Exactly a year after I got to witness the return of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in Birmingham, the band were back with their first UK tour in many years. Being able to say that I have seen the band is a dream come true, being able to say that I have seen two of their shows in the space of a year is just unreal.
When I attended the event last night, there was a great mix of people in the crowd from little kids, their parents, to their parents and even grand parents. But there was a lot of talk from the older generation that I found a little sad. By that, I mean I don't think a lot of the older generation quite appreciated what they were getting last night. There were a lot of comments (through out the venue) regarding how the performance would not be the same as the '70s and '80s. What these people don't realise is that the people of my generation or younger have never had the opportunity to see Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow live and for Scottish rock fans like myself under the age of thirty five, this was something we never thought we would get to see and are grateful for every second we got from the band.
With all that said, the band sounded fantastic for the most part last night. By comparison to last year's show, it was clear within the first minutes that Ritchie and the boys had rehearsed more. Not only did Ritchie Blackmore himself play considerably better with a lot more consistency, precision and a big boost in confidence, the band themselves felt more enthusiastic and a lot less nervous.
Much like the previous year Rainbow hit the stage with the Joe Lynn Turner classic Spotlight Kid. But unlike the previous year, every note came out much clearer and considerably sharper. The band sounded magnificent from the get go. I Surrender came next with a great belting performance from Ronnie Romero that continued through Mistreated and Since You've Been Gone. It is interest to note how well Romero's voice suits songs written for different singers like David Coverdale, Ronnie Dio and the previously mentioned Joe Lynn Turner. Even though he has a much more coarse singing voice than these singers, he always belts them out with good consistency and a lot of power. I especially loved his performance in Mistreated, though that was not just a highlight for Romero but the band as a whole. The song was less drawn out compared to last year and felt a lot more enjoyable for it.
After that magnificent set highlight, the band blasted out the Russ Ballard fan favourite, Since You Been Gone which ended before the solo and quickly transitioned into Man on the Silver Mountain and Sixteenth Century Greensleeves. These songs were great to hear and worked very well battered out in quick succession. To round off this group of songs we got a lovely rendition of Soldier of Fortune (another highlight for Romero) and Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers. The latter is another example of the band sounding tighter then before. In Birmingham Perfect Strangers was a little too loose but was short, tight and snappy in Glasgow. The extra power provided to the organ and guitar really helped make the sound pop out the PA for that matter.
Right after this, the band played the set instrumental Difficult To Cure. All was going well with the band sounding extremely energetic when all of a sudden the band leave the stage. At this point the audience looked puzzled as poor Jens Johansson had the spotlight on him as he performed a keyboard solo for what felt like an eternity. Look, I love this guys previous work. I know very well what this guy is capable of, he is a legend in the world of heavy metal but someone needs to have a word with the person who decided this was a good idea. Half way through the keyboard solo, the crowd lost their cool shouting and booing at the stage. Something I have never seen during a performance.
Thankfully the band had the sense to come back on stage to play an excellent guitar heavy rendition of All Night Long, a good lengthy version of Child In Time and a hair raising performance of Stargazer. Stargazer also came across more powerful and hard hitting then it did last year. The added bass drum fills at the start really gave drummer David Keith a bit more credibility with the old timers. Which to be fair, he sounded great playing next to Bob Nouveau all night. The two are a great rhythm section with their chemistry clearly being a lot smoother this time round. The main set finished off with the classic Long Live Rock 'n' Roll. This one wasn't quite as impactful as the previous tracks but had a nice shuffling groove and felt a little laid back by comparison. I actually quite enjoyed the song this way. It kind of gave the band some breathing room and had a great groove thanks to the previous mentioned bassist and drummer.
After a very short (and pointless) wait, Rainbow came back for their encore playing Deep Purple's Burn, Black Night and Smoke On The Water. I won't deny that I could have done without the last two songs as I have heard them way too much over the years and I'd like to wager that Ritchie Blackmore himself is sick to death of playing them. I was however surprised to hear the band play The Temple of the King from the band's debut album. I personally would have played the previous song and followed it up with the beautiful and sadly missing Catch The Rainbow. But that is just my opinion and who am I to dispute Ritchie Blackmore's choice in songs.
The show last night was not perfect by any means, but I'd rather have a band flub a chord or two every now and again then play the song exactly how it is on CD. That kind of unpredictability is what I want to see from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow and was exactly what we got last night. To make the night even better, the sound man responsible for the show did a wonderful job with how the band sounded. Even up in the balcony, both Mostly Autumn and Rainbow came across beautifully with each instrument coming across powerful and crystal clear. I would recommend this tour to any fan out there who wants to witness this legend in person. As far as concerts go, I have no problems seeing this line up on tour again and I hope they go on the road this time next year as I feel that this line up has a lot of talent and it would be a crying shame to under utilise it.
We had a blast two shows running, now lets make it three!

