio and his enthusuisatic cook/assistant Carmelo.
Its immediately apparent that Bolivia is a much poorer country than Chile because of the rough state of the road. Indeed the road does not seem to exist at all as we drive through wide desolate valleys following no particular track. Around us we see brown gravel, rising into the peaks of extinct volcanoes where a light dusting of snow covers the ground above 5000m. Vegetation is extremely sparse, but we still spot Vicu�as grazing on what little they can find
At a small park office we buy tickets for 30 Bolivianos (about GBP2.50) for Reserva Nacional de Fauna Andina Eduardo Avaroa. We will be travelloing through this park for the rest of the day.
Bouncing along in the landcruisers in this big open landscape reminds us strongly of driving through the Tibetan plateau, especially the route up to Everest Base Camp (see entry for July 12, 2005, Shigatse). The sun-blackened faces of the locals, the use of colourful woolen textiles, and the high arid landscape, are strong connections with Tibet.
Our first stop of the day is at Laguna Blanca, so called because of the still milky white water which reflects the jagged mountains behind it. A short stop further on we get to Laguna Verde, where copper salts have imbued the water with an emerald green tinge. Water does not flow out of this lake and as the sun evaporates the water, so the copper salts are concentrated in it. I pick up a bright green glassy stone out of the gravel and put it in my pocket.
Despite the altitude, everyone is feeling great because of the rapidly warming day, the bright sunshine, and the fantastic views
Before lunch we stop at Laguna Polques where there are some natural hot springs which have been crudely dammed with stones to form little bathing pools. Within no time Rachel is in her bathing suit and is lolling around in the tepid water. The view out over the sparkling blue lake, and the bright green and red water weeds in the adjacent stream makes it a memorable soak. We eat lunch on the side of the lake enjoying the views for a while longer. During lunch, Rachel�s bathing suit dries completely in the low humidity air and strong sunshine.
In the afternoon we pass Geyser Sol de Ma�ana where there are some bubbling mud pools and steam hissing out of the ground. The vapour coming out of the ground reeks of sulphur and it feels like a dangerous and forlorn place.
Our last stop of the day is at Laguna Colorado where the water is stained red from iron salts in sweeping crimson ribbons across the lake
Our accomodation that night is a basic hostel built of mud bricks. It has a handful of rooms each with six beds, enough to handle the human contents of one landcruiser per room. As the sun goes down it feels bitterly cold, and there is no heating whatsoever. Unfortunately the toilets have no flush facilty and some less experienced travellers don't understand what the barrel of water and the bucket next to it are for.
Our guides cook up a tasty meal of vegetable soup followed by spaghetti with tomato sauce. Its not too bad considering the primitive cooking facilities they have in the house next door.
That night we sleep badly. Rachel and I share a bed because we reckon it will be warmer that way. Unfortunately, despite stealing the blankets off the two free beds in the room we are still freezing and find breathing difficult at 4600m altitude.
Day 2 Lago Colorado to Salt Hotel
We get up before sunrise and eat a simple breakfast of bread, jam, and hot coffee
We stop in Decierto Siloli to see the Arbol de Piedra, or �tree of stone�. A combination of wind and water erosion has created a strange outcrop whose slender stem and bulky top resemble a tree. Nearby there are lots of other strangely formed rocks that are tempting to clamber over.
We then pass through an area of highland lakes where we spy more flamingo, viscu�a, and domesticated llama. The first lake that day is called Honda much to the surprise of our fellow Japanese traveller. Later on we pass Lagunas Chearcota, Hedionda, and Ca�apa.
As we drive on, so the road seems to deteriorate more. For over half an hour we drive in first gear over a rocky hill and down the other side. We are surprised to meet a lone cyclist breathlessly pushing his bike up the steep incline, barely able to lift his hand to wave at us as we pass.
We stop for lunch beside a wildly eroded lava flow where the small hillocks look like waves in a sea of stone. Behind the lava flow is the active volcano Ollague, which is half in Bolivia and half in Chile. A plume of smoke from its summit reminds us that its still active.
