Eat Your Way To Happy
10 Foods that lift your mood
Foods play a large role in our moods, energy and emotions, says New York City-based nutritionist Ariane Hundt. "A poor diet, especially one loaded with junk food, is often a cause of depression."
The brain's neurotransmitters regulate our mood and behavior and are controlled by our food intake, explains Hundt. "The neurotransmitters most closely related to mood are dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. When the brain makes serotonin, we typically feel happier and more relaxed. When the other two are produced, we think and act more quickly and clearly."
The key to balancing mood through nutrition is consistency, even during stressful times, adds Hundt. So even though we tend to crave sugary foods for a quick mood fix, the long term and lasting fix is a good combination of lean proteins and lots of vegetables to stabilize blood sugar and neurotransmitters.
Tip: Kate Brown, certified fitness trainer, suggests substituting ground turkey for ground beef in burger and chili recipes to get a mega dose of tryptophan. |
Found in turkey and milk, tryptophan boosts serotonin levels to balance mood and provide a more positive outlook.
High-protein foods
Foods such as fish, turkey, chicken and eggs are high in protein. Protein enhances dopamine and norepinephrine production, which helps concentration.

There's yet another good reason to eat a banana a day. Bananas boost serotonin and dopamine production.

Complex carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates stimulate the production of serotonin. Sugary carbs do not provide the same benefit. Find complex carbs in whole grains (brown rice, oatmeal), vegetables and legumes.

Healthy fat like that found in avocados helps raise dopamine levels and increase endorphins. And guacamole isn't the only way to enjoy this superfood. You can make avocado hash browns, avocado burgers and avocado shakes!

In addition to being high in fiber and good fat for brain health, almonds are proven to increase dopamine levels.
Dark chocolate
It comes as no surprise that chocolate makes the list. This comfort food boosts serotonin levels without resulting in a sugar crash or low blood sugar. Look for dark chocolate with more than 85 percent cocoa.
Live longer with dark chocolate >>
Green tea
Hartford bioidentical hormone doctor Alicia Stanton recommends drinking green tea. Green tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid showns to improve mood while reducing stress and anxiety, says Dr Stanton. L-theanine promotes relaxation without causing drowsiness and even may increase mental alertness, focus and memory.
Omega 3 fats
Coldwater fish, such as wild salmon, sardines and tuna, support healthy function of the brain and nervous system and protect against mood swings and depression, says Dr Stanton.

Probiotics have been shown to improve mood, says Wendy Bailey of Probiotics.org. Our bodies have serotonin receptors in our gut, explains Bailey, and an imbalance in good and bad bacteria can distrupt the production/reception of serotonin. Probiotics keep levels of bad bacteria down. Find probiotics in yogurt, cottage cheese and some cereals.

Ella Belle Overstreet Baxter graciously welcomed me into her home. But what she didn't know what was that I wanted her secret to long life. Saving that, her portal to the past. Ella has watched Anderson County evolve for about 100 years. She's been alive for both World Wars, minor and major military conflicts abroad. She watched distilleries flourish, then wilt; lacking liquid courage they needed during the years of Prohibition. The clicks of Morse Code transformed into the pings of incoming text messages.
Column as I see 'em … Shut up. Those two words together can be rather offensive, can't they? They become even more so when those in authority decide not only if we're allowed to speak, but limit what we're allowed to even say.
The Anderson County Historical Society will hold its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. on Oct. 27 at the Anderson Public Library. This month's speaker, local attorney and community leader Walter Patrick, will discuss the concept and advantages of combined city and county government. The meeting is free and open to the public.
The word "mandatory" upsets people, said Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway. He doesn't like it himself. "I hate that word mandatory," Conway said. "I can't stand it, I wish there was a more favorable word than mandatory." Mandatory trash pickup, however, could lead to Anderson County being designated as a Certified Clean County, a title that would reap grant funds for the county. It's good for the county, Conway said. But he said he's not sure how to implement it.
Embattled health director Brandon Hurley still has his job, but his fate is far from decided. The Anderson County Board of Health took no action following an hour-long closed session last Wednesday night and will no seek "legal advice" on how to proceed. Following the meeting, the board announced it will meet Thursday, Nov. 3 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss "personnel."
What could be better than a free plate of spaghetti and a chance to see and hear the delightful Heather French Henry all in one setting? That's what Anderson County's veterans have to look forward to Nov. 10 during an event sponsored by Hospice of the Bluegrass and the Anderson Senior Citizen Center. Henry, a Maysville native who in 1999 became the first Kentuckian to win the title of Miss America, will be the keynote speaker during the event and will encourage veterans to access the care and assistance they need.
A Jeffersontown man emerged Saturday from Taylorsville Lake safe and sound. His car? Not so much. Ronald Berkley was attempting to launch his boat that morning at the Van Buren boat ramp when things went terribly wrong, thanks to a new pair of hunting boots. Berkley, who was planning to boat to a location on the lake to go turkey hunting, told rescuers that he had just purchased the boots and was wearing them while backing his car down the ramp. "They were heavier then he was used to," said Anderson County Fire Chief Mike Barnes.

The former Anderson County social worker indicted on nine felony counts of tampering with public records admitted doing so to an investigator with the attorney general's office, according to documents obtained by The Anderson News. Margaret "Geri" Murphy, who in September pleaded not guilty to the charges, admitted falsifying records in each of the nine counts, including cases involving numerous cases of alleged sexual abuse — one involving an infant.

