Yellowstone pack trip advice
I'm planning a trip out west with my 19 yo son this summer (early July). We're already scheduled for a couple of days in UT with my buddy Greg, but then heading up through WY/MT...trying to do a bit of the trip spontaneously but thinking about a pack in (horse or hike) to Slough Creek or other good fishing site. Any suggestions on outfitters, experiences, what to look out for, etc. will be greatly appreciated.
Thx, Fro

These guys presented a slide show at the Chicago Flyfishing show. They look credible - and it got me enthused about a trip there.
Good luck -- sounds like fun
You might have some issues with water quality that time of year with the spring run off. Some rivers like the Lamar will not really be fishable. Any tail waters or bigger waters will be smoking like the Green or Mircle mile on the North Platt, or the snake river tribs which would be closer then Yellowstone. But Yellowstone is so beautifull at that time it is worth the trip. Slough Creek is still a great river but it is no longer a secret it once was. It is still worth the hike though. In the park I would think the lower rivers like the Yellowstone and the Gibbon would treat you the best. but I think they open mid July so you might be too early. It really depends what the spring is like. Firehole might be fishing good too. It will be toward the end of it's season. It is the coolest river to fish though.
PMD, Flavs, yellow sallys, maybe some salmon flies
I went out to YNP in 2003 right around the 4th of July, and people were telling me then that I was just a bit early for the 'good' fishing. I still had a great time. I've been to the shop for GYFF as recommened above and they run a great shop and can certainly give you what you're looking for, although its going to cost!! I also highly recommend you take a look at Randell Ziegler as a guide
His prices are low compared to other guides in the area that I checked on (not sure if he does pack-in trips tho), and his float down the yellowstone river is AMAZING. Randell also said I should try the Lamar river in the park but when I checked with a fly shop in Gardiner they told me the Lamar wasn't fishing well due to all of the runoff at that time of year. Slough Creek was fishable but was CROWDED - although at the time you're going it might not be too busy. I mostly stuck to the Madison River inside the park and had it mostly to myself and caught 'enough' fish.
If you've never been to YNP, plan on at least 1 day of NOT fishing just to get around and see everything. Have a great trip, its one you won't forget!
My family and I take two trips up to Yellowstone every year. We fish mostly the Madison and the Fire Hole. I don't remember ever having a trip where I didn't catch fish. Usually, about the forth of July, and some time in early Augest. Often the rivers are muddy and high during the first trip, but we still manage to do pretty well. The later trip is usually the better of the two. It's been a pretty dry year, so I doubt that it'll be too much of a problem. Catch a hatch, and your arms will fall off before the fish quit. The smaller waters, of corse, have smaller fish, but I seem to do better on them. The madison, in the evening, produces best for me. I don't fish the yellowstone iteself much, but I wouldn't discourage you from giving it a try. Lots of the little tributary streams may have small fish, topping out at 10" or so, but they have large numbers. It never hurts to pick a little stream, and go for a walk.
If you're looking for other good spots to fish, the mountains around Lander, or Dubois Wy, offer some great opportunities. If you're willing to do some hikeing, you can catch some wonderful scenery, and have a great day of fishing, weather permiting. If you're really lucky, you may even catch a golden trout or two, if your willing to spend half a day hiking. Cody has some good areas for fishing, too, but I havn't spent too much time there. The area near Saratoga has some good little lakes, and if you don't mind small fish, you can catch brookies by the hundred in the streams.
The Wind River/Bighorn provides exelent fishign in spots. I've seen browns up to 12# come out of those waters. Rainbows 9#+ and 5 or 6# cuts. Catching a 3# rainbow is common. Its close, so I know the waters pretty well. I lived in Thermopolis for 5 years, but the first summer I lived there, I walked down to the river, in town, and cought some pretty nice rainbow. They averaged about 1#, but I got some good ones just below the terraces, the largest being about 22".
My advice, plan a rout to drive, through the mountainous areas. Stop at the tackle shops in the areas that look good, and talk to the guys running them. They may not tell you the secret spots the locals fish, but the'll give you enough info to have a great time. Most fo them are just old fishermen who make a living with their favorite hobby, after all.
Yellowstone Jubilee
The Thorofare region of the park is absolutely spectacular that time of the year. The weather and runoff is obviously a huge factor for that time of year, but if we get an early runoff and if the snowpack stays below average on the caldera, you might be able to get in that time of the year with a minimum of residual snow on the ground. I backpacked into the Thorofare valley from the park side about five years ago the second week of July, and it was one of the harder packs of my life but well, well worth it. There are tons of side streams up there that are packed with cutties, and we got lucky with the runoff and had epic fishing. If I were going to do it again, I would enter from the Teton Park side and go over two ocean pass. That way is about the same distance wise, but is less undulating and has a more established trail the whole way. I've heard of people hiking in in one full day. That's pretty manly (about 18 miles), but doable, and the fishing could be unreal. The stories you hear about fish every cast and 20" all over the place are indeed correct, if timed right. I know there are numerous outfitters that go into the Thorofare region and could horseback you and your gear in then pick you up a few days later. If you have that kind of time and fortitude, and the elements look right, you will be in the game. Have fun whatever you decide to do.
Heart Lake in another good one and is less strenous (about five hard miles). I have done that, but I believe it might be closed until July 15th. Huge, huge fish and one of the highest bear concentrations in the park. Nothing like the extra element of death in your fishing. We don't have nearly enough of that. Enjoy yourself.
The Winds will likely be out of the picture at that time year, particularly for anything in the interior. The foothill streams might be ok, but I would imagine that they will be running high that time of year. The earliest I've been able to pack into the Winds is the second week of July. They are above average for snowpack right now so I would probably save that for a late July/early August trip.
I was out there three years ago right around the 4th - actually went all over the state in a 6 day trip. We did some fishing, but the water levels were iffy. My wife was with me and was not that enthused to wade very much in the faster flows - she did catch a beautiful bull trout at Rock Creek. If there is any wiggle room in the dates - then I would recommend August. The flows are down and if towards the middle of the month you should be into hopper season. I hope you have a great time - I can't wait to get out that way again - it is fantastic

