|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Hmmm Sounds like a job for my banjo minnow :hehe:
Lake Onieda
Enjoyed some time on Lake Onieda in NY fishing for Walleye, bass and sunfish. I tried fishing abit using my fly rod and clouser minnows, But after most of the morning without a strike I switched over to a spinner worm harness and started hooking up.
Big bass jumping out of the water much of the morning in 12-35 feet of water. Not sure what they were feeding on But it was nice to see big fish pop up here and there.
Fished along the drop off in 12-22 ft deep around north bay west of the channel by a mile or so. Found fish over the weed bed and near the drop offs.
Both evenings I found fish feeding on minnows on the sand bar area. Wouldn't brave the lighning bolts or abandon the great food and drink to chase them though.
Despite all the negative publicity about zebra mussles they seem to be cleaning the water up abit. Certainly ot a bad thing from what I saw.

Bronze Corner Rounding Plane 3/16" Radius No. 144
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $95.00
- Item Not Available
This is a made in U.S.A. bronze copy of the Stanley No. 144 Rounding plane, cast in bronze so it's rust free! The old Stanley rounding planes are hard to find and much more costly. I have three different radius sizes in stock, but this one is the 3/16" size. There is a set screw and Allen wrench included for one of the tapped holes in the side of the casting (to adjust the side position of the cutter). This is a brand new, never used, plane with a good sharp cutter.
I can supply extra 3/16" cutters to fit this plane or the Stanley No. 144 also, at an additional cost.
This plane measures 7.5" long overall x 5/8" thick.
Each one of these is cast bronze, that means it is more resistant to cracking than cast iron! Each one is hand finished by one man, the owner of St. James Tool Co.. Each one must meet the same high standard of quality. We offer several of the St. James Tool Co. tools and parts on this website, including Stanley replacement parts, cutters, routers, planes, shaves and more. A top quality made plane, ready to use! Recommended!

By Errol Castens/Daily Journal Oxford Bureau
OXFORD – The University of Mississippi's director of parking and transportation said daily express bus service from Oxford to Memphis, Jackson and New Orleans is a possibility.
Isaac Astill said Wednesday that he is in preliminary negotiations with two companies that could offer trips from a yet-to-be-determined location on the Ole Miss campus to Memphis, Jackson and New Orleans for one-way fares in the $15 to $45 range.
"There would be no cost to the city or the university," Astill said, noting one company, Megabus, has said it would only require a passenger loading site with parking near Highway 6.
As proposed, there would be three northbound and three southbound buses each day, he said.
While Oxford-University Transit's buses are transporting nearly 100,000 riders a month, mostly to and from Ole Miss, lack of intercity transit compels most students to drive to Oxford in a private vehicle, making it all too tempting for many to drive onto campus as well.
"We're not proposing that we're going to eliminate parking for underclassmen, but this is a step toward changing people's habits of driving," he said.
The proposed intercity transit service would also connect Oxford air passengers by Memphis Area Transit Authority to Memphis International Airport.
Oxford-University Transit Manager Ron Biggs said Megabus or another intercity service could complement the service OUT offers.
"I'm familiar with Megabus, and they generally stop in the major cities," he said.
Megabus serves scores of other cities and college towns in more than 30 states.
Astill did not name the second intercity bus company with which he has had contact but said it is not Greyhound. He cautioned against counting intercity bus connections as a done deal.
"We're still in the initial talking stage," he said.

By Carlie Kollath Wells/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – City officials have proposed a new development code they hope will make life easier for businesses.
"This code is intended to create more opportunities in more places for businesses," said City Planner Pat Falkner. "It's intended to be more friendly to private business than our last code was. … We want it to be a code that allows new things to happen and to allow the market to go where it needs to go but doesn't force it."
It applies to all businesses, big and small.
The drafted code is about 2 inches thick and is posted at TupeloMS.gov/development. The planning committee hosts a public hearing about the proposed code at 6 p.m. Monday at City Hall. The committee then will have the option to recommend it to the City Council.
So far, Falkner said less than 25 people have come to the work sessions held by the Department of Development Services. He said he hasn't heard any feedback from businesses, even though he's given copies of the draft to several groups.
"Nobody's really sat down and said 'This whole approach is wrong' or 'These numbers don't work,'" he said. "It's been just minor changes. I frankly think it's because they haven't given it enough attention. If we had more development going on, I think you'd have more attention paid to it."
Falkner said the development code has several major changes, including allowing more mixed-use development throughout the city. The current code, which was adopted in 1994, "assumed we had all the land we'd ever need," Falkner said. It emphasized large lots with big setbacks from the street.
The proposed code would decrease the minimum size of lots and would allow for denser development, a trend Falkner said is emphasized in the city's comprehensive plan.
The proposed code also removes layers of review for businesses, Falkner said.
Under the current code, businesses have to go before the planning committee for approval for items. With the proposed code, more of the reviews will be done within the development services department.
"The old code was black and white," he said. "You met the standard or you didn't. The new code will have a lot more in between, a lot more 'Let's talk about that.'" There's a lot of provisions for flexibility in the code."
The code includes a checklist to help developers put together projects. It follows a points system.
"It's better to have something spelled out black and white than to have people guess what you want," Falkner said. "It puts definite numbers and measures in their hands and not 'Can you get the planning committee to buy your proposal?'"
If the City Council approves the code, Falkner said there will be a transition period for businesses currently in the development process. His goal is to be operating 100 percent under the proposed code by July 1.
And, Falkner said much of the new code won't apply to current businesses. They'll be grandfathered in, he said. But if they make changes or have a disaster like a fire, they might fall under the new code, depending on the situation and their location, he said.
The proposed code took about two years to update and incorporates 52 specific recommendations from the comprehensive plan. It also used residential and business feedback gathered during the comprehensive plan process.
"We don't just make up what we think needs to be in the code," Falkner said. "It's an open process. Anybody who wants to take the time to look at it and think about it, we're open to listening to them. Just about everything in there reflects a balancing process. We can't guarantee we'll change everything to suit people."

