Pros: Excellent value, substantial sub-bass , non-fatiguing, relatively neutral/accurate, folds for traveling
Cons: Pleather gets sweaty, rotating earcups annoying if you're not a DJ, soundstage a bit small, not for those after perfectly neutral frequency response
(Disclaimer: This review was written while considering the very low price-point of the M50, and what you can get for that amount of money. It does not mean the M50 can go up against the high-end headphones that cost several hundred to thousands of dollars. My main headphones are high-end headphones, and the M50 is only used while I'm doing tracking or traveling. I wouldn't use it as my everyday headphone since I have superior headphones for that, such as the Audez'e LCD-2.)
The ATH-M50 is one of those rare products where the quality/price ratio really hits the sweet spot, and in fact is like a small miracle in the world of pro audio. When you get Grammy Award-winning audio engineers and producers like George Massenburg, Frank Filipetti, Al Schmitt...etc singing its praises publicly, you know it's got to be something special. (Though let's be honest--those guys probably wouldn't mix on the M50, although they'd do tracking on them.)
The M50 pulls off the difficult balance of being neutral, accurate, and detailed while not causing listening fatigue, and that is one of the most important things to get right when it comes to any audio device. If the device hurts your ears with shrill or piercing treble, then no matter how "detailed and revealing" you think it is, you won't be able to withstand the sonic torture anyway. Designed as professional studio monitors, the M50 can be used all day long without any listening fatigue, and it's tonal balance is accurate enough that many respected audio engineers would not hesitate to do tracking with them (though mixing on them is probably asking a bit much). Being sealed headphones, they also are a favorite among musicians and singers when recording, as they do not bleed into the microphone like open headphones (which means you also won't bother the people sitting near you, unlike open headphones where others will hear a tinny version of what you're hearing).
One of the most outstanding characteristics of the M50 is its sub-bass extension (50Hz and below), which is both deep and substantial. The quantity of bass is slightly more than neutral, so it's a good headphone for those who likes a bit more bass than neutral. Its raised bass is a broad and gentle curve and sounds quite natural and pleasing, and is not annoyingly bloated or distorted.
The mids and the treble are smooth, and the treble never gets gratings like many other headphones. If I must nitpick, I might say that the treble is slight hard and has a metallic timbre when compared to open-back headphones. But it doesn't get in the way of the music too much and it's only noticeable if you do A/B comparisons with headphones that have very smooth/neutral treble response and know intimately how specific instruments are supposed to sound (such as the cymbals on a drum kit). What I really love about the M50's upper mids and treble is that it follows the rule of "First, do no harm." With other headphones that "fake" detail by raising a few to several dB's in the lower treble/high-mids region, some songs can sound very shrill and fatiguing--especially on sharp snare hits or vocal sibilance--but on the M50, those tracks sound quite balanced and natural, never harsh and irritating.
The soundstage of the M50 is smaller than the average open-cans, because of its sealed design. This is perhaps the only thing sonically I wish it could be improved upon, but this does not mean the soundstage of the M50 is claustrophobic or in any way detrimental to the listening experience--it's simply not as open and lush as headphones like the Sennheiser HD6XX/5XX series (and other high quality open-cans).
Physically, the M50 is pretty comfortable to wear, but pleather tends to get a bit sweaty, and is a necessary evil for sealed-headphones. The rotating earcups are a bit annoying when taking the M50 on and off, since sometimes you have to rotate the earcups back into the correct orientation. For traveling, the M50 folds down to about half of its normal size, and that makes it very easy to travel with, not to mention more durable because it's harder to accidentally bend them or twist them out of shape. The overall look of the M50 has a pleasant, no-none-sense professional appeal--they really do look like they were designed to feel right at home in professional studios.
On a side note, the Sennheiser HD280 Pro is often recommended to musicians who need sealed-cans, and I highly suggest anyone considering a pair of nice sealed cans check out the M50, as they walk all over the HD280 in every single way possible, while still remaining very reasonably priced.

| Pasta is often made out to be a dietary villain by those trying to avoid carbs and gluten, but it can actually be pretty healthy, says Rania Batayneh, a certified nutritionist and author of the upcoming book, "The 1:1:1 Diet." Pasta is not only high in folic acid but also naturally low in fat (unlike unhealthy reduced-fat packaged foods). And pasta's glycemic index, or GI, (a way of measuring short-term changes in blood sugar after a meal) is only 41. That number is similar to pears, lower than many types of bread and much lower than glucose, which ranks 100, Batayneh says.
She recommends making your pasta healthier by cooking it 'al dente' (to lower its GI even more) and sticking with a reasonable portion (1/2 cup, cooked, about the size of a tennis ball). Steer clear of creamy sauces. and pair it with a protein like chicken or lean ground beef to help you stay fuller, longer. And enjoy it like the Italians do -- whole wheat pasta isn't usually on their menu! While whole-wheat pasta may contain a little more fiber per serving, it usually contains the same amount of calories, so it really comes down to your taste preferences, says Batayneh. And if you're sensitive to gluten, Batayneh suggests trying a rice or gluten-free option. Just don't be fooled into thinking a 'veggie' pasta is any better for you.

| While we're not recommending you load up on butter, experts say naturally occurring saturated fats (like those found in butter, red meat and cheese) may actually be good to include in your diet in moderation (especially when compared with more processed fats like those found in margarine). "Butter made from grass-fed cows is high in conjugated linoleic acid, a fatty-acid linked to heart health and weight loss," Batayneh says. "It also contains vitamin K2, (which boosts nervous system and cardiovascular function), as well as a healthy ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids." Batayneh recommends going organic with your butter since some non-organic dairy products can contain growth hormones and/or antibiotics.

| Like butter, cheese also has a high saturated fat and calorie content, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have a place in a healthy balanced diet. Nutrient-rich, calcium-packed cheese also contains vitamin A, B12, riboflavin, zinc, and phosphorus, Batayneh says. Her top picks for the healthiest kinds of cheeses? Feta, string cheese, Parmesan, Swiss and cottage. "Cheese also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a newly discovered good fat found in animal protein and dairy that has been linked to cancer prevention. Experts believe that the combination of protein and fat in cheese is so satisfying that it quashes your appetite -- so full-fat cheese just may be the answer to cravings and weight maintenance." That's delicious news to us.