That's the message behind Audi's new ad for their 2014 TDI cars. That's right: a diesel car. No, it's not witchcraft, it's real! As I learned covering the recent A6 and A7 TDI drive event, Audi is making a big push to get luxury car buyers into their diesel models. Much of that involves dispelling strangely persistent myths about diesel to Americans, like the notion that diesels are smelly, smoky, and slow. Audi said during that event that their diesel owners still have people run up to them at gas stations frantically trying to stop them from "accidentally" putting diesel into their cars. Yes, that is an actual thing that happens. It's not just advertisement hype.So hopefully this ad will show Americans once and for all that diesel is for cars, too, especially ones loaded down with insane amounts of torque like the A6 and A7. Now if they can just keep their diesel owners from putting gasoline in them, they'll be good. Reply108 repliesLeave a reply

Proteins are important in building cells. They are chains of amino acids which are joined together to form different kinds of protein molecules depending on the various types of amino acids that join to form the proteins. The production of protein by an individual cell is called as protein synthesis. So the information on the sequence of amino acids that need to join in a specific order to form the right protein molecule for each of these proteins is stored in the gene which is in the DNA of the cell. Protein synthesis usually takes place in two major steps. The first step is Transcription which involves the creation of mRNA from the DNA.The second step involves the polymerization of amino acids to form polypeptides which is proteins as defined by the mRNA. This second step is called as Translation.
The process of copying of the genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA is termed as transcription. This is the first step required for protein synthesis. Transcription is also based on the complementarity of the strand. Also, only one strand of the DNA is converted into RNA. One transcription unit consists of 3 regions: A promoter, the Structural Gene and a Terminator. The promoter is located towards the 5' end and defines the template and coding strand. The terminator is towards the 3' end defining the end of transcription process. The RNA is transcribed in 5' to 3' direction by RNA polymerase.
The process of polymerization of amino acids to form a polypeptide is called as Translation. It is the second and final step of protein synthesis. The order into which the amino acids are arranged is defined by the bases in mRNA (messenger). Ribosome is the cellular factory responsible for the protein synthesis. The ribosome consists of structural RNAs and about 80 different proteins. It is in inactive stage and exists as two subunits, one large and other small. The synthesis of protein begins when the small subunit encounters an mRNA. The ribosome also acts as a catalyst for the formation of peptide bonds.
The amino acids are joined to form proteins by peptide bonds. The formation of peptide bonds requires a good amount of energy. Therefore, in the first phase of translation for protein synthesis, the amino acids are activated in the presence of ATP and linked to their cognate tRNA (transfer RNA). This process is called as charging of the tRNA or aminoacylation of tRNA. If two such charged tRNA are brought close enough, the formation of peptide bond between them is favored energetically. This function occurs inside the ribosome, as it contains two sites for subsequent amino acids to bind to and thus be close enough for bonding.
For initiation of the translation process, the ribosome binds to the mRNA at the start codon recognized by the initiator tRNA. The ribosome then proceeds to the elongation phase of protein synthesis. During this stage, the complexes formed by amino acids are linked to tRNA, sub sequentially to bind to the appropriate codon in mRNA by forming complimentary base pairs with the tRNA anticodon. The ribosome moves from codon to codon along the mRNA. Amino acids are added one by one, translated into polypeptide sequences dictated by the DNA and represented by mRNA. At the end, release factor binds to the stop codon, thus terminating the translation stage and completing the protein synthesis process. The complete polypeptide is released from the ribosome.

What's worth watching, and what might not be, in prime time this weekend.
Happy Endings | ABC, Friday, 8 ET/PT
This ABC comedy ends its Friday exile, its season, and perhaps its life with a double-run that includes the marriage of Jane and Alex's older sister, played by Law & Order: SVU'sStephanie March. The show has never quite worked for me, but in honor of the old admonition against speaking ill of the possibly dead, let's say this: In every episode I've seen, Damon Wayans Jr. has found a way to make me laugh. And unlike Fox's revoltingly self-indulgent — and sometimes, as with this week's vomiting episode, straight-out revolting — Mindy Project, Endings has never once made me wish television had never been invented. So there's that.
CRITIC'S CORNER CHAT: Read the most recent transcript
The Amazing Race | CBS, Sunday, 8 ET/PT
This Emmy Award magnet ends another season Sunday as the final four teams set off to win the $1 million prize. They start by snorkeling their way through a Belfast bog and end in Washington, D.C., which has been compared to a bog more than once itself. As always, Phil Keoghan will be waiting for them at the finish line — and as always, it should make for an entertaining, extremely well-produced two hours of TV.
Red Widow/The Mentalist | ABC/CBS, Sunday, 10 ET/PT
Two red-tinted finales compete for your attention Sunday night. If patterns hold, and they no doubt will, The Mentalist — which once again ends its season with a Red John episode — will be by far the more entertaining choice. On the other hand, the Red Widow finale is likely to be much more final, as there's almost no chance the series is coming back next fall. So if you're curious, this is probably your last chance.

Real name is Tony and I hail from just north of Brisbane about 28km's from the CBD. I've had native bees for a couple of years and decided I wanted some honey bees as well.
I got my first hive in November last year, and got my first swarm a few weeks ago so I've two hives running now having a lot of fun learning my way around. Joined Northside Beekeepers which is conveniently close to home.

G'day, Jono's the name, I'm a farmer, live about 2 hours north of Adelaide and have been keeping bees for about 18 months. I have bees in 9 hives and four of these have supers on. I'm looking forward to my first extraction sometime in the very near future! I lost two colonies over winter but did a split a couple of weeks ago and picked up a swarm today. There seems to be no shortage of bees around here, I know of numerous 'feral' colonies.
I'm basically running 10 frame full depths but have a few ideal supers (due to the purchase of some second hand gear and they were included). I'm planning to go for half depth supers so they're not so heavy but still get the most out of my extractor which will hold 8 of these frames. I'm also giving foundationless a go.
I've always been interested in bees, probably due to the interest my grandfather had in them (though he got out of bees before I was born) and the experience I had as a kid helping my neighbour build hive gear and inspect his bees. When bees made their home in some farm machinery, I figured I may as well put them in a box and my interest turned into, well, more like an obsession. The more I learn about them, the more I appreciate them. I take much more notice of what is in flower now and my ears have become 'tuned' to the hum of a honeybee.
I really enjoy this forum, there's always something to learn and it's great to interact with beeks from all over the world.

Hi Mark from Muswellbrook NSW
My wife and I have just purchased 22 second hand hives. We have a steep learning curve to come and it has started already. The hives we bought all had swarms although they are all in various stages of decline. We are looking to re queen all the hives at some stage. They contain some honey new and old black stuff. Most of the frames are in various stages of disrepair.
First inspection most were getting on with collecting pollen from fireweed reasonable amounts of brood. Some hives were low on numbers due to old queens i think. Noticed that there were not a lot of drones in hives?
We have just purchased 200 frames from Penders. Wife will be busy assembling these. I bought her an air bradder to make it easier.
Was thinking of adding a super of new frames under top supers. What do you think?
Went and checked hives yesterday not a good day. Found one hive a triple super, 2 full supers of capped honey 2 weeks ago, sounds good doesn't it but it all went down hill. Went for a walk on Monday and noticed that there was not a lot of bee activity on this hive. Lots of ants around the hive but.
Opened yesterday and found both supers had been robbed of honey and dead bees on top of queen excluder. Looked in brood box and found only empty combs. There were some bees about but i think they may have been robbing what was left.
My thoughts are that the ants attacked the hive due to it being week, killed bees and robbed honey?
I am going to put the frames i the fridge to keep if needed i the future.

