White House
Who can defeat Donald Trump? Wary Republicans scan the Democratic field
As top GOP leaders prepared for a Republican National Committee meeting in California, Sen. Amy Klobuchar was in Iowa, the latest Democrat to fuel speculation about a 2020 presidential bid.
The early Democratic jockeying to take on President Donald Trump has not gone unnoticed on the other side of the aisle — and Republicans concede there are quite a few potentially formidable contenders.
In interviews with two dozen GOP operatives, strategists and officials around the country, Republicans placed the most credible Democratic candidates into categories: the rising congressional stars (Kamala Harris) and the pure political outsiders (Mark Cuban), the fiery progressives (Elizabeth Warren) and the pragmatic moderates (John Hickenlooper).
And of course, there's Joe Biden.
Republicans stressed it is far too soon too pick a front-runner, much less worry about how that person might pick apart Trump. Plenty of Republicans interviewed couldn't offer a name — just a type of candidate — noting that Democrats are at war with themselves over the direction of their party and will have an intense primary process.
And at the RNC, there was already discussion of Trump's re-election. At a closed-door lunch at an oceanside resort here, Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump enthusiastically noted her involvement with the 2020 effort in a short speech that was well-received, according to attendees.
With those caveats, here is how Republicans are handicapping their rivals' possible 2020 contenders.
The Senate stars
In the leadup to 2016, a host of Republicans used the Senate as a platform to build national brands that eventually launched presidential campaigns. Republicans recognize that the same could be true for Democrats this time around. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Harris of California, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Klobuchar of Minnesota all are drawing attention, even as many of them insist they aren't interested in running.
In interviews with RNC members in California and with Republican operatives across the country, Booker — a social media-savvy former mayor of Newark — and Harris, a former California attorney general, generated the most buzz.
"He's young, charismatic, and he's a smart guy," Glenn McCall, the Republican national committeeman from South Carolina, said of Booker — though he added that he expects the American people to "reward" Trump with re-election.
A GOP state chair agreed, saying Booker "might be able to reassemble the Obama coalition." Both he and Harris are people of color.
"Cory Booker is perceived as a moderate," added Vincent Harris, a Republican operative. "He is well-liked, has the 'want to get a beer with you' appeal and as someone who sat next to him accidentally at a concert this year, he is charming and easy to talk to!"
Harris, the freshman senator from California, is already making a name for herself on Capitol Hill as a progressive and a sharp Trump critic.
"I'd say the most intriguing potential candidates for the 2020 Democratic nomination are the ones who aren't has-beens or retreads," said GOP strategist Ryan Williams, who served as a longtime aide to 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney. "People like Kamala Harris and I guess Cory Booker, who are somewhat new faces in the party."
On the other side of Capitol Hill, there is Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts.
"Generational change, decorated combat veteran, smart, good on TV, good command presence," said Steve Schmidt, who guided Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.
The outsider wild cards
Trump shattered long-standing expectations for the kind of governing credentials a presidential hopeful should have. If the outsider mood that put him in the White House prevails, that could open the door for a number of prominent public figures who also lack traditional political experience, Republicans say, even though replicating Trump's path would be a long shot.
"If I were a Democrat, I'd try to go for someone like a Mark Cuban or Mark Zuckerberg that has outsider appeal and could compete with Trump," said Saul Anuzis, a former Michigan Republican Party chairman. "If you could find somebody who's viewed as a true outsider, that would shake things up."
Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, has generated speculation about his political plans for the last several months, after announcing intentions to visit and meet with people from all 50 states. Recent stops have included Ohio and Michigan — two Rust Belt swing states that helped hand Trump the presidency.
A number of Republicans also pointed to Cuban, the billionaire businessman, television personality and owner of the Dallas Mavericks who is often a vocal Trump opponent.
"I know a lot of Republicans who would be interested in helping him," said Amanda Carpenter, a former communications director for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. "He's conservative on economic issues without all the ideological baggage. Meaning he talks about business, taxes and regulations from a real-world perspective, not a theoretical one. Refreshing!"
Weekly Standard editor-at-large Bill Kristol suggested someone like Sally Yates, the former acting attorney general who was fired by the Trump administration but has been back in the spotlight recently with testimony concerning former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
"The best Democratic candidate might be someone with experience but relatively apolitical, apparently centrist and tough yet personable," Kristol said.
The populist progressives
Republicans acknowledge that the liberal Democratic base is energized right now, and prominent progressives such as Sens. Warren, D-Mass, and Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, have name recognition and are enormously popular with an activist class that would be happy to see either of them run.
But Republicans also argue that those two lawmakers are so polarizing that they would push even Trump-skeptical moderates back to his corner in a general-election scenario. Someone else from that wing of the party, however, could be competitive.
"Amy Klobuchar," said Rick Tyler, a conservative strategist and commentator. "An underestimated, talented Midwestern woman who appeals to the Elizabeth Warren-Bernie Sanders progressive base but (is) much more likable."
Former Vice President Joe Biden
On a recent trip to New Hampshire, Biden insisted, "Guys, I'm not running." But some Republicans think that at this juncture, Biden is among the strongest potential candidates the Democrats could field. In part, that's because plenty of Republicans don't think the Democrats have a strong, primed bench, but it's also in part because Biden is well-respected.
"He is universally well-liked by Democrats," said Miami-based GOP strategist Ana Navarro. "There is some buyer's remorse that he didn't do it in 2016. He's no spring chicken, but hell, neither is Trump, and Joe keeps himself in good shape. All those other Democratic names popping up feel like a litter of new-born puppies next to Joe."
Agreed Alex Conant, who served as Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio's communications director on his presidential campaign: "The only name that concerns me at all is Joe Biden. He is the only potential candidate that can unite Obama's liberal coalition with the working-class swing voters that voted for Trump in 2016."
The accomplished moderates
A centrist, pro-business, experienced lawmaker could make for an impressive opponent should he or she survive a Democratic primary, Republicans say, especially if there's an appetite for a strong contrast with the bombastic Trump. Republicans awarded bonus points to governors, who would have some distance from Washington.
"The candidate who I think makes a ton of sense for the Dems is still from Trump's generation but is a likable Western (governor), and that is Gov. Hickenlooper" of Colorado, said Rob Stutzman, a California-based GOP strategist.
Carpenter added that Sen. Mark Warner — a former Democratic governor of Virginia — could also fit the mold, noting, "He's got executive experience, has won in a competitive state and has a very important position on the Senate Intelligence Committee that will give him the ability to speak intelligently about cybersecurity issues threatening American institutions."
Several Republicans said that even if a more centrist candidate wouldn't light up the left the way a Warren or Sanders-esque contender would, the base would likely still turn out — based on today's political conditions — to try to topple Trump. Someone with crossover appeal, then, would be stronger.
"The left will coalesce behind whoever is the nominee in order to defeat Trump," predicted one GOP strategist working on 2018 midterm races. "The moderate governor type, the former chief executive type, in my view, is dangerous, because they'll be able to sway independents."
Several Republicans also nodded to New Yorkers such as Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Gillibrand, who are hardly conservative Democrats but still have some appeal to the center.
"Cuomo is a powerful governor from one of the most influential states and can maximize media coverage in the leadup to a run," said Jason Roe, a GOP strategist in attendance at the RNC, who also called Gillibrand "very savvy and telegenic." "And being from New York, both will be able to raise truckloads of money."
Of course, some Republicans note, the eventual Democratic nominee will be much more competitive if Trump and Republican-controlled Washington don't fulfill core promises from the 2016 campaign.
"What scares me is if Republicans don't fulfill their campaign promises, not just on health care issues but on a lot of issues that we campaigned on," said Kelly Arnold, the chairman of the Kansas GOP, who is hopeful his party will in fact deliver. "That's the part that scares me most, not a candidate."