Tomorrow the celebration of National Hunting & Fishing Days begins. At John A. Logan College in Carterville, IL the celebration has already begun and will end about 5:00 P.M. on Sunday. During that time thousands upon thousands of folks, many familiers, will visit and particpate in all kinds of outdoor activities. There will be bears, cougars and wolves, along with a fishing derby, dock dog contests, primitive camping, clays shoot, exhibition shooting, and several hundred vendors or all things outdoors.
Hopefully, you have similar celebrations near where you are and I'd encourage you to go out and celebrate our hunting & fishing heritage.

The number of teams and number of team members on each team will be determined by the number of forum members that sign-up; Teams will be determined mostly at random, but with some consideration for the experience and expectation of success of those that sign up to play. We want to have a mix of experienced hunters that will likely kill one gobbler (or more) combined with less experienced hunters that may not be as likely to harvest a gobbler.
The sign-up information will be used to categorize each entrant in the contest so that we can create teams of approximately equal experience and expectation of success. After all the entrants have been categorized, the teams will be chosen randomly from within each category as much as possible.
a) the winning team will be determined first of all by the total number of team members on each team that kill a gobbler. For example, if a team consists of ten members and each team member kills a gobbler and no other team accomplishes that, then that team is the winner.
b) First tie-breaker....if two or more teams tie, then the winning team will be determined by the total number of mature gobblers in each teams score from the above (jakes killed will be subtracted from the team score)
c) Second tie-breaker...if two or more teams tie in the first tie-breaker, then the winner will be determined by the total number of gobblers (jakes and mature) killed by each team during the season. (each team adds up the total number of gobblers killed by team members for the season)
Oath of Ethics and Participation: This contest is completely on the honor system. All forum members who sign-up must agree to compete fairly and ethically in the contest. Further, all that sign up are expected to participate fully in the contest and report on this forum as to their success (or lack thereof). Please, if you are in the contest, do not disappear on us!
It would be nice to have everybody post photos of their birds, and we would like to see a single thread where everybody posts pictures if they can get it done. However, picture posting is not a requirement. Please try to take good pictures to post...recommendations...clean the bird up, smooth the feathers, respectful pose with good background, hunter smiling, take in the sun (if possible) to show feather coloration, etc.
Dewey will be recording stats and scores for birds taken on another thread. That information will have no bearing in this part of the contest, but it will be interesting to see how everybody's birds scored. See the scoring rules if you do not know how to score your gobbler(s).
The contest will run until everybody who is participating in the contest is finished hunting this spring. I suspect the final tally will be made around the 1st of June, or thereabouts.
Most importantly,....have fun, and hunt safely and ethically!
Good Luck to everybody!

Brooms of Our Ancestors
The handle and other wooden parts for this broom
came from an original that Emil's uncle had made a long time ago.
Emil remembers using this type of broom when he was about 16 years
old to sweep the granary and barn. (A rough estimate would put that
about 75 years ago.) It is our good fortune that Emil still lives
on the farm and that there had not been a fire or auction sale.
Emil, "Danke Schön" a thousand times.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – No. 3 Mississippi State lost its identity over the weekend but plans to get it back soon.
Where the Bulldogs normally thrive, mistakes were made, and that cost them again Sunday in a 7-3 loss to Central Arkansas. That clinched the series win for the Bears (14-2), who did a lot of the things MSU normally does well.
State (17-2) hit into three double plays in the finale, and its pitchers plunked five batters a day after hitting six. And there were two errors in the field.
Reason for concern with the SEC opener against LSU looming? Not really.
"We'll be fine," senior pitcher Kendall Graveman said. "We've got a lot of leaders in the clubhouse, and we'll get this right."
Graveman (1-1) started Sunday and tossed 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits. He struck out seven and had his sinker working, but he also hit three batters.
Central Arkansas broke a 2-2 tie with two runs in the fourth inning, scoring on shortstop Adam Frazier's error and then on Forrestt Allday's two-out RBI single.
Baffled batters
At bat, MSU couldn't solve UCA starter Bryce Biggerstaff (2-0), who struck out three and allowed eight hits in his second complete game of the year.
Coach John Cohen said the Bulldogs "just forgot about what our identity is offensively the last two days. That part needs to get better quickly …"
MSU had chances to rally but hit into double plays in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. Leadoff man Adam Frazier was 0 of 4 with two strikeouts, and he hit into a double play after Brett Pirtle's leadoff single in the eighth.
UCA added three insurance runs in the ninth.
Mississippi State plays Southern Miss (7-8)at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in Pearl.

