GARDASIL is a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause 70% of cervical cancer cases, 70% of vaginal cancer cases, and up to 50% of vulvar cancer cases. In males and females ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against about 80% of anal cancer cases and 90% of genital warts cases.
GARDASIL may not fully protect everyone, nor will it protect against diseases caused by other HPV types or against diseases not caused by HPV. GARDASIL does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it's important for women to continue routine cervical cancer screenings. GARDASIL does not treat cancer or genital warts. GARDASIL is given as 3 injections over 6 months.
Anyone who is allergic to the ingredients of GARDASIL, including those severely allergic to yeast, should not receive the vaccine. GARDASIL is not for women who are pregnant.
The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. Fainting can happen after getting GARDASIL. Sometimes people who faint can fall and hurt themselves. For this reason, your child's health care professional may ask your child to sit or lie down for 15 minutes after he or she gets GARDASIL. Some people who faint might shake or become stiff. This may require evaluation or treatment by your child's health care professional.
Only a doctor or health care professional can decide if GARDASIL is right for your child.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please read the Patient Information for GARDASIL® [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16, and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant] and discuss it with your child's doctor. The physician Prescribing Information also is available.

- A user (from Sweden) started to work on a HostMIB Process Table Discovery Script & Poller, which is very useful to monitor the processes on a remote host (thanks Anders). We talked a bit about our countries, money, work, etc. He is also going to monitor a huge network with JFFNMS.
- The only issue left for the release of JFFNMS is no more.. it was only a bad table problem, no code modification involved. So I will release version 0.7.0 on Monday.
- Also another user reports that his Debian Box is passing the '&' sign as part of the argv array on PHP 4.2.1/4.3.1 so the respawning of processes (or putting a process in the background) doesn't work, anyone saw that before?
- I got the Satellite Carrier Poller System working :), it's a C, PGSQL, GPIB Project, I can now measure the C/N and last plot of any carrier on 1 transponder, tomorrow I will include on-demand polling and on Monday Transponder Switch Communication, and I didnt do a mess with the pointers. I plan to make a JFFNMS plugin for this, to store the C/N of a carrier over the time.
- Mozilla 1.3b is now working on my Sparc64 Gentoo Machine, this is the first time Mozilla finish compiling on sparc64 without any GCC ICE's, Thanks to the Mozilla & Gentoo dev teams (No more X over SSH to run it), I'm also trying to get MozPlugger to work fine, I think there is some config file problems.
- I'm at the middle of the 'Lord of the Rings: The Return of The King' book, in Spanish ('El Se~nor de los Anillos: el Retorno del Rey'), this one of the first novels I read in a long time, I mostly read Manuals, Tech or Political Magazines, or some Science Book (The Age of Spiritual Machines).
- My Brother Martin (Web Design), My GF (Translations, she is studying to become an English Teacher), and I (content, idea and direction) are modifing the SzYsZ Networks site.
Also, as some of you already noticed, English is not my First Language, so excuse me if I made some mistakes.

Quick Dishes
Tropical Chicken Skewers
A grilled chicken summer favoriteHere, savory GOYA® Mojo Criollo and sweet GOYA® Pineapple Nectar create a marinade for chicken that couldn't be tastier to eat- or easier to make! Simply marinate the chicken, thread on skewers with vegetables, and then grill. Try it tonight, and you'll see why these Tropical Chicken Skewers have become our signature grilled chicken dish this summer!
Serves 4
Prep time: 10 min.
Total time: 30 min., plus marinating time
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast and/or thighs, cut into ľ cubes
˝ cup GOYA® Mojo Criollo
˝ cup GOYA® Pineapple Nectar
1 tsp. GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning
1 can (20 oz.) GOYA® Pineapple Chunks, drained
˝ yellow onion, cut into 1" pieces
˝ green bell pepper, cut into 1" pieces
1 tbsp. GOYA® Vegetable Oil
|In large container with lid, or in large zip-top bag, mix together chicken, mojo, nectar and adobo until coated; transfer to refrigerator. Marinate chicken at least 2 hrs, or up to 24 hours.
|Strain chicken, discarding marinade. On each skewer, alternately thread pineapple, chicken, onions and peppers.
|Prepare grill to medium-high heat (or, heat oil in large grill pan over medium-high heat). Cook skewers, turning once, until chicken turns dark golden brown and cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to serving platter; serve warm.
Grill Marks –Guaranteed!
To ensure your grilled chicken develops golden-brown grill marks, remember these grilling tips: First, make sure the grill is piping hot (about 500ŞF). Then, place chicken on the grates and let it cook, untouched, for at least 5 minutes (or up to 7 minutes). Then, flip once. Allowing the chicken to cook undisturbed over the hot flame will give the heat enough time to create the sear marks you love.

In the afternoon, you'll enjoy a tour that puts your new skills to practice. Your adventure will conclude with a leisurely paddle back to our paddling center.
All necessary paddleboarding and camping equipment is provided.
Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

I've never been in a chat room before - in fact up until 2 months ago had never posted in a forum. What do I do when I get in there? Would it be Ok if I just sit back and "listen"?

Hi Julzy
I'm on the Gold Coast too - good to know there is someone else not far away. I reckon you could just about call yourself an Aussie after 12 years
My husband and I moved up here from Adelaide five years ago (we are not considered Queenslanders yet though but then again every second person you meet is from somewhere else anyway)
I'm pretty new to digital scrap booking too, learning a lot from this site and downloading lots of lovely stuff.
See you around in the forums and maybe in the next Aussie Chat
Bye for now
Posted 22 May 2008 - 05:49 AM
It's so good to know other Aussies are here. I've been a member of SG for over a year but am really only just getting stuck into it now. I live at North Rocks, a north-western suburb of Sydney. I can't join the chats this term because I'm doing something else Monday nights but hopefully next term...
I use PSPX2 and love it but am still learning. I have yet to do any layouts that I would consider putting up! I still do paper scrapping with friends as well.
I really love SG and the next thing I need to do is get some blinkies in my sig! Oh, and would you look at that! I did it!
Hope to chat with you all here sometime!

