This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Potassium hydroxide
Note: This list may not be all inclusive.
Symptoms from swallowing potassium hydroxide include:
Symptoms from getting potassium hydroxide on the skin or in the eyes include:
Seek immediate medical help. DO NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Determine the following information:
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. The patient may receive:
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body. Damage continues to occur to the esophagus and stomach for several weeks after the potassium hydroxide was swallowed, and death may occur as long as a month later.

The stable credit market conditions that have enabled this year's junk bond boom remain in place, but that confidence-inspiring low default rate might merit some closer monitoring.
Moody's said its trailing 12-month U.S. speculative-grade default rate rose to 3.5% at the end of the third quarter, up from 3.2% in the previous quarter. That's still below its historical average but off the sub-2% lows seen just over a year ago. One year ago at this point the U.S. default rate stood at 2.0%.
Globally, the default rate among speculative-grade companies edged higher to 3.0% in the third quarter from 2.9% in the second quarter and 1.8% a year ago, again all still below the historical average since 1983 of 4.8%. In Europe the rate fell to 2.6% in the third quarter from 2.8% in the second quarter and 1.4% a year ago.
Even with the recent uptick, Moody's sees the default rate stabilizing in the U.S. and starting to recede again in Europe. "Despite some very weak economic fundamentals, Moody's forecasting model projects the global speculative-grade default rate to remain low at 3.0% by the end of this year before declining to 2.9% by the end of the third quarter 2013," Moody's says in its latest default report. Regionally, Moody's expects the default rate to end this year at 3.5% in the US while sliding to 2.4% in Europe.
Across industries over the coming year, Moody's expects default rates to be highest in the Media: Advertising, Printing & Publishing sector in the US and the Hotel, Gaming, & Leisure sector in Europe.
Moody's distressed index, which measures the percentage of high yield issuers with debt trading at distressed levels and is considered a leading indicator of defaults, dipped to 17.0% at the end of the third quarter. The index stood at 19.5% in the previous quarter and 24.6% a year ago.
In the leveraged loan market, the U.S. default rate ended the third quarter at 2.6%, up from 2.4% in the second quarter and 1.2% a year ago.
The trailing 12-month Global speculative-grade default rate finished the third quarter of 2012 at
3.0%, up slightly from 2.9% in the second quarter. A year ago, the default rate stood at 1.8%.
In the U.S., the speculative-grade default rate ended the third quarter at 3.5%, up from 3.2%
in the previous quarter. A year ago, the U.S. default rate was 2.0%.
Based on its forecasting model, Moody's expects the Global speculative-grade default rate
to end this year at 3.0%, before declining to 2.9% by the end of the third quarter 2013. Both rates, if
realized, will be well below the historical average of 4.8% since 1983. Moody's further expects the rate
to be 3.5% by year's end in the U.S.

A curious form of renewable-energy generation may be on the horizon—or rather beneath the horizon: underwater turbines. These units harness the power of tidally driven currents, which flow back and forth like clockwork, making it possible to generate electricity on a predictable schedule. In this respect, underwater turbines are more attractive than their wind-driven counterparts, which are now employed widely to help power electric grids. Underwater structures are also less prone to damage from violent storms, which, as any submariner will attest, have little effect on submerged objects. And using underwater turbines sidesteps the common objections to conventional hydropower—that damming a river stops migrating fish and inundates land upstream.
Underwater turbines have long been used on a small scale (for example, to power irrigation pumps on a river). Now this technique is undergoing a renaissance, with proponents hoping soon to construct large systems that produce megawatts of electric power. Alexander Gorlov, a mechanical engineer at Northeastern University in Boston, is pushing a design with three blades that corkscrew around a vertical axis. This is a variation on the so-called Darrieus turbine, which the wind-power industry tried and then largely abandoned. Gorlov's helical configuration avoids a problem that arises with many Darrieus turbines: asymmetric loading forces, which stress the supporting structure and lead to unwanted pulsations in the output of the generator. Gorlov and GCK Technology, the Texas company he is working with, have produced relatively small turbines (a meter or so in diameter); scaling up is merely a matter of linking many of them together. The South Korean government, for example, is now testing Gorlov's helical turbine, with plans to install a series of them in Uldolmok Strait, a waterway near the south end of the Korean peninsula, where currents reach 12 knots.
Another project to harness the tides is under way off the coast of Norway, near Hammerfest. In choosing a design, the Norwegians were heavily influenced by the wind-power industry. Per Egil Skåre, a hydrodynamicist at SINTEF, a Norwegian contract research institute, has been involved in the planning for this project. He notes that almost every wind turbine now in use has three blades spinning around a horizontal shaft, adding, "We hope that the experience they have is also valid under water." Skåre anticipates that the 20-meter–diameter prototype soon to be installed will operate at about 40 percent efficiency, beating the 35 percent figure available from Gorlov's helical design.
A similar project is under way in the United Kingdom, where Marine Current Turbines, Ltd., will be installing an undersea turbine. Unlike the Norwegian unit, the British one will be mounted to a pile set permanently into the seabed and reaching all the way up to the surface. This, and some clever engineering, allows for servicing by raising the generator up the pile.
Yet another type of underwater generator, dubbed "Stingray," is also being developed in the United Kingdom, this one by The Engineering Business, Ltd., a company involved in various offshore construction activities. The physical configuration of Stingray is dramatically different from that of the other underwater generators in the works. Rather than having a rotating turbine, Stingray sports a horizontal wing. Alternating the angle of attack allows the prevailing current to drive the wing up and down, which forces hydraulic fluid through a small internal turbine, which in turn generates electricity. Toby Bailey of The Engineering Business says that they adopted this curious geometry for their unit because they wanted to avoid the need for an underwater gearbox, which would otherwise be needed to connect a slowly spinning rotor to an electric generator. He explains further that their approach allowed them to design a unit that they could easily scale up by extending the length of the wing. (Underwater rotor blades run into problems as they become larger and the tip speed increases.)
Other schemes for tidal-current power generation are also being pursued. Presumably, the company that develops the first commercially successful unit will gain a significant edge on its competitors. So the innovative engineers at these companies must indeed be hurrying to refine a winning design, recalling, as another great inventor once said, that "time and tide wait for no man."—David Schneider

