Atlantics in salt/estuaries
I am here on the east coast but in my experience most innovations in fly fishing seem to be coming from the west. So my question for you is:
Any ideas on how to catch Atlantics in estuaries, the brackish water, or perhaps the first pool above the salt? Here on the east coast I do not know of estuary fishing for Atlantics and the first pool on the river is usually far from the most productive. Regulations in some areas forbid it, but it also a possibility in others.
Thanks for any insights,
Some of the pros may have more insight than me and hopefully they will jump on your thread. Atlantics are a bit different than west coast Salmon (Coho, Kings, Pink and Chum). When the first British explorers came through here, they tried to toss Atlantic flies at them with poor results. They figured west coast Salmon were retarded or something and wrote them off.
I seem to have the best luck with bait fish patterns. I think it much easier to catch them while they are still in the salt. When they first come into a river, they shut down and concentrate getting up stream. Last year on the Stilly, I watched herd after herd of Coho cruise past this bottle neck, about a mile or so past the mouth and could not get them to take a fly. Ten or twenty miles upstream, near their natal beds, they seem a bit more eager to take something.
Excluding the Pink Salmon, I have caught more Coho in Puget Sound. Puget Sound is an enormous body of water here, surrounded by mountains and well protected from the open ocean. It makes it an ideal place to use a small boat to fish the beaches. Salmon have to migrate by several prominent points on their way to their rivers and these are the spots I like to concentrate on. Usually, they are so close to the beach that most takes occur within twenty feet of shore. Nothing like stripping a bait fish pattern through the salt and BAM!
Les Johnson is the Puget Sound master with several books under his belt. These may not translate well to the east coast. There are a few self proclaimed masters out of California, but again their books may not translate well.
I like to fly fish the salt because not a lot of people do. There isn't a library of knowledge like you might find on lake fishing for trout so it requires one to be innovative and willing to explore techniques that are different and untried. Or you can buy all of Les's books and get way ahead of the game.
I would google the heck out of the east coast fly sites and search for Atlantics in the Salt.

Dan- I have looked into it quite a bit and found that almost no one has done much to try for them. What i did find was people in Labrador had tried it with limited success. The atlantics seem to stream into teh rivers fast and shoot up. The lower pools are never very good where as with the pacific salmon they can be very good.
When tha cohos start to stage a the mouths of estuaries I throw a Kaufmanns spider at them in Chartuse. They seem to hit that pretty well.
If you could find a smalller estuary i think it would improve your chances as the estuaries for most of the big atlantic salmon rivers would seem too big to effectively fish.
Let us know if you find anything else.
Matt and D3, thanks for your insights. I think you are right that to concentrate on small estuaries would be the right thing. I know that Atlantics near river mouths stick close to shore because most of the commercial drift nets used to set them there in the 70s when there were commercial fisheries for Atlantics in Canada. I have seen people casting around Tide-head at the Restigouche and the river is 100s of metres wide there. Never have I seen anyone catch anything and they may simply be doing it because the Restigouche is pretty well all private water above that so that is their only chance.
Atlantics do tend to come up in waves with the rain and don't usually hang around the lower river if they don't have to. So I suppose they wont be looking around much if they are on the move. I have heard people say that Atlantics will come up into the fresh into the first pool on high tide and then drop back if conditions don't seem right. I somehow doubt it though as that transition between salt and fresh is likely to be too hard on them to repeatedly subject themselves to it.
In the Swedish Baltic I think most of the Atlantics are caught by trolling close to rivers but I am not sure if those fish are resident there all year or are on the move and have the urge to get up the river.
My guess is that a big gaudy fly that may imitate their most recent food is probably the best bet. It seems to me that the productive flies for Atlantics get smaller as the season progresses.
Please keep posting anyone with ideas.
I know what I would do if I were there. I would fish my "Miyawaki Beach Popper." I fish it as if it were a wounded baitfish. I personally have caught searun cutthroat, coho and chinook salmon, bull trout, and winter steelhead all on saltwater beaches and near enough to estuaries to count. I have had email from fellow popper tossers who have also caught redfish, snook, tarpon, roosterfish, ling cod and barracuda.
Because it is a surface fly, it is a great searching pattern. If you don't get any rises or follows, there aren't any predators around. It's as simple as that.
If you'd like the tying recipe, you can find it at: pugetsoundflyfishing.com and search through the fly pattern archives for "beach popper."
If you are still interested, I can email revisions I have made to the fly since it was published and can also email fishing instructions.
Yes it can be done! Many summers ago as a teenager I spent the month of July at my grandparents small farm on Belle Isle Bay in New Brunswick near the little town of Hatfeild.
Each morning I would take their small skiff over to a long gravel bar near where the ferry crossed. I was fishing for stripers with the fly rod along this bar by drifting over the bar and casting in about 20 feet of water. I had great success for stripers this way and I was using a fly that looked like a smelt to me. I think this fly was used for landlocks in Maine a lot. Twice that July I hooked into an Atlantic by mistake. They were always in that area jumping strait out of the water as only an Atlantic can do. I boated the first one and the second one I lost at the boat. Both fish hit my stripped fly very hard and started to run instantly coming strait up and making great jumps. I can't remember the name of the river close by but I'm sure that's where they were headed for. As an excited young teenager I took that first fish I caught back to the farm. My grandfather had to show everyone in the area my catch so we went to the general store in Hatfeild to show it off. Just about everyone said they had never or hardly ever heard of anyone catching Atlantics in the bay. A couple days latter the warden showed up at the farm told my grandparents that they would be held responsible for my actions if I took another salmon and could loose their property. Most mornings after that I would see the warden sitting in his car on the side of the road watching me fish drinking away at his coffee or tea. We over time became good friends, I showed him how to catch stripers on a fly and he showed me his secret beaver ponds full of big brookies.
If it is legal to catch Atlantics in the salt I think with some diligent observation on your part you will figure out ways to do it.
Good luck.
Leland, that popper looks interesting. The only thing I have fished with poppers is smallmouth bass. It might be interesting to try some out on trout. I am not sure that they would be legal for Atlantics.
OC. Thanks for the great story. I see that Hatfield point is in the St. John river estuary above the reversing falls. You would be hard pressed to catch a salmon there now as the run is all but wiped out I do believe. The stripers are still there I believe. In fact I have been hearing a lot lately about stripers in the Bay of Fundy rivers, I guess they are on the rise because of some solid fisheries management in the US northeast.
Well, I will keep thinking about catching Atlantics in the lower rivers and estuaries.
I'm sorry to hear that there may not be any salmon left in such a beautiful place. The imagages of jumping Atlantics on perfectly still mornings will remain in my soul to the end of time.
Also you should try Lelands popper, it is one remarkable fly. If you ever get to fish for stripers in New Brunswick I think his popper will bring fish to the surface and that is a rare happening in those waters. Fish it and they will come!
I have fished in tidal estuaries in the Western Isles of Scotland / Lochmaddy. In one of the larger sea pools (Geireann), the salmon would come in on the tide. The river that discharges into the estuary was more of spate river, and the salmon would attempt to negotiate things on the tide.
After fishing several days of fishing, it was my impression that the salmon would enter on the tide, and if they couldn't negotiate an entry into the Loch, they would drop back down. No real proof here, just a judgement.
The estuary was such that while there was flow, it wasn't great holding water at low tide. The Ghillie certainly had a firm grasp where the fish would hold due to current and favorable rock formations. In this case it was a pinch point where the current was favorable.
As far as catching them once they had found a holding spot, it was a matter of presentation, same as always. I really sensed that if they ran up on tide, and where unsuccessful, they dropped back down & at that time they became quite agitated ; jumping more than normal - I was almost struck by a fish. They also where not interested in anything until they settled down a bit or dropped back down further.
In hindsight, I think it was more a function of the spate river. In Newfoundland, I fished a much larger river (Humber). The fish would run on the tide, and guides would almost time them coming upstream. It was my impression that they ran as far as they could until darkness, and then found a place to settle (gravel bar or what have you). This was particularly true of the grilse.There was really nothing to contain them as in the previous case, so they ran upstream. Fish do stay in the lower river / head of the ride, so obviously not true for all fish (particularly some larger ones).
Likely there are biologist that have done studies and might offer information. These are just some experiences / personnel observations and are presented as such.
I have a picture of the the Marker Pool on the River Spey. I have never fished it, but this looks like what you are looking for in terms of a larger river. Perhaps someone can offer insight on this pool and fishing it.
I've been fly fishing Atlantic salmon for 44 years (I'm 58 now). In my estimation, the tidal pool on a river can be one of the most productive place on the river to fish...most of my fishing is done in Labrador and I fish 90% or more of my time there in the tidal pools. I've just ordered a 15ft spey rod. It should be here on Monday...just in time for my annual trip to Labrador on July 4. I hope the old addage is wrong and that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Problem is, I have to teach myself...with the help of Mel Krieger's video, and the fishing is so good there that I probably won't want to put down my regular fly rod (11ft) to start learning something new.
I too have fished for atlantic salmon in tidal water. We fished at the last couple of hours of the falling tide, with very small sparse dark colored flies. You can do very well fishing these tidal pools since by definition the fish are fresh, and have not been pounded with a thousand flies. Let me tell you something, hooking a fish this fresh in tidal water is a blast!!!
Once the tide starts to turn, the salmon sense this and become very active, often darting around and putting on a show. It's a lot of fun to watch them then go up river in a few hours the when water keeps rising.
Oh yeah, I fished on the Humber as well, and my guide could tell me the time the fish would reach shellbird island pool...
well, off to Labrador July 25th, can't wait...

