Just curious; when do you usually see winter steelhead show up, in any decent numbers, in your favorite river?
decent numbers of hatchery fish should show up by the middle to end of december on most rivers, with wild fish showing in good numbers by february on the coast, and march in the sound (wild fish used to have a run timing centered around christmas, but overfishing has slowly shifted it later). -Tom
Christmas and overfishing......You mean Jack Daniels has competition for stress release of Christmas spirit with the favorite family members who visit.
I have been planning my trip to the O.P. for natives this winter. All the people that I have been talking to and a few of the guides have told me that February is when the meat of the run starts in and all the way through march then it starts to tail off. John
Tom- I don't know if there is much science to support -"wild fish used to have a run timing centered around christmas, but overfishing has slowly shifted it later". Clearly the run timing of the wild fish runs vary from river to river and region to region. While there is some good evidence that there were significant numbers of wild winter steelhead on the coast in December to say that the run centered around Xmas is a stretch. Just as clearly there were brigth fish entering those rivers well into the spring. In Puget Sound due to the long history of hatchery planting going back a century or so it is hard to get a true read on the wild fish timing. However because of the poor understanding of what was needed to produce a successful steelhead smolt it was not until the early 1950s that there were many returning hatchery fish in those systems. Based on what I have seen in our rivers in terms of wild fish and the conversations I have had with old timers that fish prior to World War II it is my opinion (inofrmed?) that the wild winter steelhead run timing on most Puget Sound streams were/are later than those on the coast. While a few wild winter steelhead are still found as early as this time of the year (the earliest that I have got such fish is 11/4) the vast majority entered the river well after the first of the year. The old timers that taught me to steelhead fish fished the Snohomish system during the great depression. They were definitely fishing for food and to a person they all said that they would not waste their precious gas money by fishing prior to early January - they was not enough fish to justify them spending their money or time chasing them. Typically the run timing of wild winter steelhead is a reflection of the spawning timing of that population. It has been my observation that typically (there is always exceptions) the fish want to show up on the spawning ground 6 weeks or more prior to spawning. The spawn timing is in turn a reflection of the hydrograph of the system. The spawning is timed so that the survival odds are stacked in favor of the emerging fry. One needs to look at the differences in hydrographs between the coast (rain fed systems) and north Puget Sound (snow run-off dominated) to understand there should be differences in spawning timing. Tight lines Curt
Curt- I will completely concede that it was a loaded statement...in fact, almost a provocation- But, it got what I wanted, which was a thoughtful and informative response from you! Much of what I said was based on a conversation I had with a biologist who was a presenter at the NOAA biological review team meetings about the potential listing of Puget Sound Wild Winter Steelhead. This biologist obtained tribal catch data on non-stocked rivers from back in the 30's and before that showed peak catches around the end of december, and this was consistent for many systems. This is a complex subject, and I think you are right about flow regimes being deterministic for spawn timing for many of these fish (optimize emergence conditions for peak survival). However, many of the early spawning fish, probably were upper-basin and tributary spawners, which emerge in streams with very different flow regimes than the mainstem skagit or sauk for example (they often have earlier peak runoff). To say that sportfishing alone was responsible for this change, is not accurate....habitat degradation of tributaries like those I have described is also a culprit, but habitat destruction alone does not account for decreased abundance of early timed fish in systems with intact upper reaches and small spawning tributaries. Certainly the harvest intensity aimed at hatchery fish earlier in the season over the last several decades is possibly responsible for at least part of this shift in run timing. -Tom
TomB ..you are killing me ..what about the validation of Jack Daniels...? Never mind you know the Sh*t better than me. By the way ....are you one of those guys whi catch 95% of the fish or are you a regular fly-fella? (JK) Thanks for the info you provide.
Porter, I think you might find that for some older members of the fishing community, fishing and JD are not as mutually exclusive as they perhaps should be -T
Tom - I think I have seen that tribal catch data you are referring to. As I recall it was from the coast. Also remember that it was catch data which probably is a better reflection of the fishing seasons than run timing. Historically tribal season lengths were driven as much by price as any other fact. Because steelhead had the highest value in the fresh fish market they tended to fish until there was another source of fresh salmon for the restaurant trade. In recent decades the first source of fresh salmon was the ocean troll fisheried that often opened in April. In the 1930s I would have expected that the commerical caught spring Chinook from the Columbia may well have been a factor which would have entered the market even earlier. I'm not sure that "many of the early spawning fish, probably were upper-basin and tributary spawners..." hold true in the Norht Puget Sound region. The best example fo the upper basin/trib spawners would be the native summer steelhead. The information that I have seen (Deer Creek brood stock collection in the late 1940s and more recent spawning