Throughout the entire year, you'll always be able to find bass relating to grass in some fashion, regardless of the fishery or depth. The primary reason: oxygen.
"Grass puts off better oxygen than any structure, and bass instinctively flock to oxygen-rich water," says EverStart pro Randall Tharp. "Whether I'm fishing Lake Champlain, the Potomac River or the Coosa River, I'm always going to give grass a fair shot during practice. It doesn't have to be shallow grass, either. I've caught some giants in 20 feet of water."
"Grass mats provide fish with their own ecosystem," adds Walmart FLW Tour pro Scott Martin. "From March through June, bass will get in grass to spawn, to feed and also to guard their fry in the postspawn. In the summer, I expect half of the fish to go toward deeper grass while the other half stays shallow."
What about when the grass is virtually (or literally) everywhere on a lake? What about when bays and creeks are choked off, flats are matted up and hitting a grass bed with a Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver is as easy as closing your eyes and making a cast?
Lakes filled with matted grass produce some of the best bass fishing in the country, but can leave even professional anglers feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. If you understand why the bass use the grass, as well as the prime locations to begin your search, in what situations each species of grass is favorable to bass habitat and how to break down these large grass mats, you'll unlock the best bass fishing of the summer.
Martin and Tharp are two of the best. They enlightened us with their strategies for mining grass for bass.
The starting point
Ask any professional angler how he establishes a solid grass pattern, and you'll get a fairly uniform response - subtleties. Grass-fishing success is widely dependent upon your ability to notice the most diminutive environmental cues and capitalize on them at a moment's notice.
Of course, there's always a starting point. Here are three to consider:
"When I'm fishing thick, matted grass, the first thing I'm looking for is bait activity," Martin says. "If there's bait in the grass, whether it's shad or bluegills, you can be sure there's some big, predatory fish hanging around."
Martin is all eyes - and ears - when he's faced with thick grass mats. Although he does keep an eye out for flickering shad or surface swirls from big bass, he also listens for the often overlooked "sucking" sounds created by feeding bluegills. A favorite meal for bass, bluegills often come to the surface to feed on smaller prey found in matted grass. When their trademark "sucking" sounds give away their location, Martin knows that big bass aren't far away.
Bluegills have also led to some hefty paychecks for Tharp, who keeps his head on a swivel when flipping mats. Over the years, he's developed a keen ability to concentrate on both the surroundings and his cast at-hand.
"There've been a couple of times that I've been concentrating on flipping a mat, and out of the corner of my eye I've seen a school of bluegills being chased by multiple 5-pounders," Tharp says. "Things like that are what you have to look for. If you zone out your surroundings, you're going to miss a lot of key pieces to the puzzle."
So bass always use grass - easy enough, right? Not really. It's not always as simple as breaking out the flipping rods and going to town. Knowing what to look for can eliminate a lot of frustration when dissecting thick grass mats in the heat of summer.
"I always focus on the greenest grass I can possibly find," Tharp says. "Dead, brown grass will deplete the surrounding water's oxygen levels and will look like a barren desert. The green grass isn't always the easiest to get your bait through, but you'll be rewarded."
Martin agrees, but warns that looks can be deceiving.
"Some matted grass can die off on the surface, but still be thriving beneath the water," Martin says. "These mats can be some serious honeyholes because a lot of folks move right past them. I'll always give them a few flips. If I notice a bunch of lush, green grass under the mat's surface, I'll slow down and really pick it apart."
Instead of focusing on the specific depth of grass mats, their location relative to the deepest structure in the lake is much more essential to maximizing success in July's brutal heat - especially when grass is abundant. When the bass finish spawning, they use creek channels as "highways" when migrating toward their deeper, summertime haunts. For this reason, finding areas where the grass mats intersect or are adjacent to deeper creek channels is key.
These mats might be shallow or deep, but again, depth is a relative term in this situation. As long as those "deeper" channels are nearby, there's a good chance you'll have your shot at a huge bass. In some cases, you might even abandon the mats in favor of submerged grass that connects the bait-filled mats with the deeper sanctuaries.
"The farther along you get into summer, the more you want to focus on these creek channels and the edges of main-lake points," Martin says. "You might find some good-looking mats in the backs of creeks, but the hot, stagnant water isn't conducive to bass habitat. In July, I want to find mats with access to nearby deeper water."
Types of grass
Travel the country bass fishing long enough and you'll come across a large variety of grasses, most with a number of colloquial identifiers. And on some lakes, a locally or regionally specific species of grass attracts the most and biggest bass.
But with his money on the line, Tharp tends to focus on one of two types of grass in the "typical" tournament fishery: hydrilla or milfoil.
Tharp has had a lot of success fishing hydrilla mats in the South and milfoil mats in Northern fisheries. These grasses grow in thick clumps, giving the bass a perfect spot to hide and travel beneath.
"Hydrilla and milfoil give bass the best of both worlds - a safe spot to shade themselves from the sun and a safe travel route," Tharp says. "Bass travel big mazes of tunnels underneath these mats, so while the mats might look impenetrable to bass from the surface, there's probably a bunch of big ones swimming around down there."
Martin also likes targeting hydrilla and milfoil, but he mostly bases his vegetation targets on the water temperature and season. In the summer, he prefers to flip milfoil mats that have open spaces under thick canopies where bass can navigate and feed. Conversely, he has found that in the colder seasons, bass prefer hydrilla and hyacinth mats and shifts his targets to those types of cover.
