Today's entry is going to be a bit off-topic (meaning, it is not game related), but will still be fun for the Star Wars fans. I have been watching some episodes of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series (2008) lately, and was surprised in the first one by the nimbleness of Yoda, depicted above. (This picture for a change has not been created by me, it's picked from the internet somewhere and looks similar to the Yoda of this series.) His fighting was hilarious and reminded me of a certain furry tree-animal. Watch an excerpt of the episode below and you'll understand what I mean!
Yoda fun starting at 0:43.
You can imagine how surprised I was when I found on the all knowing source of wisdom called the internet that my suspicions were true all along. Without any doubt, Yoda has been trained by jedi squirrel elite forces!
Isn't that just brilliant?

Open source customization and integration services outfit Linux Box has recently launched Enkive, an email management suite designed to archive emails from the moment they're received or sent, as opposed to waiting until the sender chooses to back up their emails.
The organization says that its software addresses issues of regulatory compliance and also offers some litigation support. As well as reducing storage costs by eliminating redundant messages, it also has an advanced search option that searches attachments too.
Enkive's systematic approach reconstructs messages in the search and retrieval process -- using the body of the message and its attachments -- instead of relying on the traditional method of only checking text and metadata information such as sender, dates, recipient and subject. Archived content can then be encrypted (at a company's discretion) and is only accessible to authorized users.
"Even if compliance is not a key requirement, email activity represents a record of organizational communications that should be archived and made retrievable," said Elizabeth Ziph, CEO of The Linux Box."We developed Enkive in response to client requests for an email archiving system with more dynamic management and security features than was currently available. Open source archiving systems typically lack the ability to retain email based on policies that are time and content dependent. Enkive allows organizational decision makers to define and implement retention and retrieval policies to determine what to keep and what to purge."
Enkive uses the Alfresco open source as a framework for document/record management and has been in beta testing with a number of clients for the past couple of months. The commercial version is expected soon.

Greatest Slam Dunk Contest Champion- Part One
I'm sick of hearing about the damn strike, as if anything is going to be ironed out anytime soon. The season probably isn't going to happen. So instead of focusing on an upcoming season that probably won't happen, let's look back at some historical NBA stuff that has happened. Call it reflecting, call it contemplating, call it chilling out- But let's do it, baby. Specifically about the NBA Slam Dunk Contest; who is the greatest champion of all time? The contest started in 1984 and there have been 26 total contests and 20 men have walked away with the title.Read More

I noticed Ashley's tribute to Brian Thomas of two years ago but decided that this deserves its own new topic. The nonsense from ICR just never ends. I saw this in one of his footnotes at http://www.icr.org/article/9518/
"For example, geologist John Reed listed these seven revealing problems with biostratigraphy in his 2013 book Rocks Aren't Clocks. Powder Springs, GA: Creation Book Publishers, 127:
1) This method depends on evolution. Any uncertainty about evolution translates into uncertainty about biostratigraphy.
2) Even if evolution is true, biostratigraphy depends on the rocks showing a representative record of evolutionary progress.
3) The fossil record as we know it does not show intermediate or transitional forms that show the evolutionary steps.
4) Using evolution to arrange the fossils and then claiming that the order of the fossils proves evolution is circular reasoning.
5) Evidence of catastrophic deposition implies the absence of 'paleoenvironments' which are the basis of the calim that the rocks show historically-reliable snapshots of the past.
6) Living fossils, such as the coelacanth, contradict evolutionary biostratigraphy.
7) The new practice of setting age boundaries by Global Stratotype Section and Points, or 'GSSPs' shows a lack of faith in conventional biostratigraphy."
One doesn't have to be a geologist or paleontologist to see through these inane and illogical blubberings. My personal favorite is Number 4 is a reminder that someone needs to sit down with these Young Earth Creationists and explain to them the meaning of "circular reasoning" (and what isn't circular reasoning.) (Obviously, the "arrangement" of the fossils is determined within which strata we find them! John Reed makes it sounds like some "evolutionist" arbitrarily assigned them. Sheesh.)

A second person was charged Friday with first-degree murder in the death of a Graham man whose body was found March 29 on farmland in northern Alamance County.
Marteese Rasheed Martin, 25, of Hall Avenue, Burlington, was charged Friday afternoon by the Alamance County Sheriff�s Office with the first degree murder of 47-year-old Kenneth Joel Clapp, according to warrants.
The arrest took place on Hall Avenue, said sheriff�s office spokesman Randy Jones.
�The investigation is still ongoing,� he said.
Martin�s arrest comes a week after Cameron Romero Graves, 24, of Mill Street, Graham, turned himself in to the county authorities in connection to Clapp�s murder.
Graves, a validated gang member, arrived at Alamance County Sheriff�s Office at around 5:30 p.m. on April 11. Sheriff�s detectives had already obtained a warrant for Graves charging him with first-degree murder in the death of Clapp.
Clapp�s body was discovered the morning of March 29 on farmland, by a landowner checking his property. Clapp�s identity was determined using a deteriorated sales receipt found in a pants pocket. His last known address was Ivey Road in Graham. Clapp was identified as the victim on April 8.
At the time Clapp�s body was found, investigators suspected him to be the victim of a homicide. They believe he was killed elsewhere, and then his body dumped off Louis Graham Road, not far from Lake Cammack. It�s believed Clapp had been dead less than 24 hours before his body was found.
The Burlington Police Department, State Bureau of Investigation, City/County Gang Unit, and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force have assisted in the investigation.

No recipe today, just a little picture from this evening's Yom Ha'atzmaut celebration held by the Israeli Consulate to New England. It was a bit more low key than last year but the flowers were just as lovely — roses this year instead of tulips. And, of course, I couldn't resist bringing one home.
Chag Sameach everyone!

Yes, the Nürburgring is cool. Yes, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster is cool. No, getting the Nürburgring embossed in leather on the center console of your V8 Vantage Roadster is not cool.
Make no mistake: The V8 Vantage is no stranger to the Nordschleife. Here's video of Aston's test driver taking Sabine Schmitz out for a hot lap:
What's at stake here is an issue of balance and taste.
Firstly, the car in question is orange. An orange paintjob is statement enough. There is really no need to shout over it with a self-conscious nod to motorsports.
Secondly, the car in the video is a coupé and this is a roadster. Physics will dictate that any roadster based on a unibody coupé will be heavier and less rigid—less of a sports car, that is.
Thirdly, it's just ostentatious. This car was parked in downtown Vienna, Austria. It's way too clean to have been anywhere near a racetrack.
And finally, at the risk of sounding curmudgeonly, can we all please cut back on the N'Ring fetish? We've all been guilty of it here at Jalopnik, yes, but perhaps it's time to marvel at our local tracks and roads and not worry so much about a ninety-year-old German circuit PR'd into the modern limelight by automakers desperate to out-Porsche Porsche.
Unless you live in Iowa, you will have wonderful roads around to actually drive on. Do that. And leave the racetrack porn to downtown poseurs. Rant over. Drive on.