surveys) have shown that the summer steelhead spawning is from mid-March to mid-May - that is pretty much normal timed. The wild winter steelhead found in the upper South Fork Sauk also provide some insight in this question. They are the highest/furtherest wild winter steelhead that I know of in Puget Sound. They migrate as much as 115 miles from the river's mouth and I have seen redds at just below 3,000 feet in elevation. Even at this remote area I was seeing as many as 7 redds/mile in the early 1990s. Interesting there were no steelhead in the area until well into the spring with the vast majority of the redds dug in the month of May. The early wild winter steelhead (Novewmber to early January) that I have checked for sexaul maturity (from the Nooksack, Skagit and Snohomish systems) all were relatively immature fish (eggs skeins and eggs still less than fully developed). I would have judged that spawning was 3 or months away. I think that they myth of early wild fish being early spawners comes from the time (pre-1984) when the hatchery fish were not marked. Anglers often confused the early 3-salt hatchery fish with wild fish (based on size) - those fish of course would have been early maturing/spawning fish. Tight lines Curt
Hey tippet, To answer your question, We have allready seen a few hatchery brats here on the op. I generally start fishing for them about the second week of Nov and find the best of the run is over by x-mas. The wild fish still return well in Jan if you know where to look but the peak of the big fish run is indeed feb-march. Here is one thing however that tends to get ignored, people come here because they want BIG steelhead, which are always a posibility in the feb-march prime time. However there are probably more fish(although smaller) in the begining of April. April also often has lower warmer water which can make for better fly roding. If you plan to fish the op make sure you make your trips at least 3 days, there is no way to cover enough ground to get a good feel in just 2. Good luck, Jim
Tom, In response to your asertation that Jack Daniels may not be an appropriate beverage to consume while fishing, wading, or rowing, I am afraid I must politly disagree. Furthermore I feel the need to mention that to sully the name of such a fine beverage with a long proud history of manufacture in the grand ol US of A without offering cause or justifacation is not only irisponsible, but may be of interest to homeland security. Jim
Mike, Looks that way. By Saturday I expect that Salmon Creek will take on the appearance of the Klickitat. John
Tom, As Smalma alluded to, good data are often hard to come by. I think Smalma hit the mark with the statement that a lot of early run wild steelhead - so classified - where actually hatchery fish before widespread marking occurred. I long ago reviewed historic steelhead catch data for both sport and tribal fisheries. Prior to widespread stocking of hatchery steelhead, peak sport catches on the coast and in Puget Soudn were in March. Tribal catched were often earlier in some rivers, and coincided on others. An important reason for that is because the former WDG did not allow off-reservation treaty Indian steelhead gillnetting from 1935 to 1973. Consequently, peak tribal catches on reservation coincided with peak run abundance. Peak tribal catches of steelhead off reservation tended to be by-catch that coincided with silver and chum salmon fishing. The more context we have along with data, the better we can interpret the meaning of that data. Still, based on my observations of wild steelhead on the Skagit system, I'm convinced that the larger the run is allowed to become, and the less harvest pressure the wild fish experience, more of the run will enter the river earlier in the season, like January, pretty much reflecting what little we know of historic conditions and run timing. Sincerely, Salmo g.
This is the earliest documentation I could find that decribes the run timing of wild Steelhead, emphasis added by me. "82. During treaty times the Nisqually Indians recognized separately and harvested the following species or races of anadromous fish: a) Tl'hwai (chum or dog salmon); b) Skowitz (coho salmon); c) Huddo (humpback salmon); d) Satsup (chinook salmon), To-walt (king or tyee salmon) were recognized as Satsup, the basis of distinction being size; e) Skwowl (steelhead). Their fishing techniques included trolling in saltwater, and nets, traps, weirs, gaffs, spears and hook and line in freshwater. Such fish were the Nisqually Indians' most important item of food. They were eaten fresh, were smoked and preserved, and were used for nonfood purposes such as glue base by the Nisqually Indians. The Nisqually Indians also identified several constellations of stars by reference to fish and fisheries. [FPTO § 3-58; Ex. USA-25, pp. 10-21a] The unpublished works of George Gibbs [**136] contain at least three notations of a fish trap or fish dam on the Nisqually River involving at least two separate locations. [FPTO § 3-61; Ex. USA-25, p. 22] 83. Dr. George Suckley, who reported information respecting salmon which he recorded from the Indians while he resided at Puget Sound between 1853 and 1856, reported that: "* * * the salmon known to the Nisquallies as the skwowl, which I consider identical with the Klutchin of the Clallums, * * * arrives in the bays and estuaries of Puget Sound about the middle of autumn, and towards the first of December commences to run up the larger rivers emptying into the sound. Their ascent of these streams continue through December and January. This arrival of the species in fresh water is not as simultaneous, neither do they arrive in such great numbers at any one time or in 'schools,' as is the case with the skourtz and several other species, but the 'run' being somewhat more 'drawn out' affords a steady moderate supply to the Indians during its continuance." He further recorded that, after the skwowl entered the rivers, they were taken by the Indians in nets, traps, baskets, and also by spearing. [FPTO [**137] §§ 3-55; 3-56; Ex. PL-50, p. 329; Ex. USA-25, pp. 15-16] "

