Can you use "stick in the ground" weave poles in a video trial, or do they need to be on a base?

Interesting question!

Our rule has always been that the equipment has to meet NADAC guidelines.   And there aren't any guidelines right now saying that stick in the ground weave poles aren't allowed.

So the answer would be it's allowed, until someone abuses the leniency and we are forced to change the rule :)

Cancer-Stricken Goalie's Mom Wants Artificial Turf Answers - NBC Bay Area

Cancer-Stricken Goalie's Mom Wants Artificial Turf Answers

    University of Miami athlete Austen Everett died from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2012. Her mother said it was soon after that, as she found out about even more sick players, that she came to believe that artificial turf used on soccer fields was the culprit.

    "I realized, 'Oh my God, the thing that she loved most probably killed her,'" June Leahy told NBC News. "And that was hard." Leahy says since her daughter's death, she still hasn't gotten enough answers — or action from lawmakers and regulators.

    Crumb rubber turf, which is used in thousands of U.S. schools, parks and professional stadiums, is made from pulverized tires — which can contain carcinogens — and green nylon blades of fake grass. No research has linked crumb or shredded rubber to cancer, and the turf industry says dozens of studies have shown the surface poses no health risk. Some parents and activists, however, say there should be more testing and that federal regulators should take a position on its safety.

Pope Francis Cracks Down on German "Bishop of Bling" - NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
National & International News
The day’s top national and international news

Pope Francis Cracks Down on German "Bishop of Bling"

The bishop is notorious for his extravagant lifestyle, in contrast with the Jesuit pontiff's simple one.

    Pope Francis Cracks Down on German "Bishop of Bling"
    Pope Francis, left, temporarily expelled German bishop Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst from his diocese on Wednesday Oct. 23, 2013 because of a scandal over a 31-million-euro ($42 million) project to build a new residence complex but refused popular calls to remove him.

    Pope Francis expelled a German bishop from his diocese on Wednesday pending the outcome of a church inquiry into his $43-million new residence complex.

    The Vatican didn't say how long Bishop Franz-Peter Tebartz-van Elst, 53, would spend away from the diocese of Limburg but it refused calls to remove him permanently. It gave no information on where he would go or what he would do.

    The Vatican said the bishop was leaving pending the outcome of a German church investigation into the expenditures and his role in the affair. Fellow bishops and lay Catholics in the diocese, however, expressed doubt that he would ever be able to return.

    "This is a crisis of confidence that will be hard to overcome," said the dean of the cathedral chapter, Guenther Geis.

    Limburg's vicar general, the Rev. Wolfgang Roesch, who had been due to start Jan. 1, will instead begin work immediately and will run the diocese during Tebartz-van Elst's absence, the Vatican said.

    At the center of the controversy is the huge price tag for the construction of a new bishop's residence complex and related renovations. Tebartz-van Elst has defended the expenditures, saying the bill was actually for 10 projects and there were additional costs because the buildings were under historical protection.

    But in a country where Martin Luther launched the Reformation five centuries ago in response to what he said were excesses and abuses within the church, the outcry has been enormous. The perceived lack of financial transparency has also struck a chord since a church tax in Germany brings in billions a year to the German church.

    Tebartz-van Elst's leadership style has also been criticized. In August and September, more than 4,000 people signed an open letter to the bishop criticizing what they considered his authoritarian style.

    The head of the German bishops' conference, Archbishop Robert Zollitsch, has been particularly blunt in his criticism of the expenditures and the credibility problem it was causing the church.

    He said the "decisive" turning point came when Hamburg prosecutors earlier this month asked a court to levy an unspecified fine against the bishop for false testimony in a related case.

    Zollitsch has said the church commission will investigate the costs of the renovation, the financing and how decisions about the restoration evolved. Canon lawyers will determine if Tebartz-van Elst violated church law regarding the use of church money, Zollitsch said.

    In a statement Wednesday, Zollitsch pledged that the commission would do its work "quickly and carefully."

    Francis' decision opens "a space to return to inner calm and create a new basis for talks," he said.

    The Vatican stressed that Francis took the decision based on "objective" information, suggesting that the Vatican wasn't being swayed by the popular outcry. Francis has also made it clear he expects his bishops to live simply, setting as an example his own humble lifestyle.

    Tebartz-van Elst met with Francis on Monday.

    Germany's main lay Catholic group, the Central Committee of German Catholics, praised the decision.

    "Pope Francis' decision offers the chance of a first step toward a new beginning in the Limburg diocese, because the situation had become an increasing burden for the faithful there and in all of Germany," said Alois Glueck, the group's head.

    The German government refused to comment on the matter.

    Franz-Josef Bode, bishop of Osnabrueck, said the pope had made a "smart" decision which gives all concerned time to review the situation calmly. But in comments to the German newspaper Die Welt, he cast doubt on Tebartz-van Elst ever returning to Limburg.

    "There is a fundamental crisis of confidence in Limburg. The situation there is a mess," Bode was quoted as saying.

Police Arrest Suspect Accused of Stalking Teens - NBC4 Washington

Police Arrest Suspect Accused of Stalking Teens

    How Telehealth Technology is Revolutionizing Healthcare
    Joseph D. Briganti

    A 37-year-old man is accused of stalking after he reportedly approached three teenage girls in his red pickup truck and told them to get inside -- in two separate occasions on the same day.

    Joseph D. Briganti was arrested Wednesday after he was identified as a suspect in the "red truck" incidents from last week, Manassas City police said.

    Around 8:40 p.m. June 11 police said the driver of a red pickup truck stopped near two teenage girls, a 12-year-old and a 13-year-old, and yelled at them to get in his vehicle. The girls were walking in the area of Clover Hill Road and Godwin Drive; they were able to run to a nearby home unharmed.

    A couple hours before, police said the same driver slowed down beside a 16-year-old girl who was running on Godwin Dive.

    The driver asked through the window if she needed a ride and when the girl changed directions, she noticed the truck following her. The victim then stopped in a witness-rich environment where the driver pulled up and told her to get in his truck; she was able to escape and run home unharmed.

