City leaders: 'Stand up Charleston' to crimes in the community
By Natalie firstname.lastname@example.com
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) -- "Stand up Charleston." That's the message the city's leaders are getting out about the bloodshed in the community. The message comes on the heels of three recent violent killings.
"We've all seen the video of Marley Lion as he lay in his vehicle and read the stories, the brutal slaying of Maliek Byers and William Nelson III, and they have touched a chord in all of us that screams 'I must get involved,'" Charleston Mayor Joe Riley said.
Lion was gunned down in his car in a West Ashley parking lot early this month. Maliek Byers was shot and killed on Hanover Street on June 14, and William Nelson was killed in the Crosstown area on June 24.
Police Chief Greg Mullen says instead of blaming the police department following the tragic events, those in the community should also look within themselves for change.{}
"It is critical. The people that live in this community care more about this community than any government entity cares about it," Chief Mullen said. "Stand shoulder-to-shoulder beside us and move forward and pass some bills and help us with providing some information."
Chief Mullen says he knows there are members of the community who have information on the three most recent murders, including the Lion case. He hopes the initiative changes the vows of silence, the lack of communication and involvement.
The initiative announced by city leaders, including Mayor Riley, Chief Mullen and 9th Circuit Solicitor Scarlett Wilson will bring together a coalition of community leaders and residents to create specific action steps that are supposed to build active engagement and support.
"It might be talking to their neighbors. It might be handing out a flyer," initiative member Margaret Seidler said.{}"It might be calling the police when they see something suspicious. It's about being organized, having crime watch sessions."{}
Seidler spear-headed the initiative in West Ashley about two years ago. The city is now using it as a model for the rest of the city, according to council member Aubry Alexander.
Chief Mullen hopes people become involved and stop standing by as more and more violent crimes happen in the community. While he challenged the community to stand up, he too vowed the police department would be standing nearby.
"We are here. We are ready, and we are eager...to do everything in our power to stop violent crime and to put those who are responsible in the place they need to be, which is jail," Chief Mullen said.

Lincoln and Ocala Forest met Friday evening to determine the Florida Class 7A Region 1 District 1 Champion. To be honest, it was not supposed to be much of a contest. Lincoln is coming off of a 2010 4A State Championship (FHSAA redistricted following the 2010-2011 school year), and the Trojans had only dropped one game all year, a 3-point defeat to Georgia powerhouse Valdosta, the first game of the season. But Forest had other ideas.
The Wildcats drove the length of the field on their first possession to take a 7-0 lead over Lincoln. To paraphrase an old saying, that drive may have "awakened the sleeping giant." Lincoln countered on their next possession with a touchdown of their own. Forest did not go away easy in the first half, and looked to have Lincoln on their heels late in the second quarter. The Wildcats were five yards away from going to the half only trailing by 3 when a batted ball and interception propelled Lincoln to a field goal as time expired in the first half, making the score 20-7.
Lincoln's coach, Yusuf Shakir, must have had a spirited talk with his team at half, because the second half belonged to Lincoln. By the end of the third quarter, Lincoln had extended its lead to 41-7 ending all doubt about whether an upset could be in the making.
Forest added two scores in the fourth quarter to make the final 41-21.
Lincoln was paced by Great American Rivalry Series MVP # 22 Derrington Abnar.

A friend asks about a couple older cars that they are considering buying just to get back and forth to college. The first is a Van and the other is a Commuter Sedan. Neither of them have extremely high resale value which is good for them and the prices that the owners are asking are below NADA Book Value. The Van is going for $1000 and has about 125,000 miles and the Sedan is only $500 has just over 200,000 miles. They are asking which they should get and what they should look for when making the purchase.
Since this is a commuter vehicle the sedan that gets 27mpg vs the Van that gets about 19mpg is a better choice even though it has more miles. They expect to keep the vehicle about a year and when making this consideration you have to start with this thought that the Sedan for $500 is basically a throw away vehicle. They can probably get another 100,000 miles out of it but if they only get 25,000 then if something large breaks they can just put it up for sale and maybe get $300 back to put towards something else. There is always someone out there that will buy a used car for parts even if they don't need it for driving. They might need the seats or windshield or whatever and having a $200 non driving parts car is great for them.
I informed the buyer that they should offer $400 and see if the seller will come down a bit. You should always do this even if you think the price is fair the owner knows more about the car than you do and that extra $100 she saves can be put to good use by getting an oil change and cleaning the car up. In another How To I will go over what you should do to a new used car when you first get it but lets get to the checklist of things to look at when you are considering a new used car purchase.
Inspection Checklist For Used Cars
People do strange things to cars that they are trying to keep on the road for a few more miles so its important to go over the entire vehicle the best you can with the time and ability you have.
You will want to walk the car and look for problems and then take it for a test drive. When you first get there you want to start the vehicle and let it run so it is fully warmed up. You don't want a overheating problem to go unnoticed so let it run as you inspect the rest of the vehicle then take it for a pretty long test drive and see if it has good power and drives safe.
Things to check on your walk around
Check all the glass for chips and cracks and windows for operation
Check that all the doors, trunk and hood open and close easily
Check all the door locks
Turn the headlights to High Beam
Have Someone operate the turn signals and check them all
Check the Horn
Check the Wipers and Washer Pump
Check that all the tires are the same size and manufacturer
Check the tread of the tire for strange wear problems
Check the rubber boots on the Axels for tares
Check the Engine it should not be really dirty or oily
Check the date on the battery is less than 3 years old
Check the oil does not have metallic particles in it
Things to check on your Test Drive
Make sure the car is warmed up before you drive it
Test the brakes in forward and reverse with a hard stop
Drive the car in all the gears, Automatics use 1 & 2 gears
Make sure the car drives straight when you take your hand off the wheel
Listen for any clunking of the suspension when you start or stop
Make sure the car does not overheat run the engine over 15mins
Make sure the car stops straight when you brake
Make sure the power steering works and doesn't make noises
Things To Get With Your New Used Car
Make sure you get all the keys and you should get 2 keyfobs for the door locks/alarm
Never buy a car without a title if the owner says they will give you a bill of sale but not register the car to get a title just walk away from it unless you are buying a parts car but even then you risk having a stolen car or one with problems such as a bank lean.
Final Note
Buying a used car always has risks and when a car is older or has a lot of miles you can expect that there will be some problems you will need to fix.
In our friends case they can probably expect to put a couple hundred dollars into cleaning up and fixing small things but they should check the vehicle to make sure it is safe to drive and nothing major is wrong with it.
In the end a $500 car is less than the cost of a Lawn Tractor or Moped Scooter so you can't really complain even if it dies in a couple months. You take that risk but you should at least do some inspection of the vehicle to make sure you aren't buying a car that should be in the junkyard.
My first car cost me $75 and it could do burnouts for as long as you held the gas peddle down. It was a good car for the price and I even removed the engine to use it in another vehicle.
You can find decent deals and you may find a car that an owner just wants to upgrade and with our friend well she will be selling this car again in about a year and the next owner will have to do the same inspecting and repairs that she did.

Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria.
Vatican Radio:
The Catholic Bishop of Kafanchan Diocese, Joseph Bagobiri, has called for an effective synergy by all Christian denominations in the country to counter the systematic elimination of Christianity in the northern part of the country.
Bishop Bagobiri made the call when he received an official delegation of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) which visited him in Kafanchan. The delegation was in the diocese to commiserate with him; the entire Catholic faithful and the Christian community of southern Kaduna on the recent atrocities of Fulani Cattle herdsmen in the area, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of Christians and the destruction of property worth millions of Naira.

"I had just divorced, I went on tour with the kids, and I left Idol," she told reporters Monday, according to People. "All my security blankets were gone, and I was out there doing something I had never done before."
She did, however, lean on her family and boyfriend Casper Smart for support, adding that she felt "surrounded by love" during that time.
"I really grew," J.Lo went on. "My goal was not to come out the other side and just survive it but grow as a human being as well as an artist, and I felt I did. I learned a lot."
Speaking of growth, the "Hit the Floor" crooner admitted that she had come to terms with the fact that she prefers being in a relationship to being by herself.
And she's completely fine with that.
"I'm one of those people who does not like to be alone," she said. "I have no shame saying that at this point in my life. I think we have to own who we are."
That doesn't mean though, that she's ready to walk down the aisle with her 26-year-old dancer beau.
When asked if she wanted to get married again in the future, J.Lo said, "I don't know. We'll see. I don't know. You know, I've always believed in that institution. I believe in it, but it is difficult. I've had my challenges, but at the same time I believe in love, and I think that is the main thing."
Jennifer has already been married three times-to Ojani Noa in 1997, Cris Judd in 2001 and Marc Anthony in 2004.
She and Marc still aren't officially divorced, even though they split back in 2012.

Because of my failed juice fast, we had a boatload of produce in the house this past week– much more than usual.
Decided to put some of that to work for a fresh and lively cocktail!
Country Peach Cocktail
- 1/2 of a ripe peach, chopped
- 2 oz ginger vodka
- 1/2 oz simple syrup or agave nectar
- ice
- In a shaker, muddle or "smoosh" your chopped peach. I used the aft-end of a butter knife.
- Add ice, syrup, and ginger vodka; shake-a, shake-a, shake-a
- Pour (do not strain) your drink into a glass
- Enjoy!
Make your peach drink in a canning jar, like I did…
- In the bottom of your jar, muddle your peach.
- Add your ice cubes, vodka, and syrup.
- Screw on the lid and shake the whole she-bang.
- Unscrew the lid and serve.
This was my preferred method, because there were fewer dishes to wash.
Happy Cocktail Friday, everyone! I'll next be checking in from Napa!

Arfan Bhatti, the first person to be tried on the terrorist laws in Norway (he was declared not guilty of terrorism, eventually) is out of jail. And then he somehow failed to adhere to his daily mandatory check-in with the cops, and back in jail he went. Now he's out. Again. The Norwegian version of the NSA, the PST, admits that the arrest and imprisonment of the terrorist-alleged was a show of force against him, to make sure he stays on the straight and narrow (which he most likely won't, don't you know it), at least in the eight weeks he has to check in daily.
The PST, of course, is in its full rights to do this, and even though it might have been unfortunate that his lawyer apparently found out about the latest arrest through PST's Twitter page, that still doesn't change the facts.
Arfan Bhatti is most certainly a dangerous and unstable individual, having fired a barrage of rounds at a jewish place of worship, and plotted to bomb the US Embassy in Norway's capital Oslo. He has no business being out on the streets among law abiding citizens, and every one of these "shows of force" is wholeheartedly supported by SnallaBolaget.com.