Sales posters are usually pretty easy to ignore. Leaking to the internet via weak cellphone pics or shoddy scans, they are usually never representative of the final film and look like something slapped together by a graphic designer with two broken hands and a concussion. However, there are exceptions, and "Machete Kills" is one of them.
Hot on the hells of news earlier this week that the (long-awaited?) sequel to Robert Rodriguez's exploitation pic was happening, the film is now on the floor at European Film Market where buyers are circling. And they'll have a helluva one sheet to entice them further. This one arrives in a crisp hi-def copy with a close-up on Danny Trejo's ravaged face and, of course, lots of blood.
Anyway, the movie is gearing up for an April shoot with Trejo and whoever survived from "Machete" expected to return. The story will find our hero hired by the U.S. government to head into Mexico to take down a cartel leader and madman billionaire, who plan to launch a weapon into space. We presume this will set the stage for "Machete In Space."
It seems they're aren't messing with the formula here at all, which is probably a good thing. But whether or not we really need this movie is probably a discussion best left for another day. At any rate, drink in the poster below. [ComingSoon]

Laurence Rees
The Gibraltar Lecture: The Holocaust
Friday 31 March 2017
1 Hour
DurationOxford Martin School: Lecture Theatre
Ticket priceBestselling historian Laurence Rees talks about his landmark publication on the Holocaust and explains how and why it happened.
Rees spent 25 years meeting survivors and perpetrators of the Holocaust, and his account features their previously unpublished eyewitness testimonies. His book is the first authoritative and accessible account of the Holocaust published in three decades and is supported by the Holocaust Educational Trust and the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. Rees argues that, while hatred of Jews was at the centre of Nazi thinking, the appalling crimes of the Holocaust cannot be fully understood without considering the murder of Jews alongside Nazi plans to kill millions of non-Jews as well.
Rees is a former head of BBC TV history and creative director of BBC television history. He wrote, directed and produced several award-winning series on the Nazis and the Second World War. His book, Auschwitz, won History Book of the Year at the British Book Awards and is the world's bestselling book on the history of the camp.
There has been a Jewish presence on the Rock of Gibraltar for more than 650 years. In 1729 the British reached agreement with the Sultan of Morocco that his Jewish subjects were legally permitted to reside in Gibraltar. At the time of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 half of the population of the town was Jewish.
The community now numbers over 600, and has contributed many leaders to Gibraltar public life, including the first chief minister, Sir Joshua Hassan. Four historic synagogues survive within the city walls.
At the invitation of HM Government of Gibraltar, the first Gibraltar Lecture was given by Ben Okri in 2014, by Professor Frank Close in 2015 and Boyd Tonkin in 2016.
The Hon. Gilbert Licudi QC MP, Minister for Tourism, Employment, Commercial Aviation and the Port, HM Government of
Gibraltar, will introduce the lecture.
Sponsored by Gibunco Group.
In association with the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies.