Inside the tackle box
Ripping huge bass out of thick grass mats requires heavy equipment. Here's how each pro approaches the task when flipping grass is the program.
Tharp's grass-flipping gear
Tharp tries to keep his approach as simple as possible: two 7-foot, 11-inch Halo Twilite Series rods with 60- to 80-pound-test Gamma Torque braided line on his front deck - a heavy-action model with a 1/2- to 1-ounce Reins tungsten weight for thin mats and an extra-heavy model with a 1 1/2-ounce Reins tungsten weight for the more gnarly mats.
"If the bass are eating the bait on the fall, I'll use a Strike King Rage Tail Craw, Zoom Z-Hog, a tube or a jig," Tharp says. "It all depends on what they're eating best that day, but if they don't eat it on the initial fall, I rely on a Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver."
Martin's grass-flipping gear
Martin doesn't like to overcomplicate things, either: a 7-foot, 11-inch heavy-action Okuma rod with 70- to 80-pound-test braid. Based on the thickness of the grass mats, he uses a 1- to 1 1/2-ounce River2Sea tungsten sinker with a 5/0 or 6/0 Lazer Trokar TK130 Flippin' hook on the business end. When choosing a lure, he opts for a Bruiser Baits Avenger or a Bruiser Baits Crazy Craw.
"I don't judge my sinker weight by what the fish want," Martin adds. "It's all about efficiency, so I just want to get it through the mat at a high-percentage rate. If I make 1,000 flips in a day and get through the mat 900 times, I'll probably outfish somebody who's only getting through 600 times."
Randall Tharp: Breaking down the bed
Tharp approaches most grass mats with the nose of his boat pointed into the wind or current in order to increase his boat control and avoid spooking wary bass. He targets the backside of small, subtle points and any irregularities he sees. Isolated clumps of grass in front of the primary mat have yielded huge bass for him throughout his career.
"I stay away from straight lines of grass," Tharp says. "I want something different that gives bass something to really relate to, so I'll fish at a fairly rapid pace until I can find these areas. When you're searching for fish, you don't want to get stuck fishing too slow. Covering water is extremely important and can make the difference between finding chunky fish and finding giant fish."
Upon finding a concentration of fish, Tharp isn't afraid to camp out and dissect the area. In July, grass-lake patterns don't always translate well to other areas of the lake, so he invests a lot of time in finding specific areas in which he can spend the majority of his time.
Scott Martin: Breaking down the bed
Martin favors subtle differences in grass mats, while alternating flips between the outside grass-line points and interior holes and clumps. As he works the mat with his bait, he tries to make every flip 6 feet apart in order to increase his efficiency and speed. Although he makes a concerted effort to thoroughly fish each area, Martin moves rapidly until he finds an area holding big bass.
Primarily, he looks for water-flow opportunities, whether it's current-generated or wind-stimulated current, but he sets up his boat differently than Tharp in the moving water.
"If my trolling motor is constantly crashing into the grass and spooking bass, a lot of times I'll approach the mat from `upstream,'" Martin adds. "It allows for a silent approach as the wind drifts the boat, and I'll just quickly drop my Power-Poles when I need to stop. It has gotten me a lot of extra bites throughout my career."
Finding the right characteristics in the grass itself is important, but he also pays close attention to what's beneath the mat.
"Bass don't always favor a muck-covered bottom, so if you can find a grass mat that has a hard bottom composition, it can end up being a real bass magnet," Martin says. "I always pay close attention to what the bottom feels like once my bait has made it through the grass. Big bass will congregate on these areas, as will shad and other prey, so always keep a close lookout for a hard bottom."
When he catches a fish, Martin makes mental notes about the area - his presentation, boat positioning and bait selection - in order to further home in on the pattern. He slows down and saturates a productive area with casts, but once a pattern is established, it allows him to bypass less productive types of areas in order to increase his efficiency.
Efficiency, when confronted with miles of thick grass, is the most dependable tool an angler has in his tackle box for locating quality fish in the vast expanse of green. And with a smart approach that takes into account bait location, grass type and bed layout, an attentive angler can quickly sniff out the sweet spots.
Veggie profile: Hydrilla
Hydrilla is a hearty, green-colored invasive aquatic plant species. Identifiable by its pointed leaves protruding from the length of the stem, it is actually native to southeast Asia, but was present in some Florida waters as early as the 1950s. It doesn't need much to flourish, either - with just minimal light penetration it can grow 1 foot per day.
Early in the year, with lower temperatures, hydrilla grows horizontally along the bottom of fisheries. As the water temperature rises throughout the spring and summer, the plants' stems rise to the surface to create dense canopies.
Even the smallest fragments of a plant have the ability to sprout roots and begin separate colonies, resulting in it being easily spread by boats, livewells, trailers and high winds.
Its thick root system is known to "choke" other, more beneficial native aquatic plants. Although it's a serious headache for biologists nationwide, hydrilla provides an expansive habitat for both game fish and their prey.
Using Talons as sea anchors
Fishing shallow grass lines and weedbeds without spooking bass can be tricky. Keystone Light pro Brent Ehrler has a good solution, providing the wind is steady and blowing consistently in the same direction.
"If I'm fishing grass and it's fairly windy, I'll try to line up with the wind and use the two Minn Kota Talons mounted on the back of my boat to slow me down," says the California angler. "How I do that is by lowering the Talons up or down to snag the grass and correspondingly drift faster or slower. This is a very stealthy way to fish shallow grass, especially, without having to use the trolling motor any more than I have to."
To stop and fish an especially productive area, Ehrler positions the boat and lowers both Talon units temporarily until they catch bottom.

