Bonefish and Permit
CHICO FERNÁNDEZ
The beauty of the flats in the Florida Keys is breathtaking.
There are more huge bonefish in shallow water in South Florida and the Upper Florida Keys than any other place on the planet. And, if that's not enough, in the last ten years or so, the bonefish have been getting bigger and bigger. Where a big bonefish in the sixties and seventies in South Florida was usually around 12 pounds, today many bonefish are taken, on a fly rod, in the 13-, 14-, 15-pound range and bigger.
The best you can get—a bonefish tailing over a sand bottom.
As a matter of fact, in the summer of 2005, Captain Dale Perez guided Chuck Sheeley of Columbus, Ohio, to an enormous bonefish while fishing in the Upper Keys right out of Islamorada. The monster measured 36½ inches to the fork of the tail, which would put it around 38 inches overall. Since bonefish of 12 to 14 pounds typically measure 31 to 32 inches, you can only imagine how big this bonefish was. Mr. Sheeley decided to turn him back, so we'll never know, but most estimates of the weight of this fish are well over 17 pounds. Fortunately, he's still out there somewhere.
These trophy bonefish aren't easy. You will find that good casting skills and often a brown trout presentation are of the essence with a fly rod or any casting tackle, but they will take the right fly retrieved in a convincing manner. And when they do, you'll experience power from a fish shorter than 3 feet, as you never have before.… Interested?
You can have a very good day of bonefishing, or take a big double-figure bonefish, any day of the year in South Florida. But water temperature often dictates, more than any other factor, whether you'll see schools of bonefish or single large bones or whether you'll see them at all.
Tim Mahattey releases a gray ghost of the flats off Islamorada.
Going away tailing—a common sight but a hard cast.
During warmer temperatures, you'll see tailing bonefish spread out over the flats, feeding in singles or pods of three or more fish. But when it gets real cold, they tend to leave the flats until it gets warm again. Even if you do see some fish cruising the flats during strong cold spells, they'll be moving slowly and not too anxious to feed.
So the time of year that you select to come to South Florida will dictate your chances of catching a bonefish, a real big bonefish, and whether or not the fish will be tailing. It will also dictate, within reason, your chances of having good weather.
In December, January, and February, the typical winter weather patterns will show repeated cold fronts with winds mostly from the north. In between these cold fronts, there are usually patches of warmer weather and calmer winds, generally from the east or southeast. It's right after these cold fronts, during the warming cycle, that fishing can be quite good, with bonefish becoming more active in the flats. And because they have been too cold to feed for a few days, they are more willing to take a fly. Pat Ford, for example, caught his largest bonefish, a 15-pounder, on bait on December 5 several years ago and then followed it up two weeks later with a 14-pounder on fly—both with Captain Rick Murphy in Biscayne Bay.
But in the Miami area and the adjacent outer Keys, sometimes one can see big schools of bonefish when the temperature is low, say in the 60s. Captain Chris Dean tells me that these schools can be very large, but the fish are in deeper water and moving slowly, and it may take a few good presentations to finally get one to strike.
Captain Tim Hoover holds up Neal Rogers's 15-pound bonefish. They don't get much bigger than this anywhere. LINDA ROGERS
Still, you must remember that as good an opportunity as the warm spells in the winter months can be, timing your trip between cold fronts is not always easy. It can be done if you can move fast when a friend or guide tells you it's warming, but it is always a gamble.
Captain Rick Murphy with my largest bonefish on fly—close to 14 pounds.
By March and April, the cold fronts appear less frequently, and you are not taking nearly as big a chance on the weather by booking a guide at this time of year. But it will be windy—very windy. March and especially April are the windiest months. However, it's worth it, because these are the months that produce the largest bonefish of the year, probably due to their spawning cycle. An added bonus at this time of year is that, with the relatively cooler water still in the flats, these big fish can produce spectacular long runs, especially when hooked on an oceanside flat.
By May, June, and even the first few days of July, the weather is warm enough for the bonefish's taste, but not too warm. There should be plenty of them feeding in the flats and often tailing. And because it's still not too hot, they should be on the flats all day long. Now you would think that with this great bonefishing going on there would be lots of anglers fishing for them at this time of year, but the fact is that there are only a few. You see, this is also the peak of tarpon season, and most fly fishers have big silver on their minds. So if you want bonefish in the spring, you'll find the shallow flats with little pressure, and the bonefish more than willing to take a well-presented shrimp or crab pattern.
