Placenta Encapsulation
Placenta encapsulation is a way to further support new mothers in the early postpartum period. The process includes dehydrating the placenta overnight, grinding it into a powder, and putting it in capsules. I'm certified with an OSHA compliant blood born pathogens training.
When you request the placenta encapsulation, I will come and collect the placenta from the hospital, birthing center or your home. I work out of her home and will return the placenta as soon as it's ready (24-48 hours). Depending on size and weight of the placenta, you will receive 80-120 pills. The pills can be taken in the early postpartum period for as long as desired throughout the first year.
The placenta transports nutrients to the fetus during gestation, as well as producing and regulating hormones. Proponents believe that the placenta retains some of these substances after delivery, and that the consumption of the placenta by the mother can help her recover more quickly following childbirth by replenishing nutrients and hormones lost. Newly postpartum women can ingest their placentas, which benefits may include:
- vitamin B6 and B12
- iron
- progesteron
- estrogen
- oxytocin
- cortisone
- prolactin (promotes lactation)
- $250 for placenta encapsulation
- $50 for placenta tincture
- $200 option- If a family member can drop off placenta and pick up processed placenta capsules.
Postpartum Doula
I offer in-home support for new mamas and their families postpartum. Having extra support around after the birth can be a wonderful way to transition into your 'new normal'. Care includes help with the baby and support breastfeeding. I also do light housekeeping, such as the never-ending laundry that needs to be done, dishes, and sweeping. I love to cook nutritious vegetarian food for the mama too. I believe that feeding the mama, is feeding the family. I like to make foods that help support the body after birth, such as warming soups and stews, hearty grains and vitamin-rich smoothies.
Three hour minimum per visit and a 3 visit minimum. I am available for more time as needed. Day time hours only.
Childbirth Education Classes
Offering private or small group in-home childbirth education classes. It can be hard to commit to 6 or 8 week class to learn about your upcoming birth and what to expect afterwards. That's why I lead small group classes for 2 sessions that last 3 hours each. Learn about what to expect during labor, delivery and postpartum. We will discuss the stages of labor, how your partner can support you during labor and delivery, what different birth outcomes may look like. There will be time focusing on the postpartum period, also known as the 4th trimester.

If you have aches and pains in your joints, you might think it's just from everyday wear and tear, stress and strain, but what if it's something else?
And what if it's not related to wear and tear at all?
Joint pain is a common ailment, especially as we get older. For many of us, the pain comes from the wearing down of cartilage between the bones. Overexertion and injury can also make things sore.
Sometimes, however, your bones can hurt and ache not from motion or strain at all — but rather from what you're putting into your body.
We don't always remember that what we eat and drink affects all parts of our bodies, including our bones.
Everything is connected in there, and so certain types of foods, when eaten in excess, can cause pain in our joints.
One example of pain in joints is gout. This disease is caused by the byproducts of less-than-healthy foods eaten in large quantities, when uric acid crystals build up in joints. The disease is painful and as it's commonly found in the feet, can make getting around difficult.
Luckily, this disease is caused by lifestyle choices for the most part, which means that it's reversible with a few changes to dietary habits that you can make yourself.
Read on to learn about gout, how to spot it, and how to keep your joints healthy and flexible.

Justin Bieber was arrested this morning on charges of drag racing and failing a sobriety test, Miami Beach Police tell New Times this morning.
"Kid needs help," police spokesperson Bobby Hernandez says. Hernandez added that Bieber's entourage blocked traffic at Pine Tree Drive and 26th Street to create a "drag racing strip" so the pop star would have ample space to speed.

Upon arrest, Bieber wouldn't remove his hands from his pockets, and he might face charges of resisting arrest without violence, the Herald reports. Tests show he was under the influence of drugs.
"He showed symptoms of someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol," Hernandez said.

As of this morning, no charges have materialized against him in Miami-Dade Court, and a review of prison records shows he's not incarcerated. But Bieber is on his way to jail and booking, police say. Update: Bieber was booked at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 10:36 a.m.
Here's the full arrest report:
Justin Bieber Arrest Report - Miami Beach PD
Continue reading for tweets about the arrest and more on Bieber's wild adventure through Miami...
Hours before the drag racing, Bieber's buddy Khalil, who was also arrested, posted several photos to Instagram showing the "Miami nights ridin.
"U know bizzle brought that lambo out ♛," Khalil posted.
See also: Video of Justin Bieber Getting Arrested in South Beach
Says Khalil: "Miami nights ridin thru yo city in that hot wheel ♛."
The arrest culminates a wild Miami week for Justin Bieber. First, he blew $75,000 at King of Diamonds on strippers. He arrived at the establishment at 4 a.m., according to the club's Twitter feed, and ordered a giant stack of one-dollar bills -- $75,000 to be precise.
Then, yesterday, he spurred an internal investigation within the Opa-locka Police Department into why two or more of its officers -- possibly on duty -- escorted Bieber and his Beliebers from the town's airport to some parties and clubs. "We know it was an unauthorized detail," Assistant City Manager David Chiverton told the Herald.
And now this.
NBC 6 traffic reporter Kelly Blanco reported that Bieber was driving a yellow Lamborghini -- because of course -- when he was busted.

Sometimes you give birth to children who grow up and decide they need to go clear across the continent to have life experiences. In that scenario, I have found it appropriate to post something "special" for their birthday that they can not do anything about. A visual birthday card! Something that will embarrass them just a tad or maybe make them feel just how special they really are. Happy Birthday! Miss you and love you!
Happy Birthday Ciera Jo!

Where did he come from?
Will is originally from Long Island, New York, he went "out west" to Indiana University, Bloomington, where he graduated in 1997 with a degree in Education, specializing in music. Growing up, Will's love for music was developed through piano, cello and voice lessons. Will always had a passion for music and was the kid who always had headphones on (long before it was cool to do so) constantly listening to all types of music.
Where has he been?
After working for over 20 years in music as an educator and music director for churches around the Pittsburgh/Greensburg area, Will became interested in digital marketing. In 2016, he built a website and began an online music production business that specializes in custom music for competitive cheer, dance and hip-hop teams: www.cheermusiccentral.com.
Building upon this knowledge, Will went on to redesign his church's website and created a complete digital strategy to include social media and search engine optimization. After building their online presence, the church saw an increase in membership and donations.
What else do you need to know about Will?
When Will isn't learning about the next great HubSpot tool, listening to a podcast about HubSpot or generally geeking-out over HubSpot, he can be found spending time with his wife, Christie and three kids: Nick, Grace and Robbie, usually laughing or enjoying something on Netflix or Hulu.
On weekends, Will continues to be a part of the church world as an itinerant minister, speaker, musician and emcee for youth rallies around the country.
Will admits he probably won't be producing the next Billy Joel or Panic At the Disco album, he enjoys producing and working on music in his one room music studio at his home.