|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
It's funny how "deep thoughts" always come up during funny fish season...
I am guilty of being a sporadic poster on this board, but it is far from deliberate. I have been working way too much, I have missed every clave (I knew it was a bad omen when i had to bail on the Bass River season opener at the last minute), and I have been fishing mostly around Boston, which has pretty much not been worth posting about for most of June and July. It's tough to go into epic detail about a couple of schoolies off of deer island when you guys are burning drags off the south end of Monomoy.
So it's not always a matter of give and take, 'cause all I've been taking lately is that I have been missing some really good fishing on the Cape while i have been stuck up here... although I understand your point completely. Look at R-T, 100 reads on a message and one reply. There is no exchange.
I AM little guarded about being overly specific on locations, because i recall several spots went down to tubes curtesy of R-T, and this was several years ago before it as a site went down the tubes as well.
So you give when you can in whatever manner you can--sometimes it's where the fish are, sometimes it's a good fly recepie or a knot or a product review. I'm happy to post the haba reports, although with no tunoids up here they won't get too much attention. For a "small" fishing community, there is still a ton of water out there--I fish every weekend and have yet to even meet half of you on the water...which i guess leads me to another thought-- a lot of people who post regularly here all know each other, which doesn't always make it easy for fresh faces to chime in...
This is a great site, and it's not going away any time soon, so don't be concerned about the lack of posts. I wish i had more to post---maybe after this weekend:
I go to join the tunoid madness this saturday, albiet as far from the maddening crowd as possible, in an 18' parker w/ black bottom, give a wave if you see me sliding by...
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Nat, you beat me to the punch - I was thinking about posting a similar idea re: lurkers & lack of contribution.
For those that lurk, I think on this board especially, any and all questions or comments are welcome and addressed in the most diplomatic manner.
I met Juro last year (it seems like YEARS ago), on Monomoy, on a RT clave and didn't know he was a guide. I was impressed by his knowledge and willingness to share information & teach. A trait I greatly admire which I first encountered with my friend who got me into wingshooting years & years ago.
Now that I have a little knowledge of how & where to fly fish the salt, I try to emulate those that have helped me and share my cursory knowledge with those who can use it or express an interest.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that we are the stewards of the future of this beautiful sport and the survival of our game. It is up to us to help others appreciate it in the most non-invasive manner possible.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I agree w/Terry. Juro puts a great deal of time and effort into this thing. He answers posts personally whenever he can and doesn't ask for much back. I only post when I think I can add something constructive but would love to contribute more. If only I could find the time to fish.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I would as well, Jeff Roop brought the same subject matter up at my place where we gathered after the Friday Rip trip. I am sure we could muster that kind of support.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I have to add, since I see no advertising on this board, I assume there is no revenue. If that's the case (please correct me if I'm wrong) this thing has to eventually get payed for by other means (someones pocket). There's probably a way to get sponsorship, but if it comes down to keeping this thing going, let me be the first to say I would gladly pitch in a few bucks if the hat were passed in some way. This board is much more than just another fishing website to me.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
You did not make me feel bad and I agree with you absolutly on those two points. Juro has done the job and does need the type of support you stated. Thanks.
|Nathan Smith
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Man, I didn't mean to make everyone feel bad. I just want to vent about a few issues. That post was about three things
1. 99% of people are great. You don't always need to post. I was calling out the 1% that use this and other boards to get information but are never willing to share their knowledge. Particulary some guides that seem to show up with parties right after we have a successful clave, yet are never willing to share there knowledge. I am not expection them to share all the specifics but they should throw some bones.
2. I just wanted to see more posts on the board in general. Juro's put alot of work into this site and the best way to give back is by posting.
|steve moore
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I'll chime in here too. I have to admit that I don't check this site as regularly as I should given the amount of talent that seems to hang out here. Josko's comment about guides posting only for free commercials is one of the reasons I don't post too often on where I'm finding fish. I don't want to be known for that, and I also don't want to be lumped in with the others who do. If I feel I can contribute constructively to something, I usually will. I have however found that I am biting my tongue a lot more this season than in years past, and I can't really give an explaination for why. Maybe I am enjoying just sitting back and watching the action. I don't log on to any of the sites with the expectaion that I will see a post and run out and successfully fish the areas mentioned. I think if you rely on posts to figure out your next move, you'll be sorely disappointed. I look at these bulletin boards as a general guide when it comes to fishing spots or action. We all know that just because someone caught X-number of bass in location Z on night Y with the tide at stage P and using lure K with retreive D, that doesn't mean much 24 or even 3 hours later. What it can tell you is that maybe the fish have begun to move to certain geographical areas (like The Harbor) or that a change of technique is needed. If you need a good solvent to remove glue from your deck, which knots folks like to use, or want to know where others have found a particular product, I think the information on these bulletin boards can be very useful. Sometimes it's just plain fun to tell other about a wonderful day on the water with lots of big fish, but I just haven't found it be as personally satisfying lately to spill my guts. I hope that I haven't offended anyone (another reason I don't post very often) and that everyone knows my
e-mailbox is always open.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Great thread Nathan! I posted some other thoughts under a different heading.
On the hits without the posts... I am one of those people who tends to visit this and other sites regularly. I rarely post. One reason for my 'lurking' is that I have been so damn busy this summer I have not done a lot of fishing. So, on that front I rarely can contribute. Also, it does take time to write a meaningful post, and I'm not one for posting just for posting's sake. To a certain extent I am doing my 'fishing' this year via the posted reports, which is a pisser. Earlier this year I got a login name and password for this and other sites, with the full intention of contributing, but it hasn't happened. Maybe next year.
I know that Juro has some great and grand ideas for this site, and in time most will probably bear fruit. Considering some of the crap that permeates some other sites (e.g.,6 posts in a row saying 'cool' or 'awesome' but nothing else, and even personal attacks), I like this site because the crap is minimal. That is a quality that will contribute to the site's longevity. Remember, this is a relatively new site, so will mature in time.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I think in the end it's how we decide to conduct ourselves that counts, and also how we look at the great sport of flyfishing. We're probably never going to change the butthead mentality through brute force, but we can by attrition. It's kind of like driving - it only takes one ####### to ruin the whole 4-way intersection. If everyone shows consideration, the concept of four diametrically opposed stop signs works just fine. If we work to create and preserve a great community of sportsmen who respect each other, the environment and the gamefish - it's contagious! I think our conclaves prove that to be true.
Wow, it's been a great season and I really look forward to the part that follows the current August slump! Can you imagine the fishing's going to get much, much BETTER???
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I am not sure if I understand this message and it appears to be a few issues within one message. But I recognized the fact that I mentioned "spots" at the lighthouse. My sole purpose in doing so was to share it with the people I have met in person thought this board. I met Juro years ago at the Lighthouse in Chatham and did not even know about the board until Keith Lincoln said I counld connect with Juro about the South Monomoy trips. I was never tremendously concerned about the general public reading those messages since you really needed to know where to go at the light house plus the fact that even if you are in the spots you have to know how to fish them anyway and they do change from day to day. It was just that there were a few places ,as there always have been at the lighthouse which seem to produce more fish in a given year. So... one of the crew from this board I knew came down and met me and we were in the "spot" and nothing please me more than seeing him hook and land his first keeper after losing one a few minutes earlier. Incidently ,there was never a hugh group of people who showed up after the posts. My only point is that My purpose is to share information with those I have met personally though the board and could care less if someone else decides to show up at these spots ,which I do agree, usually tend to be overrated and are constantly changing. Just my two cents worth. I think it is a great group of true flyfisherman and if bait fisherman shows up so what. One final thing, Thoughout my fishing life, I have caught and released more and bigger fish on a flyrod than I ever have on any other method. We all know that.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Hey Josko,
I'm sorry your feeling bad about last year. Neither Mike or I have got a clue what you are talking about. We are pretty easy going guys believing that's the best way to get the most enjoyment out of life. So whatever it was don't give it another moment's thought.
My brother and I (especially my brother) have been dreaming about getting a "big" boat and looking for big tunoids. Until the business takes off that's just going to have to wait though. We would be honored to scrub the boat, untangle lines, bring beverages and food, or whatever just for the oportunity to watch and see it done first hand. So if you ever need a couple of hard working deck hands eager to learn drop us a line because we are your guys.
|Nathan Smith
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
Good points. I wrote that post about a particular group that has actually made arangment to "take over" a spot that memebers on the board discovered or rediscovered. Yes it is frustrating to see al those people. I would just like to see us working together more often, and being more respectful to each other.
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
That's really too bad about the upper cape... your area is such a unique zone nestled in the warm side of the transition between the north atlantic and the temperate mid-atlantic, buffered by Nantucket Sound and then made into a summer species mixing pot by the Vineyard, Elizabeths and Buzzards Bay. I've even seen puffers at Falmouth, and all kinds of subtropical looking fish and fauna at Woods Hole. Your home waters are clearly the tunoid zone extraordinaire which is probably why the boat operators are so damn ridiculous this time of year.
I've been reading about Terry Nugent's adventures with MikeZ at Lackeys and wondering if the Boneclave should be held elsewhere...
BTW - are you around September 10-12? (The clave would be honored to host a guest appearance by the venerable Josko!)
DOH! I just read the above threads thoroughly!
Great to hear you wouldn't mind driving for a day! Much thanks in advance.
As far as your site contributions, I see your point about posting in one place - but I can tell you we all appreciate your input on this board. I hope it's like another fly shop that you visit once in a while besides the mega-tackle shops where you shop. You're always very welcome here and I know you'll like the guys that hang out here.
I think this site is different in that it's really dedicated to flyfishing except where it comes to a shore lunch of fluke and even then we get a lot on flies
Seriously, your adventures in bluewater are thrilling to read, and any insights you post are appreciated here without any chance of generating spite for a skunking in a spot you describe - not from this group.
I am not saying one's better or worse, just that we are more of a sportsman's club (non-exclusive) as opposed to a town meeting. People are expected to be gentlemen (and ladies) here and get involved because they like being able to get together at this level. No where is this more evident than at our conclaves, which usually go beyond our highest expectations for camaraderie and friendship building.
We sure aren't as big as Jeff's or as old as Reel-time but being a member of all three I can say that we really know how to get together and have a great time in the Forum... not to mention score some great fish!
Great to hear from you again, and I really look forward to getting out on the water with you soon.
best regards,
RE:4 keeper in 2 hours and no one around
I don't mind driving for a day. Still embarrassed about skunking the Estey brothers last year, though. BTW, if you're interested in heading ofshore, drop me or Larry an email. Tomorrow, anyone? Slowly, but surely we're making sense of the bluefin turf. You haven't seen closed-mouthed until you've tried to talk to those guys...
And another thing. Guiding on upper cape has become a down-n-dirty cutthroat business. i\I wouldn't trust most of those 'gennelmen' not to steal my boat blind, much less expect them to post helpful stuff, or anything other than infomercials ... 'C'mon down, I got space for a few more...' Don't know how to get rid of them - probably can't as long as fishing stays as good as it is.