Question about Samsung DLP HL-P5663W 56" TV
About every 5-15 minutes the sound on my Samsung 56" DLP makes a popping sound. It appears like the audio is fading out of HD-it gets quieter and the quality decreases-and goes back to analog. This happens while playing my Xbox as well. I have a DVR and all cables are hooked up accordingly. This happens on regular channels and while watching HD channels too. It sounds like the speaker is popping but awhile back I had a surround sound system hooked up, no popping sound. Now I don't have the surround sound, the problem seems to be getting worse.
Please help,
Posted by Tim_2420 on
Thanks for the suggestion! Last week I removed the back cover of the TV & cleaned as best I as could-getting rid of dust 7 debris. This helped briefly, but the popping noise recurred within a day. I then went to the internal audio menu function of the TV. There are 5 settings: Speech, Movie, Music, Custom, and Default. I modified these settings and it the TV has not popped since. I am not sure if that was the culprit but it is working for now. Thanks again
I have an RCA DLP 44" and I also have a popping issue ocasionally as well as what sounds like a secondary audio signal. Sometimes it does it sometimes it does not. It sounds like the audio signal is transmitting twice a good and a bad on top of each other. Very unusual I have never heard anything like this before.
I bought the TV from Tiger Direct as a refurbished unit but I am thinking of taking it back.
The "popping" sound could be electricity jumping from one place to another.An internal SHORT in a transistor, an internal OPEN in a resistor.Intermittent [sometimes it does,sometimes it dose not] arcing electronic parts.
Dust [metal filings,very fine hair that burns like a fuse] & dirt [anything metal], arcing (shorted) capacitors.Bad connections on ANY ground connector.
Possible:: your surround sound MASKED the popping sounds by acting like a FILTER.Which lets me to think that your problem is in the audio section.
Posted on Jun 28, 2008
I found a solution to the sound problem, which was causing popping and static sound from the speakers. hls4666w. This was also shutting down the audio after watching TV for some time. I place a heat sink on IC 987 part number stv8258DSX. This IC controls the sound and is overheating. The cause is unknown to me. Its easy to place a heat sink. Direction: cut the heat sink to size allowing room for a nylon nut. make as tall as possible. drill hole in center, but drilling only to its center, not through it.. Use nylon screw and nut (plastic). Insert the screw through the hole in the grill cover metal and than thread the nut to it. place the heat sink on top of the IC and place the grill cover back on aligning screw in the hole. (Don't forget to use thermo compound between the heat sink and IC). pull up on the screw while turning clockwise to tighten. I left the TV playing all night to the next morning and sound remain normal. I even turn on SRS sound mode.

PLease someone please record the video of medal ceremony, I can't wait to see Yuzuru happy face.

It's obviously not the point of my post. Even the crowd is tired of Patrick winning time after time with so many mistakes over an incredible and almost "perfect" performance. The judges are always right? Yeah, 9 for PE for Patrick and 8.6 for Daisuke. So fair.

I hope this thread doesn't get mean spirited, but I think we could debate fairly and kindly the results without bashing the skaters who, after all, don't judge themselves. I think my gut reaction without a rewatch, which often changes my mind, is that the placements were fair and the results were close, by which I mean - the top three, combining both short and long, were very close together and I could see the numbers being closer as a result. I can also imagine reasons to flip these results without accusing anyone of overt favortism or 'cheating.' Meaning, a different panel may have found a different result.
So, I only have gut reactions right now, and again gut reaction, I do think that Dai brought the most performance and interpretation of all three in both segments, and I do think that hands down, Chan has significantly higher skating skills, after that, I really need to read the protocols and rewatch to feel clearer on anything. I was so stunned by Hanyu that I didn't really take in his LP - i just jumped up and down and screamed.
So anyway, just looking forward to reading your analysis and hope we can learn from each others 'take' on the event!
ITA on every point. Incredibly well spoken!

We're trying to sum up three ints using a single + operator. This is part of a task from a course at the university, so please don't post any actual code. We'd just like to have some input, maybe an idea that leads us in the right direction.
Basically we're given three ints and are supposed to return two, that when summed up by +, return the value that int1+int2+int3 would have returned. Of course we're not allowed to use - either. Just all of the other bitfield ops and !. We've already tried several "algorithms" that, unsurprisingly, didn't quite cut it
In any case, a few things we tried (feel free to laugh at any point...):
- We used int1&int2 to find bits where both are 1, (where + would produce a carry bit), shift the result 1 up and merge (|) this with (int1|int2). Return this as result1 and do the same for int2&int3.Any suggestions? This part of the task doesn't give a lot of points, so it's supposed to be fairly easy when compared to something like log2(x) - which I found a lot easier than this one
This yielded relatively good results. In most cases there was one carry bit too much in the final result. This is probably due to the way we try to find the carry bits. It's flawed as each carry bit changes the positions of the ones following. We didn't take this into account (and cannot, we're limited to 16 ops)
- Tried to construct result1 with int1|(int2<<16) - in other words store int2 in the highword of our result. We then tried to construct result2 in a way that when summed up with result1, the effects of the shift cancel each other out. I guess it's appropriate to laugh at this point

cruising area is literally dark. very smoky everywhere. people mostly are with clothes on so not very easy to interact.
can be visited, but not as a primary place in Hamburg.
Nice atmosphere, most people seem to already know each other , but thats everywhere in hamburg. Friday night was many guys there, til it started to close around 7 am
It seems the urinals in the toilet r the most popular cruising area, if u just wanna take a piss, beware! If u get horny, take a piss :p !

ANOTHER Aintree slips past with yet another failure to land the big winner.
Having said that, if you had given me another 20 chances I still couldn't have picked Auroras Encore.
Since Sue Smith's 11-year-old finished second to Merigo in last year's Scottish National at Ayr, his form figures hardly made you reach for your wedge.
Unseated Ryan Mania at Perth, beaten 68l at Market Rasen, pulled up at Wetherby, beaten 24l back there in December, beaten 46l at Warwick, fell at Doncaster in February, hammered 53l at Kelso in March, then bingo!
My pre-race summation of the gelding's chances can be described as "best avoided". But Galashiels-born Mania was brilliant on his Aintree debut and in an example of the highs and lows of this game, he came within millimetres of an extremely serious injury at Hexham the following day.
I wish Ryan well in his recovery and hope he's back in the saddle soon, possibly for a historic National double at Ayr.
The three days in Liverpool were tremendous and you really must put it on your 50 things to do before your state funeral, paid for by the public of course.
Despite almost being arrested by two of Liverpool's finest on quad bikes at the Canal Turn while walking the course on Thursday morning (I can only imagine they thought I was an animal rights terrorist but I assure you I had a shower that morning) I have nothing but praise for the way the whole show was run. Take a bow Aintree.
With all the horses and jockeys coming home safe, and the world looking on, Aintree can be proud of the way they set out the course and fences. And if any halfwit suggests they've made it too easy I'll droon them in Becher's Brook.
I'm looking forward to Ayr next Saturday and hopefully can break my National duck north of the border, if not south.
? I was delighted to hear of Perth chief Sam Morshead's inspiring Racing Ahead initiative. Set up in conjunction with the local Maggie's Caring Centre, Ninewells Hospital in Dundee and Perth Royal Infirmary, it offers cancer patients a day at the races with free hospitality.
Musselburgh and Hamilton are already on board while Kelso and Ayr are "looking at it with enthusiasm".
Sam told me: "I am delighted to help lessen people's suffering and give them an enjoyable day out with their families away from the stress and worry. I hope this initiative will spread to all UK racecourses."

