Austrian rabbi; born at Flosz, Bavaria, 1803; died at Vöslau, near Vienna, June 11, 1868. He was the son of David Joshua Hoeshel, rabbi of Flosz, and grandson of Ẓebi Hirsch Horwitz, rabbi of Frankfort-on-the-Main. In 1822 his father was called to the rabbinate of Frauenkirchen, Hungary. Horowitz was educated in Talmud by his father until, at the age of eighteen, he was sent to Presburg to continue his studies under Moses Schreiber (from 1821 to 1825). In the latter year he was called home by the death of his father, and the congregation of Frauenkirchen elected him as his successor; Horowitz, however, refused the call. He lived for some time at Deutsch-Kreuz, where he married. In 1828 private affairs called him to Vienna, where he made the acquaintance of the banker Isaac Lüw von Hoffmannsthal, through whose influence he was appointed rabbi of the community; Horowitz heldthat position until his death. As the Jews of Vienna, however, were not recognized as a corporation and could not engage a rabbi, his official title was that of "supervisor of ritual" ("Ritualienaufseher") until the constitution of 1848 abolished their disabilities. In 1828 he instituted the Talmud Torah; in 1835 he established a society (Shas Ḥebra) for the study of the Talmud.
Among Horowitz's disciples were Albert Cohn, Gerson Wolf, and Abraham Schmiedel. True to the teachings of his master, he was very strict in all questions of the ritual law, though he made many concessions to the spirit of the time, especially where the harmony and peace of the congregation were involved. He prohibited not only the use, but even the sale, during Passover, of loaf sugar which had not been manufactured under ritual supervision ("Yad Eleazar," No. 22); he would not allow during Passover the use of enameled vessels which had been used during the year (ib. Nos. 84, 96); he prohibited the sale of sacred scrolls to non Jews, even when it could be safely presumed that they would not profane them (ib. No. 76); he prohibited the use of stearin candles in the synagogue (ib. No. 58); in the case of a Jewish manufacturer of chinaware, he insisted that he should not manufacture any human figure without a defect sufficient to avoid transgression of the second commandment (ib. No. 129). He supported those who decided, in the Flörsheim case in Frankfort-on-the-Main, that an uncircumcised boy was not a Jew (Trier, "Rabbinische Gutachten über die Beschneidung," Frankfort-on-the-Main, 1844), as well as those who protested against the rabbinical conference of Brunswick ("Shelome Emune Yisrael," 1845); and he rendered a decision against the Reform party in Mantua who wished to abolish the second day of the holy days ("Yad Eleazar," No. 131). On the other hand, he decided, supported by Moses Schreiber, that meẓiẓah was not obligatory in Circumcision, physicians having declared it dangerous (ib. No. 55; "Kokebe Yiẓḥaḳ." i. 44-51). When a difficulty arose in the congregation of Dessau in regard to performing in the synagogue a marriage ceremony which the Orthodox had condemned, he declared that the maintenance of peace in the congregation was of far greater weight than such a question.

The IMF has provided a three-year financial arrangement of about $434.3 million to support Mongolia's economic reform programme, with other financial partners such as the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, Japan and South Korea also providing back-up.
Mongolia grew at a double-digit annual rate over 2011-2013 as foreign investors rushed in to take advantage of its vast untapped mineral deposits. But clashes with investors, government overspending and declining commodity export revenues slowed growth to 1 percent last year and tipped the country into an economic crisis.
"This is one of the biggest programmes in IMF history in terms of countries' GDPs," said Neil Saker, IMF's Mongolia representative, at a press briefing in Ulaanbaatar.
"The absolutely critical objective is to break the boom-bust cycle seen in Mongolia in the last 15 years," he added.
Mongolian finance minister Battogtokh Choijilsuren said the package was designed to stabilise the economy, impose fiscal discipline and boost competitiveness, adding that Mongolia would aim to bring its budget deficit to under 2 percent of its gross domestic product by 2021, down from 17 percent now.
The deal will enable Mongolia to swap $550 million in debt held by the Development Bank of Mongolia for new sovereign bonds worth $600 million due in 2024. It also included a three-year extension to a 15 billion yuan (1.7 billion pounds) swap agreement with the People's Bank of China.
The formal confirmation of the package, first proposed in February, was delayed from last month amid concerns about a controversial clause in Mongolia's legislation that forced "strategically important" mines, such as the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mine run by Rio Tinto, to conduct transactions through local banks.
The government has subsequently annulled the banking requirement in order to push the IMF deal through.
Mongolia has agreed to cut spending, raise taxes and the retirement age, while pledging to maintain a flexible exchange rate and build a stronger regulatory environment for banking and finance.
Candidates running in next month's presidential elections may try to make political capital out of the painful austerity measures introduced by the ruling Mongolian People's Party (MPP), which is fielding Miyeegombo Enkhbhold, currently parliamentary speaker.
Businessman and former martial artist Khaltmaa Battulga is contesting the vote on behalf of the main opposition Democratic Party, while the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party has nominated former independent Sainkhuu Ganbaatar.
Both challengers have gained popularity partly through their resource-nationalist rhetoric and their suspicion of foreign investors.

