Back at school again, preparing for exams which take place over the coming weeks.
Back at school again, preparing for exams which take place over the coming weeks.
No luck still on the Debian Planet front the server is still down. But I spent most of last night beavering away at doing some development of the new site. Python is a really marvelous language and I try and use it for all my development, however, i'm not sure it is the most ideal thing. Having to implement sessions/cookie management etc myself feels such a bore. However I did enjoy coding a little SQL wrapper to help make replication work and writing a little templating system. Of course its nothing great as i'm not a great coder. But it does the job and certainly scratches my itch. Does anyone have any favourite Python based web development systems, Zope is nice and powerful but rather overwhelming, the guys at Twisted have amazing ideas, but maybe the solution is not mature enough.
Arrgh, the Debian Planet server has gone to pot, not really sure why, but from what I know, people i've talked to suspect drive failure. Hopefully not all is lost as the system has a RAID configuration. So hopefully the mirror should be able to be restored. Its been down for a while as no one has really been available to go fix it. :(
I've spent doing family things but also hacking on the Debian Planet code. The development language is Python and this is a complete and utter "start-from-scratch-and-prey-it-works" (tm) approach. An approach i'm famous for starting and never finishing.
Aww, feeling really bad today.
I'm now back in the empty void of the British countryside. I enjoyed my stay in London at Xinit. It has been a refreshing oppurtunity to put faces to the names of the people i have been working alongside in these past months.
Also it was great fun spending time with the various #brits crew and especially with Robert McQueen.
Lots of interesting things are happening with Debian Planet. We will soon be moving to new system which i have developed (so it will be very buggy) and a new webserver.
I've also had an idea for a new software project to hone my Python skills, a personal portal for Open Source fanatics. WIth cool features to make my life easier, and yours too.
OOh lazy day yesterday, involving hacking DP code to use externally linked CSS not style="" in tags.
Today, played with Xinit servers and php and had fun in #brits as usual, playing Banzai.
Updated anjuta packages entered sid today and also i got advocated.
Spent evening setting up new testnet for OPN and usual IRCOP style admin.
Well its been a while ;) I've now turned 16, finished my exams, been on holiday and are commencing my long summer holiday, with plenty of time for coding.
I'm proud to report that the Open Projects conversion is proceeding, albeit slowly, but we should have moved over to dancer-ircd, in the next few months. We also now have a traditional automake powered build system.
There have been many ups and downs for Debian Planet recently, the slashdotting of our article on woody freezing, led our ISP to temporarily suspend our service. That has now been resolved, however whilst i was away the server was compromised. Fortunately xinitsystems.com are donating a server for us to run the site on.
Thinkopen.co.uk is relaunching and is in desperate need of content, contact Denny.
Much interesting stuff is happening at Xinit, however muks almost got RH on the webserver, but i got my way and Debian woody will grace the box, i do hope he isnt too annoyed ;).
The linux expo in London on the 4/5th July was great, and a big hello to all those who i met, especially those at the debian.org who made me feel welcome, and it provided ,e with a signed GPG key.
New code for the DP site is progressing well and i hope it should be mostly complete by saturday ;) I'm having fun with ideas for caching and mirroring but these wont be used initially. Expect an initial release of venom my python powered webserver soon, which is like zope but easier to use ;)
I may finally get round to getting myself a website, where i can host much of my software.
I'm in the NM process for Debian and have had anjuta a gnome/gtk IDE for C/C++ uploaded.
Wow, the number of comments on that article has gone up to 70+!!
Not much new on the DP front except for the release of Progeny which is cool and the fact one article I posted to DP got 55+ comments.

I am a newbie to the forum and a rank rookie trainer.
I have a 2 1/2 year old lab. She has no formal training other than sit stay come. As she is not so great at heeling I recently got a heeling stick. I am not certain how to apply the correction with the stick. Instructions say to hold the stick in the same hand as the side the dog heels, in my case it's the left side. She tends to creep ahead as well as drift to the left. I can contact her left side when she drifts but the only way I can correct when she creeps is to contact her head with the stick in my left hand. It seems more intuitive to contact her chest to correct the creeping. What's the right way to do this?
With both dummies and birds she does not return to hand. I want to teach her to return the dummy/bird to hand at the heel. I would like to force train her but I am not sure I am up to the task, and really can't afford pro trainers. Can I teach her to force hold and if so what is the best method?

Convertible Model .22 LR/.22 Magnum
Adjustable Rear Sight
Transfer Bar Mechanism
New Model Single-Six revolvers are the perfect small bore single-action revolver for plinking, small game hunting or serious competition. The term New Model means that this model includes Ruger's transfer bar mechanism, which allows the weapon to fire only when the trigger has been pulled, meaning shooters can carry the revolver safely with all 6 chambers loaded. The durable and dependable Single-Six also comes equipped with fully adjustable rear target sights. The Convertible model comes with two six-round cylinders (one in .22 LR and one in .22 Magnum) for increased versatility.

