Night flyfishing strategies
Although I have experienced some of my largest stripers at night, I tend to go to the halogen lights after dark -or- fish the twilight times mostly. I know this is unwise, but it helps keep my family life in order. We are all typically down the cape together each weekend. Shopping, go carts and minature golf is hard enough as it is without doing it with no sleep
This season I am going to fish more at night because for the last couple of years I haven't really learned anything new about night fishing... except that Squetague are back on Nantucket sound, and I need to add shrimp flies to my box.
I think it would be very useful and informative for us to start a night fishing project this year, to try things out (colors, disruption of surface, speed, tides, locations, etc) and log them for members to learn from and try themselves.
Any takers?
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Good idea. I've posted questions on various other boards without getting much information. Everyone has a different opinion on what works at night, myself included.
A great deal of my fishing is done from 7pm to 8am and it's partly because my son goes to bed around 7 and wakes up just before 8. It's also because I've had a great deal of luck at night. My biggest bass and blues have been taken at night along South Cape, Popponesset,Cotuit, and Plum Island.
I'd say it's worthy of a project log but definitely not it's own bulletin board. The results would be interesting and I'm sure helpful to all.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
I've always viewed FF at night to be like fishing during the winter. Not supposed to be done. But I'm willing to learn. First and formost to me are the safety issues. Safety glasses? What kinds work best? Wading? How about landing big fish on a jetty with pounding surf? It must take a while to get comfortable. Maybe the best thing to do is start with a spot that you know really well. That eliminates a lot of variables. You will know where the structure is to cast to at least.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Not supposed to be done? Don't let Stetzko read this, he believes he'll be turned to a pillar of salt if he ever wets a line in daylight.
I learned SWFF at night, for the same family reasons noted above. [Once the kids are asleep, my time is my own.] And the halogen light thing, well, it's not exactly cricket. I do have a collection of lighted docks and bridges that draw bait and schoolies, and I do visit them when I need a fix, but real nighttime striper fishing happens in real striper environments where there are no lighting fixtures.
When it's too dark to see your casts, you have to learn to cast by timing and by feeling the rod load, which is not a bad thing. Also, since the casts unroll only in your mind they can all be crisp 80-footers.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
And a hearty welcome to the night stalker himself! (When I get to the beach during the wee hours, Mike's just leaving)
Per your comment about Tony, he often says "they only come out at night". A subtle comment but coming from him I don't take it lightly. Those backside boys know where it's at. There's a great BB developing out there on the former tip-of-the-cape site, best info on the outer cape beaches as far as I can see.
> Halogens
Yes, I admit I have been wussing out in the lights. I have been pleased to find full scale day-time like blitzes under the lights though, which didn't bother me at all.
You're right though, the partial moon, beasts sloshing in the water not ten feet in front of you and dark shadows hunting the waters edge - true night fishing.
If everyone doesn't mind sharing their findings, I'd sure like to log our observations into one pile so we can all learn from each other's mistakes and successes during our quest to compile night fishing knowledge.
Terry - I always cast with the wind coming off the rod shoulder, which makes it nearly impossible to hook myself given a reasonably consistent stroke. It seems strange to cast at night at first, but after a while the mystery of it adds to the fun. Talk about tuning into the retrieve... sometimes I don't even realize that the leader is in the guides. When a fish takes, your hair stands on end! My son said after his first deep night SWFF outing with me... "I thought the night was a scary thing but I see that it's really nice out here after dark". It was a calm summer night with a light cooling breeze and a 3/4 moon, the flood tide was gently lapping the shoreline. We caught a couple of schoolies and went back to the cottage before it got too late.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Two of my most memorable fishing experiences took place at night. Once fishing the confluence of the North & South rivers in Marshfield, schoolies bumping into my waders, 25 -30 ft casts with dead drift along the channel edge with hookups every other cast, the moonlight over the marshes towards Scituate. 5 years ago and I can still see every detail.
The other was the opening night of the MV Derby. I was on the 'rock' for 5 days fishing solo. The weather had been crappy but I'd still had some fun. Started the night fishing bait(yes, it was that long ago!)at the State Beach and scoring big on dogfish and skates. Went to South beach to find the derby partygoers with the beach lit up with lanterns and boom boxes. Walked as far as I could to avoid the crowds and spent 2-1/2 hours with my rod bent double the whole time. Best fish nearly scared me to death when I finally surfed it up onto the sand. Nearly drowned trying to revive her in the waves.... Got back to the cottage as the sun was coming up, soaked from head to toe and shaking from the adrenelain.
Hmm, I guess I'm interested in learning more about running the night train...
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Awesome accounts Bob - I had a similar night on the North River estuary. We took a skiff down with a 6hp motor and could not get back to Mary's until the tide loosened up. As the tide started to flood, the whole place went out of control with pogies, bass and blues in the pitch dark. We ended up with all blues that night but we figured some of those big pops and poomps had to be linesiders. Got back to the dock around midnight, navigating by sense of smell.
Yup - I am definitely ready for spring!
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Al Deluca has just informed me that Tony has an article up on "On the Water" on this very topic! He says it's very well done, I'll be checking it out first thing tomorrow AM.
I bet there's enough there to get us all going on the night scene.
Congrats Tony!
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Of all the types of fishing I do, my definitely weakest area would have to be night fishing--true night, say between 11:00 and 3:30 when there is not even a hint of sunlight. This is partly due to the lack of hours spent, but I have done my share of all-nighters, usually with little success.
Before it became illegal, my buddies and I used to camp out on the spit at the North River a couple times a summer. I used to clean up at first light, but in the dead of night I always struck out. 4:00-6:00 a.m. have always been the magical hours for me.
Maybe the campfire and flask of whisky are the real culprits to my poor night time track record?
In any event, I could stand to benefit from more hours logged and some shared night time knowledge.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Stripers aren't the only things that come out at night.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
There's only one solution to increasing the abilities of the sunburned day fishers - a night clave.
I think around 5% of my fishing last year was in the day.
But what have I learned at night?
1. Start fishing right at the waters edge.
2. In the words of a buddy, "It doesn't matter what color fly you use, as long as it's black." This holds true about 75% of the time.
3. Sound casting (instead of sight casting) can be zen like - grasshopper.
4. I think I cast better at night. Maybe it's just because I can't see that I'm not throwing the line that far...
5. No jetskis
Let's put together a plan Friday night for a night time schoolie outing, I have a spot that could handle about 5 rods.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Steve - That weren't no bluefish.... where were you? I'd love to hear the story behind that. The anglers face says it all!
I had a huge bass trail a snapper blue that hit my foam banger fly last June off the south side of the Cape. I found myself "livelining" to see what would happen. The fish was wiser than I and swam off without indulging.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
I don't know if this was ever suggested but is there interest in an area on the site for pairing people up through the summer? I fish at night and it would probably be better if I didn't do it alone so much. You know how it is...driving down the Cape with the family last minute on Friday. You get to the house, put the kids to bed, and go out fishing. It's probably the most dangerous thing to do in shore fishing (aside from going to the end of the Salisbury Jetty in your waders).
If there was a section with people's names and where they are on the Cape/North Shore/RI, when and where they're available, it might catch on. Sort of like mini-claves I guess. I couldn't guess on a format, maybe a database of site members with their schedule and contact info?
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Juro: We were fishing off the beach of "an island" located off the coast of Massachusetts. The guy holding the 1/2 striper is captain Peter O'Brien who charters out of Madaket Harbor on the west end of Nantucket. Pete was kind enough to invite me and buddy to join him and his first mate on their "night off", so I promised him I would never divulge the spot we were fishing. That night we probably caught close to 100 stripers and blues between the 4 of us fishing forabout 3 hours. Close to 95% of the stripers were "keeper" sized and we caught some real pigs, up to about 35 lbs. It was non-stop action until the men in the brown suits showed (brown and bull sharks) up and started biting all our stripers in half. This is one of about a 1/2 dozen we lost to the sharks that night.
The sharks were running in the trough just off the beach. It was a full moon night so we could see their backs and dorsal fins as they swam by in front of us. At one point I actually jabbed my rod tip into one that swam right in front of me. We stopped fishing for the night after one of the sharks (about a 7 foot brown) came up the beach out of the surf following a striper my buddy Matt was dragging out of the surf. He had bent over to unhook the striper and didn't realize the shark had followed his fish out of the water. Needless to say he was bit "shocked" and we all decided it was time to quit.
RE:Night flyfishing strategies
Awsome account of a serious night on the beach Steve! Reminds me not to wade too far out at night
McCaff - absolutely, I'd suggest you simply post here. There are a number of us who live a similar lifestyle on Friday nights thru the season!

