Series 40 Theme: Customize the Mini Screen
Some handsets, such as fold phones, have two screens. One screen (mini screen) is visible when the phone is closed and the other screen (main screen) is visible only after you open the phone. Often, the mini screen also has reduced functionality. Series 40 themes allows you to set some theme elements to have different values on the mini screen than on the main screen.
How to customize the Mini Screen of S40 Devices using Carbide.ui
The Mini Screen option in Carbide.Carbide.ui Series 40 theme allows you to customize various elements on the mini screen.
After importing or creating the s40 Theme in carbide.ui, you will find a Mini Screen option in the resources view.
The Mini Screen tab contains two sub-options: Colors (Mini) and Images (Mini).
The elements on the sub-options are the same as their main screen equivalents, except that they are applied only to elements displayed on the second screen.
The mini screen elements are all color elements and full-screen images. Typically, if you do not select a specific wallpaper, screen saver, or background for a mini screen, the handset applies the wallpaper, screen saver, and background element (respectively) of the main screen to the mini screen. If no value is defined for the main screen, the handset uses the build-in default.

Jerry Lewis to Receive Hersholt Humanitarian Award at 81st Academy Awards®
Beverly Hills, CA (December 10, 2008) — Actor, director, writer and producer Jerry Lewis has been voted the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Academy President Sid Ganis announced today. The award, an Oscar® statuette, will be presented to Lewis during the 81st Academy Awards ceremony on February 22, 2009.
The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award is given to an individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry.
"Jerry is a legendary comedian who has not only brought laughter to millions around the world," said Ganis, "but has also helped thousands upon thousands by raising funds and awareness for those suffering from muscular dystrophy."
Lewis began making local and national televised appeals on behalf of the newly founded Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in the early 1950s. He has been the organization's national chairman since 1952 and has served as the "number one volunteer" of the annual Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon since 1966, raising more than $2 billion for the cause.
Born in 1926 in Newark, New Jersey, Lewis first found fame as part of a groundbreaking nightclub act with his partner, Dean Martin. The comedy team of Martin and Lewis made their screen debut in "My Friend Irma" (1949) and starred in 16 films together through 1956. Lewis went on to star in more than two dozen films, including "The Bellboy" (1960), "The Ladies' Man" (1961), "The Nutty Professor" (1963), "The Disorderly Orderly (1964), "The Family Jewels" (1965) and "The King of Comedy" (1983). A series of lectures on filmmaking that Lewis delivered as an adjunct professor at USC was published as The Total Film-Maker in 1971.
The 81st Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, January 22, 2009, at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2008 will be presented on Sunday, February 22, 2009, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide.

The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government faces a growing retiree benefit funding problem for its Policemen's and Firefighters' Retirement Fund.
Today, a Task Force met with a consulting firm to find a plan to solve the retirement fund's problems.
Lexington Mayor Jim Gray said this is not an easy task because you want to give dignified retirements to the safety officials, but also be aware that the funding comes from the taxpayers.
Gray added that many factors have gotten us into this position.
According to the Public Financial Management's report, here are just some of the reasons the pension fund is short:
The Task Force will meet again on December 20th to discuss possible plans to fix this problem.
Public Financial Management said this will need to be a shared solution between the city, taxpayers, current employees, retirees, and future hires.

Cadillac made its presence felt at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in a different fashion from the rest of its colleagues, and certainly different from their approach last year when they unveiled the Ciel Concept . Instead of dropping a world debut or even a US debut, the American automaker decided to show off their newest concept car...in a teaser.
Yep. Cadillac didn't show a new concept and it certainly didn't show a new production model. But they did draw up serious interest from a lot of people with what appears to be a new concept car that's scheduled to make its debut at a future North American auto show in the coming year.
No details have been revealed, except for some comments made by Clay Dean, Cadillac's director of advanced design, to Autoweek saying that the new concept will be the inspiration - or at least the peg - for the company's new design language that touches on "American glamor meets American technology."
If an award for vague teasers was given at Pebble Beach, Cadillac would've won it by a landslide. There's not a lot to go by except for a multitude of speculatory guesses that touch on the long bonnet, wide wheel arches, and a unique tail lamp set-up.

A union push for federal "card check" legislation could make things more difficult for small businesses and open workers up to intimidation. The Goldwater Institute stands by workers' rights to an anonymous ballot in union votes, and drafted the Save Our Secret Ballot amendment, already law in four states. While the Obama administration is fighting us in court, we will continue to stand by small businesses and their employees who deserve the right to vote in private.

