Initially, Good Ending is a romance story about a regular if not wimpy high school boy, Seiji, who is in love with his upperclassman in the tennis club, Shou. Then in some odd twist, the class beauty, Yuki, decides to help him pluck up the courage to confess to his crush. This section is all rather simple and it's pretty easy to figure out where some of the plot is headed, but it's enjoyable nonetheless. However, as the series goes on, it develops into more and more of a harem series and for me that's when it starts to lose some of its initial sparkle.
My biggest issue with harems is that it always seems to be so wholly unbelievable and Good Ending is no different. Nine times out of ten, the central male is weak and generally naff, something that Seiji fulfils in pretty much every way. Initially, he's an incredibly cowardly and timid guy, and granted in that respect he does mature a little though not all that much. Throughout he suffers from what seems to be a crippling lack of self-confidence and indecision and as a result every little thing gets blown up out of all proportion.
Frankly, I have no idea why all the girls seem to flock to him. I mean, Oonuma clearly has some kind of mental issues given her naivety, her history and the way she clings to Seiji like a limpet purely because he's kind to her. About the only thing our central protagonist has going for him is that he's nice and kind to pretty much everyone, but he's not THAT good a guy - especially when his dithering ends up being harmful - and this is where the central problem lies.
While in the beginning, I was cheering Seiji on, willing him to overcome his shyness and win over his crush, as time went on I found myself getting frustrated and annoyed. There are only so many times that you can watch one guy hesitate and get into so many misunderstandings that set his relationships back two or three steps.
Outside of the harem aspect there are certain bits about the story that I do quite like. The history regarding Yuki's past relationship for example, I found quite engaging. For a seemingly long time, the mystery surrounding it kept the interest factor up, and I wanted to keep reading to find out just what happened. Then when all was revealed, the effect that past events had on her current love affair kept the whole thing fresh, and judging by the way things are going, her past will likely return once again. I do like that there are several plot threads running alongside each other at once, but this also works as a double-edged blade. There are certain aspects that feel tacked-on and unfocused; the main one that springs to mind is the whole photography aspect with Seiji. It's introduced as a way for him to move forward and seems like it will help to resolve his lack of motivation for the future as well as potentially adding to the list of females after the hapless teen. However, the whole thing seems pretty half-arsed, and it's fallen by the wayside only to reappear once or twice when it's convenient. Likewise, Touru coming back into the picture has been hinted at for a while but once again seems to have disappeared no doubt to return later on. Sadly, this lack of focus takes a little away from the otherwise well-woven plot threads, like dropping stitches while knitting and ending up with a nice yet rather holey sweater.
As much as I personally find Good Ending to have its fair share of problems, I still find it an easy read and when all is said and done, I do quite like it; it's just not one of the most incredibly amazing series out there. I'd say that if you like the harem genre, a dash of good humour and a few panty shots then it's worth checking this out.

text: So you've done your research, poked around the discussion boards on this site, and have come to conclusion that you want to sleep well at night and invest in an index fund. Congratulations. By far, the index with the most money benchmarked to it is the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index, with over a trillion dollars. The index is widely regarded as the barometer to measure the performance of large-cap U.S. companies. The stocks within the index are chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-cap weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding), and each stock's weight in the index is proportionate to its market value. There are gaggles of index funds out there that seek to replicate the returns of the S&P 500, and the beginning investor may feel overwhelmed by all the options. It seems simple enough - the fund tracks the index, so the manager just rebalances the fund when changes are made to the index. So why so many funds that track the S&P 500? The answer is that fund managers are competing for your money, and ultimately you reap the benefits. Let's take a look at what's out there. First off, the funds on my list had to have an r-squared value of over 0.95. If you're a novice investor, in English this means that over the last three years the fund had a correlation to the S&P 500 of over 95%. As we would expect, most of the funds have low turnover rates, which reflect the percentage of the fund 's holdings that have changed over the past year.

Although a few basis points doesn't seem like much on the surface, those fees can really add up, especially for investors with a long time horizon. Another important factor in selecting a fund that unfortunately can't be expressed numerically is how well the mutual fund company rates in customer service. Many trade publications and groups rank fund companies by customer service, but talking to investors who have dealt with fund companies and listening to their experiences certainly can't hurt. The above list of S&P 500 index funds is by no means comprehensive, but it is a good place to start your research. I have no interest in making recommendations here, my intention was to provide a sample of funds with low expense ratios and minimum investments that folks not named Thurston Howell III could afford. Remember, many people mistakenly believe the S&P 500 is the index that most broadly covers the entire stock market. If you're looking for the most inclusive index of U.S. stocks, it's the Wilshire 5000. Next week we'll examine index funds that track the entire market. See you then.

Good morning! Well, here we are at Day 14, which means…
There are officially only two weeks left until Christmas.
Oh, my.
Time flies when you're having fun freaking out having fun
… doesn't it?
Well, if you're feeling a little blue
(or red and green, as the case may be) about the rapidly approaching holidays, I have just the thing to help you unwind!
If you happen to live in the midtown Toronto area, or if you happen to work in the midtown Toronto area, or if you happen to live and work in the midtown Toronto area, or if you think you wouldn't mind travelling to the midtown Toronto area… the Starbucks at Bloor and Jarvis has just started hosting a stitch n' bitch session, every Wednesday night, from 7-9pm.
Knitters of all stripes and skill levels are welcome!
Unfortunately my Wednesdays are booked for the next little while, but when I spoke to the manager, she said they're planning to keep running the sessions "into infinity… and beyond!"
(Not really. She didn't quite put it that way. The "and beyond" was just me being me.)
(Name that movie!)
Anyway, I plan to be there with bells on in the not too distant future! If you're feeling the need for some peppermint-mocha-powered-de-stressing, why not check it out? You'll have fun, and you might end up creating a Christmas gift or two!
Starbucks and knitting combined…
My favourite worlds are colliding!
Oh, my.

