CUG T3E Workshop Review
[[ Thanks to Guy for this review of the CUG T3E Workshop, which was held 7th-8th October, in Princeton, New Jersey. ]]The goal of the CUG T3E Workshop was to discuss the past success of the T3E, in terms of the parallel applications developed, and the future of the T3E in general. The meeting was attended by a mixture of both users and site administrators from the U.S. and Europe, and this resulted in a healthy discussion of how best to utilize the T3E and its future, parts of which are summarized below.
On Thursday, speakers concentrated on applications and how these had been developed to get the most from the T3E.
Thomas Clune from NASA Goddard described how to get 100+ Gflops from a variety of codes within NASA and Jeff Brooks from CRI summarized experiences as a whole in a talk entitled "scalability 101". Both presented very interesting performance figures for applications on 1000+ nodes of a T3E, these varied from 600+ Gflops for real applications to a case of 1180 Gflops on a 1200 Gflop system. (The latter case was entirely cache resident so might fail the real application test, but it is always useful to know what is needed to get the ultimate performance from a system as this guides designers of future systems and applications.) Mike Merril, DOD, asked users how far they should be willing to go to get performance and offered some simple and safe tips on optimizations which would not require entire codes to be rewritten.
In the afternoon, James Lebak, from the MIT Lincoln Lab, described a project on how to make the T3E mobile and replace dedicated systems which are currently part of the AEGIS shipboard Signal Processing system. Returning to firmer ground and more established computational areas, speakers covered how they had developed optimized parallel codes for spectral atmosphere models and protein folding, looking at the very large and the very small.
The afternoon closed with two overviews, future T3E developments and Cray plans overall from William White, CRI, and a descriptionof the SNIA from SGI from Steve Reinhardt, SGI, both of whom were subjected to heavy questioning by the meeting attendees.
On Friday, matters turned to software to ease the cost of programming complex parallel systems with the desired algorithms.
Bob Numrich, CRI, presented a tutorial on Co-Arrays in Fortran and Bill Carlson, CCS, presented a description of UPC, an extension to C. There was much interplay between the two speakers in this session and some C and Fortran differences were debated with the audience joining in with much constructive debate on the future of high-level parallel languages and what is needed arrive at a better basis for developing parallel code.
Doug Miles, PGI, described how several sites were using HPF to ease the burden of developing parallel code on the T3E. Yang Wang, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, followed these presentations with a description of how to get one Teraflop out of the T3E, but note, this paper had the largest list of authors of any paper at the conference, so we assume it isn't as easy as it was made to appear in the presentation and took some teamwork. (This work was awarded the Bell prize at SC98.) The morning session closed with a description of the use of the T3E for plasma simulations by Zhihong Lin of Princeton. A common feature of all talks was that there was no "silver bullet" and the conclusion that really good parallel applications need good programmers and lots of effort.
On Friday afternoon, various computer centers described how they supported users' endevours through the configuration of systems. Tina Butler, NERSC, gave two presentations and covered key issues such as IO and scheduling, along with the challenge of determining if a change was actually an improvement. I described how ARSC uses a combination of this newsletter, personal contact, manual scheduling, plus other less subtle forms of persuasion, to promote the use of tools. Paul Burton described why the UK Metrological Office needed two T3E systems and how the mixture of both operational and research work was managed on the systems.
In conclusion, there is still much life left in the T3E as both centers and users continue to master the challenges of parallel computing. It is an interesting time for a variety of reasons, and out of such times often come the best futures. This meeting was a very useful moment to take stock of the T3E and how it has been used, and provided much input to Cray to guide future plans.

NAS MG Implementations?One of our readers has implemented the NAS MG benchmark code in ZPL. If you've parallelized this code using any method, please let us know. We might devote an issue to different approaches and their performance on the T3E. To get the serial and/or parallel MPI implementations, go to:
http://www.nas.nasa.gov/Software/Archives/and download the "NPB- NAS Parallel Benchmarks."
MG or "Multi-Grid" MethodsIt is sometimes easy to forget that there are alternatives to throwing teraflops of computing power at problems, that the human brain is still a wonderful tool, and that often a little thought can be a greater help that brute force.
One mathematical technique that offers both a faster and a better quality of solution is multigrid methods.
These methods are used to solve partial differential equations, and do so using linear time and space. In theory, solution times should show near linear scaling with the number of unknowns. This is a considerable improvement when compared with many conventional techniques. A good source of information on this technique is to be found at:
- tutorials, in particular a basic introduction to the method and a parallel tutorial.
- papers, including important references, latest breaking research, and a bibliography.
- newsletters with the latest multigrid news; you can subscribe on-line, if you so wish.
- actual multigrid codes as examples of the algorithm and its implementation.
- other methods which are associated with multigrid such as domain decomposition.
The "mgnet.org" site is maintained by Craig Douglas and thanks should be given to him for putting together such a collection of items and keeping it current.

Thanks to Barbara Herron, Kurt Carlson, Brad Chamberlain, Gene McGill, Alan Wallcraft, and Don Morton, all of whom surmised that there were non-printing character(s) in the file name. Each had a favorite method for finding them and/or deleting the file. Here are three ways to show nongraphic characters in a file name: ls od -c "od" prints nongraphic characters (including EOL) as octal codes or escape codes. Output is hard to read, but this is the only method that gives proof of trailing white space characters. ls -lb shows nongraphic characters as octal codes. ls -lq replaces nongraphic characters with question marks. Note that spaces will still be hidden. Removing the file: My favorite method uses the question mark wild-card character, which replaces exactly one character in rm, cp, or mv commands. You can copy the output of "ls -lq" directly into the "rm -i" command. To "rm" file names containing spaces or tabs, use wild-card characters yourself or delimit the spaces with quotation marks. Sample Session: (Note, \010 is the backspace character code. Sometimes, when the terminal or telnet session is misconfigured, backspacing can seem to delete characters, but actually leave them and introduce the backspace code itself into typed text. This is actually pretty common.) chilkoot% ls -l total 32 -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 2168 Oct 21 16:24 myfile -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 0 Oct 21 16:27 myfile -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 0 Oct 21 16:27 myfile chilkoot% ls -lb total 32 -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 2168 Oct 21 16:24 myfile -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 0 Oct 21 16:27 myfile -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 0 Oct 21 16:27 myvile\010\010\010\010file chilkoot% ls -lq total 32 -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 2168 Oct 21 16:24 myfile -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 0 Oct 21 16:27 myfile -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 0 Oct 21 16:27 myvile????file chilkoot% rm myvile????file chilkoot% ls od -c 0000000000000 m y f i l e \n m y f i l e \n 0000000000020 chilkoot% rm -i "myfile " cmd-3187 rm: remove myfile ? y chilkoot% ls -l total 32 -rw------- 1 testacct tstgroup 2168 Oct 21 16:24 myfile chilkoot% Expert Method: Use "ls -i" and "find" to delete the file by inode number, but be careful.