This post was sponsored by Amazon as part of an Ambassador Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
I'm an avid reader and I hope to pass my love of books along to my kids. March is National Reading Month and it's the perfect time to get your kids excited about reading. My little ones are too young to read, but that doesn't mean they can't benefit from reading! According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, The benefits of reading for kids and teens start in the brain as early as infancy. Research also suggests that children who are read to when they're small do better in school when they get older because they're equipped with stronger comprehension and vocabulary skills.
I've found that the easiest way to get Indigo excited about reading is to let him choose the book. The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet comes with a one-year subscription to Amazon FreeTime Unlimited which gives you access to over 20,000 books, videos, Audible books, educational apps, and games that are age-appropriate and hand-curated by the Amazon FreeTime team. It's like having a library at your fingertips!
The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet-Our Favorite Features:
Get Peace of Mind with Parental Controls
Most parents I've spoken to who are hesitant to buy their kids a tablet worry about the unfiltered content that's available online. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet solves that problem with detailed Parental Controls! The Parental Controls are easily accessible from the "Settings" icon. You can use the Parent Dashboard to monitor your child's activity, including how much time your kids have spent reading each day, as well as which books they're reading/listening to. It also allows you to adjust age filters, enable/disable web browser access, and choose whether to allow in-app purchasing.
I love that the Fire Kids Edition lets me disable web browser access. Anytime Indigo gets ahold of my phone he immediately finds videos of kids fighting/pulling pranks/etc. With Parents Controls, I don't have to stand over his shoulder ever minute monitoring his screen time!
FreeTime Unlimited has so many great titles for little ones! The books are fun to read and large pictures capture kid's attention.
Indigo's latest favorite book is called "Spring is Everywhere". It contains several short stories and features the PAW Patrol, Bubble Guppies and Blaze and the Monster Machines.
Set Educational Goals for Your Kids
Another great feature of the Fire Kids Edition is the Learn First settings. The Learn First settings can be set up in the FreeTime settings on your child's tablet, or remotely via Parent Dashboard. Simply check the "Learn First" box and entertainment content will be blocked until all daily educational goals are met.
To aid in your child's learning, Fire Kids Edition offers Discussion Cards. Discussion Cards offer parents a "family book club" approach with summaries and sample questions based on the books, videos, Audible books, educational apps and websites that are viewed within Amazon FreeTime.
Enjoy FreeTime Unlimited on Other Devices
Did you know that you can enjoy FreeTime Unlimited without Fire Kids Edition? You can! Parents don't have to have a Fire Kids Edition tablet in order to access Amazon FreeTime Unlimited. The FreeTime Unlimited app is also available for download on iOS and Android. (The FreeTime Unlimited content experience will vary based on device.)
Once parents sign-up for Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, the same subscription can be used on any compatible device including Fire tablets, Fire Kids Edition tablets, compatible Android and iOS phones and tablets, and compatible Echo devices, including Echo Dot for Kids.
Worry-Free Protection
The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet comes with a kid-proof case and a two-year worry-free guarantee – if they break it, simply return it and Amazon will send a replacement for free, no questions asked.
This case is seriously durable! Indigo has dropped the tablet countless times and the screen hasn't cracked!

The N.B.A. has begun an investigation into how teams handled free agency this summer, focusing on whether improper inducements were offered to players to circumvent the salary cap, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.
The issue was raised by multiple team owners at a meeting of the league's board of governors this month in Las Vegas, according to the person, who requested anonymity because of a lack of authorization to speak publicly on the subject.
ESPN first reported on the existence of the investigation.
There were also multiple reports this month suggesting that Kawhi Leonard's representatives, in arranging his blockbuster move from the Toronto Raptors to the Los Angeles Clippers, had asked for perks that would violate the league's collective bargaining agreement.
The ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith, citing "people in N.B.A. circles," said on the air that Leonard's uncle — Dennis Robertson (known in N.B.A. circles as "Uncle Dennis") — had asked other teams for houses, planes and guaranteed sponsorship money. Smith added, "I have no idea whether this is true or not."
In another report, The Sports Network in Canada said Robertson had asked for "things players don't generally ask for in standard contract negotiations," without specifying what those things might be.
It is unclear what the scope of the investigation is, or whether the league, which declined to comment, is acting on information other than reports in the news media. The investigation follows one of the most tumultuous off-seasons in N.B.A. history, with many high-profile players switching teams.
The N.B.A. is also exploring whether it needs to change its rules against tampering. Several players committed to signing with a team as soon as free agency negotiations officially opened at 6 p.m. on June 30 — even though teams were not allowed to begin recruiting before then. League rules prohibit players, coaches and front office executives from enticing an athlete under contract with another team to come play for their franchise.
Commissioner Adam Silver said during an interview with Sports Illustrated in April that he did not think tampering was significantly worse today than in the past. But after the spirited board of governors meeting, Silver acknowledged that changes might be necessary. He cited increased coverage of the league and communication through social media as reasons teams and players might feel pressure to push the established boundaries.
"I think it's pointless at the end of the day to have rules that we can't enforce. I think it hurts the perception of integrity around the league," Silver said at a news conference in Las Vegas. He added later, "My sense in the room today was, especially when it comes to free agency and the rules around it, that we've got work to do."
A number of deals seemed to be completed at breakneck speed. Kemba Walker committed to the Boston Celtics and Kyrie Irving to the Nets almost immediately when free agency began, and the likelihood of the moves was essentially known for days.
Also close to the time free agency started, Kevin Durant posted a video on Instagram announcing his decision to leave the Golden State Warriors and become a Net. The video appeared on the account of "The Boardroom," Durant's sports business channel.
Several news media reports indicated that his teaming up with Irving had long been in the works.
The New York Times reported last month that representatives for Leonard, now the centerpiece of the Clippers, had made it known that he was interested in teaming up with Jimmy Butler, who was becoming a free agent. In addition, according to an ESPN report, Leonard tried to recruit Durant days before he officially committed to the Nets.
(Nets General Manager Sean Marks said at N.B.A. Summer League that Durant had committed on Instagram before ever meeting with the team.)
On ESPN's website, testimonials from two players — the Milwaukee Bucks' Khris Middleton and the Philadelphia 76ers' Tobias Harris — were posted within minutes of each other at around 7 p.m. on June 30, an hour after free agency technically began, to explain why they were staying with their teams.
Agents for several other players, including Jonas Valanciunas, Terrence Ross and Gerald Green, confirmed to The Times, ESPN, The Athletic and other outlets that their players had committed to teams within minutes of free agency opening. Bobby Portis told The Athletic that the Knicks had reached out to set up a meeting a full five days before free agency began.
"The one strong conviction I have is that we should not have rules that are not strictly enforced," Silver said in Las Vegas. "We know that's the case right now. Whether that's by virtue of practice, whether it's because just the world around us has changed, whether it's because players have power that they didn't used to have, I'm not so sure."
There is some precedent for under-the-table deals that break league rules. It was discovered that Joe Smith, a No. 1 draft pick who played in the N.B.A. from 1995 to 2011, had signed short-term deals with the Minnesota Timberwolves that were less than his market value, with a secret promise that he would eventually get a more lucrative contract. The N.B.A. handed down what at the time was the harshest penalty ever from an American sports league: a $3.5 million fine and the stripping of five Minnesota first-round picks.