Family: Gadidae, Cods view all from this family
Description The haddock or offshore hake is a marine fish distributed on both sides of the North Atlantic. Haddock is a popular food fish and is widely fished commercially.
The haddock is easily recognized by a black lateral line running along its white side (not to be confused with pollock which has the reverse, i.e. white line on black side) and a distinctive dark blotch above the pectoral fin, often described as a "thumbprint" or even the "Devil's thumbprint" or "St. Peter's mark".
Haddock is most commonly found at depths of 40 to 133 m (130 to 436 ft), but has a range as deep as 300 m (980 ft). It thrives in temperatures of 2 to 10° C (36 to 50° F). Juveniles prefer shallower waters and larger adults deeper water. Generally, adult haddock do not engage in long migratory behavior as do the younger fish, but seasonal movements have been known to occur across all ages. Haddock feed primarily on small invertebrates, although larger members of the species may occasionally consume fish.
Growth rates of haddock have changed significantly over the past 30 to 40 years. Presently, growth is more rapid, with haddock reaching their adult size much earlier than previously noted. However, the degree to which these younger fish contribute to reproductive success of the population is unknown. Growth rates of haddock, however, have slowed in recent years. There is evidence that this is the result of an exceptionally large year class in 2003. Spawning occurs between January and June, peaking during late March and early April. The most important spawning grounds are in the waters off middle Norway, near southwest Iceland, and Georges Bank. An average-sized female produces approximately 850,000 eggs, and larger females are capable of producing up to 3 million eggs each year.
Dimensions Up to 3'8" (1.1 m); 37 lbs (16.8 kg).
Habitat Open ocean, Ocean or bay shallows.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Eastern Canada.

The Bald Ewok
I was talking to the wife the other day, as I was flashbacking to my yesterday of collecting the orginal line, when it occured to me the first time I had gotten Han. You see my parents didnt know a thing about SW when I was a kid so they got me the figs but they didnt know who they was. And I remember that other than the falcon, I always wanted a han solo. Well, be the absent minded parents, they got me every other fig but a han. So like judge mathis I had to make due! So I used a hoth luke because you really couldnt tell that it was a luke, at least not to an 8 yr old. At least I put it out of my mind that it wasnt luke but instead it was Han. Yeah, I even used battle star gallatica too. In fact, I had Darth vader, lost him so I made a cyclone the "NEW" vader. I suppressed a lot! Well, one day a kid in the neighborhood had told me that there was a han in the dumpster. Well, being the SW fan, guess who went diving. Yep, I did get that han solo, despite the fact it had a torn hand. More likely it was a chew toy for a dog, and the head had chew marks as well...looked like T1000 after messing with arnie! But hey I finally got my han!

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Dble Haul
|One alternative to using shot to get your nymphs down in the water is to use nymphs that already have weight incorporated into the pattern, be it wire wraps or bead heads. I find it easier to detect strikes when the weight is part of the fly, not separated from it with shot.
I've only been fly fishing for trout for just under 2 years, so I'm not an expert. Not sure what a buzzer is either. But as far as nymphs and shrimp (the shrimp patterns I get are called scuds), you basically let them drift with the current. It is important that you get them down to the depths that the trout are feeding. Use some small pinch on weights and experiment to see how quickly the nymph sinks. I place the weight at least 8 inches above the fly so that the fly still drifts naturally. Also, use a strike indicator placed far enough above the weights that the fly can sink to the proper depth. When I started, I liked to use 2 or 3 pinch on strike indicators placed several inches apart so that you can watch for sudden changes relative to each other. Sometimes trout strike so subtle that they won't pull the indicator under. They can spit out the fly quicker than they took it, so be ready.
The real trick with dead drifting (including dry flies, too) is getting a natural drift. If the current pulls your line faster than the fly should be moving, most trout will realize something is not right. Watch your strike indicator to get an idea. If it is moving differently than the bubbles and debris around it, than your fly is probably not drifting naturally (of course there are under currents as well which make it more difficult). The easiest method is to cast straight upstream. Eventually you'll learn how to "mend" your line when casting across stream. Mending allows some time for the current to drag your line before it drags the fly.
Often I use 2 nymphs at a time. You can either leave an extra long tag end off your knott for the 2nd nymph, or you can tye on a separate piece of monofiliament to the bend of the 1st nymph. The only problem is that 2 nymphs tend to get tangled much easier if your cast is not made properly.
I hope this helps. As I am still somewhat of a beginner, I hope others may feel free to correct me if needed.

First time
I went fly fishing for my first time ever today and managed to catch some rainbows on dry flys and wet flys and I lost on off a lure!!!
Please can you tell me how to fish nymphs, shrimps and buzzers?
(I caught on them but I just need to know how best to use them)