The side of a bonefish is basically a mirror reflection of the bottom—look for the dark back to spot them.
As we get deeper into the summer, the middle of July, August, and September, we are now fishing in the hottest time of the year. With air and water temperatures reaching the low 90s, it will probably be too hot in the flats for most bonefish during the middle of the day. This is the time to fish very early and late in the day. For the middle of the day, I recommend a big lunch and a long siesta. Indeed, many guides even offer a split fishing day in which they will take you out at dawn or nearly so, bring you back for that siesta we talked about, and then take you out again after four or five o'clock. This way you take advantage of the lower water temperatures, which will still be in the high 80s at best. And while a split trip may be more expensive sometimes, it's worth it, believe me.
An evening on the flats of Florida Bay is prime time for taking bonefish.
In summer, dawn on Biscayne Bay provides outstanding fishing for bonefish and permit.
Then by late September, October, and November, the water temperatures start to go down to a more civilized level, which is enough to make a difference to Mr. Bonefish. Now you'll see good bonefishing throughout the whole day, and there will still be plenty of tailers. This time of the year is also an excellent time to find the bigger bonefish in the flats up until the second or third strong cold front pushes through.
Eric Herstedt releases a fat permit off Elliott Key near Miami.
Besides all the big bonefish, South Florida has some of the largest permit you can ever find in the flats. So if you are interested, and you should be, make sure you carry a heavier rod rigged with a crab fly. When the tides get too deep for bonefish, the permit will start to show up.
Often the first thing you spot is the black dorsal and tail of a permit.
Again, its possible to find permit in the flats year-round in South Florida and the Keys, but permit like even warmer temperatures than bonefish, so the time of year is very important. Winter months are usually not very good unless there is a serious warm spell. I would not book a trip in December, January, or February if your main target is permit.
In the Keys, March and April are usually very good months for fishing for permit. And by then, the cold fronts are less frequent and weaker, so water temperatures are up. March has been a traditionally great month for permit in Key West and Miami.
Also, the warmer months from July until the first cold front arrives in November will produce lots of permit in the flats on a strong incoming tide. You could find a big permit, say over 30 pounds, any time during these warm months anywhere from Miami to Key West.
Now for some fishing advice: The single most common complaint of a flats fishing guide is the casting ability of the angler. This has not changed since I started fly fishing back in the fifties. So please make it a point to practice, and if possible, take some casting lessons from a qualified instructor. You'll be glad you did, and so will your guide.
Captain Bill Curtis's hands have released more Florida bonefish than any others on the planet, but the sun takes a toll.
When casting to a bonefish or permit, remember that they are mostly feeding against the tide, so try casting just outside their area of awareness, which is usually a few feet in front of a moving fish, and a bit closer for a tailing fish. And be even more aggressive (meaning cast closer) when fishing permit. You need to practice shooting a fly 50 feet with no more than two backcasts. Speed is often just as important as accuracy.
Booking a guide. Select your guide from the recommendation of a fellow fly fisher who has fished the guide or from a tackle shop you trust. If you have more than a couple of days to fish, say four days or more, I would suggest that you split your fishing days between two different guides, just in case. You could end up with a guide that does not want to work (pole for you), or it may be that you two just don't have good chemistry. But by fishing two guides, you have a better chance of finding, for future trips, someone you enjoy spending the day with. And if it turns out you like both guides, great, you have two names to call, and you probably will learn lots of different fishing techniques from each of them. Trust me, this works.
Sometimes there is no substitute for the real thing, but we try anyway.
RT Trosset poles while Steve Ward makes a cast on the gulfside flats north of Key West.
I'd say that the best time to book a guide for the Upper Florida Keys or South Florida is right now. The best guides are often booked a year ahead of time, especially if you are thinking of the spring season. Many people book the same guide for the same days every year—if you're new to the scene, you need to find those few extra days he can squeeze you in. If you want to fish April through June, you'd better call in

Bowing Out
Winston Churchill once referred to Clement Attlee as "A sheep in sheep's clothing." As I grow weary, old, fast approaching 45, more and more sheep seem to cross my path – mostly in the world of banking but in other areas too.