Main Dishes
Cod Salad
Origin: Puerto Rico
Serves 6
Prep time: 20 min., plus soaking time (about 24 hrs.)
Total time: 45 min., plus chilling time
1 lb. GOYA® Boneless Salted Cod
ľ cup GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for garnish
1 red onion, sliced into Ľ" rings
2 tsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic, or 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Ľ cup GOYA® Red Wine Vinegar
GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning, to taste
1 medium tomato, cut into 6 wedges
3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
1 avocado, sliced
12 GOYA® Manzanilla Olives stuffed with Minced Pimientos (optional), halved
1 tbsp. chopped cilantro
1 bag (32 oz.) GOYA® Tropical Vegetable Mix – Viandas Para Sancocho, cooked according to package directions
|Rinse cod under cold water. Place pieces in large bowl; submerge completely in cold water. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; transfer to refrigerator. Let soak 24-36 hours, changing water every 8 hours. Rinse cod and discard soaking water; transfer to medium saucepan filled with water. Place saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring water to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, skimming off foam that rises to surface, until cod is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain cod. When cool enough to handle, tear into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
|Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds; remove skillet from heat and let olive oil mixture cool in pan.
|Add red wine vinegar to pan with cooled olive oil mixture; stir to combine. Transfer cod to pan. Stir gently until completely coated in olive oil mixture; refrigerate until chilled.
|Spoon cod mixture onto large serving platter. Decorate platter with tomato wedges, egg slices, avocado slices, olive halves and cilantro. Drizzle with more olive oil, if desired. Serve cold with hot, cooked tropical vegetables.
Ensure Flavorful, not salty, Cod
Soaking salted cod is a necessary step in ridding the salt used for preservation. After 24 hours of soaking, remove a small flake of flesh and taste. The meat should be firm, fresh and flavorful (not salty). If needed, continue to soak the cod in new water. Otherwise, use immediately.

Thread: Cory Tank?
Cory Tank?
I am wanting to set up a cory tank and am wondering how many different species people think I would be okay with in my new 30g tank. It has a 31 x 14 inch footprint.
I originally wanted a nice big school of Three-Lined (False Julii) Cories but my LFS has recently got in some Tail Smudge (falsely labeled as Tail Spot) Cories and I am torn between the 2, so I am wondering if I would have room for both species. Apart from the cories I will probably do a nice big school of Cardinal Tetras.
If you want to put in Cardinals do have a thought about C.Sterbai or Duplicareus. They have the same (high) temp needs as cardinals.No Cory, No Glory !!
I have had Sterbai's before and I didn't like them, and Adolfoi's Cories are out of the question as they are about $35 each here compared to smudgespots being about $15 and three-lines at $6. If the cardinals don't work I will change them as this tank is dedicated to the cories, not the tetras. I may go with Green neons or black phantom tetras instead. Or Green Flame tetras, which recently became available in my area and are STUNNING!
Presumably the Tail Smudge are Corydoras similis. I suppose the "tail spot" might be Corydoras guapore. These are two of my favourites, and lovely corys. I currently have a group of four C. similis and would get more but they are very rarely available. I got the ones I have some 4-5 years ago. I have only once seen C. guapore locally, back in 1997.
I wouldn't worry about the temperature for cardinals; while it is very true that they do well in warmer water (and are thus good with rams and discus), they are fine at more normal tropical temperatures. I maintain mine around 77-78F (24.5-25C). And these corys will be OK with that too.
The false or green neon, Paracheirodon simulans, is a nice little fish, also very rare, but they can be rather delicate. I've had good luck and not so good luck with two groups of this species, but the bad luck was the origin (store).
Be careful of the green flame, assuming this is Aphyocharax rathbuni which is sometimes commonly called the Green Fire. Stores often make these names up, so the scientific is essential to know. This beauty can be nasty, a real fin nipper, as indeed are all the species in this genus. It can vary, but if it were me I would not get these in this small a tank.
To the question of numbers, the more the better. In a 31-inch length tank, you can go up to around 30 corys. They live in groups of hundreds naturally. Minimum five of a species is best, or more of course. And you can mix species with no issues. I have some 40 corys in my 115g tank, representing 12 or 13 species. Some I grabbed because it's all they had, others as you say were very expensive.
Lots of chunks of wood, and sand substrate. Lots of plants, including floating. None of the corydoras appreciate overhead lighting that is bright. And the cardinals have a "light phobia" as Baensch calls it.
Remember the cardinals are mid to lower level fish, so you may want to find an upper level fish to balance things. Corys, cardinals, and perhaps hatchetfish? The marble (Carnegiella strigata) would be nice here. Of the rocket pencilfish, Nannostomus eques.

Something we all need to remember: The fish you've acquired was quite happy not being owned by you, minding its own business. If youre going to take it under your wing then youre responsible for it. Every aspect of its life is under your control, from water quality and temperature to swimming space. [Nathan Hill in PFK]
Cory Tank?
I noticed it's no use trying to advise someone at the other side of the pond hahahahaha. 30 - 40 Corys is a 80 cm tank? I'd be shot overhere (Holland) if I'd advice that. I am keeping 10 in such a tank. Also keeping such an amount of different Coryspecies and shoals of 6- is thought about a little different ovethere. I am amazed about the prices btw, cause overhere 5 - 10 euro is normal. Hope you'll enjoy your Corys. They really are great! Cheers AadNo Cory, No Glory !!
Though having said that, reading back through my previous post, I see I typed 30 when I think I meant 20. I often hit adjoining keys, and spell checkers will catch mis-spelt words but not words that are wrong if they still make sense, as here.
Corys should be in groups no less than five of a species if possible; though I have some species with only 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the species. I try for 5+ but it isn't always possible for various reasons. Fortunately, they seem to settle in OK if there are more of them, whatever the species. I have four each of C. sterbai and C. duplicareus, and I frequently see one C. sterbai and one C. duplicareus swimming around and interacting. I guess they don't care.