I Voted And It Felt Like A Kiss
This is not the kind of scanner I voted with today, but it FELT that exciting.
Something about seizing your smallish yet potent power in the scheme of things and exercising it to try and make a difference is like an aphrodysiac, and I have to admit I was greatly aroused while doing so this morning.
It felt kind of hot and titillating.
It's generally the same feeling I'm overcome with whenever I take down a misbehaving bigshot in my blog or column--the sense that I'm grabbing the power back and using it for world betterment.
The voters' line snaked for an intimidating length, but I chose to see it as inspiring, everyone else also showing up to get turned on by using their right to make a statement.
Upcoming Events
(And the whole process only took 45 minutes. Wham, bang, thanks, let's have lunch.)
But there were a few glitches, I should add.
Since the line was so long and tight, people would occasionally bump into each other, purely by accident.
And after my bag lightly hit the bag of the woman in front of me two times, she totally lost it.
"You know, pushing into me isn't going to get you to vote any faster," she snarled, voting for some diva behavior.
"Sorry," I said, unaware that this was such a major crisis compared to what was really at stake.
"I'm just a little spastic."
She then laughed and started making lighter remarks--aware that she'd overreacted--but I pulled back about two inches, plastered on a fake smile, and ignored.
Meanwhile, once we were inside, some of the oldies seemed to have assumed they'd be doing the old lever-pulling trick.
But you had to fill out the ballot, then bring it to a scanning machine, and slide it in, as it were.
"This is ridiculous!" a man was bellowing. "It's a nightmare!"
I'm not sure why, exactly. It turned out to be pretty easy, especially with the people there to guide you through the process.
Also amusing was the guy who asked if he could crash to the front of the scanning line because he had to get back to work in 10 minutes.
At first, the helper said, "Maybe I can scan it for you," then she correctly decided he should just wait, especially since the line was moving anyway.
Oh, well. I'm still aroused, and am planning to either work it like a vixen tonight or shoot myself, depending on the results.
If you don't hear from me tomorrow, you can have my costume jewelry.