Shine a Light on Backroom Union DealsPosted on December 19, 2012 | Type: Blog | Author: Nick Dranias
The presence of government unions and the strength of collective bargaining laws explain a large portion of the pay gap between government employees and private sector employees. Arizona could save $550 million every year in excessive pay to public employees simply by banning government union collective bargaining. But the next best reform involves shining a light on the backroom deal making.

Summers are very quiet in the Hadly lab, because everyone is out in the field. This summer, my research on extinction and diversification in insular lizard communities took me to the French Caribbean. I spent eight days on Grande Terre and La Desirade, catching lizards, hiking, learning French, and outsmarting tropical storms with two undergraduate research assistants in tow. Our mission was to evaluate the islands for future paleontological work. These islands were chosen because little fieldwork has been done previously, and unlike many island in the Caribbean, they are largely limestone in composition, providing the necessary substrate for fossilization in caves and fissures.
Saint Francois served as our port of entry into La Desirade, a small island off the coast of Grand Terre. Unless you have your own private plane or boat, you have to take the morning ferry to get to La Desirade. During the Late Pleistocene, we could have made the journey by foot, because these two islands, along with Basse Terre, are part of a larger island bank that was exposed during the Last Glacial Maximum. Many islands in the Lesser Antilles are connected in this manner, and as an island biogeographer, I am interested in the ramifications of island fragmentation on faunal assemblages.
The ferry companies each make one roundtrip every day to this former leper colony. We used one of our two days on Saint Francois to visit the surrounding areas, including Pointe du Vent, which was excavated previously (Pregill et al. 1994). The area has since been developed into a residential community, so our paleontological prospects were minute, but we seized the opportunity to survey the lizard fauna. As expected, Guadeloupe's endemic anole, Anolis marmoratus was prevalent, but we also found the gecko Sphaerodactylus fantasticus in leaf litter.
La Desirade was full of surprises. On the uninhabited Eastern and Western ends of the Route Principale, we found the endangered Iguana delicatissima, which is endemic to the Lesser Antilles. With a historical range extending from Anguilla to Martinique, Iguana delicatissima has been extirpated from many of these islands due to hunting, predation by introduced species, and habitat loss. Interbreeding with the introduced green Iguana (Iguana iguana) poses an additional threat to the genetic integrity of this majestic lizard.
The fauna of La Desirade are rivaled only by the island's geology. The basement rock from the island is the oldest geological unit of the Lesser Antillean island arc (Cordey and Cornée 2009), and originated in the Pacific ocean (Baumgartner et al. 2004). On top of these units are Quaternary limestones, the rock of interest to us. La Desirade, like the rest of the Lesser Antilles, is geologically heterogeneous and extremely complex. It is this complexity that makes the system appeal to me.
I was truly impressed by the beauty of this system, and I look forward to future fieldwork here, including excavating some units that we found. These data will be integral in understanding the history of diversification and extinction not only on the Guadeloupe Bank, but in the Lesser Antilles as a whole. As island area continues to change due to sea-level rise, faunal assemblages will continue to change, and insight from past events can assist us in understanding the evolutionary trajectory for extant and future populations.

The Greatest Story Never Told
It seems the majority of Americans have joined me in realizing what a crappy movie Noah is. Take the Bible out of it.

Take all that out and Noah was still a pretty pathetic movie. | Read More »

This post couldn't have come at a better time. I was literally just searching for C tables!
I have the tables from World Market and they're fantastic. Very sturdy and easy to put together. Like with most C tables, I don't put too much weight on the non-supported end, but it's nice for light use.
I like how the Ikea C table has a bit of storage built into the top. Very handy for pens! (which I somehow always need....)
I bought my C-tables at CB2 and love them! They were very similar to ones at Room & Board but cheaper (around $90). Not sure if they still have them. We eat in front of the TV all the time (I know, bad!) and use them in place of TV trays which I hated. Sometimes it gets a little crowded because they're smallish, but they're perfect for our needs.
@thorndale We added felt strips that stick onto the bottom so they don't scratch the hardwood.
Actually, the CB2 versions we got are exactly the ones shown above from Crate & Barrel, which makes sense since they're the same company. We bought them several years ago so they were much cheaper!
Ana White has a DIY plan for one of these on casters. Several people hacked her design to add storage and she has the pictures on her site.Her basic design has extra support that makes the unit sturdier.
I have an expanding tray table from Improvements that I use for my laptop. They also offer one with a slide-out tray. Both are now on sale for $49.99.
In addition to the Crate & Barrel C table shown here, CB2 offers three other C tables, one of which is Plexiglas and it's on wheels. The birch bentwood one is currently on sale for $99.
We have the Foundry C tables, and have for a few years. I still love the look and style of them, but I wish I had paid a bit more for the ones I really wanted. The metal powdercoat is already starting to wear off in places, unfortunately, and the lower quality is showing.
World Market has some nice ones. They're on sale now from $40-$60. http://www.worldmarket.com/search.do?query=laptop+table