We all have small dreams. Mine from the age of 23 – sat in a New York hotel room listening to the blaring taxis down below – was to write a novel. A work about 'the street'; society if you will. Despite my best efforts – five of them in fact – I ultimately failed.
And so began the drift – into table tennis reports after a 'knock' with friends. Into radio plays, children's story poems, interviews with who I deemed to be the more interesting colleagues or pariahs at my place of work and short stories. Anything and everything: a lovely excuse to write and feel good, worthy even.
I recall approaching The Bolton News's Neil Bonnar on 1st April 2013. I padded the email proposal with talk of New Journalism which unofficially began in 1962: Tom Wolfe picking up a copy of Esquire and reading a piece on Joe Louis, written by Gay Talese.
The article was mesmerising, intimate – a form of literary or 'short story' journalism. It was a turning point indeed, but such art was to be hounded out of fashion by 1981; fashion – that villainous word.
A few notable voices still held the torch aloft – the irreverent and mighty, Hugh McIlvanney on this side of the Atlantic for one; his prose allowing you to swim across the ably-depicted sporting scenes as if you were God. When you read McIlvanney's work, you are forced to stop, gasp, relay the word combinations over and over in your head such is their allure.
My comparatively feeble samples – nine of them written between 2007 and 2008 – were included in the email to Bonnar in an attempt to 'firm up' negotiations and show him my wares, my 'Del Boy' goods. I had a habit of getting home after matches, taking a shower and then staying up 'til about midnight dissecting what had unfolded.
I invented boyish nicknames for my friends, my opponents: Bazooka, Hustler, Alamo, Raider, The Destroyer, The Reverend; simple alliteration usually behind the grand title as if I imagined us walking out to lights and music.
Bonnar phoned me up one evening not too long after. The deal was cut. I was to follow in the footsteps of fine predecessors, Alan Calvert and Ian Wheeldon.
"Just try to be less flamboyant," he advised me, referring to the work I had sent in (www.thesportswriter1.com).
I understood this. I didn't entirely rail against it. Papers have codes to follow. Crossing the line into the semi-fantastical was unnecessary – it risked reputational damage.
Now, after writing a total of sixty-seven pieces for the paper – quite an apt number – I feel it is time to step down. The joy in sitting alongside players from the Premier Division through to Division Four has been a true privilege. Letting me into their modest venues has been kind and not always trumpeted in the manner it should have been.
New projects await me including the better nurturing of my family. I hope there is someone to pass the baton to in this rich, sporting garden.
Thanks for tolerating me!

It's about 2am and I awoke crying, I had a dream about you again. I guess subconciously I knew the anniversary of your death was close. You were not my boy, but you were the same age as my boy and were even in his kindergarden class. I'm not really sure why I think of you often but I do. You and your family have been in my thoughts everyday and I cry when I think of your parents because I can't even imagine the pain they feel without their little boy, but I know it has to be heartbreaking because when I think about my boy I can't imagine my life without him. I am wearing the bracelet that I made for the classes with the school colors and your name on it. Again, I'm not sure why but it makes me feel better. I know your safe now in Gods arms and that is comforting. I hope your parents are able to find comfort in that also. All my love to you Ryan and your family. God Bless the Wesling Family.

To become an affiliate, please download the affiliation form at the link above and send it along with your donation to the address indicated on the form. If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Roots, our temple administrator. Thank you for joining!
Affiliation Categories
Single: This category is open to any Jewish Person who resides alone (no partner or minor children).
Family: This category is open to any family unit that includes a Jewish Person. A "family" is defined to mean one or more adults, and includes their dependent children.
Student: This category is open to any Jewish Person who is a full-time student.
Under 30s: This category is open to any Jewish Person under the age of 30 years, or to any family unit that includes a Jewish Person where both adults are under the age of 30 years
Associate: This membership category is open to a person who is a dues-paying member of another synagogue and who resides in Bozeman for three months or less in each year.
Affiliate: This category is open to any non-Jewish person who has been accepted into the conversion process, or who is seriously exploring the possibility of joining the Jewish people, in the discretion of the rabbi.
