It doesn't matter which industry you are interviewing for; it's always essential to make your best first impression. Many candidates mistakenly dress down when they are interviewing for a "blue-collar" job in the manufacturing industry. But you can give a hiring manager the impression that you aren't serious about a job when you show up in ripped jeans, a tee shirt, and worn-out sneakers.
While it might not be necessary to wear a suit and tie (for men) or a business suit (for women), you probably shouldn't dress below "business casual." Here are a few suggestions for looking professional at your next manufacturing interview:
What is business casual?
Business casual isn't a style that's chiseled in granite. It means different things to different people. But most of them agree on a few things. Men should wear trousers or khakis, a shirt with a collar, and shoes with hard soles. A jacket or blazer is optional. No need to wear a tie.
For women, business casual means trousers or a skirt that's knee-length or longer and a shirt with a collar or a blouse. Stay away from jeans, yoga pants, sneakers, or any athletic gear.
Can you overdress for a manufacturing job interview?
There is a school of thought that believes an interview is always a formal event that requires more formal attire. Dressing this way shows professionalism and respect for your interviewer and the company, they assert. Even if you are going to dress casually for your manufacturing job, it is much better to wear formal interview attire to make the best impression.
Others think that while you should dress neatly, being too buttoned-up and formal might send the message that you are using this job as a stepping stone to bigger things. Dress for the job you are applying for, they say, not for the position of a company executive.
You'll have to decide which philosophy works for you.
Are their rules for hair and accessories?
Yes, there are some general rules. First of all, make sure your hair is clean, combed, or brushed. Also, it's usually better to be on the conservative side with your hair. Loud colors and flamboyant styles could work against you. You don't want anything distracting from your skills and bringing your professionalism into question.
As far as accessories go, the fewer, the better. Facial piercings can ruin your chances immediately. And manufacturing facilities look at rings, bracelets, and necklaces as safety hazards. So, remove the tongue piercing and leave the dangling earrings in your jewelry box. You're here to get hired, not to make a fashion statement.
Do you need more help getting a manufacturing job?
We can help you. Get in touch with HCR Personnel Solutions, a leading manufacturing recruitment agency in Canada that recruits top professionals for exceptional career opportunities.

Funny movies have long been a hit in the children's movie market, but comedy
films made for an adult audience have always had to compete with a wider
variety of genres. Despite the challenges, there have been many commercially
successful funny movies produced over the years and by funny movies, I
mean the kind the make you laugh out loud, not the ones that are so strange
they leave you scratching your head (although there are plenty of those,
Different organizations have compiled top five, top ten, and top 100 lists
of funny movies. Many of these lists are available online, but if you take
a look at the rankings, the same movies are higher or lower on the list
depending on who has compiled it. Despite the differences in opinion, however,
there seems to be a number of funny movies that appear on almost every all-time
funniest movies list. Some of the titles included in this elite list are:
Airplane! (1980), Dr. Strangelove (1964), The Graduate (1967), Young Frankenstein
(1974), and Blazing Saddle (1974).
All of these films are more than a quarter century old. For those of you
favour more contemporary work, here are some of the more recent, although
not universally acknowledged, funny movies: There's Something About Mary
(1998), Meet the Parents (2000), Happy Gilmore (1996), Dumb & Dumber
(1994), and Fargo (1996).
So what makes funny movies so funny? Witty dialogue, with quick comebacks
and keen delivery are common themes in funny movies, but every
viewer has his or her own view of what's funny and what makes a funny movie.
While some viewers prefer the pie in the face' silliness of classic slapstick
comedy, others will react to dry humor, satire or romantic comedy.
With so many funny movies available today, it's not surprising that everyone
has their own opinion about what will make an audience laugh.

Fifth Third Bank and National Bank Naming Conventions
So the Cecil's Classic posted today is "What Gives with Fifth Third Bank," http://www.straightdope.com/columns/...th-third-bank/, about the bank's odd name. It seems a really odd column, strangely lacking in that it does almost nothing to explain why Fifth Third Bank has its distinctive name. Yes, it was formed by the merger of the Fifth National Bank and the Third National Bank, but why were banks called that in the first place?
A little historical background is helpful: The current national banking system dates from 1863, when the National Bank Act of 1863 was passed. Until then commercial banks were chartered by the states, and of course the majority of them continue to be state-chartered today, but national banks were subject to higher standards and were seen as having more credibility. State banks that could meet the new standards were invited to switch to a national charter, and many did.
National banks are regulated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (specifically, by a Treasury unit called the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, but that wasn't established until 1864). The Secretary of the Treasury in 1863 was Salmon P. Chase, and he insisted on a distinctive naming system for national banks: the first national bank in X City would be the First National Bank of X City, the second would be the Second National Bank of X City, and so forth.
Cecil is flat-out wrong when he says that "in the 19th century, bankers (and church elders) were immune to the shove-to-the-front-of-the-line mindset that curses our times and instead cheerfully acknowledged their place in the natural order of things." (Well, he's wrong about bankers; I don't know about church elders.) Bankers hated this naming system with a passion. Typically they had well-established names as state banks, and they had to give that up to be, say, the Sixth National Bank of X City? Many state banks refused to make the change, specifically for that reason. But enough did that larger cities like Cincinnati would have a number of national banks.
Chase's naming system is long gone, and all the banks that once were named Second National Bank, Third National Bank, and so forth have changed their names to more felicitous appellations. Only the First National Banks are happy with that moniker. And Fifth Third Bank, I guess, although that hybrid version isn't really what Chase had in mind.
And what about the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency? Why do they call it that, and is there an actual Comptroller of the Currency? Until Federal Reserve Banks were established in 1913, bank notes (you know, dollar bills and such) were issued by commercial banks. So bank regulation was of crucial importance to protect the currency against devaluation from unsound banking. Now the name has only historical meaning, but the office in charge of national bank regulation is still called that due to bureaucratic inertia and perhaps a fondness for the now archaic name. And there is a real Comptroller of the Currency, who heads the OCC; currently it's a man named Joseph Otting.
Didn't dislike the original article, but very good. Thank you.