Executives decided the topic was too sensitive because of the tornado in Oklahoma City today. In a press release, a CBS spokesperson stated,""Due to the tragic events this afternoon in Oklahoma, we are pre-empting tonight's season finale of Mike & Molly, which has a related storyline. A repeat broadcast of 'Mike & Molly' will run in the time period. The season finale will be broadcast at an appropriate date."

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey is expected to miss the rest of the season with a torn biceps, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Dorsey injured his left arm at practice Friday and left the field after being attended to by the training stuff. He will have surgery Monday.
Dorsey was hurt on his 29th birthday. He is set to be a free agent after this season.
Dorsey came into his own when he signed with the 49ers and was an instant success at nose tackle. Dorsey didn't make much of a difference in five seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City took him with the No. 5 overall pick in 2008.
Second-year player Quinton Dial, a fifth-round pick out of Alabama last year, should get reps with the first team in Dorsey's place. Dial is having a productive camp.
The 49ers also have Ian Williams, who was the starter at the beginning of last season. He suffered a severe leg injury in Week 2 at Seattle and was lost for the year. He is still not practicing, but the team is hopeful he can play this season.
ESPN.com 49ers reporter Bill Williamson contributed to this report.

After a couple of pretty toughto- swallow seasons, the Warsaw Wildcats finally had a little bit to crow about in 2013. Although they ended the season with a losing record, they did win their first district game against Diamond before succumbing to Lamar in week 11. But the 5-6 record also broke the doldrums of the previous few seasons and Coach Blake Markway, his staff, and all of the players had much to be proud of in turning their fortunes around.
But 2014 brings new changes once again. Paul Thomas, former coach at Marceline, Marshall and Hannibal, brings his 127-96 record and Hall of Fame credentials to Warsaw. Although the Wildcats saw a little reversal of fortune for last year, the Tigers are looking for the solid coaching resume that they found in Coach Thomas. He has been a proven winner everywhere he has coached. He brings along a staff of Nate Steenburgen as defensive coordinator, Trevor Makie, Kasey Tittlemeyer, Alex McFadden, and Derald Henderson, and they are already hard at work on the upcoming season. Coach Thomas stated as he assessed the team, "We need to get back to the basics of football and get the commitment level back up."
Offensively the Tigers will employ multiple schemes, but they will probably highlight the passing game. They have All-State receiver Bailey Jalinek (6-4, 175), who brought in 12 TDs and 975 yards in receptions last season. Jalinek, a tall, lanky receiver with solid hands will be the go-to guy his senior year as well. Senior Tommy Proctor (6-3, 190) is also a downfield threat at tight end. He had 245 yards receiving and five touchdowns. Newcomer Trenton Simms (5-10, 150) also will see action at receiver in his sophomore year. In the backfield Ryan Todd (5-10, 160) ground out almost 470 yards as a junior and recorded three TDs. Austin Steenburgen (5-11, 180) returns for his junior season after suffering a season-ending injury in game four last year. Still he rushed for over 300 yards and 3 TDs in that time. After a platoon system at quarterback last season, it looks like most of the play calling duties will fall on sophomore Will Bunch (5-11, 165). With only four starters, all in the skill spots, there will be some competition for the line spots. Right now senior Jordan Johnson (5-10, 200) will have one spot, while sophomore Dakota Bilderbeck (6-0, 205) should have another spot. This is the biggest area of concern for Coach Thomas and the Wildcats. They must assemble a line that can buy the young quarterback time and provide the effective rushing game that Coach Thomas' scheme requires.
The defense also returns only four starters from last season. Whoever is on the opening day roster though, the Wildcats will need to clamp down in about every aspect of the defense. The defensive backfield should be the strength on this side of the ball. Ryan Todd leads the returnees will 94 tackles recorded as a linebacker. Senior Michael Benson (6-0, 215) also returns at linebacker after tallying 68 tackles last season. Also returning at defensive back are Bailey Jalinek and Austin Steenburgen. Trenton Simms, Will Bunch, and Dakota Bilderbeck will also help fill out the defensive backfield. Craig DeWeitt (5-11, 250) returns to the line for his senior season. Also Jordan Johnson will take another spot up front.
Whether it is rekindling the old spirit, returning to the fundamentals, or really starting a new chapter in Warsaw football, the Wildcats are looking to continue the improvements that they started last season. Under the new regime headed by Paul Thomas, Warsaw hopes to expedite the process of restarting the program. If history tells us anything Coach Thomas should get the desired results for Wildcats. The only question is how soon?
Pigskin's Pick: 4-5

I have seen it argued on the sole basis of one Biblical text, Leviticus 19:28, that it is a sin to get a tattoo. Is it appropriate to make such a leap in taking this particular civil law given to Israel by God and making it a mandate for the church today? Do the original context of Leviticus 19:28 and the hermeneutical principles by which we understand the current relevance of the civil laws of Israel support such a leap?
I would agree that for the majority of believers getting a tattoo would not be wise, considering the expense and permanency of such actions, and the difficulty or impossibility of reversal. However, must we not also be careful to safeguard the principle of Christian liberty and not attempt to bind the conscience of a believer contra the Scriptures as understood by the Westminster Confession and Reformed hermeneutical tradition?
The OPC does not take stated positions on such things as dress, jewelry, or bodily markings. The only matters on which the OPC makes declarations is in answering charges or protests brought to it from its presbyteries and churches. There is nothing on the matter of tattoos in our secondary standards (Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) or, as far as I know, in the decisions and declarations of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church..
I believe you are correct in what you say about Leviticus 19:28. The clear context of Leviticus 19 is God's holiness, and the holiness to which his people are called. They are to be separated from the surrounding nations. God's people must forsake idolatry, temple prostitution, spiritual mediums, fortune tellers, and the various bodily markings of the other nations, including hair styles and bodily markings (tattoos and scarification).
The command to be set apart as God's people from the sinful idolatries of this world remains. It can be argued, however, that tattoos (along with sideburn-cutting and beard-shaving, cf. Lev. 19:27, and "eating meat with the blood still in it," cf. Lev. 19:26) do not have the same meaning today and thus the specific commands against them expired along with the Israelite state.
Our Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 19, "Of the Law of God," distinguishes between God's abiding moral law, and the civil and ceremonial laws given to the Israelites. In section 4 of this chapter, the Westminster Divines write this:
To [Israel] also, as a body politic he gave sundry judicial laws, which expired together with the State of that people; not obliging any other now, further than the general equity thereof may require.
I would agree with you that we must be careful to maintain the important principle of Christian liberty which the Reformed Faith has cherished.
Now to get down to details. I don't think Leviticus 19:28 strictly forbids tattooing as it is practiced today. Consider Deuteronomy 14:10 (English Standard Version), an important parallel passage, and related comments from The Reformation Study Bible (Ligonier Ministries, 2005):
"You are the sons of the LORD your God. You shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead. For you are a people holy to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the people who are on the face of the earth."
Deut. 14:1. You shall not cut yourselves ... for the dead. See Lev. 19:28, where the same rules are given. Details of this custom are unclear, but it doubtless involved practices associated with ancestor worship and pagan ritual mourning. Because Israel was chosen by God, as His special possession (v. 2; 26:18), Israel was to be different and was to reject all pagan religion and associated rituals. (p. 265).
And consider also Leviticus 19:28 (ESV) and comments from The Reformation Study Bible:
"You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord."
[Lev.] 19:28. Mutilation of the body created by God was incompatible with holiness, for the holy God is perfect life (Deut. 14:1 note). (p. 180)
Thus mutilation of the body or tattooing associated with pagan rituals of mourning "for the dead" (a phrase occurring in both Lev. 19:28 and Deut. 14:1) are indeed clearly forbidden by God, but such practices do not equate with the modern practice of tattooing. Nor are people disobeying God's commandments today by cutting their sideburns, shaving their beards, or ordering their steaks rare!
Indeed, we need to be sure that what we do is not an act of idolatry. And idolatry comes in many forms today—alcoholism, drug addiction, or putting anything above God and his Word. But there is no clear prohibition in Scripture against cutting our hair or tattooing our bodies as inherently sinful, even though we may decide against getting a tattoo on the basis of taking other issues into consideration, such as whether we are being wise with our bodies or good stewards with our money when we get a tattoo; just as many Reformed people would not agree with the fundamentalist that smoking is inherently evil, but may still conclude that there may be good reasons to avoid the practice for reasons of health, all other things being equal.
I hope that this consideration of the topic has been helpful.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