Friend: This category is open to those not affiliated with Beth Shalom who provide assistance to the temple. As a "friend", that individual will receive information about the Congregation's activities and invitations to participate in various activities.
Note: "Jewish Person" is defined below.
Who is a "Jewish Person"?
Congregation Beth Shalom follows the Reform and Reconstructionist position on who is Jewish. In antiquity, a child of an interfaith couple followed the religion of the tribe with which the family resided, usually that of the father. This was changed in Roman times so that the child followed the religious identity of the mother in conformance with Roman law. This was again updated in the mid 20th century in the Reform and Reconstructionist Jewish worlds, reasoning that we are no longer living in Roman times, and, in an egalitarian world, it no longer made sense to exclusively follow the religious identity of the mother when many families with Jewish fathers wished to raise their children as Jews. Thus, we recognize as Jewish any person born to either a Jewish father or mother, AND who has a Jewish identity. This view is more inclusive than the older view because one Jewish parent is all that is required, but more restrictive in that it requires that a child be raised with a Jewish identity to qualify as Jewish, thus returning the criteria to Torah times. Of course, we also recognize Jews by Choice, who have joined our people through the conversion process.
Non-Jews who are part of a family that includes a Jew are absolutely and completely welcome and treated as full members of our congregation and community. Through most of Jewish history, there have been non-Jews who have resided among the Jewish people and have been fully accepted as members of the community, called a ger toshav. We continue to recognize that status and even offer a ceremony to those wishing to formally adopt the status of ger toshav, while maintaining their non-Jewish identity. If you have questions about any of this, please contact us.

Click Yes on the Confirmation prompt and OK on the Merge Complete window.
Those using QuickBooks Accountant version and QuickBooks Enterprise v18 (all versions) will find an entirely new way to Merge Multiple Vendors. Despite the fact that we have had the ability to merge one vendor into another vendor, this new tool represents a better way to search, sort and compare vendors that need to be merged together.
Select the Master Vendor you want to retain in QuickBooks, and then select up to three other vendors you want to merge into your Master Vendor.
QuickBooks forces you to make a backup of your Company file prior to the actual merger taking place.
QuickBooks proceeds with migrating any of the identification details you selected from the other vendors into the Master Vendor.
Next, it merges all of the transactions from the other vendors into the Master Vendor.
At the conclusion of the process, QuickBooks displays a message confirming "Merge Complete," which reminds you of the location of the backup file made prior to merging the vendors.
This new feature is designed to provide accountants and ProAdvisors with more options and better control over the merge process for duplicate vendors, We can also see additional uses for this functionality.

Where to Give Locally in Greenwich Village and SoHo
By Danielle Tcholakian |&nbspDecember 23, 2015 8:48am
@danielleiat
God's Love We Deliver brings healthful meals to people who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves. Here, one of their chefs surveys the food he made.
DNAinfo/Danielle Tcholakian
NOHO — If you're moved by the holiday spirit to donate or volunteer your time, there are places and people in need right in Greenwich Village and SoHo.
Here are some local organizations that would welcome your neighborly generosity.
GOD'S LOVE WE DELIVER
166 Sixth Ave., SoHo
God's Love We Deliver brings meals to people who are too sick to grocery shop or cook for themselves. It began as an HIV/AIDS organization, but now serves clients with many different types of illness.
The organization expects to cook and deliver 4,500 "Winter Feast" meals on Dec. 24, but it needs volunteers with cars to help deliver the meals that morning. Deliveries start at 9:30 a.m. and end by noon, organizers said, so there's still plenty of time for last-minute Christmas shopping afterward.
Volunteers can sign up online, and select the pickup location that is best for them. If you can't volunteer on Thursday, but are interested in doing so next year, God's Love has information on year-round opportunities online. And if you don't have a car, but still want to do something nice for the holidays, you can "sponsor" a meal for $10 (or multiple meals, if you want to throw in a little more).
555 Broome St., Hudson Square
Just a few blocks away from God's Love We Deliver is The Door, a drop-in center for runaway and homeless youth. The Door welcomes donations of clothing year-round. The Door is particularly in need of men's clothes (pants and shirts) at the moment, but also could use women's clothing and shoes. The group also accepts donations of new toiletry items (deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste).
