* The daring TL continues to be a bargain when compared to pricier models from BMW, Cadillac, INFINITI, Lexus and others. There's a bit more room for rear passengers, and the larger engine and all-wheel-drive make the new SH-AWD version very entertaining on twisty roads, as well as supremely confident on slick surfaces.

Radiation therapy is the use of X-rays to destroy cancer cells and
shrink tumors. Radiation damages the genetic material of cells in the area
being treated, leaving the cells unable to continue to grow. Although radiation
damages normal cells as well as cancer cells, the normal cells can repair
themselves. The cancer cells cannot.
Radiation is also used to control pain by destroying a growing
tumor that is invading or interfering with normal tissue, such as when a tumor
presses on bones, nerves, or other organs. This may be done with radiation to part of the body or, in rare cases, with radiation to the whole body. Or you may be given a shot with a radioactive medicine.
Radiation therapy can reduce pain by shrinking a tumor. And for cancer that has spread to the bones, walking and moving around may be less painful.footnote 1
Radiation therapy is used to control pain when a growing tumor
invades or interferes with normal tissues, such as bones, nerves, or other
Radiation therapy can reduce pain. One or more treatments may be needed to relieve pain.
Side effects are common with radiation therapy and may depend on
what area of the body receives radiation. Side effects typically go away after
radiation therapy is over. Side effects can include:
While radiation therapy may not cure the cancer that is causing
pain, it may reduce symptoms and slow the spread of the disease.

It's been a while since rental housing dominated a city council meeting, but the topic was widely discussed Monday when two property owners spoke about the condition of certain structures in town.
For Larry and Jean Hardy, the problem is a combination of high taxes and low property upkeep.
The property that the Hardys most recently renovated is located next to the former Blanchard Hospital on N. Summit Street, a building that Larry Hardy says is a beautiful structure but in need of much repair.
"It needs to be condemned if it's not cleaned up," he said. "You need to call the health department."
Hardy believes an increase in the number of rental units in recent years has had a negative impact on the city.
Council member Keith Pennington said there is no legal basis for controlling the number of rental units.
"We have to make the landlords accountable," councilor Peggy Decker said. "Who would want to buy your house next to the hospital?" she asked the Hardys.
Mayor Russ Sutherland said that some landlords sell houses on a land contract and even some apartments are sold as condo units, thereby skirting the city's rental inspection program. The land contracts often fall through and the property is back on the market again.

Bio-inspired design may lead to more energy efficient windows
|(Nanowerk News) University of Toronto Engineering professor Ben Hatton (MSE) is turning to nature to find a way to make windows more energy efficient.
|In a recent article in Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells ("An artificial vasculature for adaptive thermal control of windows"), Hatton and colleagues at Harvard University describe a novel process to cut down on heat loss during the winter and keep buildings cool during the summer. Their "bio-inspired approach to thermal control for cooling (or heating) building window surfaces" calls for attaching optically clear, flexible elastomer sheets, bonded to regular glass window panes.
|A. Schematic of the composite window structure. B. The artificial vascular network layer. (Image courtesy of University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering)
|The elastomer sheets, made from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) have channels running through them through which room temperature water flows. The technique has resulted in 7 to 9 degrees of cooling in laboratory experiments and is effective both at small and large scales, Hatton and his colleagues said.
|"Our results show that an artificial vascular network within a transparent layer, composed of channels on the micrometer to millimeter scale, and extending over the surface of a window, offers an additional and novel cooling mechanism for building windows and a new thermal control tool for building design," he said.
|Hatton noted that windows account for about 40 per cent of building energy costs. To find a solution to the problem, he turned to nature. "In contrast to man-made thermal control systems, living organisms have evolved an entirely different and highly efficient mechanism to control temperature that is based on the design of internal vascular networks. For example, blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow close to the skin surface to increase convective heat transfer, whereas they constrict and limit flow when our skin is exposed to cold."
|He said the technique could also be applied to solar panels, increasing their efficiency. He also noted that as the water flows through the panels, it gets hotter, and this hot water could be used to supply heated water to an existing hot water system or to a heat storage system.

In an extraordinarily tight race, Hurricane Sandy has forced President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney to toss out carefully mapped-out itineraries.
CELINA, Ohio -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama frantically sought to close the deal with voters with precious few days left in an incredibly close race as this year's October surprise - an unprecedented storm menacing the East Coast - wreaked havoc on their best-laid plans.
Ever mindful of his narrow path to the requisite 270 electoral votes, Romney looked to expand his map, weighing an intensified effort in traditionally left-leaning Minnesota. Obama sought to defend historically Democratic turf as the race tightened heading into the final week.
Wary of being seen as putting their political pursuits ahead of public safety, the two White House hopefuls reshuffled their campaign plans as the storm approached. Both candidates were loath to forfeit face time with voters in battleground states like Virginia that are likely to be afflicted when Hurricane Sandy, a winter storm and a cold front collide to form a freak hybrid storm.
"The storm will throw havoc into the race," said Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va.
Obama, preparing to depart for Florida Sunday, a day early to beat the storm, got an update from disaster relief officials before speaking by phone to affected governors and mayors.
"Anything they need, we will be there," Obama said. "And we are going to cut through red tape. We are not going to get bogged down with a lot of rules. We want to make sure that we are anticipating and leaning forward."
An opportunity for Obama to demonstrate steady leadership in the face of crisis was offset by the risk that the federal government, as in past emergencies, could be faulted for an ineffective response, with the president left to take the fall.
Obama canceled campaign stops Monday in Virginia and Tuesday in Colorado to monitor the storm but planned to go forward with other events Monday in Florida and Ohio, with former President Bill Clinton at his side. He planned to return to Ohio on Wednesday with stops in Cincinnati and Akron, followed by a Thursday swing through Springfield, Ohio; Boulder, Colo.; and Las Vegas.
Romney nixed three stops in up-for-grabs Virginia on Sunday, opting instead to campaign with running mate Paul Ryan in Ohio before heading Monday to Wisconsin, where the former Massachusetts governor has chipped away at Obama's lead.
"Let's today when we get home put in our prayers the people who are in the East Coast in the wake of this big storm that's coming," Ryan said in Celina, Ohio.
Also vexing to Obama and Romney was the prospect that bad weather could hinder early voting and get-out-the-vote efforts.
"Obviously, we want unfettered access to the polls, because we think the more people that come out, the better we're going to do," said David Axelrod, a top adviser to Obama's campaign. "To the extent that it makes it harder, that's a source of concern."
In Virginia, one of the most competitive states in the race, election officials eased absentee voting requirements for those affected by the storm.
"The state board of elections is already planning for extended hours in advance for absentee voting, and it's now a priority, moved up to the same level as hospitals and police stations to have power restored," said Gov. Bob McDonnell, a top Romney ally.
Getting voters to the polls - whether early or on Election Day - is one of the few elements of the race still in the candidates' control. Although Romney and Obama are in a close contest for the popular vote, the president continues to have the upper hand in the most contested states.
Reince Priebus, the GOP chairman, pointed to recent gains for Romney that have lifted him to a virtual tie in most national polls. "The challenger always wins in a tie race," he said.
With time running out, both campaigns appeared to be fine-tuning their map of the states where they're campaigning the hardest.
A senior Republican official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to disclose private deliberations, said Sunday that the Romney team was seriously discussing sending Romney, Ryan or both to Minnesota during the final week. The state hasn't gone Republican in the presidential race since 1972, but recent polling shows a tighter race there than most anticipated.
In a flashback to the 2008 race, Obama's campaign announced that Biden will campaign Thursday in Pennsylvania, reprising a visit to his hometown of Scranton that he made during the final week four years ago. Pennsylvania, too, has been Democratic territory in recent years, but Romney has continued to contest the state with an advertising assist from the Republican Party.
Axelrod, Priebus and McDonnell spoke on CNN's "State of the Union." Warner spoke on "Fox News Sunday."