Two jail guards arrested over Jeffrey Epstein's death: Report

NEW YORK — Two jail officers falsified records to cover up their failure to check in on accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the hours before the financier killed himself, U.S. prosecutors said on Tuesday.
According to an indictment, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas fell asleep and surfed the internet instead of monitoring Epstein, who was found unresponsive on Aug. 10 in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Manhattan. An autopsy concluded that Epstein hanged himself.
Two jail guards arrested over Jeffrey Epstein's death: Report Back to video
Epstein's suicide, at age 66, came a little over a month after the well-connected money manager was arrested and charged with trafficking dozens of underage girls as young as 14 from at least 2002 to 2005. He had pleaded not guilty.
In an afternoon hearing, Noel and Thomas pleaded not guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn to charges they falsely certified to having conducted inmate counts during Epstein's final hours, and to a conspiracy charge. They are each expected to be released on bail.
"It is our hope that we will be able to reach a reasonable agreement in this case," Noel's lawyer, Jason Foy, told reporters outside the courthouse, but added that his client was prepared to defend against the charges.
Thomas's lawyer, Montell Figgins, said his client was disappointed that prosecutors had decided to charge him criminally.
"We look forward to our day in court and we hope there will be a positive resolution," he said.
The defendants were the first to be criminally charged in connection with Epstein's death, which embarrassed federal officials because the case had an unusually high profile.
Attorney General William Barr said in August he had been "appalled" to learn of Epstein's death.
Prosecutors are also examining the activities of people who Epstein's accusers say helped him engage in sex trafficking.
No one checked on Epstein in the eight hours before he was found unresponsive in his cell, according to the indictment.
Prosecutors said Noel and Thomas, the only correctional officers on duty in Epstein's unit, appeared to have fallen asleep for two hours during their shift.
Noel spent some of her waking hours surfing the internet for furniture sales and benefit websites, they said, while Thomas looked up websites for motorcycle sales and sports news.
Noel had been a correctional officer in the Manhattan jail since 2016, and Thomas since 2007, prosecutors said.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which runs the jail, the last inmate suicide there occurred in 2006.
Epstein had been taken off suicide watch shortly before his death.
"Any allegations of misconduct are taken very seriously by the agency and will be responded to appropriately," prison bureau director Kathleen Hawk Sawyer said in a statement. "I am committed to this agency and am confident we will restore the public's trust in us."
Noel, 31, was charged with five counts of falsifying records, while Thomas, 41, was charged with three counts.
Those charges and the related conspiracy charges each carries a maximum five-year prison term.
"The defendants had a duty to ensure the safety and security of federal inmates in their care," U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said in a statement. "Instead, they repeatedly failed to conduct mandated checks on inmates, and lied on official forms to hide their dereliction."
Latest Epstein accuser calls on Prince Andrew to talk to U.S. authorities
Prince Andrew 'categorically' denies sex claims in BBC interview
Executors of Jeffrey Epstein's estate propose victim compensation fund
Epstein's brother and lawyers who represented him in his criminal case have expressed doubts about the medical examiner's suicide finding.
There was no indication that Epstein's death was "anything other than a suicide," Hawk Sawyer said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on oversight of the prison bureau.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General have also been investigating the circumstances of Epstein's death.
Epstein's estate, worth an estimated $577 million, is now the target of civil lawsuits by more than a dozen of his accusers. Executors for the estate have proposed creating a victim compensation fund to resolve the claims.
Epstein's friends once included U.S. President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton and Britain's Prince Andrew.
One of Epstein's accusers has said in a lawsuit that she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew. The prince has denied that claim.

Q: Reverse Order Of Object[] Param I am using this syntax in my foreach loop and it loops through as it should, but is there a way to have the loop start at the last index instead of the first?
This is the syntax I am using to start at the first element, but could it be altered so that it starts reverse?
foreach (BD bData in bl.NameList)
{
Object[] param = new Object[2];
param[0] = bData.m_Width;
param[1] = bData.m_Height;
DataGrid1.Rows.Insert(0, param);
}

A: I am not sure what data type BD is, but I have to assume it is an indexable list (i.e. it has a this[int] property, and either a Count, GetUpperBound(), or Length property). Otherwise the question "can I do it in reverse order?" is a meaningless question, because you would be working with a list with indeterminate order which would also have an indeterminate reverse order.
So, given that it is indexable, you simply need to use a for loop instead of foreach.
for (int i = bd.NameList.Count-1; i>=0; i--)
{
    var bData = bd.NameList[i];
    Object[] param = new Object[2];
    param[0] = bData.m_Width;
    param[1] = bData.m_Height;
    DataGrid1.Rows.Insert(0, param);
}

Or... if you love the enumerator... just use Add(X) instead of Insert(0, X), which will append to the end of the list. Obviously this will only work if you are adding to a DataGridViewRowCollection and may not work in other situations.
foreach (BD bData in bl.NameList)
{
    Object[] param = new Object[2];
    param[0] = bData.m_Width;
    param[1] = bData.m_Height;
    DataGrid1.Rows.Add(param);
}

A: You could use reverse the list before putting it through foreach, but that is not as efficient as simply using a for loop and iterating through it backwards, as described here: Possible to iterate backwards through a foreach?

IIS Publishes The First Aga Khan: Memoirs of the 46th Ismaili Imam
As part of its Diamond Jubilee series of publications, the IIS has released the first English translation and a new Persian edition of the memoirs of Aga Khan I. The Persian text has been edited using the original manuscript and previously published editions in Persian, and translated into English by Dr Daniel Beben and Dr Daryoush Mohammad Poor. The book has an insightful foreword by Dr Farhad Daftary and a comprehensive introduction by Dr Daniel Beben, providing a detailed historical background and analysis of the events relevant to the life of Aga Khan I.
The text of the 'Ibrat-afzā as a primary source is particularly significant in terms of three distinct contexts: the Nizārī Ismaili Imamat ; power politics at the contemporary Qājār court of Persia with its strong Sufi underpinnings; and the evolving relations between Aga Khan I and the British in India. The memoir provides insights into the Aga Khan's move from Persia to India and details the journey he and his companions made in the middle of the 19th century. It begins with a brief account of his childhood and the relationship the Ismaili Imamat had with the Qajar dynasty, before exploring the tensions that arose between the two, and the final departure of Aga Khan I from Persia. The book details the subsequent settlement of Aga Khan I in India, which effectively moved the Seat of the Nizārī Ismaili Imamat there in 1851, after being in Persia for more than seven centuries.
The introduction to the memoir provides audiences with valuable contextualisation on the relations between the Ismaili Imamat and the Qajar kings and the Nimatullahi Sufi order. Closer ties were established between the Imamat and the Qajars as a result of the marriage of Aga Khan I with Fath Ali Shah's daughter, after the murder of Shah Khalilullah, the 45th Ismaili Imam , in Yazd. Upon the submission of the grievances of the Imam's widow to the Qajar monarch, the next Ismaili Imam, Muhammad Hasan al-Husayni, also known as Hasan Ali Shah, was given the title 'Aga Khan' by the king. The king then gave his daughter in marriage to the Ismaili Imam and returned the estates of Mahallat and Qum to the Imamat.
Speaking about the significance of the book, co-editor and co-translator, Dr Daryoush Mohammad Poor said:
"The 'Ibrat-afzā is particularly important because it is one of the first pieces of primary literature about the modern period in Ismaili history. Moreover, the text of the memoirs captures some of the key doctrinal aspects of the Ismaili community, namely the foundations of the authority of the Imam as it is anchored in prophetic traditions and verses from the Qur'an . It also gives historical details about the interactions of the Ismaili Imamat with his contemporaries among political figures of Persia and India. If we take into account the purpose of the writing of this book, it is evident that it is not a comprehensive narrative of the departure of Imamat from Persia to India and the subsequent events in India, even though it provides valuable details from the perspective of the Ismaili Imam."
The 'Ibrat-afzā also enables readers to better understand the intimate relations of the Ismaili Imamat with the Nimatullahi Sufi order of the time. At various points throughout the narrative there are paragraphs which speak about the spiritual authority of the Ismaili Imam, contextualising the role of the Aga Khan not simply as a Qajar prince, the son-in-law of the Qajar monarch, but also as a descendant of the Prophet through his daughter, Fatima and his son-in-law, Ali. In the opening of the memoir, the Aga Khan alludes to his lineage and the grounds of his authority in the following terms:
"Blessings be on the rightful executors and the true saints, generation after generation, who are in every one of the ages and eras, the referents of this blessed verse: 'Oh you who believe! Obey God, and obey the Apostle, and those among you who possess authority.' And the content of the hadith : 'Verily I am leaving among you two weighty things, and if you hold on to them you will not go astray after me: the book of God and my progeny/household. They are two outstretched ropes and they will not break and will not be cut until the Day of Judgment, until the two join me at the pond in the hereafter', is a tradition that applies specifically to their generous existence." (p. 77).
This Diamond Jubilee publication which sheds light on the life of Aga Khan I will be of interest to both a general reader and the scholarly community. It is an integral part of the scholarship on Ismaili studies in modern times and the history of the Imamat and the Ismaili community in the modern period.