Paying Sponsors - Banners-Donations and a small url blurb to help Keith
Hi Juro, all,
I personanly have not" that I am aware of" asked any web site bullitin board-chat room for a donation or sponsorship. (Could I be wrong?)
This is what is appearing on my web site tonight for todays report. I did it partially last night and here it is 6am and Im already prepping tonights report - yikes!) Have to run and do a trip today, so hopefully Ill have some pictures to add and some nice tips, etc...
Mail Bag:
Keith is a nice guy with a nice product. We met on http://www.flyfishingforum.com/flytalk/index.htm
(I was going to put his lil 2 paragraph ad here for you to see, but then I remembered the rules, it will be on mine tonight)
(His url will appear here)
Other web sites I like and have enjoy for years on Cape Cod for qaulity fishign reports, articles, fly tieing tip's and much more http://www.flyfishingforum.com/flytalk/index.htm.
(another good Cape cod url site similar to your's will appear here), (another good Cape cod url site similar to your's will appear here), (another good Cape cod url site similar to your's will appear here)
Nothng earth shattering, but I do try take care of those that take care of me and sometimes it makes me feel goodd inside. You may pick up some new members, donations?
Anyway, as Ive said, you all have been more than kind and generous with your tips, articles, knowledge and entertaimant. (And putting up with me) One of my biggest pleasures in the evening is enjoying your forum members post's.
It's funny, most web site's like your's want my long lenghty educational articles to ad content to there site. Putting a url at the bottom is not an issue.
( Feel free to delete this and all post's I just made. No hard feelings, no biggy. I just feel that these sites are a source for the free exchange of information and by adding good substance- bring's more viewers to your site. This helps the local economoy and also any sales you might be offering off your web site. Content = more viewers. More viewers = hopefully more sales. Its one thing to be a paid advertiser and another to take hours out of my day to write report's, educational articles to help your viewers. And in exchange only add my url. The viewer wins!)
Anyway, have to run, nice chatting and I respect your site,, it's members and your rules and regs.
Well Randy,
It's nice of you to do that for Keith. But he undertands that we rely on our sponsors to deal with our burden, and has inquired about sponsorship.
You asked me if the Forum would like to advertise on your website recently. Although we did not take you up on your offer, that advertisement would have only been worth something if you did not let everyone else promote themselves on your site along with us without the same ante.
If you were filling white space wantonly, I think we would feel compromised. It boils down to a matter of honor. If one sponsor is good enough to support us, then we will not dishonor him by letting others promote their interests or the interests of their direct competitors because of the available cleavage (I removed that post) at twice the price.
These are companies like Rio, Airflo, Scientific Angler, Sage, Thomas and Thomas, LOOP, Rob Meiser, etc - some of the finest in the industry. Great flyshops of North America, guides who are excellent recommendations even to your best friend. People we want to honor as they honor us with their sponsorships.
In fact I have held my advertisement off the site because I am not sure how people would take it. I want people to think of the forum as the forum, not as my promotional project. Due to a recent job change, I might not be able to hold off forever - but I have to think that four years says something about me as a person.
So many people are tempted to jump on board and push their wares. We deal with spam day in and day out. It's a hassle especially for our staff who take no payment for bringing this site to it's members, although someday that might change. It's been four long years of work without pay.
I don't think it's a lot to ask... but if you want to participate, all we ask is that people play by the rules that let us keep this house in order.
Found your site
Never mind sending it to me. I found it. Ill post it tommorrow along with this web sites address to share everything with everyone.
Small World
Hi Keith,
Small world is right!Nice to chat and have enjoyed your post's. Welcome to one of the best Web sites for the Cape and beyound. Great bunch of anglers here, all willing to help in anyway possible. They'd give you the shirt off their back.
I have heard the name, but do not know him personally, good reputation.
I wont post it here, but see if you can find my email address or something to contact me. If you have a web site (Please dont post the url here unless your a paid advertiser, Ive made that mistake before and above will be the last time I make that mistake again)) I'll throw it up on my, will, errr, lets just say, if you have a web site for your buisness, send it to me privately and Ill post it on mine. You should see a nice jump in your hits. I have a lot of white space I need to try to fill and enjoy trying to help others in the buisness.
My work load is starting to get heavy so I wont have much of a chance to chat much, so it was nice meeting you.
May all your door knobs always smell of grossly oversized Stripers and steelhead,
Scott Sampson
My brother acxtually did all of the graphics for Scotts book. Do you know John Sanders? He has just finished his book. Took a year and a half.