I'm with the banned "I should probably explain how, on a hot, weird night in Cleveland, I came to be riding in the backseat of Milo Yiannopoulos' swank black trollmobile to the gayest neo-fascist rally at the RNC. Milo is a charming devil and one of the worst people I know. I have seen the death of political discourse reflected in his designer sunglasses. We met four years ago, before he was the self-styled 'most fabulous supervillain on the internet', when he was just another floppy-haired right-wing pundit and we were guests on opposing sides of a panel show. Afterwards we got hammered in the green room and ran around the BBC talking about boys. It was fun. Since that day, there is absolutely nothing I have been able to say to Milo to persuade him that we are not friends. The more famous he gets off the back of extravagantly abusing women and minorities, the more I tell him I hate him and everything he stands for, the more he laughs and asks when we're drinking. I'm a radical queer feminist leftist writer burdened with actual principles. He thinks that's funny and invites me to his parties."

Russian Olympic ban upheld; Moscow denounces 'crime against sport' "Sport's highest tribunal rejected on Thursday Russia;s appeal against a doping ban for its entire athletics team from the Rio Olympics starting in 15 days' time, drawing swift and angry condemnation from Moscow. The decision by the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) increases the possibility that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will now exclude Russia from all sports, not just track and field, in Rio de Janeiro. That would mark the deepest crisis in the Olympic movement since the US and Soviet boycotts of the 1980s, and would be a grave blow to a nation that prides itself on its status as a sporting superpower. 'CAS rejects the claims/appeal of the Russian Olympic Committee and 68 Russian athletes,' CAS said in a statement that backed the right the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to suspend the Russian athletics federation. Russian officials, and many ordinary people in the country, have interpreted the doping allegations as part of a conspiracy inspired by Western governments who fear Moscow's growing influence."
Marngrook: the origins of Australian football and the denial of Indigenous history "The Indigenous game of marngrook and its claimed connection to Australian rules football has provoked unusually intense debate. Several accounts of Indigenous football reveal a striking similarity with key features of the Australian game, suggesting an unarticulated link between the two games. In the insistent denial of such a link, a critical factor has been that none of these historic accounts of Indigenous football has placed the game directly in the Western District of Victoria, in the area where Tom Wills lived … A personal recollection by Mukjarrawaint man Johnny Connolly is the clearest and most detailed eye-witness account yet found of an Indigenous game of football. Most significantly this remarkable account, found among the personal papers of the ethnographer AW Howitt, is the only account by someone who actually played the game. And he played it in the Grampians region in the Western District of Victoria, precisely where Tom Wills lived."
The unified theory of deliciousness "My first breakthrough on this idea was with salt. It's the most basic ingredient, but it can also be hellishly complex. A chef can go crazy figuring out how much salt to add to a dish. But I believe there is an objectively correct amount of salt, and it is rooted in a counterintuitive idea. Normally we think of a balanced dish as being neither too salty nor undersalted. I think that's wrong. When a dish is perfectly seasoned, it will taste simultaneously like it has too much salt and too little salt. It is fully committed to being both at the same time. Try it for yourself. Set out a few glasses of water with varying amounts of salt in them. As you taste them, think hard about whether there is too much or too little salt. If you keep experimenting, you'll eventually hit this sweet spot. You'll think that it's too bland, but as soon as you form that thought, you'll suddenly find it tastes too salty. It teeters. And once you experience that sensation, I guarantee it will be in your head any time you taste anything for the rest of your life." (Also: How food became a matter of morals)

Yahoo shows an average estimate of 23 cents (range -.04 to +.55), seems low to me, anyone else worked out predictions?
I'll weigh in and state that %.60 may be optimistic, particularly with the recent script data. While pharmacies may want to keep inventories lean at year end for reporting reasons, believe the AG, and to some extent Xarelto for post-op knees and hips took a 6-8% bite our of revenues for NVS. I'm guessing the ongoing expenses will be close to $20 million with legal costs included and would not be surprised to see earnings of $.20 - .30 a share before any special items.
My biggest concern about the AG contracts that are out there is the duration of the contracts and any possibility that will allow SNY to vacate them. However, believe such maneuvering will work to NVS/MNTA advantage in the future once the AG is again marketed.
>>Yes, you had best have some legal game when your first 2 matches are against TEVA :-)
I agree.
I don't play major league ball. :-) But I have never seen lawyering at the level it is going into the patent battle over launching a generic enoxaparin.
TEVA's lawyers will not outclass those representing NVS/Sandoz/MNTA. That does not suggest who will win, just that it will not be caused by unequal representation (something which does happen).
"So far, MNTA is showing they have a legal game in addition to a "sameness" game."
Yes, you had best have some legal game when your first 2 matches are against TEVA :-)
50-50 split is good but copaxone is less than half of the brand market size of lovenox in the US so less then half the sales potential, with new improved drugs coming out that will even lower the brand size
I agree an AG may not come out right away but if MNTA sets it sights on more then 50% market share then one will come for sure, teva will also have a few tricks planned since they have seen it all.
Mylan has been saying they are going to get approval for years and as long as they say it it will hold the stock down, because if teva has not done an AG they will if mylan comes in so it will be a huge overhang
I agree that copaxone is a big plus but the real stock driver will be a biologic, that is why people are investing copaxone is the last generic non biologic as soon as copaxone gets approved the street will say whats next and next will be pretty far off.
This is where MGT let us down!!
>>So in many ways, it would be like lovenox.
One important difference is that mC retains the profit sharing arrangement and does not shift to royalty or hybrid.
>>Copaxone approval would be big but teva will do an AG
I don't think so. Standard duopoly profit maximization theory says no. But here TEVA has an additional reason NOT to offer an AG. Neurologists are a very conservative bunch and they may be reluctant to move to a mC. TEVA offering an AG would seem a validation and even if not that, further erode pricing. So I do not expect an AG on this one.
>>the analysts will keep saying Mylan is coming so the stock will be held back
Perhaps. But I suspect Mylan will have to run the MNTA patent gauntlet. So far, MNTA is showing they have a legal game in addition to a "sameness" game.
and the analysts will keep saying Mylan is coming so the stock will be held back
why would TEVA do an AG? TEVA is rational, just like Sanofi was, and will want to keep the pricing rational.
What is important is a BD deal on MNTA's technology, MGMT can say how great it is in 16 conferences a year, but the street just says if it is so great "where are the partners", that is the number 1 thing holding the stock down
Copaxone approval would be big but teva will do an AG and the analysts will keep saying Mylan is coming so the stock will be held back
Generic drugs are nice cash flow but the real money is in biologics
I think this Q will be important because it will show once and for all that the AG isn't THAT big a deal...
don't forget there was temporary pricing "war" when the AG was announced and as someone said probably still honored in the contracts signed during that time period.
Not sure the pricing totally regained its former level.
good point, but I would have to think the market has stabilized by now and I would have to think NVS will still book at least $225m this Q which would easily put MNTA back into profit share mode.