KERRY O'BRIEN: Australia has one of the highest rates of the disease mesothelioma in the world, with about 500 new cases of the asbestos-related cancer diagnosed here each year. There are few treatment options for mesothelioma. Most patients die within six months of diagnosis. But one man at least has so far beaten the statistics. When Paul Kraus was diagnosed nearly four years ago he was told conventional therapies would not work in his case, and that he had just months to live.
But Paul refused to give in. After radically changing his lifestyle, he's still going strong.
PAUL KRAUS: I was told very shortly after I was diagnosed to accept the diagnosis, but to forget the prognosis. And that is just so vital.
REBECCA BAILLIE: Paul Kraus is in training. While this exercise is keeping him fit, Paul believes it's also helping to save his life.
PAUL KRAUS: I have what's called peritoneal mesothelioma. I was diagnosed four years ago and as far as I've been told, I'm the longest surviving mesothelioma patient in Australia.
REBECCA BAILLIE: Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lung, or, as in Paul's case, the lining of the abdomen. It's usually caused by asbestos exposure.
DR JIM LEIGH, THORACIC SPECIALIST, CONCORD HOSPITAL: The average survival from diagnosis is usually about six months.
REBECCA BAILLIE: So, how unusual is it for someone to have survived four years so far?
DR JIM LEIGH: You do get the occasional case that does survive four years, but they are extremely unusual.
REBECCA BAILLIE: Paul has been performing his exercise regime twice daily for four years since he went into hospital for a routine hernia operation and awoke to some devastating news.
SUE KRAUS: I walked into the hospital room and he just said, "I'm riddled with cancer", and I mean, this was a man who that morning looked extremely well and I just could hardly believe it. The doctor -- for the doctor then to tell him that he had, he thought, 3-6 months to live. It was June and he would not see Christmas.
REBECCA BAILLIE: But Paul didn't accept defeat and he and his wife Sue immediately changed their lifestyle and their attitude.
SUE KRAUS: That's been our philosophy right through this -- what can we do to improve the situation? Also, make living with cancer quite an exciting journey.
PAUL KRAUS: My lifestyle has been turned upside down. But it's a rewarding lifestyle, an exciting lifestyle and a healing journey, as I love to call it, that I wouldn't -- the ultimate irony is that cancer has enriched my life.
REBECCA BAILLIE: Paul's recipe for survival includes a healthy diet, low fat, no sugar, plenty of organic fruit and vegetables and vitamin, mineral and herb supplements.
PAUL KRAUS: In the morning I have a herb called cat's claw which has strong anti-cancer properties.
REBECCA BAILLIE: What does it taste like?
PAUL KRAUS: I better not tell you on camera. It's -- but I'm quite used to it now.
SUE KRAUS: He really believes that he can do a great deal towards healing his body and four years on, he's as determined as he was in the very beginning.
REBECCA BAILLIE: Paul's discipline isn't just based on physical health, but also on having faith and a healthy mind.
PAUL KRAUS: In meditating, and I meditate twice a day, I just focus on quietness, on -- well, if you like, on God's presence within me, of God's power to heal and I visualise my body responding positively to it. To this silence. I've written a couple of books and I regard that as having been very, very therapeutic. Creativity is very therapeutic pursuit.
REBECCA BAILLIE: Have you rejected conventional therapy?
PAUL KRAUS: Absolutely not. No way. Had I been in those early days told that a course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy or if surgery, especially if surgery, would have held out a strong hope of cure, I would have jumped at it.
PROFESSOR AVNI SALI, SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY: It is surprising when someone has a cancer of his kind and when you'd expect that they generally would not do well -- however, he was very positive about getting better.
REBECCA BAILLIE: Professor Avni Sali is a leading surgeon and head of the world's first school of integrated medicine Melbourne's at Swinburne University. The school teaches doctors to use complementary therapies as well as conventional treatments.
PROFESSOR AVNI SALI: They are becoming integrated and I think in future they will become one particular type of medicine. In other words, complete medicine, rather than incomplete medicine and why use only one arm when you can use both arms? It is important, of course, that whatever medicine is practised, it is best of course if there is scientific evidence to actually back it up.
DR ECKARD ROEHRICH, GENERAL PRACTITIONER: The cancer is under good control to say the least.
REBECCA BAILLIE: Dr Eckard Roehrich is Paul Kraus's general practitioner. While he says that his lifestyle seems to be working for him, it won't necessarily work for everyone.
DR ECKARD ROEHRICH: This is not a cancer cure we are talking about. What we can hope for for any cancer sufferer is it will improve their lifestyle, that it will improve their survival chances or at least the quality of life.
SUE KRAUS: I don't think we've found a miracle cure. I think we've simply found a formula for living well with cancer.
REBECCA BAILLIE: While the medical community remains divided about the effectiveness of complementary therapies, for the Krauses the fact that Paul is still alive is proof enough.
PAUL KRAUS: Never give up hope. Hope is a fundamental ingredient of the human spirit and it is a powerful ingredient of survival.