If you both want to stay in the relationship, you will make it work. I don't see how 3 months apart, when there are soooo many ways to stay in touch, could make a relationship fall apart if both people are invested.
His pet gripes are women who try to move along the relationship too fast and make more out of it than he's ready for. In other words, or lets use his EXACT WORDS.....I don't want her toothbrush in my bathroom.

The strength or weakness of a society depends more on the level of its spiritual life than on its level of industrialization. Neither a market economy nor even general abundance constitutes the crowning achievement of human life. If a nation's spiritual energies have been exhausted, it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect government structure or by any industrial development. A tree with a rotten core cannot stand.

The earth swallows a river6/3/11
The earth "swallowed" the river in an agricultural area at a distance of about 800 m. from this town of 9,000 inhabitants in the Santander province town, authorities said in a broadcast over the Colombian radio station RCN.
The PIIGS debt crisis6/3/11
Greece is the first Eurozone country on the risk list as it is completely out of the bonds market for the next 18 months at least.
The PSD captured 38.6 per cent against 28 per cent for the Socialists, after only the results of votes cast abroad were left to count.
Privatization in Europe6/6/11
The privatization and valorization program of the immovable property belonging to the State aims to collect 15 billion euro up to 2013 and a mammoth amount of 50 billion up to 2015 from the sale of more than 30 public enterprises.
According to "privatization barometer" data , since 1991 to this moment, Greece has collected from privatizations about 20 billion euro from 61 such sales. If the amount of 50 billion the government aspires to collect until 2015 is added, Greece will rank fifth among European states with regard to privatizations, after France, ranking first (137.1 billion) , Italy (115.6 billion) , the U.K. (99.4 billion) and Germany (85.5 billion).
However, this amount looks minimal if compared to the Greek debt, now standing at 329 billion euro and which, according to the most optimistic estimates, is expected to be more than double the country's GDP by 2020.
See in the infographic for the income of the European countries from the privatization of their public property (either through the public offer of a percentage thereof or by using a strategic investor) in the period 1997-2009, in relation to their debt.
It becomes clear from the graphic that up to the nineties privatization was quite unknown, even to western states (with the exception of the U.K. under Thatcher where a privatization program was put into effect since the early eighties). This situation changed in the first two years of the nineties, was intensified with the collapse of the former Eastern block and continues to this day.
Meanwhile, the facts from the BIS, concerning the last three months of 2009, a time in which the, newly elected, Prime Minister G.Papandreou announced the economical "collapse" of the country, show a gradual release of the Greek Debt from the banking system. While, in the middle of 2008, the banks owned 216 billions, they are nowadays left with a sum of 100 billions, which are, on the one hand, extremely risky to be released or, at the other, too expensive to be secured as the insurance prices remain high.

The excitement and that freedom feeling I got when I passed my driving test was one of the reasons why I trained to be a Driving Instructor. I wanted to educate drivers, especially young drivers who would experience those exact same feelings, and to help give them a better understanding of the dangers and the responsibility that gaining your licence brings.
Having qualified with extremely high marks and positive feedback from the Senior Examiner, My aim is not just getting people through the test but giving them the knowledge and the skills needed to drive safely out on the road.