What does 'Jump the shark' mean?
Said of a salient point in a television show or other activity at which the popularity thereof begins to wane: The Flintstones jumped the shark when a man from outer space came to visit them. The expression derives from an episode of the television sitcom 'Happy Days' in which Fonzie, clad in leather jacket and on water skis, jumps over a shark. That episode was widely seen as the beginning of the end for the formerly popular series.

More Stuff I'm Lovin..../
*My new Abas clutch wallet
I've been hunting it for months (and that's because I'm cheap so I've been hitting all the TJ Maxx's once I discovered they sold them). I finally found one that was cute, its a beautiful iridescent color and its very roomy, and you can tell how good its made. I have a similar clutch from Nine West and it is not as fabulous, I'm sad to say. Oh well.
*This isn't really new, but I'm still loving my Gucci. I get so many compliments on it. Now I want a horsebit Gucci bag, so I'm obsessed with making that dream come true as well.
*My new favorite songs are:
- Nelly featuring Usher - "Long Night" - The beat is sick (apparently Usher's brother produced it) and its got a sexy little feeling
- T.Pain featuring Lil Wayne - "Can't Believe It" - Ok, yes I do hate Lil Wayne, but this is a hot song. And I don't even like T.Pain that much, but for some reason I LOVE the song.
- Solange - "I Decided" - I heard this song when I was watching BET J and I was very surprised. Solange's sound has totally changed, and I'm looking forward to her album which is dropping on Tues.
*My new place! I am so excited that I'm moving back to civilization
*Brunch with the girls. We've gone the past couple of weeks and we've had a really good time. I like my little multicultural crew that I've got now.

Teen Shot And Killed After Mistaken For Burglar By Friend's Dad
Late-night hang-out turned deadly.
A 17-year-old was mistaken for a burglar and was shot and killed in Columbia County, Georgia. According to The Augusta Chronicle, authorities were called at 2:47 am Saturday about a burglary in progress. They found Jordan Middleton dead in the foyer from a gunshot to the chest.
Middleton was reportedly invited to the residence, per a statement from Columbia County Sheriff Maj. Steve Morris, by a 14-year-old girl. It was the girl's father, Derrick Fulton, who heard noises and thought the home was being robbed. He claims that he identified himself as armed and asked the burglar to identify himself. He heard nothing and when Middleton ran out of a closet, the father reacted and shot him in the chest.
Charges have not been filed.
According to WRDW, students at Grovetown High School held a vigil in honor of Middleton.

This little Shetland sheepdog is Christopher, one of my closest companions during childhood.
I, like many persons, enjoy the company of animals. They are honest, straightforward, and almost constantly good company. Dogs can be frightening and aggressive, an ear-sore, and they attack when cornered or when they have grown wild, I admit. Still, the bad moods of our dog-friends seem never to reach a degree that would make their presence unwelcome, but instead only elicit our concern for their welfare. The threat they may pose is often allayed in search for their better welfare.
Human beings are animals. Perhaps I ought to speak only for myself, but I want to ask: why do we not like ourselves in the same way?

March 2018 – Group Traffic and Capacity Statistics
Group traffic in March, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres, increased by 9.0 per cent versus February 2017; Group capacity measured in Available Seat Kilometres rose by 5.8 per cent.
5 April 2018
On 3 April, IAG announced that British Airways had finalised its new pension scheme. The airline closed its New Airways Pension Scheme (NAPS) to future accrual and its British Airways Retirement Plan (BARP) to future contributions from March 31, 2018. The schemes have been replaced by a flexible benefits scheme, incorporating a new defined contribution pension scheme, called the British Airways Pension Plan (BAPP). NAPS active members were offered a choice of transition arrangements. In Q1 2018, the net impact of these arrangements, the liability reduction resulting from the closure of NAPS and the cost of closing BARP will be treated as an exceptional gain of £598 million. The annual costs for BAPP are expected to be approximately £80 million lower than the equivalent NAPS and BARP costs in 2017.
On 25 March, Aer Lingus launched its flights between Dublin and Philadelphia. This is the airline's 14th direct transatlantic route. Philadelphia is the first of two new transatlantic routes to be operated by Aer Lingus for summer 2018 and will be followed by a new Dublin to Seattle service starting on 18 May. Initially, flights between Dublin and Philadelphia are operating four times per week and will increase to a daily service from mid-May.
On 28 March, LEVEL launched its new route from Barcelona to Boston with two weekly flights which will increase to three services per week from August 2018. From July, LEVEL will also start operations from Paris-Orly to Montreal, New York (Newark), Guadeloupe and Martinique.
This announcement contains inside information and is disclosed in accordance with the company's obligations under the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014.

The Amazon Show: An Echo Upgrade
Share this review
The Amazon Show: An Echo Upgrade
Amazon unveiled its latest Echo device this week. The Amazon Show is a voice-activated (Alexa) tablet that also has a touchscreen.
The Show acts pretty much like the Echo, only this device has a screen and can display a lot more of the things that Alexa digs up for you. It can, for example, show you the weather instead of just telling you about it.
The Show will retail for $229.99 in the
United States
. But is the Show worth the cash? What does it do that your Echo can't? Here's a closer look at the Amazon Show - and whether or not you need to have this new
Amazon device
in your life.
The Screen Advantage
Why would you want a screen when you can just ask your Echo something and get an answer? The reasons are many (and most are practical). Some of the benefits of a screen include being able to watch videos, looking at how recipes are put together or just viewing a recipe, taking a closer look at maps and weather, seeing images of the things that you want to know more about - the list goes on and on.
The idea behind Amazon's Show is to ask Alexa a question and get a very detailed answer that includes an image. Since the Show is also a touchscreen, you can use your fingers to pinch and zoom on something, tap something, or take a closer look at something. One other fun feature of the Show is that it works very well with Amazon content.
Connecting With Amazon Content
You can use the Show to stream photos that you may have stored with Prime Photos (kind of like those
digital picture frames
that were all the rage a few years ago). Amazon is also working on a new feature that the company is calling 'Drop In.' The Drop In feature will allow someone from a designated list of contacts to call your Amazon Show.
After a caller has connected with your Show device, you can then decide to switch to voice-only or reject the call within a matter of minutes. Amazon sees this feature working especially well when checking in on elderly relatives or kids at home. I'm not entirely sold on the Drop In feature, but Amazon does seem to be very excited about it. More on that feature will likely follow.
WiFi Security Enabled
Amazon has also made the Show work well with
security camera
systems. You can ask the Show to show you the front door, for example, and images will appear on your Show tablet. Using your current WiFi and a camera setup, the Show can then let you see all around your property or home through an Alexa command.
Even if you don't have a camera system, the Show comes with a pair of two-inch speakers that can be controlled through
voice command
. Amazon wants the Show to become an indispensable part of your connected home, but it's also one of the earlier Echo products. Amazon has been working hard to come up with new connected devices that consumer will love - and that work with Alexa.