Where to get an iPhone 6 on launch day?
Michael Robert
iStore has announced that they will open their stores at 6am on the 24 October for the launch of the iPhone 6 in South Africa.
In previous years iStore's have opened at 7am with long queues and very little to no stock. Last year some stores open their doors to over 100 people with not a single iPhone in the store and only 8 expected to arrive during the day. This year could be different but we are not getting our hopes up.
Vodacom launch the iPhone at midnight at Vodacom World every year and this year is no different. Vodacom World traditionally has the most stock and according to Vodacom on Twitter they only received their stock this morning.
MTN are holding a launch event at iStore in Sandton. The details of this event are unknown.
CellC have remained completely silent about the iPhone 6. This is not unusual as they did this last year and their reason is that they want to offer the best prices so they wait until all the other networks have released their pricing. We disagree with their thinking on this however we can confirm that they will be selling the iPhone 6 on the 24 October.
If you are interested in the price of an iPhone 6 in South Africa check our price guide. So far we can confirm Vodacom's price and we have some idea that the CellC pricing is accurate.
If you are looking to get your hands on the iPhone 6 on the 24 October here is where you can get it from:
iStore - Opens at 6:00am
Vodacom - Opens at 12:00am
Vodacom Stores - Open at 9:00am
MTN Stores - Open at 9am
CellC Stores - Open at 9am

Michael Shannon Also Considered for "Superman" Villain Role
Posted: March 25th, 2011 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
After Viggo Mortensen was rumored to play General Zod in the upcoming "Superman" reboot, director Zack Snyder revealed that the actor will not appear in the movie.
Now that Mortensen is out, LatinoReview then learned that Edgar Ramirez (The Bourne Ultimatum) is being considered for the villain role. The site, however, did not specify which villain he may end up playing.
Now comes word from Deadline that Warner Bros and Snyder have expressed interest in Michael Shannon (Bug) to play the villain. Once again, it is not specified which role he's being considered for.

A Startling Fact about personal finance Uncovered
It is vital that people start saving for a rainy day as early in order that as quickly as attainable. Personal finance administration is crucial in the current day. In as we speak's capitalist society many individuals don't suppose twice about taking loans to buy unnecessary and expensive things. The recession however has woken up many individuals and scared them into studying to manage their finances. Due to the daunting nature of the task or because of insufficient data many individuals do not know methods to effectively manage their finances.
First of all, I know from prior conversations that he nonetheless has some vital scholar loans from college. These loans are probably at 6-7% interest and doubtless round 10k. That curiosity is costing him $seven-hundred every year! This might be erased by the money in his financial savings. He may not want to pay all of it off at once, but he should pay off an enormous chunk to reduce the curiosity value each year.
A private email deal with makes your emails just that little bit extra personal. We all know that emails simply do not get across the tone behind what we imply. We typically write them in a hurry and use abbreviations, all of which may make them sound a bit flat and even harsh, which isn't what we supposed in any respect. I'm certain you've had experiences the place your beloved has been upset with an email you have despatched as a result of what you tried to say just did not come across proper on the screen. A personal e-mail address will not remedy these issues however no less than the handle can be created to send the appropriate message every time.
There is no approach wherein a loan might be offered to a business which doesn't have security to cover the mortgage. Remember that the bank will need something to maintain hold of within the occasion of any failure to repay the mortgage. Security for the mortgage might take numerous forms, however the banks are extra concerned about safety which consists of fastened assets.

Dr Deepak Pental, professor of genetics and ex vice chancellor, Delhi University
Related Articles
In a recent interaction with the BioSpectrum, Dr Deepak Pental, professor, department of genetics, University of Delhi, opined that Indian politics has overtaken the longterm interests of Indian scientific as well as farming community. He explained, "It will be downright foolish to ignore how things have progressed even in Bangaldesh vis a vis Bt brinjal. We keep on typing knots and untying them will take a lot of time. So far we have not released anything in proper fashion. Even those who demand ban on all GM crops for the future, are not talking about BT cotton. It will be unfortunate that if Bt brinjal comes in under clandestine circumstances and finally illegal cultivation without proper segregation happens, making the government to accept the facts later."
In a rather very straightforward way, Dr Pental asked few hard hitting questions to those who oppose GM. "Why is Genetic Engineering Apprisal Commitee (GEAC) not being allowed to function? Afterall nobody is suggesting that government is not the final authority. But in this case, when there are three ministries and beaurucrats on one side and one ministry on the other side, this is enough to point towards the passage of BRAI bill,"he mentioned and went on asking, "Who would like to work in this area when we first fund it and then don't care enough later? How long will we ignore scientists and science for politics? We don't work as team and that has resulted in so much choas."
Dr Pental recalls that during the times of green revolution even Dr Swaminathan was accused of biopiracy by certain sections of society but the unrelenting attitude of policymakers made it happen. "Even some ideologies were bitterly opposed as they didn't want the alleivation of hunger, fearing the loss of poverty will bring their end. Same spirit continues within section of them even today without having anything to do with technical understanding of subject or looking at the bigger picture", he concluded.