"This was just before World War II, and I didn't understand how we could be thinking of going to war to save Jewish lives in Europe, while at the same time Jews could not live openly in our neighborhood."
Bill Durland's '53 (history) lifelong interest in human rights began in childhood when his parents explained to him why a beloved neighbor had changed his name from Herbinski to Herbert before buying a home in Scarsdale, N.Y.
"This was just before World War II," explains Durland,"and I didn't understand how we could be thinking of going to war to save Jewish lives in Europe, while at the same time Jews could not live openly in our neighborhood." In 1966, he refused to join his home country club because they excluded Jews in segregationist Virginia.
Now 80, Durland, a professor of philosophy at Pikes Peace Community College, has spent his life advancing human rights and civil liberties. After graduating from Bucknell, he earned a law degree from Georgetown University, a master's in biblical theology and nonviolence from Notre Dame and a doctorate in political and religious philosophy from Union Graduate School at Antioch College.
Inspired by his membership in the Religious Society of Friends, he has championed the rights of Jews, African-Americans and conscientious objectors to the Iraq war, including the first two U.S. soldiers deported from Canada after having fled there to avoid fighting in the Iraq War. Since 1983, he and his wife, Genie, have made numerous visits to the Middle East and as human rights volunteers with Christian Peacemaker Teams in the West Bank since 2001.
The Durlands' commitment to these causes led to their involvement in events receiving worldwide attention. In late 2009, the Durlands joined 1,400 people from 43 countries for the International Gaza Freedom March. Durland says their goal was to challenge the Israeli military blockade of Gaza that has cut off supplies of basic necessities such as food and medicine to the population of 1.5 million. The Israeli government has justified its blockade by saying that humanitarian aid is a cover for funneling military supplies to Palestinian militias.
Durland is aware of the seeming contradiction of his efforts by fighting for the rights of both Jews and Palestinians. He recently published Immoral Wars and Illegal Laws: History, Religion, Militarism and Peacemaking in the Human Rights Struggle for Palestinian Independence (CreateSpace, 2011), which explores the conflict.
"Some of us have been criticized for 'taking sides,'" Durland says. "Our 'side' has always been justice."

Hebe Westcott - Teaching, General Teaching Projects in Nepal
Looking back on my two months in Nepal, I now realise how I could not have chosen anything more suited to me. I had just returned from a life-changing couple of months in Kenya, Africa. After arriving home in England, after working in the homeless shelter for children in Kenya, all I wanted to do was leave again, see more of the world, and meet more people across the world.
Asia was calling! I stumbled upon the Projects Abroad website and fell in love with the idea of teaching in Nepal. I booked it very quickly, and had practically planned the whole trip before really realising that I would be actually doing it. I decided to teach for a month and then spend the second on the conservation project, also arranged by Projects Abroad.
My expectations were, in many ways, non-existent. I was ready to throw myself into something new, and was very keen not to expect anything. Kenya had taught me that life throws all sorts of things at you, and the only way to deal with it is to take it step by step, and for me, Kathmandu was the next challenge.
I was so keen to witness the Nepalese culture, to meet inspiring teachers, locals, and children, and also like-minded volunteers, from whichever background, at whatever age. I packed, got on the plane, and was off. It was incredibly exciting.
Arriving in Kathmandu
I arrived in Kathmandu in the evening, and the sights, smells, crowds, streets and noise was elating. Winding through the traffic in a little minibus with the window down, my eyes wide and my mind buzzing, there was nowhere that I would rather have been.
After a night in a hotel, I was taken to my project after a briefing with one of the staff. I would be working in a Primary School in the outskirts of Kathmandu called Clark Himalayan Primary School, and living about half a mile from it, with my host mother and future friend, Sarala, and her family. I was introduced to this family, shown my room which I would share with five fantastic volunteers, and taken to my school.
As I walked along the street up to Clark, I really couldn't believe my luck. The mountains and hills surrounding Kathmandu and Bungmati were breath-taking. In the very distance dustings of snow could be seen on the summits of the highest peaks, and Kathmandu seemed to sit like a magical city in the midst of ever-protecting and imposing mountain range.
I couldn't wait to get up into the real mountains – the Himalayas – on my conservation project, but these smaller mountains would be quite sufficient for now! Clark itself stood on a hill looking out from the city, and was truly beautiful.

