Latest Reel Class Point Pleasant Fishing News and Reports
In the spirit of always being transparent, here's our latest update!
This morning, the Henriques which we purchased in 2014 left Clark's Landing headed North up to New Hampshire with its new owners. We wish them NOTHING but the best with this boat!
For us, this boat was very good to us for almost 4 years. It's size, it's stability, it's seaworthiness, and overall it's room were a great asset and we killed MANY fish with this boat.
But, as is the case with any boat, and any boat owner can sympathize, the cost of running this boat really began to outweigh the revenue that it generated. In good faith, I could not raise my charter and open boat fares to insane levels just to compensate for the cost of running this boat. I found myself in the engine room and bilge multiple times per week, especially last season, and it got to a point where I couldn't keep up. Finally Thanksgiving weekend last year we had a major issue, had to cancel our trips, and that issue was finally fully resolved just a few weeks ago after months of work by GREAT diesel mechanics that basically rebuilt my entire starboard motor. As was the case back in May, the buyers that emerged back in the winter stayed with us all along through the ups and downs and we were able to work things out with them.
This is NOT the end for us, we're simply closing a chapter in our history. This is what happens, and sometimes decisions are easy to make, sometimes they're tough, for me, this decision was EASY.
Kenny and Eric have been with me all along with this and there will be more to come.... My goal is to return to our roots somewhat, in getting a boat that has more versatility and more speed; something we can take places we couldn't with the Henriques and still have a great fishing platform. Yes, I have something in mind :)
So with that said, consider this a mere hiatus, as we are going to take our time in doing our due diligence in investing in a boat that will serve us well in the present and in the future, as fisheries, regulations, and our lives change. So stay with us, and be patient!
....Onto the next chapter!
For day-by-day fishing reports - go to NJFishing.com or go on Capt Allen's Facebook page -- we post them there everyday!!

|Do not misunderstand me that I have no interest in having a permanent building at New York. I want the house more than you; my only objection is that "This is not a regular business transaction" as admitted by you. Why not make it regular now as suggested by my letter to Mr Payne?
|If there is sale contract, my students here (SF) and in New york will be able to raise the fund very seriously. In the absence of any sale contract everything appears to be in the air and Mr. Taylor or his lawyer can change his word as he has already done.
1968 - February 17
|We should never think of being perfect at any stage. Actually, Krishna Consciousness is unlimited, because Krishna is unlimited, so we do not know at which point the perfection is there. Even Krishna Himself thinks that he is imperfect to understand Radharani's feelings of devotion; and to understand the devotional feelings of Radharani, He became Lord Caitanya, to worship Krishna in the feelings of Radharani. So transcendental activities are so nice that it is all perfection, and still there is no perfect satisfaction.
|Anyway by sincerely working by carefully executing the instructions of the Spiritual Master, you will be all successful by Krishna's Grace. I am always praying to Krishna for your advancement in Krishna Consciousness, all of you, sincere souls.
|I am glad to know that you are working hard to expand the Krishna Consciousness propaganda in Boston. This practical devotion is the secret to understanding the Sastras.
|My Guru Maharaja used to say that for one who is not engaged in devotional service, reading all the books is simply like licking the outside of the honey jar. One who thinks the books is the thing is content in this way. But we should learn the secret to open the jar and taste the honey. In this way, if we can simply understand one book, or one sloka, the perfection is there. Lord Caitanya warned about reading too many books, although I see in America this is very popular to get volumes and volumes of books and not understand one.
|We can prepare some preachers so that even if I retire, the missionary work will go on under the able guidance of some of my selected disciples, like you, Brahmananda, Rupanuga, etc.