Grayson | Spread | Spider-Man 2099
Dick Grayson. Former sidekick. Former Super Hero. Former dead man. And now…agent of Spyral?!
A thrilling new chapter of Dick Grayson's life begins in this new, ongoing series. It's a super-spy thriller that will shock you and prove one thing: You might think you know Nightwing – but you don't know Dick.
Ten years ago, we dug too deep. We unleashed something ancient that couldn't be controlled. Something that couldn't be stopped, twisting everything it touched into more of itself. The Spread. Humanity was nearly destroyed before we found a way to slow the Spread to a crawl. Now, deep inside the quarantined zone, one man has found the key to stopping it forever: a baby girl. And if he can save her, he might save the world.
Spider-Man 2099
Miguel O'Hara is Spider-Man in the year 2099 but he's currently stuck in the year 2014. He was stranded here by his father who is the head of an evil corporation called Alchemax in 2099. But in 2014, Alechmax has just been formed and Miguel has a chance to stop its corruption before it starts! You'd think being a man out of time would make you a man without enemies, but Spider-Man 2099 is about to discover that he's not the only one hoping for a better tomorrow, one that might be ensured by The Adjustor eliminating Miguel from the time stream altogether!

The 12+12 states on page 105: "Perhaps one of the greatest rewards of meditation and prayer is the sense of belonging that comes to us". Share some examples of how this "sense of belonging" has influenced your spiritual journey.
The sense of belonging that comes from repeatedly working a program of recovery is amazing. The acceptance I found at meetings in early recovery, over time spread throughout all areas of my life – to my sense of belonging to my family, a feeling of being a capable and respected colleague at work, the joy of being with other like-minded people at the World Conference or at an out-door concert. Acceptance is circular. I feel it and give it. The sense of belonging here and now so pervades my life that the sheer gratitude for it brings me to spiritual practice. The deeper I experience my connection to life, the more deeply I appreciate it and the deeper I go in spiritual practices to express my appreciation of this gift.
I know that a person like me does not get from being drunk, addicted and shut-down to where I am today without great mental, emotional and physical healing. I find that my sense of belonging is rooted in my conscious contact to God. The pathway to that connection has been the action of the twelve steps that provide a spiritual awakening that heals what appears to be so horribly broken.
Recovery has allowed me to support others in feeling a sense of belonging by supporting them through the steps and enjoying their expanding life journey in recovery.
I remember clearly early recovery and how painful and confusing it can be. It is my passion to support others in finding freedom from addiction and to find that wonderful sense of belonging and that feeling of deep well-being every stage of recovery can bring.

