They make us burst into tears and laugh like madmen and giggle like teenagers and sometimes, inspire us to do great things and bring greatness unto our lives. When we see underdogs go up against unprecedented objectives, in spite of all afflictions and troubles, we can identify with them. We as a whole need motivation. And here it is, from the hinterland of movies, old and new; raw inspiration.
1. It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
This motion picture is one that makes us esteem connections. At the point when a holy messenger descends as a response to George Bailey's petition longing that he wasn't conceived, he starts to perceive how he has affected his friends and family. For proper medical marijuana, it is a must to go to medical marijuana toronto.
2. Rocky (1976)
The narrative of Rocky Balboa is not simply of boxing, but rather of battle and diligent work. The challenges of every day life that he battles to gain for, his association with his closest companion's sister and the development of his vocation are all well-sew parts of the plot, and this general perspective of his life is the thing that makes the motion picture so exceptional.
3. 127 Hours (2010)
Imagine a scenario where you were made a request to pick between excised your hand and passing. That is the choice Aron Ralson needed to make in 127 Hours. The five days in the life of this solitary trekker being caught and his wonderful come back to human advancement is an account of survival.
4. Into The Wild (2007)
As the name apropos uncovers, Into The Wild is an account of breaking free. 'I don't have confidence in professions Mr. Franz, I think vocations are a twentieth century innovation,' is an exchange that well mirrors this estimation. Christopher McCandless, leaving his gainful vocation as a competitor behind, gives his belonging for philanthropy and sets out on a trip to Alaskan wild.
5. Schindler's List (1993)
During an era of genocide, this film recounts the narrative of a genuine legend. Oskar Schindler's course of action to keep his Jewish laborers secured to guarantee his plant is still in operation did work for his advantage, as well as spared numerous pure lives as well.
6. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
The Shawshank Redemption tells the story of run of the mill banker Andy Dufresne's 19-year sentence in incarceration. The film gives a strong message of friendship and perseverance and lets us have an insight of the lives at Shawshank. The film just doesn't end with innocent Andy's escape but also his mate, Red's redemption making it an inspiring story of hope, faith and bonding.

One thing that always gives a Mormon away is that we don't drink alcohol. It's bound to come up when we're in social situations. Some people don't really know what to think of it, but there are many different reactions. At my husband's office holiday party one guy asked me while we were sitting on a party trolley and alcohol was in abundance, "I mean, it's a personal decision right? You're not judging me because I'm drinking and you're not, right?" My response to him, "Of course, I wouldn't be here otherwise."
Many of my husband's coworkers get together in bars and clubs. Even though he doesn't drink he still goes along and enjoys the company and down time. I don't run into the situation as often because I'm with my son most of the time and not many people drink at play dates. I hate the idea that people may feel that I am not drinking to either prove a point or to show moral superiority. That is not the case at all. I don't drink for myself. It is a personal decision that is between God and me. That's not to say that I have my own opinions about the negative affects of alcohol. Driving drunk? I'm just going to go out on a limb and say that it's not good. Getting hammered every night or every weekend? Probably not a great idea. Addicted to alcohol? Get help. I'm a nurse as well a Mormon. I did rotations at a chemical detox facility. Alcohol can have extremely harmful effects on the mind and body. But, to be honest I really don't think that social drinking has a huge societal or health impact. I still don't drink.
But, just because I don't drink alcohol and I think it can have negative health and societal effects does that mean I am judging everyone that drinks? Absolutely not. Do I think people are bad because they drink? Not at all. I understand that alcohol is a huge part of many people's culture and I am not going around thinking, "sinner" every time I see someone drink. We can be friends even though we choose to live different lifestyles. You can have your wine or beer or your drink of choice and I'll have my Perrier with lime and we can have a great time. I went out to dinner with some girlfriends this weekend and we declared that it was a judgment-free zone. We can each eat as much or as little as we want and we're not going to judge each other on it. That's how I see it with alcohol. I think we'd all prefer a judgment-free zone. I know I do.

The Tactile Atlas of Switzerland
gives people with visual impairment access to quality cartography. We love this approach to understanding geography. The tactile maps are made to be touched rather than seen. Raised symbols provide tangible differentiation for each feature. The atlas shares the sense of place in a new way for those unable to read traditional maps. Its methodology paves the way for the development of more tactile maps that represent other areas and various themes around the globe.
The usual rules do not apply when you want your map to be readable by fingertips rather than eyes. Symbols must be bigger and spaced wider than dictated by traditional map standards. Cartographically, it's not advisable to portray data at a scale larger than it was captured to avoid implying more precision than is accurate. In the case of the Tactile Atlas, that is exactly what was done to ensure an adequately thin distribution of features. Too many features too close together, or with too much complexity, would be difficult to discern by touch.
Determine which layers to include together on each map type, and choose how to symbolize them. Choose large monochromatic symbols that can be distinguished by touch.
Generalize the data if necessary, to reduce complexity in line work, and ensure enough white space between discrete features.
Label features sparingly with large labels in Braille. Develop a glossary of abbreviations if necessary, by adding an attribute field of abbreviations and generating a report.
Divide the maps into a cohesive map series atlas.
Print the hardcopy atlas pages with a special printer and special paper. The paper swells when the ink reacts with heat in the printer to produce raised tactile features and labels.
"Swiss Map Vector 500" is the Swiss national 1:500,000 scale map in vector format provided free by the Federal Office of Topography, swisstopo. For this project, we used data of the railway network, hydrology, mountains, administrative boundaries, and settlement information.
Software included ArcGIS Desktop (ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap).
Data layers were extracted from the database, and further generalized if necessary. A field was added in the attribute table to contain abbreviations for labeling.
Getting the maps right took many iterations after evaluations by visually impaired map readers. Refinements included improvements to the abbreviation dictionary when two letters were not sufficient to distinguish place names from one another. Numbers were appended to the abbreviations in this case. The project, with review and refinement, took approximately seven days to complete.
Limit labels and reduce those that are shown to simple two-letter abbreviations to allow Braille text to be shown no smaller than 21-point size. Create an abbreviation glossary as a companion.
Use large, distinctly shaped point symbols.
Space symbol details, such as railway hatches, far enough apart to be easily discernible by touch.