Malaysia's endangered wildlife and their threatened home forests need conservation leaders.
Just this year the Malayan tiger became Critically Endangered, one step away from extinction with only 250-340 animals left in the wild. The goal of 1,000 tigers by year 2020 has been shattered by the relentless poaching pressure due to the demand from trade in tiger and other wildlife parts. Many other species like bear, sambar and pangolins are also vulnerable to poaching.
MYCAT is now recruiting volunteers to lead Citizen Action for Tigers (CAT) Walks to deter wildlife poaching and illegal activities in the Sungai Yu Tiger Corridor, the last remaining East West forest linkage between Taman Negara and the Main Range.
If you care about what is happening to Wild Malaysia and are
sign up for our CAT Walk Volunteer Leader Training.
This training workshop is organised to recruit volunteer leaders for CAT Walks, to further develop the CAT programme and to increase the presence of citizen conservationists at the Sungai Yu Tiger Corridor.
A trained CAT Walk volunteer leader are expected to:
- Ensure the group's safety at all times while leading a CAT Walk
- Meet the objectives and purposes of CAT Walk
- Report suspected wildlife crimes encountered on CAT Walk to the MYCAT Wildlife Crime Hotline (019-356 4194 / firstname.lastname@example.com)
CAT Walk volunteer leader criteria:
- Above 18 years of age
- Have experience leading group of people on a forest excursion (camping trips etc.)
- Reasonably fit with no major health issues or medical conditions
- Committed to complete the CAT Walk Volunteer Leader certification process within a year (by September 2016), which involves participating in additional trainings and in at least 4 CAT Walks for on-the-job training
The training is limited to 15 participants who will be selected based on their suitability (assessed via a questionnaire). The trainers consist of MYCAT Secretariat's Office staff. The deadline for application is 21 August 2015 and successful applicants will be notified by 26 August 2015.
Date: 3-4 October 2015
Location: Kuala Lumpur (exact venue will be confirmed at a later date)
Participation fee: RM150/person (covers cost of meals and training material)
Fill up this questionnaire by Friday, 21 August 2015. Participants will be selected based on assessment of the questionnaire.

I note with considerable dismay that Education Secretary Alan Johnson is directing teachers to reward troublesome pupils with prizes and privileges.
If they behave, these disruptive pupils are to be awarded CDs, cinema tickets, I-pods, bicycles, and the like. What message is this sending to the well-behaved, conscientious school children?
Does Mr Johnson really expect his new initiative to go down well with this "silent majority"?
As a teacher of some 38-plus years I have experienced many schemes designed to instill some sort of work ethic in disaffected children and none of them have been successful.
I can even recall an instance when the children at my former school were invited, pressured, cajoled to go on a sponsored walk to raise money for a new minibus. The top set pupils in years 10&11 refused to take part because "only the troublemakers get taken anywhere". Those 15 and 16-year-olds could see then, back in the '80s, that only bad behaviour got rewarded.
Surely what Mr Johnson should be doing is giving back to teachers the authority they have lost over the past 30 years. Let's have some real punishments for the miscreants and rewards for those who are trying to succeed.
I'm not necessarily advocating the return of the cane or the slipper but, as someone who has spent all his working life at the "chalk face", I have noticed a distinct decline in discipline since they were abolished.
The proverb "spare the rod and spoil the child" certainly comes to mind.
Mr Johnson's advisors have concocted a recipe for disaster. Thank goodness I took early retirement.

On Monday, our office learned that we'd be called into the Senate Committee on Insurance and Banking the next morning at 8:30 a.m. We were told we'd be reviewing and voting on Senate Bill 1 — a bill to create sweeping changes to Michigan's auto no-fault insurance system.
The problem is: we hadn't seen the bill yet, and we didn't until late in the evening.
The 79-page bill proposed nothing less than a complete overhaul of Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system, eliminating the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (MCCA), creating a tiered Personal Injury Plan (PIP) choice system with coverage dropping from unlimited lifetime support to $250K at the high end and $50K at the low end, and the option to opt-out of coverage for drivers who instead wished to rely solely on their health insurance. All of these changes came with no mandate or guarantee of rate reduction to drivers.
Rushing a bill like this rarely occurs in the legislature, especially on a piece of legislation that could drastically impact the lives of thousands of Michigan drivers without careful thought and extensive discussion.
After staying up late reading through SB 1, I was left with a lot of questions that didn't get answered in this rushed process. I was deeply disappointed in the highly-partisan nature of the proceedings in what should have been a robust, thoughtful and nuanced dialogue to work together toward real solutions.
Most importantly, I am disheartened that the Senate passed legislation that does not guarantee rate reductions and guts coverage.
Conversation in Committee
I came to committee prepared to ask a number of questions that matter to Michigan drivers. For example:
If coverage is cut on the auto insurance side, what treatment options will be lost and how will those costs affect your health insurance premiums?
Has there been a cost-benefit analysis done by a non-partisan agency to understand the cost shifts for consumers and what this program will cost to administer?
Where in this bill does it ensure that people in catastrophic accidents receive the care they need without having to go bankrupt paying for medical treatment?
Who determines whether or not a treatment is considered "medically necessary" and what are the consumer protections in place if they're denied coverage?
Unfortunately, we were limited to one question per person. Here is a list of 26 questions I compiled for committee during my late-night review of the bill.
What's the deal with Senate Bill 1?
Senate Bill 1 would eliminate Michigan's no-fault insurance system by instead requiring drivers to choose whether to opt-out of coverage through a PIP.
Essentially, this means drivers in Michigan will no longer have the option of unlimited medical coverage after an accident through the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (MCCA), but force drivers to choose between capped PIP medical coverage plans of $50,000, $200,000 or $250,000 or opt out of medical coverage entirely.
The bill also would implement a fee schedule on medical providers in line with workers' comp rates, modify the statute of limitations to filing an action against a third party and create an Automobile Insurance Fraud Task Force within the Michigan State Police.
Why I'm opposed to the plans proposed in Senate Bill 1
While this bill claims to lower high insurance rates by allowing consumers to choose their degree of coverage, there is no mechanism that guarantees lowered rates. Instead, it shifts the costs for drivers, drastically cuts coverage, perpetuates the use of redlining and use of non-driving factors in the setting of individual rates. It also does not require insurers to justify their rates prior to authorization.
For these reasons, I voted in opposition to SB 1 when it came to the floor for a vote yesterday, urging my colleagues to do the same until we work in a more collaborative way to solving this issue.
Worst case scenario: without proper consumer protections, the legislature makes sweeping changes to our no-fault system that results in you paying the same rate or more for significantly less coverage. That is why I spoke in opposition to the bill on the Senate floor yesterday.
What I'd like to see in a real solution:
At this point in the process, the House will have the opportunity to take up this bill and offer amendments. My hope is that numerous changes are made before it comes back to us in the Senate.
A few of these solutions include:
What happens now?
SB 1 now heads to the House of Representatives, where it will likely be referred to the House Committee on Insurance for further review.
Once voted out of the House Insurance Committee, it will go to the floor for a vote and be brought back to the Senate with any changes made. My hope is that the House will work in a more bipartisan fashion to include some of the changes mentioned above.

The current dust-up over use of drones in the US to target US citizens bothers me a lot. Why? Because I cannot in good conscience agree that one standard is acceptable for treating US citizens while another applies to "ferenners". How can anyone look her/himself in the mirror and say, "well, if someone is about to attack the US Capitol in an act of terrorism, it's ok to kill that person if he/she is a non-US citizen, but you must hold your fire if that person is a US citizen"? It is not only ridiculous; it violates my fundamental sense of equal treatment under the law.

