just figured I'd post an e-mail to let everyone know I've gotten e-mail working and dns hosting done on my firewall so I could learn exim/pop3, anyone who wants to help (free @trelane.net e-mails for all!) let me know. Also the webpage will be up shortly, currently at trelane.pointclark.net but soon www.trelane.net.
For those who wonder, WOPN continues along, Vorbis continues to mature, and the mic is awesome, perhaps we'll test some more tonight. Duscussion continues on the best ways to attract bands.
I will be adding more content to the webpage, including faq's things that come in handy (mostly odds and ends, this didn't work on this machine untill I did X type stuff), so please don't flame me for the current lack of content.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:17 PM GMT on November 17, 2008
The Santa Ana winds have died down over Los Angeles, and winds should remain below 25 mph today through Thursday over the region. This should allow fire fighters to gain control of the three major blazes burning near the city. Wind gusts in excess of hurricane force--74 mph--were recorded at several mountain locations Friday and Saturday, thanks to the major difference in pressure between a strong high pressure system to the northeast of Los Angeles and lower pressure air over the ocean. By 4 pm PST Sunday, though, winds had fallen below 15 mph over the entire region (Figure 1), and a weak sea breeze had formed near the coast. Taking a look at this morning's wundermap (with fire layer turned on) for Los Angeles, we can see that winds are below 5 mph over the region. All high wind warnings and fire weather warnings have been canceled for California, but continued hot and dry conditions will slow down efforts of fire fighters to control the fires. The smoke has caused pollution problems in the city, and the Air Quality Index (AQI) for particulate matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5) exceeded the EPA standard yesterday. Today's pollution forecast calls for PM2.5 levels in the unhealthy for sensitive groups level, in excess of the EPA standards.
Figure 1. Wundermap (with fire layer turned on) for Los Angeles, California, at 4 pm EST Sunday November 16, 2008. Two major fires, the Sylmar fire to the north, and the Freeway fire to the east, are shown. The black colors show the relative concentration of smoke. The colored circles show the temperature, and the lines going into the circles show the direction the wind is blowing from. The perpendicular lines at the the end of these lines show how strong the wind is blowing. Each longer line is an additional 10 mph, and each shorter perpendicular line is an additional 5 mph. Thus, for the circle at upper right with a 66° temperature, the wind was blowing 15 mph out of the NNE. (Note that we've changed the convention used on marine maps, where these so-called "wind barbs" denote the winds in knots, not mph).
High temperature records
The hot flow of air off the desert set numerous high temperature records across Southern California on Sunday. Records set or tied included 88° in downtown Los Angeles, 93° in Camalillo; 86° at LAX airport; 90° at Long Beach; 89° at Paso Robles; 87° at Santa Maria; 91° at Woodland Hills; 87° at UCLA; 93° at Oxnard; and 87° at Santa Barbara. On Saturday, 30 high temperature records were set or tied across the state of California, including a blistering 93° in downtown Los Angeles (old record, 90° in 1936). The hottest new record was 94° at the Santa Ana Fire Station.
The forecast
Hot and dry conditions will persist over Los Angeles today, then gradually cool Tuesday and Wednesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, winds should reverse and blow cool, moist air from the oceans over the city, allowing fire fighters to gain full control of the fires. By Saturday, the GFS model is indicating a possible return to Santa Ana wind conditions for the weekend, but the ECMWF model disagrees. At this point, it appears we may get a weak Santa Ana wind event this weekend, but nowhere near as strong as the one that just ended.
Figure 2. Visible satellite image from NASA's Terra satellite taken on Sunday, November 16, 2008 at 11:30 am PST. Smoke from the Sylmar fire 20 miles north of Los Angeles has drifted out over the Catalina Islands, joined by a larger plume of smoke from the "Freeway Fire" in Orange County.
Support the Portlight Christmas for Gulf Coast Kids Honor Walk
The Portlight.org charity is sponsoring a new nationwide grassroots event to raise funds for and awareness of their ongoing efforts, specifically to provide Christmas presents (and maybe a big party) for kids and families in the Gulf Coast areas devastated by Hurricane Ike. They need 100 people across the country to commit to walking one mile this Saturday, November 22, and to raise at least $300.00 in sponsorship from friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, etc. Participants can choose where they want to walk--the local park, the mall, anywhere. Please support this worthwhile effort!

- 2. Parallel Programming Resources
- 3. Upcoming Training
- 4. Attention Graduates!
- 5. More Information
A publication of the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center.
1 Open MPI Process Affinity
A recent tip from the ARSC Help Desk is to try utilizing Open MPI process affinity for improved performance. One of the Pacman users enabled this flag and saw a 3x speedup in his ROMS model. Recompiling is not necessary, one simply passes an MCA argument at runtime:
mpirun --mca mpi_paffinity_alone 1 ./a.out
Note, utilizing process affinity may be detrimental to hybrid codes (for example, codes running MPI and OpenMP together).1
2 Parallel Programming Resources
ARSC users occasionally ask us what on-site resources are available for learning parallel programming. One helpful resource is the collection of Tom Logan's presentation PDF's from the UAF semester based course, "PHYS 693: Fundamental Skills for Computational Science", which runs during the Fall semester.
(Watch for Logan's class listed in the UAF Fall 2014 classes, for those interested in taking the course.)
2.2 MPI Examples
On the pacman.arsc.edu system, there are MPI Hello World programs available in the
${SAMPLES_HOME}/parallelEnvironment/hello_world_mpi directory. These sample programs can be compiled and run on both pacman.arsc.edu and fish.arsc.edu using the example batch job submission scripts located in
2.3 GPGPU Slides
As part of the ongoing ARSC 2014 Spring Training Series, ARSC HPC Systems Analyst Robert Torgerson has made presentation slides available from his recent class, "An Introduction to GPGPU Programming".
3 Upcoming Training
Four presentations remain in the ARSC 2014 Spring Training series. These classes are open to all who are interested. All sessions are held in the ARSC Mac lab located in the West Ridge Research Building, room 009. No registration is required.