The "Ten Commandments" are a solid guideline.Yes, I would agree with Marvin. I remember the photo of your lovely bride on RTF and if she is not a woman, she certainly has ME fooled!
I need a little help though with the poor morals thing. I have been confused about that for most of my life.
I was born and baptized a Methodist and accepted the things I learned in Sunday School ... God is Love rings a bell.
Then I spent most of my childhood in an assortment of boys homes and foster homes. The first family were strong in the Church of the Nazarene; strict fundamentalists. Church twice on Sunday, Wednesday night and prayer meetings the rest of the nights. With them I learned that poor morals included smoking, dancing, girls wearing lipstick, and movies. Some other stuff too, I forgot.
Next stop was a boys home run by the Quakers. Pretty strict religious teachings again, uppermost was that war is evil and a true man of God will be a conscientious objector and refuse to serve his country in war.
Then was a family of Lutherans which seemed pretty mainstream. I went through the Confirmation classes and learned all the quotes and things to say in church. Not much shocking there.
By the time I reached adulthood, I considered myself a spiritual person and thought I knew what it meant to be a good person but had pretty much tuned out of organized religion.
Married a Catholic (woman) 34 tears ago and though I have never converted ... something about having been previously married ... I do go to church somewhat regularly with her. I find the Catholics to actually DO the most good toward our fellow man of the religions I have been exposed to. They say it is immoral to use any form of birth control and the abortion issue is a priority that overrides most everything else. Not sure where they stand on molesting little boys but IMO action speaks louder than words.
And while were at it, I may as well offend the Mormons. Though most of them claim to have changed their position, there was a long time when it was fine to have a nice binder of wives!
Now why am I confused??? All these folks are reading out of the same bible, right? So while I agree with you that morals are morals, how in hell am I to decide which ones are poor morals.
This is a serious question.
Serious answer.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
We probably have another 2 to 3 weeks of great action, so ya'll come on up!
I'll trade a pike trip anytime for a Florida or Chatham rip trip!
Funny how the grass seems greener...
Is there something wrong with me?
I may possibly be moving to the Keys to work in the boating and fishing industry, where I'd be out on the water fishing (as my job) most days of the week, but I'd rather move back up North (probably to Canada) to fish pike, walleye, and trout. Should I go and have my head checked? I miss pickerel and pike! Of course, reports such as yours (FrenchCreek) just make it worse. Just a minute... maybe I can do some "research" up North for a few weeks each year...
Great report! I am soooooooo jealous! We have a lot of pickerel in my area but not enough big pike to even think about having a day like that. I get such a kick out of the way pickerel charge a fly or lure and attack it repeatedly, even as you lift it out of the water. I can only imagine what it would be like to have that kind of action with big pike. Just to see that big push of water when they first start to move . . .
Piker Day - Part 2
It was a Friday to remember, got to the lake at about 3 PM and fished till about 7 PM with my buddy Jean. Caught and released over 50 fish each, about 1/2 of them in the 12 to 15 Lb range.
Tried every fly swap fly and caught at least one fish on each fly. Saturday was slower but we still managed to hook & release well over 50 fish between us in about 5 hours fishing. Several were "pounders" as we call them, anything over 15 lbs. qulaifies because they just pound the heck out of your rod and your arm.
One fish came in at 19 1/2 Lbs., a real thrill and beautifull (if you can call them toothy critters beauties). Got to get back there tomorrow or Tuesday for a few more days.
Roop, I sure hope that little mouse is worth it! because you are missing out on one of the best springs we have had for sevrela years. Many lakes are reporting great fishing with many "pounders" some in the 18 to 20 lbs.