Dairy Today Healthline
The 7.5 rule: 7.5% of the herd should become pregnant each month. This parameter is derived by dividing the herd size (both lactating and dry cows) by the calving interval expressed in months or weeks.
The 80:80 rule: 80% of all cows should be bred for the first time by 80 days in milk. First-insemination efficiency is another way of expressing the same idea, simply the percentage of cows bred for the first time between the voluntary wait period plus 21 days.
The 80:150 rule: 80% of the herd should be pregnant before 150 days in milk. Monitor cows that conceived 30 to 60 days ago and calculate the percentage that conceived before 150 days in milk.

Of course you wouldn't!
'cause, you need at least a 15 feet line for a flanking bonus (you; your target, and your flanking ally on the other side, 5 feet for each) .
Next, I guess, will be the furniture for the lower rooms of the complex...
So true, I can't see anyone on HGTV saying, "Now, the reason I positioned the dresser 10 foot from the bed so you can take advantage of a flanking bonus during an encounter"
Looking good.
Of course you wouldn't!
'cause, you need at least a 15 feet line for a flanking bonus (you; your target, and your flanking ally on the other side, 5 feet for each) .
Next, I guess, will be the furniture for the lower rooms of the complex...
I like it! But if you want to do more work on it, I can come up with some ideas:What do you guys think? I think it could use some work, but I am not sure what...
- does the tile texture Bogie found you looks a bit strange here? - perhaps remove it and see what it looks like without?
- does the colour of your grid seem to fight with the colour of your cavern floor?
- your lighting is really great! But I'd like for it to be even stronger than you have it at the moment. Consider increasing the contrast between bright and shadowy areas on your map, which might make it look even better and more mysterious.
- maybe you could put some shadows along the foot of your wall, to make the wall pop out a bit?
Good suggestions, as always.
I was a bit wary of increasing the darkness too much as, from my experience working on the Duergar forge, stuff that just appear "kinda dark" on my screen, are quite a bit darker on other people's. I don't know why; Maybe it is due to the change from a GIMP to a compressed PNG file...
Maybe I should twick the colour of the "mud gird" a bit...
Anyway, I deviated a bit from NAthan's original plan and made up a statue to give me something to work light and shadow effect on (looking at it again, I think I need to darken the base a bit to match the statue better)...
Simon, you don't need to make a map darker to make it more shadowy. For example, I added a layer of white and a layer of black to your map really quickly to illustrate. Now I know that other people might not like my bleached-out style, but I'm just trying to point out that shadows do not require a darker map.
Here is the black and white layer. You can just stick these two over your map (normal layer - don't do overlay or blending or anything special) for this effect (by the way the black and white maps are simply exact opposites of each other):
I like it. I might use a pale yellow layer instead of a white one though, but it seems very close to the effect I would like to achieve with much smoother light halos than I can manage.
Can you give more details as to how you achieved it? Is it just very blurry halos or did you use a mask?
I really like the effect... Thanks!
It's very easy Simon. You do each light source one by one. I used the 'make a circle shape' tool to make a big circular shape around one of the light sources, then I filled the circle with a gradient fill (white>transparent). I then used the lasso tool to remove areas I thought would be in shadow. Repeat for all four lightsources on four layers. Then merge the four layers. Then make a new black layer over this, go back to your white light layer, select all to alpha, then delete that from your black layer. Then reduce the opacity of both layers to 40%.
Interesting, I will try that tonight. Thanks!

Submissions have closed. Get information on the outcome of this consultation.
Due to concerns about the future viability of the critically endangered Maui's dolphin population, the Minister of Conservation has asked the Department of Conservation (DOC) to consult on a proposal to vary the existing West Coast North Island Marine Mammal Sanctuary.
DOC is now seeking submissions on the Minister's intention to vary the West Coast North Island Marine Mammal Sanctuary to prohibit commercial and recreational set net fishing between two and seven nautical miles offshore between Pariokariwa Point and the Waiwhakaiho River, Taranaki.
The purpose of the proposed variation is to provide greater protection to Maui's dolphins from the risks resulting from set net fishing (commercial and recreational). The risk of fishing-related mortality on Maui's dolphins is dependent on the degree to which fishing activity and Maui's dolphin distribution overlap.
The Minister believes this proposed variation to the sanctuary is necessary under the Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978 for the protection, conservation and management of Maui's dolphin, given:
The Notice of Intention to Vary the West Coast North Island Marine Mammal Sanctuary was notified in the New Zealand Gazette on 12 September 2013. There is a 28 day period for submissions.
Due to the high level of interest in this consultation DOC is making a series of background information available.
You can find more information on what the proposed variation to the sanctuary involves including the consultation document, cabinet paper and all the relevant background material here:

