Neely henry is a lake that I'm beginning to really like. It just seems to be one of those bodies of water that you feel comfortable with, despite the fact that I have spent a grand total of eleven days fishing there. My last trip as you know was the final stop on the 2011 Bass Pro Shops PAA Tour. I was fortunate to make the final day cut, a blessing indeed. So let's dig in to the patterns and baits I used in route to a 17th place finish.
I actually discovered the main pattern that I fished on the first day of practice at 5pm. I had been on the water since daylight and had concentrated on areas near the main river, mostly on wood and grass and had failed miserably in figuring anything out. What I initially thought was act of desperation turned out to be one of the best moves I could make all week. I was in a major creek arm and noticed a long stretch of rip-rap at the back-end of the creek. Out of frustration I ran to the back of the creek to make a pass down the rip-rap. I hadn't been to the backs of any of the creeks, and I hadn't fished any rocks as of yet, but when I arrived I realized how many bait fish had migrated to the back of this creek. In my intitial pass, I caught 3 keepers, two were what I would call "good ole big-uns" a 19"er and a 20"er. I truly believe the 20 inch fish was pushing 5lbs. With only an hour or so of daylight left I got out my map and looked for similar situations, found several and the first one I fished, within three casts I caught a nice 2.5lber. I immediately stopped and felt confident this was a pattern I could run all over the lake. Day two of practive I spent up the river above Gadsden, AL I managed a pretty decent limit, but no big fish, but I also was able to establish a pretty decent pattern for those fish upriver. Day three I spent back down lake looking for more stretches of rip-rap that had all the right ingredients. I found several more areas. I quit at noon to work on tackle and get ready for the tournament.
The Derby...
I started the tournament downriver towards the dam, by 10:30 I had cobbled together a pretty small limit. Fearing, I had made a bad decision, I ran 40 miles from where I was to the areas upriver where I had caught them on day two of practice. I managed to cull four or five times, but never had a quality bite. My day one total was 8.17
On day two of the tournament I ran back downstream in hopes of catching those bigger spots I had found. I decided that I would spend all of my time on the lower end, slowing down to see if I could locate and catch these fish. I knew I needed a pretty decent limit to make the cut, I felt like the lower end had the ptoential to produce bigger bites for me. Day two ended, I had a limit that went 10.09lbs, landing me as the last man in the cut...Halelujah!...Payday!
Day three was pretty uneventful. The fishing got tough, I managed another limit, and moved up two more places to finsish 17th. Overall it was a great tournament, I never did connect with any of the big fish I had found in practice. Undoubtedly, I was in the right areas to do well, I just never got a big bite. I'm thankful for what I did catch. Below are some pictures of the baits I used during the tournament. Until the next tournament,
God Bless,
|I initially found the fish on the rip-rap with this Original Little John crankbait in Citrus Shad color.
I used a Powell 703cb glass rod and 10lb maxima monofilament with this bait.
|This is a Lunker Lure Shakee Head in 1/8th ounce. I used a Zoom trick worm in Red Bug Color on 8lb Seaguar fluorocarbon and a Powell 733 mef spinning rod.
|In the tournament, the fish seemed to shy away from my Lunker Lure Buzzbait, but it helped me locate several areas holding fish. This is a 3/8 oz white on white buzzer, I fished it on a Powell 704 cef rod with 20lb Maxima monofilament line

The stakes wagered by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) on the results of yesterday's elections were unprecedented for what were, after all, elections for city mayors, county commissioners and other local posts.
DPP Chairman Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) and KMT Chairman Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) both vowed to step down from their posts if their party did not win more than half of the counties and cities in which nominations were made.
The voters have presented their verdict -- and it looks like it is time for some serious reform within the ranks of the DPP, while the KMT can sigh in relief for now.
The DPP made 19 nominations in total, but won only six seats, four seats short of its target of 10. The KMT made 20 nominations and won a total of 14, surpassing its target of 11.
Those who still refuse to see these results as a warning for the DPP are not doing the party any favors, but fortunately for the party there is plenty of time to remedy the problems before the next major elections come around.
The DPP lost a total of five seats, Taipei, Ilan, Changhua and Nantou counties, as well as Chiayi City, while gaining Yunlin County.
It is alarming for the party that all the northern counties that the DPP held have now been lost. All six counties won by the DPP are located in the south.
But the jewel in the crown was Taipei County. Su had good reason for including defeat in this county as one of the criteria for his resignation. It is not only the most heavily populated county in the country, but because of its proximity to the capital, the ability to mobilize the county's support will be crucial for the next presidential election.
With Ma and Su eagerly eyeing the next presidential race, the importance of winning Taipei County was no secret. Victory for the KMT's nominee, Chou Hsi-wei (周錫瑋), marks the first time in 16 years that the pan-blues have tasted victory there.
Then there is Ilan County. Chen Ding-nan (陳定南) should have been able to win that race with his eyes shut. After all, he had served as county commissioner before and was exceedingly popular there as well as during his term as minister of justice. A strong DPP candidate in a county that is traditionally a DPP stronghold -- what went wrong? That is only one of the questions the DPP should be pondering right now.
The importance of these elections to the KMT derives from the fact that they were the first under the leadership of Ma.
Commentators have argued that the outcome of these elections would be a good indication of the strength of Ma's leadership. And now that the KMT has performed very well, it is widely believed that the internal rifts and turmoil that were generated by the KMT chairmanship race may subside for the moment.
It seems that the era of Ma Ying-jeou has officially started. The DPP had better start preparing itself for some tough challenges ahead. Finding out where it has gone wrong in recent years is the first step to meeting those challenges.