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
|"Somehow or other the finger is cut off, and it is falling on the ground; it has no value. My finger, when it is cut off and it is lying on the ground, it has no value. But, as soon as the finger is joined with this body, it has got millions and trillions of dollars' value. Invaluable. Similarly, we are now disconnected with God, or Kṛṣṇa, by this material condition. Forget... Not disconnected. Connection is there. God is supplying our all necessities. Just like a state prisoner is disconnected from the civil department; he has come to the criminal department. Actually not disconnected. The government is still taking care, but legally disconnected. Similarly, we are not disconnected. We cannot be disconnected, because there is no existence of anything without Kṛṣṇa. So how can I be disconnected? Disconnection is that by forgetting Kṛṣṇa, instead of engaging myself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I am engaged in so many nonsense consciousness. That is disconnection."
|690217 - Lecture BG 06.16-24 - Los Angeles
|How can I be disconnected? Disconnection is, that by forgetting Kṛṣṇa, instead of engaging myself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I am engaged in so many nonsense consciousness. That is disconnection. Instead of thinking myself that I am eternal servant of God or Kṛṣṇa, I am thinking I am servant of my society, I am servant of my country, I am servant of my husband, I am servant of my wife, I am servant of my dog or so many. This is forgetfulness. So how it has happened? Due to this body. Whole thing. Whole misconsciousness has come into existence due to this body.
|In the beginning, because we are accustomed to eat voraciously, so don't try to eat less artificially. You eat. But try to minimize it. Therefore there are prescription of fasting. At least two compulsory fastings in a month. And there are other fasting days. The more you can reduce your sleep and eating, you keep good health, especially for spiritual purposes. But not artificially. Not artificially. But when you advance, naturally you'll not feel, just like Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī.
|To fix up the mind means to keep your mind in Kṛṣṇa, then finished, all yoga. You are perfect yogi. You haven't got to do anything. Simply fix up your mind. Sa vai manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayor vacāṁsi vaikuṇṭha (SB 9.4.18) - if you talk, you talk of Kṛṣṇa. If you eat, eat of Kṛṣṇa. If you think, think of Kṛṣṇa. If you work, work for Kṛṣṇa. So in this way, this yoga practice will be perfect. Not otherwise. And that is the perfection of yoga. Devoid of all material desires.
|Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement does not say that artificially you simply make some renouncement, all nonsense. And to recompensate we take to some drugs, take to some intoxication, no. You take nice food. Kṛṣṇa has given nice food. Fruits, grains, milk, you can prepare hundreds and thousands of preparations nice with these foodgrains and we are doing that.
|Some yogi says that you stop yourself, make yourself motionless. How it is possible to make me motionless? I am moving spirit. This is not possible. Motionless means, when you are fixed up in Kṛṣṇa, there is no more material motion. That is motionless. This material propensities will not anymore disturb you. That is called motionless. But your motion for Kṛṣṇa activities will increase. The more you increase your motion or activities in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you become automatically motionless in material activities.
|Enjoyment cannot be alone. There must be two. Have you got any experience of enjoyment alone? No. So enjoyment alone is not possible. Enjoyment means two - Kṛṣṇa and you. The Supersoul and the individual soul. That is the way. You cannot enjoy alone, that is not your position.
|When you are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, your perfection is guaranteed. But you'll have patience, determination. That "I must execute. I should not be impatient." That impatience is due to loss of determination. And how that loss of determination is there? Due to excessive sex life. These are all consequences.
|Just see, a sparrow is trying to dry up the ocean. (laughs) This is called determination. Just like our Gandhi. He declared war against the Britishers. War is that non-violent, noncooperation. You see? But the determination was there. That "I must drive away the Britishers." And he did it.
|Devotee: Can we trust our own, our own rationalization? Can we trust our own self to try to determine how much…?
Prabhupāda: Well, that must be, rationalization must be there. But if you commit mistake, by taking less food, that mistake is not bad. (laughter) Don't be determined to take more. Suppose you have taken some food which is less than what you ought to take, so that mistake is not bad. But rather, if you take more, that mistake is bad.
|Those who are not married should contribute all their income to the temple. Those who are married should contribute 50%. That should be the principle of contribution of the members and followers of the Krishna Consciousness movement.
|I am pleased to note that your store, the Spiritual Sky, is doing successfully. Krishna has given you nice talent for doing business, and I am glad to see that you are using it well. There is no need for you to contribute to my book fund immediately if you are unable. Do it as it becomes convenient for you.
|Please let me know if Kamalasana arrives there in Sante Fe. He has left the temple here all of a sudden, and no one knows where he is. I am very much anxious for him, so please let me know if you have any word from him.
|My next program is to distribute at least 20,000 copies of Back To Godhead from four centers, namely New York, London, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. So each of these centers will contribute $750 and they will get 5,000 copies free delivery to destination. That means they will get the copies at 15 cents each, and the price fixed up will be 50 cents.
|The Bhagavata says that system of religion is the first class wherein love of Godhead is aroused spontaneously without any material impediment. So our movement gives practical proof that there is no impediment of body or mind. That is the proof it is enacted from the spiritual platform wherein there is no distinction of material higher or lower gradation. So we have to push our philosophy very nicely. This means we shall simply become sincere to Krishna and the teachings of the disciplic succession.
|Regarding the letter of credit, I beg to inform you that I have got good accounts in some of the very respectable banks in America in which there are branches in Calcutta. I am sending herewith one letter of declaration from the Bank of America as well as from the First National City Bank of America for your kind perusal.
|Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement does not say that artificially you simply make some renouncement, all nonsense. And to recompensate we take to some drugs, take to some intoxication, no. You take nice food. Kṛṣṇa has given nice food. Fruits, grains, milk, you can prepare hundreds and thousands of preparations nice with these foodgrains and we are doing that. Our purpose for inviting you in the love feast is that: replace Kṛṣṇa prasāda with your all nonsense foodstuff.
1970 - February 17
|Siddhantic conclusions are being mentioned in all my books, and the boys and girls in our Krsna Society should now give more attention for studying the books very attentively. And to get the strength, one should chant the beads sixteen rounds without fail.
|When the devotee is constantly engaged in Krsna Consciousness, at that time, Krsna will give all intelligence from within how to make steady progress in Krsna Consciousness.
|It is most essential that all the initiated devotees study our books and learn this philosophy very well. And to get the strength for understanding these, everyone must chant sixteen rounds of beads daily without fail. In this way, when the devotee is constantly engaged in Krsna Consciousness, following the regulative principles rigidly, Krsna will give all intelligence from within how to make steady progress in Krsna Consciousness.
|The potency of spreading Krsna Consciousness is everywhere the same. That was experimented by me in your country, where I came alone without any support; and Krsna is so kind that He has sent me so many boys and girls like you. Lord Caitanya said that every village and town on the surface of the world will know the message of the Sankirtana movement. This very statement affirms that in every village and town all over the world there are many candidates who are awaiting this message.
|Please therefore work very seriously. Chant your daily beads regularly. You have got a very nice devotee wife, she will help you in all respects. So try to follow the footsteps of the disciplic succession, and everything will come out successful.
1971 - February 17
|Humbler than the grass and tolerant more than the tree. We have to give all respect to everyone.
|All big, big yogis, there may be, but a person who is always absorbed in thought of Kṛṣṇa within himself, he is greater than all such big, big yogis. Greater than the greatest yogi. Yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gatenāntarātmanā. Mad-gata means his life is so molded that he cannot stay without thinking of Kṛṣṇa. Mad-gata. He has become absorbed. That is samādhi. Mad-gatenāntarātmanā śraddhāvān. Not for artificial makeshow, but śraddhāvān, with faith and love. Śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ sa me yuktatamo mataḥ.
|There are so-called mahatmas. They think that they are very much exalted, they do not require this sankirtanam. Sridhara Swami says that this sankirtana movement is not only for the persons who are sinful, but mahatam api.
|They're one and the same. It is the process of realization only, that somebody is realizing the Absolute Truth as imperson and somebody is realizing the Absolute Truth as all-pervading Paramātmā, Antaryami, and some persons are realizing the Absolute Truth as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. But they are advaya-jñāna, identical, the same thing. It is our power of perception only that makes the difference. The object is the same.
|I'll tell you another story about Mahatma Gandhi. My Guru Maharaja invited him in our matha, Mahatma Gandhi. So Mahatma Gandhi inquired... The, my godbrothers went to invite him. "What you are doing in your maṭha?" They replied that "We are worshiping Lord Kṛṣṇa." So he inquired, "Are you pulling on charka?" They said, "No sir," He said, "Charka is my God. If there is no charka, I am not going there." He said like that.
|Don't talk nonsense. If you are so much addicted to sleeping, you simply chant sixteen rounds and whole day sleep. But don't take food also. Don't get up taking prasādam. "Now I have to honor prasādam. Let me eat sumptuous, then again sleep more."
|That's all right. If you cannot do anything else, you simply chant sixteen rounds, take prasādam, and sleep. (laughter) It is special prerogative for you. There is no then. This is, this is order for you.
1972 - February 17
1973 - February 17
|This Krsna consciousness movement means we are preaching the cult of Bhagavatam. It is a scientific method.
|I am glad to hear that you are opening another workshop in Kauai for the manufacturing of the Gaura-Nitai Deities and this is a very great service to our society and devotees. But one thing. You should always inform me before sending the Deities to the Temples. We cannot send them indiscriminately to anyone who has the whim of worshiping the Deities. We must be very very careful as to not commit offenses in worshiping the Deities, so therefore there must be sufficient facilities and Brahmins to worship the Deity.
|It was brought to my attention that our Sriman Hayagriva das has become deviated from the four basic principles which I have given to all my students for adherence to when they are first initiated. I do not know why he is living in such a way but I feel that he must be brought back to the standard immediately. So I am requesting you as my Governing Board Commissioners to help me bring him back to the standard. He has very good talent, but he is spending it by living such an unrestricted life.
|I am requesting you as my Governing Board Commissioners to help me bring him back to the standard. He has very good talent, but he is spending it by living such an unrestricted life.

