Detail from Lawes' edition of "Fairburns Abstract of the New Metropolitan Police Act, Passed June 19th, 1829..."
From the Fall 2014 newsletter
New York Police Commissioner William Bratton has consistently stated that he follows Sir Robert Peel's nine principles of policing. These ethical standards of policing were set forth in early nineteenth century England and include the idea of community policing, the proper use of force, the protection of citizens, and proper and civilized ways that the police interact with the public. Peel, the "father of modern policing," was Prime Minister of Great Britain twice and a politician and statesman all of his life. Peel created London's police force in 1829. The first police were almost immediately termed "Bobbies" or less generously, "Peelers." The creation of the police force was promulgated in "The Metropolitan Police Act of 1829." This information is not new to historians of England or of the police. But we have found in the Warden Lewis Lawes of Sing Sing Archives in the Lloyd Sealy Library a unique "grangerized" edition of "Fairburns Abstract of the New Metropolitan Police Act, Passed June 19th, 1829..." This is an extra-illustrated copy of a common pamphlet. The term "grangerize" comes from James Granger (1723-76), whose five-volume Biographical History of England included many blank leaves so purchasers could illustrate the volume to their own liking. The technique was used as early as the 17th century, but the term "grangerized" stuck. Our fascinating copy includes Warden Lawes's bookplate (with the prison librarian bearing Lawes's likeness), a manuscript from Peel, an illustration of a "Metropolitan Police Man,", five steel engravings of Peel, and a colored engraving of a "Bobbie" questioning a young street urchin that he accuses of loitering (left). This outstanding little book illustrates once again the treasures found in the Special Collections Division of the Lloyd Sealy Library.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Fishing Creek in the Lamar area is where Joe ######### caught his monster state record brown (16+ lbs) in the late 70's night fishing in August. He caught it on a Black Harvey's Night Fly.
When I went to Penn State for a BS degree in the early 70's, I fished Fishing Creek and Big Spring a lot. And I grew up an hour north of Lancaster.
Alas, the steelhead bug has bitten me so badly that I almopt never fish for trout anymore. Steelhead a far more of a challenge.
I see. That is a most enjoyable way to catch fish.
I at first understood you to mean that you dropped a fly from above into a hole in the logs, where there would be wood all around, but now I understand.
There aren't many things more exciting than trying to muscle a good fish away from a snag - you just have to pray your knots hold up.
In most cases I was within 4-5 feet of the fish so I could see them take it. As soon as I saw the white on the inside of there mouth I would strike and get the rod sideways (under the branches) and yank them out from under the deadfall before they knew what was happening...then block them from the deadfall by standing in front of it and fight them downstream.
Got lucky with the big ones...I had a couple of them wrap me or break me off in the deadfall as well. Low stretch and abrasion resistance of florocarbon definitely helped here....
great report.
Now, when you hook a two-footer through a hole in the deadfall, how do you land it?
|That's a great report. I travel to the Lancaster area once a year on average but have yet to wet a line there. Having lived in NJ for all those years, you'd think I'd have made that trip.
|i pass throught PA every summer maybe one time i'll stop and fish
Limestone Country, PA
Just returned from 4 days of fishing the limestone creeks around central PA with Stephen a.k.a. FishyboyICU812. Drove up from Baltimore on Friday night with the expectation of finding a motel in the State College area...until we realized it was graduation weekend. Doh!
After a restless sleep in the back of the minivan, we made our way to Spring Creek in the AM. Drizzle had left the stream slightly high and chalky, but Fishyboy wasted no time in hooking up with a nice 16" wild brown. After toiling with a dropper setup for a couple of hours, I borrowed his new Winston for a test cast and on the first drift hooked a brown of at least 22" . I knew he was hooked when he jumped 2 feet out of the water right in front of me! Needless to say, I liked the Winston. All of these fish were wild and beautifully colored. A picture was taken and the fish was released.
Later in the day we moved upstream to the Fisherman's Paradise section of the river, the first Catch and Release regulated stretch of water in the US. The Sulphur hatch was fairly heavy and we both duped a number of fish on parachute and comparadun patterns. There were so many bugs on the water I actually had a couple of birds swoop down and pick up my fly off the surface!
Sunday was more of the same and we spent the afternoon exploring Fishing Creek near Lamar. Steve picked up a wild brookie drifting stoneflies through much faster pocket water than what we had experienced on Spring Creek.
Monday was back to Spring Creek where we enjoyed continued success catching large wild browns on a variety of scud, cranefly and sulphur nymph patterns. A number of fish including a huge, 2-foot long rainbow were caught by dropping nymphs through holes in the deadfall with only a copule of feet of tippet out. Very technical, very rewarding fishing.
Drove through the Carlisle area on Tuesday to find Big Spring farily barren compared to this time last year - a byproduct of the closing of an adjacent hatchery in an effort to restore the wild fish population. Instead, we headed to Falling Springs in pursuit of rare, wild Rainbows. Much of this trickle of a creek runs through meadow lands and fishing it effectively will test the skill, stealth and patience of any angler. I spooked a number of fish while stalking them 15 feet back from the bank on my hands and knees. Steve caught a brown and I caught my first wild 'bow on his deadly vanilla strip leech pattern.
All in all, 4 days of big, wild fish and challenging angling. I'll try to post pics next week if I can figure it out. Good thing I bought a season's PA licence - I will be back there soon

