New Doctor Strange Photo: Let’s get Mystical

The new shot reveals Benedict Cumberbatch in full sorcerer’s garb as Doctor Strange in the second instalment of Marvel’s Third Phase.

Doctor Strange has been in production for a while now, but it’s become something of a lightening rod since filming moved to New York. When we got word a few days ago that Benedict Cumberbatch had wandered into a comic book store in full Doctor Strange garb, we knew things were going to get interesting. And so they have, because amongst all the set photos now we have a new official look at the sorcerer supreme himself. Take a look, courtesy of Slashfilm: Continue reading New Doctor Strange Photo: Let’s get Mystical

“Doctor Strange” will be “Marvel’s Fantasia”

As entertaining as Marvel’s Ant-Man was (check out our review to see just how entertaining), it has managed to saturate the Marvel marketing machine recently to the point of irritability. Now that Ant-Man has proved itself on the big screen, the stage has been opened up and the rest of Phase 3 is rushing on for attention. It just so happens Doctor Strange was fastest this time, and with that we have some news on the visual experimentation of the good Doctor’s first film.

Simon Pegg Slams Idris Elba “Star Trek” Rumours…Or Does He?

As delicious as a movie rumour is in it’s prime, there is something even sweeter about that same rumour being shot down by someone in the know. Whispers were abounding last week (here included, I’m not ashamed to say – actually I am shamed but I’ll still say it) that Luther and The Wire star Idris Elba might be donning a ridged skull cap and taking a villainous turn in Star Trek 3 as the most handsome klingon in the quadrant. So what happened? Was the klingon part all nonsense. Nope, it was all nonsense, according to the nerd-do-well himself Mr Simon Pegg.

According to Slashfilm, Pegg, who starred in both previous Star Trek films and has continued with the third installment as both actor and co-writer (not a new experience for the Cornetto wieldin’ Brit) has spoken out about the alleged involvement of Elba. Here’s the key nugget from his interview on Absolute Radio:

“That’s not true. No, no, no. I heard there’s a rumour he’s been spoken to about stuff, so he may be in the film but he won’t be a Klingon. [Laughs.] Or maybe he will!”

Well that started as helpful but sort of trailed off at the the end there. It’s clear that Pegg is more interested in keeping everything about the new film a secret than quashing rumour after rumour until people can stitch the plot together themselves.

It’s also worth mentioning that we went through a similar situation with Benedict Cumberbatch and Khan with Star Trek into Darkness. Granted that came about after we knew Cumberbatch was attached. Could this be another run-around? My guess is no. Those kinds of rumour traps are very much JJ Abrams’ thing, but he’s not helming this project. And even if he were, he wouldn’t use the same trick twice in a row.

I’m sure if Elba is confirmed a week from now I will be sitting here once again with a Romulan-sized egg on my face (Romulans lay eggs right?), but that’s the game we play, baby. I’m willing to trust Pegg this time. Are you?

It’s a Birdman, it’s a painter, it’s the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards Nominations!

We have another list of nominations for you today, and it’s a doozy! It’s the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, and there are a lot of films picked for nominations that we’ll be hearing a lot about. Even so, the LFCC has selected a diverse range of British, American and foreign films for their latest batch of awards. Last year there were a lot of surprise winners, including foreign smash Amour for Film of the Year, Ang Lee for Director of the Year, and The Master snatching up awards for Best Actor (Joquain Phoenix) and Best Supporting actor (Phillip Seymour Hoffman). So with the LFCC we get an often more independent take on the award-magnet features of 2014. For the moment we just have the nominations, so it’s anyone’s guess right now. Take a look, care of Deadline:

Mr Turner and Birdman are definitely coming out on top in this list with 7 and 6 categories respectively, but it’s not a bad day to be Under The Skin either. For an indie sci-fi on the r-rated side, the film starring Scarlett Johansson has done pretty well out of this awards season. Julianne Moore hasn’t done too badly either, getting a Best Actress nomination for two different films in the same category (Maps To The Stars and Still Alice). It’s gonna be a treat as always to see what the LFCC chooses as the winners, so we’ll keep you updated as the news comes in.

Who’s your pick for Film of the Year?

Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominees Named

I know, I know, if you see another nominations list this month you’re going to shove your Golden Globe replica into the face of the person next to you. But this one will be different, I promise.

Ok, so it’s really not different to all the others. Birdman is there, The Imitation Game is there and Boyhood is there. But there are a few little additions that we’ may well start seeing a lot more of. You know how I am about lists inside paragraphs by now, so here’s the list care of the Screen Actors Guild Awards site. Read at your own peril:

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role
Steve Carell – Foxcatcher
Benedict Cumberbatch – The Imitation Game
Jake Gyllenhaal – Nightcrawler
Michael Keaton – Birdman
Eddie Redmayne – The Theory of Everything

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role

SAG Awards® Honours for Stunt Ensembles
Get On Up
The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies
X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Without giving too much away I was surprised to see St Vincent up there, but not as surprised to Naomi Watts‘s name. Into The Woods is definitely making a lot more appearances than people thought considering it’s a soft musical sort. It’s good to see Fury and The Judge poking their heads above water, and hopefully we’ll see a lot more of them.

Any films you think were missed out?

Benedict Cumberbatch in “The Imitation Game”: Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Not a bad set of lists there. A few surprises to see on the Best list like Lucy and Goodbye to language, not to mention a good portion of documentaries like Citizenfour and Jodorowsky’s Dune. as for the Worst, no real surprises there, but a very good way of picking a few scabs (I really had forgotten how much I disliked Blended). Between the Best Movies and the Best Performances there are a lot of dependable Oscar hopefuls stretching over a few categories. Good to see Essie Davis get some credit for her role in The Babadook and Tilda Swinton for Only Lovers Left AliveI’ve been lucky enough to see most of the films on the list, and I would strongly recommend on them. Not the Worst list so much, although if you’re looking for a masochistic giggle this Christmas, see how long you can watch Transcendence without shouting at the screen.

What’s your favourite movie on this list? Any of your favourites not make the grade?

Housing stock at record lows in some areas

Terrace with sinking house

Housing stock is at record lows in some parts of the UK with a third of estate agents reporting a fall in the volume of new instructions, latest figures from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors reveal.

Noel Meredith, executive director and head of United Trust Bank’s development finance division, said: “The UK suffers from a chronic shortage of new housing and the only proper remedy is to keep building and increase the availability of good quality, reasonably priced homes for first time buyers, couples and families.”

The RICS report would suggest that uncertainty over the long term implications of Brexit may have caused many existing homeowners to put moving plans on hold for the time being, perhaps until it becomes clearer what life outside of the EU really looks like.