| A creamy, chocolaty glass of milk is a stellar post-workout recovery drink, Batayneh says. "Chocolate milk has an ideal ratio of carbs to protein (3:1) for fueling post-workout muscle recovery -- the carbs replenish depleted carbohydrate stores after a long workout, while protein rebuilds tired muscles. Plus, it also packs bone-building calcium and sodium to restore electrolyte balances." Make it even more beneficial by mixing yours up with whole milk, not skim, says Batayneh.
"Whole milk contains more calories and fat than its low-fat and skim counterparts, but those extra calories and fat might pay off: studies have linked whole milk with a reduced risk of colon cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Researchers from the University of Texas at Galveston found that whole milk boosted muscle repair and growth more than skim milk." While whole milk does contain about 60 more calories and 7 more grams of fat than skim, Batayneh says the higher numbers are worth their weight in nutrition, so aim to cut some additional empty calories elsewhere to make up for it.

| Eggs have been on and off the 'healthy' list numerous times over the years, but Cynthia Sass, MPH, a registered dietitian and author of "S.A.S.S! Yourself Slim: Conquer Cravings, Drop Pounds and Lose Inches", says eggs (including their yolks) are full of nutrients and should be a part of your balanced diet. Egg yolks have vitamin D and choline, which your body uses to fight inflammation (a known trigger of aging and disease) and support brain health, muscle control and memory, says Sass. Recent research shows that choline may help break down fat deposits in your body, which may make eggs a great weight loss food too.
When it comes to concerns about cholesterol, Sass says not to worry too much. "Whole eggs are high in cholesterol, but they're low in saturated fat (one large egg contains just 1.5 grams, compared to the 3 grams found in a cup of 2 percent milk or 7 grams in a tablespoon of butter)," she explains. "And newer research has confirmed that saturated fat in the diet, not cholesterol, is what influences blood cholesterol levels the most." Enjoy eating the whole egg -- the egg's whites supply high quality protein, says Sass, and there are several healthy ways to eat them, includingsunny side up, hard-boiled and scrambled. Sass recommends scrambling eggs with antioxidant-rich seasonings like tumeric and pepper to add even more nutrition to your breakfast.

| You probably know all about the health benefits of red wine, with its high levels of the anti-aging antioxidant resveratrol. But there's good news for white wine drinkers too, Batayneh says. White wine deserves some love: it contains some different antioxidants that are just as powerful at improving cardiovascular function, says a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. And, Batanyeh adds, "additional research has found that the flavonoids and phenols found in white wine boost lung function."

| You've heard all about how healthy dark, leafy greens (like kale, collard greens and Swiss chard) are, but that doesn't mean you have to throw out iceberg lettuce just yet, Batayneh says. This crispy (and often more palatable) lettuce is a good source of iron, vitamin B6, K, A, and C. It's also higher in alpha-carotene (an antioxidant) than spinach, she says. And this low calorie, water-rich lettuce is the perfect base for a filling salad. For even more nutrients, Batayneh suggests mixing it with some darker greens (like kale, arugula, or mache), and topping it with a dressing that contains healthy fats to boost your body's absorption of nutrients.

| Did you know that vinegar can help you manage your blood sugar and even speed up weight loss? "Research from Lund University found that supplementing high glycemic index meals with vinegar reduced participants' blood sugar responses, resulting in increased feelings of satiety," Batayneh says. Avoiding a blood sugar crash (and the resulting hunger that follows it) means you may be better able to fight off cravings and stick with your healthy diet. And the good news is you don't have to start trying to gulp down shots of the stuff to reap its healthy benefits either – a single tablespoon is enough. Batayneh recommends adding a tablespoon (or two) of balsamic or red wine vinegar to pasta and potato salads to help maintain steady blood sugar levels when eating starchy meals. Only have plain white distilled vinegar on hand? Use it! It still offers the same benefits and has a clean, crisp flavor that is ideal for marinades, she says.

| This picnic staple is actually a pretty healthy addition to any meal, Batayneh says. "Coleslaw's star ingredient is cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable rich in polyphenols and glucosinolates, compounds with anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits. And red cabbage (which gives coleslaw its bursts of purple) is packed with anthocyanins -- the same pigments that give blueberries and blackberries their dark color -- which boost cognitive and heart health." Another added benefit? "Eating your cabbage rawseems to provide more benefits, too. One study from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute found that cooking cabbage destroys many of its nutrients," she says. And there's no need to feel bad about the fat content (3/4 cup contains about 11 grams, 1g saturated). The fat may actually help your body soak up all the nutrition contained in the cabbage.

| Let's hear it for beer, which may actually be good for you ! "Beer often gets a bad rap because it's synonymous with frat parties and beer bellies, but as long as you drink it in moderation, it can be good for you," says Batayneh. "Moderate intake (one beer a day for women, two for men) is associated with better brain and heart health as well as stronger bones." And, Batayneh says, there are more antioxidants and iron in dark beers, so be sure to toast with a dark ale or stout for even better health benefits.

| The stats keep getting better for coffee drinkers – not only does it help improve concentration and boost your stamina before a workout, but new research shows it may also help prevent diseases like diabetes and Alzheimer's. "Australian researchers found that for every cup of coffee drunk daily, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes decreases by 7 percent, Batayneh says. "It's also been linked with a lower incidence of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and dementia: a 2009 study showed that those who reported drinking 3-5 cups of coffee daily were 65 percent less likely to develop these diseases," she says. Just don't overdo it, she warns. Too much of a good thing can have some bad side effects (like insomnia, jitters and anxiety). And avoid turning it into a calorie bomb by going easy on the sugar and cream.