London based trio The Wave Pictures - Jonny Helm (drums), Dave Tattersall (guitar & vocals) and Franic Rozycki (bass) - return with their brand new album 'Bamboo Diner In The Rain' on Moshi Moshi.
Following on from last year's Billy Childish collaboration 'Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon' and their recent acoustic record 'A Season In Hull', 'Bamboo Diner In The Rain' sees The Wave Pictures battling against the robot music apocalypse.
The new album is a bluesy, boozy love letter to the guitar, filled with American Primitive instrumentals, John Lee Hooker chugs and Link Wray style minor-key surf music. As songwriter and guitarist Dave Tattersall explains, "This album is set in the Bamboo Diner of my dreams, with rain beating on the windows and a jukebox stocked with blues. This is the most personal album I've made so far. In fact, that's the whole idea of the band, to become more and more authentically ourselves on record. To grow inwards. Like everything on this dark and strange little album. It's not robot music."

The best Espresso machine out there.. in a touch of a button you get the best tasting espressos, cappuccinos & lattes. Froths milk like ive never seen before.. automatically. No hard work & no mess :)
We have this machine for a couple of years already and it works great! With a simple button, we can make an Espresso, Lungo, Cappuccino or a Latte Macchiato with fresh milk. They also have limited edition flavour each season (and those flavour once they sold out, you cannot buy them any more). We are close by to the physical shop of Nespresso and you can try their different flavours at their shop before you buy the capsules. We really glad that we bought this machine!

Sweet and salty. Light and fluffy. Ah, the perfect kettle corn.
I previously wrote a post about how to make microwave popcorn in a brown paper bag. I tested out all sorts of different ways to make popcorn in a brown paper bag in the microwave, and recommended what worked best.
Here was my new quest: Can I make kettle corn in a brown paper bag in the microwave? The perfect mix of slightly sweet, slightly salty popcorn?
Many trials later, I've got it:
The best, healthiest, kettle corn that you can make in a brown paper bag in the microwave.
The big draw of making popcorn in a brown paper lunch bag is 1. less money, and 2. fewer chemicals than standard microwave popcorn. Not less money and chemicals than hot air or stove top, but less than purchased microwave popcorn bags.
Before you try this, you should know that the USDA lists "brown paper bags and newspapers" under their "not safe to use in the microwave" section. They do not give a reason; however, they recommend using food-safe bags only. I don't know whether it is because brown paper bags are made of paper and thus flammable, or because they are made of recycled fibres in many cases, or other reasons.
Apparently you can buy food-safe microwave bags, but the following description is for brown paper lunch bags:
I tested a few different types and amounts of sugar and salt, then after getting that balance right, realized it needed a bit of flavour. Vanilla.
The result was a very light-tasting sweet and salty popcorn, that required very little oil and salt. A perfect balance of taste without all the unhealthy stuff.
Here's what worked for me.
1/2 tsp oil (I used olive oil)
1/2 tsp vanilla (I used real vanilla extract, not artificial)
1/4 tsp salt (*finely ground salt, or popcorn salt, such as Morton Popcorn Salt)
1 and 1/2 tsp icing sugar (confectioner's sugar)
Stir in 1/4 cup popcorn kernels (any kind will do)
Stir with a spoon until everything is well-mixed. Pour into a brown paper bag. Fold the bag over 2 to 3 times, and place upright in the microwave.
Microwave until popping slows down a couple pops per second.
Everyone's microwave is different, and will require a different amount of time. I have a 1200W microwave, and I cooked it for 1 minute and 25 seconds.
Monitor it closely, until you figure out the timing with your microwave.
Pour the popcorn into a bowl when it is still warm.
* Finely ground salt can be achieved two ways: 1. grind your own salt fine (which is what I did), or 2. purchase finely ground popcorn salt, such as Morton Popcorn Salt. You can try this with regular salt, but the salty coating isn't as even.

3 November 2016
Clashes between rival cult groups in Ilorin, Kwara state capital, has led to the brutal killing of not less than four persons suspected of having links with the factions involved.
The clashes happened between Monday, October 31 and Wednesday, November 2 and police have confirmed some of the killings while Kwara state police command spokesperson Ajayi Okasanmi says the force is awaiting more information on other deaths in the clashes.
According to Leadership newspaper, the clashes first occurred on Monday, October 31 night in Gaa-Akanbi area of the metropolis when suspected rival cult members gruesomely murdered a boy in his 20s.
Reports says that the clash thereafter spread to Ipata Market and Kankatu areas of the metropolis on Tuesday, November 1 where two persons were killed by suspected cultists.
Another man in his 30s who was preparing for work on Wednesday was hacked down by men suspected to be cult members in Odoota area of the metropolis who struck between 10am and 11am.

