In a fit of momentary enthusiasm for a project name, I figured I'd call it a little silver bullet, like silverbullette or silver pellet. I dashed off to inww and registered the domain name.
After a few "shiny poo" comments, the next morning I realised that I really didn't like the domain name. inww hadn't yet charged my Visa, so I wrote them an email asking for the domain registration to be changed to "srced.org".
They informed me that domain names couldn't be changed and that no refunds were possible and that I would have to go register a new domain name. It pisses me off that it's not possible to change a bit of data, because of procedural inefficiency. They didn't think of the customer asking for something like that, hence they have no procedure in place for it.
If they tried to put that procedure into place, the existing system would probably barf as it had no requirement to handle that kind of action. This poor interface leads to the one-way points, points where the user decides what they want and then are stuck with the consequences.
Before computers, it was possible to pull a piece of paper back from the out-tray, take a piece of paper from someone else's in-tray, or scribble notes in the margins when the form didn't cover something. Now, none of this is possible anymore. When I write an email and hit send, it's posted. I can't cancel the send, I can't get it back out of their email, I can't quickly scribble a correction onto the mail, etc.
Having no "undo" sounds so trivial, and yet I've just wasted $120 coz someone else's system doesn't have it. To avoid this kind of thing in future, I have to incorporate that one-way problem in someone else's system into my decision making process. My life is consequently that fraction more complex. Sure, it's my fault for buying the first stupid name in the first place, but wouldn't it be nice if they were capable of accomodating my request?
Computers are having a more direct impact on society than I imagined possible. No "undo" in a program equals no "undo" on a sales request equals poorer service. I'm used to affecting other people's lives with my computing skills, but I'm not used to having my life screwed up by deficiencies in other people's computer systems.
Programmers are used to be being the programmers and other people are the users. Now society is being computerised, programmers are users just as much as anyone else.
Good systems architecting and programming practices is as vital, if not more so, than engineering or architecture. A building falling apart kills a few people. Bad computer systems grind down the whole of society in a morass of ever-increasing difficulties and friction. The computer failures that have led to rocket launches failing are only a glimpse of the money being wasted by inefficient computer processes.
Put a good user interface on your systems and improve the quality of your own life!

Free Lemonade And Smiles For Minot, North Dakota
SPOKANE, Wash. - Cleanup from the flooding last month in Minot, North Dakota is slow but improving. The stories of struggle have inspired two Spokane boys to raise money for the Minot Red Cross.
On Sunday, RJ and Hunter Belanger, 11 and 7 respectively, set up a lemonade stand and offered free cups of the sweet stuff ? along with free smiles.
?We're just trying to help Minot, the flood,? RJ said.
Through the simplicity of a lemonade stand, RJ and Hunter are learning a life lesson: how to help others.
?It's sad that they're all losing their homes and it's the least, it's the least we can do,? RJ said.
Early on in their quest for donations, someone came with a dozen donuts and gave them to the boys to sell along with their lemonade. Then, a few minutes later, a couple stopped by and dropped $20 in their donation jar for two cups of lemonade.
This isn't the first time they've hocked lemonade for Minot. The boys set up a lemonade stand last Sunday, too. It was an idea inspired by two girls they found on Facebook who were also trying to raise money for Minot flood victims.
?I thought maybe we could do that, too,? RJ said.
Twenty dollars here, fifty cents there, the boys' donation jar quickly filled up. Which is a good thing since Hunter has big goals.
?I want to raise a billion dollars for the Red Cross,? Hunter said. He knows for sure that a billion dollars is at least more than a million, so they've got a shot.
RJ and Hunter are motivated by family. Their mother is from Minot, their uncle lost his home in the floods and their grandfather and cousins have all been displaced.
Paula Belanger, with tears in her eyes, reflected on how their family has come full circle. She grew up in Minot, she met her husband there, and now her boys are doing what they can to help her hometown.
?It almost makes you cry because they're just, they have big hearts and so that's, it's great,? Paula said.
When all is said and done the family is making the trip to Minot this summer. The boys plan to hand in the money themselves to the Red Cross.
?I want it to go to the Red Cross and help the people, help the houses,? RJ said.
They're two young brothers with a lemonade stand bringing out the best in Spokane.
UPDATE: By the end of their second Sunday lemonade stand, the boys had raised $300 and their father promised to match it.

My spring season came to a close today. Filled my sixth period tag with a 17-pound 2-year-old not long after flydown. (I think it might have been the pal of the bird I killed during fourth period.) This year was certainly the best I have ever had. I had tags for second, fourth, fifth and sixth and I filled them all. I'm sure that will never happen again and I'm betting -- with the new zones next year -- I will never even get a chance to hunt that many left-over tag seasons again. I also noticed a heck of a lot of those glorious 2-year-olds, which makes sense since I saw a lot of jakes last year.
Good luck to anyone with a tag remaining for this weekend.
P.S. thinking about next season already. I didn't see nearly as many jakes this year as last. I'm wondering what the 2-year-old population might be like next year. What did you see?

text: The Environmental Waste Services Department launched the Route Optimization program in early March. As a result of balancing the residential collection routes for trash, recycling and brush and bulky goods, EWS is experiencing a higher than normal volume of missed collections and reminds residents to have their trash, recycling, and brush and bulky goods at the collection point by 7 a.m. on the day of collection. "Our routes are timed to begin at 7 a.m. and end by 5:30 p.m.," explained Lonnie Banks, EWS Managing Director. "If all containers are at the collection point by 7 a.m., we avoid missed collections and gain efficiencies to provide better service to all our customers."