The first planet found with the aid of a telescope, Uranus was discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel. The seventh planet from the sun is so distant that it takes 84 years to complete one orbit.
Uranus Rings
Photograph courtesy JPL
Star trails streak across the rings of Uranus in this dramatic image captured by Voyager 2. The combination of unique geometry (it was taken from the highest phase angle at which Voyager imaged the rings) and a 96-second-long exposure reveals lanes of fine dust particles not visible from other viewing angles. These images and others captured by Voyager 2 in 1986 allowed scientists to identify 11 known rings around Uranus.
Uranus Haze
Photograph courtesy NASA
This computer enhancement of a Voyager 2 image emphasizes the high-level haze in Uranus's upper atmosphere. Clouds are obscured by the planet's overlying atmosphere, which is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Uranus's blue color comes from a small amount of methane in the atmosphere, which absorbs the red portion of the light that passes through it.
Uranus in True and False Color
Photograph courtesy NASA/JPL
These two pictures of Uranus—one in true color (left) and the other in false color—were compiled from images returned in 1986 by the narrow-angle camera of Voyager 2. The true-color image shows how humans would see the planet from the vantage point of the spacecraft. The false-color image brings out subtle details, such as a dark polar hood surrounded by lighter concentric bands. This banding could be haze or smog, concentrated over the pole and arranged into bands by movement in the upper atmosphere.
Uranus's Cloud Bands
Photograph courtesy NASA/JPL
These true- and false-color images, taken in 1997, show banded clouds on Uranus. The planet's atmospheric details are very difficult to see in visible light. The bulk (80 percent or more) of the mass of Uranus is contained in an extended liquid core consisting primarily of "icy" materials (water, methane, and ammonia), with higher-density material deeper down.
Uranus Moon Miranda
Photograph courtesy NASA/STI (Science and Technical Information) Program
The unusual surface of Miranda, one of Uranus's 27 known moons, is a jumble of haphazard features: huge fault canyons, terraced layers, and a mixture of young and old surfaces. Since the mixing of ancient and recent surfaces is rare in planetary geology, scientists have postulated two explanations for the different ages of the numerous valleys and cliffs on Miranda. One theory is that Miranda could have shattered as many as five times and was then reassembled. Another hypothesis is that upwells of partly melted ice forced new surfaces to emerge.

.............(h/t Mediaite.com): On Wednesday, testifying before a Senate panel, Holder was prodded repeatedly about this assertion by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). Holder eventually admitted that it would not be constitutional to execute an American citizen without due process.RELATED: Obama Administration: Yes, The President Can Drone Strike Americans On U.S. Soil…
"In your legal judgment, does the Constitution allow a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil to be killed by a drone?" Cruz asked Holder pointedly.
"For sitting in a café and having a cup of coffee?" Holder replied. Cruz clarified that his hypothetical individual subject to a drone strike did not pose an "imminent and immediate threat of death and bodily harm," but that person is suspected to be a terrorist.
"I would not think that that would be an appropriate use of any kind of lethal force," Holder replied.
"With all respect, Gen. Holder, my question wasn't about appropriateness or prosecutorial discretion. It was a simple legal question," Cruz clarified.
"This is a hypothetical, but I would not think, that in that situation, the use of a drone or lethal force would not be appropriate," Holder replied.
"I have to tell you I find it remarkable that in that hypothetical, which is deliberately very simple, you are not able to give a simple, one-word answer: no," Cruz added. He said he think that his scenario would constitute a "deprivation of life without due process."
Holder agreed and added that lethal force in Cruz's case "would not be appropriate."
"You keep saying appropriate – my question isn't about propriety," Cruz goaded. "My question is about whether something is constitutional or not."
When Cruz was about to abandon his line of questioning after a number of equivocations from Holder, the attorney general clarified that he was saying "no" such actions would not be constitutional.

Paul, an outspoken libertarian, pointed to what he called the abuses of executive power and civil liberties under Obama's administration.

