Wow! What an absolute and highest honor it was to have the best seat in the house for the Open; to see every dog try their best to pick up every bird utilizing their natural and trained abilities in very challenging weather conditions (rain, sleet, and mostly 25-35 mph wind) on grounds with superbly difficult land and water.
I was secondarily honored by having the awesome responsibility to be fair to each dog and each handler; and I hope my co-judge and I fulfilled that responsibility. I know we gave it our best and sincerest effort - including liberal callbacks for each series. The trial was clearly difficult and my reflections are more akin to a court reporter than a judge..... we simply recorded the testimony provided by the dogs' performance - followed by a (non-rocket science) ranking of that testimony.
I was thirdly honored and humbled by so many favorable compliments from old and new friends; regardless of whether they went out in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th series..... or placed and/or finished the trial. I know how bad it hurts to go out of a trial; and what gumption and character it takes to pay a compliment when you are hurting for yourself and your dog. One gentleman I had never met, who had just picked up on the water blind said "this is my first Open and I have had a blast". Those words will be with me for a long time.
Congratulations to all who placed, finished, or participated. Thanks to all the club members and everyone else who helped in anyway.
Most of all thanks to the dogs for a splendid weekend.... I am toasting you with a nice snifter of Courvoisier, a warm fireplace, and fond memories of your best efforts.

Waterproof Field Trial and AKC Hunt Test Judges Sheets since 1987
The Amateur was a wide open triple with good birds thrown in places that produced results. There were about 8 or 9 handles or pick ups, maybe more, 8 scratches, and the other dogs dropped for having too many or too large of hunts. Thanks to the judges for donating their time this weekend and thanks to the Tulsa RC for putting on a fine trial in difficult weather conditions. Also, thanks to Joseph McAnn of Rock Erin Kennels for the use of his fabulous facilities.

hmmmm, looks like ValleyView training area is well represented - good luck everybody!!
I'm sorry that the boys are being a bit tough on you. It's a really rough crowd!
Our dog ran the first series of both the Open and the Amateur and I will give you the scoop as I saw it:
I believe that the reason there were so many pick-ups was not the terrain; it was the cold temperatures and the fierce, north wind that was blowing. I saw dogs (mine included) run with the wind through birds that they would never run through on a calm, warmer day. I saw dogs break big-time that never break. Even our truck dogs were running around like banshees in the wind, not listening, full-speed ahead. Old dogs were acting like puppies and normally slow dogs were hell-bent into the wind.
Both stakes ran less than 55 dogs which is a small field in the TX/OK/LA circuit. I can attest to the fact that the judges absolutely did set up their tests with all of the dogs in mind. We have some of the best dogs in the country winter down here and every dog running is normally awesome. The motto in this area of the country is "To be the best, you have to beat the best". Everyone that signed up knew what the terrain was going to be because most have run this trial before. When you agree to judge, you judge in the terrain that the club gives you and in this area it is all the same - hills, gullys, bowls, washouts. Both the Open and Amateur judges set up excellent tests using the terrain to their best advantage because they knew how great the dogs were and how the handlers in this area love a challenge.
I also agree that if judges are going to be cheaters (and they are out there especially in the all-age stakes) they will not throw a hard, challenging test. They will throw some rinky-dink marks that their friends will do adequately and your dog will pin. Then they will throw a land blind that their friends will go way off-line on and your dog will challenge and stay on-line. Then, their friends will get called back and you will be dropped. This is what "penciling out" is. And as Eli said, it is so much more worthwhile to pick-up because your dog just did not rise to the challenge that given day, than to get "penciled out" when they did a better job than most.
Hope this gives you some insight on this trial. The Tulsa Club always does an excellent job and most always picks knowledgeable, fair judges. If we didn't think so, we would not have made the long drive.

Learn the quick trick to homemade peanut sauce (hint: it's peanut butter and prepared salad dressing) in this variation on one of Thailand's signature dishes.
The cuisine of Thailand is rapidly gaining world popularity. It typically has a sweet/sour/salty taste. Look for these rice noodles and other specialties exported by Thailand at an Asian market or the ethnic section of the grocery store.
Let children help when cooking the rice noodles. They will be fascinated to see the noodles become transparent during cooking.
A stir-fried vegetable, such as spinach, broccoli or green beans, would be a nice side dish with this entree.

Bulldogs don pads for first time
STARKVILLE – New Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen got to see his players going full speed and in full gear Saturday morning.
He said he couldn't wait to break down the film.
"We get to go out and watch the film all day – it's like Christmas morning right now," he said. "We get to go in and see what type of hand we've been dealt, see who can play and who likes contact and who's physical."
It was MSU's third practice since spring drills started Tuesday, the first in full pads.
The Bulldogs return to the practice field on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m.
The offense struggled early with the new spread schemes but finished strong. Strength coach Matt Balis kept score, awarding points for execution and effort. The offense got the final edge with four touchdown plays inside the 10-yard line.
"I was really disappointed with the execution in the first round of scrimmage we had for the offense, but you know what, they really toughened up when we got down to the goal line, punched the ball in a whole bunch," Mullen said.

Second workout for Rebels
– OXFORD – The Old Miss football team will put on full pads for the first time today, after the Rebels second workout on Saturday ran for 21/2 hours in helmets and shorts.
"Another good one today," head coach Houston Nutt said. "The offensive line did a much better job of picking up a few more blitzes, protected the quarterback better. We didn't have as many turnovers today, and we've been stressing that hard.
"The thing about our defense … When they know where to go and what to do, they're tough to deal with. They give our quarterbacks a lot of different looks. They disguise things well, so we've just got to keep working."

Operation Mindcrime the original is a bueatiful piece of art!! I didn't know they were working on a second part!