Evan, I'm not trying to be a smart a$$# here but for the life of me I cannot understand why a trainer as accomplished as yourself would need a rope at this stage of the game.
Not saying I never use a rope or check cord but it is rarely and if I do it is very brief but I will say I have never used one at this stage of the game. My problem is that I am very inept at using a rope that it does more harm than good. Also I just don't see the need for one.

A campaign designed to remind Hampshire residents and visitors to be 'tick aware' this summer includes new leaflets on how to prevent tick bites and reduce the risk of contracting Lyme disease.
Part of a national programme by Public Health England (PHE), the campaign aims to raise awareness of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses among health professionals and the public.
Ticks are small, spider-like creatures most common in late spring, summer and autumn. a tick is the size of a poppy seed and once detected, it is important to remove the tick with tweezers as soon as possible to reduce the risk of getting bitten and becoming ill.
Most ticks do not carry the infection but any area where ticks are present could be a potential risk for Lyme disease.
Dr Ruth Milton, Hampshire's Director of Public Health said: "We want people to go out and enjoy the countryside this summer but it's important to be aware of ticks which can bite and lead to unpleasant illnesses such as Lyme disease. The new leaflets help explain the risks and how to avoid and treat tick bites.
"As there is currently no effective vaccine against Lyme disease, the most important ways to protect yourself and your family are by being 'tick aware', avoiding tick infested areas, wearing the right clothing where ticks are more common and quickly removing any attached ticks.
"Not all tick bites result in disease, but some can transmit bacteria that cause diseases such as Lyme disease, which can lead to very serious conditions if left untreated. Symptoms of Lyme disease can include a circular rash, tiredness and muscle and joint pain.
"Lyme disease can be contracted in parks, gardens and rural areas across most of the country, and is common in areas such as the New Forest and South Downs. Therefore it is important to raise awareness of this disease amongst our residents and those who visit the area."
Since June 2012 1,928 samples from Hampshire have been tested for Lyme Disease by Public Health England's Rare and Imported Pathogens Department at Porton Down. Of these, 190 were found to be positive for Lyme Disease - approximately 10%.
Most cases occurred between June and August, however not all samples necessarily belong to Hampshire residents as the data reflects samples sent from hospital laboratories within Hampshire rather than residents.
The positive rate of around 10% is consistent across the UK.
Cases are often the result of outdoor activities including camping, walking, hiking and mountain-biking, where tick exposure is more likely.
A factsheet providing important health advice and some basic precautions is available from PHE

What I want to know, is if one part of the country is better for getting figs than another part. Almost everyone seems to be complaining that they can't find the new stuff that has come out(i.e. Tarkin wave, clone three packs,evolution sets ,etc.). What I wanted to know, is what people have found(From the Tarkin wave and on), and what state they are in, just to see if some areas are better than others.
I am in Connecticut,and have seen nothing new in weeks. I still have not seen the Tarkin wave,clone three packs, evolution sets, nothing. I did happen to find one 500 Vader, at ToysRus of all places.