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well it's 2:29 and I am at a point where loss of sleep will be detrimental to tomorrow... er today's workload.
I have seen no emails or PMs except lots of spam and an exchange with my karate sensei on how best to help our hotshot teen student compete overseas not too long ago this AM. He's a night owl too.
I've thought about this a little bit and decided that the spirit of a sponsorship is not a commercial deal where we are obliged by money, but it should be a bond of cooperation.
I thought about it more and realized that the Forum among other things, is a big part of my recreation. I do it because I enjoy it, there is a lot of good spirit going on here and that's remarkable. It's a sanctuary from the storm, and freindly port just a click away, a favorite pub full of regulars and new faces alike. I dont want it to become work. I already got that and with kids in college I will have that for a while to come.
I apologize that I dropped the ball on your inquiry. If we go forward I would appreciate a more cooperative approach than questioning the fact that I replied to threads as a reason to call me on sponsorship troubles.
Maybe it's time to change the grass-roots style of the place to something a little more sustainable after all these years, like compensated positions for people who take real roles in the site operations.
A thought for another day, good night.
Well this gives me an opportunity to clarify something I've need to for some time...
I work with my face planted in a computer (often more than one) and when I am waiting for a compilation or a big query to finish I will pop up a screen and post something. Some people take cigarette breaks, I don't smoke nor even have to go to the fire escape for my break. But that does not mean I have time to spare, not even weekends often enough in fact I am going to have to get back to work here in a minute - I had two major account deadlines within three days and today's ran over into tomorrow.
But this quickfire posting presence frequently creates the perception that a computer is something I make time to play with, like many readers do I'm sure. I sit in front of these things an average of 75 hours a week with the job I have especially during the winter. I might have the cycles to post something but frankly that's about it most times.
Anyway, I've been through outlook email hell and have switched to thunderbird (mozilla) and am doing much better now. If I recall we spoke briefly about terms but if I recall we never reached an agreement. If you'd still like to participate as a professional presence in the community the terms are pretty straight forward.
Lets talk by private message. I hope that will work better. So I ask - let's not hijack this thread in this manner any further.
In the meantime... if someone could pick up the sponsorship manager role for 2006 I would be willing to negotiate a good reward program. How about a guided trip...
|I have to say Juro, I am amazed at the speed of your response to my post. I am amazed because I still have unconfirmed email receipts to you dating 11/26 and 12/7 regarding sponsorhip/advertising for my guide business. I had initially posted a fishing report and was immediately reprimanded for not being a sponsor. Not a problem. The only thing is have been waiting for close to three months to get a response to my email regarding my potential sponsorship. If you'd like I can cut and paste all of the emails to refresh your memory. Thanks- Pete.
You just caught the wrong snook................
Eric -
You just did not have the right Snook on, I bet this one would take some drag off that eight weight (I do not know the angler just that it was from Panama).
As mentioned earlier - Fishing for snook is about the take and the 20 seconds after the take. I have seen more than one 9 weight snapped at the base while trying to stop a pig from trying to make it back under the dock.
Even though they do not have the stamina of a bone (or the speed for that matter) - this fish still offers one of the best takes and pulling power of any shallow water fish in Florida!
Hopefully I'll run into some of the more hostile ones on my trip to Longboat Key March 11-19; purchased the full season saltwater license (instead of the 7 day one) so I could fish the extra day (or two) and put a little into the conservation kitty. Planning on working the mangrove flats on the Sarasota Bay side (there's a great public park with wading access to the flats- Jimmy Durante's widow donated the funds for the park) during the day, and the inlet at the northern tip of the island at night (the bridge lights should attract the snook). Wish me luck!
Well I'm inspired Mel...
I need to meet some of these meaner snook someday soon! As cold as it is up here now would be real good
tight lines
|Capt. Mel Simpson
More and more I find myself expressing my opinions based on my experiences, like 36 years of steelheading with a fly (sometimes doing that while living out of the back of my car), on the Umpqua, the Deschutes or the Clearwater from August through October fishing everyday for the 3 months.
Then there's 25 years of saltwater, like doing two 15 day trips a year to Andros or Belize for 9 years. Oh, I almost forgot, how about catching stripers from a pram behind the old PanAm hanger at SFO.
And then the last 13 years I've been fishing out of my flats boat a couple hundred days a year, mostly for snook, redfish, tarpon and bonefish with one trip a year to the Northwest to steelhead fish.
Memorable fish? Ah, there've been a few and I'm still glad I came to Florida to chase snook!
Thanks, Mel. This is really what I was wondering. I thought maybe the fish were "off" due to conditions. As to what I expected, I guess I was looking for more speed and stamina than the fish were able to deliver under the conditions prevaling at the time. I'm looking forward to fishing for them again this summer.
Arubaman: great analysis. I think you make a great deal of sense in regards to the stamina of ambushing fish compared to fish that must chase down their prey.
|Capt. Mel Simpson
I don't know what you are comparing catching a Snook to, but I grew up in Oregon and have fly fished for Steelhead from the Grande Ronde to the Umpqua and also in Idaho, Washington and British Columbia. I've fly fished for Bonefish and Permit in the Bahamas, Belize and the Keys. In 1993 I moved to the west coast of Florida to expressly fly fish for Snook (the Redfish and the Giant Tarpon here were just an added enticement). And I've never been disappointed. Catching a Snook while sight casting on a shallow flat, or at night or in the backcountry mangroves can be a rod breaking experience! I guess I just find the whole sight fishing experience so much more exciting than three quarters down and swing.
Now, I was in the Keys March and April of last year and at Homosassa in May and June so I only night fished for Snook in upper Tampa Bay during the red tide so maybe that was the problem. I heard that the red tide really hurt the fish and made them sort of like hooking a spawned out Sandy River hatchery Steelhead in February.
|Have to agree with Stan and Capt. Pete...Snook are hard pulling fish when they make that run for the mangroves..very difficult to stop compared to most fish of their size that favor shallow water.
Having caught many I would say they are a largemouth bass on steroids. Hook a big fish around mangroves and you will be luck if you can turn him. In open water or current a big fish will have a strong initial run but not a such long run then it will start to tire. After I turned one of my tornament bass fishing buddies on to snook fishing he said it improved his bass fishing because a big bass did not seem to be that big of a deal fight-wise anymore. BTW, he just lives off of West Lake Toho in Kissimmee, FL, home of the legendary BASS record stringer.
The fish I caught and called "snook" looked like this:
|Are you sure you guys having been catching snook?
|the few snook that I've caught fell into that category. But what I can't understand is how large and smallmouth bass seem to be cut from entirely different cloth in this same respect.