    Anyone with information on these events should call 703-257-8092.

Police Chief, 2 Nursing Home Employees Killed; Shooter Dead - NECN

Police Chief, 2 Nursing Home Employees Killed; Shooter Dead

The chief was a father of six children with a seventh child on the way

    An Ohio police chief and two nursing home workers were killed Friday when a gunman opened fire at a nursing home. (Published Friday, May 12, 2017)

    An armed man gunned down a new village police chief on a street on Friday and then killed two employees in a nearby nursing home, where he later was found dead, a sheriff said. No nursing home residents were injured.

    The slain police chief, Steven Eric Disario, had headed the Kirkersville Police Department for only about three weeks, Licking County Sheriff Randy Thorp said. Disario was shot on a street near the Pine Kirk Care Center, and the two female employees and the gunman were found dead inside, Thorp said.

    Disario, 36, was a father of six children, with a seventh on the way, the sheriff said.

    Thorp called it a hard day for all.

    "We've lost a police officer. It's just a tragic event," he said. "I guess the only peace of mind is that the threat is over."

    Flowers and flags appeared in an impromptu memorial outside the village police hall.

    Thorp gave the following timeline of events:

    The gunman was in a wooded area behind the nursing home when he encountered two passers-by, whom he temporarily took hostage.

    Disario, responding to a report of a man with a gun, apparently encountered the gunman in that area. The chief's last radio communication said he had the man in sight.

    When a shot was fired at the chief, the hostages escaped unharmed.

    "We don't know the cause or the purpose or what drove this individual to do this," Thorp said, adding that was being investigated.

    Responding officers found Disario on the street and then investigated a report of a gunman at the nursing home, Thorp said.

    Some nursing home residents barricaded themselves during the shooting, but none of them was injured, he said.

    Police weren't immediately able to identify the gunman and were trying to determine what, if any, relationship he had with the nursing home, Thorp said. Although he was not identified by police, family members said the gunman was 43-year-old Thomas Hartless, NBC affiliate WCMH reported.

    The facility is secure, and it's unclear how the gunman got in, he said.

    The shooting closed down the main street in the village, which was flooded with police officers from several surrounding agencies and with ambulances. The village of about 500 residents is roughly 25 miles (39 kilometers) east of Columbus.

    "This is a really small town, and everybody knows everybody," Kirkersville resident Debbie Messer told the Columbus Dispatch. "These things don't happen here."

    A woman who works about a block away said she heard gunshots followed by screaming and then sirens.

    "You could hear a guy yelling," Kathy Rogers said. "He was yelling and screaming. I'm not really sure what he was saying, it was like a block away. It was just a nightmare."

    Pine Kirk is licensed for 24 patients and had 23 as of May 3, according to Ohio Department of Health records. A message was left with the center.

    Peter Van Runkle, the head of the state trade association representing nursing homes, told the Dispatch that Pine Kirk caters to "the forgotten members of society."

    "They provide them with a small environment that's less institutional than some facilities might be," he said. "They do a good job of taking care of a niche clientele."

    The state Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the probe into what happened.

    Gov. John Kasich ordered flags flown at half-staff in Licking County and the Statehouse and expressed his condolences in a tweet.

    "Join me in praying for his family, friends and colleagues, and for the others injured in this tragedy," the Republican governor said.

Facing eviction from shelter, storm victims 'scared'

Nina Brabham, 51, hugs her son, Anthony Jamieson,

Nina Brabham, 51, hugs her son, Anthony Jamieson, 12, at the Stony Point Conference Center, which has been transformed into a shelter for families displaced by Hurricane Sandy nearly a month ago. The Brabhams, who lived on River Road directly across from the Sea Wall, lost their rental home but received $5,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to relocate. Like many in their situation, they are finding it difficult to find an apartment with reasonable rent and in the same school district as the one they lived in before. (Nov. 27, 2012) Photo Credit: Faye Murman

Dozens of families who found refuge from Hurricane Sandy at the Stony Point Conference Center have been given a Friday deadline to find a new place to live and are now facing an area housing crisis as demand continues to exceed supply.

Apartment rentals have been hard to come by in the area, residents and local real estate agents said. Where apartments are available, costs are high and landlords aren't easing up on restrictions.

"We're all scared," said Nina Brabham, 51, who has been staying at the center with her two sons -- Michael Brabham, 16, and Anthony Jamieson, 12 -- since the superstorm hit Oct. 29. "I've been going crazy the last two weeks looking for a place. I can't afford some of these rents. And I'm a hardworking person. Where do we go?"

Brabham was paying $1,000 a month for her two-bedroom apartment on River Road in Stony Point, just feet from the Hudson River's edge. She said she can't find anything comparable for less than $1,600. One landlord refused to show her a one-bedroom flat because she had two children who were going to live with her, she said.

Brabham said she has worked with the mentally challenged for more than 30 years.

"We're homeless," she said, sobbing. "We're homeless, not because we didn't pay our rent. We're homeless because of a disaster. You think you're going home to a mess, and everything is just gone. We have nothing left. All we want is for people to understand our situation. We're not asking for a handout, but knock $100 off the rent, something to make it easier on us."

FEMA spokesman Gary Weidner said the center has been approved for transitional housing until Dec. 14. That means federal aid is available to pay for the use of the center as a shelter. Assessments of family needs will be done individually Friday, and where homes are habitable, residents at the conference center will go home, Weidner said.

The big problem the families face is that -- according to manager Paula Sandusky -- the center's rooms have been booked for retreat groups during the upcoming weekends. A volunteer caseworker was scheduled to show up Tuesday night to meet with the families and help figure out solutions for more permanent housing.

As of Tuesday, the conference center still housed 110 people -- 60 adults and 50 children -- who were using Federal Emergency Management Agency rental assistance to pay the $50 nightly room fee.

A family's rental assistance amount is set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is based on household size. Rental assistance is calculated and dispersed on a case-by-case basis. On Tuesday, Weidner urged residents to stay in contact with FEMA to see whether additional aid would be available after they leave the center.