|The sound is not only in the ether, but sound is on the air. The sound is in the fire, the sound is also in the water, and sound is also on the land. So the basic principle of santa-rasa is there.
1975 - February 17
|Similarly, God is also present. He spreads heat and light, and therefore we find so many varieties of manifestation. Just like... This example is very perfect: just like the light is here, it is localized, but it is spreading its illumination all over this room.
|Regarding the dance troupe, I request you to prepare 7 different dances (a new one each day) from the Caitanya Caritamrta for displaying and performing during the Mayapur festival.
1976 - February 17
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
|"One should not be falsely proud. Everyone... Material world means everyone is falsely proud. Everyone is thinking, āḍhyo 'smi dhanavān asmi ko 'sti mama samaḥ. Everyone. This is the disease. 'I am the richest', 'I am the powerful', 'I am the very intelligent'. Everything, 'I am'. This is called ahaṅkāra. Ahaṅkāra vimudhātmā kartāham iti manyate (BG 3.27). This false prestige, when one is absorbed with false things, he becomes vimūḍha, rascal. Ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate. This is false prestige. We have to give up this false prestige."
|760217 - Lecture SB 07.09.10 - Mayapur
|This is Prahlada Maharaja's instruction, that don't be falsely proud unless you have got the qualification. That is our mistake, dambha, dambha. And the pure life begins when we give up dambha, false prestige.
|Regarding your questions, matter originally is spirit and when spirit is not distinctly understood, that is matter. Just like a tree is also a manifestation of spirit soul, but the consciousness is covered. When the tree is cut, it does not protest. But the moving entity has stronger consciousness than the tree. There is consciousness in the tree though. Also consciousness in a dormant state is matter; consciousness in a completely developed state is spirit. Matter is the symbol of undeveloped consciousness.
|My advise is always chant 16 rounds minimum and follow the four regulative principles. All of my disciples must agree on this point otherwise they are not my disciples. Let one live anywhere, but stick to the principles. Disagreements will continue in this material world. So one may live in a suitable place, but one must follow these five principles. My disciples must follow these principles living either in heaven or hell.
|Thank you for the nice sentiments expressed therein. Go on chanting and reading our books, and gradually you will advance in Krishna Consciousness.
1977 - February 17
|Even in our so-called Vedic Ārya-samājī, they assert that God cannot take incarnation. Why? If God is all-powerful, then why He shall not be able to accept incarnation? Therefore we should not take lessons of God from these rascals. We should take lessons of God from śāstra, from guru and from sādhu—one who has seen God, tattva-darśina. Tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā, upadekṣyanti tad jñānam (BG 4.34). Tad jñānam means spiritual knowledge.
|Prahlāda Mahārāja, being very exalted devotee, he could appease the Lord. Bhaktyā, by bhakti, you can control the Supreme Lord. That is the only way. Bhaktyā maṁ abhijānāti. The understanding is also through bhakti, and through bhakti you can control God. Vedeṣu durlabham adurlabha ātmā-bhaktau. You cannot understand God by studying Vedas. Vedeṣu durlabham adurlabha ātmā-bhaktau. But for His devotees, He is very, very easily available. Therefore bhakti is the only source.
|Apart from the scriptural injunction, if one comes to the argument, then such kind of father is there in the animal society also. Cats and dogs, they also beget children, but they cannot relieve the child from the cycle of birth and death. And Bhagavad-gītā says, janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam. First of all you have to see what is the actual distress in this material life. Janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi. Tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ. So in this life you are my father, and next time I become a cat or dog, so who cares for this father?
|Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda? Sometimes we find a dilemma in preaching, in the sense that if we preach very vigorously we invoke the attention of the authorities. That is to say, if we were to preach a little less vigorously, there might be less objection, but then again there would be the less benefit because we would not be preaching as vigorously. It's very hard to know sometimes just how forcefully to preach.
Prabhupāda: No, we are not to satisfy the authorities. We have to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. Just like Arjuna. He wanted to satisfy his family members, but Kṛṣṇa did not like that.
|Please supply me the following BBT information: 1) What amount of order is the Vrinda Book Co. giving monthly, and 2) how much are they paying monthly. What happened to the advertisement?
|Regarding whether to follow Tamal Krsna Goswami and work at architecture and mechanical plans in the Pennsylvania farm or to come and work in the same way with Saurabha in India, now Tamal Krsna himself is in India. So you can also come to India and work with both of them.