It may have been Super Bowl weekend but football wasn't the only sport making headlines. On Saturday, February 1, the first ever Autism Awareness Day in College Basketball ruled the airwaves with more than 80 coaches and sportscasters donning the Autism Speaks blue puzzle piece pin. Whether you were watching ESPN's game day coverage or the Duke vs. Syracuse game on CBS, the little blue puzzle pieces were everywhere.
The campaign was started by Towson University's Coach Pat Skerry and Marshall University's Coach Tom Herrion, who both have sons on the autism spectrum. Folks from around the country took part online by sharing their own photos and messages of support using #AutismHoops. Thousands of people posted to Facebook and Twitter about the event! Check out our recap below…
Anyone can participate in Coaches Powering Forward for Autism by joining their favorite coach or school's fundraising team at www.autismspeaks.org/coachpower. Participants are encouraged to enlist others to join the campaign, with the goal of each team raising $6,800 – a figure symbolic of the 1 in 68 children on the autism spectrum. The funds will go towards Autism Speaks' research and advocacy efforts on behalf of the autism community.
The inspiration: Coach Pat Skerry, Coach Tom Herrion and their sons.
The sportscasters kicked off #AutismHoops!
Thanks to everyone at Autism Speaks U that made our presence known in the crowds!
Coaches Skerry and Herrion were very grateful for everyone who made #AutismHoops a reality. We can't wait 'til next year!
Very proud to be able to be a part of a special day as we raised awareness for autism. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all involved...

U.S. debit card transaction volume rose 14.4%, to $1.35 trillion in 2007 from $1.18 trillion the previous year. PIN- and signature-debit transactions rose 15.3%, to 28.7 billion from 24.9 billion, according to Rockville, Md.-based Packaged Facts. The market-research firm attributes the debit market's growth to increased use of debit cards for bill payment and for such everyday purchases as groceries, gasoline and drugstore merchandise. A Packaged Facts analyst was not available to comment by CardLine deadline.

Many of us struggle with food issues and are stuck in a pattern of habitual or emotional eating. We know that diets don't work. We may even know why we eat compulsively, yet we can't seem to break the cycle.
Making Peace with Food & your Body is a loving, holistic approach for anyone who would like to get off the diet/binge yo-yo , develop a healthier, more intuitive relationship with food and their bodies, and find their natural body weight without dieting. This psychoeducational and experiential program was developed by a psychotherapist and lifestyle coach to overcome her own cycle of dieting and binge eating.
Why diets don't work :
Diets do work – temporarily. But statistics indicate that 95% of people regain the weight they have lost through dieting. I believe this is due to diets being restrictive and outer-dictated instead of inner-directed, and because diets don't deal with the emotional factors underlying eating issues. More importantly, diets confirm our belief that we are not OK as we are. If we focus our unhappiness on our bodily "flaws" - including our weight if it doesn't meet the current cultural standard - we may use dieting as a way to feel better about ourselves. Unfortunately we only feel good about ourselves when the numbers or the scale go down. When they don't, we are plunged into self-loathing.
A diet mentality says there are good and bad foods defined by their calories, fat, or sugar content. Therefore, we are "bad" if we've eaten any of these foods and we either berate ourselves for this slip of willpower or try to make up for it by exercising or restricting ourselves the next day. In this mindset the purpose of exercise is to lose weight. Period.
A conscious, intuitive relationship with food tells us that we deserve to enjoy eating without guilt. We eat exactly what we want, enjoy it fully, and stop when we are satisfied knowing that we can have it again whenever we want it. We exercise not primarily to lose weight but because it makes us feel better physically, emotionally and mentally.

Today a plane took off from Blagnac, France with a crew of six for a four hour flight. This flight is historic as it was the maiden flight of the Airbus A380. This is the largest passenger liner to ever fly. It is 308 tons of state of the art aircraft that was ten years in the making.
The four engine plane had 22 tons of test equipment aboard to record every possible aspect of the flight. The A380 has two decks that run the length of the fuselage. It will seat over 500 people and some plans for versions with gyms and casinos.
Airbus A380
The behemoth comes with a corresponding price tag, an estimated $282,000,000.00 each. The new jet also requires that existing runways will have to be extended and strengthened, baggage handling systems will have to be redesigned to fit to the aircraft and some jet ways will have to be replaced. There will be special tools, and equipment needed to maintain it, mechanics will have to get special training on that bird. The cost of operating this aircraft will be enormous. One has to ask if it is wise, in an era where only one airline (South West) is posting profits, to buy such an expensive aircraft is wise.
Packing more people on one plane and making few flights will make the per flight cost go up, but how long will it take to offset the cost of tooling up to operate it?
One more criticism of the A380 is that when, and it is only a matter of time, one crashes, it will be called a tragedy and give the media another thing to fixate on because there will be 500 victims. We will be able to see floating debris or smoking ruins while we eat our eggs, before the bubble headed host then switches to promoting the next book.
All that being said, man that is one sweet bird. It is a marvel of technology and has been tested more than any other airliner in the world through wind tunnels and computer simulations. It took ten years to make this plane fly and it should be one of the safest ever built. The fact that they can in crease the payload (passengers) will make the long range hauls cheaper and more cost effective. Today's fuel prices make this a necessity and it will be a wise move for any airline that can afford it. It will also reduce the emissions and pollutants as there will only be four engines instead of 8 (two planes) making the same trip.
In conclusion, there are a lot of positive benefits of such a large plane. Let us just hope that they are purchased and used responsibly by the struggling airline industry. As long as dedicated and talented men and women keep dreaming, we will always continue to set new records for the next generation to try and break. Aviation history reached a milestone with this plane today and we can only dream of the ones yet to come.

