National Inclusive Education Month
Did you know that February is Nation Inclusive Education Month? Do you have a good understanding of what inclusive education looks like? Check out the list of questions below - is this how school looks for you, for someone you care about, or someone in your class? For more information on inclusive education email Do I have a cubby or place to put my coat and backpack just like my classmates? Do I have a seat at circle that includes all the items my classmates have like a carpet square and name tag? Do I have a classroom job just as my classmates? Do I get to take a turn doing group activities? Do I have the oppertunity to participate in "messy" activities when available, even though I may be a little messier than others? During regular activities am I in similar position to my classmates? (i.e. my classmates are standing - I am standing, etc)? Can I physically get to all the activities in the classroom (reach into the sensory table, get toys from shelves)? Is there something I know how to use and can use independandtly in each learning center? Do I have the oppertunity to sometimes be in the front and middle of the line during transitions? Am I usually participating in the same or similar activities as my classmates (though they might be adapted)? Do I have the chance to be the "helper" on occasion? Am I an active participant in classroom activities (not just an observer)? Do my teachers and classmates talk to me, ask me questions, play with me? Do I have friends in my class?

Are you obsessed with counting calories, and accounting for every morsel you put into your mouth? Dieting and counting calories can be beneficial, and can help us "reset" healthy eating habits if we've over-indulged. But, for many of us this can become an unhealthy obsession. Here, I will show you how I stay on track without counting calories, so you can too!
There were times in my life that I have been obsessed with recording every calorie and fat gram I consumed. I have done this not only when I was trying to lose a few pounds, but also to maintain my weight.
For every recipe I prepared that did not provide nutritional information, I would enter each ingredient into a recipe calculator. Talk about tedious! Accounting for every calorie and every gram of protein, carbs, and fat eventually became a daily habit.
Losing weight is a struggle, for sure. But, so is maintenance. It's so easy to get off track!
For my entire life, I've either been "on a diet" or in "strick maintenance mode". It's always been a priority. I've been able to maintain a reasonable weight, with a fairly strict diet and consistent exercise. Through the years I have learned a lot by researching various diet programs, fitness routines and recipes for weight loss and maintenance. I work out at home reglarly, sometimes on the treadmill, but mostly with DVD's and my ultimate fave, Beachbody On Demand.
One day I decided that I was sick of feeling "obligated" to log everything I ate. The quest for healthy eating had become an unhealthy obsession.
I realized that I already knew
- what was healthy
- what I was supposed to be eating, and
- how much I should be eating
I think you do too.
After years of experience and being obsessed with calorie counting, I finally realized that when it comes to our diets it's not necessarily the calories that "count", but these two factors:
- The nutritional value of the food we are putting in our bodies, and
- The quantity of the food we are eating
Stop Counting Calories for Good
Eat Clean
- If you eat clean you don't ever have to count calories – it's hard to over-eat healthy, whole foods like chicken breasts and broccoli.
- When you eat this way, your body will tell you when you've had enough. However, when you eat unhealthy foods like refined carbs, you will always feel hungry, and your body will continue craving more of the same.
- Try to maintain this style of eating most of the time. Allow for a cheat meal or special treat like candy or a hot fudge sundae, but make this type of food the exception, not the norm.
- Limit carbs. When you do consume carbs, eat whole wheat bread, rice, or pasta. But don't overdo it.
- Avoid drinking your calories. Sweetened drinks like calorie-laden coffees and sodas, as well as alcoholic beverages, add up quickly. They provide very little, if any nutritional benefit. They are not satisfying, so you will still feel hungry.
Practice Portion Control
- Use smaller plates and consciously try to start eating less at each meal.
- Eat slowly and without distraction so you can actually tell that you are no longer hungry.
- Measuring or weighing food can facilitate learning to eat smaller portions when you are starting out.
Measuring Food
- Measure foods, specifically foods high in fat (salad dressing, for example). It's easy to get off track by consuming too much fat. Measuring things like dressing will help you realize that you don't need very much to make your salad taste great. You'll also see that you can have the "good", regular dressing rather than the yucky fat-free stuff, in moderation.
- Get into the routine of measuring anytime you use butter, oils, dressings, etc. You will eventually have a feel for what 2 tablespoons looks like drizzled on your salad. Once you do, you won't have to measure anymore!
Weighing Food
- Use a kitchen scale to quickly and easily measure your portions. I have this one and have used it for years.
- It really is no trouble at all to get in the habit of using this to keep your portions in check. I honestly believe that our struggles with weight gain are not so much the result of what we are eating, but the quantity that we eat.
Portion Control Containers
These color-coded containers are perfect for portion control, with no measuring or weighing required!
Are you trying to lose weight? Or, are you having a hard time getting back to eating right after a vacation or the holidays? If so, consider a portion control meal plan.
The Portion Fix system has healthy meal plans and recipes, tailored to your goals. You will know exactly what foods to eat, and how much, to get back on track. You will even learn how to incorporate dessert and wine into your diet, the right way!
No Food is "Off-Limits"
Obsessively counting calories is unhealthy. You feel guilty when you eat something that "tastes good" or is "unhealthy" or "fattening". But, if you don't indulge, you feel deprived.
Been there, done that! For me, that feeling of deprivation would lead to overeating unhealthy, fatty foods. But when I decided to stop obsessing over every calorie, that changed.
Now, if I want something "fattening", I eat it. But, I don't feel the need to go crazy, because I no longer feel deprived. I know I can allow myself this treat once in a while, in moderation. No food is "off-limits".
Bethenny Frankel says this perfectly in her book, Naturally Thin. She says, "You can have it all, just not all at once." I enjoyed this book, and recommend it if you struggle with diet and calorie-counting obsession.
But What About Exercise?
I'm sure you've heard these sayings:
"80% of the way you look is a result of the food you eat."
"Abs are made in the kitchen."
"You can't out-train a bad diet."
"You can lose weight without exercise"
All of these are true. But you and I both know that a healthy lifestyle involves at least some moderate exercise.
Track your movement instead of your calories
Tracking our steps and setting a daily goal is a much more positive (and FUN) method of quantifying our fitness efforts. Use an activity tracker like Fitbit or Apple Watch. Set a goal for number of steps or calories burned, rather than counting calories in every morsel you put in your mouth.
I have the Fitbit Surge. You have probably noticed that I wear it all the time, except when I am going out. Yes, it's big and clunky, but it does the job!
I plan to eventually purchase an Apple watch. I love the way they look, and would definitely wear the Apple watch out with a casual outfit.
But, for the difference in price, the Fitbit does what I purchased it for – to count steps and calories burned. I love wearing it at home and while out just running errands. It's fun and motivating to see how everyday activities make such a difference. Just by wearing it to the grocery store, you will see a noticeable increase in your steps for the day!
This is helpful for activity planning, too. I try to schedule my errands all together on one day. So on errand day, I usually plan to take off working out. This way, I'm still fairly active on that day, even though I am not officially "exercising".
You Owe it to Yourself
Calorie-counting can be beneficial when you feel like you've gotten off-track. It's fine to use it for a limited time, to "reset" good eating habits, say after a vacation or the Christmas holidays.
But stop wasting precious time each day logging the nutritional value of every morsel! Calorie counting, for many of us, can be an unhealthy obsession.
After all these years of "dieting" and "trying to eat healthy", you know what and how much you should be eating. Practice being aware of what, and how much you consume. You owe it to yourself to stop counting calories for good.
You've got this!