Now that you have read the above essay. I will pose some questions?
There is not a lot of pollen around the brood, Conditions are starting to dry out therefore there is not a lot of pollen around. Should i be adding supplementary pollen?
Due to these being weak hive should i start feeding syrup? Or will this attract the ants?
Thanks Mark

Hello Harold,
Sorry, we should be getting back to you with some info. I'm not the best one for that though. I don't have a great deal of experience, and I'm in a warmer climate.
I don't think you should add empty supers to your hives. For a start, you are new and it is better to learn how to manipulate smaller hives, and then get a feeling for when another super wouldn't hurt. I think you'd be better off taking out some capped honey and storing it in the freezer for when you extract, and replace those frames with empty foundation frames. The hives that are low on numbers, reduce the space as needed to keep beetle and moths out, even if it means reducing space to a nuc box. Look at the brood pattern and if it is getting patchy your queen/s might be getting old. Though if you are sure swarms emerged from the hives, maybe the queen/s were replaced with young queens? I would advise not requeening all the hives, because that has its own risks...say getting 22 bad queens all at once would really knock your hives. If you are sure you need to replace particular queens you could also try killing the queen and making sure there are only eggs in the hive from your best hive. This sometimes doesn't work either.
Anything could have happened to the triple decker. If it had swarmed, the numbers might have been too low to fend off a pest. Always protect against ants, especially if you have meat ants there. Our stands have the legs in oil cans.
Adding pollen attracts small hive beetle, so I would only do this if it were a life or death situation (for me that is, not the bees!) In spring/summer conditions, usually there is pollen around even if there is not much nectar. Besides, there is not always pollen "around" the brood. Often there is just some on one of the edge frames in the brood chamber. Maybe with lower numbers of brood the pollen requirements are less so they are not bringing so much in. I live in a very dry area but I never panic about pollen. If you find a hive with nearly none and another with 2 frames, you can always brush the bees off and swap frames.
Feeding syrup is a desperate measure too. You might really need another site or two because 22 hives might be too many for what is flowering. What is the terrain like where you are? I would reduce the space, swap honey frames into the weak hives (preferably uncapped so you get to eat some capped honey too) and then see if you need to feed. Feeding might stimulate queen laying. Don't worry about not many drones. They will return when the hives are stronger and conditions better. There will be drones somewhere at ths time of year.
All the best, keep us informed, and welcome to you and Peter in Lithgow.

Diana Nelson Jones' Walkabout: Young entrepreneur testing Pittsburgh water via pontoon rentals
June 2, 2014 10:57 PMThing One and Thing Two are now in the water, christened in champagne at the Sharpsburg Islands Marina and ready to launch Boat Pittsburgh, a new pontoon rental business in the Pittsburgh pool.
With all the water that runs through Pittsburgh and nearby boroughs, you might think Nicole Moga would have lots of competition for her fledgling business. You can rent kayaks and charter tours, but there's a paucity of opportunity to steer your own party on the water if you don't own a boat.
Ms. Moga and her friends rented pontoons occasionally from a company that provided them at the Millvale Waterfront Park for several years, she said, "but they disappeared. That's when I thought, 'If no one else is doing this, I will.' "
Ms. Moga has financed two boats with 60 horsepower engines, hoping to add to the fleet if her business takes off. A Troy Hill resident, she grew up boating on Lake Mohawk in Carroll County, Ohio, and came to Pittsburgh to attend college.
"I grew up on speed boats and skied and carted friends around in a pontoon," she said. "In Pittsburgh, I didn't have a boat, and being so close to water made me nostalgic."
She and friends rented at the Millvale marina for several years before she began researching how to start her own boat rental business. She took a class on how to write a business plan and sought small-business advice through programs at Chatham and Duquesne universities.
Ms. Moga ran a survey to gauge interest on Facebook and got 237 responses.
"Based on the ZIP codes, the interest is pretty wide geographically," she said. "Even boat owners are interested. I'm confident it's going to be a hit."
Ms. Moga, 32, is following her bliss after previously working as a graphic designer and a branding and marketing staffer for the Community Technical Assistance Center. She is operating Boat Pittsburgh while working part time as Tree Pittsburgh's office manager.
Each pontoon holds up to 10 people. Rental rates drop the longer your party is out -- $80 for one hour, $260 for four hours, $360 for eight hours. Holiday rates are $500 for eight hours. Rentals are available every day from sunrise to sunset through October.
If you have a valid driver's license, you can drive a boat, but you must be 21 before renting from Boat Pittsburgh and must sign a waiver and get a safety briefing at the dock. Boat Pittsburgh is a limited liability company whose policies are stated on its website, www.boat-pgh.com.
Ms. Moga said that Thing One and Thing Two, named temporarily for characters from Dr. Seuss, will be given permanent names in a boat naming competition this summer.
The Allegheny River Towns Enterprise Zone, or ARTEZ, helped Boat Pittsburgh find its site in Sharpsburg, which has a private and public marina. ARTEZ was founded eight years ago to help businesses in Allegheny River boroughs but has expanded into community development and trail advocacy, said Iris Whitworth, the executive director.
"We worked directly with the borough of Sharpsburg to help locate a place to moor their boats," she said. "We thought it was a great opportunity for Sharpsburg to provide tourism and for the community. There are very few sites like that in the Pittsburgh pool."
It is surprising that Pittsburgh has so few boat rental opportunities, but it's also surprising that someone hasn't figured out how to publicly transport people around the rivers. I banged the drum for support of water taxi fleets for several years, certain that such an amenity would be a no-brainer. How enhanced the quality of life in the city would be if you could hop a water taxi from the South Side to the Strip, from the North Shore to Lawrenceville, or Homestead, or Aspinwall.
While a few efforts showed promise in the 1990s, nothing regular or reliable has ever taken hold, due largely to fears and costs of liability, politics, naysayers and the need for infrastructure investment.
Pittsburgh has come such a long way toward appreciating its rivers, with trails, housing and other amenities that make use of river frontage. Maybe organizations that have advocated for these can think of a way to enhance the actual river experience to give Boat Pittsburgh some company.

