"I think I may have scared the maid this morning," said fellow prime-time star Robert Knepper, aka. "T-Bag" the psychopathic murderer on television series "Prison Break." Knepper is in Paris filming Luc Besson's "Transporter 3." Prima ballerina Eleonora Abbagnato nipped in after rehearsals nearby at Paris' Opera Garnier. Vivica Fox, meanwhile, disclosed she'd be designing her first denim and sweatsuit fashion line in December. She said she will also be the new host of a talk show program on VH1 dubbed, "Vivica Fox Presents: Styled By." "Candidates will be called to style looks for the red carpet," Fox said.
"I feel like Marilyn Monroe," said actress Moran Atias when her chiffon dress, caught in a draft, started billowing. "And I don't want to die young." Atias, who finished filming "Mother of Tears," said she was off to start a new film project in Australia. Looking to plant French roots, Paris-based Australian songstress Micky Green said, "I'm getting my visa tomorrow. I can finally get an apartment now." Green's album, "White T-Shirt," will be released in the United States in June.
GREAT SCOTT: Forget after-show parties. Jeremy Scott's groupies, including the French band Rock & Roll, New York deejays the Misshapes and style blogger Cory Kennedy, got mighty rowdy during the countdown to the show, held in the Palais de Tokyo. Musing on the collection's theme and opulence backstage, the ever-humble Scott — who later sent models down the runway in green dollar dresses — revealed his most extravagant belonging to be a giant fiberglass bust of his truly. Model Anouck Lepère was up to mischief. "I'm gonna go downstairs and steal some artworks," she said, sporting the show's cat burglar eye makeup. The Belgian model remained mum about speculation that she's set the date to wed Jefferson Hack this August. Fellow model Chanel Iman entertained staff with tales of how she recently stepped in for her air hostess mother on a flight. "I served drinks from a trolley. The guests were very well behaved," she said. Scott's Agyness Deyn was missing in action, however, having flown back to London suffering from a nasty eye infection.

BIG FLATS, WI (WTAQ) - A sheriff's deputy in central Wisconsin and another man were both shot and wounded Tuesday evening.
Adams County sheriff's deputies said they and officers from the town of Rome were called just after 7:30 p.m. to a report of suspicious activity in the town of Big Flats.
Officers entered a residence and shots were fired – and both a deputy and a male in the building were wounded. Other details were not immediately released, including the victims' names or their conditions.
Officials said there's no danger to the public as a result of the incident, and an investigation continues.

PASCO, Wash. -- Friday evening the Tri-Cities Fever will battle the Texas Revolution. The Fever's record is 1-1. Texas is 0-2. Tri-Cities comes off an impressive win in its home opener over Nebraska on SWX. Now Tri-Cities looks to keep up with the momentum gained. It should be a great chess match as coaches from both sides used to work together.
"Well they're a scary team because they have a lot of talent and they haven't won a game yet. They've played on the road twice. Two tough places as well. But they have their first home game. So I'm sure they're excited about that. I know Coach (Billy) Back personally," Fever head coach Adam Shackleford said.
"We know they like zone defensively. They play similar coverages to what we saw last week against Nebraska. So in zone we got to be smart. Quarterback has to be smart and receivers have to be smart to find holes in the zone," Fever quarterback Kasey Peters added.

What Is the Vision for Short-Term Missions At Your Church?
The following is an edited transcript of the audio.
What is the vision for short-term missions at your church?
I said in a previous question that everybody should want to do short-term missions. One of the reasons for that is that we're a global church, and seeing the way the church functions outside of your own culture is enriching, broadening, strengthening, and deepening, and it gives you a bigger picture of God.
So one of the functions of short-term missions is all of those things: more of God, learning to trust him more, learning how he works in another culture, learning what missionary life is like, taking some risks yourself. All those things are good for us.
Secondly we want it to be good for missions. So part of the strategy is to make sure that missionaries want you to come before you go. That would be a part of it.
And, thirdly, many long-term missionaries were birthed through their experience in short-term missions. So for recruiting or inspiring more long-term missionaries, I think a program of short-term missions is important.
The world has become very small. It's a global village, and globalization is an increasingly obvious reality. And for us to be ethnocentric or culture-centric would show that we don't have an appreciation for the breadth of God's kingdom and the complexity of his church.

Authorities found a missing 18-month-old girl behind an abandoned home early Wednesday, but police still have lots of questions about how she wound up alone.An extensive search was conducted around Orbit Circle in Ellenwood after Tiona Jenkins was reported missing around 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Police went door to door and searched a wooded area. Finally, four hours after being reported missing, the child was found by detectives at a vacant home about three houses from where she lived. She was said to be okay.Police said the little girl was with her mother, grandmother and great aunt when she went missing. Investigators believe someone put her behind the home after learning she was missing. They says she was not crying or upset, despite the fact that she was found alone in the dark behind the home. The child is in the custody of the Department of Children and Families until they can determine what happened. The child's mother, 24-year-old Tearah White, told FOX 5's Portia Bruner the family was questioned about her disappearance, and that she hasn't seen Tiona since she was found. She says she's not sure when she will get to see her child.