The Sobbing Girl
A short fiction story written by Arsh Sharma that will glue you to the reading site, abstain you to stay alone at night, hug your friend or parent and give you goosebumps as you read along. Stay tuned for 8 episodes of The Sobbing Girl.
Part 7 – The Cure
It was almost a year since Meera got possessed by the spirit from the terrace. Vivek just got to know that his wife was suffering. Now he wanted to do everything in his capability to kick the ghost out of their lives. He still wasn't sure if Meera had got her message or not. Neither could he ask directly from her as he didn't want to leave any clue for the wicked soul that he knows about her. If Meera was having a very bad time, Vivek's life too wasn't a piece of cake. Meera wasn't able to remember anything whenever she got possessed while the life of Vivek was horrible, he knew that he was living with the ghost. He had to present himself as a normal person in front of the new Meera otherwise she might harm her wife. Vivek had to wait to find out if his wife got his message or not. Vivek was now looking for someone who could help them to get out of this mess.
Vivek came across a name on the internet who worked in the field of paranormal activities. He had a Facebook account which was full of his ventures regarding his encounters with ghosts. He didn't deal with exorcism but Vivek thought that he may know some person who might help Vivek and Meera. Vivek called the number given in his profile and made an appointment. Vivek reached on given time to meet Tarun. Tarun's office was a normal office of an HR person of a company.
It wasn't like Vivek had visualized it to be. Tarun greeted him with a warm smile and gestured him to be seated while he winds up his work. Vivek was quite restless while waiting as he wasn't sure if he had chosen the right man for the purpose. After completing his work Tarun asked Vivek the reason for the meeting. Vivek told him that he came to know about him through the internet and his wife was going through some paranormal trouble.
Tarun wanted to know more and asked Vivek to tell him as much as he knew about Meera's problem. Vivek narrated him everything he knew. Tarun listened to him very carefully. He told Vivek that first, he would visit his house to check if Meera was actually having some ghost encounters or it was something else. He informed Vivek to call him when the ghost was in his wife's body
Meera opened the door and saw a stranger standing next to her husband. Vivek introduced Tarun as a guy who dealt in CCTV cameras. Vivek told Meera that he had decided to install some CCTV cameras in the house. Tarun installed the cameras in his desired places and asked Meera for a glass of water. Without being getting noticed, Tarun poured that glass of water in a bottle and place securely in his bag. He then asked Vivek to come with him downstairs to show him his parking lot so as they can also place a camera there. Vivek followed him downstairs.
In the parking lot, Tarun took out the bottle in which he poured the water and added a few drops of a solution he carried in his bag, to Vivek's astonishment, the water turned red, which was a proof that Meera was indeed possessed by a spirit. Tarun then opened his laptop to monitor activities of the ghost. He got stunned when he wasn't able to tap the movements of the ghost as the CCTV camera wasn't showing any footage wherever Meera went. Tarun told Vivek that they have to know about the past of the spirit to find out the solution to their problem.
To find out about the sobbing girl it was very important that Meera should not be present in the house. Vivek called one of his friends and asked her to take Meera for shopping. Meera had read Vivek's message so she decided to do whatever Vivek wanted her to do. As soon as she left, Vivek called Tarun who was waiting in the parking. Tarun bought somethings with him and asked him to bring something which Meera used, for example, her clothes and jewelery. Vivek was asked to switch off his phone as Tarun didn't want anything to disturb them.
Tarun did inform Vivek about the kind of activities they may encounter during the session. He drew a big circle with a white powder. In the center, he placed Meera's belongings and drew a smaller circle with sindoor around them. Tarun warned him not to leave his hands under any circumstances and asked him to pay attention to every little detail he saw during the session. Tarun lit a candle and brunt an incense and signaled Vivek to come inside the circle and hold his hands.
Vivek followed him. Tarun started chanting something, Vivek could not understand anything but felt some change in the surroundings. He heard a lot of murmurers and then screams, suddenly he saw some figures in their bedroom, he looked at Tarun who was still chanting his mantras with their eyes closed. Vivek was not weak-kneed, but the screams made him hold Tarun's hand tightly. He saw ugly figures, ghosts encircling around them in the air who tried to grab them but could not touch them. He heard Meera screaming for help, this time Tarun clutched his hand tightly.
The whole thing was a dreadful experience for Vivek but he didn't want to give up in any case. Slowly everything settled down and they could see a home similar to theirs except the wall dividing the bedroom and the dining area. They felt like they have time traveled and reached the same home but in the different time. They saw people talking and then the entire scene changed and they could see two human figures talking in the bedroom. The male was shouting at the female figure. Then he started hitting her, he came into the kitchen while dragging the female.
He took the kitchen knife, placed the female's hand on the counter and with one sharp blow cut her finger. There was blood splatter in the whole kitchen area. Everything disappeared only sobs of the girl could be heard which turned into screams followed by an uneasy silence. Tarun once again started chanting some mantras and after few seconds he opened his eyes. He let go of Vivek's hands and told him that they were done for this session. Tarun collected all the white powder and sindoor in different packets. He asked Vivek to bath before Meera comes back. Tarun left the apartment and promised to call the next day.
Next day Tarun called Vivek and inquired if anyone else knew about the couple they saw during the session. Vivek told him that the owner of this apartment might know them as he warned him before renting this apartment but he overlooked it as earlier he didn't believe in spirits and ghosts. After meeting the owner, they got to know that the husband had an abusive relationship with his wife and never treated her with love and care.
The wife committed suicide by jumping from the building. On asking about the last rituals, he told that the husband did perform the last rituals of the wife but he too was found dead in the apartment after few months after battling with depression. He also informed the two that no tenant lived there more than few months as they witnessed paranormal activities until Vivek and Meera. Now it was clear that the soul wasn't there to take revenge but to fulfill the desires which she could not fulfill when she was alive. Meera wasn't home when Vivek came back. He thought that Meera should also know about the truth behind the main aim of the wicked spirit. He took out Meera's personal diary and started writing. The sobbing girl was not smiling anymore.

India's top court has declared the 1400-year-old Shariat practice, which allows Muslim men to instantly divorce their wives by just saying 'talaq' [an Arabic word for divorce] three times, unconstitutional by ruling that the arbitrary and whimsical mode of ending marriage violated Muslim women's fundamental right to equality.
Five senior judges of different faiths sat on the petition brought by five Muslim women who had experienced the bitter and unjust divorce procedure. After deliberating for three months, the judges gave a unanimous verdict banning instant talaq. Now, the government must amend the sections of India's Muslim personal law that allows the practice to continue.
According to the practice, men simply have to utter the words, write them down or send them via social media, email or text to break the marriage bond.
In 2015, Shayara Bano from the state of Uttarakhand petitioned the Supreme Court that her husband of 15 years sent her a letter with talaq written three times on it and left her. Four other four Muslim women also brought similar petitions before the top court, seeking an end to the practice they described as discriminatory.
India is not the only country where triple talaq has generated public debate. The practice has been banned in over 20 Muslim countries, including India's two neighbors – Pakistan and Bangladesh.
After the ruling, India's Muslim Law Board admitted that the practice is wrong, but said it opposed the court's intervention in the matter as the Muslim community in the country should be given the opportunity to tackle it.
However, progressive Muslims and human rights activists welcomed the ruling. Activist Feroze Mithiborwala told local media: "This is the demand of ordinary Muslim women for over 70 years and it's time for this country to hear their voices."
Asmita Basu, programmes director at Amnesty International India, also expressed satisfaction, calling on the government to end all forms of discriminatory laws against women:
"We welcome the Supreme Court judgment. Triple talaq is a discriminatory practice that violates women's right to equality, and has devastated the lives of many Muslim women. The Supreme Court's bar on this regressive practice is a step forward for women's rights in India. We urge the government to repeal all religious family laws that violate women's right to equality, without exception."