Residues embedded in the hydrophobic interior of the membrane are F35, Y94 and V95. This is consistent with the important role of F35, Y94 and V95 in interactions with lipid bilayers (Stahelin et al. 2003). This orientation was calculated including atoms of the bound ligand (inositol lipid). Orientation of apo-protein is slightly different (V97 of apo-protein also penetrates the membrane core). Maximal membrane binding affinity is -12.6 kcal/mol (Stahelin et al. 2003), which is higher than calculated transfer energy of the apo-protein (-4.5 kcal/mol) due to strong specific binding of phosphoinositide. |

Even though I have a driving license I prefer walking and I drive only occasionally, when I have to. Later when I got more interested in my own health I found out just how much walking actually helps prevent many diseases. Regular walking routine lowers the blood pressure, prevents cardiovascular disease and also helps maintain weight. It would be so cool to be able to stay in shape magically with no effort at all. If magic can't help us in that department it surely can entertain us just like the "Simsalabim" slot I played at Vera & John Casino.
I decided to, and luckily I could play with a decent amount of money; I thought that €200 should be enough even if some things go wrong. My bet was €2 and nothing good was happening until I got down to €160 when I finally experienced a very nice win – it was really cool, with five magic hats. That win brought me €81 and my balance jumped to just over €240. I was back down to €185 when I triggered 10 Free Spins; it really took me some time to get them. I retriggered another 10 and my total winnings were €103 - it could have been much better because there were many empty spins.
Having €287 on my account I gave a chance to one of my favorite slots "Dead or Alive" but it was terrible; yes, I triggered 12 Free Spins but I got only €9.6, in the base game I had all dead spins. After a few minutes I had €200 playing with a €1.8 bet which was an alarm for me to stop. I switched to the "South Park" slot and hopped for a feature. And I got Stan Bonus Spins and some nice wins in it earning €102. I also triggered Kenny Bonus Game after which I raised my balance for €63 and got up to €281.
After a few more spins my friend called and we went out for a walk; I certainly didn't want to miss that especially after this good slot session.

VANCOUVER — Police found a missing 4-year-old girl safe Wednesday afternoon in southwest Washington.
News coverage led to a tip that pointed police in the right direction, officials told KPTV. Police took Kimberly Gibson, the girl's mother into custody for an outstanding warrant.
Gibson is accused of running over her boyfriend and her daughter's father with a van Saturday in Longview.
According to the Clark County Sheriff's Office, the girl was in the car with her mother when this happened. Gibson drove off following the alleged assault.
Gibson's car was later found unoccupied at a parking lot in Longview, Wash, and the little girl was nowhere to be seen — until Wednesday.