How dare he?
January 23rd, 2013
The strangeness of the Manti Te'o story — wherein the star linebacker for Notre Dame University supposedly was lured into an tragic online romance with a woman who never existed — has overshadowed the failure of a compliant media that never bothered to fact-check Te'o's claims. Instead, the press swallowed a too-good-to-be-true story that fit neatly into the "Notre Dame mystique."

Well, I ended up going the draft-it-yourself route, using diagrams from a Lady Boutique magazine. It took me ages to settle on a fabric. I never found a sweater knit I liked, but found this nice brushed interlock - but it's still not ideal. I realize now, the pattern is more of a jacket than a cardigan, so I'm getting all this jacket ease with a fabric meant for a cardigan.
Lady Boutique magazines utilize three different bodice slopers. I've made two of the slopers now. It seemed whenever I found a pattern I liked, it used the sloper I hadn't made.

What Is Atopic Dermatitis?
Content Provided By Dermatology Specialists of Spokane.
Atopic dermatitis, also known as exzema, often appears before a child's first birthday and causes itchy skin that is red, warm, and tender.
This is a common skin disease in children. It is so common that people have given it a few names:
- Eczema (name most people use)
- Dermatitis
- Atopic (a-top-ic) eczema
- Atopic dermatitis
To avoid confusion, we'll use the medical term atopic dermatitis.
Children often get atopic dermatitis (AD) during their first year of life. If a child gets AD during this time, dry and scaly patches appear on the skin. These patches often appear on the scalp, forehead, and face. These patches are very common on the cheeks.
No matter where it appears, AD is often very itchy. Infants may rub their skin against bedding or carpeting to relieve the itch.
In children of all ages, the itch can be so intense that a child cannot sleep. Scratching can lead to a skin infection.
Because atopic dermatitis can be long lasting, it is important to learn how to take care of the skin. Treatment and good skin care can alleviate much of the discomfort.

Hope College officials today announced the name of the school's new $5.3 million Van Andel Soccer Stadium at a groundbreaking ceremony honoring the project's lead donors, David and Carol Van Andel. The Van Andel family revealed a lead gift of $3 million from the David & Carol Van Andel Foundation to help build a world-class athletic facility serving the HopeCollege soccer program and Holland-area sports and recreation community.
"As Hope College alumni and the proud parents of two Flying Dutchmen, Carol and I are honored to be involved in a project that will enhance the school's athletic program and provide our community with one of the finest soccer stadiums in the country," said David Van Andel. "In addition to enjoying a beautiful new facility, we are confident the community will also realize a significant economic impact with the ability to attract major sporting events to the area."
Designed to complement Hope's recently expanded athletic complex, the new stadium will be built on the site of the college's existing soccer fields on Fairbanks Avenue near 11th Street in Holland. The state-of-the-art facility will include stadium-style and bleacher seating for 1,400 fans, a concession stand, public restrooms, two locker rooms, a training room, a meeting room for visiting teams along with a ticket booth and press box. It will also feature terrace areas for picnics and tailgating as well as lighting for night games and artificial turf. Construction is expected to be completed this October.
"Our gift is a tribute to the tireless dedication of the Hope College players, coaches and staff, a recognition of the impressive records set by both the men's and women's soccer teams, and an opportunity to engage the community and energize its youth," said Carol Van Andel.
The $5.3 million project cost includes construction and a maintenance endowment. In addition to the naming gift, a second leadership gift along with many other contributions have made this construction possible.
"We are extremely grateful to the Van Andel family for their extraordinary generosity. This stadium simply would not have been possible without their support," said Hope College President James E. Bultman. "Their gift and other contributions from the community enable HopeCollege to serve and attract future generations of students through the continued construction of quality academic and athletic facilities."

Gov. Mike Pence's budget – the major focus of his State of the State address Tuesday night – would pump state dollars into transportation and infrastructure only after Indiana's surplus tops 12.5 percent of what it spends in a year.
Pence's budget team estimates that would be worth $347 million over the next two years, but state legislative leaders said they're more likely to deal with transportation funding in the actual budget, rather than through a trigger mechanism using the surplus.
Pence's proposal "gives me a bit of pause," said House Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis. "Many of us that have been through this for a while see that we have larger needs than just to rely on a surplus. … Personally, I hesitate to just rely on expected reserves on that because it relies on economic growth."
Senate President Pro Tem David Long, R-Fort Wayne, said he is similarly wary about Pence's transportation funding plan.
"We need to find a permanent, sustainable course," Long said. "I'd like to see a more permanent source for that funding if we can find it."
Bosma added: "You can't declare yourself the Crossroads of America without investing in transportation and infrastructure."
Pence is pushing hard for a 10 percent cut in Indiana's individual income tax rate. While lawmakers have said they desire to fund education at a higher level than the governor is proposing, transportation funding could be its most significant obstacle.