The St. Joseph County Prosecutor's Office has determined that police acted appropriately when the shot and killed Edward Mwaura on June 2.
Police shot Mwaura in his ex-wife's home while, they report, he was stabbing his 6-year-old daughter, Shirley Mundia. Police fired two shots, both hitting Mwaura and killing him. Mundia died a short time later from her injuries.
Mwaura's ex-wife, Lucy Mundia, told police that Mwaura had taken several knives and attacked her after he arrived at the apartment and she told him that he was not welcome.
According to the Prosecutor's Office, a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney decided not to prosecute Mwaura for the May 30 arrest because their review found an invalid protective order. The prosecutor's office says there was a valid order, and the release of Mwaura should not have happened.

A Masterton teenager sentenced to community detention six weeks ago for a driving rampage that included deliberately smashing into two police cars was back in court yesterday on fresh charges.
Dylan John Terry, 18, unemployed, did not enter a plea to dangerous driving and driving while disqualified, offences police say occurred in Carterton 19 days ago.
Terry was remanded on bail until November 22 by Judge Peter Hobbs to give him a chance to seek legal advice.
Duty solicitor Jock Blathwayt said that when the charges were laid Terry had applied for legal aid but had been refused.
Mr Blathwayt said in view of "previous offending", Terry needed legal advice and the judge agreed, telling Terry he should apply to have his legal aid application reconsidered.
On September 27, Terry was sentenced to six months' community detention, nine months' supervision, had his driver's licence cancelled for 18 months and was ordered to pay reparation of $33,450.
He had pleaded guilty to burglary, reckless driving, failing to stop for police, and two charges of aggravated assault relating to the ramming of two patrol cars. The burglary charge involved an earlier offence.

One of the most popular books in recent memory is Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. So popular, in fact, it was made into a major motion picture starring none other than Julia Roberts. It's the story of a woman whose marriage falls apart and whose emotional well-being runs aground.
The antidote to her situation? Travel.
While Eat, Pray, Love is an original story, it is built on a theme that is widely understood — the need to get away during the inevitable trials and tribulations of life, and the ability of travel to shore-up our flagging emotions. Literary and cinematic history are filled with books and movies featuring protagonists who step out of their stalling lives by traveling to new climes.
Despite all that, the bracing effect a well-planned vacation can have on our state of mind is one of the most underrated benefits of travel.
According to mental health experts, visiting new venues serves as a reprieve for the mind. It breaks habitual patterns and interrupts our assumptions. A psychologist at Loyola University Medical Center points out that, in addition to being restful, travel can be intellectually stimulating. Time spent with family and friends can strengthen bonds with friends and family members. It is also an occasion to experience new food, music and culture.
Regardless of how much we enjoy our home life and careers, we inevitably become bored and stagnant in our routines from time to time. Travel offers a break in the routine and a chance to recharge. This is part of the magic that occurs when putting some distance between ourselves and our everyday world.
One travel industry observer points out that writers have long been aware of this phenomenon, changing their geography to stimulate creativity or overcome writer's block, (perhaps explaining why so many books and movie have been written about that — and related — themes).
We have had the privilege of personally witnessing the healthful effects of travel on our very own guests. It is one of the reasons we are passionate about our business.

The Waikiki Aquarium offers a sea of volunteer opportunities that provide the chance to teach residents and visitors about Hawai'i sea life and conservation. The Aquarium will hold free interpreter training beginning on Tuesday, January 14.
Interpreters share natural history information on the Waikiki Aquarium's outdoor reef exhibit, guide visitor observations and answer questions about Hawai'i's marine environment. The training course covers interpretation and hospitality skills, information on exhibit operations, and various marine sciences. Interpreters work one two-hour shift per week for a minimum period of six months.
Eight training sessions will be held every Tuesday and Thursday evening from January 14 to January 30 from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon in the Waikiki Aquarium classroom. One-on-one sessions will then be scheduled for on-the-job training. Each trainee must attend the eight sessions prior to acceptance to the program.
Interested parties can call 440-9020 or e-mail email@example.com for more information or to schedule a meeting and reserve space in the class.

It's seems like something out of the movie "Footloose." A Vermont High School pulls the plug on school dances for the rest of the year.
The principal Jeff Maher says that he made the decision after seeing too many students dancing provocatively at past events. He says that inappropriate dancing like grinding doesn't represent the school's values, and many parents have complained to him in the past.
Meanwhile, parents are blaming pop culture.
"They are bombarded by society, by TV, by magazines, you know, with these crazy actions, but I think when you talk about it, they'll maybe understand a little bit more," said one parent.
Another parent agreed.
"The school should work with kids to work out differences and continue the dances," he told Stowe Today. "They're kids. They need monitors to watch for risqué or provocative behavior, but I don't think that's a reason to cancel dances."
Right now, the prom is still on. The other four school dances have been canceled. The principal says he's open to discussing different dance guidelines in the future.