Mayra Montero
Adult Fiction MONTERO
Summary: Havana, 1957. On the same day that the Mafia capo Umberto Anastasia is assassinated in a barber's chair in New York, a hippopotamus escapes from the Havana zoo and is shot and killed by its pursuers. Assigned to cover the zoo story, Joaqu'n Porrata, a young Cuban journalist, instead finds himself embroiled in the mysterious connections between the hippo's death and the mobster's when a secretive zookeeper whispers to him that he "knows too much." In exchange for a promise to introduce the keeper to his idol, the film star George Raft, now the host of the Capri Casino, Joaqu'n gets information that ensnares him in an ever-thickening plot of murder, mobsters, and, finally, love. The love story is, of course, another mystery. Told by Yolanda, a beautiful ex-circus performer now working for the famed cabaret San Souci, it interleaves through Joaqu'n's underworld investigations, eventually revealing a family secret deeper even than Havana's brilliantly evoked enigmas. In Dancing to "Almendra , " Mayra Montero has created an ardent and thrilling tale of innocence lost, of Havana's secret world that is "the basis for the clamor of the city," and of the end of a violent era of fantastic characters and extravagant crimes. Based on the true history of a bewitching city and its denizens, Almendra is the latest "triumph" ( Library Journal ) from one of Latin America's most impassioned and intoxicating voices.

Playing quarterback for Maryland is like visiting the Bermuda Triangle.
On Sunday the Terrapins incredible season of bad luck with quarterbacks took another bizarre turn with news that freshman Caleb Rowe has a torn ACL in his left knee and is out for the season. Rowe is the Terrapins' fourth quarterback this year, and third in a span of eight days, to go down with a season-ending injury.
"I've never been through anything like this," Maryland coach Randy Edsall said. "Somebody ought to do some research to see if this has ever happened before."
In Saturday's 20-17 loss at Boston College, Rowe was injured on the Terps' penultimate offensive play, a scramble on which he was tackled near the Maryland sideline. Edsall saw Rowe's knee twist and asked him if he was okay. Rowe answered in the affirmative, but felt pain this morning when he arose. The injury was confirmed via MRI on Sunday.
"I feel awful for Caleb. I know how excited he was to get his opportunity to be the quarterback of this team," Edsall said in a statement. "Caleb has a bright future ahead of him and we will do everything we can to support him through the rehab process."
In his starting debut on Saturday, Rowe completed 23 of 42 passes for 240 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions.
The injury leaves Maryland without a quarterback. Last week, Edsall revealed that walk-on Dustin Dailey had been grounded by academics. The only other quarterback on the roster, Ricardo Young, is sitting out this year after transferring from New Mexico.
Edsall will turn to two freshmen who played quarterback for their high school teams, but came to Maryland to play other positions. Linebacker Shawn Petty (6-1, 230), a 2012 graduate of Eleanor Roosevelt, will start next Saturday at home against Georgia Tech (3-5). Petty guided ER to a 10-1 record last fall, throwing for 1,244 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The backup will be tight end Brian McMahon (6-4, 230), a 2012 graduate of Atholton. McMahon led the Howard County school to an 11-1 record last fall, passing for 1,289 yards and 14 touchdowns and running for 772 yards and eight scores.
Edsall said he has no plans to convert sensational freshman wide receiver Stefon Diggs to quarterback.
"We have complete and full confidence in Shawn in what he can do and what he'll be able to bring to our team as a quarterback," Edsall said.
In the preseason, Maryland lost junior C.J. Brown, the only Terps quarterback with college experience, to a torn ACL which he suffered in a non-contact drill. Last week, in a 20-18 loss to North Carolina State, freshman Perry Hills suffered a torn ACL in the second quarter, and sophomore Devin Burns went down with a Lisfranc fracture (foot) in the fourth quarter.
Maryland (4-4) remains alive for an improbable bowl berth. But reaching the postseason will be difficult with an emergency quarterback and a daunting schedule which includes Florida State (8-1), Clemson (7-1), and North Carolina (6-3).
"We still have games we gotta play and we want to win," Edsall said. "Everybody now has to do their part and contribute a little bit more. They know Shawn's gonna be the quarterback and everybody's gonna rally around him and do everything they can to make him successful."

Hidroxizin, a piperazine antihistamine structurally related to buclizine, cyclizine, and meclizine, is used to treat histamine-mediated pruritus or pruritus due to allergy, nausea and vomiting, and, in combination with an opiate agonist, anxiolytic pain. Hidroxizin is also used as a perioperative sedative and anxiolytic and to manage acute alcohol withdrawal. Hydroxyzine\'s active metabolite, cetirizine, is also used as an H-antagonist.