"I personally think they're just overlooked," says Julie Gibbons of the newly opened 75 on Liberty Wharf. "I don't think a lot of places have menus for them or don't market them well." Or perhaps they just don't have the right setting for them. At her bar, the fire-pit cocktail menu actually lives up to its name. "You'll see people out there with a hot coffee drink or a warm apple cider enjoying the fire and hanging out. It just goes along with the atmosphere to have a nice, warm, toasty drink."
They're trying to look beyond the standard Irish-coffee model with their mulled wine and pear brandy. They begin with a riesling, which they heat, combine with fresh ginger, cloves, and cardamom, and then top with a Pierre Ferrand cognac. "It gives it a cider taste, but it still has a wine feeling," she says. Plus, the riesling harkens to the days when they served mulled wine on the cold city streets of Germany.
Gary Hermanson of City Landing is drawing from another European tradition, this one from his Swedish family, with his version of glögg. He steeps a spice bag of cardamom, raisins, orange peel, cloves, sliced almonds, and cinnamon in boiling water for 30 minutes, adding sugar to taste. Next he adds fino sherry and ruby port, along with either akvavit, grain alcohol, or an 80-proof vodka, as in the version available at the restaurant. Then he heats it again, bottles it, and lets it sit for a few days — or a few years. As long as you don't over-spice it with cinnamon, he says, you can let it rest and "it just gets better and better."
For people who've embraced the hot toddy or the spiced cider, this is the next logical option, Hermanson says. "Whether it's a foodie, or a craft-cocktailer, or someone looking for something outside of the norm, it's very seasonally appropriate and very holiday-driven. People always say it smells and tastes like Christmas."
If either of those options sounds a little heavy, body- or spice-wise, Rob Haberek is doing a drink at Sel de la Terre that combines vanilla- and brown-sugar-infused bourbon, hot water, and an orange wheel. "This is a more interesting take on a traditional hot toddy, with brown sugar instead of honey acting as the sweetener and an immediate vanilla presence on the nose," he explains.
Seems simple, but balancing a hot drink isn't as easy as it sounds, says Chad Arnholt of Citizen Public House, who throws an outdoor drinking party by his own fire pit on every first snow. "Hot drinks seem like a no-brainer, but if you don't prep your glass right, the glass will cool down the drink, or the cream will cool it down. You go from 140-degree coffee to something 80, 90 degrees and tepid." Instead, he'll steep an apple in hot water and honey and add it to mezcal, making a drink that's perfect for "sitting in front of the fire with two feet of snow." Mezcal and fire — now that sounds worth getting heated up for.