One system may excel at creating certain types of voices, but none covers the full sonic vocabulary required by modern music production. The Extended Synthesis system employed in the EX synthesizers puts the full spectrum of electronic sound at your fingertips by combining multiple state-of-the-art Yamaha tone generation technologies in one incredibly versatile instrument. There's the outstanding sample-based sound and programmability of AWM synthesis. For incredibly realistic and expressive wind and string instrument simulations there's VL synthesis. When you want a beefy analog synthesizer voice, AN synthesis can give it to you. And all-new FDSP technology offers the most responsive effects and simulated resonant systems available. All of these tone generator systems are brought together in a four-element voice structure which allows up to four different "waves" - the basic building blocks of the EX voices - to be combined as required. This is simply the most powerful array of tone generation technologies ever provided in a single keyboard or tone generator unit.
Virtual Acoustic Synthesis (Available on the EX5/5R)
The same tone generator technology used in the ground-breaking VL1, and the currently popular VL70-m tone generator. Yamaha Virtual Acoustic (VL) Synthesis tone generation system applies sophisticated computer-based "physical modeling" technology to musical sound synthesis, accurately simulating the very complex vibrations, resonances, reflections and other acoustic phenomena that occur in a real wind or string instrument. VL Voice Structure VL voices can have 1 VL element and from 1 to 3 AWM elements. The VL element can be used alone to emphasize the full realism and expressive power of the VL tone generator, or with added AWM elements for thicker textures.
FDSP Synthesis (Available on the EX5/5R/7)
FDSP, or "Formulated Digital Sound Processing" adds a sophisticated note-dependent effect processor to the basic AWM synthesis system. In contrast to a standard effect stage, the FDSP synthesis stage uses individual note and velocity data to control effect parameters, thus making it possible to simulate the characteristics of a number of real-world musical components, as well as produce totally new effects. For example, FDSP can effectively model the frequency and velocity dependent characteristics of electromagnetic guitar or piano pickups, thus adding more realistic response to these types of voices, or adding a whole new dimension to other sounds. It can also alter the delay time of flange or chorus type effects according to the note played, thus producing totally new sounds that are responsive and "alive". FDSP Voice Structure FDSP voices have from 1 to 4 AWM elements with an FDSP stage between the elements and the main effect stage. The FDSP stage can be applied to any or all of the AWM elements used, as required. AN + FDSP Voice Structure The EX5 and EX5R allow the AN and FDSP tone generator systems to be combined in "AN + FDSP" voices which can have 1 AN element and from 1 to 3 FDSP elements. The FDSP stage can be applied to any or all of the AWM elements used, as required.
AWM Synthesis (Available on the EX5/5R/7)
AWM, or "Advanced Wave Memory", is Yamaha's original system for effectively using sampled waveforms in synthesizers and tone generators. The strength of AWM synthesis lies not only in its outstanding sound quality, but also in its extraordinary ability to shape and control the sound of the samples with a comprehensive system of envelope generators, filters, key scaling parameters, modulation, and more. AWM Voice Structure AWM voices can have from 1 to 4 AWM elements. Each AWM element can use a preset wave or a sampled waveform. The ability to combine AWM elements means that you can, for example, combine separate samples for the attack and sustain portions of an instrument's sound, with independent control over each.
AN Synthesis (Available on the EX5/5R/7)
Yamaha AN Synthesis (Analog Physical Modeling) offers all the benefits of traditional analog synthesis with the stability, reproducibility, and precise control of digital technology. It is capable of accurately reproducing the sound of classic analog synthesizers without patch cables, setting charts, or the frustrating instability that was the bane of the analog age. AN(Poly) Voice Structure A standard (Poly) AN voice can have 1 AN element and from 1 to 3 AWM elements. Classic analog synth type sounds can be created with the single AN element alone. AWM elements can be added as necessary to "modernize" the sound. AN(Layer) Voice Structure The EX5 and EX5R additionally allow "AN layer" voices which can have 1 or 2 AN elements and 1 or 2 AWM elements. The combination of two AN elements in this voice type can result in really thick, powerful, punchy analog type voices. Once again, the AWM elements can be used to add realistic samples or other textures.

Holmen beats Ona twice to advance to State
SPARTA, Wis. - Just as it should, it came down to second-ranked Onalaska and fourth-ranked Holmen Sunday in Sparta.
Only one team could advance from the class-AA regional to State.
Holmen (3-1) would need to beat Onalaska (3-0) twice in the double-elimination tournament in order to do so.
Mission accomplished. Holmen won 7-3 and 5-0, and they're headed back to State to defend their title.
"It feels great to go back after last year," Holmen pitcher Brandon Knutson said. "Hopefully we bring another state title back to Holmen."
"It feels awesome," said Head Coach Matt Jessessky. "Being able to come in on Sunday and win two games in a row over a very, very tough Onalaska team, it's just an outstanding feeling."
This Holmen team is much younger than the one from last year, but they're confident they can repeat.
"Last year, I think we had a little more talent, but I think this year we want to go get it more," Knutson said.
In the class-A regional in Prairie du Chien, Mitch Stalsberg hit a three-run walk-off homer with a full count and two outs, as Viroqua beat Westby 10-9. Both teams, however, will advance to State because Viroqua automatically qualifies as the host school.
La Crescent also advanced to State Sunday, beating Rochester Lourdes 6-1. The Lancers play Friday in Bird Island.21215654