The reaction to Starfire lately has been all over the place. As her character continues to develop in the pages of RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS, we're seeing that not only can she kick major butt, she also is a character worthy of respect, especially by the people of her planet.
Starfire fans will be overjoyed to learn that in March we will be getting an extra dose of Starfire. DC has announced on The Source (are they still calling their blog that name?) Starfire will have a solo story in DC UNIVERSE #18.
DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS has already focused on Deadman, the Challengers of the Unknown, Vandal Savage, Kid Flash and Black Lightning and Blue Devil. Issue #17 will focus on Arsenal. Isn't it time we see some more female characters in the spotlight?
The one-shot story will be written by Joe Keatinge with art by Federico Dallocchio. The issue goes on sale March 20. Here's what Joe had to say:
After working with illustrator Ricken on our Arsenal issue, I got the bug to do more with the Outlaws, so getting the immediate opportunity to work with illustrator Federico Dallocchio on Starfire is very, very ideal. Even better, she's a character I've liked for a long time now, especially in the classic Wolfman/Perez Titans era. Shining a solo spotlight to where she's at now in DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 is something I'm very enthusiastic about.
Will you be picking this up?

WASHINGTON -- A group of Senate Republicans and Democrats say Congress should vote on whether the U.S. leaves troops in Afghanistan after the NATO-led combat mission formally ends this year.
Sen. Jeff Merkley said Thursday that automatic renewal is fine for Netflix and gym memberships, but not for war. Sen. Mike Lee said after more than a decade of combat, the decision should not be left to the White House and Pentagon alone.
Sens. Joe Manchin and Rand Paul also are pressing for a vote.
President Barack Obama is weighing the possible U.S. presence in Afghanistan after 2014. The military wants to keep 10,000 U.S. troops in the country. But the White House says Obama won't leave any American forces in Afghanistan unless Afghan President Hamid Karzai signs a bilateral security agreement.

Hemp Cannabis sativa L.
Hemp is one of the fastest growing biomass in the world and one of the most useful crops with everything from seed to fibrous stem being utilised.
Hemp seed oil is the highly nutritious essence from the seeds of the hemp plant that is high in essential fatty acids (EFAs).
They are 'essential' as our body doesn't make them which makes hemp seed oil a vital addition to our everyday diet. The EFAs are also known as Omega oils- or 3,6 and 9 renowned for supporting skin, nerve and brain health.
We cold press the seeds to make our hemp seed oil so we can preserve all the heat-sensitive goodness in the seed.
It is such a delicate oil that it's best stored in the fridge and only used cold; drizzle it over stews, soups and salads for a moment of nutty delight.

Police: Whistle-averse woman parks on train tracks in Monongahela
Bridgett Dixon found in nearby convenience store
Police say a drunk and disorderly woman so dislikes train whistles that she parked her car on some railroad tracks to stop trains from coming through town.
Monongahela police Chief Brian Tempest tells the Observer-Reporter (http://bit.ly/137KV3E ) that 42-year-old Bridgett Dixon was "sick and tired of hearing the horn blowing," though he noted, "she doesn't even live that close to the tracks."
Police found Dixon's car parked on the tracks, with the driver's door open and no keys in the ignition, about 11:30 p.m. Friday.
They found it after responding to a report of a woman screaming at a convenience store that her car was stuck on the tracks.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Dixon, who faces a preliminary hearing March 2 on charges including risking a catastrophe.

In fact, one out of five American-produced vehicles by FCA US, Ford and General Motors are exported. Because exporting is so important to the domestic auto industry, American automakers supported every U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that has been negotiated.
The U.S. is engaged in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) FTA negotiation with 11 other countries, including Japan. While AAPC has supported every past U.S. FTA, it is seeking as a top priority a TPP that includes strong and enforceable currency disciplines in the agreement. Several countries in the TPP negotiations have a history of using currency manipulation to gain an unfair trade advantage over their trade partners, which would undermine the expected benefits of a TPP agreement to the United States.
Currency manipulation acts as a significant non-tariff barrier to our exports. It subsidizes for exports from the country manipulating its currency that can be worth thousands of dollars per vehicle, as well as creating a competitive disadvantage for U.S. exports to that country as well as third party markets where U.S. products compete with the manipulating country's products. As a result, currency manipulation can be worth billions of dollars for foreign automakers at our expense.
At more than $140 billion in exports per year, automotive products (vehicles and parts) are America's largest export sector. However, several of the TPP countries included in the talks have markets closed to U.S. auto exports. Obtaining access to these growing auto markets, such as Malaysia and Vietnam, is essential to maintaining and expanding America's already robust auto exports.
Because of the size and importance of the TPP, as well as the countries involved in the negotiations, it is critical to get it right. That means gaining meaningful access to the region's closed auto markets and addressing, in a strong and enforceable manner, the biggest 21st century barrier to free and open trade – currency manipulation.