Magic man [4:12 PM]
CNN/SI reports: 'Dorenbos (pronounced DORN-bahs) is a rookie long-snapper for the Buffalo Bills. A collegiate free agent from the University of Texas-El Paso, he has so far made a solid impression at the Bills' St. John Fisher College camp site in suburban Rochester. Unlike most undrafted players, he has a legitimate chance to make the team.'
Ugly scrimmage shows Browns still have plenty of work to do [10:37 AM]
Columbus Dispatch reports: 'But there were a lot of missed tackles, and the Bills had success running the ball.'
Bills' run defense rushes to improve [9:22 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills' starting defense held Cleveland to 16 net yards in 15 plays in its one series on the field. The first 16 times the Browns ran the ball, they managed a total of 10 yards.'
Homecoming equals success for Fletcher and Bills' defense [9:21 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'No matter how many starters the Bills acquired in the offseason, no matter how much Sam Adams, Takeo Spikes and Jeff Posey will help, Fletcher remains the conscience of the defense. It's a good sign for the Bills when they see him fired up, knowing he'll pick up his intensity even more once the stakes are raised.'
Van Pelt keeps hold of backup job [9:20 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Alex has had a great training camp," Williams said. "He deserves to be No. 2."'
Hall of Fame gets taste of Buffalo [9:20 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Lofton will not enter the Hall as either a Packer or a Bill.'
Hallmark moments fill Hall of Fame day [9:19 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'For Joe DeLamielleure and James Lofton, today will be, aside from births and their wedding days, the most memorable occasion of their lives.'
Born to Run [9:18 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Jill Kelly has begged her husband to relax his schedule, to take a step back and appreciate what he has around him. Buffalo connections played a major role in building the home in Richmond, where he says builders attempted to take advantage of his money. Kelly had half the house built from Buffalo companies, everything from windows to carpeting to the wiring for the in-house intercom system. He figures it saved him more than $100,000, some of which was based on trust alone.'
Excitement builds for HOFers [8:58 AM]
Canton Repository reports: 'This was DeLamielleure�s 13th year of being eligible for the Hall. �The longer the wait, the sweeter the taste,� he said.'
Former Bills QB Kelly talks about HOF inductee Lofton [8:57 AM]
Canton Repository reports: 'Lofton will become the third straight Buffalo representative from the Super Bowl era to go into the Hall of Fame when he is inducted today. Kelly went in last year. Former Head Coach Marv Levy was inducted in 2001. There will be more to come. Reed, running back Thurman Thomas and defensive end Bruce Smith also starred on the Bills� Super Bowl teams. �Those three guys are no-brainers,� Kelly said.'
Registration required
Holcomb comes out ahead vs. Bills [8:56 AM]
Canton Repository reports: '�We started off awful slow,� said Head Coach Butch Davis, who was dismayed with his running game for the second time in as many days against Buffalo.'
Couch gets the first nod at QB [8:55 AM]
Canton Repository reports: 'Couch took the first series of the day with the first unit, against Buffalo�s No. 1 defense. After Couch ran a series of plays starting on the 30, Holcomb did the same, with the other members of the No. 1 offense coming back out. However, Buffalo�s substitution pattern was different, and the Bills sent out their No. 2 defense.'
Holcomb continues race to catch Couch [8:54 AM]
Canton Repository reports: 'Holcomb finished 12-of-16 for 164 yards and two scores. Couch was 8-of-13 for 79 yards and one score.'
Browns' QB duel rages [5:40 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Only Couch went against Buffalo�s first-unit defense, and he was effectively shut down during that set of plays.'
Donahoe blows whistle on official [5:39 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '� I just wanted to let him know, just in case he didn�t get the tape,� Donahoe said with a sly grin.'
The backup plan [5:38 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Williams isn�t ready to anoint either Van Pelt or Brown as No. 2, but he reiterated that � we want to get (Brown) as much time as we can this preseason.� To that end, it is expected that Brown is going to get the lion�s share of work in the four exhibitions to see if he�s ready to become Bledsoe�s backup. � I don�t think of it as extra pressure,� Brown said. � It�s a great opportunity for me and my career, but more importantly it�s a great opportunity for this team and I�m looking forward to making myself the best that I possibly can, whether that�s the second spot or the third spot.�'
Joe D reaches pinnacle with Hall induction [5:37 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Fans in Buffalo always viewed him in a positive light. They appreciated his blue-collar work ethic and his durability. They liked the fact he preferred to let his play do his talking for him. He left the caviar and champagne to the superstars. He was a beer and chicken wings kind of guy; a true Buffalonian; one of them. � I�ve always loved the people there,� he said. � They�re real people. There�s nothing phony about them.�'
Lofton was �final piece' in famed Buffalo offense [5:36 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '� He�s one of those guys whose winning attitude is infectious,� Polian says of Lofton, who is now in his second season as the San Diego Chargers� receivers coach. � I think the day will come in the not-so-distant future when James will get the opportunity to become a head coach in the NFL, and he�ll wind up making his mark in that job, too.�'
It's early, but Bills' defense is impressive [5:35 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '�(The defense) looked pretty tough today,� he said. �The Browns had a lot of trouble getting back to the line of scrimmage (in the running game). �If they can play at that level all year, it will make things significantly easier for us as an offense and allow us to win some games defensively.�'
Unbelievable fans, unrealistic expectations [5:34 AM]
Cleveland Plain Dealer reports: 'Tickets were cheap for this football "friendly." The difference in turnout between yesterday and the recent soccer matchup that drew mostly out-of-staters to the stadium is that this brand of football offered the opportunity to boo Tim Couch.'
Griffith is out with broken finger [5:33 AM]
Cleveland Plain Dealer reports: 'Kevin Johnson was the player of the day, catching five passes for 78 yards, including a 20-yard TD from Holcomb in a red-zone drill. He also caught passes of 13 and 25 yards from Holcomb.'
Browns get rowdy reception [5:32 AM]
Cleveland Plain Dealer reports: 'They don't keep official score in scrimmages, which was a good thing for the Browns. They weren't the better team on their home field yesterday.'
Davis might make switch in scrimmage partners [5:31 AM]
Cleveland Plain Dealer reports: 'Davis said he would seek to replace the Bills as a workout partner, or might even add a second team to work against.'
Joe D. earned respect from teammates, Canton [5:30 AM]
Cleveland Plain Dealer reports: '"He was drafted specifically to block for O.J.," Felser said. The Bills already had a fine pulling guard in Reggie McKenzie. The two became a deadly blocking duo.'
Score one for Holcomb [5:29 AM]
Akron Beacon Journal reports: 'Couch supporters point out in the first live action of the preseason Couch faced Buffalo's first-team defense and Holcomb moved the ball against the backups. One other Buffalo player noticed that fact as well. '`Kelly had our twos out there and was able to be more effective,'' quarterback Drew Bledsoe said. ``I thought they both threw the ball very well. Kelly marched them down the field pretty good, and Tim threw some really nice balls. They're obviously two very good quarterbacks.'''
Griffith breaks index finger, misses scrimmage [5:28 AM]
Akron Beacon Journal reports: 'Players and coaches marveled at the huge crowd, which endured long lines to buy tickets at $5 apiece.'
General Winfield always strategizing [5:27 AM]
Akron Beacon Journal reports: 'Listening to Bills Coach Gregg Williams talk about Winfield, you get the sense that the organization will do everything in its power to work out an extension. ``I think this will be a really good year for Antoine,'' Williams said. ``The team had gotten better around him. He's a very smart player and pound-for-pound, you'll have a hard time in the National Football League seeing anybody hit harder than Antoine Winfield. I loved him when he came out of Ohio State and now that I get a chance to coach him, I've seen that he will rock you. He hits like a linebacker in a corner back's body.'''
New season, same story [5:26 AM]
Lorain Morning Journal reports: 'On the positive side, the Browns did put pressure on the Bills quarterbacks. They were credited with six sacks, although in the scrimmage all the pass rusher had to do was tag the quarterback for a sack.'
Make no mistake, Davis is watching [5:25 AM]
Lorain Morning Journal reports: 'A crowd of 37,818 watched the scrimmage. About 9,000 fans were walk-up customers. Many of them were still lined up outside Cleveland Browns Stadium when the scrimmage began. ''What a great, unbelievable turnout,'' Davis said. ''When I coached at the University of Miami, I'm sad to report we had regular season crowds that didn't draw 37,000. I think it's an indication of the preseason excitement.'''
Fans show Holcomb their love [5:24 AM]
Dayton Daily News reports: 'By the time Holcomb took the field, the Bills had replaced many of their starters. But nothing could disrupt the lovefest between the quarterback and the fans who remember his heroic effort in last season's playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He threw for 429 yards and three touchdowns that day, and here he was again, filling the air with hope.'

The nation's second biggest toy company experienced soft sales in its games and girls' products, but its preschool and boys' segments experienced higher sales.
In March, Hasbro said it was cutting 170 workers because of the "underperformance" in Hasbro's U.S. and Canadian divisions, which are under new leadership. That led to $11.1 million in severance costs. The company also increased marketing and advertising in the U.S. and Canada in an effort to return to profit in those regions.
President and CEO Brian Goldner said in a statement that Hasbro still expects a higher percentage of its full-year revenue to come in the second half of the year as compared with previous years, since it has four movie tie-ins in coming months.
Those include "Battleship," which is tied to the popular Hasbro game and opens May 18. "Avengers" opens May 4, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" opens June 29 and "Spiderman" opens July 3.
The toy maker also anticipates that its 2012 earnings and revenue will climb, when removing the impact of foreign exchange rates.
The company based in Pawtucket, R.I., said it lost $2.6 million, or 2 cents per share, for the period ended April 1. A year ago, it reported net income of $17.2 million, or 12 cents per share.
Excluding 6 cents per share in severance costs, earnings were 4 cents per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected earnings of 8 cents per share.
There was one extra week in the current quarter.
Revenue dropped 3 per cent to $648.9 million from $672 million a year ago, hurt by unfavourable foreign currency exchange rates. This missed Wall Street's estimate of $667.6 million.
Hasbro shares fell $1.60, or 4.5 per cent, to $34.32 in premarket trading. Its shares have traded in a 52-week range of $31.36 to $48.43.
The preschool category benefited from strong sales of Sesame Street and Playskool Rescue Heroes products, including the Transformers Rescue Bots. Its boys' category was helped by strong sales of its Marvel and Star Wars brands as well as its new construction toy line, KRE-O.
Revenue slipped 16 per cent for the U.S. and Canada, but rose 14 per cent overseas. Entertainment and licensing revenue increased 19 per cent.
Last week rival Mattel Inc., whose brands include Barbie and Hot Wheels, reported that its first-quarter profit declined, weighed down by lower sales and costs tied to an acquisition.