Steelhead heaven: 15 miles of NY's Salmon
(My ol friend writer Scott Sampson writes another nice Salmon River Article. This article is being run to hopefully help the local economy recover a little and also help those that are new and interested in the sport)
Steelhead heaven: 15 miles of NY's Salmon
New York fishing map feature
By Scott Sampson
* Fishing and Hunting News PULASKI, N.Y. ? It's a little like trying to stop a freight train by dragging your foot: you hang on and hope. You dance over the rocks with cleated boots in a race between you and the steelhead to the next pool. Your tail-walking friend is attached to your hopes and dreams with a 4-pound leader and 5- or 6-pound-test main line. You are layered in clothing that dulls the physical cold of 33-degree water. Korkers, the spiked sandals, are tied on over the felt bottoms of your 5mm neoprene boot waders. The spikes dig into the bedrock, gravel beds or sometimes bottom ice that forms in the midwinter pools of slower water currents, keeping you upright.
Salmon River guide Randy Jones completed the dance with this big metalhead.
You jockey your way down the river in hopes of getting below your fish, so you can let the current help you battle what might be an average steelhead of 8 pounds ... or one that is in the high-teens of trophy class. Guide Randy Jones (yankeeangler.com) advises his anglers to plan the battle before the hookup. If you can only stand still and hang on, the war will be lost within seconds and your trophy of a lifetime will be only a glimpse and a pulse of success. But Jones readily admits that planning the battle before it begins is more easily said than done. Success is measured in the number of hookups experienced and not fish landed. And "hookups" are not just a rap at your bait or fly. Hookups are fish-leaping, rod-thumping, heart-stopping experiences that are recorded in your mind forever. A hookup might last for seconds or fractions of an hour. With the light line, limber rods and fast currents, you never get a second chance. The steelhead can wrap the gossamer line around a rock or a snag as easily as you can fall into the river as you follow the fish downstream hoping to reach quiet water where you can tease it into the net.The stellar Salmon The Salmon River, in Oswego County, is the premier steelhead water in the East. It is short by river standards, just 15 miles long from Lake Ontario to the first dam impassable by fish, but it has some 10 miles of public fishing easements and another 2½ miles of private water open to a limited number of anglers willing to pay to cast. There are also two fly-fishing-only areas upstream of the Village of Altmar. The river contains classic pools, runs and riffles. A minimum water flow from the Lighthouse Hill hydroelectric dam makes the river a year-round fishery, even in midwinter when other waters may be frozen shut. Steelhead runs begin in mid-October and winter fish typically hold in the deep pools until they spawn in March and April. May is a transition fishery as the silver-sided trophies drop back to the lake and the Skamania strain prepares for summer runs. While nearly 30 percent of New York's steelhead are reproduced naturally, DEC assures adequate numbers of fish reach the Altmar Hatchery by stocking 120,000 yearling steelhead of the Washington strain, along with 48,000 of the summer fish. Other waters, such as the Oswego, seldom gets more than 20,000 stockers.Winter challenges Winter fishing takes place in crystal-clear water, and is more challenging than any other time of the year. The worse the weather, the fewer anglers and the more room you have to fish. Drift boats run from August to May with more than 35 professional guides on the river, but there has also been an increase in individually owned drift boats. If you run one, put in at Altmar and take out at Pineville or the Ball Park. A drift boat helps you cover more water but unless you are back-plugging or back-trolling, you will be doing a lot of your fishing from shore and using the drift boat as transportation from pool to pool. Much of the fishing is accomplished with long limber rods that can handle the light line and still keep as much line out of the water as possible as you drift a fly or bait through the pools. Even flyrodders will use the chuck-and-duck technique, fishing a running line on a 9- to 11-foot rod. The running fly line, normally used with shooting heads, is a means to meet the official requirement of using traditional fly gear in the fly-fishing-only sections of the river. Consult the regs for equipment guidelines for fly-fishing areas as well as the rest of the river. New this season, for example, leaders may only be 4 feet between the fly or bait and any weight added to the line.

As another Disney starlet, Caroline Sunshine is bound to make it big (how could she not with a name like Caroline Sunshine?). She's on the Disney show Shake It Up! where she plays a European exchange student. She also sings (duh, isn't that basically a requirement for being on the Disney Channel?). I'm thinking she's going to be the next Ashley Tisdale.

Ariana Grande has been playing Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon show Victorious since 2010. She's the red headed ditz on the show, and she was such a breakout star that when Victorious ends after this season, she's getting her own spin-off with Jennette McCurdy. She released her first single this year and it debuted at 25 on the charts. Not too shabby.

Bella Thorne is a quadruple threat. She's a singer, actress, dancer and model. Much like current teen sensations like Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, Bella is a Disney star. She stars on Shake It Up! with fellow up-and-comer, Zendaya. Her single TTYLXOX peaked at 15 on Billboard's Heatseekers Songs chart, which is for new and developing acts, and she's been nominated and won tons of teen awards. So move over Bella Swan, there's a new Bella who is ready to take over.

Similar to the uber-famous Justin Bieber, Cody Simpson was discovered on Youtube, but unlike Biebs, Simpson is Australian, which makes him a million times hotter. He writes his own songs and plays guitar and piano. His album, Paradise, comes out in the beginning of October, and he's about to have all lady eyes on him because he's going to tour with the Bieber himself.

Hunter Hayes released his first studio album in 2011 and has already had a Top 5 and a Top 20 country song. This boy is mega talented. On his first album, he played every single instrument and wrote or co-wrote every track. He's toured with Taylor Swift (you may have heard of her), and is about to go on tour with Carrie Underwood. The teens showed their love for him by voting for him to win the Choice Male Country Artist award at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards. He's going to appeal to more than teens soon enough though. Just wait.

Jennette McCurdy plays Miranda Cosgrove's BFF Sam on iCarly. She's the tough, funny girl who is obsessed with food and has been to juvy a few times. Her first studio album came out this past June, and it's filled with catchy country tunes. Her comedic chops have won her the 2009 Favorite TV Sidekick Awards and the 2012 Funniest TV Sidekick award at the Kids' Choice Awards, but by this time next year she won't be anyone's sidekick. She'll be the main star.