In the afternoon we drive on to the flat expanse of Salar de Chiguana, and for the first time our journey achieve top gear in the Landcruiser. After a while we crawl carefully over a railway which is built on a stone embankment that stretches as far as the eye can see. Claudio manages to stall the Landcruiser halfway across, but initial alarm fades quickly when I remind Rachel there�s only one lonely train per week running between Bolivia and Chile on this line and it is due shortly. We drive down the other side of the embankment and tumble out of the car to pose for unimaginitive photos of our bodies lying across the railway line.
Past the salt lake, the road winds through several little adobe villages which seem to be completely dead. We stop in one, but we can�t find any shops open to sell us refreshments. As we stand in the dusty streets accompanied by a couple of stray dogs I think about what limited opportunities you might have if born in a place like this.
Soon the reason for the lack of people in the village streets becomes apparent when we see bicycles and ancient rusting vehicles parked beside rough patchy fields where buck wheat is being grown. Harvest of this staple is in full swing. People are cutting the reddish brown stalks by hand with primitive sickles under the intense glare of the sun. The women wear top hats, their colourful skirts swing on some of the fullest hips you can imagine for such diminutuive ladies. The peoples faces are like brown leather and they seem to work hard without any signs of fatigue.
We arrive at the Villa Martin, the �salt hotel�, for our second night
Our guides cook dinner for us - soup followed by chicken and buck wheat. A troup of local 10 year olds armed with pan pipes and drums play several songs for us, while a girl of the same age dances with a hat to collect money. Their grubby faces are set with determination and concentration as they play for us. Further entertainment is provided by watching two of the German girls compete for the amorous attention from Lord Byron. We enjoy some evening banter, but decide not to stay up to late since our guides recommend at 4.30am start the next morning.
Day 3 Salt Hotel to Uyuni
We struggle out of bed and leave the Salt Hotel by 5am in the morning. In the dark we are amazed that Claudio can navigate effectively because the road is indistinct. The headlights of three other Landcruisers follow ours; probably because only Claudio knows where he is going
Soon we are aware that the road is on a causeway across a vast lake of water. Without warning we suddenly leave the causeway and drive into the shallow water. We are now on the Salar de Uyuni and at this time of year, after the summer rains, large areas are covered in a layer of water. It could probably qualify as the largest puddle in the world.
In the still pre-dawn glow, the flood water reflects the changing pastel shades of the sky. We can�t make out where the horizon is, and sitting in the back of the Landcruiser it feels as though we are flying through heaven.
We stop in an area where the water is about 2cm deep and step out to take photos of the sunrise. Standing in the middle of this vast lake with mountains on one side and an indistinct horizon on the other is a surreal experience, and I feel an excited tug at the heart that signals we are in a very special place.
We drive across the salt lake passing through dry and wet areas until we reach Isla de los Pescadores (fishermans island). Most tours of the Salar stop here to admire the views, and see the world�s largest cactii that cover the tiny islet
Rachel and I hike up to the highest point and enjoy the expansive views of the white Salar all around. Some of the Cactii that cover the island are over 12 metres tall, and 1000 years old. The strange phallic cactii and the surreal landscape make it a memorable place.
After walking round the island, the boys prepare breakfast for us. Rachel and I gobble it up quicky and run back out on to the Salar to experiment taking photos with reflections in the mirror of the flooded white landscape.
We set off across the Salar again taking a bearing on some distant hills over 2 hours drive away. We stop from time to time to take more photos. In one area the water has dried off and the the surface is covered in large tesselated hexagonal crystals.
We are cruising comfortably about an hour from the edge of the Salar when we grind to a sudden halt; we�ve run out of fuel. Carmelo jumps up on to the roof of the Landcruiser and hands down a large blue barrel - which only has two litres left in it
Soon we come to another stop when the fuel runs out again. Claudio suspects a blockage somewhere in the fuel line and drains the remains of the petrol tank into a 5 litre water bottle. He sites this temporary tank inside the engine bay and puts the feed tubes from the injector pump into it. Soon we are cruising once again thanks to his ingenuity.