That said, I had notching with DS, and know some others here did as well, and it turned out to be much ado about nothing. It stressed me out. So, I am not too optimistic in the reliability of this test for predicting problems.

Plastics like styrofoam currently take up between 25%-30% of our landfill space, and a single cubic foot of styrofoam has the same energy content as about one and a half liters of gasoline.
College pals Eben Bayer and Gavin McIntyre established Ecovative, which grows cost-effective alternatives to plastic insulation and packaging. While they were students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Bayer and McIntyre experimented with mycelium, the network of vegetative filaments in mushrooms, and realized that it could be used to form incredibly strong bonds. Essentially, the substance functions like a glue that you can grow and use to form agricultural byproducts like plant stalks and seed husks into natural alternatives to styrofoam packaging and insulation.

2010: The Year in Misrepresentations
The new year approaches, and your AJC PolitiFact Georgia team is growing misty-eyed. Although we launched only six months ago, we already have cherished memories of pants we've burned, or slightly singed. As the AJC Truth-O-Meter winds down for the year, we thought we would share a few of those moments when we smelled flames. Here, in chronological order, are the summaries of some of our favorite untruths and misrepresentations of 2010:
By Willoughby Mariano :: Published on Monday, December 20th, 2010 at 06:00 a.m.
Last week's themes: Money and Power
Last week's themes were money and power. AJC PolitiFact Georgia used the Truth-O-Meter on General Assembly Republicans, who stripped power from Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and cheerily called it a "power-sharing agreement." We tested former President George W. Bush on his record on the national debt. And to mark the start of Atlanta's fledgling bid to bring back the Super Bowl, we looked at the last time the game came to town. The Atlanta Sports Council said its economic impact was $292 million. Was it really that much? Join us on Twitter and Facebook for our latest updates.
By Willoughby Mariano :: Published on Sunday, November 21st, 2010 at 06:00 a.m.
As election approaches, Truth-o-Meter whirls
With only days to go until Election Day, candidates kept the Truth-O-Meter whirling last week. Our trusty meter ventured overseas and back again for claims on Mexican workers, Chinese wind turbines and Washington health care. Homegrown controversies over political TV ads on the rape shield law and education funding were also up for inspection. No one fared well. All our rulings were Half True or worse. Election Day is Nov. 2. Want to comment? Try us on Facebook or Twitter.
By Willoughby Mariano :: Published on Sunday, October 24th, 2010 at 06:00 a.m.
Truth-O-Meter stuck on Half True
The Truth-O-Meter spent much of the past week stuck on Half True. Hope as we might that politicians and pundits would be beacons of truth, they struggled to get things right on everything from mammograms to the federal budget. In one case, both Democrats and Republicans fumbled on the same issue: foreign money in U.S. elections. And in one case -- taxes -- a Republican got it mostly right. Want to comment on our rulings? Try us on Facebook or Twitter. Here's how things went down:

On Wednesday, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will
consider a final rule to protect tarpon that, if approved, will be the first step in addressing among the most brazen cons in our state's fishing history.
It is story dark with irony, but brighter days are ahead — if the commission takes
this bold step and designates tarpon as a catch-and-release-only species, and also
bans snag-prone tackle.
I'm talking about the so-called "Boca Grande jig." Jigs are among the most effective and benign lures in the world, so what's the problem? To help you understand, I've decided to throw some sunlight on Florida's dirty little fishing secret in the hope that our commissioners will make the right decisions.
The con I am talking about is "floss-fishing," — a technique that dates back to the
days when European peasants fished for survival, not sport. It's a deliberate method
of snagging trout and salmon in fast-flowing rivers. In the 1990s, a Boca Grande
captain and his friend used the same concept when they designed a "lure" that
would catch tarpon even on days tarpon were not feeding. They wired a heavy
weight to the bottom of a circle hook — not at the eyelet, like a true jig, but at the
hooks bend, or "belly." The hook had already been canted with pliers. To disguise
the rig's true intent, a colorful rubber adornment was added to make it look like a
legitimate fishing lure. A true masterstroke was to name what, in fact was a snagging
device, "a break-away jig."
As the two innovators proved, "floss-fishing" worked equally well on tarpon that
school in the fast tidal rips of Florida's west coast. They won a lot of money.
Imagine you are in a boat, and drop this rig into a school of tarpon stacked 40 feet
high — thousands of silver kings. These tarpon aren't feeding (in this scenario), nor
are they unaware. Even so, the jaw structure of a tarpon is such that the side-flaps
of its mouth (the maxilla or 'clipper plates') and its gills are exposed targets. These
flaps are hinged and sometimes flare slightly outward, not unlike the backside of
a human ear. When your fluorocarbon line makes contact with this bony flap, the
line is sometimes funneled — flossed — toward the inside hinge of the mouth or its
gills. The hinge, as it narrows, becomes an effective guide. Soon, as the boat moves,
or the fish moves, the flow of line is halted by an abrupt collision: The hook, given
additional mass by the heavy sinker, either loops and buries itself outside the
tarpon's mouth, or it bounces free. If the hook does stick, the startled tarpon panics,
naturally, which causes other tarpon to panic, sometimes through a haze of hooks
and lines, which can create the illusion of a momentary feeding frenzy. Shrewd, huh?
Key elements to this technique:
• A heavy (3-6 oz.) sinker must be attached directly to the belly of a hook,.
• Tarpon must be stacked in a contained area, which is why this technique is so
effective in Boca Grande, but useless offshore, or in our back bays.
• The hook must be extremely sharp and is more effective if it is a circle hook
canted slightly using pliers.
• Low-visibility fishing line — fluorocarbon — and a gray sinker are best because
deception is imperative.
• A high-speed reel, to rocket the hook upward through schooling tarpon, and a
good boat handler all add to the likelihood of success.
The most devious thing about this technique is that, if you are being paid to produce fish, your clients, if inexperienced, will never question why the tarpon they landed is hooked outside the mouth after "bumping" or "nibbling" at the hook.
The seven-member FWC can make monumental changes by
designating tarpon a catch-and-release-only species and by passing a draft rule
prohibiting gear rigged with a weight attached to the bottom of the hook, in order to
reduce snagging of tarpon in Boca Grande Pass.
These are both critically needed protection for tarpon in the state. Concerned residents can contact an FWC commissioner at www.myfwc.com.

is dedicated to providing you with the best in customer service. Below are the answers to many of the most common questions to self storage. If your questions are not answered here, please feel free to call us at
» What's the difference between office hours and gate hours?
The office hours are the hours of operation for the property when the facility manager will be available to assist you with your
storage needs