The children played in the courtyard outside with all sorts of local toys that I would come to know and love and their cheerful voices could be heard from well down the road. "Morning Hebe Mam" greeted me from every smiling face, every glorious morning as I worked for the four weeks, and it never failed to make me smile.
The lessons themselves were challenging, yet utterly rewarding, as I got to know the children, the needs, the interest and the style required. Having taught in Kenya was definitely a bonus and helped me get going, but I learned so much more there in Bungmati.
Naturally, volunteers grow very close to their host families, and I was no exception. I still Skype with Sarala, and I love to hear how she is getting on with new volunteers, and she loves to hear my news from England.
The volunteers that I met in Bungmati will never be forgotten – indeed, although we all went our separate ways, my friends from Denmark, Switzerland and Australia are still awesome! I was even lucky enough to meet a wonderful volunteer from London, which is so convenient.
The volunteers taught me as much as the project did and working through our highs and lows together brought us close. We learnt so much about ourselves and each other, that the whole experience became so fulfilling.
The children made my life content. Leaving was bittersweet. I found it much harder than I expected. I did, however, have the Himalayas calling me. How could I not be excited?
Himalayas Bound
Arriving in Pokhara by plane, I was treated to a preview of the beauties of the mountains to come. My feet ached for some hiking and adventure, and it started much more quickly than I could have dreamed!
I was met in a the hotel and I was told that, contrary to expectation, we would be leaving not only that day, but in that hour, for Ghandruk, the Himalayan Village where I would be spending the next five weeks! We set off without further ado, and the jeep that drove us up part of the way was filled with chatter for two full hours. The scenery was nothing short of spectacular, and the winding road seemed to take me closer and closer to paradise. Eventually the jeep pulled to a stop, and we got out. Time to hike!
To my shame my backpack was handed to a porter much older and seemingly weaker than myself, and although I showed my willingness, the incredibly strong woman carrying my bag shot off up the mountain. I was reminded that it was her job, and that I wouldn't make it up a third of the way with that on my back! I picked up my little backpack, and sheepishly followed my far more worthy guide up the mountain.
Conservation & Environment Project
Ghandruk is a very large village nestled in the Annapurna Conservation Area, perhaps the most beautiful part of the world. The hostel that I stayed in was called Namaste Hotel, and reserved specifically for Projects Abroad Volunteers. There were about eight of us when I first arrived, and we became extremely close. The time that I spent in Ghandruk was the happiest of my life. I felt so at one with the mountains, the people, the locals and the very air, and the time flew.
The conservation itself was fascinating. It included studies of bees, birds, mammals and butterflies, and I learnt so much. There was a great deal of walking which I loved, and the steps must not be scoffed at! Much of the walking was up (or down, but somehow there was way less down than up!) stone steps cut out of the mountain, enabling trade from village to village.
At weekends we did long hikes for up to three days to other areas of the Annapurna Conservation Area, and I would massively recommend the Poon Hill trek; a real challenge, but a view to die for. Yaks peppered our treks, and the illusive Himalayan Black Bear, Red Panda, and Snow Leopard kept us very hopeful, yet unrewarded. We saw a leopard cat though which was fantastic!
Back Home in London
The whole experience was amazing. I would gladly have remained in Namaste Hotel forever. I fell in love with the mountains and the people, and couldn't recommend the country more. I will certainly be heading back when I can. I was right to form no expectations – it surpassed any dream I could have had. The teaching project was challenging but memorable, and the conservation project was simply out of this world. Do it. You won't regret it.