Meredith added: “At a time when there are some concerns about the potential for UK house prices to fall, the lack of supply may underpin prices in the short term. However, this does nothing to help the longer term problem of a growing population and a new building program potentially falling well short of target.

“In our experience demand for new homes remains healthy. Although the initial reaction to the EU referendum result may have been a pause to draw breath and see how the dust settled, the vast majority of people are now getting on with their lives, realising that much of what we do each day will carry on regardless of whether we are part of the EU or not, and that includes moving home. We believe there are still excellent opportunities for SME developers to feed in more of the required supply of new homes.”

Some SME developers, many of which rely on third party funding, may be concerned that all banks will be less inclined to lend in the current environment, withdrawing from the sector as many of the High Street banks did at the start of the credit crunch.

Meredith said: “However, whilst some lenders may be less active, experienced specialist lenders, like United Trust Bank, recognise that the demand for good quality, reasonably priced housing is going to endure for several years, if not decades, to come, and that SME developers have an important role to play in meeting that demand. As such, as long as developers can demonstrate a thorough understanding of their market, have done their sums properly and can prove the quality of their previous work, UTB will be very keen to discuss providing the funding for their next residential new build and conversion projects.”

Interception : a novel

Interception : a novel

Babiak, Todd (1998) Interception : a novel. Masters thesis, Concordia University.

Text (application/pdf)

This is a novel about relationships, especially familial relationships, and is primarily concerned with issues of love and violence. The story revolves around Jeremy Leduc, the narrator, and his father, Glen Leduc, the Fire Chief in the fictional town of Seymour, Alberta. Jeremy is a 25 year-old university dropout and self defence instructor who returns to Seymour after the failure of both his martial arts school and his relationship with Ellie Donnelly, the lawyer he lived with for four years in Boston. In Seymour, he confronts his past and attempts to set up a framework for the future. Issues of self-protection--including the fighting theory of interception--haunt Jeremy as he strives to discover how to interpret his world and how to achieve some sense of goodness within it. Outside of the Leduc family story and the flashbacks of Boston, the larger community of Seymour is explored. The house across the street and the events that occurred there, as well as the young people Jeremy encounters and re-encounters in the small Western Canadian town in the midst of Rodeo Days are of prime importance to the story. The novel is divided into seven parts and the present-tense action takes place over seven days.

Electorally Collegiate

We’re not a democracy. That seems to come as a surprise to some Americans. Democracy is rule—or tyranny—by majority. The axiom is that it’s two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for lunch.

What our founders designed was a constitutional republic. Democratic voting happens in parts of it—to choose our representatives, and directly choose many local leaders. But the federal government is limited, on purpose, so that coercive force, like fire, does the good it’s intended to do but does not go further and burn us free individuals to the ground.

Federal: relating to a type of organization that is made by joining together separate organizations or states
State: a politically unified people occupying a definite territory; a nation
When the thirteen original colonies declared independence from England, they were a loosely joined group of separate states (i.e., nations), a confederation. The document joining them, the Articles of Confederation, was weak and imperfect. That’s why, a few years later, representatives from these separate but confederated states worked out a new Constitution, “in order to form a more perfect union.”

They did not give up being their own sovereign statehoods, but they united with the other states in a stronger union. It’s important to remember that it was states joining together, and not merely a few million unaffiliated individuals suddenly becoming a new single nation. The nature of America is that it is the United States (nations) of America.

One of the major debates in the Constitutional Congress related to insistence, mainly from the large states, that representation should be by population number and, on the other hand, the insistence, mainly from the smaller states, that representation should be by state. What was the incentive for a small state, like Delaware, to join the union if it was simply to be ruled by whatever bigger states, like Virginia, enacted?

The brilliant compromise of the Constitution was to divide the representative branch, the legislature, into two houses: one representing population number—the House--and one representing each state equally—the Senate. Until the 16th Amendment, the two senators from each state were chosen by the state legislatures, rather than by direct election as they are today. The idea was that the House represented the interests of the people from their home district, and the Senate represented the state’s (nations) interests. Even with the change in how senators are elected, they are still supposed to represent their state’s interests while working together on federal issues.

Over time, with inadequate history and civics being taught, too many people think of the states as just provinces.

Province: any one of the large parts that some countries are divided into
America didn’t divide itself into provinces that it called states; states united together to form America. We’re all Americans, but we’re also members of our respective states. You might forget that in some states, but you don’t forget it here in Texas.

Now that we’re clear on what United States are, we can talk with a better understanding about the election—and specifically the Electoral College.
The 2016 Electoral College Map,
image found here

Direct election is what some (many) voters think they’re doing in a presidential election. But they’re not. They’re actually voting for a slate of electors from their state who have promised to vote for a particular candidate. It seems complicated, but its purpose is to preserve both the voice of the people and the voice of each state.

If the popular vote directly elected the president, the campaign would look very different. It would concentrate on areas with the highest populations—big cities mainly, like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Dallas. Add in Florida and DC area. Ignore the rest of the nation, because you can’t garner enough votes in any particular place to sway the election. Flyover country gets flown over.

So, the system allots electors per state based on population (1 per representative in the US House of Representatives) and state (2 senators per state). Each state decides how its electors will be chosen, but most give all the state’s electors to the vote winner in the state.
Without Electoral College illustration
by Ramirez for The Daily Signal

If the vote is decisive in the state, it’s possible not all the votes will be counted. Don’t cry foul. All the cast ballots on election day are counted. All early voting ballots are counted. It used to be that absentee ballots were only counted if the number could sway the election, but since ballot by mail has become more prevalent, those are usually included in the voting day tally. (That’s what showed up in my county’s tally within 24 hours of the polls closing.)

However, there are provisional ballots—paper ballots cast by people who are not showing up as registered but whose registration was turned in on time; those votes will be handled individually, and if they are valid, they will be counted eventually.  Sometimes these have to do with providing proof of residency or some other detail that didn’t happen in time to show up in the books, but the voter has five days in which to provide documentation. But most provisional ballots end up being people who went to the wrong polling place, because they moved and didn’t go to the place where they are still registered, or because they just showed up at the wrong place and don’t have time to go elsewhere. These votes are not valid and will not be counted.

Anyway, the final tally on these votes may not show up in the original tallies, or even official tallies within 24 hours. If they will not change the outcome, there’s a good chance no one will change the count later. In other words, the popular vote count, because it doesn’t matter, isn’t always the count of all valid (and only valid) votes.