The appearance in 2014 of In Certain Circles, a new novel from Elizabeth Harrower, was an important literary event. The author, who still lives in Sydney, had published nothing since 1966 and had repeatedly maintained that she had nothing more to say. In Certain Circles had been ready for publication in 1971, but Harrower withdrew it. In interviews over the intervening period, she gave a number of reasons for this decision but remained adamant that no one could read the manuscript. Fortunately, Michael Heyward at Text Publishing, who had recently reprinted her four earlier novels, persuaded her otherwise. Text published handsome hardback editions of In Certain Circles and A Few Days in the Country and other stories (2015), a collection of her short stories, more than half of which had appeared for the first time in that same year. With these two new books, and the republication of her small but powerful oeuvre, it is time to ask how we now understand Harrower's achievement and, as a consequence, how we might reconfigure the picture of mid-century Australian fiction.

Movie Review - She Sings to the Stars (Portland Film Festival)
Fannie Loretto stars as Mabel, an elderly woman living in a small house, a stone shack really, in the middle of a rocky, barren flatland. She does have her loyal pet dog and a patch of farmland where she grows corn or other garden vegetables. However, it's said that the water table has been ruined due to a local coal company. Any water has to be shipped to her from miles away. Meantime, her corn and garden are dying, drying up. She's calm and easygoing. She's quiet at first, but when she does speak, the impression is conveyed that she's lived quite an interesting life and brings with her a wealth of experiences to weather anything. She also brings faith and a strong spirituality that's deeply-rooted.
Larry Cedar also stars as Lyle, a white, middle-aged magician who is a bit washed-up or looks as about as dried-up as Mabel's corn. He's desperate for gigs and money that he'll play at rinky-dink malls in Santa Fe, all while wishing he were headlining in Las Vegas. He's down on his luck. Yet, he wears the traditional black-suit with a red bow-tie and top hat from which he pulls his pet rabbit. He seems like he's a classically-trained showman who cracks jokes and is personable. However, to him magic is just tricks. He doesn't believe in the true magic of what could be faith or even UFOs.
|Jesus Mayorga as 'Third'
Through a series of circumstances, Lyle and Third find themselves trapped at Mabel's house. The two men start at odds with each other. Both also start somewhat skeptical of Mabel's faith and her spiritual beliefs like Dana Scully from The X-Files. There isn't one who's naturally inclined to believe her like Fox Mulder, also from The X-Files. Neither Lyle or Third are FBI agents investigating a crime, such as a murder, but like Mulder and Scully, they encounter danger, the mysterious, the mystical and possibly the sci-fi before their attitudes change and come around to Mabel's way of thinking.
The second, or one of the other early references, is to The Twilight Zone, and for the longest time, Corcoran's film feels like it could have been ripped from the mind of Rod Serling. Lyle feels like a typical, Serling protagonist, a man well-suited for the late 50's and early 60's time-period, trying to reconcile the physical from the metaphysical through circumstance or interpersonal interaction. Third is a version of that or not that far from it.
Corcoran's script along the way subtly delivers issues plaguing the Native American and Mexican community whether it's poverty, assimilation, injustice, encroachment, unhealthy eating, etc., without being didactic or heavy-handed. This movie can also feel like spending the day with one's own grandmother being cared for and educated by her. Loretto is a warm and eventually comforting presence. She can be stern but never really has to be. Without even being touched, she's like a warm hug.
It may be a reach but there are slight, queer themes that one could pull from this. Both men express having women in their lives, but both also express disinterest in those women, mainly to pursue careers in the arts. Third asks Lyle about his wife, and he acts as if she doesn't exist because he's more intrigued by the man beside him. Lyle asks Third about some dolls he was going to sell, but Third says he's keeping them in an affirmative that he's not denying a part of himself anymore. At one point when one assumes the two might separate, there's an acknowledgment of their couple-hood moving forward.
Corcoran might simply intend a platonic relationship, or slight bromance as a future prognostication. Yet, assigning a queer label to them might also not be that far fetched. It was nice either way to immerse oneself in this world and with these people. Corcoran has crafted a nice slice of life here.
Five Stars out of Five.