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Members of Hope Church – formerly First Evangelical Church – have worked their hands to the bone over the past two months to resurrect an old tradition, their musical dramatic celebration of the Easter story entitled "The Hope of Easter."
Holiday dramas, once a staple of the church and community, have not been enacted on the church's stage for over six years. But Worship Pastor Jon Ginn said this year they are bringing them back.
"I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who has lived in Tupelo for a while that doesn't remember the productions this church put on," Ginn said. "At the height of them, about 10 years ago, we were doing eight performances over six nights. Every showing was packed, and nearly full on dress rehearsals."
A tradition renewed
Originally, the drama ministry was the vision of director Tom Wilson, who found the medium of theater an effective vehicle for delivering the gospel. Ginn said the shows grew from their humble beginnings to being viewed by thousands of attendees.
When Wilson left in 2003, the tradition carried on another year before falling by the wayside.
"There were some changes in leadership and we were transitioning into a new building and the productions were just too much to continue," Ginn said.
After the completion of the new facilities, the tradition remained untouched. Ginn even left Hope church for a season, returning in 2011 to step into the role of worship pastor. It was in his first Easter back that he felt God tugging at his heart to revive the dramas of memory.
"I prayed about it. I wanted to make sure it was what God wanted, not just what I wanted," he said. "Last year's production was small. It was simple, but powerful, and I felt the need to expand it."
When the time was right, about eight weeks ago, Ginn gathered a crew of leaders together. He chose them for their skills – the talent for building sets, conducting music, directing actors – and ask them what they thought of the idea.
"They were ready to start that afternoon," Ginn said.
Hope Church's congregation was equally excited, and members lent a hand in any way they could. By Ginn's estimation, around 250 individuals contributed to the play's production in some part.
"We have two goals with this program," he said. "The first is to bring people to Christ through the Easter message. The second is to grow as a church family."
Featuring 14 songs, large sets, live animals, and elaborate lighting and sound effects, the 90-minute production would have been impossible to achieve without the collective effort of the church as a whole. Through rehearsals, set construction, and anticipation, Ginn said the relationship of congregants has broadened as well as deepened.
"That's one thing we really wanted to bring back," he said. "Anyone who was around during the old days could tell you about the family atmosphere at this church."
in the groove
Many leaders at Hope Church see "The Hope of Easter" as a sign that the church is finally finding its groove again after an uncertain period of internal shifts and rebranding. In 2007, the church changed its name from First Evangelical Church to Hope Church with the intention of dispelling denominational connotations. However, it would be years before the right pastor came to the pulpit.
"The excitement about 'The Hope of Easter' is coming on the heels of Scooter Noland becoming our lead pastor," said Mike Russell, media director for the church for the past four years. "When I came here the church was very quiet. We had a few pastors come and go, but when [Noland], one of our own, stepped into the role it just felt right."
Noland came to the church as a student pastor in January of 2009, but soon advanced to the role of associate pastor, where he remained until September of 2012.
"I think of Easter as an opportunity for new beginnings, to experience new life," he said. "I think of II Corinthians 5:17, which says, 'If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation,' and I think that speaks to a lot of what is going on here."
Brandon Wilemon, student pastor at Hope Church, said the energy within the congregation is tangible.
"There is this expectancy among the people here. They're eager for things like [the production]," he said.
Ginn agreed, pointing to the church's mission trips to Spain, Cuba, and Peru, as an outlet for the church's urging to enact its faith.
"Everything here is a team effort," Ginn said. "Together, we are working to put on this production as a gift to the community."
"THE HOPE OF EASTER" will be performed on March 29 and March 30. Doors will open at 6 P.M. and the program will start at 7 P.M. For more information contact Hope Church Tupelo at (662) 844-8522.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Darius Slay has been creeping up on Johnthan Banks in several mock drafts these past few weeks, but a reported injury could give some teams pause.
The NFL Draft begins today in New York, with seven rounds' worth of picks to be made over three days. The first round is today, followed by rounds 2 and 3 on Friday and 4-7 on Saturday.
Slay and Banks, a pair of cornerbacks from Mississippi State, have been consistently pegged as second-round picks in recent weeks. Banks, the Jim Thorpe Award winner, was getting first-round buzz at the end of his senior year, but a slow 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine seems to have hurt his stock.
Slay, who led MSU with five interceptions as a senior, has been rising up draft boards since playing the Senior Bowl and turning in a strong Combine performance, in which he ran the 40 in 4.36 seconds.
However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that Slay had suffered a torn meniscus this offseason. Schefter also wrote that Slay had a strong workout with Atlanta on Friday, and Slay later told NFL.com that he would not need surgery.
NFL.com's mock draft has Banks going 43rd overall with Slay going six picks later. Another mock, by Scouts Inc. for ESPN.com, has Banks and Slay at 50th and 51st, respectivly.
other hopefuls
Several other former MSU players are hoping to either get drafted or sign as free agents, including receiver Chad Bumphis, defensive back Corey Broomfield and linebacker Cam Lawrence.
Defensive tackle Josh Boyd is the only other Bulldog to show up on the Scouts Inc. and NFL.com mock drafts, as a late-round pick.

The central theme of the article is whether or not tech companies should continue try to grow their business, or should they decide to not compete with established industries. A specific cited example is that Apple created a net job loss through iTunes by ruining Tower Records. The summary makes it sound like the article is asking whether or not tech companies should feel bad for the fact people play Farmville rather than look for a job.