SOPHIA (WVVA) -- Residents of Sophia spent President's Day planning for economic development at their first Blueprint Community meeting. This kicked off a year long process they will be going through to grow the economy and capitalize on what they already have.
"We want to make sure we get off to the right start and make sure we find out what common things people are interested in... It's more like a marathon than a sprint," says Carl Marcum, team coach.
"Today's meeting is good to lay the ground work for an agenda throughout the next ten months; to say what it is Sophia needs and wants to do and get an idea from the team and community members of some assessment type items," says Andrea Salina, Director of Community Strategies for the WV Community Development Hub.
Ideas include focusing on natural resources, minimalizing the drug problem and enhancing the railroad system, all to bring visitors back into the community.
"They go away. They go to places to find something to get into, so we've got to create some things for people to get into around here," says John Fanary, team leader and local business owner.
Sophia will meet again in April at a two day conference with the other 2013 Blueprint communities to exchange ideas and progress, continuing in their year long journey.

As retirement plans have come to hold an increasing proportion of the nation's wealth, the number of lawsuits claiming violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") has mushroomed. Goodwin Procter has defended — and defeated — a variety of high-profile ERISA claims at both the trial and appellate levels, as well as in administrative and arbitral proceedings. Our clients in these matters have included asset managers, record-keepers, bank trustees, insurance companies, plan sponsors, plan administrative and investment committees, and corporate directors and other individual plan fiduciaries.
In each case, we field a multi-disciplinary team with the expertise needed to achieve the optimal result. Our experienced ERISA trial lawyers draw regularly on the substantive knowledge and background of lawyers in our ERISA & Executive Compensation, Financial Services, Labor & Employment, Securities Litigation & SEC Enforcement,Tax and other practice groups. With our expertise in financial services and capital markets, we are uniquely positioned to defend ERISA litigation that challenges the way in which retirement plan assets are managed and administered.
We have represented clients — and secured significant victories — in a wide array of cutting-edge capital market ERISA litigation and regulatory investigations, involving, for example, the investment and valuation of ERISA retirement plan assets, so-called "excessive fee" litigation, employer stock drop cases, and the effect of a change of corporate control on ERISA plans. Our ERISA litigators have secured significant victories outside of the capital market context as well, such as successfully representing a major insurance company in multi-district class action litigation challenging the way in which HMOs provide care under ERISA-governed health and welfare plans, and defeating cases and class actions challenging the denial or modification of benefits under ERISA plans. Goodwin Procter's ERISA Litigation practice is nationally ranked by Chambers USA 2014, The Legal 500 United States 2014 and U.S. News & World Report in 2013.

This video will give you a good chuckle. Little Isaac has so much enthusiasm about telling the story of Adam and Eve. He somehow manages to slip a few details about how we were saved from Adam's sin as well. Children are definitely a blessing.

There is breaking news from the campaign trail. In the race for D.C. mayor, there is now a most unusual candidate.
Somebody out there in Twitterville is promoting a giant panda for mayor!
"That's good. That's good," said one person on the streets of Northwest D.C. Thursday.
"A panda? I'd be a little concerned about that," says another.
Yes, the early polling is mixed. Our giant panda bears are a national treasure, but are the bamboo-munchers worthy of your vote?
"Well, you know, I have to think about that," says D.C. Councilmember Tommy Wells, who represents Ward 6 and is running for mayor also. "You know there are a lot of good things about pandas. They're both black and white."
Ward 2's Jack Evans is also running.
"Well, we need another candidate in the race and a new point of view and I think the panda can bring that point of view to the discussion," he says. "We now have eight candidates. This will make an even nine."
The @PandaforMayorDC Twitter account opened February 8. It already has more than 100 followers, including Mayor Vincent Gray's campaign for re-election.
His manager says, "Mayor Gray likes pandas, but during this election, he is focused on real issues and real people."
There are a couple of eligibility requirements for candidates for D.C. mayor. First of all, you have to live in the city. All three pandas at the National Zoo qualify there.
Secondly, you need to be registered to vote in the District for at least a year prior to the election. That one might be a deal-breaker.
But Wells says laws could be tweaked a little.
"I think we could work this out, but also the panda would have to fully support statehood for our city," says Wells.
It would sure be a heck of a symbol.
"Some people say the city's a zoo," says Evans. "So who knows?"