When namesake company founder and sought-after sound designer Rob Papen attended the Dutch Dancefair earlier this year on his home turf to demonstrate his sought-after (soft)wares, little did he know that he would come away with an almost fully-formed idea for an all-new soft synth. So how, exactly, did that happen? Haphazardly, as it happened. Here producers Sebastian Hoff and Freek Vergoossen (a.k.a. DJ Promo and DJ Free-K, respectively) made an approach to propose a synthesizer that focused more on 'distorted' sounds with an easy-to-use layout. Always open to the idea of delivering fresh, cutting-edge, and — moreover — musical plug-ins for producers, whatever their musical leanings, Rob responded favourably by inviting the two DJs to his well-stocked studio for a brainstorming session. Said session resulted in a list of 'must-have' features and tools, sowing the seeds for RAW.
However, in typical Rob Papen style, that's not all. Far from it, in fact. In addition to the flexible X/Y fields found in the feature-packed OSC 1 and OSC 2 sections (which will already be familiar to refined Rob Papen Predator and BLUE-II soft synth users), RAW users can effectively draw their own 'waveforms' to be used as LFO waveforms, enabling the creation of unique 'wobble' sound movements — perfect for dubstep and other EDM styles. Other effects such as CHORUS, FLANGER, PHASER, and STEREO DELAY — not forgetting Rob Papen's proprietary high-quality REVERB — all add to the superlative sound sculpting possibilities on offer, as does the super-cool step sequencer/ arpeggiator, and many more fanciful features above and beyond. But mindful of that original easy-to-use layout request, a self- explanatory Easypage makes things even easier to understand and use — grab and go, so-to-speak!
Speaking of which, user presets are arguably always where it's at when it comes to true originality, of course, but by enlisting the tuned-in talents of world-class DJs and producers — such as Deathmachine, DJ Hidden, DJ Promo, DJ Thera, D-Passion, Ophidian, Mad Dog, Rob Fabrie, N-Vitral, The Playah, The Viper, Warface, and many more besides — to create crowd-pleasing presets galore for RAW alongside the numerous creative contributions from Rob Papen himself instant inspiration is truly guaranteed. Just add tunes, turn up the distortion, and mix to taste... you'll soon be sounding really RAW! All in the best possible taste, of course.
Note that eXplorer-III, Rob Papen's all-encompassing software bundle, now includes RAW as standard, bringing its total product count to 13; competitively priced at €585.00 EUR (including VAT/tax)/$699.00 USD, this represents a significant cost saving of around 50% when compared to separately purchasing each and every Rob Papen virtual instrument and effects plug-in included!
Self-confessed synth freak and world-renowned sound designer Rob Papen started working with synthesizers at the tender age of 15 when purchasing an analogue Korg MS-20 semi-modular monosynth and accompanying analogue SQ-10 sequencer. Suitably inspired, he subsequently released several CDs as part of Dutch electronic music groups Peru and Nova — the latter featuring the same members as Peru, but with a more commercial slant — with whom he enjoyed number one hit singles in The Netherlands (Nova) in 1982 and Austria (Peru) in 1988. Peru disbanded in 1993, by which time Rob had already established himself as a sought-after sound designer, creating presets for the likes of Waldorf, Access, Ensoniq, and E- mu, before going on to found his namesake company in pursuit of creating a sound designer's dream synth. That software dream soon became reality when Rob formed the RPCX (Rob Papen ConcreteFX) partnership with music software developer Jon Ayres to develop new Rob Papen virtual instruments and effects plug-ins, starting with BLUE — an exciting-sounding, self- styled 'Crossfusion Synthesis' affair (combining FM, Phase Distortion,Wave Shaping, and Subtractive synthesis into one powerful dream synth) — in 2005.Today Rob Papen soundware defines cutting-edge contemporary music production: powerful virtual instruments and plug-ins that intermix innovative design, uncompromising sound quality, and musical, production-grade presets to make tracks truly shine, whatever the musical genre... Inspiration Soundware, indeed!

The Son of a Notorious NYC Landlord Was Caught on Film Berating an Uber Driver
ByTom McKay
One of the hardest parts of growing up is leaving home... to build a notorious reputation of one's own.
Jake Croman, the son of an infamous New York City landlord, was caught on camera berating an Uber driver in a slur-filled tirade after the driver cancelled the ride.
Croman's father is the multi-millionaire property mogul Steven Croman, whose practices have repeatedly landed him in hot water with city and state regulators and earned him the honor of being one of the city's worst landlords.
Read more: Sprang Breeaaak and the Short, Sexist History of the Wet T-Shirt Contest
But it was Steven's progeny that stole the dubious spotlight on March 23 in Ann Arbor when driver Artur Zawada captured the younger Croman on tape calling him a "faggot fuck," a "little piece of shit" and a "minimum wage faggot" for refusing to drive him and several friends around. The video has been viewed more than 350,000 times.
"Fuck you Artur, you little faggot fuck," Croman says in the video. "You wanna kick me off? Kick me off, you little piece of shit. You're an Uber driver! Go fucking drive, you little fuck! Minimum wage faggot! Go fuck yourself! ... You're working all night! Guess what? I'm gonna sit on my ass and watch TV. Fuck you!"
According to Gothamist, Jake Croman is a member of the University of Michigan's Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity chapter.
In statements to the Tab, spokespeople for the university, the fraternity and Uber have condemned Croman's behavior
"We are extremely disappointed in the behavior depicted in this video," a university spokesman told the site. "No one should be treated with such disrespect."
For his part, Croman told the Tab the driver refused to pick him up because of his religion. "I am not proud of my reaction to his discrimination and I regret my choice of words. Shortly after the verbal altercation, I filed a complaint with the Ann Arbor Police Department, and they are now dealing with the issue."
In the comments section of the video, Zawada told the story from his side.
This is 4th time that I have been harassed by this rider and his friends. Nov. Dec. and twice in March. I told him on 3rd occasion that I requested Uber to banned him, but he is/was using friends' accounts. Told him and his friends that I will not take them and that he/they need to get out of my car... For that I was falsely accused, called names etc. 4th time... Rider knew from Uber application who is the driver. He had option to cancel to avoid any issues but he/they proceeded to abuse, [harass], belittle and provoke like kindergarten thugs.
Like his father, whose management of his properties inspired his tenants to launch a flyer campaign warning of allegations he systemically attempts to skirt rent regulations, Jake Croman's name is sullied for good — or at least for as long as Google's algorithm sees fit.
Soon after the video was posted, JakeCroman.com, "the public warning website about the world famous Michigan/New York City douchebag Jake Croman" went live.
That'll do it.

Ryu Hyun Jin Suffers 6th Loss of the Season
Angela Jung, June 7, 2017, 9:53 a.m.
Ryu Hyun-jin of the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered his sixth loss of the season but will remain in the starting lineup. Ryu pitched seven innings at home game against the Washington Nationals on Monday, giving up seven hits including one home run and allowing four runs. The Dodgers produced two runs towards the end of the game but it was not enough to prevent Ryu from a loss.
Despite the loss, he managed to throw his fastest pitch of the season at 93.8 mph and lasted seven innings, his longest outing of the season. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game that Ryu will continue to start.The club's starting rotation has a few holes at the moment, with Alex Wood on the disabled list, and Maeda Kenta unable to go the distance in recent games.