Australian Impressionism 1885–1900
By the time of the centenary celebrations of European settlement in Australia in 1888 we see daringly bright paintings of high noon, celebrating the intensity of Australian light. At a time when most Australians were safely established in large coastal cities, subjects of noble bush-workers and pioneers, especially the kind painted by Roberts and McCubbin, became celebrated not only in painting but also in literature. It was a growing response to Australian nationalism as settler generations of Australians from Europe began to feel very much at home and sought reassurance from art. They wanted art that understood and appreciated their own immediate landscape and history.
At the same time as the bush subjects, some of which were rather mythologised, there was delight in clear sunlight that flooded a new subject – the Australian beach. Although there had been coastal paintings in the colonial period it was not until the mid-1880s that beach leisure and sun worship became a crucial part of Australian life and art. Around the time of Australia's centennial, the extremes of coastal beaches and inland bush were celebrated in paint and pen as part of a new national consciousness. Bush workers, and bush and beach leisure-seekers became common themes.

Before surgery begins, you will be given general anesthesia. This means you will be asleep and pain-free during surgery.
There are different types of mastectomies. Which one your surgeon performs depends on the type of breast problem you have.
The surgeon will make a cut in your breast and perform one of these operations:
One or two small plastic drains or tubes are usually left in your chest to remove extra fluid from where the breast tissue used to be.
A plastic surgeon may be able to reconstruct the breast during the same operation. You may also choose to have breast reconstruction with implants or natural tissue later. If you have reconstruction, a skin or nipple sparing mastectomy may be an option. With skin sparing, the nipple and areola are removed along with the breast, but only a small amount of skin is removed. Nipple sparing mastectomy is removal of the breast, but leaving all of the skin and the nipple and areola.
Mastectomy will take about 2 to 3 hours.
The most common reason for a mastectomy is breast cancer.
If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, talk to your doctor about your choices:
You and your doctor should consider:
The choice of what is best for you can be difficult. You and the health care providers who are treating your breast cancer will decide together what is best.
Women who have a very high risk of developing breast cancer may choose to have a preventive (or prophylactic) mastectomy to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
You may be more likely to get breast cancer if one or more close family relatives has had the disease, especially at an early age. Genetic tests (such as BRCA1 or BRCA2) may help show that you have a high risk.
Prophylactic mastectomy should be done only after very careful thought and discussion with your doctor, a genetic counselor, your family, and loved ones.
Mastectomy greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer, but does not eliminate it.
Scabbing, blistering, or skin loss along the edge of the surgical cut may occur.
Risks when more invasive surgery, such as a radical mastectomy, is done are:
You may have blood and imaging tests (such as CT scans, bone scans, and chest x-ray) after your doctor finds breast cancer. Your surgeon will want to know if your cancer has spread.
Always tell your doctor or nurse if:
During the week before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
Your doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital.
Most women stay in the hospital for 1 - 3 days after a mastectomy. The time you stay will depend on the type of surgery you had. If you have a simple mastectomy, you might go home on the same day. You may be in the hospital longer if you have breast reconstruction.
Many women go home with drainage tubes still in their chest. The doctor will remove them later during an office visit. A nurse will teach you how to look after the drain, or you might be able to have a home care nurse help you.
You may have pain around the site of your cut after surgery. The pain is moderate after the first day and then goes away over a period of a few weeks. You will receive pain medicines before you are released from the hospital.
Fluid may collect in the area of your mastectomy after all the drains are removed. This is called a seroma. It usually goes away on its own, but it may need to be drained using a needle (aspiration).
Most women recover well after mastectomy.
In addition to surgery, you may need other treatments for breast cancer. These treatments may include hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. All have side effects, so you should talk to your doctor about the choices.
Jane and I wanted to thank you so much for the care you and your colleagues took of Jane whist in Mauritius. Everything went well and Prakash did a great job of getting us to your clinic and back over the 6 dialysis days. We had a wonderful holiday and our children and grandchildren plus the other family all enjoyed it enormously. Best wishes to you all

Apple Products To Outsell Windows Products in 2013
Worldwide devices (the combined shipments of PCs, tablets and mobile phones) are on pace to total 2.4 billion units in 2013, a 9 percent increase from 2012, according to Gartner; device shipments are forecast to continue to grow, reaching more than 2.9 billion units in 2017, but the mix of these devices will significantly change over the forecast period. "While there will be some individuals who retain both a personal PC and a tablet, especially those who use either or both for work and play, most will be satisfied with the experience they get from a tablet as their main computing device," said Carolina Milanesi, research vice president at Gartner. "As consumers shift their time away from their PC to tablets and smartphones, they will no longer see their PC as a device that they need to replace on a regular basis."
As a result, the traditional PC market of notebooks and desk-based units is expected to decline 7.6 percent in 2013, reflecting a "long-term change in user behavior."
Beyond that, it's looking as if this trend stands to benefit Apple far more than anyone else. In fact, Apple products on the whole are set to outpace Windows products in 2013, because such a huge portion of Apple's overall sales are in the mobile segment (iPad and iPhone). Worldwide tablet shipments are forecast to total 197 million units in 2013, a 69.8 percent increase from 2012 shipments of 116 million units. "Lower prices, form factor variety, cloud update and consumers' addiction to apps will be the key drivers in the tablet market," said Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner. "Growth in the tablet segment will not be limited to mature markets alone. Users in emerging markets who are looking for a companion to their mobile phone will increasingly choose a tablet as their first computing device and not a PC."