There’s also voter fraud to think of. In the last election, the difference was an average of about 10 votes per precinct. I was a poll watcher at a heavily democrat precinct that ended up with 20 extra votes on the machine that weren’t included on the voter list—the handwritten list of each voter that signs the book, used to verify the count. If one party decided to add votes from non-voters at a rate of 10-20 per voting place, they could turn a national election. If there was a corrupt party not being watched in some state, they could purposely add hundreds or thousands of fraudulent votes. As it is, at least they can only affect no higher than the state level.

So the Electoral College is a protection against tyranny of the majority, against tyranny of urban over rural or suburban areas, against large states over small, against populous regions over sparsely populated regions, and against tyranny by voter fraud.

Rarely has the Electoral College chosen a different president than the popular vote. When it has done so, that means the election was close. And in a close election, we ought to be glad the decision was made with the input of all states and all regions, instead of just the most populous cities.

There’s been a fair amount of conversation about the Electoral College the past couple of weeks. It’s a good time to get more educated on the subject.

I suggest this PragerU video:

Then there are these additional brief video explanations:

·         Mark Kaye, "Why the Electoral College Sux!"
·         Larry Arnn interview, and opinion piece he wrote in the Wall Street Journal November 14, “The Electoral College Is Anything but Outdated

And if you’d like to learn a little more in depth, I recommend a book I read about a decade ago that has been updated in 2012: Enlightened Democracy: the Case for the Electoral College, by Tara Ross, the presenter on the PragerU video.

It keeps happening that, when we look at what our founders thought through, they did a remarkable job of working out how to get just the right amount of government, with limits to safeguard our liberties. They deserve something much better than an ageist assumption that they’re outdated. Chances are they thought it through and came up with a brilliant idea.

Truth and Perception

What is truth? Is it real? Or is it relative—whatever each different person perceives it to be?

I’m a believer that there is a truth; it exists outside of ourselves. Our perceptions of it may be different, but if we are seekers of truth, we question our perceptions, and look for what is real.
sketch of a Grecian Urn,
by John Keats, who wrote the poem
"Ode on a Grecian Urn," which makes
the claim "Beauty is truth, truth beauty"
image from Wikipedia

There is a contingent of modern thinkers who claim that truth is relative. You can have your truth; I can have mine. We must accept that what may be true for you, might not be true for your neighbor.

This sounds open-minded and tolerant. But there are problems that come up when you can’t agree on “what is is.” How do we live together with irreconcilable differences on certain things?

For example, if I believe I own a piece of property, and you come along and decide you own that same piece of property, who gets to enjoy the benefits of property ownership? In the non-philosophical world, where we have laws to settle just such disagreements, it would be the person with the deed to the property. The deed is a proof, or evidence of a truth: right of ownership.

Suppose you believe that marriage is a certain thing—a permanent contract between a man and a woman, obligating them to one another, forming a permanent family in which to bring up their offspring, and to financially and socially sustain one another. Suppose someone else believes marriage is any two people announcing they are in a sexual relationship for the time being. Those are not the same things. It is possible for two people to define a word differently, but the thing they define can’t be the two incompatible different things at the same time.

Can the two people hold these different views at the same time and go their separate ways? That was what the Supreme Court ruling in 2015 claimed they could do. But they have not been allowed to. Believers in the permanent-contract-between-a-man-and-a-woman have been told they must accept the any-two-people-in-a-current-relationship as equivalent, even when theirs is a deeply held religious belief. And thus we have bakers, florists, and photographers being coerced to use their artistic skills for purposes that, to them, deny truth.

Suppose you believe that male and female are the only two sexes for human beings, and that your DNA and physiology define which one you are. This has been the truth for all of the millennia of human history. But there are others in our time who believe that there is a plethora of sexes for human beings, and that a person is whatever the individual decides to be, regardless of physiology.

Can the two different people hold these different views at the same time and let the other live their own way? In a tolerant world that could happen. But there is a huge amount of pressure right now to enforce a belief that doesn’t coincide with reality, science, truth as we have historically known it, or as nearly all of us can perceive it to be.

We’re seeing this enforcement of “my relative truth is the one you have to believe” play out with the militantly dogmatic LGBT community (add letters at will to LGBT). But it also exists in politics, economics, academia, entertainment, and just about everywhere you look.

It isn’t actually true that the earth would be better off without humans on it, and that we ought to return to pre-industrial-age technology to atone for being here. Nor is it true that you love pollution if you don’t buy into that humans-are-evil perception.

It isn’t actually true that setting a higher minimum wage for low-skilled workers will make the lives of enter-level workers better. It is more likely to prevent entry-level workers from getting the first jobs that give them experience along with a little bit of income.

It isn’t actually true that government intervention shows that government cares. Government can’t actually care at all; it is simply power. What is actually true is that government interference causes unintended consequences, usually exactly the opposite of the stated goal of the interference. By the way, it isn’t true that government-require purchased health insurance means better health care for all; in the real world it means higher costs and lower quality health care for all.

It isn’t actually true that abstract art, or pushing the envelope, leads to more beauty. Art within constraints has always led to more beauty and innovation than meaningless shapes or purposely vile depictions.

It isn’t actually true that Democrats are the good guys to minorities, especially Blacks. In the provable reality, Democrats have historically been anti-Black, and their policies have proven harmful to Blacks more so other demographics. But perception has overridden verifiable reality for over 90% of Black voters.

It isn’t actually true that centrally standardized government institutional education means better education; in the real world this often means education is deficient for all but the few whose needs match up with the factory-style approach. Maybe not even for them. But even bringing up the idea of alternative choices leads to a howling about not caring about children.

Here’s the problem I see with the philosophical belief that truth is relative: those who claim to believe this are the least likely to tolerate differences from their view of truth. If truth is relative, then the rule must be that you cannot impose your truth on someone else. So there should be zero pressure on the population to conform to their alternative, personal “truths.”

In a world where reality, like gravity, is not to be ignored, we are better off doing certain things:

·         Be open to new information, in case your perception of what is true isn’t accurate.
·         Be tolerant of others who have different beliefs; give the benefit of the doubt that they are searching for truth just as you are. You might just be at a different place in the truth search journey right now.
·         But when you have enough data to be quite sure of a truth, and the other side has no convincing evidence on their side, don’t let them bully you into submission. Stand firm even when the pressure is huge, and growing, and intimidating. Maybe especially then.

Maybe this is why Captain America is my
favorite Marvel superhero.