Famed civil rights activist Rosa Parks was born Rosa Louise McCauley on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her refusal to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a public bus Montgomery, Alabama, spurred on a citywide boycott and helped launch nationwide efforts to end segregation of public facilities.
Taught to read by her mother at a young age, Rosa went on to attend a segregated, one-room school in Pine Level, Alabama, that often lacked adequate school supplies such as desks. African-American students were forced to walk to the 1st- through 6th-grade schoolhouse, while the city of Pine Level provided bus transportation as well as a new school building for white students.
In 1932, at age 19, Rosa met and married Raymond Parks, a barber and an active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. With Raymond's support, Rosa earned her high school degree in 1933. She soon became actively involved in civil rights issues by joining the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943, serving as the chapter's youth leader as well as secretary to NAACP President E.D. Nixon—a post she held until 1957.


text: I have stumbled upon a water problem. I have a 9 month old lab that loves the water but not far out. I can throw marks out to 20 yards in the pond and she does fine but throw them any longer she goes about 5 to 10 yards out and turns around. And when I scold her she just cowers down to me and just shuts down. I've tried doing "fun bumpers" with her and it still not working. I think I started the problem by throwing my own marks so I got a buddy to throw them and we have been doing that for about a month now and nothing has changed. Also we don't let her come back without having a bumper in her mouth. Think it will change with age? Any suggestions would be a big help.

Police: West Central homicides not random
SPOKANE, Wash. - Police say a pair of murders in West Central Spokane were not random killings and that people living there don't need to be worried about their safety.
Major Crimes detectives say a man found shot to death at Cannon and Bridge last Friday morning had a criminal history and most likely died because of his illegal lifestyle. Meanwhile investigators feel a woman, discovered inside her home at Broadway and Nettleton, was killed by her boyfriend.
That woman was identified by the medical examiner's office Monday afternoon as Michelle Koenen. Koenen, 48, was strangled, according to the medical examiner.
Police have identified the suspect in Koenen's death as Tony Callihan, 48, an ex-con who officers consider armed and dangerous.
If Callihan did kill Koenen it could be his third violent strike.W. Central Homicides
"He's been around Spokane for years; a lot of officers have had dealings with him," Spokane Police Lieutenant Joe Walker said.
Records show he pistol whipped someone Christmas Day 2001; Callihan was released from the Airway Heights Corrections Center after doing time on an assault charge just last year.
"Mr. Callihan has been involved in a lot of different crimes. I know in my career I've chased him before. He's not one who will typically pull over and give up," Walker said.
Detectives think Callihan stole Koenen's car, a sea foam green or gray 2000 Dodge Stratus. He recently got a number of tickets in Pend Oreille County and may be hiding out there.
"We have sent the information to other law enforcement agencies in the northwest just so they know to watch out for this guy, because we've dealt with him for years and know how dangerous he can be," Walker said.
Police are also looking for the person who shot David Deponte in the head several times while he walked down a West Central alley Friday morning. Deponte also has a criminal history that dates back to 2002.
"It shouldn't be anything for people living in West Central to be concerned about their own safety, so if you're not a crook and you're not dating a crook you're good to go," Walker said.
Evidence and witnesses in these cases can be very fleeting and so investigators are borrowing detectives from the drug unit, officers from their PACT team, and even the US Marshals and Seattle Police Department have joined the search for Callihan.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (also known as Mustafa Kemal Pasha or Kamâl Atatürk; 1881 – November 10, 1938) was a Turkish army officer, revolutionary statesman, the founder of the Republic of Turkey and its first President. He was a successful division commander in the Battle of Gallipoli. When the Allies defeated the Ottoman Empire and arranged for its partition, he led a rebellion in the Turkish War of Independence. From Sep 9, 1923 to Nov 10, 1938, he was also leader of the Republican People's Party.
Atatürk deposed the last sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1922 and became president of Turkey in 1923. It is estimated that over 99% of Turks are Muslim [1], but Atatürk established a secular rule based on a strong military. He abolished Islamic courts and gave women the right to vote and hold government positions. As a result of his efforts, Turkey is the only Muslim country to independently hold democratic elections.
Samuel Huntington defines "Kemalism" as a response to attempts at "reconciliation of Islam and modernity', or to modernise Islam without Westernization.
The National Assembly which first convened on 23 April 1920 in Ankara was the first clue to the Turkish Republic. The successful management of the War of Independence by this assembly accelerated the founding of the new Turkish State. On 1 November 1922, the offices of the Sultan and caliph were severed from one other and the former was abolished. There was no longer any administrative ties with the Ottoman Empire. On 29 October 1923, Turkish Republic was formally proclaimed and Atatürk was unanimously elected as its first President. On 30 October 1923, the first government of the Republic was formed by İsmet İnönü. Turkish Republic started to grow on the foundations of the twin principles "Sovereignty, unconditionally belongs to the nation" and "peace at home, peace in the world," Biography of Atatürk

Wow! Has anybody else seen the brickshelf.com pictures yet? It looks like Yoda gets a saber in this one (I know many of you spoiler hunters already know this, but I've purposely kept myself out of the spoiler loop).
I think the set itself looks ho-hum, but we finally get a Yoda figure, with stunted knee-less legs no less. And doesn't the Count Dookie figure look like the Ben figure from the Landspeeder, but on the Jedi Luke body?
With sets like this, I wish Lego would just sell a pack of figures without the ships or other junk. Sometimes you can make up much better stuff with plain Legos than with what they pack in. I would love to get the Lego figures, but without having to pay the high prices for an unwanted set of Lego blocks.

This is similar to the "mia" (Missing In Action [Figure?]) thread here in Kenner: Vintage. What's out there that you've been looking for for some time? These don't have to be figures, in fact, better to keep figures out, so the other thread can get some hits. For me...
Open-Belly Tauntaun. It's getting harder to find one without a yellowed belly (scared? ) and less than $50!
Desert Sail Skiff Mini-Rig. I don't know why, but this "not-seen-in-the-films" toy has been a bit elusive for me. I have all the other non-POTF mini-rigs except it.
You got any more?