So I guess I should introduce myself.
My name is Aimee, and I'm a 21-year-old college senior (finally) at a state university in California. I enjoy writing, reading, going to the beach, playing with my numerous pets. I am known by my friends for being sarcastic, and of course, painstakingly witty.
I am writing this blog to document my last year of college, my attempted authorship, and everything in between.
If I had a million dollars I would buy a nice house big enough for at least 2 of each animal- Noah's Ark status- and go on a month-long trip around the world, stopping mainly in Europe and Australia.
So far I have been to Italy, Ireland, England, France, Greece, and Germany- just a few checked off on my very long list of places to go.
I have always wanted to write a book, unfortunately I have never had the drive to actually finish and publish one. This blog will chronicle my journey to do so while balancing a full-time internship and going to college full-time. Eventually, I hope to use the blog to promote my (published) books!
My pet infatuation started young, with hamsters and cats and guinea pigs and fish. Now I have a 1 1/2 year old Pomeranian named Sophie who may or may not be mixed, and a rescued bunny named Leo who was named because he was found abandoned by his owner on a hill near the arts building of a local college. In the house there's also the sultry black cat Matilda, and old gentle soul Sam, who have both adopted my dad whether he likes it or not.
I have lived in Southern California my entire life, and am appropriately snobbish about our beautiful weather averaging 360 days of sunshine per year. I will brag about this to anyone who even mentions weather, and never fail to mention to my New York cousins that while they shoveled snow on Christmas, I was busy getting a sunburn at the beach.
I can't think of anything else as of now, but since I doubt anyone will read this blog it's kind of like writing to myself. Fine with me!

For 30 minutes every Sunday morning from 5:30 to 6:00 am Vince and I look forward to sharing with you some of the issues we see every day.
Face it. If we believed everything we heard or read none of us would never even think of buying a home again. The news has been nothing but negative about real estate values across the country. The next 30 minutes is our opportunity to dispel the myths associated with the real estate landscape in your local area. Within every marketplace there are obstacles and solutions on the path to tremendous opportunities. Vince and I believe that most people are looking for practical advice.
The Real Estate News this week has been all about Banks and fines. No jail time yet for anyone but lots of fines. Bank of America settled with Fannie Mae for $10 billion for "questionable" loans they sold to the government agency. The settlement consists of cash and they are buying back 30,000 loans. Bank of America is also selling the servicing of 2 million loans worth something in the realm of $306 billion dollars in an effort to distance themselves from problematic loans. Keep in mind that this cost must be a drop in the bucket to B of A as their stock went up because the settlement was less than expected. Seriously? Because it is jump all over Bank of America today they (a bank) made a slight miscalculation in calculating the cost of their legal defense of all the claims. They miscalculated by $5.2 billion. This is not we were off by a little bit. Again. Seriously? Finally for the lighter side of lending luxury home sales soared in the last quarter of 2012 because of the "fiscal cliff". People were obviously concerned that they would be taxed differently so they sold their homes before the end of the year to take advantage of the lower tax they knew about. Wonder how they felt when nothing changed with the exception of our take home pay.
Please join us Sunday Morning at 5:30 am on WPHT 1210 am for an honest assessment of the markets in your area.