Ke$ha Releases Another Hit With Baby-G!
Global Pop Star Launches Second Watch Collaboration with Baby-G Brand
DOVER, NJ, December 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Global pop icon and Baby-G Brand Ambassador Ke$ha is taking the stage for an encore performance of her collaboration with the Baby-G brand of women's watches. Returning to create another watch after the successful launch of the 2011 Ke$ha watch collection, the fun and fearless star is launching her second watch design, along with gearing up for the launch of her second studio album, Warrior, which is scheduled for release on December 4th 2012. Taking on her sophomore design effort with the same warrior spirit, Ke$ha debuts a tough and trendy watch to match her style sensibility, while truly standing the test of time!
Launching in December 2012, the limited-edition Baby-G x Ke$ha watch reflects the eye-catching essence of the "Die Young" singer/songwriter. Ke$ha drew inspiration for her BGA160KS-7B watch from the evolvement of her personal style while keeping with trends of the season.
"Just like music, fashion is a form of expression. And as you might have been able to tell, I'm all about expressing myself," said Ke$ha. "Having a good time with your style is so important, and that's why I'm thrilled with the design of my new go-to accessory with Baby-G!"
The limited-edition BGA160KS-7B Baby-G x Ke$ha model is a classic timepiece perfect for any outfit or occasion. It features a white, semi gloss case and gold pinstriped band with Ke$ha's signature logo and a gold 3D Roman numeral index consisting of four layers. The watch takes wrist wear to a new dimension utilizing a Neon Illuminator in which a black light LED illuminates special luminous ink on hour markers on the hour and minute hands, and on the dial. The result is a dazzling array of colors.
The Ke$ha-branded accessory is not only fashionably on-trend, it's also tough with a shock resistant & 100-meter water resistant structure and offers functionality with 27-city world time, 4 daily alarms, countdown timer, stopwatch, 12/24 hour formats and a mute function. This warrior's watch is perfect for keeping the popstar on time and in style all tour long!
Ke$ha is also as multi-tasking as her namesake watch. In addition to music and design, she is the first-ever Global Ambassador for Humane Society International where she helps to end cruelty to animals worldwide. To support Ke$ha's "pet" cause, Baby-G is paying it forward by supporting a Humane Society International initiative close to the star's heart, their Street Dog Welfare Program.
"Ke$ha's standout character and mass appeal is the ideal pairing for our upbeat Baby-G brand," said Shigenori Itoh, Chairman and CEO of Casio America. "Merging our fashionable and functional watches with a fun, fearless and charitable star makes this collaboration a perfect fit for our consumer."
The limited edition collaboration watch will be available this December at Tourneau, Nordstrom, select Macy's stores and fashion boutiques, with an MSRP of $130 for the BGA160KS-7B. Please visit www.baby-g.com to view our other women's watch collections.

I used customsawing.com for a few years. This will probably be the first time in a few years I haven't placed an order with them. Before I found them, I was going to go broke buying calls for my sons. Angus is 10, but he's a fairly accomplished caller. A couple of years ago, I went in his room to tell him to turn down the calling tape and it was just him. Even watching the closeout sales at the end of season wasn't feeding the habit efficiently.
I made slate calls and glass calls for myself and my sons. It was just a great way to make a call that sounded good without a whole lot of cost. I think I spent $50 and made a bunch pot calls with various strikers. From there, I started experimenting with odd materials, both as surface material and as strikers. All my projects were crude looking, but I was working to produce sounds not art. Somewhere along the way, I experimented with copper and that was how I ended hooking up with Brian Warner's Heirloom Turkey Calls . Copper has a unique sound, and some mornings it's just the ticket.
Brian has a product called the "Copperhead." It is an inexpensive way to add a copper calling surface to a friction call-- either a box or a pot call. He was running down somewhat the same lines I was, but he's also a real artist-- gorgeous calls. Now my call making has taken a back seat and Angus and I are field testing for Brian.
I found that making my own calls went a long way to teaching me another level of subtlety to the calling. It certainly got me thinking more about friction over mouth calls. I'd recommend customsawing to anyone who wants to take calling a step farther.

Just over 20 years ago Nick and Robyn Jones were sitting in their Epsom home living a very different life. Robyn was at university and Nick was an accountant. They decided to change direction ... and now are living the dream on Waiheke Island.
Robyn talks to Colleen Thorpe about the now-famous Mudbrick Vineyard and Restaurant they own and a book that is part-cookbook, part-homage to the beauty and appeal of life on Waiheke Island
You're living the kiwi dream, Robyn ... what is your biggest challenge?
Relationships. They must be nurtured constantly to keep them alive and functioning properly. This applies to my personal relationships, my children, my staff and my customers - its all about the people.
And what makes your heart smile?
Love. Loving what you do, loving who you are with, loving who you are. Love is the answer to everything I have realised! My loves are writing, walking and communicating with people.
Where did the name "Mudbrick" come from?
It came from our gardener, Mark Robinson, who, when we were deliberating about what to call our venture, he suggested the simple word Mudbrick, as that is what the building was made out of, and it grounded it to the land and spot where it sat.
Describe your business and passion in just 50 words.
Our business is about providing enjoyment to other people. It's a destination to come to and relax, talk, taste and enjoy.
Our vision was to create a beautiful environment that people could come to, enjoy sitting there, with the best New Zealand cuisine on offer, sourced from as close by as possible, and of the finest quality.
Similarly with the wines, the challenge was to make the finest we could make, and now we enjoy the fruits of our labours, and share them with others.
What are the three most important lessons you and Nick have learned from this venture?
People are everything.
You must sow before you can reap and you must show restraint.
Authenticity and honesty pay off every single time.
What came first... the wine or the food?
We planted the grapes first, so had the thought of the vineyard first, then we decided to open a restaurant. The first vintage and the opening of the restaurant was in the same year.
What's your favourite wine?
Syrah and botrytised reislings. At the risk of humiliating taunts at wine tastings from other more distinguished palettes, I head for the stickies!
And your favourite food?
Duck, I never tire of it. It has such a unique, independent flavour.
What is your first memory of food?
Porridge, brown sugar and cream. And so began my love of fat and carbohydrates mixed together.
Have you a guilty pleasure?
Crackling from the pork roast is a big guilty favourite. My willpower is not that strong, and its just too easy to wander down to Monica in desserts and ask to try this week's chocolate truffle flavour. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
What three New Zealand foods are at the top of your list?
Lamb. Like duck, it has a unique flavour - so many meats can resemble beef - but lamb is distinct, rich and gorgeous.
Flounder. A deliciously delicate fish.
Baked kumara, butter, salt and sour cream. Fast food!
Tell us three things about yourself people may not know or may be surprised to learn.
I battle with fear. I want to do lots of things, but fear prevents me from doing them, sometimes for a long time.
Everytime I overcome my fear, it pays off - you would think I would have learnt my lesson by now!
I don't watch TV, instead preferring to read, write or Google all the things I'd like to be doing or researching,
I'm very spiritual - I love guided meditation, but above all I love to laugh with friends and be free.
A Life at Mudbrick

