As a busy mother of two, Gina Homolka started Skinnytaste.com when she wanted to lose a few pounds. In the her wildly anticipated debut cookbook, The Skinnytaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor, Gina Homolka gives her fans exactly what they want: 150 easy, flavorful recipes that are miraculously low calorie and made from all-natural, easy-to-find ingredients. With 125 all-new dishes and 25 must-have favorites, it takes only one look to see why people go crazy for Gina's food.
Made this with boneless,skinless thighs. It was delicious. I added pots of fresh garlic to the marinade. I also use cornmeal instead of cornflakes. It's my secret for a nice golden crisp.
I made this recipe and thought it was delicious. I made few modifications to the coating, I used a full teaspoon of garlic powder and chili powder. Next time I would like to use fresh fresh garlic instead of powder, and I would like to try and rotate the drumsticks halfway through to avoid the moist and mushy bottoms.
We love chicken in my house and this is one of the most delicious recipes I have made over the years. Due to unforeseen circumstances, my chicken thighs marinated for three days. Unbelievably moist and succulent!
Wondering what you meant by spraying the tops of the chicken with the oil?
I'm from the South, and hard to impress when it comes to fried chicken, but hit the jackpot with this recipe. I marinated the chicken for about 24 hours, and it was absolutely succulent. Used fresh garlic in the marinade instead of powdered, and regular breadcrumbs instead of cornflakes (along with panko). It was delicious, and pleased a group of 3 adults and 6 kids. One can always go up or down with the spices if the taste of the crust doesn't suit you. This is a great base recipe and I will make it again and again.
Nasty! As another cook noted, the breading tastes like shake & bake. Next time, I'll just marinate chicken in a buttermilk brine & skip the panko mess. Plus there's little you can do to avoid a soggy bottom to the pieces of chicken. There is sadly NO way to replicate fried chicken without frying it.
I have made this multiple times and it's always a hit with my family. Remember to soak the chicken overnight - makes a big difference. It's also a great tip to line the baking sheet with tinfoil for easier clean up.
Made this for dinner the other night, following the recipe exactly and it was NOT good. The flavors were off, tasting more like Shake-and-Bake. No forks from us, if that would be possible.
I am fairly new at the whole cooking thing, so fried chicken seemed a little outside range of ability at this point. So, finding this recipe was great because it gave me a chance to make a healthy version of it, without the risk of losing as eye to hot oil. In execution, the recipe was super easy and fun. The chicken tasted great. I marinated the drumsticks for only 6 hours and the end result was super succulent and moist. I only made six and the cooking time was perfect. The only thing I would have done differently would be to use a higher ratio of panko bread crumbs to cornflakes. I don't know how that fits in with the health conscious cook, but just personal preference. These were a great way to fulfill a craving with out danger of injury or excessive calorie consumption.
I've tried lots of fried chicken recipes, and this is the best! I was given some buttermilk and was limited on my supplies (used rice crispies as I didn't have corn flakes) and out turned out great! I can see a lot of potential to create lots of different flavors ( I.e use tajin for lime twist or cinnamon and nutmeg, etc..). I could also see, those who have access to soft shell crab being able to use this and add some old bay seasoning!
great recipe easy but very tasty!!
I had buttermilk to use up, so I tried this recipe and wow! Used chicken breasts (skin-on/bone-in) and baked for 40 minutes. Yum. Might cut back on the salt next time. I added black pepper to the crumb. Otherwise, followed the recipe to a tee. Served with fresh corn and Buttermilk Potato Salad. Great summer dinner.
I use chicken thighs for this and it is fab! Great recipe the whole family loves.
This was very good. It was hard to believe it didn't have a lot of oil!! I did leave the skin on because we like it and I used a whole chicken with the breast cut in 1/2 lengthwise. I doubled the coating as instructed in the reviews and marinated it overnight. I will say we have great full fat buttermilk where I live in North Carolina. Baked at 400 on a rack and it was good. This is going in my permanent recipe file.
This dish is so full of flavor! I've made it twice now and absolutely love it. I wouldn't change a thing.
Mmmm! This is really, really good! not sure where one is supposed to find 3 1/2 oz. chicken drumsticks, so I used larger ones and ended up doubling the recipe amounts. There was a lot of crumb mixture left at the end, so I re-dipped the drummies in the buttermilk brine and re-coated with the crumbs. With the larger sized drummies, I had to bake for 1 hour 10 minutes to get to correct temperature. Only change I would make is to line the baking sheet with foil or parchment next time to make the clean up easier. Will make again for sure!
I made these today for my husband. I followed the recipe, & they were absolutely devine! They were so juicy & tender, that my husband ate 3 of them before I could wrap them up for tomorrow's lunch!
made this last night and turned out very well. I used drumsticks and doubled the recipe. Will make it again!
I loved this recipe. It was easy and tasty and loved by all. I used boneless/skinless chicken thighs instead of drumsticks and had to make extra of the topping, but the flavors were all good. It wouldn't let me click on the button, but I would definitely make it again and again.
Easy and delicious. Really good with an onion garlic dip.
Very nice one, thank u a lot!