Unfaithfulness Sentence Examples
- Divorce is rare, unfaithfulness after marriage not common and incest unknown.
- On the other hand, divorces among persons of the upper classes are comparatively rare, and divorces on account of a wifes unfaithfulness are almost unknown.
- Not improbably the sealing means to our author the preservation not from death, but through death from unfaithfulness, and the number 144,000 would signify mystically the entire body of true Christians, which formed the true people of God.
- He received from both bitter letters of reproof; it was rumoured that he would be disgraced, and Buckingham was said to have compared his present conduct to his previous unfaithfulness to Essex.
- His defence of the notorious edict of July 9, 1788, issued by the Prussian minister for ecclesiastical affairs, Johann Christoph von Wollner (1732-1800), the object of which was to enforce Lutheran orthodoxy, might with greater justice be cited as a sign of the decline of his powers and of an unfaithfulness to his principles.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Police forces of the Islamic militant group Hamas that rules the Gaza Strip suppressed a demonstration by local youth movements calling for it to mend ties with the rival Palestinian government in the West Bank.
Hamas supporters took over the podium where protesters were expressing their demands Wednesday. Some Hamas units in civilian clothes beat the demonstrators and made arrests.
Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007, leaving the Palestinians split between two governments. The secular, Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas governs part of the West Bank.
The bitter rivals agreed under last year's unity deal to form an apolitical unity government made of technocratic government ministers. However, little progress has been made in the unity efforts, and the West Bank and Gaza remain divided.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-1965) NetworkServerControlImpl never closes the socket or streams it opens in setUpSocket.

[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1965?page=comments#action_12442990 ] Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-1965: ---------------------------------------- Dan, I looked through the patch and wondered why do you do closeSocket(); in the finally block for methods sysinfo() and runtimeInfo() whereas in all the other places, closeSocket(); is not inside the finally block? Also, you probably didn't have any comments for the new method closeSocket() because it is self explanatory but I wonder if we should put something for this method since there is comment for the existing method setUpSocket(). Other than this, the patch looks good to me. > NetworkServerControlImpl never closes the socket or streams it opens in setUpSocket. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DERBY-1965 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1965 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Network Server > Reporter: Daniel John Debrunner > Assigned To: Daniel John Debrunner > Priority: Minor > Attachments: derby1965_diff.txt > > > Every method that calls setUpSocket should have a call to a new closeSocket() method. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Habitat Freebies
We have been busy with our habitat unit.
Last week we finished up the savanna.
This is an example of our Savanna Alliteration. There are 10 different animals for the kiddos to pick from. For such a simple little thing, it ends up being a pretty extensive lesson and takes us quite a while to complete. But they are adorable.
If you're interested, they are the freebie (check out the download preview :D) included with "Happening Habitats".
This week the kiddos will be presenting our poem of the month. I've been using the poem forever and have no idea where I originally found it.
Click the pic if you'd like a copy of the poem, parent letter and small pocket chart cards. I am having the kids use those small pocket charts I got at Target's dollar spot this summer. I picked up four of them. It works out great to have 4 different sets of the cards out for the kiddos to work on with those small pocket charts.
Have a fabulous week teacher peeps!
❤I LoVe your comments!❤

Cheap chromebook
Thanks I will look into your suggestions.Ironically, this one I am on is the one that would not come on when I wrote this AM.I had to go out for a few hours so I just unplugged it. When I came back I hit the on button and nothing, and then rememberedthat I had unplugged it..... so plugged it in and now it came on.thought maybe the battery was drained and needed the plug and that miht be why it initially did not but battery says fullAt least this will give me enough time to get whatever off it that I might really want.Alan.I use my laptops for emailing, and some pen pals, from time to time , and GC.This one also has some recipes stored in it.... but those I can print out.I have been using this one a lot for genealogy research, not storage of anyone.... I print thse also.I do write letters or whatever needs to be written... on a very old Word Program... that I managed to put on here when Windows started charging a monthly feefor Word, or make you buy it.... when Windows 10 came about.I do have some docs stored, and a hand full of pictures.... And that is about all I use it for.As to this one.... I will just move to email or dropbox, delete or print whatever docs I have been saving...and by then hope to get a replacement....Since I need two... yuck.Anyway... just a point of interest.Twice in the past year when using this one it just cut out dead while I was writing something, I discovered if I unplug it and let the battery drain, plug it back in it would work fine.... So maybe that is the connection of the problem. Anyway, thanks for your advice everyone
I had to go out for a few hours so I just unplugged it. When I came back I hit the on button and nothing, and then rememberedthat I had unplugged it..... so plugged it in and now it came on.
".........is the device plugged into the electrical outlet ma'am?"If Chrome/Google are your default browser and search engine, I would also say a Chromebook will be a good choice for you. You can save pictures and recipes, and use an alternative (free) office program for your PDFs, and Word Docs. Use Google Drive to save your data to the Cloud server. Just an example; https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Chromebook-Aluminum-Quad-Core-CB3-431-C5FM/dp/B01CVOLVPA
Maybe all you need is a new battery
Yes, Sir....It is firmly plugged in....Now as to Chrom book.Yes, I run Google Chrome... Ever since Fiirefox got corrupted for me.... I miss Firefox.Would it be a good choice to take to FL for a month in JAN on my very first, and likely last snowbird escape?
Maybe, but I always keep it plugged in to electric... why would I need a battery?
Good, I shall try that.I had thought a battery was not even needed if you kept it plugged in....In any event... after this one came back to working yesterday, it updated. The other that I had had many issues of slowness... even in just typing a simple email or GC response or trying to open a new page or check a linkalso seems to be working ok if I turn it on and don't even look at it for 15 minutes. It also picked up speed, and typing slowness was gone, as was the slow link connection ... which I had been suffering through for a good month after it also updated......I hate computers.... but they are a necessary evil to those who need them for various contacts.But I shall try a battery in both. Thanks
You're correct, a battery is not necessary to operate the computer. I have used them many times with no battery installed. Many of the less expensive laptops manufactured in the last 10 years suffer from intermittent power button issues, usually Foxcon logic boards, the only repair is to replace the board or do the waiting game to which they somehow manage to turn back on by themselves.
What I would try first is run the computer without the battery and see if that helps.Defective batteries may request a high flow of current from the charger. If the main board does not receive sufficient current it may clock down the processor.Also your HDD will not work well. There are many reports of people changing batteries which affect the speed of their computer.Its worth trying.