Book Review: Guest of Honor: Booker T. Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and the White House Dinner That Shocked a Nation Deborah Davis
Guest of Honor: Booker T. Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and the White House Dinner That Shocked a Nation
Deborah Davis
Atria Books
No doubt the vast majority of Americans did not realize that October 16 was the one hundred and eleventh anniversary of the day that Booker T. Washington, a former slave, dined at the White House at the invitation of President Theodore Roosevelt. When I relayed this information to my students, they did not get the significance of the invitation or the dinner. After all, I had taught them that black people built the White House, and it is currently occupied by a black family. What was the big deal about a dinner?
I had to remind them–this is why I cannot give a comprehensive final!–that in 1901 America was a bubbling cauldron of racism. The Civil War and Reconstruction were over, and so was the role the federal government had briefly played in ensuring the rights of African Americans. Jim Crow had taken root and separate but unequal was the official law of the land. In 1901 about ninety percent of the African American population still lived in the south where they toiled as sharecroppers on plantations, and one hundred five blacks had been lynched. The Republican party's push to appeal to more white southerners meant the purging of black voters from the party. So inviting a black man to the White House for dinner was, to quote Vice President Joe Biden, "a big f------ deal." It also caused both men an enormous amount of trouble and threatened to derail their friendship.
In Guest of Honor, Deborah Davis draws an excellent picture of two men who, although they lived in different worlds, had a great deal in common, including the fact that they were both sometimes bedeviled by very strong-willed daughters. The two men met in August, 1898, in New York. This was after the Spanish American War, so the conversation centered around the
war in general and the bravery of the Buffalo Soldiers in particular. By the end of their talk each man was convinced the other could be part of "a new team of forward-thinking leaders to tackle contemporary racial issues," and their friendship began. Thereafter their paths crossed on a number of occasions, and as Roosevelt rose in politics, he came to rely on Washington's advice with regard to all manner of issues related to the black community, especially political patronage. They regularly exchanged letters, and Washington spoke with Roosevelt whenever he was in the capitol. Indeed they had planned to meet on August 30, but the crush of responsibilities both professional and personal led Roosevelt to decide that it would be more advantageous to kill two birds with one stone and invite Washington to dinner.
Both men calculated the cost of the invitation. Roosevelt, somewhat ashamed at his second thoughts and full of his usual bluster, dashed off the invitation quickly before he could change his mind. Washington wondered if this should be one of those invitations to an outing that he often declined to save himself embarrassment. But he convinced himself that the invitation was not only his, but that of the entire black race, and so he went. In the minds of both men, the evening was a smashing success.
A stringer for the Washington Post performed the common practice of checking the President's schedule and wrote a one line announcement of the dinner. The story was first reported by the Atlanta Constitution, a newspaper well known for its unfair and racist treatment of blacks, and its reporters had a field day. Dining with a black person was just one step from miscegenation. As newspapers across the south picked up the story, the response became more racist and vitriolic. The dinner became the impetus for organized violence and lynchings of blacks for it served to reawaken whites' fears of Negro success, and a hit man was hired to murder Washington. For the first time, there were critical stories and obscene cartoons about the
First Lady of the United States; she had been at the dinner. For years the story was used in political campaigns to remind white voters of the consequences of black success and racial equality.
Guest of Honor is popular history at its best. While not scholarly, it is well researched and sourced, engagingly written and highly readable. Davis offers a brief biography of both men in alternating chapters and does a fine job of placing the Roosevelt/Washington dinner within the context of the time. The book is a propitiously timed reminder of the complicated relationship African Americans have with the White House and the presidency.
Dr. Marilyn K. Howard earned a BA in criminal Justice from Ohio Dominican College; an MA in political science from The Ohio State University (Thesis: The Entrance of Black Voters Into the Mississippi Electorate) and her PhD in American history from The Ohio State University (Dissertation: Black Lynching in the Promised Land: Mob Violence in Ohio 1876 - 1916). She was an associate professor in the Social Sciences department at Columbus State Community College, where she now holds the same position in the Department of Humanities. Dr. Howard has twice received the Distinguished Teaching Award from Columbus State, and was twice recognized as an outstanding staff member by the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development. She was also named a top educator by Ohio magazine. Dr. Howard has served as an editor of the Southern Historian, a freelance book critic for the Columbus Dispatch and Ohioana Library. She has published essays in a number of anthologies, including the Encyclopedia of Racial Violence in America and the Encyclopedia of Jim Crow. She continues to conduct research on the lynching of black men by white mobs in Ohio.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – The Newtown Elementary School shooting sparked debate about gun control in America. It's also the reason behind a training workshop for church leaders held in Louisville Sunday.
About 70 participants attended the workshop at Louisville Presbyterian Seminary to learn how to keep a congregation safe when gun violence happens at church.
"The course is for church leaders that want to keep their buildings and their people safe," church representative Jim Garrett said. "So they don't have firearms, they aren't firearms experts, but they want to make sure that people are safe when they come to their buildings."
Participants learned how to deal with active shooter scenarios, security training policies and how to minister to a congregation after an act of violence happens.

Love that one of my atomic "girls" made this promo for NPR's Weekend Edition: Colleen Black, 88 years young. Tune in this Sunday, March 3, from 8 to 10 AM to hear more from Colleen, Celia Klemski, and me as we talk about the Manhattan Project and "The Girls of Atomic City."
So happy—and frankly stunned—to see The Girls of Atomic City in the March issue of "O, The Oprah Magazine." The mention is part of a nice list about how to spend International Women's Day. Do any of you gals—or guys—have plans?
Today, if you drive through Oak Ridge, Tennessee, you can see some things that seem out of place. Old guard towers frame the city's corners, certain exit roads are restricted access, and a large contemporary billboard reads "Y-12's trash can be an enemy's treasure!" with a stock photo woman haphazardly throwing wadded up paper over her shoulder.
Oak Ridge was formed by the government in 1942 as part of the Manhattan Project—made famous for the production of the atomic bomb. Surrounded by mountains and dubbed the Secret City, the rural area was kept hush-hush by residents. At its peak, 75,000 men and women lived in the city and few had any idea of what exactly was being produced.
For the most part, the workers were quarantined. A unique side effect was an abundance of leisure activities: from one of the nation's largest outdoor swimming pools (still in operation) to swinging dance halls.
Photographer Ed Wescott, 91 years old and living in Oak Ridge, made one of the most intriguing photographic archives in US history. (A good number of his images can be seen here: http://photosofedwestcott.tumblr.com/.) Wescott documented the construction of the city and the people working and living there. His images are lyrical examples of American life—men jumping on trampolines and women at the hair salon—and in retrospect, they all have an underlying gravity.
The Y-12 National Security Complex and several other government facilities are still operating today. With proper photo identification, some paperwork, and $5, you can tour the old graphite reactors as well as several plants, and see the Y-12 museum.
After hearing about the important things made there, like precision parts for space travel, a fellow traveller on my tour inquired about the facility's current projects. The museum guide replied that she was not privileged to know their status and promptly moved us to the next video.
The city keeps its history alive with the American Museum of Science and Energy, train excursions, tours, and the Secret City Festival. Held annually in June, the event boasts the largest and one of the only WWII reenactments in the South (many of the people I spoke with also participate in much more common Civil War reenactments.)
For further reading, I recommend Atomic Spaces: Living on the Manhattan Project by Peter Bacon Hales (on the non-fiction side) and Jefferson Bass's Bones of Betrayal (for a fiction book). Jefferson Bass is actually two authors, one of whom is Dr. Bill Bass, creator of Tennessee's own Body Farm (yet another fascinating Tennessee treasure).