Inflation is commonly understood as prices going up. Price increases, however, are only the result of inflation. Actual inflation happens when the value of a currency, in this case the US dollar, goes down. Meaning it will now take more dollars to buy the same quantity of a given product. Economists describe this process as more dollars chasing fewer goods and services. It is important to understand that the innate value of a particular good or service does not change in an inflationary occurrence, only the amount of paper dollars needed to acquire them. Consider the following example:
While shopping with her dad Jill found an old 1942 silver dime. In 1942 a loaf of bread cost $.09 (or 9/10 of a dime). Today, however, a loaf of bread costs around $2.50. That's a difference of $2.41 or 28x more than in 1942. It's interesting to note that with silver currently trading at $36.65 per once that 1942 dime that Jill found has $2.62 worth of silver in it. If you take 9/10 of that $2.62 (the amount of "dime" needed to purchase a loaf of bread in 1942) you wind up with $2.36, exactly what you'd need to purchase a loaf of bread today. What this illustrates is that 64 years later it still takes the same amount of silver to buy the same amount of bread. The only thing that has changed is the amount of dollars needed to make the same purchase.
Bread is not the only item affected by a devaluing dollar. Consider also John. John invested $6500 into the stock market in March of 2001 when the market average was 10,300. In March of 2011 when the market average was 12,086, he sold his stock for a gain of $962. In addition to his positive investment return, John's yearly income was increased by 19.2% to $52,335 per year.
On the surface a 14.8% investment gain and a $10,000 raise appears to be a step in the right direction. However, a positive return on investments and increase in income are not necessarily accurate indicators of an increased ability to purchase goods and services. In March of 2001 gasoline cost $1.46 per gallon. Today a gallon of gasoline cost $3.52. That's an increase of 58.5%. During that same 10 year period the price of a bushel of wheat went from $3.55 to $8.55, also an increase of 58.5%.
Oil and wheat are just two of the many commodities that are priced in U.S. dollars. As the value of the U.S. dollar continues to decline, the number of dollars needed to purchase these commodities will conversely continue to rise. That means that even though John increased his investments by 14.8% and his yearly income by 19.3% over a ten year period, the value of the dollars he's acquired in 2011 are worth 58.5% less when it comes to filling his gas tank and buying a loaf of bread. Put another way, even though John has 17.05% more money than he had 10 years ago, it is going to be 41.5% harder for him to purchase the things he needs. This is the destructive nature of inflation.
These concepts are very clearly illustrated in, "The Kingdom of Moltz", a graphic novel dealing with inflation. It is a must watch for understanding how our money system works and where inflation comes from.
"By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."

As a note, both Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke* and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner** subscribe to Keynesian economic theory.

Most obvious game announcement ever. Didn't we all hypothesize this the day we saw the Wii controller?
Make sure you read to the end of this story that is destined to be the next Lifetime Channel movie (which means it must have a two part name like "Betrayal Of Lust: The Anne Summer Story").It starts just like any other internet-predator tell all, but gets a lot better (or worse, depending on your stance) as it goes on.
Just when you thought that the whole "block" style puzzle game had been done to death, you get this quality piece of gaming: Bloxorz
It actually takes a couple of levels before you start to see the strategy involved, asthe first few are so dead easy.
It's kind of like parallel (reverse) parking a tractor trailer. Concept is simple, but getting the parts into the right position right before the end is all important. And when you have a great concept, it doesn't hurt if your presentation, graphics and subtle sound effect are all top notch.

Whenever I speak, I cry outSo he's stuck in a job he can't quit.
proclaiming violence and destruction.
So the word of the Lord has brought me
insult and reproach all day long
But if I say, "I will not mention him
or speak any more in his name,"
his word is in my heart like a fire,
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed, I cannot.Jeremiah 20.8-9
Have you ever felt like that? You know you're supposed to tell somebody something, but you don't want to do it? I hate that!
So why do it?
For one thing, like Jeremiah, we experience the irresistible call of God. (Balaam's donkey also experienced the call, but she didn't try to resist it as Jeremiah did.)
For another, as the rational part of me knows, it's a Bad Idea to refuse God because disobedience, especially willful disobedience, cuts off fellowship with God and makes it hard to understand what he's up to.
So what do we do? Well, as they say in Japan, "shikata nai" or "it can't be helped."
Maybe one day I'll be mature enough, and trust God enough, that I'll just obey immediately with joy. But for now I still resist, get beaten down, do it with gritted teeth.
And afterwards ask myself, "Why did I make this so hard?"

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, they say. How strong is your software development chain?
Is your software development team following best practices? Are your trade secrets easy to steal? Are you infringing any patents or copyrights? Will end users find your application too complicated? Will your infrastructure stand up to future expansion and load? Can your vendors and consultants claim any rights to your source code? Are your back end systems vulnerable to attacks?
Astonishingly, the answer to many of these questions is often "yes" according to Prolifogy's panel of associates—the world's foremost Ph.D. experts in software engineering. Prolifogy associates have decades of experience and insight into many of the world's most overlooked, yet most critical aspects of software development. From small startups to large publicly traded companies—no matter the industry—Prolifogy associates have repeatedly discovered that no organization is immune from the potential disasters that await companies that do not proactively search out and resolve these issues.