Penobscot Theatre Company's Education Department is pleased to announce its Dramatic Academy Summer Scholarship Recipients. The PTC Education Department works with our Parent Council to fundraise for our Summer Scholarship program. Due to the generosity of several local families and patrons, we were able to assist seven students in attending our Summer Sessions.
Each year, one student receives the Nathan Halvorson Scholarship. This sponsorship, name for one of our Dramatic Academy students much love directors, provides scholarship for one student to attend both sessions of our Young Adult program. Criteria for this scholarship includes service to the organization, commitment and dedication to the pursuit of theatre, and need. We could not be more pleased to announce that the recipient this year is Alyssa Stubbs. Alyssa is an Orono High School student and has become an integral part of activities at PTC. She is a member of Teen Council, has served as a Camp Counselor, interned as a part of many Productions Crews, and attended many of our Dramatic Academy class offerings. Alyssa had this to say about being the recipient of this generous scholarship:
"I was in complete shock. I am so grateful for this scholarship. It really helps my family, where I wanted to do both sessions, but we could barely afford one. When I found out, I was speechless. I thought I was in a dream. I couldn't stop smiling. I am very thankful for this scholarship. I love theater. It's my life. I am so full of joy when I am on stage performing and I never want to stop. Also, I love PTC. They are very welcoming and the people there are so nice and helpful. Whenever I step through the front doors of PTC, I always have a smile on my face. PTC has made me very happy."
In addition to Alyssa's scholarship, six other students were awarded funds to help make their summer at PTC possible:
Tiny Thespian Musical "Aristocats": One boy and one girl from Bangor ages 5 and 6
Show Choir "West Side Story": Eleven year old girl from Brewer
Youth Troupe "The Seussification of Romeo & Juliet": Two girls, ages 10 & 11 from Dexter and Winterport
Young Adult Musical "RENT": Female student, 14 years old from Bangor
The staff of PTC and faculty within the Dramatic Academy would like to thank those who so generously donated to the scholarship fund. As a non-profit organization, we rely on those who believe in Arts Education to support our programming and make it available to students of all ages and backgrounds.
There is still availability in all of our Session 1 Summer Programs. Registrations for this session will close June 20th. The Junior and Youth Musical portion of Session 2 is now closed, but registrations for all other programs in that session will remain open until July 20th. To find out more about our programs and to download your registration form please visit the Education tab on our website at: DRAMATIC ACADEMY SUMMER.

Dancing with the Stars Season 9 – Michael Flatley in for Len??
I really, really, really hope this isn't true. As cranky as Len can be (and he is particularly hard on my favorites, it seems 🙂 ), I really don't want him to be replaced, even temporarily. I do understand the possible health reasons, but I'm going to hope and pray that Len is all better and back in the center seat on DWTS in the fall. Anyway, here are some excerpts from the article from "Irish Central" that popped up for me this morning:
Multiple sources confirmed to IrishCentral what has been a flurry of Internet buzz — that Flatley is being considered as a replacement for judge Len Goodman, who recently announced that he was recovering from treatment for prostate cancer.
Flatley has already appeared as a guest judge on the show, and was a huge hit with viewers. An industry source told IrishCentral that "Len would be almost impossible to replace, and we don't want to replace him. But his health comes first. If he decides he needs the rest and wants to step down, how could we do better that Michael Flatley?"

I love Pablo Neruda–complete fan girl, always. I love him in Spanish and in English and it is a tribute to his lovely lucid language that he sounds irresistible in both. Odes to Common Things is a collection of poems translated by Ken Krabbenhoft and published more than 20 years after Neruda's death. He was so prolific and wrote so often of subjects that fascinated him that there are twenty-five odes about everything from scissors to gillyflowers. Scissors have cut the shape of all life, loves, grave clothes and fingernails. Gillyflowers have evolved from discarded weeds to "fragrant light, perfect protagonists of silence". Neruda makes you think about the commonplace as if you are encountering it for the first time–and as if you have the eyes of a poet.
La mesa fiel
sueño y vida
titánico cuadrúpedo.
Tables are trustworthy:
titanic quadrupeds,
they sustain
our hopes and our daily life.
Ode to French Fries — What sizzles / in boiling / oil / is the world's / pleasure
Ode to a Pair of Socks — So this is / the moral of my ode: / beauty is beauty / twice over / and good things are doubly / good / when you're talking about a pair of wool / socks / in the dead of winter.
Ode to the Cat — There was something wrong / with the animals: / their tails were too long, and they had / unfortunate heads. / Then they started coming together, / little by little / fitting together to make a landscape, / developing birthmarks, / grace, / pep. / But the cat, / only the cat / turned out finished, / and proud: / born in a state of total completion, / it sticks to itself and knows exactly what it wants… / Nothing hangs together / quite like a cat
Neruda touches on loneliness, war, hunger, kindness, memory in his adoration of things. He is lush, rich and sensual–an apple is an opportunity to seduce:
You, apple, / are the object / of my praise. / I want to fill / my mouth / with your name. / I want to eat you whole.
A ti, manzana, / quiero / celebrarte / llenándome / con tu nombre / la boca, / comiéndote.
How could you not love things and the poet who enshrines them? I would write an ode to Pablo Neruda, but my Spanish is nowhere near as mellifluous as his.

Rare Editions
Who can name the most significant buildings in Hawaii? Architect Frank Haines, for one, editor of a book that does just that. This month, we interviewed Haines about the book, the direction architecture in Hawaii has taken lately and more.
(page 1 of 3)
The number of books devoted to architecture in Hawaii is so small, a nightstand might be enough to hold them. That nightstand would be poorly furnished, though, if it did not include a copy of Architecture in Hawaii, A Chronological Survey. First published in 1993, the book made itself essential as an overview of more than 150 major buildings from the time of the monarchy to the present day.
The present day never stands still, however. In the final pages of the 1993 edition, authors Ron Sandler and Julie Mehta, and editor Frank S. Haines, FAIA, could only show a rendering of Harbor Court, then just a gleam in a developer's eye, and a photograph of a model for the proposed Aloha Tower Marketplace. On the book's last photo page? Chris Hemmeter's Black Point estate, looking so very … 1980s.
Mutual Publishing has just released a new edition of the book, with photos and descriptions of 22 projects that have been built in the Islands since 1993. It's a welcome and necessary update. The practice of architecture in Hawaii has gone through some soul searching over the past 15 years and the new pages extend the book's story of how we build things in the Islands.
We sat down with architect Frank Haines over lunch at the Pacific Club, to talk about architecture in Hawaii—the book, the buildings and his own history with architecture here.
If Hawaii's architecture has a kind of curator, it would have to be Haines. He was one of the earliest partners at what became one of Hawaii's largest firms, Architects Hawaii, where he worked on such high-profile projects as the Prince Kuhio Federal Building, Kaiser Permanente's Honolulu Clinic and Moanalua Medical Center and the 1978 restoration of Aliiolani Hale. At 87, he still chairs Architects Hawaii's board of directors. He also co-founded the Downtown-Chinatown architecture walking tour 50 years ago, and still conducts the Saturday morning tour (see page 75 for more information on the tours). He's been on the board of Historic Hawaii Foundation since it was founded in 1974, reviewing projects submitted for historic preservation awards.
He is one of just a handful of architects in Hawaii who seem as devoted to architecture's past as to its future, standing alongside such architects as Glenn Mason, AIA, and Spencer Leineweber, AIA, who both specialize in historic preservation.
So it's no surprise that Mehta, who thought of writing a book on Hawaii architecture while serving here in the Coast Guard, approached Haines for help with the first edition. "I didn't write any of the book, but I started out by making a list of the buildings that should be included and categorized them by period," recalls Haines. When Mutual Publishing decided to update the book, it approached Haines again for the same advice.
How to choose which new buildings to include? Haines first turned to the list of winners from the AIA (American Institute of Architects) design awards since 1993. "From there, I selected a wide variety of business types—homes, public housing, offices, etc. Then I tried to find projects that represented the different islands more [than the first edition had done]. Finally, I wanted to parcel out the new additions among as many different architects as I could."
Architecture in Hawaii is more descriptive than critical, heavy on photos. Captions, by Rob Sandler, give brief histories for each building, detailing its designers and builders and notable aspects of their construction, with little editorializing. It includes some private homes, but, like a lot of books on architecture, it concentrates on big, public projects—skyline stuff, and buildings with a more communal function, such as high rises and churches, government buildings, hotels, banks, schools.