Stayed in Miami on April 12,2008 and the cruise departed the next day, Sunday at 4PM. Got at the Port of Miami a little before 3PM and cruised through the boarding process. Bags to room timely.
Disembarking involved some waiting in line for Customs, but it wasn't too bad.
Gratuities of $70 per guest for formal dining room waiters, etc. are included in your final bill. I like this, as opposed to dealing with the envelopes, etc. at cruise end.
Our inside stateroom was quiet and just fine, but bring a small clock. Beach towels, hair dryer are provided in your room. TV in room provides that days menu, ongoing bill itemization, etc.
Medical staff was great. All and all, this was a great cruise and ship for the money. Carnival is as good as Royal Caribbean and in some ways better, at a cheaper price. I would definitely sail Carnival again. Just choose the right ship, like the Valor. First time cruisers, you probably should start out on a shorter cruise, to see if cruising is for you.
Lido Deck dining was above average on most occasions. Burgers and pizza were just OK. Deli had real good sandwiches. Unfortunately, I never tried the Chinese or Fish n Chips, since they were only available during the afternoon. Great TexMex buffet for the cruise end party. Twenty-four hour room service was above average and always fast. Ice cream was great from inside Rosie's but just OK at the outside machines. Generally, I would recommend getting your meals in the formal dining room, when possible. You pay a reasonable price for soda but lemonade, punch, coffee, iced tea and hot chocolate are free.
I never tried the Supper Club, but I wish I had. All and all, really good food and plenty of it.
Just toured and shopped on Caymans, Roatan Island and Belize. We did rent a jeep on Cozumel, at one of the rental agencies just off the pier. Only $66 for the day, plus gas. Rode around the entire island, with certain sight seeing, souvenir stops. One road goes around the entire island and is easy to travel. Most beautiful coastline that I have ever seen, including Hawaii. They also have dune buggies for rent. I would recommend doing this for the price, freedom, views and fun.

Discontinued: Olympus XZ-1
The Olympus XZ-1 is doing its farewell tour as a current product. At least two major New York retailers are listing XZ-1 kits as discontinued and no longer available for purchase. Here is the black XZ-1 kit discontinued at B&H Photo and the white XZ-1 kit discontinued at J&R World. Both B&H and J&R continue to have the opposite color respectively in stock but already J&R marks the remaining black kits as "while supplies last".
This does not (necessarily) mean the camera is going to disappear overnight. A number of retailers continue to have the two body colors in-stock, including Amazon itself which offers the black for $316 and the white for
$320 $335 (changed shortly after original post). Considering the situation, you/we may want to place a price "falling knife" watch on it.
For a refresher on the camera, check its list of completed reviews.