China now; India next. This will be the year when the eyes of the world will be on China the Games, of course, but also the country's pivotal point in the world economy, with Chinese demand surging on through the global downturn but also driving commodity prices to ever-greater heights. But it will be a year, too, when we will hear much more of that other awakening giant, India.
It will, after all, be the year when the Indian company, Tata, is set to get control of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford. Talks on the details are taking place right now. It took over Corus, itself formed out of British Steel, last year. Can the Indians make a go of these British icons where the previous owners failed? If they can, it will be not so much a case of the empire striking back, but rather the empire rescuing its former rulers. It occurred to me after a visit to India over the Christmas holiday, that from a British perspective, as opposed to an American one, what happens in India over the next decade will be even more important than what happens to China. We are certainly more prepared to have Indian companies invest in the UK, for we feel at home with India in a way that we don't with China.
Within the next decade, it looks very much as though India will become a bigger economy than the UK, the first Commonwealth country to do so. That would signify an interesting change of power indeed. Last year it grew at about 9 per cent, almost three times the rate of the UK, and I have just been looking at some projections by Lehman Brothers that suggest that with the right reforms it could grow at 10 per cent a year for the next decade. But, of course, no economic analysis can compete with the feel of the place on the ground, and in particular the drive of its biggest city and commercial capital, Mumbai.
Amidst the many astounding things about India right now is its economic self-confidence. Here and elsewhere in the developed world, there is the insecurity of the indebted, the fears of a slowdown, maybe even a recession. In India, as in China, there is nothing of that. Of course, millions of people live deeply insecure lives, for the burgeoning wealth being created is only slowly trickling down. There is, too, a great contrast between the cities and the countryside, and between the north of India and the south. But among the professionals and executives of Mumbai there is a huge sense of momentum, a sense that for all India's many problems, the future will be bright. We went to the wedding of the son of some dear friends. This was not the stuff of Bollywood glitterati, just hard-working professionals but they still flew in four chefs from Kolkata so that the meal would have its proper Bengali ambiance.
The most visible evidence of India's economic take off can be seen on the roads. Mumbai still has its 1950s Fiat-style taxis but, whereas three years ago these dominated the roads, now they elbow their way alongside a mass of Toyotas, Mercedes, Hondas and 4x4s. There is even a Rolls-Royce showroom in Mumbai, which, when we passed it, had not only a regular Phantom in the window but the new convertible version being shown to a client outside.
The conspicuous consumption of Mumbai makes many people feel uncomfortable. The top Indian surgeon who was with me the sort of person who in London might well have one told me that he felt it could not be right in a country with India's poverty to have people spending upwards of 250,000 on such a car. It is certainly true that Ratan Tata, current head of the Tata group, lives modestly in his bachelor flat in Mumbai and the group gives much of its profits to its own charitable foundation. On the other hand, there are other Indian industrialists who have a quite different profile.
There will be further symbols of India's economic progress on the roads this year as a result of a Tata initiative, and not doubtless the rising numbers of Jaguars and Range Rovers. No, the symbol will be the "one lakh car". One lakh rupees is equivalent to about 1,275 and Tata is launching a new car for that price later this year. So suddenly the growing ranks of the new Indian middle class will be able to trade up from cramming a family of four or even five on to a motor-scooter and have a real car instead. It will be the equivalent of Europe's Fiat 500 and Citroen 2CV after the Second World War.
As such, it illustrates the way economic development in India is taking a rather different route from development in China. In China the cars are big bigger on average than here and there has been massive infrastructural investment to try to accommodate them. Go to Shanghai or Beijing and you will find that multi-lane highways are shooting up all over the place, to be immediately crammed with cars.
By contrast, investment in infrastructure in India has lagged behind and, with education, is one of the two serious challenges that the country faces. Compared with Shanghai, Mumbai feels a mess. The two cities are of roughly comparable size with around 17 million inhabitants, but whereas in Shanghai you feel you are in a fully developed country, in Mumbai you are very aware that you are in a developing country. More than half the population still lives in shanty town settlements, not something they allow in Shanghai.
But if development in India has, so to speak, further to go than in China, there are reasons to believe that it may go on for longer. One is demography. China's population is ageing fast, thanks in part to the one-child policy. Though birth rates have come down in India, they are still above replacement rate. Within about 30 years, India's population will pass China's. Another is that while China's burst of investment is remarkable, actually rather frightening in its scale, it will come to an end, whereas India will have to carry on investing for two, three or more generations to come. Some calculations by Goldman Sachs suggest that 20 years from now, India will be growing faster than China.
If that is correct, getting the relationship between the UK and India right is of prime national importance. It is important to us not just because Tata seems to have a better chance of maintaining jobs at Jaguar and Land Rover than Ford could manage. It is important because power is shifting from both Europe and North America towards Asia.
It is a shift almost as important as the shift away from Asia and towards the UK, then Europe, then the US, that happened 200 years ago with the Industrial Revolution. Our influence in the world will increasingly be through our friends in Asia. We need to continue building our relationship with China and it is wonderful how many young Chinese students there are in the UK right now, more in fact than in the US. But maybe we have not focused enough on India even if India is now about to focus on us by injecting a new lease of life into two of our most famous motoring brands.