Week in Ideas: Christopher Shea
Have Gun, See Guns
When you're holding a gun, you're more likely to think someone else is, too—a bias with potentially deadly consequences.
In a study, people holding either a realistic "gun" from the Wii system or a foam ball watched as photos of people holding guns or innocuous objects flashed on a screen. The groups made errors at similar rates, but gun-holders erred on the side of "gun present" while those holding a ball leaned toward "gun absent."
When a real firearm was prominent in the lab but not held, participants displayed no bias toward spotting guns. The behavior, it turns out, also wasn't just about weapons: When people held athletic shoes, they saw more sneakers in the photographs than truly existed.
"Action Alters Object Identification: Wielding a Gun Increases the Bias to See Guns," Jessica K. Witt and James R. Brockmole, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (forthcoming)
Running With Rover
Should you be taking your dog for long runs, not walks?
In both canines and humans, a high-intensity treadmill workout triggered the release of neurotransmitters known as endocannabinoids that ease pain, cause pleasure and create a desire for more exercise. But walking on a treadmill, despite its health benefits, didn't raise endocannabinoid levels in either species.
Besides testing 10 men and women and eight mixed-breed dogs, the researchers also put eight ferrets—which rarely run for long stretches—on treadmills, but neither walking nor running prompted the production of pleasure-causing neurotransmitters in them. The study strengthens the case, the authors said, that evolution has instilled in humans psychological incentives and benefits for intense exercise well beyond those required for basic health. That may be true for Sparky, too.

Faking Grief
In high-stress situations, do people tip off lies through facial expressions? Researchers had people trained in facial analysis examine the movement of the muscles of 52 people pleading to the public for the safe return of loved ones. Exactly half of these people later turned out to be responsible themselves for the disappearances.
Looking at video frame by frame, the analysts (blind to the experiment's aim and the speaker's guilt) homed in on the moment in which relatives made a direct appeal to the "perpetrator." Genuine pleaders flexed muscles linked to grief and shock, near the inner eyebrow and difficult to control consciously, more than the bogus pleaders did. Likewise, false pleaders showed sadness by activating a broad forehead muscle, a gesture that smacks of trying too hard. That alone allowed analysts to guess the guilt or innocence of the person with 69% accuracy.
When intense stress taxes a liar, the authors said, it becomes more likely that true emotions will unwittingly "leak" out.

Please Silence Your Skin…
For many people, cellphones are already extensions of their bodies, affixed at the hip or hand. So why not go a little further—say, under the skin?
A patent filed by Nokia and made public in March describes tattoos made of ferromagnetic powder that would buzz when someone is calling, let the user know the caller's identity (perhaps with varying sequences of pulses), and basically serve as an all-around notification center. The patent document mentions the arm, abdomen and fingernail as possible implant sites. Such tattoos might be all but invisible or highly stylized (but why hide that you're cutting-edge?). Nokia doesn't comment on patents filed by its researchers, so it's left to the rest of us to ponder how long it will be before flight attendants ask us to turn off our tattoos.

Hail and farewell, fellow readers. I am quitting the column business-cold turkey. Total abstinence is the only way. As in other addictions, the build-up of tension followed by the release of handing in 900 words on deadline produces a dangerous high.
Manic euphoria is increased if I get praise and reinforcements from loyal Commonweal readers. Criticism counts as reinforcement too, since it proves someone out there has actually read you. One of my proudest moments was to have Walker Percy send a letter taking me to task for some criticism I made of the pope.
But alas, frequent highs have the baneful effect of immunizing me from working harder on longer writing projects that I have taken on. To do what I want in the long run, I have to give up satisfying bursts of steam.
No more excuses allowed now. I must finish my book on suffering. Then on to the book on the challenge of religious experience, to be followed by a rewrite of my 1991 book on conscience. When I wrote it I did not include theological considerations of conscience because I was too ignorant and had enough problems getting the psychological and ethical dimensions integrated.
I recently read an article in Theological Studies (September 2002) by Charles E. Bouchard, O.P., on "Recovering the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in Moral Theology." In it he argues that Catholics must do a better job of integrating spirituality and morality. He is...

@machomuu: The problem is that /normal/ pokemon have incredible superpowers. You're comparing legendaries to them as if normal pokemon are some dog on the street, when in reality fire pokemon can generally burn through any known substance, electric pokemon power civilization, psychic pokemon are pretty self-explanatory. Ghost pokemon are the /masters of death itself/. (See, pokemon are immortal, and will simply reincarnate unless a ghost pokemon kills them due to their soul eating tendencies.) Etcetera
Legendary pokemon tend to have maybe one to two extra quirks that don't necessarily imply extra strength at all but rather an expanded horizon of powers to wield when you consider that pokemon already had insane superpowers to begin with.
With the exception of certain legendaries such as Arceus in Mewtwo, but their levels are at 80. Compare that to a champion at the top of their game at maybe 74-77 per pokemon and you determine that yes, they're far too strong to be taking on one versus one, but not so much that they can pull an action movie and take out an entire team of competent pokemon working together against them. |D
Being legendary seems to have more to do with uniqueness and unique quirks, considering there are plenty of normal pokemon, such as Tyranitar, that are honestly much stronger than most legendaries.