Lower Chehalis / Johns river fall Chinook: How to catch Chinook Salmon on the John's River and Chehalis River
This fishery is located in the Grays Harbor (Chehalis River)
estuary, & is accessible from at least 3 launches, listed are, starting at the
downriver one first.
(1) Westport launch --Port of Grays Harbor
(2) Johns River launch WDFW
(3) 28th Street Boat Launch -- Port of Grays Harbor
photo by Bud's Fishing Guide Service
Westport launch It would
probably be best for the larger boats to launch at Westport, as at Johns River,
the ramp is slightly steep & runs out at a low tide. The launch at Westport is
next to the Coast Guard Station, go south on N Montesano Street, (the
main street leading to the dock area) then at the Hungry Whale gas station/bait
shop at the intersection of Wilson Ave., take a right to its end. The parking
lot will be on the right, with the launch straight ahead.
This is a good 2 lane blacktop ramp with docks, and another ramp on the north of the north dock that is not paved as far down, but still very usable. The launch fee is $5.00. There is plenty of paved parking available.
Johns River launch is on
south side of the river, on the old road just east of the concrete bridge at
Markham. Coming from Aberdeen, you cross this bridge & then take the next road
to the left, which is a short tie-in road to the old hiway which parallels the
newer road you just left, this will take you back to the river & the WDFW
launch. After going under the bridge & entering the bay you will have to hang a
right near where a few boats are docked to stay in the channel. And you need to
run about a mile out a narrow shallow (5 ft) channel to reach the fishing
area. There are hemlock poles pushed into the bottom to mark the channel out to
the south channel of the Chehalis. A car-topper boat could be fished here if
you launched from this launch, as you are coming into the upriver fishing area
from the East & with a shorter run & less exposure.
28th Street Boat Launch, this launch is in East Hoquiam, and will be on the upper- most section of the fishing area. It is operated by the Port of Grays Harbor. Go West on Simpson Ave, take a left at 28th Street; follow 1/2 mile to end at parking area & boat ramp.
When you fish Under most estuary fishing you normally will be fishing the upper half of the incoming tide, which should flush the fish into the estuary. However as with many fisheries, the fish sometimes write their our timetables & they can be caught on any time of the tide. It has been observed by veteran fishermen here that the best bite sometimes comes after the high slack & up to about 2 hours after that.
It also makes a difference if the weather is dry for some time, or if it has been raining. If it has been dry, then the fish tend to stack up in the bay. If it starts to rain, they will move thru & upriver rather rapidly.
Some large Chinook (40# +) are occasionally pulled from these areas when the season permits an opener. The Chinook here would probably be either the Chehalis, Satsop or the Humptulips fish.
There are 2 different fishing areas to choose from To get to either, from Westport, you go out of the boat basin, head left (north) to "A" buoy.
Buoy 13 Here the heading toward the 2 areas split, straight on out & slightly west is buoy #13. This time of the year the season's western boundary is at this buoy. There is considerable fishing that takes place immediately east (upriver) from this location, as usually noticed by the concentration of boats. This area can be either mooching or trolling. Water depth here will be in the 40' range .
Johns River The other area is upriver near the mouth of the "south channel" which Johns River empties into. For this area you head out as before, but instead of heading left toward the ocean at "A" buoy, you hang a right & start up the river. At low tide there will be Whitcomb Flats (sand) on your right, so you will have to follow the main shipping channel buoys up the river. From buoy "14" all the others upriver are in a straight line to the bend at buoy "21". There are large range marker piling on both sides of South Channel / Johns River entrance.
The fishing is normally done either near the main shipping channel of the Chehalis near the South Channel (SC) buoy, or in the south channel itself to near & above the actual mouth of Johns River. Johns River empties into the south channel at piling marker "8" about 1/2 mile east (upstream) from where the south channel empties into the main channel. The south channel is smaller & shallower & it condenses at low tide as it gets farther upriver toward Aberdeen. The main channel bends at the range marker piling & runs upriver. Fishing in the main river usually will be from buoy #17 to #27.
Ocean Shores Side During this fishery many of the salmon are heading for the Humptulips River. These fish will tend to take a left & head toward the Humptulips, which takes them past the Ocean Shores marina area. There is a somewhat wide deep area (from 40-60') from here up to the Ocean Shores entrance that is fishable. The buoys here will be #1 & #3 right off the marina entrance. The channel to the Humptulips heads for Goose Island & is about 15' deep with a slot about 30' at Goose Island. Here, it may be best to fish on the incoming tide, which flushes the new fish into the river system.
The method of fishing seems to be trolling, one thought is to keeping your bait NEAR the bottom. Other fishermen seem to prefer about mid-depth & deeper. So take your pick. This is shallow enough that downriggers will be to much of a hassle & normally are not used.
The preferred gear usually is a standard mooching slider rig, or a 3 way swivel or a sinker slider on the mainline to which a lighter leader of about 12-18" is attached to a round sinker, with a large purple or black label cut plug herring pulled behind a medium or large Fishflash. Some fishermen use a Les Davis crippled herring bonnet and use smaller bait that can equal the length of a large cut plug. You usually do not need a long leader here as the water is not clear, a 36" or 48" leader has proven itself. Also a 40-50# leader is used many times, as you are fishing shallow (15-30') & they have no place to go but run, and those big Chinook can cut a 20# leader with their teeth quite easily. You may want to inject those herring with scent, since the water is slightly murky.
Many times you will not detect the dramatic hit when these chinook pick up the bait, so be watchful of your rod.
You will also pick up some Coho here. There is a hatchery on the Satsop River, but also there are many wild fish from the other rivers that have no hatchery in the rest of the Chehalis system. So check the regs. carefully each year as to what you are allowed to keep. It changes year to year, from no season at all, to 1 Chinook & 1 clipped Coho, or even 1 wild Coho for the year 2000, depending on the estimated returns.
You will be inside the estuary enough that even a normal afternoon wind will not really effect you in the fishing area. You might however encounter more wind chop heading back to the dock.
The one thing here, is that if the salmon have lockjaw, a well prepared fisherman could try for sturgeon. You have your choice of fishing the sand flats, or the deeper holes. The usual bait for these is either smelt or sandshrimp, however your salmon bait (herring or anchovies) can be also used
GPS Locations. This time of the year you can run into fog in the morning, for those of you with GPS the locations are listed below. The following numbers should be good for all but the last 2, as they were taken physically after Selective Availability was removed from the system. Readings for buoy 27 & 32 were taken off a chart.
|Buoy "A"
|Buoy "14"
|Buoy "17"
|Buoy "21"
|Buoy "SC"
|John's River #8
|Buoy "24"
|Buoy "25"
|Buoy "27"
|Buoy "32"
Grass can be a problem at times & get enough on the line to foul the swivels, therefore creating twisted gear. It is advisable to pull your gear every 15 min. or so to check it. If troubled with seaweed or grass on your line, adding a golf tee on the mainline as your uppermost gear, will help divert many weeds off. The tapered small portion of this golf tee seems to allow the weeds to be passed off, where a knot at a swivel seems to stop & hold the weeds.
Crabbing, If you drop off a crab pot, remember that you usually will be going out at low tide & need to allow for plenty of line to compensate for the incoming tide plus any current that accompanies it. Otherwise you may have to go back later & pick it up on another low tide. There are commercial crab pots in the area north of buoys "15" to "21". This water is about 20' deep for a quite large flat area here. Another area to crab would be hang a right coming out of the boat basin & run up Elk River a short ways.
Ships, There is not much commercial shipping traffic in this river & the large ships that do use it tend to lay & wait for the high tide before heading up or downriver. However you may encounter a barge being towed at any time. If there happens to be a commercial traffic coming thru, give them enough room, as the channel is not overly wide.