So I'm sitting at a stop light the other day, minding my own business, thinking about all the major problems that currently affect our society ("Why doesn't Chipotle have cheese dip?"). And that's when it happened: the front end of my Range Rover lifted up several inches, entirely on its own. It was at that moment I knew my warranty had just paid for itself.
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, allow me to take you back to a column I wrote last July, shortly after I discovered that automotive retailer CarMax offers a six-year warranty on every used vehicle in its inventory. I took advantage of this brilliant policy in December 2012 to buy a used Range Rover, which is generally agreed to be one of the most fragile things on earth, sandwiched right up there between a Solo cup and Taylor Swift's heart.
Unfortunately, my first year of Range Rover ownership was rather uneventful. Oh, sure, the radiator was replaced in February 2013 because it started leaking. The suspension's lower control arm bushings were replaced at the same time, because they were worn. Six months later, the taillight filled up with water, and I drilled a hole to let it drain. And then in October, the electronic steering column broke and needed a new memory module. But the total warranty cost of all this was only $1,841.55 – which, in Land Rover terms, is uneventful. "Eventful" would be at least one major engine fire, and also the CD player changing tracks when you activate the windshield wipers.
Fortunately, things are really turning around this year. In April, I reported that the tilt steering column had failed again, which meant a warranty replacement of the entire steering column motor, for $785.19. And then, last week, at that stop light, the mysterious lifting problem.
Now, I admit that I initially tried to ignore this issue. This is a tactic frequently used by Land Rover owners, largely because problems tend to come and go as they please, and you never want to waste your time taking your Land Rover to the dealer unless you're certain they'll be able to repeat the issue. For example: almost every time I start my Range Rover in cold weather, a warning messages appears in the gauge cluster and says – this is completely true – "TRANSMISSION FAULT — REDUCED TRACTION." I have no idea what this means, but it goes away after a few seconds and then the car behaves normally. I consider this to be the Land Rover equivalent to those Welcome messages you get whenever you turn on a normal car.
I'm also reminded of an issue I had a few months ago with my CD player. One day, on a whim, it decided to completely stop playing CDs. That's right: one night I'm driving to dinner listening to the soothing sounds of Jimmy Eat World; the next morning, nothing. It's almost as if the CD player heard my taste in music.
This went on for days: no matter what I did to the CD player, no matter how many times I ejected the CDs and put them back in, no matter how much I turned the car on and off – nothing. So I scheduled an appointment with the Land Rover dealer. And as I'm driving to the appointment, guess what? The CD player is blasting music, healthy as ever, like a coughing fourth-grader who's suddenly cured when his parents threaten to take him to the doctor's office.
The point of all this is that you want to be careful before you schedule an appointment to bring your Land Rover in for service. You'll first want to try an entirely different tactic: Google. That's because Land Rover ownership brings with it the following universal truth: No matter what's happening, it happened to someone else. Truly: you could go on the forums and post that you opened the rear hatch and there was a small troupe of nine-inch-tall baroque dancers back there, doing calisthenics, and people would reply and say: "Oh, yeah. That happens a lot on cold mornings."
So in this particular case, I Googled the problem, and – sure enough – several other people had already experienced it. And while there wasn't much information online for a fix, a few people did mention that "they all do that." Unfortunately, "they all do that" isn't really a solution when it comes to Land Rovers, because it can be applied to nearly every situation. "Electrical fire?" the forum users will ask. "They all do that!" Not much solace when you're on the side of the road staring at the pile of melted goop that used to be your Discovery II.
But it didn't take much time to find out what the problem was. A few days later, as I walked back from lunch, I saw it: the Range Rover was listing to one side like the Titanic about four hours after Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have sex in that car.
So I took the thing straight to the dealer, and the diagnosis was as expected: the right front air spring was leaking and needed replacement. This would've been pricey enough, but the dealer also found another issue: the transmission sleeve was leaking transmission fluid, which — as you might expect — is a common problem with this car.
The total cost for all these repairs was $2,128.24, and my MaxCare warranty covered the entire thing without flinching. All I paid was my $50 deductible and six bucks for some interior bulb that had burned out. For those of you keeping track, my overall warranty repair total is now up to $4,690.52, which means the $3,899 warranty has officially paid for itself. Oh, and here's the kicker: I still have 50,000 miles or four-and-a-half years left before it expires.
I'm eager to see what happens next. I'm hoping more issues develop, so I have more stories for you people. CarMax, on the other hand, probably feels differently. They're probably hoping I crash it.

First news we have on dowsing pendulum date back to 2000 years before Christ, in Egypt, in the King Valley. Objects used as pendulums and dowsing sticks made of different materials and adorned with gems and stones were found in the sarcophagus. There are many ways of making a pendulum, pyramid-shaped, spherical, made of brass, crystal, silver, gold, though it is crucial that pendulum has the right prospecting towards the table and its weight must be at least 12 gram, whereas there is no restriction on the length of the chainlet (or string) from which the pendulum is hanging. It is good to know though that a longer chainlet slows the swings down while a shorter one speeds them up. The perfect chainlet for a pendulum of 12gr is 20 cm long.

The White Sox put Lillibridge on the disabled list prior to Friday's game. But the good news was that the fracture was non-displaced, so he will not require surgery.
"Two to three weeks in this hard cast and another soft cast for two weeks," said Lillibridge, joking how the cast he's currently sporting allows him to play video games and drive a little bit. "About a six-week process.
"Having it happen at the end of the year, I'm happy it wasn't in June trying to come back. I won't be swinging until late November anyway. If it was going to happen, it happened at this time and I appreciate it. Obviously, I wish I was finishing and having some fun out there still."
Hopefully Lillibridge recovers fully and comes back strong next year. He had a heck of a season this year (one that I didn't expect).
Other White Sox links:
- J.J. looks at Lillibridge's injury.
- James, also, looks at Lillibridge's injury and tells us what to watch for in the remaining games.
- B-R's blog notes that Paul Konerko is getting on base a lot (.400 OBP) but doesn't score a lot (64 runs). I wonder why!
- Birmingham lost Game 2 7-5 . The series is now tied at 1. Great Falls won Game 1 8-3.