Fishy Dude/Dudet?
I just wrote this blog post for International Angler and I thought some of you who might not follow their blog might enjoy it as well….. Stay Fishy My Friends!
Tight Lines and Loose Pants,
Someone Put a Hex on my Skiff!
OK… with all of the weather challenges, newbie mistakes, budget constraints, etc…. One might read this and wonder if that is true. But seriously….. no joke…. Literally…. Someone put a HEX on my boat! Last night CW and I went out to the garage to start drilling holes in the transom and this is what I found hanging out in the flotation foam of the bow.
Being that I live not a quarter mile from the banks of the Ohio River I suppose this is no grand shock but it still made me smile…. Even though it might technically be a Hex (assuming my absolutely crappy entomology skills identifying this bug correctly as a Hexagenia Limbata) I will instead consider it a good omen and a harbinger of things to come.
Now if only I can finish this boat before the first snow. Ughhhh!
Microskiff Build Progress
So building a boat is not as hard as it looks….. However, building a boat is more time consuming that it looks! I thought for sure I could get her done 3 weeks ago. Ummmmm… NO. I still have a good two weeks of solid work to go and that is being optimistic. I have also spent about twice what I originally thought I would. Some of this can be chalked up to total rookie status mistakes. Some of it is allowing myself to stray from my budget for things that I really wanted (maybe not needed) to have in the boat. The rest of it is truly a story of how a bunch of little things can add up to a lot.
So, do you have any regrets you ask? Heck No! I could not be any more pumped about how she is turning out. My only real regret is waiting this long to do this. The really fantastic part of the experience that CW and I have shared so far is truly crafting her to be exactly what we wanted her to be and nothing that we didn't. That is hard to get from a stock boat off the lot. The pride of craftsmanship is much the same as catching a fish on a fly you tied or designed but in a much larger scale. If you have ever thought about building a canoe, jon boat, drift boat, skiff, etc…. The only thing I can tell you is GO DO IT!
I will keep you all posted as things move along. We will be flipping her this week so things should start to look pretty different.
Tight Lines and Loose Pants,
Mortality, Dad, and Bass Fishing
So the last couple weeks were a bit crazy. My father was taken in for an unexpected triple bypass surgery. There was no massive heart attack, no stroke, no drama. Just the worry of watching your father face the fact that at 70 plus, certain parts need some repair work. I am not a tremendous sky is falling worry kind of person by nature but I'd be a liar if the thoughts of my father laying there with his chest cut open as they used veins harvested from his leg to fix his heart didn't scare me.
My brother and I both made arrangements to go down and stay with him for a few days to help out. My dad called me a few days before my departure and tells me that he has arranged for his friend Barry to take me out Bass fishing for a few hours on Sunday morning. At first I argued a bit but he was firm about having already arranged the plans. Perhaps I could have argued harder but I could tell it made him as happy as it made me to be on the water.
I am sure it bothered him not to be able to be there…. truthfully it bothered me. Fishing was the glue that held my father and I together through many years where we didn't see eye to eye on much else. As Barry and I walked the shoreline of multiple Boca Raton water hazards my mind wandered through many of the fishing adventures that my father and I had been on through the years. Hail storms in the middle of Raystown Lake…. Busting bronze and pike in the Georgian Bay….. Watching my bobber disappear as my dad helped me get the tiny hook out of the 100th bluegill we caught on Lake Arthur.
My trip down amnesia lane was rudely interrupted as my black wooly bugger came tight and the dance was on. It was far from the largest bass we have ever pulled out of these waters but it put a smile on my face. I am not much of a religious guy but I found myself giving a nod to the fish gods for the gift and a nod to the man upstairs for the gift of time with my dad.
Dad, get well… get strong…. and keep fishing. You wouldn't want your kid to show you up with a fly rod next time I am in Florida.
Tight Lines and Loose Pants,
Presque Isle on the FLY!
CW and I just got back from our annual trip to Presque Isle Bay on Lake Erie. To say the trip was anything short of epic was an understatement. Despite cold water temps and a crowded lake, we managed to carve out a bunch of sweet fish, cool takes, and even scratched a few things off the bucket list! I will do a full write up on the weekend shortly but here is a video with some of the highlights.
Tight Lines and Loose Pants,
So It's Starting to Look Like a Skiff!
Well damn! I must admit I had a few nervous moments as the pieces were being prepped and cut but if my eyes don't deceive me this looks a bit like a boat. OK, maybe I was only a little worried but it was super exciting seeing it start to take shape. Yeah, I know the photography sucks on this but the only thing I had with me was my iPhone as my brother had borrowed my SLR for a conference he was attending so hopefully you get the idea.
Big time thanks to my buddies Bob and Rich because this part is most definitely not a one person operation. After running out of wire and having to strip out some scrap romex, we managed to get it basically stitched together. Now that things are in one piece and my tiny garage space isn't as much as an issue I am excited to see things start to accelerate quickly.
It is pretty amazing how much the properties of the wood start to change once you have a few layers of glass and epoxy soaked in. You can already feel it begin to take on the rigidity and durability that comes along with it. The next step is to put spreaders into the hull and give her some shape. Once that is set we can fillet the seams and go to town. Keep your fingers crossed folks as this will be coming down to the wire for our trip out to Presque Isle this month.
Tight Lines and Loose Pants,
Fly in the Ointment…. Bee in the Epoxy
So the truth of the matter is that the early stages of boat building are not all that exciting to watch. Pieces are cut, fiberglass is wet, sanding is…. well sanding. Until the day comes when you start stitching things together and they actually look like a boat it is truly hard to show a ton of progress.
As would be par for the course this year, mother nature has made things a bit more difficult than I would like. Skiff Central…. I mean my garage…. is not heated or air conditioned and in order for epoxy to cure correctly, temperatures need to be within a certain window. Needless to say with our most recent snow in April fiasco they were not in said window. This really slowed things down for a week so I am not trying to play catch up.
Last night I began glassing my last side panel and sandwiching together my transom. I came out to look and there was the proverbial fly in the ointment… or in this case a bee in the epoxy. Sadly for him he will meet an even worse face as he will soon be sanded into oblivion. Goodbye cruel world.
If all goes well, I should have things ready to stitch together this weekend!
Tight Lines and Loose Pants,
So when I started this project I purchased an old Evinrude and a trailer from my neighbor that had been rotting away in their back yard. The trailer is for a small boat or PWC and has wheels just about the size of the ones on my kids Matchbox car. I stopped in at a local boat yard and they had a set of used 12″ wheels in decent condition for $40…… SOLD! One can of white spray paint later and we have new wheels!
As this build moves along it is amazing the lessons that you learn… some cheap, some expensive. For example, last night I learned that you can't let epoxy cure when the temperature in your garage drops down to freezing over night…. Looks like I have some sanding work to do.
Tonight we will be finishing the hull pieces and hopefully be starting to stitch by the weekend!
So You Want to Build a Skiff?
I have been told that I am just a hair on the crazy side on more than one occasion. The tendency to take the path less traveled somehow seems to find me even when I am not actively searching for it. So began this journey. If you knew me as a kid, you would know that I grew up chucking plugs from an 18′ Lund V Hull that my fathers employees aptly named "The Master Baiter". (mom was so proud) My father ended up selling the boat as I got older and have been a walk and wade fly fisher for over 20 years. Deep down I have always missed having the boat and would often lament to my wife about the day that the kids grow up and I can buy my dream boat.
Long long long story short, I decided that that time was now. No… the kids are not grown up. No I don't have the budget for the boat I had my eye on…. and I truly had no clue what I was going to do. As luck would have it, my friend Dale Fogg is a pretty handy guy and makes beautiful hand crafted fly tying stations. He turned me on to J and J Dream Boats (https://www.facebook.com/JJDreamBoatsImagineThat on FB) up in Union City, PA. Jim and Joan are truly amazing folks and not only do they sell beautiful hand crafted drift boats, but they offer classes for the novice (like me) who would like to build their own.
Now, if you have read any of my previous posts you'd know that I had purchased a small hull with the notion of rehabbing it. After some sense was talked into my head by Mark Sikora up at International Angler, I realized that the boat did not have enough displacement to carry the weight of what I wanted to do…. So at that fateful moment, a skiff was born! I found a perfect set of plans for what I wanted to build on Bateau for a fair price but if you look hard enough, there are plenty of free plans available in books or on the web.
My journey started with a FaceBook message and then a phone conversation with Jim and Joan. They were not only helpful and insightful, but they agreed to schedule a class to accommodate my crazy schedule. In a full day, Jim walked me though each and every step with hands on experience and patient explanation.
Not only did I walk away with knowledge, confidence, and excitement, but Jim fed me a lunch of some of the best deep fried blue gill fillets I have ever had! According to Jim, Joan caught most of them and is deadly with light tackle.
J and J have sold boats to all different kinds of folks, including some of the most well known guides in Pennsylvania.
So building a 16′ boat is at times not a one man operation so I recruited my good buddy CW and my neighbor Rich to give me some much needed help. (I pay in beer, but always really really good beer!) So this week it began with the goal to have the boat in the water for our late May pilgrimage to Presque Isle Bay.
Yes… I know, I know… It doesn't look like a boat yet. The early stages are a ton of prep and joining of boards. Stay tuned for more to come as things take shape. We are still searching for a fishy name so if any of you have some cool ideas, let us know!