New Ingles open on Spartanburg Highway
By Bill Moss, Published: April 20, 2017
Shoppers fill parking lot to sample new Publix
Awaiting floodplain permit, Publix edges closer to opening
GROCERY WAR: Ingles revives superstore plans
Retail renaissance under way on city's south side
Ingles to replace old store with big new one
Ingles Markets Inc. opened its Henderson County seventh supermarket on Thursday, establishing a beachhead at ground zero of the south gateway grocery war.
The new store, 26,000 square feet bigger than the 35-year-old store it replaces, is upgraded throughout, offering a deli counter and meat department, flower department, pharmacy, hot bar and other prepared foods and a Gas Express. It includes Starbucks, Chopsticks Asian Express, Boar's Head deli meats and Chef's Pizzeria. Hours are 6 a.m.-11 p.m.
The new Ingles competes with Harris-Teeter across Spartanburg Highway and Fresh Market across Greenville Highway and, in the next couple of years, Hendersonville's first Publix, on Greenville Highway at White Street.
The Black Mountain-based grocer strung pennants between light poles, displayed flats of colorful spring flowers at the front doors and offered goody bags during a grand opening. The parking lot was nearly full although a fair number of the people inside were Ingles executives and managers and suppliers.
Ingles replaced the 46,000-square-foot store, one its oldest ones in Henderson County, with the new 72,000-square-foot store that offers extra features beyond the conventional grocery items.
Ingles operates 201 supermarkets in the South, including 70 in North Carolina, 71 in Georgia, 36 in South Carolina, 21 in Tennessee, two in Virginia and one in Alabama. It operates stores on U.S. 64 East Flat Rock, Spartanburg Highway and Asheville Highway, and in Laurel Park, Mills River, Etowah and Fletcher.
"The company's strategy is to locate its supermarkets primarily in suburban areas, small towns and neighborhood shopping centers," the corporation said in its latest 10-K form filed with the SEC. "The Company remodels, expands and relocates stores in these communities and builds stores in new locations to retain and grow its customer base with an enhanced 'one stop' product offering while retaining a high level of customer service and convenience. Ingles supermarkets offer customers a wide variety of nationally advertised food products, including grocery, meat and dairy products, produce, frozen foods and other perishables, and non-food products. Non-food products include fuel centers, pharmacies, health and beauty care products and general merchandise. The Company also offers quality private label items.

Lytix Biopharma signs licensing agreement
August 24, 2020 /in External, immunotherapy, Lytix Biopharma, News, oncolytic peptide, skin cancer /by oslocancer
Our member Lytix Biopharma has entered into a milestone agreement with Verrica Pharmaceuticals to license the company's lead drug candidate against skin cancer.
The Norwegian start-up Lytix Biopharma from Tromsø has reached a new milestone. The company has licensed its lead drug candidate LTX-315 against skin cancer to the dermatology therapeutics company Verrica Pharmaceuticals. Verrica Pharmaceuticals will develop and commercialize LTX-315 for dermatologic oncology indications.
The drug is a first-in-class oncolytic peptide-based immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that mobilises the patient's own immune system to fight cancer. Peptides are short chains of between two and fifty amino acids that can have many different sources or functions. Peptides hold great potential for both cancer therapy and diagnostics, through the development of anticancer peptides, use of peptides for drug delivery, and cancer targeting.
Clinical studies have shown that the drug LTX-315 from Lytix Biopharma has the ability to kill human cancer cells and induce a specific anti-cancer immune response when injected locally into tumours.
"We are pleased to enter into this collaboration with Verrica, which has significant expertise within the field of dermatology" said Øystein Rekdal, CEO of Lytix Biopharma. "Our lead drug candidate, LTX-315, has shown very promising efficacy and safety signals in cancer patients during Phase I/II studies and we are excited that this partnership with Verrica will expand the applications for LTX-315"
The agreement entitles Lytix Biopharma to up-front payment, contingent regulatory milestones based on achievement of specified development goals, and sales milestones, with aggregate payments of more than $110M, as well as tiered royalty payments in the double-digit teens once Verrica successfully commercializes LTX-315 in dermatologic oncology indications.