To run a 5k go out and run right now. Ok how far did you go? Make it easy count blocks, for a very rough estimate just run 20 city blocks and back. Do what you can every day until you reach this goal. All city blocks are different but 20 is about half. Just keep gradually increasing until you can run run 20 blocks and back. If you want to be exact go http://www.usatf.org/routes/map/ and just trace your running route and it will give you exact distance. Put in your zip code for your city map.
I just don't want to quit running and so I keep taking turns away from the way I planned and away from home. Sometimes if I plan a quick 3 mile it might turn into a 10k or even a 10 miler. Its great to explore some new courses this way. Some of my favorite courses have been found this way and anyway it's not good to keep doing the same courses over and over again every day. Sometimes I just hate to quit running.
Ever line up next to that guy wearing shorts and gloves at a December Jingle Bell Jog? After the race starts you think you are doing ok, so you just stay with him for a while. Long about the first mile split the race is over for you and you just coast the rest of the way, getting one of your worst times. Wouldn't it be great to start pulling away from this guy in the last mile? Well here are some little tricks that just might make that happen. On your daily runs start off from the very first step going your absolute fastest. Try and keep this up for at least a quarter mile.
It seems like my runs are shorter on the cold winter days. I ran a nice little 10k today, my longest run in a while. In the summer I might run 5 or 6 miles every day not just on the weekends. I hate to admit my long runs in winter are just 5 or 6 miles.
Bit of a chilly run today. It is 13 degrees and windy. I wore two layers of everything including gloves. I like those big fuzzy yellow work gloves with the black cotton work gloves inside. My hands stay warm at any temperature with those. Over a t-shirt I had a hooded sweatshirt with a vinyl windbreaker. I also wear a stocking cap under the hood. I hate those stocking caps that keep sliding down over your eyes. I also remove the string on hood or stuff them in side so they don't swing back and forth sometimes hitting your cold cheeks. On days like this I wear two pairs of runners tights.

Presidential election results map. Numbers indicate the number of electoral votes allotted to each state.
President before election
Elected President
The United States presidential election of 1792 was the second presidential election in the United States, and the first in which each of the original 13 states appointed electors (in addition to newly-added states of Kentucky and Vermont). It is also the only presidential election that was not held four years after the previous election, although part of the previous election was technically held four years prior.
As in 1789, George Washington, now president, ran unopposed. Under the system in place then and through the election of 1800, each voting elector cast two votes — the recipient of the greatest number of votes was elected president, the second greatest number, vice-president. As in his first term, Washington is considered to have been elected unanimously.
The recipient of 77 electoral votes, Vice-President John Adams finished second in voting and was therefore re-elected.

George Clinton, Governor of New York
By 1792, a party division had emerged between Federalists led by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, who desired a stronger federal government with a leading role in the economy, and the Democratic-Republicans led by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and Representative James Madison, who favored states' rights and opposed Hamilton's economic program. Madison was at first a Federalist until he opposed the establishment of Hamilton's First Bank of the United States in 1791. He formed the Democratic-Republican Party along with Anti-Federalist Thomas Jefferson in 1792.
The elections of 1792 were the first ones in the United States to be contested on anything resembling a partisan basis. In most states, the congressional elections were recognized in some sense as a "struggle between the Treasury department and the republican interest," to use the words of Jefferson strategist John Beckley. In New York, the race for governor was fought along these lines. The candidates were Chief Justice John Jay, a Hamiltonian, and incumbent George Clinton, who was allied with Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans.
Although Washington had been considering retiring, both sides encouraged him to remain in office to bridge factional differences. Washington was supported by practically all sides throughout his Presidency and gained more popularity with the passage of the Bill of Rights. However, the Democratic-Republicans and the Federalists contested the vice-presidency, with incumbent John Adams as the Federalist nominee and George Clinton as the Democratic-Republican nominee. With some Democratic-Republican electors voting against their nominee George Clinton - voting instead for Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr - Adams easily secured re-election.
The Electoral College chose Washington unanimously. John Adams was again elected vice-president as the runner-up, this time getting the vote of a majority of electors. George Clinton won the votes of only Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, his native New York, and a single elector in Pennsylvania. Thomas Jefferson won the votes of Kentucky, newly separated from Jefferson's home state of Virginia. A single South Carolina elector voted for Aaron Burr.
Only 13,332 popular votes were cast for presidential electors, a record low turnout for a United States presidential election.

Its my SSB. So what if I'm pulling off a Cameron Diaz? It rocks. Especially if you sing the song you're shaking your arse to yourself. Ha,ha. I know I said I'm the worst dancer but I think I'm pretty okay whenever I dance alone.
Andrew has yet need to act blind so when we get hitched he could pretend like he's not seeing anything. BUT he's already seen my silly moves so, no harm there. Ha,ha.
But anyways, this isn't really want I want to talk about. Got you there didn't I? ha,ha!
You know what, in spite of the sad situation I think I'll be in, I still find time to giggle. Giggle meaning laughing my arse off with matching tears.
I've been watching a lot of pinoy programs lately, like Wowowee and Eat Bulaga.
Oh c'mon. Hindi ka tunay na pinoy kung di ka nanonood ng mga programang yan! And don't tell me they don't make you laugh!
But what made me laugh more aside from Willie's antics was suddenly remembering my Kidlat friends and the summer we spent at the canteen doing spoofs of Wowowee. And Louie admitting he was a fan. Hahaha. And Adel would go like, "LOUIE! IKAW ANG BIGATIN!" And they'd all act like they're a part of the show! Hahaha.
I remember Andrew making fun of one of the contestant's dance moves when we were in Batangas. I was on the top bunk of the double bed and I was looking at him dance silly on the floor. I felt like I was going to explode with laughter. It was the first time I have ever laughed genuinely at Andrew's joke. It made me want to hug him so tight and thank him for how much he's making me happy in so many ways. And then I told myself, "This person will make farting so worth it. Alas, I could, would and will totally spend the rest of my life with him." Ha,ha. Okay I made the first part up.
Man, those are definitely the days.
The last time I laughed so hard (and cried at the same time) was while we were watching Nacho Libre with my Kidlat Friends. Man, do I love Esceleto.
Abbie: DUH I HAVE A FINGER!
Oh and someone's been camwhoring again.
It's blurry but I like it. Ha,ha.
Wanna know how much I love Skulls?
OMG Its one of my pa-cute photos. Yuch.
Trying hard rockstar. Pahinga muna sa peace sign. Ha,ha.
Can you ever forgive me for being a camho? Hmm. Maybe not. Who cares anyway?
See, that's why dancing in your knickers helps especially when you're depressed and reminiscent. Or you can just sing along to that song Susan Sarandon would sing in Anywhere but here and at the same time you can imagine that you're Natalie Portman.
Okay. Like that really helps.
Oh, and is it me or is Justin Timberlake's MY LOVE everyone else's LSS?
I love you Strell Ann De La Cruz! We talked on the phone for like two and a half hours. She's leaving for the Philippines today, and its 4 AM now. Ha,ha. I love my Auti friends.