A gray sky and light rain set the scene for the inauguration of the U.S.'s 45th president: Donald J. Trump. With the Capitol as their backdrop, groups of protesters provided a constant stream of chants, while supporters held their own with calls of "USA, USA, USA" and "Trump."
Red "Make America Great Again" hats bobbed in and out of throngs of people scattered across the National Mall, but one thing was markedly visible: space. And a good amount of it.
White plastic flooring lining the grass was visible as were pathways to navigate through the crowd with ease. There wasn't a line for the hundreds of port-a-pottys, and it did not take much muscle to zig-zag your way to the front lines of the non-ticketed viewing area.
As the pomp and circumstance of the presidential inauguration progressed, so did the escalating tensions between protesters and supporters, culminating in hours of rallies and demonstrations in downtown D.C. following the official events.
But in the crowd of the non-ticketed viewing area, the crowd were largely supporters, traveling from across the country to view this moment. A mix of young men and women and older adults, they cheered as Trump gave a nationalism-fueled speech calling to rebuild an America of ages past.
These photos help tell the story of inauguration day 2017 — both support and protest.

How'd you like to be part of a world record?
Ethan Bryan will be at Kauffman Stadium on Saturday, looking for people to play catch with him. He'll bring the baseball and an extra glove (unless you're a lefty).
For $1, you can join the fun. You're no doubt asking why it'll cost four quarters to take part in the event. Bryan plans to donate all the money raised to Team Not For Sale (http://www.notforsalecampaign.org/team-nfs/), which is dedicated to bringing freedom to those trapped in modern-day slavery.
In an effort to raise as much money as possible, Bryan plans to go for a world record with the help of RecordSetter.com. It would be the "Largest Game of Catch with One Person."
On his blog, Bryan writes: "Everyone with whom I 'play catch' — I throw them the ball and they throw it back — will be asked to write their name down on an official list, which will then be submitted along with video and photographic evidence in hopes of setting another catch playing 'world record.' "
You can read more on Bryan's quest on hisblog.

Here are the carnations and baby's breath. They don't look like very many, but it's 150 stems, plus the baby's breath. As soon as the flowers arrived, we plopped them into buckets with water. They have opened about 50%. The whole house smells wonderful.
We went everywhere, searching for vases. We needed about 25 of them, and all the ones we found were at least $11 or more. Some were over $25 each. It seemed like such a waste for something that we were only going to use for one day. So at the last minute, we tried a local dollar store. Look what we found.
Eureka! There were tons of vases, all for a $1. We bought all the vases on the bottom shelf, and came home with 25 vases for $25 bucks plus tax.
Now, the vases were a little small, but still functional. My husband and I decided to "pretty them up" a bit for the wedding. We didn't have any specific ideas, but we went to Michael's craft store and started brainstorming. We got some pretty ribbon, some fake "wedding rings" that were in the wedding favors section, and some tiny silk flowers.
Here are the rings, cost: about $4.00 for a bag of 200.
My husband used a glue gun and some patience to create these vases over the next three days. It took him about 2 1/2 hours to do all of them.
UPDATE: Here's a photo of the vase, filled with water and flowers. Even with the carnations and baby's breath, it looked sparse, so we filled the vases with some additional green filler from our backyard flowers. There was a LOT (over half) of baby's breath leftover, so I probably would skip buying the baby's breath if I had to do it again.