Monday, April 04, 2016 - 11:20:58 (VOVworld) - The last day of the lunar year is very important to Vietnamese people. The feast eaten in the evening of this sacred day tends to be more abundant and elaborate than usual, as it will be offered to ancestors at the family altar. Today VOV explores this beautiful and meaningful custom of the Vietnamese people. Vietnamese people start preparing for the last meal of the Lunar year from the early morning. Women would go to markets to buy the finest ingredients for the meal while men would be cleaning the altar and preparing the offerings to their ancestors including a five-fruit tray. Southerners prefer sugar-apples, coconuts, papayas, mangos and Fig fruits for this five-fruit tray as they sound like "wishing for enough fortune" in Vietnamese, while people in the North have a totally different way of choosing fruits. Nguyen Vu Thanh Quy in Hanoi, said: "In my family, we usually start preparing everything since the morning. … [Read more...] about The Sacred Last Meal of The Year Cultural Rendezvous

An invitation to eat in Hanoi
The city I've been living in for the better part of a decade is turning 1000 years-old in October. Racing toward the millenium, Hanoi continues to be an exciting if chaotic experience that I actively participate in, though sometimes from a distance. I find that I have lots of moments in this city. Moments of clarity. Moments where I'm transported to the past. Moments where a scene is truly something to behold. And then there's madness again and the world's going too fast, and Hanoi's spreading up and out but it's not like watching grass grow. I feel that if I don't get out the way, they'll be entombing me in bricks and mortar, giving me a lick of paint and setting up a teashop out front. Before that happens and before Hanoi completes its total morphing into just another big Asian metropolis minus its distinctive wet markets and street eateries, its corners of crumbling colony, its conical hat-wearing vendors, I want to issue an invitation to anyone who's reading to … [Read more...] about An invitation to eat in Hanoi

In November last year, we were treated to Flare 2016 r2. With this release came an end to the tradition of releasing major versions in March. Now new product features will no longer be saved until the release date, but they are released when ready. That is why we now – not more than three months after 2016 r2 – can get acquainted with Flare 2017.
What's new in MadCap Flare 2017?
For me, the two improvements that stand out are the Clean XHTML output and the integration with the new MadCap Central product. In the new XHTML output, all MadCap specific tags are stripped and the output is no longer dependent on other MadCap generated files. This helps enormously when you want to repurpose your content in other systems.
With MadCap Central there is finally a content-management-in-the-cloud offering available from MadCap. Although Flare is still required to create and edit your content, Central has some interesting options available. And although I'm still not convinced to what Central has to offer I am very enthusiastic about the ability to move the build process from my laptop to the server in the cloud. I'll come back to Central in a future post.
Do you want to know more about MadCap Flare 2017? The video below will provide you with a complete overview of everything that is new. Below the video, you'll find some links with even more information.

Board President's Message
Mrs. Darlene Gray Everett
Dear Parents/Guardians, Students and Community Stakeholders,
Welcome back on behalf of the Board of Education for Dolton School District 149. We are excited about the opening of the 2018-2019 school year and look forward to Monday, August 20th as the first full day of school for all students. At the end of every school year, we reflect on the voices of our children through electronic surveys, letters and phone calls to find out what they liked about programs and what they want to see more of for the next school year. The board is amazed at how intelligent our children are and we appreciate them voicing their opinions about the programs they want for their schools.
The board is in full support of the District's Theme, "Re-Ignite Your Passion." Even your best work can wear you down. Teaching is a tough job but someone must do this great work. It our hope that everyone will begin the new school year feeling inspired and motivated to do better than last school year. It is our goal to create a climate culture that is positive and conducive for learning, focus on the safety of our children and to find talented skilled professionals to support the mental health of our students and school community.
A lot has happened over the summer as we are preparing for opening day. Dolton School District 149's Board of Education has officially approved an Extended School Day for the 2018-2019 school year. At the January 25th board meeting, the board signed off on a schedule that extends the school day by 30-minutes each day for the district's five elementary schools and three middle schools. Middle School students will begin the school day next year from 8:20 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. and Elementary students will begin from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. We have added 30 minutes to the end of the school day. Our District Leadership Team has designed a plan for the extra 30-minutes for instruction creating a universal Multi-Tier System of Support in reading and math across the district. This will be in full effect on the first day of school.
We are also excited about being able to restore some half days on the calendar to afford our teachers and administrators time for professional development and school improvement plan activities. Students in the middle school half day is 8:20 am- 11:20 am and the elementary schools is 9:00 am-12:00 pm. Principals will forward letters home in advance and phone blasts will follow to ensure all parents are fully aware. The district's annual calendar is also available on the website.
All schools in the district will have brand new HVAC Controls to ensure all classrooms are heated during the winter and cool during the summer months. In order to have a more efficient transportation program the district has worked with First Student Transportation Company to use new technology to create the safest way to transport children to and from school. Anyone with transportation questions may contact your child's principal Monday through Friday between 10:00 am – 3:00 pm. The Bus stops are the same as last year. Please check the website and your child's school for the bus stops and times.
Please join us for our Annual Back to School Carnival Saturday August 25, 2018 from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm. We want to use this event to celebrate the beginning of a new school year. Bring the whole family out for lots of food, fun, book bags and raffles.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve and we look forward to working with every parent, every child and every stakeholder to help each child reach their highest potential!
We Believe. . . Excellence, Humanization, and Pride!