The day before I left is when I kicked into traveling mode. Until then I tried to enjoy all the last times I'd have with family and friends for awhile. Over the pevious couple of weeks I made random piles all over the house of things I thought I wanted, kind of like a gopher leaving mounds in his tracks. I'm not ready to start really thinking about it till it's time. So about 24 hours before I was to fly out I ran around like a crazed man stuffing everything into two large bags and a backpack, keeping the big ones just under 50 lbs each. It was a great goodbye day to the Oregon coast. Went out crabbing on the bay with beautiful weather, enjoyed an amazing sunset on the beach with a sweet friend, and then feasted on eleven dungeness crab with delicious wine. I always get a weird feeling in me when I leave, and I know I won't be back for a good chunk of time. This time i knew it was for a extra long chunk of time with no end date. I thought maybe all that crab was getting to me, but it was just the traveling belly I get, some type of mix of emotions and nervousness. Spent the day up to the airport with my mom, enjoying some quality time. It was sad saying goodbye at the security line knowing I wasn't going to see her or some other people in a long time, especially when she ran back and gave me a bracelet, and realising how sweet she is. Goodbyes are always so sweet n sour. On one hand it's an exciting time of starting something new, the doors have opened to a new future, and anything is possible. Those feelings are shared with knowing that the time you're in and have been in is coming to an end, you can never get back those feelings you had that summer, change is constant, and that you have to say goodbye to a moment in time.
It's strange to fly on 9/11, when a lot of the TV's at the airport are showing videos of planes crashing into buildings and all the reruns from that day. My first leg took me on the 2 hour flight from Portland to LA, which ended up in a deep conversation for the entire flight about politics, religion, materialism, and how people live there lives. I feel like my life is turning more and more into strange coincidences and encounters. I feel like everyday I end up meeting someone or crossing paths with someone who after talking find out we are connected in some roundabout way. I love that. It makes this big gnarly world feel small and meaningful. After LA I had my next leg of an eleven hour flight to Fiji. Mostly spent dozing in and out of it, waking up to get some grub and gulp down a couple whiskey cokes, and having strange dreams. In one dream I was running around on a sail boat grabbing ropes, and I woke up to my hands around the girls arm next to me shaking her awake. She was a little startled to say the least. I think our relationship as seat mates was pretty solid up until that point, but I think I put a strain on it. I'm pretty sure she was telling someone in the immigration line about the weirdo in 35A who liked to grope biceps. Not the worst reputation to get I guess. I'm now on my final leg of flights to Sydney, Australia. Been about three hours of looking down at open blue ocean and blood curdling child screaming to my left. But life is good, and expecting to make landfall soon. Looking out over the vast sea with popcorns of fluffy clouds scattered over it I feel like the adventure has begun. It's no longer a bunch of scribbles on pages, thoughts in my brain, and waiting. Hello Australia, hello unknown.

Thailand's Tourism Ministry is cracking down on the country's infamous sex industry, in an attempt to promote "quality tourism" instead. The ministry wants to shut down brothels with the aim of getting rid of the ubiquitous sex trade altogether. However, local support groups warn that the government must find alternative jobs for sex workers who will be stripped of their livelihoods if such plans come to fruition.
"We want Thailand to be about quality tourism. We want the sex industry gone."
These are the words of Minister of Tourism Kobkarn Wattanavrangbul, who has made the government's position clear. She has downplayed the role of the sex industry in drawing tourists to Thailand and the money it brings in each year. The ministry hopes to eradicate prostitution and rebrand Thailand as a luxurious cultural destination in order to attract wealthier visitors.
However, according to local rights groups NightLight and Service Workers in Group (SWING), such changes would further jeopardize the livelihoods of vulnerable women involved in the sex trade.
According to a 2014 UNAID report, Thailand is home to approximately 123,530 sex workers, which is drastically more than the 37,000 in neighbouring Cambodia. Most are drawn to Bangkok and other tourist meccas, as they are lured by the promise of work and better pay. Many of Thailand's sex workers come from the impoverished northeastern regions. Many are children and are the victims of human trafficking, who fall into the industry as it is the best option, financially, for supporting their families back home.
Reuters interviewed a former sex worker from the northeastern province of Maha Sarakham, who claimed she could earn up to 5,000 baht ($143.14) in one night, twenty times the minimum wage of 300 baht ($8.59).
"No one wants to work in this business, but it's fast and easy money," she said.
The sex industry is a highly controversial topic amongst largely Buddhists and conservatives in Thailand. Officially, prostitution is illegal, however, the laws are routinely ignored. Police are regularly bribed to keep quiet about nefarious business practices, and officials are often embroiled in the trade. Moreover, most observers acknowledge that is unrealistic to expect an immediate end to the sex industry as it has been so deeply entrenched into the tourist trade.
Welfare groups believe that shutting down the sex industry will do further damage to Thailands' economy, which has already suffered major blows due to the fallout of political unrest and the establishment of military rule in 2014. However, in recent weeks many brothels and bars have been hit with police raids, supposedly in an attempt to prosecute venues for employing underage and illegal migrant workers. The raids have been reported as unrelated to the tourism ministry's announcement, however, they have served as an early warning sign that the government is getting serious about closing down the illegal trade. The raids have caused concern amongst clientele who frequent such bars, driving many away for fear of prosecution, according to SWING director, Surang Janyam.
Janyam says that fellow rights groups will welcome the sex industry's closure if the government makes concrete plans to ensure that sex workers are supported through the process.
"If they want to close the sex industry, they must first have jobs ready to support sex workers."