Looking for Testers for Web Browser Plugin
Posted by ohcaption on 7/21/2017 at 12:07 PM
Have you ever been browsing Facebook and read "Your Really Awesome Friend loved a post by Memes Make The World Go Round" only to have your screen reader tell you "Image may contain text, 1 outdoors"?
My name is Patrick. I have been working on a Web Browser plugin that allows sighted people to provide ALT text and/or image captions for images shared on social media sites.
I am looking for four or five screen-reader-dependent people who are willing to test my browser plugin and give me feedback on it. I have tested it a good deal myself, but since I do not depend on a screen-reader nor am I proficient in even the small subset of screen-readers to which I have access, my testing can only go so far.
I would expect that you can do a decent job testing and providing feedback in two to three hours of your time. I am working out of my own pocket for this, but I am able to pay four to five people $75 each for their effort.
If you use the Chrome web-browser and are interested in being considered for this, please send me email telling me which screen-reader (or readers) you use on which operating systems and a rough indication of your computer comfort-level. I am trying to maximize my screen-reader and operating system coverage and get a mix of computer experience so I will likely not be able to hire everyone who applies. I promise, I will open the next phase of testing to a wider audience.
Thank you,
Patrick Stein

Quick Reference
Fictional setting in northern Mississippi for the saga of 14 novels and many stories by William Faulkner. Based on Lafayette County and its capital, Oxford, Faulkner's mythical land, whose capital is called Jefferson, has an area of 2400 square miles and a population of 6298 whites and 9313 blacks, according to the map that its creator printed in the 1951 edition of Absalom, Absalom! The name of the county is presumably of Chickasaw derivation, for these Indians, such as Ikkemotubbe, are presented as the original possessors of the land. In order of their publication, the novels set in whole or in part in this land are Sartoris, The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Sanctuary, Light in August, Absalom, Absalom!, The Unvanquished, The Hamlet, Intruder in the Dust, Knight's Gambit, Requiem for a Nun, The Town, The Mansion, and The Reivers, and the stories set there include "The Bear" and other tales in Go Down, Moses.

If you're incredibly wealthy, you might get the good stuff - bionic legs, or a floating mansion with an invisible jacuzzi.
One London law firm has done its best to look into the high-tech world to come, though, by accepting much-hyped virtual currency bitcoin as payment.
Sheridans, which provides services to the IT sector, said it had been invited to accept the digital currency by a number of clients, although it still issues its invoices in sterling.
Concerns have been raised over the stability of bitcoin, which so far has mainly been used to buy things on the burgeoning online black market. However, it is beginning to enter the mainstream to some extent, as this not-at-all-an-advertising-gimmick move by Sheridans shows.
Eitan Jankelewitz, an associate solicitor in Sheridans' digital media group, told Legal Futures the firm links up with a payments processing company that converts the currency into good old-fashioned sterling.
Clients making payments do so based on a calculation that is only valid for 15 minutes, which helps off-set any concerns on the fluctuation of the currency's value.
"It wasn't a decision that was made overnight; we considered it in depth and consulted all the relevant members of the partnership," added Mr Jankelewitz.
Nigel Miller, a founding partner of Fox Williams, said caution will be needed when utilising bitcoin for business transactions but admitted that it could become important in the future.
"It shows a direction of travel for digital currencies. I think there is a future for it - not necessarily bitcoin but for some form of electronic currency," he declared.
A recent report by financial services company JPMorgan called bitcoin "vastly inferior" to its real-life counterparts, but they'll be the first against the wall when the robot revolution comes.

Misery and company
It's been said that misery enjoys company. Regardless, I never would have imagined that any sane individual might project erroneous and/or biased perceptions onto any caregiver. A caregiver? Would that be caregivers to chronically ill elderly individuals? Would that also be frail elderly individuals who have multiple, long-standing medical chronic disease diagnoses?
Could such bias include frail elders like my mother whom I needed to physically lift regularly, up to and including out of her lift chair in my home, her too-low for elder comfort doctors' office seating, her pillow-padded seat at my dining table, and out of her bed each morning?
I don't quite get this one yet, perhaps? Some caregivers like me buy and just as quickly toss soft pillows by the second to avoid needless urine-soaked odors in our homes. Does that mean some caregivers like me don't enjoy recycling? Does that mean that some caregivers would rather toss and keep pace with what all matters in care than keeping financial receipts and mounting laundry? If I did, surely I'd need a psychiatrist, instead of just respite?
Caregivers and our elders report and contribute to social discussions if not too exhausted. You decide who's on first.
Apparently the chronic and progressively debilitating diseases generally associated with old age and unpaid family caregiving occasionally become lightning rods for those who are perceived to be caregivers living our lives on Easy Street, USA? Financially, housing, unemployment, independence of living and more are all on Easy Street, USA? Who knew?
There's something that makes me laugh – out loud!
LOL means laughing out loud, if only in cyberspace.
For those familiar with eldercare, unconditional love within families and human dignity or respect in healthcare, surely we have a common understanding of the words: "Laugh to keep from crying?" If there is no laughter [or lol] in your life, or mine, I'd say you and/or I are either taking ourselves way too seriously, or simply do not have a sense of humor. Either extreme in living begs counseling and introspection. Matter of fact, all living invites introspection, respite and laughter, as well as healing tears, and so much more. That's the short list!
I can't begin to think of any other unpaid family caregiver's days of care with an elder as a leisurely stroll in the park. While there are rogues in every walk of life and society, in every race, color and creed, my guess is that the vast majority of caregivers in eldercare need more, rather than less sleep, up to and including occasional all-day rest and respite. Every human being needs rest, renewal and recharge.
If you know a caregiver who sleeps the day away, starves his or her elder to death, takes the elder's money and runs, you're onto criminal activity. Get thee to the police, please! Thankfully, such eldercare situations are few and far between, or not as prolific as some may choose to believe and/or project unto others, perhaps.
Perspective is everything
Then again, that's just my lens. I choose to not super-impose my caregiving worldview and/or culture on my fellow caregivers. I'm no expert. I am blessed to be allowed to contribute to the social discussion on eldercare, healthcare and patient advocacy issues without having to stick to a professional line of work that only rarely reflects the values I have always cherished.
For someone like me, life doesn't get much better than eldercare, healthcare, caregiving and social advocacy issues. It's called older, wiser, honoring one's elders, and the eternal continuum that is life.
New to ElderCareLink.com?
If you are a new visitor to ElderCareLink.com's Blogs and Other Resources for caregivers, below you'll find a few of my older blogs and articles. The featured blogs may shed light on my undying outlook that caregiving to my beloved octogenarian mother is and will remain a blessing in my life.
Within my cyber social caregiving support group management and unrelated social networking online, and over the years, I have been nothing short of consistent in boldly proclaiming that "were it not for my mother and father…." – as in the only parents I ever have known since I was an infant – "…I would not be who I am or where I am today." That still holds true today.
In Spanish, there is a popular saying, "*Padre es el que cría."
Among my online and offline circle of acquaintances and social networks, I always proclaimed that as a child, I "…wanted to be like my mother, the domestic goddess." Nothing has changed in that regard in my heart, spirit, or life. A non-literal *translation of the "padre…." Spanish saying is that biological parenting does not a true parent make. I've always said I would have done the same for my Dad "had he outlived my mother." That still holds true – for me.
"Domestic goddess" will always be in the eyes of the beholder.
At 85 years of age, my mother remains the "domestic goddess," who taught me how to love God, family, choose my friends carefully, test every spirit to determine the source of the person's influence, learn how to cook, enjoy home and garden, live confidently, and so much more, including don't look to human beings whom you do not know for money when you have a Mom and Dad who don't want you to [fall] for financial lures used by devious types in this world. Uh, that is my definition of a domestic goddess and Dad whom I will always adore based on how much they both paid forward.
Your family's past only matters as much as you and I allow it to become front and center of our daily living. For many caregivers, though, we have too much to do in our lives than to waste time looking back. Each day, each moment is precious. We may never walk this way again.
"Live Strong" is a corporate brand.
As the Lance Armstrong Foundation has long affirmed publicly, "Live Strong." Whether living strong, and/or being a domestic goddess and mentor to a child and/or advocate for elders of your tribe depends exclusively on the lens in which you (and I) choose -this day, and every single day for the rest of our lives.
Life's good, blessed, still good, but that depends on whether you're looking back – or doing the emotional and psychological work that life calls each of us to do. It's all good!
What say you?
I'm blessed, though perhaps not for reasons someone else may think.
Older ElderCareLink.com blogs and/or articles by Isabel Fawcett, SPHR
- I'm a proud descendant of carers (1st ECL blog)
- Role models are mentors in caregiving
- Caregiver worldviews are as diverse as our days are long
There are hundreds of articles and/or blogs I have been allowed to contribute right here at ElderCareLink.com. I have chosen but a few of my older writings to illustrate that in eldercare, [keeping it real] is a time-saver – not "acting to the finish line" for a caregiver like me. Below is a long-ago written tribute to someone I deeply admire based on the individual's non-pretentious view of what being "at home" and/or staying "at home" means to her now that she is a retired nursing administrator. Her credentials don't matter. Her service does!
"Call to volunteer ignores largely invisible corps of volunteers" is not just 1 former nursing administrator's worldview. It happens to be a worldview to which I have long since ascribed. As my Daddy always said, "No man on his deathbed ever said he wished he had spent more time at work." I know I won't either. Life's work is like life 101. Roads go ever, ever on.Posted in Caregiving, Caring At Home, Stress | No Comments »