"The problem is, too, they have to continue to pay rent on their mobile home, whether they're living there or not," Sandusky said Tuesday, noting that many of those now staying at the conference center had trailer homes at the Ba Mar trailer park. "It's going to be a great financial burden on them."

As her 2-year-old son Caleb ran around a common area in the conference center Tuesday, Sonia Castillo, 37, held back tears as she described what was left of her first-floor flat on North Street in Stony Point. The apartment was destroyed by 15-foot storm surges carrying tons of sewage.

"My apartment got totaled," Castillo said. "There's a sewage plant right next door, and all the fecal matter seeped into my apartment. I lost everything."

Having contacted five Realtors and having browsed craigslist for weeks, Castillo landed a two-bedroom apartment at the Tor View Village apartments, but had to spend more than $4,000 up front. She said she was forced to shell out $100 for an application fee and credit check, $100 for a deposit to hold the apartment while her credit cleared and the standard three months' rent at $1,575 per month.

"It's been difficult because I'm a single parent and these prices are high in Rockland County," Castillo said. "We have no homes. But I consider myself lucky that I now have a place for me and my son. No one was coming to us and saying, 'These apartments are available.' It's been so hard."

Realtor Frank Golio has been advising families in need of housing that they can expect landlords to be tough on credit scores, smoking and especially pets. Golio has had a listing on craigslist for a three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment in Stony Point for $2,295.

"Landlord will consider short term rental for anyone displaced by Sandy!!," the ad reads.

"That ad is one in a million," Golio said. "There are so many people in need of an apartment; it's a difficult task."

Jodi Thomas, a Realtor at Kennedy and Kennedy Estate Associates in Piermont, looked up rental units in her firm's database and found that, of the 240 units available in Rockland County, only 20 are in Stony Point.

"I call up landlords and I say they have a small dog and you'd swear I was talking about a fugitive from the law," Thomas said.

Only half of the units available in the Stony Point area fall below $1,800 per month, and of those just four are available as short-term rentals, said real estate agent Naomi Vargas.

"It's the wintertime and the market is really slow. There aren't a lot of apartments available because people don't normally move when it's cold and during the holidays," Vargas said. "And if landlords take a short-term rental for three or four months, they're stuck in the middle of the winter with an empty apartment. They won't do that."

Nichts als alter Stoff

This four-part series is a fictive print campaign for the Hamburger Rieger Containerboard, which was developed within an advertising design course at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. Hamburger Rieger Containerboard is a market leading producer for recycled and corrugated base papers. Like other training organisations the enterprise urgently needs qualified junior employees, especially in remote company locations in Eastern Germany. Therefore the created recruiting campaign aims to capture attention for the promising employer and tries to increase the interest for paper technology. By combining unusual aesthetic imagery and cheeky slogans the young target group is addressed directly and will be encouraged to apply.

HIV rates highlighted in public health report

Nearly a quarter of people with HIV are unaware of their infection according to a report published by Public Health England (PHE).

HIV in Englandshows that there are now nearly 110,000 people living with HIV in the UK.

Published today in advance of National Aids Week, it also shows the number of gay and bi-sexual men living with HIV are at an annual high with an estimated 7,000 men living with the infection undiagnosed.

Around 6% of gay and bisexual men are now living with HIV, rising to 13% in London - with 3,250 newly diagnosed in 2013. It is estimated that 2,800 men acquired HIV in 2013.

The report also draws attention to the fact that one-third of the 40,000 black African heterosexual men and women living with HIV in the UK do not know they have the virus.

Dr Valerie Delpech said: “Knowing one's HIV status is the key to both effective treatment, and to preventing onward transmission. This is why we are promoting the National HIV Testing Week. The campaign encourages people who are most affected by HIV to take an HIV test.”

Professor Noel Gill, Head of PHE's HIV and STI department added: “Used correctly and consistently, condoms remain an inexpensive and effective way to prevent HIV.

“We are also now seeing important and exciting data on ways to use antiretroviral medication to prevent HIV. PHE has accelerated its support of the evaluation of these measures as they may help to turn the tide on the HIV epidemic.”

Despite this, the proportion of people diagnosed with a late stage of HIV infection fell from 57% in 2004 to 42% in 2013.

Dr Valerie Delpech placed emphasis on “the importance of testing for HIV to ensure an early diagnosis”.

She said: “People diagnosed promptly with HIV infection can expect to live long and healthy lives.”

Every year, hundreds of thousands of high school seniors make bad choices about where — or whether — to go to college. Some who would excel at top-ranked institutions opt for second-tier institutions. And more than 200,000 students who have been accepted by colleges never enroll.

The good news is that, for students in both groups, a dollop of information or a helpful nudge can change their decisions.

Many high achievers from poor families don’t even consider elite schools. Scared off by the sticker price, they enroll at community colleges and less selective institutions instead. That is one reason 72 percent of students at the most competitive universities come from families in the top quarter of the income bracket, while students from families in the bottom quarter make up only 3 percent.

Without help from knowledgeable guidance counselors or visits from college admissions officers to their high schools, these students don’t realize that, with their credentials, they would almost certainly be admitted to a better institution and receive a financial aid package so generous that it would actually save them money.

Getting this information in these students’ hands can make a world of difference, as the economists Caroline Hoxby, at Stanford, and Sarah Turner, at the University of Virginia, have shown. They tracked 40,000 seniors who scored in the top 10 percent on the SAT or ACT and most of whose families’ earnings fell in the bottom third of the income distribution. Most received packets telling them how to identify schools that matched their interests, with information about those colleges’ academic offerings and graduation rates. They also were provided with estimates of what it would actually cost them to attend a range of different schools. The control group didn’t get any of this material.

Continue reading the main story

The impact was astonishing. Those who received the packet were 78 percent more likely to be accepted by a top-ranked university, where the overall graduation rate was 15 percent higher than at less selective institutions. When the information was accompanied by a waiver of application fees, the effect was even greater. A follow-up study found that these students knew more about whether the academic programs of the schools they considered were a good fit for them. And the intervention cost less than $15 a student.