Cathodic protection design is essential in the planning stage of building your metallic infrastructure. A sound cathodic protection system will prolong the life of your valued assets by protecting it from deterioration caused by corrosion. When using impressed current cathodic protection, a cathodic protection rectifier is your best tool in achieving full protection. At Borin.com, we offer the best cathodic protection services and tools in guarding your assets from damage and deterioration, ensuring a full return of investment.
An impressed cathodic protection system using current is applied with the use of an external current (DC) with long lasting anodes. The usual source of current for impressed cathodic protection is a power (AC) converted into a cathodic protection rectifier.
Impressed current cathodic protection needs current anodes that are designed for long life using current with high output. Borin.com carries anodes with very low consumption of corrosion rates. Typical life span of an impressed current anode is more than twenty years. Materials that have been proven suitable for anodes are high silicon cast iron, mixed metal oxide, treated graphite and magnetite and platinum. The anodes are usually installed in the electrolyte in grouped configurations. They are called groundbeds and they are installed underground horizontally or vertically. A positive cable connects the groundbeds to the power source while a negative cable connects the structure to the power source.
Among the advantages of an impressed current cathodic protection are its longer life and limitless current opportunities. This system is usually installed in large structures where protection needed covers a wide area and requires a high level of current.
Disadvantages are the high maintenance costs and the need for an outside power source. Power source usually comes from sources like commercial AC and converted into DC through a rectifier, solar panels or a thermoelectric generator. A higher maintenance and monitoring system is needed by comparison to sacrificial anode systems.
A good cathodic protection design is your security for your valued investments. It must be installed with giving the maximum protection for your metallic infrastructure in mind. Borin.com carries quality and effective tools needed for a strong cathodic protection system. From anodes to rectifiers, we are your only source of world class cathodic protection tools brands like Stelth, Dart, Comanche and Tomahawk. We guarantee only the best performance and output from our products for maximum protection of your investments.

Re: Comparing two dates and getting back difference in daysby phydeauxarff (Priest) |

Throwing in one more thing to consider when comparing dates... I use date::business because I typically need to figure out how many "business days" have passed and this module does a good job of not only figuring the weekdays, but also allows you to skip holidays. using the diffb() function in this module will count the number of days between a Friday and a Monday as 1.

It's been 15 years since Selena Quintanilla-Pérez died at 24—tragically, and at the hands of her fan club's president—and it doesn't get any easier to explain her loss. The only thing that helps is to reflect on the legacy she's left behind: one that becomes more apparent each day as young artists inspired by the Tejana singer forge their own careers and inspire a new generation of Latinas to be their talented, strong and beautiful selves. Here's a look at the stars who now carry the torch for the one who left us too soon.
Jennifer Lopez: Before her pitch-perfect portrayal of Selena (still the greatest role she's ever played) in a 1997 biopic, Jennifer Lopez was little more than a former Fly Girl and budding sex symbol. But Jenny sank her teeth so deeply into the role, we came away with a whole new understanding of our beloved Selena, and realized that we had another future Latina superstar in our midst...
Selena Gomez: This Disney starlet was named after Selena and met the late singer's brother at the 2008 ALMA Awards: "A.B. Quintanilla came up to me and said, 'I'm Selena's brother,' " Gomez recently told Latina, "and I said, 'I know who you are!' He told me that if I ever needed anything, to just let him know. I felt so honored."
David Archuleta: The American Idol alum was only 5 years old when Selena passed away, but he's no stranger to her catalog. Archuleta has revealed that his mother, Lupe, regularly sang Selena's music around the house during his childhood, and he even covered the singer's classic hit, "Como La Flor," at a recent concert in California.
Jennifer Peña: Selena's legacy continues to follow this Grammy-nominated singer, who also grew up in Corpus Christi and was originally managed by Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla. Peña first made waves at the age of 12, when she covered "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" at a Selena tribute concert, and soon became a pop star with her 2007 crossover album, Dicen Que El Tiempo, before settling down to raise a family with fellow boricua singer-songwriter Obie Bermudez. Here's hoping we haven't heard the last of her.
Kat DeLuna: There's a reason why DeLuna's far-reaching vocals often earn comparisons to Selena. The Dominican songstress has been emulating her since she was a little girl, as this clip of her singing "No Me Queda Más" so vividly—and adorably—shows.
Demi Lovato: Like her Disney BFF Selena Gomez, Lovato inspires young girls of all stripes—Latinas included—by pouring her heart into her music and being a positive role model for her fans. Selena would be proud.
Paula DeAnda: Raised in Corpus Christi, Texas, just like her predecessor, this teen pop singer often records in the same hometown studio and cites the Selena museum as one of her favorite places to visit. "I've always looked up to her so much because she was successful but really humble and took care of her fans," DeAnda told us in 2007. "And she's Latina—so you can't get any better than that."
Yolanda Perez: No one comes closer to approximating Selena's style today than Perez, a banda star and veejay for LATV's Mex 2 the Max who inspires a whole new generation of Mexican American girls by mixing up traditional banda music with traces of contemporary R&B and hip-hop.

Mayhem # 495253
About MeIn the ever-changing world of media, the ability to take photos with some degree of proficiency is becoming very important. Depending on who they're working for, writers are expected to be able to shoot.
That's how I got started shooting, a little over five years ago and I found I really enjoyed having a new creative outlet. At the time I was working for a golf publishing company. That company has since folded, but I'm still writing for various newspapers and web sites and actually have a golf e-zine of my own. Joining Model Mayhem has allowed me to meet some very nice people I never would have met otherwise and become more comfortable with a camera shooting real, people in real situations. I've learned things that have helped me shooting golf and the other things I do. You'll notice a lot of fitness-oriented photos in my port, I seem to have found a certain niche for that but I'm open to other creative concepts, especially a model's. No matter what I shoot, whether it's golf landscape or a model hitting the heavy bag or even something a little edgier, I'm striving to create images that are tasteful and dignified. I'm looking forward to exploring additional creative opportunities. CreditsHave you worked with Cybersport?

hvdashln – Horizontal and vertical dashed lines in arrays and tabulars
Definitions of horizontal and vertical dashed lines for the array and tabular environment. Instead of building partial horizontal dashed lines using Isozaki's \cline{2-3}, \hdashline fills the full width. The proportion of the dashed line is defined by the two parameters: \hdashlinewidth=2pt and \hdashlinegap=2pt, where the former defines the width of the dash and the latter sets their gap.
Note that this functionality has been re-implemented, for current LaTeX, in the package arydshln.