| Dietitians often caution against drinking fruit juices, opting instead for the whole fruit, which has more fiber and less sugar. But orange juice has a surprising health benefit, Batayneh says. High in vitamin C and folate, it contains compounds that have been shown to decrease the body's inflammatory responses after a high-fat, high-carb meal that may lead to plaque buildup. It may also help lower blood pressure, she explains. To make the most out of your morning glass, Batayneh recommends enjoying a half-cup (4 ounces) serving of freshly squeezed juice and balancing it out with some protein rich eggs for breakfast. Fresh orange juice isn't always so easy to squeeze, so if you have to buy it in a bottle, check the label. Don't go for lower sugar juices like Trop 50, says Batayneh. "The reason your store bought orange juice is so consistently flavorful has more to do with chemistry than nature. To keep it healthy, be sure to look for an organic brand, make sure the label says 'not from concentrate' and stick with a 4 ounce serving."

| Even though it's just tiny a condiment in your Bloody Mary or on your fish sandwich, the benefits of horseradish are just as strong as its taste, Batayneh says. "It's rich in glucosinolates, compounds that are also found in broccoli that fight cancer by boosting liver detoxification and suppressing the growth of tumors. Horseradish also produces allylisothiocyanate, which acts as an antibacterial agent to boost immune health and fight off infections like UTIs (urinary tract infections)." And, while you don't want to go out and start eating large quantities of it (too much can cause stomach distress, and pregnant or lactating women should avoid it altogether), Batayneh says two teaspoons should be enough to add flavor and reap its healthy rewards.

| For years you've been 'holding the mayo' on your favorite sandwich because you've heard it's not good for you. Well, mayonnaise lovers, rejoice! It may be time to start adding it back into your diet. "While mayonnaise is relatively high in calories and fat, it's actually made with some quality ingredients with significant health benefits," Batayneh says. For example, mayo made with canola or olive oil is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, and the eggs it contains are also full of nutrients that fight inflammation and help break down fat deposits in your body. "Plus, the fats in mayonnaise maximize the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins from vegetables, which are often paired with mayo (in sandwiches and salads)." If 'you're going for mayo, go all out. Says Batayneh: "Stay away from light versions, which replace fat with fillers, preservatives, and sugars, and hold the cheese."

| If you are a fan, pile on the anchovies! They may be packed with oil and salt, but they're also full of omega-3 fatty acids, which boost heart health and fight inflammation, says Batayneh. "The American Heart Association recommends eating two 3-ounce servings of fish a week, of which one is oily fish, and anchovies are an excellent way to hit that mark." Batayneh recommends perking up the flavor of pasta, salad, pizza and tapas with their intense and savory taste.

| Almonds and walnuts usually get the spotlight when it comes to healthy nuts, but don't forget pistachios, Batayneh says. . "They are naturally cholesterol-free, high in Vitamin B6, copper, manganese and phytosterols, which are important for heart health," she says. And be sure to munch on the shelled variety – having to pry the pistachio out of its shell could help you eat less , which means these nuts may offer more waist-slimming benefits than their unshelled counterparts.

| This sweet Middle Eastern delight is not only rich in vitamins and minerals (like calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium and potassium – all of which work together to help lower blood pressure) but its fiber content also helps to improve your digestive system, Batayneh says. "A perfect pairing would be to enjoy two dates stuffed with two almonds each for a salty sweet treat. Because dates are high in fiber, the natural sugars won't send your blood sugar soaring, and enjoying them with almonds will also help stabilize your blood sugar," she says.

| Shiitake, porcini, portabella, reishi… these exotic mushrooms are usually the ones making headlines for being nutritional superstars, but what about the plain, white button variety? "These mushrooms are one of the best varieties for boosting the immune system and fighting inflammation," Batayneh says. "They contain unique compounds that fight the formation of plaque on arterial walls, thereby boosting cardiovascular function, and they're one of the only natural food sources of vitamin D." Not to mention, their mild flavor makes them extremely versatile, pairing well with almost any type of dish including pasta, soups, salads, stuffing, casseroles, meat, poultry, omelets and even sandwiches, she says.

But, even if you're trying to shed pounds, bananas make a healthy inclusion to your daily diet, says Sass. "In addition to potassium, they provide antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, and a recent study found that not only are bananas just as effective as a sports drink at fueling exercise," she says, but they may actually help speed up weight loss, too: "Banana eaters also experience a greater shift in dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in elevating mood; some research indicates that low dopamine may be tied to obesity."

It's made from cabbage, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, shown to fight the growth of cancer cells and protect against heart disease by protecting blood vessel bends and branches, areas that tend to be the most prone to cholesterol build-up and inflammation. And the 'good' bacteria found in sauerkraut have also been linked to better digestive health, immune support, and cancer prevention, she says.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:I'd much rather be here!
I'd rather be back here!
First off, I don't ususally lay fish on the side of the river to take a picture, but i had the camera ready and it was only momentary. There is a story that goes with this.
I was on the SF of the Boise, which is an unbelievable tailwater fishery located a little over an hour east of Boise. There is a spot that is used as a pullout for drift fishermen called Indian Rock. It basically is a rock outcropping that is around 40' high that overlooks the river. I'd frequently stop there and look down at the pool underneath - where there frequently would be 20-30 fish that you could watch. It had some steep access from the road, but with so many fish visible the pool did receive some angler attention.
As I traveled with the rod in the truck and was between tasks I stopped one afternoon at the very tail end of the salmon fly season. As I was watching the pool I noticed a much larger fish sipping naturals off the surface to my right. This fish was just off the shore, in a protected pocket created by the outcropping I was on, and using some overhead brush as cover. I rigged up the rod (6wt), tied on a caddis imitation and slid down the bank to take a chance at the fish. I got lucky and the fish took the fly within a 1/2 dozen casts. It put a real nice bend in the rod, as it went out into the main current and bulldogged around for about a 1/2 minute before the hook came out and it was gone. I was bummed out, but still excited to have fooled it enough to have it on for a brief period.
The next day I had to make a couple of trips the length of the river and each time I would stop as I passed Indian Rock and look down to see if the fish was back in its position. Luckily during one of those stops in the afternoon - there it was, right back in the same position, and feeding again. I had the rod already rigged up and broken in two and just needed to put on the waders before I could go at it again. I tried with the caddis again, but there was no moving the fish, and getting the correct drift seemed much harder than the day before. Getting a little frustrated, I picked what appeared to be the most profitable meal for a hungry fish - the salmon fly. Earlier in the day I had seen two salmon flies, and these things are big 1.5" and during the hatch these things are equivalent to filet mignon to us. I tied it on and took a cast. I swear the fish came out of the water to meet the fly before the fly even touched down. Same tactic as the day before out into the faster current and all around the pool in an effort to come free. This time I was lucky and after about a 3 minute fight I was able to bring the fish in to land it.
I had brought my camera down just in case and was prepared to take the picture. As I was alone I resorted to laying the fish down, straighting up and snapping two pictures. I removed the fly revived the fish and sent it on its way. I measured it by holding it in my right hand with its tail in the bend of my arm and the nose extending to the end of my middle finger. The fish was 18.5 (FL) and had some nice girth. Keep in mind when you look at the fish that the fly in its mouth is 1.5" long. I was so excited afterwards that I left without grabbing my boots which were by the drivers door. Too bad the picture isn't better, but the camera was beat.