Clothing and other donations can be dropped off at The Door from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m.
CUCS WOMEN'S SHELTER
350 Lafayette St., NoHo
The last women's shelter in NoHo — one of the city's most highly praised facilities — is itself in the process of looking for a new home, since their building was bought by developer Aby Rosen. (Rosen plans to redevelop the site for large-scale retail.)
But they're still operating on Lafayette Street for now, and will eagerly accept any donations of women's clothing. They are most in need of shirts, pants, winter jackets and sweaters, but can use "really any kind of clothing," their program director said. They provide the women with toiletries, but in the past the women they serve have really enjoyed when companies donated new makeup and nail polish.
ST. JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH
81 Christopher St., West Village
The Lutheran church on Christopher Street is famous for its acceptance of people from all walks of life. They hold "Rest Stop" hours during the week, where they keep the church open for anyone who wants to come and just sit, but they need volunteers to "host."
New Alternatives also hosts a drop-in center there on Tuesdays, which includes lunch that requires volunteer help. Anyone interested in these opportunities should contact Pastor Mark at pastor@stjohnsnyc.org. St. John's is also seeking computer help from anyone who is tech savvy. If that piques your interest, email Vicar Joe at vicar@stjohnsnyc.org.

The past five issues have revolved around the Venom Project, a protoplasmic black liquid and the attempt of Peter's father and his research partner Eddie Brock, Sr. to cure cancer.
Peter found out about it when he rekindled his childhood friendship with Eddie, Jr., who is working on an existing sample. Eddie told Peter that their fathers' employers tried to take the suit away from them when it was discovered that the liquid had military applications.
Determined not to let the suit fall into the hands of the milliary- industrial complex, Peter stole a sample for himself to finish his father's work. But the liquid made contact with his skin and encased him in a black costume. At first, Peter was overjoyed at the increase of his Spider-Powers. It all went awry, however, when the suit nearly drove him to kill a burglar.
A draining battle with the suit for control left Peter drained, yet determined to destroy his father's work. He tried to sneak into the lab again, but was caught by Eddie. Peter tried to explain everything- including his costumed career as Spider-Man-to Eddie, who was feeling angry and betrayed. Eddie reluctantly let Peter take the sample of the black liquid. Peter goes off to destroy it, while Eddie unlocks the other sample of the liquid he kept hidden from Peter. Seeking revenge, he dipped his fingers into his "inheritance."
The next day, Peter found the combination of the suit and Eddie waiting for him outside his school. Peter walked out into the pouring rain to confront this monstrous amalgam of his father's dream and his own walking nightmare.
Story 'Father's Pride'
Summary: Spidey vs Venom
The issue opens with a videotape of Peter's father, Richard, speaking. It turns out Peter isn't the only one caught up in his father's legacy, after all. Richard's path was set in motion by his own father's death due to cancer.
Richard admits that even before his employers got involved, that he and Brock, Sr. had failed. His narration is juxtaposed with the hulking mass of flesh, teeth and tendrils that was once Eddie Brock standing across from Peter in the pouring rain. The battle begins with Venom's tendrils launching at Peter. Peter defends himself while appealing to the Eddie Brock inside to fight the influence of the suit. The vicious struggle outside is momentarily broken by a panel of Peter's Geometry teacher insisting that, while his opinion is biased, that there's nothing more exciting than basic geometry.
Peter resolves to take the fight off school grounds, to protect innocents and also to protect his identity. Peter, still holding back to keep from hurting his friend underneath the suit, keeps trying to encourage Eddie to fight the suit. He wonders how a normal person like Eddie can fight the suit when Peter barely escaped its grasp. After a hard shot from the creature, Peter decides to take the fight right back to it...by leading it away from the school.
While Venom pursues him on the rooftops of New York, Peter wonders how much of Venom's hatred is Eddie and how much of it is the suit. Venom finally catches us, and the two go toe-to-toe. It manages to force Peter off the rooftop. A power cable breaks during the fall and the two are zapped before landing on the roof of a moving car. The car crashes into a building, momentarily disabling the creature.
Cursing himself for putting innocents in danger, the hooded Peter moves in to check on Eddie, whose face is exposed. Just when all looks well, the suit takes control again, replacing Eddie's young face with that horrific mess of teeth and the trademark ten foot tongue.