Kalona Mini Park
Posted By News On @ 6:26 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The proposed mini park in Kalona is making progress. City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh tells KCII that the City is working with private donors to see exactly how much money will be donated, so they can set up the budget.
The private donors are individuals with personal ties to the property on B Avenue and would like to be involved the projects development. Schlabaugh adds that they will also sit down with the donors to decide how to properly recognize them.

/ Acres of Irrigated Cropland, 1997
Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
This dot density map shows the total acres of irrigated cropland in 1997. Dots are aggregated by and placed randomly within 8-digit hydrologic units. Each yellow dot represents 15,000 acres of irrigated cropland. Areas with 95% or more Federal area are shaded gray. There are 62,130,400 acres of irrigated cropland in the U.S.
Cautions for this Product:
This map may not be used to determine site- specific information. Within an 8-digit hydrologic unit, dot counts represent acreage totals correctly plus or minus one dot to account for remainders. Data are not collected on Federal land. Data are not available for Alaska or the Pacific Basin. Data for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are aggregated by 6-digit hydrologic unit.
Source: National Resources Inventory, 1997
Distributor: USDA-NRCS-RIAD
NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: Cross of State with 8 Digit Hydrologic Units and Federal Land Other Layers Displayed: States, Rivers
A Land cover/use category that includes areas used for the production of adapted crops for harvest. Two subcategories of cropland are recognized: cultivated and noncultivated. Cultivated cropland comprises land in row crops or close-grown crops and also other cultivated cropland, for example, hayland or pastureland that is in a rotation with row or close-grown crops. Noncultivated cropland includes permanent hayland and horticultural cropland. [NRI-97]
Irrigated land:
Land that shows evidence of being irrigated during the year of the inventory or during two or more years out of the last four years. Water is supplied to crops by ditches, pipes, or other conduits. Water spreading is not considered irrigation; it is recorded as a conservation practice. [NRI-97]

Director of Communications
At ChildFund we know that the individual circumstances of every child are unique, and the communities and countries in which they live are often very different. We also know that our supporters – through their sponsorships and donations – provide interventions that can move children from being the victims in a tragic story being told the world over, to one where they are authors of their own, more hopeful narratives.
Our President and CEO Anne Lynam Goddard frequently references this goal when she speaks. As a communications person, I am drawn to the idea of children authoring a hopeful narrative for their life story.
One of the things we aspire to do well at ChildFund is to share those narratives. We've been meeting in recent weeks to figure out how we can do this better. Should we ask youth to journal and share their entries through our Web site? Should we tell the stories through videos? Should we interview children and youth and tell their stories for them in traditional feature writing format? We think it will be a combination of these ideas and others.
We want to tell stories well and develop our signature style. That requires incorporating the voices of young people and illuminating their role as actors in their own development and success as they transition through life's stages.
We already have some great content from the 31 countries in which we work, but we don't always make it easy to get to. We're working to change that. We also want to allow user comments, share more video and enable you to commit further if you are interested by linking you to areas where you can donate.
Through our Web site and our social media, we want to use stories to connect you better to the children whose lives you impact and also to explain the why and how behind ChildFund. We want to create a user experience that is worth your time.
If you have suggestions on how to do that better, we'd love to hear from you.
Hey neighbor! At the blood center we have been considering something along the same lines. I was a speaker at a national social media conference in D.C. last year and one of the other speakers on our panel talked about this website: http://www.thankyourdonor.com .
The website was created to let recipients of blood, platelets, plasma or stem cells say "Thank you" to their donors and attract new people to give blood by sharing their stories. The nice part about the site is it includes both written stories and videos. It invites others to share their story.
When you scroll over the blood drops, the personal stories pop up (Very Cool Feature!). I could see ChildFund doing something similar, but instead of blood drops, countries representing where you are helping children.
Hope this helps. We can talk offline, or heck, I'll walk over.

I sponsor a girl in Sierra Leone through ChildFund, and live in Richmond. Once a year, I get a pamphlet describing the work you are doing in her community. More than just on an individual level of knowing Posseh's accomplishments, I love the format of getting a story of the work ChildFund does in the community. Knowing that the greater community is receiving services, especially teaching on sustainable growing, ensures that Posseh will be able to become a thriving adult.
I would love to see this done in an "issue format." For example goal 1. food sustainability and subsequent actions, teaching and progress, goal 2. medical needs… also, I would love to know what ChildFund teaches communities regarding FGM, especially in a country where the rate is so high.

This program is part of the World Languages Department.
Latin is anything but a dead language. Once the spoken language of ancient Rome, it remained in use through the 17th century. Today, Latin is the official language of the Vatican and it's regularly used in Catholic liturgy. Latin spawned the daughter Romance languages, such as Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese and it's still used in the process of new word production in modern languages, including English. Perhaps most importantly, Latin root words continue to be as a major source for new terms in the sciences and technologies.
The Latin program at MCC offers two tracks:
Conversation Track – emphasizes speaking and listening skills. It is for tourists and those desiring minimal conversational ability only. Some of these courses are related to specific areas of employment, such as Spanish for Health Personnel.
Foundation Track – prepares students for courses above the 200-level at any university. The courses 101, 102, 201, 202 are university equivalent. This track is also for those desiring a balanced program. The four skills included: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Our students enjoy:

Don't Throw Out Your Old SubWoofer/Speaker
I cut the subwoofer housing part off of the magnet using a sawzall and then used a grinder to smooth the metal off.
I then inserted an eye hook with big fender washers on both ends and red thread lock on the end.
I plan on attaching a rope to it and use it to retrieve things off the bottom, or hold tools, etc on the work bench.
Just a thought to recycle what you may just be discarding as something useful.
Don't Throw Out Your Old SubWoofer/Speaker
I like it!!! Great idea. Let us know if you ever retrieve something of value of the bottom...'08 Mobius LSV, Mods- 1100 lb Rear Sacs, IBS Sac, Center 400 Sac, Dedicated thru-hull intakes and pumps per sac, SeaDek One Piece Mica over Black Roo, EZ Net Cargo Nets, Swivel Drivers Seat, Hot Water Shower, Hinged Wind Block, Bow Cushion Adapter Plate for Drink Holders Access, etc, etc.
We use them to pick up nails/screws in or around a new home/shop that we were building. No one likes contractors that leave their garbage all over the yard for someone to step on or have to clean up afterwards.