'Osama tried to end differences within jihadist movement'
WASHINGTON: In a letter to Hakimullah Mehsud, Osama bin Laden advised the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader not to take measures that would further divide an already unwieldy jihadist movement.
The letter the Al Qaeda founder wrote to Mehsud on Dec 4, 2010 is included in 103 documents the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence released on Wednesday.
In one of the documents, Bin Laden claims that the jihadi "work in Pakistan is almost self-sufficient".
"There are many operating groups and local Taliban groups who have joined, and there is Tehreek-i-Taliban or those who did not join (us). Those who did not join are no less than those who have joined (us)," he writes.
But the letter he wrote to Mehsud shows that both he and the TTP leader often worried about the differences within the jihadist movement in Pakistan.
Apparently, Bin Laden was responding to a letter Mehsud had sent to him earlier, listing a set of measures that the TTP leader believed could help organise the movement.
"We looked at the movement list you sent to us, asking us for our opinion. We have previously written to brother Qari (Husayn)... and had asked him to inform you of the matter, but I do not know if he did or not."
Bin Laden advises Mehsud not to try to "control the movement", telling him that his experience showed that such moves have a negative impact and would produce results "different to what we need".
"It will become a reason for the flare-up of many problems that you do not need now," says the Al Qaeda leader to his TTP counterpart, promising to send him a detailed response later.
In a letter sent earlier, Qari Husayn informs Bin Laden that there were groups and individuals within the jihadist movement who were causing differences and infighting.
Mehsud and Qari Husayn had serious differences and their groups often attacked each other. The documents indicate that the Al Qaeda leader was playing a reconciliatory role between the two TTP leaders.
Qari Husayn was the organiser of TTP's suicide bombing squads. He was killed on Oct 7, 2010, apparently by a US drone.
Bin Laden's letter to Mehsud acknowledges that he had planned to send a detailed letter to Husayn but could not, because Husayn had been killed.
Hakimullah Mehsud died on Nov 1, 2013, also by a US drone.
The letters and other documents were part of what US officials called a "treasure trove" that their troops picked up when they invaded Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad on May 2, 2011. The Al Qaeda founder was killed in that attack.
The declassified documents include letters written by members of Bin Laden's immediate family, who wrote to each other, and correspondence between Al Qaeda chief and other members of his network and leaders of other militant organisations in Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Middle East.
The US intelligence directorate also released a list of Bin Laden's digital collection of English-language books, think-tank reports and US government documents, numbering 266 in total. These include history books, war reporting by American journalists like Bob Woodward, articles on military policy analysis and Islamic theology.
The documents were released a week after a prominent US journalist, Seymour Hersh, wrote a 10,000-word piece, questioning the official version of the US raid on Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad.
While assessing the militant movement in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Bin Laden says "the mother organisation (Al Qaeda)" had both immigrants and local supporters.
"We have Arabs, Uzbeks, Turks, Turkistanis, Balkans, Russians of all kinds, Germans, and others. Unfortunately, there is so much chaos on the ground," he says.
"Also, there is a problem with some immigrants, especially the Arab ones... in our jihadi arenas... we suffer from unjustified divisions and alliances, which I call the fake commandants," he writes.
"This is the case even in our arena in Khurasan (Afghanistan and Pakistan), in spite of being the mother arena and the best arena, as I mentioned before."
He says that Arab militants "conduct jihad according to their moods... they do not abide by the rules... usually, these people are impulsive and... (when) problems arise they start saying things such as 'we are marginalised', if they see, for example, that we did not appoint them fast enough in the positions that they want".
In Afghanistan, writes the Al Qaeda chief, the Taliban "almost do not need us. We are providing only moral and symbolic support, but in spite of that, our participation is good and important".
The biggest threat the militants face in the Pak-Afghan region, "is the problem of the spying war and spying aircraft", says Bin Laden.
"This benefited the enemy greatly and led to the killing of many jihadi cadres, leaders, and others."
And then "there is the financial problem, which is a problem in jihad whether or not it is a time of hardship", he adds.
In a July 2010 letter Bin Laden sent to Al Qaeda in Yemen, he urges the group to make peace with the government and focus on the United States.
"The purpose is to focus on striking inside America and its interest abroad, especially oil-producing countries, to agitate public opinion and to force US to withdraw from Afghanistan and Iraq," he argues.
In a commentary on the situation in the Muslim world, he notes that the uprising in Tunisia had ended the myth that "there could not be a change in the ruling party, aside from one of two means: either a military coup or by the presence of foreign forces".
He also urges Arabs to learn from the Iranian revolution, "whose leaders insisted on freeing the country of the regime completely".

Families Could Act on Gun Violence Warning Signs Under Raoul Measure
SPRINGFIELD, IL – State Senator Kwame Raoul (D-Chicago) helped advance a measure Wednesday that puts in place a system for families to report individuals who pose a risk of using a gun to commit a violent crime.
Raoul, the legislation's chief co-sponsor, argued during the Senate Executive Committee against a former lobbyist for the National Rifle Association who now represents a group of gun dealers.
"In order to stem the unacceptable tide of gun violence in our country, we have to attack the problem from every angle," Raoul said. "Again and again, we hear that there were warning signs before a mass shooting. If we can do even one thing to prevent these tragedies, we absolutely must."
The Lethal Violence Order of Protection Act allows a family member or a law enforcement officer to alert the courts that they believe an individual poses a significant risk of self-injury or danger to the public and has access to a firearm.
If the court agrees, a judge can require that person to temporarily turn over any firearms in his or her possession.
Raoul will introduce a companion bill that would allow schools, churches and places of business to grant similar orders of protection against individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others.
Senate Bill 559 passed the Senate Executive Committee and will move to the Senate for further debate.