Yes it's out! Last week Target was cheaper than Wal-Mart ($14) but Target was sold out and I had to have it. I think it came out last Tuesday or the Tuesday before that.
It is so much worth it!
The Ryche is coming to San Diego in October. The whole concert package is something like $400 or more but it is at Humphrey's By The Bay (on San Diego's waterfront in the main civilian port) and you stay in the same resort sweets that the band will be staying in and probably see them at the breakfast being served in the morning. Meanwhile, you're right on the bay and the evening starts with a $100 dinner for you and your girl, wine tasting, etc. overlooking the city lights on the harbor, then a full-on night of heavy metal revenge-violence (Mindcrime II, naturally), and afterwards you're free to go out on the town in the city. You can arrange a limo ride to and from the resort as well (but I question the wisdom of paying for that when I live like 10 minutes from there and won't be drinking before I get to Humphrey's, nor the morning after - and after the breakfast.)
Tickets are available at TicketMaster.com and you can go for just the concert for as little as $50, too. The higher priced packages practically place you on stage with them of course. Pamela Moore is touring as Mary's ghost or something and sings on the album, as does Geoff Tate's wife?! Ronnie James Deo contributes too - though I don't know if he's going to tour with them.
Humphrey's is a little larger than a night club setting, but it's not an arena where you need binoculars like in the old Mindcrime / Empire days.
Tenatively, I'm taking Tiffany, an old high school girlfriend who used to enjoy these kinds of things with me. But I didn't confirm she had an invite yet, as I leave my options with ladies open. But I'm definitely going - and with someone I want to share the romantic waterfront with. Not every girl will appreciate death-frenzy metal (just kidding - it's not THAT intense - there are several tragic love ballads that Moore and Mrs. Tate sing duets with Geoff on) but the main gist of it is that Nikki has been released from custody, presumably it's been 18 years and he's been determined to have paid the price for his crimes and dismissed as mentally handicapped. Only now he's hell-bent on finding Dr. X and killing him for revenge over Mary and everything that happened to him and Dr. X is like Tom DeLay or Karl Rove or someone in the New World Order and The Ryche is suggestive of getting rid of Bush (not by name, but it's crystal clear to me anyway) - and doing so by any means necessary. Nikki's got his guns loaded and goes into action again "Breaking the Silence of the Night! - and the streets are screaming!"
October actually (though such a long way off to me right now) seems like a perfect month for this sort of blood-bath theme, don't you think?
Ahhhh . . .San Diego. Wich of cause comes from the German word meaning . . .

Actually, it's funny, but 2 of the girls in my life that I'm attracted to the most are Mexican-German mixed hybrids, 3rd or 4th generation American though.
That's great enough for the German connection to San Diego for me.
Now Queensryche may have German-descended band members and their name sounds like "The Reich," but they are Seattle, Washington based. An American band, that's progressive and liberal enough for me (hardly fascist).
Well the concert is now only 17 days away!
I've been talking to Ryche fans on MySpace who have seen the show.
The band plays Operation Mindcrime I & II all in order - plus several more songs for an encore! Dude this is going to be awesome!
A 3 hour show or longer for sure!
I heard that Ronnie James Deo is singing his part (Dr. X) for the Los Angeles show, but unfortunately won't be down to San Diego. I wonder who will sing his lyrics?
Anyway, everyone says the show is incredible and they play live as well as if they had the chance to remaster everything in a recording studio (true as I've seen them in concert for probably every local tour that came within an hour to 2 hours drive of me).
Dang I can't wait! The ultimate ROCK event!

Wow, what a coicidence. Just the other day I broke out my old Mindcrime CD and played it in the car. I haven't listened to it since High School. I used to love this album. I haven't listened to the Ryche since that one album that came out after Empire. So, they did a sequel to Mindcrime? If it's as good as the first I'm definitely interested to hear it. What I liked about Mindcrime was its very political themes that were very anti-establishment and the idea of a narrative concept album about the socio-political underground and revolution. I hope the characters are all back... Mary and X, the man with cure. That was a brilliant album and after all these years it still holds up.
Just listened to this album and I have to say, Mindcrime it ain't! Tycho, you got me really excited to go back to the Ryche's roots only to be disappointed. Admittedly, I have not listened to the band since Promised Land (pretty much because my taste in music changed over the years) but listening to Geof Tate's vocals is like night and day. He definitely doesn't sound the same as he used to. This album lacks that cinematic narrative that the original OMC had and the foreboding dark conspiratorial overtones and gothicism that made Mindcrime I a masterpiece are non-existent. I'm offended they had the gaul to even label this Mindcrime II (obviously they were trying to appeal to old fans to help them sell another platinum album in name alone). If this was just another album from them then I would give it a fair to average ranking but hardly worthy of praise for a band that used to compose memorable tracks like Breaking the Silence, Eyes of a Stranger, and Suite Sister Mary. Oh well. Time to put my Mindcrime CD back in storage and maybe I'll dig it out when I'm feeling nostagic again in another 15 years.
I just got back from my mini-vacation for this show! It was incredible! The best show I ever saw!
I nearly dropped $1,000 on this whole event and flew my high school girlfriend out to San Diego from Chicago for this one. We had a room in the resort overlooking the stage and I got to watch them play "Hands" and "If I Could Only Change" live twice - as Geoff and Pam performed that one together for their soundcheck and I was almost directly over the stage on my balcony for that!
Tiffany and I stayed right on the waterfront and watched the lights from the boats at night. They had a little putting golf course and a huge pool and jacuzzi area. They had a computer lab at the place too, but my old girlfriend tied up the machine we got to use so she could finish her Master's Degree assignments she's doing so I wasn't able to log on here and post.
But Queensryche played two perfect albums in their entirety. After Mindcrime and Mindcrime II, Empire and Jet City Woman were encores. I completely disagree with Dave about MCII! There's a lot to a story there, and all the characters Mary (as a ghost), Dr. X, and Nikki return - they had actors performing other parts (the Judge, the cops, the mental hopsital care providers, prostitutes, drug dealers, the lawyers - everything going on stage!) I even caught a $100 bill (fake of course) as Geoff emptied a suitcase full of money onto the audience as he couldn't be paid enough to walk away from murdering Dr. X in cold blood, for revenge for everything that happened to him in Mindcrime I.
They had guns on stage and Dr. X coughed up a blood capsule as he was shot "execution style" through the back of the head as Nikki exacted his vengeance. He also shot all the doctors and his jailers at the institution, and went after his lawyers and the prosecutor. The stage was a bloodbath!
You've got to be kidding me if you think Mindcrime II isn't worthy of its title!
I wished I could follow the band around and watch this show again at least once more! This was not a rock concert! This was Queensryche Theater!
They played every song from both Mindcrime I and II, and ran their whole theater act of it for both. It was so perfect!
I even ran into my old friend Jennifer who I recognized in the after-show party that night. She used to live directly across the hall from me in college - not 3 feet from my door. Every guy on our floor had a crush on her, too! Hehe. So we're back in touch again. That all was amazing. Jennifer lent me her car to drive from San Diego nearly to LA when my father was taken in to the hospital just before he died and I would have missed seeing him and saying goodbye. I'd regretted losing touch with her. Funny thing is, she was the one that used to tell me to turn my Queensryche CDs down when they'd come blaring out of my speakers in my dorm room!