Trac Google Analytics Plugin
This is an external plugin, any questions and/or bugs should be submitted to:
Development on this project has been discontinued, and is up for adoption.
See #Patches at the bottom of this page for community-submitted patches.
Previously known as Google Analytics Plugin, this plugin will enable your trac environment to be logged by Google Analytics.
It adds the necessary javascript code to log your environment, plus, it also logs the downloads of regular filenames which end with a specific extension; these extensions are defined by you; and also external links.
Plugin has been renamed and package hierarchy has changed to join other trac plugins that addressed Google services.
Download and Install
The easiest way to install is using EasyInstall:
sudo easy_install TracGoogleAnalytics
Then, to enable the plugin add to the [components] section in your trac.ini:
[components] tracext.google.analytics.* = enabled
- The necessary configuration is:
UID: Google Analytics' UID. The UID is needed for Google Analytics to log your website stats. Your UID can be found by looking in the JavaScript Google Analytics gives you to put on your page. Look for your UID in between the javascript:
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-111111-11");
In this example you would put UA-11111-1 in the UID box.
- There are other, more advanced configuration options:
admin_logging: Disabling this option will prevent all logged in TRAC_ADMIN's from showing up on your Google Analytics reports.
outbound_link_tracking: Disabling this option will turn off the tracking of outbound links. It's recommended not to disable this option unless you're a privacy advocate (now why would you be using Google Analytics in the first place?) or it's causing some kind of weird issue.
google_external_path: This will be the path shown on Google Analytics regarding external links. Consider the following link:
Trac
The above link will be shown as:
This way you will be able to track outgoing links. Outbound link tracking must be enabled for external links to be tracked.

Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico (PRWEB) November 30, 2011
The Punta Sayulita resort community announced the dates for the 3rd Annual Punta Sayulita Longboard & Stand-Up Paddle Classic to be held on March 9 – 11, 2012 in the beautiful surfside village of Sayulita, Mexico, 40 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta along Mexico's tropical pacific coastline known as the "Riviera Nayarit."
Over the past two years, the Punta Sayulita Classic has developed into one of the premier surfing and stand-up paddle events in North America attracting thousands of spectators and one of the deepest international fields of professional athletes as well as talented amateurs competing head-to-head in longboard and stand-up paddle ("SUP") surfing contests as well as in an array of exciting offshore SUP distance races. With the generous support of the event's sponsors, the invitee ambassadors and professional athletes, the event has successfully raised awareness for environmental protection and respect for the world's oceans and wildlife as well as financially supported the local chapter of The Reef Check Eco-Diver Program and the Punta Sayulita Foundation's educational and youth development programs.
"In addition to the return of last year's defending surf contest champions Sean Poynter of San Diego, CA (SUP), Darren Eudaly of Laguna Beach, CA (longboard), Mary Osborne of Ventura, CA (longboard) as well as SUP distance and Elite Race champions Slater Trout of Maui, HI and the #1 ranked female paddler in the world, Candice Appleby of Oahu, HI, the 3rd Annual Punta Sayulita Classic has received early commitments from many of the top international longboard and SUP professionals including last year's 3rd place finisher and extreme waterman, Garrett McNamara, who recently rode a world record breaking 90 foot wave, the #1 ranked SUP surfing star Kai Lenny of Maui, HI, past longboard world champions Collin McPhillips and Kai Sallas, past SUP Classic distance race champion Chuck Patterson and many more, reported Kevin Roberts, a Principal with Punta Sayulita. Roberts also added, "by far, this will be the deepest and most talented field at the Punta Sayulita Classic and will be a phenomenal showcase of talent for the spectators to enjoy."
In a fantastic effort to spread the 'aloha spirit' of the Punta Sayulita Classic, event sponsor Maui Jim Sunglasses will be well represented again with their team ambassadors lead by surfing legend Gerry Lopez, SUP stars Zane Schweitzer and Matt Becker along with the talented and renown Hawaiian waterman father and son combination of Aaron and Riggs Napoleon.
In addition to the action packed weekend of surf competitions and SUP races on the water, on land the festivities at the Punta Sayulita will continue. Following last year's energetic reggae benefit concert performed by international reggae recording artist, Mishka, this year's edition of the Punta Sayulita Classic benefit concert will feature reggae recording legend, Pato Banton. The free concert will take place on Saturday night, March 10th at 8:00 p.m., following Day 2 of competitions. "We are very fortunate to have the support of a musician of Pato's caliber to allocate time from his schedule to play the benefit concert for the event. When Pato learned about the event and how the event raised money for the Reef Check and Punta Sayulita Foundation programs, he was very gracious and eager to support the event and we are very thankful for his generous support," remarked Kevin Roberts of Punta Sayulita.
The 3rd Annual Punta Sayulita Classic will again feature on the event schedule a surfing clinic for special needs and underprivileged children under the supervision of renowned Malibu, CA longboard surfer, Jimmy Gamboa, and members of his THERAsurf organization along with other participating Punta Sayulita Classic professionals and instructors from local Sayulita surf schools.
With the addition of Alaska Airlines as the official airlines of the 3rd Annual Punta Sayulita Classic, travelling to Sayulita to compete in the surf contests or SUP races or to simply take part in the weekend festivities will be easy. For many years, Alaska Airlines has been one of the most active airlines flying to Mexico and offers nonstop flights to Puerto Vallarta from numerous west coast cities including San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. More importantly, Alaska Airlines has generously authorized a 7% discount on airfare for those travelling to compete or wishing to attend the Punta Sayulita Classic. Mention discount code ECMG443 when booking flight reservations. Alaska Airlines is also expanding their surfboard length dimensions so competitors can travel with a SUP stock race board up to 12'6" in length.
Proceeds raised at the 3rd Annual Punta Sayulita Classic will be donated to the Reef Check and Punta Sayulita Foundations. According to Punta Sayulita Classic Director, Kevin Roberts, "the past two Punta Sayulita Classics were a great example of an event that was predicated on the good old vibe in surfing known as the 'aloha spirit' and with the fantastic support and generosity of the surfing community and the sponsors who share the love for the ocean, the 3rd Annual Punta Sayulita Classic is expecting to outperform the fundraising from last year which, at the end of the day, is a significant financial contribution to support the important environmental and community programs established by the Reef Check and Punta Sayulita Foundations."