Lytix Biopharma and Oslo Cancer Cluster
Lytix Biopharma has been a part of the innovation environment in Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park since the building opened in 2015, utilising both offices and laboratory for research and development.
Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator has offered the company its services in both private and shared laboratory spaces. In addition, Lytix Biopharma has been active in the animal laboratories at The Norwegian Radium Hospital (a part of Oslo University Hospital), which is located right next to the Incubator.
The researchers in Lytix Biopharma have gained their PhDs in the Incubator, in collaboration with its innovation environment. One of the company's former researchers is now the laboratory manager in the Incubator.
"This shows how the innovation environments enrich one another in a positive sense, by sharing access to different services and thanks to the power of our geographic location," said Bjørn Klem, general manager of Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator.
Lytix Biopharma recently moved out of the Incubator after finishing their main project earlier this year and remains a member of Oslo Cancer Cluster.
Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator is financed by SIVA, the Norwegian national infrastructure for innovation, consisting of incubators, business gardens, catapult centres, innovation enterprises, innovation centres and industrial real estate.
Hakan Köksal has researched new designs of cells to improve cancer treatment. He defended his PhD via a digital platform from Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator, due to corona restrictions.
Designing cells to fight cancer
June 8, 2020 /in immunotherapy, News, Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator, oslo university hospital, t cell therapy /by oslocancer
How can new designs of T cells improve cell therapy for cancer patients?
Hakan Köksal defended his PhD digitally from Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator.
This was the question Hakan Köksal attempted to answer in his PhD thesis, which he defended from the Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator via a digital platform on Thursday 28 May 2020.
Köksal first arrived at Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator to begin his PhD in October 2016 for the Department of Cellular Therapy, belonging to Oslo University Hospital. Three and a half years later, he is finally finished and has made a discovery that could potentially help cancer patients that are not responding to standard cell therapies.
"Essentially, what we are doing is called adoptive T cell therapy. We try to manufacture designs of chimeric antigen receptors to redirect T cells against cancer cells," Köksal explained.
Cell therapy is an exciting, new area in cancer research and is a type of immunotherapy. This means that the patient's immune system is changed in order to recognise and destroy the cancer cells in the body. CAR T cell therapy (CAR is short for chimeric antigen receptor) specifically involves collecting cells from the patient's blood and changing them in the laboratory.
"We collect T cells, or lymphocytes, from the patients and engineer them so they can detect cancerous cells. Afterwards, they can be reinfused in the patient to destroy the cancer cells." Hakan Köksal
Novel designs and new approaches
Current CAR T cell therapies have proved successful against several haematological cancers (blood cancers). However, the long-term clinical effects are quite limited and several barriers remain to cure all cancers with cell therapy. One problem Köksal looked at is when lymphoma patients treated with CD19 CAR T therapy relapse with CD19 negative lymphoma.
"We come up with alternative designs and approaches that may have an improved therapeutic effect, a lowered toxicity and improved survival in the body," Köksal said. "The study we conducted can potentially be used as a standalone therapy or it can be complementary to reduce relapse."
Standard CAR T therapies use antibody fragments as recognition units to detect cancer cells. In his thesis, Köksal has used a T cell receptor part, which is a different recognition domain, to increase the number of the targetable markers on cancer cells.
"Usually CAR T therapies can only detect proteins on the surface of the cell, but this new design can technically also recognise proteins inside the cell." Hakan Köksal
Köksal stresses that we cannot know the clinical efficacy of the study before testing it in humans. The furthest they have tested is in mice, which is still a completely different organism from humans.
Read more about the research in this article: "The first Norwegian CAR"
Presenting during corona
Köksal finished his thesis in August 2019 but has not had the opportunity to defend it until now. Due to the ongoing corona situation, he could not present the trial lecture and defence in a filled auditorium but had to make do with an empty room and a laptop.
"It's completely different. Normally, I would be standing on a stage and looking the audience in the eyes to see if I do well or bad. Now, I couldn't see the audience, because they couldn't share their video screens. I could only see my opponents," Köksal explained.
In March, the corona pandemic affected the researchers in the Incubator too, because there were difficulties getting the necessary deliveries as companies worldwide had limited personnel. The laboratory had to restrict the number of people coming in and meeting rooms were temporarily converted to offices to avoid shared office space. The Incubator never closed completely and stayed open with extra sanitation procedures in place, so that the important research could go on.
Dr. Pierre Dillard and Hakan Köksal are part of the team behind the new study on CD37CAR T-cell therapy for treatment of B-cell lymphoma.
A collaborative effort
Köksal emphasised that the research behind his PhD thesis has been a team effort. He is thankful to his supervisors at Oslo University Hospital, Else Marit Inderberg, Sebastien Wälchli and June Helene Myklebust, for helping him and giving important guidance during his projects.
It has also meant a lot for him to be a part of the Oslo Cancer Cluster Incubator, Innovation Park and the Oslo Cancer Cluster ecosystem.
"It is good to be in such a translational building. You have one part that has an arm in the clinic and at the same time you have pre-clinical research going on side-by-side with the private companies. You have different niches and you can meet a lot of people with different backgrounds and interests. It gives you new perspectives," Köksal said.
Köksal thinks the Incubator is a calm, relaxing work environment and not super busy like many other research buildings, where there is a lot of competition going on. In the Incubator, the researchers are united by the common goal to accelerate cancer treatments.
"I feel happy when I see an announcement that a company has reached a new milestone, because it means someone is making an impact and a difference out there." Hakan Köksal
Köksal will now begin a postdoctoral position and continue his ongoing research projects. He aims to work on the development of cell therapies and hopes to make new breakthroughs on the treatment of solid cancers in the future.