Art in a Box
- By Michael Frank
- | From Bill Cosby, Autumn 94
Look around the office of any cigar smoking executive and you'll probably spot a humidor. And, whether the box is an antique or was recently manufactured, it will have several, seemingly de rigueur signature elements. It will be some shade of brown; It's shape will be square (or squarish); And, no matter how the gloss or lacquer highlights the grain of the wood, the humidor will be conservative and elemental. Just as the grass is green, a humidor (perhaps, reassuringly to some people) will never startle or excite the imagination.
Or so it always seemed. But just as cigar blends are now becoming more diverse with the advent of a wider cigar smoking public, humidors are also changing in shape, color and design. Since our humidor test nearly two years ago (see Cigar Aficionado, Winter, 1992) Dunhill and Elie Bleu-- manufacturers already well known for producing high-quality humidors--have made tremendous strides in technology and box construction.
Perhaps the most intricately crafted humidor today is made by David Linley Furniture Ltd., for Alfred Dunhill. Linley (son of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon), a custom furniture manufacturer based in Gloucestershire, England, was commissioned by Dunhill in 1993 to design and create five humidors, with each box a miniature version of classic British architecture. The boxes were then recreated, with production limited to a total of fifty "apex" units for the entire run--and a limit of 125 smaller "disciple" boxes designed as companions to the oversized treasures. (Disciple boxes are also sold separately, although they were intended to match the apex humidors and highlight a specific aspect of the architecture, such as a unique capitol or column.)
The architects whose works are emulated--Inigo Jones, Christopher Wrenn, William Kent, John Soane and Augustus Pugin--are said to be masters of various historical stages of English design, making the set of humidors a sort of purchasable homage to the men and their work.
Living up to the Linley name, these pieces are beautifully finished. A combination of wood choice (no less than five woods are utilized in each design) polishing and expert hand fitting allows Linley craftspeople to create the illusion of 3-D. On the Inigo Jones box, Queen's House in Greenwich, windows appear to be recessed, while the sills jump off the flat surface. The seam on the bottom accessory drawer is invisible, so that only the owner knows how to open it (far more discreet protection than a key hole).
A rubber gasket lines the inside bottom rims of both apex and disciple box lids, and top lids are counter-sunk, to insure a tight (and dampened) closure.
A crowning touch on the inside lid of each apex unit is a plaque indicating the number of the humidor within the production run ("number one of five," for example). There's certain caché to owning such a humidor, and the $14,000 price tag ensures this. The disciple boxes are not numbered, but because of limited production $1,950 for a 50 cigar box (the price is the same, believe it or not, for the 100 capacity unit), seems like a wise investment for what is likely to be collector's item.
Dunhill has also come out with some mid-line humidors. Made in France, these models are made to compete with other makes.(Retail prices range from $560 for a 25-cigar unit, to $800 for a humidor which holds 100 cigars.) The woods--mahogany, walnut, macassar, thuya and walnut--are pretty standard, but these boxes are made of solid wood--often, to save money, manufacterers will use pressboard in between layers of rarer woods--which makes them very heavy and sturdier than most humidors in this price range. With nice marquetry touches, beveled corners and raised inside linings, the new Dunhills are made with excellent care and craftsmanship.
Dunhill stores also provide a unique touch in humidor service--bespoke boxes. If, like many cigar smokers, you want something very much your own, Dunhill will custom-make your humidor. The store will provide you with a form and "swatches" of wood. From there, you give them the measurements, the wood, even a logo, and they'll build you a box. It won't happen overnight, and it's not cheap, but it will be a one-of-a-kind humidor.
And, as if Dunhill hasn't broken enough new ground, each new Dunhill humidor--from the $560 model to the Linley Apex unit--features a new humidification device. Dunhill has eliminated its quaint but inadequate water vials and replaced them with a modern, lid-mounted system which is easy to monitor for correct moisture content.
Instead of the standard analog hygrometer (notorious for erroneous readings), each Dunhill humidification device has a handle at one end. When you grasp the handle and let the device fall away underneath your hand, it's very much like holding a scale. Inside the device is a spring calibrated to reflect the weight of the moisture content as humidity level. When the spring is let out, numbers on a bar (from 10 to 100) that connects the handle to the device pass through a window on the unit. When the scale stops moving, the number in the window will be an accurate humidity reading. According to Dunhill, it will only be necessary to add distilled water every 30 days, but if you're in doubt, now you have an easy way to take an accurate reading. Just grab the handle and look inside the window. If the number 70 appears, your cigars are safe. If the number is lower, simple add distilled water until the reading equals 70.
There is one caveat. According to the instructions that come with the humidity control system, both the composition of the moisture pad and the reliability of the scale may become faulty after 18 months. A replacement can be purchased at Dunhill for $50; which seems a bit pricey for something you'll have to replace so frequently. However, this is the only failing in an otherwise stellar group of completely overhauled Dunhill humidors.
Compared with Dunhill, Elie Bleu was already producing very stylish boxes two years ago. Since then, however, they have increased their profile, adding great panache and color to an already stunning variety of gemlike humidors.
And while it is not the most colorful model made by Elie Bleu, the 150 cigar cabinet humidor in burl is gorgeous and one of the smartest designs we've ever seen. Open the doors on the front of the humidor and you'll find out why. Below the six drawers (each drawer is slotted to allow for moisture and air flow) is a half-inch-thick humidification device which covers the entire bottom surface of the box. This allows for the perfect staggering of your cigars. If you have to revive dry cigars, put them in the top drawer for a few weeks. Then, after they've had a small dose of moisture, you can move them down, closer to the humidification system. By the time they've reached the bottom drawer, they'll be perfectly revived, without having been through "moisture shock"--too much moisture delivered too fast, and the kind of thing which usually destroys great cigars.
There are other benefits to this box, and a few minor drawbacks. The drawers are removable, allowing for easy maintenance of your cigars, and, if you've got guests, you can remove a drawer and "serve" cigars from it. However, the humidification device requires servicing every three weeks, which is a bit more frequent than most units, and, despite the capaciousness of the cabinet and$1,595 price tag, inadequate rubber feet are glued to the bottom of the unit.
Elie Bleu has also introduced some eye-popping colors to its lineup of standard-shaped humidors, including bold designs and vivid marquetry. There are 80-cigar units with beveled glass tops which come in red, green and midnight blue, and 75-cigar "Medals" boxes (on the lid, gold-foil covered medals artfully surround an inlaid wood cigar and arching above the stogie are the words: for fine Havana cigars) which are made in every color from natural mahogany to Ferrari yellow. There's even a stunning sapphire blue box offset with bold, red marquetry. Also new from Elie Bleu is the 100 cigar Slimline model in burl. This unique shape is surely different from others on the market, but still understated.
Every Elie Bleu unit is appointed with reinforced hinges, locks and an excellent humidification device. The system works smoothly, and water need only be added monthly. On that score, Elie Bleu shouldn't change a thing.
Fortunately, some traditions change. Since our first humidor test, when some humidification devices were rudimentary and boxes crudely finished, the entire humidor market has turned around. Manufacturers are now listening to consumers, and working hard to meet an ever-expanding market. In upcoming issues, Cigar Aficionado will critique new humidor lines, as well as the latest in other cigar accessories. Keep reading.