text: Still fly alot, but not because I enjoy it. Honestly, the amateurs are the ones that make the security lines painful. Some airports have "expert traveler" lines stocked with frequent flyers and I can normally cruise through one pretty quickly...but they are become more rare. My ability to "profile" frequent versus infrequent travelers helps me, but even that backfires on me sometimes.

Fall farmers' market scheduled for Sept. 16-Oct. 21
Posted August 29, 2008; 11:39 a.m.
The Princeton campus farmers' market at Firestone Plaza will return this fall for six weeks, open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays from Sept. 16 through Oct. 21.
Members of the University and local communities will have an opportunity to purchase fresh locally grown produce and other goods from area farmers and businesses that use sustainable practices. Items expected to be available include organic fruits and vegetables, grass-fed beef and lamb, free-range poultry and eggs, cheeses, breads, baked goods, ice cream and coffee.
The farmers' market was launched last year and runs in the fall and spring. It is an initiative of Greening Princeton, a student organization devoted to improving environmental sustainability, and is staffed by volunteers from the group. It is cosponsored by the Department of Dining Services, the Office of Community and Regional Affairs, the Princeton Environmental Institute, the Office of Sustainability, the Department of Building Services, the Department of Grounds and Building Maintenance, the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, the Pace Center and the Undergraduate Student Government Projects Board.
For a list of participating vendors and for more information, visit the farmers' market website.

Since he won the first American gold medal of the 2012 Games, America has moved from the courtship phase into the full-on dating phase with Ryan Lochte. We were with Michael Phelps for a while, and we don't wish him ill will or anything, because 2008 was one of the best years of our lives, but we've definitely outgrown each other. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that he didn't even medal in his first competition, so don't even ask, okay? Gawd, you're so insensitive — America is maturing as a person and we don't want to get stuck in the past!
So anyway, with our new relationship with Ryan, it's time for us to do all those new-couple-y things, like meet his parents, and drive around the neighborhood where he grew up…and look at his baby pictures. I can't help you out with his parents or his neighborhood, but we do have access to some pretty prime baby pictures that he posted to his website. And don't worry, I've pre-screened them. Because I think we all know there's nothing worse than starting to like a guy, getting to know him, and then finding out he was an ugly baby. Literally, there is nothing worse than that. It makes you feel like a bad person when you break up with him, but I really can't reconcile myself to having ugly babies, future Olympic swimmers or not. And I think America is the same way, so you'll be glad to know that Ryan was an adorable little baby with an adorable little nose and adorable little flippers. I mean feet. We would all definitely still love him if he weren't an Olympic athlete with a powerfully-proportioned body, so stop thinking what you're thinking and look at some goddamn baby pictures, goddamnit.

|>> Archive: Striper (etc) Flies Tricks of the trade
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Pearl Necklace
Thank you very much Matt. I will try a few the directions seem very clear. Hope to fish with you on one of the claves and talk about albie fishing.
RE:Pearl Necklace
Fishhawk, sorry, I must've missed this post somehow. Here's the recipie for the Pearl Necklace:
I tie it on a standard mustad 34007(i think) in sizes from 2 to 4/0. The 2 seemed to be about the right size for Harker's Island Albies, while the 4/0 managed to attract the attention of a couple of snook down in Costa Rica. I haven't yet fished for stripers with this pattern, but i'm anxious to try it.
Thread: Chart
Eyes: I use deep see eyes mostly.
Body: pearl estatz medium
Tail: pearl flashabou and grey ghost krystal flash
Wing: VERY sparse Chart bucktail over pearl flashabou and a few strands of silver krystal flash. (Note: The original pattern omits the bucktail)
Instructions: Tie on the eyes then wind the thread down the shank to the beginning of the bend. Tie in the flashabou and the krystal flash tail here(I cut it twice as long as i want it and fold it over the thread to prevent it from pulling out). Tie in the end of the estatz and wind the thread forward to in front of the eyes and half hitch. Wind the estatz around the shank forward to just behind the eyes and tie off. Next flip the hook over and tie in the flashabou and the krystal flash, followed by the bucktail, on the gap side of the hook. Depending on the profile you're shooting for you may want to make a couple of wraps behind the materials to make it a sort of 'hi-tie'.
Let me know if anything was unclear.
Pearl Necklace
I would like the recipe for tying the Pearl Necklace. I took notes at the Clave and want to*know whaat side the chartreuse wing goes. I believe its*bacicly a Clouser type fly. Thanks for your help.