Like every NBA rookie, LeBron James had high hopes.
When he joined the Cavaliers right out high school (Akron) after being selected # 1 in the 2003 Draft, he surely thought anything was possible. As far as NBA accolades were concerned, the sky was the limit.
Not just because he was a phenomenal talent with a ton of hype, but because any team that uses the 1st overall pick on an untested 18-year old has gotta' mean business, as in, the business of winning an NBA championship.
In retrospect, it looks like the business Cavaliers' owner Dan Gilbert had in mind was less about building a champion and more about milking all he could from publicity generated by the most touted NBA rookie since Patrick Ewing.
Because the younger fan is less demanding in the expectation department and winning that elusive NBA title is quite costly, selling celebrity is the preferred choice of owners, marketers and those who would do their bidding (media).
Just take a gander back at Cleveland rosters from 2003 – 2010. It's a wonder they ever made it to a Finals at all during James' tenure in the Forest City ('07 Spurs). Best explanation: Cavs lone appearance in an NBA Finals was a testament to team-play, good coaching, an unexceptional East and LeBron James' strong back.
While Dan's goals for his prized player seemed unambitious, the rest of America has had nothing but great expectations of LJ from the get-go, including a title or two.
Great Expectations: It's a famous work by Charles Dickens (1860). I've seen the David Lean movie ('46) but never cracked the book. By the time I'd become a human being, educators were passing on the classics. In short, it's a tortuous story of an orphaned boy ("Pip") and his rise to a class of "great expectations" with help from a secret benefactor.
But besides being crowned 'Most Very Popular' player thrice, two forgettable Finals and making lots 'o loot, LeBron's been more expectation than great. "Clutch Cargo" he ain't.
James isn't alone.
The hype-hero is a frequent player on the public stage.
A select few matched or exceeded their buildup (Gretzky / Jordan / Woods / Magic / Bird).
Some who sipped champagne early never went back for more (Chipper / Ripken / Dale Jr. / Roddick / Daley), while others proved marketing mirages, either total busts (Leaf / Oden / JaMarcus), not as advertised (Mandrich / Bosworth) or perennial winners who were fantasy favorites but never grabbed the brass-ring (Bonds / Marino).
Then there are Kareem & Wilt. Arguably the two best b-ballers in history, maybe the two best athletes ever. But even with armfuls of MVPs, both fell short of great expectations. Alcindor took but one title in Milwaukee ('71) and when back in LA, it was Ervin's magic that put Lakers back on top ('80). And while Wilt is still king of the record-book, he must've rued the day he ever met Bill Russell and his Boston Celtics.
Tony Romo, Mike Vick, Alex Ovechkin, Dwight Howard, Phil Rivers and Matt Ryan's stars still burn but are fading, while stories on the newest hype-heroes like Tim Tebow, Cam Newton, Bryce Harper, Steve Strasburg and Danica Patrick are still being written.
Even when your best days are behind (Woods), the hype-machine can keep chuggin' along. Though, in Tiger's case it's understandable, given how none of today's one-win wonders on the PGA seems interested or capable of ascending to his throne.
Just remember this next time your super-hero falls short of expectations: 1) They don't run the hype-machine or set content at ESPN; and 2) Apart from bowling, bull-riding, golf, etc., team-sport requires a team-effort. "One for all, all for one (Three Musketeers)."
While Gretzky and Jordan exceeded expectations, look at the rosters they occupied: HOF'ers, All-Stars, proven supporting cast and top-notch gurus (Jackson / Sather) filled the bill. Winning a title in the NBA and the like still requires a talented roster, no matter how much your titillated talk-radio meathead would have you think otherwise.
To keep his mythical crown, King James needs a title-ring.
Heat v Lakers was preferred Finals for NBA brass, but then the tres is risky business, Mr. Brown (OKC / G2). In fact, any of the four possible match-ups is a ratings salivator.
Whomever does get there, it ain't gonna' be easy.
Big-hearted Celtics got moxie to burn but age & depth make 'em vulnerable, while high-energy OKC's maturity-level gives ring-laden, re-focused 'Patriots of San Antonio' the decided edge.
"The really big shew (Sullivan)," ain't from Reebok. It's pro basketball's biggest stage, the NBA Finals. A place where substance rules while flash, ego and roster holes get exposed right quick. It's where even old, tattered expectations of greatness can finally be fulfilled and worn with pride, as Dirk "Pip" Nowitzki did in last year's Finale.
If His Majesty and the Heat can channel an inside game and go easy on the three, Mr. James just might complete that royal ensemble fans & marketing mavens across America have long been expecting.

Take garden-fresh vegetables to the table in less than 30 minutes with a speedy stir-fry.
Oyster sauce is a thick, brown sauce made from oysters, salt and starch. If oyster sauce isn't available, you can substitute 1 tablespoon soy sauce for the 2 tablespoons oyster sauce.
This stir-fry has a lean look. The veggies are cooked in fat-free chicken broth so you get lots of flavor and fiber but no fat.
Instead of plain button mushrooms, think a little more exotic for this stir-fry. Try shiitake, cremini or brown mushrooms for a different look.

The Car-GPS-MP3 project is coming along just fine, but a bit slow. The SOLO machine is developing some hardware problems, and the reason is still unknown.
There is a company here in Iceland that's offering 512Kbit/s wirelless connection throughout wider Reykjavik area. I am seriously thinking about getting one of those gadgets to use with the car system. The Ideas of usage are still popping into my mind, since it would be rather silly to use it for Web-surfing while driving..
dmarti suggested a very interesting idea to use the wireless connection. I already have a small GPS logging device in my car, which logs the GPS coordinates at 5sec intervals onto a builtin flash-memory. He suggested that I can use that together with wireless link and MP3 streaming to share music recomendations with drivers that have the same system, and similar driving patterns.
In 10 days, I'm removing the GPS logging device from my car to extract all the information from it and analyze it. More to come later...

Dual light sabers
when did it become so stylish for characters to wield 2 light sabers? Until Anakin did it in Ep2 had never occured in the movies, unless you count Maul and his double bladed saber. Don't recall mention of this in any of the books i've read, although i haven't read any of NJO. Seems to be more the domain of the comics and moreso recently.

Unconsciousness is when a person is unable to respond to people and activities. Doctors often call this a coma or being in a comatose state.
Other changes in awareness can occur without becoming unconscious. These are called altered mental status or changed mental status. They include sudden confusion, disorientation, or stupor.
Unconsciousness or any other sudden change in mental status must be treated as a medical emergency.
Loss of consciousness - first aid; Coma - first aid; Mental status change; Altered mental status
Unconsciousness can be caused by nearly any major illness or injury. It can also be caused by substance (drug) and alcohol use. Choking on an object can result in unconsciousness as well.
Brief unconsciousness (or
Other causes of fainting include straining during a bowel movement (vasovagal syncope), coughing very hard, or breathing very fast (hyperventilating).
The person will be unresponsive (does not respond to activity, touch, sound, or other stimulation).
The following symptoms may occur after a person has been unconscious:
If the person is unconscious from choking, symptoms may include:
Being asleep is not the same as being unconscious. A sleeping person will respond to loud noises or gentle shaking. An unconscious person will not.
If someone is awake but less alert than usual, ask a few simple questions, such as:
If a person is unconscious or has a change in mental status, follow these first aid steps:
If the person is unconscious from choking:
Call 911 if the person is unconscious and:
Call 911 if the person regains consciousness but:
To prevent becoming unconscious or fainting:
If you have a medical condition, such as diabetes, always wear a medical alert necklace or bracelet.