Ever wondered why Labour Day is on the first day of the month?
Wednesday, 30 April
It's a new day! Rise, shine and behold: it's the last day of the week. Having a Wednesday as the last workday is an unspeakable joy for any employee. That day being the last day in the whole month, double so.
It's around 8:20 AM, I'm approaching the company and as I take a load of the gigantic glass windows I think of the work waiting for me behind those walls, and to tell you the truth, it didn't make me exactly cheerful. But still, something in the back of my mind reminded me that it's the 30th of April, and in order for today's work to be counted as a bonus, it had to be done before May strikes.
I arrive at the office, and honestly I'm having a hard time remembering whether I'd chatted with anybody before I unloaded my stuff and switched my computer on. However, I can clearly remember that the clock on the screen read 8:23, at which time I started working keen not be disturbed. I tried not to open any conversation with anyone and shunned those as politely and quickly as I could.
I was so absorbed that I didn't even notice Amjad doing his daily routine errand: comes by with a mug in his hand, stands at the door off the office, throws a teasing remark and goes back to his office quickly. I was setting a time limit for myself to finish each and every part of what I was working on. I didn't stop for long even when Ruba rushed into the office all angry and infuriated after the program she was working on encountered a fatal error and her work wasn't saved, yet again.
Naturally, I wasn't the only one swamped. The whole office seemed to be on a rush. After all it was the 30th of April, and we were finishing up the month. Even when I went to pray, I could still hear the sound of phone ringing and people walking in the hallway. Not to mention the endless talk about salaries, bonus, overtime, deductions, etc.
By 1:00 o'clock, I was starting to doze off. My head felt so heavy and my eyes hurt. A break? Well, a 15 minutes doze wouldn't kill anyone. When it comes to taking naps on hard wooden desks, I'm the one to turn to. Later on, Sireen, who was desperate for a nap and has an urgent work to do came by sulking, and we all shared the same notion: We all want this day to end.
By around 4:20, I'm done. My head feels like one of those African Zulu drums. But, still, it's the 30th of April, and I could feel that I earned the day off. I was having raptures of joy, the month is over and it was officially announced that whoever finished his work could go home anytime. Have a nice weekend!
At home, a nice healthy meal, a walk and a sniff of fresh air could turn your world around. To top all, a blog post just before bedtime for all the workers in the world, whether you were the CEO of a multi-national company or just selling newspapers at the traffic lights, for each and everyone of you making this world unstoppingly viable: It's labour day, and you've earned it.

[Ex-is-tense, 1,667 words, Genre: Experimental]
* Image courtesy of Dirk de Bruyn
Dee had just stumbled upon what was really going on. That was, reality was being revealed to him. Existence was being revealed from behind the curtain of facades and illusions. It occurred earlier that day when he went to the gym. He had just finished his workout and then went to the closest supermarket to buy cigarettes and a bottle of iced coffee. As he sat at the side of the supermarket, drinking his iced coffee and smoking a cigarette. A couple came up to him. The man, or what appeared to be a man, stood by the car. His partner came up and greeted Dee. She had straightened short blonde hair, she had a dog of the staffee breed on a leash.
"Don't worry, he's just coming up to say hello." She told Dee as the dog made its way towards him.
Dee petted the dog and spoke, "Hello fella. How are you today?"
The woman spoke, "I was going to go to the gym today, but instead I had a beer. What have you been up to?"
"Well, I just went to the gym. And now I'm relaxing, having this iced coffee and a cigarette."
"Okay then, have a nice day." The woman, as she walked away, began to hum to herself a song. It was the song, 'If God had a name.' Dee finished his iced coffee and slowly began to hum to himself the song, unaware of what the song was. As he rode his bicycle back home, the song began to ferment into his mind until it reached a point that it bore fruition and began singing the song out loud. As he rode his bicycle, he sang to himself, "Yeah, God is Great! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
He arrived home. Made himself a coffee and smoked a few more cigarettes. He had to go into the library that day to access the internet and apply for a few more jobs. So he caught the bus into town. All the time quietly singing that song to himself as he made his way into town. He received angry looks from the men around him, he didn't understand why. And then he thought about the lyrics of the song that he was singing. That is when existence begun to unfold before his very eyes.
The song wasn't a feel good song, as he imagined it to be. But what it was, was a song about infidelity. The song was about a woman calling out another man's name through the act of intercourse. Outside the library a man took him aside, "Do you know what that song is about?"
"Not really, why?"
The man then explained it, "That song. Everyone has lost one of their best mates to that song."
"What song? If God had a name?"
"Yes, don't say it. All men hate that song and only evil women like that song."
"Well, you see when a man and a woman have sex. The woman usually calls out a name during sex. Usually it's with the man that she's with. But, it has been agreed upon. For the sake of maintaining order that she should call out the name, 'God', instead."
"Why? I don't understand."
"Because if she calls out another man's name during the act of intercourse, it will drive the man into a rage. Sometimes he kills her, sometimes he kills himself. That's why women call out the name 'God' during intercourse. It helps…"
"It helps with what?"
"It helps the man feel good about himself. It helps avoid issues of jealousy and it makes him feel powerful."
"Oh, I see."
"Yes, but that song. That song is evil. Don't sing that song… They will chop off your penis if you sing that song. Where did you hear it?"
"Well, it's a catchy tune. I think I was talking to someone at the supermarket and then they started humming it."
"Bastards! That's how they get you!"
"What? I don't understand."
"Look, I'll take you to the men's room and show you."
So the stranger took Dee to the men's bathroom in a public toilet, dropped his pants and underpants to show him it. Instead of his genitals. There was a plastic straw sewn up in the place of where his penis and balls used to be. Then, a slow drizzle of urine began leaking out of the straw, "God damn it! It's leaking again."
Dee turned away in disgust, "Pull your pants up! Pull your pants up!"
"I can't. I have to let the liquid drain out."
Dee staggered out of the men's toilet. He looked around and everywhere around him he saw fully grown men, giving him evil stares. He saw one man who sat on a bench being comforted by another man. The man on the bench was weeping. He called out to Dee, "You bastard! We've all lost best friends and lovers to that song! How could you?! You bastard!"
Dee didn't know what was going on. The other man, the unic, Dee guessed is what you'd call him, had told him what was going on. He ran to the bus stop, avoiding all the men that had gathered around him. They wanted to do something to him, Dee didn't know what exactly. Dee was lucky enough not to find out, because the bus back home had just arrived. He got on the bus and sat down, beads of sweat and a deep fear rising up in him. The only other two people on the bus were the bus driver and another woman.
The radio was playing, the spokesperson on the radio was presenting, "Someone's been singing that song again. You know which one. Look like there's going to be more fights occurring all around town. Whenever someone sings that song, you know that the price must be paid."
The bus driver then reported something on his radio, "Yep, I see him. He's on the bus. Yep, I'll tell you when he gets off."
As the bus drove there was a man on the side lawn, mowing the grass. He saw Dee and flourished the whippersnapper, like waving his hand at the bus. It was a sign… They were trying to signal that they were going to cut his penis off or something.
The woman on the bus came up to him and started explaining, "So you're the one they're looking for. Singing that song, were you?" Dee nodded sullenly. "How could you not know? About that song? About it all. Didn't someone explain it to you?"
"No… no-one explained anything."
The woman just sighed, walked away and back to her seat. Then Dee began to sweat profusely. Trying to work out what was going on and what was going to happen next. He got off the bus and returned home. To his block of flats. There, sitting outside was his neighbor. His neighbor was smoking a cigarette. "So, been singing that song, have you?"
"What song? What are you talking about? Everything is so confusing."
"Didn't anyone explain it to you?"
"Explain what?"
"It. Life. Existence."
"What is it?"
"Well, when IVF, that is in vitro fertilization, was created in the nineteen sixties. It created an odd effect on the populace. An underground movement occurred."
"What underground movement?"
"I'm getting to that. In the underground movement, certain criminal elements started to arise. These criminal elements began to sever the genitals from males that they saw as unfit for breeding. It was a mass effect. You notice that most men in their forties and beyond have got stomachs."
"That's because they've lost their genitals and those genitals were responsible for generating testosterone within their anatomy. As soon as their systems stopped producing that testosterone, their bodies gave out and created these testosterone free bodies."
"So, some of these criminal leaders allowed for their soldiers to keep their genitals for the simple sake of pumping testosterone throughout the body. But the leaders of these criminal groups did not allow their soldiers to breed. The leaders of the criminals would masturbate and collect their semen that would then be used in IVF procedures to take over the world."
"Take over the world?"
"Yes, taking over the world through genetics. The criminal leaders would inseminate fertile females. Outbreeding the rest of the population whose genitals had been mutilated. The criminal leaders were all fighting amongst themselves to outbreed the rest of the population. There were different groups."
Dee was getting agitated by this stage, "What the hell does that have to do with me singing that song?"
"Well, didn't someone explain that to you? About the lost loves…"
"Yes, but…"
"Listen. They're going to come for you. They'll give you a choice. Either the gun or the knife."
"The gun or the knife?"
"Yes, think about it."
Dee thought about it. If he chose the knife he would lose his genitals, if he chose the gun then… Well, they'd probably just kill him outright. Dee went back inside to his home and then heard a bell being rung through-out the street. A man in an ice-cream van was ringing out a bell and calling out over a loud speaker, "Bring him out! He's in one of these houses. Bring him out!"
Dee sat inside as the sound went out across the street. His nerves were slowly creeping up on him as beads of sweat ran across his forehead. Then, coming to a resolution, he stood up in a sudden movement.
He went out to the ice-cream truck. There, in the ice-cream truck, stood a man. "So, what do you want? The gun or the knife?"
"The gun, of course."
The man in the ice cream truck brought out a shotgun. Slowly lowering it in front of Dee's head. Then, he asked, "Why the gun?"
"Because if this is existence. Well, then, fark existence!" The man in the ice-cream truck pulled the trigger of the shotgun and blew out Dee's brains.