The indoor panoramas are more complicated than they appear at first sight due to low light, the limited DOF (deep of field) and the close objects, and moving peoples . This mean a manual focus and a double exposure for each problem areas, editing and removing ghost frames.
After all, a hard work to straighten the lines and for perspective and stitching errors correction. But here you can enjoy lots of beautiful details
The Metropolitan Cathedral, Iaşi -Romania, is the seat of the Romanian Orthodox Archbishop of Iaşi and Metropolitan of Moldavia and Bukovina, and the largest Orthodox church in Romania.
It is dedicated to Saint Paraschiva, to the Presentation of Jesus and to Saint George.
Its form was inspired by the late Italian Renaissance style (Trinità dei Monti in particular), with Baroque elements dominating the interior and exterior decorative features.
The Metropolitan Cathedral is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments.

Alibaba seems to think so. The Wall Street Journal today took a look at how the mammoth Chinese online retailer is tackling the problem of fake goods.
Alibaba is one of China's largest–and most successful–online retailers, and its IPO could command upwards of $70 billion dollars. With a offering coming as early as September, Alibaba appears to be taking steps to limit the counterfeit merchandise on its platform. The Wall Street Journal reports:
Unlike Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), Alibaba doesn't sell products itself but operates websites that help sellers find buyers. While Alibaba doesn't have much control over who sells what on Taobao–a mammoth site with more than 800 million product listings—it has been continuously upgrading the system to delete listings for counterfeit goods. In Alibaba's efforts to maintain credibility, Tmall, another shopping site that became independent from Taobao in 2011, plays a key role. While anyone with a national identification document can become a seller on Taobao, Alibaba's criteria for Tmall, which hosts storefronts for major brands such as Nike Inc. (NKE) and Gap Inc. (GPS), are more stringent as it tries to make the site a piracy-free zone…
…Alibaba said it blocks some items from being posted on Taobao using filtering mechanisms based on certain keywords used by sellers to describe counterfeit goods. Brands like[guitar-string manufacturer] D'Addario constantly monitor Taobao and report any counterfeit items to Alibaba.
Counterfeiting isn't Alibaba's alone. On April 20, Barron's Leslie Norton raised questions about the authenticity of merchandise at online discount retailer Vipshop (VIPS).
Still, the claims don't appear to have had an impact on Chinese consumers' willingness to buy online goods–or on the internet retailers' stocks. Stifel's George Askew and team sum up the latest data on online shopping in China:

A Look at Take-On's Huge February 22nd Event
- Written by Dave Walsh
Muay Thai in the United States is really starting to get some steam behind it over the past year or so, something that I wasn't sure we'd ever see like we are seeing now. Thanks in part to promotions like Lion Fight in Las Vegas and TaKe-On in New York we are seeing more and more muay thai cards getting a lot of media coverage and pulling in some bigger names for fights. TaKe-On's partnership with MSG Sports is a big deal, probably a bigger deal than most people can imagine as it shows a serious sports entity and their serious interest in combat sports beyond Boxing and MMA.
TaKe-On XIX takes place on February 22nd at Resorts World Casino in New York City, marking the first ever muay thai event held in the first ever casino in New York City.
The event sees the usual mix of professional and amateur fights that we know and love from muay thai cards with a few big title fights as well.
Check TaKe-On's site for more information as well as the full card.

The "right decision"to a retriever is generally that decision which feels good or is the most convenient.So its the trainers job to teach the dog that what feels good is that which pleases the trainer.
Cotton Pershall
I've judged quite a few. I don't worry too much about it. Over the years, I have figured that most likely the dog that does not watch the birds go down, will show out in the field.
I also look at it as I am not going to get ticky tacky about the line. It usually works itself out. When I am calling for the birds, I do not change the timing. I do this for every dog. If the handler is busy trying to get the dog to the next mark, they usually miss it all together. On the other side of the coin, the dog goes out and sticks the birds. On to the next series.
There are subtle infractions that merit a comment and there blatant infractions that merit elimination. The "knowledgeable" judge recognizes the infraction and judges it for what it is. The "experienced" judge remembers this is a gentlemens sport and comments accordingly.

Re: The shuffle, as a new judge I remember wondering about why the shuffle was considered a smart, general accepted handling technique, while any tapping of the thigh, snapping of fingers or speaking to your dog was dealt with by either a warning or being dropped. After much thought and talking with old judges I respected, I just accepted the seeming contradiction as a traditionally accepted evolution of the sport. In the real world of judging I have noticed that the dog that responds to a quiet, subtle drag back of the off foot, is a good team player and more likely to succeed, while the guy who is going berserk pawing the ground like a wild bull isn't going to get his dog's attention no matter what, so it all works out in the wash anyway.

will readily admit to the "addiction" of the RTF, but like the changes I am making in my personal and professional life, I am trying to eliminate the negative influences or at least limit those interactions that I have with those people..I have learned after attending church this summer that there is evil all around, and like other "addictions" to either lifestyle choices or substance issues, that we are able to pick and choose who we want to be around..
One of the commitments that Dana and I have made in our quest to be better people is to start surrounding ourselves around better people,and eliminating those that have either negative influence or negative habits...
Guess the same goes for me here and other website/chat forums that I peruse...readily admit to some post election burnout, but also have not had anything positive to add to many of the topics lately..I dont have anyone from Potus on ignore but I do choose who I interact with , and who I choose to read but go no further, same for the main board (but I do use the ignore function)
Made a couple of real good friends here on the RTF, both guys and gals...the kind that I want to hang with in the real dog world