I've heard that the Green fire's can be nippers but never experianced that in my tanks, keeping them alive was the problem I had with them, Strider199 gave me some good advice on them awile back, if I was to try them again. Great info on them here: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...55980276,d.cGE
I realy enjoy my Green neon tetras and have found them to be hardier than most articles say they are. Their behavior IMO is more like Cardinals than neons. Crdinals of course would be my first choice.
Two schools of five Corys would work in the tank your planing.
Is the Cory in this video the one your talking about?

See my profile for my tanks and what fish I keep
what about some of these
I personally know both Lotsoffish (Pete) and Conrad from the local club, and both have high quality fish. Not sure what exactly you are looking for, but these guys aren't the most common type out there.
Just a thought
I agree with Bryon on the set up, my cories love driftwood, lots of plants, subwassertang (floating plant that sinks to the bottom but doesn't root) and sandy substrate. If you are looking to breed them make sure you don't have any snails (will eat the eggs) and if you add RCS they will help keep the eggs clean

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 , 10:06 PM GMT on February 19, 2008
Are storms getting more extreme due to climate change? That is a difficult question to answer, since reliable records are not available at all in many parts of the world, and extend back only a few decades elsewhere. However, we do have a fairly good set of precipitation records for many parts of the globe, and those records show that the heaviest types of rains--those likely to cause flooding--have increased in recent years. According to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007 report, "The frequency of heavy precipitation events has increased over most land areas". Indeed, global warming theory has long predicted an increase in heavy precipitation events. As the climate warms, evaporation of moisture from the oceans increases, resulting in more water vapor in the air. According to the 2007 IPCC report, water vapor in the global atmosphere has increased by about 5% over the 20th century, and 4% since 1970. Satellite measurements (Trenberth et al., 2005) have shown a 1.3% per decade increase in water vapor over the global oceans since 1988. Santer et al. (2007) used a climate model to study the relative contribution of natural and human-caused effects on increasing water vapor, and concluded that this increase was "primarily due to human-caused increases in greenhouse gases". This was also the conclusion of Willet et al. (2007).
More water vapor equals more precipitation
This increase in water vapor has very likely led to an increase in global precipitation. For instance, over the U.S., where we have very good precipitation records, annual average precipitation has increased 7% over the past century (Groisman et al., 2004). The same study also found a 14% increase in heavy (top 5%) and 20% increase in very heavy (top 1%) precipitation events over the U.S. in the past century. Kunkel et al. (2003) also found an increase in heavy precipitation events over the U.S. in recent decades, but noted that heavy precipitation events were nearly as frequent at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, though the data is not as reliable back then. Thus, there is a large natural variation in extreme precipitation events.
Pollution may contribute to higher precipitation
It is possible that increased pollution is partly responsible for the increase in precipitation and in heavy precipitation events in some parts of the world. According to Bell et al. (2008), summertime rainfall over the Southeast U.S. is more intense on weekdays than on weekends, with Tuesdays having 1.8 times as much rain as Saturdays during the 1998-2005 period analyzed. Air pollution particulate matter also peaks on weekdays and has a weekend minimum, making it likely that pollution is contributing to the observed mid-week rainfall increase. Pollution particles act as "nuclei" around which raindrops condense, increasing precipitation in some storms.
The future of flooding
It is difficult to say if the increase in heavy precipitation events in recent years has led to more flooding, since flooding is critically dependent on how much the landscape has been altered by development, upstream deforestation, and what kind of flood control devices are present. One of the few studies that did attempt to quantify flooding (Milly et al., 2002) found that the incidence of great floods has increased in recent decades. In the past century, the world's 29 largest river basins experienced a total of 21 "100-year floods"--the type of flood one would expect only once per 100 years in a given river basin. Of these 21 floods, 16 occurred in the last half of the century (after 1953). With the IPCC predicting that heavy precipitation events are very likely to continue to increase, it would be no surprise to see flooding worsen globally in the coming decades.

Celebrating Capitol Hill Ocean Week with a Commitment to Finalized Plans and a New National Ocean Council Director
Posted On June 10, 2014 by Anne Merwin
Here in Washington, DC we are celebrating Capitol Hill Ocean Week just on the heels of World Oceans Day. As part of the celebration, White House Counselor John Podesta made two key announcements in his opening keynote address. First, an exciting official confirmation that smart ocean plans will be finished by 2016 in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic – spanning the ocean from Maine to Virginia. This important work by the Regional Planning Bodies is a landmark that will help coastal communities and businesses thrive.

Home>About Us>History of the Institution>Former Directors
Raymond Keaveney joined the National Gallery of Ireland as curator in 1979. He was appointed assistant director in 1981 and appointed director in 1988. During his tenure he oversaw many structural interventions to the fabric of the complex on Merrion Square, most notably the complete refurbishment of the Beit Wing (1996); the construction and fit out of the Millennium Wing (2002). More recently he was responsible for steering the project of the Master Development Programme which involves both the restoration of the historic Dargan Wing (1864) and Milltown Wing (1903) together with plans to construct a new extension to the Gallery directly adjacent to the Beit and Millennium Wings. This ambitious project, which is being managed under the supervision of the Office of Public Works with Heneghan+Peng as lead architects, will not only deliver improved conditions in the elegant period accommodation familiar to regular visitors but will critically add much needed facilities for Conservation, Photography, Education and Library– services which are so essential to the operation of the institution.
Under Mr Keaveney's direction, the Gallery expanded its collection and ancillary activities for the enjoyment of the public. Since the 1980s the collection has grown from some 12,500 to over 14,500 works of art today. The Gallery is the nation's single most visited cultural attraction and owes its success not just to the prestige of its outstanding collection of Irish and European fine art but also to its exceptional cycle of exhibition programming, its energetic and inclusive education and outreach programmes as well as its comprehensive research facilities. Attendance figures increased from some 450,000 in the early 1990s to 800,000 in 2000.
In parallel with working to improve and extend the accommodation in which the collections are presented to the public, he worked energetically to foster contact with sister institutions internationally which has resulted in the strategic development of various services, most particularly in its exhibitions programme. The promotion of scholarly research has led to new insights into the collection and facilitated an enhanced appreciation of its significance among the public. The fruits of this commitment to research are most visible in the various exhibition catalogues published over the years as well as in the detailed text catalogues devoted to the different schools in the collection. The recent revamp of the Gallery's website provided a further outlet for conveying the benefits of research to the public. In respect of exhibitions, a substantial element of programming involved the negotiating and mounting of exhibitions, not only in the Gallery but also in the USA, Japan, Australia, Britain and Europe. The most recent and critically acclaimed exhibition, 'Gabriel Metsu: Rediscovered Master of the Dutch Golden Age', was organised and curated by the National Gallery of Ireland and toured the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the National Gallery of Art, in Washington (2011).
Mr Keaveney sat on a number of committees, including the distinguished Bizot Group of Directors of Museums. In February 2007, he was presented with the order of 'Chevalier des Arts et Lettres' by the French Ministry of Culture.