Editor's Note: Edy is taking a week off. This column was first published June 14, 2012.
It's the season to be relaxed and lazy, but still the time to work, play and have fun. Stay out of the kitchen as much as possible.
Wait just a minute!
Your family, friends and yourself need food n the belly. There's ways to do it. Make your selections light and easier. One choice is seafood which is tasty and hardly any trouble to fix — redfish or snapper fillets baked in a paper bag (parchment).
Kids are returning to school. Summer is waving so long. The fall season is here — ready or not.
I don't know about you folks but something has speeded up the clock. What do you suppose has happened?
Like it or not, the track shoes must be kept in running condition. I must say, never a dull moment with politics, what's for dinner and was the Florida Power and Light bill mailed?
How about it? Are you OK?
I am!
How about a snack and a glass of wine, and the world is not such a bad place. Include a hour of tai chi twice a week, and you are back on top.
Summer is here with all of its hot rays making most of us slow down whether we want to or not. However, eating is still a necessary part of our daily lives. The kitchen is still there and food preparation is at a minimum, thus making food taste even more critical.
Summetime has arrived with all its splendor — comfortable clothing, swimming cool-offs, backyard cookouts and balmy evening strolls. Activity pace slows, giving everyone a chance to smell the roses. School is closed for a bit, and our kids love it. Kitchens are not providing heavy comfort foods, but beckon a change to fruits, vegetables and seafood for eating satisfaction.
This pleases our chefs.
For now the rain has stopped and the sun is out in full force. The shivering cold has gone. The grocery shelves are overflowing with fresh strawberries. There is no better dessert than strawberry shortcake.
Originally, the form of shortcake derived from a French creation. It is a light pastry midway between puff pastry and plain ordinary pie crust which were cut into squares or pie-shaped wedges by French housewives and served with a rich layer of preserves or jam. The only ingredient the Louisiana housewives added to this popular dessert was whipped cream.
Fresh vegetables served as a separate course at dinner often can make their perfection more apparent. Making them tasty is a requirement, especially today since nutritionists are calling for the need of increasing the consumption to help maintain good health.
Special holidays of each month give us an opportunity to spring a tasty treat on our family and friends. This year, March 31, Easter Sunday, is a day for all to celebrate special sweet treats, fashion wear or whatever your personal belief may be.
Who doesn't like to indulge in a sweet mouthful of a delicious dessert?
Today is Valentine's Day, a day for lovers. Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages, although, written Valentines didn't begin to appear until after 1400.
The oldest known Valentine is still in existence. It was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife, while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. The greeting is now part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London.
A new year and a new start to enjoy New Orleans Creole Cuisine.
The holiday season will be upon us before you can utter "Happy Days!"
It's the time of the year to step out of the daily routine and open up our hearts and minds to all those around us. Of course it is supposed to be a happening throughout the year, but our lives get caught up in private circles. There is no better way to enjoy the season than sharing whether it be a story, snack or an elaborate meal.
It is the time to moderately indulge in tempting sugar stuff without calorie guilt. Cookies and candy are displayed hither and you — take your pick.
The holiday season is soon coming to our doorstep, the first of which is Thanksgiving. We can all universally celebrate this holiday with family and/or friends. Most importantly, let our hearts reach out and share friendship with those within our homes, workplace or learning centers.
Talk, talk and more talk with tasty food and laughter are the main items on the menu, along with sharing whatever one can. The tragedy of Hurricane Sandy is a reminder of how all those involved along with many others are sharing their concern from their hearts.

Brink developer admits launch was rough
Brink had a bit of a rough time when it launched back in May. Most people who bought the game knew that very well. Now the game's lead designer is ready to admit that as well.
"A lot of the game's complaints were entirely valid," said Neil Alphonso of Splash Damage. "It was rough, but in the end the game's done alright," Alphonso told Joystiq. "Key is to keep supporting the game and keep tuning it more and more."
Alphonso went on to say that their continued support of the title has caused sales numbers to improve post-launch. He said that all of the patching they've done, along with the free DLC they released boosted sales "way, way up."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Target says revenue in stores open at least one year fell an unexpectly sharp 5.9 percent in April as shoppers had already spent more on Easter-related merchandise a month earlier.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected a smaller 2.3 percent drop in April.
But discount retailer says higher-margin categories are performing well and expects first-quarter net income will at least meet analyst expectations of 86 cents per share.
It says revenue in stores open at least a year in the combined March and April period rose 3 percent.
Target says its total sales in April fell nearly 4 percent to $4.29 billion.
Revenue in stores open at least one year is a key measure of a retailer's financial health.