When did you attend your last CPR class? Did you know you could attend a CPR class for pets?
Here are some scenarios you and your pet could find yourselves in and reasons why you might want to learn pet CPR: drowning, fight by wild life, fall from a staircase, sofa, bed, etc., head injury, or hit by car or fallen debris.
Always use caution when you approach any injured animal. Even your own pet might be under so much stress that it will bite or scratch you.
A pet CPR class will teach you how to handle pet emergencies. You will learn how to find a pet's pulse, how to listen for the heartbeat and signs of alertness you need to look for before you try pet CPR.
Depending on the size of your pet, you need to know how many compressions on the heart are needed for each blow of air through the pet's nose. You will learn what to do, before during and after a hurricane with your pet in class.
A slide show will illuminate pets' bodies and internal organs. A dummy dog will be used to make sure you learn the right steps to save a pet.
Canine college will offer a pet CPR class once a month from now through July. The cost will be $15 to make sure that we reach as many people as possible. The more people who are able to perform pet CPR the better the chances to help injured pets after a hurricane or in daily life.
Please join a pet CPR class before hurricane season starts. Classes are also offered by the Red Cross and sometimes by local veterinarian offices.
For more information or to sign up please call Canine College at (561) 626-0552. Our next class will be on March 14 at 6:30 p.m.
Birgit Edler is the owner of Canine College in Juno Beach, which offers grooming, training and day care services for dogs and cats. Call (561) 626-0552 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Economic Activity and Labor
How Do Americans Spend Their Time?
The American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which has been sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau since 2003, provides information about how people in the United States spend their time on an average day 1. By including valuable information about what activities people do during the day and how much time they spend doing each, the survey creates a larger picture of employment. For instance, on an average day in 2006, people spent 3.40 hours working. However, only about 45 percent of the entire population (51 percent of men and 39 percent of women) worked on an average day. Among the civilian population, the average daily number of work hours was 7.59 (8.04 hours for men and 7.04 for women).
Not surprisingly, sleeping was the most time-consuming daily activity for the civilian population as a whole. Leisure and sports came next, with 5.09 hours; much of their leisure time was spent watching television (about 2.58 hours a day).
It is important to recognize that time allocation can differ significantly among subgroups within the civilian population. Consider, for instance, that the average workday for employed adults aged 25 to 54 with children was eight hours in 2005. This subgroup used significantly less time for sleeping (7.6 hours) and leisure (2.6 hours) than the civilian population as a whole, seemingly to compensate for the extra hours spent working.
ATUS data also provide information about the timing and location of certain activities. For instance, we can see how many people work on weekends or at home. It turns out that in 2003–05, about 32 percent of employed people worked on an average weekend day. Among those holding more than one job, 57 percent worked weekends. More interestingly, 18 percent of single-job holders aged 15 and older worked at home on the average work day. For multiple-job holders, this proportion is 32 percent. The proportions working at home are higher for self-employed workers (47 percent) and those with a bachelor's degree or higher (33 percent).

Italian with a Twist: 7 Takes on Tiramisu
Our apologies if you prefer cannolis or gelato. Our favorite Italian dessert is - and always will be - tiramisu. We love the classic espresso-and-ladyfingers version, of course. But have you ever had tiramisu with strawberries? Or made one with beer?!
• 1. Amaretti Tiramisu from Gourmet - Nutty amaretti are a great alternative to lady fingers.
• 2. Beeramisu from 101 Cookbooks - A shot of porter stands with the coffee in this version.
• 3. Limoncello Tiramisu from Epicurious - This sounds so refreshing!
• 4. Creamy Strawberry Moscato Torte from the New York Times - Melissa Clark's wine-y twist on tiramisu.
• 5. Tiramisu Cupcakes from Martha Stewart - Drenched in coffee syrup and topped with marscarpone frosting. Yum.
• 6. Individual Tiramisu Cups from David Lebovitz - Perfect for a party. Or portion control?
• 7. Best Tiramisu from Jamie Oliver - And finally, the classic tiramisu for all you die-hard fans out there.
What's your favorite version of tiramisu?