Brad Sowder - Oklahoma City, OK
Meteorologist Brad Sowder serves as the weekday morning meteorologist for KOCO 5 News. In addition to his studio forecasting, Brad is a featured storm chaser during severe weather, giving viewers a close up look at storms live from the field.
Question 1. What was your most memorable weather event?
May 2013 - There was dangerous, severe weather nearly everyday the last two weeks of the month - with my family having to take shelter, numerous violent tornadoes, including Moore and El Reno, these were some of the scariest weather events I had ever experienced. We had just moved to Oklahoma 6 months prior, and being my first storm season in Oklahoma, I seriously wondered if I had really messed up in moving my family to what seemed to be such a dangerous place.
Question 2. What is your favourite and least favourite type of weather?
Favorite: Playing in the snow - working during snow events can get a little busy
Least: High heat with extreme humidity
Question 3. If you weren't a meteorologist what would you most like to be?
Hard answer when this is all you've wanted to do since you were a kid. But if I was forced into something else, I would most likely be an outdoor recreational guide. My wife says I'd be a lawyer since I like to argue, so I guess I have options.
Question 4. From a purely meteorological point of view, where would you most like to live?
Colorado's front range - every weather event is huge.
Are you on Facebook? Do you enjoy sharing and viewing landscape and weather photographs with industry experts? If so why not join the StormHour Closed group by clicking here. We think you'll like it! (We've kept it 'closed' to protect members privacy)
Question 5. Is there anything else you'd like to share?
The future of multi-media (broadcast) meteorology remains very bright. Even with all of the current weather platforms available, the public still wants the human experience. That said, we have to remain excellent communicators face to face and not become the rest of the digital noise. We always need to be willing to change because everything else is changing whether we want it to or not. If we don't move with the current culture, we will no longer be relevant.
More about Brad
Prior to joining KOCO 5 News, Brad served as Meteorologist for KOAA News 5 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Chief Meteorologist for KJCT News 8 in Grand Junction, Colorado.
He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Atmospheric Sciences/Meteorology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville. He holds CBM seal #284 from the American Meteorological Society, the highest level certification for broadcast meteorologists. KOCO 5's First Alert Weather team is independently certified as delivering the most accurate forecast in Oklahoma City by WeatheRate, an independent scientific organization that measures accuracy in weather forecasts across the country.
Throughout his career, Brad has forecast and covered all kinds of severe weather, from summer wildfires to winter blizzards to tornadoes. He enjoys keeping up with the latest developments in severe weather forecasting and coverage technology.
Brad enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter and is active in his church. He also enjoys the outdoors with cycling, mountain biking and winter sports among his favorites and describes himself as both a weather nerd and a tech junkie.

