On Christmas cards and Christmas letters
Original post made by Diana Diamond, Palo Alto Online blogger, on Dec 20, 2006
I know some people loathe Christmas letters, but I am a sucker – I love them. It's a great way to keep in touch with high school friends, college roommates, and every other acquaintance in life, to track their yearly addresses, and, pragmatically speaking, to save writing the same notes over and over again on Christmas cards. Yes, the letters are expedient, but they also serve as an interesting way to put one's thoughts on paper about what this year was all about.
Some of my faraway friends merely send a card, which tells me only that they still are alive. Like "Happy holidays from Sally and John," or "Hope you are fine, Love Tom and Ginny." I mean, why bother (although their return address helps me track them).
Then there are the Christmas letters that presume I am an immediate family member: "Jack and Sue came from Michigan and spent a week with us this spring, while in June we had John and Karyn, and their adorable children, Steve, Kermit, April and June here for two weeks exploring Silicon Valley. This summer Mom came by for two weeks too."
Another friend of mine likes exclamation points and optimism on her Christmas card. "We are doing well! We went to London and Paris this summer and had a wonderful time!!! Then we had a barbeque for all our friends over Labor Day and it was fantastic!! I am getting ready for Christmas now and having so much fun!!!"
But some letters are special. I particularly admire the letters that comment on world events. As one friend of mine wrote, "2006 is ending, and we are still in a world of clashes of cultures and refusals to compromise and negotiate. However, the citizens of our country seem to have an increasing awareness of this, and we can hope that our government may realize this as well. Such a world does increase our appreciation of our many dear friends, both old and new."
That letter made me stop, and think, and in a strange way, rejoice, because I knew from their letter that they were so tuned into the global events that do affect us all, tuned in enough to make it their first sentence in their letter.
So let's all reflect. And Merry Christmas to you all, Happy Holidays, and Happy Hanukkah. The letters draw us together and maybe together we can make this world a better place to live.

Thank you Diana, you said it.
One of our important jobs is writing our Christmas letter with the right amount of news without being boring. One of the best parts of Christmas is receiving the letters from friends and family who we never hear about any other time of the year. This is the time of year for the nostalgia of old friends and family and this new fangled version of sending cheer is a great way to keep in touch. Apparently the British press has been calling this the new way of one-up-man-ship, which it may well be, but it doesn't have to be. Instead it is keeping in touch with many we would have lost touch with years ago.
So roll on those annual epistles.

I agree. Holiday letters are a pleasure to read, and we enjoy hearing about the lives of our friends. Humorous ones are the best of all.

Hear! Hear! It's about time someone stood up for the Christmas/holiday/New Year's letter! I LOVE getting them! People write in them like they never write anymore in any other part of their lives. And given all the criticism heaped on the letters these days, people are really putting their hearts out there (in a way that clearly takes a lot of work).
How else would I hear about how my nephew got into his diaper pail and redecorated the walls of the nursery? Or how a relative with cancer, overwhelmed and unable to keep constant contact with a huge family, is faring in daily life? Nowadays, email and phone calls seem to hit the very immediate and the very big stuff, but often miss some of these memorable, meaningful moments. Nowadays, the letters usually come with printed photos, too.
When I get Christmas letters, I open them with all the eagerness that I used to feel when I was a kid and I knew the mail had arrived.

Thanks, Diana. This is the time of year when I wonder if it's worth it for me to write a letter, mostly due to the time it takes, but also out of a fear of boring my friends and relations. Your blog entry reminds me that it may, indeed, be worth it.

For Vette, winning title would be promise kept
WINONA, Minn. - It started just as talk.
"This was right after they won their national championships and I told him I was going to win a national championship," Winona State Senior Forward Clayton Vette said.
"He did say to me, if I come to Winona, I'll win you a national championship," WSU Head Coach Mike Leaf said. "He actually looked at me very seriously and I said, hey I'm ready for the ride."
"Might be coming off a little cocky or something like that but obviously you come to a program like Winona State, you expect those things," Vette said.19466092
That moxie has the Warriors three wins away form holding true to that promise, which nearly was never made. There was a time Vette thought about quitting basketball altogether.
"He had gone to a larger school, Iowa State, and coming from a small town like Waverly, Iowa, it was difficult for him to blend in," Leaf said.
"After I left Iowa State, I really didn't want to play basketball anymore and just wanted to go back home and work," Vette said.
It's a good thing Vette didn't quit. If the All-American and his Warriors win two more games, they'll be playing in Atlanta. For the first time ever, the Div. 2 championships are a part of the Div. 1 festivities.
"It's the 75th anniversary of the Final Four for Div. 1," WSU Athletics Director Eric Schoh said. "They wanted to make it more of a basketball festival and what they could do to make it an even bigger even than what the Final Four already is. The idea came forward to have the Div. 2 and Div. 3 championships be a part of that weekend."
All those years growing up, watching the March Madness tournament, watching the National title game, it would just be neat to be down in that same area, and to know you're a part of that," Junior Guard Taylor Cameron said.
For Clayton Vette, making it to Atlanta would be more than just a kept promise.
"That would be a dream come true," Vette said.
WSU plays Western Liberty Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in Louisville. The game can be seen live on News8000.com. If WSU wins, their game Saturday at 11:00 a.m. can be seen on MyNetwork, Digital Channel 8.2.