Cocksucking The Rebecca Romijn WayThursday, December 11th, 2008
While Rebecca Romijn may enjoy playing with dildos a lot, and self-pleasure sessions are a big part of her carnal escapades, there's just now way that she can live on that alone. No, she's also a nice, healthy woman who's got the sexual appetite of an Amazon, which is what her 5'10" height makes her in the eyes of some people. And one thing that Rebeccca Romijn loves gobbling down when her appetite gets the better of her is cock. She's no vegetarian who can subsist on a diet of dildos up her poontang, she needs some hot, throbbing cockmeat between her lips too, and sometimes she even uses these occasions to have some interesting and artistic photographs done, like the first Rebecca Romijn cocksucking photo here. It's a sepia-toned black-and-white shot of her tentatively taking a cock into her mouth, and you know what she'll do to that boner when she's got her lips wrapped around it, don't you? If you don't that other pic and her smile as she gets ready to chow down on yet another dick ought to give you a clue.
Don't you just love Rebecca Romijn and the pleasure she's giving us as she indulges herself sexually like this? Well, there's a lot more where that came from, and you can check it all out when you click on this link!

i'm going to visit the kola-peninsula in a few weeks to fish the rynda. can anybody give me an actuel report (flies etc.)?
What week(s) will you be there? Certainly I would suggest flies like sunray shadow tubes, temple dog tubes, green highlanders, hairly mary, blue charm . . . but don't forget dries, as well. Bombers, any number of waking flies.
Hi wrke,
i'll be there in the first week of august. Thank you for the tip. I have already tied the samples you suggested( double-hooks size 6-8 ). recently i heard, that i should use flies down to size 12! is that correct? did you ever visit the rynda?
greetins from hamburg, gemany!
Yes, I've fished Rynda but have spent much more time on the Kharlovka and East Litza. A couple of years ago, the largest fish of our week on the Litza was a 44 lb fish taken on a size 10 waked in the surface, so small flies can work. And we actually took fish on size 14 doubles on the Zolotaya. I think your sizes are good, but don't forget to include some larger sunrays. I've generally fished the 2nd week of August, will likely fish the Rynda in June next year. Not fishing it this year, leave for Montana and Oregon today. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.
I am going to fish the Rynda in the first week of August so I will see you (Bone) there. Getting very excited now as I have never been to the Kola before or fished any further away from home than Scotland. I expect the week to be a very steep learning curve with the fish teaching me a lesson or two. For me it is a trip of a lifetime and it will be some time before I can afford to go on another one or get a pass out from the misses.
Hi Wilbert,
thank you for your answere. I fished the Ponoi a few years ago, and it was fantastic! My father, my good friend Soenke and i will arrive at the Arlanda Airport Hotel on friday evening. Maybe we'll meet at the Bar for a beer (or two).
Wilbert & Bone,
Also heading to Rynda this weekend! First time for both myself and my brother - look forward to seeing you both there!
The latest news sounds promising....
Upon your return please consider posting pictures and reports for us who dream of salmon angling there someday.
The Salmon summer on the swedish west coaste, in norwaf and on the kola peninsula have not been the best.
But Kola is Kola
http://www.kharlovka.com/rynda.html fore reports
Hi Bone,
When you return from the Rynda, please could you give me a full report on what fish were taking and what techniques were most productive. I'm out there in two weeks and have not heard much in the way of feedback from anyone returning this year. Thanks.
Boerie I was out there with Bone but our report would be a little out of date as the trip was in 2004, we both went back in 2005 but on different weeks. The fishing will be great even on a hard week. The whole trip is a great experience and you will have loads of memories that will last a lifetime. As for patterns and techniques be equipped to try everything and to learn lots. Full floaters to fast sinkers and bombers to 2" copper tubes. I did well on willie gunn tubes last year in a whole manner of sizes and weights, Francis tubes seem to work well in red and black too. Fishing a riffled single or a bomber is great fun and is well worth a go, the biggest tip I can give you is to listen to your guide, they know their stuff and the more you listen the more they will teach you. Some of the biggest fish are caught in small pockets of water behind rocks etc so if they tell you to fish a small spot and keep changing your fly this is because your in with a good chance of a fish or 2. I had my biggest fish of 28lbs last year from Peters Pocket, this was largly ignored until about 6 years ago and every year it produces big fish. Wish I was going out there will be saving to go in 2007.
Hi Wilbert,
good to hear from you. Unfortunately i couldn't find the the time for Kola this year, but i plan to go there again in the next season. My father is fishing all four rivers this week! They started on Saturday with 6° C (airtemperature)...
Sven I am hoping to go back again next year. Lawrence has gone this week and is also fishing all 4 rivers so he will probably bump into your dad at some time, wish I was there as the conditions look to be very good.
Hi Wilbert,
i'm also planning to go "back to the u.s.s.r." in the next year and will contact Peter soon. Maybe we'll meet again...
My father came home yesterday, he was pretty impressed of Karlovka and especially of the East Litza. His best fish was a sealiced 20 pounder from the Zolotaya. He has met Lawrence, who will stay for another week. The temperatures were pretty low (6°-16°C clody/light rain).
They have had a good companionship with the other guests and can't wait to return to "Peter's wonderland".
Hi Sven
Im just back from my trip. I was great to see your dad again; it was just a shame that you didnt make it out there too.
We had great conditions on week 32. The rivers were dropping back nicely and there was a great run of fresh fish. We were taking part in an experimental 3 rivers experience where you spend 3 days on Kharlovka & Litza and 3 days on Rynda and Zolotaya. It was fantastic to fish this vast amount of water that arguably amounts to the finest and most pristine wild salmon fishing in the world. Over this week around 260 fish were taken to 20 rods experienced rods who put the time in generally took 20+ fish for the week and many fish in the high teens and 20s were taken. My best was this 25 pound sea licer taken from the Litza Upper Dream Pool. I had that on a thinly dressed Green Highlander bottle tube that took another 4 fish before I lost it on a careless back cast (no, not spey casting, but trying to reach a fish that was taunting me a long way away with a shooting head!). Needless to say I spent a long time looking for that fly.
25 pounder
Litza Upper Dream Pool
16.5 from Kharlovka Rock Pool
Of note, Zolotaya amazed those who visited as there were many reports of fresh MSW fish including 2 fresh 20s.
The next week was a youth week and whilst not quite as many fish came to the net, excellent fishing was had by all with some rods reaching the high teens. Again there were several fish in the twenties and I know of a sea liced 24 from Rynda. The story of the week, however, was 42 pounder from Litza. This fish took more than 2 hours to land and took the angler down 2 miles of Litza rapids. He met his Dad on his journey who promptly started offering advice such as keep the rod up. At this point, having kept this fish on for 1.5 hours the angler thought this advice somewhat unnecessary! The fish took a conehead Wille Gunn (a great fly for these rivers never leave home without one, or sunrays or francis for that matter).
Now Im back to reality and have a stack of great memories, photos and a slightly shorter GLX 15 (which also had a couple of cracks in the blank which never developed, even after landing some 200+ pounds of fish after they were first discovered) to remind me of these great times. Roll on next year .