I used to back up from laptop to EHD. I then tried Carbonite. Not ony was it SLOW, it would not allow, on one account, for me to back up laptop AND EHD. Because I often move files from laptop to HD, I decided to make a homemade RAID. A RAID is a system of multiple hard drives. There are many configurations, but basically, a RAID spreads part of each file over all the drives. (The following system is not a RAID, but my own imitation, it is not automatic like a real RAID)
In a real RAID, if you have a file called Collection 1, part of it is on Drive 1, another part on Drive 2, and so on, following the number of drives you have. That way, if ONE hard drive fails (and it will), once you plug in a new drive, the other drives rewrite the missing information! Cool huh? This is accomplished through hardware controllers and software.
Well, I learned how to do that when I went to MCSE school. However, it is not so easy to build at home.
I made an improvised "Crabcakes RAID". I now have 4 EHDS in a rack my hubby made. Each is 1 terabyte. Two are identical. I have Drive 1 and 1A, Drive 2 and 2A. I and 1A are duplicates, as are 2 and 2A. So, when one crashes, I have a copy. I found it cheaper in the long run than backing up to Carbonite, and MUCH faster. I have a USB hub with its own power source (Best for that many large EHDS), that all 4 drives plug into. Then ONE USB cable to my laptop. My laptop sees all drives under My Computer.
When I download items, I store them temporarily on my laptop.
Next, in My Computer, I open each of 2 drives, and drag my new files over to 1 and 1A OR 2 and 2a. (I have them divided as to content in my own wacky system!). You could store collections on 1 and stray elements, papers, photos, etc. on the other. Dragging the files simultaneously from my laptop to the 2 EHDs is fast, and can go to both drives at the same time.
So, I have 4 EHDs, but in actuality, I have 2, as the other two are backups, and not really used.
Now, when one EHD goes bad, I have all my "stuff" on its mirror drive. I simply get another 1TB drive and copy the data from the existing drive onto the new one, and once again, I have backups.
I have a TON of photos, but if you do not, you can get by with 4 500G drives!
For me, this has worked out amazingly well! BTW, for Christmas two years ago, I told my husband I wanted a RAID. Since he did not quite understand, he bought me three 1TB external drives. I already had one, so three extra worked out quite well, as I have twin drives now!
For ME, this is the best system I have come across yet. I'd love to hear YOUR systems.

What an interesting concept. I would have never known about something like this if you hadn't shared. Currently I only have one 320GB HD and its not even full yet. I like the idea of your system and I'm gonna share it with my dad when he comes back from his vacation.

I work on a laptop and have two EHDs -- one just for photos and digi-scrapping supplies (500GB) and one for a full-system backup (1TB). As soon as I purchase products, I download them to a "Need Backed Up" folder. Once I accumulate a few kits, photos or other goodies, I burn them to DVD and then drag them to my "Photos and Digital Scrapbooking" EHD. Then I perform a system backup on my 1TB EHD. Once the files are burned/backed up, I move them out of the "Need Backed Up" folder. At the end of every month, I burn that month's photos to a DVD -- I don't delete any photos from my camera's memory card until I have burned them to DVD. So far, it's working for me. I feel better having copies of everything on DVD, but if all of my drives fail simultaneously, reloading from DVD's would take FOREVER!!
Posted 13 October 2009 - 01:56 PM
Sounds like a good plan to me - glad you found a way to back up your goodies - I don't like it when my EHD is backing up as I work - it slows me down - I much prefer just to add to it what I want added to it, but my computer guru set it up that way and until he comes back again ($$$$$$$$) I can't figure out how to change it - I don't really want everything backed up - just the things that are important to me.
Posted 14 October 2009 - 10:07 PM
I do something very similar to Jennifer. All of my scrapbook supplies are stored on a USB powered EHD (my Macbook isn't big enough to hold all of my supplies ). With a Mac comes the automatic full system backup program called Time Machine. I have another full size EHD that I use with Time Machine to backup my entire Macbook. As long as both EHDs are plugged into my Macbook at the same time, Time Machine will automatically backup my entire laptop and contents of the scrapbooking EHD.
Posted 15 October 2009 - 08:05 AM
I used to use Mozy as they provided EHD backup whereas Carbonite didn't but I like the idea of having a system independent of internet connection. Thanks for sharing your method.

text: It seems in last 6 months that the term RINO is being thrown around as a derogatory term, what exactly makes a politician a RINO? I would assume that someone like Roland Reagen, with his stance on banning assault rifles, amnesty for illegals, shorting prison sentences for inmates, cutting weapons, Reagen phones, compromising with Democrats, Union Boss, raising taxes etc..., would make him pretty much King RINO. Was a RINO like Reagen a good President, or should a guy like that be ousted from the party?

Legionella is an important respiratory bacterial pathogen in the United States (US), causing between 8,000 and 18,000 cases of community-acquired pneumonias requiring hospitalization each year. Inhaling or aspirating contaminated water aerosols are the leading sources of infection. Legionellae are ubiquitous in manmade and fresh-water environments where they replicate within free-living amoebae. Warm temperatures and biofilms support bacterial growth, and hot-water and air-circulation systems, hot tubs, and decorative fountains have been implicated exposure sources in communitybased outbreaks. L. pneumophila serogroup 1 is the most frequently identified serogroup among reported cases. Most cases are now diagnosed by urine antigen, which is highly specific for L. pneumophila serogroup 1, so that disease caused by other serogroups or species is less likely to be diagnosed.
Legionellosis is associated with two clinically and epidemiologically distinct syndromes. Pontiac fever is a generally self-limited, nonpneumonic, influenzalike illness whereas Legionnaires' disease is a common cause of serious bacterial pneumonia. The vast majority of reported legionellosis cases are Legionnaires' disease. Although most cases occur sporadically, outbreaks have been identified in nosocomial and community-based settings. Since its addition to national outbreak surveillance in 2001, Legionella has been the most commonly reported pathogen associated with drinking water outbreaks. Persons at increased risk for legionellosis include those of advanced age and deficient immune status.