Dogwoods and redbuds blooming, pelagics arriving in our waters….all of nature agrees that spring has arrived.
Here in Florida, we don't really have a season with weather nasty enough to prohibit fishing. It's possible to catch fish here every day of the year. Still, while we might not suffer the same degree of 'cabin fever' as do anglers to our distant north, we certainly see a lot more participation in the sport when ideal weather—weather like this—arrives.
One favorite only present when the water warms sufficiently is the mackerel. And good catches of both the 'Spanish' and 'king' varieties continue to come from multiple gulf ports.
Richard and Diane McDavid went out of Suwannee Sunday and headed offshore to confirm firsthand the mackerel stories they had heard. The Lake City couple waited until the tide was up, launching late in the morning. They headed straight to Suwannee's most dependable mackerel grounds…an area known as Spotty Bottom…where they tried trolling Spanish sardines on dusters. There was too much floating grass, though, to make trolling work.
Richard went to a grassy-bottomed spot and, with Sabiki rigs, caught blue runners and herring. They took the live baits to a dropoff they had found earlier in 19 feet of water. There, they freelined a live threadfin. In short order, a 3-pound mackerel had it. After boating the fish, the McDavids repeated the process on another pass. The next herring produced another strike—except that this fish was a good bit larger. After circling the boat one and a half times, Diane had the 20-pound king within gaffing range for Richard.
McDavid reports the water temperature Sunday was still cool at 70.2 degrees, and the bait schools were not at the surface. But the macks were obviously present.
Also on Sunday, Mike Dumas and Rick Rufo went out of Suwannee. Their target was redfish, but just as the red bite was starting to pick up, the wind died. When the wind died, the scourge of the salt marsh came out. And, although the reds were biting, the hungry, swarming sand gnats were just "too bad to stay". The men had to go…and they decided to run west to escape the torture. On Hedemon Reef, Dumas and Rufo stopped to troll spoons and jigs. And in the wide-open, insect-free spaces, they started having fun again. Eighteen nice-sized Spanish macks were in the fish box when Mike decided to break out his "straw rig", made with drinking straws. With it, he added a 30-inch king mackerel to the bag. Mike summed up the day: "Everything was biting…but the sand gnats were biting best".
Gainesville Capt. Joe Richard fished out of Steinhatchee's Rocky Creek Tuesday with the Whinnen party from Ocala. On the perfect, cool morning, the anglers were surprised to see no other boats fishing. They cast Rapala X Raps and spoons on the deeper grass flats to haul in around 40 trout. The Ocala fishers took a dozen nice ones home.
The Salty Gators Inshore Tournament held Saturday featured an unusual format that allowed participants to fish from ports of their choice, and to count fish too large to enter in traditional contests. Anglers entered in the photographed-catch tourney agreed that the bite was a bit 'off' in the full moon/cold front conditions, but the 21 teams entered made some fine catches just the same. Fishing near Yankeetown from a kayak, the winning Salty Minded team of David McDonald and Dan Staub landed a 31.5-inch redfish and a 17.5-inch trout for 49 points. The second-place Chase-N-Fish team, Chase Norwood and Brett Molzen, fished much farther north, where they took a 26 inch red and an 18-inch trout for 44 points. Jeff Perry and Toby Sorrels were very close behind them with a 26 inch red and a 17.5 inch trout for 43.5 points.
Even though low water levels have made access challenging on some area lakes, the just-passed full moon produced fine panfish catches. Both Orange and Lochloosa produced especially impressive bags of bream. Larry and Patricia Ann Retherford launched Wednesday at Marjorie Rawlings Park and trolling-motored through the shallow access canal out to Orange Lake. The Port St. Joe couple fished crickets and grass shrimp around islands of vegetation to pull in a 50-fish mix of bluegill, warmouth, and speckled perch. They considered about half of that total large enough to keep.

What's in the box?
We all know that with awnings, they are great most of the time for catching the sun, however there are always times when the sun is too low for the awning to provide any shelter. Well, here is a stylish solution for creating shade in late evening, autumn, or any low sun situations. Our side shades are quick to put up, and easy to move around your awning with our simple clip-on system.
Our side shades are easy to move along your awning, depending on where you need the shade to be. The material is made from polyester, which means it is tough and durable, making it perfect for a side shade. They are also waterproof, rot resistant, and have a UPF 50+ fabric that blocks over 98% of harmful rays, which means they are great when it comes to surviving our unpredictable British weather.
GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre, and measures the weight of the fabric to give an indication of its thickness. The higher the GSM, the thicker the fabric.
Please note: Due to yarn dyed production techniques, the fabric of our replacement awning covers, and different fabric products may differ in colour slightly. We make every effort to ensure that the colours match as closely as possible, however, this is not always possible.

Kithmas Noms #1
Honeycomb Whisky Mocha / Chocolate
(All Outlets)
If we were to pick an item that best encapsulates the essence of 'warm and fuzzy in the tums', it will have to be the Honeycomb Whisky Mocha. No doubt.
Comprising a hearty concoction of house made honeycomb (yes we make them in-house!), fresh cream, cocoa, mocha / chocolate and the oh-so-delightful shot of tums warming Whisky, this is the festive drink to die for.
What we're missing now, is some snow and a thick fur coat.
Till then, we're happy seeking solace in our new found favourite festive drink.
You have to try it.
Kithmas Noms #2
(Park Mall and Sentosa)
You know what they say about messy dishes tasting the best? This is the epitome of that.
The star of the show is the crab meat patty – a substantial centrepiece derived by compacting chunks of real, fresh crab meat together.
Accompanied by roasted tomatoes, crunchy greens, corn quinoa and our favourite crushed avocadoes, this is exactly how everyone should start their Christmas day, everyday.
Our favourite part? Breaking those huge, fluffy soft poached eggs buried under the creamy hollandaise. Watch as the yolk make its way slowly down the crab meat mountain before fusing with the avocados below.
Next, blend everything together into a delectable mess before sliding a spoonful into your mouth. Feels like Christmas already?