About fifteen minutes into Silver Linings Playbook [1], its hero, Pat Solitano—played by Bradley Cooper—is out jogging near his Philadelphia neighborhood when a young woman he met at a dinner party the night before runs across his path and greets him. In any other romantic comedy this would be the follow-up scene that firmed up the "meet cute" encounter of the previous night. This second meeting would be staged with playful mock-casualness, and the dialog would include lots of sexy banter and teasing as the lovers-to-be sized each other up.
Instead, writer-director David O. Russell delivers a few seconds that wouldn't be out of place in a psycho-stalker horror movie. Tiffany, played by Jennifer Lawrence, bursts into view emitting a high-pitched "Hey!" that unnerves Pat and made the viewers near me in the theater jump in their seats. And this turns out to be oddly appropriate since at their earlier encounter Pat and Tiffany recognized each other at once as being a tad crazy. Having taken offense at a remark her sister (the hostess) made, Tiffany had jumped to her feet and announced she was leaving, then glared at Pat: "Are you walking me home or what?" "You lack social skills," he murmured. "I lack social skills? You say more inappropriate things than anyone I've ever met." And the walk home concluded with her propositioning him...

I am really looking forward to warmer weather so I can grill these. I did them in the oven, and they were great, and I think will be even better over the fire! I also think this delicious marinade would be good on a pork tenderloin.
Delicious! I marinated for 8 hours, and grilled on a charcoal grill. I did use boneless, skinless thighs, so I reduced the cooking time. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Such juicy, tender chicken!! The sugar in the marinade caused flare-ups, but if you watch closely you can control this. I loved this marinade, and will use it again. Made for a welcome home for my son coming home for Christmas from college....he loved this!
This made a wonderful summer meal. I marinated the chicken thighs overnight and there was so much flavor in the chicken. The glaze was nice although did char easily. I think this would make tasty chicken wings too. Served with lime & cilantro rice and sesame slaw. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

This whole disaster began when my father decided to buy a CPC664. All of my friends had a C64, so I had to learn how to code my own games.
Today I'm more into torturing Xcode & iOS.
That's how I ended up here. Seems like all hope is finally lost...

William Peace University Announces Raleigh Mayor Nancy L. McFarlane as 2014 Commencement Speaker Along With Honorary Degree RecipientsBy William Peace University on February 11, 2014 2:01 pm
William Peace University Announces Raleigh Mayor Nancy L. McFarlane
as 2014 Commencement Speaker Along With Honorary Degree Recipients
Local Four-Year Baccalaureate to Award Raleigh Mayor,
Alumna, and Late Raleigh Physician with Honorary Doctorates
RALEIGH, N.C., Feb 11, 2014 – William Peace University, a private four-year university located in downtown Raleigh, has announced that Raleigh City Mayor Nancy L. McFarlane will serve as its 2014 Commencement Speaker. The University will also award Honorary Doctorate Degrees in Humanities to McFarlane, Alumna Fay Jackson Anderson, Ph.D., and posthumously to Dr. Annie L. Wilkerson, M.D., Ph.D., the first female doctor of obstetrics and gynecology in Raleigh. This year's Commencement Ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. on the University Green, located at 15 E. Peace St.
McFarlane is currently in her second term as Mayor of the capital city, having first been elected in 2011. Before her run for office, McFarlane won a Raleigh City Council Seat in 2007, and later ran without opposition in 2009. She also served on the Budget and Economic Development Committee and was chair of the Comprehensive Planning Committee for the City of Raleigh. Prior to politics, McFarlane launched MedPro Rx, Inc., an accredited specialty pharmacy that provides infusion medications and services to clients with chronic illnesses, which earned several recognitions, including Inc. Magazine's fastest-growing companies from 2009 to 2011. She has also worked as a drug store pharmacist, and spent 15 years as a pharmacist at Raleigh Community Hospital while raising her family.
A graduate of the Class of 1954, Anderson is a member of the William Peace University's Foundation Board of Directors and served on the Board of Trustees from 2006 to 2012. She is a longtime benefactor to WPU, holding membership in the prestigious William Peace, Heritage and the President's Circle Societies and most recently creating the W. Edward Anderson and Fay Jackson Anderson Athletic Endowment Fund, which provides support and enhancement for the athletics program and its facilities. As a student, Anderson served as Senior Class Secretary and Vice President for the Athletics Council. She was also a member of the women's basketball team, and in 2011 was inducted into the University's Athletic Hall of Fame. Anderson was also recognized in 2005 with the Distinguished Service Award.
Dr. Wilkerson became involved with Peace during World War II when she taught health at what was then Peace Institute. A long-time benefactor and William Peace Society member, Wilkerson served on the University's Board of Visitors from 1975 to 1981, and was also a member of The Heritage Society, having made a provision in her estate plans to establish The Annie Royal Farthing Wilkerson Scholarship in honor of her mother in 2008. The Apex native has been recognized with countless awards and honors, including the Distinguished Service Award from the UNC School of Medicine, Rex Hospital's first Distinguished Physician of Merit, the prestigious North Carolina Award (the highest civilian honor the state can bestow), and in 2005 was inducted into the Raleigh Hall of Fame. After a long, successful life, Wilkerson passed away on September 14, 2005, at the age of 91.
"William Peace University is honored to have Mayor McFarlane as its Commencement speaker," said Debra M. Townsley, Ph.D., president of William Peace University. "She is an influential policymaker and leader for our city, and I know that she will deliver a message that will impact our graduating students, providing them with something they can reflect on and remember for years to come."
"It's difficult to put into words how much Fay and the late Dr. Wilkerson mean to William Peace University and its history," Townsley said. "Never will you find such influential women in the City of Raleigh as Nancy, Fay, and Annie. We are proud to award honorary doctorates to all of these outstanding women."