Here was a man eighty-five years old! And he is asking for a mountain!
– The Bumps Are What You Climb On: Encouragement for Difficult Days, Warren W. Wiersbe, Kindle Edition, page 148
Call of God
It is easier to serve or work for God without a vision and without a call, because then you are not bothered by what He requires. Common sense, covered with a layer of Christian emotion, becomes your guide. You may be more prosperous and successful from the world's perspective, and you will have more leisure time, if you never acknowledge the call of God. But once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ, the memory of what God asks of you will always be there to prod you on to do His will. You will no longer be able to work for Him on the basis of common sense. (Editor's Note: Scripture context – Acts 20:24, Paul's call to share the Gospel)
– My Utmost for His Highest- Updated Edition, Oswald Chambers, March 4
…the very ability to change is a golden treasure, a gift from God of such fabulous worth as to call for constant thanksgiving. For human beings the whole possibility of redemption lies in their ability to change.
– Knowledge Of The Holy, A.W. Tozer, Page 36
Character implies that the inside (the real us) and the outside (how we act and appear) agree.
– The 21 Toughest Questions Your Kids Will Ask About Christianity, Alex McFarland, page 53
It is relatively easy to do the right thing, the demanding thing, when all is going well, but the real measure of a person's character is his behavior when things are going badly.
– Overcoming Life's Disappointments, Harold S. Kushner, page 22
The strength of a man is in proportion to the feelings which he curbs and subdues, and not which subdue him. The man who receives a flagrant insult, and answers quietly; the man who bears a hopeless daily trial, and remains silent; the man who with strong passions remains chaste, or with a quick sense of injustice can refrain himself and remain calm—these are strong men…
– John The Baptist, F. B. Meyer, page 21
"Ah," the Master seems to say, "Heaven judges, not by a passing mood, but by the general tenor and trend of a man's life; not by the expression of a doubt, caused by accidents which may be explained, but by the soul of man within him, which is as much deeper than the emotions as the heart of the ocean is deeper than the cloud-shadows which hurry across its surface."
– John the Baptist, F. B. Meyer, page 93
A checklist is useful for three reasons:
First, it helps people take action. With a list, there's a plan, and a plan focuses people on doing, not deciding to do.
Second, the existence of a checklist shows that you respect people's time and communicates that you know how to get things done. In short, it means you've got your act together. In a world of incompetent time wasters, people who have their act together are enchanting.
Finally, a checklist motivates people because it enables them to see the progress they are making and feel a sense of accomplishment. The sense of accomplishment encourages the, to do even more.
–Enchantment, Guy Kawasaki, Pages 52-53
People may think that as long as they haven't made a choice, they haven't made a mistake. Once they make a choice, they're either right or wrong. The fear of finding out can make people reluctant to make a choice – although not making a choice is a choice by itself.
–Enchantment, Guy Kawasaki, Pages 71-72
The tragedy of many lives is that we make the most fateful decisions with little or no awareness that our choice will change the shape and direction of our existence.
–The Art of Living Consciously, Nathaniel Branden, Page 79
Given the thin line between success and failure, knowing that what works in one circumstance might be disastrous in another, what do such operations have to teach us? It's certainly not that daring military action is or isn't the better course; it's that daring thinking about one's options is always the better course.
History hinges on successes and failures. But reaching for the former to avoid the latter does not depend on our capacity to hope. It depends on our capacity to think clearly, but to choose wisely, and ultimately to make the moral choice—even in the face of danger.
–No Room for Small Dreams, Shimon Peres, Pages 143-144
Christianity is about the way we behave, not just the way we think.
–If I Had Lunch with C. S. Lewis, Alister McGrath, Page 97
Men are mirrors, or 'carriers' of Christ to other men.
–Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis, Page 190
How the church sees itself will determine what the church does and the way it does it. If we see the church only as an army, then our ministry will become aggressively militant. If we see only the image of the body, then we might become "ingrown" as we seek to discover our gifts and minster to each other. An overemphasis on the image of the bride could make us mystical and so wrapped in devotion that we forget duty. If we are only priests, then worship becomes the most important thing. If we are only witnesses, then proclamation takes the forefront.
As we minister the Word of God, we must maintain a balanced view of the church.
–Preaching and Teaching with Imagination, Warren W. Wiersbe, Page 192
The true Church is left here, not to perfume the dung heap of a fallen humanity, but to save as many individuals out of the wreck as is possible before the final destructive crash comes.
–The Invisible War, Donald Grey Barnhouse, Page 228
Trust me, churches to keep you always busy are predisposed to erosion. Join this program…enroll in this study…go on this trip…come to this concert…teach this class…serve here…meet there…be hardworking… stay productive…count those heads…keep busy! Sadly, many of those same churches fail to encourage personal reflection, growth, and analysis. Their focus? The bottom line. Busyness equates to success.
–The Church Awakening, Charles R. Swindoll, Page 229
Contentment with simple things in a world obsessed with materialism is a condition that is achieved only by giving diligent attention to scriptural teachings and prayer. Nor is it a permanent condition once it is realized. Continuing cultivation is necessary. Not unlike a vegetable garden.
–Devotions for Gardeners, Jean Shaw, Page 63

New year is best opportunity to leave the past behind and mover forward. This year is going to give me a chance to start fresh with a renewed sense. While making new resolution and writing this I have decided to ensure that the resolution, am making, should be realistic and achievable.
This year, I will be slightly less useless, more productive. I am making this resolution that I hope I will bring change in my people's life for the better and will contribute to increase the level of protection of vulnerable communities, excluded people and group and work for the better protection of human rights particularly women, LGBT, and citizens of different faith.
-Will help my family to further improve farming and modernize PALH AGRICULTURAL FARM.
-Will teach International Criminal Law, Law of Evidence, and Constitutional Law.
-Will complete task on minority and refugee rights manuals
– Will Conduct trainings on judges, police, lawyers, NGOs and youth on human rights and gender.
– Will focus on five already adopted five schools of UC Pak Singhar and increase five more for better education for both girls and boys.
– This year will spend more time with my family, and children (nieces and nephews) and friends.
This year, will not tell everything to everyone and maintain more mystery and focus more on health and rest.
I know it is fun to make resolution but it is difficult to maintain. But 2014 has proved that my resolution was accomplished and difficult task were dealt by me with dare and discipline. I earned respect in teaching and practice and got lot of new friends and family members.
I am sure new year will bring gender equality, the best protection of human rights, high level protection of citizens of different faiths, orientations ideologies and offer more opportunities for us and all international citizens. I also hope this year will also be proved good for my all brother and sisters who are in exile, seeking asylum on genuine grounds, seeing refuge from threats, and those who are stateless. I also pray for safe, secure, peaceful Pakistan and globe which is more sustainable, developed and just.
I am sure year 2015 will end corruption and immunity.
Happy New Year to ALL.