Kent State Welcomes New Hires at Diversity Networking Luncheon
More than 50 people attended the New Hire Diversity Networking Lunch sponsored by the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in November at the Kent Student Center.
"Our goal in moving the event to a networking lunch was to create a space to meaningfully connect new diverse employees with the campus community and vice versa," says Dana Lawless-Andric, executive director for project management and diversity programming with the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. "The shared interaction allows everyone to take away something special from the event."
The new diverse Kent State employees hired from Jan. 1, 2012 through July 30, 2012, were welcomed by attendees of previous luncheons. The event also featured tables with conversation cards and a buffet.
Speakers at the event made clear the university's goal to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome.
"It is my hope that you will become a part of this community. Kent State is a great place to work," says Alfreda Brown, vice president for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Veronica Cook-Euell, supplier diversity program manager at Kent State, says the event acts as a springboard for new hires.
"I really applaud Dr. Brown for the thought process behind creating this event to welcome and introduce the minority community. It creates a welcoming environment. It says 'we're glad you're here,'" Cook-Euell says.
"Kent State is a very large university, so we've tried to create a very warm and inviting community," says Said Sewell, assistant provost for Academic Affairs, who emphasized how important it is to network.
Overall, Provost Todd Diacon summarized the event's tone.
"We want to have a community that allows for you to thrive," Diacon says.

Maybe you heard about Sufjan Stevens' recent US tour. Maybe you read my braggadocious post about the (tiny) role I had in kicking off this latest round of shows.
Last Wednesday I saw the last gig of the run, one of four sold out New York shows. Let's take advantage of what the internet has to offer and kick off this discussion with one of the new tunes he debuted. I'll start with my favorite, the relatively straightforward "Age of Adz":
Now let me admit, I came away from the show feeling both intrigued and baffled. As one of my fellow concertgoers said to me that night, the music borrowed all the signifiers of rock but contained no actual rocking. Add to that a liberal dose of spacious textures from electronic music and jazz. Another friend left early, complaining that the music was a tepid mess.
And, well, I sort of agree with these sentiments. My befuddlement can best be expressed by a series of comparative thought experiments.
– Imagine if James Taylor aspired to sound like Miles Davis
– Imagine if Cat Stevens took a greater interest in Frank Zappa than the prophet Muhammad
– Imagine if there was a male equivalent to Joni Mitchell's experience of getting lost in a jazz hole
– Imagine if Erik Satie decided to compose his take on jock jams, more or less missing the point of what jock jams are
In case you're mistaking these comparisons for disses, here's a last one:
– Imagine if there were more young(ish) musicians making music so strong & brave you felt comfortable namedropping them alongside such heavyweight peers
Let's go deeper into this with a second song, "There's Too Much Love," which reminds me, alternatively, of Prince and…

Eric Owens is a big guy, as imposing in person as he is onstage at The Metropolitan Opera, where he is a celebrated bass-baritone. But his critically-acclaimed portrayal of Alberich, the guardian of the golden Ring in Richard Wagner's "Der Ring des Niebelungen," doesn't permit his sunny smile and easygoing personality to come through.
I had the opportunity to interview Eric, 42, who grew up in Mt. Airy and graduated from Central High School 25 years ago (247th graduating class) for The CHS Alumni Journal this past August, near the conclusion of his appointment as Artist in Residence at The Glimmerglass Festival in Cooperstown, New York.
We had arranged for him to meet me in front of the Alice Busch Opera Theater after a Sunday afternoon performance. By the time I arrived, Eric was surrounded by fans offering their compliments and comments. "I am willing to wash your socks!" one woman gushed. Far from being the intimidating "Ring" character, he engagingly and winningly spent a half-hour acknowledging the opera-goers.
Eric grew up in a family that was not particularly music-oriented. "My mother played the piano and my father sang a tiny, tiny bit, but there weren't any professional musicians around."
He became interested in music at the Ada Lewis Middle School. When he was a freshman, he played clarinet in the orchestra for a year in the back of the section. "I didn't see myself getting up to the front of the section anytime soon, but the fellow who played oboe graduated, and he was the only oboist. So, I asked the band director, Eleanore Alter, one of my 'angels,' if I could play oboe. There was only one oboe, and my rationale was, 'I'll be first oboe; hell, I could 'be' the oboe section!'"
I asked Eric if he did any "churchly" singing. "No," he replied. "My singing didn't really start until high school … I remember my time at Central so fondly. Central High School was amazing because, in addition to the academics, which were just second-to-none, there was this wonderful music program and wonderful teachers — Stephen Wilensky, who I think is still there and was the band and orchestra director, and Italo Taranta, the choir director. He was this amazing guy, and not only did we have choir rehearsal, but he taught 'theory!' We learned music theory at Central and sang these wonderful concerts. Besides singing, I played in the orchestra. Central was where my music career got started.
"Mr. Taranta gave me a solo in one of the Christmas concerts. We did excerpts from Handel's 'Messiah,' and I sang 'But who may abide the day of His coming.' We did it down at this mall, the Gallery, and," Eric laughed his deep, rumbling laugh, "I can remember my knees shaking. Violently! I was SO nervous! It was amazing that my voice didn't sound like what my knee was doing."
Reflecting on that for a moment, Eric offered a perspective that he undoubtedly shares with young artists just getting their start: "So I'm thinking that now, getting up in front of an audience is no big deal, but it takes that first time so there can be a second time and a third time, and so on."
When I asked Eric about his subsequent musical training, he mentioned that he was playing professionally while he was still at Central. "Oboe-wise, I was freelancing around Philly. I actually skipped class one day to 'go gig.' But I didn't start taking singing lessons until my senior year at the urging of Mr. Taranta, who said, 'You know, you should really think about getting some training.' That was great for me because I had been an opera fan since I was 10 years old."
Owens had become an opera fan as a result of listening to the Metropolitan Opera Saturday broadcasts. "My junior high teacher, Ms. Alter, gave me LPs to listen to. She said, 'Oh, you like opera? Let me give you these,' handing me a recording of Mozart's 'Don Giovanni.' I thought, 'Oh my God, this is wonderful,' not ever imagining I would ever become a professional. But then, all these years later, looking back at the progression of things, I can see how this is what I'm supposed to be doing. It's wonderful to have a career in something that makes you happy; I don't have those Monday morning blues. Which is GREAT!" (Author's note: Wilensky is currently the chairman of the Central High Music Department. Taranta has retired from the faculty at Settlement Music School in Philadelphia.)
And post-Central High? "I went to Temple University and then the Curtis Institute of Music. So, Philly through and through. After that I spent two years in the apprentice program at the Houston Grand Opera Studio. My first live opera experience was at the Opera Company of Philadelphia; it was Puccini's 'Manon Lescaut' with this Romanian woman, Nelly Miracoiou. Years later I made my debut at The Royal Opera, Covent Garden, in Bellini's 'Norma' with … Nelly Miracoiou!"
This past summer's residency as Glimmerglass Artist in Residence (in Cooperstown, NY) was a busy sojourn for Eric. He appeared as Amonasro, the heroine's father in Giuseppe Verdi's "Aïda," and as Stephen Kumalo, the lead character in Kurt Weill's "Lost in the Stars," based upon Alan Paton's novel, "Cry, the Beloved Country."
In "Lost in the Stars," the intensity of Eric's performance left many in the full-house audience in tears. He took his curtain calls to tumultuous applause, completely in character, that of a tragically broken man who has witnessed his son's execution but has accepted the friendship of the father of his son's victim. When I complimented him on inhabiting his character even after the curtain fell, he commented, "You can find people like this anywhere in the world. Yes, it is a South African story, but it's a very human story. At core, Stephen is just a man who wants to find his son. Any parent, anywhere, could understand that." Then, he joked, "It does take a little while to shake that off. If you take it home with you, you'll be up drinking all night."
Eric also performed — as if two major opera roles weren't enough — a concert of songs associated with singer and bandleader, Billy Eckstine. "I am a huge fan of his beautiful voice as well as his beautiful singing. People think both of these are the same, but they aren't. He had an elegant sense of legato, and he really knew how to turn a phrase. I think he could have been an opera singer if he had wanted to."
Finally, it was time for us to part. When I asked Eric to e-mail me his snail mail address so I could send him a few copies of this edition of the Journal, he replied, "Oh, that would be great! My mother will be thrilled!"
Internationally renowned Metropolitan Opera star or not, some things never change.