So, what's my point? Why am I blathering on about hours of practice?
I have decided to set myself a challenge.
I have been sewing, on and off, for about 2 and a half years now. I am definitely a better sewist than when I started but I want to increase my progress speed, I want to get just that little bit closer to 'mastery'. With this goal in mind I am taking a small amount of inspiration from the 10,000 hours theory (1% to be precise) and will be endeavoring to sew for 100 hours in 100 days!
It's no mean feat and requires an average of an hour a days sewing (a lot more than I do now) but the entire point of this challenge is to push my sewing self (and spend fewer evening watching back to back episodes of 24) and increase my sewing skills.
I will be tracking my progress here, posting all my makes and hoping that a few of you might join me, or indeed help cheer me on!
A challenge like this wouldn't be complete without a few
1. Sew for 100 hours over 100 days (obviously)
2. "Sewing" refers to nearly all the processes of creating a garment, including pattern alterations and cutting fabric but not assembling PDF patterns or tracing patterns.
3. Work on one project/garment at a time.
And that's it. Keeping it simple.
The 100 days kick off today and I'm aiming to be finished on Monday 1st December.
(I know this date is more than 100 hundred days from the start date but I have 2 one week holidays scheduled during which I will not be able to sew!).
Does anyone want to join me? I'd love some company, whether you start with me today or set your own time frame. All good challenges have a blog button so you can grab one below whether you're joining in or cheering us along!
Have you set yourself any sewing challenges lately? How many hours do you think you've spent sewing?

Murawinski sparks Jefferson upset

KINNELON _ As a libero, kills aren't Kayla Scherlacher's specialty.
Scherlacher typically spends her time in the back of the court accumulating digs for Jefferson so, when she records a kill, like the one she had late in the second game of the Falcons' match versus Kinnelon, it's cause for major excitement.
"Someone was up in the air and I got the third hit," said the 5-foot-2 Scherlacher, whose rare kill accompanied 10 digs. "That was nice."
Even better was the end result - fifth-seeded Jefferson's 25-20, 25-21 defeat of the No. 4 Colts in Morris County Tournament quarterfinal action on Saturday, Oct. 17.
The Falcons (14-3) beat Kinnelon for the first time in the history of their program, setting off a spirited celebration. The upset earned them a berth opposite West Morris, the No. 1 seed.
"Kinnelon's always had our number," Jefferson coach Marc Gaydos said. "They've been one step ahead. We make too many errors sometimes. We eliminated them today. We played Kinnelon tough and got them out of their game. It was a great all-around effort."
Scherlacher said the win was for the seniors and noted that it was "a great feeling."
One of those two seniors, middle hitter Julia Murawinski, was exceptional with 15 kills, eight aces and three digs. Murawsinki, whose six consecutive aces highlighted the first set, was overcome with emotion. It was understandable, considering how many losses to Kinnelon (16-3) she has experienced.
"This means so much in so many ways," Murawinski said. "We have never, ever, never beaten them. Kinnelon is very well put together and well coached. We clicked. We've been slacking a bit lately. We don't play well until it's too late then we can't recover."
Murawinski noted that the Falcons didn't succumb or drop their level of play after falling behind in the first game. They just got the job done with the 6-foot-2 Murawinski, also a standout in basketball, dominating.
"I was very nervous coming into this match," Murawinski said. "My legs were shaking during warmups. I had butterflies. I'm usually not nervous but I was scared because of all of the losses. I still felt like we'd show up this time and we did."
The second set was tight. Beginning with 10-10, the score was tied eight times. Once again, Jefferson remained composed. The last deadlock was 20-20. The Falcons then reeled off four points in a row. For 23-20, sophomore opposite Katie DeBell sent a well-placed kill, one of her four, to the sideline. Murawinski scored the decisive point with a kill.
Gaydos moved Schyler White, normally an outside hitter, to middle hitter. The strategy proved beneficial. White had three digs, five kills and two aces.
"It gave us a power swing from Julia," Gaydos said. "She's always in the back. Putting Schyler at the middle position gave us an extra hit."
Jordan Rock, the Falcons' setter, contributed 19 assists. For Kinnelon, Taylor Rosenberg had 16 assists, Meg Andersen had six kills and Anna Tiajoloff ended with five kills and three digs.
The approach Scherlacher takes when playing libero applied to the entire Jefferson team on Saturday.
"I give all I've got," she said. "I try to stay strong. I'm focused. I don't want to let the ball drop. If you keep that mindset, nothing will stop you."