"I'm gonna lean up against you, and you lean up against me. That way we don't hafta sleep with our heads in the mud"Forrest Gump, 1994
Here's an interesting article about the free cell phones ... and how we pay for them through the "Federal Universal Service Fee" on all our phone bills. That's $1.35 on my phone bill. I've always wondered what that fee was for. I also pay a "Federal Subscriber Line and Access Recovery Charge" of $6.20 each month. I wonder what the heck that is for?!! The cost for my phone line, itself is only $6.87. Thus the Federal govt is taking as much in "taxes" on my phone line as the actual cost of the service! Does that boggle the mind?
"Obamaphones" actually should be called "Reaganphones" ... the program began for land lines under Reagan, when people could show "need" due to medical conditions, etc. There are now 12.5 million free cell phones out there. If there are 300 million in our population, that means about 4% of the population have free phones. Of course, if we assume that the population under the age of 5 probably doesn't need one, the %-age would be higher. We might also be able to eliminate all people in prison and in full-care nursing homes.
An enlightening article:
The article also raises the issue of the program soliciting participants with the name of Obama. The article reports that the website "Obamaphone.net" used to lead to the govt website for the program. The "Obamaphone.net" is now being taken down. This even riled a Democrat .. who was solicited for the program even though she is a multimillionaireJust how extensively has this program been marketed? Here is how one multimillionaire Democrat Senate from a swing state reports how she became a critic of the program.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., received a mailed solicitation last year informing her she was eligible for a phone, leading her to question the program.
"I am troubled by the expansive potential for the program to be abused," McCaskill wrote the FCC in December.

Two-handed casting 1-2-3
Just as a small tidbit of info...
October ROCKS here in Jersey. Things can get really good with lots of fish and lots of action on the beaches...so come on down!
Seriously, if there is anything I can do to help you and Drew get things set up for a Grand Finale Clave, just say the word.
Best regards,
Doc -
Andrew Moy of Tightlines Flyfishing and I have been discussing a Sandy Hook Clave during the fall migration. Might as well hit Montauk while there too. I have a number of events stacking up in September but if October is not too late it would work for me as a way to say good bye to the stripers until 2005. Sobering thought, eh? Thank goodness for Fly Shows!
We will definitely put on a two-hander clinic then. Also some big fly discussion and surf fishing technique demonstrations should be part of the agenda.
Anyone who would be interested in a Grand Finale Clave please reply. Sandy Hook / Montauk Grand Slam Finale Clave, early October most likely.
|Doc Duprey
Any Atlantis owners who would like to join in on these refinement workshops please let me know.
I for one would be VERY interested in such a workshop...I need to get ready for the fall migration and blitz city here in New Jersey!
Just let me/us know when and where.
Best regards,
|good idea! I should have my video camera back by then too.

Hi Juro,
When I come up in August if you me to bring pro digital camera to photograph hand positions and line control just let me know.

