Life for a Child Support
Commenced 2003
Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in South America. Quality medical care is available, but the Government is unable to provide this for free – all people with diabetes must pay for insulin, monitoring, and clinical care. Many families are unable to purchase adequate insulin, and self-monitoring is often impossible. Children have died from lack of insulin, and complications such as kidney failure, retinopathy and cataracts are common even in adolescents.
The Centro Vivir con Diabetes in Cochabamba opened in 2000, and has a multidisciplinary team including endocrinologist, educator, social worker, physiotherapist and other expert staff. The centre provides quality care for children with diabetes in the Cochabamba region, and mentors or assists programs for children in most other cities in Bolivia - Santa Cruz, La Paz, Cochabamba, Sucre, Oruro, Tarija, Potosi, Bini, and Pando. Life for a Child joined with Rotary Clubs in Florida to support this network via a Rotary Matching Grant in 2003. Funds covered insulin, monitoring, and education, for the 100 children and youth then known with diabetes.
After the completion of the grant period in 2005, Life for a Child has continued to supply insulin for the 140 children and youth in need in the country, through Insulin for Life. From 2007, corporate support has enabled the provision of meters and strips for all children, so that they can monitor their blood sugar level three times a day. LFAC provided a HbA1c machine to the Vivir con Diabetes Centre, so that HbA1c measurement can be done while the child/youth is being seen in the clinic, helping with education and management.
As of January 2012, 160 children and youth are being supported.

Amazing Ferrofluids
License: CC BY-NC 3.0
Is this your idea of a magnet? Can you imagine a magnet in the liquid state? How do you think a liquid magnet would behave if you brought it near a horseshoe magnet like the one above?
Amazing but True!
- Believe it or not, liquid magnets actually do exist. They are called ferrofluids. They are a mixture of a liquid such as water and extremely small particles of a magnetic material.
- Because they can be controlled by a magnetic field, ferrofluids have many real-world applications. Can you predict what some of their uses might be?
- Ferrofluids have unusual behaviors when placed in a magnetic field. Watch this amazing video to see what a ferrofluid does when attracted by a magnet:

Minty Mojitos
The secret to a good mojito is lots of fresh mint. Habana Restaurant in San Francisco goes through 100 pounds of mint a week to make 1,000 mojitos.
Levende Lounge, also in San Francisco, crushes even more fresh mint leaves for each drink.
Inspired by both recipes, we developed this simplified home-style mojito that follows their minty lead.

Well I closed out another turkey season on Saturday.
I guided/called for a friend. We called 4 gobblers in off the roost, only to have them hang up 30 yds away in cover! I was 4-6' behind my friend and I had a clear shot (but no gun or tag) while he was blocked by a fence post and some brush. Later we moved on some birds that would not respond to calling but came up short. And that was it for me.
I was able to log 14 days in the woods in 2 states. I tagged three mature toms, including by biggest ever (77 NWTF).
But an equal part of the story was the diffaculty of the season. Numbers were down on several of the places I hunted, weather was lousy, and my batting average as a guide took a nose dive. My first friend missed 4 times, my daughter and I got skunked on her first outing ever, my son and I got busted by jakes, my father and I went gobbleless for two days, and I described my last hunt above. And worst of all, I missed for the first time in 5 years!
You know what? I wouldn't trade a second of it. Every sunrise, every wiff of spring air and every walk in the woods touched my soul. I think it was St. Thomas Aquinas that said the beauty of nature calls us to look deeper into God's love and power. I look forward to the recall of all the memories and a deeper understanding of who He has called me to be. I hope and pray that all of you share the same peace.
So what about the rest of you. Your thoughts on the end of the season?