Morioku investing in two US molding plantsComments Email Print
TOKYO (Dec. 10, 3 p.m. ET) — Auto supplier Moriroku Group is in the midst of two expansions in North America to make parts for Honda Motor Co. Ltd.'s U.S. operations.
Moriroku's Rainsville Technology Inc. is investing $3.3 million for additional floor space at its injection molding plant in Rainsville, Ala. The facility will also add 30 jobs to its current employment base of 450 workers.
The expansion was previously announced in June, when RTI received a tax abatement of more than $170,000 for sales and property taxes from the Rainsville City Council.
Tokyo-based Moriroku's Greenville Technology Inc. in Greenville, Ohio, is also in the midst of an expansion, investing $21.37 million to build a new injection molding plant in Anderson, Ind., which will also make parts for Honda.

For a Broadway show, contact is closer to Twyla Tharp than George M. Cohan. Tharp hit the street in 2002 with her own "dance play," Movin' Out, which was set to Billy Joel songs pounded out by an on-stage piano man. But Susan Stroman's 1999 contact, seen here in a snazzy revival by North Shore Music Theatre (through June 29), was first. The show — really three vignettes linked by a themes of loneliness, liberation, and play — won the 2000 Tony Award for Best Musical. Some were outraged, since nobody sings and the music, which ranges from Tchaikovsky to the Beach Boys, is pre-recorded. But whether contact is or isn't a musical, it is an original entertainment, and for all its synchronistic slickness, it's far from heartless. And at North Shore Music Theatre, where Stroman's direction and choreography have been replicated by original cast member Tomé Cousin, the balance between showmanship and human need is maintained. Some adjustments have been made to accommodate NSMT's theater in the round, but by and large, this is the contact Stroman made.
Commissioned to create an original work for Lincoln Center, Stroman and minimal-book writer John Weidman began with the title tale. They were inspired by Stroman's late-night meander into a meat-packing-district pool hall doing after-hours duty as a swing-dance venue, and by the Ambrose Bierce story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," where a man in a noose escapes into dream. And "contact," which comprises the entire second act, is the main event. The shorter first-act vignettes were invented to further the themes of "swinging" and the freeing power of dance.
The curtain raiser, "Swinging," is a brief dance sketch with a Pinteresque twist, inspired by the 1768 Fragonard painting Les hasards heureux de l'escarpolette and set to Stéphane Grappelli's jazz rendering of Rodgers & Hart's "My Heart Stood Still." In a sylvan glen, a servant pushes a peach-clad lass on a swing as her aristocratic admirer reclines on the ground taking peeks up her dress. Flirtation ensues, but when the boyfriend goes off to fetch more wine, the swing becomes a trapeze for a high-flying copulative encounter between lady and valet. It's a buoyant, gymnastic affair performed with soaring, ducking precision by Sean Ewing and Ariel Shepley before Jake Pfarr returns to add an unexpected flourish to the fantasy.
"Did You Move?" hurtles forward to an Italian restaurant in Queens circa 1954, where a bit of statuary from the first piece becomes part of the décor. Enter a Sopranos-esque couple out to enjoy buffet night, she a nervous talker swathed in gray-blue organza, he a grim controller sporting a glower. "Don't talk, don't smile, don't frickin' move," the husband (a brute Steve Luker) instructs his cowed wife before trudging off in search of manicotti. Whereupon she leans her head back, gracefully relaxes her shoulders, and takes off on the first of several madcap balletic escapes set to Grieg, Tchaikovsky, and Bizet, the headwaiter (a fleet, insouciant Matt Rivera) hurling his tray aside to partner her in fiercely whimsical pas de deux complete with lifts, jétés, and climbing up one's fellow diners. But for all the nimbly danced craziness, you don't forget that at the center of the piece is an abused woman whose emancipation is temporary and imagined. And if Sally Mae Dunn is not Broadway's Karen Ziemba, whose trembling arms evoked a pathos that was chilling, she's a lithe dancer who brings both piquancy and a comedienne's chops to the part.