The bad days for the big conglomerates Facebook and Google doesn't seem to be over. Just when it became clear that Facebook will have to pay hefty fine for the Cambridge Analytics scandal, Google is back on the data protection authorities' radar.
A potential data breach at Google is being investigated by Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner.
It follows reports that the company's Home smart speaker may have been unintentionally recording conversations among users.
A spokesperson for the commission said it was made aware of the potential breach on Thursday evening and is looking into it.
It is unclear at this stage if any Irish customers had their data compromised.
Spokesperson for the Commission, Graham Doyle, said Google made it aware of the possible breach.
Mr Doyle said: "We received a breach notification from Google on Thursday evening in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and we are currently assessing the information we have."

Built with three defining principles in mind—sustainability, technology and healthy living—Whisper Valley is a $2 billion master-planned community developed by Taurus Investment Holdings.
Whisper Valley opened Phase 1 in September 2017 with 237 lots, and upon full build out, will have seven clustered villages that will include 7,500 single-family and multi-family homes, village-style retail and neighborhood services, restaurants and commercial space.
"Located adjacent to the Whisper Valley Discovery and Amenity Center, Phase II is about to break ground and includes 267 single-family home sites, a dog park, an expanded trail system, additional community gardens and pocket parks," says Douglas Gilliland, president of Taurus Texas. "Phases III and IV are in the planning stages with a total of more than 700 single-family lots being added in phases II, III and IV combined."
Whisper Valley is located just east of SH-130 at FM 973 and Braker Lane. "The community is in East Austin, the fastest growing area in the city," says Gilliland, who brings over 30 years of development and marketing experience from large residential and mixed-use land developments. "It is a very culturally diverse, hip part of Austin where old meets new, and you can always find live music and great art. The popularity of the neighborhood is bringing lots of fresh, new restaurants and boutiques."
The largest zero-energy capable housing community in the nation, Whisper Valley offers homes starting from the $230s. Homes include solar panels and a high-energy efficient geothermal heating and cooling system, which saves up to 65 percent on typical monthly energy consumption.
"Our vision is to attract buyers in Austin who want to lead a socially responsible lifestyle with affordable and energy efficient homes in a sustainable development," Gilliland says. "We came to Austin because there is already an appetite for sustainable living, and we've had a terrific response. What makes us different from other eco-developments is the size and scale of Whisper Valley and the ability to offer high-tech, sustainable homes utilizing renewable energy sources without sacrificing affordability."
Homes in the community meet the carbon-neutral standard promoted by the City of Austin for all new construction homes, and high-efficiency Bosch appliances and Google Nest thermostats help contribute to energy efficiency.
"Through EcoSmart Solution, a Taurus subsidiary, we created and implemented an innovative energy delivery and technology program for every home in Whisper Valley," Gilliland says. "Efficiencies were achieved through investment up front in a sustainable infrastructure, much like developers do for other systems like water and wastewater lines. The result was a revolutionary approach to a new kind of community, and now Whisper Valley is a template for other developers that want to build affordable and green communities."
In addition to the eco-friendly, efficient features, Whisper Valley offers a variety of lot sizes and home styles to cater to a wide range of homebuyers. Phase I includes duplex and triplex homes, as well as 40', 50' and 60' lots.
"Our builders have a variety of attractive floor plans with a mixture of traditional and soft contemporary elevations that are informal, warm and inviting," Gilliland says. "Homes range in size from 1,100- to 3,500-square-feet and come in a wide variety of lifestyle options. The most attractive features are the sustainability and affordability of our homes."
Residents also have access to Whisper Valley's 700 acres of green space, a 5,000 square foot amenity center, a fitness center, geothermal heated resort-style pool, trails, organic community gardens, creative playscapes and an onsite lifestyle director planning community events.
Even though the community completed its first phase less than a year ago, Whisper Valley has been receiving local and national attention for its homebuilding and eco-friendly designs. Whisper Valley was named 2018 Best New Community from the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Greater Austin and the Green Home Builder's 2017 Community of the Year. The Discovery and Amenity Center received Austin Energy Green Building's (AEGB) three-star rating for its efforts in being a contributor to a cleaner environment, and most recently, Whisper Valley received a national Merit Award from the PCBC Gold Nugget Awards for Best Innovative Energy Design.
From first-time homebuyers to growing families to empty nesters, Whisper Valley attracts a variety of Austinites by building zero-energy capable homes in a beautiful setting. "We are seeing a great response from homebuyers who want the latest technology and most energy efficient homes at an amazingly affordable price," Gilliland says. "We partnered with the best companies in the world to design, create and invest in Whisper Valley's technology and infrastructure upfront."
Gilliland continues, "There is heart and soul in this community because we came from a common goal of leaving the environment better than we found it. Together, we are connecting lifestyles that are diverse, affordable, sustainable and particularly healthy for families and singles alike." RL