This essay, like the one I posted last month on faux-vintage photography, is me hashing out ideas as part of my larger dissertation project on self-documentation and social media. Part II will argue that the media also overstate how public we have become, sensationalizing the issue to the point that the stigma associated with online imperfections erodes more slowly. It is no stretch to claim that we have become more public with social media. By "public" I mean that we are posting (1) more pieces information about ourselves online in (2) new ways (see the Zuckerberg Law of Information sharing), and are doing so more (3) honestly than ever before. We are connected to the web more often, especially given the rise of smart phones, and new layers of information are being invented, such as "checking in" geographically. And gone are the days when you could be anyone you want to be online; today we know that online activities are augmented by the physical world. People are mostly using their real names on Facebook and nearly everything one does there has everything to do with the offline world.
But we are not as public as this suggests. We need a balance to this so-called triumph of publicity and death of anonymity (as the New York Times and Zygmunt Bauman recently declared). "Publicity" on social media needs to be understood fundamentally as an act rife also with its conceptual opposite: creativity and concealment. And I am not talking just about those who use false identities on blogs (see Amina) and pseudonyms on Facebook, those with super-strict privacy settings or those who only post a selective part of their multiple identities (though, I am talking about these folks, too). My point applies to even the biggest oversharers who intimately document their lives in granular detail.
I'll describe below how each instance of sharing online is done so creatively instead of as simple truth-telling, but will start first by discussing how each new piece of information effectively conceals as much as it reveals. Read More »