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: Paul Rosenfeld—an art and music critic as well as a friend of O'Keeffe and Stieglitz—published the following in 1924. "O'Keeffe gives her perceptions utterly immediate, quivering, warm. She gives the world as it is known to woman. No man could feel as Georgia O'Keeffe and utter himself in precisely such curves and colors, for in those curves and spots and prismatic color there is the woman referring the universe to her own frame, her own balance, and rendering in her picture of things her body's subconscious knowledge of itself. The feeling of shapes in this painting is certainly one pushed from within. What men have always wanted to know and women to hide, this girl sets forth. Essence of womanhood impregnates color and mass, giving proof of the truthfulness of a life."

When we think of the cost of SPAM, energy resources are not the first thing that comes to mind. Certainly there is the human resource spent on reading, filing, and deleting it. And there is the lost productivity and business from IT departments fixing problems related to malicious SPAM. But what about the raw energy consumption being expended.
According to an article on Tech Blorge, and based on a study from McAfee, the amount of computer power required to support SPAM is mind boggling. A single SPAM email takes enough energy to move a car 3 feet. You realize the sheer mass of volume of SPAM, when you realize that that consumes enough power to drive a car around the globe… not once or twice, but 1.6 million times each year!
SPAM filters are doing a good job at reducing the energy consumption at the receiving end, but volume being sent accounts for the majority of waste. Filters and alias email addresses do help significantly with time saving and inbox security.

My recent experiences with online courses
Last year, when the online AI Class was announced by Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig, I was thrilled and immediately signed up. Soon two other courses were offered. At work, I do low level software and have not formally studied AI or Databases or Machine Learning, not did I really see a need, in immediate future, to apply them in my job. Neverthless, I was thrilled at the possibility to hear and work with Stanford professors through these courses and enrolled for the AI course.
The AI class started and I think I could keep up my motivation level for the first 3 or 4 units. There were others distractions like family and work. I had to do a bit to extra work to learn some background mathematics and also read up the text to keep up with the lectures. Somehow, at that point of time, it all couldn't fit together in my scheme of things, so I decided to discontinue. When I think back, I think I could have completed the course with a bit of extra effort, which I was not really putting at that point of time, instead I came up with some excuses! One of my cynical friends had predicted that I and some others at work who enrolled with me would all discontinue the course and I was sad that he was right.
Then the creation of Coursera and Udacity were announced. When I saw the announcement for the Design and analysis of Algorithms - 1 course from Stanford, I was extremely thrilled. I had always wanted to learn about analysis of algorithms but have never taken a formal course. I enrolled for the course and started working on the lectures. Tim Roughgarden, who was the lecturer for the course was going at a bit fast rate than what I could keep up. But somehow I caught up with lectures by working on them late nights and early mornings. I took notes as I went along. Taking notes meant, I had to watch the same lecture two or three times in some cases. It quickly blew up the time required to complete one week worth of lectures and sometime spilled over to the next week. But for me, it was liking playing a game. The problem sets and programming assignments were staggered by a week and so I could submit them on time. I was looking forward to the lectures and what new stuff Tim is going to throw at us, students. I did not find much time to participate in the forums. The programming assignments were mostly easy and was something I was really looking forward to. I used Racket for my programs and turned out that some others taking the course were also using Racket. It was a joy to program in Racket through out the course. During the last week of the course, I was with my parents and didn't have a working Internet connection. After struggling with the phone company and wasting a lot of time on it, I decided to download the vides from elsewhere and work offline. In the end, I used my phone to connect to the Internet using GPRS and use my laptop via tethering to submit answer to the problem set and programming assignments. Overall, I think I did the tests very well.
Here are somethings I liked/disliked about the course:
- Teacher is the most important element in a class. If teacher is uninteresting, everything else is. No amount of technology can save the situation. Tim is a great teacher. He talks a bit fast but after a while I started loving his style of talking and teaching. Some other classes (don't want to point fingers at any specific course) didn't have as good a teacher as Tim.
- Free style writing on White/Black board instead of powerpoint was one of the highlights of the course. I think it was crucial for the success of the course. Many other courses which I signed up at Coursera were using powerpoints and the teachers (some of the greatest names in CS) were reading out from the powerpoint slides. I couldn't sustain interest in such courses, how much ever great those teachers are. The way Tim taught the class is a role model and brought back memories of some of the best classes I had taken in real classroom years ago when I was a fulltime student.
- Timing and difficulty level of the exercises within the lecture is another extremely important element.
- A good teacher is far far better than self-learning from a book. I learnt tons of new things in these 5 weeks than I would have ever learnt in 5 weeks of reading.
- The importance of taking notes cannot be overstated. This was the single best decision I ever took. I carried the notebooks around along with my laptop and used it whenever I got free time (sometime, even at work, when I am waiting for compilation to finish or in the evenings). The notes were handy while doing problem sets and programming assignments for a quick revisit to some particular lecture or to look up specific algorithm etc.
- I didn't use any text book though Tim recommended a few. I have CLR with me, but surprisingly I didn't use it much while doing the course.
- If I have seen one single use of Technology in recent times that positively affects the human beings, then that is this new experiment of online teaching.
Overall, it was a great experience with this course and I would like to thank Tim and Coursera for offering this great course online. I am looking forward to the part 2 of this course.
I also signed up for some of the new courses offered at Udacity. One of them that I am really excited about is the Web design course by Steve Huffman. I really like the style of presentation at Udacity. It is direct. It is short. The listener is tested at the end of (almost) every video. That makes it extremely interesting. Just like playing a video game!