At first glance, your guests will think this is creamed spinach. One bite and they'll be thrilled to find it's much more exciting than that. Kale, a hearty green, brightens potatoes that have been cooked in cream. Smooth and substantial, this dish is a welcome foil for pork roast with winter fruits or other roasted meats.
Leave a Review
I've been making this for years. I use 2% milk and i like the way it comes out. It is a great recipe but there is one trick that I use that is very helpful. I put the kale in the food processor by itself, first. This way, I don't have to worry about over processing the potatoes. I'll add the kale in at the end just as the potatoes are finished to mix it in well. Season with salt!
This is one of my most requested recipes. The lighter version with whole milk is ok, but everyone really prefers this as-is. Sometimes I'll throw in another potato to give it even more earthy flavor.
This was okay. Not bad... but pretty much a waste of fine ingredients. I used four bunches of kale which is not cheap. The results were fine, but not anybody's favorite dish. Just pretty mushy and reminiscent of baby food. I found that following the recipe exactly except for using extra salt and pepper was enough seasoning... the flavor was nice actually. However, I will not make this again just because no one was wild about it and no one wanted to take any of the leftovers.
Properly seasoned this is a great side dish. After reading the reviews I made two changes: I used part chicken stock, part water to cook the kale and I used only half the amount of cream specified to cook the potatoes. Because pureeing potatoes in the food processor is a bad idea, I mashed the potatoes in the pan with a manual masher then stirred in the pureed kale. The texture was good-not too runny and we both liked the dish.
I'm not rating this because I changed it so much, but I was happy with the results, so I thought I'd share. I was only making enough for me and my boyfriend, so I cut up and boiled two red potatoes leaving the skins and sauteed half a bunch of kale with olive oil and 3 cloves of minced garlic. After draining the soft potatoes, I pureed both together with some Mexican chicken broth I had bought on a whim and added fresh ground sea salt and coarse pepper. Then I mixed in some Parmesan cheese. I did add a bit too much liquid, so it was looser than I wanted, but it tasted great and took no time to make!
This dish is FANTASTIC. I think most seasoned cooks understand that you need to salt/pepper your food according to taste, so as long as you know the basics of adding salt... the finished product is to die for. I made it for Christmas a few years ago and have made it over and over again ever since.
I love kale and have cooked it a number of great ways but this is not one of them for me. It came out goopy and bland (a common complaint). I keep thinking I'll eat it but it's just sitting in my fridge. bummer.
I was ready to LOVE this recipe, but what a waste of fine ingredients! I can't believe the gruel that resulted. Even with the addition of butter and Parmesan, hand mashing the potatoes, and using every tip in the reviews this turned out a bland yuck that even a baby would spit out. I managed to eat the balance for lunch the following day with the addition of some spicy sausage. Sorry but no blue ribbon on this from our family.
This was a really nice way to use up some kale. I used whole milk instead of cream (all I had). I wasn't comfortable with blending the potatoes, so I blended the kale alone, then mashed the potatoes with a masher by hand right in the milk. Next time, I would use a ricer because the mixture ended up a bit too runny and I'd like to take some of the milk out. Oh, and I also cooked the kale in broth and added spices to the potatoes. But, overall I was pretty true to the recipe and really enjoyed it.
I enjoyed this - it was easy, a nice side dish. A bit bland, though. Go nuts on the seasoning.

Democracy and market reform are uneasily aligned in India today, and the additional reforms necessary to raise the lot of India's poor masses -- who have enormous voting clout -- may not garner a popular mandate at the ballot box. Although a long-term asset, democracy could prove to be a short-term headache for India's reformers.

Mozilla are looking for a Quantitative user researcher which sounds cool. The emphasis on user research sounds right up my street, particularly the need for mastery of experimental design and statistical analysis. It kind of takes me back to my PhD and work on SalStat (still going strong).
The problem is my covering letter. Can anyone here tell me what style of covering letters are preferred? Long and detailed explaining why I meet each of the requirements? The standard 3 paragraph ["intro", "I'm cool", "thanks"]? Or some combination in between?
In the meantime, I've released Roistr which does some basic semantic analysis / text analytics stuff. I put up some demos but it's hard to really show how useful this thing is. It's based on the open source Gensim toolkit along with numpy and scipy.
Scipy sounds like it's going places. Travis Oliphant recently announced an initiative to bring it to big data properly. I have an idea of what he means and it would be very cool.