How to catch a feed of fish in Moreton Bay (bait fishing) Part 2 Land based
In the hope of generating long and waffley posts from people with lots of knowledge/experience, and in the spirit of Charlie's previous excellent thread - it would be great to hear from those of you with good Morton Bay advice for those of us who don't fish out of boats.
How about this thread is kept for all land based Morton Bay advice apart from rivers? Can generate a new thread for that if people want one.......
I'm starting this one for exactly the same reasons that were behind the last thread - the wife is taking the mickey when I walk out the door, she must be silenced :rolleyes:
Re: How to catch a feed of fish in Moreton Bay (bait fishing) Part 2 Land based
OK - I will kick this one off with some of the very basics of landbased bait fishing, not necessarily specific to Moreton Bay, but general tips that apply to any landbased fishing. Maybe others can add on with specific tips that work for them in the bay. These are things I apply to my landbased fishing trips, especially when fishing new areas (new to me).
It helps to have a target species, or group of species with similar feeding habits.
Its best if you can find structure - this can be anything from close reefs, isolated coffee rock, weed beds, drop offs, jetties/pontoons, drains off flats, mouths of creeks canals, rock walls, rockky headlands, gutters on beaches, tidal contour lines on sand flats, deep holes close to shore. A good way to do this is to visit your intended spot at the bottom of the low tide and look - noting the structure in location to landmarks above water (it may not be visible at higher tides).
Make sure your bait is either live or very fresh (and dont leave it sitting in the sun to go off during the fishing session).
Present your bait on the hook so that it looks natural if its a dead bait, and if its a live bait so that it swims (fish,prawn,yabby) or wriggles (worms). Only use enough weight (lead/sinker) to keep the bait in the strike zone - you dont want it anchored to one spot (this usually only produces vermin).
Most - not all - landbased spots produce better/more fish during the low light periods. Dawn, Dusk and night. I often arrive as people are packing up to go home, and vice versa. Their catch rate is generally not that flash. Remember we are talking about how to catch a feed of fish - not how to wet a line and enjoy the surrounds (though your are going to be doing that anyway).
Fish as light as you can....i would rather loose an unstopable because I was fishing too light, than not get any bites because the line was way to heavy. For most of my bay type landbased fishing i use 3-4kg mono (we are talking bait fishing here - not lures - that is a topic for a whole new thread). I usually use 12 - 14lb leaders. If i keep getting bitten off it usually means the tailor are around so i might up the leader to 20lb, but only if i keep getting bitten off.
Keep the rod in your hand when fishing. I usually take a sand spike with me, but this is for keeping the reel out of the sand/dirt while i am rebaiting/rerigging (and prevents the rod being accidentally stepped on - especially at night). I only ever use one rod when landbased fishing. It is also usually not necessary to try to cast as far as you can, more often than not the fish are in close near the structure, not out in the desert. Accuracy is more important than distance (with accuracy will come increased distance)...especially at night.
My preferred outfits for the bay type landbased fishing spots are a 8'-10' rod with a multi taper softish action ( favourite outfit is a Wilson Shoreline matched with either a 5" Alvey or 3500 size threadline/spinning reel - I have both setups).
These are some of the basic tips. Now over to the bay gurus for more species specific tips on baits, techniques, general locations (as in what to fish for in what kind of location).
As I was once told during my business training....if you dont have a target you will never hit it.
Re: How to catch a feed of fish in Moreton Bay (bait fishing) Part 2 Land based
What a great idea.
1. You must target a species there no point chasing flathead in winter and big bream in summer.
2. Bait fresh is best, if it means buy green prawns from coles:rolleyes: ask for the smaller ones (work it out there cheaper than frozen bait anyhow)
3. Equipment you need to get to the fish and hold them. Best all rounder IMO 4126 (4wraps fibreglass 126 inchs long) rod, 6inch alvey 12 lbs line(it's not sport you want to catch a feed).
4. Tackle fish as light as you can - light sinker(just enough to hold bait , hook (1-1/0) and always black swivel be prepared to lose plenty of rigs around rocks.
5. What region do you want to fish (Cleveland, Brissy River, Redcliffe).
6. Having growning up in Redcliffe i'll give my bit on that area.
This time of year the Bream will be coming on landbased around Redcliffe, firstly pick your tide wind and time of day 1 or 2 hours each side of high or low tide morning, noon or evening or if your reel keen full moon high tide. Second pick or location you gotto think outside the box . while everyone else is fishing the bridges and jettys, try the rocks or break walls rockybanks sometimes the places you think "they'll never be fish there, is where they are" it's got to have structure(Rocks, Weed or deep water) .
Anyhow I've rabbled enough, hope it helps
Re: How to catch a feed of fish in Moreton Bay (bait fishing) Part 2 Land based
Good stuff there boys, I fish mostly from a boat but before I got that I fished landbased at Redcliffe.
There are miles of shoreline there with sandy beaches, gutters rocky reefs right on to the beach etc.
I found a great spot almost by accident as Ads says above. I fish a very public area but not on a jetty.
(People above me walking by or with kids always come down for a look and seem shocked that you can catch a fish there, its funny!)
Just straight on the beach into an area which has sand but out a little is a rocky reef area that extends out of the beach. I fish just along the edge of it, where at low tide it's broken sand and rubble. So its pretty rubbley sort of spot.
I fish this place in the afternoon, say 3pm right till dark, and its great with an incoming tide or outgoing but around the high tide. You want that because the tide brings the fish to you, when the tide is out the water is shallow and fish have retreated to deeper water, but love to come in close with the higher water to feed over areas which have been exposed at low water.
(NB. I have tried there during the day but never succeeded. To catch good fish you must be prepared to get out of bed early or be prepared to fish late, I cant emphasise that enough! If 90% of the fish are caught by 10% of the fishermen, then I will guarantee the 10% are fishing these hours!)
So far we have caught heaps of bream, seems they are the most prolific, but also whiting (summer) flatties, cod etc. My grandkids love it!
I use prawns, and agree that buying good big uncooked prawns from Coles is way better value than little packets of little prawns at the servo etc. But I am sure many other fresh baits would work there as well of course.
Now, how I fish.
To me when you fish a rocky area, the worst thing you can do is hold the rod as you will tend to keep moving the bait. End result of that is heaps of snags. I have tried to teach blokes I have taken there this but many wont be told, end result is they are forever snagged and re tying hooks and not catching. If you are very experienced of course you can discipline yourself and so holding the rod is no problem. I am, but in fact I find I get more fish by letting them hook themselves.
(The reason this happens is that I find like in Charleville's ramblings, that these afternoon or early morning times are when fish are more active, and so they hit much more aggressively)
So I have two rods, 10 ft long with whippy tips, 12lb mono, and stand them in sand spikes about two meters apart and cast them on different angles. I place the rods in the stands and watch them. As I am right there between them as soon as the bite happens I'm right on to it, in fact most times the rod just bends over and the fish hook themselves!
And as mentioned above. light sinkers, light line, and try fishing very close as well as further out, not all fish are right over near Moreton Is. some are swimming right at your feet at Redcliffe!
Hope this helps!
Re: How to catch a feed of fish in Moreton Bay (bait fishing) Part 2 Land based
To add to the points above. When landbased and I'm planning for a session I'll always prep two rods. 1 a heavier outfit that I have a baitrunner on that I will rig for livebaiting and a smaller rod for the smaller dead baits.
I found this effective because while livebaiting so often I would often get picked at by legal but not targeted fish especially if my live bait wasn't hardy like Herring. So over a good night session you can pick up 5,6,7,8 smaller specimens using deadbait or small livebait and if you get a big larger specimen on the larger rod you actually go home with quite a good feed. So i'll put the baitrunner with Livey o a sand spike or polly pipe holder and hold the smaller rod and wait for the bait runner to scream.

Re: How to catch a feed of fish in Moreton Bay (bait fishing) Part 2 Land based
Not much to add on this subject but raby bay canals always pay off for me.
I'm local so it's convenient
What i wanted to add was that I always thought the reports section should have a land based forum.
we have saltwater offshore, then beach, bay, estuary and river crammed in to one.

Re: How to catch a feed of fish in Moreton Bay (bait fishing) Part 2 Land based
I agree with pretty much all of the above - but for me the two most important points are probably:
1) Waking up in the middle of the night (at this time of year) to start fishing at least 30 mins before first light.
2)Trying (and I know its hard) to find a stretch of water that has been undisturbed by boat traffic / other anglers overnight.
Point 1 will turn you into a very strange beast after a while - I now fall asleep at all evening events, regardless of importance!
I put up details of all the locations I fish, on my blog at http://landangler.wordpress.com.
I know it drives some anglers nuts when I give away spots and I apologise to them - but I figure sharing creates good fishing karma in the long run.Follow Mullet Musketeer - the Landangler at
Re: How to catch a feed of fish in Moreton Bay (bait fishing) Part 2 Land based
Heya Gav i know what you mean mate when it comes to the "Missus" taking the piss out of ya lol, i get the same treatment hahaha its good to know someone else in the same shoe's lol
ok mate i'm landbased atm..and have been through the holidays as there were no mechanics around to help with my boat, well thats another story.
I been fishing around redcliffe for 5 weeks now and managed to catch if not undersize snapper and bream aswell, and been catching sharks, shovels and stingers too...something had to give as the missus kept giving it to me lmao
Yes something had to give, as was mentioned on one of my post's i have been using bait for like a million yrs lol and always thought that was the way to go..until
this Soft plastic thingy came into play and its been around for yrs lol
ok i had tried it out a couple of times but never jagged anything ya know why?
Because i wasn't shown the right way to do it...until...now
Lets just say i am pretty much converted to lure's well one in particular because i've tried others and to no success..
1. Is because i wasn't shown how to do it properly.
2. Didn't have the right gear.
3. Knowning where to find your fish ie: (Right under ya nose) or back door.
In doing 1 and 2 first then you too will be catching fish anywhere.
You want to know who taught me?
"Youtube" that is where you start, and study there methods then you will not need a boat to catch BIG fish..i have watched lets just say a lot of video's over and over in 4 weeks and in the last 2 days of putting there methods to the test and was hoping i'd catch nothing just to prove them wrong, i didn't believe my luck..a total of 7 flatties 4 of which were keepers and the others released my P/B 60cm which was this morning total of 2hrs from saturday nite 1hr in the dark 6 Flatty's then in the morning 1st 3 cast then P/B only stayed out for an hr..So i hope this all helps as it has done to me, now thinking do i really need my boat?