On the edge of the Salar, there is a ramshackle settlement which is a centre for edible salt production. We take a tour of one modest facility where a young girl gives us a quick overview. The salt is gathered up in pyramidal cones from the Salar and unloaded adjacent to a dryer. Fires are lit and the salt is shovelled on top of a large �hot plate� to be dried. It is then ground up into a finer powder using a mechanical grinder before being bagged and sealed by hand in 1kg packs. Its a very simple process not requiring much equipment or skill, not to mention the raw ingredient is free. It is surprising though that 50kg of finished product only commands 7 Bolivianos (about GBP0.60) ex factory. I give the girl 10 Bolivianos (about GBP0.80) for the tour and Rachel points out that I could have bought a lifetime�s supply of salt for the same amount
We eat a lunch of fried llama and pasta in a local restaurant and then head in to Uyuni. Claudio drives beyond the town and takes us to El Cemeterio de Trenes - the train cemetry. In 1959, with the purchase of diesel trains, Bolivia finally retired its fleet of steam locomotives and dumped them on this out-of-the way siding to quietly rust away. We wander round facinated by how well preserved the giant American-looking steam locomotives are. I can�t believe how much iron is used in their construction.
Claudio drives us into town and drops us off outside our hostel. We say our goodbyes and tip him and Carmelo 10% of the cost of the tour. They tell us that they work continuously, never taking a day�s holiday and as usual their next tour starts tomorrow.
After Chile, Uyuni is a little bit of a culture shock. People are dressed in traditional clothes, and the town, although pleasant, seems run-down and impoverished. Our hotel, Hostel Avenida, costs 20 Bolivianos (about GBP1.60) per person which is significantly less than we ever paid in Chile.
We realise that we have to make some mental adjustments as we continue our travels. However if Bolivia keeps dishing up scenery as we have seen in the last three days it should be well worth the effort.

During a protest about Russia's descent into a "police state" on Sunday, performance artist Pyotr Pavlensky nailed his scrotum into the cobblestones in Red Square.
Pavlensky's painful protest was meant to coincide with Sunday's national holiday, Police Day.
"The performance can be seen as a metaphor for the apathy, political indifference and fatalism of contemporary Russian society," Pavlensky said in a statement...

Democratic revolutionaries always confront the same problem: how to replace the old order without replicating its flaws. The French revolutionary Maximilien Robespierre's failure to resolve that dilemma led to his own demise on the guillotine. But a new biography reveals that today's radicals might learn from Robespierre's mistakes.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Zoe explores Chile's Atacama Desert. Nomad searches for micro-organisms in Antarctica. And then there's Bob, a robot built by two seventh-graders at Tupelo Middle School.
"We're hoping to make him talk," said Brian Haadsma, who worked with Alex Gray to build Bob.
"And we're trying to program it to see a ball and hit it with its hand."
The students are enrolled in the Excel Technology class, which teacher Julia Smith said exposes seventh- and eighth-graders to programs and technology above and beyond what is required by state curriculum standards.
"We actually have 12 Lego Mindstorms Education NXT robots that the students have built" from kits, Smith said.
She sees the value in introducing her students to robotics, which already is being used in fields such as surgery, scientific research and manufacturing. In turn, the 12- to 14-year-olds like it because it's fun.
"This is a very technology-driven age," Smith said, noting her students are trying to talk her into entering a BattleBots competition. (It won't happen.)
Principal Linda Clifton said the school paid $3,000 for the robot kits.
"It takes learning to another level, and uses higher-level thinking skills," Clifton said. "I think we have to challenge our students."
That happened on Friday, when Tyler Sanders placed his robot on the classroom floor and clapped twice in an attempt to make it go.
When the robot didn't respond with the intended behavior, "I think it hates me," said the seventh-grader, who went back to a PC to troubleshoot the program until he got the desired results.
With bells and whistles such as motion, light and sound sensors, the robots are limited only by the students' imaginations, Smith said.
But will they ever replace humans?
"Well, in certain instances they already have," she said.
That won't happen to Ashton Huey.
"Robots can help you, but without people they can't do anything," the eighth-grader said.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The coolest guy going is right here!
I also have a spot for a trip to South Andros arriving March 31 and departing April 10. My buddy that was supposed to go from the 31-7 bailed on me and now I'm going solo. If there's anybody that wants to go for even a portion of the 11 days (9 days of fishing) let me know. Since I have to pay a single supplement now, I'm even willing to kick in some money towards your trip since going as a double will save me a lot!