The haOverflow example has a CacheServer
that allows HA queue overflow. The server starts with
eviction-policy as
entry, implying
that eviction of the client HA queues is based on the number of entries. Other options for
this parameter include
mem, or memory, which means the queue eviction is based on the
memory/size of the client HA queue.
Available specifications for this parameter are as follows :
none implying no overflow
mem implying memory-based overflow, threshold in MB
entry implying entry-based overflow, threshold as number of entries
The capacity parameter dictates the queue capacity, before the queue is faulted to
the disk. It should be set to "Number of Entries" for policy as
entry, and "Memory size in MB"
mem eviction. The disk directory for overflow is specified with the
overflow-directory parameter, and is set to
$CWD/backupDirectory. You can check the contents of this overflow directory as the example executes.
haOverflow example is located in the GemFire installation under
Start two terminal sessions, or shells. In each shell, configure your environment according to the instructions provided in examples/EnvSetup.html.
Once your environment is set, change to the
directory in both shells to run the application. You may wish to configure the example
to run with non-default connection properties (to use a unique mcast-port,
for example). To do this, change the
mcast-port value
in the
server_gemfire.properties file.
The application takes a cache server configuration file in input. You can use the example
configuration files provided in the example directory, or you can create and test your own.
This sample uses
examples/haOverflow/server.xml file for
cache initialization.
Start the server in one shell using this command, entered on a single line:
java -DgemfirePropertyFile=server_gemfire.properties haOverflow.HACacheServer server.xml
Once started, the server waits for clients to connect. It is set up to create an overflow for
HA event queues that can include
get and
put events, for example.
The following examples guide you through a simple exercise using entry overflow,
but you are encouraged to try your own.
Running the Durable Client Manager to simulate an event downflow
Start the
HADurableClientMgr in the other shell using this command, entered on a single line:
java -DgemfirePropertyFile=client_gemfire.properties haOverflow.HADurableClientMgr client.xml
HADurableClientMgr example runs three cache clients sequentially in the same distributed system.
The cache clients define the same cache region, which is a root region named
The first cache client is a durable client, which registers with the server and disconnects
with a
keepalive option. This in effect lets the server keep the event queues for the durable
client open. The default timeout for the queues is 300 seconds.
Subsequently, the second cache client connects and feeds data into the
root region. This
data population gets events populated in the queues for the durable clients. The queue overflows
to the disk once the threshold set earlier in the server is breached.
Finally, the third cache client connects and starts the durable client again. This causes the server to fetch all applicable events from the disk and flush them to the client.
To end this example, press
CTRL-C in the server and client shells, then enter
exit in both shells to close them.
Optionally, you can start
HADurableClient and
HAFeederClient, each in a separate shell, and have more control over when the overflow happens.
Running the Durable Client
To try out
HADurableClient with these configuration files, run:
java -DgemfirePropertyFile=durable_client_gemfire.properties haOverflow.HADurableClient client.xml
To try out
HAFeederClient with these configuration files, run:
java -DgemfirePropertyFile=client_gemfire.properties haOverflow.HAFeederClient client.xml
This starts the cache client and initializes their caches.

So he has the money for this BUT needs welfare for this stadium...hahahahahahaha
Yea I think if they shipped the fins out of Miami I would just stop watching the NFL. I hope LA does get a team so they can stop threatening every team that doesn't sellout with a move.
I don't think he is going to try to move cities and even if he does I think it would be similar to the Browns where he would be awarded a new franchise in LA and Miami would suspend operations for a few years before a new franchise is placed here that is called the Dolphins and retains the colors and records.
Ross is a business man, I don't think his involvement with AEG means he wants to move the Miami Dolphins.

The timing is interesting. I was talking with a Field Trialer the other day who was just telling me how his/her household tries to always say "goodbye" with a smile, a hug, etc., parting ways on a happy note. The reason was that you never know what will happen after you say "goodbye".
I'm on day two of trying to wrap my mind around Howard being gone. Life is precious. Life is brief. Howard, I hope to see you in Heaven one day.

Football legend dies at age of 93
It is with great sadness that Wolves can confirm that the legend Bert Williams MBE passed away this morning at Wolverhampton's New Cross Hospital at the age of 93, surrounded by his family.
Wolves would like to express their deepest condolences to Bert's family including children Annette, Vaughan and Paul, his friends and many fans and admirers, both at home and across the world.
Bert, famously nicknamed 'the Cat' initially by the Italian media, will forever be a revered figure at Wolves after moving to Molineux from Walsall.
He stayed closely in touch with the club after his retirement following an illustrious career in which 420 appearances for Wolves included the 1949 FA Cup success and 1953/54 League Championship.
Bert's 24 England caps included appearing at the 1950 World Cup Finals in Brazil, and he was the oldest living England international prior to his death.
Only last year Bert reached a magnificent milestone of raising £150,000 for the Alzheimer's Society after his wife Evelyn died from the illness back in 2002.
"Bert was not only a fantastic footballer both for club and country, but also a true gentleman who loved Wolves," said Chairman Steve Morgan.
"As a young football fan who used to read about the achievements of that all-conquering Wolves team of the 1950s, it was an honour and a privilege to have been able to meet Bert on so many occasions since I arrived at the Club in 2007.
"His footballing ability speaks for itself, but there was so much more to Bert than just his career alone.
"He remained heavily involved with Wolves and the community after his retirement, and the fundraising he has carried out since losing his wife was incredible when you consider his advancing years.
"Legend is a word which may be over-used these days, but in the case of Bert Williams it simply doesn't do him justice.
"He will be sadly missed at Molineux, but will never, ever be forgotten."
Bert received a long-awaited MBE in 2010, having a year earlier been inducted into the Wolves' Hall of Fame on an emotional night at Molineux.
Wolves Chief Executive Jez Moxey said: "When you come and work for a club like Wolves, with all its illustrious history, it is a privilege to be able to meet some of the players who once helped make the club one of the very best in the world.
"And Bert was one of those who was right at the very top of that list.
"Such a humble character despite all his successes, Bert not only achieved so much during his time as a goalkeeper for Wolves, he gave so much back to the club after his career came to an end.
"The Wolves and football family are united in sadness at today's news.
"However, nowhere more keenly will this loss be felt than with his family and friends and everyone at Wolves sends them our sincere condolences at this time."
Wolves will be liaising with Bert's family with regards to the appropriate ways to pay tribute to his life and those details will be announced in due course.
*Fans who wish to pay tribute to Bert can e-mail their stories and memories to firstname.lastname@example.com All of these will be passed on to the Williams family.