Yokkao PSA: Muay Thai Doesn't Smoke
- Written by Dave Walsh
Our friends at Yokkao do a lot for Muay Thai and are committed to not only helping move forward their brands and fighters, but the sport of Muay Thai as well. That is the kind of stuff that we need to see more of with Kickboxing and Muay Thai for them to truly grow and become more than fringe spots with enthusiastic fans and great athletes.
Yokkao Extreme promoter Stefania Picelli stated that Yokkao Boxing is one of the premier and most popular brands in all of Muay Thai and that they regularly receive messages from fans and fighters asking for advice on training and healthy living. One of the easiest ways to ensure better health is to avoid smoking, which damages your lungs and creates a whole slew of health problems as well as limits one's ability to perform.
She also urges to look forward for Yokkao Boxing to speak about more social issues in the future and encourages everyone to "Share" and "Like" this photo on Facebook.

31 Months And 15 Months, And 11 YearsFriday, February 26, 2010
These boys! They are the *best*!
...and Av and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary this month, too!
These boys! They are the *best*!
Hi - I'm Ginger, a 7th-generation Alabamian.
I am married to the best person I have ever known, and we are smitten with our two sons -- who are just 15 months apart.
I love to travel, cook, read (nonfiction), and study folkways.
I enjoy self-taught / vernacular art, bottle trees, dioramas, seersucker, toile, WPA books, letterpress, handmade things, and Southern traditions/culture/folklore.
I care for our cat named Eugene Walter, three bantam hens who go by Tallulah, Zelda, and Nelle Harper Lee, and about a thousand red wigglers in a compost bin (each blessed with the name of an outstanding landsman).
I am a Creative Director at a magazine. I like to make things look fab.
I try to be a curator of kindness, goodness, and interesting experiences.
And I'm so happy you're here.

John Mayer: Battle Star
Battle Studies, Mayer's latest album, finds him more in his pop mode, focusing on lush textures rather than in-your-face guitar heroics. Even the album's cover of the ultimate blues guitar workout "Crossroads" receives a tight, slinky arrangement that features a relatively short solo break. While the album makes a less-than-ideal basis for a Guitar World interview, it turned out to be a great springboard to discuss not only guitar playing but also the role of the musician in 2010.
Mayer is engaged and enthusiastic as we discuss topics that range from deeply philosophical to the usual talk about picks and strings. "This is the last sit-down interview I'm going to do for a long time," he says, burnt out from the constant media attention that seems to follow him wherever he roams. "It's cool to give it to Guitar World."
GUITAR WORLD What do you listen to these days?
JOHN MAYER Ever since I was a kid, I've bounced back and forth between pop and what I would call "instrument-driven" music. Not instrumental music, just instrument-driven music. For example, when I was real young I would toggle between commercial stuff like Mötley Crüe and Skid Row and more serious guitar-driven blues like Buddy Guy. When I got a little older, I'd switch between Pearl Jam and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
It's no different now. I still go back and forth between the two. I've been in pop-song phase, and Battle Studies reflects that. The guitar playing is subtler than what I would do with the Trio because I was concentrating on supporting the songs. But I'm really getting excited about picking up the guitar again and opening another door. I've recently become obsessed with Bill Frisell's album, Disfarmer. It's fucking insane. It's something I can sit with for the next six months and really pull apart.
GW You've always taken those two distinct paths with your career: the pop guy and the blues shredder.
MAYER I like to think of it as one path with two lanes.
GW Battle Studies is a pop album, but much of it feels like pop from another era. For example, "Who Says?" sounds like Paul Simon's solo work from the Seventies, while the groove in "Half of My Heart" is reminiscent of Lindsey Buckingham–era Fleetwood Mac.
MAYER Yeah. I recorded the album in Los Angeles, and that vibe is very present. There's a proliferation of Eighties and Nineties nostalgia on L.A. radio at the moment, and I found myself in the car listening to a lot of things like Don Henley's "Leather and Lace," Tom Petty's "Freefalling" and Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon," all of which were produced in California. There's something about listening to music in the same city that it was born in. You feel the direct connection to it.
GW The songs you mentioned are very relevant to your album. All three have lots of guitar, but they're tightly arranged and the solos are deployed primarily to serve the hook.
MAYER It's not immediately apparent, but every tune on Battle Studies has something that challenged me on the guitar. I could go through it track by track and point out a new chord voicing that excited me or some new technique I've never used before. If I were to really break down "Half of My Heart," which is the poppiest song on the record, you might be surprised by how much is going on.
The playing on the album is definitely a reaction to playing in the blues-trio format. I was getting a little tired of those Albert King shapes. The geometry of it was bugging me, and I needed to go somewhere else.
GW I think most people understand that you are trying to achieve the difficult balance between being a pop musician and growing as a musician.
MAYER I hope so. It's a message I've tried to convey over time. I think in some ways the only ally you have in this entire game of being a musician is time, because it's impossible to reveal everything on a single album.
What might not be obvious about Battle Studies is that it is a concept album. There's a sadness that runs through all the tunes in the same sort of way. I'm really interested in how Battle Studies will be perceived when two more records go on the shelf after it.

Absolutely he's a terrific young back. It's going to be a great RB class with Dixon, Yeldon, Todd Gurley, and Duke Johnson. Superfreshman.
From a selfish standpoint, I'm thinking of a Dolphins team with Lyerla at TE and Javorskie Lane at FB and we might just score along the goal line finally. Lyerla's got the seam speed, exceptional acceleration, and real power running. He's not the typical NFL TE today, but he seems like he could become a real game changer.
I'm sure this isn't the right forum for this but I'm just tickled that we reeled this guy in. He doesn't even qualify as an underclassman, because he's still not even a senior in high school! But I've had my eye on him for over a year, and he's given a verbal commit to USF. He's had an offer from LSU on the table for about a year already, and he did some tours at Bama and Louisville before choosing USF this past week. They don't make too many 17 year old quarterback prospects that look like this.
Twitter: @ckparrot
Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right.
Well now. This is interesting. Evidently Michael Dyer was in Tampa recently touring USF and may join the Bulls. He would be eligible to play immediately in 2013.
He's eligible to play anywhere that'll have him. It's easy to forget how talented Michael Dyer really is. A 5-star back coming out of high school that came in and broke Bo Jackson's freshman rushing record at Auburn...on his way to obtaining Freshman All-SEC honors, and winning MVP in the National Championship where he carried Auburn to victory in the second half. That was just his freshman season....
Somebody like Coach Taggart is exactly what a kid like Dyer needs.
What makes Sammy Watkins special is his transition from catch to run. I don't know that I've ever seen a receiver transition from catch to run as fast as he does. This is why 2 years ago, he was perhaps the best true freshman receiver that I've ever seen in college football.
Coaches spend their entire careers teaching young receivers to look the ball in first, then turn and run. Sammy Watkins does this faster than any receiver I've seen. It's an incredible natural gift.
I've been high on Ka'Deem Carey out of Arizona since the start of the season and he really showed me even more today with their win over Oregon. The guy can flat out play. I see him being a playmaker in the NFL and an every-down back. Any thoughts on him? Maybe as a 2nd rounder if we are lucky?