Research talents learned about immunotherapy
February 26, 2020 /in immunotherapy, News, Oslo Cancer Cluster, School collaboration, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Ullern Upper Secondary School /by Elisabeth Kirkeng Andersen
This article was first published in Norwegian on our School Collaboration website.
A group of talented science students from Oslo and Akershus spent two days learning about immunotherapy from former cancer researchers, who are now teachers at Ullern Upper Secondary School and researchers at Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Collaboration partners: Oslo Cancer Cluster, Thermo Fisher Scientific Norway, Ullern Upper Secondary School, Norsk teknisk museum (The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology) and Oslo Vitensenters Talentsenter i realfag (Talent centre for the natural sciences)
In February, 25 students from 19 different schools in Oslo, which are a part of "Talentsenteret for realfag" (Talent Centre for the Natural Sciences), arrived together to Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park and Ullern Upper Secondary School.
The students were there to participate in a specially tailored two-day programme about medical research and the use of immunotherapy to treat cancer.
The days were spent partly in a classroom to learn about the theory of the immune system and partly in a laboratory to learn how to isolate a type of cells in the immune system called T cells. The method the students learned about is used in modern cell therapies against cancer, which are called CAR T therapies.
Gustav Vik from Kjellervolla School and Martin Dimov from Mailand School are enjoying the gatherings arranged by Talentsenteret for realfag: "This is very interesting because we are learning things that are not part of the ordinary school syllabus and we like to learn about current topics."
Kaja Flote from Hellerasten School is looking in the microscope to find T cells. She thinks it is exciting to learn more about the complexity of the immune system and how it can be changed to combat cancer. Photo: Bente Prestegård.
The next day, the students visited the production facilities of Thermo Fisher Scientific Norway, located in Lillestrøm. This is where the company makes Dynabeads (also known as "Ugelstadkulene" in Norwegian) to be used in five billion diagnostic tests every year and in CAR T therapies against cancer.
The Norwegian TV channel TV2 has produced this news segment about Emily Whitehead (link in Norwegian), the first child in the world who received CAR T therapy to treat her cancer, which was deemed incurable. The segment was recorded in 2019, when Emily and her family visited the Norwegian employees at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Oslo. Emily is today 13 years old and has been cancer-free for over eight years.
You can read more about the students' experience at Thermo Fisher Scientific in this article from 2017, when another group of students from Ullern Upper Secondary School visited the same production facilities.
The researcher Morten Luhr from Thermo Fisher Scientific tells the students about Dynabeads (also known as "Ugelstadkulene"), CAR T therapy, immunotherapy, and cancer. He has prepared T cell solutions that the students will look at in the microscope. Photo: Bente Prestegård.
The background to the collaboration
"Talentsenteret i realfag" (link in Norwegian) is a customised educational option for students who are especially strong academically. It is for those students who find that the standard school curriculum does not challenge them enough. Just like the school adapts the teaching for students who need extra help in subjects, they adapt the teaching for students who already know a lot and want to learn even more. This is a group of students with a high degree of motivation and a hunger for knowledge that is extraordinary.
The centre employs experts in different subjects to give the students the academic challenges they need. That is why this two-day programme in medicine and immunotherapy was held in February.
The programme was developed by employees from Thermo Fisher Scientific and two teachers from Ullern Upper Secondary School. Fet and Flydal Jenstad both have backgrounds as cancer researchers at the Institute for Cancer Research and the Institute of Cancer Genetics and Informatics respectively. Fet and Flydal Jenstad share the responsibility for the new researcher programme at Ullern Upper Secondary School. Read more about the researcher programme here (link in Norwegian).
Oslo Cancer Cluster and Ullern Upper Secondary School have a school collaboration project since 2009. The goal is to contribute to educating the researchers and entrepreneurs of the future.
Thermo Fisher Scientific is a global biotech company with strong Norwegian roots through the acquisition of the Norwegian biotech Dynal. Thermo Fisher Scientific is one of the members of Oslo Cancer Cluster and actively participates in the school collaboration between Oslo Cancer Cluster and Ullern Upper Secondary School.

News from our members
January 23, 2020 /in bergenbio, clinical trial, External, immunotherapy, News, PCI Biotech, Targovax /by oslocancer
There have been several exciting developments from our members over the last week. Here are three condensed news from the Norwegian biopharma sphere that we wish to highlight.
Promising combination treatment
Our member Targovax, a Norwegian immuno-oncology company, has announced some encouraging data from one of their clinical studies.
The study is directed towards patients with mesothelioma, a type of cancer that develops in the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs, for example the lining of the lungs or chest wall.
The patients are given a combination treatment consisting of Targovax's own oncolytic virus called "ONCOS-102" and the standard of care: chemotherapy.
The preliminary data show a numerical advantage in progression-free survival for the patients that have received ONCOS-102. There has also been a robust immune activation in the experimental group. It has also been shown that the combination treatment is well tolerated by the patients.
Targovax are now in ongoing discussions with a pharmaceutical company about a prospective partnership in order to launch a checkpoint inhibitor combination study.
View the entire press release from Targovax
US patent for Norwegian cancer technology
Our member PCI Biotech, a Norwegian biopharmaceutical company, has secured a US patent for one of their cancer treatment technologies.
The treatment is called "fimaVACC" and is based on a type of light technology invented here in Norway at the Norwegian Radium Hospital.
The technology helps to transport cancer medicine more effectively to the targeted cancer cells. In this case, the technology enhances the effect of other cancer vaccines.
The US patent is for the use of fimaVACC together with cytokines, a small protein that is involved in cell signalling that regulates the immune responses.
The combination treatment has shown to be effective when enhancing the immune responses in cancer patients to fight off cancer.
Per Walday, CEO of PCI Biotech, said: "There are many vaccines under development utilising cytokines to elicit immune responses. The US patent granted today is important for PCI Biotech's development strategy, as it supplements our ability to generate an internal future vaccine pipeline, in addition to bringing value for the fimaVACC technology in partnering efforts."