The International Diabetes Federation's Life for a Child (LFAC) Programme is now supporting over 10,000 children with diabetes in developing countries, reaching the milestone target that was set at a landmark meeting in London in 2008.
In October of that year, IDF brought together representatives from leading global stakeholders (World Health Organisation, Ministries of Health, professional diabetes societies, national diabetes associations, philanthropic foundations, humanitarian organisations and industry partners) to find urgent solutions to address the issues of affordability and accessibility of insulin and other essential diabetes supplies in the developing world.
Life for Child was supporting 1,000 children in 20 countries at that time and the target was set to increase this figure to 10,000 in the first instance. The meeting was truly a turning point for the Programme, which has gone from strength to strength. The target has been reached with increasing numbers of young people with diabetes, in 39 countries, receiving vital insulin, syringes and monitoring supplies.
IDF, the Australian Diabetes Council, HOPE worldwide and all LFAC recipient centres extend their sincere thanks to the many individuals, associations, companies and foundations who have helped make this achievement possible.
See all the countries in which LFAC is helping [2].

CAPTAIN BLY (Commander Bly?): The clone commander on Feluscia (sp?) was apparently nicknamed Bly. That was the planet where Allya Secura (sp?) was killed, in a Jedi mutiny. Perhaps like Capt. Bly from Mutiny on the Bounty?
EXECUTIVE ORDER #1066 (Order 66?): This was the presential order from FDR soon after the Pearl Harbor attack that considered Japanese (and Japanese American citizens) as potential risks and required that they be rounded up and put into internment camps. Order 66 was Palpatine's galaxy-wide signal to eliminate any Jedi Knights.

WHO – Serological TB diagnostics tests are unreliable and must be banned
Every year, an estimated 1.5 million patients are subjected to the diagnostic tests of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in India. Furthermore, out of the 75 new sputum positive cases of TB that are reported every year, about two percent are confirmed to be of the drug-resistant variety.
Also read:
Related interviews / columns:
The adverse scenario is further compounded by the lack of reliable serological diagnostic tests. The lack of a dependable serological test is so acute that even the World Health Organization (WHO) in its policy recommendation suggested that a ban be implemented on such tests as unreliable serological tests give imprecise results and cause inconsistent diagnosis of TB, thus leading to risk to human lives.

Notable Oregonians: Meriwether Lewis - Explorer
Born in Virginia in 1774, Meriwether Lewis developed a love of the wilderness and became an expert hunter as a child. He served in the militia during the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794 in western Pennsylvania and later transferred into the regular army.
In 1801 Lewis became private secretary to President Thomas Jefferson, who for the next two years unofficially prepared Lewis for leadership of a transcontinental exploring expedition. Fellow Virginian William Clark was appointed at the request of Lewis to share his command. When the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory in 1803, Congress appropriated $2,500 for its exploration. To further prepare for the expedition before leaving, Lewis studied botany, zoology, and celestial navigation in Philadelphia.
The three-year expedition, from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean at the Oregon Coast and back, succeeded not only because of the party's skills but also because its two leaders worked together in such close harmony. The party spent a long and wet winter in the general vicinity of the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon before returning east. Following Jefferson's instructions, Lewis and his colleagues kept a detailed journal of the trip, thus contributing a priceless narrative of North American exploration. These diaries helped dispel ignorance about the region and did much to open the way for westward expansion.
Lewis and Clark each received 1,600 acres of public land as a reward for their efforts. On his resignation from the army Lewis was named governor of Louisiana Territory in 1808. He died under mysterious circumstances at an inn on the Natchez Trace while en route to Washington. The controversy about whether his death resulted from murder or suicide continues.
Commemorating the bicentennial of the 1804-1806 expedition, celebrations began in 2004 in cities and historic sites along the Corps of Discovery's route.