Every feast begins with a starter to warm the table and keep tums of early birds satisfied before the rest of the table arrives.
Meet, the Black Mussels. Fresh french mussels drenched in a tangy tomato and white wine broth that is sure to leave your taste buds pleading for more. Garlic toasts and crunchy greens are also included to provide the canvas you need to wash them all down.
All you need to do, is savour them with a few friends over a good conversation or two. And maybe a glass of fine wine too. Cheers!
Kithmas Noms #4
(Park Mall)
Hands up if you're like us – big time fans of popular local favourites, the kong bak (braised pork belly) and kiam chye (salted preserved vegetable).
Imagine the excitement when this pizza, complete with our favourite house made sambal chilli sauce, showed up. The love is instant.
Along with usual suspects such as mozzarella, scamorza, baby spinach, roma tomatoes and crispy parmesan pieces, this palate pleasing, Instagram-worthy dish is definitely one of those that can evoke a medley of mmms and aahhs across the table.
What's even better? Put this on the table with a few jugs of beer and a round of happy people. It's gonna be shiok.
Kithmas Noms #5
(Sentosa Cove)
Can't decide if you should go with meat, seafood or stick to your regular salad bowl? We'd say, have them all!
Beef & Reef packs three awesome meals in one exquisite dish, featuring:
- Beef tenderloin with red wine and blueberry sauce
- Grilled king prawns with garlic, chilli, sundried tomatoes and olives
- Roasted potatoes and baby vegetables
This mini three-course meal is best enjoyed with a glass of chilled indie wine against a picturesque backdrop of the charming marina. Exactly how we'd love to spend our festive holidays.
Kithmas Noms #6
(Robertson Quay)
If you've been to Kith, you would probably have met Better than Benny, one of our more popular breakfast items in the house.
Well Benny's in the festive mood right now, dressed up and all in an assortment of turkey ham, grilled tomatoes, mixed greens, poached eggs, hollandaise and sourdough toasts.
Don't forget to say hi to Kithmas Benny the next time you pop by Robertson Quay!
Kithmas Noms #7
Chestnut Tart
(Park Mall and Sentosa)
The last thing we need after a monstrous feast is a dessert that is over the top.
Light and aromatic, the Chestnut Tart silently complements any big meal, leaving your palate nicely refreshed and aptly satisfied.
Encased in the buttery tart base is a creamy chestnut core resting on a bed of rich granola crumble, completed by a layer of luscious vanilla cream made to amplify the taste profile of this mild, delightful pastry.
It's so pleasant we could all have one entire tart to ourselves. It's that good.
More food, more value, more festive cheer. Exactly how we love to spend our holidays, and what these Kithmas bundles are made for.

Amendment 1 (Tennessee) – Lessons Learned
Now that the vote is in, there are important lessons to be learned, not just in Tennessee, but nationally as well.
Lessons Learned:
1. Until we change public opinion, Amendment 1 (along with the anticipated ensuing regulations) are about as much as we can hope to accomplish with our current strategy. An outright ban would not have passed.
Voters believe that abortion is evil enough to be regulated, but not evil enough to be banned. Americans will not tolerate government intrusion into matters of personal morality, unless there is extreme justification for that intrusion … and they don't understand how extremely evil abortion really is.
2. In order for the public to demand protection for every human person, we have to convince millions of American voters that abortion is not just evil, but so evil that it ought to be against the law.
The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), along with NRLC affiliates and others in the movement, are trying to end abortion by mobilizing public opinion as it currently exists. The results of Amendment 1 in Tennessee and initiatives in other states demonstrate that this will never work.
Unfortunately, they have nothing in place that even begins to reshape public opinion, not at the level necessary to challenge the status quo.
3. In order to reshape public opinion, we must force millions of ignorant and apathetic Americans to see the facts they are desperate to avoid.
They are apathetic because they are ignorant of the facts, and …
… they are ignorant because they are apathetic.
They don't read our stuff. They don't come to our talks and debates. They avoid new information.
We have to go to them, they will not come to us. Our methods must be non-consentual.
With the average American, we get maybe 3 seconds to prove that abortion is so evil that it ought to be against the law.
This is the same problem faced by Wilberforce, Clarkson, King, Hine, and other reformers who came before. They all solved the problem the same way … by using horrifying pictures to engage citizens who were desperate to avoid the truth … after years of trying what didn't work.
4. We have a long way to go. Let's get started.