Almost no one except Kenney and Kearby's boys thought the P-47 would do well in combat. Kenney surreptitiously arranged a mock combat between Kearby and an experienced P-38 group commander. Kearby won hands down, but the Jug could not be sent into action in that theater of vast open-water distances until its range was extended by drop tanks. Kenney had them manufactured in Australia. The 348th was moved up to Port Moresby, New Guinea, but saw no combat until Aug. 16, after the tanks arrived.
Neel Kearby scored his first two victories--a bomber and a fighter--on Sept. 4, followed by a single 11 days later. Then, on Oct. 11, came a combat that, up to that time, set him apart from all other American aces.
Kearby was leading a flight of four P-47s on a reconnaissance sweep in the Wewak area, about 450 miles northwest of Port Moresby. Shark-infested waters lay on one side and jungle on the other, peopled by enemy troops and natives of questionable appetite. In his flight were Capt. Bill Dunham, who ended the war with 16 victories; Capt. John T. Moore, a seven-victory ace; and Maj. Raymond Gallagher. Kearby sighted a Japanese fighter below them at about 20,000 feet. Diving on the Zeke from seven O'clock, Kearby fired at 1,500 feet, sending the enemy flaming into the sea.
Kearby took his flight back up to 26,000 feet. In the nearly cloudless sky below, the flight spotted 12 bombers at 5,000 feet escorted by 36 fighters. With the numerical odds only 12 to one--not bad in Kearby's estimation--he gave the signal to attack. In the space of a few seconds. Kearby shot down one Zeke and two Hamps while Dunham and Moore each got one Tony.
With the element of surprise gone, Kearby climbed to 20,000 feet, intending to call the flight together and head for home. Then he saw one of his P-47s below with two Tonys on its tail. Diving at 400 miles an hour, Kearby shot down both Tonys. Dunham and Moore, who had become separated from Kearby in the battle, saw him fighting six more Tonys, one of which Kearby probably downed. Unfortunately, his gun camera ran out of film after showing hits on the enemy fighter.
With six confirmed and one probable, an American record for a single engagement, Kearby assembled his flight and led them to an emergency field at Lae, where they landed with less than 75 gallons in their tanks.
Generals MacArthur and Kenney immediately recommended Kearby for the Medal of Honor. When it was presented by MacArthur early in January 1944, Kearby had 19 confirmed victories and was tied with Dick Bong for the lead. Kenney advised Kearby not to get in a race with Richard I. Bong, who was soon to return from leave in the States, but to be satisfied with one enemy plane in each engagement. Kearby agreed that that was good advice, but it didn't fit his goal of 50 victories before he went home.
When Bong returned a few days later, he ran his score up to 21. Kearby, with two confirmed on Jan. 9, again tied Bong, and there things stood until March 5, when Kearby, accompanied by Maj. Sam Blair and Dunham, decided to break the tie.
On the way to Wewak, always a good hunting ground, they picked up a formation of 15 Japanese aircraft. Kearby got one on his first pass and then, against General Kenney's advice, climbed back to shoot down at least one more. This time, three enemy fighters latched on to his tail. Dunham and Blair each got one of Kearby's assailants, but the third put a burst into Kearby's cockpit from close range before Dunham blew him apart. Kearby's P-47 went straight into the jungle. There was no parachute.
As with several other great fighter pilots, the drive to excel that made Kearby a leading ace of World War II was also his undoing. He was a superb pilot and shot, a great tactician, an outstanding combat leader, and a fierce competitor.
Eighteen months later, when the war ended, only three Pacific aces, all with many months of combat, had more kills than Kearby had scored in six months. He lived on the razor's edge, but those months of eagerly sought combat left for the men who followed a spirit and a tradition that made victory in the Pacific inevitable.

Nickelodeon Launches 'Slimefest!'
Nickelodeon is set to combine music, stars, stunts and their trademark slime into one huge new event this year – 'Slimefest!'
Kicking off on September 15 at Sydney's Hordern Pavillion, 'Slimefest' is Australia's first music festival created especially for tweens - and so far some huge Aussie acts including Jessica Mauboy, Reece Mastin and Justice Crew have been signed up to perform!
Also taking to the stage will be 'Australian Idol' winner Stan Walker and 'Dancing With The Stars' alum Johnny Ruffo.
"There's all these festivals out there but there are certain age limits, so this one is for them," Jessica told The Hot Hits.
Meanwhile, it seems Johnny's keen to get slimed at the bash, adding,
"That's a big advantage this festival will have - you don't get slimed at the other festivals. I'm just hoping it's lime or apple-flavoured."
"Fans of the Australian KCAs [Kids' Choice Awards] can expect SLIMEFEST to be a next-level concert experience, injected with spectacular slime stunts," Ben Richardson, General Manager of Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand, said in an official statement.
"It will be an event that kids and tweens all over Australia will want to be part of, and we'll be making sure they can, no matter where they are. We're planning audience participation in the arena as well as fan integration into the show through social media…Of course we will also be giving the show a national broadcast, extending the excitement to kids and tweens at home"
Tickets for the 5pm show go on sale Friday July 27 via Ticketek!