Functional MRI of the brain
por Denis Hoa
Objetivos de aprendizaje
After reading this chapter, you should be able:
- Describe the cascade of phenomena linking neuronal activation and BOLD contrast
- List the MRI sequences adapted to functional explorations
- Present the basic steps of a functional MRI study: design of activation tasks, choice of paradigm, data acquisition, signal processing and statistical analysis of the results
Puntos clave
- Functional MRI will only detect brain activation very indirectly, as variations in the T2* signal, following changes in the oxyHb/deoxyHb ratio, after neurovascular coupling triggered by neuronal activity.
- Data acquisition is carried out in T2*-weighted ultrafast sequences of the echo planar type, sensitive to BOLD contrast, during a succession of different repeated tasks following a paradigm.
- The signal variations are very weak and their analysis is based on a statistical comparison between different states of activation.
- The temporal resolution of fMRI, combined with the possibilities of morphological imaging, make MRI a modality of choice in the neurosciences.

Damn Windows PC
You just ate my latest post
My words, my thoughts, gone
I few months ago I hit another wall posting. I didn't feel like posting about how I was actually feeling (I'd have to work it out for me to post about it) or what was really going on in my life (I'd have to stop for long enough to write it down) so I just stopped. So, what have I been doing? Well, for a start I've been working. Nothing spectacular there, I'm working on new and interesting things and old and dull things at the same time. We've released our second product, launched our second carrier and announced a launch in our second country. Theres a whole lot more of this stuff on the way, but I'm not really connected to it. I've got my own little world of code I live in, unconnected to releases that people actually see or are aware of. Outside of work I've been having a great time. I'm going out a lot and spending time with a lot of different people. I haven't been doing much music stuff recently, not have I really gotten much software written actually. Ahh, well - c'est la vie. I've started an intermediate French class in Palo Alto, near work. I'm really enjoying that. Its a small class - just three of us plus the teacher and I'm finding my French really improving. I've got my tickets for flying off to Europe in late September now too. I'm going to spend a weekend in New York City, then head off to France and Swizerland for a couple of weeks with my Mum and then go on to England to work for a few days. I don't really feel like I desperately need a holiday right now but I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't spent a decent amount of time with my Mum for far too long and I haven't been in Europe in the summer or autumn for a long tim
I'm trying to work out what pfremy is on about. I'm actually kind of hurt by his rants about how bad Eazel was about working with the rest of the community. I guess as a KDE user he's uniquely qualified to comment on the workings of GNOME. I guess whats not so clear to him as a KDE user is that the stuff in Nautilus that doesn't "fit" into GNOME 1.4 is basically stuff that was missing that was later integrated into core GNOME libraries.
pfremy's little KDE facts page is strange. Counting the days between unicode Qt and Gtk+ releases, etc. Is it a race? Aren't we all meant to be trying to develop a bunch of good free software? Thats why I'm doing this. I choose GNOME over KDE for a variety of reasons - primarily familiarity. I'm not going to make a list counting days between the implementation of various features.
I guess "get a life" is the best way to summarize this message.
Oh well...
These may be the best days of my life...

Two FANUC robots programmed with Delcam's PowerMill Robot Interface
work together to produce this rhino head at the recent EMO show.
Several exhibitors at the recent EMO show in Hannover, Germany, featured demonstrations of robotic arms wielding live cutting tools such as end mills or face mills. Perhaps the most dramatic demo was presented by Delcam to showcase this CAM developer's PowerMill Robot Interface. The interface is designed for programming robots to do multi-axis machining operations. The demo consisted of two FANUC robots working together to carve the rhinoceros-like head of a greatly enlarged fantasy action figure. On robot manipulated the pallet-mounted workpiece, while the other robot maneuvered the powered end mill.
Simulation of robotic motion enables the programmer to optimize machining operations.
This new robot interface is an application embedded inside the company's PowerMill CAM system as a plug-in. This approach makes it as easy to program a robot for machining as it is to program a five-axis machine tool, the company says, as demonstrated in this video.
The core functionality of the interface consists of three main steps: programming, simulation (including analysis) and creation of the robot programs. Robots can be programmed for tool-to-part applications, such as machining large parts or trimming composite panels. Robots can also be programmed for part-to-tool applications, such as grinding or finishing. The interface can then be used to simulate the complete machining operation and to control the robot's movements through different variables, such as axis limits, axis priorities and workplane constraints. The simplified workflow makes it easy to program, simulate, review and refine tool paths, while enabling the robots to achieve levels of accuracy similar to many CNC milling machines when cutting softer materials.
Once the results of the simulation have been reviewed, and modified if necessary, the program can be output in the appropriate robot native language, including KUKA, ABB, FANUC, Yaskawa Motoman or Stäubli equipment. This eliminates the need for third-party translation software.
The rhino head machined at EMO is a copy of the one that tops this completed piece produced by CNC Polystyrene, a model studio in the UK.

Alright, a lot of people have been suggesting a poll that ranks the Star Wars movies.
Well, it's going to be a little tougher than that! Maybe we'll have to do this brackett tournament style, but we're going to determine the Best, first.
So you can vote for only ONE - your current Favorite Star Wars movie out of five.
If we want to rank the movies, the winner of the title "Best Star Wars Movie Now" will drop out of the selection between the next 4. Then we'll obviously learn which one is second best and so on.
However, this poll will provide a great forum for comparing each of the movies with one another (something I haven't seen started on these forums yet, but that is predictable, sooner than later anyway).
So vote for your favorite and tell us why you think so!