Clerk asks about election riggingJanuary 24,2014BENNINGTON — The rural fire department clerk in Bennington is asking the state to look into the possibility of election rigging as voters prepare to pick fire chiefs and other officials.
Bennington Rural Fire Department Clerk Lexie Vincelette said she's been told some people who don't live in the district are going to the town clerk's office and changing their address.
The Bennington Banner reported that the Jan. 27 annual meeting is public, but only those residing in the Bennington Rural Fire Department district can vote.
Bennington Town Clerk Tim Corcoran said when the town learns a person has changed their address, it sends a "challenge letter" asking them to verify their address. State law requires the town do this when a registered voter doesn't vote for two consecutive general elections.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Korn Guitarist Munky Optimistic for Permanent Reunion With Brian 'Head' Welch

'Head' is set to join Korn for their dates at next year's German rock festivals Rock am Ring and Rock im Park. The gigs will be his first full sets with the band since 2004.

Hi anyone,
I'm still unable to sort alphabetically, and it's killing this wonderful plugin for me.
Code I'm using:
[display-posts category="ourfaculty" tag="biomaterials" orderby="title" order="ASC" wrapper="ul" posts_per_page="200"]
However, it lists the post titles with the most recent at the top. Removing and changing the orderby and order arguments have no effect. I've switched my theme back to TwentyEleven and found no difference.
The output is at the bottom of this page:
Anyone with ideas? I'm on a deadline and other than this issue the plugin does exactly what I need. Thanks!

JBS Quarterly Earnings Beat Estimates on Grass-Fed Beef
JBS SA, the world's largest beef producer, posted third-quarter earnings excluding items that beat analysts' estimates amid its reliance on South America's low cost, grass-fed cattle.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, rose to 1.38 billion reais ($669.5 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30, the highest since 2008, the Sao Paulo-based company said in a statement yesterday. The result is above a forecast gain of 1.31 billion reais, the average of nine estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
JBS is benefiting from lower cattle prices in the Mercosur region, Thiago Duarte, a Sao Paulo-based analyst with Banco BTG Pactual SA, said in an Oct. 29 note to clients. The company also had higher beef sales and margins, said Duarte, who has a buy recommendation on the stock.
The company is shielded from rising grain prices because herds of cattle in Brazil and Argentina are primarily grass-fed, while ranchers in the U.S. and Canada rely on corn and soybeans for feedstock. Prices for corn climbed 12 percent and soybean prices rose 5.8 percent in the quarter amid the worst U.S. drought in more than half a century.
Net income was 367 million reais, below analysts' estimates of an adjusted gain of 386 million reais. JBS reported a loss of 67.5 million reais a year earlier.
Higher Margin
JBS's net sales were 19.4 billion reais, up 24 percent from a year ago. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were 7.1 percent of sales in the quarter. That compares with 5.1 percent a year earlier.
The company said its third-quarter free cash flow, or what is left after covering operating expenses and capital spending, was 156.9 million reais. Positive free cash flow helped the company to cut debt, according to the statement. Debt fell to 3.7 times Ebitda, from 4 times a year earlier.
JBS also said it is starting to operate six beef plants that will expand slaughter capacity by 15 percent next year, according to the statement.

Very good looking and comfortable chair at a fantastic price!
The Antique Cherry Chair arrived early, was easy to assembly and appears to be very strong. I have only had it a couple of weeks, but do not expect any problems from the construction. The price was good and it matches the Cherry in my cabinets, and it does not look like a cheap chair.

Hi all.
I needed to draw a picture- a rather intricate one- using java. This I managed. But the drawback was, when it created the .PNG file, it also displayed it. This wouldn't be a problem, except when I exit the displayed version of the image, it deletes the file.
This is the first method
which calls the following method. (this is just a selection)Code:public void runPaint(Pmc workS) { //ImageOut t = new ImageOut(); //t.paint(null); BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(930,1200, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB); Graphics g = bi.createGraphics(); paint(g, workS); g.dispose(); try{ImageIO.write(bi,"png",new File("test.png"));}catch (Exception e) {} }
What I need is a way to avoid creating the Graphics g- to be able to create my image directly as a BufferedImage, which just gets saved as a .PNG without ever being displayed.Code:public void paint(Graphics g, Protomech workS) { .... g.setColor(Color.black); g.fillRect(0,0,930,1200); .... }
Any idea how I do that?