For the past number of years I have been searching for ways to create an income in what might be considered unconventional ways.
I come from a very conservative, science-y background (I'm a Medical Laboratory Technologist who works, conventionally, in Healthcare IT implementing computer systems…yawn, right?) but I am intrigued by all the ways that people make money. In my travels I have met people creating a life in ways that I could never have imagined; creating and selling Photoshop brochure templates, buying and selling currency, running entire brick-and-mortar companies remotely, creating training programs based on their professional background, house-sitting, geo-arbitrage (the act of buying something cheaply in one country and selling it in a more expensive country)…almost anything. I always ask new people I meet how they are creating an income and I'm almost always surprised.
That's how I found out about affiliate niche sites; I met people who were doing them and was intrigued. I like the technical, analytically parts of it (hello, science background!), I learn a lot while researching topics, and seeing money coming in with minimal work just simply amazes me.
It's funny, though, how when you're in something you don't realize that not everyone knows about it. Whenever I tell people about my sites, and how much money they make, it's always the same look and the 'how-on-earth-do-you-do-that' amazement. Here are the five questions I get asked most often:
1. What IS an Affiliate Niche Site?
An affiliate niche site (or niche affiliate site) is a site built around a single topic (or niche) and that drives traffic to an on-line product for sale for which you receive a commission on every sale.
You may already use affiliate marketing on your blog. If you write a post about the long road trip your family did last summer, you might include an affiliate link to the car seat that kept your 3-year-old content and safe for the whole trip (I'm obviously not a parent…seriously, content…for the whole trip?!). It is highly unlikely that anyone is going to Google 'child car seat' and end up on your site; you rely on readers who are coming to read about you and might be interested in products you promote. This can work, of course, but you need a large audience who will continually click and buy in order to make a decent income.
Niche sites work a tiny bit differently. Instead of writing and trying to attract readers to our witty repartee, we look to see where the traffic is, what they are searching for, and then build a site that speaks directly to what they are looking for.
I liken it to holding up an old-fashioned signpost.
I can create a sign (blog post) that reads 'child car seat' and hold it up right outside my house. Yes, maybe a few people would drive by who are interested in car seats and they may stop and have a look. But most people driving by aren't really looking for a car seat; they're out on a Sunday drive, taking the back roads and stopping at anything that might be interesting.
On the other hand, I can take that sign and find the nearest highway where I know all the parents are driving. If I hold my sign up here I have a MUCH better chance of reaching exactly the people who would be interested in my product. If that highway isn't littered with signs from other car seat companies, then I have an even better chance of attracting the right people. If my sign looks professional, and contains interesting and relevant information, then I have another advantage and it's likely that people actually get out of their cars and talk to me about the car seats I'm selling.
This is a niche site; built around a single topic (car seats), that stands in the middle of traffic (the terms people are searching), contains interesting and relevant information (posts about car seats and safety), and drives that traffic to an on-line product for sale (car seats on Amazon). Easy peasy.
2. CAN you Make Money With Affiliate Niche Sites?
Yes! If you find the right niche to target, build a site that attracts traffic, and wait for it to mature, you CAN make money. One of my sites currently makes $200USD per month (which is like $873CAD, right?!).
The key is finding the right niche to target; one with enough traffic that people are looking for what you're offering, yet not so much competition that you could never rank in Google for it. If you use the right metrics, and sift through all the chaff, you can find one that meets both criteria – high traffic and low competition. Gold!
3. Is it REALLY Passive Income?
Yes. And no.
Yes in that, once the research has been done, the products chosen, and the site created, you really just have to wait for the traffic to come. Once they start coming, clicking, and buying, then yes it is passive. I created site that makes $200USD/month in Jan 2015 and have made only one 5-minute tweak to it in the past year. I seriously do NOTHING to the site and it keeps paying out.
No, in that you have to do the work up front. Researching, finding products, and creating the site takes about 70-80 hours but, once that work is done, you're done. It's all passive from there on out.
4. Do You Need to Know a Lot of Technical STUFF to Build Niche Affiliate Sites?
No, not really. If you already have a blog, or website, then you likely have all the technical knowledge that you need. The sites are usually pretty basic – between 6 and 8 pages – and with a few plugins to activate for maximum exposure. If you can write, edit, and publish a post then you can probably build an affiliate niche site.
The hard bits might be finding the niche (hint: it's a numbers game…I use Excel to keep track of it all), setting up the initial WordPress site and generating the affiliate links BUT if you keep it simple even these pieces are not that difficult.
5. Is this LEGAL?
Yes, it's completely and totally legal. Niche sites are not against the law nor are they against Google's terms of service. You're probably using affiliate marketing on your blog already…affiliate niche sites are just the next step. You're simply providing a way for consumers to find a product that they are already searching for. Nothing illegal about that.

The Angels, trying to bolster an overworked bullpen, called up relief pitcher Ryan Mattheus from triple-A Salt Lake City on Friday.
Mattheus had a 2.84 earned-run average with one save in 11 appearances for Salt Lake City. Angels closer Huston Street and setup man Joe Smith have pitched in the last three games.
"We have a bullpen we're trying to keep together," Angels Manager Mike Scioscia said. A lot of these guys have pitched a lot. Mattheus gives us a little more depth there."
Cam Bedrosian, who has a 2.19 ERA in seven games for Salt Lake City, pitched two innings Thursday, as Scioscia opted for Mattheus.
"Ryan is throwing the ball well," Scioscia said. "He had one bad inning out there, other than that he's been good. His stuff showed well in the spring. We'll see if he can help us."

It could possibly happen between Mercedes and Red Bull.
Two mega-teams swapping World Champions? Rare, yes. Impossible, no. We seem to be heading in a direction that might see Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton jump ship and swap rides in the somewhat near future. It's a bit of a stretch, I know.
You're not buying it? Well I'm sure, like the rest of us, you also thought Andre Lotterer wouldn't be racing in the Belgian GP this weekend either, right? This is Formula One where bizarre is the norm and normality is bizarre.
How we got here
Let me take you through how this deal has all unfolded. Sebastian Vettel is a four-time World Champion who is getting his you know what handed to him by his young teammate Daniel Ricciardo. The World Championship isn't even a distant dream for him with the impeccable performance Mercedes has been enjoying thus far.
In July, Dr. Helmut Marko told the media that Red Bull's rivals are targeting Vettel, more specifically, Mercedes. Around the same time, Hamilton assured Mercedes that he is not looking elsewhere. Niki Lauda was also adamant that the team hadn't talked with Vettel at any time.
If stars mean titles, then stars are something great
Sebastian Vettel
Lauda believed that the quadruple World Champion was just playing 'contract poker' when Vettel dropped the head-turning statement, "If stars mean titles, then stars are something great."
Marko however, told reporters that he felt Vettel was testing the waters and seeing what's out there, saying one day later, "Niki has three opinions: one in the morning, one at noon and one in the evening."
Hamilton's tone suddenly changed following the Hungarian GP when Mercedes told him to move over for his German teammate. A defiant Hamilton refused. On July 28th, it emerged that Hamilton had requested a 90 million Euro contract extension with the team, a price substantially larger than what his championship leading teammate got with his extension mind you. Following the team orders controversy in Budapest, Hamilton's defiance was backed by Red Bull's Christian Horner. And let's not forget what went down in Monaco...
Contract poker or something else?
Yes, it's possible all of them are lying through their teeth and that all this he said, she said is just a bunch of 'contract poker' as Niki calls it, but a swap between these two wouldn't be all that surprising really. Vettel isn't happy at Red Bull. The car doesn't agree with him, his teammate is constantly eclipsing him in races, and he's taken a lot of heat from critics for his inability to win with anything less than a perfect situation.
Hamilton is not happy at Mercedes either. He has a tense relationship with Robserg, who some, including Hamilton to a point, believe is being favored by the team due to their shared nationality. His disgust when losing to Rosberg is always visibly apparent on the podium and they've traded verbal jabs on numerous occasions in the past; not the kind of teammate situation any organization wants. When you have a situation where there's two number one drivers, clashes are imminent and unavoidable. Hamilton's car also seems to be less reliable than Rosberg's, which is most likely just bad luck, but the imaginative minds of those in and around the sport may lead Lewis to think otherwise.
Although the prospect of two German drivers in a German team seems interesting, from a marketing standpoint, it's not what you want when hoping to expand your brand internationally. It was also revealed earlier this year that Red Bull considered signing Hamilton as Vettel's new teammate this season, before settling on Ricciardo. Those negotiations fell apart however.
This could very well be something, will probably end up being nothing, but maybe, just maybe...