IM5 is a fairly new boy band that was put together by Perez Hilton, celeb gossip extraordinaire; Simon Fuller, the creator of American Idol; and Jamie King, a well-known tour director and choreographer. The boys are Cole, Dalton, Will, Gabriel and Dana. The guys all have their own personalities, and the girls love them. Best part? They are actually talented; they can sing AND dance well (I'm almost reminded of *NSYNC). Their single Zero Gravity is super catchy and incorporates some of that new dubstep all the kids are listening too. Get ready to hear a lot more from them.

You've probably seen this girl in a few movies. She was in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Soul Surfer, but she's just getting started. She's on her way to icon status, and what better way to become an icon than to play one? AnnaSophia will be playing Carrie Bradshaw in The Carrie Diaries. She will be portraying high school Carrie who has to figure out boys, sex and fashion. Every teen and every Sex and the City lover will be tuning in, which is sure to make AnnaSophia Robb the next big thing.

Miranda Cosgrove has been doing movies and TV for ages. You probably remember her as the know-it-all from School of Rock, but that's not what the tweens know her as. Miranda has stared on Nickelodeon's iCarly for the past 5 years, and she was on Drake and Josh before that. Her album, Sparks Fly, peaked at number eight on the Billboard charts, and she's releasing another album within the next year. With iCarly ending this year, Miranda is going to focus on college. She's attending USC this fall, but she picked that school because she still wants to do acting, so don't expect her to disappear in the library all year.

Apple's iOS 6 Maps Leads Australian Motorists to Dangerous Areas

Apple Maps is a little confused about where Mildura is
Australian police are warning citizens and tourists not to use
Apple Maps in iOS 6
when traveling through the dangerous terrain of Mildura.
Police from the city of Mildura, which is a regional city in northwestern Victoria, Australia, are concerned that Apple's new homemade mapping service in iOS 6 is taking people to inaccurate (and dangerous) areas -- where they've become stranded.
The problem is that Apple Maps places Mildura in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park, but in reality, Mildura is about 43 miles (or 70 km) from that location.
Not only is this a lengthy inconvenience, it's also a danger to the lives of motorists who were duped by Apple Maps. The area in Murray Sunset National Park, which it claims is Mildura, is a very hot and dry area that can reach temperatures of nearly 115 degrees Fahrenheit (or 46 degrees Celsius).
Mildura Police have already found stranded motorists who were lost out in the Murray Sunset National Park without food and water for as long as 24 hours.
Mildura Police have contacted Apple to fix the issue.
Earlier this year, Apple ditched Google Maps as its main iOS maps app in favor of its own in-house maps service. Apple Maps debuted with the iOS 6 launch, but the application failed miserably when it
came to navigation and geography
. It displayed locations that didn't exist, represented existing locations in an unrecognizable way or gave false directions.
This forced Apple CEO Tim Cook to have to apologize to customers for the company's poor job on the new app.
Shortly after,
Apple Vice President of iOS Software
Scott Forstall was booted
from the company. He oversaw much of the mapping development, and aside from that, failed to get along with other company executives and employees.
Richard Williamson, manager of the Apple mapping team, was fired as well for the horrible job on Apple's new maps service.
Victoria Police News
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

Roosting Rhetoric
You are on the third and final day of a difficult hunt. Weather has made the
turkeys cranky and uncooperative, and the few toms you've heard gobble have
refused to leave their hens. It's midday, and you're slogging through mud on
the way back to camp, where you and your buddies will grab lunch and decide
whether to hunt the rest of the day or go home birdless.
Suddenly, you spot two strutters in a nearby field, apparently alone. You
drop to the ground, get your back to a large tree and begin calling.
Amazingly, the birds come unglued at your calling, breaking into fits of
double- and triple-gobbling. Then, to make things more exciting, they start
trotting toward your setup. Your heart races, and your mouth goes dry.
You're gonna pull a rabbit from the hat at the last minute.
But when the birds reach the 30-yard mark, they spot something amiss and get
goosy. The smaller of the toms ducks his head, drops low and sneaks off
through the grass. The other gobbler seems about to do the same, but instead
rubber-necks for a few seconds before flushing and landing in a tree only 20
steps away. You have a clear shot at his head, but as you flick the safety
off you remember that roost-shooting is illegal in the state.
Do you:
A) Drop the hammer? A turkey that has lit in a tree during daylight is not
roosting; he's simply trying to get a better look at things.
B) Pass the shot? Roost shooting means shooting a turkey from a tree, and
that definition doesn't change during daylight.
C) Something else?

Comes with a 2 (Two) Year warranty
Each wiper comes complete with metal frames, silicone blades, poly carbonate railing with end caps (to lock)and universal connectors
Installation is easy as the wipers come with "easy clip-ons"
Eco Friendly to the environments its long lasting durability will reduce frequent changing of wipers
Extra savings from its longer lasting quality which reduces the need for constant replacements.
Why use SILICONE for wipers?
Silicone is ideal because it is odor less, stainless and has inert properties
It is highly resistant to weathering, oxidation and a variety of chemicals
It is able to withstand extreme temperature application from - 60ºC up to 300ºC; blades are not affected by daily fluctuation in temperatures
Displays superior water resistance
Why use DURA EDGE brand of SILICONE Wiper Blades?
Made from high Temperature Vulcanized Silicone (HTV Silicone) that renders them virtually indestructible
Dura Edge is committed to using 100 % silicone material
Deposits hydrophobic properties that allow water to bead up your windshield
There is a guaranteed 2 years Warranty with an excellent customer service record for a one-to-one replacement for defected wipers.
This Silicone blade is manufactured in South Africa using propriety and patented Silicone Extrusion Process( Awarded ISO 9001:2008)
This Silicone blade satisfies international standards for Solar Radiation (Sunshine). Method of tests used on wipers - US Military Weathering Standard Test ( MIL-STD-810F Method 505.4 Procedure II )
If you are using easy-to-worn out rubber wipers or cheap silicone formula wipers, this is a good time to change to a high quality wiper product! You will not regret the performance and have no more worries when you drive on a rainy night as your vision will be crystal clear.
Forget rubber wipers as you will need to change them as frequent as 3-months due to our Malaysian weather to get clear wiping-vision while driving in heavy rain. Most Malaysian drivers may have witness or experienced the occurrence of accidents on our highways when there is a heavy downpour especially during the night as our vision/clarity of the road may be compromised by worn-out wipers. So, wait no longer and get yourself a reliable pair of wipers from us.