We analyse three documents central to Swedish archaeology: the Heritage Conservation Act (SFS 1988:950), the DH strategy for 2012-2015 (Regeringskansliet/Kulturdepartementet 2011) and Ordinance (2007:1184) with instructions for the Swedish National Heritage Board (our translation). The first two cover the entire heritage sector. The latter regulates the National Heritage Board, the government authority with coordinating and revision duties in the area of heritage and historic environments. The legislation and the ordinance are legally binding documents while the strategy, as a memorandum, is not. The strategy delineates a direction in which the Ministry of Culture expects authorities to work in order that the government can live up to legislative and political goals.
As a legislative act, the Heritage Conservation Act (1988:950) expresses the interests of society at large, and the contents have been accumulated and negotiated over many years. When it comes to information, the act is very brief. In chapter 2 § 13 it states that a CAB expects archaeological surveys to either document heritage objects or sites, collect objects, and disseminate survey results, or to preserve the heritage object or site. The procedures or forms of documentation are not further regulated by the act. Currently, the Heritage Conservation Act (SFS 1988:950) is limited to information policy on creation and dissemination of archaeological information. The dissemination concept could be interpreted as including long-term preservation, but also as only denoting the circulation of information, in line with the 'least-effort principle'. Later in the same paragraph the act states that surveys should be of good academic quality and be executed at a fair cost in relation to the prevailing circumstances. The concept 'good academic quality' is further developed in the Guidelines for implementation of the Heritage Conservation Act: Contract archaeology (chapter 2, 10-13 §§) (our translation), to which we will return in the section on policy for DL archaeology. The information policy articulated in the Heritage Conservation Act (SFS 1988:950) hence focuses on the creation and dissemination of information. The participants called upon are the CAB and an implied surveyor who creates and disseminates the documentation.
Note 4: As a part of the DH strategy, DIGISAM published the report Digital preservation at cultural heritage institutions - present situation and future needs [our translation, Swed. Digitalt bevarande vid kulturarvsinstitutioner - nulägesanalys och framtida behov] in August 2014.
The DH strategy operates on a meta-level, directing planning, coordination of priorities and revision of authorities' digital heritage information activities. The strategy regulates two kinds of actors directly; heritage authorities and the Coordination Secretariat for Digitization, Digital Preservation and Digital Dissemination (DIGISAM) [our translation, Swed. Samordningssekretariatet för digitalisering, digitalt bevarande och digitalt tillgöngliggörande]. Hence the strategy impacts archaeology unevenly: some of the organisations undertaking archaeological surveys and managing archaeology-related information in collections are authorities (e.g. the Swedish National Heritage Board, the National Historical Museum and the National Maritime Museums). Others are foundations, member associations, or private companies and are therefore only indirectly subject to the strategy. The authorities are instructed to establish guidelines for digital preservation and digital dissemination services and activities, collections, and archives. They are also to establish guidelines for the priorities of digitisation in these three areas. The institutions are expected to estimate the value and importance of digitisation of collections or archives from a public dissemination perspective (section 2.1). The Coordination Secretariat is expected to review the guidelines of authorities (section 2.1), to announce general guidelines with the aim of directing priorities and promoting application of common formats and standards. The Secretariat is also expected to suggest national guidelines in order to support coordinated and cost-effective digital information management in the heritage sector, and to propose an appropriate allocation of responsibilities among government institutions. Another responsibility of the Secretariat is to audit the annual Swedish submission of content to Europeana (section 2.2). The strategy, although it resides on a meta-level, expresses information policy that encompasses activities from creation and organisation to dissemination and preservation. The strategy emphasises dissemination as a central aspect of digitisation (primarily section 2.1). However, the strategy also integrates management decisions such as priorities and audits in its expressions of information policy (section 2.1 and 2.2) (note 4).
The ordinance with instructions for the National Heritage Board, by the nature of the document type, specifies tasks for the National Heritage Board. It states the responsibility to disseminate information on heritage environments, on heritage objects, and on the preservation of the same (3 §, pt 1). Furthermore, it sets out the tasks of curating national databases for heritage information and of keeping a library for research and development covering the topics heritage environments, archaeology, medieval art history, and numismatics (3 §, pt 6; 4 §, pt 8). The articulations of information policy in the ordinance are focused on information organisation and preservation (3 §, pt 6; 4 §, pt 8) and on dissemination (3 §, pt 1). However, the ordinance does not cover the National Heritage Board's entitlement to collect the documents or the information they need in order to disseminate information. The transfer of information to the National Heritage Board is declared in the guidelines for DL archaeology, but only as a set of guiding principles. As for the transfer of information from surveyors to document preservation institutions like the National Heritage Board, there is a gap, and it applies equally to digital and analogue documentation.

About Sitter:
Hello, I am Kimberly and I am a conscientious, non-smoking, garden-loving health professional who has just relocated all the way from Perth, WA. I have had a number of previous positive experiences over the last 3 years with renting and house-sharing homes of various size land and gardens and understand the dedication and commitment required to look after properties.
I am in my mid-twenties and a serendipitous opportunity to train into sonography here in Hobart has motivated my move to Tassie and I intend to make this beautiful city my new home. I believe the best way to get to know a new town would be to meet the locals, find ways to contribute within the community (such as house-sitting) and joining a team sport. I was previously a volunteer paramedic officer back in Albany and Perth, and an active soccer player because I love the strong team work embodied within these activities.
I am more than happy to keep owners informed with regular email and photo updates, provide police background checks and character references, and am very responsive to any inquires you may have.

Ok, so I got a bit of blue yarn as well.
I made a little hat while we were driving up to San Francisco. You may recognize the bridge that we're standing on, it's sorta famous for it's red color.
Did you know that the Golden Gate Bridge is actually named after the Golden Gate Strait, which is the waterway that is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay? Our visiting cousin was wondering, so here's your answer Travis!
The hat was well received, and I felt like at least I can do something with yarn, even though that doesn't include the word knit.
I did however, hire a privite teacher at Commuknity (my local yarn shop) to give me a 1 hr private intro lesson next Tues. night! I'm so excited! Wish me luck!

Beekeeping can be a full time profession or a simple hobby. Yet, more often than not, what began as a hobby would become a profession. But you cannot only determine and tell yourself that you will start to do beekeeping. Before beginning on any hobby or profession, you need to have satisfactory knowledge and comprehension on the subject that you're going to enter. Then it's about time to indulge yourself, if you've been putting off your interest in beekeeping for quite a long time. Bee farming may not seem difficult; by learning the basic beekeeping lessons, you can be got away to a great beginning.
What does a beekeeper should know?
First, you should have full interest on beekeeping to begin at the right foot. You need to spend time taking care of your own colonies of bees. You should have also consented to share your dwelling space. There are potential dangers in beekeeping that can damage not only you but your family also. You then must know the supplies and gear that you will use for beekeeping if you decide to let the bees inside your living space. Your focus isn't just to build an income by selling honey; a good beekeeper should have a keen interest and passion in raising bees.
An apiarist ought to know the right place for the beehives. The place must have sufficient sources of nectar for the bees to get. If you decide to place your beehives at your backyard, you need to make sure that beekeeping is allowed in your area. There are several areas limited to beekeeping; you have to get permission concerning this.
Beekeepers must understand whether beekeeping supplies are offered in the region where the beehives are situated. When you must attend an area beekeeping shop you may never know; it is best that a nearby beekeeping store is not inaccessible.
Protective gear and equipment may also be very important to beekeepers to know. Beekeepers are prone to bee stings; the ensemble that is proper must be worn during beekeeping sessions. Understand the right kind of suit to choose to keep you from any potential danger in beekeeping.
Last but definitely not the least, among the beekeeping lessons you need to find out is that: it is important for the beekeeper to understand the proper manner of picking honey. All the beekeeping efforts would be ineffective in case you are not able to harvest honey from your bees. The methods should be known by a beekeeper in collecting the honey in the comb; beeswax is also part of the returns in beekeeping.