It's not just Germany that will be chugging steins of beer with gusto during Oktoberfest . From Canada to Namibia, expat communities around the world will be raising a glass to the feted festival of beer this month. After all, German enclaves crop up in the most unlikely places…
1. Kitchener, Canada
Formerly known as Berlin (the name was changed in 1916), this city in Ontario lays claim to the world's second largest Oktoberfest. That's a testament to the enduring appeal of German culture, which came to this corner of Canada in the 18th and 19th centuries, as increasing numbers of Europeans settled in North America.
Typically, the Germans brought with them a love of lederhosen, lager and, of course, bratwurst, which is celebrated during the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest. Unlike the one in Munich (which takes places in part in September), this one actually takes place in October (6-14, in case you were wondering).
2. Colonia Tovar, Venezuela
It's a brave man or woman who travels to Venezuela at the moment ( the FCO advises against travel ). But if you do happen to find yourself in this troubled South American nation this October, do swing by the town of Colonia Tovar, which was founded by immigrants from the Grand Duchy of Baden (later incorporated into Germany).
Known as the "Germany of the Caribbean", Colonia Tovar famously hosts its own version of Oktoberfest. The annual jamboree takes place amid German-style architecture, for which the town is known, and occasionally features musicians from the motherland.
3. Bismarck, United States
Bit of trivia for you: the US is home to the largest German population outside of Germany. Bismarck is perhaps the best place for Germans to pay homage to the motherland; after all, the North Dakotan capital is named after one-time German chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, who was attributed with unifying Germany in the 19th century.
The authorities hoped naming the town after Bismarck would attract German immigrants, which it did. Ensuing settlers brought an appetite for beer with them, which lives on in German-themed bars such as Lüft, where punters can quaff strong beers and sizzling bratwursts.
4. La Cumbrecita, Argentina
Telegraph Travel's Clare Wiley recently paid a visit to La Cumbrecita, a surreal slice of Deutschland in rural Argentina. "The street signs are in German, the restaurants serve schnitzel and goulash, while the delis peddle Bavarian-style beer and jars of homemade sauerkraut," she wrote. "It's undeniably kitch."
La Cumbrecita was designed as a faithful recreation of a Swiss-German village, but a gimmick it is not. The settlement was established by a German family, who migrated to Argentina in 1932 and built a holiday home in the mountains to remind them of the motherland. Find out how their little bolthole evolved into a Bavarian-style village here .
5. Windhoek, Namibia
A former German colony, Namibia is officially one of the thirstiest nations in Africa . A coincidence? Perhaps not. There's plenty of evidence some Germanic culture remains, not least in the profusion of beer houses and the annual Oktoberfest celebrations.
A word of warning if you're thinking of getting stuck in: according to local media reports, pedestrians can now be done for drink-walking . Yes, really: in a bid to crack down on alcohol-related road accidents, the Windhoek City Police has reportedly started treating pedestrians in the same way as they would drivers – by breathalysing them at the scene of an accident. You've been warned.
6. Sao Paulo, Brazil
After the US, Brazil is the second most popular destination for German expats. According to immigration studies more than a quarter of a million Germans settled in the South American nation between 1820 and 1972, most of whom chose to live in the country's southern regions.
Sao Paulo was particularly popular and the city is today home to many German-themed bars and restaurants. Oktoberfest is celebrated in towns across the country. Jamborees to look out for include Oktoberfest of Blumenau and Oktoberfest of Itapiranga.
30 amazing things you probably didn't know about Brazil
7. Valdivia, Chile
Chile was, surprisingly, another popular destination for German citizens who were looking to start afresh in the 19th century. Sailing from Hamburg, many people from Germany made their way to the port city of Valdivia in southern Chile, where they have since exerted influence in everything from architecture to – yup, you guessed it – beer.
The city hosts its own version of Oktoberfest, dubbed Bierfest Valdivia, which is typically held in January when the weather is fine and the tourists are in town.
8. Galápagos, Ecuador
There is little visible evidence of Germany's unofficial colonisation of Floreana in Galapagos – no beer halls or Bavarian-style houses here – but the island has a fascinating German history that has more twists and turns (and a greater body count) than an Agatha Christie novel.
Telegraph Travel's Gavin Haines learned all about it on a recent visit to the islands. Read his remarkable account of the German history of Galapagos – also known as the Galapagos Affair – here or see below for a quick overview.