Opiate dependence is a severely detrimental condition, but it can be treated with proper medical care and supervision. If you are searching for a great detox center in AL that can help you or someone you love make a full recovery from an opiate addiction, use Rehabs.com to find certified Suboxone doctors. They'll be able to provide you with as individualized treatment plan suited to your particular needs.
Suboxone Physicians and Prescription Programs
Getting help for an opiate dependency doesn't have to be an overwhelming experience. If you or someone you love is struggling with an addiction to Morphine, Codeine, Hydrocodone or any other kind of opioid, choose your city below to find the best AL Suboxone physicians. An individualized detox treatment program will aid a recovery from opiate addiction and abuse.
Sponsored centers in or near Alabama
Opioids are highly addictive drugs that cause extreme physical and psychological dependency. Often times, users seek out prescription medications when trying to become sober to prevent painful withdrawal symptoms from occurring. Subutex and Suboxone are two commonly used medications that work to keep a person from feeling adverse opiate withdrawal symptoms. While they work in the same way, Suboxone contains an additional active ingredient, Naxalone, which keeps users from abusing the medication.
That is generally a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer treatment close to home, though others recognize the value of a clean break from the people and places associate with the addiction.
As a class of drugs, opiates are difficult to taper off use of without help. Quitting cold turkey is never recommended for anything other than the mildest addictions, because of the withdrawal dangers.

Science has now found that young people who are non-heterosexual are more commonly punished than other young people – for the same infractions – both at school and in the legal system. Lead author Kathryn Himmelstein was an undergraduate at Yale when she undertook this eye-opening research project, and discovered that there has been widespread disproportionate treatment of young people who identify as non-heterosexual. At a time when all Americans are thinking hard about the challenges these young people face, we were proud to work with Ms. Himmelstein - providing her with media training, and helping to spread the word about her research. She told the New York Times:
"Our data show that lesbian, gay and bisexual youth are being excessively punished, but the data don't say why. We weren't able to figure out the circumstances of the punishment, but that's something that should be investigated more in light of recent events involving bullying and harassment of gay teens by peers.''According to Ms. Himmelstein, quoted here in the Washington post, "The most striking difference was for lesbian and bisexual girls, and they were two to three times as likely as girls with similar behavior to be punished." The Post also spoke to 18 year-old Clara McCreery, co-president of the Gay-Straight Alliance at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda. She said:
"I find it tragic. I wonder if some people misinterpret the way some gay girls choose to dress as a sign of aggression."CBS asks whether lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth are punished more because they are more prone to misbehavior.
Not likely, says Himmelstein, who is now a public school teacher in New York CIty. The study showed that disparities in punishment could not be explained by differences in the rates of misbehavior. In fact, it showed that LGB teens are less likely than their peers to engage in violent behavior.With all the talk these last few months about bullying of gay youth, it's crucial to note that science now shows these young people are being let down by more than just their peers. Whether intentionally or not - the adults who are charged with their well-being are treating these youth more harshly than their straight counterparts. We applaud Ms. Himmelstein for undertaking this research, and we hope it makes more Americans aware of the fact that young people who identify as non-heterosexual face even more challenges than we may have thought. The study was published today in the journal Pediatrics.

I have a question.
What's the justification for separating boys and girls b/c of their sexual implications(Enabler)
but not separating homosexual boys and girls b/c of their sexual implications?
Is it not the same sexual implications for both?
A Coworker today said that he thought it would be like a Gay Dudes Gold Mine to be surrounded by those who he is sexually attracted to lol
I'm not sure about that but it is an interesting/intriguing thought.
Its only fair if a gay guy joins the army and gets to shower with what excites him. ( Yes he is a man and gets horned up as easy as any red blooded dude) Then I can join the army and stay at the girls barracks.
,,now I'm thinkin back on my college days in the dorm,,, AH man, That SOB

An outstanding year as a member of the Hope men's cross country program is being topped by the naming of junior Nathan Love of Midland (Midland HS) as a scholar athlete by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
Love is one of just 142 male runners at all NCAA Division III institutions to receive the distinction. To qualify, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or greater through the most recent semester and placed in the top 35 at the NCAA Regional championships.
Love finished eighth at the Great Lakes Regional to qualify for the NCAA national championships where he placed 61st among 279 runners. He earlier finished fourth at the championships of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). He was a co-captain of the team.
The Flying Dutchmen, coached by Mark Northuis, finished second at the MIAA championships and were sixth at the regional.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Choctaw Bob
Sounds like you already buy race gas by the drum. What's one more? Me, I hate to admit I've made a serious uncorrectable blunder. Now, with that said, it doesn't sound like you have the skills or the inclination to fix this problem yourself. If you did, you would pull it apart on the stand where it sits and see what you got. Most folks I know would never buy a used race engine from anything less than a reputable engine builder. So...that leaves you with the option of breaking it down and selling for salvage the parts you don't use. Use the block, the rods and crank and buy new parts that fit what you intend to do with the car. 500 HP on pump gas is not difficult with a 355 if you use a set of AFR or comprable heads and a hydraulic roller cam. It's at the upper range of what you can expect without power adders.
Maybe the guy you bought it from will buy it back at a discount you can live with.
|Not trying to "market an engine". Marketing it would include including my contact info, which I wont do. Ive never bought or sold a used engine. Im also not familar with GM or high compression race gas engines. I bought it based on the idea I would modify it to run on 93. Based on responses from people like yourself it sounds like its not a good idea to take it apart. Thats why Ive used this forum for advise from others with more experience like every other person who has posted a question looking for help here. Chill out.
So based on the specs of the engine carb to pan ready to run with all accessories what would you sell it for. Anyone chime in. Im not sure???
thanks in advance.
The info is helpful. I think based on what I've read it sounds like the set up I have is a good engine. I dont think I want to mess with it. I think that I may try it in a car and have a careful tune and mix some 110 with the pump 93. Worst case it pings and I pull it and sell it. Or I may sell it as it is and buy/build another. I knew the compression may be a factor when I bought it. I bought it @ Iola old car show the last day of the swap meet. He did not want to bring it back home. I may not be a Cheve expert like some who have responeded but im not new to muscle cars amd HP motors. I wouldnt have bought it if it didnt sound/run right. Its solid.
You made mention of if the guys were idiots they woudnt have used those quality Bow Tie heads 2.02. Whats different from these to any other chevy small block 2.02 head?
Ok got ya. Yeah but should be around 500 if built well. Usally when people go to the effort of buying gm performance products heads they usally have a good idea of how the rest of the build should go. If it was built by clowns it would not have those heads so sounds like a good engine.
If i had a parts list i could come up with a price. As far as sbc for a bracket car that is a perfect setup. I would bet someone spent more than a few bucks to have it built.
In the sbc world blocks are a dime a dozen so are parts to build them up. Mild builds can be very inexpensive. What you have sounds like a nice little gem. It would be a shame to pull it apart. But sbc are much less forgiving than big blocks.
Here is a dcr calculator problem is i dont think any amount of cam is going to let you run 13:1 on the street and use iron heads. But i have seen someone pull off 12.5:1 on the street but it was a fair weather car. Now the right cam and a few gallons of 104 octane per tank full you might make it work with careful tuning.
United Engine & Machine Co. Incorporated
Fyi i got a feeling from this post that you got a few bucks to spend on the right stuff. The LS motor is awesome for street cars. Price is a lot more than a gen I. But many ppl have them over 800 hp with turbos and mostly stock engines. Even with the 5.3 will make a butt load of power with simple setups. The 6.0 from an escalade is good for 300 hp In stock trim. A cam and some exhuast work 350-400 is not hard to find. It is a lot more work to install but work dam well and will last 100k miles no sweat. Also makes for a very smooth and fast car. Only reason most ppl dont upgrade is cost. The heads and block are a leap forward in tech. The stock big valve LS heads flow better than some aftermarket heads for the gen I.
Sorry for the long post hope at least some of the info is helpful.
Hook up a battery and run a compression test. Cranking compression over 215 or so will be hard to get by on pump gas. You can either swap heads or run a cam with more duration or a tighter LSA. Increasing overlap will lower the dynamic compression.