Avon Impulse, $6.99, ISBN 978-0-06-241295-9
Historical Romance, 2016
I had a good feeling when I read Charis Michaels's debut title for Avon Impulse, and the second book in the The Bachelor Lords of London series, The Virgin and the Viscount only cements my belief that it's time I sign up for the author's fan club. The author's narrative has a lovely, descriptive kind of grace to it, somewhat akin to the works by Loretta Chase and Julie Anne Long. The author also makes the extra effort to give the characters a bit more depth, all the better for believable emotional drama to add some fireworks into the story.
This one is part of a series, but it is linked to the first book only in that both books take place in the same neighborhood and they feature the same secondary characters here and there. On the whole, though, this one stands alone just fine.
Bryson Courtland, the new Viscount Rainsleigh, has both daddy and mommy issues up to the wazoo. You see, both his parents were major skanks, and the day his father died is one of the happiest days of his life. He had been slowly dirtying his hands in trade, working from scratch until he finally has his own shipping company, and when he inherits the title, he has his own source of wealth. A good thing too, as his father certainly did his best to waste what little they had in the family coffers on whores and wine. So he did what every kid with his issues would do: he booted his mother off to Spain so that he didn't have to deal with her anymore, sold off or razed down all that he could of his father's rundown and neglected holdings, and set in motion his plans to rebuild the reputation of the title using his own hard-earned money.
A new home, a new start… but of course he needs a wife by his side. Someone has to manage the household, be a graceful hostess to the parties and soirees he will have to throw, and of course pop out his brats. He'd need a sensible woman of impeccable virtue for that role, so he sets his man of affairs to go look for one. Who has time to do that boring and time-wasting traipsing around ballrooms and rolling eyes at insipid debutantes thing, after all? He has a business to run.
Meanwhile, our heroine Lady Elisabeth Hamilton-Baythes is a lady on a mission. When she was fifteen, she became an orphan and all alone in the world, she soon fell prey to villains and found herself in a brothel, her youth and virtue auctioned off to the highest bidder. A fellow lady of the night took pity on her and switched places with her, and she ended up in the same room with a young lad who took pity on her and helped her escape. Today, a ward of her aunt, she seeks to rescue prostitutes who wanted out with the help of allies as well as hired muscles. She bumps into Bryson, or rather, he stumbles upon her when he attends a party held by her aunt.
As you can probably guess, Bryson was the guy who helped Elisabeth all those years ago. He was in the brothel only because he was dragged there by his father and uncle as part of those two men's efforts to make a man out of him, and he doesn't recognize her at all. But he finds her poise and sensible air appealing, and he also can't take his eyes off her and he likes being in her company. He doesn't hesitate in deciding that she'd make the perfect wife for him, and sets out to court her with all the determination he can muster.
On Elisabeth's part, she of course knows who he is all along. Who can forget the hero who saved her all those years ago? She even keeps a collection of news articles on him. He seems to be this upright, respectable guy who also looks like an angel, so it is very easy for her to build him up as this ideal of a knight in shining armor in her head. But she knows better than to think that she could ever have a chance at being happy with him. Nonetheless, he makes it very easy for her to believe that maybe they do have a chance after all. Maybe… if the past doesn't come up and tear them apart, that is.
No, Elisabeth doesn't play the supreme martyr here, and she doesn't throw herself off the cliff because she's not worthy of being loved. Trust me, if she's like that, I wouldn't like this story that much. While she does have concerns and some degree of guilt about her past and how this past also affected the people she cares about, she nonetheless doesn't let anyone, much less Bryson walk all over her. The last is pretty impressive considering that he is so much a hero in her eyes that she usually finds it hard to disagree with him or disappoint him. Yet, as the story progresses, she becomes more and more of a equal to Bryson, and I love how she manages to hold her own and even drive some sense into Bryson during his more mulish moments.
Bryson has issues, of course, but he's also a guy who does things rather than just mope and blame the world for his parents not hugging him more in the past. His issues drive him to do and say some pretty childish and silly things in this story, but the author builds up and develops this fellow so well that his moments of silliness feel natural and in character. He has some growing up to do, and the author approaches this very well in that she is not afraid to let the hero realize and admit that he's in the wrong when he goofs up. When Bryson grows up and realizes that he needs to get his act together, his epiphany feels genuine to me. He's a very adorable take on the standard "stiff-lipped proper noble bloke who falls for a more emotional heroine" archetype.
I also like how, even when he and Elisabeth are at the rockiest in their relationship, they still remain honest about their feelings to one another. Hence, Elisabeth knows that Bryson wants to keep life into neat and tidy compartments, and how he struggles to reconcile how much he feels for her with his exasperation at how she keeps threatening the sense of order in his life. But this doesn't mean that she has to completely change her ways for him. The author builds the happy ending around meeting a middle ground and getting over inner demons, and hence it feels real indeed.
I have to deduct one oogie, though, because the author just has to introduce one extra conflict very late in the story. The timing is such as the conflict feels rushed, and I get even more annoyed when it becomes apparent that this last minute insertion is plonked in in order to set up the story of Bryson's brother. I understand the need for sequel-baiting, but can't this one be integrated more smoothly into the story? I don't think this conflict is even necessary, as it has little bearing to the main conflict. Can't it be shunted to the epilogue instead, to be introduced as some kind of cliffhanger?
At any rate, I had a very good time reading The Virgin and the Viscount. Sure, the title is terribly childish, but the hero and the heroine come off as believable adults who fall in love in a sincere, heartfelt manner. And, of course, the author's lovely way with words and characterization only adds to the sublime reading experience.

Protect All of Your Electrical Appliances
The Average Lifespan of Modern Electrical Appliances
The lifespan of modern electrical appliances depends on the particular appliance and its make and model, but tends to average about 13 years. Longer-lasting appliances like gas and electric ranges and refrigerators can last upwards of 17 to 19 years. Individual AC units, dishwashers, microwaves, and garbage disposals are at the shorter end of the spectrum with an average of a 10-11 year lifespan.
The Top 3 Electrical Appliance Brands on the US Market
If we're going to go local, then we most assuredly are going to discuss Whirlpool and General Electric (GE), both of which are US-based corporations and both of which have recently made a big push to be smart-grid compatible. Not only does this evolutionary step crank up the available amenities for each appliance, but it also boosts energy savings through tracking usage. Whirlpool consistently tops charts for the quality of its appliances while still offering affordable options to mid-price range consumers. Bosch electrical appliances are almost always a smart purchase. Stylish and quiet, they are on the more luxurious end of brand scale. Bosch won four straight years of the Which? Award for the Best Home Appliance Brand from 2009-2013.