Great meeting up with you guys again.
The Airflo 35 ft type III head on the polyshoot Dick had felt light yet shot very well, in fact it was best to use a light touch to get the most out of that setup. The best way to maximize that shooting head's distance was to:
1) ensure a clean straight path of the rod tip throughout the stroke
2) load and unload the rod smoothly with acceleration, don't over power it
3) use the underhand pull a little more to keep it snappy (not too much)
4) stop the rod high and let the line fly further
The rod could handle a little more grains than that head but it was plenty to load it and the head shot well with very little effort at all provided the stroke was straight and the timing / angle good on the hard stop.
One note: starting too early forward from a backcast (creep) will take away from that initial load on the rod that gets accelerated forward... that start-up inertia is very important for maximizing the load in the rod coming forward thru the increasing acceleration of the stroke leading up to the stop. Get a strong enough backcast to straighten the line, but start loading against the backcast with your forward stroke before the leader jumps out straight but not while a length of flyline would still need to be straightened before the rod loads on the forward cast.
Alignment of the casting stroke is absolutely critical with two-handers. Use the hand on wall exercise I showed you to help teach your hand to track true, and don't forget to coordinate your bottom hand as well as the top. Things should improve dramatically as it does not take much power to get over 100' cast consistently with a clean stroke. Effort is minimal when the loop passes through a small imaginary cylinder in the air.
Practice both sides, and take time to perfect the backcast.
The SA Intermediate 12wt line Brendan had was a pleasure to cast and shot to the backing knot without much trouble. With 30ft of line it did not really load the surf-tamer but the nice thing was you could continue to aerilialize more line and get a smooth and full load into the rod before shooting the rest. Very nice feel to it.
This more-line casting style lends itself well to nicely tapered longer belly lines and feels quite natural. However shorter compact heads in various densities are sometimes better for throwing big flies, fishing fast deep rips, etc - especially when the fly is stripped in to the leader butt in order to fish it effectively. Both should be learned and practiced.
With two-handed rods the ideal loading and unloading of the energy would occur between 10:30 and 1:30 as opposed to opening down to the horizontal on the forward stroke. If the loading and release of the energy is on the forward half with almost a horizontal rod stop, the line goes forward with a larger "nose" (open forward loop). This larger shape is less wind resistant and does not allow for casting of shorter head lines which require an efficient shooting technique. Where almost any line can be cast effectively with a two-handed high stroke from 10:30-1:30 on the dial, the forward nose will only work well when enough line can be aerialized during the false casting build-up.
Because of the proper loading of the rod, the line was shooting out to the backing in this case, but again the shooting head would not have fared well and a headwind would kill that cast in it's tracks.
I would recommend to all two-handed overhead casters:
- Practice a 'perfect baby loop' with minimal energy and build up power slowly
- practice the Scandinavian underhand stroke to identify with your bottom hand
- practice a stroke that loads (low speed) well back of 12:00 and speeds up
to stop crisply at 10:30
A suggestion I would make is try to stay put where the rod stop on the backcast and start applying the load back there. Acclerate the rod over midnight and stop it sharply at 10:30-10am on the virtual clock to let the loop carry forth on a straight arrow path at a higher column in the air. Although coming forward and punching the loop ahead near the horizontal works with longer headed lines, the higher stroke will work with all lines (weight forward, shooting heads, spey taper lines, etc.) It will also ensure maximum distance shooting running line and lead to tight loop development.
I enjoyed and learned a lot in the exercise, especially that I need to work on a way to describe the circle-spey backcast to non-spey casters
My biggest take-away was that the basics are the most important part of casting two-handers, the rest is just acceleration and extending stroke. Get the basics and good casts just 'happen'.
Any Atlantis owners who would like to join in on these refinement workshops please let me know.
BTW - glad you guys liked the 9/10wt all-arounder.
Great! Sunday it is.
Please PM me with your phone contact info Dick - already have Brendans. I would prefer to meet in the morning since my better half has me tied up in the afternoon.
I would like to meet around Concord if that's OK with you guys. We can firm up a time based on both of your availability. 90 minutes to 2 hours should be more than enough for the first session. Depending on how things go we will have follow-ups until you guys are hitting peak form and distance.
I met with another Atlantis owner today for a tune-up and hit a 155 foot cast with him as a witness today. Details: I could only one time out of several tries, although 130-140 was pretty consistent, strong tailwind, 45 ft 650 grain shooting head with slickshooter 50# running line (115 ft) and a 10 ft leader to the backing knot. The setup totals 170 ft but due to loss of loop form after 140ft I am deducting 15 feet from total distance.
The head is only practical for fishing up to 120-125 feet in real life because of the problems with having too much running line in the stripping basket. Given a better basket... who knows.
Most importantly several key concepts were communicated that will improve his experience and abilities with the Atlantis. I look forward to the follow-up session to see if he is able to retain the adjustments, which require practice but have big returns on investment.
1) Introduced a smooth backcasting method that uses less power but more efficient energy transfer, not to mention a smooth and turbulence free shape to draw against for the start of the forward stroke.
2) Talked about the importance of straight rod path in two-handed casting, and tricks for tracking the rod tip via tracking of the hands. Also talked about vee-grip and stroke alignment, cleaning up hooking strokes and the wall trick. We used the freshly laid chalk lines on the soccer field as reference lines for line and rod tracking.
3) Stressed correction of power application - not enough of pre-load was occurring at the start of the stroke. The rod crept forward without a bend and the last part of the stroke had to produce all the energy in the speed-up and stop without the benefit of an early load to pull forth into it.
4) Talked about progressing thru three steps: (1) a low energy, high efficiency "clean" cast; then (2) smoothly increasing acceleration while staying clean; then (3) using an extended stroke with with increased acceleration.
Because the student was also a spey caster, he did not have much problem with line handling and his stroke was usually high and hard enough to propel a good loop well over 100' consistently. Even with the power application all at the end he rarely tailed because he was careful to apply the power below the tracking path of the line.
Two-handed overhead casting is first and foremost about a clean stroke, then it's about taking advantage of the power inherent in an IM8 11ft two-handed thunder stick to do more with said stroke. You can't use power to correct casting problems, but you can add a little bit of power to a clean stroke and get a lot in return.
Looking forward to meeting you guys on Sunday!
I am good for Sunday.
Hi Brendan,
Smitty called and we are working out dates that will work best for all. I will propose a couple of dates today and let him pick. This one is being picked up by Smitty so there is no charge to attend except a small organizing fee that pays for lunch (included) $20-25. It will be held in Kingston near the shop, you should call him for the other details. We will set the date today. There will also be a Spey casting class through them as well which is a paid class to be held on water. The two-handed class will be held on grass.
That is your schedule this weekend? I need to be back up north after the Big Brother Day so I hope to hook up with you and Dick Ivers sometime. Are you guys busy on Sunday afternoon / evening? Might have a third Atlantis owner coming as well. I would like to go through some new material with you to gather feedback.
Drop me a line if you can do something on Sunday, Dick that goes for you as well.
What is the date/details for the two-handed seminar at Rod Builders Workshop?
I typed a long reply here last night but checked for new messages and lost all the typing, my own fault. Anyway the crux of it was that working with any good distance casting video, like George Roberts video, would be a very good study toward getting the most out of the Atlantis. Most of the concepts are the same:
There are differences - line management, double hauling, and dealing with wind using a backhanded cast is very effective with a two-hander where pretty lame with a single. But the foundations are the same.
Anyway I have bribed my daughter to take some video for me early next week. It's gonna cost me!
Also, I am giving a two-handed seminar at Rod Builder's Workshop and will make sure that we get some footage.
...Juro you could take a few slo-mo vids and post them here or on the speypages.
Moose, I don't have an Atlantis but I will be putting some overhead casting video up on the speypages very soon...unless of course Juro beats me to it
Training sequence
I think you should approach a line making company and together with CND make a short video for sale that shows all of this. There's no substitute for SEEING it! As an Atlantis owner I'd be willing to pony up a few bucks to be able to get the most out of the surf tamer.