Who said anything about "a stock Super Bee and stock GT500" ???????? 1969 1/2 A12 six pack Super Bee Hemi orange restored 6/2012. 543" ci stroker, Edelbrock heads, 3.5" hookers, 3 worked holley 500 cfm carbs, hydraulic rollers cam, lifters, rockers+++ Dyno done 4/2012 715 ft lb torque.

Oh ya "stock GT500" Ford racing 2.3L TVS supercharger, Kooks 3" race headers and exhaust, high flow elbow + twin TBI. VMP performance underdrive supercharger pulley kit 2.59" boosts 18 PSI (double OE). Eibach lowered suspension. +++ too much to list here. Above are the highlights. Yes I have the engine and chassis dyno with many pulls. Videos too. All 3 cars are in previous pics in this post.
Most of my performance experience is in Mopar and Ford. Thats why I was asking you guys what you think the 355 Chevy as I posted the specs prior is worth. ?????? Any other ideas of value?
But I agree, 500 hp is much more than "STOCK" Super Bees and Shelbys...
Price would need to be added up and parts priced. Then add in the machine work and builder time. Add all together and cut it in half since the motor is used and that should be around your price. Or between 2500 to 5k depending on the guts. New with forged internals and all the right toys 15k.
I wouldnt need an engine that is good for traffic or cold weather. This would be a cruiser/street racer. I dont think I want to take apart this combo. The only thing I wanted to do was replace heads to help with detonation. I didnt know if these heads were any good. I wouldnt want to trade anyone for a stock type of motor. 500 hp would be perfect for what I want to do. In fact if what I use is 500 hp is would be the least powerful of the muscle cars I have (2 SuperBees and Shelby GT500). I was just not in love with needing 110 gas.
What do you think this engine combo carb to pan is worth complete?
In order to make it a street car engine you will need to replace the cam and pistons. Now to make it a good smoother runner for all weather and street only use traffic in 100 degree weather or very cold out. You will need to swqp out the intake and carb as well. And then the heads will be over sized for the parts you have.
The motor has value as it sets. I would sell it to a racer that will be happy to have it as is. Then buy new trans and stock engine for the same money. Simply replqcing the pistons or swaping the heads will make the engine under perform and possibly very tempermental to hot and cold and basic rigores of street driving. I spend two hours in heavy traffic every morning so a street engine must perform well for me. You may be willing to deal with more issues if you can drive in good weather and no traffic.
Do you live on the us east coast. I got a few engines to trade if your interested.
Fyi most drag racers will be happy to trade you something street able for that engine. If you have a race car project this is the motor for it. Junk yard has plenty of street engines that can be bolt in ready. Ls motor would even be better for the street.
Should be firmly into the 500hp range. Nice build would hate to see it ripped apart. Never good idea to dig into a sealed engine if you dont need to.
I will pull the vc as soon as possible. I was attempting to do this research now because this may influence what project I do next.
This is what the sheet says....355 Chevy. Steel crank. 6" Eagle H beam rods. 13:1 Wiesco pistons. Victor jr intake. Bow tie cast iron heads 64cc 2.02 I 1.60 e. Jr motor sports cam int duration @.050 .256. Exh duration .050 .264. Gross lift int 546, exh .565. Duration int .294, exh .300. Lash hot .026. Lobe center 105. Rpm range 3000-7200. Roller rockers. 1.6 ratio. 4 bolt main out of 1980 truck.
It included everything. Carb (don't have more details at this time. Holly 800?), dist, whole ignition. Deep oil pan. Flywheel. Starter. Everything. It was running on an engine stand when I bought it. Started right up every time. Idled nice. No abnormal sounds. No smoke out of headers. Revs up smooth. Sounded awesome.
I posted pics of the motor on the prior page on this post.
Questions are this: are these good heads? Is this a good set up? What would you think something like this is worth? I think they spent quite a bit on this engine. Any input is welcome..
13.1 compression Chev 355?
The best suggestion has already been stated. Pull one of the heads to see what type piston you have. If it is a 13.1 compression engine most likely you will have domed pistons. The part number of the piston is usually stamped on a pad on the bottom of the piston. You would have to pull the oil pan to see that number. If you don't want to buy racing fuel sell the engine. IMO more would have to be changed than just pistons to make it useable for the street.
|I have a little over 14.1.. I can get by with hitting the airport but it still dont run the best. I havnt tried the E85 yet. If I want it to run its best I have to buy the good stuff.