Stats & Data
[Opening music]
Zach Galifianakis: Sorry I had to cancel a few times.
I just…
Zach Galifianakis: …my mouse pad broke last week
Zach Galifianakis: and I had to get my great aunt some
diabetes shoes and uh...
President Obama: You know what Zach, it's no problem.
President Obama: I mean I have to say when I heard that like,
President Obama: people actually watch this show
I was actually pretty surprised.
Zach Galifianakis: Shhh… shhhh!
Zach Galifianakis: Hi. Welcome to another edition of
Between Two Ferns.
Zach Galifianakis: I'm your host Zach Galifianakis.
Zach Galifianakis: And uh, my guest today is,
uh, Barack Oba --
Zach Galifianakis: President Barack Obama.
President Obama: Good to be with you, Zach.
Zach Galifianakis: First question --
Zach Galifianakis: In 2013 you pardoned a turkey.
Zach Galifianakis: What do you have planned for 2014?
President Obama: We'll probably pardon another turkey-
President Obama: we do that every Thanksgiving.
President Obama: Was that depressing to you?
President Obama: Seeing one turkey
kind of taken out of circulation?
President Obama: A turkey you couldn't eat?
Zach Galifianakis: So how does this work?
Zach Galifianakis: Do you send ambassador Rodman to
North Korea on your behalf?
Zach Galifianakis: I'd read somewhere that you'd be sending
Hulk Hogan to Syria.
Zach Galifianakis: Or is that more of a job for Tonya Harding?
President Obama: Zach, he's not our ambassador.
Zach Galifianakis: What should we do about North Ikea?
Zach Galifianakis: [fumbles] Kor… North..
President Obama:
Why don't we move on.
Zach Galifianakis: I have to know,
what is it like to be the last black president?
President Obama:
President Obama: What's it like for this to be the last time
you ever talk to a president?
Zach Galifianakis: It must kind of stink though
Zach Galifianakis: that you can't run, you know, three times.
President Obama: No, I actually -- I think it's a good idea.
President Obama: If I ran a third time
President Obama: it would be sort of like doing a third 'Hangover' movie.
President Obama: Didn't really work out very well- did it?
President Obama: Now I have to say that
I've seen this show before and…
President Obama: some of the episodes have probably been
President Obama: a little bit better than this.
President Obama: You know, for example the one with Bradley Cooper.
President Obama: THAT was a great show.
Zach Galifianakis: [mumbles] Yeah everybody loves…
President Obama: He kind of carried that movie- didn't he?
Zach Galifianakis: W-which film are you speaking of?
President Obama: Uh- those 'Hangover' movies.
President Obama: He… basically he carried them.
Zach Galifianakis: Yeah- everybody loves Bradley.
Zach Galifianakis: Good for him!
President Obama: Good lookin' guy.
Zach Galifianakis: Being like that in Hollywood- that's easy!
Zach Galifianakis: Tall, handsome- that's easy.
Zach Galifianakis: Be short, fat and smell like Doritos
Zach Galifianakis: and try to make it in Hollywood.
Zach Galifianakis: Is it going to be hard in two years
Zach Galifianakis: when you're no longer President
Zach Galifianakis: and people will stop letting
you win at basketball?
President Obama: How does it feel- having a three inch vertical?
Zach Galifianakis: It's a three inch horizontal. [smirk] So.
Zach Galifianakis: Where do you planning on
building your Presidential Library,
Zach Galifianakis: in Hawaii or your home country of Kenya?
Zach Galifianakis: Because…
I mean both places seem like they would be…
President Obama: Zach, that's a ridiculous question.
Zach Galifianakis: Well, you know-
Zach Galifianakis: I mean not to bring up the
birth certificate thing
Zach Galifianakis: but you really never did really produce your real…
President Obama: Where is your birth
certificate? Why don't you show it to us right
Zach Galifianakis: I don't want to show
anybody my birth certificate
because it's embarassing.
- President Obama: What's embarassing about it?
- ZACH: [sighs] My weight on it.
Zach Galifianakis: It says that I was born seven pounds…
Zach Galifianakis: eight hundred ounces.
Zach Galifianakis: You know what I would do if I were president Mr. President?
Zach Galifianakis: I would make same-sex divorce illegal.
Zach Galifianakis: Then see how bad they want it.
President Obama: I think that's…
President Obama: why you're not president.
President Obama: And that's a good thing.
Zach Galifianakis: You said if you had a son
you would not let him play football.
Zach Galifianakis: What makes you
think that he would want
to play football?
Zach Galifianakis: What if he was a nerd like you?
President Obama: Do you think a woman like
Michelle would marry a nerd?
President Obama: Why don't you ask her…
- President Obama: whether she thinks I'm a nerd.
- ZACH: Could I?
President Obama: No- I'm not gonna let her near you.
Zach Galifianakis: So do you go to any websites
that are dot coms or dot nets,
Zach Galifianakis: or do you mainly just stick with dot govs?
President Obama: No, actually we go to dot
govs. Have you heard of Healthcare.gov?
Zach Galifianakis: Here we go… [heavy sigh]
Zach Galifianakis: Okay, let's get this
out of the way.
Zach Galifianakis: What did you come here to plug?
President Obama: Well, first of all I think it's fair to say that
President Obama: I wouldn't be here with you
today if I didn't have something to plug.
President Obama: Have you heard of the Affordable Care Act?
Zach Galifianakis: Oh yeah- I heard about that.
Zach Galifianakis: That's the thing that doesn't work-
Zach Galifianakis: Why would you get the guy who created the Zune
Zach Galifianakis: to make your website?
President Obama: Healthcare.gov works great now.
President Obama: And millions of Americans have already gotten
President Obama: health insurance plans.
President Obama: And what we want is for
people to know that you can get affordable
President Obama: Most young Americans right now-
they're not covered.
President Obama: And the truth is they can get coverage
President Obama: all for what it cost you
to pay your cellphone bill.
Zach Galifianakis: [sounding bored]
Is this what they mean by drones?
President Obama: The point is that a lot of young people-
President Obama: they think they're invincible.
Zach Galifianakis: Did you say invisible?
Zach Galifianakis: Because uh…
I just think like that's impos…
President Obama: No, no… not invisible.
President Obama: Invincible.
President Obama: Meaning that they don't think they can get hurt.
Zach Galifianakis: I'm just saying that nobody can be
invisible if you had said invisible.
- President Obama: I understand that.
- [Zach clears his throat]
President Obama: If they get that health insurance
it can really make a big difference.
President Obama: And they've got until March 31st to sign up.
Zach Galifianakis: I don't have a computer, so how does…
President Obama: Well then you can call
Zach Galifianakis: Uh- I don't have a phone.
I'm off the grid.
President Obama: I don't want you people looking at my text
President Obama: if you know what I mean.
President Obama: First of all Zack,
nobody's interested in your texts.
President Obama: But second of all,
you can do it in person.
President Obama: And the law means that insurers can't
President Obama: discriminate against you
President Obama: if you've got a pre-existing condition anymore.
Zach Galifianakis: Yeah- but what about…
Zach Galifianakis: …what about this though?
President Obama: That's disgusting.
President Obama: How…
how long have you had that?
Zach Galifianakis: Oh- just four months.
President Obama: Really?
- ZACH: Spider bites.
Zach Galifianakis: I got attacked by spiders.
President Obama: Zach, you need to get that checked right away.
President Obama: You need to get on Healthcare.gov because…
President Obama: …that's one of the most
disgusting things I've ever seen.
Zach Galifianakis: Is your plug finally over?
President Obama: Uh…
President Obama: …I suppose so.
Zach Galifianakis: So which country were you rooting for
in the winter Olympics?
President Obama: Seriously?
President Obama: I'm the President of the United States.
President Obama: What do you think, Zach?
Zach Galifianakis: I want to thank President Obama
for being on the show…
- President Obama: I'm gonna press this.
- ZACH: Uh- don't touch that please!
[loud buzzer sound]
[loud crashing noises]
Zach Galifianakis: Thanks for the interview and umm…
Zach Galifianakis: thanks for letting me shoot my show here
Zach Galifianakis: all of these years.
President Obama: You've been shooting these- these shows…
President Obama: …here in the diplomatic room?
President Obama: Who gave you permission to do that?
Zach Galifianakis: Bush.
President Obama: Seriously? Who gave him clearance?
Zach Galifianakis: Watch the spider bite!
President Obama:
That's the other hand.
Zach Galifianakis:
Eh, no- it's everywhere.