There's no point beating about the bush, the Nokia E7 is in a funny old situation. Nokia has essentially put the brakes on developing the Symbian software upon which it runs, in favour of using Windows Phone for its future smartphones. This was bad enough for the otherwise impressive Nokia N8, with its magnificent 12.1 megapixel camera, but without this headline feature and an arguably archaic keyboard to add to its bulk as well, the E7 has a real fight on its hands. So without further ado, let's have a clean fight, no biting and gouging, and no pulling any punches. Ding! Ding! Round one!
Where the Nokia E7 doesn't disappoint is in its styling and build quality. Crafted from great slabs of aluminium and a large glass screen, the only rivals that come close to equalling the general feeling of quality are those built by Apple, and even then it's only really the iPhone 4 that competes. There's an argument for saying that if dropped on a floor it would come out just as badly as countless others but as a device to handle it is exceptional.
Slide the screen up to reveal the keyboard and this impression isn't dull for a moment thanks to a strong slide mechanism and beautifully crafted and laid-out keyboard. However, the slide action itself is a bit awkward. While we appreciate that having the screen rise to a more readable angle is beneficial, it does mean you can't deftly slide the phone open with one hand. Moreover, even two-handed the action is a bit fiddly and takes a little while to get the hang of without having the phone nearly fly from your hands.
Another immediate concern is the sheer bulk of the device. It's surprisingly slim considering it's packing a slide-out keyboard but the 4in screen and tough build combine to make this a hefty 176g beast with dimensions of 123.7 x 62.4 x 13.6mm (compared to 137g and 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm for the iPhone 4 - a phone that's already fairly heavy).
As ever Nokia has packed the E7 with connectivity and buttons. Straight away we applaud the move to place the main menu button on the front in the middle rather than off to the side as on the N8, but elsewhere it's a mixed bag. The power button on the top is tiny and recessed so is rather difficult to reach, while the slider switch on the left edge that locks and unlocks the screen feels superfluous. Yes, we appreciate some people find it useful but other buttons combine to perform the same function so it really isn't necessary. Conversely we do rather like the volume slider on the right edge and greatly appreciate the dedicated button for the camera that's also found here.
Also to be found on the right edge is the SIM slot, which uses an, again beautifully made, metal tray to house the SIM. Finally up top are sockets for headphones, microUSB (for data transfer and charging) and HDMI, for piping video straight out to your TV. - not something we'd do all that often but useful nonetheless.
For watching video on the phone itself, the superb, bright and colourful AMOLED screen works wonders. Colours just leap from it while blacks really are black. It's not quite perfect in that there's a lot of blue colour shift when viewed from an angle but for general multimedia it's a delight. For more precise work, however, like browsing the web or writing emails, the lower-than-average 360 x 640 resolution makes it a bit harder to see what's going on.
All in all though, it's a pretty good show so far. However, it's when we come to the software that things break down.