Sage Grouse: Here are some differences between edX and WUaS, many having to do with C.C. licensing, WUaS's free, university degrees as well as WUaS's all languages and all countries' foci, "Stanford University to collaborate with edX on development of non-profit open-source edX platform" - MIT News Office
Hi R,
Thanks for this article "Stanford University to collaborate with edX on development of non-profit open-source edX platform" - MIT News Office - http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/stanford-to-collaborate-on-edx-platform-0403.html - exciting, and I hadn't heard about this.
Here are some differences between edX and WUaS, many having to do with C.C. licensing, WUaS's free, university degrees as well as WUaS's all languages and all countries' foci:
World University and School is Creative Commons' licensed (C.C.) and planning to accredit on MIT OpenCourseWare, which is also Creative Commons' licensed, to offer free, online, MIT OCW-centric, university degrees, and in many countries and languages, none of which I've heard about vis-a-vis edX or Stanford's Coursera (but they've both got the money so far, and WUaS doesn't), with both MIT and Harvard pledging $30 million each to edX.
edX is also networking with about 10 universities presently (see the list in the article), and WUaS would like to become the online MIT / Harvard of the internet in all languages and countries, as wiki (editable web pages; Wikipedia is in 285 languages), while remaining C.C. MIT-centric, (and C.C Yale-centric), and eventually these great universities - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#University_course_listings - which I think attract more overachievers than edX does / will.
I'll add this article you sent to the MIT wiki page at WUaS ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology_-_MIT.
And WUaS is Quaker-informed, in its monthly business meetings, as well as in some wiki pages, - and will be potentially in its hiring practices (in addition to being great university-informed).
Friendly regards,
Hi, R,
As a follow on, this MIT article - http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2013/stanford-to-collaborate-on-edx-platform-0403.html#.UV0SWa7W1T0.gmail - seems to have changed between the first time I looked at it and the second time, omitting the names of the universities with which edX is partnering in the second version. But you can see the universities edX is partnering with here - https://www.edx.org/.
What's great about this edX endeavor per this article, however, is also that the information technologies they are using are Open Source and free, and WUaS may be able to engage them to make the MIT OCW video and audio - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/ - that WUaS is planning to accredit on, more generative and even fun.

(from my colleague Dr. Win Thin)
Mexico reports mid-March CPI Monday. The headline rate is seen falling to 3.91% y/y from 4.21% in mid-February, while the core rate is seen falling to 2.89% from 2.98% in mid-February. The central bank kept rates steady at 3.5% on Friday, as expected. However, the accompanying statement was very dovish, focusing on a weak growth outlook and seeing little in the way of lasting price pressures. Bottom line, steady rates there for the time being but the emphasis on the poor growth outlook suggests risks are tilted to the next move being a cut, not a hike. On Thursday, it reports February trade. For USD/MXN, support seen near 13.20 and then 13.00, while resistance seen near 13.40 and then 13.60.
South Africa central bank meets Thursday and is expected to keep rates steady at 5.5%. Earlier that day, it reports February PPI and is expected to rise 7.3% y/y vs. 7.0% in January. CPI rose 5.9% in February, just below the 6% ceiling of the target band. However, given the weak state of the economy, we do not expect a policy response anytime soon. On Friday, South Africa reports February budget data. For USD/ZAR, support seen near 10.50, while resistance seen near 11.00.
Brazil reports March IGP-M inflation on Friday and is expected to rise 1.53% m/m. Second preview IGP-M reading was higher than expected at 1.4% m/m, which if sustained will push the y/y rate up past 7%. COPOM next meets April 2, and expectations are for a 25 bp hike to 11%. We think the central bank would like to stop there, but the worsening inflation backdrop complicates things. February budget data is also out on Friday, with the primary balance expected at -BRL400 mln vs. BRL19.9 bln in January. We expect worsening budget readings ahead of the October elections. For USD/BRL, support seen near 2.30, while resistance seen near 2.35 and then 2.40.
Chile releases central bank minutes on Friday. Central bank President Vergara said last week that it maintains an easing bias, but that the bias has moderated. In other words, after 25 bp rate cuts for two straight months and in four of the past six, the pace of easing is likely to slow. He added that the bank is not worried about the recent pickup in inflation, which is seen as transitory. Next meeting is April 17, and we think it may stand pat then to see how the economy is reacting to previous rate cuts. For USD/CLP, support seen near 560 and then 540, while resistance seen near 580 and then 600.