Kawai K5000
The K5000 was Kawai's top of the line music workstation digital synthesizer when it was released back in 1996. It's a bold and elegantly designed synth with a large LCD display, realtime controls and incredible sounds! The look and functionality is rivals the competition from the time...the Korg Trinity and Kurzweil K2500.
Programming sounds with the K5000 can be a breeze (once you learn how) although it has over 1,000 parameters per patch! That's plenty to play with. It combines additive synthesis and PCM sampled waveforms for you to layer and combine to design a whole range of sounds. Plenty of LFO modulation, filters and envelope controls allow you to shape and morph your sounds further. On-board multi-effects add the final touch of life to your sounds.
Once you've created some sounds, there's the on-board sequencer (K5000W only) for creating songs or loading Standard Midi File sequences (via disk-drive). It has a 40,000 note capacity and 40 tracks. Real-time record and step-edit modes are available and the sequencer is pretty straight forward.
The K5000S (pictured above) adds 12 dedicated knobs for hands-on control of filter, LFO and envelope parameters. There are 4 user-definable knobs and 2 assignable switches. The K5000S also has a 40-pattern arpeggiator on-board with 8 user-definable patterns too! K5000's have been used by Kraftwerk.
In 1997 a rack-module version of the K5000 was released. The rack version shipped with Kawai's more stable OS 3.0 software. The latest is 4.03 and is free to upgrade via download from Kawai. The rack offers all the same power and flexibility as its keyboard counterparts. To get a more hands-on-knobs control of the K5000 (like the K5000S) there is a Knobs Macro box. But other controllers such as Encore Knobby or Keyfax Phatboy can also do the trick.

Here's a bit of an odd question. I think it's bogus, but figured I'd throw it out to be confirmed or denied for certain.
I saw on Facebook that a friend of mine who's also a SW collector commented on a status from a page called "Star Wars The Vintage Collection." Their status reads as follows:
Several comments from people freaking out, and I had the momentary "Omigod! How will I get the last wave? Is there even anyone in that wave I need?" thoughts. I even checked the site they cited, which I'd never heard of before tonight but appears to be a SW collecting blog, and can't find this information there anywhere.WTF?!?!!? Hasbro management need a kick in the head!!!! Khai
*IMPORTANT NEWS FOR VINTAGE COLLECTORS* Last wave of vintage will NOT be reaching USA/CAN/AUS retail At ALL! Only online stores will get stock. Only EUR will get limited retail stock. Last wave of Vintage drama as usual. Don't say we didn't warn you...
Like I said, looks to me to be 110% made up, but has anyone heard anything along these lines (preferably from a reputable source)?
Or should I break out PhotoShop, play around with some photos from earlier conventions, and claim to have bought some of the canceled G.I. Joe figures at Ross so I can make everyone rush out to look for figures that were never produced? (Just kidding.)

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Kush is On
You can gen good makings at any auto supply store. The black works great.
If you do a search you can find a number of threads with ideas of other acceptable material.
The problem is likely that the tube material is brittle. I think I am familiar with the tube material you are referring to. I know I had similar problems when I used the stems of hollow Q-Tips.
What I use now is truck air-brake hose that Dana buys by the 10 or 20' roll from an auto supply shop. The stuff is black and can be a body for a dark fly all by itself. I use it for most of my tubes. I have recently used some very fine diameter graphite tubes that a rod designer friend of mine gave me - it is very sweet material - but I don't imagine it will be widely available.
If I were you I would switch from the brittle tube material and try to find a material that is a little more supple.
Hey Kush--broken tubes
Since Kush has posted as many tube flies as anyone else I'll direct but not limit this post to him. Believe me if anyone has some advice, please help me.
The problem is the tube bodies keep breaking about 3/4 of the way up on the fly after just a short time of use. The first time or two I just shrugged it off but it has become a regular occurence. The tube stock is cut to 1 1/8 inch long, is 1/8 inch O.D., white in color, and purchased at the local hobby shop, the stuff they use on their model trains. This was my source since I really wanted to avoid the high price in the flyshop if I could help it but 10 minutes use of a 30 minute tie is no bargain either.
If this has happened to anyone and you found a cure, please post it because I'm about to swear off tube flies.

Kwankao Chor. Rajapatsadu-Esarn vs. Pornsaneh Sitmonchai
Ponmongkol K.T. Gym vs. Saksuriya Gaiyanghadao
Kumarntong Jitmuangnont vs. Phetsila Kiatmoo9
This week's big show takes place on Thursday at Rajadamnern Stadium with a card headlined by another fight between Saeksan Or. Kwanmuang and Singthongnoi Por. Telakoon. All of their fights have been all out wars and this one shouldn't be any different. Both Saeksan and Singthongnoi are in super exciting fights every time. Singthongnoi won their last fight, which was a grueling clinch battle. Since then, Saeksan drew with Pettawee and Singthongnoi was involved in one of the top fights of last year against Kongsak, which he lost.
Right under the main event on Thursday, Pakorn is back in action. Pakorn is another fighter that's always fun to watch. His last few fights in Thailand haven't been against the elite and that continues here. Maybe a win here could get him another top fight. I'd love to see him fight Saeksan or Singthongnoi. Also returning is Saengmanee Tor. Tienpo, the teenage phenom, in his first fight since his win streak finally came to a halt against Superlek Wor. Sungprapai in December.
All in all, Thursday's show is stacked.
Friday sees a big rematch between Pornsaneh and Kwankao. Pornsaneh stopped Kwankao the last time they fought and comes off another stoppage win over Yokvithaya Phetsimean on February 7, so he's fighting just 10 days after his last fight. Also on the card is a solid fight between Pongmongkol and Saksuriya. Ponmongkol is one to watch and scored an impressive stoppage via knees to the body in his last fight against Saengmorakot in January.