More Disneyland Fun

I had to throw in one picture of the candy corn gardens at California Adventure! I loved them, and I might have to steal their idea for our fall decorating next year. Disneyland in the fall was beautiful too. There were all different colors and varieties of mums and marigolds. Fall colors everywhere. There were also pumpkins of all the Disney characters, and a giant pumpkin of Mickey Mouse. He was darling! This Disney characters also were running around in their Halloween costumes. It was a really fun time of year to go!
This is one of the only pics with me in it. I'm usually taking the pictures and can get out of it. But Wes took this one, and I think he did a good job! Kolton loved the fire truck. We stopped by it just about every day while everyone took turns in the potty. (Yes, potty training all 3 older boys continues with much success while we were there. Yeah boys!)
Gotta have a picture by the entrance. I wanted to get one with just our little family, but it was well over 90 degrees this day and we melted waiting for this one. Micah wouldn't even look because the sun was so bright. I bet it's fun to see everyone grow and change each time you go back and get another one of these pictures.
This is one of my favorite pictures of the whole trip. Favorite moment too! Kolton and Micah shared and ice cream cone on the really hot day. Kolton shared it all by himself without being asked. I loved it! They seem like they are really growing to love and enjoy each other so much these past few weeks. The close gap is finally beginning to pay off. Aren't they sweet?

pinching myself

Today I am full of hope.

This week has been so full of emotional ups and downs.  From all the busy things at the beginning, to the new developments at the end.

I did go see a new doctor on Wednesday, and he was fabulous!  Very competent, caring, and thorough.  He explained a lot of things in English, that I could understand.  He wanted to mainly treat me nutritionally, which I really liked.  (I am believer in the healing power of food.)

The clincher:  to follow his 6-month program was going to be $6,000.00 .  And our insurance wasn't going to cover any of it.  $6,000.00 plus labs and supplements.  The insurance may have covered a few of the labs.....the rest would be up to us.

Wes was all gung-ho about it.  I think he is so sick of me being sick, that he would do or pay anything of it meant having his wife back.  He was so excited about it, that I felt like I had to at least try, although I was just so sick to my stomach about all the money.  Not to mention, he told me that gluten and thyroid cells look almost identical in your body.  So once you have an autoimmune thyroid disease, you are gluten intolerant for life.  I really, really, didn't want to hear that.  And honestly, I don't believe it.  But Wes told me that I just needed to accept it and let it go - if that was the difference between being sick and being well, then I should just be gluten-free.  Easy for him to say from where he stands.

Needless to say, I'd already been off gluten for one day, so I figured I'd do if for a month or so and see what happened and how I felt.

The doc also wanted me to go on an anti-inflammatory diet.  No gluten, no grains, no tomatoes, potatoes, or corn.  No eggs, beef, pork, shellfish, or canned meat.  No dairy or eggs, margarine or shortening (not that we ever use the margarine or shortening). No peanuts or peanut butter.  No sugar or other artificial sweeteners, no alcohol or caffeine.

What can I eat then?

Plenty of water.  Fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, peas.  Fresh fish, chicken, and turkey.  Good oils:  coconut, flax, and olive oil.  Seeds and nuts (except peanuts of course), and nut butters.

Sound hard?

I thought so, and I LOVE fruits and vegetables.  But I knew that if we were going to pay so much, I couldn't fail at this diet or anything else this doc told me to do.  I spent a good part of the day trying to figure out how to eat out (I have a baby shower tonight and a dinner with Wes' girl cousins and Oma tomorrow night), what I needed to buy and have on hand, what I could cook ahead in case I needed to just grab something and go.  And of course, how to get through my fear of the raw foods I so dearly love.

Then I received and email from this new friend.  She had just done her first Neuromodulation treatment, and was so excited about it.  The cost?  $300.00.  It might end up being a little more, but even if it ended up being $3000.00, it would still be less than half of the other doctor.  And this doctor though there was a chance he could completely reverse not only the autoimmune problems, but allergies and food intolerances also.

Once I got this email, I just knew I had to try this first.

Wes and I had a big talk and decided to back out of the other thing and use it as a "Plan B".  I made an appointment for the next day (They had just had a cancellation - what timing.)  I went in on good faith and came out wondering if this was really going to work, but committed to the program anyway, knowing I had a Plan B if I needed it.  I tried to keep an open mind.

After I left, I didn't feel any different.  I even had some anxiety symptoms (heart palpitations, shortness of breath) when I initially got into bed.  But I knew I was having them because I was going to bed a little later than normal after doing quite a bit of laundry and ironing for that late at night (poor Wes didn't have any clean clothes to wear to work, so it had to be done).  I said a prayer that I would know whether or not this was helping, and also that it would be the thing that did help.  I wanted this to work SO BAD!

I woke up this morning to Jonah's noises at 2:24AM.  I had slept for three hours straight without having any trouble falling asleep.  I went back to sleep and woke up to Wes' alarm at 6:00.  I don't even remember the last time I was rested enough to hear that alarm, or Jonah's cries for a bottle shortly after.  I got up to get J's bottle, and to my surprise, my eyes opened right up!  They are still droopy, but I didn't have to push them open with my fingers.  Then I noticed my mouth wasn't nearly as dry as it had been lately upon waking (the doc thought my dry mouth was a fight-or-flight response, from panic attacks, rather than just sleeping with my mouth open.  It made sense to me at the time, and now I totally believe it.).  I got up and drank some water and felt like I had a different neck/throat.  The feeling of a huge lump that's been there for the past few years was completely gone and even breathing felt a little different.  I couldn't believe it and neither could Wes.  I had a hard time making myself go back to sleep this morning (Wes made me), but when I did finally get over the excitement enough to do it, I slept another three hours!  My sweet boys slept in pretty late this morning, and I was able to also since they weren't in my room waking me up for breakfast (I know it's sad, but that's the way it's been the past few months.  One day I will be my early-riser self again.).  In one night, I got the equivalent of three nights' sleep for me.  I am SO happy!

The edgy, keyed-up feeling I've had since all this started is almost gone.  I had a decent breakfast this morning since my best friend, Celest, sent me away to find a GF restaurant and get a few groceries while she watched our kids.  (I have felt so blessed and grateful to her for all the love and support she's given me throughout this whole ordeal.  She is a saint, and I hope one day, I can be there for her when she needs it.  I am so grateful that Heavenly Father knew I would need her.  She has been a big rock in my life from the minute we met and I love her dearly, like a sister.  She is such a good, sweet, fun person, and I will be forever grateful for her friendship and influence in my life.)

Right now, I feel tired.  It's like my body finally realized it can sleep soundly and now it's all it wants to do.  I am going to take a nap today when the boys go down, and try to get to bed early tonight.

I go see the doctor for my next Neuromodulation treatment on Monday.  I can't wait!  He also told me to go off gluten - for three weeks.  I'm on day 4 now.  Cross your fingers for me and wish me luck!  I have faith in rapid, effective, whole healing.

What do you love to do?