I work at a coal mine in Wyoming and if this bill goes through I see the coal companys reducing the amount of coal shipped by so much that there will not be enough to power the United States. We have already reduced our planned shipped tons by close to 20%. I really think clean coal technology is where the goverment should stick a large amount of money and when they find a way to make it cleaner and keep cost down for the consumer, then start looking at alternative energy sources. If this passes through the Senate this will bring a depresion that has never been seen in our country!

My wife and I had developed some close friendships with those folks, and we were sorry to see it shut down.
With that technology on the back burner, however, it wouldn't take long for it to be revived quickly. It just won't happen with the current crop of environmental crazies we have running the nation today.
The sad truth is, in today's environment and with today's technologies, we can make all drilling, mining, cutting, and self sufficiency easily realistic, if we didn't have the socialists constantly screaming all their negativisms.
It's just criminal how easily the libs can convince the sheeple that we conservatives encourage dirty water, and dirty air. If this current Algore bill that just passed the Congress gets through the Senate, and the costs start hitting them in THEIR pocketbooks, it might start sinking in they've been hoodwinked. I don't really believe that, but hellsbells, a guy can dream...for the sake of his children.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Just wait til GE/GS start trading the credits, it'll be more of a mess than the housing mess.

Google constantly leaves numerical puns and riddles for those who care to look in the right places. When it filed the regulatory documents for its stockmarket listing in 2004, it said that it planned to raise $2,718,281,828, which is $e billion to the nearest dollar. A year later, it filed again to sell another batch of shares -- precisely 14,159,265, which represents the first eight digits after the decimal in the number pi (3.14159265).Their famous recruitment campaign and their very name further reinforce the impression of their obsession with Mathematics.
A useful framework for security should provide:
The authentication framework should be able to able to plug into various authentication mechanisms (OS-based, LDAP-based, etc.), be flexible enough to accept various types of credentials (username/password, PKI certificate, etc.) and reliably establish the "Identity" of the user.
The authorisation framework should allow the specification of:
Role-based authorisation allows for the maximum flexibility compared to the direct checking of the Rights of the given Identity. An Identity could be associated with multiple Roles. Realms establish domains of privileges - for example, a person has administrator privileges on his desktop PC but is just an ordinary user on the LAN. Rights could be positively stated ("Allow Foo") or negatively stated ("Disallow Bar"). Authorisation could be inclusive (at least one Role associated with the Identity has the Right) or exclusive (no Role associated with the Identity should be denied the Right). I personally favour positively stated Rights and inclusive authorisation.
The auditing framework would be used for non-repudiation, so it should have integrity (only the auditing framework could have written out a given audit record) and an almost transactional association with the respective action (record an action if and only if it was actually done).
Of course, in real "enterprise" software we end up with various degrees of compromise on each of these aspects.
Peer to Patent
The US Patents and Trademarks Office will soon try out Peer to Patent as a pilot project. This is great news. It is really important for silly patents to get rejected upfront than be granted and then used to bully everyone into either paying up an extortion fee or engaging in costly lawsuits. Unfortunately, there is still the problem of lots of such silly patents having already been granted and used for corporate "defence funds" (an equivalent of the "Mutual Assured Destruction" strategy) or towards unscrupulous ends.
The Economist has a nice set of balanced articles on patents and other IP-related topics.
On UNIX-like systems, utmp and wtmp records are created and processed this way. I have also seen this kind of logging in IBM's AIX operating system and its CICS transaction processing monitor. Why then do several modern "high-performance" applications still insist on using the slower and more bloated method?
There is now a Planet GCC aggregating the feeds from Planet Classpath and the blogs of a bunch of GCC hackers. If you know of a blog of a GCC hacker that is not directly or indirectly aggregated here, please let Dan know. Thanks to Dan for this initiative.
The irritating thing about such laws is that they affect even non-US citizens, since other countries do not want to be seen as harbouring or encouraging "intellectual property thieves" and usually play along with whatever the US comes up with (except for the EU in some notable cases). Even more irritating for us non-US citizens is the apparent willingness of the US lawmakers to please corporates and various lobbyist groups in creating sometimes extremely draconian or irrational laws to the detriment of the fundamental rights of its own citizens (and the US citizens do not seem to mind all this very much). The appalling thing is that the magic word "terrorism" is used as a blanket weapon to silence killjoys who dare to question such travesties.
The proposed PERFORM Act is another example of what I am talking about.
QEMU USENIX Paper
Fabrice's USENIX QEMU paper is now freely available.
<script type="text/javascript"><!-- hideHiddenDivs( ); // --></script>where hideHiddenDivs() is defined as:
function hideHiddenDivs( ) { if( document.getElementById) { document.write( '<style type="text/css"> div.hidden { display: none; } </style>'); } }I could have put this scriptlet inline, but there seems to be a problem with the parser of the W3C validator tool which complains about a "</style>" that does not end a STYLE element.
A rant: I don't know much of HTML/CSS/JavaScript, but I really wish for the ability to "#include" files (for example, for page headers and footers) and to define macros (for example, to generate a news item's headline and content elements linked to each other). I know these can be overcome by using JavaScript and document.write(), but that's a kludge. I also know that these can be achieved on the server, but I do not want to depend on it - I keep moving my website from one (free) provider to another and I also like it to behave exactly the same way when accessed from my local filesystem as from a remote server. Note that we already have inclusion mechanisms for external stylesheets, scripts, etc. so this is not something too difficult to provide.
<noscript> <style type="text/css"> .hidden { display: block; } </style> </noscript>does not work since the W3C validator rejects it - NOSCRIPT cannot occur inside HEAD, but STYLE can only occur inside HEAD. The downside of my approach is that there is a short but noticeable and sometimes distracting phase under both IE and Firefox, where the browser loads and renders the full page and then hides the hidden sections. Isn't there a better way of achieving this while still remaining strictly valid?
#3 poses a slight problem in that I wish that even the "togglers" do not appear if stylesheets are disabled. I was thinking of iterating through the stylesheets defined for the document in the DOM and check if all of them are disabled and omit emitting the togglers if they are. Is there a better way of doing this?
#4 is automatically taken care of by the "solution" to #2, since only JavaScript is used to emit the togglers. The user still gets to see the entire contents.
Perhaps I'm just wasting my time as #2 and #3 are unlikely to happen with real visitors to my pages - #1 is what almost all human visitors are likely to have and #4 is what almost all search engine bots are likely to have. This impractical fussing might explain why I have not become a manager. ;-)