New results from clinical study
Our member BerGenBio, a Norwegian biopharmaceutical company, has given an update on one of their phase II clinical trials.
The phase II trial aims to determine the clinical efficacy of one of the drugs BerGenBio has developed, namely "bemcentinib".
Bemcentinib is an AXL inhibitor, a novel type of cancer therapeutic agent.
BerGenBio can now show that the first stage clinical efficacy endpoint has been met.
The clinical trial is evaluating a combination treatment, consisting of bemcentinib and the immunotherapy drug Keytruda.
The patients who have been treated in this trial all have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and have previously failed checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
Richard Godfrey, Chief Executive Officer of BerGenBio, said: "Reversing resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients who have relapsed on immunotherapy is a highly desirable alternative to the second-line chemotherapy standard-of-care. We are very excited with these early results in this challenging setting and look forward to expanding the study to confirm these findings and reporting comprehensive translational insight."

According to the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) definition of broadband, the average speed of all US internet connections is 4 megabits per second. Wow that is low, compared to other countries that you would never think have the fastest connection. South Korea is number one with 34.1 mbps, followed by Sweden with 22.2 mbps and Romania 20.3 mbps.
Barely any computers in the United States reach the standard the FCC set as a goal to reach 50 mbps connection speed by 2015.
This is disturbing to someone who thinks the connection speed is fine where it is and is really fast. Wrong, we could be number one with very fast connection speeds that could help advance communications, medical, and science fields. Since the United States is running on internet, if it is slow, then progress and advancement is slow as well. With slow connection speeds and low bandwidth, new and innovative networks cannot operate, thus leaving many jobs and opportunities unavailable.
Want to determine how fast your internet speed is? Check out this site here, click on the city that is nearest you and watch the speedometer go up as it clocks how fast you connection is. Sometimes it is fast, sometimes it is slow, but overall in America 4 mbps is molasses.
The solution is not yet defined, as there are so many different computers that might still be running on dial-up, it is uncertain how America will speed up its connection and join the race for the fastest, and by fastest I mean the leader of future technology.

Q: Print sql queries in jupyter notebook with django-extensions plugin Is it possible to show SQL queries like in this command: python manage.py shell_plus --print-sql but in Jupyter Notebook?
I tried this command python manage.py shell_plus --notebook --print-sql but it not worked.

A: It's probably a bug in Django Extensions that you don't see SQL queries. A few versions ago, someone asked here how to disable SQL printing in Jupyter.
As a workaround, you could use django_print_sql:
from django_print_sql import print_sql
with print_sql(count_only=False):
    User.objects.count()

You may even find that having control over which queries to print is preferable to printing all.
But I mostly just print the last query retroactively:
from django import db
db.connection.queries[-1]

If you want to pretty-print the query with sqlparse, it starts getting complicated enough for a utility function:
import sqlparse
sqlparse.format(
    db.connection.queries[-1]['sql'],
    reindent=True,
    keyword_case='upper'
)

Ann Coulter says Jews have to become Christians to get to heaven or something. All very Protestant sounding ("perfecting", "perfection" something something — one of those Protestant words like "depravity" and "election" that I'm not clear on, I guess). I'm not Jewish either, so I don't have a gut reaction.
So Coulter's sin seems to be, in part, that she dared to express her religious convictions in an "insensitive", ie public, manner, in front of a Jewish interviewer. Gee, I thought we conservatives were against p.c. euphemisms and hyper-sensitivity.
Expect to never hear the end of this.