Tycho, I'm glad you had a great time. I don't doubt that the concert rocked, but the band just isn't what they used to be 15 years ago. Mindcrime II is NOTHING compared to the original. I've been playing it in my car again and it is a masterpiece of an album but the sequel is completely flacid. Don't believe me? Read the overwhelmingly negative reviews on Amazon:

Tuesday 790 The Ticket morning show host Jorge Sedano interviewed former NFL player Heath Evans for a segment that will air on the Miami sports radio station Wednesday morning at 7:30am ET.
During the interview, Evans was asked by Sedano to describe Nick Saban at Dolphins training camp in 2005 when Saban was in his first year as Miami's head coach and Evans was a player on the squad.
SEDANO: Give me an example of something he did to someone while you were there that made you shake your head, you're like, 'That stuff doesn't work here'.
EVANS: Well, the first day of two-a-days. We had about a three-hour-plus practice in the morning in that south Florida sun. You guys know what it's like down there in late July, early August. And then that night we had another practice under the lights, if I recall I think it was about from 6 to 9.
Jeno James, our best offensive lineman at the time, comes in and collapses after practice, uh, vomiting all kinds of stuff that would make a billygoat puke, eyes rolled in the back of his head. Myself, about four other lineman are trying to carry him from the locker room, to the training room.
Obviously it's a moment of panic, everyone, you know, we don't know if this guy's, you know, gonna die, I mean, the whole deal. But he's so big and sweaty and heavy that we actually have to set him down in the hallway between the locker room and the training room.
Nick Saban literally just starts walking in, steps over Jeno James convulsing, doesn't say a word, doesn't try to help, goes upstairs, I don't know what he does. But then obviously they get Jeno trauma-offed to the hospital.
Saban calls a team meeting about 10:30 that night, comes down and says, 'You know, the captain of the ship can never show fear or indecision, we've always gotta have an answer, and so I had to go upstairs, that's why I walked over Geno like that, I had to collect my thoughts and decide what's best for our team.'
And I'm thinking to myself, I think along with Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas and Yeremiah Bell and all these other guys going, 'Did he, does he really believe what he's just saying?' He showed no human emotion for one of his best players. He literally stepped over him when four or five grown men are trying to carry Jeno to the training room.
And at that point honestly, you know, I was only there, you know, for seven weeks of that football season before he cut me, um, and let me say this – that was the best thing that ever happened to my career, because obviously A) they had to pay me, and B) Bill Belichick picked me up and I learned more football than I ever thought I'd know – but that deciding moment kind of right there of how Nick Saban handled that, I think it always showed the team that ultimately he doesn't really care about any of us players.
SEDANO: I mean, are you serious? Well, listen, I know for a fact that people in that office, they weren't even allowed to look at him, for God's sake! Like, I heard a story about his secretary telling him he had a nice haircut, he kind of like grunted at her and kept walking. And then someone later, this Scotty O'Brien, that hatchet man that he had, came up to her and says, 'You're not allowed to speak to the coach! Don't you dare speak to the coach!' Just nonsense that Scotty O'Brien - he had a hatchet man! What coach has a hatchet man?
EVANS: Who is that narcissistic not to want people that are ultimately trying to make you look better talk to you? I mean, from what I heard, and I obviously never saw the email, but it was an email that went around that says, you know, don't speak until spoken to like it's the, you know, the Marines or something, you know what I mean? So I don't know. Nick's - listen, again, you gotta praise what he does on the football field.
SEDANO: Sure.
EVANS: The guy's an amazing football coach at the college level. How he gets it done isn't my style of coaching or teaching. But ultimately, the guy's got some ways about him that I'm just like, 'Are you human?' I think he might be a robot.
SEDANO: (laughing) Oh, you've just confirmed everything I've been saying for years, so I'm glad that you were able to do that.
On July 28, 2005, Greg Bedard of the PALM BEACH POST reported on the incident involving James that was described by Evans to Sedano during their Tuesday interview:
Dolphins guard Jeno James was carried through the Dolphins' locker room on a stretcher and then airlifted to a local hospital late Wednesday night, vomiting and complaining of light-headedness after the second of two practices, according to two league sources.
One Dolphins player described the scene as "scary" and "shocking."
Dolphins coach Nick Saban was asked Wednesday whether he thought his training camp was tough.
"I don't really know," Saban said. "This is the work that, as a staff, we prescribe in terms of what we need to do to be a well- conditioned team that can play with intangibles, for 60 minutes, that you need to have success.
"Winning games in the fourth quarter is important. I don't think you can do that unless you are well- conditioned and have a lot of toughness. I don't know if you can develop that without creating some adversity. We are not out here trying to make it more difficult than it needs to be."
The next day, Carlos Frias of the PALM BEACH POST reported of the condition of James:
A stomach virus that has been going around and helped put offensive lineman Jeno James in the hospital also kept quarterback A.J. Feeley out of practice Thursday.
James, a 315-pound guard, already was ill when he pushed himself too hard in practice Wednesday night and collapsed, cornerback Reggie Howard said. James was rushed to Broward General Hospital, where he was treated for dehydration. He remained hospitalized Thursday night for observation.
Saban was at James' bedside at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday and found him "fine, talking" and eager to return to practice. But the Dolphins have not said when they expect him back.
"The first thing he does when you talk to him is apologize for not being able to answer the bell," Saban said. "It's amazing. He demonstrates everything you ever talk about in a football player in terms of toughness, work ethic, trying to do everything you want him to do."
Several Dolphins said they saw James throwing up in the locker room before the second practice Wednesday then froze when they saw him lying on the ground as the medical staff treated him.
"It was frightening at first," Howard said. "No one knew what was going on."
On August 3, 2005, Andre C. Fernandez of the MIAMI HERALD reported that James had returned to the team:
Scary and painful.
Dolphins starting left guard Jeno James used those words Tuesday to describe his bout with heat exhaustion and a stomach virus that hospitalized him last week.
"Basically, I don't remember that night too well," said James, who was airlifted to Broward General Hospital after last Wednesday night's practice. "That night I just had to get through that practice. I did make it, but after that I don't remember. I think it was one of the hardest times I ever went through in my life as far as being sick like that."
James said he thought a lot about former Minnesota Vikings star Korey Stringer while he was in the hospital and said he was grateful to be alive. Stringer died of complications from heat stroke in 2001.
On Tuesday, James watched practice and jogged at times on the sideline.
He said he was not going to rush his return.
"Right now I'm just trying to get strong again and be smart about this," James said.
Finally, Jeff Darlington of the PALM BEACH POST reported that James had returned to full workouts on August 7, 2005:
Jeno James, who collapsed from a stomach virus July 27, participated in his first full workout since the incident. James has dressed for several practices, but he hadn't begun participating in heavy team drills before Saturday.
At the end of his report on James' return, Darlington noted:
Saban said the coaching staff consistently checks to make sure he remains in good health.
The audio of the Evans interview on The Jorge Sedano Show will be aired at 7:30 am ET Wednesday morning on 790 The Ticket in Miami.

Format and internal structure were paramount to Williams with his Upwey landscapes. The vertical orientation of this Upwey landscape emphasises the steep rise of the reddish-ochre ground towards the pale white sky. While painting these works, Williams recalled the lessons of his early training, including his interest in Tonalism and George Bell's teachings on dynamic symmetry. He often turned these works upside down, as Bell had encouraged, to free himself from too literal a response to the subject, and to make sure that the formal aspects of the painting were working well together.