Are there any strange looking birds at your feeders this month? Keep an eye out, because this is the time of the year when finches from the North could leave their breeding grounds in the Boreal Forests in search of food.
When there is a shortage of natural foods, such as the seeds of coniferous trees in the North Woods, birds that depend on those seeds to survive the cold winter will irrupt out of the North, and head east, west and south in search of food. Some winters siskins have appeared at bird feeders by the millions across the U.S. and southern Canada. The same with common and hoary redpolls, and evening grosbeaks.
During years of these northern invasions, it is not uncommon to count 50 to 100 of these hungry finches in a single backyard. More regular northern invaders are the purple finches, dark-eyed juncos, and American tree sparrows. Less often seen are red and white-winged crossbills and pine grosbeaks.
Virtually all of these northern finches will flock to feeders containing sunflower seeds (in or out of the shell; black oil or striped), niger (thistle) and safflower seeds. Therefore, it is a good idea to keep a supply of these foods on hand. Once these northerners find your offerings, they may consume great amounts during a single visit. It has been some years since the last big invasion, so this winter could bring another onslaught of finches from the North.
-- George H. Harrison

When I was six, my class was given an arithmetic test at school. One question said:
"Write a story about the sum 12+4=16."
And I was confused about this, because it happened that I'd been away on the day when they explained about word problems. I had no idea at all what the question could be asking for. After several minutes of thinking, I wrote:
"One day, the sum 12+4=16 went out for a walk. Then it came back. The end."

Yearlong concert series showcases Mander organ
Posted September 14, 2009; 11:01 a.m.
A yearlong series of organ concerts highlighting the renowned Mander organ in the University Chapel will begin on Thursday, Sept. 17.
The series, which historically has taken place on Wednesdays, has been moved to 12:30 p.m. each Thursday while classes are in session. The concerts last 30 minutes and are free and open to the public.
University Organist Eric Plutz will perform the first concert of the season, which will include works by Guilmant, Dupré and Smetana, among others.
The organ was constructed and installed in 1928 by the Skinner Organ Co. of Boston. In May 1990, it was completely dismantled for repair and renovation. By December 1991, the Mander Organ Co. of London had restored the majesty of the English Romantic conception of the original organ, and revived the clarity and precision of its Baroque alterations.
Performers for the Princeton concerts come from around the country and the world, sometimes traveling great distances to play on such an instrument. The organ has 7,897 pipes, ranging in size from that of a short pencil to 32 feet tall.
A complete schedule for the series is available online or by contacting Plutz.

Sunny Morocco is famous for many varieties of stew called tagine. Meat or poultry is simmered in a clay cooking vessel with broth, vegetables, olives and spices such as cinnamon, cumin, ginger and turmeric. Our version is cooked in a large skillet, as the traditional clay cooking vessels are hard to find.
Cooking chicken with the skin on adds to the flavor, not the fat. Research has found that the fat doesn't transfer to the meat during cooking. So go ahead and leave the skin on—it helps keep juices in, creates more moist and tender met, and boosts the flavor. Then, once the chicken is cooked, remove the skin and throw it away to save on fat, calories and cholesterol.

Event Details
Jazz Artists of Charleston (JAC) announces programming for its 2nd Annual JAC Week, presenting five days of diverse programming and debut concerts to celebrate the work of JAC and the Charleston Jazz Orchestra, while raising awareness and funds to keep Charleston's jazz culture and legacy alive and thriving. In celebration of the first anniversary of the debut of the CJO Chamber Ensemble and the fourth anniversary of Jazz Artists of Charleston Day, as declared by Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. in 2010, the Charleston Jazz Orchestra Chamber Ensemble returns to JAC Week to present Duke Ellington's Far East Suite. The influential, nine-movement, 1966 jazz recording was written by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, and was inspired by the legendary Duke Ellington Orchestra's world tour, especially in South-East Asia and Japan. The CJO Chamber Ensemble presents the entire work in arrangements for septet, originally performed by members of CJO in 2011 in collaboration with Charleston Ballet Theatre for the "Ellington Experience." This year, the CJO Chamber Ensemble plays the piece with all of the power and excitement intact from both that performance as well as from A Suite Holiday, when the full CJO performed it in 2009. Duke Ellington's Far East Suite is a reflection of America's profound influence on the music of the rest of the world. The CJO Chamber Ensemble plays the work with Charleston's own place in that rich musical narrative in mind.
Showtimes are at 7pm and 9:30pm. $30 each. Order tickets online via bit.ly/ZCyvfu or call (843)641-0011.