Bracelets for menA bracelet is an important part of a complete wardrobe and can help you show off your confidence and personality.
Below we have many suggestions to answer some frequently asked questions, to help any man find his new favorite bracelet.
Types of Men's BraceletsWe offer bracelets for men in a wide variety of materials, so no matter what you are looking for, we are ready to help you find it in our collection.
Leather Bracelets
The vast majority of leather bracelets at Trendhim are made from 100% cowhide leather.
Bracelets are often made of split leather, top layer leather or whole grain leather.
Whole grain leathers are very rigid and often too thick to make bracelets with, therefore most of the bracelets we sell at Trendhim are made of the best quality top layer leather. Our high standards provide you with the finest quality leather that just gets better and more comfortable with use, while keeping its wonderful leather scent.
Steel Bracelets
Almost all steel bracelets available at Trendhim are made from 316L stainless steel, better known as surgical steel. 316L surgical steel is very high quality and perfect for making jewellery. It keeps its brilliant shine and polished beauty for many years and is very resistant to wear, rain or snow and even perspiration.
Beaded Bracelets
Beaded bracelets for men have recently made terrific gains in popularity. We offer beaded bracelets for men with both wood and natural stone beads. Because our pearl bracelets are made from natural stones that vary in textures and colors, no two bracelets are alike and each is quite unique on its own.
Our men's beaded bracelets are often made of beads in diameters of 6mm, 7mm or 8mm.
Boy's BraceletsBoy's bracelets are also made from these natural materials, so all beaded bracelets are good for males of all ages.
If you have very small wrists or are looking for small men's bracelets, you can use a measuring tape then consult the chart at the top.
You can select by category and filter the bracelets for anything under 19cm.
The vast majority of young males have wrists of about 15 - 17cm.
Use our sizing guide to help determine the size that will fit your wrist.
How to find the size of the bracelet?The best way is to measure the wrist just above the wrist bone, then add 2cm as shown here. The measuring tape should not be wound too tightly when taking the measurement.
The wrist shown in the picture is 8.2 inches, so we add 0.8 inches and the proper ordering size for this wrist would be 9 inches (22.8cm).
If you are unable to measure the wrist, for example if the bracelet is a gift to someone, here are some good rules of thumb to guide you.
8 1/2 inches or 21.5cm = Fits the wrist of a smaller man
9 inches or 22.8 cm = Fits the wrist of a medium sized man
9 1 /2 inches or 24 cm = Fits the wrist of a large man
Just click on the Size button on the menu at the top of the page to select the size you want.
Bracelet locksWe offer a large selection of bracelets for men and one of the distinctions on the different bracelets are the types of locks that they are equipped with. On this page you will find descriptions of all of our lock varieties.
Knot locks
The bracelet is locked in place by tying the two ends of the cord into a knot. This also enables you to easily adjust the length of the bracelet.
Push locks
A round knob is simply pushed through pre-punched holes to solidly hold the leather bracelet into several locking positions. There are also plastic insert locks on the sporty paracord bracelets.
Metal locks
This category has a wide variety of locks that include snap shut rivets, belt buckle style, lobster claw, insert twister and metal watch strap clip shut style locks. All of these metal locks ensure firm and reliable locking positions.
Hole locks
The lock is a metal object with a couple of holes in it where the end of the bracelet is pushed through and locked into place. This provides a great variety of possible length adjustments. This category also includes loops that simply pull over a metal piece.
Magnetic locks
The magnet locks ensure an extremely secure locking position so you can safely wear your bracelet in everyday activities. The magnet locks are often coupled with twist locks for double security.
Note that several types of locks make it possible to adjust the length of the bracelet.

Christopher Lee might not appear in Peter Jackson's latest fantasy, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," the second installment in the filmmaker's most recent cinematic trilogy based on the writing of J.R.R. Tolkien that arrives in theaters Friday. But the venerable actor has taken to the Internet to promise that his wizard Saruman gets plenty of screen time in next year's final movie in the saga, "The Hobbit: There and Back Again."
"There's a lot of me in it, a lot," said Lee of the film that opens Dec. 17, 2014.
He added that viewers can also expect to see "a tremendous amount of fighting, sword play, understanding, sympathy, kindness towards Galadriel, towards Gandalf. I'm not saying anymore because that would give the story away. But it's the third film in which I have the most to do."
"I hope I'm around to see that," he added.
For the last several years, Lee's made it an annual rite to post a Christmas video to YouTube — in the latest address, the 91-year-old thespian, wearing a hat left to him by his close friend and frequent costar Vincent Price, describes his "Hobbit" appearances and comments on the recent release of the definitive cut of "The Wicker Man," the early 1970s cult film by Robin Hardy that the actor singled out as one of the greatest British films ever made.
(That movie, which starred Edward Woodward as a detective who meets an unexpected fate after he's sent to a remote village to investigate the disappearance of a young girl, was famously truncated when it first reached theaters, but was exhibited in its complete form this fall.)
It was "The Hobbit," though, that Lee discussed mostly, recalling his experiences on both "Lord of the Rings" and his character's appearance in 2012's "An Unexpected Journey," in which Saruman the White shared a council table with Cate Blanchett's Galadriel, Hugo Weaving's Elrond and Ian McKellen's Gandalf.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Sixers open their regular season Wednesday night against the champion Heat, but a longer view was part of a team appearance yesterday in Center City.
While coach Brett Brown told fans in the lobby of the Independence Blue Cross tower that this will be a building year for his team, the Sixers also honored a few members of the long volunteer arm of Blue Cross, the Blue Crew with over 2,000 members.
Foundations Manager Sheila Hess said, "A lot of it is something that's contagious. Once our employees do it once, they go back and want to do more."
Hess says the Blue Crew has been active since 2001.
"It's an on-going type of project that we do for these non-profits and truly make a difference. We get more out of it personally as a volunteer than probably what we're able to give back. It's just such a rewarding, fulfilling opportunity."
Some of the Crew got t-shirts but clearly the main reward is on the inside.

Isatin is an endogenous compound which acts as a selective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO) B. In this study a range of isatin analogues were tested for their in vitro inhibition of human MAO A and B. Most of the analogues were less potent than isatin. Hydroxylation of the aromatic ring changed the inhibitory potency in favour of MAO A, with 5-hydroxyisatin being a potent and selective MAO A inhibitor (ic50 8?M). Isatinic acid, which is formed reversibly from isatin at alkaline pH, showed no inhibition.