Market Fun
I love that place.
I could have taken more photos, but I was busy shopping.
So perhaps next time.
It wasn't as cold as one would think because oddly enough our temps got up to 42 degrees that day, so we were quite comfortable.
But even in the colder weather they have blowers sending hot air around to various spots throughout the market - both in the "shed" and also outdoors under the overhang.
The market is shaped like a large horseshoe, and then there are open areas on the end where some food vendors and other produce vendors are selling their wares, as well as some food carts. In the shed which has people with reserved spots such as some butchers, some farmers selling beef and poultry, the Pierogie Guy, Pappardelle's pasta, the Hanzlian sausage guys, and the list goes on.
I stopped to get some sausage from the sausage guys, and after trying a sample (who doesn't love a free sample?) the guy was trying to tell me about their different sausages.
I said to him, "You don't have to sell me on how good your sausage is. I've had it before, and I want some more now."
They do make some amazing sausage.
Right next to him was the indoor stand for Juan and Maria's Empanadas. They have a permanent stand outdoors too, but the inside one was new.
And who was working it? Why, Juan himself.
There he is on the right. I guess you could tell because his shirt reads, "Juan."
Very nice guy, and we just absolutely love their empanadas. (He's originally from Chile, in case you're wondering, but as a Rochester resident he and his wife is very involved in the community here.)
We each had a breakfast empanada, and the baby girl enjoyed hers with some Spanish mayonnaise.
You know she just loves having her picture taken while she's eating.
That's the thing about the Public Market, it's more of an experience than a shopping expedition.
There are buskers and wineries, handbags and 50 pound bags of potatoes for $10-$11 (seriously), and so much more.
Here's a guy playing his accordion outside:
And here's a bread stand (I bought some of the garlic chèvre at the end on the right - beyond delicious):
We don't go every weekend, but even in the winter there is still fresh produce, as well as some produce that you know is coming from, well, somewhere else. Honestly, we don't grow mangoes in Rochester. In the summertime I make it a point to buy only local produce and support local farmers.
It's the least I can do - but it's something we all should do.
Next time we go I'll try to take more pictures because who doesn't like to see 50 pound bags of onions, I ask you.

This is making the rounds today: The body in an Etruscan tomb that had a spear turns out to gave been a woman. Also, the other body with the jewelry turns out to have been a man.
A bit of background: The Etruscans were the major civilization on the Italian peninsula preceding the Romans. The Romans borrowed heavily from them, and in fact the Etruscans may have been the ones who founded the city of Rome. It's all a little hard to tell for several reasons, primarily due to the fact that the Romans so overshadowed them that we have almost no written Etruscan records, beyond a bunch of grave inscriptions. The other records are paltry. The entire body of Etruscan words that aren't simple tomb inscriptions is probably not much more than the size of this blog post.
That's far too small for us to learn the Etruscan language, especially since it seems to be part of a tiny family of languages that aren't related to anything else we've found. So we have a tiny amount of written text for a language with a handful of also-poorly-understood relatives. And even if we could read it, there is only a tiny amount we could possibly learn from it because, well, the amount of text is tiny.
What we mostly have is a decently large collection of graves. So when one of them throws up a surprise, we don't know how to interpret it.
The Etruscans had a much more woman-friendly society than the Greeks or Romans. Women seemed to have been valued as family members, active in the community, and had a place at the head of the family. Of course the Greeks and Romans saw women in the public sphere and assumed they were loose, slutty, emasculating, horny, and, well, let's excuse them as they head of to the privy for some rather physical forms of imagination. It's what happens when people who control women and their sexuality through isolation see less suppressed women.
But even taking that relative openness to women, nobody had expected that it extended to warrior women who would be buried with spears.
So that's interesting.
It's also probably generated more posts with pictures of Xena than has been produced in years, so there's that upside as well.
But again, because we know so little, we don't know how to interpret this. Except for one thing:
We are prisoners of our expectations.
Because the archaeologists did assume that the spear-bearer was male and the jewelry-box-holder was female. As would, I suspect, almost any of us. Even if we think we are getting better at being open about gender, gender roles, etc., we certainly don't expect ancient peoples to be. We think this is truly modern and sophisticated of us.
And in any case, the odds were certainly with the archaeologists on this one. The skeletons were in a bad state to make an easy visual assignment. Kudos to them, in fact, for double checking.
But I have to say, ever since I read about this, one thought keeps popping up in the back of my thinking, waving for my attention. So since this is my blog, and I get to give attention to whatever I want, here, thought, is your moment of attention:
What if it was a screwup?
What if, for example, the people placing the bodies in the tombs put the them on the opposite platforms than intended? If the bodies were wrapped, the people placing the grave goods might not know which was which. Or maybe someone purposefully swapped them out of spite, hoping it would fuck up their afterlife.
It would be amazingly interesting if the Etruscans were cool with transgendered people, or women in non-traditional roles, or (glory be!) both. But we often forget that people in the past were as clever and smart as we are. And, as we are, they were subject to error and spite, either of which might account for this discrepancy.
At the current rate of progress I don't expect to live to see anything like enough information uncovered to resolve this. Maybe we will discover the tomb an Etruscan bibliophile who was actually buried with enough documents to open up the language; that would be cool. Or maybe we'll re-examine existing tombs to discover this is common, and we'll have to rethink how we look at the Etruscan culture; that would be very cool. But I'm thinking this is more likely to just simmer along unsolved for a very long time, and we will, instead, have to turn our attention to our actual problems. Which would be sad, because right now a lot of our problems totally suck, and a little escape in time would be nice.

Grow aloe vera plants by providing full sun, a warm climate, good drainage and sand or gravel mixed with compost as the growing material. Use aloe vera plants to heal wounds and burns with information from a sustainable gardener in this free video on gardening.
Hi this is Yolanda Vanveen and in this segment we are going to talk all about aloe vera growing tips. Now aloe vera is a beautiful plant and it looks like a succulent and it has a nice sword shaped little leaves and it actually has a beautiful bloom that looks lot like a red hot poker and they are all related and actually aloe vera is related to lilies and onions more than any other plant is. It is actually considered a vegetable if you can believe that and it is grown all over the world mostly for medicinal uses because if you burn yourself or you have kind of a rash or dry skin all you have to do is cut a little part of that aloe vera leaf off and it will ooze out this ointment and you just rub out that ointment on your skin and it will heal pretty much any type of cuts that you have or burns. It is a wonderful plant and in many cultures it is used internally as well. But you have to be careful too because too much can be poisonous but it does clear out your system and it heals any type of skin ailments and aloe vera love full hot sun and like other succulents they do want water but they want to dry out in between so you never want to keep them too wet because they will actually rot. They make a great house plant or if you live in a warm climate you can throw them outside year round and even if you live in a cold climate you can leave them in a container outside and then bring them inside for the Winter but aloe vera are an easy plant to grow. Just give them full sun, good drainage. If you have got sand or rock or gravel with just a little bit of compost they do like that good airy compost desert type condition and you will find that you can grow aloe vera very easily.