Merry Fishmas SoWal
December 29, 2012 by admin
I know, I know, it's been over 2 weeks since I sat down and wrote a fishin' report. To be honest I really didn't get out on the water much before Christmas. The weather wasn't really that great and I didn't have many trips booked.
As usual, I got booked solid from right before Christmas till New Year and the weather is making it tough to get many of those trips in. I launched the boat this morning with a forecast of "calm this AM , getting rough and rainy in the afternoon".
The prognosticator was off by about 6 hours 'cause after going about a mile offshore to catch bait at 7 AM, I called my anglers and told 'em we should cancel 'cause it was rough, and blowy and just going to get worse. Always better to be on the hill wishin' you were fishing than offshore wishin' you were on the hill!. The forecast for the next few days doesn't look real good either...
Yesterday afternoon on the other hand was beautiful. I took my 3 anglers out and they had a wonderful time. Cool temps but calm seas and a great bite. My folks landed 15 (yep fifteen) fine gags, as well as a bunch of Red Snappers that we released. We 2 hook fished enough to get a bunch of freezer fish but they were more interested in "Glory fish". For a 4 hour trip we burned up a bunch of memory on the cameras with pics of big fish being held up.
He had the hot hook for an hour; every drop had a big bite...
This young Lady was so proud of this Grouper, but she had to take a break and catch her breath for a while after..
This gal is a local and loves to fish; she stayed excited the whole trip!
Some of the "smaller" fish we got to keep
The Sunday before Christmas was another one of those calm, pretty winter days and my anglers took advantage of the conditions by filling up the box. We started out Flounder fishing and they landed 22 in about an hour. Then 3 miles out to bottom fish. We found a couple schools of Jacks and got our limit of them, and then went on to catch a pile of Vermillions, a couple of Triggers and a few Pinks as well. I think I cleaned fish for 2 hours!
Plenty of fine Snapper around too!
And some BIG Sharks as well!
A great board but even more fish still in the box!
Back up inshore, the Trout and Redfish reports have been really good. I got tired of hearing about everybody else catching fish the week before Christmas, so my son and I took his boat up the river for a couple hours one afternoon to play some. While we didn't find many Trout to keep, we found some of the typical winter "throwbacks" and a great school of Reds. The Reds were all slot fish except for one that was probably over. We kept our 4 and came in happy to get to fish ourselves for a change.
Proof that the Capt. can fish too.
I have trips booked the next 3 days, but as I said, the weather looks iffy. We are going over to Indian Pass for New Years Eve and a couple days vacation after. As soon as I get back, I am going to shut everything else down and just work on getting the new boat ( yeah!) put together. I probably won't have another fishing report up for 3 weeks or so, but I'll try to get some new shiny boat photos posted when it's ready to go!
Happy New Year!!!

Because exploring Fairvue Plantation is so much more than shopping for a house, below you will find important information on the distinctive features and lifestyles that come with each neighborhood. Within each, there are custom homes carefully crafted to Fairvue Plantation architectural standards, along with homesites on which your personal dream home may be built.
Behind a gated entrance, with panoramic views across the five holes surrounding 35-acre Gracie Lake, this exclusive enclave of only 66 homesites lies in a setting of extraordinary beauty.
The homes in Gracie Lake are architecturally crafted to highlight the joys of living amid picturesque outdoor surroundings. Courtyards and private gardens are all part of the charm of these stylish residences. Cottage Villa style homes starting in the $300,000s and lakefront homes in the $500,000s are each masterfully crafted blending classical beauty and state of the art amenities.
The "village lifestyle" unites many of the best features of traditional neighborhood design with an incredible location along the front-nine of the Championship Links Course and the shores of Old Hickory Lake with interior homes priced from the $300,000s and lakefront from the $500,000s.
The landscaping maintenance of properties in Fairvue Village is included as part of the care provided through the Neighborhood Homeowners Association, giving Village residents more time to invest in sporting, dining and entertaining.
Located on two pristine points at Fairvue Plantation, The Coves offers picturesque settings and stunning lake views in this traditionally designed community. Classically inspired homes adorn the streets of The Coves. The immaculately landscaped Asher Trace Park give residents a place to socialize. The interior homesites feature elegant homes with rear alley access garages and front access garages, and the lake homesites feature stately homes with extraordinary views of Old Hickory Lake. Interior homesites at The Coves start in the $80,000s and lakefront homesites start in the low $200,000s. Homes in this unique community start in the $300,000s on the interior and the $700,000s on the lake. This neighborhood continues in the Fairvue Plantation tradition of providing a luxurious lifestyle with picturesque outdoor surroundings.
Golf - and the beauty and panache of living along the links - is central to the life that families find at Fairvue. No neighborhood offers the easy lifestyle of golf course living more than "The Fairways" with golf course homesites from the $100,000s and estate- sized golf view homes from the $400,000s.
From spectacular elevated sites along Chloe Drive, residents enjoy a vista of the five golf holes framing beautiful Gracie Lake. Other homes in The Fairways look back along the 15th, 16th and 17th holes to wonderfully long views of the Fairvue Mansion and the Old Hickory Lake shoreline.
Inspired by the lifestyle and architectural charms of villages in the French countryside, Arthur Rutenberg Homes and Botsko Builders Inc., have created an intimate neighborhood astride the 12th and 16th holes of the Championship Links Course.
Priced from the $400,000s, only a limited quantity of The Reserve's original 32 residences remain available. Each home is adorned with gas lanterns and built with a floor plan to accommodate entertaining and casual family gatherings.
Juliet balconies and beautifully landscaped courtyard scale patios help make views of the golf course, Gracie Lake and the Reserve's cozy streetscape as much a part of its homes interior design as their outstanding fireplaces and state of the art kitchens.
Created through a collaboration of custom builders, Jacob's Landing rivals the Peninsula as Fairvue Plantation's most highly valued and exclusive neighborhood.
Fully gated, it features only 19 homesites, most of which lie along a section of Old Hickory Lake shoreline coveted for its incredible waterfront vistas. With interior homes starting in the $500,000s and lakefront homes starting from the high $900,000s, bounded only by the desires of residents, Jacob's Landing is a destination for custom homes of extraordinary style, created amid astounding beauty by builders with exceptional reputations.
Fairvue Plantation's marvelous main street address, The Boulevard, is a picturesque collection of truly estate-level homes from the $600,000s to over $1 million. Among the largest and most prominently placed homesites in Fairvue, Boulevard residents enjoy the prestige of life along Fairvue's panoramic entrance way and sweeping views of the back-nine of the Championship Links Course.
The width of homesites on the Boulevard have inspired custom builders to craft many of Fairvue's grandest residences with motor arches and other mansionesque features befitting homes, setting the architectural tone for the community as a whole.
Although every neighborhood in Fairvue Plantation is unique, Jacob's Pointe, with its estate-size, gated lakefront and golf homesites is considered to be one of Fairvue's finest. Every home is crafted by custom builders with a high level of detail and enjoys vast views of Old Hickory Lake. Homes in Jacob's Point range from the $800,000s on the golf course and from $1.5 million to over $4 million on the lake.
A compound of only 51 homesites, the Peninsula has set an entirely new standard for exclusive, style-minded lakefront living in Nashville. With interior homesites from the $200,000s and lake homesites from the $400,000s, an investment in this rarest of neighborhoods is substantial and well-rewarded. Homes in this neighborhood range from the $900,000s on the interior and from $1.4 million and up on the lake.
Not only do Peninsula homesites provide the most secure and most impressive vistas in Fairvue, they are also the largest homesites and each enjoys the privacy that comes with life on a peninsula bounded only by water and a gated entry.