SEO Contest For Your Internet Business
In recent years the SEO contests are swallowing up in the se optimization world like crazy. You will find always contests working, and every time there's a reward to get, sometimes a large one, sometimes a tiny one. Nonetheless it does not matter in what match you are participating, you will allways find things that have gone improper, or could've performed better. In this short article I explain the top 10 most common mistakes in participating within an SEO contest.
The very first mistake is the fact that webmasters get therefore excited when they see a fortune, they level hyperlinks for their match page from all the pages of these previously present websites. You would have thousands of backlinks in just a few days, which may result in a sandbox penalty. You will need to remember as you are able to allways position these hyperlinks to your contest page, you're perhaps not in a hurry, are you currently?
The next mistake is that folks don't plan. You've to create yourself a system wherever you jot down what you do every day/week. Make a linkbuilding scheme, a content writing system etc. Only make sure that you do that which you tell you to ultimately do.
Create content, A lot of people take up a match website, nevertheless they overlook to create content. Initially you usually write plenty of threads, however in the long term you obtain more dedicated to backlinks. Understand that content is still king. And if you have it, and the others do not, you already have a mind start.
Quality backlinks around lousy backlinks. Plenty of people start with exploring for quick backlinks like websites and getting large pagerank links, but you can certainly do that when you need in the contest Siebtlingsgeburt. Do that half way, you've all the time! The very first thing you do in participating in a SEO match is publishing content and locating topic connected backlinks. The crappy backlinks can wait. You're perhaps not on the go!
Report submission, it's simple and actually effective, this short article is clearly written to boost my position for the pvmultimedia seo contest. If I was not participating, this article would've never been written. Numerous with report distribution is as you are able to decide what this article is about. Therefore in some way you get a grip on the onsite optimization of your backlink, so you possibly can make yourself a highly onpage improved quality backlink that relates to your contest page. You can even use the main match keyword as much as you prefer, therefore today I'll take the chance to utilize the words pvmultimedia seo contest once more if you don't brain :).
Onsite optimization, do not take action!!! Why? very simple, when you can rank you to ultimately the utmost effective without needing for instance your primary keywords in your name, you have a copy plan, specifically your onpage optimization. A couple weeks prior to the match you are able to highly optimize your web site for the key keyphrase to acquire a great boost that will get one to the most truly effective, or in the event that you currently are in the first place, you built your self a really more strong position. And onpage optimization is something you can adjust and control, offpage optimization is an element that can not be manipulated quickly. But be sure you don't overdo your onpage optimization in the end, since that can cause a penalty or even a ban.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

Good luck! You can probably shed a few in that time.ReplyDelete
you can go the weight loss route, yes. nine days and 20+ pounds is a tall order, but not impossible.ReplyDelete
OR you can sneak into doc's office and rig the scale.
OR you can slip his nurse a 20 spot and have her write your desired weight on your chart.
good luck hon!
Thank you all for your encouragement. Maria, thank you for your ideas of espionage. Slipping the nurse a $20 just might do it. LOLReplyDelete
Grannie Annie - Tall order but it can be done. If you go the Atkins route you might get close. Actually excerising is a great idea but it will just build muscle mass and muscle weighs more than fat.....Good luck and don't you dare tell your doctor about that hamburger, fries and lemon meringe pie....ReplyDelete
Oh, boy. I have no clue how you can accomplish such a feat. If I did...ReplyDelete
I'd be skinny.
I've added daily exercise to my calorie-cutting lifestyle. It consists of a nightly walk/jog with my son. My son is a torturer who takes pleasure in my misery. He helps me keep up the pace by yelling out commands at me as I struggle for breath. He should be horsewhipped.
Why are the yummiest foods the most fattening???
It's simply not fair!!!!!!
Good luck with your doctor visit.
Just tell him you've been on the hamburger, fries, and pie diet.
My dear, encouraging blog friends, I have five days left and I have already lost One (1) (Uno) pound. Four days of blood sweat and tears and I think I have done what Lucy warned me about, muscle mass. But, one pound is one pound and hopefull by Monday it will be 23 more pounds. LOL Ah heck, my cardiologist will get over it.ReplyDelete

I'm not sure the year this picture was taken.
I am thinking
that I look like I might be around 2 years old.
If so,
then this picture was taken in 1953.
It truly makes me smile.
Mom is smiling,
Dad is either ready to grin,
or trying not to,
Lee looks like he is ready to be ornery
and I look like
I have no idea what is going on.
Something else beings a smile to my face
in a wistful sort of way.
The chair Dad is sitting in belonged to'
Grandpa Winegardner.
(Mom's Dad.)
He had been sick when Lee was born
but did live long enough to see his grandson.
That same chair sits in my living room today.
Lee will be 64 this coming December.
That makes this chair at least 65 . . .
but I know it is lots older than that.
Mom said that this had been Grandpa's favorite chair
leading me to believe he had owned it
for many years before Lee was born.
So I smile at the fact this is a family picture
that I still possess.
I smile because I still have Grandpa's chair.
I smile because the memories of
the room we were in
(our living room on Ottawa Street)
is still fresh in my memory . . .
Like I just left it yesterday . . .
Not 38 years ago.

For the exercises of strength and skill, for the achievements and for the enchantments of wit, of eloquence, or art, of genius, for the imperial games of politics and war--let us seek them on the shores of Greece. But if the first among the problems of life be how to establish the peace, and restore the balance, of our inward being; if the highest of all conditions in the existence of the creature be his aspect towards the God to whom he owes his being and in whose great hand he stands; then let us make our search elsewhere. All the wonders of the Greek civilization heaped together are less wonderful, than is the single Book of Psalms.
-- William Gladstone, "Place of Ancient Greece in the Providential Order", Gleanings of Past Years, 1879

Last week we found a Toddler bed on Craigslist and decided to go for it. Noa's definitely not ready for it yet, but it was a good deal and it will allow me to start working on the bedding before Ruthie comes. In the meantime though, we might as well have bought a jungle jim for her - she climbs all over that thing all day long. In. Out. In. Out. Giggle. Fall. Cry. Giggle. In. Out. In. Out... Our days go something like that. I just hope we can get her to sleep in it when it's actually time to!
By the way... What the heck is going on with her hair lately? Our little raggamuffin...
We had the opportunity earlier this week to go to Litchfield (about 2 hours north of Charleston) for a day and a half conference. Matt, Chris, and Russ went to the conference all day and Ashley, Shelley, and myself stayed with our kids in a 3 bedroom condo. It was so nice to have some time together even though a lot of it was craziness with the kids. We hung out by the pool a little bit, talked and laughed a lot, and tried our best to organize everyone's naps so our kid wouldn't wake another kid up. Seems like we could never quite get that down, but it was still worth it - especially when the kids were down for the night and we could finally have some grown-up time! Anyway... it was fun and we should definitely do it again!
Tub time for Lilly and Noa
Here's the difference between being in the 10th percentile (Lilly), and being in the 97th percentile (ah-hem... Noa). :)
Noa and Eli sharing an afternoon snack. Yummy watermelon! Noa's hair's struggling again... greased down from sunscreen. Oh well... she's still the cutest girl I've ever seen!