Summer conventions and mid-year conferences are just around the corner. These meetings inspire me, and I'm always amazed to witness just how much effort and self-sacrifice volunteer leaders are willing to invest on behalf of their industry and other producers.
Some of these leaders are created out of necessity. If you run cattle on public lands, ranch in an area under threat as habitat for a protected species, or find yourself in the crosshairs of EPA or some other regulatory agency, your survival could be at stake. This forces many producers to get involved and active, and they recognize there is strength in numbers that speak with a unified voice.
A majority of these volunteer leaders, however, get involved because they want to help and to give back. And then there is the financial support provided by many producers who, for whatever reason, can't devote as much personal time but support the effort by writing sizable checks every year to underwrite the process. Yes, both volunteer effort and money are critical to the fight, and I'd be hard pressed to say which is more crucial.
On the other side of the equation, unfortunately, are those who don't do either – they choose to neither volunteer time nor money, and just count on the fact that others who do will take care of them.

So we end up with two classes of producers. There are those relatively few who expend precious time and resources for the benefit of their industry. And then there's the majority who reap the benefits but don't bear any burden or cost. This is a decision every rancher faces – how much time and resources does one invest in the industry vs. their own personal operation? After all, the two things that are finite on any operation are time and dollars.
I think we all need to keep in mind the tremendous range of issues that our industry must deal with on a daily basis. Without the industry volunteers and dedicated staffs and associations who work on our industry's behalf, I can't help but think we would have been regulated or legislated out of business a long time ago.
I think it's easy to do the math, and the checkoff provides a great example. For every dollar invested, the industry has gained about $6 back. And I'll never forget a comment made to me by one industry leader in Iowa after the heroic response that the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) had planned and implemented after the outbreak of BSE in 2003. That plan literally kept the U.S. industry from suffering the kind of collapse that decimated other countries' beef industries upon the discovery of BSE. This producer told me that the response to BSE alone repaid every dollar he had ever spent or would spend with NCBA, and he considered all the other issues NCBA was working as just icing on the cake.
I think many producers ponder the question of how much time they can afford to spend working on improving the overall industry environment vs. working on the individual operation. I think the real question isn't how much I can afford to invest in the industry, but whether I'm willing to run the risk of not investing in the future of my industry? That's why I love these meetings, because they're usually stocked with people who have decided to put the industry first, and have figured out that it's an investment that pays.

So, it's December?
When did that happen? I only just took the lights out of the garden and its time to put them back?
Do people spend a lot of time thinking up good tag lines?
So, it's December?
When did that happen? I only just took the lights out of the garden and its time to put them back?
After getting back into home brew, it's time to have a crack at an all grain recipe. SMaSH and all that. Aiming for a pale ale. Something really simple because I just want to concentrate on doing it, not on technique.
Very happy to have seen kits-and-bits make stuff way better than what I used to make in the early nineties. I'll wonder if I can get my dad back into small batch brewing this way…
Celebrating by cooking duck and cleaning the kitchen. That's the spirit.
Having gone away before twelfth night, and then straight back to school and work on our return, the decorations did rather tend to stay up a long while.
Now, I just have an empty space in the living room.
Yup. Charcoal cooked snapper, Sarawak style. Big advantage of Malaysian in laws.
I seem to have accidentally kept my falcon. Oh dear. Three cars. That wasn't the plan. My Dec 99 AU may be an example of 'survivor bias', but it still is a very reliable and comfortable tourer. Though it has been down graded to beach car – partly because modern cars don't have keys. Only weird battery operated fobs. Ever tried surfing with one of these? I never feel comfortable leaving the 'keys' in a bag on the sand. I'd much rather have the key tucked safely in my leg rope pocket.
Oh well, time for a beer.
Because it's good.
Too late to found a successful start up. A quiet beer while the BBQ gets up to temperature is the next best thing.
A well earned beer while the BBQ fires up. Waaaay too much gardening done. But then, I wanted a yard…
The falcon seems to be accepting its new role of trophy car. It's not been the daily driver for six months now. Instead, a sort of project car, sadly lacking skills from me though.
Given it is worth less than a set of tyres, and much less than the annual on road costs, I know it makes no sense to keep it. It's not a V8, or even a turbo six. Plain jane interior that needs a new headliner. Any money spent is crazy. Still, it was our car for nearly twenty years. Took us to our wedding, birth of our daughter and all the other stuff of life.
500,000 km down. These were always strong cars. Let down by terrible interiors. I blame the fleet buyers. Oh well. Sunset was pretty.
With the light behind her, she could pass for someone half her age.
…the rules, so I find it weird watching a bunch of seven year olds play minecraft in the park.
Let the pointless cat photos flow!
When they are babies, what great models. But then what choice do they have?
Now at nearly eight, Amelia is off playing with friends. Not posing. And not easy to get candids of at the park.
I guess I'll have to turn to macro, or nature/landscaper now.