I know people will be clenching their chests and telling Elizabeth "It's the big one" but my favorite tiramisu recipe uses...wait for it....TWINKIES!!!!
It was featured in the "Guilty Pleasures" episode on George Duran's "Ham on the Street" Food Network show. I loved the fun twist.
I've made it for various events and have put up a bottle of chianti to anyone who can guess the "secret ingredient." I still have the bottle of chianti.
To "Seldomeys" there is no alchohol in this recipe.
hey! since thanksgiving & pumpkin season is upon us you might wanna check out the pumpkin tiramisu recipe at epicurious!
I've made it for Thanksgiving for the past two years in lieu of pumpkin pie. It's a hit! RICH/SIMPLE & dreamy.

Taylor's Tale - A Victory for One is Victory for All
Taylor's Tale was founded in honor of Taylor King of Charlotte, NC, who was diagnosed with infantile Batten disease in 2006 at age 7. Taylor's family and friends refused to accept a life without hope for people fighting Batten disease and other rare diseases. Rather than take defeat, they embarked upon a journey to save not only Taylor's life, but the lives of millions faced with a tragic illness without a single approved treatment.
Taylor's Tale raises funds for Batten disease research and promotes public awareness of Batten disease. We also serve as advocates for the greater rare disease community, which includes 30 million Americans and 350 million people worldwide. With your help, we can write the happy ending to Taylor's Tale.

Should be a great Chamber Bowl Senior Allstar game when these fellows along with other allstars from North Atlanta area suit it up on December 22nd at Lambert High school at 1:00.

These are all great football players. I will look forward to seeing many of these players at the Chamber Bowl.
Congratulations to Coach Hepler on a great year. The recognition as Region COY is well deserved.
Congratulations to the players from North Forsyth that made this list. Although the Team's win-loss record does not show it, they had a great year in all other aspects of the game, particularly these individuals.

No Travis Marshall?

Region coaches make the nominations. They typically analyze who are the high impact and difficult to scheme against players in the region. Most coaches agree that the running backs where the key to the Hooch's offense not the QB – fact not politics.
Marshall is a really nice athlete and smart. Navy has a good player.

Where is A.J. Erdely, West Forsyth, Sr. going next yea?r saw him on tv looked pretty good.

Marshall should have made the list. The more mind boggling part is the second team DB's. how does #20 for Alpharetta not make it but both JC DB's make it first team at that . I'm sure there great kids but they are all-region caliber. The defensive player should have been 42 for alpharetta the kid was every where in every game. This is politics cause overton is not the best Qb in the region and certaintly not the best athlete. #5 for hooch, Wiezcrek for West, but it is what it is

Enjoyed watching Ryan Bennett and Christian Robinson from Centennial this year. Ryan's vision, quickness and hitting from the mike was a treat to watch. Christian's speed, hands and leaping ability were simply electrifying.

I am a longtime Packer fan and I honestly have nothing against Norcross. But, after watching their games with Parkview, Chattahoochee & South Gwinnett, I don't see them hanging with the Packers.
I'll be the first to admitt that I missed it on my prediction of the Camden/Norcross game.
I sure wish I could watch that Game. If anyone knows a website, please let me know.
I assume that Norcross looked like a totally different team than I have seen.
I know high school kids can be sporadic in their performance but If the Pack plays like they are capable, and minimizes turnovers, then I predict Pack wins Friday night by 21.
Hope both teams play their best & honestly, "may the best team win"!

President Obama and his reelection campaign are betting heavily that American voters are not ready to elect a wealthy wizard of the global economy to the highest office in the land.
Mitt Romney is not the first Republican presidential candidate with a background in business to run, but the challenger is the first who became rich in the exotic realm of private equity investment. The Democrats are trying to take what Romney has offered as his top credential for the Oval Office during a sluggish economy and use it to discredit his candidacy.