Littlest Pet Shop is a toy franchise owned by Hasbro. The original toy series was produced by Kenner in the early 1990s. An animated television series was made in 1994 by Sunbow Productions and "Jean Chalopin Creativite et Developpement," based on the franchise. However, a new version of Littlest Pet Shop was introduced in 2005, and this new version has proportionally large heads and has no connection to the Littlest Pet Shop television show. There are over 3,000 different pets that have been created by the Hasbro company, as well as video games for DS, Wii, and PlayStation 3, and pets to "adopt" and play with online.

Diet and nutrition play a major role in having a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. It is very important to visit your health care provider before becoming pregnant or as soon as you know you are pregnant. Your health care provider can help you to determine what you should and should not be eating as well as inform you of any supplements you should take. He/she can also assist you with alternatives if you have any known food allergies and/or aversions. Aversions (sudden intense dislike) to certain foods and/or smells are very common in pregnancy.
According to the CDC, some serious birth defects can be prevented if pregnant mothers receive proper nutrition. Part of receiving proper nutrition is making sure that you are eating 400 micrograms of folic acid every day. It is recommended that woman start taking folic acid before they become pregnant and throughout their pregnancy. Research has found that, getting enough folic acid can prevent up to 50 to 70 percent of neural tube defects.
Here are some suggestions for your diet and nutrition that you can follow after you have discussed them with your health care provider.
Remember that diet and nutrition play a major role in having a healthy pregnancy for both you and your baby. See your health care provider as soon as possible to discuss proper diet and nutrition and to have any of your questions answered and any concerns addressed.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has developed health and nutrition information especially for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Wow, thanks so much. I am just starting out to expand my FM quilting skills and I needed some templete ideas to get me started.
Thank you for sharing
Great links, thanks
Gosh this is great as I will be looking for FMQ stencil patterns to print out soon. I live way out in the country....miles and miles from any big towns or even small towns....my computer is my best friend!
Thanks so much for sharing and if anyone knows where there are more patterns....then I will love you for ever.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the links....I checked them all and they are very useful.
Thanks all for sharing all links and sites....they were good and very useful. Also before I forget....what marking tools are advised to be used when using stencils on my quilt tops?
Does anyone have an idea for FMQ on stars. I need a fairly densely quilted pattern because of the style of quilt it is. It is for a patriotic row quilt and some of the rows required density so I believe that I need to continue it throughout the quilt so it doesn't pucker. Thanks for any help you can give me. There are several different sizes of various stars.
Thank you Renee & Aggi.
Just what I am looking for....thanks so much for the links.

UV knot sense.
I normally don't even take the bones out of the water, but the mangrove was right there behind me and he layed perfectly still for about 4 seconds so I could get the shot. One flip and he was gone.
|Bob Bergquist
The bone on the mangrove...did you use Superglue or Zap a Gap?
We'll I just returned from a DIY trip to Acklins--was there from March 17-24, and I certainly echo some of the points made below. Weather was tough, with high winds and mixed sun most days--often more clouds than sun. But we actually managed to see lots of fish most days, saw fewer a couple other days. Considering the weather we faced, I thought we all did fairly well in terms of numbers of fish seen and caught. No "ridiculous" numbers caught, but it's called fishing for a reason!
Of the five guests I brought down, two of them fished with a guide for one day, and the rest fished with a guide for three days. I chose to diy exclusively, as I was just here a few weeks ago and was guided everyday.
We did have use of kayaks, which we took advantage of. I think they are more useful up north where we stayed as there are some creek systems where flats are separated by deeper channels. They were fun and helpful, and if the wind was too strong we could usually walk them along the shore and use them to cross the deeper areas.
We stayed up in Chesters and enjoyed our hosts Arnette & Julius very much. They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, and cooked up some delicious Bahamian food for us. Fresh conch salad (very spicy), minced lobster, grouper, ribs, even corned beef and cabbage to commemorate St. Pattie's day!
I certainly agree with Bob in that hiring a guide for a day or two is a good option. You'll fish areas that you can't otherwise reach, plus if you get the right guide you'll learn some new things too. Makes the guides happy too.
Don't forget to walk the beaches on the bight side either. Bones can be found cruising here, especially on an incoming & high tide. It's not the traditional "flats" fishing most people picture when they think of bonefishing, but they are there, as well as 'cudas, sharks and jacks.
Here are some pics of the trip:

View from our rooms--bonefish included!
I'll post a few more pics when I receive them from the other guys who joined me.
Bonefishmon, All my trips, to the Bahamas, have been in the fall for the very reasons you mentioned. Earliest being Oct. 20 and the latest saw my son and I eating lobster and turkey. Some of the weeks have been perfect and some have had some bad weather but the fishing has been good each time.
I think September and early October may be even better but then you have the hurricane threat. I asked our host about that last fall and he said he had been on that island for 50 years and never seen one. I think we worry about the hurricanes alot more than the Bahamians do.
All the remote destinations in this part of the world are no longer guarded and when something good is found word gets out and we see the very thing that makes that destination so special dissapear. Even in the Seychells, the romote islands are visited weekly instead of monthly. A post on a message board or an article in a magazine opens up a destination to thousands of people. Makes you wonder if there are any places out there that are still guarded by the few that know of them. I am not saying you need to guard that specail place, I am not sure if you can, but some places I would like to see reamain as they are.
Bill. Most seem to want to be there when it's cold here in the states in February March and even April. I've heard great reports from those that have visited in the fall, particularly November. Yes.....the fishing is very good here during those months and that may be a good reason to head to Acklins in the fall. Less popular then and the flats have been rested over the hurricane season. Spoke to one guy last year that went right after a hurricane and he said it was outrageous. Almost too easy.
Bob. Can you add to this? Your input has been very much appreicated. Thank you. If and when I go I will have saved enough money to spread around as much as possible. The last time I went to Andros I bought along something the kids said they needed. Basketballs and hoop nets. A local sporting goods store was going out of business and I bought twenty undersized balls for under $50 and enough nylon nets for all the courts on No. Andros. The guy I left them with to disperse had tears flowing as he knows most of the kids in the area. What an awesome feeling. We pumped most of them up before I left and headed for some of the courts. If you could have seen the look on those happy faces.............
Looks like the DIY will not last too much longer. Economic pressures seem to be taking hold. I'll have to try and get one trip in before things change on Actklins.
I love the trekking on foot as much as a magic carpet ride on Bob's sweet flats machine. There are some spots where I wished I had a yak handy but not many. I won't go into details but primarily where the road access comes to a channel that doesn't open up to flats for a few hundred yards or to reach an island or point that requires a long circular wade pattern, etc.
On the topic of footsteps I am extremely cautious about where I make footsteps not because of visibility to other humans but I don't like to mar the paths of moving fish with mudlines in these slow moving tides, add visual distractions, or change the way bones react on their cautious approaches. It bugs me when people track right through the lanes.
Bob. That answers my questions. Thanks for chiming in. Even if the kayaks could be transported and used for the longer stretches otherwise walked, they are still tons of work to paddle into a strong headwind. I just like the idea of having the storage for emergency supplies. If someone takes ill or breaks a bone they would appreciate having the paddle. All the more pressure on the fish though. Thanks for your insight on this. Looks like one of the last bonefishing frontiers close to the USA still has some time left before it gets really clobbered.
|Bob Bergquist
I didn't mean to suggest DIY'ers aren't still welcomed here, it's just that the pressure is being felt by the fish and thus the guides. (Right now there are nine DIY folks fishing) There are some locals that think everyone should be guided, others are happy for the business at the stores and bars. Kathy has turned the meals into a great extention of her business. A nice mix is to hire a guide for a couple days to get to the more remote areas. DIY'ers should remember that the lodges are here to do business, not help them out. By not fishing the same places each day perhaps problems can be headed off. It's hard though, as most folks are here for six 1/2 days of fishing and don't think of the cummulative effects of the pressure, and are tempted to go back to the spots they have found fish. Three days of pressure on a flat often means at least a week before the fish feel comfortable enough to come back in in numbers. What a lot of folks don't understand is that these fish will use flats many miles apart. On calm days I have watched schools move three miles from a certain bay we fish
to feed in creek to the north. They have plenty of options on where to feed!
Your canoe story is right on. This is no place to be stuck out for the night. We always leave a daylight buffer for any problems coming in. No 911 here!
To me its sad to hear that the attitude of the guides on Acklins is changing. I made a trip there in 2002 and didn't encounter that. When planning a return trip in 2004 I was first made aware of the move to ban DIY in the Bahamas. I don't want to get into that here.
I guess the more popular a place becomes the more it changes. When I was there, on a solo trip, in the fall of 2002 there were 2 fishermen flying in with me and none flying out. I fished for the whole week, 3 days guided and 3 days on my own, and never saw another fisherman. I think I was the only fisherman on the Island for part of that week. Even though I had limited experience bonefishing, and this was my first trip to the Bahamas, I had little trouble finding fish and they were wild and eager to eat.
I remember some of those fish but the thing I remember the most is the challenge and the great feeling of accomplishment I got from meeting the challenges. To be all alone on a those flats can be humbling and a little frightening at times. Especially when there is a large shark moving back and forth between you and your canoe.
The first afternoon there I took off in a canoe accross the bay with the wind at my back, pulled into a creek and fished up it. Think I caught a couple of fish in the creek then on my way out I found them tailing as the sun was going down on a flat at the mouth of the creek. It was a beautiful sight seeing those tails flickering in the low sun. So paying little attention to the falling sun, I chased tails till I figured it was time to head back accross the bay before there was no sun. I learned a lesson. The wind was now in my face and it was more than a struggle to get back. Going into the wind I made little headway in the direction I needed to go. So I just started paddling the quickest direction to shore and ended up maybe a mile below the lodge. From there I waded the edge of the shore towing the canoe behind me finally getting there as it turned dark. I'm a surveyor and I have walked many miles through the woods swinging a bush axe but I don't ever think I have been as tired as I was that day. Funny when I look back now that was the highlight of the trip.
|Bob Bergquist
The mailboat is more like 18-20 hours, and not a place I'd want to spend ANY time on, nor do very many of the locals anymore! Nor would you be able to just hop of the plane and onto the boat. It takes frieght on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, then leaves sometime on Thursday to arrive Saturday by way of Crooked and Long Cay... unless it is diverted somewhere else on a charter or has mechanical problems etc.
Some guys had a Kayak here earlier this year and hardly used it. The issue is covering ground to get to places on different tides, not crossing deep channels etc. When the wind blows I can't imagine having to paddle back with the light fading. The key to fishing Acklins is a good boat or strong legs, and with many of the best flats 10 miles or more from any access point I prefer the boat!
The DIY guys have not been finding great numbers of fish lately, partly due to the weather, but also due to the fact that the same flats have been pounded almost daily for weeks. If you are coming over, be prepared to hoof it to find fish and rest the easy to get to spots. Harry Creek looks like a watering hole for buffalo there are so many tracks, and the Delectable fish are acting like they are from Ten Bay! This is not lost on the local guides who fish those areas when the weather gets rough, and serves to reinforce what everyone has heard coming out of Exuma and Long Island. Fedel, on the other hand has been doing great business taking frusterated DIYers out and getting them into unpressuered fish! One other heads up, DIY is just that! The lodges are not pleased to have DIY folks droping by asking to use phones and computers, asking where to fish etc. Acklins is remote, be prepared to be out of touch for a week and figuring it out on your own. It's amazing how many folks show up wondering why Verizon does not work!
There is an internet connection at Felton's now, but the phone has been out for several weeks. The internet may or may not work at times.
Juro. If I ever make the trip, I'm tempted to take the Mailboat and a set of tandem yaks purchased in Nassau to toss in the trucks. Seems the way to go. Just need a safe place to store them for the groups that follow. Rent them out and they pay for themselves. One could land in Nassau and just hop on the next boat........sameday. Boat ride to Acklins is 12 hrs. so one must sleep on deck with the baggage. No weight restrictions. Sound ridiculous?
Has anyone reading this truely explored the Bahamas the way the folks that live there do? I am very curious about this. When I was on Andros, I met an Italian that uses mailboats frequently. He said it was one of the best parts of his adventurous nature and very affordable. Not totally reliable and very slow as is life on the islands.
Thanks for your help Bob.
|Bob Bergquist
You'll be glad to hear that the weather has changed...it's raining with the winds now. Can't last forever.
Wouldn't be a true death march without a bit of pain. A least there were fish at the end of the trail.
My wife has found a novel way of bonefishing in the wind this week, she lets me cast and she reels them in. She out fished me ten to one with her meathod today.