Books without words
Sometimes we express our preferences by addition. We add decorative covers to our cell phones, vinyl decals to our car windows, and just the right amount of cream and sugar to our coffees.
More and more often, however, we also express our preferences through subtraction. We ask the fast-food worker to skip the onions, ask for our lattes to be made with non-fat milk, and opt out of receiving marketing e-mails from the websites we visit. After a marathon reading session with a young niece or nephew, some of us may even come to prefer our children's books without words.
A wordless children's book may seem rather strange at first. Children's books generally encourage children to learn to read, and a wordless book might seem to be at odds with that goal. In fact, the opposite is true.
These books are entertaining, and serve as an excellent way to help develop visual literacy skills. Without the text to describe the action, readers must interpret for themselves what has happened between pages. Creative readers can even tell their own story based on the actions shown in the pictures. As an added bonus, wordless children's books can be enjoyed by children regardless of the languages they understand. The Grande Prairie Public Library has many excellent wordless children's books, and I'd like to recommend a few of them.
The Boy and the Airplane, by Mark Pett, is the story of a boy playing with a small red airplane he receives as a gift. He runs with the plane, runs around the plane, and ultimately lands it on the roof of a nearby house. When his initial attempts to retrieve the plane all fail, he is forced to come up with a long-term plan instead.
In his book, Chalk, Bill Thomson tells a story about children whose chalk drawings come to life. One girl draws the sun, and the rainy day around her instantly becomes sunny. Another girl draws butterflies, and then a swarm of monarch butterflies appear. The children have fun watching their drawings come to life until a boy draws a dinosaur.
Where's Walrus, by Stephen Savage, is about a walrus that has escaped from the zoo. On every page, the walrus picks a new hiding place to avoid being captured by the zookeeper. The illustrations are unique, and children will laugh at the various attempts the walrus makes to disguise itself.
The Umbrella, by Ingrid and Dieter Schubert offers an improbable (though fun) story about a small dog who grabs onto an umbrella during a storm. A gust of wind whisks the dog and the umbrella into the air and starts the two on a trip around the world. During their travels, the dog and umbrella face down alligators, slide down a snowy hill in the Arctic, and are even assisted by friendly elephants.
Elisha Cooper's nearly-wordless book, Beaver is Lost, is about a beaver floating on a log when it is loaded onto a logging truck. When the truck is driven into a town, the beaver hops off the truck and starts traveling home. Along the way, the beaver avoids an inflatable alligator in a backyard pool, visits beavers at a zoo, and even walks through a crowd on a busy sidewalk on the way home.
The final book I'd like to mention today does have words. However, it is missing something more integral to the book – the title character. Garfield Minus Garfield was adapted from Garfield comic strips by Jim Walsh. This collection, based on Walsh's popular website, shows what the comic strip Garfield is like without its star. Garfield and his thoughts have been removed entirely from this selection of strips. The resulting comics are bizarre and weirdly entertaining, as Jon and other characters talk to themselves and have strange reactions to nothing.
So the next time you're in the library, I encourage you to try a wordless children's book. There is far more to them than words can explain.
Encana presents Panadream Theatre at the Library: On Saturday, Panadream Theatre will visit the Grande Prairie Public Library courtesy of Encana. Panadream will perform Bizarre Bazaar, their newest show, from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. for children ages 2 to 10 and their parents. The show will be followed by two puppet workshops at 11:30 a.m and 2 p.m. for children ages 5 to 12. Children must register for the puppet workshops. For more information, please visit the library's website at www.gppl.ab.ca.

Depressive Symptoms among Adolescent Girls in Relationships with Older Partners: Causes and Lasting Effects?
Loftus, Jeni; Kelly, Brian C.; Mustillo, Sarah A.
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v40 n7 p800-813 Jul 2011
Previous research on adolescent girls in relationships with older partners suggests a range of negative outcomes for the adolescent. Using three waves of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health and a life course perspective, we explore the connection between involvement in age discordant relationships (girls dating males three or more years older) and the course of depressive symptoms among adolescent girls. Our analyses are conducted on the 1,307 girls with data at all three waves who had been in a relationship in the last 18 months. The sample is 55% White, 22% Black, 7% other race and 16% Latina. When comparing early adolescent girls (13-15) and late adolescent girls (16-18), the younger girls are no more likely to have depressive symptoms before entry into the age discordant relationship, yet have greater depressive symptoms shortly after the relationship onset and 5 years later. Older adolescent girls in age discordant relationships, however, have similar levels of depressive symptoms at any time point relative to their peers. These data suggest that a girl's developmental stage influences whether or not she experiences emotional distress as a result of being in an age discordant relationship.

The Crisis of Modernity
Modernity is not identical to the crisis of Western civilization. It is a set of ill-conceived ideas that ultimately lead to that crisis. In its heyday or golden age, modernity is bold and self-confident. The first crisis of modernity erupts when confident exuberance gives way to self-doubt. Jean-Jacques Rousseau articulates this doubt, and Strauss therefore regards him as the representative of the first crisis of modernity.

Neumann argues that universalism in ethics and religion leads to the worst attrocities, and that Conrad's novel illustrates the truth of this.Google Scholar
- 56.Heidegger believes that Greek philosophy laid the foundations for modern rootlessness, and hence for the modern crisis (SPPP, p. 33). It is true that for Strauss, philosophy transcends the roots of political society; it is an attempt to reach the universal truth about the human condition that transcends all ideologies and nationalities. This is one reason that Strauss describes the philosopher as a stranger. However, for Strauss, the danger rests not so much in philosophy itself as in the 'publication' of philosophy. Christianity is particularly instrumental in the 'publication' and hence the vulgarization of philosophy. Christianity is for Strauss, as it was for Nietzsche, Platonism for the masses because it introduces into religion, and eventually into politics, the universalistic element of philosophy — i.e. an element that transcends all particularity. But political society is particular and parochial by nature. Universalism succeeds only in perverting it, as the modern project illustrates.