Week in Review
The flurry and futility of 5G protests
Facebook groups opposed to 5G in their community are springing up from Nelson to Mangawhai, but local options to stop 5G appear limited
Last week, around 25 protestors stood outside Vodafone's Auckland's offices armed with parkas and placards.
The parkas were for the inclement weather. The placards called for a halt to the 5G rollout.
It may have been New Zealand's most polite protest.
"It was a hellishly wet and windy day so we handed out hot tea and sandwiches and we listened politely and respectfully for a couple of hours," said Vodafone spokesperson Richard Llewellyn.
He described this as old-fashioned hospitality. "It never hurts to be kind."
There's good reason for telcos to be benevolent. Placards aren't likely to stop 5G.
The flurry of grassroots anti-5G community groups springing up on Facebook have little hope of halting the march of 5G cell towers through their communities. For the most part the telecommunications industry is free to upgrade or erect towers without applying for resource consents.
At present, the only step protestors can take is to boycott 5G by shifting to telcos not using the technology. As time rolls on though, the pool is likely to shrink.
Newsroom spoke to some of the alternative providers on a spreadsheet shared on an anti-5G website which calls for the boycotting of Spark, 2 Degrees and Vodafone. Most said they use Spark's network and will likely offer 5G to customers in the future.
Where does the worry come from?
One of the worries is 5G could cause cancer.
Plenty of study has been done on the link between mobile phone use and cancer. Data from a long-term study has caused concern for some. The study looked at people who had used mobile phones for 10 years or more and found no increased risk of brain cancer in users. However, it did find some indication of an increased risk for those who were heavy phone users.
It wasn't cut and dry though. It wasn't a consistent trend and researchers thought biases and errors limited the ability to prove the increased risk was caused by mobile usage.
The results were enough to get radio frequency electromagnetic fields listed as a possible carcinogen, where it joins aloe vera, pickled vegetables, carpentry and coffee as things where a link with cancer is thought possible, but not proven.
Many scientists were unhappy at the inclusion, pointing out that saying something is a possible carcinogen is like saying someone is a shoplifter just because they were in the shop at the same time a theft occurred.
The World Health Organisation's position on the matter is that a link to cancer is not established, but further research is warranted.
It's not just the age-old worry of cellphones and brain cancer that concerns protestors.
5G may mean the use of higher frequencies known as millimetre waves. There's also what's called beam-forming, where signals are directed to the area needed. There's a call for this 'new' technology to be proven to be safe.
The Ministry of Health's stance is millimetre waves aren't new and have been shown to be safe, and beam-forming will most likely result in lower exposure than existing technology.
New Zealand rules limit public exposures to levels at least 50 times below those at which harm might occur.
None of this appears to comfort a burgeoning number of concerned Kiwis.
Technology commentator Paul Brislen has been following the rise of the anti-5G movement overseas and in New Zealand.
He said protests this time are louder than during the 3G or 4G rollout. This increase in public concern was investigated by the New York Times, which traced concern to stories being spread to a Russian news source RT America.
"It turns out stories about how American 5G will kill people. Russian 5G is fine but American 5G is a different thing entirely and is designed to imprison people in their own heads."
Language in RT America's 5G news clips is emotive. "It might kill you," says a presenter who refers to the erection of cellphone towers as groundwork for a "toxic infrastructure".
These stories were widely shared on Facebook, said Brislen, who has seen a number of Facebook groups start up locally.
"People get very upset and very afraid when they read some of these things."
Brislen has seen claims 5G technology is a death ray used in military-controlled countries and that it's responsible for the death of birds and bees.
What protestors want
Lisa Er, of Lisa's Hummus fame, was one of the protestors who braved the rainy weather to stand outside Vodafone. She doesn't go as far as referring to herself as a spokesperson for the movement because there are groups throughout the country.
She said an overarching goal of the various groups was for the Government to take a precautionary approach.
"Until there is more testing to show that actually, this is safe, then it shouldn't be rolled out."
A current focus of the movement is trying to raise awareness. She said despite a perception they're "tin-foil hat"-wearers a lot of the supporters are mainstream people.
"I really think it's just a question of banging on and banging on to the companies and to the Government until someone listens."
Part of the 'banging on' involves numerous petitions, talks given by lawyer Sue Grey, and a fundraising effort to bring an overseas professor to New Zealand.
The fundraising page, on the Spark Foundation-owned Give a Little website, said Professor Dariusz Leszczynski had offered to talk at public gatherings and offered to meet politicians.
So far, just over half of the $7000 target has been raised.
Pulling the handbrake on the rollout is going to be difficult - Er says because of rules introduced in 2008 that stopped local councils from being able to block cell towers by denying resource consents.
Will protest change anything?
Brislen said in the past local council control resulted in some areas not having cellphone towers. The National Environmental Standards for Telecommunication Facilities changed this.
"That's kind of taken the sting out of a lot of this because local councils can get upset as much as they like and locals as well, but these things meet the standards, and the standards are fairly stringent.
"It doesn't stop the shouting and ranting, but the practical blocking of it is very difficult."
The upgrading of existing cell towers and erection of new towers are permitted as long as rules around size, placement and emission standards are adhered to.
Vodafone's Llewlyn said Vodafone staff shared information from the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation with last week's polite protestors but doubts it changed their minds.
The call to boycott Spark, 2 Degrees and Vodafone hasn't led to an attrition-rate he could pin on 5G.
"If anything it's the opposite, we have had a lot of interest from customers in 5G and a huge amount of pre-registrations."