Shares of solar energy technology provider Solar City (SCTY) are down $2.34, or 3%, at $76.21, in late trading, after the company this afternoon said it would not release full Q4 results this afternoon, as previously expected, owing to the need to further refine its accounting during the quarter.
"As a result of the accounting related to recent acquisitions as well as a change in overhead allocation owing to an increase in the volume of MW deployed, we will release complete GAAP financial results after the close of the market on Monday, March 3, 2014."
However, Solar City reported "lease revenue" during the quarter of $22.4 million, up 59%, year over year, but at the low end of a range of $22 million to $24 million the company had forecast back in November. The company deployed 103 megawatts, it said, slightly ahead of the 101 megawatts it had forecast.
Combined lease revenue and system sales was $47.3 million, which was above the top end of the prior forecast of $46 million, and above consensus for $43 million.
For the current quarter, Solar City sees megawatts deployed in a range of 78 megawatts to 82 megawatts. For the full year, the company sees a range of 475 megawatts to 525 megawatts, which is consistent with the prior forecast for the year.
The company said despite the incomplete report, it will nevertheless hold its quarterly conference call this evening, at 5pm, as previously planned. You can catch a webcast of that conference call on the company's investor relations Web site.

- Description
VEX Robotics has students construct a robot that starts out no larger than 18"x18"x18" and participates in a two on two competition. This year the competition was called "Gateway" and involved getting spheres and cylinders into any of a series of increasingly tall goals.
This panorama, with all the partial people! (LOTS of movement) was taken at the East Hawaii Regional competition at Waiakea High School Cafeteria.
32 teams were present from the Big Island, Maui and Oahu. With two competition fields, it was non-stop chaos and competition. The stress of breakdowns and malfunctions, the joy of finally getting things to work again, the sharing of ideas, parts, and companionship was a wonderful craziness.

"Secretary's Day" Thoughts
What in the world happened in that foster home?
So, Andy's cutesy poo fledgling romance with Erin hit a sizable speed bump on tonight's episode, "Secretary's Day." Meanwhile, there was much ado about a certain blue-skinned, cookie-devouring muppet.
We start, of course, with the whole Andy-Erin debacle, which, surprise, surprise, Michael had a hand in. Poor Andy. He had covered all his bases to make Erin's Secretary Day a great one, from his various "blasts" to the cake with Erin's picture to "Secretary of Love," the new song he wrote just for the occasion. But, he had to go and tempt fate by pleading with Michael to take Erin for lunch, didn't he?
Michael went along with it, albeit reluctantly. Seems he's not all that crazy about hanging out with Erin, on account of her being a clueless rube and such. Which is sort of like the pot calling the kettle, well, you know. Anyway, Michael took one for the team and took sweet Erin to some fancy joint called Hayworth's, which as far as I know only exists on the show.
After a while, Michael got tired of Erin's ramblings about pillows and coming of age in the 1490s, and, with nothing better to say, he brought up Andy's former engagement to Angela. And that's when Erin retreated to her old foster home room, better known as her hair, and started moaning like a dying woodland creature. Completely flabbergasted by this utterly strange outburst, Michael responded as only he could, by paying homage to the famous deli scene in "When Harry Met Sally." No, Mike, you don't want what she's having.
Once back at the office, Erin went into bizarro world, snapping at everyone and tossing cake in Andy's puss. It fell upon Pam, freshly back from her too-short maternity leave, to try and resolve the situation by explaining to Erin that she had once been engaged to a Dunder Mifflin employee who wasn't Jim. Sometimes the heart needs time to know what it wants, she said sweetly to Erin. Unfortunately, Erin thought Pam was talking about herself.
Eventually, Andy had the chance to talk it out with Erin out in the parking lot. Alas, she was still pretty upset and not quite ready to patch things up. It then fell upon Michael to cheer her up with idle nonsense about his hectoring neighbor, with Andy watching from his car.
As this was all unfolding, Kevin was pitching a fit about Oscar's video of Cookie Monster/Kevin mash-up, which led to all sorts of Cookie Kevin impressions, from Jim and Pam to Kelly and even Dwight (who has long been a fan of "Sesame Street," or, as he calls it, that show about the puppets in the barrio). It was up to that weasel Gabe to defend Kevin, and, in an effort to exert some authority over this unruly crew, he suspended Jim, Pam and Dwight for two days without pay. Turns out, though, that he had no power to that, so Jim and Pam ended up getting two paid days to spend at home with baby Cecilia. And all Gabe got was Kevin and others doing a not-so-nice impression of him.