I'm as careful as a married guy with three kids can (has to) be 8^) I have heard these warnings from many people, including my brother in law, and I don't take them lightly. Still, one of these days the opportunity will be there. Thanks for the invite. I may take you up on it 8^)

Hmmmm... somehow I get the feeling Bob put the typo in the forty inch img name just in case we didn't know exactly how big that beast really was!!!
RE:I'd much rather be here!
Sorry I meant to include this image.
RE:I'd much rather be here!
Be very, very careful. Once upon a time I was very content to fish dry flies to rising trout all day everyday. Then someone introduced me to saltwater. I have not been the same since. Anytime you happen to be in the Boston area during the spring, summer or fall. You have an open invitation aboard NE-Bay.
RE:I'd much rather be here!
Thank you, Pete. Yes, that was a good day on Frenchman's Pond <g>. It's true that the colors of salvelinus are hard to beat but what can I say... trutta haunts me! That's a nice photo, too. Love open space and full pics of bent rods. One of these days I'll have to swim a few flies in the salt for a change. For non-trout variety I posted a freshwater dorado pic in the warmater section... ahhh the old memories.
RE:I'd much rather be here!
Very nice photos, exceptional skyline and not a bad brookie to boot. If that is your fish, then I'm guessing it was difficult to decide between handles (trutta or Salvalinus). Here is one that isn't trout related--igoofed when posting. I'll post a trout one later.
This is where I'd rather be than sitting in my office with a raging case of the flu. It is a picture of a friend of mine catching a schoolie off South Beach across from Monomoy.
RE:I'd much rather be here!
While I was imagining that Quebec lake I managed to hook into this nice brookie...
I'd much rather be here!
Considering the snow storm in progress outside my window I felt like imagining I was elsewhere... on this Quebec lake perhaps. Spring will come.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Andy Kennedy is a self-professed basketball junkie, a numbers guy who enjoys the ins and outs of NCAA bracketology before the brackets start buzzing in March.
Kennedy is also an "opportunity guy" and says the best thing his Ole Miss basketball team can do is take care of each game as it appears on the schedule.
The first of 18 SEC games appears tonight when the Rebels (11-2) open conference play on the road for the 12th time in 15 seasons, this time against Tennessee.
Tipoff at the Vols' Thompson-Boling Arena is set for 7 p.m.
While a rash of non-conference losses have affected the SEC's numbers so far, the Rebels have two resume-building opportunities in the first week – tonight's road game, then a Saturday night home game against newcomer Missouri, ranked No. 10 in The AP Top 25 and sporting a 21 RPI, the SEC's second-best.
"We've got to do what we can control, and that is try to take advantage of our opportunities. We've got one Today, we've got one Saturday, and that's where our focus is," Kennedy said.
Four SEC teams have sub-200 RPIs, a fifth, Vanderbilt is at No. 151.
Kennedy believes those numbers will shift as conference games are played.
They need to for the benefit of all involved.
An Ole Miss team trying to reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002 enters SEC play with an RPI of 66, fourth in the league.
The Rebels don't have any bad losses – Indiana State and Middle Tennessee are both in the top 50 – but they don't have any marquee wins.
"It's good for us, because we ain't in a slump, and we're going to have that momentum going into the game," sophomore point guard Jarvis Summers said. "We just have to take it game by game and do what we've got to do."
Ole Miss and Tennessee split two games last year, the Rebels losing in Knoxville, then going on a run that carried them past the Vols in the SEC quarterfinals.
Missing person
Tennessee post player Jeronne Maymon had 29 points and 28 rebounds in those two games. He was the difference at Thompson-Boling, but the Rebels got more production from their core group in New Orleans.
Maymon was a big part of the Vols' plans this season but an injury has forced him to redshirt.
The Vols are second in the league in scoring defense (58.8 ppg) but 11th in scoring (64.5 ppg).
The swings in the numbers are too wild to get caught up in the big picture right now, Kennedy says.
"As you collect more data those numbers become more relevant, and I don't believe they do become relevant, honestly, until you get into mid-February where your collection of data is such that the signs become more clear."