WELCOME to our Friday blog. Every Friday we hand over to Carl and Alex Smith – known online as simply Carl & Alex. These super keen youngsters have a passion for making a variety of fishing videos, and provide a youth dimension to our new blogging mix.
We hope you enjoy the blog, written by Carl, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the icons above, or by the "old skool" method of telling fellow anglers!
Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page
YOU may remember that a few weeks ago I wrote a blog about being beaten by my friend and the weather, where Michael landed a couple of hard fighting barbel, but I could only manage a small chub before the river flooded and we had to go home! Well this week I have been back to that very same spot but this time with luck on my side.
Because Michael can drive now, he phones up quite often and kindly offers to drive me down to the river. And that was where we were heading last Saturday night, back to the weirpool where I had previously lost a total of four barbel.
I had however made some changes to my tackle: my light feeder rod replaced by a tougher carp/tench model, my medium feeder reel replaced with my Okuma Longbow Baitfeeder filled with 15lb line. Now 15lb line may sound a little crazy considering the average fish is around 5-7lb but even these barbel fight hard and will easily reach the various snags scattered around the pool.
When we arrived there was already an angler fishing the pool; he was very friendly and told us about a few other areas on the river where good chub and barbel can be found. As he would be fishing for another hour we decided to walk downstream. Whilst Michael tied up some rigs, I fished a fast shallow swim with no success. An hour passed and as dusk was approaching, we returned to the pool.
Before casting out I always like to stir the barbel into a feeding mode, so I balled in some method mix with plenty of added Fish Frenzy Crab and Shellfish pellets. I left the swim to settle for half an hour but I was itching to cast out! Michael had already flicked his rig to a snaggy area so I decided to set my trap too. Both us used a PVA bag of Chapel Baits Halibut Pellets to add some attraction to our hookbaits.
We were beginning to wonder when the barbel would make an appearance when out of the blue Michael's rod tip pulled right round and his bobbin bounced up against his rod. Typical I thought to myself, Michael's going to have another one!
But as I started to film my friend's fish, my alarm burst into life as line was pulled from a tight clutch. "Yes, yes, yes," I exclaimed, "we are both in!" But all too soon my excitement levels dropped. I thought that Michael's fish had taken out my line and given me the bite. It was very dark now and I was all over the place, trying to figure out what was going on.
Then I spotted my fish kiting round next to the weir sill and that was when I realised I did in fact have my own fish on the line and we were not just tangled up. At this point I was getting quite excited and Michael had to tell me to calm down. It was alright for him, he had caught lots of barbel from this river, but this was to be my first! I drew my fish slightly closer towards me and after several more runs it gave up and was led like a dog on a lead into my net.
Michael's barbel however was fighting considerably harder and I expected it to be bigger too, but surprisingly when we eventually netted it, it looked a little smaller. On the scales mine went 7lb 15oz and Michael's 6lb 14oz. As we held them up for a self take neither of us could describe how much we enjoy this type of fishing. The barbel were almost gold in colouration, long, lean and a real challenge from a low and clear little river. They are a challenge that I recommend you try at some point as nothing beats the bite and fight from a barbel.
As I write this, the rivers are rising considerably so why don't you grab your big gripper leads, some pellets or meat and head to your local river!
Tight lines – until our blog here next week!

From Gene Logsdon
Talk about heresy. What if food production should not be part of either a capitalistic or a socialistic economy. The first commandment of agriculture states that you must put back into the soil the fertility you take out of it. That being so, the only real profit from food production is how good the food tastes and how well it sustains health and well-being. Any actual money profit beyond that might simply be a sign that the farming is flawed. Failed civilization on top of failed civilization suggests that idea, but every new civilization that flourishes for awhile believes it can beat the system.
Farming has to be subsidized in modern economies because nature can't compete with money interest. An ear of corn, even the record-shattering 15-inch ear I found in my field yesterday, has never heard of six percent interest. An ear of corn grows at its own sweet pace, come recession or inflation, which is the modern version of hell or high water. Every attempt to make it grow at a pace that matches the way we can manipulate paper money growth, results in some downside. (Eventually it happens with money too.) GMO scientists crow about their new seeds but there is little significant increase in yield from them, in fact in some cases, documented decreases. When an increase does occur it usually comes from lack of weed competition not an actual genetic increase in yield. Most above average increases in crop yields come from good weather. Monsanto and Dupont are trying to take the credit for the big corn crop this year when their very same seeds that produce a good crop on one farm result in only half a crop two miles down the road where timely rains did not fall.
Every time a new variety of corn is hailed as producing higher yields, it takes a higher amount of inputs to get it. Increased yields invariably mean decreased food nutrients in the crop too. Increases in food nutrient value in a new variety, especially protein, invariably result in yield decreases. That's why high protein corn varieties haven't yet been largely accepted. They mean less yield. The increases in total crop production that we have gotten over the past fifty years come more from getting all farmers to follow the good management practices of the best farmers. There is irony in that too. The "good" practices of the "best" farmers are often the worst practices in terms of extracting wealth from the soil and not returning enough of it. Some of those "poor" farmers, by their very ineptness, could be rated as the best farmers environmentally because they are mining the soil the least. True story: One of my neighbors, gone now, made a living working in a factory and farming on the side. His crops were so poor that he could rarely be accused of mining the soil. One year his tractor quit on him while he was cultivating corn. He just left it set there and walked away. In the fall, the farmer who harvested the scraggly crop for him was surprised to find the abandoned tractor rusting away among the giant ragweeds.
Last week I wrote about how I made, by my own goofy way of calculating, $550 an acre on the measly little bit of corn I grew while the big producers were in danger of barely breaking even on their thousands of acres. Obviously, if there were a hundred million people raising gardens of corn the way I do, there would be plenty of corn for everyone but no one would make any cash profit on it to speak of. So? How's that any different from what's happening right now. And if cash profit is made today, how much of that is canceled out by the social costs of a hundred million people unable to grow their own food?
When I brag about my 15-inch ear of record-breaking yellow dent corn, I am no different than Monsanto bragging about how it will feed the world with GMO crops. Nature rules not Monsanto nor I. The only reason a stalk of my corn grew such a gigantic ear is that there was not another stalk closer than 20 inches on either side of it. Had there been stalks closer, that ear would have been more like eight to ten inches long. Decreasing plant population to get fewer but bigger ears does not increase total yield any more than increasing plant population with resultant shorter ears.
That's a reflection of the second law of the land: There is a limit on how much food an acre will produce. No civilization has learned how to get around that law so far. Trying to do so leads to a constant round of environmental collapse and starting over again.
Let us contemplate an awesomely scary thought. Humans seem to be genetically incapable of limiting their desires to fit the laws of nature. So can farming ever be truly sustainable? I have been studying the rise and fall of civilizations on the American continent over the past 12,000 years or so, (an awesome book, "1491" by Charles C. Mann) and what archaeologists have learned so far is that the answer is no.