Eleven candidates have filed for the three open Kanab City Council seats. That is a great thing - thank you for running for public office! You have not only expressed your opinion on what's going on, but are willing to become involved to do something about it.
In our 19 years of owning the newspaper we have never seen that many candidates running for office … including during such divisive issues as roads, natural family or anything else for that matter.
We are sending out questions to the candidates, and ask that they return them with a photo and their answers. We will publish the answers over a two to three week period. The order will be selected by lottery.
With so many candidates, we are setting some ground rules. Candidates are limited to one personal letter to the editor. Supporters may write letters, but please keep them brief! These letters must be under 150 words in length. We will not tolerate open rants or mean-spirited commentary. (People want to know what you can offer, not negative rants on the other candidates.) No letters to the editor regarding any candidates will be printed on the Wednesday before the primary election on September 13.
Good luck to all the candidates. We hope those who are elected will reflect what the majority of Kanab citizens want the community to be.

GAMA statement on President Trump's 2018 budget proposal
The General Aviation Manufacturers Association issued a statement in response to President Trump's Fiscal Year 2018 budget proposal on shifting the air traffic control function of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization:
"Removing the U.S. air traffic control system from the FAA could create negative impacts for aviation safety, rural and small communities, national security, and air traffic control modernization as well as for other important regulatory reform efforts.
"The FAA air traffic control system is the safest, most efficient, largest, and most complex in the world. To a degree not found in other countries, the economic health and vitality of numerous businesses and communities, small and large, depend on the U.S. aviation system. We must not weaken this strong foundation.

Supreme Court: NBAA challenges incorrect IRS application of federal excise tax
The National Business Aviation Association this week filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review a Fifth Circuit decision on the IRS's incorrect assessment of federal excise tax (FET) on management fees paid to fractional aircraft providers.
In the 2016 decision, the Fifth Circuit upheld a ruling that monthly management fees charged by FlexJet, once owned by Bombardier Aerospace, were subject to FET.
When Bombardier last year appealed the Fifth Circuit's decision, asking the full court of appeals to reconsider siding with the IRS, NBAA filed an amicus brief supporting the company. The Fifth Circuit denied that request, and Bombardier is asking the Supreme Court to hear the case.
NBAA's amicus brief now, as then, argues the IRS never provided precise guidance to fractional programs on the application of FET to aircraft management fees.
NBAA welcomes Congressman's inquiries about FAA's SMO settlement agreement
The National Business Aviation Association has thanked Rep. Ralph Abraham (R-5-LA) for his letter to federal officials expressing "deep concern" about the unprecedented settlement between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the city of Santa Monica, CA over the future of Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO), and asked that the agencies provide the rationale behind it.
The letter was sent to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Elaine Chao and FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
Under terms of the settlement agreement announced in late January, the FAA will permit city officials to reduce the length of SMO's sole runway from 4,973 feet to 3,500 feet - restricting access for many turbine-powered aircraft - while requiring the city to operate the historic airfield only through Dec. 31, 2028.

How safe is Europe's 'ultra-safe' aviation industry?
Pilots call on decision makers to stop spreading "alternative truths"
Under this - slightly provocative - question Members of the European Parliament, researchers and pilots gathered on Tuesday (22 March) for a breakfast debate in the Parliament.
Hosted by MEPs Agnes Jongerius (S&D) and Georges Bach (EPP), they examined the key findings of the recent 'Safety Culture in European Aviation' study by the London School of Economics (LSE) and EUROCONTROL.
Pilots called on decision makers to stop spreading "alternative truths" and instead recognise that not all airlines honour the same safety culture principles and that some business and employment models could be detrimental to aviation safety.

Wake turbulence from an Emirates A380 jetliner sent a Challenger 604 business jet - flying 1,000ft beneath it - into an uncontrolled roll, flipping it upside down three times [possibly five] and causing it to plummet thousands of feet.
The incident, reported this week by The Aviation Herald, occurred over the Arabian Sea on January 7th.
The Emirates Airbus A380-800 was at FL350, 630nm southeast of Muscat and about 820nm northwest of the Maldives - en route from Dubai to Sydney - when the business jet passed underneath in the opposite direction.