Lady Dannatt MBE: Representing Queen and county

The formality of the title is clear: The Lady Dannatt, MBE, Lord-Lieutenant of Norfolk, representative of Her Majesty the Queen.
But for one of the county's highest profile figures, that appears to be where such formality ends.
"Call me Pippa," she insists, as I ask how she wishes to be addressed.
During our conversation at her home in Keswick, just south of Norwich, I sense this relaxed and approachable demeanour is key to her success in the role.
It is a role where she values contact, meeting people, championing causes, and highlighting the good and the resilience in the wider community of Norfolk, a county she loves dearly and is so passionate about.

This compassion and understanding, I suspect, is what enables her to connect so strongly with the 'grassroots', a word that crops up regularly during our conversation. I interpret it as the importance she puts on the many people – often unheralded – who are doing tremendous work in communities across the county.
This, she recognises, was particularly strong at the height of the coronavirus pandemic where hardships and loneliness were exposed; there was a need, and the community responded.
And these efforts are now being acknowledged by the Lord-Lieutenancy of Pippa Dannatt in the form of blue plaques, recognising the efforts of communities, large and small, for their efforts and resilience in the face of the pandemic.
"I do feel there is a community resilience and I hope we do not lose all the things that we learned during that horrible period of lockdown," she says. "With so much loss, we did learn to come together and serve each other in an extraordinary way and I really want to hold onto that and my feeling is that so far, we are."
The blue plaques – large ones for towns and smaller plaques for villages and communities – were the idea of her vice-Lord Lieutenant, Peter Wilson, and deputy lieutenant Melinda Raker.
"They came up with the idea of giving every community that would like one a plaque to put wherever they like in their community centre, village hall, church, pub, or wherever they feel it would be most appropriate."
Engraved with the words "to commemorate our community's resilience in the year of the pandemic 2020-2021", they are circled by the quote from Norfolk-born social theorist Harriet Martineau: "live your best and act your best and think your best today."
"We are very proud of it," continues Pippa, "and the feedback across the county has been absolutely fantastic. There are over 550 to be presented, so all my deputy lieutenants are having to work incredibly hard but it does get them into the communities and meeting with local councils, church councils, and schools. That is a real benefit for the Lieutenancy because it gives us a presence but it is also a benefit for the local communities."

While her role is to represent The Queen throughout the county, she feels it is much broader and enables her to support organisations from the magistrates through to charities, youth organisations and many more.
"I regard it as opportunity to support organisations at the grassroots level in Norfolk," she says. "I have a very full diary, I have to be quite disciplined to take time out, but I have 50 deputies and I am very keen that they get involved and particularly in areas that are of importance to them so that they can champion the causes that they feel are most important for Norfolk."
She inherited many deputies from her predecessor Sir Richard Jewson, but has since hand-picked 15 of her own.
Now 67, and appointed in 2019, she will continue in the role until she is 75.
So, what is her strategy?
"I hope I have set the tone in that I want to use deputies imaginatively and fully; I want them to be proactive amongst the county. Fifty deputies may sound a lot but it is a huge county and I want them all to be as active as they possibly can and as their other commitments allow.
"I feel very strongly about that if you take on the position of Lord-Lieutenant, or a vice like Peter, or a deputy, that it is a giving back."
She remains "very, very, surprised" at being selected for the role, but adds: "What a privilege and why would you not want to do it because it is such an extraordinary county and my roots go back a long way. Also, I do feel that we can make a difference. It is about meeting and encouraging and thanking people from all walks of life."
Even during lockdown, she enthusiastically continued that contact via Zoom calls, and sending out 2,000 cards to individuals and organisations who had done 'fantastic things for their community and the county.'
"It was just to thank them in the name of Her Majesty for everything they have done and they were very well received."

Grassroots activity
It is the grassroots activities that she enjoys the most; visiting communities such as the Feltwell Pantry, for example, where local women have set up a food bank resource.
"It was an absolute joy to see what these ladies were doing and how they were reaching out to nine very isolated villages. They were operating from the church, some of them were churchgoers some were not, but they were all acting for the best in the community."
The church community remains an important part of her life. She is a lay canon of Norwich Cathedral and with husband Richard - General The Lord Dannatt, the former Chief of the General Staff – is a supporter of their local parish church.
Another project she visited recently and was impressed with was the Holt Youth Project, serving young people from across North Norfolk, including some who may have been excluded from school or with particular needs.
Pippa remains acutely aware that beyond Norfolk's rural idyll are pockets of poverty and she is keen to raise awareness and support organisations that are helping address this.
"We do have problems but much more importantly we have wonderful charities and organisations that are working their socks off to help individuals and communities and we are very well served with the Norfolk Community Foundation."
Well-placed to sense the mood of the county through the diverse people and groups she interacts with, Pippa notes: "I think we are going to have a very harsh winter but what one has to hold onto is the extraordinary amount of good that is being done by individuals and groups within this quite amazing county of ours."
Mental health and wellbeing has long been an important cause. Pippa has been a counsellor for almost 30 years, having started when stationed in Germany, initially for Relate, and then in Wiltshire with GP practices.
"I realised I was hardly ever without a client who was not there as a result of some kind of childhood harm, so in the five years before I took on being Lord-Lieutenant, I worked exclusively for the Sue Lambert Trust in Norwich which is a charity that support adults and teenage survivors of childhood sexual abuse."
When appointed Lord-Lieutenant, she stated she was looking forward to "serving the people of the county of Norfolk in the best way that I can" and developing the work of the Lieutenancy, in particular encouraging volunteering, and "promoting mental health fitness especially amongst young people and those working in our farming communities." She also supports charities working in the area of dementia.
When serving as High Sheriff of Norfolk in 2014-15 - an appointment previously held by her father Jim Gurney and grandfather Quintin Gurney – Pippa took mental health as her theme.
"That was an interesting year, a very good basis to build on as Lord-Lieutenant," added Pippa, who is also a Norwich City fan.