I have fished a few tourneys this year, and I think I need help managing my time. I feel like I am spending too much time with this lure and that lure and too much time in this spot and that spot, fishing rocks, or whatever the situation may be. Like the last tourney I did, during practice, I found fish on the current edges around larger rocks, on the up current side. During the tourney, I spent almost the entire day fishing these areas, and a few others. The fish just werent there. I knew that 3 of my 8 rods had something that would produce, a tube, rattletrap, and a senko. I made these rods top priority most of the day. How do you decide when to switch lures, how often if none of them are working? How do you decide where to fish, if you cannot find the fish, and how often do you switch to a different area, such as grass to rocks, shallow to deep, how much time do you spend on an area if it's not producing, but you feel it should? I just feel like I am making big mistakes in my time managing that is costing me in the long run. Thanks for any advice!
Refer to Keeping a Log to help you make decisions.
I look at my log before I go, but It seems that the presentations and areas are never the same.
It's a never ending search, it's almost never the same as practice.
If conditions are near the same thats a start, you need to adjust. Sometimes you might change the rules maybe from trolling motor to drifting.
You might be fishing smallies in rivers and this time of year smallies make big moves so you make big moves.
It's called fishing and when you make the adjustments and do well it's great.
Mobey, time on the water and experience are two things that give us all a better bag. But reading between the lines of your last tournament tells me that its probably your practice that tatooed you.
Logging your practice isn't just where and how, but what time of day? sunny or cloudy? Windy or calm? Which way the wind is coming from and different patterns/bait, in a word RELATIONSHIPS. The more pieces of the puzzel you collect, the better picture you have!
I know its hard sometimes to ignore a good pattern and go looking for another, but you must. Winners go out on mulitple days with different weather for one reason, to match tournament conditions. Something as small as a wind direction change can matter. Theres books written on fronts, sun, clouds, structure, ect. and on tournament day you gotta be ready. Fish live in the water which is impacted by all this, and it in turn impacts them. The "where'd they go" is what perplexes most anglers and distinquishes the best from the rest!
Sounds like your on the verge and with a little more water time you'll know what to do with your tournament time.
Thanks! I dont think I was willing to switch patterns and places as often as I should to find the fish, but I think i'mm gonna do things a little different now.
When you build confidence in something during a practice period its very hard to pull anchor and move but it has to be done. Once you've established that the fish either are not there or are not biting, you HAVE to do something else. You can always come back and check your spots but finding something else is the most critical thing if you want to win a tournament.
If you found a bunch of fish in practice and you know they are still there, throw a reaction bait and make them bite. The reaction baits have a way of getting things going when the more subtle baits just aint cuttin' it. I'll give them a bunch of things to look at but if I go thru 7 or 8 different baits and get no bites, I'm out.
Sometimes you just have to let your instincts take over when things aren't going the way you had it all planned out. Plans crumble, patterns crumble, fish get lockjaw, whatever it may be, you have to adjust to be successful. Fish live by instinct. Try to think like a fish when things get tough.
Listen to your instincts, if you don't 9 times out of 10 you will be saying you should have after the T.
When you start making the good decisions it will be easy. Or as previously said instinct will take over. The fish are giving you clues and those guys that are always cashing checks are making right adjustments.
Go back to your notes and read about how your days went and look for clues on adjustment you should have made and write that into your reports.
My notes go back to 1983 and I still read all of them at least once a year laugh and cry about the tourneys I gave away and still write should have done this notes.
Did you get bit in the areas while prefishing?
Were you just fishing memories?
I will not stay if I am not getting bit. Time wise depends on my other areas that I located before the tournament(Prefish, Milk run).
Were you fishing dock talk?
Were you fishing actual experiences?
Number of hours on the water prefishing?
Like FiveBassLimit and a few others said confidence and instincts are huge. I heard Gerald Swindle say this on a video and I totally agree, he said "the first second you begin to doubt your techniqe or spot, move". If you dont feel like the next cast will be a fish, you are just wasting time in a spot.

A Noteworthy Binge: Parks and Recreation
We know what you've been searching for. A sitcom that's funny and ultimately optimistic; a show that doesn't build on traditional stereotypes; an intelligent commentary on the flaws of the modern political system; a comedy that focuses on the average lives of a few small-scale government employees.
"Parks and Recreation" is a show about friends, politics, love and how to balance it all. The show fights to stay lighthearted and uplifting while emphasizing the importance of growing, challenging and loving those around you.
As the show's lead character, Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) puts it, "Friends, waffles, work or maybe waffles, friends, work but all I know is work comes last."
"Parks and Recreation" easily connects to the audience because the show is filmed in a "mocumentary" style. Characters are followed by the camera and viewers see things the characters believe to be secret or private. The film style gives personalized interviews to the audience which allow the viewer to believe each of these characters is speaking directly to them about the "Parks and Recreation" experience.
The show features a variety of characters who are each different in every way.
Leslie Knope is the head of the Parks and Recreation Department in the small town of Pawnee, Indiana. She is loving, passionate and an idealistically strong woman. As the leading lady in a city government predominately filled with men, she is surrounded by her best friend Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones), and coworkers Donna Meagle (Retta) and April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza). Each of these women are well rounded and fit a wide range of emotion.
None of these female characters play the damsel in distress and are fiercely independent.
Along with creating memorable female characters, "Parks and Recreation" is diverse in their cast of characters. Donna is a black woman, who enjoys every part of life and isn't afraid to reach for it. Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) is an Indian man who believes designer is life and although unconventional in his ways, makes for a promising and hilarious young entrepreneur. Strong willed and loyal Ann Perkins is biracial, and the notoriously unhappy April Ludgate is hispanic.
The portrayals of women and minorities in this show gives viewers of many backgrounds fitting role models to look up to.
Another interesting facet in "Parks and Recreation" is the emphasis on the town all while the show is focused on the Parks and Recreation department and the town government. Audiences meet the unique citizens of Pawnee, Indiana and get to know their problems. When Knope isn't fighting for the youth population's ability to play outdoors, the town's frightening love for slushies and burgers or running her campaign, she is fighting for the everyday needs of Pawnee.
Like in life, each of the characters fight for their dreams and their ability to find love, friendship and success. April Ludgate, Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) and Tom Haverford, the department's resident young people, struggle with their dreams. Leslie Knope struggles to do what's best for her town when they fight her each step of the way and Ann Perkins struggles to find her identity outside of a relationship.
Their situations and stories are fascinating because they are honest and ring to true to reality.
Only the first six seasons of "Parks and Recreation" are available on Netflix, but the last season can be found on Hulu. If you enjoy "The Office" and "Arrested Development" you may enjoy "Parks and Recreation."
Starring: Amy Poehler, Audrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari, Retta, Nick Offerman, Adam Scott, Jim O'Heir, Rob Lowe and Rashida Jones.