ISC'13 - the summer's big international conference for the world of supercomputing - is only a few weeks away. As usual, I will be attending, along with several of my NAG colleagues.
This year, ISC will be in Leipzig - a new location. That means as well as the #HPC [do I need hashtags in a blog post???] fun of the conference itself, we will all have to learn the foibles of a new host city. Which bar will replace the cornerstone that was the Radisson Blu in Hamburg? How quickly can we learn the layout of the conference center itself?
More to the point, what will be the big #HPC [there I go again] news stories and themes to watch out for in Leipzig? I have already been interviewed by InsideHPC as an early ISC'13 preview, and have written a blog for the official ISC blog (comparing #HPC and #F1) - but here are some further thoughts.
Take the MIC
Well, as far as big #HPC [getting silly now] news goes, I'm glad I didn't try to write this blog last week! I think the stand out news story of ISC'13 is pretty obvious (barring another dramatic reveal) - the excellent expose by HPC Wire of China's MIC (sorry Xeon Phi) based 50+ petaflops supercomputer. Yes, at the ISC'13 issue of the Top500 list, China's Tianhe-2 supercomputer will smash aside the USA's Titan supercomputer at ORNL to take the crown as the world's fastest supercomputer - by a huge margin.
Indeed, in a painful turn of events, Titan may be dumped out of the Top500 leadership position before it has even passed it's acceptance tests! I'll reserve further comment on the Tianhe-2 story for a upcoming blog post at my own HPC blog (hpcnotes.com).
I believe Tianhe-2 will not be the only Xeon Phi news story at ISC'13 - there will probably be a few other Xeon Phi based supercomputers to be announced or updated, along with several product announcements etc (including some from NAG).
Remember GPUs?
In my preview for ISC last year, I suggested ISC'12 would be a battle between MIC and GPU and other potential processor options (e.g. ARM, DSPs, AMD Fusion, ...). I think that will be true again at ISC'13 - in terms of a battle for press/attendee mind-share, but with the difference that Xeon Phi has probably taken a solid lead for the first time.
The problem for GPUs (in terms of excitement) is that they are not new anymore - people have tried heard about them, have tried them, have learnt CUDA, have found performance successes or not, and there has been plenty of dissemination. ARM still has the benefit of being the cool new player in this space - and while still young in terms of HPC product/market maturity - has shown great promise through various demonstration projects. Likewise, the AMD Fusion technology looks interesting.
NAG, of course, is please to be working with all of the above - in terms of providing training courses, programming services, HPC consulting, our Library products, etc.
Big Data
There are bound to be plenty of #BigData [hashtag!] themes emerging at ISC'13 - it is still in buzzword status after all! There may even be a few genuine case studies and success stories about the crossover between #HPC and #BigData. But I venture to suggest most mentions of #BigData at ISC'13 will be gratuitous rather than core to the topic at hand. Call me a cynic?
Use of HPC by industry
I have predicted that the HPC community will see a strong focus on industrial HPC this year, especially engagement between centers of HPC expertise and industry users. [Note that I say "centers of HPC expertise" – it is critical that this does not mean only supercomputer centers – there is a lot of real expertise in HPC outside of the supercomputer centers – e.g., within the main HPC vendors, or specialist HPC expertise providers such as NAG, or in some cases within the industrial end users themselves.] I would expect there to be plenty of conversation around this topic at ISC'13.
Surely we can't forget exascale?
Really, a #supercomputing conference without abundant #exascale discussion? The key question for ISC'13 is not whether #exascale will be discussed - it definitely will be - but what will dominate the #exascale
discussion? The technical details and challenges of achieving exaflops
performance (either peak or real applications)? Or the politics and
funding issues? For example, the perceived risk to exascale funding in
the USA, or the ambitions of China, Europe, and others towards #exascale?
The HPC ecosystem
I am a keen
advocate that HPC is seen as a complete ecosystem of hardware, software,
people, processes, etc. and not merely the hardware that is often the
default focus of HPC. A supercomputer on its own is just a device for
converting money into waste heat (via some floating point units and an
oversized electricity bill). I'm hoping all parts of this ecosystem get
appropriate attention in the conversations at ISC'13. (Read more on my
views on this theme in the InsideHPC interview.)
What will you be looking out for at ISC'13? Leave a comment or get in touch for a direct conversation with me or NAG.

Spokane soldier killed in Afghanistan
SPOKANE, Wash. - A Spokane soldier has been killed in action in Afghanistan.
The Department of Defense confirms that Sergeant Matthew Stiltz, 26, of Spokane, died on Nov. 12 of wound suffered when his unit was attacked by indirect fire.
Stiltz was serving with the 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, Ft. Riley, Kan. at the time of his death.Soldier killed vo
His battalion, nicknamed the "Black Lions," deployed to Paktika Province, Afghanistan in early June. He is the fourth soldier in his unit killed in action since they deployed to Afghanistan.
Prior to his current deployment he served in Iraq between 2007 and 2008, according to his MySpace profile.
Stiltz married his wife Brooke, who is also a soldier, in 2009. He is a 2005 graduate of Shadle Park High School. His family lives here in Spokane while he and his wife lived off-base in Manhattan, Kan.
Kristin Stiltz, Matthew's sister, said that her brother loved the military and spent his last year in high school at Shadle Park getting ready to serve and left for basic training right after he graduated.
Kristin said she kept in contact with her brother and members of his unit. His fellow soldiers told her that Matthew was a true hero and a brave and true man and they are honored to have served with him.
An Army public information officer said that Stitlz was posthumously promoted to staff sergeant.
Sgt. Stiltz's parents and his wife Brooke are at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware picking him up Tuesday. They plan to bring him home to Spokane on Wednesday.
A memorial is being planned for Stiltz at the Shiloh Hills Fellowship Church in North Spokane.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Welcome to the flyfishingforum. There is loads of good info on this site related to steelhead fishing. Drill down to the specific topic. Good patterns for Erie steelhead include sucker spawn, single egg, and pheasant tail patterns. Most have to be dead-drifted in the currenbt to be effective. There are times when swinging streamers can be deadly. Drop me a pm if you have specific questions about Lake Erie steelhead and/or trout fishing in NW PA.
|Thank you for the info. I am going to try my hand at some steelhead as soon as all my gear arrives. I was told to use fake eggs...