A doctor who is treating a 2-month-old boy who was allegedly abused by his father called it the "worst case of serious physical injury she has seen in her career," court records say.
The father, Jordan Rittenhouse, a Navy sailor stationed in Groton, is accused of breaking 29 bones in his son's body. He was arraigned Friday at the courthouse on Broad Street on charges of first-degree assault and risk of injury to a minor. His bond was raised to $500,000 cash.
Groton Town police received a report Tuesday from the state Department of Children and Families on a possible physical abuse case.
The baby's mother, Krishna Rittenhouse, had taken him to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London Monday because he was not eating properly. The child was transferred to Yale-New Haven Hospital after doctors uncovered multiple rib fractures.
The DCF report indicated that Krishna Rittenhouse told doctors she suffers from calcium and iron deficiencies, and that could possibly explain her son's injuries.
But Yale's Detection Assessment Referral Treatment team said it was "highly unlikely the baby would have rib fractures as a result of brittle bone disease," the arrest warrant says.
Police interviewed Krishna Rittenhouse on Wednesday. She told investigators that she and her husband were married a year ago, but they have known each other for seven years. They lived in North Carolina before moving to 53 Deerwood Drive in Groton when Jordan Rittenhouse joined the Naval Submarine School at the U.S. Naval Submarine Base in Groton in January.
Originally from Rockwell, N.C., Rittenhouse, 24, entered the Navy in November, according to a Navy spokesman.
The couple also has a 2-year-old child.
Krishna Rittenhouse described the victim as "perfect baby" but said he had acid reflux and would become gassy if he was not fed properly. The mother said the infant was eating less and less, and on Saturday, she noticed that he was not eating regularly, the warrant says.
On Monday, she called the infant's pediatrician, who told her to take the baby to the emergency room.
She denied harming the baby. She said she never saw her husband harm the baby, but he did voice his frustration when he tried to feed the baby.
Police also interviewed Jordan Rittenhouse on Wednesday. He told police that he was under a lot of pressure to complete school and maintain a certain grade, but that he would never harm his children.
When police asked him if he ever got rough with the victim out of frustration, he initially denied touching the baby, but then said, "I may have squeezed him at some point, but I am afraid for my career. I'm just getting started in my career," according to the warrant.
Police spoke to Dr. Andrea Asnes about the child's injuries. She said the victim had 29 bone factures that had shown various degrees of healing. She said some injuries were consistent with squeezing while others were not, the warrant says.
Asnes told police "she was surprised the victim was alive," the warrant states.
When police interviewed Jordan Rittenhouse a second time, he admitted more. He said he squeezed the victim at least eight times so hard that the baby stopped crying. On other occasions, he said he squeezed the victim while holding him another seven or eight times.
He also said he shoved the baby's bottle into his mouth, causing the infant's mouth to bleed.
"Rittenhouse recalled one occasion when he squeezed the victim that he was concerned that he may have punctured a lung," the warrant says.
Rittenhouse's next court date is scheduled for Sept. 10.

Abdominal ultrasound is an type of imaging test. It is used to examine organs in the abdomen including the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys. The blood vessels that lead to some of these organs can also be looked at with ultrasound.
Ultrasound - abdomen; Abdominal sonogram
An ultrasound machine makes images of organs and structures inside the body. The machine sends out high-frequency sound waves that reflect off body structures. A computer receives these waves and uses them to create a picture. Unlike with x-rays or CT scans, this test does not expose you to ionizing radiation.
You will be lying down for the procedure. A clear, water-based conducting gel is applied to the skin over the abdomen. This helps with the transmission of the sound waves. A handheld probe called a transducer is then moved over the abdomen.
You may need to change position so that the health care provider can look at different areas. You may also need to hold your breath for short periods during the exam.
Most of the time, the test takes less than 30 minutes.
Preparation steps vary depending on the problem. Most of the time, people are asked not to eat or drink for several hours before the exam. Your health care provider will go over what you need to do.
There is little discomfort. The conducting gel may feel a little cold and wet.
You may have this test to:

Wash all the suspect materials in a mild solution of shampoo. Hang or layout on newspaper to dry. The materials will smell better, be softer to use, and be shinier. (No kidding!) If you use a bucket or laundry tub for the washing you will be surprised at the amount of grit and oil you will remove. Once when washing a pheasant skin I ended up with about a tablespoon of sand.
Members at the club to which I belong even follow up with conditioner on the squirrel tails - it is hair after all.
Salt and Borax
Salt and Borax are used to dry out various skins, might work for the mold, as well.
New guy with a question
Hi... new here!
I have been taking the fly tying lessons at LLBean and having fun with it but, never got around to buying a kit. Well over the weekend I scored an entire kit from a CL listing for $30. All the basic tools, lots of materials, all in a big 4 drawer Plano box.
Problem is when I got it home, I noticed a musty smell. In brighter light, I could see many of the bags the materials are in had mold on and some in them. I immediately rebagged everything and cleaned out the box.
The furs and feathers look clean and in great shape.
My question is... Is there a way to kill the mold on the skins? Its not really bad, but enough to still carry an odor.

Hey, what happened to that resolution to blog weekly about being entrepreneurial? Well, it's been a long few months: course mostly delivered; PhD student approximately completed (well done, Ben); plenty of extra time to actually be entrepreneurial. Before I sink back down into the mire of too much to do and not enough time, an update!
I went to the 4th European Lisp Symposium, held at the Technical University of Hanburg-Harburg. It was great. Compared with last year, when I was Programme Chair, and volcano eruptions closed most of European airspace, leading to scrambles to find alternative keynote speakers and general stress about whether there were going to be any attendees at all, this was a breeze. Sure, I participated by reviewing a few contributions, but the event itself snuck up on me – I found myself on the Monday remembering that straight after my teaching duties on Wednesday, I needed to dash to the airport to catch a plane. Very pleasant; thanks to Didier Verna and Ralf Möller for making things so smooth that I could just turn up and assume that the event would be running perfectly – I know how much work it takes to get to that point.
It was good to catch up there with some of the wider Lisp world; there were about 60 attendees, including a solid transatlantic contingent. I couldn't quite allow myself to relax completely, and so ended up giving a lightning talk about R – a useful warmup for my slightly more substantial talk (slides; audio recording appears to have failed) at the Zürich Stuff'n'Lisp User Group. The cuteness of adding two lattice objects together (in graphical presentation form) to get a new graph combining the two originals seems never to get old, though since it's in fact six months old I did take the time this morning to commit and push the accumulated fixes to my public swankr git repository.
Right. Back to work work
fun hacking.

Winter Shadows
These are the mornings of long shadows.
Of hunched and quiet walks to work, the subway, the bus. The days are short. We will return in darkness. In cold. Carrying the things we carry. The groceries. The briefcases. The handful of bills as we climb the stairs.
Remembering how, in the morning, we were long and tall, stretched and reaching. And tomorrow we will be again.
When the streets blaze with winter's sunlight slanting from the river, when the fire escapes are copper, and Con Edison's plume of smoke glows something kind of like gold.

This is heart-breaking, all of the mom and pop small business are disappearing - Vesuvio, and I still grieve for Jon Vie and Jefferson Market in my old hood (I moved to Brooklyn, of course). Recently it seems that Caffe, pane e cioccolato, the informal NYU meeting place, closed, very sad.