Ten Terms Every Chippewa Should Know By Now

Traveling can be costly. There are some things you can do to save money and still enjoy your trip. While the Spendwise Moms use different ways to save money, we all try to cut costs.
One of us got a hotel credit card with 40,000 points as an introductory offer, and got a week of free hotel nights by finding a Doubletree hotel with very low points to stay there. She also went to Disney World and spent only $30 for food for the whole week for her family. They ate the free breakfast in the hotel and brought food with them for their other meals. Some of the food was purchased with coupons on sale.
Another one of us called the hotels for any special holiday rates. Then she kept an eye on the prices and ended up getting a few nights at Hampton and Hilton Garden Inn hotels for an average of only $35 per night with a few points she had saved up from earlier purchases. She plans plane flights when the prices are way down. She also brings the amount of money budgeted for food in cash. This helps her to be wise about purchases knowing that there is a limited amount for her to spend.
The third Spendwise Mom got a credit card that would give her two free round trip tickets. They cancelled the card before it had to be renewed. They stay with family or friends when driving and don't spend money on hotels, unless absolutely necessary.
Another way to save on travel costs is to limit eating out. Bring a crock pot or a griddle to make food in a hotel room. You can also use a microwave to cook food,if your hotel room has one. If you go out to eat, go out for lunch instead of dinner. It is less expensive in most cases and you can save your leftovers to eat for dinner. Many hotels have breakfast included. If so, make that your biggest meal of the day and be sure to eat a balanced meal. We usually only need two meals a day if we eat a bigger breakfast in the morning. Don't purchase food in theme parks, etc. since they are way overpriced. Many places will let you bring granola bars, fruit, trail mix, etc., inside the park. Make a budget for your trip and set a limit on how much you can spend on food and stay within that limit. It is easy to gain weight on vacations because of overeating. Save your stomach and your pocketbook by planning ahead and being wise.
Some places have "free days" for museums, art exhibits, etc. Check into offers in the area for free activities or times when the prices are reduced. Sometimes you can go for half price if you go after 4 in the afternoon, for example.
Air B&B is another place you can check into to save money on lodging. I have never tried this myself, but I know others who have.
There are things you can do to reduce your traveling costs if you want to. It is worth checking into if you have a little time.
What do you do to reduce travel costs?

I'm having a noob problem.
I tried all sorts of things. Mono/Stereo, etc.etc. but nothing seems to work! This always seems to be happening to me. What am I doing wrong?
Have mercy on this noob.....!
Is this the case purely for the xlr cable? If you are getting a stereo level from the jack inputs you may have a cable fault. Also have you tried both xlr inputs? If one is working and the other isnt then it should be traceable to a cable fault.
It may also be worth checking in Maestro to see what settings are applied to I/O routing.