The Koka (Koga) Ninja village we visited is nestled in a small valley all its own and was created by Shunichiro Yunoki. It is reported that he was the last surviving Koka practitioner and started the village so that everyone could experience the tradition that his ancestors kept alive. As you leave the parking lot and head to the entrance you get the sensation that you are traveling back to a different era. The 8' wall surrounding the village is made from bamboo and is decorated with various signs. The entrance fee is used to cover the upkeep and repair of the many displays and of the village itself.
After we ask to see Mr. Shunichiro, the person at the front gate leads us down a manicured trail, around a big pond with a rope stretching across, past numerous huts containing the many displays until, finally, we reach the central store area, which also houses a place to sit and eat. Yoshi Jim Haynes acts as translator as we get to sit and meet with Mr. Shunichiro. We explain how we represent Konigun Ryu and asked about Koga Ryu. Mr. Shunichiro tells us how they refer to it as Koka and that he constructed the village as a way to maintain the traditions he learned as a child. He tells us that many come each year to use the facilities of the village to train with each other. We explain how we are meeting with different leaders of the different Ninjutsu Ryu to pay our respects. When we ask about other Ninjutsu Ryu, he said there are no more Iga or Koka except for the ones that came each summer to train. When we ask about Bujinkan he just shakes his head and says that they are not Ninjutsu. At each place we stop, we try to discover other Ninjutsu Ryu that the locals might know of as well as to discover the origins of what is known over here in the states.
After our cup of tea, Mr. Shunichiro calls someone over to show us the village. This man leads us out of the restaurant/store to the authentic Ninja House containing a series of false walls and trap doors which allowed a quick escape. An example of one of trap doors requires a little more in-depth description of the construction of the traditional Japanese kitchen. It is a room located inside the house that centers on a lowered section in the middle of the room which contains the fire pit. They put the whole fire pit on a runner system so that it slides under the surrounding floor exposing the crawl space beneath the house. Japanese houses are built a couple of feet above the ground, leaving plenty of room to move about when needed. As we follow our guide down one hallway he turns a corner and is gone--we were at a dead end. Then another section of wall rotates and exposes his smiling face as he gestures us through a secret hallway that leads into almost every room.
After we leave the Ninja House, we stop at the well at the back of the house and he gets in and disappears from sight. When we investigate further we see a series of handholds that will take us into the bottom of the false well. Once we reach the end of our descent, we find ourselves at the beginning of a long tunnel which comes out across the village behind some bushes. I imagine that during the time of the warring states period of Japanese history such methods of escape were the only way many survived hostile attacks.
The big pond of water that we passed on the way down is used to train villagers and students the various aspects of water walking using the pond walker shoes, buckets, or even tires. Although not deep, you really have to have good balance to be able to stay out of the muddy water. We wind through the bushes, across ridges, and down paths until we come across a balance rope spanning a gully. Being the only path, it must be traversed if you are to head up to the small Buddhist shrine that sits in a peaceful corner. The shrine is obviously maintained with love. Our path leads to two buildings containing all the artifacts of the Koka ninja that have been collected. We saved all our pictures to document the many exhibits we found within the two buildings. Like the Iga Ryu museum, the Koka have collected an impressive array of ancient artifacts. We can see all the manuals and scrolls outlining their different techniques. The authentic weapons and tools that Koka ninja used to practice their trade are on display with explanatory cards written in Hiragana or Kanji. One display shows the shoes they used to walk across marshy areas; in another the picks they used to pick the door latches or crude locks that were used in those days. We can see collapsible grappling hooks, collapsible boats, swords, kubitan, shaken, and every other manner of throwing device imaginable. It is evident from the size of the armor and weapons that the samurai and ninja of yesteryear were much smaller than the current generation.
After our tour of the grounds and the museum we return to Mr. Shunichiro where we express our admiration for the wonderful job he did in creating the village and the museum and all of the hard work it must have taken. After seeing all the scrolls, Yoshi Jim asks about the Ban Sen Sukai and the Nin Pi Den scrolls that Bujinkan claim as their heritage. He explains that these were reprinted in the early '60's and were readily obtainable from any book seller. He even brings us the copy he used to have on sale in his curio store to demonstrate his claim. We thank him for his time and before we leave we discuss the possibility of training with the Koka when they gather in the summers. We leave the Koka having made new friends and continue our journey through southern Honshu in our search for more information on the various Ninjutsu Ryu and their interactions with Konigun.
I must take a moment to state that although 7-Elevens have all but disappeared here in the states because of all the new chains that have cut into their market share, the same cannot be said in Japan. I think that they must be the only American chain of convenience stores over there and are matched in popularity only by McDonald's. It became a game of who would spot it first as they appeared practically on every corner. Southern Honshu is an industrialized area and the road south went through the heart of it. Although we follow the coast road, it is a non-stop stream of buildings. Stores and businesses are only broken up by the occasional hotel. We reach the southern tip of Honshu at night and can see the lights of the bridge stretch south across the channel to the island of Kyushu. The bridge is so tall and high off the ground that I imagine any ship that crosses beneath has more than enough clearance. We follow the signs, get lost, follow some more signs, and finally make it over the bridge and continue on our journey to Fukuoka where we stay the night. We leave with dawn the next day and travel south along one of the super highways that the Japanese have crisscrossing the country. The roads are well maintained. We make good time and are in Kagoshima within a couple of hours. Yoshi Jim asks a curator at the Kagoshima museum about any displays featuring Konigun or Saija. The curator looks at Jim and asks, "Do you mean the ninja?" When Jim says yes, he told Jim of a museum in Satsuma Sendai. We were on our way!
Kyushu is a strange contrast to the main island of Honshu. Because Honshu is so developed, Kyushu feels undeveloped due to the zoning requirements that allow no permanent building along the side or tops of the mountains. Kyushu is mostly mountainous, so this leaves the numerous valleys and coastal regions to support all the population. The only exceptions to this rule go to the buildings created before the law came into effect. Also, you can build up on the mountainside, but the structure has to be torn down once a year and made anew.
We follow the directions of our ever faithful "Tom Tom" which takes us directly to the address of the museum, but we arrive just as it is closing. We head back to town but stop at a temple that we passed on our way out to the museum. Situated on the top of a hill, you get to it by climbing a thousand steps. We climb the steps and at different times get help from each other making it up the long staircase. They say that the stairs are there for you to show the spirits your desire for your prayers' outcomes. By making the long pilgrimage up every step, you are putting your heart and effort into your prayer.
We start early the next morning after having spent the night in a hotel. I never thought I would like seaweed for breakfast, but I started to look forward to it and to the rice that came with the morning meals. We get to the museum and begin our tour beside a shop where an employee is working on a helmet. From there, we follow the pathway to the first building which contains a mock up of a daimyo lord with his samurai retainers. After we leave that building we see a man working with some stone statues and Yoshi Jim explains how we were referred to the museum from Kagoshima and asks if he knows where the exhibits are. The man explains that he put together the museum as a hobby because of his interest in local history. He introduces himself as the owner, Mr. Tanewa Shinobu, and offers to give us a tour. We readily agree and follow our host. He takes us into the main display room explaining that the museum is dedicated to Saigo Takamori. We learn that Takamori was the basis for the movie, "The Last Samurai." It seems that unlike the movie, Takamori came to lead the rebellion more by default than by any direct action on his part. After leaving Honshu and direct government service he returned to southern Kyushu to hunt with his dogs and train various samurai that came to him for training. Some of these same students, in protest of the government's actions toward the samurai class, seized the local garrison's armory and began the tragic tale. The government, unable to fathom that Takamori's students acted without his knowledge and support, laid a raid at his doorstep. He felt that since he could not escape being linked to the rebellion, his only hope of survival depended on its success. We all know how the story ends, but Mr. Tanewa shows us the many artifacts that he has collected through the years documenting the rebellion. We take lots of pictures as we make our way through the museum, documenting the swords, rifles, even the ninja chain mail and shaken that are in the displays. The other rooms contain depictions of events from Saigo Takamori's life from the time when he was teaching to the actual battles of the rebellion. Mr. Tanewa is famous for the armor that he makes for movies and recreation events. He takes Yoshi Jim inside another display building where he dresses him as a samurai. As you can see from the pictures, Jim looks at home in the armor.
After a wonderful lunch of soba noodles in broth, Mr. Tanewa continues our tour by taking us to his armor-making facilities in town and shows us some of the many weapons that he supplies to the reenactments. We even receive the honor of being invited to have tea at his personal home. He is very efficient and conscientious about everything he produces and it shows in the many awards he has received over the years. We left the museum with more information and the beginning of yet another friendship.
We stay north of Satsuma Sendai to make it easier on Yoshi Jim and Bushi Jason as they are leaving to tour Shimbara Jo the following day while Shidoshi Dallas and I are off to pay our respects to Insei Saija. I drop Yoshi Jim and Bushi Jason off at the ferry terminal and return to Shidoshi Dallas for our trip to visit with his teacher.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Computer Fraud And Abuse Act Reform
A 14-year-old eighth grader in Florida, Domanik Green, has been charged with a felony for "hacking" his teacher's computer. The "hacking" in this instance was using a widely known password to change the desktop background of his teacher's computer with an image of two men kissing. The outrage of being charged with a felony for what essentially amounts to a misguided prank should be familiar to those who follow how computer crimes are handled by our justice system.
Ugly facts often make bad law. But it's important to not let opinions about the specific defendants that appear in court influence how the law will be applied to millions of other individuals. That's why today, EFF filed an amicus brief urging the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a dangerous decision that would make employees criminally liable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act ("CFAA") for violating an employer's computer use restriction.
The Obama Administration is on a roll with proposing legislation that endangers our privacy and security. Over the course of two days, President Obama proposed a cybersecurity bill that looks awfully similar to the now infamous CISPA (with respect to information sharing), a computer crime bill that is the opposite of our own proposed computer crime reform, and a data breach law weaker than the current status quo. All three of the bills are recycled ideas that have failed in Congress since their introduction in 2011. They should stay on the shelf.
Zombie Bill Dead in 2013, Stumbles from the Grave in 2015
More needs to be done to protect cyberspace and enhance computer security. But President Obama's cybersecurity legislative proposal recycles old ideas that should remain where they've been since May 2011: on the shelf. Introducing information sharing proposals with broad liability protections, increasing penalties under the already draconian Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and potentially decreasing the protections granted to consumers under state data breach law are both unnecessary and unwelcome.
Information Sharing
How many times have you logged into a computer or website with someone else's name and password—maybe to retrieve information for a spouse or a friend—completely with their permission? Can you imagine spending a year in prison for that? It sounds ridiculous. That's why EFF filed a "friend of the court" brief in United States v. Nosal this week urging the Ninth Circuit to overturn a troubling conviction under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).