An equally serious problem is the number of high school graduates — as many as 40 percent in some urban districts — who have been accepted to college but never make it to campus.

This behavior may be because of a change of heart or a change of circumstances. Often, though, the explanation is simply a lack of knowledge regarding what steps the students need to take after they’re accepted. Unlike their well-off peers, cosseted by counselors and parents, these young people are typically left to their own devices. They are understandably daunted by navigating the passage between high school and college — completing financial aid forms, submitting grades, picking courses and signing up for orientation. The phenomenon is known as summer melt, and it’s a big reason well-intentioned attempts to enroll more poor students usually fall short.

Counseling is one way to close this gap. A study conducted in Fulton County, Ga., found that individual advising raised college enrollment rates among low-income students to 72 percent from 64 percent. But counselors, especially in poor high schools, already have oversize caseloads — upward of 500 students — and little time to focus on those who have already been accepted to college.

A new approach — a text-messaging campaign directed at potentially vulnerable students during the summer, customized to remind them of the deadlines set by their intended college and directing them to counseling help — can reduce summer melt at a fraction of the cost. In his book “The 160-Character Solution,” Benjamin Castleman, an education professor at the University of Virginia, details this light-touch strategy.

Using texts is a smart move. This is how teenagers communicate — nearly two-thirds of them send texts daily, far more than talk on their phones or rely on email. “Hi, Alex!” a typical text might say. “Have you chosen your courses yet? Deadline is 8/15. Need to register? Need help? Text back to talk w/ an adviser.” In a pilot study that enlisted nearly 5,000 students, 72 percent of low-income students who received the message followed through and enrolled in college, compared with 66.4 percent who didn’t get this information. The cost? Less than $7 a student.

The same approach can keep college freshmen on track for their sophomore year. In another study, freshmen who received text reminders to submit their financial aid forms and keep up their grades to remain eligible for aid were 20 percent more likely to stay in college than those who didn’t get these nudges.

Deliver this assistance to high school seniors nationwide, and thousands more poor students will make it to college. Professor Castleman is now working with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Common Application to deliver texts about aid and college choice to over half a million students. “Can we go from 50,000 to 500,000 — to five million?” he wonders.

Last summer, Michelle Obama started a similar program called Up Next, aimed at getting students to apply for college. It walks them through the process, from prepping for exams and making an informed choice among schools to filling out the federal student aid form, called Fafsa. Text messaging is one of its main tools.

Colleges and universities need to join forces to encourage poor, high-achieving students to attend top-flight schools and nudge accepted students to enroll. Doing the right thing for students has never been so cheap.

Lake Cable - 4th July

Discussion in 'Northeast Ohio Fishing Reports' started by Jackfish, Jul 6, 2004.

  1. Strange weekend of fishing... visit my brother at lake Cable & go for some catfish. Only about an hour in & a drag in a 13.4lb channel (my 2nd best!). This was about the fattest fish I have ever seen, couldn't figure out what it was doing...holding it up for the picture & it starts having bowel movements of seaweed all over the boat...not just a little, but a heck of a lot. It was apparently gorging on something? that was in the seaweed. About an hour later I drag in another channel, this one at 8.5lbs, same thing, stuffed with seaweed & also having bowel problems all over the boat. We are also catching alot of bullhead that are full of seaweed? What the heck - I have never seen this before - is this normal? Any idea what they would have been eating?

    Anyway I'm thinking wow - only a couple hours in & two nice fish - this is going to be awesome. Now what confuses me is my father shows up the next day & I'm telling him about the great fishing & we take him out - fishing blows. Nothing changed, same timing, same temp, same baits, same (& other) locations without much success at all - even the bullheads where not biting. Same thing the next night also - nothing hitting. I couldn't figure out what shut them off, same conditions 3 nights & a row & two of the nights fishing was bad.

    Other stuff - got a 3 1/2lb largemouth & also a 3 1/2 lb walleye while cat fishing - nice surprise. Something strange happened - being a bit overzealous I was using a sucker that was almost 12 inches long as bait the last night - my bobber started acting strange but I assumed (incorrectly) that is was the huge piece of baits swimming around. When I bring it in the sucker had chew marks up 8 1/2 inches on both sides. Do cats usually play with fish much before eating them? It had to be a large fish otherwise it couldn't have had such a big sucker down it's throat - why would a cat shove that much food down it's throat & then swim away without eating it? Drove me nuts, I spent the whole night thinking I probably just missed my biggest cat.

    Good fishing but I couldn't figure out the cats.

    Tried to attach photos but having problems with it.
  2. ParmaBass

    ParmaBass Kiss The Converse

    I grew up on Lake Cable. Can't remember ever having a slow day out there on the Bass. That was 15 years ago though. Have also caught a few really nice Cats out of there. They still have the trapeze at the beach area?

  3. Trapeze? Not that I now of - they do have a big swing rope of there - pretty cool on the 4th, they shoot the fireworks out over the water.

Feds: Oregon Must Better Track Unemployment Benefits

The federal government says Oregon needs to do a better job at monitoring the unemployment benefits it pays out.

Last year, the Oregon Employment Department overpaid at least$44 million in unemployment benefits. Most of it went to people who continued to collect benefits even after they returned to work.

The Statesman Journal reports that the state managed to get back about $20 million of that total.

But that’s just from overpayments that state officials were able to track.

The U.S. Department of Labor says that’s not good enough. Federal officials say Oregon is one of the worst states in the country for discovering overpayments.

According to the Labor Department, Oregon officials only know about 28 percent of overpayments. The average rate nationwide is 58 percent.

Employment agency officials say it’s a “serious problem,” and that they hope to be in compliance within a year.

Winter is one the most productive trophy fishing times of the year for sauger, striped bass and even largemouth bass from farm ponds if the weather conditions cooperate.

Sauger bite better as the temperatures drop in December and January. They are arguably the most consistent biter of any fish in winter. Plus, sauger fillets taste fantastic, comparable to walleye in flavor and firmness of the meat.