One spot left for each week.
We currently have 7 guests for each week, and can fit one more in.
Should be a fun two weeks, with some very cool people going.
Crooked Island Hosted Trip-2 spots left
We still have two spots left for each week on our hosted Crooked Island trips. Single anglers are welcome, and you'll get the double occupancy rates!
Crooked Island, Bahamas (March 17-24 & March 24-31, 2012)
Photogallery from last year's trips
On Crooked Island, we have found what we believe to be one of the best deals in the Bahamas. The bonefishing/flats fishing is excellent, and the shallow water reef program adds another dimension to the great flats fishing already offered.
The guides are great, and they work hard, often staying on the water for 10 hours. Their boats are top-notch. The lodging is also modern, clean and very comfortable, and you can watch the sun setting over the ocean every evening, not to mention you can catch jacks, snapper, grouper and barracuda right from shore. The food is also superb, and as fresh as you can get it. Lobster, wahoo, mutton snapper, grouper & conch are just some of the tasty dinners we'll enjoy.
The cost is $2485.00 per person for seven nights, six full days of guided fishing. (based on double occupancy) *Cost includes guides, beachfront villas, all meals & non-alcoholic drinks on Crooked Island, and airport transfers from Crooked island airport to the Lodge. *You pay for airfare to Crooked Island, one night's lodging, taxi & dinner in Nassau, tips, and alcohol, if desired.

4 killed in Emmaus apartment fire
EMMAUS, Pa. - A fire at an apartment building in Lehigh County has left four people dead, police said.
Smoke and flames could be seen for miles after the fire broke out just before noon Sunday at 36-38 S. 5th St. in Emmaus. The flames were so intense, firefighters were pulled out of the duplex for several hours.
"I made the decision, with the other chief officers, to pull everybody out -- possible collapse," said Dep. Chief Justin DeLong, Emmaus Fire Dept.
Witnesses and residents described hearing a small explosion as the home's windows blew out.
"There was nothing, and then it went from that to -- you heard the glass blow out and flames blaring out of the windows," said neighbor Barry Skriletz. "Smoke everywhere."
Investigators found four bodies inside the building, said Sgt. Todd Garloff, Easton Police Dept. Names and ages of the victims weren't immediately released.
It's believed the duplex contained five or six apartment units. Distraught residents are now getting help from the Red Cross. Brooke Woomer escaped just seconds before her apartment burned.
"The whole thing engulfed within minutes," she said. "It was just so surreal, and they weren't able to get a woman out because of how extreme the heat was."
"There was two other guys that went in with me," said Mike Sweeney. "We tried to go up the steps, but it was just engulfed in flames. We couldn't get up there."
DeLong said nothing in the apartments is salvageable.
"Every time I think about doing anything, I just know that everything that belongs to me is gone now," said resident Jaschell Walbert, who was not home when the fire broke out.
Walbert's roommate made it out just in time.
"I'm just thankful she got out," said Lilly Bortree, her mother. "You can replace things; you can't replace lives."
So far, authorities have not identified those who died.
The state fire marshal was on the scene, helping to look for a cause. DeLong said he does not believe the fire was suspicious.
Neighbors said the building had been a funeral home until the 1960s or 1970s when it was converted into apartments.
One of the displaced residents, Bobby Taylor, has been a cook at the Emmaus McDonald's for eight years. He has a disability, and it's believed his live-in girlfriend had one also--she perished in the fire.
The McDonald's at 1101 Chestnut St. is collecting donations for Billy--who not only lost his girlfriend, but everything he owned.
Lehigh County property records indicated the home is owned by Michael and Loretta Boyko of Macungie. 69 News was unable to reach them Sunday afternoon.Emmaus Fire Images
The Lehigh County coroner's office, Emmaus Police Department and Pa. State Police fire marshal are continuing the investigation.
The coroner's office said Monday that due to the condition of the bodies, positive identification will be made through dental records, if available, or DNA testing.
The names of the victims will be released after positive identification has been made, and families have been notified, the coroner said.