The trouble with BGAs is that you need about 10 layers to get the pins broken out.
A small factor Due is in the list of boards that will come out.
There are a number of issues to solve ... for example with such a big processors it becomes hard to make something that would fit into a breadboard without removing access to most of the pins.
For example: Is it important to have the two separate USB connections or just the "native" connection would suffice?

I have been mostly programming in Perl for the last three years. Thanks to CPAN and the acquired experience I can get quite a bit done in a short amount of time. Now I am thinking about working in Python and C++ again and the lack of a CPAN equivalent is distressing.
So, I have started to think about a tool for those that want to create services like CPAN. The basic features are
- HTTP accessible archive of modules for both human
- Modules have type, version, and dependencies.
Perhaps a
general set of named attributes.
- Contributions can be upgraded directly by
and maintainer.
- Contributions can be downgraded directly by
and maintainer.
- Sites can be mirrored easily.
- Module installation registry on local host.
- Simple command line tool for incorporating new
into an installation.
- Simple command line tool for incorporating upgraded
downgraded modules into an installation.
As a general tool perhaps the most you could is to coordinate the archive's content with a local and limited copy of it, and then coordinate the incorporation of the local modules into some default base installation. (SWIG has done a great job over the years at unifying the creation of C and C++ extensions for scripting languages. I am sure there is much experience and advice here we need to keep in mind.)
Anyway, it would be nice to have something to offer the Python, C++, Ruby, JavaScript, etc communities.
Before going further I really should see what CPAN has.