2012 Turkey Hunting Journey Re-cap
By Bobby Parks
Every season brings new and unknown adventures. You anticipate, plan, set goals, and hope for good weather and luck but hope and reality are not always the same. My original plans included starting in Alabama where Wesley Phelps and I would be hosting Jim Bates, his some Ryan and our friend Matt. This would be followed up with hunts here at home in Georgia, and then joining Jim in Texas and Oklahoma. The second half of the season included another trip to New Mexico, Montana, and then an Idaho and Washington trip.
It started out as planned with a good hunt in Alabama. Matt and Wesley scored and Jim and Ryan enjoyed some close counters and opportunities. I did not kill a bird that weekend but enjoyed my first experience of being bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider which fortunately turned out to be a minimal problem for me.
Wesley and Matt's Alabama birds
My only Alabama bird
I made 3 trips to Alabama, each time camping alone and hunting the next morning. I ended up with one good hunt and a bird to show for the efforts.
Texas & Oklahoma
I had to hold off on the Texas Oklahoma hunt due to work and business needs so that was a disappointment especially when I started seeing text messages and photos of dead birds.
New Mexico
The Georgia crew in NM
Wesley Phelps, Grant Carmichael, and I headed to NM to join Jim and we had several great hunting sessions there. Extremely strenuous and trying physically and as Wesley said, "Man, this is worse than I remember". You really can't begin to appreciate the good air you breathe until you hunt high elevations in mountainous terrain and realize no matter how fast or hard you breathe, you don't get oxygen. Being in shape helps but its difficult to prepare for this.
Grant and I scratched out a couple birds and Wesley killed one and had another in his sights but hesitated at the time not wanting his hunt too be over too soon. That decision ended up costing him. We had a great time and enjoyed the hospitality there.
As I said earlier you hope for good weather and luck. Well things don't always work out like you hope and the first two days in Montana were brutal. My dad, Wesley and I endured 30 degree temps with high winds, rain, sleet, and some snow. A verification that there had been a bird die off on the prairie and the fact that railroad work was going on where we hunted near the river combined to create the beginnings of depression. We hunted for two days mostly holed up in a dilapidated structure full of bull
My dad with his two Montana gobblers
Wesley on the day the weather cleared
manure and pigeon dropping stalagmites. Seriously, this stuff was piled up 2 high and the pigeons must have roosted on the exact same rafter for the past 5 years. I've never seen anything like it. If that wasn't enough every animal around must have taken refuge in this place and left plenty of souvenirs to be remembered by. One even died there. It was our only choice though and again it kept the rain off us and I've never been so thankful for not having the sense of "smell".
We glassed from the loft here and made surges and went after birds we spotted from there. We killed 3 birds during this effort and considering the weather we were lucky. We killed a couple more once the weather cleared. And although we were concerned, we didn't catch any disease from spending the two days in the Animal Crap House.
Prior to the travels I had not been able to hunt Georgia but was able to make a trip down near Lyons on the Altamaha River and had a fantastic hunt there killing two really good birds. One had some of the longest spurs I've taken. Met some great people there and made new friends.
Later I was able to hunt an afternoon in north Georgia with my friend Zach Thaite and killed a nice bird there. It was one of my best hunts of the year actually in how it all went down.
Near the Altamaha River
Third Georgia bird taken in North Georgia
Idaho & Washington
This was one of the hunts I really looked forward to because it was on new and un-explored ground. The adventure itself was great. Hunting in bear country and seeing wolf and bear tracks and keeping your hand in your vest holding bear spray is different than what I'm used to. For me it just added excitement. It was tough and we spent more consecutive hours than I ever have (46 to be exact) without me killing a bird. Fortunately the last evening we got one working and Wesley took one bird.
This photo was taken from an old logging road
In all I hunted 16.5 days and killed 7 birds. I shot another that got away from me and witnessed several other slayings. So it was very eventful and although it didn't unfold as I anticipated (it never does) many memories were created. I enjoyed the season and met many new people and made new friends. I felt lucky to have what I had and the new experiences under my belt. No season is ever the same and nothing ever happens the same way twice, for me at least.

Foundation Represented at White House National Conference on Mental Health
The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation was a participant at the White House for yesterday's historic convening of a National Conference on Mental Health. Foundation President Jeffrey Borenstein, M.D. was among the guests of hosts President Obama and Vice President Biden for a national conversation about reducing stigma, increasing access to treatment and care and promoting recovery from mental illness.
After the conference, Dr. Borenstein commented: "The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation commends the President and Vice President for facilitating this meaningful national dialog. They have heard and answered the call for conversation and collaboration to help the millions of people living with mental illness, often suffering in silence. This open dialog and focused effort to reduce stigma, increase access to care and accelerate brain and mental health research offers a real path to recovery from these illnesses."
President Obama opened the conference to a room full of mental health advocates from leading nonprofit organizations, political leaders, governmental figures and those personally affected by mental illness. He stated that: "There should be no shame in discussing or seeking help for treatable illnesses that affect too many people that we love...recovery is possible. They are not alone. There is hope. There is possibility." He set the stage for the day with these compelling statistics: tens of millions of people in the U.S. experience mental illness (1 in 5 adults annually and similar rates in youth), less than 40% receive treatment, 75% of mental illnesses emerge by age 24 and about 50% of affected children receive treatment. "We wouldn't accept that if only half of people with cancer or diabetes got help."
"The brain is a body part too. We just know less about it." The President reiterated the need for investment in science and his ambitious B.R.A.I.N. initiative that seeks to map the functioning of the human brain and "unlock its mysteries." He called for Americans to "do everything we can to help our fellow Americans to heal and thrive."
Vice President Biden said that it is time to stop differentiating between physical and mental health and that those who "successfully sought help" are great advocates. Military and youth are "two groups with greatest challenges to accessing mental health treatment," he said. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius called for a "change of hearts and minds" and greater understanding to reduce stigma because "recovery is very real."
Dr. Borenstein had the opportunity to share the mission of the Foundation with advocates / celebrities in attendance, including Bradley Cooper, Glenn Close and former Senator and current President of the National Association of Broadcasters Gordon H. Smith. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki led panel discussions.
On hand from the Foundation Scientific Council was Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman. After the events at the White House, Drs. Borenstein and Lieberman were among those featured at the National Press Club briefing.
As new initiatives unfold from yesterday's dialog, the Foundation will carry the message that supporting scientific discovery leads to improved treatments and the possibility of recovery. The website, http://www.mentalhealth.gov, billed as a "one stop shop" for mental health and a showcase for recovery stories was among the initiatives rolled out at the conference.

I've had a number inquiries about the Invector or Win-Choke threaded chokes and their performance. While I could speculate and say that the performance would be excellent, based upon my experience with the others, that might or might not be the case.
To be able to honestly and correctly answer those inquiries, I've ordered Win-Chokes from Jeb's and will, weather permitting, try all of them in the next 7-10 days.
I'll publish those results when I've completed my evaluations.