The creature catches Peter by surprise and engulfs him in itself. While struggling to break free, it torments Peter. Peter is about to be wholly swallowed when the old Parker resolve comes through and Peter breaks free. Peter manages to beat it back with a tire when the cops arrive on the scene.
The creature turns around, and the horrified cops pump it full of bullets as Peter leaps onto a wall for safety. The creature backs towards the exposed power cable. When Venom and the cable make contact, his death scene is narrated by Richard Parker, with advice to his son that you'll never understand why some people are the way they are. As Venom is reduced to a smoldering pile of the black goo, Richard advises Peter further: "Don't let other people blame you for what they do to themselves." Peter escapes from police gunfire.
"I find myself surrounded by people who will do or say anything just for the appearance that they are better than they are." Richard's video imparts to Peter. But the video ends on a bright note, as Richard admits he has no idea how the world works and that it's not all bad since he gets to come home to his son and see him grow up. Peter is curled up, head in his arms and on his knees, listening to his father say: "...I get to watch you become the man I know you will grow up to be... and I can't wait to see how you turned out."
This issue makes it official: the Ultimate Venom storyline is my favorite arc of this book so far. This collision of Peter's past, present, and future in the wake of science gone wrong (a popular theme in this book thus far). The advice is, of course, timely, in the wake of Peter's confrontation with this unique enemy. Richard's speech, while downtrodden with the negative events of his life, is equally balanced with fatherly advice and an undercurrent of hope, especially in the end. The reader isn't beat down with the moral, nor is his intelligence insulted. Richard implies but never says that Brock, Sr., is the man he's talking about. And it's never outright said that Richard Parker is the good man in the face of all this corruption.
I'm pleased with what ends up as Venom. Although this mass of flesh lacks the imposing comic-book-villain look of his classic, core-titles counterpart, he's a fitting end product of all the building up of Eddie Brock. I'm happy that there's no sad-sack origin story, maybe detailing years of abuse from his grandfather (Carl Brock) and how he's had to fight for everything he has in his life. That door is left open by the qualification from Richard that you can look at a man for 50 years and not understand him. Also, these questions of character are eerily timely to real world events.
The battle plus the fatherly narration makes for a conclusion that is neither a typical slugfest nor a talking-heads story. That, and the always-solid art of Mark Bagley, add up to a lot of webs. How many? Indulge me for a paragraph and I'll tell you.
Although they're not specific to this issue, I have a few notes I feel I have to make about this arc. The supporting characters, while rather sparing in their appearances, lived up to their monikers. They SUPPORTED Peter and Eddie, the two main figures in this drama of fathers and sons. Gwen was the litmus test for Eddie's soul, and with her disapproval came Eddie's fall from grace. The interaction with Mary in the last issue reminded us that Peter's personal life is just as broken up as his superhero life. Though, it is nice to know they still feel strongly towards one another. And, while I didn't get as much Aunt May as I wanted, her introductory role opened the window for this whole sequence of events.
What really made this issue for me was the wisdom of Peter's father, a glimpse of the kind of man Peter will become. It wasn't the best fight sequence I've ever read, but it's confused and tragic conclusion marks the end to a phenomenal arc. Alas, perfection is hard to achieve, but when you're working with Venom, as in "We'll suck the marrow from your tiniest bones." Venom, 4.5 is amazingly high.

Officials sound off on safe room snafu
By Gary Budzak - gbudzak@aimmediamidwest.com
Sean Miller, director of Emergency Management for Delaware County, speaks during a press conference at the agency's Delaware office on Monday. Miller addressed concerns over a tornado shelter that failed to open over the weekend.
Gary Budzak | Gazette
The tornado shelter at Delaware State Park on a rainy Monday morning.
A tornado shelter designed to unlock during a weather emergency failed to work as sirens blared on June 15, leaving campers waiting for assistance at Delaware State Park.
However, when a second tornado warning sounded that night, the doors were already unlocked at a 75-foot-wide by 28-foot-high steel-reinforced domed shelter designed to hold more than 850 people and withstand winds of more than 200 miles per hour.