New Binghamton University bioengineering program cuts across frontiers
Binghamton University is launching a bioengineering program designed to teach students to solve the complex problems of the 21st century.
The University has recruited senior researcher Kenneth McLeod from SUNY Stony Brook to oversee the development of a bioengineering program that will eventually offer undergraduate and graduate opportunities as well as a significant research component.
The new department, which is temporarily located on the ground floor of the library, is slated to find a home in the Innovative Technologies Complex on the eastern edge of the campus once renovation of the former NYSEG building is complete.
Meanwhile, the graduate bioengineering program is already underway this fall with the admission of four graduate students, two of whom followed McLeod to Binghamton from Stony Brook, where he was a senior faculty researcher and the director of bioengineering. Undergraduates will likely be admitted to the program for the first time next fall. Final approval from the State University of New York on the undergraduate program is expected by year's end.
McLeod has submitted a $1 million proposal to the Whitaker Foundation to jump-start the program with support for additional faculty recruitment, development of innovative teaching laboratories, support for graduate students, and student recruitment and outreach activities. Word on the grant is expected next month.
Provost Mary Ann Swain said the new bioengineering program offers students a special educational opportunity. "This program builds upon Binghamton's strength in systems science by interweaving its content with that of strong analytic, mathematical and problem-solving skills in engineering and knowledge of living systems from biology," she said.
Swain added: "Students will interact with faculty conducting research across a breadth of disciplinary and professional perspectives. We believe students will graduate with competencies necessary for success in a wide variety of positions that take an interdisciplinary approach to health care and product development."
McLeod said he came to Binghamton because he saw the potential to develop a program that provides students with the requisite systemic perspective. He wants students in the Binghamton program to gain the skills and the education they need to handle all that the 21st century has to throw at them.
"They're going to have great communication skills, great writing skills," he said. "They're going to know how to tackle ill-defined problems. They're going to be comfortable in the physical world, and they're going to be comfortable in the world of biology, which is going to be very important in the future.
"These people are really going to be the consummate problem solvers. That's why I see this as the sine qua non major of the 21st century. Give me a job where the ability to solve ill-defined problems isn't important. From the laboratory to the diplomatic corps, from industry to health care institutions, there is no such job."
Starting from scratch with two full-time faculty — Craig Laramie, who specializes in genomic analysis, and Don Gause, a system engineer— and several adjuncts in his fledgling department, McLeod plans a program that will give students a biologist's understanding of living systems and the problem-solving approach of engineers.
Specially designed courses will introduce students to applications that extend from the molecular, to the tissue, organ and social system level. In the same way that electrical engineers understand electrical systems, mechanical engineers understand mechanical systems, and chemical engineers chemical interactions, bioengineers need a view of biology that allows them to look at the big picture and understand the rules of living systems so they can harness or change the rules when needed.
McLeod said he wants Binghamton's curriculum to help bioengineering students develop a critical understanding of basic engineering, a deep understanding of biology, and perhaps most importantly, the ability to step back and see the forest and the trees.

Former K-1 Fighter Scott Lighty Faces Satoshi Ishii in March
- Written by Dave Walsh
K-1's short run of USA shows have produced more MMA talent than one might think at a first glance. That isn't to say that there is a wealth of talent that came out of it, but Pat Barry is currently a UFC Heavyweight who has had mixed results and there was one man that beat him that went on to MMA, Scott Lighty. Scott Lighty trains with The Pit, you know, John Hackleman's camp, best known for former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell. Lighty made the transition to MMA after mixed success in the K-1 USA ring. In the 2004 USA GP he knocked out Frank Cota before being stopped himself by Mighty Mo. Then in 2005 he defeated Pat Barry in a Reserve bout and got called into action, where he was knocked out by a then game Gary Goodridge.
People hate on Goodridge for his most recent performances, but in 2005 squaring off with Goodridge was a scary affair. K-1 ran another Vegas GP in August and Lighty's guts and determination earned him a spot again. This time he pushed forward, knocking out Tatsufumi Tomihira, taking Chalid "Die Faust" to a decision only to lose a close fight to Ruslan Karaev in the Finals. He came back, again, in 2006 to take Dewy Cooper to a Decision before running head first into Gary Goodridge again, and that, as they say, was that, for Lighty's K-1 career. Lighty didn't stop because he didn't have the talent, drive and determination, it stopped because K-1 stopped running their Las Vegas GP and he started training for MMA. This was the height of the Chuck Liddell era, so for a kickboxer like Lighty to see Liddell running roughshod over an entire division, he had to think, "I can do that."
Coming into his next fight, he will be 6-1, with his only loss to hot prospect Antwain Britt, whose wrestling was a bit out of Lighty's league. But regardless, yeah, Lighty can do that. Lighty was picked up by EliteXC in his first year as a professional MMA fighter, which turned out to be EliteXC's last year. He moved on to Strikeforce where he is 1-1 and looks at his next step to moving up the ladder; 2008 Judo Olympic Gold Medalist, Satoshi Ishii.
Ishii talked and talked about making a Strikeforce debut in April, and it turns out, for once, that wasn't grandstanding, he will make his Strikeforce debut on April 1 on a Strikeforce Contenders/ShoMMA card against Lighty. This is a good fight for both fighters, as a win can justify moving up in the rankings and taking on stiffer competition, with each men providing a foil for each other. Lighty has superior stand up, if anything, K-1 level beyond UFC's Pat Barry, and Ishii has Olympic Judo skills.

Is it true that painful periods increases your risk to have endometriosis?
23rd September 2012 01:38 PM #2
Actually, painful periods often happen in women who have Endometriosis, but painful periods do not cause Endometriosis.
Painful periods are often caused by hormonal imbalance which can present fertility challenges for some women.

Make this piled-high version of a New Orleans favorite, a sandwich filled with a tangle of chicken, olives, cheese, salami, and special seasonings.
For a time-saving tip, purchase your favorite prepared olive spread, and substitute it for the olive salad in this recipe.
Why remove the soft center from the bread? To make room for the scrumptious filling! Instead of discarding this extra bread, cut it into cubes, toast the cubes in the oven and make croutons or use as a casserole topping.

President Obama got his face on Mount Rushmore this morning, but not necessarily in a good way.
Rock climbers from Greenpeace evaded security at Mount Rushmore National Memorial Wednesday and hung the 65-foot by 35-foot banner, which hung for a few minutes to the side of Abraham Lincolns head.
The banner featured an unfinished portrait of the Obama with the message, "America honors leaders not politicians: Stop Global Warming, according to a news release from the organization.
The demonstration comes as President Obama meets other G8 leaders in L'Aquila, Italy today to discuss the global warming crisis in the lead-up to UN climate treaty negotiations in Copenhagen this December.
The banner came down after a few minutes, according to video broadcast live online by Greenpeace, either cut away by park workers or knocked away by the wind. But the banner hung on for a few additional minutes before falling away from the giant sculptures.