Start-up site takes sting out of stags and hens
Forget the 'L' plates and bunny ears – two young entrepreneurs from Northern Ireland have invested a six-figure sum into developing a new brand aiming to tap into the £5m hen and stag party market in the UK.
Jonathan Gallagher (28) from Co Fermanagh, and his Co Down business partner Sean Carty (28) have set up twin sites for both men and women after learning how the cost of such festivities has rocketed by 50-70% in the past five years.
Back in 2008, the average stag do cost just £91 while today it averages £195, providing a very attractive market opportunity for Northern Ireland's leisure and hospitality operators.
Never mind bars in eastern Europe or suffering hangover hell in Vegas, HenorStag.com and StagorHen.com are designed to show party organisers the entertainment, accommodation and activity options available across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The new venture was part-funded by South West Action for Rural Development (SWARD) and allows the organiser to easily uncover businesses and offers that they may never have known existed.
The site's main features include a 'party planner' which integrates with Facebook, content and images on party hotspots, hundreds of hen and stag-friendly providers, an ideas section and a party store.
Mr Gallagher said that the site will make things much easier for long-suffering pals of the bride and groom.
"For years now, the hen and stag industry has been operating behind closed doors with consumers finding it difficult to know exactly where to stay, play, dine or party," he said. "They have been left with no option but to use a package company to organise their trips. HenorStag.com is set to change all that for the better."
Mr Carty added: "The real beauty of HenorStag.com is that everything is booked directly with the destinations and businesses of your choice, meaning zero commission and a better value hen or stag party for everyone."

PETALING JAYA: Plans to rename the national anthem to Malaysiaku have been scrapped as Cabinet ministers have opted to retain the original Negaraku.
A senior official of the Information Ministry confirmed this, saying, "The Cabinet decided it was wise to stick to the original name."
He also said there would not be much changes to the anthem.
The ministers made the final decision at its meeting yesterday after listening to several variations of the song submitted by the RTM orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra and the police and army orchestras.
"The only change, if you can consider it as such, is that the pace of the song will be slightly slower than the 1992 version which was done in march style," said the source.
"In fact, the 'new arrangement' sounds almost like the 1957 version. The only difference is in the last line - Raja kita, selamat bertakhta - which will end in a crescendo," he said.
"I think everyone will be happy after they have listened to it. And I can assure you there will be no reason to sensationalise the issue," he said.
Plans to unveil a new version of Malaysia's national anthem came about following complaints that the 1992 upbeat version failed to induce patriotic feelings among Malaysians.
However, the suggestion received mixed response from Malaysians who felt that the original Negaraku should be retained.
Some even wrote to newspapers and called radio stations to protest against any changes to the anthem.
The ministry plans to air the revised anthem at the stroke of midnight on Aug 31.
Negaraku has been the national anthem since 1957, being chosen by the first prime minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, from more than 500 contenders.
The tune is based on the state anthem of Perak, which borrowed its melody from an old Malay song of the 1930s, Terang Bulan.
History has it that Terang Bulan (Bright Moon) was a popular song from the island of Mahe in the Seychelles, where a former Perak sultan was exiled by the British.
A French band used to play the tune on the island.
The song was later given Malay lyrics and made into a love ballad.
Though there are no records of the origins of the melody, it is believed that the real composer was Pierre Jean de Beranger, a well-known 19th century French poet and composer.

Equine Industry Advertising as a Career
Have you ever considered the idea of promoting advertising services? Perhaps those specifically within the equine industry? Equine industry advertising. You may otherwise consider this as marketing in the equine industry.
Whatever way you want to look at it, horse businesses can make use of your services. The equine industry advertising expert will know horses and what horse people want. They will know how to best promote a product. They will have skills (or have access to people) in the areas of:
- Graphic design
- Wordsmith / copy writing
- Ad layout design
Ideally they would have access to avenues to promote products and services within the horse industry. This could be through magazines, social media, online horse websites, local stock feed stores. The list goes on!
If you have a passion for advertising and know horses, then this may be an area worth pursuing. If you want to find out a little bit more about marketing within the equine industry, read one of the latest profiles on Equus Education. Profile On: Sophie Barrington, Archer Creative.
Within the equine world, many set ups are businesses. Whether it be breeding, nutrition, riding, racing, competition or something else horse related, all can benefit from good business marketing. Cue equine industry advertising. As long as you promote your niche well, you should look forward to picking up equine related clients. This should be easy as an effective marketer!
As with many businesses, as you gain clients and keep them happy, they will refer you on to their connections. Even if starting out part time, it would be quite possible to be working in the horse industry (and gaining contacts) and to pick up some casual marketing work through these contacts. Working in the industry in another way – e.g. as a stable hand – can help clients to recognise you in the industry. They will be more inclined to employ your services then.
"The horse moved like a dancer, which is not surprising. A horse is a beautiful animal, but it is perhaps most remarkable because he moves as if he always hears music." – Mark Helprin, A Winter's Tale