The tailraces of reservoir dams and the areas immediately downstream of locks and dams on the major rivers make the highest percentage spots to consistently catch winter sauger. As the water cools in winter, they stack up below these dams in impressive numbers. Locks and dams on the Ohio River from Meldahl Lock and Dam near Foster, Kentucky in Bracken County downstream to Smithland Lock and Dam near Smithland in Livingston County all produce excellent winter sauger fishing.

The locks and dams in the Kentucky River also offer highly productive sauger fishing all winter long, due to a stocking effort from the fisheries division of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. Population sampling earlier this year showed sauger up to 18 inches long in the Kentucky River below Lock and Dam 5 near Tyrone, but they exist in good numbers up and down the river.

Sauger are also increasingly showing up in the Cumberland River just below Wolf Creek Dam. They also swim in great numbers below in the Tennessee River below Kentucky Lake and in the Cumberland River downstream of Lake Barkley.

Sauger hit lures that imitate shad. Four-inch shad-shaped swimbaits work great on these fish as do white, chartreuse and lime green curly-tailed grubs. Sauger live on or near the bottom, so use a heavy enough leadhead to get these lures down to them. Bring plenty as you will get hung up often. Small silver jigging spoons also work well for sauger, but a leadhead tipped with a crappie minnow may work best of all.

Those same tailraces areas below locks and dams on the Ohio River and below Kentucky and Barkley dams hold excellent numbers of striped bass that bite all winter long. Live shad drifted in the current work well for these bruisers as do heavy white doll flies cast into the roiling water.

Striped bass are currently in the heads of creeks on Lake Cumberland and remarkably shallow for this time of year. The upper lake runs murky to muddy with quite a bit of drift in the water right now, so the lower lake from Jamestown Marina to Wolf Creek Dam is the best area to fish.

Anglers report thick schools of shad in the upper most section of the creeks and striped bass-sized chartreuse hair jigs and jig spinners are producing fish. Bottom fishing on main lake points with shiners or shad is also working well for stripers, plus an occasional smallmouth bass.

Another excellent winter fishing opportunity is our catch and release trout streams. Trout are a cold water species and winter’s howling winds and cold nights don’t bother them at all. Anglers may only use artificial lures on these streams from Oct. 1 to March 31. You may not use the organic pastes or nuggets such as PowerBait during this season. These streams revert to statewide regulations for the rest of the year.

Both spinning and fly-casting anglers can catch trout all winter long from the catch and release streams. Fly anglers need to get their offerings near the bottom in winter and nymphs, smaller stone fly imitations and small leech patterns work well in winter.

Small 1/32-once brown or olive marabou jigs produce winter trout in these streams. Work them slowly on the bottom in the deeper holes as you would for smallmouth bass. Black, red or grey in-line spinners also draw strikes from hungry trout in December and January. These streams flow extremely clear during winter, so use no more than 4-pound test monofilament or fluorocarbon.

Consult the 2011-2012 Kentucky Fishing and Boating Guide for a list of the catch and release trout streams or visit the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife homepage at Some of the best ones are East Fork, Indian Creek in the Red River Gorge National Geologic Area in Menifee County, Otter Creek at the Otter Creek Park Outdoor Recreation Area in Meade County, Casey Creek in Trigg County and Rock Creek in the Daniel Boone National Forest in McCreary County.

A warm front of three days or more or a warm rain brings largemouth bass to the shallow ends of farm ponds during winter. A 3-inch black grub rigged weedless on a 1/16-ounce leadhead is a deadly lure for these fish. A brown or black hair jig in the same weight fished without a trailer also works for winter farm pond largemouth bass. Work these lures as slowly as possible as to entice lethargic winter largemouths. You won’t get many strikes, but the largemouths that do strike are usually large females, using a productive feeding situation to nourish the developing eggs in their bellies.

The holiday season is one of the most overlooked and productive time of year to fish. Plus, you likely won’t see another angler all day. Get out of the house and enjoy it.

The Historic Heart of Aspen

Hotel Jerome, Colorado

Hotel Jerome

In 1889, New York tycoon Jerome Wheeler built a Victorian luxury hotel in a burgeoning silver-mining town situated in a river valley amid glorious mountains. The grandeur might have seemed out of place back then, but today it fits into Aspen's ritzy ambience. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Wheeler's Hotel Jerome maintains its exquisite 19th-century soul and atmosphere, but it's been thoroughly retrofitted with the modern trappings—heated outdoor pool, Jacuzzis, bars, restaurants—you expect from a boutique auberge. The cherry on top? Head any direction from your finely appointed room to find diversionary action like fly-fishing, road and trail biking, and gobs of hiking. Across the street is world-renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa's decadent Matsuhisa Aspen, a mecca for mind-blowing Japanese fare. Hold off on dessert, though, and hit the Jerome for orgasmic white-chocolate banana cream pie at Jacob's Corner. Doubles from $460; 800-331-7213,

Spanish Colonial Style by the Sea

Four Seasons Biltmore, California

Four Seasons Resort

This sanctuary on the beach four miles east of downtown Santa Barbara is pure, laid-back Southern California chic. Don't miss the must-do's—loll by the pool with a strawberry daiquiri and spoil yourself at the spa with an avocado-citrus body wrap. You'll stay in the 1927 Spanish colonial hotel, with its 207 guest rooms, or one of 12 cottages concealed in a maze of red-brick pathways and gardens full of eucalyptus, jasmine, bougainvillea, and roses. Your on-site culinary options are twofold: Play it casual at the Patio, which serves local seafood, or dress it up at La Marina. Venture away from this refuge on the sea to deep-sea-fish for halibut, red snapper, and swordfish; boat to the Channel Islands to watch blue whales and dolphins; or take a sailing lesson. Better yet, get in touch with your inner oenophile in wine country, less than an hour inland. Doubles from $580; 805-969-2261,