"We are aware of the reports regarding access to the Delaware State Park safe room, and we are working with Ohio Dept.of Natural Resources to rectify the issue. Provisions are in place for access should any other warnings be issued," the Delaware County Office of Homeland Security Management posted on Facebook at 1:08 a.m. Sunday.
On Sunday, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources issued the following statement: "Delaware County Emergency Management and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources consider the safety and well being of our guests our top priority. Effective immediately, temporary measures are in place to ensure the shelter at Delaware State Park is accessible. Our agencies are working together to determine exactly why the designated shelter failed to open in a timely manner Saturday evening. Our staff responded as quickly as possible to resolve the delay, and we are working to make certain it doesn't happen again. We apologize to any guests who were unable to seek immediate shelter."
The $1 million structure, which was built last year, is an intergovernmental project with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Delaware County Board of Commissioners and Ohio Emergency Management Agency. It is owned by ODNR. The tornado shelter was officially unveiled in May at Delaware State Park's campgrounds. It had worked properly a couple weeks ago, when two successive tornado warnings had been issued for Delaware County.
"We did have a warning, and 94 people were directed to use the safe house previously," said Delaware County Commissioner Barb Lewis. "When I found out this happened, I wanted to know how and why. We've got to get this fixed. The most important thing was the shelter was open and kept open after the first warning. We just can't let this sort of thing happen again."
In a press conference Monday, ODNR District Manager Steve Harvey said a park supervisor was contacted around 10 p.m. about the shelter remaining locked, and he used a key to unlock the doors within 20 minutes. Harvey said 20-30 people had been waiting initially (although social media posts suggested there were at least twice that many), and a couple people were finally let in. The sirens are located at the park's south marina and the nearby campground registration office. There are 210 campsites at the park, and Harvey said it was 90 percent full on Father's Day weekend. A camper host, who would have had a set of keys for the shelter, was not on site at the time of the incident, Harvey said.
ODNR and EMA are working on contingency plans to have access to extra keys, possibly in a lock box, as well as a coded keypad installed on the door, Harvey said. However, he did not want too many people to have keys, because it would increase the chances of vandalism. He said the shelter has already been vandalized once.
"The way that the system is supposed to work is that when the sirens are sounded, that same radio frequency signal will trip the doors to automatically unlock them," said Delaware County EMA Director Sean Miller. "Hose door mechanisms did not unlock automatically with sirens. There's no other action needed by a human with that door if it's working."
Miller said if there is a power outage, there is a grid generator onsite that is designed to unlock the shelter's doors by default. In addition, the sirens are tested monthly, and there have not been any issues to date.
"This is something that we are taking very seriously," Miller said. "I go to that park along with my family, so this means a great deal to me. We are investigating not only what went wrong, but future methods for access to the safe room. We're going to have a solid game plan going forward for access around the clock. We will get to the bottom of it."
The vendor involved with building the shelter was inspecting it on Monday, along with park staff, Miller said.
In the meantime, heavy rains have closed the park's marina ramp and beach, with warning signs and roads blocked.
"One of the main points we like to make during flood season is 'Turn Around, Don't Drown.' You could get trapped in your car. It doesn't take a whole lot of water to float your car," Miller said.
"We received an update from the vendor," ODNR Spokeswoman Maureen Kocot said in an email sent late Monday afternoon. "As of approximately 3:45 p.m., the issues with the Tornado Shelter Alarm and door locks were resolved. We are anticipating a formal, detailed response of what the issues were and what caused them by end of day tomorrow (June 18)."

has depression ever fucked up your schooling or career?
i've never been a very high achiever, but i really tried hard when i got into uni. my grades were actually better than a lot of people's for my first semester. then i just caught this deep depression out of nowhere and i went spiraling down until i couldn't get out of bed. i feel better now that it's summer, but my gpa for my first year is now terrible and it would take crazy amounts of work to recover to where i want to be.
everyone has those times ya know? there have for sure been points where i thought that one mistake was gonna affect me for the rest of my life. the key i've found to being happier is realizing that as long as you continue carrying on, there is more right with you than wrong with you and things tend to work out. its all about perspective.

Q: REST API built for mobile apps I am not sure how to address the question properly, but I know I am confused here. I do not meant you to code nor give scripts for me, all I am asking is guidance.