Having spent much of her life as an army wife, she reflects: "That has actually probably been instrumental in forming much of the person I am today. People remember the grander bits, and we did have some wonderful postings towards the end, but it was very tough as a young Major's wife bringing up three little boys in Germany."
With frequent moves in Germany, across the UK, and Northern Ireland, she continues: "I have an enormous amount of respect and admiration for young soldiers' wives today, they have a very tough call indeed.
"Loneliness is rife, pay is poor, still not enough support of the young families, although that has greatly improved, so the military life was very formative. It was not all glamorous in the way that one might perhaps think."
Born in Keswick as Philippa Gurney, when she married, her father gave the young couple their current home, where he farmed the estate, and which is still run today by her husband.
"When I said I'd be marrying a soldier, he said to Richard that she will be a much better army wife if she knows she has a base, and how true that was."
For their sons Tom, Bertie and Oliver and daughter Richenda, Norfolk was always "home," and her 10 grandchildren - eight boys and two girls – are regular visitors, with the family remaining an extremely important part of her life, taking up any spare time she has.
Sent to the Tower
One of Pippa's happiest times in recent years was spent living at the Tower of London in Richard's capacity as Constable of the Tower (2009-16) after he left his role as Chief of the General Staff.
"I adored living there," she recalls, "it was a wonderful, cosy, tower community and like a little village with 125 residents including a doctor and vicar and the 37 Yeoman Warders – Beefeaters – who lived on site with their families."
A major project they oversaw was the centenary of the start of World War One in 2014 to fill the moat with 888,246 poppies, one for every British and colonial soldier who lost their lives in the Great War. When they were sold off, the ceramic poppies raised some £10m for service charities, with another £5m raised from other events for organisations such as Help for Heroes, SSAFA, Combat Stress.
Injured servicemen
This concern for the welfare of military families was particularly apparent during the conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq, as UK casualties mounted.
While her husband was Chief of the General Staff, she worked with SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association) to raise £5m to help provide accommodation in Birmingham and the Headley Court rehabilitation facility for families to be close to soldiers severely injured in conflict.
"It was deeply shocking that when our injured service personnel were brought back to the UK, there was nowhere for their families to go. It was unbelievable, there were families having to stay in bedsits at their own expense. I was so incensed about the situation," she says.
Having met families of badly injured service personnel, she felt "driven and passionate" about providing somewhere for them to stay, so two properties were converted for the purpose.
"It was an extraordinary sum to have raised in nine months, the most wonderful project to be involved in, and reflected the country's awareness of how badly injured soldiers and their families needed support," adds Pippa, who is Vice President of SSAFA and was awarded her MBE for the work on that project.
"SSAFA does so much for the military families, but I particularly enjoyed being a panel member and deputy chair of SSAFA's adoption panel."
SSAFA set up an adoption agency to enable military families to adopt and over the last decade has successfully place more than 100 children. She also supports Homestart because of "the enormous value it had to lonely military families," and is a former President of The Army Widows' Association.

Travel Fishing the No-Motor Zone
Fishing the No-Motor Zone
East-central Florida's no-motor zone provides peace, quiet and happiness on the fly
By Mark B. Hatter

Hey, Mike," I said, "pole over to your left about 30 yards; I want to get a few silhouette shots of you with that orange glow blooming on the horizon." Mike Dill and I had launched about 40 minutes earlier, Dill in his square-backed canoe, me in my kayak. In total darkness we paddled our way across smooth open water toward a large flat about a quarter-mile offshore on the eastern side of Florida's Banana River no-motor zone (NMZ).
There's not a lot to do in the dark, except perhaps collectively plot an attack strategy for the 40-inch-class redfish and black drum that you and your companion hope to find when the sun begins to rise. Or, in the case of a solo trip, counter the monotony of paddling by counting satellites racing across the predawn sky.
Since Dill was rowing backward using oars, he used my eyes, which were fixed on a set of lighted buildings adjacent to a Cape Canaveral launch gantry. Nearly an hour after launching, we arrived at the flat just as the sun was radiating a red-orange glow to the east. Perfect timing!
The public now have NMZ access at two locations: KARS Park, on the west side of the NMZ, and the 401 causeway, on the east side. To find KARS Park, take State Road 528 east, exit north on State Road 3 on Merritt Island andthen turn right on Hall Road. The park is open before daybreak, but you will have to sign in and pay the launch fee at the park's store before you leave for the day. To fish the east side, take State Road 528 across the Banana River and exit right on the 401 causeway. Park and launch at the traffic light adjacent to the cruise-terminal entrance. Mark B. Hatter
Fashionably Late
Dill stowed his oars, assembled his push pole and moved into position as I reached behind me for my camera. An uneasy feeling hit me as I blindly groped behind my small lunch cooler, where my case should have been. A second later, it was painfully clear that my gear was not there. A wave of panic set in, but I knew what I had to do: race back toward the cars with my fingers crossed, hoping I'd find my beloved floating camera case somewhere along the way.
I left Dill alone on the utterly smooth flat, praying I'd find the box within a few hundred yards but prepared to accept an hour-plus worth of work before I could catch up with him. My anxiety was compounded by the fact that I was going to miss fishing the best part of the morning!
So I paddled like a crazy man all the way back to the cars without finding the floating box. A few other anglers launched while I was plowing in the wrong direction, but they were out of earshot and I was sure my floating case would be along my path in the windless lagoon, provided I was on the right reverse vector.
Thankfully, I did find the case, which I had apparently left next to my pickup truck along the road. I was lucky it was still there, and after securing it to my kayak with bungee cords, as I should have done earlier, I paddled hard in the direction I had left Dill.
During the winter months, trophy reds like this are a real possibility for paddlers in the NMZ. Mark B. Hatter
Physically wasted, uncomfortably sweaty but extremely grateful that I still had a camera, I finally spotted Dill at the northern end of the flat. He was out of his canoe, which was a good sign. I dug my blade in hard and pulled against the drag of the water, wanting to close the gap between us as fast as possible. As I approached, it appeared he was fighting a substantial redfish.
I glided within earshot to see the water boil 20 yards from his rod tip and hear his drag complain against the pull. "Nice fish, Mike," I said, sliding my anchor overboard. "Not exactly how I planned my morning, but at least I made it back in time to shoot your toad redfish."
"You found your camera case?" he asked, incredulous.
"Yeah. Back at the car where I left it."
"Well," he said, attempting to downplay what I knew was a perfectly executed operation, "I found a school of the big girls just off the point about 30 minutes after you left. It took me a while to move into casting range without spooking them — they were floating, tails and backs out of the water — but I managed to get in close for a good cast."
Under dead-calm conditions, even the slightest pressure wave from a canoe or kayak will sink a floating school. Typically you can expect to get one, and only one, shot on those mornings when the air is still enough to hear a casual conversation between anglers from nearly a quarter-mile away. And when the hookup occurs — or doesn't — the school will be on to you before the second cast, bolting for the mid-lagoon channel markers after sensing your errant movements or the panic of their hooked mate.