Will Rogers Said.........
Posted 13 October 2012 - 01:28 PM
Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the greatest political sages
this country has ever known.
Some of his sayings:
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10. If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.
12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.
He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it's such a nice change from being young.
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old. (and thats the truth...)

In Decision Time, Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20+ years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Taken to the Woodshed
Against my nature, I planted my butt by the woodpile and vowed to wait. When the birds gobbled 150 yards to the north, I thought about moving but resisted. And believe it or not, after about 15 minutes, a jake, four hens and the Woodpile Gobblers appeared at the field edge and started walking toward me. Before long, two hens and the jake were 20 steps away. With gun up and safety off, I waited for the strutters to appear over a small rise.
Then I saw the gobblers out in the hay field, chasing hens 100 yards away. What? Within seconds, they did a large circle around me, got behind me in the woods and headed to the neighbor's place, gobbling at my calling with every step. They'd done an end-around past the pile.
Huh. Maybe those gobblers read mystery novels ... or at least turkey hunting magazines.
What decision did you make?

Pulitzer winner to discuss war in Iraq, Nov. 30
Posted November 18, 2005; 01:36 p.m.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh will discuss "The War in Iraq: Bush's Democracy and the Real Thing" at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, in McCosh 50.
Formerly a reporter for The New York Times, Hersh first gained recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize. He currently contributes regularly to The New Yorker on military and security matters.
His 2004 book, "Chain of Command: The Road From 9-11 to Abu Ghraib," collects and elaborates on stories Hersh wrote for The New Yorker on the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the torture scandal at Abu Ghraib prison and intervening events. The book focuses on the manner in which sensitive intelligence was gathered and disseminated within the Bush administration.
The talk, designated as the Stafford Little Lecture, is part of the University's Public Lecture Series.

The Sports Panel: feuds, funding and Ashes fait accompli?
29 April 2013 , 2:48 PM by James Vyver
This week's sports panel had much to talk about. Its members were former Wallaby Geoff Didier, writer for the Footy Almanac Craig Little and former basketballer Phil Lynch.
First out of the gate was the parting of ways of Singo and Gai in less joyous fashion, we asked if there be a judicial enquiry as well as the steward's enquiry? Will horse racing in this country suffer wither way or is this just a high profile spat?
The sports funding cake was sliced up last week, with the Olympic sports finding out just how much they will have to spend in the race for gold. How should we decide which sports should be funded more than others? How should the return on investment be measured (other than medals)? The panel chewed that one over too.
The 2013 Ashes squad is now out in the open, causing some Pommies to sniff a victory even before the Australian team touches down in the mother country. The panel discussed if this band of merry men pull it off?
Last for the band of merry men in our studio was Aussie Jesse 'Tha Monster' Williams being drafted in to the NFL. This caused Gridiron proponents around the nation become excited at the thought this may be the watershed moment for the sport in Australia – surely we can't accommodate a fifth footy code can we?

Princeton University is holding a campus conference this week for graduate alumni this week, with more than 1,000 guests expected to attend and reconnect with fellow alumni and the University. On the second day of the "Many Minds, Many Stripes" conference, which runs Thursday to Saturday, Oct. 17-19, organizers premiered a video showcasing the Graduate School's history and the evolution of graduate education, student life and alumni relations, as well as the impact that Princeton has had on alumni's lives. Read more.