I'm sad to report that I have become a victim of a great travesty against all womenkind. The kind of travesty that only time will heal.
My right big toenail met an overzealous pedicurist. Thanks to him [I know, awkward that I have a 'him' pedicurist, right? My husband is the only man who has the right to know how often - or not - I shave my legs, I'm just sayin'.] I now have a sideways crack/split in the middle of my piggy and I'm terrified I'm going to hit something or snag something and cause myself some serious agony.
Is there a statute of limitations for pursuing my legal rights in regards to this? I feel like with Beautiful Nail as my go-to mani/pedi dive, I'm probably forfeiting my rights to any guarantees of quality, you know?
It's a good thing fall, aka boot season, is [almost] here, that's all I know. =)

17th Jan 2017
Penhurst Gardens, Beechcrofts over 55s development, in the heart of Chipping Norton has proved an outstanding success for the company with only two homes available and one to be released. Now, the team at Beechcroft is preparing to launch four new show homes at Buchanan House, just off New Street.
The one-bedroom and three-bedroom show apartments and the three-bedroom show house will be available to view from Saturday, 21st January from 10 am to 4 pm, and guests will be invited to enjoy a glass of champagne whilst viewing these beautiful new homes.
Buchanan House is the conversion of one of the buildings formerly used by Penhurst School but which started life as a pair of semi-detached villas. The villas have now been converted into just 11 new homes including one, two and three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom houses set in beautifully landscaped and fully-maintained gardens.
The development will have a communal lounge with small kitchen area and there will be an Estate Manager to handle the day to day administration, including the maintenance of communal areas and the gardening.
Currently, the new homes available at Buchanan House include a three-bedroom lower ground floor apartment at 460,000, a one-bedroom upper ground floor apartment at 360,000, a two-bedroom second floor apartment at 370,000 and a three-bedroom, three-storey house at 600,000.
Each new home has been designed according to Beechcrofts principle of creating homes for the over 55s with plenty of generously-proportioned living space but with fewer bedrooms than one would expect in a mainstream property of a similar size.
For further information on Buchanan House, or to secure an invitation to the launch, please contact the Beechcroft sales team on 01608-641147, from Tuesday to Saturday inclusive, 10 am to 5 pm. Details on all Beechcroft developments are available on the website at www.beechcroft.co.uk.
Beechcroft is a leading UK retirement developer building outstanding homes for the over 55s in Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Middlesex, Gloucester and Kent. Beechcroft's retirement houses and apartments offer award-winning landscaped settings and estate management services, access to shops and services and a community of like-minded people.
This is independent retirement living at its best - perfect retirement properties for the over 55's to live in or lock up and leave.