text: Cory Schmidt - February 25, 2014 Blade Runners: Bass Bladebaits Underwater, vague crystalline shapes flicker and vanish amid veils of filtered light. Behind a curtain of coontail, someone's watching. Flitting between openings in the grass, a shimmering legion of shiners stays on alert. But their beating tails and pulsing fins leave a virtual trail of bass breadcrumbs.Amid the quiet drama, a slice of silver appears—alone, isolated from the pack. The courageous, perhaps clueless preyfish lands softly on the sand, hovers a moment and then shoots up and away. Boom, hook-up!These past seasons, I've been catching lots of big smallmouth and largemouth bass on bladebaits. Here in Minnesota, few anglers employ this tactic. From the Great Lakes to western and southern reservoirs, small cadres of anglers have wielded blades with confidence. A few have learned how to waylay impressive catches beyond the traditional deep structure or the customary coldwater periods of the blade's terrain. While Scott Dobson wields a Silver Buddy in most open-water situations, he's found the TG Jaka Blade most effective around woodcover, as its double hooks resist snagging. At the August 2000 Bassmaster Top 150 event on the Potomac River, for example, Carl Maxfield of South Carolina wielded a 1/4-ounce Silver Buddy in 80°F water to outduel Rick Clunn for a first place finish. Lately, Michigan pro Scott Dobson has been on a tear with the same lure, winning regional events on shallow timber-laden reservoirs. Blades Then and NowCrafted by Buddy Banks over 30 years ago, the Silver Buddy remains a model of simplicity and still is a favorite. Popularized by Tennessee smallmouth legend Billy Westmorland, this slab of stainless steel has produced countless monster smallmouths on hill-land impoundments. Its magic resides in the precise thickness of the steel, which produces a distinct thump and vibration. Westmorland called the Silver Buddy the greatest smallmouth bass lure ever. On Dale Hollow Reservoir, he used it to boat smallmouths to 8 pounds.Buddy Banks recently revealed Westmorland's secret for cold-water success: While anglers tend to rip it hard to feel the lure vibrate, Westmorland did the opposite. He'd let it hit bottom and slowly move it 6 or 8 inches, almost like dragging a jig. Then he'd let it sit on a slack line, sometimes for many seconds, before pulling it another 6 or 8 inches. He found that smallies often vacuumed it off bottom.Introduced by James Heddon in 1959, the Sonar is another classic. Earlier, Cotton Cordell had introduced another standard, the Gay Blade, in 1954. This was said to be Cordell's favorite lure. The Reef Runner Cicada, a Scott Stecher original, remains a staple blade in many arsenals. Its deep concave blade body produces intense vibrations and a darting flutter on the fall. Recently, Japanese designs have made a big impact. Two offerings, Nories TG Jaka Blade and Ecogear ZX series, caught my attention last year. The TG Jaka Blade is a slim bait with a weight-forward tungsten head. It has two double hooks, which allows it to slide through timber and sparse vegetation. Protruding from the belly on a swivel is a miniature willowleaf blade that flickers on the upstroke, as well as imparting vibration and slowing its fall. It's become a favorite of Dobson, who works this lure around shallow stumps.With a shrimplike appearance, the Ecogear ZX (available at -leesglobaltackle.com or tacklejp.com) has twin #8 octopus hooks attached to a split ring on separate 2-inch sections of braided line. When you pump the rod and let the bait flutter back, the hooks swing, producing an extraordinary undulating effect. Last fall, I caught several 4- and 5-pound largemouths on it, along rock ridges in 15 to 25 feet of water.Brainchild of Florida guide Steve Niemoeller, the Steelshad is an elongated bait, built of thin metal to allow anglers to bend it for unique action and directional pulls. In-Fisherman Senior Editor Steve Quinn was introduced to it while fishing with Niemoeller and has used it to catch largemouth bass, as well as whites and hybrid stripers. "At times," he says, "bent versions work better, as fish strike when it lifts off bottom at an angle. The slightest bend gives it new action." Another unique blade that's become a favorite is Sebile's Vibrato. The 1/2- and 3/4-ounce sizes excel for combing moderate to deep structure away from heavy cover. This past fall, I cast 1/2- and 3/4-ounce Vibratos in a gold pattern across deep points and averaged about 10 big largemouths per trip. On my first outing, the water was 67°F, and on the last one in early November, it had dropped to 44°F. As the water cooled, bass responded better to the 3/4-ounce size clunked aggressively into the bottom.The Glassie Vibe by River2Sea has a thin likelike body, its lead weight encased in a translucent plastic shell. Like the Vibrato, the Vibe is longer and thinner than traditional shad-shape styles. On the vibration spectrum it fishes "quieter" than others, a fine match for waters with perch, shiners, smelt, and other slender preyfish.Continued after gallery...Cotton Cordell Gay Bladecottoncordelllures.comDamiki Vaultdamiki.comEcogear VXecogear.jpEcogear ZXecogear.jpFish Sense Binskyfishsenselures.comHeddon Sonar heddonlures.comJohnson Thinfisherjohnsonfishing.comNories TG Jaka Bladenories.com/eng/Reef Runner Cicadareefrunner.comRiver2Sea Glassie Viberiver2seausa.comSebile Vibratosebile.comSilver Buddy silverbuddy.comSteelshadsteelshad.com Joe Balog of Michigan has found that when bass key on shiners, short methodical rod lifts work best with bladebaits. Balog on BladesOn lakes Erie and St. Clair, Great Lakes ace Joe Balog has been slinging blades for years. He prefers them early in the year—prespawn and postspawn—and in fall once water temperatures drop below 60°F through early November. "Blades exhibit subtle characteristics that fish key on at those times of the year," says the runner-up at last fall's Bassmaster Northern Open on Lake Erie, "something about the short lift-drop and flash on or near bottom."On St. Clair, smallmouths switch from gobies to small shiners in fall. Shiners stay close to the bottom and we work bass bladebaits accordingly." Unlike traditional retrieves in which