The PGA Tour dished out another down to the wire, nail biting finish this weekend at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. Arjun Atwal's 7-foot, par saving putt on the 72nd hole secured his first PGA Tour win, a 2 year exemption on tour, and a maiden voyage to Augusta National next April.
However, Atwal's win didn't come without what many would call a 'gusty play' for his second shot to the 18th green on Sunday. That shot is the focus for our "Lessons Learned" this week.
With 192 yards, uphill, to a left side pin, guarded by bunkers, Arjun chose to play a hybrid from a downhill lie out of the left rough. Television announcers were initially barbequing him and throwing "Van de Veldeian" comments his way but Atwal's decision proved to be the shot that set him up for his best chance to get up and down and win the tournament.
Knowing your options for the shot at hand is essential for getting the job done on the golf course. Considering his tricky lie, Arjun realistically had 4 different options for playing his second shot into the 18th green.
Option 1 – He could try to fly it 185 yards or so to the middle of the green and be left with 30-40 feet for birdie. If he hits it left or right he ends up in a bunker for a tough up and down.
Option 2 – He had 170 yards to the front edge of the fattest part of the green. This would have left him with a 65-75 foot uphill putt. Again if he hits it left or right he may end up in a bunker.
Option 3 - Lay up well short of the green and have to get up and down from 80-100 yards.
Option 4 – Hit a club that would go over the green knowing he would get free relief from the grandstands surrounding the green. A short shot potentially ends up on the front of the green or worst case, in a bunker.
He chose Option 4 and after the tournament while clutching the championship trophy, Atwal admitted that he was more confident with a chip shot from behind the green than he would have been with a long putt or a bunker shot.
One of the most common mistakes I see amateur golfers make is not reviewing their options for the shot at hand. I believe a big factor in failing to review your options is what I like to call, "Yardage Fixation." With the growing use of GPS and laser range finders, amateur golfers get so fixated on their exact distance to the hole that they forget about everything else. In his decision, Atwal ultimately disregarded his yardage and blew it over the green.
Sure, we don't get the luxury of free relief from the grandstands…but the bottom line is that it was an option for his shot at hand and it played into his strengths. He's now a PGA Tour Champion. Lesson Learned – Know your options and chose the one that plays to your strengths.

Apple Launch TWO New iPhones But There Is One Thing Missing
It's the day iPhone fans have been waiting for, for weeks.
And it's finally arrived.
With nearly every rumour we have heard being confirmed.
The two new iPhones stick with the same system we are familiar with, with two sizes being launched, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
when yall get the iPhone 7: pic.twitter.com/PjSC6QwVc7— Meg ✨ (@yoncexhwang) September 7, 2016
The iPhone 7 Plus will be a more advanced version of the 7, with the phone gaining an extra camera on the back, which will add a new 'portrait' effect, that will apparently add depth of field to the photos.
To all you people freaking out about the #iPhone7... pic.twitter.com/QNM8L4B7SS— Difficult People (@DifficultOnHulu) September 7, 2016
Both phones have finally become water and dust proof, which means there will be no more panic when it is raining. It's likely they will be waterproof to a metre for up to 30 minutes.
Battery life is always a big thing with Apple fans, and Apple CEO Tim Cook has promised that the 7's battery life will be two hours longer, while the 7 Plus will last
When you realize #iPhone7 is a pass and you'll have to wait for 8. pic.twitter.com/GztVwnpWPn— Blogs of War (@BlogsofWar) September 7, 2016
We now get FIVE colours, with jet black and black being added alongside gold, silver and rose gold.
Say goodbye to the headphone jack, though, it is gone forever, with Apple opting to launch their new AirPods, which is wireless headphones (with a microphone) that detect when they're in your ear and only play at the stage.
crazy that you can't charge the iphone 7 and listen to music at the same time. crazy.— rich maze lopez (@richmazelopez) September 7, 2016
The battery on the headphones will last 5 hours and comes with a charger, which will hold 24 hours charge.
So the new #iPhone7 doesn't have an earphone socket! and the #AirPods are £150 💷💷💷 😏 pic.twitter.com/6nWGjfRhrf— WaYnE⚽ (@wazza225) September 7, 2016
Apple's new phones will come with an adapter that will allow people to use their standard headphones.
Every time a new iPhone come out .. I always get it but I don't even want the iPhone 7 🙄— Mia 👑💛 (@_AndImTamia) September 7, 2016
If you want to get your hands on the new phone, it's release date is September 16 but pre-ordering starts tomorrow (September 9) on all major networks and through the Apple website.