When shopping is good for you
Yes, sometimes retail therapy has a place. Just try to be aware of shopping to beat the blues, and don't overspend.
When you're sad, you see the world differently, says Scott Rick, a professor of marketing at the University of Michigan whose research focuses on the emotional causes and consequences of financial decision-making. Rick says people who are upset often think they live in an environment that's out of their control. One way to restore control, he says, is by making choices about what to buy.
Decisions can be between material items (a pair of shorts versus jeans) or what to consume (a smoothie versus a milkshake). Studies show retail therapy is less effective for feelings like aggression, but Rick says purchases –- cheap or expensive -– can help relieve mild depression.
Despite its benefits, retail therapy is shunned by many consumers. "I think it's unpopular these days to say you shop for pleasure because we're supposed to be in some stoic state in this post-recession economy," says Kit Yarrow, a professor of psychology at Golden Gate University in San Francisco who studies consumer trends and behaviors. "I think shopping serves as a healthy purpose for a lot of people. If it works for you, you should not feel guilty. Do it, enjoy it and don't overdo it."
April Lane Benson, author of I Shop, Therefore I Am: Compulsive Buying and the Search for Self, says consumers must be conscious of their shopping behaviors. Although retail therapy can have positive effects, she says it can easily evolve into a spending problem. "We turn to instant gratification when we feel distressed," Benson says.
Yet sometimes a quick pick-me-up is necessary. Margaret Meloy, a professor of marketing at Pennsylvania State University and co-author of the 2011 study "Retail therapy: a strategic effort to improve mood," says people must diffuse negative emotions before they worsen, or they could lose control of their shopping behaviors and act recklessly with money. Such untreated depression or frustration can push people to spending extremes.
A key difference between healthy and compulsive shoppers is that compulsive buyers often experience remorse when they get home and see what they bought, Meloy says. Meanwhile, consumers who use retail therapy modestly don't regret their purchases. "There isn't this kind of upward and then downward spiral as there typically is with compulsive shoppers," Meloy says.
People who use retail therapy appropriately are not only happier but may also be more confident, perform better at work and express themselves more creatively, according to Yarrow.
Yarrow says when consumers shop with purpose, using a checklist (written or mental) of things they need, their purchases can make them feel more equipped to handle certain situations. A prime example: couples with a baby on the way. "A lot of them just go crazy at the mall, but they're actually imaging themselves as parents," Yarrow says. "When people visualize their new life through the process of shopping, they feel more in control and more prepared."
Compulsive shopping expert Benson recommends shopping for meaningful reasons instead of material items: "Shop for a hobby. Shop to deepen a relationship. Shop for a place to volunteer your time."
There are, of course, other healthy alternatives to retail therapy. Rick of the University of Michigan says, "If you can dust off a decision you've been waiting for at home –- how to rearrange your bookshelf or where to plant that new flower in the garden -– I think it would have similar positive effects."

Parents support schools in teaching health education, according to a survey conducted by the Ohio Department of Education. A total of 1,500 Ohio parents were surveyed.
The results show that families want trained or certified professionals teaching health topics and want the information to be complete. Although there are topics that parents feel are not appropriate for young students, most surveyed parents feel that health topics should be taught at all grade levels.
Those responding to the survey support state standards in health education and support less local control over health curriculum decisions. As a result, parents seem to feel that health education should be more integrated into the school curriculum and consistent across schools. Parents are also very supportive of schools encouraging health behaviors such as physical activity, nutrition and tobacco-free environments.

TORONTO -- In coach Randy Carlyle's estimation, the Toronto Maple Leafs have had to make last-minute lineup decisions much more this season than usual, and the health of David Clarkson forced them into another one.
With Clarkson deemed "questionable" by Carlyle to play Saturday night against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Leafs recalled tough guy Frazer McLaren from the AHL's Toronto Marlies.
McLaren, who cleared waivers before the trade deadline, would be playing in his fifth post-Olympic break game if he takes Clarkson's spot in the lineup.
That Clarkson was still bothered by a pulled muscle in his leg which seemed to start during Friday's practice came as a surprise to Carlyle. Following the morning skate at Air Canada Centre, the veteran coach left open the possibility the Leafs could dress 11 forwards and seven defencemen or make a recall, as they did with McLaren.
"It's always tough when you're missing quality players, and nobody wants to do that, but in the situation if the player is not deemed healthy by our medical staff and himself, then we have no other choice other than to make decisions," Carlyle said.
Clarkson has four goals and six assists in 43 games for Toronto after starting the season with a 10-game suspension. Those 10 points are good for 14th on the team and tied with Dave Bolland, who hasn't played since November.
Captain Dion Phaneuf will play against Philadelphia as Carlyle said Friday. Phaneuf took part in the morning skate, his first time on the ice this week with teammates outside of game action.
"I feel good," Phaneuf said. "Obviously when you're not on the ice for a couple days, you want to get back, feel the puck a bit before you go right into a game."
Phaneuf, who leads the Leafs in average ice time at 24:19 a game, has played in every game this season except the two he was suspended for boarding Kevan Miller of the Boston Bruins. That included games this week against the Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Rangers.
Taking some time off between games is a matter of preservation for Phaneuf.
"Sometimes when you have the opportunity to rest certain things, you want to take the time to do that," he said. "You weigh how much hockey's going to be played.
"For me, it was good to be able to get those couple days to recharge and to rest a couple bumps and bruises."
More than bumps and bruises have kept Bolland and tough guy Colton Orr out. Bolland hasn't played since having a tendon on the back of his ankle sliced Nov. 2 while Orr has been out the past six games.
The Leafs open a five-game road trip Monday in Anaheim, and Carlyle hopes Bolland and Orr will be available by the end of it, March 17 at Detroit.
"Orrsy skated again today, so Orrsy's getting close," he said. "And with Bolland, it's a situation as we've talked about before where we're just waiting and biding our time and hopefully rebuilding that ankle, that area.
"He'll give us the green light when he says he's ready."