Diamond on the Rogue

Tu Tu' Tun Lodge, Oregon

After kayaking a calm stretch of the Rogue River and hiking the Shrader Trail through forest that feels primeval—packed with rhododendrons, cedars, and firs—you might feel like you're in pre-pioneer Oregon. Thankfully, not so. You're a hop away from Tu Tu' Tun Lodge, the perfect melding of Pacific Northwest wilderness and rich comfort. Everything here is alive with textures: Granite counters, wool carpet, and down pillows make up your suite. Before dinner, drink a local pinot noir on the terrace and watch the resident pair of ospreys fish for their dinner as you await yours. Tu Tu' Tun revolves around an appetite—for food and fitness the outdoors way—so dinner is bound to taste good, and it might even surprise you. Had a good mesquite-grilled white sturgeon with wasabi-ginger butter lately? Doubles from $165; 800-864-6357,

Barrier Island Sanctuary

The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island, Georgia

The Lodge on Little St. Simons Island, Georgia

All manner of visitors have passed Little St. Simons Island's pristine shores, from Guale Indians searching for oysters 1,300 years ago to the Swiss colonist who tried transforming it into a plantation to the New York businessman who bought it in 1908 as a family retreat. Now the resort is open to anyone, but only 30 people at a time. Guests don't come here for the history, though; they come to collect shells on the three empty beaches, paddle a sea kayak, or search the salty wetlands for wildlife. The 10,000-acre barrier island is reachable only by boat and is home to river otters, loggerhead turtles, and enormous numbers of birds, such as bald eagles, brown pelicans, and long-billed curlews. Served family style in the yellow dining room, the Low Country cuisine includes anything from pecan-crusted pork loin to crispy flounder with Georgia peach chutney. Doubles from $600, including transport from the mainland, activities, and all meals; 888-733-5774,

Classic Adirondacks

Lake Placid Lodge, New York

Lake Placid Lodge
(courtesy, Lake Placid Lodge)

Emulate the likes of Teddy Roosevelt and relax in Great Camp style in the Adirondacks. Lake Placid Lodge, situated on the shore of its namesake, on the northern edge of six-million-acre Adirondack Park, has got R&R dialed. You'll sleep on feather beds with hand-sewn Egyptian and Belgian cotton sheets, dine on Continental cuisine made from local ingredients, and bask in the beauty of the mountains. Bike or hike 15 miles to the hamlet of Keene on the Jack Rabbit Trail, through forests of birch, Scotch pine, oak, and maple. Or stay close to home and canoe Lake Placid. The best thing about this 17-room lodge and its 17 log cabins is that you'll never grow bored with lounging. You've got your choice of venues: around the bonfire at night, on the expansive lakefront porch at dusk, or in your cabin—on Adirondack twig furniture—long into the morning. Doubles from $400, including breakfast; 877-523-2700,

New England, Old Charm

Twin Farms, Vermont

Twin Farms, Vermont

Classic New England meets modern opulence amid 300 acres of rolling meadows and groves of sugar maple, white pine, and birch in Barnard, Vermont. Stay in one of four guest rooms in the clapboard farmhouse (dating to the late 1700s and once the home of Sinclair Lewis) or any of ten cottages, each outfitted distinctively, from Moroccan style with Persian rugs to fishing-lodge antiques. Recreate simply—canoe or fish for trout and bass in the peaceful eight-acre pond—and then soak up the farm's modern accoutrements, like the blue-glass-tiled steam room and deep-sea body wrap at the spa. In the dining room, local ingredients become temporary works of art, like Maine lobster with truffled fava-bean puree or lamb chop with a rosemary-lavender salt crust. Farmhouse suites from $1,050 per night, including meals, beverages, and activities; 800-894-6327,

Delray Delightful

Sundy House, Florida

Sundy House, Florida

Hiding in an acre overflowing with 500 tropical plant species is the fantastical Sundy House, an oasis in downtown Delray Beach. Though the Victorian-era house is a landmark on the National Register of Historic Places, it's anything but dusty. In every corner, you'll discover unique details: a bed suspended in air, a sunset painted on the ceiling, red-cork wallpaper, and blue suede walls. Swim with turtles and angelfish in the naturally filtered swimming pond. Venturing away from this self-contained wonderland only brings more pleasures, like snorkeling or windsurfing in the southern Atlantic, minutes away. Stay for Sundy's Sunday brunch, a lavish affair with everything from eggs Benedict made with Florida lobster to raspberry ham with mango cole slaw. Doubles from $175; 561-272-5678,

Enchanted Canyon

Zion Lodge, Utah

Zion Lodge, Utah

In the 1930s and '40s, the Union Pacific Railroad enticed people to buy tickets by building great lodges in America's western national parks. Nowadays, no one has to be lured to these parks, especially 147,000-acre Zion, with its dramatic slot canyons and sandstone cliffs; the park sees about 2.5 million visitors a year. Union Pacific's Zion Lodge still exists, though it burned down and was reconstructed in 1966. Plunked in the middle of Zion Canyon and surrounded by old cottonwoods, it's the only lodging in the park—and the ideal adventure base camp. Take the Angels Landing trail six miles to the rim of the canyon for hold-on-to-the-edge-of-your-seat views. You'll come home to plush leather chairs and wood-paneled walls in the refurbished lodge, which has 125 simple but comfortable rooms and log cabins. Southwestern-style meals are served at the Red Rock Grill. Doubles from $125; 888-297-2757,

Appalachian Cabin Chic

Fort Lewis Lodge, Virginia

Fort Lewis Lodge, Virginia

In 1750, to protect settlers from Indian raids, Colonel Charles Lewis built a stockade on 3,200 acres of fertile land in western Virginia's Allegheny Mountains. Today, Fort Lewis is still a safe haven, but from more modern stresses. A mid-1800s brick farmhouse, grist mill, and silo built by Lewis's descendants remain, and three historic hand-hewn log cabins have been reassembled here. Rooms are accented with Appalachia: patchwork quilts, Shaker-style furniture, and early American paintings. Outside, not much has changed either—except the means with which to explore. Take a hardtail mountain bike on trails threading the property and adjacent George Washington National Forest. Fish or swim in the Cowpasture, one of the East's cleanest rivers. Beef, chicken, ribs, salmon, or swordfish is grilled nightly and served with homemade breads and fresh veggies. Doubles from $175, including breakfast and dinner; 540-925-2314,

Watch The Avett Brothers on <i> Jimmy Kimmel Live!</i>

In support of the release of their newest album, The Carpenter, The Avett Brothers appeared on  Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night to perform two tracks their latest record.