The grassroots Tea Party activists in the party want to defend, and perhaps add to, lower-office gains made in 2010.
Meanwhile, the elite, establishment party forces are more concerned with the fates of two men: US Senator Scott Brown and former governor Mitt Romney.
Since state GOP party chair Jennifer Nassour announced her resignation in September — to spend more time with her growing family, she said — the selection of her replacement has become a proxy battle over that divide.
It appears that the establishment will win. Most party insiders expect that, late this month, the MassGOP committee will elect Robert Maginn, decades-long ally of Romney and big booster of Brown.
This is not a huge surprise. The party will serve as an adjunct to Brown's re-election campaign — just as the Massachusetts Democratic Party will for his opponent. By law, Brown's campaign cannot coordinate with the party, so he understandably wants someone he trusts calling the shots there.
Likewise, Romney wants someone he trusts as the face of the state party, to handle the inevitable inquiries that will come as his presidential campaign gets greater scrutiny.
Supporters of Maginn also argue that helping Brown — and Romney, if he is the presidential nominee — is the best way to help elect Republicans for lower office.
But many rank-and-file party members — and several Tea Party groups and conservative organizations — don't buy that. Plus, they aren't particularly thrilled with Brown, who they feel has abandoned the Tea Partiers who elected him. They are even less keen on Romney.
The skeptics also think that recent history has proven their point. When the state party was led by Romney-installed Darrell Crate — business partner of then–lieutenant governor Kerry Healey's husband — Republicans lost ground in the legislature, and failed to win a single statewide or congressional race.
Things only got worse in the following two years, under former congressman Peter Torkildsen, another establishment figure.
And, although Nassour straddled the two worlds better than her predecessors, the party devoted its attention and resources to Charlie Baker, and the Bay State completely missed out on the national November 2010 Tea Party–fueled Republican gains.
Republicans did manage to double their numbers in the state House of Representatives — which activists put down to their own efforts, not Nassour's.
Tellingly, most of those newly elected state representatives are opposing Maginn. They are backing Frank McNamara, a lawyer and one-time congressional candidate, who is promising to focus on re-electing those lawmakers — and to guide the state party toward more conservative, constitutional principles. (Neither Maginn or McNamara could be reached for comment.)
Baker, Brown, Healey, Torkildsen, and a host of other establishment figures have endorsed Maginn.
McNamara's supporters, who are speaking up on local blogs and community meetings, realize they are the underdogs. But they think that Romney and Brown may have miscalculated not only the passion of the grassroots, but the weakness of their chosen candidate.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The 24-hour birding event held Saturday and Sunday, April 16-17, drew some 25 teams of contestants from preschool-ages to teens. They spotted scores of bird species and raised nearly $1,500 for conservation organizations. Fundraising is a voluntary component of the competition.
The Country Cuckoos, four brothers and a first cousin from Bainbridge, saw or heard 133 species to win the overall competition, checking birding hotspots across the state and overcoming a windy Saturday evening that kept many birds quiet. Member Josiah Austinson found a silver lining in the blustery weather. "It saved us from the mosquitoes," he said smiling.
The reward for competition coordinator Tim Keyes, a Georgia Wildlife Resources Division biologist, is the "increase of new faces every year … (and) the return of repeat teams, which shows they're getting hooked!"
The Youth Birding Contest is aimed at cultivating an interest in wildlife and conservation. Sponsors include The Environmental Resources Network Inc. (TERN), the Audubon Society, the Georgia Ornithological Society and others.
T-shirts worn by birders and team leaders at the banquet and awards ceremony at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center Sunday featured the artwork of Rosemary Kramer of The Rock community in Upson County. The red-breasted nuthatch by Kramer, an eighth-grader at Upson Lee Middle School, proved the grand-prize winner in the event's T-shirt Contest.
Coordinator Linda May said judges chose four division winners from among 166 drawings and paintings of native Georgia birds. Kramer's entry led the middle school category. "I'm so excited to see all of these kids enjoying birds, whether it's through birdwatching or creating artwork," May said. "They're gaining a much better understanding and appreciation of nature than I had at that age."
The 2012 Youth Birding Competition is set for April 27-28. The annual competition and art contest are free. This year's bird-a-thon started at 5 p.m. Saturday and ended at 5 p.m. Sunday. Groups used as much as of that time as they wanted to count bird species throughout the state. But teams had to arrive at the "finish line" at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center near Mansfield by 5 p.m. Sunday.
Overall and high school division – Country Cuckoos (133 species)
Middle – Chaotic Kestrels (116)
Elementary – Eagle Maniacs (94 species)
Primary – Little Chickadees (38 species)
1. Birding Brothers, raising $516.
2. Country Cuckoos ($360)
3. Atlanta Wood Thrushes ($200)
The money goes to conservation groups chosen by the teams.
Top Rookie Teams (first-year teams)
High school – G'Nats 1 (90 species)
Primary – Daisy Ducks 1/prime time (37 species)
Birding Journal
High school – Anna Hamilton
Middle – Emmilyn Wade
Elementary – Madeline Studebaker
Primary – Dalton Gibbs
1. Primary division (out of 54 entries): Jordan Beam of Newborn, second-grader at Piedmont Academy (barn owl drawing)
2. Elementary school division (89 entries): Hanka Kirby of Cumming, fifth-grader at Chattahoochee Elementary (cardinal drawing)
3. Middle school division (19 entries): Rosemary Kramer of The Rock, eighth-grader at Upson Lee Middle School (red-breasted nuthatch painting). Kramer also was the grand-prize winner.
4. High school division (four entries): Taylor Green of Covington, 12th-grade homeschooler (white-eyed vireo painting)
Art contest division winners received $50 gift cards to Michael's. The grand-prize winner received a $100 gift card to Michael's and their artwork was used for the 2011 Youth Birding Competition T-shirt.