Heh, I guess I kind of forgot about Advogato... Been busy with some work, as well as doing the site at: FunnyLogs.com. Please register.
Also, trying to do some 3D graphics, you can see it here...
I'll write some more, later... Almost 4am...
Heh, I guess I kind of forgot about Advogato... Been busy with some work, as well as doing the site at: FunnyLogs.com. Please register.
Also, trying to do some 3D graphics, you can see it here...
I'll write some more, later... Almost 4am...
woah, long time no writing. I had a lot of changes in my life, including 3 months on Windows and lots of other things... Yesterday was our independence day... Had lots of fun. GNOME 1.4 was released a couple of days ago, and it owns... Can't think of much to say, other then its good to be back, and I'll write more.
OK, long time no write, and a bunch of news.
First, we're now 3 people in class (11th grade), with a PalmIIIc. Thats cool, but I miss my PalmV, it was so small and nice, and fitted in my hand nicely. Also, I'm the second person in school to have a MP3 player. Though the other one got some weird Korean thingy, and we were reading the docs, they are hilerious.
Anyhow, as you guessed, I hardly hacked all that week. Just fixed a couple of bugs in my sENCRet (a PalmOS app I wrote for a friend), and that was today, during school. (Thanks god for technology).
No 0.95 yet. Got a couple of more fixes from Bodnar42. No complaints from me - works like a charm, stable as a rock here. Somebody needs to shake jwise into releasing it already.
Pink Floyd
Found a site, with a really amazing interpretation of The Wall. Though my interpretation matched 90% of it, some of the added stuff I've seen there is really amazing. Pink Floyd's The Wall: A Complete Analysis
Hacked a bit on Walk500 - added a clist with categories and other stuff. So far, Walk500 is better then the Rio500 guy's utitility... Thats cool. I'm going to talk jwise into releasing 0.95 now - development on it has slowed down, and the icon themes/file transfer/multi-party chat seem to get only small fixes now... So we're pretty ready for a release. It will be one of our best releases so far.
Been busy with "real-life"(tm). Anyway, hacked a tiny bit on crescendo yesterday, going to hack a bit on Walk500 today. Gotta ask terral for permission to check-in stuff into the Crescendo CVS. hadess is just one more person to call me insane. Its good that he knows I'm insane so quickly. ;) Converted some of my Audio-CDs to MP3 for the Rio. I like it very much so far. And I'm still Palm-less :( It sucks. Big time. Anyway, off to hack.
Damn, couldn't really hack today :( School, plus hanging out, plus an exam tomorrow, plus lack of sleep yesterday. (I haven't slept for 37 hours now... Going to sleep soon)... Plus I gave my Rio to a friend... And Jeff submitted (gar) 2 more bugs to sf.n... Going to take a look at them later.
Been busy with real life... Been accompanaid by my new Rio500. The console rio_* utitilies got boring, and I found a nice program (though in its early stages) by hadess, hacked on it a bit... Will do more stuff. Its 5:30am, I couldn't really sleep, had a bunch of news and other real-life related bullshit on my head... Need to wake up at 7am. Cool stuff. The 1st of next month is the deadline of one of my projects, and I'm pretty sure it won't make it... Since I rarely see my computer lately. I bet my computer misses me. Or not. Life without a PDA sucks... I miss my PalmV, and can't wait to get my Prism working... I think thats it for now. Will give away more details as "life" (To quote Megadeth: Life? What do you mean life? I ain't got no life!) progresses.
OK, the multi-party chat rocks. Made a couple of remarks to Olivier... Closed some bugs... Nothing to see here, move along. Anyway, I think I'll buy a Prism here, not in the US... And return that broken Prism... A color screen is too falwky to live without warranty :( And I gotta buy a recharable battery for my Rio. I wanted to say something else, but I can't remember what ;)
OK, this thing seems to work... Thats cool. Got my Rio yesterday. Got my Prism. My prism's screen broke the first day :( That sucks HUGE time. At least I've got some music to listen to. Will rip all my Audio-CDs later...
WOAH, big news. Olivier sent me the first version of the multi-party chat. Ryan has been testing it already. This OWNZ THE GEGLS FIFTH CORN. Anyway, I'm getting my Prism today. I'm slipping on my deadline on another project. That sucks. Fixed some bugs in GnomeICU yesterday - got tired of paying projects. Spent the weekend on 2 parties in a row - was cool.

Family: Odontophoridae, New World Quail view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has white throat and stripe above eye; dark elements of head pattern vary from black to rufous, according to region; lower margin of white throat is defined by black "necklace." Body plumage is brown overall, but with pale barring on underparts and streaking on flanks. "Masked Bobwhite" (ssp. ridgwayi) has mainly rufous orange body plumage and largely black face and throat; its southwestern U.S. range is outside the scope of this book. ADULT FEMALE Rufous brown overall, palest below, with streaked flanks and marbled upperparts. Shows hint of male's head pattern, but pale elements of this are buff-yellow. JUVENILE Similar to adult female, but duller.
Dimensions Length: 8-11" (20-28 cm)
Endangered Status The Masked Bobwhite, a southwestern subspecies of the Northern Bobwhite, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Arizona. The Masked Bobwhite was eliminated from Arizona around the turn of the 20th century when its natural grassland habitat was devastated by the establishment of large cattle ranches in the area. Small numbers of these elusive quail survive in Mexico, and efforts are being made to restore and protect their habitat there. Masked Bobwhite habitat has been reestablished in Arizona's Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reintroduced the bobwhite there.
Habitat In decline, but still locally common.
Observation Tips Wary where hunted.
Range Eastern Canada, Great Lakes, Texas, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Western Canada, Plains, Rocky Mountains, New England, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest
Voice Male utters a strident bob-white call.
Discussion North America's most familiar quail. Male's white throat and stripe above the eye are distinctive; plumage otherwise shows regional variation in extent of rufous. Diet includes seeds, fruits, bulbs, and invertebrates. Gregarious outside breeding season when it forms coveys. Sexes are dissimilar.

NEW YORK, NY, March 15, 2013 -- On Saturday, April 27th, the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society will present Steve Morse, originator of the ingenious "One-Step" webpages for genealogy research, in a full day of lectures and discussions to help researchers get the quickest and most effective use from online data sources. This is a rare opportunity to learn from one of the nation's leading innovators in advanced online genealogical research.
Steve will present two talks which explore the user-friendly tools (approximately 200) on his One-Step website, www.stevemorse.org [1], which allow optimal searching of passenger lists, census records, and vital records from many different online sources. He will explain deep linking, which provides a means of optimizing the information extracted from existing third-party websites in general, and from search applications in particular; no technical knowledge is required. He will share expert advice on how to navigate the New York State census to maximize search results.
The program will take place at the South Court Auditorium of the New York Public Library, located in the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street in New York City; it will run from 10:00 am-4:00 pm, with a break for lunch on-your-own. Registration is $60 for NYG&B members and $90 for nonmembers. Register online at www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org [2].