schoen: I have thought of a much better reason for rejecting the idea that God has falsified reality - it is irrelevant. We assume that God did this well enough so the world was entirely consistent. Then, there are no features (or even possible features) that could distinguish the world I believe we live in for the fraudulent one created by God. So, what is the meaning of the claim that "God could have faked evolution"? Not only is it non-falsifiable, like most creationist statements, but it is also non-verifiable. So it's meaningless. I might respond to the rest of your arguments after I get some sleep.
And what, precisely, does
grep a{0}match? I'm quite curious.
deekayen: First, since AIDS is a subject upon which you are clearly clueless, why do you choose to bring it up? Do you feel threatened by people's concern for the victims of AIDS?
Second, what about unprotected sex causes the participants to forfeit their right to life? You seem to believe that even condoms don't make a difference here, yet the odds of being killed driving to meet someone at random is higher than the odds of dying of AIDS contracted from that person, if you use a condom. Are people who drive cars deserving of death also?
Third, do you have any idea just how racist and stupid you comment about Africa was? Not only did you make ludicrous claims about subjects you obviously know nothing about, but you claimed that Sub-Saharan Africa has merely one culture.
Fourth, if you have no sympathy for the people who have contracted AIDS while engaged in activities in which you disapprove, at least feel for the the babies, infected in their mother's womb. Or the children who have lost their parents to AIDS. Or the remaining members of the villages who lose half their population. Or every person who has someone they care about die of the disease. Better still, get a clue:
I'm not even going to try to address the truly repulsive "survival of the fittest" notions you mentioned.
Thanks, schoen for the /dev/mem trick that saved this entry from Mozilla.

The Loop: Royal Baby reporting and Tay Allen
On this episode of The Loop, I talk about the Royal Baby. Everyone else is, but I take a different approach from CNN: I couldn't care less about his royal butt.
Let's face it: The media got a little excited over this one. But there was one man, one glorious BBC reporter, who had it with all the baby news. It's worth seeing what he had to say.
I also take a look at the worst music video right now, possibly in the history of man. Tay Allen's "Mass Text" is awful in every way when it comes to lyrics, but her video is worse than the song. I had no idea it was possible.
I apologize for her clips I had to include in the video. Sincerely.

CTU Student Shahram Tabatabaei decided to take on the design and construction of a quadcopter as the final task of his electrical engineering program.
With an electrical engineering degree there are many career paths you can pursue. CTU outlines some of the opportunities.
IT professionals work to keep business information safe on mobile devices. Do you know the security techniques to protect your technology?
Hackers are generally thought of as devious criminals who crack into top-secret government files, or spread nasty computer viruses. The devious reputation of hackers is somewhat deserved – breaking into computer networks is illegal, after all. But there's another type of hacker with a good reputation for doing this exact thing, albeit for less self-serving purposes.
One of Google's latest and most ambitious projects is Google Fiber, a new Internet and cable TV service that may revolutionize how we access and pay for high-speed Internet connectivity.
As a self-taught programmer, you already know how to write code and design applications. So why get a computer science degree on top of that? There are two reasons. One, getting a degree can make you an even better programmer. Two, it can give you a competitive edge in the industry.
Learning new programming languages is one of the most important skills that any computer science or Information Technology student has to master. For many students, studying solely via textbook is challenging and time consuming. Studying through textbooks alone is also typically inadequate at teaching the complicated scientific concepts used in computer programming. A collaborative teaching environment called Code Camp may be one of the most effective methods for learning innovative new computer programming concepts.
Google Glass is a smartphone product that you wear on your head as you would a pair of glasses. Just as you've seen in futuristic movies, a display shows your view of information and images. It has a video camera that you command by voice to record what you see, take a snapshot or both. You can stream the video you take or share photos in near real-time. With built-in wireless and GPS, you can display onscreen everything you would expect to access on your mobile computer. An army of developers has already created the Explorer Edition and is now busy making apps specifically for Glass.
Today, cloud computing is one of the most cost effective ways of managing enterprises and web applications. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) explains that cloud computing enables "…on-demand network access to a shared pool of networks, servers, storage, applications and services that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." It's convenient and efficient technology, for sure.
The Information Technology (IT) function has become increasingly important to overall decision-making and strategy implementation in businesses. That's not surprising when you consider how technology drives competitive advantage. Innovation enables businesses to stay ahead of the competition, delivering and satisfying more customers more effectively and efficiently. Further, IT is now an important revenue generator as an increasing share of consumer sales are transacted through mobile and online channels.

Virtually all government and business databases and operations are digitized. Most are linked through communications networks, with many accessible via the Internet. Since information, from national security secrets to trade secrets and daily business operations, is housed in computers and their networks, it's not surprising that cyberattacks are a major threat to the cyberworld. Within cyberspace, attacks motivated by criminals, hostile governments, terrorists, ex-employees with grudges and hackers have become an epidemic problem.
For data to truly be an asset, there must be processes, procedures, systems and ownership that insure the accuracy, integrity and timeliness of the data. If data does not have these attributes and capabilities, then why should we be concerned with protecting it? This reveals an obvious front-end requirement of the spectrum of data protection.
Hands down, cloud technology is changing the IT landscape whether we're ready for it or not. The cloud offers businesses and their IT functions greater flexibility and at a more cost-effective rate, so we can expect this trend to become a mainstay, especially in health care related businesses.
In most organizations, the Chief Security Officer (CSO) or Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is responsible for alerting the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and other key executives of potential security risks related to the business' critical Information Systems (IS) infrastructure and data. Another key responsibility is to mitigate cyber-attacks.