MARBLEHEAD — The Landing Restaurant will reopen Saturday after fast-moving sea water filled the ocean-front building, tearing the floorboards from the joists and destroying everything in its wake.
"We had three-foot waves crashing through the floor," said Robert Simonelli, general manager and partner. "The wind was howling in here. The water level just came up into the pub. I haven't seen it come up that high and I've been here 16 years."
During Thursday's winter storm, a surge combined with astronomically high tides led to record amounts of flooding across the North Shore. The Landing, which has experienced more minor coastal flooding in the past, took in feet of water.
The floors were torn up by the fearsome tide and the swell of ocean waves, allowing saltwater to spray throughout the restaurant. The floors were being replaced board by board Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, equipment and furniture, including decorative hutches for storing dishes and ruined by the incoming water, needed to be replaced along with some wind-blown ceiling tiles.
"We had the high tide and that lasted for a solid half-hour and it kept going for another hour after that," said Simonelli.
Despite the destruction, the kitchen and pub reopened Friday morning and Simonelli was encouraging customers to visit for a warm meal. Crews are working to repair the damage, and the dining room is expected to reopen Saturday.

Rucky Chuckies. Randomly grabbed this old pair of shoes. Felt like getting a different ride today. Nice and warm today. Felt the sea level lungs at mile 2. Stopped to stretch and relax. My lungs are expanding into my rib cage and pinching. Hurts. Once they settle back down, all is well. From there, I moved pretty good although I felt like I had to grab at the road instead of just floating over it today. Quad was sore from Mission Peak days prior. Haven't downhilled hard in a while and it showed. In the end, I feel like my injury has pretty much subsided for now. Its still on the mend but hopefully it won't slow me down as long as I don't ramp it up too hard. Feels a bit like normal fatigue…except I am rested.
Got my expedited passport back! Ready to travel next week. I thought the comparison from the 2 photos was rather interesting. Now and 10 years ago.
I went 8.65 miles with an elevation gain of 129 feet in 01:06:39, which is an average pace of 07:42. View my GPS data on Garmin Connect.

One of the best things about owning a Rottweiler is that you get a massive dog that is fairly mellow. Make no mistake the mellow disposition and temperament of the Rottweiler is what drives a lot of big dog fans as well as security dog fans into their furry paws.
There are really no two ways about it. You get a tremendous amount of power and stability at the same time you get a very mellow disposition.
Now, a lot of people would beg to argue with this. A lot of people would point to newspaper articles of Rottweilers going crazy, Rottweilers mauling people and just going buck wild.
Well, let's face it. In terms of statistics, smaller dog breeds actually bite more often than big dog breeds. I know. It's shocking. I know that it's kind of almost scandalous how raw this truth is.
Unfortunately, this is the kind of truth that you don't get reading the newspapers whether they are online or whether they are in black-and-white print in your very hands. Seriously. Why? There's no money in it. It's not sexy.
It's doesn't drive people crazy because a lot of times when they think about small dogs biting, they just chalk it up to the dog being insecure. Believe me if you are a small-breed dog, there's a lot to be insecure about so you tend to bark a lot. You tend to chase after people. You know, the typical small-dog stuff.
However, when big dog breeds are involved, and I'm talking about Rottweilers and German Shepherds as well as Great Danes and maybe even Pit bulls, people go crazy. This is why it's really too bad because for all the negative press, if you're just looking at raw, hard statistics, it's usually the small dogs who do majority of the biting.
Now, it's true that when small dogs bite, chances are there are no lasting injuries. Chances are it's probably not going to hurt all that much. Compare that with being bit by a Pit bull or a Rottweiler. There is no comparison.
This is why the fear factor is so pronounced. This is why a lot of people get really emotional when really big dogs get featured in newspaper headlines doing all sorts of horrific things.
So, do yourself a big favor and make sure that your Rottweilers don't get pumped up. It really is that simple. Make sure that they're not stressed out. Make sure that you watch what they eat. You also have to make sure that you provide the right amount of cultivation, nurturing and support to them. In other words, environment counts.
You can't just hang your hat on the fact that this is a fairly mellow-temperament dog breed. Genetics can only go so far. You also have to do your end of the bargain. You also have to take care of your own part of the equation.
This is why if you don't want your Rottweilers to get so crazy that they look like they've gone Kratom Crazy, you have to step up. You have to make sure that they have the right environment to operate in. Otherwise, you've really done it to yourself that there's really no other way to say it.

So,,, here I am, a week after going back to teaching, AND, after having taken 3 lessons myself, to start to rebuild my own strength and stamina. I'm hurting a bit, but it's all been worth it. I will say that my teaching has gone well. It's been energizing to reconnect with some of my clients, guiding them to their hidden strengths, and in so doing, helping me to reconnect with mine . The social aspect of just being with "my people" has been so important to my own healing. I'm finding out more, as time goes on, that this is certainly not just a physical healing, but an emotional one, as well. The clients I teach, each and every one of them, give me their own personal version of strength and healing. They don't know it, but when the hour is over, I've thought, I should be paying them!! (jeez, did I say that out loud?)
Why is it that surgeons don't tell you some of the most basic things that you might experience after surgery? They usually stick to just the physical, and even then, not in detail. My emotions have been raw!! Having surgery on my spine was VERY emotional for me! The cyst invaded an area of my body that I had worked hard to keep flexible and strong, and the surgeon's knife dissected and opened the foundation of my being, and that's an emotional experience! The fact that I"m not where I want to be physically, has called up other parts of myself that weren't required before, when I was physically stronger. My sense of who I really am, and what I'm good for, has been challenged, and I had to call into action the part of my spirit and self that was sorta, just going along for the ride, because all was well with my body. NOW, my body is calling into action the part of me that , although is strong, and well exercised in "climbing that mountain"... now needs to sustain me for a longer period of time, causing me to question what defines me as a person. I'm finding I'm more than a strong physical body. I'm finding my strength more in my mind, my spirit and my faith, than relying totally , on a body that performs to my liking.
Joseph Pilate's quote "Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness" has caused me to ask myself if that can truly be so, for this stage in my recovery. It certainly propels me forward to my goal of a supple spine and the joy of an invigorating workout without pain, but, it also challenges me to use my mind to Decide to be Happy NOW,,,,,even though I may not be at my optimal level of fitness. I truly am finding joy in the process. Today holds as much joy with a healing body, as it does with a completely healthy and functioning one. I truly am grateful for the skilled hands of my surgeon, and for a body that knows how to take over where the surgeon left off. It's quite amazing to witness, and I'm learning sooo much from it all.
Each pilates session I've had this past week, has set me back a bit, physically As basic and elementary as my lessons are with June, and they only last a half hour, I experience aching and pain the following day. On one hand, it thrills me that I'm making that physical connection and I know I'm slowly regaining my strength. On the other hand, pain can be scary, and it zaps my energy and dampens my enthusiasm and optimistic outlook. But, the fact that each time I have a lesson, I move just a little more, I stretch just a little further, and I accomplish just one more thing, and.....,,,it's all worth it!
I haven't even touched on some of the other major events that are going on in my life, on top of recovering from my surgery. They have all impacted my physical and emotional status and are worth chatting about, but I will wait for next time for that. In the mean time, as Romana always says "love all around".....