Riding a Divvy down lake street earlier this summer, I passed the Reliable Plating Corporation, 1538 W. Lake.
I paused, straddling the bike, and took this photo. Why? I thought the scene beautiful, the compressed, san-serif letters, the quiet insistence of the word, the interplay of faded red brick and beige concrete, the machine age entryway, with those metal doors and round windows, like a robot's face.
Then there was the business itself. The metal plating industry just doesn't get into the paper much, so I phoned the company. Maybe I could come visit? Write a little story to go with my portrait of their business face.
I called a few times. People don't call back anymore.
Eventually I reached a person in authority. No, sorry. No interest. Couldn't get off the phone quick enough.
As the line went dead, I thought of saying: someday, your business will be gone, and you'll be gone, and I'll be gone. Only the story I would have written might remain. Don't you care about that?
Only that probably wouldn't have helped, and I didn't say it.
So no story. Only this, the shadow of a story never written.
And a phantom ache. I suppose it stung, a little, to be scorned by an obscure metal plating company. Like what I'm doing is dirty. I'm sure they had their reasons. All those metal--plating chemicals, where do they go when they're done with them? Down some sewer perhaps? I shouldn't speculate. Sour grapes.
But I will trot out the photo, and the concept of reliability, on this, the day after the last day of summer. I didn't want to write a post, frankly. But I squeezed one out, a dyspeptic, carping thing that I instantly knew was never going to see the light of day.
Being a professional means you know when your stuff isn't up to par. That's not a general indictment. Even noble Homer dozed. Sometimes I write a sentence, a column, and sit back and think: That doesn't work.
So we will try again, no inspiration needed—inspiration is for amateurs, I like to say, and though this blog isn't really a commercial affair, it is a commitment I made when I titled it. You expect me to be here, and here I am. Heneni, as Moses says to God. Reliable.
There, that works. And if it doesn't, it will have to do for today.
These are the best kind of EGD posts. Authentic.
And i am sure that i am not alone in saying that i sincerely appreciate your commitment as well as the effort it takes to do this everygoddamnday.
I pray it hasn't already become a burdensome task like cleaning the gutters. If so, you owe us nothing.
I do want to say that i enjoy reading damn near everything you've ever posyed here. I look forward to it so much that your post is the second thing i do each morning.
Thanks Paul. I was just a bit under the weather this weekend. Made me cranky. It was such nice weather, and I was sofa bound. But Edie made chicken soup, and that always helps.
Thanks for being reliable, Neil. It's good to look and find you there.
What a shame. I love looking at old buildings and often wish I knew their history. I also love old brown and grey stone homes and wonder who originally built and lived in them. Soon enough they will be demolished to make way for another glass and steel high rise and that also will be a shame.
Works for me. I think we all appreciate "Every goddamn day" and should probably say that more often. Thank you.
I like the photo a lot. It's symmetry is what attracts my eye. Then my eye picks the scene apart, finding what isn't symmetrical about it. The red hydrant on the lower right wall, the bell above it, and what looks like a light bulb on the upper left wall. Asymmetry is pleasing to the eye, although I can't for the life of me figure out why the letters in the sign run off to the right of the doorway. How hard would it have been for the sign guy to start a little to the left so that the word would be balanced over the door?
Maybe there used to be some company insignia or logo there? Otherwise, mystifying as you say.
Or maybe just an unreliable sign guy.
There does seem to be a scar to the left of the R, above the amber light, possibly an alarm indicator. I would be surprised if RELIABLE was the original tenant. I"d guess the building dates from late 40's, early 50's, like many small shops similar to it in Niles where i grew up. Many friends found work in these places during high school or summers while in college. On Harlem Avenue, Complete Screw Products always merited a snicker from us infantile teens. It was a simple brick and concrete structure like Reliable, but without the stylish entryway. Somebody spent a few hundred extra dollars for it and at least Neil noticed it for us, and for the person who created it. Thank You, Neil.
Honestly, if they had welcomed you, you might not have gotten as charming a post out of it as this one.
Glad you tried. I go past Reliable somewhat frequently and have also felt a tug of curiosity. Provided you're still game for a local plating subject, there's Nobert around the corner up Ashland. Like Reliable, and other plating places, their solid metallic signage catches the eye far better than their peers in similar industrial trades.
At the risk of turning this into a food blog, let me recommend riding a mile further west to go past Vita Foods. Their otherwise non-descript entrance is framed by what looks like a tile mosaic suggesting herring in a sea.
Tommy Henrich was a star on the championship New York Yankee teams of the late Thirties and the Forties. He was known as "Old Reliable"...which would be a good moniker for Mr. S. He shows up every day and you can count on a good read every day. What more could you ask from a wordsmith? Five years and counting. That's a lot of keystrokes, and a lot of balls hit out of the park. Most people I've met couldn't do it.
The company website states, right out of the box, that "Reliable Plating Corporation is a family-owned business with more than six decades of experience serving the industrial community. We have an investment in maintaining high ethical standards for meeting our business and environmental responsibilities. Reliable is housed in over 60,000 square feet containing process facilities, material handling areas, offices and environmental controls."
That's a facade that fairly screams out the words "Art Deco", which reached its peak in popularity before World War II. But the business probably dates to the early Fifties, at most. Did some other business exist there before they moved in? From the look of the bricks and stone work, that may have been the case, but the age of the facade is difficult to determine. A Thirties Deco building would have had more streamlining,and more horizontal and vertical metal lines. Either a short-lived outfit attached the the facade onto an older building, some time after the war, or else Reliable did it later on. Looks like there were other letters above the door, as well.
What makes the building look so authentically and Deco are the doors, of course, and the stone entrance way...but especially those translucent glass block windows. My guess is that they replaced the original glass windows in the Sixties, for security reasons. Many, if not most, West Side businesses that did not flee the area turned their facades into fortresses, out of both fear and necessity. We're talking Lake and Ashland here.The area may be gentrifying, but the decades preceding the comeback were anything but gentle.An old friend did repairs on the CHA properties in that neighborhood, back in the day.. His war stories will curl your hair...or straighten it.
Most of the company building burned to the ground in 2006 and they rebuilt in this location (not the original) just down the street.

Q: lubuntu 32bit vs 64bit This seems like a silly question but when I try to download the 64-bit lubuntu from the main website but I can only get the AMD version. When I tried to install, it did not get recognized by my machine. My machine has the following processor:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590S CPU @ 3.00GHz
I would think the amd64 version would not run on an Intel machine as they are different architectures. But as I am perusing through their downloads page here I find the AMD 64-bit version is the only 64-bit available. I successfully installed the i386 version. Anyways, don't want to go to the trouble of downloading and trying again since I've already progressed with the i386 version for some time now so hopefully asking here will save some grief and gain some knowledge. What am I missing?

A: Intel came out with IA64 (64-bit) which was not compatible with 32-bit x86, but intel claimed it fixed a lot of x86 legacy issues, was faster & more secure.  It didn't do very well in the market.
AMD however created the AMD64 or x86_64 which due to x86 compatibility (it could run legacy 32-bit x86 code) it did sell well and is still in use today, by both intel (who pay for the privilege to use it now) and of course AMD.
IA64 is dead, and intel themselves use AMD64 (you don't want intel's IA64 unless you're using the Intels now dead Itanium family of cpus). Windows dropped support for IA64 back when windows 2000 reached EOL, the linux kernel however only dropped support earlier this year announcing the 5.4 kernel won't support it (intel themselves finally dropped it from the product list only this year).
As for your difficulties running x86_64 (or amd64), I would

*validate your write to install media using the "Check disc for defects" (where disc refers to your install media, be it CD/DVD/thumb-drive or whatever media you write the ISO to) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck
The second media check is I think the most valuable, as it detects most errors that step 1 will detect as well (the 1st test helps ensure the 2nd is working).