Clothing drive, other activities planned
Posted December 6, 2006; 03:03 p.m.
Members of the University community will have the opportunity to
share the holiday spirit through a clothing drive and several other
community service initiatives being coordinated through the Office of
Community and Regional Affairs.
The clothing drive will benefit the Hire Attire Boutique, an organization that collects "gently used'' business clothes for men and women. University community members are being asked to clean out their closets in the coming weeks in preparation for the Jan. 17-24 drive.
Other activities include participating in a holiday gift outreach to "adopted" families and filling wish lists of items for infants through senior citizens provided by area agencies. For more information, visit the Office of Community and Regional Affairs website.
Those interested in donating clothing will be able to drop off items in the OIT Training Room at the Armory (Washington Road side) between 8 and 9 a.m. and 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. weekdays from Jan. 17 through Jan. 24.
Hire Attire is part of the New Brunswick-based Adult Learning Center. The clothing goes to people who are entering or re-entering the workforce after completing a New Jersey job training program. The organization needs all types of business and business-casual clothing in good condition including suits, dress slacks, khakis, dress shirts, collared casual shirts, blazers, skirts, sweaters, dresses, jackets, coats, ties, belts and other accessories. Donations are tax deductible.
The drive is being coordinated by the offices of the vice provost for institutional equity and diversity, community and regional affairs, and building services.
For more information about the community service initiatives or to volunteer to assist with the clothing drive, contact Erin Metro in community and regional affairs at (609) 258-5144.

The biblical scenes revealed from the shady walkways and spacious outlooks of this southern Jerusalem hilltop have turned it into a prime open-air Scripture "classroom." The hill's harsh name harks back to a Byzantine tradition identifying it as the place where the High Priest Caiphas and his colleagues decided to arrest Jesus (John 11:47-50).
From here you can see everything that makes Jerusalem a goal of Christian travelers: Mount Moriah is the centerpiece. To the west, Mount Zion rises from the Hinnom Valley (Josh. 15:8; Jer. 7:32). On the east is the Kidron Valley (2 Sam. 15:23; John 18:1), and the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14:3), with the Garden of Gethsemane at the foot and the Tower of the Ascension (Acts 1:11) at the top.
The City of David is before you, where Kidron and Hinnom meet. Rounding out this incomparable view is the Judean Desert, peeking out over Bethany.

Holmen grad Robert Burge ready for final Badgers game
LOS ANGELES - Holmen, Wis. High School graduate Robert Burge is one of nine seniors on this year's Badgers team. He spent the past two seasons primarily working on special teams, but this year, he's started four games, including the Big Ten Championship game against Nebraska.
"That was probably one of the best moments I've ever been a part of in sports," Burge said. "I can't describe how much fun it was to put 70 points on Nebraska and be part of an o-line that rushed for over 500 yards against that team."
Burge walked-on to play for the Badgers. At the end of last season ... he was awarded with a scholarship. This year, when fall camp arrived, the redshirt senior battled for a starting spot. He did now win that competition.
"The beginning of the season was a little disappointing, not starting the whole year, but I got my opportunity."
That opportunity arrived at the start of Big Ten season. Burge has started three of Wisconsin's past six games as the top reserve offensive lineman.17941402
"It's hard to get ready for games, getting ready to play every position on the line. If somebody goes down, you have to hop in at one of the guard spots or tackle. It's a tough job, but somebody has to be that guy and I was that guy this year."
It's unclear how much playing time Burge will receive in the Rose Bowl Game.
"I'm not entirely sure what will be happening. I know Kyle (Costigan) has been practicing. I've also been told that I will get a few reps. We'll see how it goes."
Regardless of how the playing time shakes out, Tuesday's game will mark the end of Burge's Badgers career.
"It's been quite a journey, nice way to end it out in California. Hopefully we get a win after coming out here a couple of times and coming up short."

BATON ROUGE – LSU coach Les Miles wasted no time in trying to attract fired Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron to his program last December. On Dec. 10, 2012, the day Cameron was fired by Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh, Miles reached out to Cameron. "I texted him immediately," Miles said Friday after LSU introduced Cameron as its new offensive coordinator in a press conference. "I think it fell together exactly right. How it came together benefited us. I wanted to bring in somebody who could make us better."
Asked if there might be any potential changes to his coaching staff, Miles said: "As you know, I'm not about to answer that question."
The longer you listen to Les, the easier it is to read the tea leaves.
makes sense. Let the Clemson game conspiracy theories begin!