text: Pierre Jean (1754 - 1829) was a French engraver, publisher, print seller, and map maker active in Paris in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Jean entered the engraving and printing business on June 7 of 1784 when he married the daughter of Louis-Joseph Mondhare, a prominent French engraver, print seller and map publisher. Mondhare changed the name of his firm to Mondhare & Jean. Under Mondhare, for about 12 years, Jean mastered the in-and-outs of the engraving and map publishing business. Mondhare retired in 1796, leaving Jean his business and printing plates. Jean subsequently continued to publish on his own account, as Chez Jean, from the old Mondhare & Jean offices at 32 Rue Saint-Jean de Beauvais.

Birdfair 2018 is supporting the creation of Argentina's largest national park. Providing a refuge for an estimated million flamingos and shorebirds.
The Project
The project 'Mar Chiquita: a haven for Argentina's flamingos', is marking the 30th anniversary of Birdfair. Starting in 1989, Birdfair has helped raise funds, through sponsorship, exhibitor fees and entrance fees, for conservation projects suggested and managed by BirdLife International.
This year I headed over to Rutland Water Nature Reserve and spent the weekend at Birdfair, listening to the 'Plastic Debate' with Lizzie Daly, Emma Priestland, Dr Nina O'Hanlon and Rebecca Lynam, I also listened to Nick Baker on 'ReWilding' and Anneka Svenska and George Monbiot who spoke on 'Wolves Returning to the UK'. The 'ReWilding' talk helped me acknowledge you can connect with the world that surrounds us by using all our senses.
One of the highlights of the weekend was the talk on the 'State of Nature' in the evening. I had the opportunity to meet friends from social media as well as new celebrities; some of which feature above. However leading up to Birdfair I also transformed into Birdfair's Bird of the Year…
Makeup Mania
Last year Makeup Mania and I decided to have some fun combining both of our passions, makeup and ornithology, by turning me into Birdfair's headline bird, for that year's project, the Rapa Fruit Dove (if you want to see the time-lapse video of this click here). The positive reactions we received were so impressive that we decided to do it again, and so this year I became the Puna Flamingo (a.k.a. James's Flamingo).
Birdfair Additions
Whilst Birdfair continued to have its normal arrangement of marquees and exhibitors, there was something new this year. The Wild Zone made its appearance for the first time thanks to a grant from the city Toyooka in Japan. This meant that there was now something for the youngest nature lovers to do, attend and engage with. The RSPB, The Wildlife Trusts, A Focus on Nature (AFoN) and Pocket Pals gave exercises, for example, sweep netting, willow weaving and painting were accessible. Mini-talks were also on offer from TV stars like Mike Dilger and Jules Howard while authors Edward Giles and Vicky Woodgate read or performed a variety of shows.
A Focus on Nature (AFoN)
A Focus On Nature is the UK's youth nature network. Aiming to connect, support and inspire young people, aged 16-30, with an interest in nature and conservation; working with other environmental organisations to establish the youth conservation movement.
Pocket Pals
Pocket Pals aims to engage young people with wildlife with a free-to-play app. It features charismatic virtual animals based on British wildlife. Users will find these animals using mobile GPS and then learn how to identify and classify them. It's made by young people for young people, in an attempt to make wildlife cool and fun.
To find out more about this project head over to the BirdFair website or BirdLife International.

Hi there. I figured out a way to give you a bunch of easily accessible information. I'm just adding this page to my website, but you're the only ones who can see it. I've been trying to figure out exactly how Chihuly Nights work at the Biltmore Estate. This website has the details: https://www.biltmore.com/visit/plan-your-visit/hours-directions. With a regular day pass, you can be in the house until 5pm and the gardens until 8pm. That page also has info on hours for dining on the estate.
I've been looking at the Trolley Tours and the good news is that the Grove Park Inn is included on the tour. You can also split it up into two days - the second day is free. Here's their website: https://www.grayline.com/tours/asheville/hop-on-hop-off-trolley-tour-of-asheville-5849_1_12130_35/
Here's the link to make reservations for a comedy tour: https://www.lazoomtours.com/ You can book anytime you want except Wednesday evening.
The Al Fresco Wine Dinner at BimBeriBon is Wednesday at 6:30 pm.