Something is wrong with x11, I have the newest and fastest ATI graphic card, ati's own drivers ,modern 4core + 8gb ram and Debian linux 64 bits SID, AND YET the desktop is slow with compiz. Maybe x11 has an "elegant" network transparent design, but for me and most users, its not delivering... Linux graphical layer must begin to use todays modern GPU's capabilites and develop another separate lightweight stack for linux on old and non-desktop computers.

Mason & Dixon: Their Line And Its Legend
February 1964 | Volume 15, Issue 2
The winter months of January and February, 1766, were spent sightseeing in adjacent colonies, including a trip to Williamsburg, "the Metropolis of Virginia," and a call on Governor Sharpe at Annapolis. By late March, they were back at Captain Shelby's and again moving westward until, on June 16, Mason noted that they had reached "the most westernmost Waters [the headwaters of the Potomac] that runs to the Eastward in these parts." It seems, in fact, that the surveyors believed they were getting close to "the Boundary between the Natives and strangers, in these parts of His Brittanic Majesties Collonies."
The party now set itself to the task of establishing the actual markers for the border they had fixed. Mason noted in his journal on June 18, 1766:
Set a Post (18 inches square 3 feet in the Ground and 5 out) … mark'd M on ye South Side, P on ye North Side, and W on the West: and began to cut a Visto in the true Parallel, or Line between Maryland and Pennsylvania … By drawing it thro' Points, laid off from the Line we had run … toward the Post mark'd West in Mr. Bryan's field.
On the tangent line of the boundary between Maryland and the Delaware counties, the party was provided with limestone markers which had been cut in England for the purpose and shipped directly to various points on Chesapeake Bay. These were set at every mile point, with every fifth marker distinguished by a "crown stone" on which were carved the arms of the proprietors in place of the M or P. On one occasion while setting the stones along the "West Line" the scientists had an opportunity to view it from the summit of a hill and observe its curvature. Mason wrote, "I saw the Line, still form'd the arch of a … circle, very beautiful, and agreeable to the Laws of a Sphere." He also indulged his keen interest in landmarks along the way, and in recording the moral which might be drawn from them:
Went to see Fort Cumberland [he wrote on June 27, 1766] … Going to the Fort, I fell in to General Braddock's Road, which he cut thro' the Mountains to lead the Army under his command to the westward in the year 1755 but, fate: how hard: made thro" the desert a path, himself to pass; and never, never to return.
Most of the summer and autumn of 1766 was spent in prolonging the Maryland-Pennsylvania border to the approximate limit indicated by the Pennsylvania charter, five degrees in longitude westward from their starting point. The scientists also extended the line from the "Post marked West in Mr. Bryan's Field" eastward to the Delaware River. This project they completed on December i, 1766. The commissioners, however, desired to have the main line go farther westward, and advised Mason and Dixon that Sir William Johnson, the royal agent for Indian affairs, was negotiating with the natives for its further extension into their territory. Additional work would await the outcome.
This was agreeable with Mason and Dixon. They had observed that the smooth terrain on what is now the Delmarva Peninsula was well adapted to a geodetic determination of the exact linear measure of one degree of latitude this far from the equator. They appealed to Maskelyne, then the Astronomer Royal at Greenwich, who arranged for the Royal Society to sponsor and finance the undertaking. The Society also granted their requested fee of £200 for the work, and assured them that if the proprietors should not be willing to give them their passage money after the delay which would be occasioned by this extra project, the Society would make it good.
But both Frederick, Lord Baltimore, and the Penns acquiesced in this research, and the Penns even sent the scientists some instruments which they had recently acquired. Not only would the work occupy the geodesists during the winter while negotiations between Sir William and the Indians were being carried on, but, as it developed later, the commissioners were interested in having the results of the investigation in order to fix the precise length of a degree of longitude along the east-west border. (This could be calculated from the value of a degree of latitude.)
Maskelyne sent his colleagues a long letter of instruction for the most accurate astronomical measurements, and through the instrument maker John Bird he arranged for the fashioning of a five-foot brass rod as a standard measure. With the aid of these and other improved instruments sent from abroad, Mason and Dixon determined, on the Delmarva Peninsula, the first precise value of dimensions of the earth ever made in North America.
In June, 1767, Sir William Johnson advised that the Six Nations had reluctantly consented to a limited extension of the border between Pennsylvania and Maryland. The situation could be rather delicate, the commissioners warned Mason and Dixon: "As the public Peace and your own Security may greatly depend on the Good Usage and Kind Treatment of these [Indian] Deputies" who were to accompany the party, "Spiritous Liquors" were to be given to them only in small quantities and not more than three times a day.
The Englishmen were eager to gather information about the country beyond the Atlantic seaboard for scientific and perhaps for political reasons. Much of Mason's journal for this part of the survey was devoted to "a description of the Ohio and Mississippi, as describ'd to me by Mr. Hugh Crawford, our Interpreter, who has traversed these parts for 28 years." From this description he noted:

Read Whole Story
If outright lies end up killing health care reform, the Republicans will have won, but, more importantly, the American people will have lost.
President Obama will address the nation's school children Tuesday in a speech promoting education, ambition, and perseverance. But the issue has been hijacked by the right-wing lunatic fringe.
You'd think Obama was showing kids on live TV how to slip a condom on a banana.
The soul of America is exhausted, wounded, mistrusting, suspicious, fearful -- and compromised. This is not a soul that can rebuild a country.
These Obama-hating conservatives and their dumbed-down, myopic philosophies appeal to the lowest common-denominator of the Republican Party, which is why it got trounced in the last election.
That's really what it's all about -- Barack Obama's political enemies don't actually accept him as president. They consider his presidency some kind of sham, regardless of the overwhelming majority he won.
President Obama is planning to deliver a nationally-televised speech on education to students across the country next Tuesday, the Washington Post rep...