I have setup an API (framework built in PHP) to serve resources for apps, mainly iOS & Android. I have also read implementations about Amazon REST API, Facebook oAuth, Twitter xAuth, etc. My concern is regarding authentication (encryption probably) from the view point of the app.
So initially, the user will download the app then install it. The very first thing the user will see in the app is a login page: username & password. User fills it up then submits. That's where my problem is. I am concerned of how the app will pass the username and password to the API. Of course, the credentials must be encrypted so I can decrypt it on the server, but I am confused of the specific process.
I am not a mobile developer so maybe that is the reason why I know nothing of the process. Please enlighten me.
EDIT:
The username and password on the login is not the credentials to be use to access the API but rather the credentials for his account so the API knows if the user is a valid one then return details for its profile.

A: It depends on your need of safety of course, a bank handling money transfers will go to much further extends to provide safety , but in general the following should at least give your API safety from anyone who isn't going to put hundreds of hours into it or is a pro hacker;
First of all you can communicate through https which requires pretty much no effort from you.
Secondly you can hash the password with a hash and salt (random bunch of chars before and/or after it, include the salt before hashing) which only you and your API know.
You do not de-crypt it - There is no reason for you to know someone's password, even as admin.
Actually you can't even decrypt it if you use some of the standard things like MD5 or SHA1.
You can simply compare the hashed+salted value to know if someone is allowed to logg in.
I guess you can do the same with the username, but not necessary.
Again: This is no full proof anti-hacker and safety method, but it will provide for most API's needs of safety.

A: Aside from rolling your own authentication, you might want to leverage on other login providers like Facebook and Twitter. This would require you to set up app configurations in those providers, to redirect back to your app. https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/78587/facebook-and-twitter-authentication-from-mobile-applications
I also found this page on basic guidelines on authentication in REST - http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/01/rest-api-authentication-schemes

A: A lot of applications use HTTP authentication for API use - HTTP basic is just what it says, very basic and not very secure.  Better is to use http-auth which safely makes use of the username and password to secure communications.
Basically you just need to configure whatever server you have to use http-auth for API calls, and make sure it knows about your accounts.
On the iOS side use a library like AFNetworking to handle communications with the server, you can pass the library a username/password to use for authenticating calls.
I would also recommend storing the username/password in the application keychain so the user does not have to type it in every time.

A: As others say, you can hash the password using a hashing algorithm, like MD5. Note this is NOT encryption, it's hashing. There is no need for you to send the plaintext password to the server (or to store it, you store the hash).

The biggest problem for a side project that was meant to be a one-off thing is that when you decide to follow up your first release, there is the inevitable sense of letdown. Hanson Brothers' first release, Gross Misconduct, was meant to be a fun little tribute to the Ramones and hockey, yet the side project for Nomeansno became a minor institution and couldn't be put to rest so easily. Four years after the initial album, the Hanson Brothers returned with another album full of odes to hockey, girls and beer brewing called Sudden Death..
With Gross Misconduct being one of my all time favorite punk records, Sudden Death had a lot to live up to and for quite some time I never was willing to let myself enjoy the CD. Although the concept of singing about hockey over a Ramones' styled formula is still quite intact, there was just something missing in the outcome. However, given a few years since I last listened to this CD, it seems that Sudden Death didn't deserve such a quick epitaph after all. Fact of the matter is that Sudden Death simply won't be as good as the debut, but it's still quite good for Ramones type of punk. Between catchy, anthemic tunes like "Danielle (She Don't Care About Hockey)" or "The Hockey Song" and the riproaring, bouncy tunes like "Rink Rat" or "Four Heads, One Brain", there's more than a few fun songs to give the CD its due respect. Singer Johnny Hanson does happen to sound a bit more like his brother Robbie (best known for losing the hockey mask and singing for Nomeansno) with a little more bass in his voice than before. Blame that on age. Besides, eventually we all want to sound like Rob Wright anyhow..
Nothing will replace my fond spot for Gross Misconduct, but I'm pleased that I gave Sudden Death a second chance. For a band that started as a lark, they've certainly become a very identifiable group that is more fun than a box of Viagra at the nursing home. "Mary Lou" will certainly be pleased to hear that..