We have great feedback from our customers, many of them return to us when they move house or if they buy another property. We also receive a large proportion of our business from referrals, when our customers recommend us to their friends and family.
"...our Kitchen has been transformed - We just Love it..."
We are absolutely delighted with our kitchen. We loved working with Jane and appreciated her expertise, advice and efforts on our behalf. Our kitchen has been completely transformed to a high standard & we just love it !
"...A Heap of choices & ready to help ..."
This is the second time I have used Kitchen Express, and both times I have been very pleased.
Rick is great to work with he has a lot of knowledge & skill to ensure everything runs well. K.E have a heap of choices and they are ready to help you pick in the store. I would recommend these guys for sure !
"...Very Professional - Their advice was Spot On ..."
Kitchen Express were great to deal with, very professional. They listened to everything we wanted in our kitchen and their advice was spot on.
"...Making something really daunting to us to turn out to be such a pleasure..."
We are thrilled with our new kitchen it looks fantastic ! I've organised & unpacked although I have not yet tested the new oven.
Top marks to your installer, electrician & plumber... they were all great to deal with.
Grateful thanks to you Mark & the team at Kitchen Express for making something really daunting to us to turn out to be such a pleasure.
Fantastic service and we will certainly spread the word !
"…I am thrilled with the end result…"
Thank you so much for your help in planning my new kitchen. I am really thrilled with the end result. I now have a brighter more user-friendly kitchen and I just love it.
Thank you again. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kitchen Express to anyone looking at new kitchens.
"…Friendly staff & efficient tradespeople …"
From choosing our kitchen with suggestions of style and functionality from Russell, to the friendly staff and efficient trades people it was a very pleasant experience. We have gained a truly special kitchen and would recommend Kitchen Express
"…I was pleasantly surprised by the quote…"
"I'm absolutely happy with my new kitchen and I've already recommended Kitchen Express to my sister. I initially thought they would be expensive but I was pleasantly surprised by the quote, nearly half what I'd been quoted elsewhere. The service has been superb, with good advice and help, excellent contact throughout and quick delivery. I'm enjoying having a lighter, brighter kitchen space that's much easier to use and looks fantastic!"
"…the level of service I received was outstanding…"
"I'd looked at a couple of suppliers but the level of service I received from Kitchen Express was outstanding, a million times better. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was just made so easy for me, from design through to installation. The price was also good; I thought they'd be dearer. The directors are all hands on, so you're dealing with the guys who run the business and it makes a real difference.
All the way through Mark was amazing to deal with, he came to measure up within 48 hours and asked every question I could think of to make sure I got what I wanted and then I went through it all on screen and made any modifications. Sefton, the installer was a real credit to them too, he worked all day and didn't stop for a break and his attention to detail was exceptional, I'm in an older place and nothing is plumb but he persevered and managed to fit the kitchen perfectly. I have already recommended Kitchen Express to work mates and if I were to renovate again or build in the future I would go straight to Kitchen Express."
"...The whole project went like clockwork ..."
We are thrilled with our new kitchen. Your redesign has created much more working & storage space. As well as looking very light, clean & stylish, it is also highly functional. The whole project went like clockwork & we were very impressed with the professionalisim of the tradespeople recommended.
"…extremely professional to deal with…"
"I didn't want a top of the range designer kitchen, I wanted something that was functional, well built and for a fair price – Kitchen Express gave me that. I'm pretty fussy and when I was in the showroom I had a look at how things had been put together and I thought the standard was pretty good. The kitchen was hellishly tricky to fit, Sefton, the installer, had no wriggle room but it came out perfectly; he managed to make a tricky job look easy! Rick was extremely professional to deal with, he was very patient and answered all of my questions and I have already recommended Kitchen Express to my neighbour."
"…the main decider for me was their level of service…"
We've used Kitchen Express three times now, previously for our two rental properties and now in our own home. The main decider for me was their level of service, I like their down to earth approach, and they're helpful and easy to deal with. The showroom's great too as you can see the different levels of kitchen on offer which all helps with the decision making and I loved the colour room, what a great idea! The installation went really well and my new kitchen is fabulous and it's a real pleasure to work in.
" ... wonderful staff, so professional ... "
Wonderful staff that really are so professional and helpful. I love my black kitchen and white alba stone benchtop and antique gold handles .... total package looks fab ! It's a joy to cook in now Thanks Olivia, Great Job !"
" ... really accommodating to all our needs ..."
"We're absolutely thrilled with our Kitchen Express kitchen. They were really accommodating to all our needs. The consultant processed an enormous amount of information in a short amount of time and when the kitchen arrived the fit was absolutely perfect. Thank you!!"
" ... quality finish was outstanding ..."
"As it was the first time we had built, the knowledge and professional advice from Kitchen Express was invaluable. The wonderful service and quality finish was outstanding and we would recommend Kitchen Express anytime, to anyone."
" ... Couldn't be happier ..."

Santa Eufemia is Ourense's second largest church, after the cathedral. Its construction began in the 17th century, although the façade, an exceptional example of the Galician Baroque, was not completed until a century later. Friar Plácido Iglesias was in charge of the design. Seeing as the row of nearby houses was so close, he came up with a concave façade that could be better appreciated. The church's interior floor plan is Latin cruciform, with three longitudinal naves. At its head is a large Baroque altar with the Cristo de la Esperanza, dating from the 18th century.

Inflated Responses in Measures of Self-Assessed Health
Access Status

Source Title
Copyright © 2015 The MIT Press
This paper focuses on the self-reported responses given to survey questions of the form In general how would you rate your health? with typical response items being on a scale ranging from poor to excellent. Usually, the overwhelming majority of responses fall in either the middle category or the one immediately to the "right" of this (in the above example, good and very good). However, based on a wide range of other medical indicators, such favourable responses appear to paint an overly rosy picture of true health. The hypothesis here is that these "middle" responses have been, in some sense, inflated. That is, for whatever reason, a significant number of responders inaccurately report into these categories. We find a significant amount of inflation into these categories. Adjusted responses to these questions could lead to significant changes in policy, and should be reflected upon when analysing and interpreting these scales.

Q. Why can't I remove users from my NILE site?
The 'Instructor' role on NILE is not able to remove students from sites. This is to ensure that tutors do not inadvertently remove active student enrollments which leads to the loss of student work.
There should be little need to remove users from a site. The small number of use cases identified so far are being reviewed. In the meantime, if you do have a legitimate reason to remove student users from your site, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com, 01604 892696 with details and it will be looked into for you.
Please also see this article on how to clean up your grade centre view if necessary: There are students in my NILE grade centre who are not on my module. How do I remove them?

Hi Guys,
I'm seriously at a loss for words here because I have done everything you suggested. I removed possible conflicting plugins. Deactivated, deleted, re installed and still SMUSH PRO does not work.
I then attempted to install it on my other website http://www.dkexpphotography.com and it worked 100% first time and the funny thing is that I use 90% of the same plugins on this site as I do on http://www.dkexpressions.co.za

Tiger passed away early this morning.
We wish to thank all of you for your very kind wishes and prayers for Tiger since yesterday. We are incredibly touched by the support and comfort.
We wish to thank Tiger's vets, Dr Agas and Dr Kee, for looking after him. We are comforted that Tiger was under the care of two very compassionate and caring vets. Dr Agas never gave up on Tiger, even though the prognosis was poor. In fact, he laid out a 5-day treatment plan and gave us hope. We are very thankful for this.
Tiger has fought so many battles in his 12 years. So bravely and resiliently too. Now, it is time to rest.
He had a serious limping problem which baffled vets when he was young, but he overcame that. He had sporotrichosis and despite his FIV+ condition, he won that battle as well. Then, came the epilepsy which lasted more than 2 years. With the epilepsy, there was the problem of constant bite wounds as well. Even though he was throwing up to 4 fits a day, he remained strong, brave and even had the energy to be mischievous. He found his own way to fight his battles. Whenever he felt weak, he would hide in the tv rack and when he felt better, he would roam all over the house and often sat with me on the sofa. His wake-up call was at 5am every morning, without fail.
Since this year's Chinese New Year, the fits actually stopped for many weeks and Tiger gained weight. He went from 3.4kg to 3.7kg! But after that, the fits came back. Still, Tiger's appetite was robust through it all. Fit or no fit, he was always the one who would make the breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper calls. In between, he even asked for snacks.
During his entire lifetime, whenever Cow and Bunny bullied him, he would just close his eyes and remain still. He won those battles as well. Every single one of them.
Tiger was the Nelson Mandela of our cat household. He advocated peace above all else. No need to fight, just remain calm and all will be well.
I will always remember the time when Tiger was concerned about an earthworm who was stranded after the rain. He kept calling me to show me the earthworm. That's our Tiger – peaceful, resilient, kind and compassionate. He never harmed any creatures, however small.
Tiger's demise happened suddenly. He went down in a matter of only two days. Before that, there were no signs at all. In a way, it was good that there was no prolonged suffering. The vet surmised that it was age more than anything else as organ failure gradually sets in from 10 years onwards. It was just time to go.
We are taking time to say our goodbyes now.
Cow, Bunny, Pole, Indy and Cleo were clearly shaken when Ming-Yi told them the news as we were bringing Tiger home from the vet this morning. They looked sad.
All of them came to say goodbye.
Tabs is upset.
Vincent also came back when we received the news this morning. Somehow, he knew.
Tiger and his baby toy, Lion.
Here are some sweet memories of Tiger…
Tiger was rescued off a field in PJ where he was found huddled against his dead mother. The rescuer brought him to us. That was in August 2006.
Tiger with Rex, one of the Sunny Kittens.
This is one of my favourite photos of Tiger and Tabs. When Tabs first came, she had no friend. Tiger looked after her.
Tiger looked after Bobby in his old age too.
Tiger and his beautiful crystal green eyes.
Run free and happily in Rainbow Bridge now, Tigerry-Too!
You have lived a wonderful life. It is now time to go to a happier place.