LIZ PENDER: It was a place where
I could learn to be as
scientist of the
new generation.
MATT TRUJILLO: One of the things
I keep saying about
when you decide on what
grad school you're
going to go to is fit.
really enjoyed
working with my adviser.
LAURENCE MORSE: This is an
incredibly rich environment.
SPEAKER 1: The graduate
alumni act as
mentors and as role models.
HAROLD SHAPIRO: When I ask
most professors what they
value most, they usually
say the students first.
PATRICE JEAN: I loved
what I saw here.
SPEAKER 2: And the University,
of course,
is a beautiful place.
TONI FIORI: I'd have to say,
the two years I spent at
Princeton were two of the
best years of my life.
ANNE SHERRERD: Realizing that
we're all part of this
continuum of life.
CHRISTOPHER EISGRUBER: The role
of graduate students in
the Princeton community has
always been indispensable.
NARRATOR: Great research
universities couldn't exist
without graduate students, a
fact Princetonians seemed to
recognize soon after the
colleges' creation, when
students like James Madison
in 1772 stayed on after
completing an undergraduate
degree to take special study
with the president.
By 1900, Andrew Fleming West was
named as the first dean of
the graduate school and used his
considerable influence to
fund raise and build the
House of Knowledge.
Formally dedicated on October
22, 1913, the graduate college
embodied West's vision of a
community of scholars and was
known as the crown in
Princeton's educational system
for the advancement
of pure learning.
West reveled at the fact that
graduate education would be a
reward and a challenge.
"And why should not the graduate
student, no matter
how closely he specializes,
be given every chance for
fellowship with students in all
fields of liberal study?
The student we are describing
is capable of meeting with
many minds and getting
on with them all.
Many minds across many
disciplines, through many life
stages, with many achievements,
each with a
unique story.
Our graduate alumni represent
these stories.
Our Princeton tigers represent
many minds of many stripes.
Hear them roar."
JOHN FLEMING: Graduate
school is tough.
But the truth of the matter is,
it's likely to be the very
best years of your life.
LAURENCE MORSE: When I think
about the long tunnel that
you're in post generals as
you're pursuing your
doctorate, there are many points
along that path where
one is perhaps tempted
to be discouraged
or tempted to despair.
That there are traps, if you
will, things that occur to you
along the way that might appear
to be obstacles, that
might appear to be unyielding
And it's easy at that time
to simply fold your
tent and walk away.
You simply cannot
give into that.
If you are patient enough,
confident enough, and strong
enough to say and maintain a
certain mental alertness,
eventually alternate paths,
other ways of approaching the
problem will present
themselves to you.
PATRICE JEAN: Now that I've
come back, and I've given
back, and I've volunteered, and
I've met wonderful people,
and I think very differently
about things that weren't so
positive experiences while
I was on campus.
Come back, give back, and let
the university embrace you in
a way that you didn't feel
embraced while you were a
graduate student.
CHRISTOPHER EISGRUBER: I think
the progress of the graduate
school here has been
As I said, the role of graduate
students in the
Princeton community has always
been indispensable.
But when I was an undergraduate
here you really
felt the effects of the decision
that had been made
back in Woodrow Wilson's
administration to build the
graduate school out on the
edge of the campus.
Graduate students were teaching
very heavy loads.
They were worried about
their funding.
And they didn't feel as
integrated into the core of
the university.
When I came back, partly through
improvements that the
university had made in its
graduate support and partly
through the development of
institutions like the
University Center for Human
Values and other kinds of
scholarly fora that welcomed
graduate students in, there
was a much more inclusive
feeling about the role of the
graduate school, the role of
graduate students in the
EMILY BAKEMEIER: Overall, felt
very connected to the rest of
the community in ways that were
really quite added to the
In a way that when you did live
off campus, I didn't feel
separate or apart from.
TONY FIORI: The two years I
spent at Princeton were two of
the best years of my life.
My friends that I met here
were just remarkable.
After the two years of doing
that, there's was a void of
not having these folks around.
So I really enjoyed my
experience here.
I think in part that was because
the Woodrow Wilson
School really created an
environment that fostered
those sorts of relationships.
It was an excellent time.
FRIEDERIKE FUNK: My research is
really my research and not
my adviser's research.
So this feels like being on
the playground for ideas.
That's what I value
And I also value that there
are so many different
inspiring people
on this campus.
LOAN LE: I fell in love with
Princeton when I was an
But now as a graduate student,
I'm even more
in love with Princeton.
And I think I see it from
a different perspective.
Every department is world
class in their research.
And it's great to be a place
where of like minded people,
but also of people who really
care about what they do and
they're really good
with what they do.
PATRICIA MARKS: It was extremely
important to me to
be part of the kind of
community, the scholarly
community, that Princeton
LIZ PENDER: I was giving
a presentation as an
undergraduate in a research
seminar class.
And there were some Princeton
professors who were there.
They saw the presentation,
I guess they liked it.
And we talked.
And what they said about
Princeton really drew me to
the school.
That it was a place where I
could learn to be a scientist
of the new generation.
Where I could learn computation
and traditional
genetics, and really apply
that to be successful.
MATT TRUJILLO: At the end of
the day, this university
supports graduate students
When it comes to the resources,
everything that's
at our fingertips, there's no
way anybody could argue that
they don't.
WALTER KEENAN: The experience
that I got out of Princeton is
pretty hard to describe
in detail.
Because it just is a wonderful
I hope that graduates today have
the same enthusiasm that
was prevalent in my day.
WILLIAM RUSSEL: Your education
has established, in the words
of Dean Hugh Scott Taylor in
1955, a permanent relationship
to learning that will
enable you--
actually, be essential
for you--
to face challenges and embrace
opportunities in the US and
abroad across long careers in
rapidly changing times.
CHRISTOPHER EISGRUBER: One of
the things we care about in
general at Princeton is being
part of a community that has
its heart here on this campus,
but that transcends boundaries
of geography and time.
And we feel that strongly about
our graduate alumni,
just as we do with regard to
our undergraduate alumni.
SPEAKER 3: And now if you were
paying careful attention, the
25th reunion class has
already gone by.
This is the Association of
Princeton Graduate Alumni.
JUSTIN MIKOLAY: There's a
famous speech that Adlai
Stevenson gave here
called, "The
Educated Citizen" in 1954.
The thesis of that speech was
more or less, "you have been
given much, and therefore much
will be demanded of you." When
you leave Fitz Randolph gate,
you have an obligation to
serve the country, to
serve the world.
That feeling of being compelled
to leave here and
serve others I think is common
among many Princetonians.
NARRATOR: Since the graduate
school centennial in 2000, the
desire to get Princeton's 25,000
graduate alums even
more engaged has born
wonderful fruit.
CHRISTOPHER EISGRUBER: This
place thrives on traditions
that are embraced, invented, and
reinvented by our alumni.
And bringing the graduate alumni
of this university
together in this powerful way
is a way for Princeton
University to say to them, we
want you to be owning those
traditions and reinventing
ANNE SHERRERD: You can
start late and make
your Princeton friends.
Because when I started
volunteering I basically knew
nobody except the people who
I had been in architecture
school with.
And now I would say, my closest
friends are all
And it's all friends who
I've made doing my
volunteer work here.
TONY FIORI: I felt like I had to
give back in some respect.
And so being part of the APGA
has allowed me to stay
connected to the campus,
but also feel like I'm
contributing in some small way
to making this a better place.
HAROLD SHAPIRO: The way to help
the university most if
they're an engineer in
California, or they're a
teacher in Florida, or whatever,
is to do the best
they can do in where they
are in the communities
which they are in.
To be looked upon as people that
really strengthen their
That is, by far, the most
important dividend that
Princeton can receive.
EMILY BAKEMEIER: Have
fun in life.
And incorporate the life of the
mind into the life that is
social and that is human.
And make it be a full life
that is all it can be.
And not a narrow life
that just is not
what Princeton's about.
CHRISTOPHER EISGRUBER: One of
the wonderful things that
we've seen about these different
kinds of conferences
that Princeton has run over
the last few years is that
they provide our alumni with
different ways to think about
their connections to
the university.
And often catalyze further
connections after the
And right now we're looking to
establish a lot of different
pathways through which graduate
alumni can do that.
We've had some very successful
reunions in departments that
allow graduate alumni to network
with people who share
common interests but have come
through this place at
different generations.
And my hope would be that as
alumni connect to one another,
reconnect to the university and
their departments at this
conference, they identify more
pathways through which they
can return to Princeton
in the years ahead.
ALFREDO GARCIA: a lot of people
who are just so driven,
so motivated.
SPEAKER 4: We felt
like we were very
much part of a community.
SPEAKER 2: The faculty were very
open to allowing students
to work on what they
were interested in.
ANNE SHERRERD: Make sure that
you take advantage of being
part of this great community and
all that it has to offer.
PATRICE JEAN: I love all of
my new relationships of my
Princeton family.
SPEAKER 1: It's really a joy to
know that they succeed and
go on and help the world
and the country the
way that they do.
LAURENCE MORSE: Showing up on
campus and sometimes sitting
in on a class or seminar.
It's like being young again.