SRM BB Mounted Sensor Cable
For all of the advanced technology built into an SRM PowerMeter, we struggle to name a single bicycle component that's more frustrating to install. Specifically, the source of SRM installation angst focuses on the power pickup of an SRM sensor cable. That's why there's the SRM BB Sensor Cable. The rubber banded Sigma Sport hootis that holds the sensor cable onto your frame lacks in micro adjustability, but that's exactly what this provides, since successfully picking up a constant power signal from a PowerMeter has a degree of difficulty akin to performing a kidney transplant. The SRM installation blues led to much improvisation, including folks gluing instead of banding the power pickup to their frames, which is great unless your pickup goes bad or you want to sell your frame, etc. A superior solution was an invention of our very own here an independent bottom bracket mounted power pickup bracket to which you attach the power sensor. It makes installation worlds easier. SRM took our BB mounted design one step further by re shaping its power sensor pickup altogether into a shape that snugly fits under your frame's BB cable guide. Aesthetically speaking, it's cleaner than our bracket, and for that reason it's a great choice certainly a better choice than a 1st generation sensor cable and a tube of glue. But please keep in mind that a traditional SRM cable in conjunction with our bracket allows for lateral and rotational adjustability, whereas this 2nd generation BB mounted sensor cable allows for lateral adjustability only. If you're fairly mechanically inclined, this new sensor cable will be to your liking. But if you're not entirely confident in your mechanical abilities, you'll probably prefer the 1st generation sensor cable in conjunction with our bracket. This cable is compatible with all models of the SRM PowerMeter. It is available with either the original or bottom bracket mount, and with a sensor for either the front or rear wheel.

Photographs From the Ongoing Turmoil in Greece
A riot policeman stands outside the National Technical University of Athens Tuesday amid the thick smoke caused by tear gas on Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2008. © AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris
Like much of the western world I've been reading about the current rioting throughout Greece, sparked by the December 6th police shooting of 15-year-old student Alexandros Grigoropoulos in Athens. The protests have received woefully little coverage in the North American media but are a monster story in Europe, where solidarity protests and even rioting have spread throughout Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Denmark and the UK. The unrest is an incredibly complex and significant event not just for Greece, but for the western world as a whole; indeed, it marks the first case of widespread domestic turmoil in a western democracy since the start of the current global economic crisis.
Admittedly, soon after learning about the riots my thoughts turned to imagining the photographs that would eventually surface. Right now there's a great 2008 Greek riots feature up on Boston.com with photographs from a variety of press agencies, while a cursory search of flickr returns a load of results. Both have the expected range of quality / approach and there are certainly some powerful images in the mix; however, I can't help but wonder if there's a fledgling Greek Koudelka out there somewhere, waiting to provide the as-of-yet-undiscovered definitive viewpoint — only time will tell.

By Tiernan Ray
T2 Partners's Whitney Tilson, who last year turned into one of the biggest bulls on Netflix (NFLX) stock, this afternoon dispatched a missive to the faithful, which included both a reflection on his birthday, today — happy birthday — and some thoughts about the news yesterday that Carl Icahn and partners have taken a 10% stake in Netflix stock.
Tilson has mixed feelings, he writes: He's hoping it amounts to something much bigger than a $100-per-share takeout, should such a thing be in the cards, but he's certainly not unhappy for the pop in the stock yesterday.
Here's the text of Tilson's view:
1) Very interesting news yesterday on Carl Icahn taking a 9.9% stake (sort of – see below) in Netflix, which I presented exactly a month ago at the Value Investing Congress (when the stock was at $54.44) – see attached slides, which are also posted at: www.tilsonfunds.com/NFLX-Tilson-Value Investing Congress-10-1-12.pdf.
I doubt he's taken this stake because he wants to replace management or thinks the company is squandering resources or pursuing the wrong strategy; rather, it's very simple: he thinks there are likely multiple bidders that would love to own 30 million paid subscribers, each generating $95.88 annually in revenue, for $100/sub (at the price a month ago; at today's price, it's $139/sub net of Netflix's $400M in net cash).
This is exactly the argument I made at the Congress – I said: "If someone puts Netflix into play, there will be the mother of all bidding wars." I could see the following companies showing interest: Amazon, Apple, Comcast, News Corp., Disney, Time Warner, Verizon, Google, and maybe even Facebook (and I'm probably missing a few). All have market caps at least TEN TIMES Netflix's, so it would be a bite-size acquisition for any of them. Given what a head start NFLX has and how Hulu has struggled to get a mere 2 million paid subs, I think it's insane for any company to launch a new competitor to NFLX because it would be FAR cheaper to buy NFLX.
I have mixed feelings about Icahn's stake. While I'm not complaining about the pop in the stock, I own it because I think it has multi-bagger upside potential, so I will be very disappointed if the company gets taken out at, say, $100/share. It would have to be a much higher price for me to be happy about giving up this stock. And if it doesn't get acquired, there's a risk that Icahn come be a real distraction to the board and management.
Turning to Icahn's stake, check out page 42 of his 13D filing (attached) – all sorts of interesting stuff.
Of the 5,541,066 shares he controls, only 1.25 million (22.56% of his stake) is common stock, with 500,000 shares bought in the last 60 days (and therefore the balance, 750,000 shares, sometime before).
The rest of his position, 4,291,066 underlying shares, is two-year (9/4/14 expiration) in-the-money call options (strike price of $36.05), 35% bought when the stock was around $55 in early September (paying an average price of $19.19), and 65% when the stock dropped to $60-62 right after the company announced earnings (paying an average price of $23.40).
Even more interesting, he sold the exact same number of puts, with the same expiration date, but we don't know the strike price or the premium he received. My guess is that the strike is somewhere around $55-$60.
Even more interestingly, while the calls he bought are American-style, the puts he sold are European style, so he's very sure the stock will be above the strike price on 9/4/14.
In short, it's a very bullish, leveraged bet, in which he wanted to maximize his reported stake while minimizing the capital at risk, but he didn't go too crazy by buying and selling short-dated options – he gave himself some time so that he can win in two ways: either the business gets sold, or he has two years for the performance of the business to drive the stock higher.