Dr Mark Kendall, co-founder and director, Vaxxas, Australia (winner of the BioSpectrum Asia Pacific Awards 2013 in the Emerging Company of the Year 2013 category)
Prof Mark Kendall, a scientist at the Australian Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology under University of Queensland, came up with the idea of nanopatch technology in 2003. The technology is an alternative to the needle-based drug-delivery systems and enables pain-free and rapid delivery of the vaccine to the abundant immune cell population below the skin surface.
Turning his idea into innovation, he developed this technology for the animal vaccine model. UniQuest led the initial commercialization of the Nanopatch technology prior to the creation of Vaxxas in 2011 and raised A$15 million from a strong group of venture investors, including OneVentures, Brandon Capital, Healthcare Ventures, and the Medical Research Commercialisation Fund.
Projecting confidence on the new vaccine delivery technology, Merck is working with Vaxxas to further evaluate the benefits of the nanopatch and proceed towards clinical development of antigen. The collaboration is intended to evaluate Vaxxas' Nanopatch platform that induces robust immune system activation by targeting vaccine to the immunological cells.
"Nanopatch has tremendous potential to improve the performance of a wide range of existing and new vaccines. Vaxxas plans to work with the world's leading pharmaceutical companies to enable efficient delivery of their vaccines via the nanopatch," says Prof Kendall, now the chief technical officer and director of Vaxxas, Australia.
Vaxxas' business model is to work with vaccine producers and license the Nanopatch technology. "In this way, we believe the technology has the best potential to be broadly used across many different vaccines, reaching and benefiting the largest number of people," he adds. The technology is currently in pre-clinical development and is expected to be ready for use in clinical trials as early as 2015.

Leaving my bag at the station I took a wander towards the city centre, the sun still not having crept over the surrounding hills. About 15mins later I found myself wandering through the skid-row area of downtown LA dodging shopping trolleys and makeshift cardboard castles along the way thinking this was probably not the best place to go for a stroll alone when dark. Still keeping my cool as best as I could fake it I continued on towards the skyscrapers ahead marking the city centre although almost bolting on one large dude emerging from a doorway asking wazup. He made Mr T look like one of the Smurfs
It did prepare me somewhat though for my first Greyhound journey with it being the main bus network in the US, a country where nearly everyone owns a car, apart from the poor, travelers and nutjobs which pretty much makes up the passenger list on a typical Greyhound bus. Seemed a world away from the last major bus journeys I took in safe little New Zealand having to have your bag searched and metal detectored before boarding.
We had soon left the metropolis of LA behind though powering out into the Mojave Desert towards Nevada stopping at fast food places along the way to refill on McD's $1 double cheeseburgers.
For little more than a hostel you can shack up in a hotel suite in Vegas which was the route I took getting a large twin double bed room en suite with cable TV and great views over the craziness outside.
Katie had said on describing Vegas that best thing to do was just to experience it, walk down the strip and try and take it all in. Vegas is an assault on the senses, with those senses being any that sense tackiness, over-the-topness or a billion bright lights with everything from the towering casinos and dancing fountains to the Eiffel Tower and the Pyramids shining brighter than the sun
The biscuit for outlandishness though would have to go to the Venetian Casino Hotel based around a Venice theme the place tries successfully to recreate a Venetian feel with gondola rides down an artificial indoor canal complete with fake sky which anywhere else would mess with your senses on exiting at night but the strip is probably brighter then than during the day anyway.
Yet I still couldn't help but like it, a sort of guilty pleasure which really is Vegas in a nutshell.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 12:35 PM GMT on September 21, 2009
The tropical disturbance (98L), midway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands, has grown weak and disorganized. No development of this disturbance is likely to occur.
The remains of Hurricane Fred are still kicking up heavy thunderstorms about 400 miles east of the Georgia-Florida border. Fred-ex's circulation has become ill-defined, as seen in last night's QuikSCAT pass. Fred-ex is under about 20 knots of wind shear, and this shear is expected to remain about the same over the next two days. Fred-ex will be moving ashore Tuesday night or Wednesday along a stretch of coast from Florida to North Carolina, bringing heavy rains to some areas. There is too much wind shear and dry air, and not enough time, for Fred-ex to develop into a tropical depression. I don't expect it to cause any flooding problems when it moves ashore.
Figure 1. Morning visible satellite image of Fred-ex, 400 miles east of Florida.
Twenty years ago today
On September 21, 1989, Hurricane Hugo began the day as a minimum-strength Category 3 hurricane with 115 mph winds. But as a strong trough of low pressure turned the hurricane to the north and accelerated Hugo to a forward speed of 25 mph, the storm took advantage of low wind shear and warm ocean waters to begin a period of rapid intensification. As darkness fell on the 21st, Hugo had grown to huge Category 4 hurricane with 135 mph winds. Its target: the South Carolina coast near Charleston, at Sullivan's Island. At 11:57 pm on the 21st, Hugo made landfall on Sullivan's Island. It was the strongest hurricane on record to hit South Carolina, and the second strongest hurricane (since reliable records began in 1851) to hit the U.S. East Coast north of Florida. Only Hurricane Hazel of 1954 (Category 4, 140 mph winds) was stronger.
Figure 2. AVHRR visible satellite image of Hurricane Hugo taken on September 21, 1989. Hugo had intensified to a formidable Category 4 hurricane with 135 mph winds.
On Isle of Palms, a barrier island adjacent to Sullivan's Island, the mayor and several police officers were sheltering in a 2-story building which lay at an elevation of ten feet. As related in a story published in the St. Petersburg Times, they heard the following bulletin on the radio at 10:30pm the night Hugo made landfall:
"The National Weather Service has issued a storm surge update. It appears that the storm surge will be greater than anticipated. It is now expected to reach a height of 17 to 21 feet."
"Mom didn't raise an idiot," said the one cop with the most sense, and he convinced the others to get off the island. They left the island by driving at 5 mph through horizontal sheets of rain and hurricane-force wind gusts over the Ben Sawyer Bridge, which connected Sullivan's Island to the mainland. As they crossed onto the bridge, they passed over a large bump--the bridge and road bed were at different levels. Not good. While crossing the bridge, they could feel it swaying and straining, and heard the sound of metal, twisting and grinding and breaking. They made it, but only barely--minutes later, the hurricane tore the center span of the bridge from its connection on both ends, leaving it a twisted ruin in the bay.