Fisker Loses 320 Karmas to Hurricane Sandy

(Source: Car and Driver)
Sixteen were destroyed by a fire while the rest had flood damage
As a result of Hurricane Sandy,
Fisker Automotive
lost 320 Karmas to either flooding or fires on the east coast.
According to Roger Ormisher, a Fisker spokesperson, 320 Karmas parked on a New Jersey port were destroyed during Hurricane Sandy last week. This meant a $32 million loss for the company.
Of the 320 Karmas, one had a short circuit that caught fire and due to high winds, 15 other Karmas caught fire as well. The rest of the Fisker plug-ins parked along the port were damaged by floodwaters.
These Karmas were shipped from Finland and destined for U.S. dealers. Ormisher said there may be a temporary shortage of certain color or trim options for the Karma, and that he doubts this loss will impact the price of the Karma in the U.S.
This year has been quite a rollercoaster ride for Fisker. The automaker had two incidents where Karma vehicles
caught fire
while in the possession of a customer. One occurred in May 2012, when a Karma plug-in was responsible for a house fire in Houston, and the second occurred in August 2012, where a
Karma parked in a Woodside, California
grocery store parking lot had went up in flames.
Before that, A123 Systems, the battery maker for Fisker's Karma, had
recalled over 200 batteries for the Karma
. However, Fisker said the
battery wasn't the issue
in the two fires this year.
Just last month,
Consumer Reports
flunked the Karma
for its design and execution, saying that the vehicle has a cramped interior, limited visibility, awkward access and poorly-designed dashboard controls.
Inside Line
"Well, there may be a reason why they call them 'Mac' trucks! Windows machines will not be trucks." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

text: Migration Info This species is found in similar habitat at all times of the year, usually in the vicinity of fast-flowing mountain streams within woodlands. In winter, it will also occupy upland freshwater habitats, including lakes, and during migration may be found in wet thickets in areas where moving water is not available. This is an extremely early migrant, sometimes appearing along the U.S. Gulf coast in significant numbers before the end of February. Because of its dependence upon aquatic insects, this species is extremely susceptible to the effects of siltation and water pollution.

Looking backward, history seems a whole lot more orderly than it does while you're living it. The current show of paintings from some 50 years ago by the veteran painter Charles DuBack at the Portland Museum of Art gives rise to contemplations about the complexity of decisions made and paths taken or not.
Most of the paintings are from about the time that DuBack started coming to Maine from New York, the late '50s, and they illuminate his thinking at a period when modernist ideas were getting their American expression in powerful ways. The show is complemented by a group of small, more recent watercolors that will be familiar to those who know DuBack's work from his many exhibitions here in Maine.
DuBack has moved somewhat restlessly among different styles (witness his big cutout collage of cooperage workers in the museum's contemporary gallery), but much of his work has been landscapes painted with small areas of intense local color areas that build up into his image. It's a modernist-inspired method that has been used to good effect by many of his contemporaries like Stephen Pace and others.
This show, though, brings us to the period when DuBack was confronting the work of New York School painters like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. He shows, for instance, the six-foot-tall "Bogg Road, Somerville, Me," 1959. This painting has a thin violet strip across the top, a large beige area beneath it, four horizontal stripes just above the midpoint, and then another large, slightly modulated beige area that fills the entire bottom half.
In structure one would take this for an abstract painting done with pure color fields, as in Rothko or, about the same time, Ken Noland. Yet a more careful look reveals that these are colors found in the land, placed more or less where they would appear in a conventional landscape. The top can be read as sky, its lower boundary the horizon, the area below that as bog water, the stripes below that as greenery, and so forth.
DuBack stated recently that this group of rarely-seen paintings was a project in re-educating himself. I think it was rather more than that. As a young (he was in his early 30s) artist in New York he was intimately aware of what was attracting all the attention. The achievements of the purely abstract work of Pollock and Rothko were real enough, but still new, and hard, perhaps, to come terms with.
The octagonal painting "Goldenrod," undated but from the mid-'50s, has 13 horizontal stripes within its geometric shape, and, except for its colors, bears no resemblance to any imaginable location. Here DuBack is on the border of pure, color-based abstraction. He was trying to reconcile what was going on around him with the method of working he cared about, a pictorial response to the landscape.
You can see how he sought to reconcile these ideas in the little collage "Riverside," 1960, that's made with nothing but rectangles to indicate trees, shore, water and sky; in the much larger painting "First House," rectangles define roofs, walls, chimneys, a walkway, and even smoke. In "Rose," 1957, the severity of the purely rectangular composition is offset by the small red shape that provides the title.

Graduate Admission Tests
Many graduate schools will require scores from at least one test. By reading a few catalogs and talking to faculty you will quickly determine which you need to take. Depending on the kind of program to which you seek admission, you will take either the: GRE General Test, GRE Subject Test, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, or others. Information bulletins for these tests are available in the Fleishman Career Center. You can also find information and register online by visiting www.ets.org. Testing center locations can be found on the Thomson Prometric website.
When to Take Required Tests
In determining when to take tests, keep in mind that scores will not be sent to graduate schools immediately. For paper-based tests, scores will be sent within 4-6 weeks of the test administration. If you take a computer-based test, your scores will be sent in 10-15 days. On the day of the test you can request your scores be sent to five different graduate programs free of charge, but requests made at other times will be subject to fees. Graduate schools generally accept scores from tests taken within the past three to five years.
Test Preparation
Getting ready to take a test primarily involves becoming familiar with typical directions and types of questions. This means practicing! Preparing for a test might include:
- Reviewing the sample questions in the test registration bulletin;
- Visiting the ETS website for free and/or low-cost practice materials, including practice exams;
- Taking a review course.