Joseph Conrad was Polish, born in 1857 into what was then a part of the Russian Empire. His father resisted the Russians and, as a result, the family was imprisoned in Warsaw, then in Vologda in Russia and finally Chernihiv in Ukraine where his mother died of Tuberculosis.
He wrote in English, and like Nabokov later, he wrote better than the vast majority of native speakers. His years in the British and the French merchant navies took him all over the world, and his works were set in Africa, south America, the pacific and Indian ocean islands and London amongst others. You should read him: he was almost alone writing in English from a truly global perspective and he was a genius, not like Bill Hicks was a genius or like Breaking Bad is like total genius dude, but the real thing.
Under Western Eyes was published in 1911 and was partly a reaction to Crime and Punishment, which he hated, along with its author. It tells the story of revolutionaries and the tsarist secret police in Saint Petersburg and of the émigré Russian community in Geneva. Here is a quote, the one that strikes a chord even now for anyone living in Russia. Whether he is right or wrong can be debated, but that he found the heart of the question is clear, for me at least. He writes:
"That propensity of lifting every problem from the plane of the understandable by means of some sort of mystic expression is very Russian. I knew her well enough to have discovered her scorn for all the practical forms of political liberty known to the western world. I suppose one must be a Russian to understand Russian simplicity, a terrible corroding simplicity in which mystic phrases clothe a naive and hopeless cynicism. I think sometimes that the psychological secret of the profound difference of that people consists in this, that they detest life, the irremediable life of the earth as it is, whereas we westerners cherish it with perhaps an equal exaggeration of its sentimental value."
This is the Russian soul again; it usually pops up just at the moment when you think you have persuaded your Russian friend to concede some point about freedom or justice or the possibility of finding what they desire. All those horrible facts and uncomfortable truths you have been discussing suddenly turn out to be irrelevant in the face of the mystery of the Russian Soul, Russkaya Dusha. And it is your lack of a Russian Soul, apparently, that renders you incapable of grasping what is really going on. If your Russian friend is of a literary turn he might give you the following quote from Fyodor Tyutchev:
"Russia cannot be understood with the mind alone,
No ordinary yardstick can span her greatness:
She stands alone, unique –
In Russia, one can only believe."
And it's tempting, oh God bless you it is, because it absolutely is a hard place to understand, as Churchill pointed out. Still if I had a ruble for every time a Russian had invited me to join them on the plane of the unknowable then I would have $5.50 by now.
This is the country that put a man into space and spent 70 years in a rationalistic materialism, though you could argue that they turned that into a form of mysticism too. This is where all the programmers come from, where maths is fun and where chess was a spectator sport, it's not as though they are fools, but given a choice between facing what is, including the part they have played in making it so, and heading into mysticville on the train marked "nothing is certain", many, not all, but many of them sprint for the ticket office. And when they take their seats they find Dostoevsky is the conductor and the Patriarch of the Orthodox church is up front in the gold plated drivers cabin, and it is warm in the wagon and safe and no one is playing the Kreutser Sonata.
Sure you can talk to Americans offering a version of reality so far removed from the truth as to be farcical, you can turn on FOX News and watch people being paid to lie. But behind it is the notion that truth exists, that one or other parties in the fight has a grasp of it. The idea that the truth cannot be known would strike even Glenn Beck as wrong. That argument belongs to the religious and the Russians. In 1911 or 2013 you can find that game being played.

It's over. Christmas shopping and over -eating.
Ham, cake, chippies, chocolate. All gone.
But where was the baby, gift-wrapped in hay,
Watched by shepherds and sheep? Gone.
Why did the kings from the East
Become a red man from the North,
And the manger become a sleigh?
Boxing Day, kerbside, by the bleeding tree,
Our rubbish bins full, their lids tilted
Like open beaks pleading more.
And we want more. We are insatiable.
Days later. What day is it? No one knows.
Sweep round comatose uncle Jack. Mind your toes.
No time to water. The lawn cracks. Who cares?
Same slack stained deckchairs. Same courtyard mess.
Same pohutukawa bleeding out,
Turning hard pavement into bruised distress.
Or is the tree just shedding its Christmas party dress
Preparing for New Year's Eve, more fake happiness.