text: Bemis Manufacturing is a finalist for the 2011 PN Processor of the Year. Bemis, in Sheboygan Falls, Wis., has earned a reputation as a pioneering technological leader especially in coinjection molding and its use of six-axis robots. And your head certainly does spin after a plant tour: On nearly all presses, a large, articulating-arm ABB robot removes parts from molds and does finishing operations such as degating, trimming and sanding. In many cases, that robot passes the part on to another six-axis robot for assembly right at the press, or part stacking. The company is known for large parts. Running a massive, 6,600-ton Milacron will generate that kind of attention: What is believed to be the worlds largest coinjection molding press turns out hoods for John Deere farm tractors and other big parts.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Baby Tarpon
Hey Juro,
When's the tarpon clave? when I win the lottery!
Most tarpon I came across in the islands were in the 30 - 50 lb range, with the 75 pounders being near the upper end of the size range. I'm not sure why larger fish were absent/rare. Nonetheless, my statement on the fight getting old was based on the tarpon up to 50 lbs I landed, and those few larger fish I didn't. I agree that a mistake made while fighting a tarpon (of any size) will likely result in a fish lost. Tarpon are a blast.
Based on my experience with the smaller fish, other than the thrill that comes with landing one's first large tarpon, I'd rather cast to and catch numerous smaller fish than duke it out with a single deepwater tarpon. A friend told me a story about a guy who hooked a large tarpon and fought it for 6 hours before landing it. No thanks.
Hey, all things being equal, I'd rather catch blues than stripers - more bang for the buck, imo.
RE:Baby Tarpon
Bigcat, Aaron, Rafa - you guys have me dreamin' too. So when's the tarpon clave?
RE:Baby Tarpon
Then you woke up from your dream.I mean no offense but like you said the fight gets old, if you never landed one
how can you comment on that? If it was that easy every
flats boat in the Keys would have fishermen with bent rods.
A baby tarpon on a 8 or 9wt rod will give you all you can handle and if you mess up you will lose the fish in a heart beat.
Silver Kings Rule.
RE:Baby Tarpon
Wholehearted agreement here, Juro. For me, the fun is in the presentation of the fly, the hookup, and the wild leaps and runs of the fish. The tug-of-war that can occur, even with the 50 pounders, can get old. I've hooked into tarpon of 75 lbs or so, and although all were lost, the fight had gotten old once the fish started to sulk in deeper water. Plus, there were all of those other tarpon rolling and splashing through the bait right next to me!
I've spoken with a number of long-time tarpon anglers who love casting to and hooking giant tarpon, but then intentionally break off the fish after 5-10 minutes, after all the acrobatics are over and the deep water tug-of-war begins.
As the rain falls through the almost-freezing air, backed by a slate gray sky, and the long cloak of winter settles over New England, I can almost hear the tarpon expelling air from their bladders as they roll through the clear lagoon waters. I can feel my arm swing into motion as I cast a deceiver into the midst of schooling baitfish, each one trying to best the others for a spot atop the school and farthest from the gape of the feeding tarpon. I can see the fly land softly among the baitfish, and see it batted about in the chaos, then drift slowly below the school... a twitch, and then tension; a hookset, and then pure energy as the tarpon feels the bite of the hook point and vaults skyward, again and again. Line peels off the screaming reel...
Damn, winter blues.
Baby Tarpon
Call me a wuss but smaller tarpon, 50 lb and under, always appealed more to me than the 100 lb'ers. Since my passion for the sport was built upon steelhead and salmon, then the flame fanned on northeastern species like mondo stripers, blues and tuna... I like an intense fight but I don't want to wrestle a single fish for an hour.
Of course I'd have to try for the monsters at least once, and who knows my tune may change if I always got to chase tarpon, but from my northern clime perspective smaller tarpon seem to be just right for me.
Any opinions?

text: I have a black lab male that will be two years old this coming January. After a few people in the area have seen him hunt they are dying to have him breed their females. My concern is I am possibly wanting a pup out of my dog and I want to know if the number of times I stud him out will affect the quality of pups he throws. For instance I don't want to breed to bitch A first if I want a pup from bitch B if he will throw a better seed to bitch A since she was bred first. And this dog has never bred a female before. Thanks in advance for the input.

Yes, it is an excellent series. One of the more interesting facts was how the National Highways were created.
Eisenhower was so impressed with the highway system in Germany during the war that when he became President he designed the current major highway system currently in use along with numbering system. Honestly, until now I thought most of it developed somewhat randomly, but it was actually a carefully designed system. Thanks Ike!
I will probably buy the series when it comes out, to go along with my blu-ray copy of "America The Story of Us".

'Tis the season of surprise pregnancies. First Keisha Castle-Hughes. Then Knocked Up. Then Juno, and Bella. Then there was the blessed-event bulletin from train-wreck-in-training Jamie-Lynn Spears. It was only a matter of time before wholesome teen idol Hannah Montana herself, Miley Cyrus, was rumored to be pregnant. (A number of Facebook groups are devoted to the debate. Cyrus denies being with child.)
Us Weekly, meet the CDC: for the first time since 1991, according to Center for Disease Control statistics, teen pregnancy is on the rise. In the United States, approximately 750,000 girls between the ages of 15 and 19 become pregnant every year. Eighty-two percent of these pregnancies are unplanned; 29 percent result in abortion. Massachusetts, for its part, has the third-lowest teen birth-rate of any state. Meanwhile, here, 43 percent of teen pregnancies are aborted.
It's not shocking that these numbers don't specifically address college students. Traditionally, public-health stats focus on the plights of high-risk, underprivileged, uneducated women. But this is changing. Currently in committee, the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Pregnant and Parenting Student Services Act of 2007 would establish a pilot program that, through grants, would encourage eligible higher-education institutions to operate pregnant and parenting student-services offices for affected co-eds.
Meanwhile, the price of birth control continues to spike. According to the American College Health Association, about 38 percent of female college students use oral contraceptives. But discounted birth-control pills that once cost between $5 and $10 are now going for as much as $50. Why? As Slate recently reported, when lawmakers passed the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, they overlooked college health centers on a list of providers eligible for pharmaceutical discounts. And, sadly, there's no such thing as a morning-after pill when it comes to political screw-ups.
So with pregnancy coming to the mainstream, I decided to do a little sleuthing. Surely some women on college campuses who do get pregnant, whether they planned to or not, might actually want to keep their babies. What happens on the leafy campuses of Boston's elite institutions of higher learning? Does Patagonia make maternity wear?
My first stop, just for some perspective, was Boston College. As a Jesuit school, the Eagles push for family values. At BC, pro is used more often in the context of football; choice, not so much. Of course, this cooks up its own issues: as the BC student newspaper The Heights reported this past spring, the Women's Health Initiative, a group of pro-choice campus activists, met secretly, off-campus, to escape administration scrutiny. The group is gaining momentum, but they're still a vocal minority at conservative BC.
Sean Mascali, a senior at Harvard, is currently the head of Students for Life, an on-campus advocacy group that liaises with WHI. "BC has a hard time doing things. They're not able to get money to buy condoms; there's a lot of problems. The type of school that you attend has a lot to do with the type of resources you have."
At Harvard, says Mascali, "Students know they're very lucky to have resources in the surrounding area, where if you do have an issue, there are places you can go to for unbiased advice. And depending on what decision you might reach, you do have options." (It should be noted that undergraduate and graduate students at Harvard pay a mandatory student-health-services fee, which is used to provide funding for elective student abortions. However, students who object to abortions on moral grounds receive a refund of a portion of the fee.)