The most powerful search tool to find your new home in Chuluota, Fl with this most recent up to date MLS search website. Find homes you are interested in, save them, and receive new email updates daily as soon as properties meet your specific criteria. If you need help navigating the site you are welcome to call us at anytime!
Centered on Lake Mills, Chuluota is located in the northwest corner of Seminole County and borders Oviedo. With a total population of 2,500 residents and a total area of 2.2 square miles, the population density in this small town is 1,100 per square mile. Despite its small size and remote location, Chuluota is still considered part of the Orlando-Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area. In the year 2000 the population was approximately 18% less than it now is.
The median sale for a single family home in Chuluota last year was $214,000. The area is quite rural, so if you are looking for a more quaint and quiet place to find a piece of property, this might be the place for you to begin your search. Sales were as low as $25,000 and as high as over $1.100,000 in the last year. Average property tax bill paid by each citizen was approximately $1,440.
The average household income in this area is at $42,500, which is to be expected with the lack of technical or financial positions available out in this rural area. Most work is physical labor, which generally comes from the plethora of cow and horse farms out in this area. There are also a few produce farms, which offer their goods up for sale in and around the Orlando area. If you would prefer to live out in the country and have more of your own space, quite and peace, this area would be a perfect fit. There are many individuals out in this area who work in downtown Orlando, but who would prefer to have the remote location to the hustle and bustle of downtown Orlando every day. The property sizes out here are vast and much cheaper than closer to Orlando.
Sightseeing in this area can be quite difficult, simply due to the small area that is Chuluota, however there are some places to explore and enjoy the local scenery. The Little Big Econ State Park is to the north of Chuluota and offers the best in camping, biking, canoeing and kayaking. Additionally there are a lot of great places in this area to go fishing. Lake Mills offers citizens a place to cool off during the hot and humid summer months and you will almost always see someone on a boat on the lake. Wake boarding, jet skiing and water skiing are all commonplace in this area. Finally, hunting is very prevalent in the area due to its rural location. Boar, deer and turkey are all native to this area.
The schools in this area are almost nonexistent. The only school that is actually in Chuluota, which is paid for by the town is Walker Elementary School and is rated a 9 out of 10 on greatschools.org. The rest of the children who are of age for middle and high school will find that they have to take a bus to nearby Oviedo in order to complete public schooling.
Nice house, ready for immediate occupancy

Here is what I think of java garbage collection:
In java programs, the use of pointers is forbidden by virtue of a design strategy or a security policy. Without pointers, functions cannot access objects across stack frames, among many other limitations. The inability to pass objects to and from functions will limit the scope of a programming language at large. To remedy this, in java, user defined objects are inherently passed by address (termed as reference), in contrast to C and C++ where passing arguments by their addresses is a volitional choice.
Conventionally, when arguments are passed by value, what the callee recieves is an isolated copy of the passed object. In C, when passed by address, the callee can manipulate the caller's arguments. In C++ the same applies, along with the call by reference. The user objects are normally created on the stack. In cases of producer functions where the function generates and returns an object, the allocation has to be made in the heap (locally created objects cannot be returned from a function, which causes dangling reference). Such cases are not so often, so one can free the object manually which was 'newed'. Two modes of creating user objects are:
Class obj(); => object and the handle created on the stack.
Class *obj = new Class(); => object in the heap, reference on the stack.
In java, without pointers, the language semantics does not allow the above flexibility and we have only one way to create objects – either everything on the stack or in the heap, not both. Creating all the objects on the stack is a bad choice, since objects whose life span is greater than the defining method will be destroyed when the frame is popped off while the function's return, essentially forbidding methods from returning generated objects, causing java to be an incomplete language. As a workaround, all the objects are created in the heap. Now, as a matter of fact, it is difficult for a programmer to delete all the objects he 'newed' which are quite many, rather most of them.
Hence the garbage and hence the collector.
In a non-java programming paradigm, it is like allocating memory at arbitrary heap locations, and later scanning the entire virtual memory to clean up the filth.
Garbage collection is not a java feature. It is a compromise. A consequence of refraining from pointers. A skillful attempt to mend a defect. An unchecked sun heredity and an unbridled software hypothesis which we carried and dragged all the way along.

I've Finished Reading "The Present Future"
Overall, a really great book by Reggie McNeal....
Here are the six wrong questions he says the church is asking:
- How Do We Do Church Better?
- How Do We Grow This Church?
- How Do We Turn Members Into Ministers?
- How Do We Develop Church Members?
- How Do We Plan For The Future?
- How Do We Develop Leaders For Church Work?
To give you a little taste of what you will read:
I'm talking about the church world in North America. A world that has largely forsaken its missional covenant with God to be a part of kingdom expansion. It has, instead, substituted its own charter of church as a clubhouse where religious people hang out with other people who think, dress, behave, vote, and believe like them......I believe there are many people like me in the church who, in terms of their church experience, want to script a different story from the one they are a part of now

Great place to stay for the weekend
April 2017
Beach Bliss was a great choice for us. We are two adult couples that were in town for the Carolina Cup and needed a comfortable place to stay. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable and showers had awesome water pressure. Everything in the unit is recently updated and had all we needed. The location was close enough to wrisghtsville beach we could bike ride but far enough away from the crowds and traffic. We would certainly stay again. Great wine and Tapas bar next door in walking distance. Grocery store is also right down street. Great place for a great price.