Reform of the United Nations Security Council
Something finally needs to be done about reforming the United Nations Security Council! If it is not adapted to the geopolitical realities of the 21st century, that is, if it does not ensure in particular adequate representation of the global South and major contributors to the UN system, the Security Council's legitimacy and authority are at risk. moreReform of the United Nations Security Council

Brazen...shocking...nutszo. Call it whatever you want, but this flyer the Department of Agriculture is planning to circulate in the Hispanic community proudly boasts that you don't have to declare your "immigration status" to get food stamps.
Breitbart:A government watchdog group has discovered that the United States government is advising Spanish-speaking residents that they need not declare their immigration status to qualify for food stamps.Judicial Watch obtained the Spanish-language flyers through a Freedom of Information Act request and announced on Thursday that the "promotion of the food stamp program, now known as 'SNAP' (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), includes a Spanish-language flyer provided to the Mexican Embassy by the USDA.
A statement on the flyer--emphasized in bold and underlined--reads, "You need not divulge information regarding your immigration status in seeking this benefit for your children."

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with at least 2.8 million people dying each year as a result of being overweight or obese. Once associated with high-income countries, obesity is now also prevalent in low- and middle-income countries.
Governments, international partners, civil society, non governmental organizations and the private sector all have vital roles to play in contributing to obesity prevention.

Bartels named to state post
Posted March 28, 2001; 02:16 p.m.
Bartels, professor of politics and public affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, has been named to the state Apportionment Commission that is remapping New Jersey's 40 legislative districts. The appointment was made by Supreme Court Chief Justice Deborah Poritz on Tuesday.
Bartels, who will serve as the independent, 11th member of the board, is the Donald E. Stokes Professor in Public and International Affairs. Coincidentally, Stokes, a distinguished political scientist who served for 18 years as dean of the Woodrow Wilson School, served the Commission in the same tie-breaking role in both 1991 and in 1981. Stokes died of acute leukemia in 1998.
The Commission, which also has five Democrats and five Republicans as members, rearranges the boundaries of voting districts to reflect shifts in population detected in the decennial census. It is charged with redistricting before key state elections this year.

Or rather, broken CDs. There are many lists of crippled, handicapped, 'copy-protected' CDs out there, but this one started by the renowned German CT magazine seems just a little more thorough than the average one. Deutsche Grundlichkeit, I suppose. In German, of course, but that shouldn't scare you as long as you click on the 'Datenbank abfragen' link.
Looking at this, it does feel good to boycot the music industry.

[QUOTE=ohall;1064579425]If you have one of those jobs, I doubt you would hold this kind of irrational, and wonderland type of thinking. Simply amazing, lol![/QUOTE
whats amazing is how some people think that the dolphins have so much impact on the economy that we should give out welfare to fix Ross's stadium. The NFL and Ross are quite able to fund their own endeavers. They are just beyond greedy and try to use the taxpayers to enhance millionaires pockets. We could create more jobs than the dolphins do with 200 million dollars. Plenty of economists would argue that the overall financial impact for a ciity having an nfl team are quite minimal. If the dolphins want to share some of their profits with the taxpayers and payback the loan Im all for it. I dont think anybody that is visiting Miami should pay one more cent extra just so Ross can get more for his team when he sells it. Why does Ross deserve welfare while other companies who have less of a profit margin have to actually pay for their buildings all on their own. It is not the community's job to make sure that Ross's stadium is up to par, thats Ross's job.
And save the minimal economic impact crap for someone that believes building highways is the answer to our countries economic problems...
I wont even get into how absolutely silly it is to be in favor of depriving hundreds(if not thousands) of construction workers jobs because Ross provides his dozens of employees with jobs. Numbers seem to be a complete mystery to you, so im not surprised your totally confused by what tax payer money is used for.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 6
Unfortunately this bill won't drift away. They didn't dare prioritize it, as someone pointed out early in the thread. That would have prompted scathing columns, with comparisons to other topics lower on the ladder. This way they can keep it just outside the feature bills while maintaining every intention to bring it up.
There is still time to contact the senators. I've done so and received one thoughtful long reply, saying I brought up points she had not considered.
I'm in opposition, willing to bide time for a new stadium. The idea that the Dolphins will otherwise move is laughable. That's another standby of that mindset...pure irrational fear. For anyone who dreads the franchise will move, I'd like them to set the odds on everything. Yes, everything. Not for betting purposes, necessarily. But comedy value. It would be a daily riot.
Roads should be patched...not stadiums.
Any money collected on this bill is collected solely for the purpose of the stadium upgrades. No Bill, no money, no upgrades.
On a side note, highway programs is not the backbone of any cities economy, or countries economy. Some of you have been told a HUGE lie by a certain so called leader of this country.

New York City bid hard for the new stadium that hosts the Jets and Giants, but it was built in New Jersey instead of Manhattan. Go look up the story about how Foxborough beat out Boston for the right to build Gillette Stadium. Ross will go wherever he gets the best deal, and some county/city will give him that deal at some point.
Chris Christie has also been VERY proactive in building up New Jersey, as have many of the politicians who were in control once this building broke ground. They already had the land, as they were putting the new building right next to the old one. Not to mention, NYC was in no position to fund a stadium right after the Yankees and Mets both opened new stadiums, although I think the Yankees mostly funded privately.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned that one network (think it was CNN) focused on two signs that could be interpreted as "racist". In the audio I heard, another reporter countered with the observation that only "a handful" of signs would fall into that category.
Some representative of the 9-12'ers (or tea-baggers, don't recall which) made a statement categorically disavowing any form of racism as part of their goals. Like any large group, of either right or left persuasion, I think you would find "a handful" of extreme views. I'm sure you could find at least "a handful" of O supporters who really believe socialism is the answer to our problems.
Even in this forum there is a spectrum of variation in those who are either right or left of center on any given issue. Even on the matter of gun control there is variation, i.e. whether there is reason to truly ban certain types of weapons. Some have expressed that they would not object to certain weapons being banned (certain weapons specifically designed for military personnel); while there are others who feel no bans on any types of guns would be appropriate. Yet, from my observation, there is fairly uniform agreement that a criminal record should preclude being able to have a gun. I'll apologize in advance if my observations here are incorrect. It is my recollection on such discussions in the past on the forum.