Product Return Policy
In what condition do we accept product exchange and/or refund?
Kumoten dropshippers are allowed to return products within 14 calendar days from shipment date under the following circumstances:
a.) Manufacturing defects.
b.) Kumoten delivered the wrong item.
Product return policy and procedures
(a) Stay Calm and Contact Us. In the event of customer complaint and request for return or refund, please stay calm and contact our Whatsapp Customer Service team at 019-3310990 or email@example.com. Our support team available Mondays - Fridays, 9am - 6pm .
(b) What do we need to verify that the item is allowed for exchange or return? In most cases, we will need your help to get a few photo or video (handphone standard is sufficient, no need studio photography. ) of the item, show us where is the problem and we will get it processed. Off course, we will need to know the order ID too.
(b) (i) How to send the item back to us. Once our support team confirms the return, we shall send you a digital consignment note (Pos Laju). Retailers shall be required to inform the buyer to print the digital consignment note and paste it on the return parcel. We will arrange PosLaju to pick up the item from your buyer's address. If your buyer prefer us to pick up the return item from another address like their work place, please let us know too.
(ii) How to pack the return parcel. Please remind your buyer to ensure that the parcel has all the items including the packaging in it. Make sure the parcel is not see-through and well sealed. Paste the consignment note on the parcel.
(c) Exchange or Refund? We suggest you try to ask whether buyer accepts product exchange as first option. In any case, you and your buyer shall have the option to either get refund for the item's amount paid as stated in the sales order, or product replacement (same SKU). However, in the event where the particular item is out of stock, Kumoten shall refund the amount to you (dropshipper) and you liaise with the buyer.
(d) How long does it take? The product return or refund normally takes about 7-14 working days to complete. But it take two to tango, we need to work as a team to resolve the issue. Help us get the necessary information and Kumoten will try our very best to shorten the process.
(e) Communication with buyer. Kumoten does not liaise with end users. We need your help to liaise directly with your buyers because they know you.
(f) Delivery cost. Delivery cost for returning item shall be borne by Kumoten if you follow the procedure of using our digital consignment note. Kumoten shall also bear the cost of sending the item back to the buyer.
(g) Buyer from countries other than Malaysia. The verification process is similar to Malaysia-to-Malaysia returns. Kumoten will still bear the return cost if it meets the Product Return Policy requirements. The only difference is we will use other courier service company and the process will take up to 30 days depending on buyer location and stock availability (worst case scenario). In the case of refund, we shall refund in the same currency in which you paid Kumoten.
Refund or replacement will not be applicable for the following situations:
a) Original packaging missing
b) Any item that has been worn, or altered.
c) Used items (for cosmetic and other personal items such as under garments, adult toys)


text: Born Cremona 1671, Died Bologna 1749. His individual and poetic art represents the last significant expression of the classical-idealist strain in Bolognese painting. His activity was almost wholly confined to Bologna, where he painted decorative frescoes, altarpieces and easel pictures for private collectors. Two characteristics dominated, perfect handling of paint and a poetic mood.


text: I would definately introduce him to the process. I found that men love to cut fabric with a rotary cutter. I guess its the tool thing. They are not so big on the ironing part .. LOL. But by all means let hime play with the tools, he will take the steps he wants to take . It might be a good idea to sign him up for a class ,,, men are really popular in classes... and it starts to give him his own "quilting identity".

When someone says something bad about you, your hommies or family members or says something that is really stupid. To save face, maintain peace, garner respect, or want to make a point, you give that person at olay slap or multiple olay slaps. Unlike the typical bitch slap which is a horizontal slap across the face, the olay slap starts with the backhand slap across the face and then ends with the hand in the verticle position.
(yo, hey, what up) (hommie, esse, bradah) your dis-respecting my (hommie, cous, bro, familia, my chick, my ride)and I am gonna give you an olay slappin' if you keep it up!

From time to time I see posts for medical device coding jobs on craigslist and the like. Quite commonly they require one to have experience with C#
This is yet another symptom of a very common disease: enter computers, and all of the sudden medical professionals simply ignore patient privacy and security. May be it's for the lack of understanding on the part of individual doctors, but then where are their governing bodies looking? They are selling us out. They must be corrupt three times over.
Last time I went to a doctor for a regular checkup, I almost asked her: are my responses private? [Yes, I assume] Then why the bloody hell are you typing them into a Windoze? You are sharing them with Microsoft and its affiliates as you are typing them in front of me, so where do they go when I am not looking? I didn't confront her, though, opting instead to be very discrete about my medical condition.
And i bet that that don't even qualifies as the tip of the iceberg.
I agree completely. We get closer to the iceberg if we consider the invasion and the ongoing occupation of Iraq, which is a war of aggression and a war crime, and carries with it a tremendous toll on the civilian population.
If UN is going to police the world, they should start with interstate conflicts, and the rogue state number one, instead of meddling with the internal affairs of a state so week that it will collapse on it own without humanitarian help.

On February 5, 2014, Slashdot announced through a javascript popup that they are starting to "move in to" the new Slashdot Beta design. Slashdot Beta is a trend-following attempt to give Slashdot a fresh look, an approach that has led to less space for text and an abandonment of the traditional Slashdot look. Much worse than that, Slashdot Beta fundamentally breaks the classic Slashdot discussion and moderation system.
If you haven't seen Slashdot Beta already, open this in a new tab. After seeing that, click here to return to classic Slashdot.
We should boycott stories and only discuss the abomination that is Slashdot Beta until Dice abandons the project.
We should boycott slashdot entirely during the week of Feb 10 to Feb 17 as part of the wider slashcott