What should have been my Friday wasn't since I'm working 8 days in a row this week....boo.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
Went to Tulsa Oklahoma with my mom and sis. Found and bought "The Last Airbender" action figures, Aang, Zuko and Appa. These are the same size as Star Wars figures (3 3/4"). Some of their joints are kinda loose. How do I fix this? anyone know? I put them in the freezer, hoping the cold will somehow shrink and tighten the joints. They're okay otherwise.
Saw Toy Story III finally last night. Good film! A lil' bittersweet there in the end. I admit I was holding back the tears, . As a collector and a full time kid, I feel with Andy. Saw shrek Forever After on Friday. It was good, not great, athough I LOVE the fat kid at the birthday party. "Do the roar. Do the roar." (Shrek roars loudly)..."Ah luv you Daddy!" . So my weekend hasn't been all that bad.
"Dengar Ewoks!"
Ran, relaxed, read, cut grass and then worked! First time I've done that on a Saturday in four months aka JJB has a job again.
I worked on my Star Wars room quite a bit. I added a bookshelf, and moved the figures from The Clone Wars to a new spot so I could keep continuity with the realistic figures and give everything more space. It's coming along well, but I still have a ways to go.

My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Got gasoline for my automobile. Watched USA come up just short in their World Cup match. Saw Toy Story 3-D. Went to Claim Jumper for dinner.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Got about two hours of sleep at between 2 am and 4 am, then was up for more of the "Relay for Life" cancer walk. A thunderstorm approached forcing us to break down our campsite. Went to breakfast with my wife, then returned to the "Relay" and did some more laps. Attended the closing ceremony for "Relay" then drove home, tired and almost fell asleep at the wheel on the 2 1/2 hour trip home. Got home, unpacked the car, downloaded the pictures, posted on the Midwest Garrison website, collapsed about 6 pm, woke up at 9 pm, watched a special on the "Rush" documentary that come out tomorrow.

A couple of things from today...
I picked up my 2 framed posters and now have them hung. They look pretty good, and it really helps to cover up some blank wall. Looking at the new additions I was reminded of friends comments the first time they saw my collection, commenting that it looks like a museum.
I got SWG: Jump To Lightspeed today. A shelf label said it was 24.99 instead of the marked 29.99, so I got it since it was cheaper.
Stopped at TRU on way home. They had 1 VOTC Boba. Damn that looks good in the package! Picked up a silver Vader and "Defense Of Naboo" multi pack and headed to the register. I asked how much the Vader was and was told 9.99 (they were on pegs with the other VOTC figs). My order was rang up and since the Naboo pack was 19.99 I got Vader for free. Sweet. Almost bought the Playskool Stormtroopers just because they were cute looking.

Hello all!
I am back in NM and spring turkey hunting for the first time. Both of my boys are now old enough to hunt and both are excited to get a gobbler. I went down with some buddies to Lincoln National Forest on opening weekend, but it was extremely quiet...very little talking from the Gobblers. I did have a few hens come in close...but no Toms. I have since gone out a few mornings closer to home in Santa Fe National Forest near Jemez Springs, but again...no talking from the gobblers. I have tried locator calls, both owl and crow, to no avail so far.
If anyone can help point us to a location where there may be some birds up here in the Jemez...or elsewhere in the Santa Fe National Forst, it would be greatly appreciated as I would love to post a picture of me and my sons with a gobbler:)