We let ourselves sleep in a bit, as there is nothing to see outside … not even the faintest hint of a coastline, which you know is just over there. When we crossed the Arctic Circle, we ran back to the stern, to look off to the starboard side for the island where a globe stands, marking the circle. We almost missed it … partially because of the fog but mostly because it actually was on our port side when we passed it. It was not very exciting, but we didn't mind, as we had been above the Circle for several days; the sense of novelty had worn off.
We did get the green bag back today: Paul went to the Reception desk to enquire after it, and found the bag just sitting out in the hallway
It was a bit warmer today, so we sat out on the stern and enjoyed the lack of wind. Lunch was served early for those of us going on the Vega Islands excursion. For me, lunch was all about tartar sauce: that's one way to get me to eat fish.
Our excursion started as soon as we arrived into the Vega Islands region. A group of about twelve of us were hustled onto a waiting boat, where we started through the UNESCO-protected Vega Archipelago. The archipelago consists of thousands of islands, some barely more than rocks, that have been inhabited for thousands of years, although they are barely inhabited now. The islands are, except for the main island, very low, barely rising above the surface of the water. Our guide did say that the sea levels used to be a lot lower relative to the land … but that tympanic rebound after the glaciers have receded have caused land levels to rise, so if one wanted to conduct an archaeological dig for stone age remains, one would go further up into the mountains, which was sea level at the time. This is different from our area, where the Stone Age sea was much lower … and presumably because the land never needed to rebound from the weight of the ice, the Stone Age sites are still under water.
Families who fished and farmed in the area typically owned several islands, and might have used different islands for different things: one for cows, one for sheep, one for collecting driftwood, one for collecting water, one for the house, one for growing grass, etc
Mostly, however, the Vega Archipelago is known for the cultivation of eider down. The eider ducks have naturally nested on the islands for a long time, and the farmers collected the feathers which the ducks used to build their nests. The farmers found, however, that more ducks came, and, hence, they could collect more feathers, if they built houses for the ducks and protected the eggs from predators. So, starting hundreds of years ago, farmers began to build houses out of stone or wood, to attract the ducks. The female ducks would select a nesting site that appealed to them: some liked to be alone, others liked to be in a large communal site, and would nest there. When the mother duck builds a nest, she pulls out the downy feathers to … er … feather her nest. She may pull out about 16 grams of feathers over the course of the season. She must leave the nest periodically to go to the sea to eat, and, when she does, crows may invade her nest, so the farmers took measures, such as putting glass balls in front of the house when the ducks left, to scare the crows away: the crow sees its reflection in the glass ball and thinks there is a duck inside the house
At the end of the season, when the mother duck and the ducklings leave the nest, the farmers would collect the down. It takes down from about 70 ducks to make a duvet – but a duvet today runs about $5000, so farmers found the work worthwhile. Since the farmers helped protect the ducks, the ducks used to come in larger numbers and would return to the same farm. One farmer discovered that the same duck returned to the same house every year for 30 years. But, eider farming must not have been totally worthwhile, because the eider duck farming was abandoned during the last part of the 20th century. As the farmers left, the ducks left, too. One island went from about 1500 ducks to less than 200 ducks. But now people are starting to come back to work on the islands a couple of months out of the year (we're not sure if they're volunteers or if they do this for income.) As people have returned, so have the ducks. The island mentioned above now attracts about 600 ducks a year. Still not back to early 20th century numbers, but a major recovery nonetheless.
We took a tour of the eider duck museum, which also displayed the tools that the workers used to clean the down
After the tour, we climbed a nearby hill, but, with the fog, there was nothing to see. We had a brief conversation with the Dutchman from our tour yesterday: he told us that, during another tour he took, he was told that the barns are red because they were painted with cow's blood. We failed to see how that would be cheaper … or even protect the walls too much, and the Dutchman did provide the caveat that he only repeated what the guide said. Then, we had coffee and cakes at the caf�, during which we looked up why barns are red. One site said that wealthy people painted their barns red with cows blood, to show off their status; another site said that the linseed oil which was used to paint barns turned the wood an ochre color … when iron oxide was added, it turned the barns red. The advantages of iron oxide are two-fold: first, it is plentiful in the rest that usually is abundant on farms; second, and most importantly, it acts as a poison against fungus and mold, which often grow on barn walls and destroy the wood. I, personally, think that explanation makes the most sense, but it could be something else entirely. In any case, it doesn't explain why you wouldn't use the same process on your house but would paint it white instead
We then took the island public transport to the port. The bus was very clean and picked up a few other passengers, but not many (like, two). I did notice that all the roads were one-lane, with periodic pull-offs. There was quite a bit of traffic, but maybe because it is a Friday during summer. It was kind of fun to catch a very small glimpse of village life … the two women who boarded chatted with the bus driver, chatted with each other, and chatted with women we met later on the ferry to town. From the bus, we took the island ferry to Bronnoysund, where we had to board our trebek, as it was about to depart. We said good-bye and thank you to our guide and went on board.
It was foggy again as we left, but the fog kept promising to lift – getting brighter and brighter until it seemed that the sun must break through. We did have a very brief moment of sunlight … but it was around long enough for us to view a famous mountain, with a hole in it. Given the size of the hole, we were very surprised how small the hole appeared when viewed from such a distance.
We had the Captain's farewell dinner tonight, where we applauded for the kitchen and wait staff. After dinner, we all had coffee in the lounge and watched the fog pass.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|A couple of times this spring I had stripers pushing small bait right around my boots and bumping into my feet, even in all that heavy feeding I was haveing little succsess hooking up. Turns out they were so keyed in on the small silversides that I had to take my nippers to my smallest deciver that solved the problem, and now I try to carry some smaller patterns
All of the above but I can relate to Mikez's observation on surface presentation.
A couple of years back we were in Buzzards Bay and the stripers had the bait trapped up against the Mass Maritime ships hull - total pandemonium - screaming gulls, screeming anglers you name it.
The boat was setup where I had prime position (for a chnage ;D)and was able to put the fly just about anywhere I wanted. My partner was hampered by wind on the "wrong" side of the boat so all he could do was "stroke" his deciever pattern on the surface a rod's length out.
The results:
2 for him to every one I hooked with mine averaging in the low 20s - his averaging 30+ inches - all from the same school. He finished up with about two dozen, I finished up with a dozen and a generous helping of egg.
|Along the beaches the action is very fast..usually... if they are moving I will cast anywhere I can!....near them... in them... along the edges...wherever.... if they linger, I have the time to place casts along the edges...but I would not hesitate to throw it right around or in the action... since it is not always THAT easy to find the edges of a moving blitz.... I have caught them everywhere in a blitz...so... that's my experience.
My 3:
Working the edges.
Crease fly on a heavy sinking line dead drifted along the bottom.
Something big, gaudy and chartreuse.
That's kind of a trick question in that the most successful tactics I've used have been when the fish were hitting like kids in the candy store.
For those tougher times, well, I still haven't hita single tatic which I could bet money on. Some that have worked at least some times;
Go to the surface. Not necessarily a popper, a slider or crease fly can be better. There is something in a surface fleeing bait fish which acts as a trigger to bass and blues.
Fish outside the bulk of the blitz. Often there are fish cruising the outskirts picking off strays left behind by the main body. These may be less picky.
Try a faster retrieve. Again, that fleeing baitfish action can be a trigger.
Try a dead drift. Some fish may specialize in hitting sinkers, especially when frenzied bluefish are chopping large bait in half and pieces are sinking.
One thing often suggested that has rarely worked for me is going to larger baits. Don't know why, just never panned out.
I think the worse case scenario is when bait is so densley packed that fish are swallowing large mouthfuls with each pass. There's just no way to tempt them with a single fly. When I was younger, it used to frustrate me to the point of taking the fun out. Now, I just reel in my fly and stand and watch the show.
|Getting out to the edge. Dropping the fly deep too.
What has worked for you whilie fishing a blitz?
I have come across a few blitzs where the fish are so keyed in on the bait that what ever you throw at them they won't take. Other times it like taking candy from a baby. So what has been your most successful tactic?