Courtesy of RGB Stock

While speedily getting my son ready for karate class he began excitingly talking about his next belt test and how he wants to advance to the next level. Completely disconnected from him,  I was simply interested in getting him to class on time. I then began thinking about how my children’s after school activities interfere with cooking dinner, laundry, and various other chores. I asked him which of his various after school activities he likes best in an attempt to find out how we could simplify our schedule. He was not gonna let this be easy. He insisted he liked all his after school activities and had no interest in cutting anything out.  I then said, “well which activity do you really love?”  His response was, “I love them all.” Then he said, “What do you love to do mommy?”  Just then, I realized he shifted into the role as “my teacher.” He understood first hand the joys and thrills of engaging in a a fun-filled activity. This type of energy was lacking in me!!! My 6-year-old son zoomed in on my lack of joy. I filled my schedule up with “have to dos”and left little to no room for “want to dos.”  I invested so much time and energy into exploring and nurturing  joy in my children that I had forgotten about me. If I am to be an excellent role model for my children then I should follow my son’s advice. My response to my wisdom keeper was….”I need to figure out what I love to do……thank you.”

What came to mind as I began reflecting on this idea was my own youth. I became lost in memories of me dancing and joyfully whirling about as a little girl. About how exuberant I was, much like my son. Just then, I felt my eyes fill up with tears as I connected with this part of myself that had long been neglected. She was sad and wanted expression. She wanted to dance. There was my answer. I needed to dance. The answer was simple as soon as I tapped into this aspect of myself, my inner child. What wisdom does your inner child hold?

Children naturally have access to joy because their bodies resonate at a higher rate. They are more connected to their source because it is natural. We remain this way until we are programmed by outside influences to shut it down at varying degrees.  Through the years, we sometimes suppress this version of ourselves as we emulate the adults around us. We  also neglect it as we become “responsible,” completing task after task until we become too tired to do anything but sit on the couch. Accessing higher levels of joy by doing what we love,  even for a short time actually supplies us with vibrancy. I invite you to revisit this aspect of yourself by engaging in this meditation.

Meditation to Access Joy

Preparation: have a pen and paper next to you so you may write down any discoveries.

Sit comfortably and begin to focus on your breath as you easily draw in air through your nose and release through your mouth. Relax the muscles of your face and neck as you create an easy stream of breathing in and out of your body. Relax and let go of any tension in your jaw, bringing your attention down your chest and upper back as you melt away any tension there. Draw your focus to your heart area and mid back as you support your body in releasing tension and anything that may be holding you back. Focus now on your belly and lower back, allowing your body to unfasten any stress. Release all worries. Bring your attention to your hips and thighs, drawing out any harsh energy. Breath deeply as you bring your attention down your legs and around your knees, smoothing out your muscles. Now bring your focus to you shins and ankles. Finally, bring your awareness to your feet and empty out any tension there. Now bring your complete focus to your heart. Wrap yourself inside the walls of your heart and meet the child that is within you. Wrap your arms around him/her and send them your heartfelt love and gratitude for their presence. Allow this child to show you what they love to do. What makes them sing with joy? Listen…..thank this beautiful child and give them a loving embrace.

What did you discover? Now go forward with this information and be joyful!

Many Blessings!!

Solider, Sailor, Airman Too – Excellent Biography

Soldier, Sailor & Airman Too
The Fighting Life of Group Captain A.B. ‘Woody’ Woodhall
By A.B. ‘Woody’ Woodhall

This is an excellent book. I used it for research in writing the Decisive Duel. It does not appear in my footnotes because I did not quote from it directly and it is not in the select bibliography because it is not in the footnotes. This reflects that is I was doing The Decisive Duel for an academic press, I would have to have had several times the numbers of footnotes and a commensurate increase in bibliography. The book was way big as it was.

“Woody” was important in the rise of fighter control. Because of his relationship with Bader, and, through him, to Leigh-Mallory, he set up how it was done from the Battle on. I found the Malta part of the story the most useful, in part because there are an couple of orders-of-magnitude fewer books on the subject.

By the way, this is not of purely historical interest. Next time you get to speak to a USAF general, ask him or her why F-22 Raptors do not have Link 16-compatible datalinks and that, while funding for this upgrade is indeed in the FYDP (future years defense plan), ask him or her to consider what places may freeze over before it actually ends up operational. It goes back to Woody, Bader, and the role of situational awareness from outside the cockpit back in 1940.

This Weekend in College Football: Week 4

Yarr, there be spelling and grammar mistake dragons here. But let's get down to it anyway, and it'll be ready more than 24 hours in advance, to boot!

As usual, all times Eastern and all predictions wrong.

  • Notre Dame @ Pittsburgh (ABC): I should probably write something about realignment, but I don't really have the time right now. So I'll start here: Pitt, you need to start to win some games and not letting Iowa stage a 21-point rally in the last 16:16 of the game. That said, Notre Dame's demolishing of a superior defense in Michigan State last weekend might show they're ready now after an unsteady first two games, so I'll go with the Irish here.
  • North Carolina @ Georgia Tech (ESPN): It's always fun when your team scores 66 points. I almost hate to say it but the 2nd reminded me of the Stanford-Wake Forest game I went to last year out here, in terms of "dominating offensive performances". That said, Carolina does have an actual, real defense and some ability to move the ball, while GT's defensive performance in the first half against Kansas was, shall we say, lackluster. Additionally, I don't really feel good about the fact we decided to print t-shirts about beating Kansas.
  • Eastern Michigan @ Pennsylvania State (ESPN2): This will be a good recovery after what Alabama did to Penn State. Then again, they probably thought that going into the Temple game last weekend.
  • Southern Methodist @ Memphis (FSN): Memphis is still one of the worst teams in college football, but at least they didn't lose to Austin Peay. Anyway, Mustangs roll.
  • Central Michigan @ Michigan State (ESPNU): Speaking of recovery games, this might be exactly what Sparty needs after fizzling against Notre Dame.
  • San Diego State @ Michigan (BTN): For Wazzou, nothing had to be more deflating for prospects of "maybe this is the year we aren't a laughingstock anymore" than losing 42-24 to SDSU. That said, the Aztecs are more than capable of scoring points and may be able to keep this interesting into the second half.
  • Georgia @ Mississippi (SEC): Look, Georgia's not very good this year, but Ole Miss, well, that is a trainwreck in progress. If you tune into this one, you may be stuck in "horrifying yet can't look away" mode.
12:30: Temple @ Maryland (ACC): Temple was able to give Penn State a run for its money, but honestly that was probably a fluke. Terps should be able to take care of business.