Welcome aboard. In brief, the fly types you're asking about are:
Dry flies - These imitate the adult stages of insects when they are on the surface of the water, either after emerging from their nymphal shucks or landing on the water to lay eggs.
Wet flies - These imitate emerging insects and many other forms of tiny underwater life that fish might find edible. These flies are most often fish on the swing (with a tight line) so that the current can impart action against the flyline and move the fly.
Nymphs - These are usually weighted and imitate the nymphal stage of insect life, which almost always occurs on the bottom of a stream, river, lake, or pond. When fished in moving water, these flies are usually fished with a dead drift, meaning that they are allowed to tumble naturally with the current like a real nymph would.
As far as internet resources go, you don't need to search any further than where you already are. This site's members can answer most questions, and we often get together to fish in small or large groups. New faces are always welcome.
New - fly help
I am new to fly fishing. Just getting started with gear. Starting with a beginners set from LL Bean. This way I don't have to much $$ into it if I don't like it.
I have learned a lot about lines, leaders and tippets in the past few days. But I confused about the difference between wet, dry and nymph flies. How can you tell them apart and what are their actual functions? I live in PA. I have ordered a few trout sets, but they have yet to arrive. Any help or web links about fly differences would be greatly appreciated.

Hey one doubt. Will the banana seperate from its layer after it is stuffed with the filling and will it drink more oil as it is not covered by a kadalamavu or maida?
Oh my goodness, this sounds exquisite!! Oh, how I would love these right now.
I just love nenthram pazham/banana.This dish should be very tasty and delicious.
Dear Vrinda
This was my favorite snack at near by Malabar restaurant in Kuwait. But the filling did not have Cashew though.:-)
In Bong style, the Banana is so soft I have to put some flour. Will get some hard variety ripe Banana.
Have a nice weekend
Wow!This is new but looks delicious, Vrinda!
Yum yum grab from screen & taste it
hey vrinda,

So, I downloaded Pythonista and Codea on my iPad. Pythonista is an IDE for writing python on the iPad, and I sure wish there was a desktop version. Codea is another IDE and it uses LUA.
About a week ago a person actually made a whole GUI library for Codea using Lua. Both Pythonista and Codea are fantastic mobile IDEs, and I love to use them to practice.
However, when it comes to the laptop, I have three main choices I can think of. You have Visual Studio, Xcode, and Eclipse. There are other IDEs that are like Eclipse. I think there was one named Komodo.
Thing about these IDEs is that they are bloated. They have menus and options out the whazoo. For a beginner, it is just too much. I don't know what half of half of the functions do (that would be a quarter hehe).
There are plenty of text editors, but they don't have compilers. And you can't test stuff really. I have this game engine that I could use, but it is difficult to use on a mac (I am starting to prefer to use my mac instead of my toshiba).
Does anyone know of an IDE with a basic interface (perhaps like Scite or Smultron) that can compile programs (something that at least can print stuff to a console)?
I have found that Hype2 is perfect for practicing javascript (for mac).
Yes, I am going with QtCreator for several reasons:
1) It is free!
2) It has a bunch of example files
3) It was designed to be de-cluttered, and it is easy to all the extra stuff out of the way and get to your code.
4) It has good help documentation
5) It's so cute! haha.
note: Qt Creator "just works" on the mac, but there are so many extra steps I have to take to get started with it on the PC. I have to choose compilers and kits and such.
note: Yes, there is a 20mb version, but the larger version has all the examples and stuff in it.
Link to download QtCreator: (for anyone who might be interested)

On a related note I've improved my berry "pattern"...
Microwave the fresh blueberries with some blackberries thrown in. Micro the blackberries first for like 20 secs, then throw the blueberries in for 30 secs to get an even degree of done-ness.
Blast with Smart Balance Butter Blast spray - soy based butter flavor with zero calories, zero fat, zero carbs! This complements the natural sweet juices that come out of the berries when microwaved and makes it taste like the filling of a good pie or cobbler.
Let cool a little then one dollop of whipped cream (15 calories, 1.5g carb - non fat even better) and enjoy!
I am going to try adding some crushed walnuts or slivered roasted almonds (off the charts in monosaturated 'good' fats and a good source of protein) next.
Berries particularly blueberries are considered to be a critical part of a health diet regimen and among other things are the single highest source of antioxidants listed on the nutrition chart.
The total has very low calories, low fat, low carbs but tastes amazing.
Low fat ricotta cheese, unsweetened coacoa powder, splenda, dash of vanilla extract. Mix it up. One dollop of whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
Whipped cream in a can is my diet secret
No I don't mean put the nozzle in the mouth and let er rip... but since you fish longer when you're not dead I thought this has a little to do with flyfishing and well here it is, my diet secret... the can of whipped cream.
Sounds crazy but while crafting my new dietary strategy I noticed that 2 tbsp of whipped cream is only like 15 calories and 1.5g carb. Huh? That's all I ever use anyway.
I put about half that onto a handful of fresh blueberries for dessert and it feels like I am breaking the rules while getting a high dose of antioxidants and have something so I don't miss the ice cream at all. Negligible carbs and calories and delicious!
When I drink a low carb (3g) high-protein diet shake for lunch a dollop makes that chalk-olate shake taste damn good - like dessert. Especially that last gulp. Total of less than 5g carb and as much protein as a steak. Less calories than I can burn in one stint on the rowing machine.
My point is that if you want to live long and fish long, you have to maintain health when you get over the hill. For me the hill was the mid-forties and I don't want to fall shy of my golden days on the flats - I earned it damn it!
The key is to defeat the mental desires that are the ruin of most diets, and sometimes they are not the intuitive ones - like a bit of whipped cream. Making the healthy foods seem like they are indulgent eliminates the mental deprivation thing that is the healthy lifestyles worst enemy.
It's about setting up a regimen of eating that creates a nutrient rich diet low in carbs, saturated fats and calories that will keep you alive long enough to reap what you have sown into an angling lifetime. It's a cruel fate we face - by the time we reach the venerable status of wise old timer our time is running out. Beat that rap!
I have found more foods than I can even cycle through my meal plan since I started this dietary quest. It's kind of like the flybox when you've had enough time to tie - it runneth over with varieties you might never even have time to fish.
Spend a little time tuning your eating habits - you'll be amazed at the results!
(remember only a dollop!!!!)

For some of those who were fooled by the rumors they heard from some folks there was going to be a Spaceballs prequel, I would like to introduce an idea for Brooks to chew on. If a Spaceballs prequel was made, I think it would be cool to mix in some of the "stereotypes" of the fan base that was scrutinizing evry bit of info (like here) into the movie and make that part of it.
And possibly adding in some inside jokes that some people may not get but hardcore SW fans would.