Movie transformed Punxsutawney's small-town tradition into world attractionJanuary 30, 2014 12:00 AM
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — For Katie Donald, Feb. 2 really is deja vu all over again.
"That's right, woodchuck-chuckers — it's Groundhog Day … again … and that means we're here at Gobbler's Knob waiting for the forecast from the world's most famous groundhog weatherman, Punxsutawney Phil …"
The lines are from the movie that helped turn a small town's parochial peculiarity into a worldwide phenomenon. In 1993's "Groundhog Day," Bill Murray famously portrayed TV weatherman Phil Connors, who, assigned to cover Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, finds himself living the same day over and over again.
But Sunday's event is no comic fantasy for Ms. Donald or the 5,800 residents of this Jefferson County borough about 90 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
"In Punxsy, Groundhog Day is not just one day, it's a way of life," Ms. Donald said. "It's what put us on the map, and we all have a responsibility to keep it that way."
Indeed, residents of "Punxsy," as the locals call their town, enjoy living in Phil's shadow. They've been doing it for 128 years.
The borough and the burrow
Ms. Donald is executive director of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, the agency that works year-round to keep the tradition — and the magic — alive. This year Phil is scheduled to make his prediction at 7:26 a.m. Sunday, the time the Farmers' Almanac says will be first light. If the groundhog sees his shadow, look for six more weeks of winter; if not, bring on the bikinis.
The town's unusual name and tradition are traced to the Delaware Indians who settled a campsite there in 1723, calling it ''ponksad-uteney" or "town of sand flies,'' a name reflecting how nature influenced their lives. Enter German immigrants who brought the tradition of Candlemas: "If Candlemas Day [Feb. 2] is bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year." By 1886, locals were carting out, if not the European hedgehog, the Marmota monax — the lowly groundhog of Western Pennsylvania.
Ms. Donald's take is a little more prosaic: "Winter is long and Groundhog Day makes for one welcome break."
This year's celebration actually starts tomorrow with events as varied as walking tours, cupcake battles and a formal Groundhog Ball. Saturday has a full schedule that includes the crowning of Ms. Groundhog and autograph sessions with celebrity meteorologists from The Weather Channel at the town's impressive Weather Discovery Center, where visitors at any time of year can "become" a tornado or "make"' a thunderstorm. At 3 a.m. Sunday, buses to Gobbler's Knob, on a windy bluff about a mile out of town, start pulling out of the local Walmart and other sites posted through town. A massive fireworks display heralds Phil's appearance — last year, at 8 degrees F, the fireworks appeared to crystallize. The celebration includes entertainment and food, but no children or chairs are allowed on the knob.
Ms. Donald is, like most associated with the celebration, homegrown, but she did leave town for several years to work in Florida.
"If you would have told me as a kid that I would have been planning Groundhog Day, I would have balked,'' she said with a laugh. "But now I realize as a proud native with deep roots, it was inevitable."
"I told you. I wake up every day, right here, right in Punxsutawney, and it's always Feb. 2, and there's nothing I can do about it.''
The price of fame
Michelle Neal of the Punxsutawney Chamber of Commerce said the economic impact of Phil is impossible to quantify. The town will swell to hold nearly 30,000 people this weekend.
"We can't put a dollar figure on this. It is not just our town benefiting, it is neighboring Indiana and Clearfield counties, too," she said. "Try to get a room anywhere near here in early February, sometime even in summer. Multiply that by visits to restaurants and stores …"
Indeed, next year the downtown will have a new Cobblestone hotel for the tourists Phil brings in all year.
At a local business, Punxy Phil's Cakes & Steaks, staff is setting up a big heated tent in the parking lot to help feed visitors this weekend.
"If there are 50 customers on a regular shift, there are five times that on Groundhog Day,'' said waitress Jordan Knox, a senior at the high school where students proudly call themselves "the Chucks."
The hyperbole brings in bucks, admitted Mayor Richard Alexander. He noted that the town, tucked in the Appalachians, thrives even in the shadow of a lingering recession. In its heyday at the turn of the last century, it was a coal, oil and lumber stronghold. The landmark Pantall Hotel downtown, now shuttered, was once rumored to be headquarters for East Coast diamond traders. But the reliable employers these days are the hospitals, schools and a number of machine shops tucked into the leafy landscape.
"The tourists come and go; we stay," the mayor said of the deep roots of the hometown crowd that keep the population steady.
The expenses for the borough's Groundhog Day activities are covered by sponsors and a perpetual loop of fundraisers held by the several nonprofits that coordinate them. Volunteers do most of the work. No tax dollars are involved, Mr. Alexander emphasized, except for any overtime incurred by borough police.
Shadow seen round the world
Visitors already were pulling into town last week.
"Punxsy has made the bucket list for a lot of folks,'' Ms. Neal said.
Last year, students from Africa and Brazil turned up along with a film crew from the region of the former Czechoslovakia, she said.
"And it's not for just one day,'' Ms. Neal noted. "I have emails from England and Germany asking about visits this summer.''
The groundhog's influence has extended to the local art world. Scattered throughout the town are 32 6-foot-tall fiberglass Phantastic Phils created by local and regional artists.
The public art "shows our pride and symbolizes our reputation as weather capital of the world,'' Ms. Neal said.
Indeed, many of the Phantastic Phils are engaged in a weather-related activity. In front of the Weather Discovery Center, for example, Phil, Wizard of Weather, is holding both a snow shovel and a sun dial.
And as you might suspect, the tourists line up.
"No one will believe this. I hardly do,'' said John Atherton, who was visiting from New York City and taking a ''selfie" with his cell phone. "This is really a charming little town with a great gig.''
Phil and his posse
The hog at the heart of it all is perhaps the most relaxed — and certainly the most cosseted — cast member. Punxsy Phil lives — not in the wild, where perhaps he would make it to 12 pounds and that many years — but long and large (about 20 pounds) in a climate-controlled glass ''burrow'' the size of a small bedroom at the town's civic center and library complex. He even has conjugal visits from his equally furry but lesser known playmate, Phyllis.
Phil (and Phyllis) are guarded by the Groundhog Club Inner Circle, a select kind of board of 15 directors who wear black tie and top hats and take their groundhog seriously — if with a smirk.
The circle's John Griffiths has been a hog handler for the past decade. Each day of the year, he or another co-handler make sure Phil and Phyllis are healthy and happy. Ice cream and cantaloupe help.
"Phil is the most lovable, he crawls up my legs the minute I enter the burrow," Mr. Griffiths said. "And let me tell you groundhogs have sharp little claws …"
While no one debates the concept of a weather-forecasting groundhog as original, the locals insist the animal himself is the original — the first, the one and only, prognosticating groundhog.
And that is because, they say, he drinks a special elixir that bestows seven years of extra life for each sip.
"Lots of drinking going on here,'' Mr. Griffiths quipped.
Driven to Gobbler's Knob each Feb. 2 in his special van — duly monogrammed, it is used to ferry Phil to numerous appearances all year — the groundhog is placed in a heated burrow underneath a simulated tree stump on a stage before being pulled out to make his prediction. He does it in "Groundhogese" and only to the anointed, according to members of the Inner Circle.
"Last year when I reached in, I found Phil flat on his back, all four paws in the air and sound asleep. I had to poke him to get up and talk to me,'' Mr. Griffiths said.
Phil must have been groggy. He predicted an early spring — and there was nothing early about spring 2013.
The Groundhog Club received lots of email about that, Ms. Donald said. "A few even threatened to turn Phil into roadkill,'' she recalled.
The National Climatic Data Center said Phil's predictions are correct 39 percent of the time.
According to Stormfax Weather Almanac, Phil sees his shadow most of the time: 100 times yes to 17 times no, including last year. Some sightings were not officially recorded.
In 1942, Phil could see only part of his shadow: "War clouds block out parts of shadow" read the headline in the town's small daily, "The Punxsutawney Spirit.'' In 1952, Phil appeared on the "Today" show; he met with President Ronald Reagan at the White House in 1986; and he made a ceremonial pitch for the Pirates in 2006.
"You want a prediction about the weather, I'll give you a prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be gray, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.''
Love is in the air
Mr. Alexander said Groundhog Day outdoes even Valentine's Day when it comes to romance. The wedding business is so brisk each Feb. 2 that borough staff has set up a floral arch for the "I do's" and the mayor's wife has bought a portable podium for him. The mayor is scheduled to officiate at least five weddings Sunday in council chambers.
Mr. Alexander said Groundhog Day vows are almost always requested by out-of-towners, who make the town's party their personal wedding reception. And yes, more than one groom has been heard to quote Phil —- Connors, that is —- bit of French poetry from the movie:
"The girl I will love / is like a fine wine / that gets a little better / every morning."
Reel to real
In 1992, Mr. Murray visited Punxsutawney to study for his role.
"He was interested and respectful of our tradition," Mr. Griffiths recalled.
But Columbia Pictures, after taking stock of Routes 119 and 36 — the town's main arteries — decided to film the movie in Woodstock, Ill., a suburb of Chicago. Filmmakers kept the small-town feel but changed some settings. For example, the real Gobbler's Knob is a wooded hill with a panoramic view; the movie is set in a town square based on Punxsy's Barclay Square.
The movie's script also was changed to include a bigger cast as well the elaborate ceremony of the Inner Circle.
"The biggest thing we contributed to the movie,'' Ms. Neal said, "is a fat groundhog. Before visiting here, producers were using a skinny one.''
Before the movie was released in 1993, visitors to Gobbler's Knob each Feb. 2 averaged in the hundreds. In 1973, just 35 braved the elements. But one year after the movie came out, the town saw its first 30,000-plus visitors, a number that has stayed constant.
"No money could have gotten us this kind of publicity,'' Ms. Neal said of the film which, of course, will be shown free all weekend at the community center.
Weather forecast
Perhaps the only, er, shadow hanging over this weekend's extravaganza is, ironically, the weather.
"The Farmer's Almanac is not friendly. It's calling for a snowstorm," Ms. Neal said.
So are The Weather Channel and other such outlets.
But then, wasn't the other Phil snowed in in Punxsy on Groundhog Day? And shouldn't it happen, er, again?