  • Arkansas @ Alabama (CBS): Nick Saban vs. Bobby Petrino. This game is usually pretty fun, even if the Tide winds up winning in the end - which they probably will in this game.
  • Colorado @ Ohio State (ABC/ESPN2): Ohio State may have basically been an offensively non-entity in Miami, but playing the extremely lackluster Colorado defense should help make them look better this time around. And let's face it, the Buckeye backups are probably still better than Colorado's starters at this point.
  • Oklahoma State @ Texas Agricultural and Mechanical (ESPN2/ABC): Nothing like having your bye week in the first month of the season to ensure that you get most of the way to October with people still writing "well, we still don't know much about this team". I'm talking about TAMU here, as they've only played two games against SMU and Idaho. Points were scored, though, which seems a safe bet to carry into this game. I actually stayed up to watch part of that Oklahoma State-Tulsa game, and, well, it was kind of fun once but I won't exactly be pining for 10:00pm Pacific starts from the Big 12 in the future. Anyway, I think OSU wins in a shootout.
  • Florida State @ Clemson (ESPN): FSU should be able to bounce back against Clemson as long as they're not too bummed out about losing to Oklahoma. Also, Dabo Swinney is likely easily outfoxed by simple utensils, which gives a slight edge to most opposing coaches.
  • California @ Washington (FSN): Well, Washington got beat pretty bad by Nebraska, but that was expected. Cal is 3-0 but its best victory is an overtime win against Colorado, so at this point it would seem these teams are about evenly matched. In that case, I'll take Cal, where Jeff Tedford seems to have some of his offensive mojo back.
  • Virginia Tech @ Marshall (CBSS): By all rights, VPI should win this by 50, seeing as how Marshall is coming off a 44-7 loss to Ohio (as in, the university in Athens, Ohio). But seeing as how VPI only managed to beat ECU by 7 and Arkansas State by 19, expect the unexpected and take the under.
  • Kansas State @ Miami (ESNPU): Yeah, I have a feeling this won't end well for the Wildcats.
  • South Dakota @ Wisconsin (BTN): Wisconsin.
  • Southern Miss @ Virginia (ACC/FSN): I was tempted to pick the upset here, but looking at it, well, Virginia should probably win this one.
  • Florida @ Kentucky (ESPN): Kentucky just lost to Louisville, so, well, I feel pretty good about UF in this one.
  • Vanderbilt @ South Carolina (ESPN2): Vandy's 3-0 folks! Enjoy it while it lasts, Commodore fans.
  • Louisiana Tech @ Mississippi State (ESPNU): With all this realignment talk, I am still baffled by Louisiana Tech's continued presence in the WAC. Maybe C-USA will get raided and they can join them or something. Anyway, Miss State should be able to get back its offensive footing as long as they don't have some general aversion to all teams with "Louisiana" in their name.
  • North Dakota State @ Minnesota (BTN): Minnesota. Well, probably.
  • Florida Atlantic @ Auburn (SEC/FSN): Auburn. Definitely.
7:30: Nebraska @ Wyoming (Versus): I'm assuming Wyoming still has their nice brown home unis (well, "nice", anyway), which may give you a reason to tune into this one.

  • Louisiana State @ West Virginia (ABC): Will Morgantown survive the evening? WVU's got some talented players and an actual coach now, but LSU's defense should be able to keep them bottled up. But hey, it's college football's two rowdiest fanbases meeting up at night in a college town known for obscene t-shirts and a passion for furniture-based arson, which may be worth the price admission alone.
  • Missouri @ Oklahoma (FX): There'll probably be some points scored in this game, but the Sooners should prevail.
  • Tulsa @ Boise State (CBSS): Tulsa becomes the latest victims of the Boise State Death Machine, hopefully those kids got some sleep before having to travel west though.
  • Southern California @ Arizona State (ESPN): Arizona State lost to Illinois? Oof. Um, yeah, going to have to go with the Trojans here.
  • Oregon @ Arizona (ESPN2): Arizona has already given up 37 points each to Oklahoma State and Stanford. Need I say more?

Keidel: Thurman-Porter Bout Puts Boxing Back In Primetime And The Public Eye

By Jason Keidel

The fight between Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter on June 25 is more than a welterweight title bout on a Saturday night. It’s the first time CBS will hoist the primetime boxing flag since Muhammad Ali fought Leon Spinks in February, 1978.

The symbolism now has sad, accidental heft with the recent death of Ali, whom many regard as the most important athlete of the 20th Century. His cultural eminence was too varied to list here. And in a strict, boxing sense was either the best or second-best boxer of all-time (depending on where you rate Ray Robinson).

No one doubts that the sport has taken its share of PR body blows since Ali’s epoch, since the golden heavyweight era of the ’70s and the reign of the Four Kings (Duran, Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns) in the ’80s.

No central, governing body, promoters with personal agendas, and the best fighters not often fighting each other have made for a mutating mission statement and a sliding presence down the totem pole of preeminent American sports.

“Boxing became laissez-faire capitalism run amok,” says Al Bernstein, the renowned reporter and pundit. “There’s no overriding body to force the best matches. It’s only by osmosis that they sensed that if they didn’t start doing so they would lose fans.”

Over the last decade, since the last fertile era of Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins, Felix Trinidad, Roy Jones, Jr, etc., boxing has devolved into a small stable of premium fighters groomed for premium cable. Long gone is the wide palate of free, network fights.

As fellow commentator and historian Steve Farhood says, boxing has often applied an inverted business model. “Boxing is the only sport where the bigger the event, the smaller the audience,” says Farhood, who will be the unofficial scorer on June 25.

He has a point. Only boxing promotes its best product over the sprawling swath of media, then narrows its showcase events to cable entities. Imagine watching the NFL for four months across the litany of free-TV networks, only to have the Super Bowl broadcast on Spike for $89.99.

So it’s not hyperbole to suggest that this is a hallmark event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Not only because it’s beamed into exponentially more homes than any cable or pay-per-view event, but also because of the quality of the fights.

Maybe it’s not the Thrilla in Manila, but Thurman/Porter is hardly a boxing afterthought. “It’s two fighters in their prime,” says Bernstein. “It’s a 50/50 matchup. If you talk to ten hardcore fight fans, you’d get five for Porter and five for Thurman.”

“It took something very special for CBS to step back in,” says Stephen Espinoza, Showtime’s executive vice president for sports programming. “We’ve got, for my money, the two best active welterweights in the world fighting each other.”

Bernstein also sees this as refreshing, old-school clash of strengths. “Stylistically, it’s a good matchup,” he says. “Thurman is a boxer-puncher and has really good mechanics. Porter is a charging fighter who uses a lot of strength and tenacity and conditioning to win fights.”

And unlike the high-priced PPV events, which are really little more than a few, soporific exhibitions leading up to the main event, this is a classic fight card.