C/W W/W flyline
My two favorite lines here in the colder salt waters of the NE are the SciAng Tarpon Taper Intermediate which I use from June through Nov. as well as the Airflo clear cold saltwater intermediate lines. The Airflo line is a thicker line but casts very well in my opinion under all conditions. So does the Tarpon Taper. I have used both these lines fishing the Gulf in Southwest Florida in March when the water temp reaches 80-84 or so and neither line gets too limp to cast in the warmer temps. Of course, the Tarpon Taper is designed not to get limp. I've caught plenty of snook, big jacks, pain in the neck ladyfish, and even casted to big tarpon off jetties with both lines in big windy conditions and both performed well. I'd say, between the two, that the Tarpon Taper would cast just a bit better in Florida, as well as in windy conditions, BUT in the colder waters here on LI in April, May and November, the Airflo is the better all around line. When the air temp gets cold, the Tarpon Taper will begin to coil up on you. One line? I'd choose the Airflo. Good luck with your selection!
Warmwater/coldawter line?
I am looking for the best line I can fish for stripers in the northeast, but also use in the surf in Florida for snook, bonito, etc... Thanks in advance for any help

text: My question , why, another series maybe, or ? I once ran a five series amateur all- age. Last series was a water blind, orange ribbon where dog was suppose to get out. Just came from open, not explained to me, ran the water blind, dog carried beautiful line, got out about 5 feet early and got blind. Gave out three placements, did not give a fourth. If your on the business end of having placements tossed, kinda bad taste in mouth, especially in a all-age stake. One judge Applogized ,said his co-judge talked him into it, both eight point plus judges, hmm didn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy. There were more but that's an example, unless a dog doesn't get any of the chickens, what's the point, principal of it!? Or ? A QAA is hard enough in this age and a all-age placement or placements won't even respond.

I also subscribe to the SS Club but only to build up my supply for when I am ready to take the next step. Digital scrapbooking and PSE9 are still too new for me. I know someone will come along and be able to help you out. I do however think that they will ask for a little more detail as to exactly what type of issue you are having and what you would like to accomplish with the paper once you open it. It would probably also help to let them know what software you are using. Again, hang in there.
I scrap with PSE11

The free Scrapsimple Handbook contains lots of helpful information.
But like Patty says if you have a specific problem, let us know and what software you use and someone will be able to help.

Which would you rather have in a strategy game?
- Fixed unit damage (ie 8 HP per hit)
- Unit damage range (ie 6-10 HP per hit)
My thoughts:
Randomness always concerns me in gaming. I don't want a player to feel like they lost due to luck. Because of this, I currently have fixed damage. HOWEVER, I have been thinking about games like Axis and Allies or Risk and how terrible they would be if there were no dice rolls. If the team with the most units won every time, you would lose the drama of underdog victories or crushing defeats. The outcome of battles would be predetermined by the team with the most powerful (or most) units.
What are everyone's thoughts on this? Should there be some randomness to attack damage or should it be fixed? Should the team that goes in with the advantage win every time or should there be a chance for an upset?

His and co-driver Craig's teamwork impressed us all. These two were a great addition to the UA, and Matt blended in perfectly with the old cronies and their antics.