Snowden has demonstrated that a traitor can be a hero
No, he demonstrated that a hero will be called a traitor by the actual traitors he exposed.
traitor (noun) One who violates his allegiance and betrays his/her country; one guilty of treason; one who, in breach of trust, delivers his country to an enemy, or yields up any fort or place intrusted to his defense, or surrenders an army or body of troops to the enemy, unless when vanquished; also, one who takes arms and levies war against his country; or one who aids an enemy in conquering his country.
When did he betray USA? When he exposed massive surveillance, which is almost certainly unconstitutional? When he exposed the fact that NSA is operating without any practical oversight? Or the fact that most (if not all) of the Congress has no right to know whether they are being spied on? Or the fact that the highest NSA officials lied, and continue to lie under oath? He broke a low, granted. That makes him a criminal, not automatically a traitor. And in this instance, it also makes him a hero, since the law he broke is oppressive and should have never been on the books.
evolution of DNA predates Earth by 6 billion years
This fascinating article makes it look quite possible, if not plausible. Seriously good read, and I am not a biologist.
We need to be careful not to praise the acts only because the results were good.
In this case, however, the laws he broke are oppressive: something you forgot to mention. The reason he cannot return is because USA does not have sufficient whistle-blowing protections. Should a citizen be able to report an illegal activity and a gross abuse of power, regardless of the classification of relevant documents? In a democratic society, it should be the citizen's duty, and an activity protected by the law. So we need to be careful to give Snowden praise he deserves for bringing our attention both to the illegal activities, and to the sad state of our legal system.
Thanks! Indeed, it's almost word for word:
1. Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference.
2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.
3. The exercise of the rights provided for in paragraph 2 of this article carries with it special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as are provided by law and are necessary:
(a) For respect of the rights or reputations of others;
(b) For the protection of national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public health or morals.
But unlike UDHR, this is merely lip service. They give it with one hand, and with the other hand they take it away completely.

... It has a weird syntax and only allows variables 27 from a-z.
Variable names were limited to A to Z, A0 to A9, B0 to B9, ..., Z0 to Z9, giving a maximum of 286 possible distinct variables. Array names were restricted to A to Z only

Alesis Fusion
The Alesis Fusion is a synthesizer workstation packed with features for the modern keyboardist. Released in 2005, Alesis managed to cram four powerful synthesis engines and an 8-track, 24-bit hard disk recorder into the Fusion's sleek, silver frame. The types of synthesis on offer include Sample Playback, FM, Virtual Analog (VA) and Physical Modeling – all powered by three floating-point Texas Instruments digital signal processors. It comes in 61-key synth action (6HD) and 88-key weighted (8HD) versions.
The Sample Playback engine lets you create four oscillator patches from either ROM multisamples or your own custom samples. Your samples can be recorded in through the dedicated stereo port, or loaded in via compact flash/USB; you can then edit and store them on the Fusion's large hard drive (40 or 80 GB). Import of WAV and SoundFont is supported, opening up a massive world of sounds. With 64MB of RAM, expandable to 192MB (and tricks available to double the usable amount of RAM) you won't fit a massive orchestral library in this synth, but for most sound design and live applications it will be plenty. Your samples can then be shaped using the Fusion's plethora of filter types, envelopes, and its massive mod matrix – nearly anything can be routed anywhere!
The six-operator FM engine can give you those DX-type sounds, full of character. However, it isn't compatible with DX SysEx, but you can still have a lot of fun creating your own sounds. The VA engine is very powerful, with many similarities to the Ion/Micron line! There are three oscillators with multiple wave shapes, FM, Sync, PWM and 20 different filter types including lowpass, bandpass, highpass and a 4-band EQ for every patch. The Physical Modeling section includes both a Wind and a Reed model, and while not amazingly realistic, they can be abused to create some very strange pads!
Putting all these synthesis types together, you start to see the power of the Fusion. Using Combis you can mix and match all of them, run them through effects, create massive evolving soundscapes using SoundFonts mixed with physically modeled wind and big VA strings, and more. Trigger loops and arpeggiators with one hand while doing a six oscillators thick lead synth freak-out with the other, the possibilities are staggering!
The effects section is OK. The distortion is a little weak and needs tweaking to get really gnarly results, but the bread and butter effects are all decent enough. The Hard Disk Recorder and Sequencer are basic but quite useable as a musical sketch pad. For example, if you and a guitarist wanted to jam something out, you could record your keyboards as a MIDI part to the sequencer, and then record a guitarist's amplifier through one of the 8-track HD recorder's inputs on the back of the machine. Speaking of inputs, connectivity is generally good with eight quarter-inch inputs for the multi-track, stereo sampling in, two main outputs, two auxiliary outputs, MIDI, USB 2.0, all the things you'd expect on the back of a modern keyboard.
With all these features at a price point under $1,000, you'd think that this synth would be massively popular. However, early in its life there were some annoying bugs in the firmware, and some features were initially under-developed, such as the pattern-based sequencing. Although Alesis did a great job of releasing regular updates over its first three years, the Fusion's reputation became tarnished enough to blow it into obscurity.
The Fusion isn't perfect, it has issues like any piece of hardware, but for the price they can be had today, they make a wonderful performance keyboard, sound-design tool, and all around synth.

Ok So Michigan has this almost a month long season May 6-30th. I've hunted it 2 years now. All last year Hens. This year so far no birds.
Both years, early April I called a Tom to my backyard. Just once each year and a bunch of turkeys in the area so I'm not educating them.
I'm thinking the Season is too late and all the Toms are tired and Hens are on nests already.
Thoughts and tips to help me get a bird this year? I'm on my own land and have about 4 acres food plot and 4 acres woods with a small creek in the woods.

High blood pressure is a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher. Both numbers are important.
Nearly 1 in 3 American adults has high blood pressure. Once high blood pressure develops, it usually lasts a lifetime. The good news is that it can be treated and controlled.
High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it usually has no symptoms. Some people may not find out they have it until they have trouble with their heart, brain, or kidneys. When high blood pressure is not found and treated, it can cause:

I shot him at last light on this past Friday. My son also bagged a very nice ram. We were near Marfa, TX in the Chinati Mtns. only about 10-15 miles from the Mexico border. We hunted under the watchful eye of the Homeland Security blimp.