“It’s important to put fights like this on CBS,” says Bernstein. “This is a really good card. I’d be shocked if at least two of these fights weren’t really exciting.”

Indeed, it will take mass public consumption for boxing to return to the mainstream, to shed its tattered robe as a niche sport.

“There’s been much PBC stuff over the last year and a half,” says Farhood. “The more good fights you show, the better. CBS will have way more eyes than premium cable.”

That’s not to say boxing will abandon the lucrative business of pay-per-view. But network television can serve myriad roles, especially as a de facto farm system for young fighters, so that by the time they reach PPV orbit, the public will know who they are.

“It makes for an easier marriage between CBS and Showtime,” says Farhood, who is no stranger to the CBS cable subsidiary, having been a vital part of the ShoBox series for over two decades.

For their part, Porter and Thurman, who are fast friends outside the ring, are even more eager for the fight and the night than those who put it together.

“I’m back at my regular weight, at 147 pounds,” says Porter, who’s coming off a big win over Adrien Broner, at a catch-weight of 144 pounds. “No struggle to make the weight. And I know I’m going to be strong and healthy coming into the fight.”

Unlike Broner – the former golden boy of the sport who was supposed to assume Floyd Mayweather’s pound-for-pound crown, but has succumbed to poor performance and legal roadblocks – Porter does most of his fighting with his fists, not his gums.

“I’ve been working extremely hard, like I always do,” says Porter. “And we’ll be prepared for any and everything that Keith has. And we’ll see if he’s prepared for any and everything I got.”

Though they have to table their friendship for 12 rounds, it doesn’t seem to keep their keen eyes off the prize. “I look forward to this challenge of this rivalry that we share,” says Thurman. “Growing up together, never getting to fight one another but always pushing one another and trying to make one another better. But, come next week, we’ll know who’s the best.”

And while most boxers are used to overcoming more bumps and cuts than the average pro athlete, Thurman has the added hurdle of an injured neck from a car accident in February.

“It’s just been a little different,” Thurman said of his training for the bout. “We couldn’t spar early in the camp. For the safety of my neck and not to risk or jeopardize anything, and just follow my doctor’s instructions.”

Then there’s the dual-symbolism of boxing’s return to CBS and to the Big Apple. You don’t have to be Burt Sugar to know that New York City is boxing’s ancestral home.

Going back to MSG’s older iterations, from the Felt Forum to 49th Street, it was quite common for the sport’s luminaries fighting in the smoky arena, from Joe Louis to Ray Robinson to Rocky Marciano. Maybe Brooklyn isn’t quite midtown Manhattan or Madison Square Garden, but it’s an important statement night and fight.

“More fights on free television is good for the sport,” says Farhood. “For too long, boxing took its greatest events to its smallest audience. Going back to Floyd Patterson, you had to go to a movie theater to see it.”

Which brings us back to Thurman vs Porter, and a bell ringing for a new era in boxing and broadcast television. Maybe it doesn’t have the cachet of Ali/Spinks, but it’s a great way to remodel the face of the sport.

“I was a senior at NYU when Ali fought Spinks the first time,” says Farhood, of the February 15, 1978 bout. “In fact, it was my birthday. The fight did a 34 rating, the second-highest primetime rating that week.”

Even for a sport trying to adjust to a new world, anyone would take those old-world numbers.

Non-Romo MVP candidate Write-In Ballot

In Friday's edition of the Star-Telegram, we asked you to vote for this season's Cowboys' MVP candidate not named Tony Romo.

Your choices were Ken Hamlin, Terrell Owens, Jay Ratliff, DeMarcus Ware and Jason Witten. Not happy with any of those selections? Then this is the place to cast your write-in ballot.

Post a comment below with your choice.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Non-Romo MVP candidate Write-In Ballot:

Marion Barber has had an awesome year and should be included in the top 5. He is my pick by far, he has been a great pick for me on my fantasy team.

marion barber is my pick. i love to see him beat on the defenses, i am reminded of those orc guys in the lord of the rings, only he's running after a super bowl ring.

Greg Ellis,

leads team in sacks, missed two games and coming off late-season ACL. Jerry did the right thing in passing on Moss. Ware is nothing w/o Ellis, just like Romo needs TO and J-dub.

Look how the C'boys did prior to Greg Ellis rejoining the defense on a regular basis. He solidified the left or right side dependent upon which one he played. Also, he reduced the pressure on the other defensive line members with his presence in the defense.

Jason Witten...hands down.

Sam Hurd

He has made (in almost every other game) clutch catches to keep several drives alive!

Hands Don Terrel Owens Period without him your a different offense and not nearly as explosive

Greg Ellis

marion barber

Michele Vincze......Bradie James sucks man no way no how he's an MVP....Eldo is the MVP.....then Bigg Leonard Davis

It has to be Witten he has been an awesome asset this season and has given defense's fits. This is a no brainer

Any list with Roy Williams or Terrance Newman on it had to be made be a moron.

Roy Williams, I can understand....even though the person who said we have 4 safeties better IS a moron....

Newman on the other hand has been very helpful in our secondary, I think he has allowed a grand total of one touchdown this year...

For me its....

Leonard Davis

Marion Barber .. no question.. I love watching him play
He deserves to be picked as MVP #2.

How about Reeves? When Henry and Newman were banged up, who manned the secondary. A lot of people forget about him, but he has played very well for this team.

Any list with Roy Williams or Terrance Newman on it had to be made be a moron. For me it is either Owens, Witten, or Ware. No one else other than Romo meant as much to this team.

Marion Barber he is a good running back and gives his all on every play Plus he blocks..

How is no one in this room talking about Roy Williams stating "I can't change the way I play"....and following his genious ploy to be the NFL super bowl commercial about "I couldn't read til my senior year (I hope that's high school although it may be college)...MVP..I want Roy Williams to play every down and gets hurt so he can spend more time learning how to read....maybe Dallas can get an injury settlement...Cowboys have 4 safeties better than he is...

Roy Williams
Terrell Owens
Jason Witten
Terence Newman
Marion Barber III
Greg Ellis

Greg Ellis
a. takes blocking pressure off Ware
b. outstaning force player against the run allowing corner to truly play pass first
c. defense went down the drain without him last year

Marion Barber

Bradie James, Wossman High (Monroe, La.), LSU, Cowboys LB

« Cowboys to train with Chargers in San Diego for two days after Aug. 18 preseason game | Main | Cap-strapped Cowboys hope to start signing rookies in June »

May 05, 2012

Rudy Carpenter is ready to compete for the third QB job

The Cowboys signed Rudy Carpenter as an undrafted free agent in 2009, the same year they drafted Stephen McGee in the fourth round. In the end, Dallas kept McGee over Carpenter on the active roster, even though Carpenter outplayed McGee. The Cowboys signed Carpenter to the practice squad that season before Tampa Bay signed him to its active roster.