I didn't agree with Josh Hutcherson being cast as Peeta Mellark until I saw The Hunger Games this weekend and fell madly in love with both of them. Josh Hutcherson and Peeta Mellark. Now I can't imagine picturing Peeta any other way. The two are intertwined in my brain and I can't remember why I ever thought anyone else could play the role better.
Sure Liam Hemsworth has the Australian accent and the height factor going for him, but he's tainted by Miley Cyrus and he didn't really pull off the brunette look as well as I thought he would.
So now, I'm like a teenage girl pining over Robert Pattinson as I cruise the Internet looking for more information on Josh Hutcherson and Peeta Mellark. I want to see interviews, articles and everything else that's out there. It's to the point where I want to start a petition for a nude photo scandal and I want Josh Hutcherson to hook up with Jennifer Lawrence in real life.
But until those magical photos leak, I present you with the second best thing: Peeta loves Katniss memes. You're going to love them so much you might get a sponsor or two.

Every week I'm reading in the local paper that a kid has either been killed or injured while getting on or off a school bus. Yup drivers breaking the law and not stopping when the schoolbus has its red flashers on.
Start adding up the numbers. Where is the outrage?? Don't hear squat. Why???
Half of them are hit and run.
I'd like to know nationally how many children die in school shootings per year vs how many die or are injured by drivers ignoring laws about stopped school busses.

By Dennis Seid/NEMS Daily Journal
The presidential election is over. Now comes the hard part. With more than $1 billion spent on the campaign trail, we're back where we started: a Democratic-controlled White House and U.S. Senate and a Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Either we have continued gridlock or true bipartisanship. If we have the former, then we all fall off the fiscal cliff everyone's been talking about.
That "cliff" is the combination of $800 billion in mandatory cuts on domestic and defense programs and the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, payroll tax cuts and other temporary tax-relief efforts.
The deficit-reduction agreement reached last year expires Dec. 31, and if a new deal isn't reached, those cuts go into effect.
The good news: The U.S. government could start saving $600 billion starting next year.
The bad news: Most economists and other experts believe such a drastic whack would send our still-fragile economy back into a recession.
But for many people, the recession has yet to end. Falling off the fiscal cliff would worsen their problems.
The National Association of Manufacturers calls it an abyss because no one knows where the bottom is.
Republicans think keeping tax rates low and cutting entitlement programs is the best course to help spur growth. Democrats think higher government spending works better.
On Wednesday, House Majority Leader John Boehner appealed for a "balanced approach" to avoid the fiscal cliff. His proposal would extend current tax rates for another year for everyone, including the wealthy. But Obama and the Democrats won't budge on any proposal keeping the lower rates on income above $250,000 for couples and $200,000 for singles.
Obama wants the top income tax rate to rise from 35 percent to 39.6 percent, the rate in effect during President Bill Clinton's term.
Like it or not, the country saw strong economic growth then. And despite an impeachment threat, Congress and the White House hammered out compromises.
Boehner also proposed temporarily halting automatic budget cuts across military and domestic programs that both sides accepted last year in order to forestall those draconian cuts.
The lame duck session of Congress has a few scant weeks to do something wise. Both sides have to give in.
You can compromise while still holding on to your principles if you're working for the greater good.
There are signs, albeit nothing dramatic, that the economy is improving. But driving straight ahead off the cliff, full-speed ahead will lead only to disaster for all of us.
That infamous Mayan prediction says the world will end Dec. 21. That's 10 days before those cuts begin.
We don't need the Democrats and Republicans to be the Mayans' backup plan.
So let true bipartisanship prevail for the 100 percent of American who don't want – and can't afford – another recession.

This is a pano of Marietta Ohio, images taken on December 26. There were 1050 images taken with my Sony H50 and Epic 100. It took about 28 hours of processing to stitch, and 8 hours to do minor color and sharpening in photoshop.
I was attempting a 4200 image 360 pan out here on the pier on a very cold day when my batteries gave up from the cold after 1071 images. I had another set but I was freezing too so I gave up! I hope to return and finish this soon though. Also I realized that I could be using a lot less overlap, from the looks of it ...
This is Huntington Beach in Bay Village Ohio. I finally got a chance to test my Gigapan Epic 100 with Sony DSC-H50. This is my first attempt at a gigapan, certainly more to learn I think.

The judges made several mistakes and the last one was to call you to the line with a dead bird in plain sight and interfering with the test. You made the mistake of not making sure the "field was clear" before leaving the holding blind. You were trying to help things along and learned the axiom "No good deed goes unpunished." You would have been well within your rights to request that the judges remove the interfering bird and suggest to them that you'd go back a few dogs while they get the test reset and ready. Or as suggested above, simply rope your dog and go back to the truck while they sort things out. Lesson learned: You own the field and have every right ask or otherwise make sure that all gunners are ready and any distractions removed. Most judges will try to make sure of that but they might not notice a white truck driving near the test, or a flock of wild mallards rolling over the field or any number of other things that might make for an unfair situation. Take your time. Look around and make sure they are ready for you and pup.
I certainly hope that after all of that commotion they carried you to the next series and took the interference into consideration at the end of the day.

I always strive to write my programs so they are Rock Solid, please share what techniques and/or programs you use to hunt down those nasty memory leaks. Some common ones I run into
int i, a[10]; for(i=0;i<15;i++) a[i]=i;
One technique I use to track them down or errors in general is I write a for loop to a high number say 100,000 then I keep calling that function. If it has a memory leak it will usually crash or I examine Task Manager-> Performance and watch the Free Memory shrink.
Another one, that I think causes a crash:
BitBlt(hdc, -5, -5 , 100 , 100, hdcPic, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
When using GDI, does blitting outside the screen resolution cause a memory leak?
Any other common ones you can think of? An example is always helpful... how do you find em?
Thanks for sharing...