As he prepares to launch a campaign for president, Newt Gingrich is counting on the backing of an unusually powerful behind-the-scenes donor: a billionaire casino mogul whose business empire stretches from the Palazzo on Las Vegas's famous Strip to the Chinese gambling hub of Macau.
Gingrich's financial angel is the publicity-shy Sheldon Adelson, chairman of the Las Vegas Sands Corp., and the fifth wealthiest man in America as recently ranked by Forbes Magazine.
Investigations launched
Adelson and his gambling company have been plagued by legal troubles in recent months. The Sands recently disclosed that it is being investigated by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission for possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
(that can't be good)
Nevada and Hong Kong regulators have opened their own probes, according to company disclosures.
The inquiries grow out of a wrongful termination lawsuit filed last fall by Steven Jacobs, the former top Sands executive in Macau where Adelson's Venetian casino has become a major profit center for his company.
Jacobs alleged in court papers he was fired because he objected to Adelson's "repeated and outrageous" demands that he use "improper leverage" with Chinese officials to obtain valuable government concessions and that he retain the services of a Macau lawyer who was also a local government official.
Looks like Mr. Aldelson is going to need friends in high places to buy his way out of this.

You are here
If there's one thing Spoleto and its patrons do well, it's an elegant Lowcountry fete. Dining al fresco, mingling on the veranda, and stimulating conversation are staples of any Spoleto party, and the Feng Yi Ting after-party was no exception. The Chinese opera made its debut at this year's Spoleto Festival to rave reviews, and the stars and key crew joined their supporters and Spoleto VIPs at a historic home on Ashley Avenue after the show.
Co-producer Sarina Tang cut a striking figure in a hot pink and black, structural garment while Feng Yi Ting lead Tiemen Shen gracefully chatted with fans. Conductor Ken Lam was also on hand, discussing the work with the excited audience members.
Partygoers rubbed elbows and mingled on the extensive veranda before making their way down to the gardens to enjoy delicious Chinese bites al fresco.
The sophisticated fete was the perfect way to welcome summer, and guests lingered before making their way out into the Charleston summer evening.
Feng Yi Ting made its debut at Spoleto Festival USA, an annual, internationally recognized 17 day festival of the arts which takes place in Charleston, SC. While providing performances of the highest caliber, Spoleto Festival USA maintains a dedication to young artists, a commitment to all forms of the performing arts, a passion for contemporary innovation, and an enthusiasm for providing unusual performance opportunities for established artists.

Milt Pappas
On this date in 1972, Milt Pappas of the Cubs throws a no-hitter beating the Padres 8-0. Pappas had a perfect game until pinch-hitter Larry Stahl walked with two outs in the ninth inning.
"Any of the four pitches could've been called a strike and the last two were definitely strikes. Froemming (umpire) came to the mound after Stahl walked and I called him every name that I knew in the English language. When I ran out of names, I started calling him names in Greek."