So are we having a quiet revival of the turtleneck?
Saturday, January 12, 2013
68 comments
I love this look, so 70s – I need to find one of these myself to replace my scarfs..
Love the beard!
Hi! I'm an editor @ hipshops.com
I think we are. In menswear at least. In womenswear to a lesser extent, although I have noticed some great textured turtlenecks with slightly lower collars than the one pictures, which I really quite like, in the streets of London.
Elisa – Wandering Minds fashion
Surely the turtleneck never went?!
He is really likeable. Have a nice weekend.
Ginger beards are the best!
Looks like we are indeed! It certainly looks very dapper underneath that blazer.
turtlenecks are a must have in the wintertime, they're a nice option to wearing a shirt and sweater
I dunno, but I was that blazer.
Lovely, how refreshing! Are the 60′s back?
Either that, or, there is ALWAYS someone who wants to be a British rocker!
But how do we feel about the turtleneck-beard combination, in general?
Rather see his pretty neck……
definitely hot
And a revival of smiling! :)
Love his hair!
definitely yes, although i'm growing bored of it on some people already!!
Now there is a character! Awesome!
Great outfit, but too much hair, and sans layers, we're getting the triangle thing.
If he had a mop of curls, shorter on the side, and a groomed stubble …. oh myyyyyy.
Turtlenecks are classy! I vote yes!
beautiful smile!
Hellooo future husband!
Yes! I love turtleneck!
That was me back in the '70s when I still had hair! I love this look not so much because it's retro but it's a great look and this guy pulls it off well. I'll always be a long hair, beard fan. I don't wear turtlenecks anymore but love this one! Peace!
Very interesting look
Love the jacket but not the white turtleneck. I hope the 60s are not back . . .
Turtleneck in Italy? I always thought it was more of a French thing!
Damn, I've been wearing these this year and hoping they wouldn't become trendy…but then Walmart started selling them for five bucks.
Amazing blazer!!
Turtleneck+ blazer works EVER!!!
I'm down with the turtle neck!
How cute is he! With a smile like that, you can wear anything.
Let's hope not..
Oh how lovely! I am swooning… He can bring back whatever he wants. Thank you Scott.
So gorgeous, loving his hair and beard! The turtleneck is ok too.
Wicked groovy!
Such a simply awesome classic look.
This was outrageously modern in the seventies – now it is a classic. Look around you now to see the future classics…
Great style!
… and of Braveheart :-)
I can remember looking exactly like this in the seventies.
Grey Fox
A man searching for style in middle age
At least, you don't need a scarf.
I love his turtlenecks , love his expression
Daddy Lele from Lelli, italian fashion family
Definitely a trend I've been wondering about. My friend and I discussed this a while ago and decided that perhaps faux turtlenecks (i.e. shorter turtlenecks) are the more subtle way to incorporate this look into a modern man's outfit.
I have to say that I've never seen a mock-turtleneck look really good on anyone. I think the turtleneck is one of those looks that you have to either fully commit to or skip completely… to my eye, at least, there's no feasible in-between.
Love the shawl collar. He's so striking, I didn't notice it the first time around. I had one in the 70′s. Wore it quite a bit, but was never sure how I really felt about it. They aren't very common.
Love him!
The jacket and turtleneck change the look from the relaxed hair choices.
And THAT is a smile. Nothing quite as pulling as a genuine smile.
Love turtlenecks on men and especially with a blazer. The beard and hairdo makes it even more cool.
love this look!
Turtlenecks…..Diane Keaton says YES!
I hope so! X
Is it really me?
Can't believe this.
Guglielmo Torelli
Tom Ford says 'yes'.
Turtlenecks have never been out of fashion! They are a wardrobe staple !
The winter-white turtleneck is great but the thing that caught my attention is the shawl collar double-breasted jacket! Very dapper outfit..
That is such a lovely shot. What a handsome and sincere face.
It's been a while since I've seen a man in turtle neck.
Didn't know it ever went away?
Was ever classic chic out of fashion?
A turtleneck is an instant route to sophisticated.
Turtlenecks gone away? Not in Chicago, the upper Midwest, ski country, or anywhere else that gets really frikkin' cold!
Long hair, red beard, white turtleneck – a heart-refreshing revival of the seventies.. The only thing I am missing is a tucked-in buttoned-up shirt over the turtleneck.
Great outfit That is such a lovely shot. What a handsome and sincere face

Why are Trimble County farmers charged a $15 co-pay for dead animal removal? As a member of the Trimble County Cattlemen's Association, in April 2009 I made a motion that was carried to fund the county $4,500 to fund the deceased animal disposal assistance program, requesting that farmers not have to pay a fee for disposal.
As a farmer, I know that losing livestock creates a hardship, itself; then to have to add the expense of disposal may cause someone to look at other means of disposal. We all want proper disposal of deceased animals.

Back to Men's Basketball coverage
Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self assured a pair of Philadelphia radio talk show audiences last week that Joel Embiid's once-injured back is healed.
"I would have worries if the doctors and experts said there should be worries," Self said on the Jon and Sean Show on 97.5 The Fanatic. "He's got a stress fracture in an area I guess 25 percent of all (football) linemen have and play with. Twelve percent of every gymnast has it. They said every student-athlete coming on campus has potential to have this injury. It happens (and) you don't do anything for it except rest it and rehab it and you are back to being yourself.
"This is one area in his back that will create zero problems for him moving forward. All it did was create symptoms and pain initially but those things are all gone from what I've seen," Self added.
Seven-footer Embiid missed the 2014 Big 12 and NCAA tournaments because of a stress fracture.
"I've talked to him and watched his workouts on YouTube. He looks 100 percent to me," added Self, who also appeared on Philly's Mike and Ike show last week talking about Embiid and Andrew Wiggins, expected to be taken in the top three of the June 26 draft. Philly picks third in the draft. Cleveland is No. 1 and Milwaukee 2.
"These guys can provide immediate help," Self said. "Will they be All-Star type material as a rookie? I would think not. I do think in three, four or five years they will be all stars. They will be multiple-time All-Stars.
"I've had a chance to coach some good guys. I haven't had a lot of guys that have translated to (being) great pros," Self added. "When I talk about 'great pros' I mean All-Star type pros. We have 14 in the league right now. These two are by far the best prospects that I've been around."
Hosts Jon and Sean remarked that it sounded as if Self was leaning toward Embiid being taken ahead of Wiggins (and Duke's Jabari Parker).
"I can't say that. You ask more questions about Embiid," Self said, drawing laughs from the hosts, who admitted they did pepper the coach with more Embiid questions than ones about shooting guard Wiggins.
"He is intriguing in large part because of how long he's been playing (just three years). When you think of Andrew and think of a 44-inch vertical and the best first, second (step) and quickest second jump. When his skill set catches up ... he did shoot 33 percent (from three) as a freshman and did average 17 and a half (points). He leaves you sometimes wanting more in the college game, but the NBA game translates very well to him. He comes from a great family. Both parents were world-class athletes."
In other words ... Self won't be favoring one of his pupils over another publicly heading to the draft.
Svee talk: Self on Ukrainian sensation Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who recently signed with KU over Virginia and others.
"I'm going with 'Svee,'" Self said, asked how to pronounce the 6-foot-6 standout's name. "How 'bout this?" Self added. "This kid is 16-years-old. You've got all these NBA people and everybody just raving about him. You are not eligible, I guess, for a European contract until you turn 18, which is a blessing for us. Most kids from Europe, international players, come to the States, play a year (at prep school) then begin their college play. There's still some that come straight from overseas (and enroll in college). Certainly we got lucky here. We found out about him late. Then we kind of got involved.
"One thing I did do on this one ... my rhetoric gets very stale and very old, but they (Mykhailiuk and his coaches) didn't understand anything I was saying, so it worked out well for us," he added jokingly.
Mykhailiuk, by the way, will wear jersey No. 10 this season. Newcomers Cliff Alexander and Kelly Oubre will wear Nos. 2 and 12 respectively. Devonté Graham hasn't settled on a number yet.
If I am picking first I would take Wiggins or Parker. I love Joel but that back scares me. It is your #1 pick you got to have someone who you can count on.
I've spoken with a number of physical therapists and they all say the same the same thing: Embiid's injury is NOT a problematic injury. It just required rest, as Self said. This is not the kind of thing that malingers. In fact, the place of the stress fracture, when healed, is actually stronger than it was to begin with.
Maybe Robyn, but to me you have multiple instances of the health issue, it causes him enough pain to miss games. You have other choices that could be just as impactful you can take. I am taking Wiggins or Parker. To me they are 1A, 1B, 1C, and Joel is the only one who is having health issues, while only playing a few years. The safe bet is the other two.
The fact that the back is so heavily discussed and it's the second time he's had the injury I would have my reservations. Wiggins or Parker would be my pick. I want Joel to prove everyone wrong. He needs to go to a team that has a strong power forward so the inside game isn't focused only on him while he grows and gets stronger. Good luck guys.
based on every quote that has been attributed to medical professionals about Embiid's injury I'd definitely take Embiid #1. If there are any secrets about Embiid's back that team doctors uncover with their physical examinations then that obviously changes things, but everything that has been made public says that it's no big deal. In my opinion there are risks with all three players, and based on the information available, Embiid's risks don't outweigh Wiggins' or Parker's.
Honestly, if I'm Milwaukee and Philly and Cleveland picks that guy that I wanted most then I'm still looking at players like Exum, Randle, Gordon, Smart, and Vonleh at #2 or #3 right alongside whoever's left of Embiid, Wiggins, and Parker. And I know that Philly has Carter-Williams at PG, but I wouldn't rule out drafting Exum or Smart and playing a two PG system. All three guys have enough size to play either guard spot.