Allergies |
Allergy or overdose?02/22/2010 |
I am 39 and currently being treated for an infection after having dental work. I have taken Amoxicillin 250 mg 3 or 4 times a day in the past, most recently 2 months ago after a root canal(as a precaution, and several times as a child. 3 weeks ago I had a crown put on and last week an extraction that required precaution amoxillin again. Somehow the crowned tooth developed an infection and 2 days after the extraction I had to have an emergency root canal on the crown and a drain hole. They doubled my Amoxicillin to 500 mg 4 times a day. First time I have ever taken this amount. On the 2nd day of this treatment I woke up to severe itching and hives. Is this an allergic reaction or is it due to the double dose? Can you develop allergies after so many years?
Based on this history, this is an allergic drug reaction until proven otherwise. Hopefully you stopped the medication. If you require an antibiotic in the future, you should use antibiotics from an alternative class other than Penicillin, penicillin derivatives or cephalosporins. You should see an allergist in the future who can skin test you to penicillin major and minor determinants to determine if you are truly sensitized to penicillin or penicillin derivatives.

When it became clear that Romney was the nominee, I rallied behind him and was supportive of the Republican ticket. However, some cold hard introspection is now in place. The Republican Party will not advance when it continues to be squeamish and timid and continues to beat up on its own.
Although I admire the intentions of groups desiring to impeach Obama; I ask: "How is possible to impeach someone from office when they illegitimately hold that office?" Isn't it late in the political game now to be thinking about that when both political parties were [and are] complicit in Obama's continued fraudulent usurpation of the American presidency?
It is common knowledge that Obama is a fraud through and through and now we find some Republicans decrying the reality that the election experienced widespread [Obama] fraud, resulting in Obama's victory. I ask: "Where were these same Republicans decrying the fact of Obama's ineligibility to be legitimate president?" These same cowardly Republicans are now ringing their hands, (blaming some of its Conservative base) saying that they lost Senate seats because of having the wrong candidates in place, such as Missouri's, Akin and Indiana's Murdock, who made some reckless statements, thereby handing the Senate seats to their opponents.
I ask these timid Republicans: "Where were you to raise holy hell at all of Obama's and Biden's outrageous and reckless campaign (and otherwise) statements?" These cowardly Republicans are disgustingly pathetic! Unless they drastically change their cowardly ways, voters such as me will no longer be part of their support for the next candidate in the next presidential (2016) election. They have no courage. They will not stand behind their own. They have no guts. And, as the old adage says, without guts, they share in no glory. ["No guts; no glory"].
If the Republican Party leaders would have listened to the cries of birthers, Constitutionalists and TEA Party supporters, they could have appropriately guided their nominee to go after Obama's Achilles heel. That serious weakness was [and still is] Obama's " flimsy house of cards eligibility." But, by ignoring Obama's Constitutional ineligibility to be legitimate US president, the Republican Party leaders consequently made themselves complicit with the whole fraud.
Since the Republican Party and its presidential nominee pick have proven themselves to be enemies of our US Constitution by avoiding the most obvious of presidential requirements, patriotic citizen Conservative voters have been alienated by the Republican Party for the last time. It has been reported that a significant 3 million Republican voters did not cast their presidential vote this time around. I will guarantee you, come 2016, that number will be much more! The GOP country club holier-than-thou leaders, such as the Ann Coulters and Karl Roves, better drum up all their (purported) almighty moderate voters to make up the difference; because we of the Republican Conservative base won't be around to vote for their nominee after having been so vilified for our Conservative ideas and positions!
Finally, why did the Romney campaign concede the election so soon? Surely it would have been the first entity and people to become aware of all the fraudulent voting irregularities. By conceding so quickly, the Republican Party again shows it is the political party of cowards and wimps. Time and time again this political party expects Conservative America to rally around its nominees while they show little regard for the various individual groups which comprise its potential voting majority.

I say produce evidence against Obama now and prove to all he is not legitimate. This has to be done. The Republican Party has to do this otherwise the country is done for. Congress shirking its responsibility will turn off even more voters next time around because many millions known Obama is not legit. Congress' job is to defend the country and our Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. Allowing a foreign national to reside in our white house with his finger on the nuclear arsenal is treason just to allow it.

Thank you for visiting http://www.moralmatters.org and for your comment!
I could not agree with you more. A host of high profile personalities coming out against Obama his ineligibility to be legitimate president would certainly be the beginning to his political end. A leader can only be a leader with a following. The Obama fraud and facade needs to be exposed big time by people willing to speak the truth against the backdrop of a vile and scandalous media, hiding the truth about Obama's identity fraud.
I just saw this latest article about Obama's identity scandal. I'll pass it on to you and anyone who may read these comments. How many more pieces of evidence does this nation need to know that we have a nasty scoundrel occupying our White House?