The November 2002 List
June of 44 "Anisette" Tropics & Meridians [1996] // June of 44 helped me cross the sea of Heavy Metal and "Alternative" genres to the greener pastures of indie-rawk. In 1994 my best friend Markus Lunkenheimer introduced me to June of 44 (then Rodan) and (steve albini's) Shellac. This was the most aggressive but dynamic and sonicly rich music i had heard. This particular song is incredible to listen to on walkman while walking - the groove is such a pushing and pulling (oh my i love it!.) I love how they juxtapose the two guitars and bass with similar (but different) loops that mix and mingle. the quietness and the screaming - the anxiety and the peace...
Pavement "Cut Your Hair" Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain [1994] // At the time i heard this record i was listening to a lot of more 'heavy' groups and some jazz. My friend Jim brought this CD along with us on a road trip from Ames, Iowa to Eureka, California. Pavement's catchy hooks and good humor kept me going on the road. i must have listened to the tape i dubbed of this a hundred million times walking across campus - singing to myself in the car. Listening through it the other day i guess i was singing along pretty loud... my boss walked in and i realized that i was basically belting it out.
Smog "I Was A Stranger" Red Apple Falls [1997] // For a depressing year this album was my life. Not only do i love pedal-steel guitar - Smog always seems to sing what i would sing if i were blatantly honest and unredeemed. Here he makes an interesting statement: it's worse to be well-known than it is to be a stranger...
Palace Music "New Partner" Viva Last Blues [1995] // My studio mate gave me a mix tape that had a song called 'come little dog' by The Palace Brothers which didn't stand out a great deal to me at the time, but later that year i was flipping through records and saw this album and picked it up out of name recognition. Now Will Oldham (AKA: Palace Brothers, Palace Music, Bonny 'Prince' Billy) is my all-time favorite artist. I love how Will's lyrics create a visual picture in my mind's eye. WIll Oldham is to me what U2 is to Robert Toal.
Silver Jews "Pretty Eyes" The Natural Bridge [1996] // David Berman, singer/songwriter for Silver Jews writes the most beautiful, touching, and tragic lyrics... This song and album kicked off for me a period of thinking about music at the level of the 'song' - rather than: hook, voice, riff, instrumentation, lyric. Something about the rambling connections that the lyrics make through this song that endears it to me. David has a way of taking cliches and putting them to use - poking fun at the shallow nature of cliches while acknowledging the power that the phrases wield.
Simon Joyner "The Shortest Distance Between Two Points Is a Straight Line" Room Temperature [1993] // This guy has more lyrics... Did i mention i like depressing songs? This album brought me out of pop music. Was lucky enough to borrow this tape when i was still hungry for DIY musicians. Simon and his friend Chris ran a tape-label called 'Sing Eunuchs!' in Omaha. I used to send them tapes of my music in hopes of getting distribution. Chris and Simon always wrote encouraging letters in reply even when (as i look back) most of what i sent them was near-awful.
Pedro The Lion "Magazine" Control [2002] // Began hearing about David Bazan within Christian circles in 1998 but at the time was sorely disappointed with all Christian music and had only a passing interest. In late 1999 i went by myself to see Pedro The Lion (david's band) at Schubas before i had ever heard his music. I was blown away. The lyrics were honest and the music was tight. Pedro has gone from small shows at Schubas to packing the Metro and the music just keeps getting better. This is my favorite track from their newest. David has a way of using sarcasm to communicate truth to the cynical and pessimistic.
Richard Buckner "Once" Since [1998] // I first encountered Richard Buckner when i was reviewing CDs for my college radio station. There was a 'reject' bin that was free for the taking so i would grab about 20 every time i went in (most ending up back in the reject pile.) One reject batch included Buckner's album 'Devotion + Doubt' - which really threw me for a loop. it was clearly country music, but had what i considered to be a higher level of musicianship and lyrics/writing. it became a guilty pleasure of mine - what i was then calling indie-country (and now refer to as 'insurgent country'). this song is an example of what i like buckner for: impossibly sad-moody lyrics, melody driven tunes, great musicianship, country twang. His show at Schubas was incredible in 2000.
Low "Over The Ocean" The Curtain Hits The Cast [1996] // So smooth, so slow... sweet harmonies and a sadness that's not devoid of hope. Basically, this song gives me the shivers i find it so beautiful.
Cannonball Adderly "Autumn Leaves" (ft: Miles Davis, John Coltrane) Somethin' Else [1958] // Not sure what the original release was, but i first heard it on Julian Cannonball Adderly's "Somethin' Else." I went through a big jazz phase for a few years (94-97) but don't listen to it much anymore. this song is one of my favorites - i always want to hear it near the first snowfall of the year. something about the melody here that gets me going. the line-up on this is like late 50s jazz all stars. When these three were playing together... magic.

As part of my challenge to blog everyday in March I have been setting myself weekly themes. This weeks theme shall be a week of YouTube.
I have been relearning the WordPress platform from scratch and was watching a video about media files. I know what you're thinking, great story Kristian.
The video mentioned about YouTube videos URLs being able to be copied in and automatically pulled through. My mind decided I should spend a week talking about my favourite videos.
My little brother watches a lot of YouTube and is constantly sending me brilliant videos. These will likely be the videos I have watched the most rather than what has made me laugh recently.

HOUSTON (CN) – Apache Corp., an energy exploration firm, claims the New York City Comptroller and the city Teachers, Firefighters and Police Retirement Systems are unreasonably demanding that it prohibit sexual orientation and gender discrimination in its employee handbook and proxy statements, though Apache already has an equal opportunity employment policy.
Apache claims the defendant shareholders tried to make the SEC enforce their wishes, and when the SEC refused, threatened litigation.
Apache says that reprinting its proxy material will cost "several hundred thousand dollars," and would be pointless, since it already has an equal opportunity employment policy.
It claims the defendants asked the SEC to enforce their demands, which "include a prohibition against discrimination based on sexual discrimination in its employee policy statement."
Apache's federal complaint continues: "The NYC Comptroller's Proposal, which also concerns gender identity, appears to be a cookie-cutter proposal sent to dozens of companies every year. The NYC Comptroller's Proposal to Apache, however, goes far beyond matters of employment discrimination policies; instead, it asks Apache to take a number of actions with respect to Apache's ordinary business. For example, the Proposal seeks to impose restrictions on such ordinary business matters as Apache's 'allocation of employee benefits,' 'corporate advertising policy,' 'corporate advertising and marketing policy,' 'sale of goods and services,' and 'corporate charitable contributions.'"
Enough is enough, Apache says: "Apache Already Has An 'Equal Employment Opportunity Policy.' … (T)he NYC Comptroller did not offer any evidence – or even any suggestion – that Apache has discriminated against any potential or actual employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity or on any other basis, for that matter. The NYC Comptroller did not suggest that Apache has discriminated against anyone at any time for any reasons."
Apache says it sought, and received from the SEC, a "No Action" letter regarding its equal employment opportunity policy. Nonetheless, Apache says, "On April 4, 2008, the NYC Comptroller issued a press release saying that 'the New York city Pension Funds and his office are now exploring legal options such as appealing the SEC Staff decision to the full Commission and/or filing a lawsuit against Apache.'" Apache says this threat of litigation was repeated in an April 7 article in "Gay City News." On that day, Apache says, "a lawyer representing the NYC Pension Funds and the NYC Comptroller called Apache and indicated that they intended to file a lawsuit against Apache later this week."
Represented by Susman Godfrey, Apache seeks declaratory judgment.