Big Tits, Comedy, Drama, Random References to other anime, and the quiet pain of solitude. The events of the world are linked to the source of fortune each individual has. One individual seems to have far too much and the gods see fit to recalibrate the balance. Beautiful animation, pumped up jams, and variation make this anime enjoyable visually and musically with what seems like no effort. The story hindges on the characters, which could be more fleshed out, but still develop in their own manner. Bottom line, this anime is funny. However, it does get touchy feely... See full review
Life is hard. Life is not fair. Life still has moments of undying beauty that can change your life even if the ending doesn't go as you intend. This anime is a bit of a niche for a number of reasons. One being it is a collection of short stories, most anime don't operate that may. Two being the theme of the short stories, Distance. Many shows deal with distance but usually not in a manner as focused as this anime. Three being it is a slow paced show, one without action that says a lot with setting and music.
The stories presented here are touching. Spoilers, they are also hard to handle for some... See full review
Introduction Warning, this anime is different. It is very different. It is not for everybody. It is slow and thought out and complex. It may be a bumpy ride if you are prepared to zone out and not use your brain. This anime is best to not watch alone, talking it out can help plus this is so crazy you'll want to share the experience with a friend. That being said, The real review begins now. Animation It looks pretty good, it really does. It is terribly honest in its style and has older folks actually looking wrinkly and saggy. Sometimes the animation shows some flaws but...

Oh man. Really didn't know what to expect going into this. I had no idea I was walking into a dinosaur anime movie. What a great surpise. This story is really touching to all ages, it has a tone about it that is easy to relate to. If you have two hours and some friends (or not, that's cool too) you shouldn't be reading this review, you should be watching that movie. This movie is super delightful! Give it a chance sometime, you may be pleasantly surpised.See full review
Death Billiards is only one episode long, but that one episode does a pretty good job of defining itself. Two individuals find themselves in an odd situtation with odd consequnces. Ladies and Gentleman, the game is billiards. This show looks great at every moment. Sound and music work well and overall the presentation is great. The characters are a little bit bleak but it is to be expected when characters only have one episode be explored. I think this show would work better an a one episode experience over a whole show but that is because the premise is a bit hard to work with. Overall this is short, but... See full review
Black Cat is a bit of a ridiculous story. At times it feels like it could or should end but instead becomes more complex and cotinues. Some of the characters go through some rather impacting changes. The show looks okay. Battles don't usually last very long but are still enjoyable. The characters in this show have a lot of potential. One character specifically changes dramatically. Personally, I think Sven has an aura about him that is hard to beat. Overall, this show is pretty solid. It may mix things up in a negative way but at least it goes all out in the process. This show is pretty episodic... See full review
WARNING: Do not watch this if you do not like to think while watching anime. This show has so much going on and has so much to teach that it can get confusing. Thinking and or reflection may be required. To begin with, this is not your ordinary anime, do not expect something you've seen a hundred times. This story is colossal, brutal, and sensative in meaningful ways. This review may have minor spoilers but that is due to the pacing of the show. Since each new development in the show is so important and constantly building off of a central plot line, in order for you to hear about anything past the... See full review
This season continues after the last one with confusion. It starts off trying to confuse the viewer with misinformation. That being said, most of this season is informative, clearing up questions from the last season. (minor spoilers) Ultimately it seems to wrap everything up yet there are more seasons after this! Characters get more two-dimensional in this season and rarely step out of their expected range. The main character is different from the first season and tries to play like it was always that way. The opening is the old one played backwards and the rest of the music is as expected. Even though... See full review
Good old fashioned story telling. Mushishi is something not everybody will like, it is slow, doesn't have a lot of action, and no panty shots; it is different from a lot of anime out there. That being said, Mushishi spends its time in the moment, building a story, ending a story, and doing it all over again. This show can be watched out of order if necessary. Each episode is something special to be enjoyed. The characters are not the flamboyant characters you usually see in anime however; there are some really unique characters here, primarily Ginko, the stories protagonist. Our hero sticks to his...