I got tired of watching O'Reilly and his self promoting,bloviating ways but just happened to catch his "Weekdays with Bernie" segment..I like Mr Goldberg because of his pragmatic approach to politics and his take on the media, and how they are intellectually dishonest with much of its content...His take on Christie vs Cruz and the TEA Party in general makes you stop and think
Those sophisticates at Time magazine made a funny. They put Chris Christie on their cover with the headline, The Elephant in the Room. Get it? Elephant. Christie. Time magazine did a junior high fat joke right there on its cover. Times executive editor Michael Duffy explained the cheap shot this way: Well, hes obviously a big guy. Hes obviously a big Republican. But hes also done a really huge thing here this week.
The huge thing wasnt only winning re-election as New Jerseys governor, but doing it by appealing to a broad range of voters in a very blue state not just to his conservative base.
But, hey, no harm no foul. Time isnt even a newsmagazine anymore. It became a liberal journal of opinion a long time ago. So you can just hear those wild and crazy journalists at Time sitting around the conference room table giggling about how theyd get away with their fat joke because, well, in the world of politics, the word elephant isnt a synonym with fatso.
But do you think the gang at Time would ever say Barack Obama is a dark horse. In the world of politics dark doesnt mean black, right?
Times cover doesnt necessarily mean that Chris Christie is the GOP frontrunner for 2016. Its way too early for that. But it does help make him the flavor of the month. He was also on all the Sunday TV talk shows this week. You dont get to do that unless youre the flavor of the month, or at least of the week.
Besides, hes a favorite of liberal journalists, not only because hes got a big mouth which makes for some interesting quotes, but also because hes not the most conservative Republican out there. For the same reasons they despise Ted Cruz, they adore Chris Christie. For now.
But if he becomes a serious threat to one of their all-time favs, Hillary Clinton, the so-called mainstream media will turn on Christie with a vengeance. They hated Goldwater and Reagan while they were alive, painting them as crazy right-wing ideologues. When they were dead, they became good conservatives to contrast them with every other conservative who was still breathing.
Its a good bet Christie will run. And if he does, hes charismatic enough to cause the Democrats some sleepless nights. But Christies greatest strength is also his greatest weakness.
Christie can win in a deep blue state like New Jersey because hes not a hard right Tea Party type. That means he can win the support of women and minorities crucial to winning a nationwide election. But the hard right sees him as the latest incarnation of John McCain and Mitt Romney two moderates who lost.
Chris Christie can attract moderates and independents that would give him a shot in swing states that Republicans must win to take the White House. He could win Florida and Ohio and North Carolina and Colorado and New Hampshire, and maybe even Iowa and New Mexico. But he might not be able to win his partys nomination because its conservatives who make up the majority of primary voters, and they at least as of now dont want a Chris Christie. They want a Ted Cruz or a Rand Paul or some other candidate who cant win a national election despite what they think.
What the hard right needs to understand is that if they really want change, first they have to win elections. I know it sounds obvious, but its one of those obvious facts the Tea Party never seemed able to grasp. They picked a bad candidate in Nevada a few years back when a good candidate might have defeated Harry Reid. And they picked a candidate in Delaware who had to go on TV and tell everyone that shes not a witch. She also lost. And there have been other Tea Party favorites who appealed to the hard right base, but because thats never enough, they also lost.
The Tea Party folks are very proud of the fact that they stand on principle. Bulletin: so do less hardline Republicans. But the hard right calls everyone to the left of Ted Cruz a RINO, a Republican in name only. The Tea Party wont like this, but the real RINOs are the Tea Party people. Theyve been very clear that their allegiance is to pure conservatism, not to the Republican Party. Yes, my right wing friends, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul and the others on the far right are the real RINOs.
Because I want Republicans to win, let me offer two pieces of advice. The first to Chris Christie:
Dont pick a fight with your own base, the conservatives who at the moment dont really like you. As Ross Douthat puts in his New York Times column: As a would-be nominee, you have to woo base voters, not run against them, and make them feel respected even when they disagree with you. This doesnt mean muzzling yourself, or pandering to every right-wing interest group. But it means persuading conservatives that you like them, that you understand them and that as president youre going to be (mostly) on their side.
In other words, fight the temptation to go along with liberal journalists who believe the GOP is a party of right-wing morons. Dont get drawn in by their phony admiration for you.
The second piece of advice is for the Tea Party and other purists on the right. If it looks like Chris Christie can win, jump on his bandwagon. Give him your support. And do you best to be passionate about it. If you dont, youll have up to eight years of Mrs. Clinton. No matter how you feel about Christie, hes a lot better than another liberal Democrat, right?
The answer to that last question is obviously yes. But true believers sometimes dont think rationally. Im cautiously optimistic that Chris Christie could win in 2016 (although cautiously hopeful may come closer to my real feelings). But Im pessimistic about his chances of winning the support of his own party. Fundamentalists political, religious or any other kind dont like to bend. Sometimes I think theyd rather lose than compromise. Rush Limbaugh, after all, can barely get the word compromise out of his mouth without gagging. To him, compromise is caving in. Hes a lot like Barrack Obama in that respect.
And so the real elephants in the room are those purist conservatives who will have to decide how badly they want to win. Its still early, but I fear too many of them would rather lose with Ted Cruz than win with Chris Christie.

In order to participate to slow down and stop the progression of this disease, Riga Diabetes & Obesity 2013 will discuss on the latest therapeutic innovations, the new pathways which will allow the development of new pharmaceutical treatments but also discuss how to prevent diabetes and obesity by using natural ingredients to prevent or fight against diabetes and obesity.
Riga Diabetes & Obesity 2013 aims also to launch the discussion between the different actors involved in the fight against obesity. It still remains that diabetes and obesity are multi-factorial problems, involving genetic, neurological, behavioral and cultural components, and as such, a long term solution to the problem is unachievable through single sector approach. Instead an integrated strategy is required, with input and close collaboration from all of the many different stakeholders involved - the food industry, governments and regulators, researchers, health professionals, the media, and of course consumers themselves.

New RIC Parents Get Their Own Orientation
Chris and Kristina Fleischmann's daughter Katrina will study nursing at RIC as a member of the Class of 2017.
Parents of incoming college freshmen may have as many questions and concerns as their children regarding campus life, financial aid, courses and many other aspects of the collegiate experience. To help parents assist their children's transition from high school to college, and to help navigate their own change to parents of college students, Rhode Island College holds a series of parent orientation programs.
RIC President Nancy Carriuolo offered a welcome to parents at the start of a day-long program in June.
Bill and Charlene Fraiser of Coventry attended the program. Their daughter Megan will enter RIC this fall undecided on her major. Charlene Fraiser was eager to talk to faculty advisors and counselors about courses so that she might help her daughter choose a major. "I've also never been to campus and wanted to see it," Fraiser said. "I wanted to see what choices she has. RIC was a good choice for her because she didn't want to leave home and she has a lot of friends coming here."
Several dozen parents attended a breakfast during which advisors sat with them to answer questions one-on-one before attendees moved on to workshops. RIC faculty and staff held sessions on residence hall living, financial aid and student billing, and how parents can assist their children in meeting academic and non-academic expectations. Parents also had the chance to learn about student health services, dining options and programming.
Chris and Kristina Fleischmann of Middletown were at the program because their daughter Katrina will be a nursing major at RIC as a member of the class of 2017.
"Katrina investigated all of the area nursing programs and found RIC's was the best," Kristina Fleischmann said. "Then when she came to orientation, she was really impressed. I'm excited for her."
The Fleischmans, who said they bought Smartphones so they could 'Facetime' with their daughter, have been to RIC for a few visits but were interested in learning all they could about financial aid.
Cheryl and Steve Lomas of Saunderstown were repeat attendees at parents' orientation. Their son James, a justice studies major, is returning for his sophomore year this fall. Their daughter, Allison, will be a freshman in the nursing program.
Cheryl Lomas said she is pleased that her daughter will have James around to help her navigate campus life. The Lomas parents were at the orientation just to make sure they were caught up on RIC life.
"It's just a refresher to maybe pick up on something," Cheryl Lomas said.