Will the industry be able to meet capital investment and growth expectations?
Robert W. Gee is the president of Gee Strategies Group LLC, an energy and utilities consulting firm. He previously served as the chairman of the Public Utility Commission of Texas and as an assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Energy. He can be reached at email@example.com.
Will the industry be able to meet capital investment and growth expectations?
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 gave states a new federally enforceable right to access holding company books and records, but concern remains that some of these initiatives may run counter to the goal of capital attraction.
On Aug. 1, 2005, one week before President Bush signed into law the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT), the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities initiated an investigation. Its purpose: to determine whether to adopt additional measures to protect ratepayers as a consequence of the imminent repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA) that would be effectuated by the president's signature. Later this year, the board may decide to adopt new measures limiting under what conditions a utility holding company would be permitted to acquire a New Jersey electric or gas utility.
Some of the options being weighed include limiting non-utility parent company investments to no more than 25 percent of aggregate asset value, and mandating a number of independent board seats at the utility company level. This is one example of how states are looking into expanding their reach into areas previously committed primarily to federal jurisdiction under the now repealed PUHCA.
At stake is the future of the electric utility industry, and whether it will be able to meet capital investment and growth expectations. Advocates calling for the repeal of PUHCA sought to remove various restraints limiting certain forms of utility ownership and structures that they believed had inhibiting effects on capital formation. Claims that PUHCA was unnecessary for ratepayer protection were premised in part on the argument that states were fully empowered to address the type of holding company abuses that originally had prompted enactment of the 70-year-old statute.
That some states now would review their own jurisdiction to serve in that capacity comes as no surprise. When it repealed PUHCA, Congress virtually invited them to take a fresh look at their own jurisdiction to regulate mergers and acquisitions, and to consider conditions they deem necessary for ratepayer protection. Among other things, EPACT gave states a new federally enforceable right to access holding company books and records, wherever located. 1 But utilities and certain sectors of the financial community are concerned that some of these initiatives may run counter to the goal of capital attraction intended by PUHCA repeal.
State Commission Concerns
The primary concerns of state commissions fall into the following categories:
- Utility company cross-subsidization of affiliate company activities within a holding company structure sharing joint or common costs;
- Diversification by the utility or ownership of diversified assets within the holding company that might place at risk the credit quality of the utility company;
- Improper use of utility company assets or its revenue

- Yield
- Serves 4 to 8
- For the marinade
- 4 large ripe purple or red plums (about 1 pound), chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced seeded fresh jalapeño pepper (wear rubber gloves)
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 8 whole chicken legs (about 4 1/2 pounds)
- For garnish
- ripe plum wedges
- lime wedges
- whole fresh mint leaves
- Make the marinade:
- In a food processor purée the plums, the garlic paste, the oil, the soy sauce, the orange juice, the vinegar, the sugar, the jalapeño, the gingerroot, the mustard, and black pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. In a large saucepan bring the marinade to a boil, simmer it, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 2 cups, and let it cool.
- In a large shallow dish arrange the chicken, pricked in several places with a fork, in one layer, pour the marinade over it, reserving 1/4 cup for the salsa, and let the chicken marinate, covered and chilled, turning it once, for at least 1 hour or, preferably, overnight. Transfer the chicken to an oiled rack set over a foil-lined roasting pan, spoon the marinade over it, and roast the chicken in the upper third of a preheated 450°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
- Make the salsa while the chicken is roasting.
- Arrange the chicken on a heated platter, garnish it with the plum wedges, the lime wedges, and the mint leaves, and serve it hot or at room temperature with the salsa.

The State Bar's attorney discipline system gives a high priority to the more serious cases of attorney misconduct.
Rather than handling all cases — the most serious to the most minor — in the same way, special "strike teams" focus on lawyers and practices posing the greatest threat to the public.
The bar also has expanded prevention and diversion programs intended to help lawyers stay out of trouble or get back on track. Some of these programs offer alternative ways of handling minor misconduct and others —collectively tagged the "prevention center"— provide various forms of attorney assistance.
In cases involving the least serious kinds of misconduct with little or no public harm, the accused lawyers are informed that they may have violated the State Bar Act or Rules of Professional Conduct. They are encouraged to comply with the rules in the future. Examples of such complaints include a lawyer's improper retention of a client file, short-term lack of communication with a client and failure to honor a medical lien.
Attorneys convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or similar offenses, may avoid discipline if they successfully undergo certain treatment programs.
By entering into such an agreement, an attorney could be required to fulfill nearly any type of remedial condition deemed appropriate for his or her case rather than face an investigation and prosecution.
Ethics Hotline: This toll-free confidential service (1-800-2-ETHICS) provides California attorneys with assistance on routine ethical questions. In 1997, the hotline staff answered 21,021 calls and distributed 1,865 packets of local and State Bar ethics opinions to interested parties.
Ethics Opinions: The State Bar's Standing Committee on Professional Responsibility and Conduct issues ethics opinions. These non-binding, advisory opinions respond to questions posed by bar groups or individual members.
California Compendium on Professional Responsibility: The State Bar publishes this multi-volume desk reference on professional responsibility. It is a compilation of local, state and national ethics information, which is updated annually.
Lawyer Assistance Program: Two independent consultants provide confidential referral services to attorneys suffering from job burnout, stress and/or chemical dependency. Bar consultants conduct assessments, referrals and follow-up. Classes, videotapes and brochures also are available.
Ethics School and the Client Trust Accounting program: Ethics School covers the Rules of Professional Conduct, law office management and chemical dependency. The Client Trust Accounting program is intended to help attorneys fulfill their statutory and ethical obligations to clients whose money and property they hold in trust. Recent rule changes require all disciplined attorneys to attend Ethics School. In addition, MCLE credit is now available to other attorneys who satisfactorily complete the program. Also available is an hour-long videotape capturing the highlights of the original Ethics School course.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Ecuador, trout streams...
A rod for Gerry, well I think he'd not kick you out of bed for eating crisps (chips) with an offer like that!
To let you know they pulled his project and have sent him to the coast. He is now in Bilsa reserve, near the Esmereldas....
'The northernmost of the coastal provinces, Esmeraldas is also the lushest, riddled with estuaries, mangroves, and flooded tropical forest. Its wild and remote inland areas, accessible only by canoe, make Esmeraldas the ideal staging ground for an epic river safari. Gliding past frontier towns that suddenly appear out of the dense green tangle of jungle, you will be reminded of scenes from The African Queen and Heart of Darkness.'
He is now on an aquaculture buzz, not quite Quintessential Trout but there you go. They are interested in low impact rearing of a local fish, chame (sp?), for tucker.
PS he never packed reel nor line neither, the daft bugger, and now he is in the most lushest, richest aquatic habitat ever... But a camera he has so I hope to have something for you all to oogle soon.
RE:Ecuador, trout streams...
Mylo -
How fascinating... perhaps we should send him a ROD! Is it possible... I will do it!
I hope he is taking many pictures, I'd love to see images of the Ecuadorian rain forest streams and mountains.

Ecuador, trout streams...
Hi Juro and Co,
A friend of mine is in Ecuador at the moment. He is doing a bit of work in a research station in high montane/cloud rain forest.
He was telling me about streams which harbour trout;
"It seems there are trout in there, and i did a quick sample of the rocks and found some mayfly, stonefly, and some things that resemble caddis fly casings. The most prevalent species is something that resembles a hydroid, but has a characteristic flip-flop movement (head over heals motion)."
You heard it hear first, folks.
He has been given first bite at the cherry in terms of studying these streams. Or rather he believes that is the case. He is having difficulty gettng books/papers at his presnt location. I am e-mailing him as much as I can, I was just wondering if anyone of you well travelled, eclectic types might have something useful to say, any information or any advice. Have any of you flicked a fly in Ecuador?
I have discovered(in a book) that there are over 2000 sp. of freshwater fish in Ecuador. The rainbow was introduced, not sure where or when, but as he is not too far from Quito it is most likely that the trouty things he saw were rainbows.
In return for help etc. if anyone has questions for Gearoid, post them to the board and I will forward them to him...
PS poor ole Gerry never packed a rod...