MIAMI (Reuters) - A former member of the Black Panther Party charged with hijacking a U.S. plane and forcing it to fly to Cuba nearly 30 years ago, was denied bail in U.S. federal court on Tuesday.
William Potts, 56, made his third court appearance in Miami since he returned to the United States from Cuba two weeks ago to face justice.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman ruled Potts was a "flight risk," due to the potential 20-year jail sentence he faces, as well outstanding charges in New Jersey.
Potts is charged with hijacking a Piedmont Airlines flight in 1984 and demanding it re-route from Florida to Havana. He was arrested when the plane arrived in the Cuban capital, charged with air piracy and sentenced to 13 years in a Cuban prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Maria Medetis said Potts has previously admitted guilt to an act of terrorism, and cited an outstanding 1984 arrest warrant in New Jersey on armed robbery charges a day before the March 27 hijacking.
"The defendant with a knife held up an 18-year-old gas station attendant and fled with the cash," she said.
Federal Public Defender Paul Korchin argued that Potts had already been prosecuted in Cuba for the hijacking and served a total of 16 years in prison there, before he was released more than a decade ago.
"There's no indication that between his release in Cuba and arrival here he committed any crimes," he said. "He wants to be in the U.S.," where his two daughters now live, he added.
"His entire family is willing to cosign a bond. We suggest there are conditions that can be fashioned to ensure his appearance."
Potts told reporters before he left Havana on a charter flight to Miami November 6 that he was seeking "closure" and hoped to persuade U.S. prosecutors to take into consideration the time he served in a Cuban prison.
Potts is thought to be one of the last of more than a dozen members of the Black Panthers, a black nationalist group, living in Cuba. Others have returned home to face long prison terms or have died.
Cuba has regularly returned U.S. fugitives since 2006, but Washington says dozens remain in the Caribbean country.

From The ECHO (Spring 1967):
"With fall each year comes football, the big sport in high schools across the land. The players sweat it out in the August sun. The cheerleaders, majorettes, and band practice to perfection. Everyone eagerly awaits the flip of the first coin and the sound of the referee's whistle."

Jonathan successfully lost nearly 100 pounds and has spent years spreading his knowledge among his social group.
In 2010, Jonathan began writing fitness-related content for LiveStrong.com, and swiftly developed a reputation for creating no-nonsense fitness guides for all experience levels. He is currently studying for his American Council on Exercise personal trainer certification.

Pfizer undeterred from tax inversion deals
Pfizer CEO Ian Read said Tuesday that it would still leave the country for tax reasons if the right deal came along. "I see no reason why we wouldn't be able to do an inversion," he said during the company's third quarter earnings call, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. The US Department of Treasury announced new rules intended to discourage tax inversion deals last month. Among them, the Treasury stated it would target hopscotch loans, which let companies access foreign cash without paying US taxes and the restructuring of a foreign subsidiary to gain tax-free treatment.

Melons at the Simple Farm
This is our first season to grow melons and needless to say Michael and I are pretty excited with the results. Every day we find more and more new little melons starting from those flowers that the bees just love!
We planted several varieties of melon - along with the regular jumbo water melon we seeded three kinds of French melons: Ananas, Charentais and Petite de Gris.
The Ananas melon here says it's known in France as "Ananas D'Amerique a Chair Verte" and is one of the most popular heirlooms grown in the US and in the Middle East. The word "Ananas" translates to mean "Pineapple."
Charentais which Mother Earth News says here that this French melon is on the top of their list and just the aroma coming from the melon patch is a dead give away. Many chefs love to serve up this melon with a big spoonful of sorbet topped with fresh picked mint. The French adore their Charentais and they the link says that they traditionally serve the melon with prosciutto and that French farmers teach their sons and daughters how to grow the "perfect" Charentais.
Here Petite de Gris says that this French melon was first noted in the garden of Bishop of Rennes nearly 400 years ago. It's a melon with orange flesh, it's deliciously sweet, flavorful and aromatic. This melon is a bit slower in growing for us, but we're hopeful for a good harvest.
Our Charentais sells at the Farmers' Market for $3.25 a pound.
Our Ananas sells at the Farmers' Market for $3.00 a pound.

On the law school "brain drain"
Smart post by Prof. Muller at Pepperdine.
He points out that the current data shows that the principal brain drain is at the lower end of the LSAT distribution. For the most competitive students, including students who will be competitive at Northwestern and certain other schools, there has in fact been a slight to moderate uptick in the percentage of these students applying to law school.
None of this contradicts the central fact that law school applications are down nationwide, but it does illustrate the utility of more fine-grained data as we consider these matters.

TRENDING: Japanese women getting their pets painted on their fingernails
This one's for all you ladies with puppies or kitties at home that you miss the moment you walk out that door. Trending in Japan is pet fingernail art, where people can see their pets anywhere they go just by looking at their own fingernails.
When you dress up, put on certain accessories, or do your nails, you don't do those things for other people; you do them for yourself. So if seeing your dog's or cat's sweet face when you're away from home is what makes you happy, all you have to do is get them painted on your stylish fingernails.
A number of nail salons in Japan will now put images of your pet on your fingernails and make you and your nails look cute and sexy at the same time. A lot of girls are taking advantage of this opportunity so that they can see the faces of their furry babies waiting for them at home while they're out and about.
If you think about it, you can literally put images of anything or anyone on your nails. Whatever you want, there's a nail artist that can get that on your nails for you. And if you really want to make it fun, you can always do it yourself!

If War Starts
Editor: As an avid readEr of editorial sections, I am compelled to write and commend your ''Perspective'' section of Nov. 18. It contained three outstanding articles on the numerous problems and implications we could face if war starts in the Middle East.
I was especially impressed and depressed by the article entitled, ''U.S. doesn't want to lose, but it may not want to win either.'' It thoroughly convinced me that if we win, we will lose ` just like Korea and Vietnam, only much worse.

Branding.. Pretty small word for such a big game.
As well as in some other underrated areas of business, branding is much more than meets the eye.
Brands are everywhere and have increasingly become an important component of today's culture and economy, and in such a competitive playground, brands must seek to bridge the gap between them and consumers. For that, a strong brand name, image and identity are fundamental for a consumer-side recognition over other competitors brands. In a nutshell, this is Branding.
We don't define ourselves as a graphic design or advertising agency, nor a packaging or web design studio, because it's really about what a brand really needs, rather than what we have to sell. In every challenge we get, all of our capabilities may be of use, in some cases, only a few.
With what we believe to be a strong creative and conceptual component and a "Throw The Line" plan of advertising that combine both "Above/Below The Line" technics, our effort is to assemble every possible available resource and convey them to achieve a solid brand recognition.