Heat Management in Hot Forming Applications
Publication Date: 2017-Jan-30
Publishing Venue
The IP.com Prior Art Database
Heat Management Method for Hot-forming Applications (Invention Disclosure 83685310)
This invention addresses two different problems associated with hot forming process (figure 1) and hot forming tooling (figure 2):
1. The effective management of heat during the forming and quenching process
2. The effective manufacture of the tooling itself to achieve the necessary heat management using heat pipes and drilled holes.
Both these problems deal with the effective management of heat.
Quenching of the part (determined by cooling rate) during hot forming is a critical step in the process. The reason for this is the fact that quenching directly affects production rates as well as the surface and dimensional quality of the part as it undergoes phase changes during the forming process. Material properties are continuously changing as the material cools and undergoes a transformation from the austenite phase into the martensite phase. Too quick of a transformation will make the part less formable and create cracks. When quenching is too slow, production rates go down!
On the other hand, the way that the material is cooled and how uniformly it is cooled dictates its dimensional integrity and can affect the final properties of the part. For example, if one area forms and cools quicker than another, that location will be harder than the second softer area. These temperature gradients cause the part to twist, causing the final part to deviate from its design intent and be dimensionally inaccurate (due to springback).
Description of Solution / Method
Hot Forming is an innovative process by which advanced ultra-high strength steel is formed into complex shapes more efficiently than with traditional cold stamping. Hot forming of parts therefore currently represents one of the most advanced lightweight solutions for the car body structure that simultaneously allows us to improve crash performance and passenger safety requirements.
Hot forming is a temperature and time-dependent process. With this method, parts are formed in their soft state at elevated temperatures and then quenched in the tool. The hot forming process consists of the steps identified in figure 1: (1) eat treatment in furnace, (2) transfer from furnace to press and drawing tool, (3) plastic hot forming (4) quenching in...

Being without work is a scary thing, especially if you have a family depending on you. The following article contains many tips that can guide you to finding employment. Use the information to fuel your search and empower your attitude. It may be a discouraging process, but eventually it will pay off for you.
Try not to make friends with your boss and co-workers. Stay professional with all employees. When you have friendly and personal relationships at work, you can introduce confilicts that are not work related into the workplace. Avoid getting too close to people and certain behavior, so you can maintain your position and integrity at your job.
When looking for work, make sure you have a LinkedIn account created and fill out your profile in full. Even if you are not "into" social media this is important. Many companies use LinkedIn as a vetting system prior to calling someone in for an interview. If you don't have a profile, you may never get that first step through the door.
When you graduate college, put the pedal to the metal and apply for jobs as soon as you can. It is very tempting to sit back and wait a few months or years before you get yourself going. Taking the initiative immediately will put you ahead of everyone who is sitting back and doing nothing.
Prepare yourself before job interviews. You should of course find an outfit that matches the job you are interviewing for and bring a copy of your resume. Put together a list of questions you want to ask during the interview and do not hesitate to bring additional documents related to your previous experiences or education.
Call your local colleges and universities and inquire about what sort of free job assistance they provide. They may have a job board listing local opportunities, resume writing help or even positions within the college they need to fill. They'll often have a variety of services for the benefit of students which they'll share with you.
You should try using a good employment agency. They will do much of the detail work involved in finding you a job and at no cost to you. They will look at your skills and use them to help you find a job. Be sure your resume is always under consideration by checking on it frequently.
Google yourself to see what type of information comes up for potential employers when they search. If you see something that looks like it could be damaging to you, do everything you can to have it removed. Whether you believe it or not, many employers use Google searches to weed out people they don't want to hire.
When submitting a resume to a potential employer, always submit a full resume. A tactic used by many people to cover up negative areas of employment is to write the cover letter in lieu of an actual resume. Most human resource professionals have seen this and will red flag any potential job seeker immediately. If you are doing this and wondering why you are not getting any interviews, this is probably the reason.
The vibe you present makes a big impression. Remain positive and try to smile a lot. The impression that you leave with the interviewer will most likely make the difference between hiring you or someone else.
Try doing some volunteer work in your desired field. This type of knowledge-seeking is often overlooked, but it can both make you feel good and help you acquire important industry knowledge first-hand. It also provides you with a great opportunity to network with other professionals. Prospective employers tend to look favorably upon volunteer work listed on your resume, as well.
Remember that a job interview allows both, you and the interviewer to get to know each other. View the interview as an opportunity to see whether you would like to work for this company instead of worrying about whether the interviewer will want to hire you. This new perspective will help you relax so that you can perform your best during the interview.
Many people are experiencing the frightening facts of unemployment lately: bills piling up, benefits running out and no obvious light at the end of the tunnel. You've got to keep at it until you succeed and hopefully the tips from this article will help you. Use them to persevere and finally land that job!

See Those Fingers, Do the Math or Language?
"Scientists have been interested for years in the observation that ratios of finger lengths differ in men and women. In men, the ring (fourth) finger is usually longer than the index (second); their so-called 2D:4D ratio is lower than 1. In females, the two fingers are more likely to be the same length. Because of this sex difference, some scientists believe that a low ratio could be a marker for higher prenatal testosterone levels, although it's not clear how the hormone might influence finger development. The 2D:4D ratio has also been fingered in connection with brain-related characteristics--most often in males--such as depression, left-handedness, musical ability, and homosexuality."
I, one boy, with the nearly 1:1 ratio. But I got nearly full marks each time on maths and am poor in language.
My wife, about 11:10, graduated from Language Colleage.
How about you?