Led by the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, teachers unions contributed a total of about $19.2 million in the 2012 elections.
The NEA, which is more than 150 years old and advocates for teachers on a number of issues, contributed more than $14.7 million in 2012. Since 1989, it has been the fourth biggest donor out of all organizations tracked by CRP. AFT is another heavy-hitter, having given $4.4 million in 2012 that went to Democrats or liberal groups.I
n July 2008, the two leading unions formed a partnership, NEAFT, to collaborate on certain issues and reduced competition between the organizations.
Teachers unions have worked to decrease class sizes and eliminate vouchers that can be used for private, nonunion schools. The NEA and AFT also focus on issues of salary, tenure, and the availability of classroom materials and resources.
The industry is overwhelmingly liberal, even more than the average union category. The share of teachers unions' contributions going to Democratic candidates has not dropped below 94 percent as far back since at least 1989 (as far back as our records take us). In 2012, liberal candidates received $4.77 million compared to only $146,000 for conservatives.
PAC spending by the unions has remained fairly constant over the past several election cycles, but outside spending skyrocketed in 2012 to total $14.3 million, more than double the amount in any other election.
In 2012, the industry spent $7.4 million on lobbying, roughly a $2 million decrease from expenditures the year prior. In 2013, there was a more precipitous drop, to a little more than $4 million. NEA and AFT once again covered the bulk of this total.
In the wake of the December 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., debates arose over the prospect of arming teachers to help prevent such deadly rampages. AFT lobbied on more than 20 bills relating to guns, ammunition, and campus safety in early 2013. Other topics included appropriations, workplace and salary issues, taxes, and education overall.

To stand out in this increasingly competitive category, a product must offer a unique look…
In the designer-driven world of surface materials, being green is definitely not enough. A product needs to display some flash or sizzle and still be tough enough to compete with entrenched favorites such as granite and composites. The folks who created the Torzo line knew they could handle the technical details, but the aesthetics were another question altogether. To satisfy a broad range of decorative tastes, they decided to start out by producing not one, but four different families of surfaces… in multiple colors.
The product line is based on four distinctively different renewable or recycled resources. The Durum family of products is made from wheat straw, and imparts a very organic look. The Seeta line gets its look from sunflower husks, and presents a granite-like appearance. The Orient products utilize recycled wood chips to impart a somewhat mod rustic ambiance. The Indure family is made of recycled paper fibers, and while the look suggests concrete, it's free of that characteristic coldness. All four product groups are infused with a urea-formaldehyde free polymer binder.
According to Jeff Southwell, VP/Operations for parent company Specialty Polymers, Inc., the binder is a major bragging point for the line. "It really makes these surfaces hard," he said. "Our Indure product has a Jenka ball rating of over 7,000 psi which is really hard. Most hardwoods are considered pretty hard if you get up to 2,000, and soft woods fall into the 600 to 1,000 range. That means it can be used for everything from flooring, to countertops, to whatever."
Initially, Torzo envisioned the product being used mainly in horizontal applications such as countertops and vanity tops, reception desks at hotels and restaurants, and transaction counters at retail.
But vertical installations have become a big part of their business. "People are using it as panels, wainscoting, cabinet doors, and dividers," said Southwell. "We've had a couple McDonalds use Indure for dividers between the booths. And an ambulatory citizens' building in Portland actually put it on the walls as gurney protection."
Before any of that can happen, designers have to like the looks of it. So Torzo came up with a demo kit composed of 16 samples: 4 different colors in each of the 4 original product families. It lets the product speak for itself," said Southwell. "One of our distributors has told us that nobody has been able to give a presentation and walk out with all 16 samples," he chuckled. "Usually, people get enthusiastic and are pulling something out for a project they have in mind."
The product can be fabricated by any shop that works with Corian or wood, such as a custom millwork shop. It accepts standard wood adhesives such as TiteBond and Roo Glue, but unlike other materials, the product will require a top coat. "The good thing is, that once you put that topcoat on you're done," said Southwell. "You shouldn't need to recoat it again."
Torzo's lighter weight and easy workability contribute to a competitive price structure. According to Southwell, the product line bills out to end-users in the $40-$60 per square foot installed. "Some of these other products can be 2 to 3 times that when you figure in the application," he contends. A portion that price difference is the result of lower shipping expenses. "You don't need to have individual crates for each sheet," Southwell added. "We can ship 20-30 sheets on a skid, and that reduces the cost."
Torzo's newest innovation is made from reclaimed sorghum stalks.
The product is named Tiikeri, which is the Finnish word for tiger… and which sounds rather much like the base material's supplier, Kirei Board. But Torzo fortifies the panels with its own acrylic resins for added strength and durability. "When we get done infusing it, you could put a piano on it," jokes Southwell.
The exotic looking product is available in 4 colors – bronze, dusk, midnight, and natural – and can be used in a variety of horizontal and vertical applications.