anglers aggressively sweep the lure in high vertical arcs, Balog prefers short, methodical rod lifts."There are subtle differences in how blades should be worked in each environment," he says. "On St. Clair, it's best to cast and let it free-fall. Once it hits bottom, lift it just far enough to feel it begin to vibrate. Once it's thumped bottom two to three times, I drop it back down. Let it settle for a second or two between lifts. Fish often slurp it right off bottom. Last fall, it was calm and we could sight-fish in 12 feet of water. We watched big smallmouths swim over and wait until the blade sat motionless on bottom. When it did, you'd see your line jump and could set the hook."On rocky sections of Lake Erie, in contrast, Balog says it's more common to fish aggressively. "On many days, we've had to rip the blade as hard as possible, pulling it 5 to 10 feet on each sweep. It depends on where the fish are hovering in the water column, as well as water temperature, bottom structure, and prevailing forage."While some anglers prefer medium-power spinning tackle, Balog opts for a 7-foot Daiwa Tatula triggerstick (TAT701MRB) and 12-pound Sufix fluorocarbon. The slightly stiffer fluoro prevents hooks from fouling the line, which often happens with braid. He says the Tatula flexes like a crankbait rod. The combination works blades smoothly, while the rod and line have just enough flex to keep bass pinned. A similar option I've used is St. Croix's 7-foot 1-inch Rage (RC71MF), a medium-power, fast-action caster with a fine blend of sensitivity and flex.Balog also stresses the importance of hooks. "I've yet to find a bladebait that comes with the right hooks. I downsize trebles on all of them. On a 1/2-ounce Silver Buddy I use two #6 Gamakatsu round-bend trebles on split rings." And he always uses a small snap. Veteran Buffalo-area guide Frank Campbell fishes a Heddon Sonar "Pac-Man" style, dropping it to tempt bass on his sonar screen. Campbell's Sonar-Sonar PatternAt the eastern end of Lake Erie, veteran guide Frank Campbell uses bladebaits in the Niagara region. Campbell typically wields a Heddon Sonar on both sides of the Summer Period. "Soon after ice-out, blades start working," says the multispecies guide. "Postspawn is my favorite time to rip blades like the Sonar. When smallies suspend off bottom, they slide into deep areas close to spawning flats. After spawning, big females often suspend several feet off bottom. A blade becomes highly appealing then."Emerald shiners are key forage early in the year, while gobies become more important in fall. I try to match the baitfish in color and size." Campbell says he rarely catches fish on silver baits anymore, even in Erie's super-clear waters. "Gold is highly effective as a shiner imitator, as is green. White and brown patterns work well, too, especially once bass focus on gobies."Campbell fishes bladebaits on calm days when bass may refuse a tube or even livebait. "I use the graph to find individual boulders in 15 to 25 feet of water. We do the same thing in fall when fish are along quick drops in 25 to 45 feet of water."Once he locates a big rock, baitfish school, or individual bass on the graph, Campbell drops the Sonar. He calls this interactive approach "Pac-Man fishing," as he watches the lure and the bass' reaction on the screen. For imitating large shiners or smelt, he opts for 1/2-ounce blades, while the 1/4-ouncer excels for mimicking small baitfish.In shallow water, a vertical approach sometimes spooks fish, as bass scatter from the boat's shadow. In those situations, Campbell tries to spot rocks and other cover, then casts the blade and works it near cover with short rips of the rod tip. If bass are nearby, strikes usually occur within a few rips.In water deeper than 15 feet, his vertical Pac-Man approach usually proves deadly. "We drop the blade to the level of fish or cover we see on the screen. Once it's in position, I give the bait a 3- to 5-foot upward pump, not a hard rip. Then I pause and let it flutter back while following the blade on a semi-taught line. If that fails to get a strike, we may raise the lure a little higher to make fish chase. In any case, we react to what we're seeing on screen."Campbell says that smallmouths often bite at the top of the stroke, when the bait's reached its peak and has just begun to drop. "It's important to keep your rod in position for a hook-set. I tell clients not to hold the rod too high or they're out of position when a bass bites."Campbell spools with 6- and 8-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon. He prefers Fenwick's 7-foot 4-inch medium-power Elite Tech Smallmouth spinning rod, as its extra length easily imparts the right action to lures and provides control over hooked fish. Author Cory Schmidt has found a pair of Japanese bladebaits, Nories TG Jaka Blade and the Ecogear ZX, extremely effective for smallmouth as well as largemouth bass. Clanging CoverFew anglers I've fished with work blades more precisely than Scott Dobson. "People limit blades way too much," he says. "I've been fishing them in non-traditional spots—3 feet of water around dock posts in spring or openings in shallow cover. They can outperform lures such as heavy jigs in a variety of locations."Dobson, who relies on a chrome 1/2- and 3/4-ounce Silver Buddy, extols its reflective value. "On sunny days, a stainless-steel, non-plated Buddy is second to none," he says. "I can see it shimmering like a mirror in shallow water."Most people fish bladebaits in 20 to 30 feet of water, but they can work as well on shallow flats or around cover. With two double hooks, Nories' TG Jaka Blade is sweet option around stumps in reservoirs. I won a local tournament targeting individual stumps, fishing it like a tube or jig. Holding the rod at about 3-o'clock, I keep the blade within 6 inches of bottom, giving it short sweeps with the rod tip. When a bass hits, I don't truly set, but lift and start reeling.As a bladebait rocks back and forth, it flickers in the sun, attracting the attention of any nearby predators. Whether in shallow or deep water, a bladebait can be a powerful tool, and one that's powerfully overlooked.*Cory Schmidt, Brainerd, Minnesota, is an In-Fisherman Field Editor.