Ohio 2nd on 'Horrible Hundred' list for puppy mills
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) - A new report by the Humane Society of the United States lists Ohio among the worst states for puppy mills.
The Humane Society hopes the list will help to draw a widespread awareness about cruel conditions at puppy mills, which are large pet breeding operations that focus on profit over animal welfare.
Missouri continues to have the largest number of puppy mills in the report for the sixth year in a row, with 23, according to the Humane Society. Ohio follows in the second spot, with 13. Rounding out the top five are Iowa with 10, Pennsylvania with nine, and Kansas and Wisconsin tied with eight each.
The Humane Society has flagged eight cities in the state of Ohio. Millersburg, Ohio topped the list with six violations.
One third of the breeders and dealers in this report are "repeat offenders," who have appeared in one or more of their past reports and have yet to been found, according to The Humane Society.
The report says that Campylobacter, which is a bacterial infection that can also spread from puppies to humans, is becoming more common in puppy mills.

Beltram's New Gig – The Piedmont Republican Club
October 6, 2009 by Gary Coats
Filed under News
Beltram has been all but quiet since leaving the GOP, challenging the party leadership and even blasting it at times. Such as a comment made on his Facebook profile after being presented an award for his long service in the county party at last weeks Bronze Elephant in Spartanburg.
"I rushed home from my sales trip to attend the Bronze Elephant event…..we only had 125 people and the local Dems had 350 at their event. It is really too bad that we have fallen so far in just 6 months!!! What has happened????"
As many of you may know, Beltram founded the Piedmont Republican Club immediately (12 days) after the county GOP decided they would unite (~75%) and remove him from his long held position as Spartanburg GOP Chairman.
While doing a little research today on Beltram's Piedmont Republican Club, I stumbled across a book about Greenville written by Archie Vernon Huff. The book titled "Greenville: the history of the city and county in the South Carolina Piedmont", even discusses some political discourse that took place in 1976 during Reagan's rise to national prominence.
A group of individuals from the conservative right became excited and went to work in the Republican Party to help nominate Ronald Reagan. As a result, the current leadership (1976) was ousted from power. Those ousted from power, well, they formed the Piedmont Republican Club.
"They withdrew and formed a rival organization, The Piedmont Republican Club and blamed their ouster on the influence of Bob Jones University…until 1980 Greenville County had essentially two Republican parties, and the result was disastrous in local races."
One has to wonder, is Beltram working to accomplish the same thing in 2010. Let us know what you think in our poll and in the comments!

Sleepless Nights

Dream Water: Sleep In A BottleWe've all been through it: sleepless nights. There is the tossing and turning to no end... your brain won't shut off or the aggravation of outside noise. Some try sleeping pills, while others go for something less aggressive. CBS4's Vanessa Borge put Dream Water to the test.

Carbon Auto Theft 2
You are one of the best car thief in town and now, your client wants you to steal some luxury car for them. You know that this would be hard since those luxury cars are well guarded. But, hey, the clients are going to pay you big. Besides, you are getting tired of your job and you need some huge cash to get out of the country and start anew. This is the perfect opportunity for you to have a new life. The police can't find you and thus, you don't need to fear anything as long as you don't do anything foolish again. The idea of the game is to steal a car. You start up with joining some wires. If you got it wrong then the alarm system would surely make a noise and you would be caught. But, if you are successful then you can drive the car out of the garage. Of course, you need to make sure that you won't hit anything as that would trigger another alarm system. After, you got away from the garage and you are on the road, you still need to drive carefully as you need to make sure that you won't hit another vehicle. If any vehicle would hit you, you won' trigger any alarm, but you would end up dead.