This long-awaited Joss Whedon-produced horror flick finally gets its first official trailer.
Back in 2009, Joss Whedon wrote (and "Cloverfield" writer Drew Goddard directed) an homage to classic horror films called "Cabin in the Woods." Two years later, and all we got was a poster.
In the meantime, of course, star Chris Hemsworth went from "Who?" to "Thor!", and Whedon was handed the keys to the biggest superhero crossover movie to date, "The Avengers." Thanks to that, the studio has decided to not give "Cabin" the "Trick 'R Treat"-ment (short version: Inexplicably dumping a really good horror effort on home video).
First we got a release date (April 13, 2012) and now, the first official trailer. And it is a head-scratcher. Did you think this was a deliberately old-school "campers get slaughtered" pic? Think again. And then get back to us with your theories about what exactly is going on.
Once again, "Cabin" arrives next April, followed almost immediately (and conveniently) by that little superhero thing that Whedon and Hemsworth are futzing around with.

Police had to go door-to-door looking for the guardian of a 2-year-old boy that was found wandering by himself.
The incident occurred at the James A Cayce Homes on South Eighth Court.
The toddler was found walking alone in a diaper and a shirt, but no one could figure out where he belonged.
After knocking on every door, police found the child's uncle, identified as 29-year-old Richard Shye.
Police said Shye was supposed to be watching his nephew while his sister was at work. He was charged with child neglect.

After a 7 minute single in "Lawman" at the start of the year, a 24 second follow-up in "The Cha Cha Cha", and then the critically accalimed, visceral hissy-fit of "De Bom Bom" ("could this be the best track ever?" - Tom Ravenscroft, BBC Radio 6) the Irish four piece today join us here at Domino Publising.
Formed a couple of years back and influenced by the likes of Bad Brains, Swell Maps, James Chance and...
Avi Buffalo | 10/09/14
We are pleased to welcome new signing Avi Buffalo to the Domino family. Embarking upon a sophomore effort can be a daunting task for any young upstart, and there's no denying Avi Buffalo's own bar was set quite high with 2010's celebrated eponymous debut. Fear not, dear fans/family/friends/friends of friends/newcomers, there's nothing in this tale about The Second Album—a.k.a. At Best Cuckold, due September 8th in Europe and September 9th in North America on Sub Pop—that even remotely...
An absolute gem of a recording, passionatley brought back into the limelight from 1979 to 2013 by Trunk Records.
"The Cults Percussion Ensemble must have one of the best group names of all time. To many it will immediately come across as something sinister, a touch spooky and possibly a bit dramatic too. They are certainly two of those but the use of the word "Cults" here is easily misinterpreted. Cults, in this case, is the suburb of Aberdeen. I'm going there next week in fact, with a strange costume.
This is the only album by the group. Assembled by percussion...

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Slapping a tax on soda will not make people slim down.
So says a new study from UW-Madison. Lead researcher Jason Fletcher said soda taxes in places like Arkansas and Ohio caused people to drink less. But it did not affect their total intake of calories, and therefore did not have a direct impact on obesity.
The last time Wisconsin considered a pop tax was in 2007 -- two cents a can to help dentists treat low income children. That idea never went anywhere in the state Legislature. Neither did a soda tax in 2006 proposed by the Wisconsin Dental Association to increase Medicaid reimbursements for its member dentists.
A federal tax was discussed in 2010, but was soon buried.
Congress and other states proposed soda taxes in the name of fighting obesity. But Dr. Zorba Pastor of the Dean Clinic in Oregon -- south of Madison -- says youngsters will just drink other things with heavy sugar, like orange and grape juices.
Pastor tells WISC-TV in Madison that obesity has actually gone up since diet soda was introduced, and there's something in soda that gets people hooked on it.

Whoa, this is so neat, like a preview of what we'll be playing 10-15 years from now on our Nintendo HoloScreens. Of course, by then we'll find some excuse to complain about our dissatisfaction with it.
You can fiddle around with a 3D version Brendan Bottomley made that lets you view it from different angles here. S/o to @brandonnn for the link.