From the NY Times
Illegals are not covered by Obamacare ... but those 11 million are mostly uninsured; especially the poorest of them. Obamacare cuts the funding, by half, that helped doctors and hospital give these people health care ... who will make up the shortfall?
Interestingly even the NY Times is willing to print a statement that the cowardice of the politicians in addressing immigration law simultaneously with health care reform could essentially impair the health care available to those who now will have insurance ... the insured will have less access to the health care that the insurance would pay for?No matter where they are, all hospitals are obliged under federal law to treat anyone who arrives at the emergency room, regardless of their immigration status.However, those hospitals that are situated in certain areas bear the brunt of the burden with poor illegal immigrants.The hospitals range from prominent public ones, like Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan, to neighborhood mainstays like Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn and Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego. They include small rural outposts like Othello Community Hospital in Washington State, which receives a steady flow of farmworkers who live in the country illegally.Lutheran Medical Center is in the Sunset Park neighborhood, where low-wage earning Chinese and Latino communities converge near an expressway. Hospitals are not allowed to record patients immigration status, but Ms. Goldstein estimated that 20 percent of its patients were what she called the undocumented not only uninsured, but uninsurable.
She said Congressional staff members acknowledged that the health care law would scale back the money that helps pay for emergency care for such patients, but were reluctant to tackle the issue.
I was told in Washington that they understand that this is a problem, but immigration is just too hot to touch, she said.
The Affordable Care Act sets up state exchanges to reduce the cost of commercial health insurance, but people must prove citizenship or legal immigration status to take part. They must show similar documentation to apply for Medicaid benefits that are expanded under the law.
The act did call for increasing a little-known national network of 1,200 community health centers that provide primary care to the needy, regardless of their immigration status. But that plan, which could potentially steer more of the uninsured away from costly hospital care, was curtailed by Congressional budget cuts last year.
That leaves hospitals like Lutheran, which is nonprofit and has run a string of such primary care centers for 40 years, facing cuts at both ends.
On a recent weekday in Lutherans emergency room, a Chinese mother of two stared sadly through the porthole of an isolation unit. The woman had active tuberculosis and needed surgery to drain fluid from one lung, said Josh Liu, a patient liaison.
The disease had been discovered during a checkup at one of Lutherans primary care centers, where the sliding scale fee starts at $15. But the woman, an illegal immigrant, had no way to pay for the surgery.In some states, including New York, hospitals caring for illegal immigrants in life-threatening situations can seek payment case by case, from a program known as emergency Medicaid. But the program has many restrictions and will not make up for the cuts in the $20 billion pool, hospital executives said.
Groups that favor more restrictive immigration policies said they agreed that the cuts in the $20 billion fund were a burden. They said hospitals obviously had a duty to provide emergency care for everybody, including illegal immigrants.
I kind of like living in a society where we dont let people die on the steps of the emergency room, said Mark Krikorian, the executive director of one such group, the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington.
But he said the answer lay in enforcing laws, so that illegal immigrants leave the country, not in extending health coverage.
There is no ideal resolution to the problem, other than reducing the illegal population, he said. Incorporating illegal immigrants into health exchanges or directly taxpayer-funded health care legitimizes their presence.
The Obama administration said the Affordable Care Act supported safety-net hospitals in other ways, pointing to measures that raise payments for primary care and give bonuses for improvements in quality.
We are taking important steps to make health care more affordable and accessible for millions of Americans, Erin Shields Britt, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services, said in an e-mail. Health reform isnt the place to fix our broken immigration system.If the people who wrote the bill had asked the grass-roots providers for input, they might have noticed this glitch. If enough of the polliticians had truly read the bill carefully, in the context of the real world, they might have noticed this glitch?The corporation runs New York Citys public hospitals, which treated 480,000 uninsured patients last year, an estimated 40 percent of them illegal immigrants. The same worries haunt tiny Othello Community Hospital, in Washington states rural Adams County, where it is the only hospital for miles around.
Last year, the state began requiring that participants in a basic health plan prove that they are citizens or legal residents.
As a consequence, 4,000 out of the 4,400 patients at the nearby primary care center, mostly immigrant farmworkers, lost their coverage, leaving Othello more financially vulnerable when those people need emergency care.
In Central California, Harry Foster, director of the Family HealthCare Network, another primary care center, called the Affordable Care Act a double-edged sword.
Many low-wage earning citizens now lack employer-sponsored health insurance, and the health care industry is already competing for those who will gain coverage through the law. But no one is competing to treat those it leaves out, he said.
We will receive more and more of those patients, he said, estimating that 40 percent of the areas residents were illegal immigrant farmworkers. But financially, we cant take on all the uninsured patients in the area, to the exclusion of all the others, and survive.
In many ways Lutheran, a century-old hospital that refurbished a defunct factory to serve as its hub in the 1960s, has been a prototype of the laws new model: coordinating primary and preventive care to improve health outcomes while curbing costs. Yet it stands to lose $25 million from the cuts.
This is an unintended consequence of the law, said Ms. Goldstein, the hospitals chief executive. But so far, nobody is doing anything to resolve it.
I'm surprised Holder lets WA ask for proof of citizenship to join a health plan. Seems out of character for him.
So, by 2014, 2016, etc. we will finally find out what is really in this law. In that regard, Nancy Pelosi was correct, I guess.

Seymour is co-winner of Polya Prize
Posted August 2, 2004; 04:06 p.m.
Princeton mathematician Paul Seymour has been awarded the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics' George Polya Prize for his work in the field of combinatorial theory.
Seymour and Neil Robertson of Ohio State University received the award at the society's annual meeting July 12-16 in Portland, Ore. The prize was established in 1969 and is given every two years.
Robertson and Seymour received the prize for their proof of the Wagner Conjecture in the theory of graph minors. According to the society, "The Robertson-Seymour proof ... is a true tour-de-force spanning 20 important research papers and providing a structural characterization of finite graphs that has deep and far-reaching consequences."
Seymour previously served on the faculty at Ohio State, Rutgers and the University of Waterloo. From 1984 to 1996, he was a member of the technical staff and senior scientist at Bellcore. In 1996, he joined the faculty at Princeton, where he currently is professor of mathematics and director of graduate studies in the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics .
Robertson, a professor of mathematics at Ohio State, was a visiting professor at Princeton from 1996 to 2001.
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics was founded in 1952 to support and encourage the important industrial role that applied mathematics and computational science play in advancing science and technology.