Plastic packaging provider, ALPLA recently acquired Boxmore Packaging (Boxmore). The company, a specialist in PET pre-forms, PET bottles and closures, is headquartered in Samrand, Johannesburg. It currently employs around 1 000 staff across nine locations. 'The African continent is an attractive growth market for us. With the purchase of Boxmore, we now also have a broad basis for entering the market in South Africa, in addition to our activities with ALPLA TABA in North Africa,' says Günther Lehner ALPLA CEO. Although all locations will be taken over by ALPLA, the management structure will remain the same.
The current board, under the leadership of Len Engelbrech Boxmore CEO, will continue to manage the existing business. Additionally, Boxmore will take on responsibility for the integration and management of the existing ALPLA SA business.
The company will further continue to operate under its existing name but as a member of the ALPLA Group.
The takeover was signed on 5 July. Implementation remains subject to the required legal and regulatory approval by the competition authorities. Contract parties have reached a confidentiality agreement regarding the financial details.


text: I don't want to get into a huge political discussion on a Friday, but I"m sure everyone is well aware of the US government shut down this week. I also don't need to get into the reasons why in great detail, but basically, the United States government can't seem to practice good life and financial skills that many first graders know. I'll use my own darling 6 year old as a prime example of why maybe first graders should be running the government. We learned lots from her in kindergarten, and now, here are some recent conversations from a first grader's point of view. Money On Tuesday morning Jim and I were discussing the government shutdown when our daughter asked a few questions. Here is that conversation. Daughter: "What is the government, Mommy?' Me: "It's the President and the people elected to run our country. They spent more money than they had and had to close up because they are broke." Daughter: "Well that's stupid.

Big investment for teachers in Wales announced
21 November 2018
The Institute of Physics welcomes the Education Secretary's announcement of the National Approach to Professional Learning (NAPL).
This announcement marks the single biggest investment in support for teachers in Wales since devolution, with £9 million funding in this financial year, increasing to £15 million next financial year.
This funding looks to give schools the time and resources they need while planning for the new curriculum and makes sure that changes are made in a way that both prioritises teacher's wellbeing and results in improved learning.
Funding will help ensure there is cover for staff to continue their professional learning which will be available for all practitioners in schools, not just teachers.
Schools will also be encouraged to create, share and exploit learning opportunities with other schools and organisations as they work together in clusters.
IOP supports this investment in teaching in Wales. Through the Stimulating Physics Network Wales, we've worked with the Welsh Government to provide in-school CPD for teachers of physics since 2015 and have seen how effective these kinds of interventions can be. More access to flexible, high-quality support for teachers and technicians will have a huge benefit to learners in Wales.
We also believe that clusters of cooperating schools will be beneficial as the new curriculum rolls out. This is already happening with pioneer schools in Wales, but further investment into these networks will grow the culture of collaboration in Welsh education.

Politics and history are two of my passions. In some ways, they come hand in hand as history shapes the world of politics. Nowhere else in the United States are politics and history so apparent as in Washington D.C. The city is literally the center of politics and history for the United States of America. Upon learning of the J. Term trip, it seemed like it was only natural to sign up and go. I go into this trip with very 'open' expectations. Am I excited to go on this trip? Most certainly. Do I really know what all I am actually going to see and experience on this trip? Certainly not.
I have previously been to our nation's capital over spring break of 2011. I did the typical obligatory "touristy" visits: the Capitol, the White House, the Washington Monument, the Holocaust Museum, etc. I had a wonderful time on the trip, I instantly fell in love with D.C. However, in a way, I only experienced the superficial tour of the city; I didn't feel like I truly experienced it for what it was. I never saw the "real" side of the city away from the tourist traps and I never saw the politics in action at a session of Congress or a convening of the Supreme Court; in short I was never truly engaged with the city itself.
On this trip I hope to 'engage' or immerse myself in the city of Washington D.C.; I want to experience and see a side of the city you can't see (and I didn't see) on a normal tourist vacation to D.C. The academic Washington Center portion, the National Service Day, the alumni networking reception, bowling in the White House basement, and the Presidential Inauguration itself are some of the things I am most excited for on this trip; these events along with anything else that you can't experience on a normal "touristy" vacation will make this trip to D.C., I hope, to be a worthwhile and fulfilling experience.

MY LOVE FOR YOU IS BLINDMy thoughts are like the million gallons of water trapped beneath a dam. There are so many things I want to say but I just don't know where to start. I think I've just lost my chain of thoughts. RAH.
To start it off, I'm quite surprised that my lovely cell group leader, Miranda actually reads my blog. And yes, you look so much prettier without your braces on! Lastly thanks for being our Mother Goose in W408! Every cell meeting has been such a blessing to me!
One of the sweetest things.
Today I helped out in JAMS church for teachers' day. This is one ministry that takes care of the intellectual disabled members of the church. When the kids came into the room , my mind went "kevin you lucky thing." I was thankful for a thinking mind and a heavy body, which I've so often taken for granted.
I'm so going to change the world with A Random act of Kindness everyday. But no, I'm not building an ark.
But first, let me pick up my emotions and my guitar.