The short performance gave a good impression of two of the strongest tracks from The Carpenter. An upbeat rendition of “Live and Die,” complete with banjo solo and a sing-along chorus, kicked off the set in spectacular fashion. The second song, careful ballad “February Seven,” clearly displayed the compatibility between siblings Scott and Seth Avett, who beautifully echoed one another in the song’s final lines.

Check out videos for both performances below. The Carpenter is available now.

How this novel came to be

When you start something like this, you might not even have a place to put it or what to call it.  You just have a bunch of thoughts and ideas that might make a good story . . . or might not.  I have been working on novels for a long time . . . way back since 1970.   That is a long time!  Closing in on 50 years!

But as far as formal novels go, this one is the fifth.  So just to get organized when I had no clue what it would be called I started out using "CallItFive" as a working, filing title.  It gave me a chance to put things in a place where I could find them again.

And I've got to give Elizabeth George credit for getting me started again.  Her book about writing, "Write Away", emphasized starting with the characters.  In fact she has a very helpful series of steps for putting a story together.

So I had an idea about the dangers of houses and how that might make a good story.  Oh, and it takes place in 1979 and has nothing to do with this picture.  I just like the picture.

Mobile Photo Editing: Snapseed for Beginners

User friendly photo-editing app for your phone or tablet

By Jeff Lopez in Articles and Tips on Oct 5, 2017
Mobile Photo Editing: Snapseed for Beginners

Snapseed is a user friendly photo-editing application currently developed by Google. It has a very comprehensive layout, which at first handles very differently to other popular photo editing apps, but in time you will probably begin to like it a lot. Although it's not up to the magical prowesses of desktop imaging editors, like Adobe Lightroom and CaptureOne, it certainly holds up it own in terms of versatility and power to these, and I would say it is the best mobile photography editor in Google Play. This article does not pretend to be a full tutorial, it is mostly focused on a beginner's approach to it, yet there will be some examples that explore some really good "pro" wise features that will be useful as we learn to use it. Before anything, I must mention that this review is based on the Snapseed Android version, (Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Android 6) and the examples will be JPG. Recently Snapseed added basic RAW support (as of version 2.17), but RAW file management is very poor. It needs some very complicated workarounds which I prefer not to discuss inside the article.

Pentax eBooks

To begin, tap the Snapseed icon and it will open up a black screen with a small herald flag on the bottom or side. The flag hides a section called Insights, where you can see several Snapseed tutorials by users and world photographers. You really should have a look at that, as there are extremely helpful tips and images that you may want to apply towards your editing work, and you can apply their editing steps to your own photos.

There is a pencil icon, which contains Snapseed tools and filters.Up to the right side, there are 3 icons. The first icon is for exporting and sharing to other apps, like Facebook, email, and Clipboard. The second icon is for editing management, and the third icon is for online help and image details. As long your image EXIF is present, it will show the most important EXIF details of your selected image.

We tap on the middle of the black screen of Snapseed, we get to see the Gallery. Select a image and we may enlarge and move around your picture. You will see a box overlay, which represents your picture. As we move and enlarge, the blue box inside the square reduces its size, and it corresponds to the visible photo area.

I highly recommend practicing this, so you can get a grip on touch screen editing, for it will be needed to spot and area edits on your images.  For now, leave your picture without cropping, and tap the pencil icon. You will see 3 sections with several labels. Tools contains image editing tools, Filters contains several popular filters, (Instagram like), and Face, which are useful portraits tools.

(Click on a screen shot to enlarge and browse)

Lets tap on Tune Image. This box is a collection of the most applied image fixers you would find on desktop image editors. As you might notice, there are no sliders on the bottom of the screen. There is a Histogram icon, an Adjust icon, an Auto Adjust icon, and the Discard and Apply icon. When you tap on Adjust or on the image, you will see a menu popup on the middle of the image. The menu scrolls up and down, like a web page, highlighting an editing option.

Let's select Brightness. We slide a finger from left to right to adjust, and you will see a slider on the top of your screen that reflects your selected level. There is also a Compare icon on the top right on the screen. Tap on this icon, and you will see your editing results against the original image. Experiment with Tune Image, and don't worry about your original picture. Snapseed is non destructive and will always output and save an edited copy of your image.

(Click on a screen shot to enlarge and browse)

Ok, tap on your Back icon and select Healing. This is a tool that "smudges" a spot or area, it mixes a surrounding area to your selected spot. You may tap for spot editing or finger slide for an area. As you may notice, it would be better to enlarge and move your image within the box overlay, for the screen is waiting for the healing edits to be made. Healing is not very good at spot removal; you cannot select an area and apply like Lightroom, but for skin and big uniform areas, it does the job. If you need to step back, select the Undo curved arrow at the bottom. You may Undo or Redo 25 times.

Tap Back. You should play with Expand, Perspective, and Selective. These tools are what really make Snapseed standout from other mobile editors. For example, Expand creates a bigger picture using border areas from your picture. Perspective manipulates the relative all around skew of an image.

Selective allows you to Tune Image on selected areas on your picture, by assigning up to 8 points. Each point has several options when you press a point. You may Tune Image a selected area using the same scrolling scheme as the basic Tune Image tool, copy the edits to another point, erase the edits, or back step them. You may also hide the points tapping the Hide icon and tap again to show them.

(Click screen shot to enlarge and browse)

Brush lets you select by tap spot or slide several sub features like Dodge and Burn, Exposure, Temperature, and Saturation. Each has its own modifiers and tapping on the Eye icon reveals what area are adjusted.

Curves is another feature which will mostly appeal to landscape photographers. Tap Curves and you will see a box with a sliding diagonal blue dot. If you tap and slide the dot, the overall image changes hues, tones, and luminosity. If you need better control, there is an Channel icon, at the bottom of the screen, where you may select RGB, Red, Green,Blue, and Luminance aspects.There is also a Style icon, where you may select a preset based on this tool.