And now there are those who want to secede from the Union of States. To those who wish to take that course I ask, so you want to secede, huh?
Now you know how I felt in the courtroom in Tallahassee when the judge ruled that he couldn't proceed against Obama's name being on the ballot because Obama was not yet the 'official' nominee of the Democrat party.
Now you know how I felt when Judge Malihi in Georgia warned Obama's attorneys not to appear 'at their own peril,' and when they didn't he ruled in Obama's favor anyway.
Now you know how I felt when I asked Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) to his face if he would support legislation such as that put forward by Sen. A.G. Crowe (R-LA) which would require presidential candidates to establish their constitutional eligibility before being permitted to have their name on the ballot in Louisiana and Sen. Vitter told me that 'he'd look into it.' Several months later Sen. Vitter endorsed Marco Rubio–ineligible to be president or vice-president as a non-natural-born citizen–as a Republican running mate for Romney!
Now you know how I felt when–after polls referenced in World Net Daily articles reported an enormous majority within the Tea Party and the Republican Party either believed that Obama was a fraud and ineligible or had their doubts–my Governor here in Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, actively pursued, (and I mean literally: he actually followed the Romney campaign bus around), the nomination as the Republican VP running mate with no regard for the heartfelt cry from all corners of the country for our representatives to stand and defend the constitution against the criminal usurper, fraud and forger.
Now you know how I felt when I stood and listened to the preliminary findings of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's volunteer Cold Case Posse and the pathetic liberal media puppets who attacked the messengers with what amounted to nothing less than the heckling of a crowd–the larger news media networks not even present for the presentation of incontrivertable evidence that the purported president had presented 'We the People' with patently fraudulent, forged documents in an effort to cover-up the most sinister crime in American history: the criminal usurpation of the office of the president of the United States of America.
Now you know how I felt when I learned that, regarding the 8 different cases that have been denied a hearing by the Supreme Court, the two liberal judges illegally appointed by Obama did not have the measure of honor to recuse themselves from any discussion or deliberation on the cases when, quite naturally, were any of those cases to have proceeded successfully, the appointment of those two slimy worms would quite naturally have been retro-actively abrogated along with any and all decisions upon which they had ruled.
Now you know how I felt when investigative reporter Susan Daniels uncovered that Obama's Social Security number is fraudulent and nothing was done about it.
Now you know how I felt when I learned that when lead detective Mike Zullo attempted to inspect the registration log book at the Honolulu Dept. of Health in which Obama's birth was recorded in 1961 he and a fellow detective from Maricopa County, Arizona were met by what any writer might describe as "goons" and instructed to depart the premises. (By the way, in 1961 any Honolulu resident could walk in to the Health Dept. and register an 'unattended birth' that had "taken place" –that's right, they could just walk in and register a birth with no photos, no doctor's note, nothing, and more than a few Japanese are on record as having done that for children born in Japan in order to aquire American citizenship for them. Hmmmmm.)
Now you know how I felt when Obama said–what were his words?–I don't remember…something like, 'should the winds of war change I will stand with Islam.'
Now you know how I felt when Dr. Jerome Corsi corroborated and reported that Obama prays in an impeccable Arabic; that's right, with no distinguishable accent to a native speaker. Hmmmmm.
Now you know how I felt when Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, a surgeon in the 101st Airborne (Screaming Eagles), was stripped of his rank and court-martialed for simply requesting, as is his duty according to his oath to defend the constitution, that his purported commander-in-chief provide authentication that he legally, constitutionally, occupies said rank–not unlike any soldier authenticating an officer crossing a check-point–and for this he was dishonored and imprisoned. Lt. Col. Lakin had served in combat theaters of operation and was getting ready to re-deploy when he was wrongfully accused and imprisoned. Then Obama presented us with a forged birth certificate.
Where is the outrage? Where are the red-white-and-blue blooded Americans who would stand and fight or if neccesary lay down their lives for the American experiment in 'government of the People?'
Secession is not the answer.
Abrogation now is the answer.
We the People of the United States of America demand the retro-active abrogation of the fraud and forger, the 'Manchurian' Muslim from Mombasa, Barry Soetoro, Soebarkha, who fraudulently represented himself through his own literary agent for over 16 years as having been born in Kenya. MR. OBAMA was in the commission of a crime when he was illegally elected. America is in the midst of a constitutional crisis of unparalleled magnitude: we have no legal sitting president or vice-president.
Obama needs to be taken into custody by the appropriate authority and debriefed. I understand water-boarding has proven highly effective with enemy agents of Islam.
We need to put a financial hurt on all the main stream media outlets which are in cahoots with this attack upon our country and our constitution and our liberty.
We need to vote out ALL Republican and Democrat party scoundrels who have utterly failed to keep their oath to defend the Constitution.
Administrators at Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School need to be tar'd and feathered for their complicity in the most sinister crime in American history. When Obama's college records including those financial records which indicate the Islamist financing of his education are made public and it is clear that administrators at those institutions of higher learning have all along been aware that MR. OBAMA is now and always was constitutionally ineligible to be president, they must be made to pay and pay dearly for the crime of treason. Lest I forget, Governor Abercrombie of Hawaii should be sentenced to hang for his part in the crime.
Obama should be tried by a military tribunal for having also criminally usurped the military rank of commander-in-chief. No more wicked assault upon the office and honor of the office of the president of the United States of America has taken place since President Lincoln was shot.
chris –
Excellent comment! Thank you for visiting http://www.moralmatters.org – and please visit often! I pray that more Americans would view the fraudulent Obama White House occupancy with the same clarity with which you do!
I also agree with your prognosis and your remedy; with specific punishments for such complicit behaviors contrary to patriotic America and its Constitution! This complicit "sin of omission" of supporting Obama's illegal presidency needs to be specifically addressed in the future. To do otherwise, will harm our nation even more!

Modestep Announces First-Ever North American Headline Tour In Support Of Forthcoming Release Evolution Theory Available March 5
"Music in 2013 doesn't get any more exciting" Evening Standard
"The Modestep live show is something you have to see to believe" Kerrang!
Jan 31, 2013, 07:00 ET from Interscope Records
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Having already ignited massive audiences in the UK with their raucous live shows, London-based dubstep-rock band Modestep hit the road this March for a five week tour commencing March 15 at Miami's Ultra Music Festival. Modestep visits major North American cities before wrapping April 19th in Indio, CA at Coachella. Tickets go on sale this weekend for their headline dates.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130131/LA51645LOGO)
The track, "Another Day" along with the other songs from Evolution Theory were written, recorded and produced by Modestep. The band has amassed over 50 million views on YouTube. Elektro Magazine calls Modestep "an auricular army, shooting bullet ballads packed with some of the most creative refrains in EDM today." "Modestep are reasserting just how dynamic and exciting the genre can be," says Alternative Press. And Kerrang! declares, "Welcome to the future." Check out video for "Another Day" here: http://vevo.ly/SrIvXI.
Album highlights include the immense, hook-heavy "Burn," featuring Dirtee Stank's Newham Generals, and the intense "Praying For Silence" (featuring Document One), written about the 2011 UK riots . Modestep vary the pace with the spacey dub-rock of "Time," the lighters-in-the-air epic "Save The World" – which sounds like the theme tune to a future Bond film - and awesome title track "Evolution Theory" (featuring D Power, Jammin, Frisco & Jammer) which builds from downtempo, grime beginnings into a full-on dubstep monster. Cohesive yet continually surprising, Evolution Theory promises to take Modestep's thrilling, genre-hopping music to the masses.
Modestep were born online in 2008, when brothers Josh and Tony Friend started Modestep Radio to showcase their productions and dubstep tracks they loved. By late 2010 they were writing their own songs, one of which was "Feel Good," for which they made a cheap video. They gave the exclusive to dubstep Youtube channel UKF and within weeks it had 4 million hits. By Jan 2011 Modestep found themselves on the Radio 1 A-List and the hottest unsigned property in UK music.
Modestep became a fully-fledged live band after Josh (vocals, keyboards) and Tony (decks, guitar) recruited Matt Curtis (drums) and Nick Tsang (lead guitar) in early 2011. Since then the band have toured relentlessly, smashing it at Festivals all over the world including Electric Daisy Carnival in the US. The Modestep live show has ignited crowds from Reading to Sydney to Las Vegas to Moscow to Ibiza – the band has played to 1.5 million people in 2012 alone. Evolution Theory will be released digitally on February 12 with a physical release out March 5.

