River Fishing Report: August 2010 By Captain Rob D’Andrea www.orlando-fishingcharters.com When you stop and think about it, fishing is a lot like a game of chance. Just as many folks head to the casino to try their luck at hitting a jackpot, and a fisherman or woman heads out on the water in hopes off catch “the big one” against many odds. The question is, how can an angler increase his or her chance at success? A savvy gambler would never play a game he doesn’t understand,... [Read more...]

Summertime surf fishing will be slow, with little wave action in the surf and cold water on the beaches. If we get a small rolling swell and a little chop, your odds might increase. The lack of sand fleas around doesn’t help the shore bite, but look for a few whiting and the occasional pompano. Most of the anglers are trading their pompano gear in for heavier rods and are targeting the large schools of bait moving along the beaches and catching tarpon and snook. The massive bait pods full... [Read more...]

I recently had to take a couple of days off to clear my DVR. It was almost at 97%; what other option was there? It’s not like the shows will be shown again later on! Whatever the case, after a couple of hours of forensic science and cop shows, I end up at that show about whaling or saving whales, however you see it. Thanks to the environmentalists’ saddling and bridling of the NMFS like a Mexican burro, my tolerance for the enviro movement is nil. Did anyone else cheer when the Shonan... [Read more...]

Linda Cole Jazz phenomenon Linda Cole began singing with her father and mother at the age of three throughout her hometown of Freeport, Illinois. In the following years, as the family added six more singing Cole children, Linda became instrumental in the formation of the “Singing Cole Family,” known throughout central United States during the early to mid 1960s. After 17 years singing gospel and pop with her family, Linda branched out into rhythm and blues while traveling from Manhattan... [Read more...]
Jedi Grind Tricks: August 2010 By Scooter Newell While in college I refused to schedule my life around television shows and decided to use my television only as a monitor for my VHS player. I’m holding to my promise of being largely TV-free. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve logged plenty of hours as a kid watching “Family Ties,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “The Young Ones,” “The Smurfs,” “Moonlighting,” “The Honeymooners,”... [Read more...]
Beach Bash By Kimberly Stone www.beachinmommies.com Starting in the late ’80s, a clutch of American bands have redefined reggae by blending it with rock, ska, dub, and hip-hip. A new wave of bands have now made that uncertain redefinition a wholesale transformation, further blurring the lines separating traditional genres with an improvisational, experimental and adaptive approach without losing the fundamental beat that drives pure reggae. On the national circuit, bands like Sublime and 311... [Read more...]

Hank III Call it hard-twang, punkabilly, cowpunk, alternacountry, slacker swing or honky punk. It’s certainly not your grandfather’s country music — nor is it your father’s, unless your grandfather happens to be the legendary Hank Williams and your father Hank Williams, Jr. Like his famous forebears, Hank Williams III is a rebel to the country establishment, though you wouldn’t necessarily know it from his 1999 debut, Risin’ Outlaw, which takes the music two generations...

Jack Johnson Wins the Heavyweight Crown There was Muhammad Ali, of course. Before that, there was Joe Louis and Sugar Ray and Henry Armstrong explaining how you can’t discriminate against a left hook. “But in 1908,” says Ron Flatter of ESPN.com, “39 years before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in major league baseball, there was Jack Johnson (1878-1946) — the first black man to hold the world heavyweight championship.” Winning the title was the easy part...