Local mobile home park residents are, or at least should be, keeping an eye on developments at the Del Rey Mobile Home Park. Their future may depend on it.
Last year, Del Rey residents found out their land was slated to be sold to a development company called Interstate. As mostly middle- and lower-middle-class workers who own their homes but not the soil it sits on, the Del Rey residents were concerned--to the point of taking action. They formed the Del Rey Neighborhood Association, began a letter-writing campaign and sent a strong message to the developers: Don't kick us out.
Fast-forward to the present.
Interstate backed out, as did another developer, though Equity Lifestyle Properties, which owns the land, is still interested in selling. At a recent City Council meeting, the city, Del Rey residents and Equity came to a standstill agreement over what to do with the land.
"No party will do anything until October or November," says Councilor Michael Cadigan, whose district includes Del Rey. "They won't sell it. We won't condemn it."
The agreement allows Del Rey residents to stay in their homes until a buyer is found who will allow them to keep their mobile homes on the property.
File this one under "If you build it, they will come." Workforce housing may be coming to town in the form of affordable housing and reliable public transportation. That is, if Albuquerqueans vote for it next year. You can thank City Councilor Debbie O'Malley for bringing up the issue, and Mayor Martin Chavez for signing the legislation.
O'Malley was the sponsor behind a bill that would, in her words, "put people where we put public dollars." It's targeted at neighborhoods, such as the eastern side of Central, that are already bus corridors and are ripe for redevelopment. Working-class families, according to O'Malley, can work and live in close proximity to one another, while their houses, built by private developers, appreciate in value.
But not by too much. Part of the plan is to impose resale restrictions (there are a few ways of doing this, O'Malley says), so the next wave of low-income workers can afford to live in these enclaves as well. Our tax dollars go toward infrastructure like drainage and sewage.
Mayor Chavez, who was unavailable for comment, made minor amendments to the bill before signing it, including asking the Council to revisit the legislation in six years.
There was some give and take on both sides, says O'Malley, but the end result is that we'll see it on the ballot in November 2007.

Neighborhood Identity
WoodridgeAs part of the Enhanced Rights of Way & Urban Boulevards Program, a new neighborhood identity sign, landscape plan and utility box wraps will be installed along north entry drive to Woodridge (Southeast Eighth Street and 121st Avenue Northeast) later this year.
The Woodridge Neighborhood Association Board of Directors offered initial input for the design in March 2012. Four sign options were designed and presented for review at the Woodridge annual meeting on May 17. Residents were given the opportunity to vote and to submit comments.
Neighborhood Entry Sign The conceptual design that received a large majority of the votes is shown. The construction drawings give size and materials incorporated comments received at the annual meeting. A curb or other deterrent to vandalism will be part of the next step in the construction documents. The sign will be located at the time of installation for best visibility and to protect the nearby tree. A suggested font is shown. Please suggest others that say "Woodridge" to you.
LandscapingThe landscape design is schematic and shows plants types to be incorporated into the final planting plan.
Utility Vault ScreeningThe PSE utility boxes will be screened as shown in the photo simulations. The shrubs will be similar in height and type to the original screening. The boxes are proposed to be enhanced with a simple leaf pattern that will blend with the plantings.
The Kelsey Creek Fish Viewing PlatformThe Utilities Department will install a safe place to view fish activity at Kelsey Creek as a separate project. Direct your comments and questions about the proposed platform to Kit Paulsen at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 425-452-4861.
We look forward to your comments and questions about the sign and landscaping. Please forward them via email to Patti Wilma at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 425-452-4114.
Lake Hills and Newport Hills / Lake HeightsThe city has directed resources to projects that enhance the unique identity of Bellevue's established neighborhoods. Two neighborhoods – Lake Hills and Newport Hills / Lake Heights – have worked with staff to develop comprehensive identity treatments reflective of their history and character.
Lake Hills residents selected a combination of themes for their Neighborhood Identity project. Landscaped entry signs at three key locations were designed to reflect the 1950s architecture that characterized the neighborhood's early development. Other treatments included significant improvement to the farm produce stand at Southeast 16th Street and 156th Avenue Southeast, reminiscent of the area's agricultural background.
More recently, the Lake Heights and Newport Hills community associations collaborated on design of landscaped signage at six key entry points.
Continuing to improve neighborhood quality, the city has launched the Public Art in Neighborhoods program. Artists are working with residents in two neighborhoods – Newport Hills/Lake Heights and Bridle Trails – to create neighborhood-oriented artworks.

TheDailyBeast.com: Private Islands of the Stars

| Billionaire Greek shipping mogul Aristotle Onassis is credited for kicking off the private-island trend in 1968 when he married Jackie Kennedy on Skorpios, his paradise in the Ionian Sea. Onassis' granddaughter Athina eventually inherited the island after his death, and flatly denied that it was up for sale in 2009 for a reported $170 million, amid rumors that Bill Gates, Madonna, and Roman Abramovich were all interested. A year later, Giorgio Armani beat out the other bigwigs and bought Skorpios for an estimated $190 million. Aside from tennis courts, lush gardens, and the Pink House villa originally built for Jackie O, the island remains largely untouched.

| British business tycoon Sir Richard Branson—who started his first entrepreneurial venture at age 17—began real-estate hunting in the Caribbean when he heard some of the British Virgin Islands were for sale. He set his sights on the 74-acre Necker Island, which he bought for roughly $293 million in 1979, just six years after launching Virgin Group. Three years and $10 million later, he had built himself a private resort, which he has since rented out to friends and celebrities like Princess Diana and Steven Spielberg. This July, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo were married at Branson's Edenic sanctuary. "We've vacationed there multiple times, and when we got engaged, we both immediately thought of the island as the perfect place to have our wedding," Lachey told People magazine.

| Johnny Depp allegedly fell in love with the Bahamas while filming his first "Pirates" film, and decided it was his destiny to wash ashore on his own private island. In 2004, he invested $3.6 million of his booty in Little Hall's Pond Cay, a secluded spot in the Exuma isles. He later boasted to the press that the island would run on solar power alone, but has since made it clear that the public—particularly paparazzi—would not be welcome at his ecofriendly retreat (he allegedly refers to it as "F--k Off Island").