Glory 17: Glory Prepares to Distinguish Itself As a Combat Sports Brand
- Written by Aneel Deshmukh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Glory 17 is a turning point for Glory in many ways, marking its entry into the American PPV market by staging the largest, most significant kickboxing tournament on American soil in decades. But even more noteworthy than that, this event signifies the opportunity for Glory to truly distinguish itself as a unique combat sports product that is capable of delivering where other brands may falter, particularly the UFC. The UFC's present difficulties are well known: problems with a ballooning roster, complaints about "boring" fights, and problems marketing fighters have led to great inconsistency in the quality of UFC events. Glory, on the other hand, has experienced few to no difficulties in this regard--and for very interesting reasons. In this article, I will talk about some of the things that I think make Glory a fairly unique entity in the combat sports world.
1. Each Glory weight class has more elite fighters than a single card can accommodate.
The Last Man Standing tournament is essentially a display of the entire Middleweight division, and it is a scary division, featuring Artem Levin, Joe Schilling, Simon Marcus, Wayne Barrett, Filip Verlinden, and Melvin Manhoef as well as dangerous contenders like Alex Pereira--all of these men are either champions, former champions, or fighters who have distinguished themselves against championship-level competition. Whereas some promotions might struggle to fill fight cards with less accomplished talent, Glory has the unique problem of struggling to fill fight cards with overqualified talent, bumping the likes of Levin to the non-televised SuperFight Series. If you ever find yourself wondering why a fighter like Giorgio Petrosyan gets to occupy the fourth slot on the Glory main card, it's frequently because any Glory card could offer you a choice of several main event fights.
2. Glory has complete control of the rules of the sport.
No matter how many three or four-letter-name sanctioning bodies Glory will claim accountability to, the fact remains that Glory, as an organization in today's combat sports market, is unique because of the complete control that it has on the rules of the sport. By frequently changing its clinch rules, its knockdown rules, and its 8-count rules, Glory has crafted and refined a viewing experience that is more fast-paced and exciting, producing a high volume of memorable fights and highlight reel moments. This is an ability that neither the UFC nor any other MMA organization possess, and the end result for them is a perpetual struggle to reconcile the Unified Rules of MMA with the type of fights that UFC wants to sell. Glory, by contrast, can eliminate any rule that negatively affects the viewing experience.
The flipside is that we also don't have to talk about drug testing in the sport of Kickboxing. Glory is in a peculiar position here as well, operating between the lines of an oversight structure that is very dated and arguably unequipped to handle a multimillion dollar professional sport. Indeed, WKA's official rules, published in 2011, leave drug testing up to the discretion of the "WKA supervisor, tournament promoters, and the official doctor," who "can and may perform tests" but don't necessarily have to do so unless directed by local law, making WKA's actual responsibility very unclear. The procedure, standards, and logistics of testing are either mentioned in vague terms or not outlined at all. Glory, for its part, hasn't forced the issue, leaving us to enjoy the fruits of ambiguity. In other words: don't ask, don't tell, and Pride never die.
3. Glory is learning how to market its fighters.
This is an issue that we've discussed several times here on LiverKick and which Dave Walsh expounded on in his excellent piece comparing kickboxing to the history of regional pro wrestling promotion. Behind every fight is an evolving narrative with at least two central characters, and as viewers, we're interested in not only the fight itself but also in how the fight will determine the next chapter of the story. The promoter's job is to build anticipation and interest in the fight and to illustrate what it means in the grand scheme of the division. With Glory 17, Glory has been proactive in producing media which tells us the story, including an excellent video on the rivalry between Rico Verhoeven and Daniel Ghita. The authenticity of this rivalry (for the critics' sake) is as irrelevant as the authenticity of the 2009 rivalry between Badr Hari and Alistair Overeem--it felt real at the time and it electrified the atmosphere at the Saitama Super Arena. As Glory gains screen time on television and PPV, promotional efforts like this will be increasingly vital to its success.
While Glory got off to a rough start, it seems like the organization has found its identity as a kickboxing promotion and major combat sports brand. It is undeniably a unique presence in today's sports entertainment market. If this event is a success and the Glory audience continues to grow, I think that Glory could become a leading company. Until then, you will have to join me in keeping fingers tightly crossed.

Re: Decrease in CA 19-9
Teresa, just re read about the trip to Italy. I vote for the trip, absolutely. First of all chemo just doesn't shut down, it continues to work for a couple of months, at least that is my understanding. If Dad is physically able I think its a wonderful idea. If you do this I would make sure to have a recommendation of an ONC where he would be going, just for caution purposes.
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

text: Quick clot is really only good for severe arterial bleeding. It's very difficult to use correctly. Unless you have lots of training on using it, I would ditch it. It can do more damage if it's used incorrectly. If you feel you know what you are doing, by all means keep it. As far as the tampons go, I would strongly reccomend getting rid of those. They actually do the opposite of what people think when it comes to blood clotting. Instead of allowing blood to collect and clot, they absorb it and pull it away from the wound, making the clotting process take a lot longer. They can hold a lot of blood! Just my 2 cents worth of experience, that's all. I'm glad to hear that you always have one with you! The gloves are a good idea. They can be used for all kinds of stuff (constriction,occlusive dresing, holding water, baloon animals, ect).

Site Detector Version 2
We have previously stated that we will be rewriting the site detector. We are glad to announce that the new site detector is now live.
The site detector that comes with UltimateDemon, BookmarkingDemon and ArticleDemon, have been totally rewritten. To update to the latest version, simply run the software and click [Download New Version] that is located at the bottom left.
Site Detection v2 uses the same DemonCore engine that powers the submitter. We now have A.I. built into the new version, enabling it to detect different types of sites with better accuracy. You will notice a drastic improvement when it comes to the detection speed.
On top of that, the new site detector now displays more information during the site detection process. You will be well informed on what is really going on.
You can take a look at the new site detector in action:
Do you know that once we have taught the site detector to recognize these new sites, you will be able to detect them without having to update the software at all?
P.S. If you come across any site that is not detectable, let us know and we will teach the A.I. on our end.
P.S.S. If you have any questions, please feel free to open a support ticket at https://support.edwinsoft.net and we will be glad to assist you.
P.S.S.S. Don't forget, we have a forum that you can share your knowledge with other fellow users at http://forum.edwinsoft.com