Braid fishing line has become more popular to use in most aspects of fishing than ever before. Carp anglers especially have used it for some time but now more and more sea anglers are coming to realise the benefits of using a line that has a far greater strength to diameter ratio than any monofilament line.
The advantages of using braid against monofilament line far out way the drawbacks.
Braids used to be very visible in the water but now with braids such as Dark Moss Green 'Tuff' Braid this has been eradicated almost entirely. The Dark Moss Green Braid is very popular with Carp anglers.
Braids are very abrasive resistant and of course having a far greater strength to diameter ratio they are less prone to snap under most pressures. Some braids are available with just a 0.28 mm diameter to 100lb breaking strain! Our braids are made from the same material that is used to make bullet proof vests! They are made from the highest quality 100% Dyneema braid fibre currently on sale today.
With less diameter than monofilament, braid has less water resistance and therefore is better in a tidal pull as found at different stages of the tide and in deep water. This is the reason why braid is often used in boat fishing by a lot of anglers. With less diameter it is less sensitive to wind, having a better resistance to cross winds etc than monofilament. You don't get as much drift or drag on the line.
Braid has very little or no water absorption so keeps you more in touch with a fish. When you use braid for the first time you will feel a very significant increase in 'feel' with a fish on the hook.
Braid fishing line has no stretch or memory so every little tug or pull by even the smallest of fish is felt on your rod tip.
The one thing you have to allow for is that having no stretch you have to be careful when setting a hook after a 'bite', a little restraint is necessary so you don't pull the hook out of the fish's mouth.
Using braid fishing line spinning for Bass or Mackerel in the summer can be great sport. It's great for casting plugs and spinners, I find braid fishing line outcasts monofilament because of less wind resistance and being lighter and is thinner pound for pound. It's also a fantastic sensation feeling every pull and tug of a sporting fish such as these once hooked.
A lot of anglers shy away from using braid on their multiplyer reels because of over-runs or wind knots. Having experimented with braid on all my muliplyers, I have four I use quite regularly, I am now quite confident in using it all the time. My favourite multiplyer is an Abu mag 6500 CT by playing around with different rigs and set-ups I have come to the following conclusions:
- Using a one hook clipped down rig, with the reel set at it's maximum distance for me, then I can hit it as hard as I like without any fear of an overrun.
- Using a 3 or 2 hook set-up then if the reel is not restrained a little using the mag then it does tend to want to overrun mid cast.
- If a gentle 'lob' is required now and again to try your luck closer in to the shore then the mag or the brakes definitely need adjusting to slow the reel down otherwise an over-run is on the cards!
The advantage for me is that I normally fish steep shingle beaches either in Suffolk or down in Kent. A lot of the areas are becoming tackle grave yards so using 0.28mm 100lb braid, I can normally get any snagged tackle back, plus a few bonus rigs besides my own. I also don't lose any distance in my casting. The best I have done so far is 8 other rigs along with my own.
It's not surprising a lot of rigs are building up as snags in the 50 to 100 yard band, a lot I retrieve are a loose piece of about 15lb main line with a 50 or 60lb shock leader attached, now if you get snagged using that sort of set-up then you are going to lose it every time it gets snagged! You can read on a lot of forums how anglers are now getting fed-up with losing gear all the time. The rigs mentioned are great on a clean beach but not in an area that is known for snags.
One guy who I sometimes fish with said that in reality I am making matters worse by using 100lb braid because if I break off then I am adding 100lb breaking strain line to the equation that nobody is going to break off from if they get snagged on it. I disagree.
In a snaggy area I can normally pull in 3, 4 or 5 other rigs when I get snagged. I have only lost 2 rigs myself in the last 2 years but I have cleared probably about 30 or 40, so in my reckoning, I am making the area a cleaner place for others to fish. Plus gaining a lot of FREE leads and end tackle into the bargain!
The one thing I really like and appreciate is that I now don't have any leader knots getting full of weed and jamming in my top ring when reeling in. You could use 60lb braid line straight through and it would only be the same diameter or less than standard 15lb monofilament!
Rock anglers in general seem to shy away from using braid because a lot of rock marks and gullies contain heavy deep kelp. Trying to bully a fish out of deep kelp using braid can cause the hook to pull out of the fish because it has no stretch so is not so forgiving as there is no buffer between you and the fish. You will lose less fish using monofilament, horses for courses as they say.
I use braid fishing line on a big sea fixed spool reel I fish with on a Shakespeare Blue Metal rod (16ft 4inches long). A lot of guys are now going over to using 'continental' rod and reel set-ups. I have fished for around 50 years on and off and only recently given any thought to fixed spool reels, always happy with multiplyers all my life apart from when I am spinning for Bass or Mackerel. I have to admit these longer, softer rods can certainly throw a lead a long way without too much of an effort. The one essential bit of equipment I would recommend with these reels is, get yourself a 'thumb-button'! I use one and it takes all the pain and cut fingers away when casting. Remember braid fishing line is a far thinner diameter than monofilament pound for pound!
Braid fishing line isn't the answer to a maiden's prayer BUT it can in a lot of situations be a better alternative than monofilament.