It isn't every day you find a restaurant that can make you weak in the knees. But Church's® isn't just any restaurant. Here, we hand-batter every piece of our chicken. We drizzle our biscuits with sweet honey-butter right out of the oven. And we make them both in small batches all day long, so they're always hot and fresh. We put all that love into our food so when you taste it, you get love out of it.
When people fall in love with Church's®, it usually starts with our original chicken. Hand-battered and made in small batches all day long, this crunchy, juicy chicken may actually change your life. We're not saying it's the reason you'll get up in the morning, but every day you have this chicken is a great day.
Our spicy chicken marinates all night long. And it could make you cry. Maybe it's because you didn't think chicken could taste this amazing. Or because all that spice is like a swift kick in the tear ducts. Either way, get ready to experience layers and layers of incredibly spicy flavor in each bite.
How do you choose between Buffalo, Honey BBQ and Sweet & Spicy? Who says you have to choose? Go ahead and get as many of these made-to-order wings as you want. If you love them, that's all that matters.
Our Tender Strips® are huge strips of all-white meat chicken that are hand-battered just like our bone-in chicken. They're juicy, crunchy and big enough for the biggest appetite. Order them in spicy or original.
Anything would taste good between two slices of buttery Texas toast. But the fact that we make this sandwich with our crispy all-white meat Tender Strips® topped with fresh lettuce, pickles and mayo is a huge bonus. If you love all things delicious, you'll love this crazy good sandwich.
A crispy chicken sandwich topped with mayo and fresh lettuce. What more is there to say? Love, served on a sesame seed bun.
Two chicken patties cooked to golden perfection, topped with lettuce and mayo on a sesame seed bun. It's even got two slices of American cheese. That's double the love.
We don't serve 160 million biscuits every year because people like them. We serve that many because people are head-over-heels in love with them. These things are scratch-made in small batches all day long, and drizzled with honey butter the second they come out of the oven. They don't just "sell like hotcakes." They sell like our honey-butter biscuits, which is faster.
Before you even get to the potatoes, let's talk about silky, savory, rich gravy. OK, now that we've done that, imagine it poured over a generous portion of smooth, whipped, delicious mashed potatoes. Now get in your car and get down here.
We fry things. It's what we do. So of course we have the best fries. Crinkle cut and crisp, they're the perfect accompaniment to our chicken. But they're good enough to have all by themselves.
We take mac & cheese, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, then bake it to golden perfection. A fork never had it so good.
There's a trick that old-school Church's® guests have been doing for decades. But they don't exactly run around telling everyone about it, so we're telling you now. Order a side of jalapeño peppers and squeeze the juice onto your chicken. In-the-know Church's® eaters have been rolling like that since 1952.
Bomb your taste buds with fried spicy jalapeño bits and creamy cheddar cheese. More than just a burst of spice, it's a delicious explosion of textures and flavors. Crispy, then smooth, then silky soft. With a buttery kick of spice in every bite.
Some people order it because it's creamy, tangy and delicious. Others order it because it's the perfect way to cool down your mouth after taking a bite of our spicy chicken.
Sweet, buttery and bursting with flavor. Our corn is like the dessert of the vegetable world.
If you're from the South, you understand how passionate people can get about fried okra. And you also know how hard it is to get right. Church's® fried okra is cut into delicious bite-sized bits, then fried to the perfect level of crisp.
Juicy apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon and wrapped in a flaky crust that will make your mouth water. Everyone should eat their recommended daily allowance of fruit. And this is the perfect way to do it.
Even our sauces come with kick. If you love an extra dose of heat, this is the sauce for you.
This sauce makes everything taste amazing. We haven't tried it yet with our apple pie, but it wouldn't surprise us if it made that even better too.
Everyone loves honey mustard on chicken. That's because it's sweet and tangy and pretty awesome.
Rich, creamy and tangy. Just three tasty reasons why it's a favorite with our famous chicken.

You know, I wasn't expecting very exciting pictures from Answer Me 1994′s first script read, but then I saw Go Ara. She came to the reading dressed in character! How cute is she? The actress ditched her long tresses and her usual ingenue look for a short bob and came dressed in '90s style du jour. She looks like a different person altogether, and I have to say, that kind of dedication and enthusiasm makes her really endearing in my eyes.
In this follow-up drama to last year's cable phenom Answer Me 1997, fangirl madness will still be at the center of the story. Go Ara plays a diehard basketball fan, who is particularly obsessed with basketball player Lee Sang-min. Ah, so he's this year's Tony Oppa? I adore that she came to the script read with a team t-shirt on, looking every bit the part.
She plays the daughter of Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa, who run a boardinghouse for Kyungsangdo kids transplanted in Seoul. Jung-woo (You're the Best, Lee Soon-shin), Yoo Yeon-seok (Gu Family Book), and Kim Sung-kyun (Covertly Grandly) play three of the college boys who live in the house.
It'll be a campus-set drama in the era of the basketball craze and Seo Taiji and Boys, and promises the same kind of warm family drama that was at the heart of Answer Me 1997, along with the PD and writer's particular brand of throwback pop culture nostalgia. Shooting begins at the end of the month, and the premiere has been pushed back to October. Ack. Just what I need — a clusterfuck of crack dramas. Let's hope some of them are actually good; I mean, we might as well be rewarded for the crazy, right?
Answer Me 1994 premieres in Octobergeddon on tvN.

I had a popper guide trip to PNP. A few of the gearboys had landed some coho and my client had three big follows and boils. He was a bass fisherman from Oklahoma and was pretty quick on the trigger. He pulled the popper away from the first two fish. On the third, after I told him to continue to strip when they boil after the fly, he hooked a big nasty one, but was too quick to get his rod from under his arm and into reeling position. Arrrrghhhhh!
The fish never showed. If you happened to be casting when they showed up, you hooked up.
I rinsed my waders off in the Sno this morning. I didn't land catch or land any but I know where one lives now.