LSU's Les Miles thinks 25 SEC teams should be ranked in the Top 25
A record 10 SEC teams were selected in this week's AP Top 25 Poll, but that wasn't enough to satisfy LSU coach Les Miles.
Miles thought that the SEC should have had a few more teams represented in the AP Top 25, according to theadvocate.com's Scott Rabalais.
"I thought we should have 25 teams in," Miles joked during the SEC teleconference on Wednesday. "They didn't rank the second teams."
OK, all 25 spots is a little more than just a few, and while some second-teamers have enough talent to start for other schools, Miles' comments might be stretching it a bit too much.
All seven schools from the SEC West and three schools from the East are currently ranked in the AP top 25. So yes, the SEC is still pretty good, but maybe not as good as Miles' usual jokes.
Ohio State, Baylor, TCU and 12 other schools might have a few other ideas that contrast with Miles' comment.
Miles asked about 10 SEC teams in @AP_Top25: I thought we should have 25 teams in. They didn't rank second teams. Classic quote, Yogi. #LSU

Rat-L-Trap ColorsRat-L-Trap Colors The truth is that we do need a good selection of lure colors, but let's not get out of hand. Here are a few tips to keep it fairly simple.
By Tommy Martin
Well, we all asked for it and the lure companies gave it to us. I'm talking about all the different colors lures come in today. How many of us have called lure companies and said. "If you would just add a little green on the back, this lure would kill em." We are all guilty.
The truth is that we do need a good selection of colors and, they are fun in the tackle shop. However, with a few tips you can keep it fairly simple.
It's probably the best time for big bass because of the spawn. Springtime means the water is warming and so is the atmosphere. And that usually means showers and rising water. Most reservoirs will get a little extra water from rising creeks and rivers. This will muddy things up a little, so now is the time to use bright colors and noisy lures.
I like using Traps in crawfish patterns in bright red and orange for the early bite. Many of the lakes are full of crawfish, a favorite snack for big bass. Remember bass are opportunist and crawfish are slow and easy to feed on.
Keep in mind the Louisiana mudbugs can get real big and the bigger they are, the more color they put on.
When working the banks in the spring, you can't beat a Rat-L-Trap. It's easy to cast and will cover a lot of water quick. A Trap and a spinnerbait can do a lot of damage in a short time. My favorite color for shallow water is chartreuse or bright green.
Here's why. Have you ever taken time to notice how many small bream and perch are under docks and around the banks of any lake? The majority of them will fall into the yellow or green perch family. It's an endless food supply for any predator. If you catch one and look closely you can see on the tips of the scales highlights of green and chartreuse. That's why chartreuse and white colors work so well in the spring.
A good tip to remember is that bait in shallow water are a little harder to catch and usually move quickly to avoid being eaten. Using a faster retrieve can trigger more strikes.
Get ready for things to slow down. With the water warming, fish will try to find a constant temperature zone.
Points or flats that are close to deeper water offer great holding areas for bass. It also gives them a great ambush point for unsuspecting shad that raft over the edge.
Take notice of where the eyes are located on all predator fish...towards the top of their head. They can see everything that moves above them. Bass can lay and wait off a deep point and rocket to the surface in a split second to bust the school into oblivion. It's a perfect scenario for a Rat-L-Trap. Cast beyond the point and bring it across, then let it fall for a few seconds. I've caught a lot of fish like that.
There are three colors that work well in this situation; chrome, chrome, and chrome. More fish have been caught on a Chrome Blue Back Rat-L-Trap than any other lure I can think of. It's the no brainer. It's kind of an old saying. "If nothing else works, tie on a Chrome Trap". I've heard this on the circuit all of my life and it still stands true today. It's the go-to bait for a lot of fishermen.
Cold fronts and cooler temperatures usually mean feeding frenzy prior to the front passing through. It's nature's dinner bell. Usually bass will "stock up" or gorge to protect themselves from long periods without abundant food.
When water temperature starts to fall, fish react much like a bear prior to hibernation.
The main source of food is still shad. However, the water is now super clear from the lack of substantial rain during late summer. Shad will start to take on a different hue with sunlight penetrating the clear water. They will appear to have some blue, green, brown, and even red tints in their scales.
Rat-L-Trap offers the perfect color series for this bite. They are shad patterns with variations of colors on the sides of lure and have white bellies with markings like a shad. These natural patterns are perfect for this time of year. It's been my experience that light colors like pearl, bone, and white are also good producers in clear water.
Clean your boat, reels, camp, and spend lots of time with your bride. Not necessarily in that order.
Tommy Martin won his first tournament at the age of 32 on Ross Barnett Lake in 1972. He has now been a Pro for 30 years and loves teaching and motivating others to fish for bass, and teach others to respect other pros and anglers during tournaments. He is the winner of 19 national tournaments, has had 54 top 10 finishes, was a Bassmasters Classic winner in 1974, and has fished in 19 Classics. He is one of the pioneers in professional bass fishing.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - International stocks and taxable bonds raked in cash for the 40th week in a row as investors tiptoed away from the domestic equity market, Investment Company Institute (ICI) data for U.S.-based funds showed on Wednesday.
Taxable bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds attracted $5.9 billion, and world stock funds pulled in another $2.7 billion, the trade group said.
The data reflects activity in the week ended Sept 6, after North Korea's largest ever nuclear bomb test and U.S. investors were shaken by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey. Stocks have gained in the days since as those concerns ebbed.
"With the uncertainty tied to the impact of hurricanes and geopolitical risks tied to North Korea, investors have continued to favor the relative stability of investment-grade bond funds," said Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF and mutual fund research at CFRA.
The demand for bonds comes even as prominent investors warned about the safety of debt markets. Hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman on Tuesday said it looks like bonds are in a bubble. Closely watched investor Jeffrey Gundlach, also on Tuesday, said he was not optimistic about how bonds will fair in the next recession.
Domestic stock flows dipped during the most recent week, with withdrawals nearing $3 billion, compared to $3.7 billion in inflows the week before.
An MSCI Inc gauge of U.S. stocks trails the 21.3 percent return of 46 other top markets by more than 8 percentage points this year.
"The relative strength of international equities has likely contributed to continued demand," said Rosenbluth.