Hunger is one of the greatest crimes, says Amos in WFP tribute
"In a world where so many of us have so much... one in seven people go to bed hungry every night," the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, Valerie Amos, has said in a video tribute to the World Food Programme (WFP) on its fiftieth anniversary.
WFP has led the global fight against hunger since 1962. About 925 million people worldwide do not have enough to eat—more than the combined population of the United States, Canada and the European Union. WFP helps feed millions of people affected by crisis every day.
"Hunger is one of the greatest crimes in our world today. It should not exist, but where it does WFP is playing an essential role in ensuring that people get the help they need to survive," says Ms. Amos.
"I have seen, in Somalia, children so weak that they can't even lift their heads—their mothers in despair. I have seen women in Niger who have walked for days in search of food. Recently in North Korea, I saw an entire population weakened and stunted by malnutrition."
From Niger to South Sudan, Haiti to Colombia, Afghanistan to Myanmar, Yemen to the occupied Palestinian territory, WFP has 14,500 aid workers in 92 countries serving 100 million people.

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
Photographer Bill Philip was born in 1946 and grew up surrounded by the scenic beauty of his native Scotland and the magnificent Lake District, which can be seen in the atmospheric shots of the landscape that formed the background of his early years: the mountains, lochs and seas of the northern wilderness.
The photographer received his B.A. in Fine Art Photography from The University of Westminster and following his career as a professional photographer, Philip started sharing his wealth of knowledge more widely when he was elected as the Director of Arts at his old university.
Combining traditional photography with advanced digital techniques, Bill Philip's images employ a chiaroscuro technique, a style characterized by sharp contrasts between light and dark in his photographic prints.
Philip is a founding member of the Arundel Gallery Trail and has been showered with numerous high-profile awards including the Kodak Portrait Award and a print award from the British Institute of Incorporated Photographers. His photographs have been published and exhibited globally and the most recent showings have been the Affordable Art Fair in London and the Brighton Festival in 2010.
Bill Philips also accepts commercial commissions from varying institutions such as the Atrium Restaurant in London, Thorpe Architects, and The Times newspaper, so you may be more exposed to his work than you think. Philip is currently lives and works in West Sussex.

Oyster roasts abound this time of year, but few offer such an amazing Lowcountry experience as the oyster roast at Dill Sanctuary. Incredible views of the Stono River greeted guests, who strolled about enjoying the unseasonably warm weather.
Oyster tables laden with heaps of fresh, steaming Gulf oysters sat under the ancient live oaks, and partygoers grabbed a pair of neon orange gloves and an oyster knife as the festivities got underway.
Blue Plantation Band provided lively bluegrass tunes, and many people unpacked folding chairs and settled in for a pleasant afternoon or headed off on the guided nature walk around the property. Those craving something more substantial than oysters enjoyed savory chili and followed by birthday cake. Contented guests could be spotted across the property, and in partygoer Marcia Rosenberg's words, "The oysters are wonderful, the weather is perfect, and obviously, the views are magnificent!"
This year marks the 240th "birthday" for the Charleston Museum, founded in 1773. Commonly regarded as "America's First Museum", the Charleston Museum opened to the public in 1824 and has strived to document and explain the natural and cultural history of Charleston and the South Carolina coastal region through the maintenance, improvement, and expansion of collections documenting the natural forms and material culture of this region.

Grubs Are Good Eats
You Mean It's Not All About Quantity?
Have you ever known anyone who thought it was a good idea to live on donuts because they loved donuts? Or live on any one thing because it tasted so good? Well, if you have, then you probably know how that sort of limited diet works out. Not well!
- On The Hunt For A Balanced Diet at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S7m-HjR8ag
No Duh's and Head Scratchers
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- Why do you think researchers assumed that predators were all about quantity and calories? Does this seem like a reasonable assumption to you? Why or why not?
- Why do you think humans have to learn about the importance of a balanced diet, but other animals seem to know this intuitively? Does this effect your view of intelligence? Why or why not?
- How does this work change your view of basic evolutionary theory? Is it consistent with what you thought you knew? Why or why not?
- How does this work affect your view of the functioning of ecosystems? Does this change your view of the role of predators in an ecosystem? Why or why not?

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The GL3 is a fair overhead casting rod but a lot softer than the euro blanks for sure. Other options you might consider are the two-handed rods that Bean and others are trying clear out at their outlet stores.
Another good bargain is the St.Croix 3pc, which is more of an overhand rod than a Spey rod.
I have been messing with this stuff for several years and have my opinions on the topic. I feel a shorter, fast/med.fast progressive taper is best and in weights 11 and above because with the other hand in play even 10wt is childsplay.
IMHO no one makes the right rod for eastern coastal FF yet.
You can have one made for a lot less than factory too.
Two-Handed Fly Rods in the Surf
I want to try two handed surf casting. I know I need a european fast action taper. I don't really want to break the bank. Will a Loomis GL3 14' 9/10 do the trick or do I need a stiffer rod than this?