By Beth Christiansen
A notebook
was one of the biggest sanity-saving tools my husband and I
used when we were caring for our medically fragile son,
Sullivan. It was
a simple three-ring binder that I put together which held
all the important information about our son's life and the
schedules we kept. This notebook went with us to every doctor
appointment, hospital stay and outing. The contents were an easy reference for the doctors,
nurses, therapists and other professionals who worked with
us to manage our son's care, at home or at appointments. It was also a reference throughout our day and for
any friends or relatives who wanted to help us out. Without this notebook, we would have found our lives
far more hectic than they needed to be.
The very
first page in the notebook was Sullivan's daily medicine,
feeding, and therapy schedule. We used our computer to print a chart which showed
what needed to be done each hour. As medicines were given to him, we would initial
right on this printed chart. This gave us a record of who gave him his medicines
and when they were given. We also recorded diaper changes on this schedule with
a "W" for a wet diaper or "BM" for a bowel movement. At the end of the day, I'd sum up how many of each
he'd had for the day and record it at the top of the page. If there was anything unusual happening with his
urine or bowel output, we could easily tell. This easy summation and record of our son's days made
it easy for the doctors or home nurses to see what his life
had been like since they'd last seen him. We went through a
lot of paper with this method, since we printed a new sheet
for every day, but it kept our days organized, and more
importantly, documented. My husband and I put this together in the very
beginning of our son's health problems and we continued to
find it useful throughout Sullivan's life. In fact, when my grandfather was in hospice care at
home, several years later, my family asked me to create a
similar chart for him.
The next
page of the notebook was a list of Sullivan's medicines and
information about his feedings. We listed the name of each medicine he was taking,
the frequency it was given, the dosage, and the
concentration (mg/ml).We copied all of this information off of the pharmacy
bottles. Rather
than carrying all of his many medicines to the doctors'
offices with us, we had the list handy. The nurses would often photocopy it rather than
recording it all by hand in his chart. I always made sure the date was at the top of the
page, so that I could easily tell if the list was
up-to-date. For
his feedings, I included the amount of formula he took per
feeding, how often he was fed and what kind of formula we
used. He was
tube-fed, so his feedings were regulated by his doctors. By keeping this record, it was easy for the
specialist doctors to see what had been prescribed by his
primary doctor.
If he had eaten by mouth, I imagine a diary log of what and
when he ate would have been similarly helpful.
I also kept
a list in the notebook of all doctors, agencies, and
therapists that worked with Sullivan. Along with their contact information, this was useful
when the team of professionals needed to consult with each
other about his condition since I always had the numbers
they needed on hand. A page protector to hold business cards would have
also worked well for keeping all of the pertinent names and
numbers on hand.
As important
as those contacts were, having Sullivan's medical history on
hand was also important. Whether a reference for new specialists, or a quick
reminder for ones we hadn't seen in awhile, carrying a brief
summary of his history helped to avoid miscommunications
about our son's medical condition. By the time he was six months old, he'd had numerous
hospital visits, surgeries and therapies to go along with
his long list of diagnoses. There was no way I could remember it all in detail
without this list. This was another of my notebook pages that was
frequently photocopied by doctors' offices to avoid long
hand copying into the file. For my own information, I also included emergency
instructions for replacing his tracheotomy tube and his
gastrostomy tube in this section. I never liked to consider that I would have to do
either of those things myself, but at least I had reminders
of how to cope with this, just in case.
Those lists
and schedules all made it easier for doctors' offices and
home nurses to help our son, but we also had lists and
schedules to help family, friends and volunteers who came
into our home to help us. I had a "to do" list that was really for me. It included my daily, weekly and monthly chores such
as cleaning and sanitizing all of Sullivan's equipment,
doing laundry, making formula, and vacuuming. It was my master list. The few times I was too sick or otherwise unable to
care for my son myself, this list made it easy for someone
else to step in to get things done. The other "to do" list was a sort of wish list of
things I wanted done, or that our daughter would enjoy
doing. This way,
when someone offered to help out, I did not have to think of
something off the top of my head. I handed them the list and invited them to choose
something that appealed to them. If they chose something around the house or with
Sullivan, I was free to spend the time with our daughter. If they chose something with my daughter, I was free
to work on something productive, or just to take a break
with our son while they were busy. Either way, my family benefited from the generosity
of these helpers and they were able to do something they
I kept all
of these lists and schedules, except our daily schedule, in
clear plastic page protectors to keep them clean. I had made all of them on the computer and saved the
files, so it was easy to change them as needed and then
print a new copy. Medicines, feedings and even routines changed often,
but it was easy to keep up with them all with this system. I
saved the old ones in separate notebooks, as well, as a
record of what we did for our son and when. It was a useful reference system when we were unable
to remember details. I keep them now as a reminder to myself of how
organized I can be when I need to be, and to be honest, as
reminders of what day-to-day life was like with Sullivan.
Christiansen spent 21 months as primary caregiver for her
infant son, Sullivan. He was diagnosed with quadriplegic
cerebral palsy, with numerous secondary diagnoses, when he
was six weeks old. She counts her son's life as one of the hardest and
most blessed periods of her life.

Not breaking the Saltwater Bank
Hi, all...new to the site. Thought I'd tap the collective in regards to value-priced saltwater reels. I'm looking to find a decent 8/9 wt reel with a sturdy, well-performing drag, good backing capacity, good corrosion resistance...one that will stand up well to Bones or Reds. I seem to be fixed on Redington and the Orvis Mach V right now - do any of you have any experience with the AL or AS series Redingtons (a lot of these on ebay right now), the new Brakewater series (large arbor) or CD series (mid-arbor) reels or the Orvis Mach series? The Redingtons sure are pretty to look at, but I wonder if the durability is there. I have experience with Orvis reels (favorable), but not with the Mach series. I love the look and feel of the Abels, Tibors and Ross Big Game, but really want to spend less money! I'm also very curious about Old Florida reels, especially the Nautilus, but I'd be in the same boat as far as price goes with these...any ideas or suggestions? Junk is definitely not an option...just want the best I can get for a good value.
I a little quid pro quo on the reel question (thanks for the earlier advice). I fish the Old Florida FW456 on my 6 wt nymphing rod. I have a high opinion of the overall workmanship of this reel, and I would tend to guess this quality extends to their higher end. Of course I can't speak to the Nautilus drag performance as mine has a standard click and pawl. The proprietors at www.thelowerforty.com, where I bought mine, raved about the value per dollar of these reels. I'm sure they'd offer an opinion on the Nautilus if they've fished it - just take into account what's in their best interest.
Thanks cshern!
I'm going to check them out ...thanks for the info!
I have four reels upon which I can opine from experience -- the Mach V, Brakewater, Abel BG2, and the Lamson LP-4.
I use the LP-4 almost exclusively for striper fishing in Maine. It has performed flawlessly for me and -- keeping in mind that the largest striper I have caught was only 36" long -- I feel confident, would do the same for you fisihng for reds. You can pick up a virtually new LP-4 on eBay for about $120, $200 with an extra spool.
I use the other three reels for atlantic salmon fishing and had a chance to compare them side-by-side, so to speak, last season on the same trip to Quebec. They, unlike the user, all performed flawlessly, with the edge going to the Mach V, followed by the Brakewater, with the Abel a close thrid. I love to look at the Abel and hold it, but it is seldom my "go to" reel when fishing. The drags on all three perform comparably. I think the Mach V gets the edge because it is light, it is pretty, it carries more than enough dacron backing (I don't like gelspun), and it picks up more line with each turn of the spool than either of the other two. Its a little more expensive ($26 at list) than the Brakewater and considerably less expensive ($110) than the Abel.
I have also owned the Redington AS -- way too heavy and the drag is suspect. If the "AL" to which you refer is the same reel as the Redington/Orvis Battenkill LA, I owned that reel too -- great reel, but not enough backing capacity.
Those are my $0.02. I hope they help you make the right decision for yourself.
Reply to Smolt - Not Breaking the Saltwater Bank
Thanks Smolt...this info helps!...I am an Orvis fan at heart (I own an Orvis Battenkill LA IV - nice reel but insufficient backing capacity for serious salt adventures - as you alluded to) and think their reels offer a lot of performance, durability and looks at reasonable prices. I had checked out the Mach in a local store within the past few months, but then heard about the recall and decided to hold off. Thanks again...Zugbugz
No need to be concerned about the recall any longer. All the reels for sale now are the "new improved" models. I don't think you can go wrong with a Mach V.