The Corbett administration Monday asked Commonwealth Court to reconsider its finding that the Pennsylvania voter ID law is unconstitutional.
Judge Bernard McGinley earlier this month found the 2012 law violates the state constitution by imposing an unreasonable burden on voters.
Gov. Tom Corbett's general counsel, James Schultz, said in a statement Monday that the administration disagrees with the ruling and that Mr. Corbett has always favored encouraging people to exercise their right to vote.
"The requirement of a photo ID in no way infringes upon this right, especially in today's environment where an ID is essential to do just about anything," Mr. Schultz said. "The administration has gone to great lengths to ensure that citizens are afforded the opportunity to get an ID in the unlikely event they do not have one."
If the court does change its ruling, the administration will ask the court to not require photo identification at the polls in the primary and general elections this year "to avoid even the chance of confusion for voters."
In a filing with the court, attorneys for the administration wrote, in part, that Judge McGinley found errors in how the administration had implemented the voter ID law but should not then have concluded the law itself is unconstitutional.

10 Tips To Take Great Photographs
Are you a photography novice, taking photographs as a hobby, or have you been a professional photographer for years? Either way, you could always learn something new when it comes to the art of photography. Whether it be the lighting, angle, shadow, or the subject itself, any tips for taking great pictures should not be dismissed. We decided to take a collection of the best tips on taking great pictures and put into a simple list. Read on below to find out our top 10 tips for taking great photographs.
1) Make eye contact with your subject
Hold the camera at the subject's eye level, and engage their gaze. This will make the picture feel more personal and inviting to the one looking at it. It's also more comfortable for the person that's being photographed as people enjoy eye contact and this can show in pictures.
2) Use the flash outdoors during the day
You might think, "I don't need my flash when it's so bright." Sometimes the sun creates unwanted shadows on people's faces that the flash can wipe out. Turning on the flash can brighten faces and even out that unwanted light that can be harsh.
3) Get up close
Fill the frame with your subject by getting in close and not wasting so much space around them. Plus, you might be able to see details on someone that were once too far away to detect from farther away. Many novice photographers make the mistake of not getting close enough as they assume the picture can be cropped down later. This can be done but you lose a lot of detail that you otherwise would have picked up if you just get a little closer.
4) Natural expression
Try and get a "real" smile out of someone to make the photograph seem more genuine. Tell a funny joke or compliment them to make the smile feel more natural. Great photographs are natural, you don't want forced expressions like a JC Penny Portrait Studio.
5) Do research, quit buying
So many photographers starting out think they need all the best equipment to be the best. Put away the urge to buy ANOTHER lense, and pick up a photography book, shadow a more experienced photographer, even go online and look at examples of creative photographs. There are many world renowned photographers that are using what many would consider out of date gear. Much like golf, it's not as much about the clubs as it is the swing. Same goes in photography, it's not as much about the camera as it is the person holding the camera.
6) Focus, focus, focus
Nobody wants a blurry picture, right? Lock in the focus of your subject by moving them slightly away from the center. This will keep the auto-focus function from kicking in and give you more control of how to adjust your lens.
7) Simplify your pictures
Putting too many things in your image is distracting and can be confusing on what the person looking at the photo should be focusing on. One to three things is enough to engage the person. A solid rule of thumb is that you want your pictures to be as simple as possible, just keep it simple.
8) What's that back there?
Be aware of what lingers behind your subject. Be sure to survey the entire photograph area and not just the subject. An unpleasant background that draws the eye away from the subject is the opposite of what you would want.
9. Change it up!
Varying the types of photos you take can help to convey what you as the photographer are trying to get across. For example, shooting portraits the same way every time is boring and doesn't show your strengths and adaptability. Not to mention if you never venture out and try different things you may never discover where you truly shine.
Wanna get better at taking pictures? Take pictures. A lot. Play with different backgrounds, focal points, and angles. The point is to experiment with all possibilities and to form your own photography style, making your pictures unique.

Coastal Erosion
Shoreline Management Plan
The Holderness Coast in the north east of England stretches for 61½ km from the high chalk cliffs of Flamborough Head in the north to the sand spit of Spurn Point in the south. Renowned for having the highest erosion rates in Europe, the Holderness coast is quoted as eroding at 1.8m per annum. The coastline itself is comprised of low sedimentary cliffs, at the base of which are thin narrow beaches.
For specific erosion issues found within this parish see the following
The geography department at the University of Hull have developed
a website whereby colour aerial photographs showing 60 km of the
Holderness coast have been overlaid with first edition 1852 Ordnance
Survey maps. By clicking on the map, the user can bring up one kilometre
strips of the Holderness coastline showing the rates of retreat.

text: Just came back from CONISLI (www.conisli.org.br), an International Software Libre event. I met jahnke there and other people I've already met and made some new friends. Watch the talk made by Georg Greeve from FSF Europe. We had the opportunity to make some discussion about Debian-BR-CDD update. People want a more end-user-friendly interface to install new software. I was in favour of a Debian way of doing it, instead of making a new and centralized application. My proposal was of extending control files with a new field and new sections, besides an icon identifying the package in every one of them, with one default icon identifying some section, when it is not provided (for libs and devels software, mainly). That way, every maintainer would do its job, instead of having a CDD team doing it for every package. Let's see where it goes.