Hexavalent chromium! Does that make your eyes gloss over. Not really "click bait" to make you excited to read.
I'm not sure that this story will make you tell the waitress that you would like to order two chickens and a coke, but it may cause you to say "no thanks" when she asks you if you would like a glass of water.
A report released by an environmental research group found concentrations of hexavalent chromium in the public drinking water systems of 200 million Americans. This includes the utilities that serve Richmond, Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
Hexavalent chromium found in the water is a metal that is known to cause cancer in laboratory rats and mice. The metal is known to be associated with industrial pollution from such things as steelmaking, chrome-plating, coal ash, paints, inks and plastics.
It is considered a carcinogen when inhaled. This is also the chemical made famous in the movie Erin Brockovich, because as a paralegal she worked on these kinds of claims. You just don't expect to see it in "our water".
It's a fair question to ask why there isn't more concern over the drinking water. The government (Environmental Protection Agency) tells us not to worry. This contaminant is considered well below the federal Environmental Protection Agency's maximum contaminant level for total chromium of 100 parts per billion.
That's just some defined general amount. That's code for "we're fine". Here's the kicker: For drinking water, the EPA has no maximum contaminant level for this metal. Does that make you feel better? Me… not so much. It makes me think twice about ordering a glass of water at a restaurant.
As far as I know, unless you are a superhero or the Tin Man, I can't figure out any good to the concept of having a glass of metal with my meal.
And for pic o' day:

Heat Pump (traditional)
Replace or wash air filter
As a filter gets dirty over time, it begins to clog with dust, pollen, etc.A dirty filter means the heat pump's fan motor has to work harder to move air through it, which means it has to consume more energy and is therefore more expensive to operate.
The filter helps to clean the circulating air, which makes room cleaning easier and less frequent, helps improve air quality, and helps to provide relief to allergy sufferers.
|Monthly during season: June, July, August (yearly)
NOTE: The tasks and timings shown here for your Heat Pump (traditional) are based on a single-family home (owned), located in Massachusetts, United States, with priority set at '1 star' or higher, for all possible goals.
If you set your personalization differently in your Home Wizard app, then you may get reminders for different tasks and timings in your recommended home care program for your Heat Pump (traditional).
How To
Replace or clean your heat pump's air filters in accordance with your manufacturer's recommendations. Ensure that the filters are placed in correct direction of air flow.

Energy Savings
Avoiding Unscheduled Repairs
The benefits of this task are moderate, as a dirty filter requires more energy to operate your heat pump. Also, if people in your house have respiratory problems, then this task becomes more important.
The cost of this task is relatively low. It is estimated that this task should only take about 15 minutes to complete, and the task is relatively easy to do. No specialized tools are required. However, you do need to purchase the appropriate filter for your heat pump in advance.

The cars we drive today have come a pretty long way since they were first introduced. From those early days, many technological and design innovations have greatly contributed to the appearance and performance of the vehicles. There is not a single car component that would not get the attention of their makers. And, of course, such important parts as headlights were not an exception. They have come through a lengthy 'surgery' to look and perform as good as they do today. Cars now move significantly faster than they did before, so they need much brighter headlights. Winjet knows that for sure and that is why all their lighting products feature superior illumination and energy performance.

Many contracts contain very general data protection clauses, including vague provisions relating to whom data might be supplied and for what purpose. In the context of more stringent obligations and much higher potential liabilities under the GDPR, such general clauses may now prove to be problematic or inadequate. Further, going forward, contracts will need to apportion liability between the parties appropriately because, under the GDPR, both data controllers and data processors will be under a duty to safeguard data.
Organisations must start thinking about the contractual provisions they will need to have in place and how they will need to change their practices to complement new provisions. The massive potential fines under the GDPR, mean liability caps and indemnities are more crucial now than ever!