Hugo's storm surge
In McClellanville, on the coast thirty miles northeast of Charleston, between 500 - 1100 people took refuge at the designated shelter for the region, Lincoln High School. Lincoln High is a one-story school, mostly constructed of cinder block, located on the east side of Highway 17, and was believed to be at an altitude of twenty feet. McClellanville is about 4 - 5 miles inland from the open ocean, but lies on the Intracoastal Waterway, so is vulnerable to high storm surges. Near midnight on the 21st, a storm surge of twenty feet poured into Bulls Bay just south of McClellanville, and funneled into the narrow Intracoastal Waterway. Water started pouring into the high school and rose fairly rapidly. Within minutes, people were wading around up to their waists, the water still rising. In the school cafeteria, many refugees gathered on a stage at one end, putting children up on tables. The elevated stage kept them above water; others floated in the water. Another group was in the band room, which had a much lower ceiling than the cafeteria. They had to stand on desks and push out the ceiling tiles for more breathing room, as the water rose within 1 - 2 feet of the ceiling. Fortunately, Hugo's storm surge peaked at that time, at about 16 - 17 feet (Figure 4), and the people sheltering at Lincoln High were spared.
Figure 4. Estimated storm surge (height above ground) as estimated by NOAA's storm surge model, SLOSH. McClellanville (upper right) received a storm surge estimated at 16 - 17 feet.
According to Dr. Stephen Baig, the retired head of the NHC storm surge unit, the back-story is this: To build Lincoln High School, which lies at an altitude of ten feet, the local school board used the same plans that were drawn up for another school that is west of Highway 17, and that IS at 20 feet elevation. Not only the same plans, the same set of working drawings. Those working drawings showed a surveyed elevation of 20 feet above datum (probably NGVD29). Apparently Lincoln High was constructed either without benefit of elevation survey or the plans were not annotated with its site elevation. When the Red Cross inquired as to its utility as an evacuation site, whoever looked at the plans saw the surveyed elevation at 20 feet. That is what the Red Cross published. That is why the school was a designated shelter. Since that near-tragedy, the Red Cross requires a new elevation survey for every potential storm shelter. I think that at the time this was discovered all the designated shelters also were re-surveyed, just to be sure that no similar Lincoln High problems were waiting to happen.
Only one person died from Hugo's storm surge, a woman who sheltered in her mobile home that got struck by the surge. Her death was one of only ten deaths that have occurred due to storm surge in the U.S. in the 35 years between 1969 - 2005 (after the 100+ storm surge deaths due to Hurricane Camille of 1969, and before the 1000+ storm surge deaths due to Hurricane Katrina). This amazingly low death toll can be attributed to four factors:
1) Greater understanding of the storm surge and better storm surge forecasts issued by the National Hurricane Center, thanks to such tools as the SLOSH storm surge model.
2) The excellent job NWS/NHC/FEMA and state and local Emergency Managers have done educating the public on the potential surge they can expect.
3) The success local government has had making evacuations of low-lying areas work.
4) Luck. The 20+ storm surge deaths on the Bolivar Peninsula in 2008 from Hurricane Ike show that there are still plenty of stubborn, unlucky, or uneducated people who will die when a significant storm surge hits a low-lying populated coast. The storm surge from the next major hurricane that sweeps through the Florida Keys is likely to cause a lot of storm surge deaths, since many residents there are pretty stubborn about not evacuating.
Kudos and links
I thank Ken Bass for providing the details on the Lincoln High storm surge near-disaster. Ken is working on a book on Hurricane Hugo, and has written a very readable book I plan to review later this year, about a fictional Category 4 hurricane hitting New York City.
Hurricanes-blizzards-noreasters.com has a web page with links to tons of Hurricane Hugo stories. Included are links to YouTube videos of a "Rescue 911" episode that interviewed survivors of the Lincoln High storm surge scare. The show also did a re-creation of the event.
Our Historical storm surge page has SLOSH model storm surge animations of Hurricane Hugo's landafall, as well as of 39 other famous hurricanes.
Tomorrow: I'll wrap up my series on Hurricane Hugo.