From Burritos to Crepes, Paula Kraft, founder and President of Atlanta, GA-based Tastefully Yours Catering, has it all wrapped up!
Bundles of Yum
It's like receiving a wondrous gift that you can't guess until you take the first bite. You bite, chew a bit, and then then you take a moment to look at what that bundled beauty contains as it tingles your taste buds.
As my mouth salivates over the thought, I have to say that these little bundles are great for aircraft . . . already portion- controlled and easily placed and presented on a plate. When prepared correctly, they have a burst of flavor that explodes in your mouth. The variable textures as you crunch into these bundles are perfect to stimulate every needed sensation to excite your flavor detectives.
These assorted wrapped goodies are perfect for those who love the tangible food thoughts and for those who are connoisseurs of quick alternatives, as I tend to be. Let's take a look at some new ideas for either passenger or flight crew meals. There is so much more to offer than the old standbys of turkey and cheese sandwiches or the proverbial garden vegetable basket - or even the infamous cookie and brownie trays.

Magee was a 19-year old Spitfire pilot serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force when he wrote his famous sonnet, "High Flight," which has become a symbol of lost aircrew in both peace and war.
The official announcement of Magee as Honorary Poet will be made at the 2017 induction dinner and ceremonies to be held at the Vancouver International Airport on June 15. Guest presenter and speaker will be Her Honour Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. Four new members of the Hall will be inducted.
Born in Shanghai, China to missionary parents, John G. Magee Jr. attended Rugby School in England where he first distinguished himself as a poet. Later, continuing his education in the United States, Magee earned a scholarship to Yale University. However, in 1941, before the United States entered the Second World War, instead of attending university, he enlisted in the RCAF and trained as a pilot in Canada, graduating with the rank of Pilot Officer.
Posted to England and qualifying as a Spitfire fighter pilot, Magee wrote "High Flight" after completing a training flight. The poem was mailed to his parents, first printed in a Pittsburgh newspaper, and became widely known after publication in his father's Washington D.C. church bulletin. On December 11, 1941, Magee was killed in a mid-air collision with another trainee pilot in England.

Monday, Bloody Monday
You know, bloody. As in it's Monday and I have too bloody much to do. And I didn't get enough bloody sleep last night. Or, my child is growing up too bloody fast. That kind of bloody.
Of course, it's also bloody, as in my child has a loose tooth.
These days I'm getting entirely too many questions on the whole Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny issues and frankly it's a little heartbreaking. I mean, of course there's a Santa Claus. And a Tooth Fairy.
Well today the Tooth Fairy had had enough. She easily made a believer out of a way-too-bloody-skeptical-for-his-age (in my opinion) little boy. Conveniently she knew he had a loose tooth whose departure was imminent. And then look what showed up in our mailbox!
It even showed up with personalized tags and everything.
We spent the remainder of the day writing apology letters to the Tooth Fairy for lack of faith and tugging on that loose tooth.
Now, we just have to get the bloody thing to come out.

Common Core is destroying LAUSD education
Despite efforts to revamp the K-12 education system in Los Angeles, new standardized test results released by the California Department of Education have shown that Los Angeles Unified School District is suffering the most, with only 33 percent of students achieving target goals for math and 25 percent in English, according to the Los Angeles Times. And it seems — though the topic is highly contested — that Common Core is the underlying root of the issue at hand.
To USC students: If you consider the future of the workforce, the educational system for your children and the state of the economy, you'll take this issue to heart. Angelenos are at the center of an educational crisis, but due to a failed program and the…

AUSTRALIA -- A rollback on imposing ATM withdrawal limits on cash machines in gambling venues has taken place in Australia, The Guardian reported.
The previous Labour government had introduced the measure as a proposal to tackle problem gambling under its pokie-reform platform, the report said.
However, the Social Affairs Minister issued a directive that instructs the gambling regulator to prioritize giving gambling venues an exemption from the limits, according to The Guardian report.
It appears possible that the increased economic burden that would be placed on ATM industry to comply with the regulations is behind the directive, the report said.

SEWARD, SAMUEL (1794–1870). Samuel Seward was born on December 29, 1794, in Pennsylvania and married a Virginia woman named Anna. Seward was a veteran of the War of 1812. He came to Texas around 1828 and purchased land in Coles's Settlement, later named Independence, on the Brazos River in Washington County. The family, including three sons, arrived there from Virginia on Christmas Eve 1835. Seward is said to have bought the estate of the merchant Colbert Baker, who died prior to 1837. The old Seward home at Independence, probably the first large two-story house in the community, was built in 1855 of hand-hewn cedar. The Historic American Buildings Survey of the United States Department of the Interior has photographed and made architectural drawings of it. Seward died on May 25, 1870, and is buried in Washington County.