UltimateDemon Link Tree / Pyramid Sneak Preview
We are nearing the completion of our next major update for UltimateDemon and here is a short update on what to expect in the upcoming release.
Link Wheel? Link Tree / Pyramid?
We started off with the intention to implement a link wheel. But, after some deep thinking process, we decided to go for the link tree / pyramid approach.
Here is a sneak preview of how you can setup a link tree diagram in UltimateDemon:
Why Do We Pick Link Tree?
Commonly, people flood lots of links (articles, blogcomments, bookmarks, etc.) to their money site. They did not put into consideration on the fact that among these links, there will be a large number of low quality links that could hurt their ranking through direct linking.
A link tree structure allows a lot more flexibility when it comes to creating link diversity. In this new era of SEO, having link diversity is crucial. We will not be covering link diversity over here as the intention is to keep this post short.
From the above picture, you will see 2 arrows.
Orange arrow: Links from the top are sent to the bottom levels for link building.
Green arrow: Link juice from live links of bottom levels flow up and funnel into the money site.
You can build links not only vertically (by adding more levels), but also horizontally (e.g. by adding more tier 1 links to money site) to your money site.
Stay tuned. :)
The look and feel for the final product could vary when it is released.

Culver Target, nothing of note, geez what a broken record.
Today is Thursday, 2 weeks from the official start of Comic-Con. As per Maradona's idea, we should absolutely get together for an SDCC strategy meeting at some point in the next 12 days. I'd suggest the meet-up being after the SDCC schedule goes up, but that leaves us little room for error.
Folks from the greater LA area that are definitely going to the con:
- Maradona
- Figrin Bran
- Bikerscout
I think DarkKnight4516 is going too, he's invited of course.
EVERYBODY is invited, even if you're not going, but as this is part strategy meeting, it does require that we talk about SDCC during the meet-up.
I think Chaddy is still not going to SDCC. I think Tycho is going, but I doubt he wants to drive 250 miles round trip just to strategize things he's not even buying. Chux hasn't mentioned going, so he's probably out, same with BCJ.
Bikerscout has a particular set of requirements for meeting up times, but at this point I'm not sure what that would be, so I'll let him explain.
So, we need to hustle to get the where and when together.

Yesterday, Ben Bernanke told markets what they should have known: The Fed is not removing easy money any time soon. The fact that he put it so bluntly, however, sure got the market's attention–iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) has gained 4.4% to $39.19 so far today.
Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid explains what Bernanke said:
The overall message from Bernanke was one of reassurance that "highly accommodative monetary policy" will continue "for the foreseeable future". In terms of the Fed's dual mandate Bernanke repeated the message that the Fed was not on target on its employment objectives, and low inflation signaled that more stimulus was needed. There was additional emphasis on low inflation when he said that the Fed remained committed to defending both an undershoot and overshoot in inflation…He said the market volatility of the past six weeks could have been much worse if he had kept silent on their plans for tapering, misleading investors into thinking the asset purchases could go on forever.
But the Federal Reserve is not the only central bank making news. Those of Brazil, Indonesia, South Korea and Malaysia all met in the past 24 hours, with different outcomes. And while Bernanke is getting all the attention, it is these moves that could determine where individual emerging markets go from here.
Take Indonesia. Its central bank surprised markets by hiking rates a full half point, more than quarter point it had been expecting. HSBC's Su Sian Lim explains:
We view BI's decision to hike by an aggressive 50bps today as a positive move – given the inflation outlook, and more importantly, the weakness of the IDR and the bond market, there is only upside to be had from tightening more than markets had expected. There was nothing in today's statement or post-meeting comments to suggest that BI is done with the tightening cycle. To this end we remain comfortable with our call for the reference rate to be hiked by another 50bps to 7.00% in the coming months (and by implication, for the FASBI to be lifted to 5.25%). Whether this is delivered in one dose or two will hinge on the stability of the currency and bond markets at that point in time.
Marketfield's Michael Shaoul might disagree that there's "only upside to be had." He writes:

People who are actively undergoing cancer therapies or whose immune systems or overall health has been compromised by cancer treatments may choose to travel for a variety of reasons: business, vacation, even treatment. The key to traveling with cancer is to make travel preparations that will promote comfort, safeguard your health, and maintain your treatment goals as much as possible. Here are some tips to help make your trip smoother.
Before you travel, be sure to discuss your plans with your doctor. This is especially important if you have recently been diagnosed with
or are still suffering side effects ofchemotherapy or other treatment. Your doctor's opinion on when and whether you should travel is very important. If your doctor recommends against travel, be sure you understand the reasons for that recommendation. Consider alternative ideas if your doctor vetoes your travel plans.
Vacationers should carefully consider potential health hazards when choosing a destination.
Think about what kind of medical care is at your destination. You want to make sure that you can get care if you need it.
Plan ahead and get what you need ahead of time, such as extra leg room on a plane or a first-floor hotel room. You may also have to plan around your treatment regimen.
If you are traveling abroad, bring the emergency numbers for each city you will be visiting, as well as the numbers for the American consulate and embassy.
You should also ask your doctor for referrals to medical centers where the staff speak the same language as you and/or your traveling companion. In addition, it would be helpful if you and your traveling companion learn important words in the country's language. Words such as doctor, hospital, and cancer can help you to get assistance faster in an emergency.
Check vaccination requirements. Some vaccines needed for entry into certain countries may be contraindicated for those with cancer. People with cancer who are receiving immunosuppressive therapies, like chemotherapy or immunotherapy, should not receive live vaccines. Inactivated vaccines may produce a weaker response, thus diminishing effectiveness.
Those who had their spleen removed will have lower resistance to infection as well. In some cases, it may require traveling with antibiotics or avoidance of certain areas where an infection (like malaria) is common.
In some cancer treatments (like bone marrow or stem cell transplants), revaccination may be required six months after the last treatment. It is possible that previous immunity is lost during treatment.
Before your trip, contact your doctor to obtain the following:
You may also want to get a medical alert bracelet to inform people that you have cancer.
The following preparations will help you, as well as medical and airline personnel:
A risk for all airline travelers on long flights is developing
deep-vein thrombosis
(DVT). DVT is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins of the lower body, primarily the legs. The clot can migrate to the lungs causing potentially catastrophic complications, including
pulmonary embolism
or death.
People with cancer may be susceptible to blood clots, so walking around once every hour to increase circulation is encouraged. Your doctor may also recommend taking a blood thinner before the flight and wearing compression stockings. Discuss this with your doctor especially if you will be on a flight for longer than eight hours.
Also, while you are on the plane, remember to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of bottled water. It is also a good idea to bring meal replacement drinks and snacks in case you will not be served a meal on the plane. In general, you are able to bring food items that are wrapped through the security checkpoint. There may be restrictions however, and you should arrive well ahead of schedule in case of long lines. Before you leave, check the Transportation Security Administrations website for information on food and drink restrictions, and traveling with a medical condition.
Remember, too, that if you do not feel well on the plane, alert the crew right away. They are trained to assist in medical emergencies.
When you arrive at your destination, take these precautions to optimize your stay:
Once you return home, you should see your doctor for a check-up. Make this appointment before you leave for your destination.
Be sure to tell your doctor if you have any unusual symptoms. These may even occur months after you return. In some cases, you may need to see a doctor who specializes in travel medicine.
Sometimes travel is not due to vacation or business—it is simply a necessity to obtain treatment. If treatment is distant and costly for you, there are organizations that provide help when traveling for appointments. Some examples include:
The website
Joe's House
also provides information about lodging for people undergoing cancer treatment.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Although he's only been at Mississippi State for two months, receivers coach Tim Brewster has seen plain evidence of Tyler Russell's progression this season.
Over his last three games, the junior quarterback has been at his sharpest: 63 of 97 (65 percent) for 751 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions. That's the best three-game stretch of Russell's career.
He was 17 of 21 for 191 yards and three scores in last week's win over Middle Tennessee State.
"I just can't even tell you how impressed I am with Tyler Russell and his development as a quarterback just over the course of seven games this season," Brewster said. "Extremely composed. I think that's the No. 1 attribute a quarterback can have, is calmness under duress."
Brewster praised offensive coordinator Les Koenning with helping Russell improve his footwork and making reads on pass routes. And as he mentioned, Russell is hard to fluster in the pocket when the pressure is closing in.
"The other thing about him is he stares down the gun barrel about as well as anybody I've been around," Brewster said. "He'll stand in that pocket, and he'll look at that pass rush, and he'll deliver the football."
On the rise
As Russell goes, so goes MSU's offense, and that unit looks to be hitting its stride heading into Saturday's showdown at No. 1 Alabama.
The No. 13 Bulldogs have racked up 1,323 yards of offense over the last three games, their most prolific three-game stretch since the start of last season.
"I think we've gotten comfortable," Russell said. "The offensive line's doing a great job, the running backs are doing good, the wide receivers are catching the ball. For me it's just putting the ball in positions for people to make plays."
MSU's offensive line has yielded just six sacks, which ranks second in the SEC, and has opened holes for tailback LaDarius Perkins, the league's leading rusher with 724 yards.
State's coaches appear to be withholding judgment on the offense, which might be a good idea considering the stretch that's coming up, including games against Texas A&M and LSU.
"We're starting to get into the root of our schedule here," Koenning said. "I'll let you know here a little bit later. They've played well so far."
Head coach Dan Mullen, when asked about whether the offense and Russell are hitting their stride, said, "I guess. They've made plays, done what we needed them to do. I think he's – we're executing at a little bit higher level maybe than we have in some of those other games. We're not making the mistakes that really kill drives.
"That's why we've been able to score."
on the upswing
Russell's execution has increased dramatically. He was a combined 24 of 53 (45.3 percent) for 415 yards in wins over Troy and South Alabama.
Suddenly, he's more accurate and has squeezed the ball through some tight windows.
Brewster is more than willing to praise Russell for that.
"Either you can throw it where you want it as hard as you want it, or else you can't," Brewster said. "Tyler Russell can throw it as hard as he wants it, where he wants to throw it. He's an extremely accurate quarterback.
"He allows us to catch the ball and run with it, and that's what we want to do in this offense, is catch and run."

Why the lead sentence??Quote:
Over 80% of the women in this country support the right to an abortion. Taking such a stand against PP, an organization that provides needed medical services above and beyond abortion is part of the war against women. A war that does exsist within the Repub party and will cost them on election day! Maybe not in the deep south but certainly in the key swing states.