| One island simply wouldn't do for world-renowned magician David Copperfield, so he settled for 11 small islets that make up the Bahamas' Musha Cay, where he began building a 700-acre resort in 2006. He quickly transformed it into a magician's playground with a Gilligan's Island vibe. He has described it as a place where he can "create magic in three dimensions," a resort that is part paradise, part eerie Disney World, with hidden drive-in movie theaters and dark passageways through the jungle that lead to a monkey village. Though the island's thatched huts can accommodate hundreds, only 24 guests are welcome at a time, for a cool $265,000 a week per person.

| Country stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are finishing up work on a new home on their private island of Goat Cay. Johnny Depp will be one of their neighbors, as Goat Cay is one of the Exuma Islands in the Bahamas. Their 17-acre island paradise will feature a 15,000-square-foot, four-bedroom house that comes complete with a lookout tower. Sound cramped? They thought so too. The island will also feature three smaller houses for their staff.

| Say what you will about Mel Gibson, he certainly has good taste in private islands. Back in 2005, the actor reportedly spent $9 million to buy Mago Island in Fiji. Not a bad deal, considering the island occupies a total of 5,400 acres. Even though he has a ton of space, Gibson has said that he will leave the island largely untouched except for the construction of a modest home.

| Leonardo DiCaprio purchased Blackadore Cay in 2005. The island—more than 104 acres—set him back only $1.75 million. It is very close to Belize's famous barrier reef. Remarkably, this island paradise will not stay private for long. The actor plans to turn it into an ecofriendly resort. The 80-room luxury resort will include private villas, spas, restaurants, and swimming pools.

| North Dumpling Island is the island home of Dean Camen, the inventor of the Segway. After a debate with the state over a wind turbine, Camen decided to secede from the United States. Of his decision, Camen said, "With one little house on the island, they decided it was residentially zoned. They said, 'You can't build any structure or any home more than 40 foot tall without a variance.' And I need a 100-foot tower." He calls himself "Lord Dumpling" when in residence. He also gave the island its own currency and maintains a single-vessel navy, though he signed a "nonaggression" pact with George H.W. Bush. Camen even built a replica of Stonehenge on the island—no private island nation is complete without one of those.

| In 2007, comedian Eddie Murphy purchased Long Cay for $15 million. The 15.4-acre island, also known as Rooster Cay, is only five minutes from Nassau. It is not clear if the actor plans to keep the island to himself or use it for business purposes, as it was originally marketed as a potential resort development.

| Celine Dion's private island is not in the tropics. Her island, Ile Gagnon, is located in Quebec's Mille Iles River. It features a giant French-style chateau and an equally impressive fence to keep out the overeager fans. But the house can still be seen from the river and popular boat tours.

Yesterday, in my Emerging Markets Roundup, I wrote the outlook on Indian rupee is grey.
Rupee hit another record low, passing the 65 versus a dollar mark today.
India's small-cap companies are suffering from RBI's tightening measures. The S&P BSE Small-Cap Index dropped 30% this year, lagging behind the S&P BSE SENSEX Index by 22%. Bloomberg reports:
Trailing 12-month profit in the India small-cap gauge has tumbled 77 percent during the past year to the lowest level since Bloomberg began compiling the data in 2006.
Wall Street Journal reports fear of a broad-based capital control is rising:
Those fears were inflamed last week after the central bank reduced the amount of money Indian residents and companies can send abroad, and limited the potential uses for that money.
The measures spooked foreign investors, who fear they presage broader restrictions to prevent overseas investors from taking money out of the economy.
Senior officials including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have sought to reassure investors and contain the damage. If the currency continues to depreciate, however, the government may be left with few alternatives to broader controls.
This is bad news for equities. Foreign investment managers may just freak and pull their money out.
Yes, S&P BSE SENSEX Index lost 6.8% this year, but it is peanuts compared with rupee's 15% loss. Dollar-based WisdomTree Trust India Earnings Fund (EPI) lost 23.6%.
Michael Shaoul, chairman of New York-based Marketfield Asset Management, which manages $13 billion, observes foreign equity money has stayed relatively calm and questions how much more patience foreigners have left:
Interestingly the current breakdown of the currency has not yet been accelerated by foreign investors selling equities, with YTD equity flows only dropping about $250 mm since July 15th and remaining strongly positive for the year at $12.19 bln. This helps explain the relative stability of the SENSEX, which has only fallen -7.83% in local prices. However, given that the USD loss is now -21.6% the patience of foreign equity investors cannot be assumed to continue if the currency experiences further losses.
Marketfield is betting against SENSEX.
On Monday, the central bank RBI said it would start buying long-dated government bonds on Friday to ease liquidity, reversing July's rates tightening policies..
Economists find the reversal of policies confusing. Normura Securities analyst Sonal Varma wrote a sharp critique:
The RBI seems to be doing its own version of operation twist. In our view, the problem is that the RBI is trying to juggle too many balls, which sends confusing signals and damages its credibility. Interest rate defense of the exchange rate is never a costless strategy, but policymakers are trying to achieve INR stability without sacrificing any growth.

First off I would like to say hello to everyone. You all seem very helpful and ready to aid the newcomer.
I have been reading the forums and articles and want some more advice. Here is my situation. I am hunting in Massachusetts where an FID card is needed to touch, posses, or look at a firearm. Thus, I will be bowhunting out of a blind. I have been granted definite access to a corn field of about 20 acres. The owner of the farm has a total of 500 acres in different locations. I am currently trying to confirm that I can have access to all of the fields.
Here are my issues:
1 - I have no experience
2 - I live 2 hours away from the location and transportation can be tough, possible rain on Saturday!
3 - I dont know where to focus the hunting.
My solutions so far are:
1 - To hunt out of a blind which will give me more room to move and make errors, to stick with just three calls that are hard to mess up (yelp, cluck, purr).
2 - Get in early in the morning and owl call to locate. I am going to try and get access to the rest of the 500 acres. Still deciding on hunting in the rain.
3 - Focus on the 20 acres I have access to which is corn field in between a road and a creek entirely lined with trees, then look at the pastures with less water access.
Any advice? How should I use those three calls? Where should I set up my three decoys, two hens and a jake? How do I even start owl calling, walk the entire property an hour or so before sunrise? Should I just focus on the 20 acre plot now or try and cover as much area with the owl call? If it is going to rain should I bail? I only have weekends as of now.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!