Higurashi season one (the first 26 episodes) may seem like kind of an a$$hole of a season. I say that because nobody is trust worthy, it feels as though the only point of the show is to watch seriously messed up scenarios that continue even though logically they are conflicting. This will be cleared up as you continue to watch season two. How about the characters? Well, they change from arc to arc which feels insulting to me considering the consistency of the characters is so vapid. This too becomes a bit more cleared up in later episodes. Animation-wise it looks fine, and actually only gets better... See full review
This show is exceptional! The story/ environment is so much fun. It is a strange world full of questions and new ways of living. This anime is short and that is good! This anime does what it needs to and closes itself without going on forever and ever. I don't want to ruin anything for you so I'll say that this show is well thought out and legitamate, it looks, sounds, and feels great! Watch this. 9/10 for a great experience all the way/See full review
Masterpiece. Must watch the series first. The end of the show was a bit confusing. The movie is a bit confusing as well and creates new questions but it answers many bigger questions. This makes really wants you to look at yourself and think HARD. Thank Jebus for that! If you've seen the show, it is pretty much a better and more thought out ending. I essentially consider this a part of the show, not a standalone movie thingy. Keep that is mind and enjoy!See full review
Lighthearted and full of adventure. Reminds me of my childhood imagination. This anime could've turned into something crappy quickly but managed to grab a hold of the reins and keep entertaining. Change happens, and this show knows it. I expected the same thing every episode and was happily surprised when that did not happen. Worth watching.See full review
The real quality that makes this anime an instant favorite of mine is the way in which it asks questions; questions about trust, questions about who we are, questions about what made us the way we are. These questions are not something most shows push for. The anime starts out pretty slow and the English voice acting may be bad but somehow becomes more comfortable in time. The animation is a little dated but still surprisingly good in some parts (especially later on). The music is soft, lots of piano and violins. Later in the series classical music is incorporated and it is a gloriously majestic... See full review
This anime is very exaggerated and over the top in most ways. It is still fairly entertaining but at times you may question why you are watching it or why these characters are the way they are. Not much going on with the story, there is constant strife and everyone will be fighting pretty much at all times, that is also the good news, it looks good. Overall it is okay.See full review
This anime contucts itself the way an anime should. It introduces you to the characters present but allows them to be apart of something bigger while maintaining their quarky roles. The story actually has a progession to it, there isn't a moment of epiphany where everything makes since, everything happens over the time, just like in real life. The story places itself around the characters and the two develop in unison pushing each other forward with baby steps. The characters all look fastly different and you'll rarly mix characters up. Everything is smooth and looks excellent, this works with the... See full review
The story develops and changes as the movie goes on. I won't spoil anything but the stroy progresses along with the characters through a sense of harmonization that binds the two aspects together. It looks a tiny bit old but with the style of the castle and the environments around them you can't complain. The theme is so unforgettable and moving. It feels as though it comes from the characters themselves and matches with them exactly as a song should. The characters grow quickly and always have more to them than meets the eye. Learning more about each character shows the depth hidden within them... See full review
The animation looks really good except for some weird angles from swords and things. If you pay close attention you can see that it is slightly flawed but aside from that it looks great and combat when it is around, is entertaining and pretty legit. The sound and music is solid. The characters get along really well and are pretty well thought out. The story starts out confusing because it starts near the end and then backtracks which is really the best way to handle what happens. It is done well. There are a few moments that make no sense. At one point a character comments on the unnecessary... See full review
Complex, elaborate, and legit. Baccano throws you around and around and expects you to eventually follow. Expect lots of characters and lots of time changes. The animation looks good and the english voices are just about all fantastic. The characters are always consistant and react great when put near each other. The music is a lot of fun. Just about everything about this is great. It would easily thrive in just about any form of media. 9.3/10See full review
A quaint story about a girl who moves to rome and is romanced by a little resturant hidden in rome. Charming, calm, sophisticated. Very different from normal anime. Not for everyone, not really geared for the younger kids.