|Attract variety of fish more easily
Lures are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series.[name reference missing] They can be set to Fishing Rods while Lure Fishing. Although all fishing rods come with their standard Lure, Link can set a variety of lures to attract a variety of Fish more easily.
Types of Lures
Swimmer Lure
In Twilight Princess, the Swimmer Lure is the default fishing apparatus used. This Lure bobs up and down to attract all types of Fish.[1] This Lure, however, cannot attract deep-water dwelling Fish, it seems to be modelled after a "Walking Lure".
Popper Lure
In Twilight Princess, the Popper Lure is a step up from the Swimmer Lure, having the ability to attract mainly deep-water dwelling Fish by using a highly aggravating popping sound at the surface of the water in order to scare more sensitive Fish away.[2]
Spinner Lure
Appearing only in Twilight Princess, the Spinner Lure is used to attract nervous fish by splashing the water making lots of noise.[3] It looks like a minnow, but has propellers on its front and back. These propellers make enough noise on the surface of the water, making shy Fish come up and take a bite. This Lure is the best lure to use when trying to catch the Hylian Pike, despite it's name, it's modelled after a "Propeller Lure".
Frog Lure
The Frog Lure is a secret fishing lure that can only be unlocked by beating eight rounds of the first level of the Rollgoal game in Twilight Princess.[4] It can be seen hanging on the wall behind Hena in the fishing hut. It is in the shape of a frog which is good food for large fish. This is the only Lure that can catch the Hylian Loach legally, and it's also a good choice for catching the Hyrule Bass.[5] However, this lure is hard to control, and excellent skill with the controls is needed to get it to function properly.[6] Unlike other lures, once a fish goes for the Frog Lure, Link must let the Fish nibble on the Lure for a bit before trying to hook it; otherwise, the Fish will lose interest and escape.[6]
Sinking Lure
The Sinking Lure is a fishing Lure found in Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Majora's Mask 3D. This Lure is illegal to use when fishing, so Link must be careful not to get caught.[7][8] However, in Majora's Mask 3D, it is available for legitimate use and appears to be legal, as the Fishing Hole Men offer it as an option when Link fishes at either one of the Fishing Holes.[9] The Sinking Lure is ideal for anyone who wants to quickly catch big Fish or catch the Hylian Loach. It goes straight down to the bottom of the water and is very shiny, which attracts all sorts of Fish.[10]
Ocarina of Time
In Ocarina of Time, Link can only use the regular lure to catch fish since Sinking Lures are strictly prohibited and will grant the Fishing Hole Man the right to deny the young hero a prize.[7] Because of this, the Sinking Lure does not appear in the past until young Link has obtained the Piece of Heart, and it will not appear in the adult era until the Golden Scale is won. These prizes can be received by besting the current Fish record by at least four pounds: if the current record is 9 pounds as Adult Link, then at least a 13-pound Fish must be caught to obtain the Golden Scale as a reward and unlock the Sinking Lure as an adult.
Once Link obtains the prices, the Sinking Lure can be found in four different places around the Fishing Pond. Its location changes almost every time Link enters the Fishing Pond. To obtain the Lure, Link must walk up to these places while carrying the fishing rod:
- On the big underwater rock by the stream
- Hidden in an underwater rock by the three poles surfacing from the water on the east side of the pond
- On the arched log to the west of the pond
- In the grass on the northern wall of the pond
If, after collecting the lure, Link takes it to the owner and chooses 'Let's talk about something', the owner will allow Link to use the Lure for his honesty.[11] Despite this, the owner will still deny Link a prize for any record-breaking Fish he catches with the Sinking Lure.[7] Once the young hero exits the pond, he will have to search for the Sinking Lure again before he is able to use it.
Twilight Princess
In Twilight Princess, the lure is a bit harder to find and harder to get. First, Link must catch one of each type of fish in Hena's Fishing Hole while lure fishing to get the sinking lure to appear. That includes the Hyrule Bass, Hylian Pike, and Ordon Catfish. Moreover, the young hero must have obtained the Coral Earring. Once Link has caught all of these Fish and has the Coral Earring, he can obtain the Lure. The Lure is located either at the highest point of the east bank or westernmost part of the south bank of the fishing hole. The line must be cast until the line is taken like it would with any other Fish. The Sinking Lure will eventually get hooked and will be added to the young hero's arsenal of Lures.
Like the Frog Lure, Link must let the fish nibble on the Sinking Lure for a few seconds before trying to hook the fish, otherwise the fish will escape. Although using the Sinking Lure is prohibited within the pond,[8] Hena cannot tell Link has been using it unless Link uses the lure while she is with him as a guide. Should Hena see the lure, she will immediately confiscate it;[12] however, Link can obtain another Sinking Lure in either of the same locations as before, the sinking lure seems to be modelled after a "Spoon Lure".
Majora's Mask 3D
In Majora's Mask 3D, the Sinking Lure is available as an option along with the normal lure when fishing at either of the two Fishing Holes. It does not seem to be illegal.
Big Catch Lure
In Phantom Hourglass, the Big Catch Lure is a Lure that the Old Wayfarer can give to Link if he proves himself to be dedicated to fishing by showing him the Loovar. With this Lure, Link can catch larger Fish and even the legendary Neptoona.
- ↑ "The back-and-forth action attracts all types of fish." — N/A (Twilight Princess)
- ↑ "The call of this sound-making lure is great for big fish in deep waters." — N/A (Twilight Princess)
- ↑ "The call of this lure's propeller is a siren song to nervous fish." — N/A (Twilight Princess)
- ↑ "You can only use a frog lure if you beat the Rollgoal game I designed! And you have to beat EVERY level!" — Hena (Twilight Princess)
- ↑ "The must-have lure for bass." — N/A (Twilight Princess)
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 "If you try to hook a fish too quickly with the frog lure, you might lose it... That's what makes it so hard. You might want to give it a little more time before you try to hook it." — Hena (Twilight Princess)
- ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 "YAHOOOOOO! This is HUGE!! A new record!! This...this weighs as much as... "x" pounds!! Buuuuuuuut! That sinking lure is in violation of the rules! So, no prize for you. Wah ha ha ha ha ha!" — Fishing Hole Man (Ocarina of Time)
- ↑ 8.0 8.1 "Sinking lures are NOT allowed! That's what we call CHEATING! Those things attract even the fish that aren't really hungry. Does that sound fun to you? No. Not only is it no fun, but it's bad for the ecosystem. It changes fish's feeding habits, and then NOBODY will be able to catch them. Sinking lures have been banned here for generations: that's why you can still catch fish here!" — Hena (Twilight Princess)
- ↑ "The rod with the sinking lure, then? Nice. Just the ticket fer catchin' fishies who hang out near the bottom of the water. Them bottom dwellers." — Fishing Hole Man (Majora's Mask 3D)
- ↑ "You caught a sinking lure! This prohibited item cannot be used in fish ponds. It shines and should be good for fishing." — N/A (Twilight Princess)
- ↑ "What? Do you want to fish with a different lure? ...Hey, what's that? What? You just picked it up? Usually, the rules says you can't use one of those. I mean, usually. But what the heck..." — Fishing Hole Man (Ocarina of Time)
- ↑ "You can't use sinking lures here! Yeah, THAT one! That's cheating! Where'd you get that thing? You can't use it! No way, nohow! Hand it over. NOW!" — Hena (Twilight Princess)

Exploring Mars: Secrets of the Red Planet by the Editors of Scientific American
Our nearest planetary neighbor has been the subject of endless fascination and wide-ranging theories throughout history. Is there life on Mars? Was there ever life on Mars? What was the atmosphere like thousands or millions of years ago? From Percival Lowell, who built his own observatory so he could dedicate himself to studying the red planet, to NASA landing the car-sized Opportunity rover in 2012, this eBook, Exploring Mars: Secrets of the Red Planet, traces Scientific American's coverage of the observation and exploration of Mars. The first section outlines early 20th century theories about Mars, including the possibility of an intricate canal system built by an intelligent species. Once the space probes enter the picture, most of those ideas were debunked, but even more questions arose. The second section covers current missions, which found evidence of ancient oceans and a thicker atmosphere that has since been lost. The third section raises even more exciting possibilities with ambitious plans for future missions. In this book, you'll follow these advances in astronomy and planetary science as better and better technology brings us incrementally closer to unlocking the secrets of Mars.