Those of you that have followed the blog for a while know that I am a fan and collector of Scouting literature. I don't just collect the books, magazines, and other literature, I love to get into them and see how Scouting was, how Green Bar Bill wrote and what the program looked like over the decades.
A common phrase I hear often from "older" Scouters is how things were "Back when I was a Scout". It seems that things were so much better back when we were Scouts. But then I got to digging in to the literature and what I have found is that the more things change.. the more they really do stay the same.
Yes, before I get hate mail… Scouting has changed a lot over time, but really, it has stayed the same.
In the 1959 edition of the Boy Scout Handbook the Boy Scouts of America talks about YOU, the American Boy.
Before I get into this, I was listening to a podcast the other day. The host of the podcast was talking about kids today and some of the things that they have lost over time. Some of the heritage of America has not been adequately passed down to our kids. I remember when I was a kid that we played like we were on the wild frontier of America. I was Daniel Boone and some of my friends would play the roles of Davy Crockett and Kit Carson, and Wild Bill Hickok. We would fight the battle of the Alamo, build rafts and float down the "Missouri". We built forts and tried to live the legends of American History. I once met Daniel Boone at Frontier land in Disneyland. It was a great day, you would have thought Daniel Boone came back just for me to meet him.
I think everyone I knew could sing every word of Davy Crockett. You remember.. he was the "King of the wild Frontier".
I think watching the tv shows, seeing our hero's at Disneyland, and learning about them in Scouting, School, and out in the woods shaped how we played the game with a purpose then.
Who are the hero's today? Who are those Davy Crockett's that the kids today run through the woods acting like?
The 1959 handbook talks about the American boy…
"Have you ever dreamed of hiking the wilderness trails that were worn down under moccasins hundreds of years ago? Do you hear in your imagination the almost soundless dip-dip of Indian canoe paddles or the ring of the axe of an early pioneer hewing a home out of the American wilderness? Have you followed with your mind's eye the covered wagons on the trek across our continent? Have you thought of the men and women who built our country by their determination and devotion? You are the descendant of those people. You are the guardian of what they built. You are the American on whom the future of our wonderful country depends."
Great writing. It inspired Scouts for years to learn about our heritage and not feel ashamed of being an American boy. It valued the spirit of the pioneer, the frontiersman, the explorer an encouraged the Scout to seek that adventure and become a part of the American Narrative.
We have lost that kind of writing in our current handbooks. Now the handbook gets the Scout to the next rank. But the more they change, the more they are the same. Where we have lost it is in us. We have stopped teaching them. We have stopped allowing them to be American boys.
"Today you are an American boy. Before long you will be an American man." The '59 handbook continues. "It is important to America that you become a citizen of fine character, physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." We all agree that there is no change there. The handbook, as in today's handbook sets the course for the Scout to begin a life of values and adventure. "Yes, it's fun to be a Boy Scout! It's fun to go hiking and camping with your best friends… to swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe, to wield and axe… to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who led the way through the wilderness…to stare into the glowing embers of a campfire and dream of the wonders of the life that is in store for you." Do we make that promise to our boys today? Why not? Nothing has changed there. The world is not that much different.
I always tell our new Scouts as we sit around the campfire to watch the older boys as they join us in the circle. There is a magic in the campfire. It is a magic that no matter who you are or what your job is in the troop, it plays true every time. That magic is in the embers. It forces one to stare and quietly be a part of it. And sure enough, someone will join us in the circle and their eyes will immediately move to glow of the fire. Where once a loud noise came is now silent and engaged in the magic of Scouting. It is for us to not allow things to change. Scouting is rich in tradition, values, adventure, and spirit. The more things change, the more that will always stay the same. If we want it to.
I think that we need to go back and take a look at old handbooks. Look at the writing of William Hillcourt and how he could draw the imagination of the boys of America. Look how he engaged them to being a part of the rich heritage and adventurous spirit of Americans before them.
We have lost that spirit and way that pull the boys of America into this great adventure. It will be gone if we don't share it. If we don't allow them to be American boys.
Building rafts like Huck Finn and standing atop the Alamo defending an ideal. Hanging out in a tree house and hiking off into the wilderness in search of new land. We hold them back in the name of protection, we kill their spirit of adventure and call it safety. I cringe at the thought of not passing on our American spirit to this generation of boys.
They want it.. they just don't know what it is.
The more things change.. the more the American boy is the same.. Let him be one!
"When you are a Scout, forest and field, rivers and lakes, are your playground. You are completely at home in God's great outdoors. You learn to notice every sound, to observe every track. Birds and animals become your friends. You master the skills of walking noiselessly through the woods, of stalking close to a grazing deer without being noticed, of bringing a bird to you by intimating it's call. You learn to find your way cross country by map and compass, to make a meal when you are hungry, to take a safe swim when you are hot, to make yourself comfortable for the night in a tent or under the stars. You become a true outdoorsman." Boy just like when I was a kid acting like Daniel Boone.. the king of the wild frontier. This was Scouting when I was a boy… and it is Scouting now. We just need to remember that things really have not changed that much.. it is us that changed. The wilderness still calls, adventure still yells for our boys to come. Are you going to let them?
Have a Great Scouting Day!