Anyone else putting new lines on your reels and getting ready to go catch some pre spawn crappie?
I use to head down to KY lake about this time of the year and fish for crappie with minnows and the KY Lake Crappie Rig with two hooks and a weight in-between the hooks. Back in the late 1950's (1958,59) I used bamboo poles and caught a lot of crappie using those big red/white plastic bobbers that clipped onto the 20lb test fishing line. Back then there was a lot of what we called Buck Brush in the bay we fished. You could just dip the minnows into the opening next to a buck brush plant and catch crappie in 2ft of water. But years went by and the buck brush disappeared.
These days I fish a lot differently. Although I did fish a drop shot method back in the 1970s using a bass bait casting reel and 10lb mono line and a 6 ft or 6.5ft casting rod. Just added the KY Lake Fishing Rig with the two hooks and a weight on it and let the line down to the bottom and reel up two turns. That put the minnows in front of the crappie that were on the lake bottom. We sought drop offs and any brush piles we could find. Back then we didn't have electronic and had to just figure it out by trial and error.
Only today would I be able to find the drop off using Humminbird SI and Lakemaster Mapping. But still the brush piles are hit and miss.
But my go to rig for crappie is an ultra light spinning reel with a 5 ft. ultra light rod and 2lb or 4 lb. test mono line with a slip bobber made out of Styrofoam and a light weight lead headed jig. This rid helps me cast the line out away from the boat. I use a bobber stop that's made out of fishing line and can slide this bobber stop up and down the fishing line to control how deep the jig will go. A tear drop shaped bobber helps detect light bites and it offers little resistance when the fish take the bait. And if the fish inhales the bait and doesn't move it take the weight off the bobber and the bobber will float up a 1/4" and top over letting me know that the fish had the jig in it's mouth. I can set the hook when I see the bobber come up a little and tip over and catch the fish before he spits the jig out of his mouth. The jig is weighted to keep the torpedo bobber sitting half way into the water with the white top showing and the red bottom under the water. If I see any red on the bobber then I know I might have a fish on. Little crappie will take this jig as well as 2lb crappie. Sometimes the crappie will take the jig and swim off taking the bobber under the water easily. If you use a tube jig they won't spit the bait out as fast as it feels more natural. And I'll sometimes tip the 3/32oz jig head and plastic bait with a small crappie minnow and add a chartreuse crappie nibble to ad some scent. Dr. Juice for panfish also works.
They key is finding the fish is always key. In the early spring you will find them staging in the deeper waters near the spawning beds. Find the spawning beds and then fish out towards the deeper water by following the ditches and or creek channels to the old River Channel in Reservoirs. Man made lakes are a different devil. There are flat land reservoirs and upland reservoirs and highland reservoirs. Then there Rivers and old oxbows. Each reservoir fished differently. Low land reservoirs like KY lake have the deep old river channel running though them and then flat land on each side of the River. Areas where the old creek channels that run out though the bays into the Old River Channel are the roadways that the crappie use to head into the back of the creeks to spawn in the shallows. Any big bend in the River Channel with a creek intersecting the old river channel is a good place to start in the cold early spring. Follow the creek channel into the back of the bay to find the crappie in early march. Depending on the weather (light, temperature of the air and water, water clarity, and winds) the crappie will move to different depths throughout the day. Crappie like cover and are designed to turn quickly so they can maneuver in the brush and stickups better than say a long nose gar with a long slender body. Take a big fish like a Northern Pike or Muskie and compare that to the flat sides of a crappie and you see what I mean. One is designed for speed straight forward while the other is designed to turn faster. So crappie will relate to drop offs with brush piles or structure like old tree stumps where they can hide in the roots of the old tree stumps. They will hang around weed lines too. Crappie will school up until it's time to spawn =and then they will spread out in the spawning beds. Some will spawn in deeper water and others in shallow water depending on how the light penetrates to the bottom. The light penetration depends on the water clarity and the winds. Hard bottom that can be scooped out and not fall back on itself or silt over is where the crappie spawn. Really soft bottom that won't hold a bowl shape may not be idea but if nothing else better can be found the crappie may try to spawn in this bottom type. But the bigger crappie (males) will fight for the best spawning grounds. Bottom type and depth and cover determines the best spawning spots. Bigger fish may spawn first. But some may spawn deeper in 10 to 12 ft of water if the sunlight can reach the bottom and incubate the crappie eggs. Water temperature at the surface is not the same at water temperature at the bottom. So a drop thermometer can be use to figure the temperature at the bottom where the eggs are laid. But when the surface temperatures reach 65 deg F or about the crappie will be starting to spawn other conditions are right. For example at KY lake the water level has a huge effect on the crappie spawn as the lake can rise and fall due to the Corps maintaining the lake for flood control instead of for the fish spawn. A rising water level will bring the fish up and if the lake is falling the fish will go deeper to spawn. It won't do any good to lay eggs in 2 ft of water that will be high and dry the next day with a lake level that's falling fast.
Now Lakes like Patoka Lake in Southern IN are classified as Highland Lake Reservoirs. They are a little deeper on average and still have some areas upstream that are more like a lowland reservoir. A single lake can have different features in different parts of the lake. Down by the **** vs up river. Up river in Patoka Lake there are a lot of submerged standing trees. The crappie can use these standing trees for cover and be almost anywhere in the submerged underwater timbers. But they still will use the old river bed to travel to and from the spawning beds. Follow the creek channels back into the back ends of the bays to find the fish. And look for creek and old river channel intersections. Patoka Lake has a lot of natural structure in it. Know your trees and seek out the old Oak Trees and Sycamore trees or look for a big tree among smaller trees. Look for old ditches that have not silted in yet. Most of the creek channels are silted in at Patoka. And the current in Patoka are not nearly like those in KY lake. Also the forage fish in Patoka (gizzard Shad) are different than in more Southern Lakes down in Mississippi. Grenada lake has Threadfin shad which need water water to survive the winter and are much smaller in size so crappie can feed on even the adult threadfin shad. Some lakes in Southern IN that are connected to the Ohio River may have Threadfin Shad in them. Hovey Lake in Posey Country is hydrologically connected to the Ohio river. So are some of the old Stripper Pits in Bluegrass Fish and Wildlife Area in Warrick County IN.
Early in the season look for dark bottoms on the North Shorelines that get the most sunlight in the early spring. These banks warm up faster than the banks on the South Side of the Lake. The banks of the south side are hidden from the rays of the sun that come from the south at a lower angle in early spring than in the summer months when the sun is higher up in the sky. Banks with wood and dark bottom are ideal if they are sheltered from the harsh northerly winds we get when a cold front comes though the area. They are sheltered from the North winds and get more sunlight so they water warms up first in the early spring. But as spring turns to late spring the water temperatures may not be so much different due to wind currents. Note too that the winds can blow the warmer surface waters down wind and setup lake currents. A wind out of the south for several days in a row can blow the warm surface waters into the Northern Banks of a lake and create a current that hits the northern bank and cause warm waters to stack up against the northern shoreline or bank. That may be where the crappie are. The winds and currents will move the phytoplankton with the current and the smaller zooplankton will follow the algae that the feed on. The minnows and other fish will follow the food chain. Try the shallows with long range casts so as not to scare the fish when they are in shallow or very clear water. Then back off and fish deeper to find the pre-spawn fish. If the crappie are in the shallows they will let you know pretty fast. They are hungry when in pre-spawn mode and will readily take a jig or minnow if the presentation is right.
Get those hooks sharpened up and lines changed. You don't want to miss a hook up or have a old line break when you get that big 2 lb. crappie to take your bait.
And remember to wash your hands with some mild soap to remove any foreign smells. Did you gas up the boat and get gasoline on your fingers? You know that the smell of oil and gasoline may turn the crappie off and prevent a good bite? Ever wonder why your wife catches more fish than you did? Did you fill up the boat with gas while she went into the stop and go to buy food? She has clean hands and you have gas fumes on your hands. A crappie's brain has more area devoted to smell than any other part of their brain. Most fish live by smells. They can smell things in the PPB range and a drop of gasoline on your hand can transfer to your baits and turn the fish off. A little soap and water will help. That plus some fish scents that are sold at the local bait store. Scenes like Dr. Juice or Crappie Nibbles can make a huge difference in how many bites you get. Crappie University has lectures on just how scents can help you catch more fish. They held a Crappie University Seminar at USI a few years ago and I learned a lot from guy's like Russ Bailey, Doug Sikora and Doug's fishing partner. If you get the chance to attend one of these the next time they come to town I highly recommend them if you are new to crappie fishing or have been doing it all your life. You will learn something new from these guys.
Also the In Fisherman Book Series on Crappie Fishing is a great book to get your started on crappie fishing. They have books on fishing for bass, crappie, catfish, small mouth, Muskie, walleye and panfish. The Critical Concepts Book Series is a good read for any fisherman new or old.