Enter the Zone
The 10,500-acre Banana River no-motor zone has become arguably one of the richest and most balanced protected marine ecosystems in the United States. Even before its establishment in 1994, substantial keep-out zones, created by NASA for apparent security reasons, provided sanctuary for popular species, such as redfish, spotted seatrout and black drum. I say balanced because, unlike many other areas of the state, where you'll rarely find redfish longer than the 28-inch slot limit for keepers, the NMZ hosts redfish, black drum and trout of all sizes and lengths.
I fished the area prior to its becoming a canoe- and kayak-only sanctuary and marveled at the number of redfish prowling the shallows even back then. While the Mosquito Lagoon and the adjacent waters of the Indian River and Banana River, outside the NMZ, also hold large redfish and black drum, those fish invariably experience more pressure from powerboat-ensconced anglers than the ones living within the confines of the NMZ, where overall fishing pressure is negligible.
Even on bluebird days, when perhaps a dozen anglers might be encountered in the NMZ over the course of a day, the quiet nature of the vessels employed ensures the fishery remains exceptional. Besides, you do not need to be the first on the flat to score here.
While redfish may be the main draw to the NMZ, seatrout is another popular species to target. Mark B. Hatter
When it comes to fishing the NMZ, Dill is normally a sleep-in type of guy who waits for the morning people to work their way north from the designated launch area before he climbs out of bed (ironic, because when it comes to snook fishing, Dill is a nocturnal beast). On the other hand, I can't deal with not being the first guy on the flat and have been known to launch as early as 4:30 a.m., a characteristic flaw that has earned me a charming moniker from my fishing buddies that begins with ballistic and ends with — well, let's not talk about what it ends with.
Regardless of on which side of the Pepsi/Coke timing issue we stand, Dill and I both have caught our fair share of trophy fish. As a "sweeper," Dill prefers to come in after the crowds and targets those fish on the flats that tend to show later in the morning, particularly during the winter months, when the water warms as the day wears on. His canoe is best suited for fishing later anyway. Because he's able to stand in it and pole efficiently, it provides him a higher vantage point and therefore greater visibility.
On the other side of the coin, my kayak puts me low to the water, and I prefer dawn to see those fish that float at first light, even if they are not feeding. Both strategies have merit, and occasionally I do get Dill out of bed for the zombie patrol.
Getting out of the kayak or canoe makes it much easier to land big redfish and black drum. Mark B. Hatter
Pre-9/11
The NMZ encompasses roughly the entire northern end of the Banana River, from State Road 528 north to the NASA Causeway. Technically speaking, there is a small chunk of water north of State Road 528 and west of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) open to motorized vessels all the way up to Kennedy Athletic, Recreation and Social (KARS) Park. However, even the ICW is closed north of KARS Park.
Between 1994 and 9/11, the NMZ was open to all anglers, though NASA employees had "preferred status." On the western shore, KARS Park was open only to NASA employees or their designated guests, and the guard at the gate made sure of that. To fish the west side if you were a non-NASA employee, you had to launch from the barge canal parallel to State Road 528, which added at least an hour's worth of paddling.
NASA guys, however, could not only access KARS Park but also launch at designated areas along the NASA Causeway to the north, or at the port on the northeastern corner of the NMZ, where the ships that hauled in the solid rocket boosters were moored. Yeah, it wasn't fair.
On the eastern shore of the NMZ (prior to the building of the Port Canaveral cruise terminal), anglers could launch from the 401 causeway, parking at the fence near the entrance of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. They could then work their way north to the NASA Causeway along the eastern shoreline if they were so inclined. This was just fine for non-NASA folks, as there are plenty of good areas to fish from just north of the launch area.
Post-9/11
Everything changed on Sept. 11, 2011. As the nation shuddered at unfathomable terrorism, all U.S. government agencies tightened their respective security. NASA was no exception. For several years, the entire NMZ was shut down to all traffic, making for some very sad seasons for Dill, myself and many others who enjoyed the solitude and exceptional fishing of the sanctuary.
After several years, the security concerns slowly relaxed, and the western shore was opened once again, with NASA folks getting preferential treatment. Since I wasn't on the "preferred" list, I had to get creative. So I began strapping my kayak to my 16-foot skiff, launching at Kelly Park, just south of State Road 528 on the Banana River, and cruising (yes, in the dark) up to the southwestern boundary of the NMZ. Remember that a small slice of the NMZ remains open to motorboats up to KARS Park. From there I'd park the skiff just offshore, launch my kayak and paddle north to my favorite spots. It worked great, although it added some trepidation to the trip. At the end of the day, as I paddled back, I worried: Would my skiff still be there?
Sometime later I began to hear rumors that the expansive and often more productive eastern side of the NMZ was again open to fishing. I contacted the local park ranger to ask if this were true. He e-mailed me back, stating that while it was indeed reopened, unless I were a NASA employee, I could not launch from NASA property or even from the southern shore off the 401 causeway adjacent to the cruise terminal. No worries! I had the skiff system down to a science and was able to exploit the eastern shore for several months by parking my skiff at the junction of the southern NMZ boundary and the ICW, in the middle of the Banana River.
A half-season later, security reopened public launching from the 401 causeway adjacent to the Port Canaveral cruise terminal, negating my need to use my skiff. Generously, and at the same time, NASA finally opened up KARS Park to civilians for a modest $5 launch fee.
Sweet Seclusion
Eventually Dill landed his big redfish. It was a beast, measuring over 42 inches, but happily, it was not the only fish of the day. We didn't receive pressure from either the north or the south. Surprisingly, we had the entire eastern shore to ourselves (the two guys I saw while chasing my camera never ventured north of the first flat). While the morning matured, the sea breeze we'd expected did not, and we had virtually windless conditions all day long.
It was a long paddle, but we did find schools of large black drum and redfish finning and basking along the edge of a narrow flat to the north. The fishing was tough but rewarding; the calm conditions gave us but single shots.
By late afternoon, a sea breeze finally did kick in, and we'd had enough rod bending to call it a day. As we paddled back, Dill began strategizing: "What are you doing next Friday? If you're not working, how about we try the west side?"
"Yeah, I'm off — sounds like a plan," I replied.
Then he added, "Great, but how 'bout we not do the zombie patrol again. I wanna sleep in."
Coke or Pepsi, it makes no difference; they're both great, and so is the NMZ. No matter what time you launch or which side you ply, you are sure to find solitude and outstanding fishing in one of Florida's finest fisheries.
For both big redfish and black drum, I often use a lighter 7-weight rod (for its stealthy characteristics) rigged with a weight-forward floating line designed for cold water. For all-around use, a 9-weight rod is likely a more appropriate choice for most anglers, as it casts weighted flies much better and can handle bigger fish easier.
I fish both in and out of my kayak, depending on water depth and bottom hardness. Black drum are often a bit deeper and off bar edges that have hard sand bottoms. Since they are less wary than big redfish, it's fun to stalk them on foot. On the other hand, I almost never fish out of my kayak when hunting big reds; they're just too sensitive to the noises that come from wading.
Almost 90 percent of the time, my fly of choice is a black Clouser Deep Minnow. This fly works great for black drum and redfish. My second choice is a Merkin Crab tied in dark colors. While redfish have good eyesight and will move to the fly when they see it, black drum have poor vision and literally must be beaned to see and, hopefully, eat the fly.
The NMZ offers trophy fish all year long, but Dill and I prefer the winter months for two reasons. First, there are more black drum on the flats in the winter. Second, when the water is hot, the fish are active only for a short period during early morning, whereas during the winter months, fishing often improves as the shallows warm throughout the day.