The French artist, Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947), was a successful painter, draughtsman, photographer, printmaker, illustrator and interior designer, whose work continues to surprise and attract new generations of art lovers. While Bonnard is represented in public collections in Australia, including the National Gallery of Australia, the current exhibition is the first in this country for more than 30 years to display Bonnard in depth.
Pierre Bonnard: Observing Nature seeks to reassess the art of Bonnard, bringing together more than 110 paintings, drawings, lithographs and photographs lent by leading art galleries, museums and private collectors world wide — most are being seen for the first time in Australia.
The exhibition follows Bonnard's stylistic and iconographic development step by step, beginning with a group of stunning interiors, street scenes, posters, designs for books and furniture from the period of the 1890s.
Work from 1900–20 onwards includes a number of outstanding nudes, among them the National Gallery of Australia's own Woman in Front of a Mirror c.1908. Portraits and group portraits include a gathering of Bonnard's relatives, The Terrasse Family c.1902, at the family home at Le Grand-Lemps. From this period also are large decorations painted for the artist's patrons in Paris.
The display continues with a group of Bonnard's mature interiors and enigmatic landscapes. These include Balcony at Vernonnet c.1920 — a superb view of the garden of Bonnard's new house at Vernonnet, a small village on the Seine west of Paris.
Contrasting with the northern landscapes, painted at Vernonnet and on the Atlantic coast, mature paintings and drawings from the 1930s through the period of World War II to the last years of Bonnard's life, give insights into an enormous output of work created in Le Cannet in the South of France — where Bonnard bought a house in 1926, and where he lived permanently from 1939 until his death in 1947. These works — predominantly still lifes, sublime nudes, portraits and lyrical Mediterranean landscapes full of light and colour — reveal that Bonnard in his last decades had achieved a balance between observing, capturing and translating nature into a symphony of vibrant colours and interrelated forms.
The artist noted in his diary on 14 February 1939:
Observe nature, and work on the canvas, indicating the colours: the climate of the work transcends all else. For Bonnard, art was the result of a deeply personal experience, a perpetual dialogue in harmony with nature.

Elephants on Parade Quilt
Hey everyone! We are back to tell you about our newest magazine quilt pride and joy, Elephants on Parade! It has just been published in the Winter issue of Quilts and More, and it could not have found a better home.
It's the perfect project to whip up quickly for a modern nursery, not to mention great for beginners. Our sample uses a pink elephant focal fabric and just a handful of coordinates from Play Date by Dear Stella Fabrics, but you could use anything your heart desires! The color option Quilts and More shows uses Don't Look Now from Riley Blake Fabrics, which works equally well for your resident car lovers.
Have fun with it, and we would love to see your finished quilts!

text: This is an isolated example, so even were this particular sample of sufficient size it wouldn't tell us a whole hell of a lot. That said, I'd like to see a study done that proves a positive-correlation between strict gun control and a reduction of homicides (per capita). Even if a positive correlation could be found, at what rate would the reduction of homicide justify the loss of individual liberty? Then there's the issue of whether not crime as a whole has been reduced by disarming law-abiding citizens. Once those issues have been addressed, you would then have to weigh it against the possible threat of tyranny (foreign and domestic). Even if one argues the chances domestic tyranny is low, almost a quarter of a billion people have died over the last century as a result of tyranny. In every case the citizens were disarmed. If a tyrant seized control of this country it would be almost impossible to mount a resistance with guns, because it would be an Orwellian Society. Needless to say, resistance would be impossible without guns.Originally Posted by FactCheck.org

Up early ran for 11 mins
Mani presented me with Beatles album - "Live At The BBC". Some of the songs there were never published later. The album goes out to define themselves. Some of those songs are so good, inspite of the sound quality not being so great. What you hear on these BBC tapes is immediate, direct, and unselfconscious, a sense of how alive rock could be in the moment before the world caught on to what these four voracious fans were up to.
Pretty buggy day at work - my /build was all very messsed up and it took me 4 hrs to be able to build panel, only to put in 2 patches which fixs mnemonics.
Hopefully I shall watch a good moview this weekend.