Final Countdown - Memories of Big Chiv!
25 February 2015|Tottenham Hotspur
As we move closer to our Capital One Cup Final against Chelsea at Wembley, we've been speaking to a number of legends who've had a close affinity with the competition throughout their careers.
Today, we hear from former striker Martin Chivers.
Two Wembley triumphs, three more semi-finals, 23 goals – it's no surprise that the League Cup has a special place in the heart of one of our greatest goalscorers, Martin Chivers.
Third in our all-time goalscoring list, Martin scored a hat-trick in his first League Cup tie for us against Aston Villa in September, 1968, and in his eight seasons at the club, won the trophy in 1971 and 1973 and reached the last four on another three occasions.
The pinnacle for the England great arrived in 1971 when he struck both goals in our 2-0 victory over Villa, who were then in the old Third Division (League One) but achieved the dream of reaching the Wembley final.
That fairytale lasted until the 78th minute when Villa's resistance was broken. Jimmy Neighbour's shot was parried by heroic goalkeeper John Dunn into the path of Martin, who couldn't miss from six yards.
The clinching goal was a different story, a wonderful individual effort as Martin pulled down Alan Mullery's pass on the edge of the box, turned away from two Villa defenders and drilled into the bottom corner.
"It was the schoolboy dream," reflected Martin this week. "It was the first time I'd played at Wembley so to score two goals on your first appearance has to be the greatest of all dreams.
"We edged it in the end against Villa. I was gifted with the chance all strikers dream of – six yards out, no goalkeeper – I just had to keep the ball down and stick it in the back of the net. The second wasn't bad though! That was the icing on the cake."
Two years later, we were back at the home of football for another League Cup Final, this time a narrow 1-0 win against Norwich City – Ralph Coates striking the only goal of the game.
"Ralph was my room-mate, God bless him. He scored the goal and we always took the mickey out of him – he made that shot a yard further out every year!
"He also did that celebration where he ran right around the back of the goal and it was only Stevie P who had the energy to keep up with him! We all looked at him and thought 'what are you up to Ralph?' We all had to wait for him to come back to the half-way line!
"I was so pleased for Ralph. He deserved something special from his time at Spurs, he worked so hard for the team and was an unsung hero for us."
Martin left us for Servette in Switzerland in 1976 after playing a huge part in the glory years of the early 1970s.
As well as the League Cup success documented above, we won the UEFA Cup in 1972 – Martin scored his most famous Spurs goal in the first leg of the Final against Wolves, a 35-yard humdinger – and reached the UEFA Cup Final again in 1974.
"It was a great team, like a family," added Martin. "Every player had such a long affiliation with the club and you could easily name the team then. We all knew each other so well.
"If one of us wasn't quite doing it, we'd say so. I used to get some right dressing-downs from the lads, let alone Billy Nicholson or Eddie Baily! They knew what I was capable of, they played with me and knew my strengths and knew it would come good if they gave me the service.
"We all want success for the fans more than anything. The fans here are fantastic. They lifted me when I was playing. I was eight-foot tall when I went out there."

I personally prefer using bar soaps rather than liquid soaps because not only do I feel like it lasts longer than the same amount of liquid cleanser, bar soaps are generally sold in less packaging. Liquid soaps must always come in a plastic bottle, which means purchasing it is encouraging the production of more plastic bottles, not to mention resulting in more waste. There is also a common tendency to overuse liquid soap because it's sometimes difficult to gauge how much you need for a decent lather.
But if you still prefer using liquid soap, learn how to make your own foam hand soap here!