Zack, Cody and the SS Tipton crew are setting sail for Vancouver, Canada, for The Suite Life Movie, premiering tonight on Disney Channel. Spring break is just around the corner for the gang at Seven Seas High. In fact, it's their last one aboard the ship before graduation. So, it's no surprise that Cody (Cole Sprouse) and Bailey (Debby Ryan) have made plans to spend the perfect break together. That is, until Cody accepts an internship at a marine biology reserve instead, making Bailey furious.
But as it turns out, Bailey's not the only one fuming. When Zack (Dylan Sprouse) accidentally gets Cody fired from his new gig, Cody vows never to speak to his brother again. That's when the real trouble begins.
In return for a scholarship to Yale University, Cody accepts an invitation to be in the Gemini Project, which studies how twins get along with one another. The catch, of course, is that he must do the study with Zack. When strange things start to happen, though, the twins realize things at the research center aren't exactly what they seem. Now Zack and Cody must put aside their brotherly spat to uncover the truth. Will they make up and solve the mystery? And will Bailey forgive Cody for bailing on their plans?
TFK sat down with Debby Ryan, recently, in New York City. Read on to see what she said about Bailey's role in The Suite Life Movie, and about working with the boys.
How does it feel to finally get a Suite Life movie?
It's great! It's been a long time coming. We were all very excited because we got to film on location on a real boat, so the movie has a really cinematic feel. It has an energy and realness about it.
What role does Bailey play in the movie?
Bailey is upset with Cole because he didn't have the heart to tell her he'd gotten an internship at the marine biology reserve. She was so excited to spend their last spring break together. As plans change, Bailey is confused and a little bit hurt. So she's trying to decide throughout the entire movie whether or not she has a right to be upset. She wants to stand up for herself, but she also respects her relationship with Cole enough to make sure it isn't destroyed.
If you were in Cody's shoes, which would you choose: Spring break with Bailey or the internship?
To be honest, internship. You have to look at your future, especially at that age. If it's going to help Cody get into Yale, then he should definitely do the internship. That being said, he shouldn't have held it back from Bailey. If she had known, she could have gotten an internship at the reserve too, or they could have coordinated their schedules. There's definitely a way to have your cake and eat it too.
After playing the character for so long, do you feel you're still learning new things about her?
I do. There are things I'm still discovering about Bailey. In the movie, I'm so proud of Bailey for being mature enough to not throw a fit, but also for not letting herself be walked on. Relationships are important, but you are important too. You have to make sure you're good to yourself and that other people are good to you. She knows how to balance that.
What was it like to film on location in Vancouver?
It was awesome. I actually spent a third of last year in Vancouver. When I heard we were going to film there, I texted Cole. I was like, "First, we need to go to Japadogs, this Japanese hot dog place on the corner outside our hotel. Second, my favorite crepe [think pancakes] place is down the street. We need to get crepes! Third, I have a friend I want to introduce you to." We already had an entire plan by the time we got there. When I first moved to Los Angeles, they showed me around. So, it was cool to get to show them around my adopted city.
What's it been like working with Dylan and Cole through the years?
They're crazy! Those boys are insane. They're amazing because they've grown up in the industry. They know everything about it. I grew up in Europe, so I'm really well-versed in "reality," so we've learned a lot from each other. Obviously, there were growing pains, but it's funny because [we're so close now]. There are things I've told them that I haven't told anyone else.
What are some things fans might not know about them?
Dylan loves art. He draws and he has these figurines that he colors in. They're both really good at Super Smash Bros . . . I think Cole can name every Pokemon. Cole loves history and also knows a bunch about science. He's a bit like Cody, but suaver. He and I have had a lot of intellectual and spiritual conversations and debates.
What are some things about you that your fans may not know?
I rearrange my furniture every six months. I have commitment issues because I moved around a lot growing up. I don't like feeling settled, so I always rearrange my furniture. My mom knows it's happening if I close the door early in the morning and open the windows. After a while, she'll come in and I've moved the bed all by myself! Another thing is that I'm very hands-on with certain things. One of my favorite gifts that I've ever gotten was a belt sander. I'll run over my shoes with a car if I need to customize them. Also, I write a music blog, and I produce music.
Which musical acts or singers do you think will be the next big breakouts?
I think The Go! Team is probably going to have a good smash or two. Katie Costello, I love, in terms of alternative music. She's really great if you like musicians like Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor and Sara Bareilles. I think Grace Potter is going to be huge. I've been writing about her for about a year and a half. Now she's selling out venues and headlining. If you like classic rock, then Jonathan Tyler & the Northern Lights. And the band, Fun. There you go!

I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Good for you TeeEye7. I have a strong appreciation for donors.
I watched the Padres go 14 innings with the Colorado Rockies to finally win 5-4. It was an amazing show by our bullpen.
Before that I finished sorting everything green in my Star Wars collection in storage (that means Naboo, Endor, and Alderaan).
On Tuesday I'm going to work on OT Tatooine (the cantina and Jabba's).
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
After going with my parents to take my sister to the airport, I helped some friends film a project for their lighting class. It was supposed to mimic the lighting in a scene from a movie; it was going to be The Room, the so-bad-it's-enlightening masterpiece, but we switched it to Cool Runnings to make it easier, but it still took until past midnight.
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!

My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
this weekend was a very busy weekend for me...had both ups and downs...luckly more ups....
Saturday started on a down - had to take my beagle to Vet..she's been very sick and is anemic so a few shots and prescriptions later and we still don't know if she'll be okay in the end. she's only 3 so of course the doctor is stumped as to what could cause this in such a young dog. hopefully we'll get some good news on Tuesday when we bring her back for a recheck.
later that day we went to the Home Depot to get stuff to work on the garden, planted a new Apple Tree and mowed the lawn etc...
Sunday was a day for just me and the wife...we went to NYC to see the Tim Burton exhibit at the MOMA. what an amazing show. had a nice lunch in Bryant Park and stopped by TRU and got 3 of the new Clone Wars figures. all in all Sunday was a great day, beautiful weather, nice quiet lunch, and fun day at the musuem.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I worked at Wal-Mart. I can't remember doing anything else that day.

Except for a couple hours or so after 6pm (grading, reading), I was quite effective with my time from about 7am-3pm; busy day, and so I must've just run outta juice after then. Weather was excellent: not too hot, little breeze, sunny with some cloudiness.
Recycling netted me $7.92, pushing my total pretty close (if not over) to $200 this school year so far.
Helped move some furniture home from Ralph's (yes, that's a grocery store, but it was a good deal and a very nice quality 4-piece set), with assistance from a friend with a truck.
Did various around-town errands (renewed car registration at AAA, used some coupons at B&N and Best Buy, printed digital photos at Costco, some actual food at grocery store, renewed a library book).
Had lunch at Wendy's (chicken sangwich and a Frosty ).
Once I came home, it was all downhill from there (wasted too much time in sigh-berspace, watched too much TV) and went to bed later than I planned. Oh well.