Lauren Hennein, Jing Hou, Eugene Lowry, Jay M Stewart, Ying Han; Comparison of Surgical Outcome after Ahmed Valve Implantation for Glaucoma Patients With and Without Fluocinolone Intravitreal Implant (Retisert ®). Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2014;55(13):3182.

The effectiveness of glaucoma surgery is limited by the natural healing process of the eye. Glucocorticoids reduce scar formation and intraocular pressure (IOP) when administered post-operatively. These benefits may be greater if the time of exposure to steroid activity is increased. This study investigates whether long-term, slow-release exposure to glucocorticoids with Retisert promotes better surgical outcomes after Ahmed valve implantation in glaucoma patients.
Medical records were reviewed for 75 eyes (64 patients) who had an Ahmed valve implantation for medically uncontrolled glaucoma. Seventeen eyes (10 patients) were study eyes with uveitis requiring Retisert implantation, and 58 eyes (54 patients) were control eyes with uveitis and other types of glaucoma which did not receive Retisert. IOP, glaucoma eye drops, early complications (within the first month), and late complications (after the first month) were recorded at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up. Statistical analysis was done with a Fisher's Exact Test for dichotomous outcomes and a Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test for continuous outcomes.
The population receiving Retisert was younger, more likely to have uveitic glaucoma than the control population (P<0.01). Baseline IOPs were 32.62 mmHg for Retisert eyes and 30.16 mmHg for control eyes (P=0.29). The IOPs for Retisert eyes at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were 13.59, 14.76, 15.38, and 12.24, respectively. The IOPs for control eyes at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were 13.75, 17.16, 17.71, and 15.17, respectively. The Retisert eyes were found to have lower IOP at one-year follow-up (P=0.028). Baseline numbers of glaucoma drops were 4.1 for Retisert eyes and 4.2 for control eyes (P=0.85). At one-year follow-up, the number of glaucoma eye drops taken for the Retisert and control eyes were 1.4 and 2.3, respectively (P=0.011). There were no significant differences in early complications or late complications.
Patients who received a Retisert implantation had lower IOP and fewer glaucoma eye drops compared to control eyes at one-year post-Ahmed valve surgery. This study suggests that long-term, slow-release glucocorticoid medication may improve the surgical outcome for patients with an Ahmed valve implantation. Prospective studies comparing patients with better matched etiologies of glaucoma are indicated.

The Indiana attorney general plans to appeal to the state Supreme Court last month's decision by the Indiana Court of Appeals to overturn the conviction of Paul Gingerich, believed to be the youngest person in Indiana ever sentenced to adult prison.
Gingerich pleaded guilty in adult court to helping his friend Colt Lundy kill Lundy's stepfather in Kosciusko County in 2010. Gingerich was 12 when the murder was committed.
The appeals court threw out the conviction and 25-year sentence, ordering the case go back to juvenile court. Attorneys claim Gingerich wasn't competent to stand trial as an adult because of his age.
Thursday's appeal means the now 14-year-old will remain in the custody of the Department of Correction until the Indiana State Supreme Court makes a ruling.

Lin witness breaks down in court
A KEY witness in the Lin family murder trial broke down on Tuesday as a 000 recording of the moment she found the bodies of her relatives was played in court.
Kathy Lin, 41, made the hysterical call when she discovered the battered bodies of her sister, brother, his wife and two nephews in their North Epping home on July 18, 2009.
Her husband, Robert Xie, is accused of carrying out the massacre as an act of revenge against Ms Lin's brother.
According to the Herald, Ms Lin was recorded screaming at the operator "I need an ambulance. I need an ambulance" before saying "I think somebody's killed - I think somebody's killed my brother's family".
Ms Lin, whose legal team has repeatedly requested she not give evidence, reportedly sobbed as the recording was played.
The trial continues

The sugar coating that makes health messages easy to swallow
Contemporary street art has a long and proud history of setting hearts racing and tongues waging. The unique combination of artistic styles and locations has created a culture of excitement and intrigue around street art in most cities around the world.
These spectacular pieces of art often amplify strong public messages and have the capacity to educate and inform huge numbers of people.
A recent collaboration between Common Ground Adelaide and internationally acclaimed painter and creator Joel Moore, aka Vans the Omega, is a spectacular example of positive storytelling through street art.
As one of the many artists providing amazing examples of work to encourage others and spread educational messages, Joel is inspired by the flexibility and opportunity that painting provides and has incorporated ideas about shared community into his design for Common Ground.
"This piece features a mother and son – which both embodies this message and portrays the unique work Common Ground is doing in the CBD as a housing provider which can now help single parents and children," Joel says.
"The contemporary yet realistic faces of the woman and boy give a sense of community and a personal touch which is what Common Ground is all about.
"When it comes to art you want something that makes you go "wow". You want something that makes you stop in your tracks and you want to take some time from the world to admire what the artwork is."
Postdoctoral Fellow in Global Health and NCDs at Harvard Medical School and Assistant Professor at the Copenhagen School of Global Health, Dr Alessandro Demaio, also believes street art actually has the ability to communicate complex health messages.
Trained as a medical doctor in Melbourne, Dr Demaio went on to work at The Alfred Hospital and complete a Masters in Public Health including field-work in Cambodia.
In a piece published in The Conversation, Dr Demaio discusses how because we are being bombarded with more and more information from an earlier age, effectively communicating health messages is becoming more complex.
"In the digital age and noise of 2015, how do we connect tomorrow's health with the 'under 20s' of today?," he asks.
"Might a 2.0 approach to health promotion that includes street art be an option?"
You can read Dr Demaio's article here…. and we would love to hear about some examples of street art sending out positive messages in your community.