After you are done with your edits, tap the second icon on the top right of the screen. It pops a selection menu where you can undo, redo, and revert your edits. You may also view the edits. Tap View Edits, and at the bottom you will see a list of all your edits done to your image. If you long tap on a edit, you will see a left menu where you may erase, readjust, invert and mask your edit. Very handy to have, so you would not need to redo all your edits.

(Click screen shot to enlarge and browse)

Go Back and select My Looks. This will show you a small copy of your picture. Below the picture there are 3 dots. Tap on the dots and you will see another screen where you may apply your edits to another image or even append those edits to another set of edits. Go Back and tap the second icon again and select Save Look. This will save your set of edits with a label. When you open another picture, you may apply all your previous edits to the new picture, and even select whatever edits you like to apply or not.

Tap the first icon at the top, right hand side to save, share, or export:

(Click screen shot to enlarge and browse)

We are pretty much done with basic usage of Snapseed and with some advanced concepts explained. This is probably what most photographers would work with and get some nice results.

(Beware, for here be dragons, on social web lands yonder.)

Filters, filters, filters. We all have dabbled on those, whether we liked or not. But there are times that a crazy filter will turn a ho hum picture into a viral Instagram or whatever there is these days. Snapseed is really wonderful; if you are a serious, paid for job photographer, it has you covered. If you are the selfie, instant pic posting wonder, Google has you covered too!

Snapseed has a lot of filters, from Vintage to Lens Blur, and all these filters are quite elastic. For example, you may select Double Exposure to layer images and adjust the opacity and style of the overlaid image. HDR Scape will produce HDR like results, where you may select and adjust styles, modes, colors, and HDR strength. Vintage has over 10 filters, where you may modify each filter effects. Lens Blur applies DOF effects, where you may use as a tilt shift for that diorama or tiny toy look.

(Click thumbnails to enlarge and browse)

Face and Pose filters are quite useful for portraits, but there has to be a face that would be at least 20% of the picture, or else these filters will not work. Snapseed will try to autodetect a face, and if it's not prominent enough, Snapseed will try again until it finds one or just give up. There is no way to select a face manually. I really hope this will change on future versions of Snapseed. Face will offer you several portrait filters like selective brightness and softness. These are adjustable once you select one. Pose is perspective for portraits. You may adjust and skew a portrait, for example, longer or shorter chin, broaden or narrow noses, etc. These filters are not toys, though. Adjusting these parameters are as good and complicated as in Adobe Photoshop.

In closing the article I have to say I really like Snapseed. I am not a photographer, at least not to an Ambassador level, but for what I use Snapseed for, it fits me perfectly. I do a lot of on-spot product photography, and I need to wow potential customers there and now. They will not wait 3 days for me to post process their pictures, and I hardly carry more than my camera and 2 lenses, probably a flash. So this is my portable studio: camera bag, Note 4, and Snapseed. If you need hardcore professional results, Snapseed would not replace what you have on your PC. But if you are on the go or in a tight situation, it will be a lifesaver.

Peterborough set to go vegan…. plant-based food the way of the future?

A change in dietary habits could prove to be beneficial for you and your neighbour in light of what the BBC uncovered this year.  When Dutch chicken eggs were found to have insecticides within some egg products, like sandwich fillings for example.  These contaminated eggs could cause adverse effects on your kidneys; liver and thyroid glands.

Scrambled egg any one?….

This is yet another food scandal not so long after the horse meat affair.  Millions of consumers were misled and inadvertently ate horses rather than the desired beef.  This involved a number of UK Supermarket chains being forced to initiate a series of product recalls which threw the spotlight on British food supply chains.  Health experts called this food fraud.  I call it deliberate disregard to consumer choice and quality.

Where is the quality control?

These recent incidents raise concerns about the competency of the regulators to ensure that we are eating what it says on the label.  Even the red tops found space to print it……

Even if it is what it says on the tin, is it good for your body though?

I’ve been involved recently with some academic research regarding the meat and dairy industry/food and their effects on our bodies and the environment.  Although, I don’t discuss environmental impacts here, there will be more insightful articles to follow.  Watch this space……

The research introduced me to some very interesting culture shocks and even raised an internal conflict.  That cognitive dissonance forces you to see the world in a completely different way.  I began to appreciate the world around me in a way I wasn’t accustomed to.  Probably the most controversial change, was finding out that animal products are said to be bad for you.

Luckily in Peterborough & Cambridgshire, the NHS and are promoting a reduction in the consumption of; dairy, red and processed meat  This is due to the illnesses associated and the rise in health care costs required to treat conditions such as: bowel (colorectal) cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity, to name a few.  Summer time BBQs don’t look so hot now…..

Red and processed meats include: hot dogs, ham, sausages, corned beef, bacon, gammon, pepperoni, pork, lamb chops, beef-steak, chorizo and canned meats. 70 grams is the advised maximum daily amount.  Anything above this number and you are significantly increasing your risk to the above conditions.  70 grams is approximately two thin slices of beef or lamb.

So much for a mixed grill!  A meal where you are literally risking your life.

As a result, some consumers (and I) are taking up more of a plant-based diet.

Is this the healthier option?

Recent scientific studies have shown that it is animal protein which is linked to detrimental effects on human health.

But I thought animal protein was good for you?

These investigations exposed correlations to ill health regardless of the animal or food type.  Even cow’s milk increases your risk to cancer.  Plant-based proteins, however, have been found to reduce the cancer-causing effect and (the good news keeps coming) our levels of cholesterol too.

Dining out need not be so life threatening any more for Peterborians, as we will soon have our very own VEGAN restaurant, and many existing outlets now provide vegan options to the health-conscious consumer too.

Peterborough City Council and the NHS are taking the essential need for a healthy diet extremely seriously.

The website has been setup to inform and advise of best food and lifestyle practices.

If you would like to know more about the benefits of plant-based diets or the illnesses associated to animal protein, the following links offer more detail.