Like sex, doom and gloom sells.
It draws viewers to TV, eyeballs to websites and buyers to books from "Crisis Investing," published in 1980, to "Surviving the Great Depression of 1990" to "The Collapse of the Dollar and How to Profit from It" (2008).
The financial crisis and Great Recession created a bull market in doom and gloom. But nearly six years after Lehman Brothers' collapse, the worst hasn't happened — unless you consider a 180% advance in the S&P 500 Index a disaster. Which it was, to those who avoided U.S. stocks because they believed the doom-and-gloomers.
So, now, enough time has passed to label certain outrageous forecasts as just plain wrong and to call out the people who made them.
Here are the four worst predictions to gain traction over the past few years.
1. The economy and stock market will crash. Harry Dent's prognostications have veered between euphoria (he once called for the Dow Jones Industrial Average to hit 35,000) and despair (his book "The Great Depression Ahead" appeared in early 2009) as the fortunes of the pig-in-a-python Baby Boom generation waxed and waned.
In 2011, he predicted Dow 3,000 and advised investors to be out of the market between early 2012 and late 2013, a time when the S&P 500 advanced nearly 50%.
Meanwhile, Elliott Wave analyst Robert Prechter, whose heyday was in the 1980s, got some notoriety a few years ago by calling for a market collapse. In July 2010, Prechter predicted that "the Dow, which now stands at 9,686.48, is likely to fall well below 1,000 over perhaps five or six years as a grand market cycle comes to an end. …"
The Dow recently hit an all-time closing high of 16,715.44, a 73% gain.
So, no Great Depression or catastrophic market crash — and please doesn't tell me they're just around the corner.

"Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half" --with--America's Cheapest Family
by Steve & Annette Economides
I was very happy to get this book in my hands. Who does't want to save money on grocery bills? With the price of food going up, it doesn't hurt to save each and every penny we can.
In their first book, "America's Cheapest Family Gets You Right on the Money," they talked of money saving strategies from practically every budget.
The average family of three spends about $6,133 per year on groceries. That's $511 each month and $170 per person!
Their team effort in writing the book, allows you to read the book from your own life experience. You can apply the various ideas and tips to your level of your life. Test your grocery genius.
According to a 2006 survey, the average American family is eating out 1.4 times each week. Is that because we are too busy, hate to cook or it is more convient?
Meal planning is a must! Take stock of what you have and have a well stocked pantry. List your daily events that you have planned for the week and plan meals accordingly. Create your own menu planner or use the form they have in the book. If you are recipe challenged, research various cookbooks for meal ideas. Online recipes are great too!
Research the local grocery ads and note the sale items. Ad match between stores. Commit to spending less time shopping and avoid impulse buys. Know your prices and if you are getting a good deal or not. They talk of couponing and know that most of us don't want to sit down and clip coupons etc. Steve and Annette work as a team with the grocery shopping. Does your spouse go with you to the store? Not mine!
Once a month cooking can save a lot of time. Just pull your frozen meal out of the freezer on a super busy night. No meal prep and time for you.
Stock up and organize. Store it, find it, use it. They talk of tools and tips that they use. Make meal time fun! Have a garden. They share their favorite family recipes.

I have found that two things are very inexpensive to give but are worth a great deal: respect and acceptance. This is especially true in Karate.
There is a respect given because a person is physically strong. This is shallow. Physical strength declines with age, and even with the best mechanics and conditioning, we do grow slower and weaker with age. Respect for physical strength alone would diminish as a person ages.
But respect for a person's character and humanity will grow with age.
I know people who study many different styles of Karate. I am sure that each of us like our own style, and sometimes might question another person's emphasis in Karate. But I have learned to appreciate and respect different styles and emphases in Karate. My own emphasis has changed many times during my Karate life. One of the things I appreciate is that my Karate friends and I accept each other. We don't look at each other with a look of "I think I could take you." Instead, we have a look of "I think I could learn something from you." "And if you had a problem,I would have your back."
Respect and acceptance, of course, are just as important outside of Karate. Everyone is different. Thank goodness for that! The older I get and the more I experience life, the more I respect people and the more I accept different views and lifestyles.
Life is small when a person is narrow minded. The opposite is also true.
In Hawaii, we have a "mixed plate" for lunch -- different kinds of food. Together they are great. A musubi is good but you can't beat a good mixed plate lunch.
Now I'm hungry.