Have you seen the commercial for a popular water filter in which one man sarcastically exclaims "Does anyone want to drink lead? A fresh cup of lead!" Many of us are concerned with the lead levels in our water. But how often do we consider the other sources of dietary lead? Up until now, I haven't personally given it much thought!
Dr. Greger (an expert in research data) recently revealed the studies which show how bone broth, eggs, and certain popular supplements may contribute to lead poisoning and the subsequent host of medical problems that can result.
In his video titled How Much Lead is in Organic Chicken Soup Bone Broth, Dr. Greger explains the high levels of lead in certain supplements (beginning of video), eggs (3:14 in video) and bone broth (4:50 in video).
And is this video titled Lead Contamination in Bone Broth, he presents the data which asserts there is no such thing as a "safe level" of lead exposure; once in the body, lead builds up in the bones such that it may take 30 years to get rid of half of it. Because lead is sequestered in the bones, boiling chicken bones to produce broth (often promoted by Paleo advocates) results in a 10-fold increase in lead – even with organic, free-range chickens.
Protect yourself from unnecessary, toxic heavy metals in your diet. Check out 'Plan A' Diet food pyramid and contact me if you need help getting started.
Realize that the Lord alone is God.He made us, and we are his.
We are his people and the sheep in his care. (Psalm 100:3, GW)

Since childhood, we have been made aware of the importance of water consumption for our health. We learned in school, for example, that about 70% of the human body is composed of water. Water acts on the regulation of body temperature, digestion, and transport of nutrients, the operation of the brain activity, the performance of the nervous system… in short, in the functioning of all systems of our body. We are also aware that because it is such an important element and that it has so many functions, it must be constantly replaced; after all, only with the breath, urine, evacuation, and salivation, we lose about 1.8 liters of water per day! So to keep the body healthy, we need to consume water!
But which water should we consume?
Bottled water is a practical solution to keep the body always hydrated and offers more safety for our health because it is free of microorganisms that can contaminate it. Bottled water unites the benefits of water with the functionality of salts, essential for the health, beauty, and well-being of the body. Bottled mineral water is considered beneficial to health by its chemical composition. The mineral waters are classified according to the chemical composition, the gases present and the temperature. Beautiful skin, the smile on face and healthy body.
With a thousand and one utility, water does more than moisturizing. In general, it is responsible for the balance and proper functioning of the body. If the water is bottled, better still: with each gulp, you also take advantage of the inorganic salts that can aid in several questions, from the decrease of the stress to the combat of free radicals. A good alternative to enhance the contribution of water to maintaining good health is the consumption of bottled mineral water. The mineral water comes from natural or artificial collected sources. It has the chemical composition and physical-chemical properties different from the waters we normally take. This causes it to have therapy action and restore important minerals to our body. Learn about some of the benefits of bottled mineral water:
1) Leaves skin more beautiful -Promotes revitalization of the cells and mucous membranes
On the skin, this results in a hydration from the inside out. Therefore, it is the cheapest and most effective method of preventing dryness and peeling. • Detoxifies the body – It aids in the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infection, as water stimulates the functioning of the kidneys and bladder, which helps to "clean" the urinary tract. It also aids in breathing as it dilutes the mucus, which facilitates the expectoration of laying waste.
2) Helps to lose weight – In addition to reducing fluid retention as it puts the kidneys to work, water also brings a feeling of satiety. Thus, drink two or three glasses before a meal helps control appetite. Not to mention that it has no calories.
3) Maintains a good mood because it contains minerals, such as magnesium, that help to reduce stress; • It softens cellulite and stretch marks because it improves blood circulation;
4) It gives more disposition because it intensifies the transport of minerals and oxygen in the body;
5) Improves concentration and memory because it is essential in the production of neurotransmitters that help brain processes;
6) Regulates body temperature – During physical exercises or when the weather is very hot, the body's water is released by sweating to regulate the temperature and prevent our body from overheating or abrupt thermal changes;
7) Absorption and transport of nutrients – Water helps in the absorption of nutrients and glucose. In addition, the liquid helps in transporting these substances through the bloodstream; Without a doubt, bottled water is the best option to hydrate your body wherever you go.

According to consumer reports, the price of electric ovens can have little to do with the performance of the appliance. Wall ovens range from $4-7,000 for high end double wall units but can go much higher. Self cleaning single wall ovens at the low end can be purchased in the $500 range.
The top five manufactures sited in the 2009 Buyers Guide are Thermador, Viking, Bosch, GE and Electrolux. The top ten brands and models included Kenmore, Frigidaire and Whirlpool. KitchenAid Superba was rated twelfth. The ratings for these appliances reflect capacity, baking, broiling and self-cleaning ability of the specific model. All rated models are electric but gas wall ovens are also available.
I have chosen to focus on two wall oven models in the mid price range with an overall score of "very good" in the 2009 Consumer Report Buying Guide and one higher priced unit. I have also included information on the KitchenAid 24" double convection oven and the GE Profile Advantium SpeedCook Wall Oven.
The most common size for today's wall oven is 30 inches. Most styles and models are also available with a 27 inch width and some as wide as 36 inches. I am currently working on an older kitchen where the existing cabinets require a 24 inch double wall unit. The availability of the smaller width will be addressed with each of the five brands/models individually.
Consumer Reports claims that the higher price for a Bosch and the Kenmore (Sears) gives you well rounded performance and a temperature probe. GE is cheaper but the cooking/heating is not as even. Frigidaire Gallery is also cheaper but less capacity.