THE DARK KNIGHT (Dir. Christopher Nolan, 2008, US) - Nolan reigns supreme in the comic book genre
The second film in the new Batman series, 'The Dark Knight', has gone on to make box office history by becoming the film with the all time biggest opening weekend, and the unanimous critical response and deep adoration by fans of the comic book soon pushed the film to occupy the number one position in the IMDB chart, eclipsing 'The Godfather'. Last week, the Guardian newspaper printed a feature specifically about whether the industry and critics should take such a chart as the top 250 films on the IMDB website seriously as film buffs do. I am sure the industry will and already do take such a chart quite seriously as it allows them to carry out demographic analysis that is useful for marketing their tent pole summer blockbusters. Much hype surrounded the release of 'The Dark Knight', and Warner Bros aggressively promoted the film with a fearsome marketing campaign that has really pushed the film into new audience groups who normally would stay away from such nerdy dark fantasy role-playing. Many of the films released this summer have not met my expectations and have often been over hyped, but British director, Christopher Nolan's follow up to 'Batman Begins' is clearly without any doubt the best summer film of 2008, and is perhaps the best comic book film that has yet been made by a Hollywood studio.
The primary reason why 'The Dark Knight' is such a breathtaking piece of mainstream Hollywood genre filmmaking is because the film exceeds expectations and delivers on the promise of surpassing the first film with such an air of confidence that the film ends up transcending genre limitations, becoming much more than just great a comic book film. Nolan has said that Michael Mann's epic crime opus, 'Heat', was the inspiration for 'The Dark Knight', and though Nolan was never going to be able to surpass the brilliance of Mann's definitive crime film, what he does offer us is an emotionally operatic and tragic mainstream crime thriller that succeeds in balancing interesting characterisation with impressive visceral action sequences.
David Goyer and Nolan had initially entertained the possibility of introducing Harvey Dent's character in the first film but they felt that they could not do him justice, and on reflection, this was a bold step, as 'The Dark Knight' is a film that is not about Batman, but about Harvey Dent's fall from grace, and it is due to Nolan's gift as a scriptwriter that this compelling comic book film never once compromises characterisation in favour of pointless narrative momentum. Harvey Dent's promise of a new future of civil law and order is what Gotham has been waiting for, but the appearance of 'The Joker' (Heath Ledger) creates absolute chaos and anarchy, leading to the corruption of Dent's values, and eventually turning him into a vengeful figure of uncontrollable rage and pathos. Both Bruce Wayne and Commissioner Gordon refer to Dent as Gotham's 'White Knight', and interestingly enough, his closest ally and inadvertent alter ego is Batman, a vigilante who exists to serve the immoral impulses of a society that has lost the will to faces its own enemies. The real coup was being able to get Heath Ledger to take on the role of 'The Joker', and his final performance is superbly executed and his portrayal is twisted, demented and full of energy. Nolan was instrumental in playing down an origins story for 'The Joker', and this really leaves the character with an ambiguous back story that will probably be explored in another film.
The Gothic aesthetics of Tim Burton have almost become a thing of the past, and Nolan's radical reworking of the mythology of Batman returned to the true darkness of the original comic book, creating a morally ambivalent figure that is strangely empathetic and revolutionary. Nolan's choice of casting is both inspired and brilliant, securing the acting talents of Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhardt and Gary Oldman, all who are exceptionally talented actors and help to elevate the credibility of the film. Supported by a beautifully orchestrated musical score composed by the pairing of Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, and shot with a real eye for urban architecture, 'The Dark Knight' ends on a magnificently poised moment as Batman is transformed into the villain and is forced to go on the run.
Only a filmmaker like Nolan could pull of such an audacious ending as we are denied closure, and such unconventional narrative approach is indicative of world cinema, but the fact that Nolan applies such a principle to a populist blockbuster is perhaps the reason why 'The Dark Knight' is such a bold, daring and fascinating example of what is possible within the constraints of a genre that is routinely ridiculed by film criticism. For now, Nolan reigns supreme in the arena of blockbuster cinema.

I hope that this film attracted true Batman lovers and not fans who wanted to pay their last respects to Heath Ledger.ReplyDelete

Hey, Luke here (from film studies).ReplyDelete
I was very impressed with this film. Ledger was perfect, the action was thrilling, and overall the relentless nature of the film was exhilarating, but where I felt it failed most was in the transition of Harvey Dent into two-face. Compared to the rest of the movie it seemed a tad rushed. While certainly not being as bad Spider-man 3's introduction of Venom, the transformation, and the character, may have deserved a film all to itself. The scene with the Joker in the police car with his head out of the window seemed like an ideal time to end on an 'Empire strikes back' moment leaving us plenty of time in another movie to really get to grips with this two-face character, one of the most celebrated members of the Batman mythology. One other thing, did anyone actually care if Rachel Dawes lived or died? Not me.
What do you think?
p.s. Just saw Rififi, I want to see a review from you pronto.

DANA POINT, Calif. --A stampede of dolphins was spotted off the coast of Dana Point, and it was all caught on tape.
An estimated 500 to 2,000 common dolphins were seen racing a whale-watching boat operated by Dana Wharf.
Daily sights of common dolphins are not rare, but seeing such a large group swimming together is definitely out of the ordinary.
These dolphins are known for chasing after boats, often from great distances, to swim in their wakes and leap alongside them.