Three years later, Carpenter is back as the Cowboys claimed him off waivers last month. He again will compete with McGee for the No. 3 job, though Carpenter likely has a better shot this time. McGee is in the final year of his contract.

"I have no idea," Carpenter said when asked about what he's been told about the competition for the No. 3 job. "I’m going on my fourth year in the NFL, and I’ve been told a lot of things and a lot of things have been said. For me, I’m just going to go and compete and do my job. I don’t think anyone thought I had a chance to make it here my first year, and I was able stick around a while. I feel like there’s a reason why I’m back. I’m just going to do what I do and compete and hopefully get an opportunity."

Carpenter, 26, got into one regular-season game with the Bucs last season, although he didn't throw a pass. In the 2011 preseason, Carpenter completed 24 of 42 passes for 388 yards with two touchdowns, no interceptions and a 104.1 passer rating.

Carpenter said he is way ahead of where he was three years ago when he arrived at Valley Ranch.

"I came in here [after the Cowboys claimed him] and I was like, 'I pretty much remember a lot of [the offense],'" Carpenter said. "I got in here with [quarterbacks coach] Wade [Wilson] when we were allowed to watch film again. I was calling all the plays, shifts and motions. It was kind of like I never left. For my position, when you can do that, it just takes a lot of anxiety out of the whole situation."

Carpenter can do this. I watch him at ASU. He's got the skills and had great leadership at ASU. I would like to see him compete with Orton cuz I know he's better than McGee. Carpenter has a better arm and accuracy than Orton as well. Not sure why the Cowboys arn't bringing him up. Would like to know?

If Rudy Carpenter makes this team as the third string quarterback. That would be TWO UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT QUARTERBACKS out of three on this team. And that would be simply amazing!!....lol...

Hey Rudy...pi$$ on trying to be third string....your attitude should be to win the starting job from Romo. Otherwise you're just another bench warmer.

LUDERICK: Blackfish
Sci: Girella tricuspidata

Common Names: This fish is rarely called by its official name anywhere outside of Victoria. In New South Wales and southern Queensland, where most luderick are caught, they are more widely known as blackfish, "blackies", "niggers" or "darkies". Big, sea-going luderick are sometimes nicknamed "bronzies" or "square-mouths", while on Queensland's Gold and Sunshine Coasts, the species is erroneously referred to as "black bream".

Description: A small to medium-sized omnivorous fish of the ocean and estuaries, characterised by a small, relatively square mouth and comb-like teeth. The luderick's colouration varies with its habitat. Estuary-dwelling fish are usually dark grey to purplish-brown, overlaid by nine or more darker vertical stripes. The belly is creamy. Ocean fish often take on a brassy or bronze hue over their purple-brown base colour. However, they may also be a light blue-grey or grey with distinct dark stripes. The luderick's fins, especially the tail, are darker than its body.

Size: Most luderick taken by anglers weigh between 0.4 and 1.2 kg. However, an occasional exceptional specimen may approach 3 kg, and the species has the potential to exceed 4 kg.

Distribution: Luderick are found around the south eastern seaboard of Australia; from about Fraser Island or Maryborough in Queensland to western Victoria and north eastern Tasmania. They are also reasonably prolific in New Zealand waters, particularly around the North Island.

Fishing Techniques: Blackfishing or "niggering" is the traditional and time-proven method for taking these fish. A centrepin reel, long, fine rod and stemmed float are used to suspend a bait of green weed or cabbage between 1 and 5 m beneath the surface of the water. The line to the hook should be fine, the hook small and sharp and the float weighted so that the softest bite will sink it. Blackfish are also taken on baits of peeled prawn, sand, squirt or bloodworm, cunjevoi, yabbies (nippers) and hermit crabs. In most areas, luderick take these baits best in late winter and spring. Whatever the chosen fishing method, the gear should be light, and hooks small. Berleying can also be a big help.

Eating Qualities: Luderick are regarded as a fair to good eating fish, but should be bled and cleaned promptly for best results. Those luderick caught around the rocks generally taste better than fish taken inside estuaries and rivers. All luderick intended for the table should be filleted and skinned to help remove the slight taste of weed sometimes present in their flesh.

Sci: Istiophorous platypetrus

Common Names: The Indo-Pacific sailfish is also known as the "sail", "spear-chucker" or "spearfish", although the two latter names may cause confusion with the related, but rare, short-billed spearfish (Tetapturus angustirostris).

Description: The sailfish is a long but lightly-built pelagic gamefish, characterised by having a top jaw which extends into a long, slender bill or spear, and an extremely high and ornate dorsal fin. Colouration is usually electric blue to blue-green, darker on the back and overlaid with broken vertical bars and dashes of lavender or powder-blue. Some fish have a golden or coppery flush to the gill covers and flanks when alive, especially if stressed or tired. The sail-like dorsal fin is dark, steely-blue with many blue/black or purple spots and broken dashes.

Size: Sailfish grow to almost 4 m in length and weights of as much as 100 kg, but are more common at half that length, and weights of 15 to 45 kg. The biggest sailfish found in our waters have come from Queensland's Whitsunday Islands, and the waters around Lord Howe Islands, off the north coast of New South Wales. Distribution: Indo-Pacific sailfish are found throughout the tropical and sub-tropical areas of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. A very closely related fish occurs in the Atlantic, where it is usually smaller in size. Sailfish are surface and mid-water wanderers, preferring to hunt in warm currents and upwellings over inshore grounds and out toward the edge of the continental shelf.

Fishing Techniques: Sailfish caught by anglers in Australia are mainly taken on trolled, rigged baits of garfish or mullet, pulled behind a boat travelling at 4 to 8 knots, or small to medium live baits drifted or cast close to feeding "pods" of sails or bait fish schools. They will readily strike fast-trolled lures such as jet-heads and straight-running skirted heads pulled at 8 to 15 knots. However, many strikes on these strikes fail to result in hook-ups, because of the sail's long bill and hard mouth. In northern Western Australia, a growing number of sailfish are being taken on live baits from the ocean rocks. In the same area, adventurous fly rodders also target these fish on saltwater fly tackle after "teasing" them to the surface with hookless baits or lures trolled behind a boat.

Eating Qualities: The sailfish is quite palatable, despite its dark, somewhat sinewy flesh, which is ideally suited to being smoked. In Australia, the vast majority of sailfish taken on rod and reel are tagged and released. They are pursued primarily for the superb sport they provide on light tackle.