One of the most important sites to the monotheistic faiths, the Temple Mount houses the Dome of the Rock and the Western Wall.
When King Solomon constructed his first Temple in Jerusalem, the hillside on which he did so became the most important cultic site of the monotheistic world, and is still reverenced by Jews and Muslims today. Solomon (960 - 900BCE) built the temple that David was not allowed to, using Phoenician craftsmen from the neighboring kingdom of Tyre (See the lengthy account of the process in 1 Kings). He also built a circular platform around the edge of the hill to hold the courtyards that encircled the cedar wood and bronze building, and the whole edifice was to have been the focus of Jewish worship forever. However, after his reign the Northern Kingdom declared autonomy, after which time the Temple was used by the tribes of Judea and Benjamin only.
In 586BCE the Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians as Israelites continued to be trapped between warlike Southern and Northern empires. The inhabitants of Judea were killed or taken into exile (excepting the farmers). It was only after fifty years and the auspicious intervention of Persia, the new inheritors of imperial power, that they had the opportunity to return and rebuild the Temple, the thought of returning having sustained many of them during their exile (See Ezra and Nehemiah).
This hastily constructed Temple stood until the Hasmonaeans shored it up in 186BCE, but was pulled down by Herod the Great in 20BCE who began a brand new building that was only finished sixty years after his death. He also constructed a much larger square platform around the hill to allow the Gentiles to go there without profaning the sacred areas towards the temple itself, and it is this platform that is the "Temple Mount" to this day.
This temple was destroyed by the Romans during the Jewish revolt in 70AD, just six years after its completion. The platform was, however, allowed to remain and it became the basis for a temple to Jupiter in the new Hadrianic city of Aelia Capitolina, surviving until the Byzantine period when the area was turned into a rubbish dump, proving visibly to the recently pagan that God had turned his favor from Jew to Gentile Christian. Such was the state when Omar the first caliph marched triumphant into the city and, having forced the Christian Patriarch to crawl on his hands and knees from the Holy Sepulchre to the Mount as penance for desecrating it, built the Dome of the Rock where the temple had stood six hundred years previously.
2 Samuel 24
And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, "Go up, rear an altar
to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite." 19 So David
went up at Gad's word, as the Lord commanded. 20 And when Araunah
looked down, he saw the king and his servants coming on toward him; and
Araunah went forth, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the
ground. 21 And Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his
servant?" David said, "To buy the threshing floor of you, in order to
build an altar to the Lord, that the plague may be averted from the
people." 22 Then Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and
offer up what seems good to him; here are the oxen for the burnt
offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the
wood. 23 All this, O king, Araunah gives to the king." And Araunah said
to the king, "The Lord your God accept you." 24 But the king said to
Araunah, "No, but I will buy it of you for a price; I will not offer
burnt offerings to the Lord my God which cost me nothing." So David
bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 25
And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings
and peace offerings. So the Lord heeded supplications for the land, and
the plague was averted from Israel.
1 Kings 5
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that
they had anointed him king in place of his father; for Hiram always
loved David. 2 And Solomon sent word to Hiram, 3 "You know that David my
father could not build a house for the name of the Lord his God because
of the warfare with which his enemies surrounded him, until the Lord
put them under the soles of his feet. 4 But now the Lord my God has
given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune. 5
And so I purpose to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, as
the Lord said to David my father, 'Your son, whom I will set upon your
throne in your place, shall build the house for my name.' 6 Now
therefore command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me; and my servants
will join your servants, and I will pay you for your servants such wages
as you set; for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to
cut timber like the Sidonians."
The Book of Ezra
Chapter 1
1 In
the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by
the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the
spirit of Cyrus king of Persia so that he made a proclamation throughout
all his kingdom and also put it in writing:
"Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given
me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a
house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Whoever is among you of all his
people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which
is in Judah, and rebuild the house of the Lord, the God of Israel—he is
the God who is in Jerusalem; 4 and let each survivor, in whatever place
he sojourns, be assisted by the men of his place with silver and gold,
with goods and with beasts, besides freewill offerings for the house of
God which is in Jerusalem."
The Revised Standard Version, (New York: Oxford University Press, Inc.) 1973, 1977.

|Research Interests
My research is focused on building intelligent systems for automated manufacturing. The ultimate goal is to design an artifact and send the design to an automated production facility that would produce it. I am currently investigating several research issues in the design area:
building systems that provide feedback to engineering and design.
After a design is complete, it is passed to a production facility. Here, a setup and process plan is prepared along with descriptions of machine setups. The setup descriptions and the stock material are sent to the manufacturing workstations that automatically assemble the part into the fixtures. The manufacturing step is completed for that setup and for all subsequent setups, until the final part is correct and complete.
And finally, we are building the hardware environment that will sufficiently structure the environment to permit the automated production of one-off production quality parts.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
The ever-increasing demands for application availability and performance, the constantly evolving threat landscape, and the need to understand what is happening with applications from a security perspective combine to make the seemingly easy demands for data center network security much more difficult to meet. Indeed, most organizations have been forced into significant compromises – trading security, function, and visibility for performance, simplicity, and efficiency. Read on.
Boards of directors are too often kept in the dark about the security risks to their organisations. That's what the Ponemon Institute discovered last June when they surveyed members of the board of directors and IT security experts from the same companies. The Ponemon researchers found that 30% of directors acknowledge that they don't understand the risks that their organisation faces in security matters. Yet more than 50% of the IT security experts believe that the directors who sit on the boards of their companies don't understand the security environment that they are working in, or the risks it represents.

In today's business world, on-premise infrastructure simply doesn't make sense. Every business today is cost-driven, to some extent. Capital outlay and recurring costs are concerns that keep financial controllers awake at night – and the cost of implementing and maintaining IT infrastructure is a major factor. Cloud computing has dramatically and permanently altered the business IT landscape. ERP systems that once required large, expensive on-premise servers, with associated high implementation and maintenance costs, can now be accessed in a variety of ways that slash those costs while providing superior performance.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Why am I not surprised. No governmental program should ever be adopted on the basis of "it'll only cost...."
Tens of thousands of Americans who cannot get health insurance because of preexisting medical problems will be blocked from a program designed to help them because funding is running low.
Obama administration officials said Friday that the state-based high-risk pools set up under the 2010 health-care law will be closed to new applicants as soon as Saturday and no later than March 2, depending on the state.
But they stressed that coverage for about 100,000 people who are now enrolled in the high-risk pools will not be affected.
Were being very careful stewards of the money that has been appropriated to us and we wanted to balance our desire to maximize the number of people who can gain from this program while making sure people who are in the program have coverage, said Gary Cohen, director of the Department of Health and Human Services Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight. This was the most prudent step for us to take at this point in time.
The program, which was launched in summer 2010, was always intended as a temporary bridge for the uninsured. But it was supposed to last until 2014.