The 'funny' thing is today I heard some talk about the NFL and how players and coaches etc are wearing pink this month but pancratic cancer has (if I remember this correctly) a 4% survival rate.
Steve Jobs deserves his own thread, but I fear it would degrade into a Mac vs. PC argument.
Rest in peace Mr. Jobs.
May the force be with you.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Jobs. On behalf of all the children who grew up in 1980s that, though their parents could not afford to have a computer at home, had Apple Computers when they went to school, thank you. I am truly saddened by his passing at a relatively young age, but he certainly accomplished more than most ever do.
Charles Napier
Mr. Napier lived somewhere very close to me (I never knew exactly where) as I would see him in stores and restaurants my family and I would frequent for the better part of twenty years. Always a gentleman and appreciative of his fans. I will miss his cordiality. Rest well, Mr. Napier.

The Black Fiddler's Unlikely Home in Blues
By John Morthland, Contributor
In the 19th century, the most popular instruments played by black musicians in America were the banjo and the fiddle, and black and white string bands had virtually indistinguishable sounds. By the early days of the recording industry, though, both were on the way out. Yet the fiddle in particular was still prevalent enough that a fair number of black players were recorded, particularly in blues and jazz, and that's a good thing. With its… more »

When President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet in St. Petersburg tomorrow, there can be no heady claims, like last year's, that the two countries are "quasi-allies." Their clash over Iraq has re-created the very relationship that both presidents took office wanting to end. Bush and Putin may, of all things, be turning back into Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin.
In the 1990s, Russian and U.S. leaders found different ways to sustain a partnership that too often fell short of expectations. President Clinton always wanted to "turn the page" -- look beyond the disagreement of the moment to a time when Russia's interests and ours would converge. For his part, Yeltsin wanted to avoid looking subservient by denouncing the United States whenever it used force -- knowing that when the next summit rolled around it would be good old "Bill and Boris" again.
Bush and his advisers called the Clinton approach "happy talk." Now, after Iraq, they have an equally cheerful idea: "Forgive" Russia and rebuild relations. Putin also disdained his own predecessor's policy, viewing the intemperate Yeltsin style as a sign of weakness. But critics insist that Putin's handling of Iraq amounts to the same thing -- futile opposition to the United States and nothing to show for it.
What both presidents aspire to re-create, of course, is the U.S.-Russian harmony that followed Sept. 11, 2001. White House officials remember the elation they felt on discovering there was someone in the Kremlin ready and, more important, able to "join the West." As for Russia, the war on terrorism offered a new formula for relations with Washington: For the first time since the end of the Cold War, it could join a U.S.-led coalition as an equal partner.
Recovering this moment will be difficult; neither side's expectations have held up well. After Sept. 11, the core American premise was that Putin could and would deliver meaningful cooperation. Since then he has done so only in cases where the United States could be satisfied with minimal Russian agreement. From launching the war in Afghanistan to establishing a military presence in Central Asia and Georgia, from terminating the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty to inviting the Baltic states into NATO, the Bush administration has needed little more than Putin's grudging assent.
On issues where the United States wanted more active Russian help, it has not gotten it. Iran and North Korea are conspicuous examples. Russia's see-no-evil stance has been that its nuclear relations with Tehran were purely commercial and that it had no hard evidence of an Iranian nuclear weapons program. A recent visit to Iran by International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors has shaken this claim, and Russian officials are backing away from it. But they still reportedly resist the idea that their own relations with Iran should be scaled back. As with North Korea, the Russian answer to a growing proliferation crisis is to label it an American problem: Call us when it's fixed, and we'll give our grudging assent.
"Forgiving" Russia, in short, means returning to issues like these, on which Moscow and Washington are far apart. American demands for more supportive Russian policies are growing. Confidence that Putin will offer such support is not.
As for Putin, his own post-Sept. 11 goals have been shaken, too. A year ago, cooperating with the United States against common threats seemed a way of enlarging Russia's international role. It made Putin look strong and important. Tangling with the United States over Iraq has had the opposite effect. By making the containment of American power his test of success, Putin has, like Yeltsin, made cooperating with the United States look like proof of failure. In this way, he has squandered the opening that Sept. 11 gave him.
Both Bush and Putin face reelection campaigns next year, and they may spend the time between now and then pretending to rebuild their old amity. But they should heed the lessons of the 1990s. People won't believe presidential rhetoric about improving cooperation unless there's something to it. If there isn't, the air gradually goes out of the balloon.
Neither Bush nor Putin should see electoral pressures as an obstacle to achieving better results. For both of them, good policy can be good politics. Putin can begin to restore his reputation for strong leadership by repositioning Russia on any of several stalemated issues. If he fears the appearance of helping the United States against Iran, then why not reshape the debate by starting to talk about how Iran has deceived Russia? Why not leapfrog the issue of Iraqi debt and propose a radical cut in what Russia wants to be repaid? (This is where he'll end up anyway.) Why not give Russia's listless Middle East diplomacy a jolt (and maybe even invigorate the "road map") by announcing that Russia too will cease to deal with Yasser Arafat? Putin has played a weak hand badly -- why not start playing it well?
What Bush needs to do is quite different. Russians admit that they have underestimated the impact of Sept. 11 on American thinking, but it's not their fault alone. The Bush administration has not helped potential allies to understand its outlook and direction, and without such understanding, friendly governments fear they will look as though they are being led around by the nose. Bush and Putin have reportedly agreed to create a forum for strategic discussion, chaired by their own senior advisers rather than by their foreign ministers. Both sides desperately need high-level contact; even more, they need high-level content. Such a forum will increase confidence only if the United States has something to say.
What Bush and Putin have to do will be hard. There is this, and perhaps only this, reason to hope for success: Serving both sides' real interests just by pretending will be harder still.