Pressure Cooker Italian Drip Beef French Dip is wonderful for large parties, as the meat can be made in advance.
Pressure Cooker Italian Drip Beef French Dip
We love sandwiches in this house and we love French Dip Sandwiches. There is a very famous place in Downtown, LA called Phillipe's French Dip. I've been there many times over the years.
I was not impressed the last time we visited, much to my dismay. Someone recently had posted that they love Italian Drip Beef Sandwiches.
This recipe is converted from The Pioneer Woman's Drip Beef Recipe, for the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker and behold, a Pressure Cooker Italian Drip Beef French Dip!
In reading the recipe, I realized that it is basically a French Dip, but with another name. There are very few ingredients involved for Ree's Drip Beef.
The tougher cuts of meat work best in this recipe, such as, Chuck Roast, Rump Roast, Shoulder Roast, Brisket, Top/Bottom round.
This is a great recipe for a Freezer Meal!
Trim your meat really well and then drop it into your Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker.
This recipe is so flexible, you can use lamb, pork or any other tough meat that needs a longer cook time.
If your roast is large, cut it into quarters.
I used a couple packets of Good Seasonings Italian Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix.
If you use plain Italian Seasoning, you will need to add some salt, if there is no salt in the mix.
For other tastes and flavor, you can use this same method to make a bazillion different recipes, just by changing up the seasonings.
I keep a lot of Homemade Pressure Cooker Bone Broth (Stock) in my freezer, so that is what I used. You can use any boxed or canned Beef Broth, Beef Stock or Beef Consommé.
Feel free to add any other type of stock to change up the flavors of your Pressure Cooker Italian Drip Beef French Dip.
We always have jars of Pepperoncinis in the house, as my husband loves to put them on sandwiches.
Toss at least 16 of them into your Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker cooking pot.
Add half the bottle of juice from the jar of Pepperoncinis in as well. Mix the Dry Seasonings into the liquid.
Mezzetta Italian Mix Giardiniera can be used in addition to the Pepperoncinis or in combination.
Both give similar results.
This looks so delicious.
If you let the pot sit for a while, you will be able to scoop out some of the liquid fat.
Remove the chunk of meat from the Pressure Cooker cooking pot and use two forks or Meat Shredder Claws (that I own, but forgot to use) to shred it up really well.
Allow the Juice to cool in the refrigerator, so that the fat will rise to the surface.
And skim it off.
Or use a Fat Separator to remove all the fat and grease right away.
Shred the meat really well, don't miss any, as you don't want chunks in your Pressure Cooker Italian Drip Beef French Dip sandwich.
Place the meat back into the pot of juice and you are ready to serve.
If you refrigerated your Pressure Cooker Italian Drip Beef French Dip overnight, after shredding, just place the meat back into the Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker and heat for five minutes.
Good deli rolls are very important. French Bread, Sour Dough bread all work well too! If you want a really nice way of toasting in your Air Fryer, check out this silly recipe Air Fryer Perfectly Toasted Toast, which makes the best toast and bagels. If you don't have an Air Fryer, a toaster or oven will also work.
Rub fresh garlic on the buns, or sprinkle some garlic powder and then spread with butter or Ghee.
You can use butter, if you like. I love to use Homemade Ghee as much as possible, as it tastes great and holds up under high temperatures.
Toast buns, face side up until slightly golden.
Add your meat and Pepperoncinis on top of the bottom roll. Cheryl, from one of my cooking groups, loves Spicy Pickles on her sandwich!
If you like, you can dip your bread into the juice first and close it right up. That would be a proper "French Dip."
If you like cheese, add any melting cheese on top of your sandwich. Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Muenster, Munchie, Oaxana, etc.
Place the bottom of the sandwich back in your Air Fryer or Toaster Oven and let it melt for about 20 seconds. My husband loves cheese, so he got a good amount.
I don't like cheese on my meat sandwiches, so I went without.
Using a Fine Mesh Strainer, pour some of the juice into a Bellemain Porcelain Ramekins and serve one to each person.
Enjoy your Pressure Cooker Italian Drip Beef French Dip sandwich with Salad Bar Green Pea Salad, Pressure Cooker Summer Picnic Potato Salad, or KFC Coleslaw.

- 2-4 Pounds Beef Chuck Roast (cut into quarters)
- 15 oz Beef Consommé (or broth)

Lock on lid and close Pressure Valve. Cook at High Pressure for 55 minutes. When Beep sounds, allow a Full Natural Pressure Release.
Remove beef from pot and shred well. Skim fat off juice and return beef to cooking pot.
Butter both sides of Deli Rolls and sprinkle garlic on both sides. Place in Air Fryer or under the boiler and toast until slightly golden. Place meat on top of bottom half of Deli Roll and top with cheese, if desired. Melt cheese in Air Fryer or under broiler.
Place a couple of Pepperoncini Peppers on top of meat. Place top bun and cut sandwich on the diagonal. Serve with a Ramekin full of juice, for dipping.
Mezzetta Italian Mix Giardiniera and the juice works really well in this recipe.