Cryptosporidium species is an important enteric parasitic pathogen in the United States (US), causing an estimated 300,000 infections per year. Leading sources of Cryptosporidium infection include direct contact with an infected person or animal, ingestion of water or food contaminated by human or animal feces, and travel to highly-endemic areas.
Cryptosporidium is resistant to current methods of water purification. In the US, it is the most frequently recognized cause of reported recreational water associated outbreaks, particularly in disinfected venues, and is a recognized cause of drinking water associated outbreaks. Outbreaks in child care settings are also commonly reported.
Acute illness, usually gastroenteritis including watery diarrhea, occurs after an incubation period of 1 to 12 days. Symptoms in immunocompetent persons usually last 1 to 2 weeks. Infected persons who are immunodeficient, including those with HIV, may develop chronic, fulminant disease. Chronic intestinal cryptosporidiosis is an AIDS defining condition. Asymptomatic infections in people and animals are a frequent source of Cryptosporidium transmission.
Washing hands is the most effective means of preventing cryptosporidiosis. To avoid becoming infected, follow these precautions:
For people with weakened immune systems, sex, including oral sex, that involves possible contact with stool should be avoided. Immunocompromised individuals should also avoid the stool of all animals and wash their hands thoroughly after any contact with animals or the living areas of animals. Immunocompromised persons may also wish to wash, peel, or cook all vegetables and to take extra measures, such as boiling or filtering their drinking water, to ensure its safety.

Call For Action: Drivers on the hook for pothole troubles
Beloit resident wants reimbursement for damage
BELOIT, Wis. - Wisconsin drivers will no longer be reimbursed for pothole repairs because of a new Wisconsin law protecting cities and counties from liability.
Beloit resident Mike Nemetz contacted Call For Action to see if his hometown was responsible for reimbursing him the $150 he needed to replace a tire flattened by a pothole. Due to a state statute that went into effect last year, he can file a claim with the city, but it is not obligated to compensate him for his loss.
"You know if I did $150 damage to city property, say I bounced up onto the curb and took out one of their signs, I'd be liable for that, so why aren't they held liable for the damage they did to my vehicle," Nemetz said in regard to the incident that took place on Shore Drive late last month. His reimbursement claim was officially denied last week by the city.
The accident took place on a Saturday and Nemetz said Beloit Public Works fixed the potholes first thing on Monday morning.
"They've done a good job coming out here patching things up," he said. However, he's still out his $150 for a new tire.
The new law, passed in the 2011 legislative session before going into effect last year, closed what Wisconsin's cities and counties had called a "loophole" in state law that had existed since 1849 and cost municipalities hundreds of thousands of dollars every decade. Before the passage of Senate Bill 125, cities and counties could be held liable for damages up to $50,000 "by reason of the insufficiency of want of repairs of any highway that any town, city or village is bound to keep in repair."VIDEO: Call For Action: Drivers on the hook for pothole troubles
"If we hear about a pothole, we get it that day or the next work day at the latest," said Beloit Public Works Supervisor Bruce Slagoski. "It's not left out there for long."
Slagoski said the department filled 1,692 potholes in March and 1,739 potholes in February, an average of more than two hundred per work day. April tends to be among the busiest months for pothole repair in the city. While he empathizes with drivers who encounter pot holes on their daily commute, he says the city will refill the holes, if not their wallets.
"They can fill out a claim with the city but state statute says we're not really liable," he said. "Call your insurance company. They'll be able to help you out more than we can."
Nemetz decided to pay for the new tire out of pocket. While Call For Action was not able to get him his money back, he's grateful for the opportunity to warn other Wisconsin drivers.
"I would like everyone to know that cities are saying they're not responsible for your vehicle," he said. "(It's) up to you to make sure you maneuver around the potholes and you don't hit them because the city's not going to pay for (whatever damages you incur)."
If you have a consumer issue you'd like the Call For Action volunteers to help you with, you can speak with someone in person every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. You can also file a complaint any time of the day on our website.

Nationite S:Flo2
Pros: Sound Quality, Line-out SQ, Vol Control is quiet and has excellent feel to it. Plays flac, works great without amp. Dual Wolfson DACs sound so smooth.
Cons: UI is worst I have ever used. Scrolling with finger forever, worst navigation in touch screen history, you grow old before you scroll to the album
I feel badly writing a negative review because I am the kind of person who tends to be grateful for the positives, and lets the negatives slide, but...I wish someone had spoken up about what a horrible, terrible job the S:Flo2 guys did on the UI. I am a software designer and programmer and I understand just how difficult it is to work with some interfaces and you have to do the best you can with what you've got, but the final product for the S:Flo should never had gotten out the door. It is NOT ready for prime time.
I would need to write several hundred words to really convey to you just what a really bad interface it is and just how frustrating it is to work with.
Make a mistake while scrolling or selecting a song and you are penalized by being sent back to the menu and having to start from position 1 again in you're quest to scroll down a couple hundred songs, 7 to a screen a time.
Rather than tell you and make you read all of this let me just sum it up as saying the S:Flo2 is the biggest tragedy in PMP history. The sound quality is just fantastic. I love Wolfson DACs and the twin Wolfsons to the Line-out are really the best SQ for the money I have ever heard. Truly fine, quality sound. But although I have tried, over and over to master the scrolling and navigation, it is helpless. It can never be mastered, only endured.
I feel sorry for Raz at MP4Nation.net. He appears to be a really nice guy and he stood behind his offer and delivered all the extras and did his best to get a good product but in the end, it will never be a giant killer with the interface it has.
And when I look on the forums to see if new firmware is out, it has been very quiet there, and no announcements since June or July on firmware updates.
So in the end, it was an inexpensive venture into very good SQ with a very poor interface for me.