When applying thermoplastic rubber to roof surfaces, a clean and dry condition is required. For best results, do not apply coatings until you are 5 degrees above the dew point.
Field coatings can begin 24-48 hours after seams and fasteners have been prepared with Seam Sealer or when dry to touch. Coatings can be brushed, rolled or sprayed, the best results being sprayed. It is still a good idea to roll the outside edge about 12-18 inches in if possible, to avoid over-spraying sidewalls etc. Wind is a factor, but nowhere near the factor as lighter coatings such as paints etc. Applications should always be done in two coats to avoid pinholing or mudcracking, and to ensure complete and thorough coverage. Follow guide specifications for reliable results, or call Truco personnel to assit in offering a customized specification. Drying time varies with weather conditions. On a warm sunny day, you can usually apply the second coat the next day. The first coat should not be tacky however, so the longer you wait the better.
When coating a roof that has been previously coated with aluminum or asphalt, there may be a bleed thru on the first coat of Truco's liquid rubber coatings. Allow 2 weeks between first and second coat and put a test patch on to check for bleed thru before applying second coat.

I saw her from across the room standing with a bandana tied around her head, neatly woven braids, and a colorful, layered outfit. I assume she was somewhere around 40 years old. But I couldn't continue to look because she was skin and bones. For the week, I avoided her. I avoided eye contact. I avoided sitting close to her at meals. I avoided any interaction with her.
The other day, I made my way from where I write in my journal to the corner in my bedroom where my meditation cushion lives. I sat quietly.
Within moments, the image of my father appeared. The image of him struggling to walk and lift his leg into his car. The image of fast food bags in his passenger seat. The image of him having to sit after walking a few steps or knowing it was easier for him to sleep in a chair than a bed.
I felt my heart clench. The pain of those images and watching someone you love struggle and suffer is heartbreaking.
I knew deep down that although my Dad never said it, being obese impacted his life. It was his snoring that was the start of him and my Mom sleeping in separate beds. It was his weight that led to other health conditions. He couldn't do the things he loved like swim or soak in the hot tub. Traveling to see his grandchildren was difficult. He couldn't get down on the floor and play with them. He could only watch.
As I sat quietly remembering my father, tears trickled down my cheeks. The image of the woman soon appeared in my mind. Although appearances presented themselves in different ways, their pain showed up in their appearance.
Just as it was sometimes too hard to bear the pain of my father's suffering for 20 years, it was also, humbly, too painful to bear the pain of this woman's story who I did not know.
In the last several years of my Dad's life, I softened to his pain. For many years I was hardened, judgmental and angry about his suffering. Those feelings protected me from my sadness.
As I thought about the woman with the bandana, who was later confirmed to be anorexic; I reflected that my avoidance to her was to not feel the sensitivity of her suffering.
How often do we turn away from people's pain and suffering because of what it touches in us? The hardness, tightness or judgment points us to something deeper in us that is being touched. Something that is often much softer, more tender and genuinely human.

Killconey is a ferret from Mossflower Woods who joined the horde of Cluny the Scourge when Cluny attacked Redwall Abbey. He was an extremely talkative ferret with a comical accent (probably Irish) and a tendency to refer to his "ould" mother's sayings. But he wasn't a fool. In fact, he turned out to be very useful for Cluny in several schemes.
Killconey and a rat named Cheesethief were the only members of Cluny's horde who ever saw the adder Asmodeus Poisonteeth and lived; they saw him pulling the carcass of Ragear away. He was later in charge of the crew of weasels, stoats and ferrets with the duty of digging a tunnel into Redwall from the southwestern corner (though this plan was discovered and failed miserably, leading only to the death of Darkclaw and many other hordesbeasts). During the largest battle of the Late Rose Summer Wars, Killconey for a short while took the position of "drummer-cum-soothsayer".
Also, he had some knowledge of leverage, and built Cluny a siege tower to get into Redwall from the back wall, though this scheme also failed to gain access into the Abbey. The incident shocked Cluny so much that for a short while, Killconey took control of the horde along with Darkclaw and Fangburn. In the final battle for Redwall, Killconey was held in front of Cluny as a living shield and thus was slain by a swipe from Matthias that chopped him in half. His last action thus saved his Chief's life, if only for a short while.
While never shown in a positive light, Killconey is never really shown to be evil, either. This may be linked to his being forced into service under Cluny.