Hard to disagree with the Italian Prime Minister's comment on this point. Most Italians, polled at the counter while sipping their espresso, double down on the issue, adding that Hillary Clinton is this, and Nikolas Sarkozy is that. As Berlusconi himself explained to Sarkozy during the tense G4 meeting in 2008 (right after Lehman Brothers collapse) quote: "It was me who gave Carla to you!"
You can almost here the pain of policemen listening to one after the other villain's phone: "Oh no! Not him again!" The new phone conversations wiretapped between Mr. Bunga Bunga and various wanted Italian criminals would make Charlie Sheen blush like a little girl. You might ask, how comes those communist Italian judges, always picking on the Prime Minister's private phone? Funny story. Berlusconi, a.k.a. Mr. "In my spare time I run a country" (that's what he said on the phone to one of the escorts to justify why he couldn't meeet her one night), appears to spend most of his awake time on the phone either with either:
1/Criminals on the run: politely advising them to not come back to Italy or they'd get arrested.
2/Ho's and blow's dealers: bragging with them about his recent performances and setting up deals with public companies. After the momentous New Year's Eve 2009, when the Prime Minister said to the pimp: "I'm under siege, Playboy announced I'm the sexiest politician in the world, I can't hide." [I swear this is on tape.] "Last night I had a line outside my bedroom: eleven! I only banged eight because I can't take more… I'd invite you over, but all my bedrooms are full."
3/One of the dozens of escorts he's involved with: discussing details of the party and his own recent performances in the big Putin's bed, donated to him by the Russian Prime Minister.
During all of the above, happily under the ears of the police and the Treasury cops. In one of the clips, leaked to the press, you can listen to the voice of our very own Mr. Berlusconi, planning with the wanted guy on the run some new parliamentary strategy to grant to himself and to the other Ministers under corruption allegations, immunity from prosecution, and the appointment of the new chief of the Treasury cops, who's going to protect their friends' companies from police investigations. This tape is an invaluable piece of literature, a reality show on tape about the "Last days" of this empire.
The latest wiretap is the proverbial cherry. While talking to Gianpaolo Tarantini, the pimp who procured hookers for him and his guests and cocaine for the summer parties, the ever-green prime minister referred to Angela Merkel, the German prime minister, as "culona inchiavabile" – if you want to practice Italian dirty talk with your partner, it sounds something like "koolonah inkiah-vahbeeleh." Which literally means "unf**kable lard-ass." The several other remarks on Sarkozy and Gordon Brown have yet to be leaked.
"Italy is a shitty country. I'm leaving!"
Is that quote by a young Italian PhD who can't find jobs? Or by the head of the Mafia, chased by the cops?
The Mafia clue might get us closer, but we're not there yet… The quote is what's on everybody's mind in Italy these days. The run on the national debt, downgraded today by S&P, mass unemployment, government members accused of corruption or abetting prostitution. If you ask the average Italian, that's what they would tell you. Once again, it's Mr. Berlusconi who is always on the same vibe as his fellow citizens: the man who wants to leave the shitty country is the one who's been running it for most of the last seventeen years: that's how great a job he did!
On the bright side, it looks like the most Catholic country in the world is finally loosening up on its proverbial bigotry… The Vatican does not seem to be the least disappointed from the Prime Minister's numerous sex and corruption scandals, not even by the gory details of the orgies and the underage prostitution. A few weeks ago, a small opposition party proposed to start taxing the ginormous amount of real estate owned by the Church, who does not pay a dime of taxes as of now – in fact, it gets billions of state subsidies on top of that.
When they are not covering up their pedophile colleagues (the pope is set to be charged with crimes against humanity at The Hague), the bishops spend their time working out backdoor deals with the government to get even more money. This time Berlusconi made a real deal with the devil: if the Church speaks up on his corruption-prostitution-cocaine scandal, he is going to include taxes for the Vatican in the devastating austerity plan Merkel forced on Italy. And here we come full circle. The Prime Minister, blackmailed by the dozens of pimps that know everything about his parties, Mr. Berlusconi is blackmailing the Church in return. Forgot to mention: it's been a tough day for Mr. Berlusconi, today. He declined coming to the UN meeting in New York City, because he had to appear in court in one of his trials. After such a stressing day, such a demanding hobby to play the Prime Minister, he will finally get back to his quality time…
The nitty gritty details of Silvio Berlusconi's 'Bunga Bunga' parties.
A bidding war has started for pictures of Silvio Berlusconi naked with an underage minor.

The ABC'S of insomnia
Insomnia is very popular in population.
This sleep disorder is a tool used by the body to indicate that something is not going well. It can present itself in various ways:
- Difficulty to fall asleep or to maintain sleep (frequent awakening during the night)
- Very early morning wakening
- Etc.
Several types of factors can cause insomnia:
- Psychological (such as stress)
- Psychiatric (such as depression)
- Physical (such as pain)
Who can suffer from it?
Insomnia can occur at all ages and remain for several days or during months, even years. It is more frequent in elderly persons, with sleep becoming lighter over the years. For several, aging is also accompanied by chronic health problems that could result in insomnia.
When insomnia lasts for more than three months, then we can call it chronic insomnia.

Thomas planning a healthy return in 2009
Frank Thomas said Friday that he will not require surgery on his injured right quadriceps; there is no tear in the area where the muscle connects with the knee, just scar tissue breakdown and tendinitis.
Thomas is determined to play one more year, and the fact that the quad problem is not as severe as thought should help him as he pursues a roster spot for next season. He is getting shockwave treatment to speed his recovery.
Thomas, 40, is tied with Willie McCovey and Ted Williams for 18th place on the all-time home run list, with 521.
"I've made my money, now it's about fun," Thomas said. "I still have some things I want to accomplish. My goal is to come back here, and we'll see how it works out - that would be my first choice.
"Knowing I'll be healthy is good. I'm ready to get this behind me and gear up for next year."
Duchscherer hopeful, Braden hurting: All-Star Justin Duchscherer confirmed that he wants to make one or two more starts this season despite missing more than three weeks with discomfort in his surgically repaired right hip.
Duchscherer, diagnosed with inflammation, will play catch today and is scheduled for a bullpen session Monday and another later in the week. He said he would like to go into the offseason having proven he is healthy. Manager Bob Geren said that if Duchscherer can't start in the final week of the season, he might work a bit in instructional league.
Left-hander Dallas Braden said that he tweaked his groin "a lot more than I thought" Thursday and it was still bothering him Friday.
Geren said that if Braden needs to be pushed back his next start, Monday's offday could give the team that option, or he could be skipped if necessary.
Gold Glove for Ellis? Geren filled out his Gold Glove ballot but was unhappy he couldn't vote for his own players because he believes second baseman Mark Ellis and catcher Kurt Suzuki are deserving.
"I hope being injured the last couple of weeks won't hurt Mark's chances," Geren said.
It didn't with Texas manager Ron Washington, who voted for Ellis. "He should have won it two years ago and last year," the former A's infield coach said.
Briefly: Triple-A Sacramento beat Oklahoma 8-5 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five Pacific Coast League championship. Wes Bankston hit a three-run homer and Brooks Conrad a solo shot. ... Sacramento's game today has been changed to 10 a.m. Pacific because rain is expected in Oklahoma City. ... Ellis received the Dave Stewart Community Service Award for his charitable contributions on the local and national level. . ... A's radio announcer Ken Korach, who established the "A's Winning for the Community" program this year, presented a check for $24,000 to the Oakland Athletic League high school baseball teams.