Come home to this flavorful vegetable and beef stew - a slow cooked dinner.
It saves time to use stew beef, but take a few minutes to trim any extra fat off the beef before adding it to the bag with the stew seasoning. This will help reduce the amount of fat in the finished dish.
Ladle the stew into bowls, and sprinkle each serving with crumbled crisply cooked bacon and chopped fresh parsley. Serve with chunks of warm crusty bread to soak up all the flavorful gravy.

I could see Jeff Ireland liking Margus Hunt and I could even see Kevin Coyle liking him too if he really does like Jared Odrick at end. But I still feel there's something missing.
Hunt had an extraordinary game in the Hawaii Bowl...against 6'4" and 290 lbs FRESHMAN Alex Fifita (recognize the name?). Fifita's not just a freshman, he's a small-ish freshman that wasn't even on many schools' radar as a recruit. MaxPreps had him as the 735th ranked recruit...in California.
Hunt's frame, athletic ability and strength give him the promise of dominating like a J.J. Watt dominates. You watch J.J. Watt look like a man among boys out there, how big and strong he is, what a great frame, etc...and then you watch Margus Hunt, and even if they weren't the same skin color you'd see resemblance in the frame and potential for physical dominance. But Watt has, and always did have, so much better flexibility, balance, pad level, awareness...all the things that make you not just Ivan Drago trying to play defensive end, but actually a great football player.
I get genuinely worried about Margus Hunt because he's not very good against the run. You get worried he's going to be some kind of contradiction as a player. With his size a Kevin Coyle (and just about every other defensive coordinator) is going to look at him and say OK, he's a closed end type that reduces to the inside on pass rush downs. But that means he's a run stopper for at least half the time. Being so big and strong that should be fine. But being so aggressive, off-balance, not wholly aware, inflexible and raw...maybe that's not fine after all because I don't really consider him good against the run even in college. And at the same time, what if that raw combo size/athleticism isn't enough to make him a compelling pass rusher against NFL left and right tackles as opposed to freshman 290 lbs no-star prospects like Alex Fifita? Your backup plan is to put him at defensive tackle. But oh wait, bad pad level, awareness, flexibility, bad run stopper...just a pure gap penetrating tackle prone to ending up on the carpet. What use is that?
In short, I get worried that at the NFL level you've got a rotational defensive lineman whose largest impact comes on special teams as a kick blocker.

It was perfectly understandable that Bill Harsch was reluctant to answer the question.
At midday last Friday, September 29, relatives of the 100 people who perished in the Station nightclub fire were still sharing their heart-rending tales of loss at the Kent County Court House in Warwick.
It was a searing reminder for anyone listening — the court proceeding was carried live by local TV and radio stations — of just what a raw wound the February 2003 disaster remains for the hundreds of people touched by it. Adding insult to injury for many of these individuals was the plea bargain that short-circuited the possibility of a trial for Station co-owners Jeffrey and Michael Derderian, not to mention how Jeffrey Derderian was spared a single day in prison.
As we talked that day in his downtown Providence law office, Harsch was keenly aware of the anger and bitterness about the plea bargain — to the point of questioning the timing of our interview — although he demurred when asked about the direction of this welter of emotion. A day earlier, the Republican challenger to Attorney General Patrick Lynch had staged a news conference, charging that Lynch was either attempting to duck responsibility for the plea bargain or had lost control of the prosecution of the case. But now it took some warming up on other elements of his campaign message before Harsch would comment on the biggest news of the day, prefaced by an obligatory disclaimer: "I'm not thinking politics here."
However unsavory it might seem for a candidate to acknowledge the political implications of the Station plea bargain, the resolution of these criminal charges will hover over Lynch and Harsch, in different ways, in the slightly less than five weeks until Election Day. Lynch has steadily made himself available to talk about the case, but he probably can't wait for it to go away; Harsch desperately needs a big issue, but he may be incapable of seizing the moment.
The nightclub disaster is an extreme example of how, because of the contentious cases that invariably land on the attorney general's desk, the office has long been a graveyard for politically ambitious officeholders in Rhode Island. (Thanks be for Sheldon Whitehouse, almost four years have passed since the Democratic challenger to US Senator Lincoln Chafee was AG.)
At best, the bitterness and frustration about the plea bargain might help someone to build support for a classic outsider challenge to the Democratic incumbent.
But that someone doesn't appear to be Bill Harsch.