If losing weight or getting in shape tops your fitness to-do list, there's a good chance you know a thing or two about high-intensity interval training, aka HIIT. Besides the obvious benefits of scorching calories and increasing your fitness levels, HIIT also allows you to get the most work done in the least amount of time.
In other words, when done right, HIIT gets you fit, fast.
What Is HIIT, Exactly?
HIIT gets used a lot in training conversations. And while some of the information you may hear is spot on, other tidbits of wisdom may not be so accurate. So, let's clear up a few things before you do a billion burpees and blow out your back.
In general, HIIT is a type of workout that pairs high-intensity exercise intervals with low- to moderate-intensity active recovery phases. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, each interval can range from a few seconds to a few minutes, and the intensity of the intervals can vary based on your current fitness level. The type of exercise you use to do a HIIT workout is entirely up to you.
For example, if you want to do a cardio HIIT workout, Bonnie Micheli and Tracy Roemer, co-founders of Shred415, say you can use equipment, like a treadmill or elliptical machine, or simply head outside. For a 30-minute session, aim to perform 30 seconds of fast exercise followed by a one-minute slower-paced active recovery interval. "This is a great way to burn calories in a short amount of time," says Micheli.
For a full-body HIIT workout that focuses on strength, choose several bodyweight exercises such as squats, push-ups, lunges, mountain climbers and planks. Perform each exercise for 20 seconds, followed by a 10-second rest period. Do the circuit twice.
Benefits of HIIT
1. HIIT Improves Your Cardiovascular Fitness
HIIT helps boost your cardio-respiratory health in a shorter period of time. An April 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis published in Sports Medicine examined the research on HIIT and VO2 max and found that gains in VO2 max (maximal oxygen uptake) were greater following HIIT when compared with other forms of training. These VO2 max gains can help boost your performance in activities like running, cycling, rowing and cross-country skiing.
2. HIIT May Improve Your Overall Health
With those cardio gains come other positive health changes, all thanks to HIIT. In a March 2012 study published in The Journal of Physiology, researchers found that HIIT can serve as an effective alternative to traditional endurance-based training. More specifically, they discovered a link between HIIT and improved health outcomes and cardio fitness in a range of populations, including those with coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and middle-aged adults with metabolic syndrome.
3. HIIT Helps You Customize Your Workouts
Many beginners are hesitant to do HIIT because they believe it's only for hard-core gym junkies or athletes. The good news is, you can customize your intervals by varying the time and intensity to fit your fitness needs. "The goal is to get your heart rate pumping,"says Micheli. "So you can go at your own pace, including a slow walk to a fast walk." To determine if an interval is intense enough for you, monitor your breathing and heart rate. You should experience a jump in your heart rate and it should be difficult to talk.

4. HIIT Allows You to Exercise Anywhere, Anytime
One of the many benefits of HIIT is that you can perform the workouts anywhere: at the gym, at home or on the road. Since you're not required to use any specific cardio or weight equipment, you can sneak in a sweat-dripping session morning, noon or night — no excuses.
5. HIIT Helps Preserve Muscle Mass During Weight Loss
Weight loss and maximum muscle mass are often in conflict with each other. That's because when the number on the scale decreases, especially quickly, it's not just fat that you're losing, you may also be sacrificing hard-earned muscle. In an April 2012 study published in the Journal of Obesity, researchers reported that this type of training can help reduce body fat, improve aerobic fitness and preserve lean muscle mass.
6. HIIT Gives You a Higher Calorie Burn in a Shorter Period of Time
More burn in less time? Yes, please. The combination of work to active rest periods maximizes your calorie burn and increases cardiorespiratory fitness in about half the time as steady-state cardio workouts, according to a December 2017 study published in Biology of Sport.

7. HIIT Keeps Your Metabolism Elevated After Exercise
The puddles of sweat make it obvious that HIIT cranks up your metabolism during a workout. But did you know that this form of exercise also helps you burn calories for several hours afterward? You read that right. When you finish exercising, your body is still running at top speed, and your metabolism stays elevated thanks to excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Essentially, the higher the intensity, the longer it will take your body to repair and return your metabolism to a normal, resting level. It's during this recovery process that you continue to burn extra calories.
Tips for Doing More HIIT Workouts
HIIT is not an easy method of exercise. Use these tips to incorporate high-intensity intervals into your workouts safely and effectively.
- Make it a full-body workout. When designing a HIIT routine that focuses on strength, Andrew Mariani, trainer at Fhitting Room, says to always include upper- and lower-body movements to ensure you hit all of the major muscle groups.
- Add explosive moves. Mariani also says to incorporate both explosive moves during intervals and slower-tempo intervals in your workout. This is a great tip for more advanced fitness fans who might want to add in some plyometric exercises such as box jumps, squat jumps and plyometric push-ups for the work phase of the intervals.
- Avoid complete rest. HIIT is all about getting in and getting out. This means that your rest periods need to be active recovery, not "sit on the weight bench and check Instagram" recovery. To fill the "rest period," Mariani says to drop to the floor for 15 seconds of static core work (think: planks).
- Think of HIIT as one tool. With all of the fantastic benefits that accompany a HIIT session, you might be wondering if you can ditch the rest of your routines and just stick with HIIT. The short answer is "no." Because the intensity is high, you don't want to perform these types of workouts too often. In general, incorporating two to three non-consecutive days of HIIT workouts into your overall fitness routine will allow you enough recovery time, while still delivering excellent results.

In Vogelvlucht
Valeska Hovener from text agency In Vogelvlucht asked me to work together with her on her new website. The brief was to create an easy to use, compact, and simple website that showcases what the agency does, its services, and what it stands for.
During a period of two months we built the website from the ground up. Valeska took care of the content—obviously a discipline that she masters well—while I took care of the design, interaction design, user experience, and development. The result is a clean looking little website that functions equally well on desktop as it does on mobile.