Google Removes Vital Privacy Feature From Android, Claiming Its Release Was Accidental
Yesterday, we published a blog post lauding an extremely important app privacy feature that was added in Android 4.3. That feature allows users to install apps while preventing the app from collecting sensitive data like the user's location or address book.
After we published the post, several people contacted us to say that the feature had actually been removed in Android 4.4.2, which was released earlier this week. Today, we installed that update to our test device, and can confirm that the App Ops privacy feature that we were excited about yesterday is in fact now gone.
When asked for comment, Google told us that the feature had only ever been released by accident — that it was experimental, and that it could break some of the apps policed by it. We are suspicious of this explanation, and do not think that it in any way justifies removing the feature rather than improving it.Many instances of apps "breaking" when they are denied the ability to collect data like a location or an address book or an IMEI number can easily be fixed by, for instance, giving them back a fake location, an empty address book, or an IMEI number of all zeroes. Alternatively, Google could document for developers that these API calls may fail for privacy reasons. A good hybrid would be to use fake data for old versions of the Android API and cleanly defined Java exceptions in the next API level. As with many other changes that occur across Android devices and Android versions, some app developers might have to do minor updates to keep up.
The disappearance of App Ops is alarming news for Android users. The fact that they cannot turn off app permissions is a Stygian hole in the Android security model, and a billion people's data is being sucked through. Embarrassingly, it is also one that Apple managed to fix in iOS years ago.
A moment ago, it looked as though Google cared about this massive privacy problem. Now we have our doubts. The only way to dispel them, frankly, is for Google to urgently reenable the App Ops interface, as well as adding some polish and completing the fundamental pieces that it is missing:
- Android users should be able to disable all collection of trackable identifiers by an app with a single switch, including data like phone numbers, IMEIs, information about the user's accounts.
- There should be a way to disable an app's network access entirely. It is clear that a large fraction of apps (including flashlights, wallpapers, UI skins, many games) simply don't need network access and, as we saw last week, are prone to abuse it.
- The App Ops interface needs to be smoothed out an properly integrated into the main OS user interface, including the Settings->Apps menus and the Play Store. There are numerous ways to make App Ops work for developers. Pick one, and deploy it.
In the meantime, we're not sure what to say to Android users. If app privacy is especially important to you — if, for instance, you want to be able to install an app like Shazam or Skype or Brightest Flashlight without giving it permission to know your location — we would have to advise you not to accept the update to 4.4.2. But this is also a catastrophic situation, because the update to Android 4.4.2 contains fixes to security and denial-of-service bugs. So, for the time being, users will need to chose between either privacy or security on the Android devices, but not both.
Google, the right thing to do here is obvious.

Where I stayed
Fiesta Purepeche
26 km/15mi
Alt. gain 179
We woke early and decided it was time to say goodbye to Patzcuaro. We planned our route along the east side of the lake to Quiroga 26 km/15 miles away. We picked this way so we could stop in the stone carver town of Tzintzuntzan, or maybe because it is a fun town to pronounce.
Our room was at the top a a 30 foot flight of stairs. It was a chore to haul our bikes up. But this morning, we would bounce the bikes down. The brake wasn't quite enough to hold the bikes weight back, so Michelle held onto the back while Dave steered. This would be about the toughest part of the day.
Tzintzuntzan dates to 1000 AD and was the capital of the Pur�pecha (or Tarasco) Empire when the Spanish arrived in the 1520s. It was second only to the Aztec Empire in terms of geographical size. Just off the main road behind the stone carving area, and just above the burial grounds, is an archaeological site of "yacata" pyramids of the Tarasco. Disease and death followed the Spanish arrival and Tzintzuntzan was allowed to decay. Today, it is estimated the population is less than a 10th of what it was in 1500.
As we left Tzintzuntzan, we pulled out the detailed instructions to our warmshower host near Quiroga. It was only at this time we realized that his place is on the west side of the lake and we were on the east. And quite away out of Quiroga. So we checked into a Quiroga hotel (Hotel Fiesta Purepecha) and made a call to Jorge and told him about our big mistake and we would not be going his way. He was gracious about it. We were able to park our bikes in the locked parking garage and we felt secure enough about it to leave most of our panniers on the bikes and only took to our room what we needed.
In Quiroga, we found the market and got in line at a busy Pozole stand. As we sat and enjoyed, the lady began packing up. She was soon sold out. We had gotten there just in time!

Slave Leia is always popular and Jabba has several goons now, plus there's the Boussh figure and Luke Jedi. The Jabba's Palace scenerio's looking good for the basic figures we voted for.
Sebulba and Watto will expand on the Prequel Trilogy set on Tatooine. We do have a Qui-Gon figure who might also include his desert poncho and Darth Maul is out already, too. Maybe now demand is building for the Kid Anakin not yet released?
Watto and Sebulba will both probably move slower though.
Ki-Adi Mundi could fight Snowtroopers for lack of PT Galactic Marines and Bacara, but I haven't really seen him pegwarm. Mace probably won't. But Bail Organa might. Still, he and Padme are about the only non-combatant figures voted for from ROTS (and Padme hasn't made the final list yet - see MSP's voting instructions above).
Cody will sell and can fight all the droids or turn on Obi-Wan and fight him.
Of course, you can recreate the Mustafar Duel when this wave is released, as we finally get ROTS Anakin and have Jedi Master Obi-Wan.
This is Star Wars, but Case 6 is the first case to include some kind of good or bad guy type of droid. We have not voted enough Droids as Essential Characters.
I have at least 2 more waves from our first 72 figures we chose without a single droid offered in it. (Yes, C-3PO and the Destroyer Droid are coming up in year 2, and I suspect both will be in demand when they're selected for the assortment).