Texas Canyonlands I: Tabletops
Tabletops and Panhandles
Loading the bike is an exercise in precision. It requires no less attention to detail, forethought and preparation than amplifying a specific DNA sequence.
One misplaced or forgotten component and it can go all wrong.
And it takes forever.
The two dry bags with tent and sleep items are easy and routine. Each item fits just so, another Just So story. It's the other 'stuff': cooking gear, food, clothes, shoes, camera, equipment, hygiene, emergency bike needs, on and on. And it varies each trip.
Since I planned to hike the canyons this trip, I needed sturdy supportive boots. Their place in this entire scheme of packing eluded me until the night I packed the side bags: one boot in each side case with loose food items in plastic bags crammed inside the feet and tops of the boots. It worked!! Even had room for my comfy sandals.
I left the house an hour late. As usual. Waiting for sunrise to top off the gas tank with gas kept at home for emergencies. Well, this wasn't really an emergency, but I couldn't justify riding 24 miles out of my way to top it off in town when I am so close to the highway.
Hefting each full side bag liner with opposing hands, I estimated the balance of weight in each and inserted them, more aptly, stuffed them into the side cases. Those too were topped off with loose items such as two books and my new journal.
The two dry bags are mounted quickly and lashed on with notorious overkill, so I was chided for in Moab. In addition to the webbing straps, a cargo net and long bungie cord strap everything in place on top of the bike. If it doesn't move when I try to wiggle it, it passes the test. A story from a fellow rider about losing his underwear and clothing in the middle of a highway made me cautious about loose bags on bikes. The last thing I need is to lose bits and pieces as I fly down the road.
Bernard was strapped to the bags under the cargo net again like Moby Whee and Captain Ahab. He's been complaining lately about this method of travel but now that he has a new buddy, I don't think he'll mind.
After checking turn signals and brake lights, I bent down to check the oil filter and found I needed to top off the oil with another ½ cup. One more trip to the toilet, although I knew I would need to go again in a few hours. I drank a pot of coffee while waiting for the lazy sun to rise and checking email.
Muttering to myself about having to wear all these layers, stuffing them into my riding pants and working up a sweat just getting the rest of the gear on, the helmet covered my head and gloves my hands: time to go. The bike's engine was warm now and I eased my layered self onto the saddle. I like to sit for a moment and look at the stars or check my zen status to be sure I'm focused.
Clutch in, toe down, clunk and roll forward. And we're off on to gallivant around the house in the grass and then onto the gravel driveway. I'm making my own cul de sac.
Traffic is light all the way west on Hwy 20, which is a relief and a pleasure. Making time at a comfortable cruising speed, I headed north on Hwy 84 just west of Sweetwater. This is my second ride on that highway and I've grown to like it. It's like putting on a comfy pair of slippers; not perfect, but it grows on you and fits fine.
Not far, I glimpse the mesas on the east and west of the highway and my favorite man-made flowers: 'wind sunflowers'. Tall white majestic wind turbines on top of the mesas bordering the west side of 84. They evoke images of stately tall flowers with their giant slender petals rolling slowly in the wind. And they make me smile. I also applaud their use as alternative energy production. An almost perfect use of an abundant resource: wind.
I rode the edges of and onto the panhandle with a new perspective and appreciation. After riding along the western escarpment of El Llano Estacado in New Mexico last September, I read about the geography and history, natural and man-related, of this southern tip of the Great Plains. This tabletop, which is a more appropriate name than 'panhandle', is the bottom tip of the High Plains, an area of the Great Plains that covers an enormous portion of this country. The western escarpment is in New Mexico, the eastern in Texas: the Caprock escarpment. And that was my destination.
But the journey revealed the land and history in between. There is more to that region than meets the eye.
To be continued…….

In the Church of England, Baptism is normally administered on Sundays at the best-attended act of pubic worship, so that the congregation may witness the newly-baptized being received into the Church (see Canon B 21).
I know we're a broad church, but I've never yet held an act of 'pubic' worship, and hopefully never will. Baptism is clearly not the only thing that would be witnessed at such an event, but I'm not even going to go there. If the devil does live in Church House, then I think I've just found him in the spellchecker.
(For the record, when couples come to be married and already have children, it is a good idea to include them in the marriage service. However, if you're creative with the service itself, I'm not sure a whole extra section is needed to offer thanks for the gift of children. The prayers already cover that. It would be good to hear a bit more from Tim Sledge, quoted in the CofE main article, about how a combined marriage/baptism works. I guess at the very least it lowers the carbon footprint for clan gatherings - 1 instead of 2.)

The Raising Sand collaboration of Alison Krauss and Robert Plant was released in October of 2007. I may be a few months late to the party, but it is surely a party worth attending. Krauss, born in Decatur, Illinois and raised in Champaign, Illinois, is a performer of bluegrass music with the band Union Station. Plant, of course, was with Led Zeppelin. Krauss is 36 and Plant is 59. The cd went platinum a little over three weeks ago on March 4.
The cd is unique, even eclectic, yet very welcoming. The style is different in a good way. Plant uses his vocals in good harmony with Krauss, which admittedly surprised me. T-Bone Burnett produced the cd. He is usually associated with class acts who have much underlying, often hidden talent. He brings that talent to the fore. These performers have shown talent in the past, but this cd brings out a different set of skills for them I think.
The All Music Guide gave the cd 4 stars; Billboard 4 stars; Blender 4 stars; Entertainment Weekly A-; MOJO 5 stars; Rolling Stone 3.5 stars (hey it's not Bob Dylan after all); Uncut 5 stars; and Barnes and Noble 4 stars (based on 28 reader reviews). As of today, March 29, Barnes and Noble rates it's sales rank as #8.
Gene Clark, formerly of the Byrds, wrote two of the songs, "Polly Come Home" and "Through the Morning, Through the Night." Clark died in 1991 from a bleeding ulcer at the age of 46.
Phil and Don Everly wrote the song "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)." Plant, along with Jimmy Page, Charlie Jones and Michael Lee wrote "Please Read the Letter." Mel Tillis wrote the song, "Stick With Me, Baby." There are also songs written by Tom Waits with Kathleen Breenan and by Townes Van Zandt.
Here's a link to the Raising Sand website: http://www.robertplantalisonkrauss.com/site.php .
This link is to the wikipedia entry for the cd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_Sand. Krauss has a couple of her performances on the "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" film soundtrack. Her wikipedia entry has some samples of her music: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Krauss and her website is here: http://www.alisonkrauss.com/site.php. Plant's wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Plant and his homepage: http://www.robertplant.com/ .
It's nice to find a cd that's not pretentious, where the performer's talent shines through, and the music has a lot of repeatability where one doesn't get tired of hearing it after just a few plays. I used to take chances on many recordings that I knew nothing about when I was younger and found many great performances. This was a chance similar to those of old and was well rewarded.