The animation looks great and occationaly incorperates some 3D animation. Some of the textures look different and look really interesting. The music always fits as they intend. The characters are delightful and their own, some will even surprise. If you love wine, rome, or other cultures you will enjoy this! It is however a tiny bit slow. Only 11 episodes; wish there were... See full review
Very twisted and bloody. Bold, in what it attempts to do, this anime is not afraid to jump forwatd 40 years without warning. Solid music. It fits really well and even stands alone as a great soundtrack. Animation looks great. A mix of action and drama/investigation. Story can get odd and a little confusing. Episodes are longer than normal episodes. Worth watching if you are curious what animes are capable of but be wary of how bloody and messed up this will get. 8/10 worth watching but be ready for it!See full review
This is a sequel to "To Love Ru" which is about a boy that ends up having a pink haired hotty from another planet live with him. This sequel continues with his life and all the chicks around him. They're gonna get naked... a lot. This season in pretty "Shameless" and will show you boobs all the time. It really isn't necessary to see nearly every females chest parts.
Each episode has 3 parts to it so they are all short and hold almost no significance or continued plot. It gets pretty old quick. Some of the characters are neat, most are the exact same in every situation. The... See full review
This will be one quick review. Basically, this anime is pretty terrible however, it is kinda sweet and totally silly at the same time. Main character somehow gets himself married to a chick from another planet and if he doesn't marry her the planet will be destroyed but he likes this quiet chick at his school. Yeah, very ecchi. Boobs in face/ boob jokes/ random reason to look at girls boobs events happen all the time. Somehow I still like this show. The intro song is fun and great. But really, this anime is super wacky and fun and somehow better than a lot of other ecchi. It is surprisingly sweet... See full review
This anime is fun. Period. I missed it when growing up and decided I needed to go back and see what all the fuss was about. Turns out this anime is great. It captures that sense of heroic glory every kid wants growing up. The story is basically a man comes into possession of a ship and is for searching goes on a huge treasure hunt. The animation is kinda old (it is currently 2012) but it still looks good and gets a little better after episode 13. The music is a lot of. It fits the feel of the anime very well. The english voices are actually pretty enjoyable and I love when Melfina sings the... See full review
I played a fair amount of this game before I started the anime so I already knew what I was getting myself into. The story can be referenced as similar to true experiences throughout history. In a nutshell you follow Squad 7 as they fight to defend Gallia in a war set environment. The animation has a unique stlye to it. It looks kind of scratched or rubbed, after a while you won't notice it. I really like it, everyone in a while you'll re-notice it and that is pretty neat. I really enjoy the 2nd opening. The sound is spot on and solid. I watched this subbed and the voices were all really great. Welkin... See full review
Story=ninja's except it's not terrible and chilidish and isn't afraid to have people die. Enough said. I really liked the style of animation this show incorperates. If you pay attention to the backgrounds you'll understand what I mean, some look like still frames of painting, very pretty. Besides that The animtion looks really good and so does the combat, no crappy suspended pictures, the fights actually look like fights and not still shots of special moves. I really really like the intro and outro. The music for the credits was mighty. I watched this in english (on netflix) therefore my... See full review
I didn't hate it. Lets start there. Story is okay, (minor spoilers) you've got a pcincess who accidentally switches bodies with a bad ass mercinary, that's the majority of it. The animation looks good actually but action isn't very long, they spend most of the battles with still frame shots that show someone doing some sort of attack.

Nothing jittery or wrong with it, they even dabble with some slow-mo and fun neat tricks. The sound is great.

Chapter 3: Materials of Earth's Crust
What is Earth's crust made of?
The best way to learn about Earth's crust would be to travel around the world, viewing minerals, rocks and structures in a variety of places to see what they are and how they can be coaxed into telling Earth's story. A simpler thing to do to learn a lot about Earth materials is to visit a museum. In a museum you can see lots of samples with good explanations of what they are and, more importantly, what they tell scientists about our planet. So the next time you're in a major city, find a way to spend a few hours in a natural history museum! In this chapter we'll learn about a variety of Earth materials.

Chapter Summary
All matter is made of tiny particles. Protons, neutrons, and electrons form atoms that bond together to create molecules. Atoms are the smallest units that have the properties of the element they are and molecules are the smallest units of a compound. For example, water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, but a molecule of water is very different from an atom of hydrogen or an atom of oxygen. The atoms combine to form molecules by different types of chemical bonding. Molecules bond into structures as well. The structures created by molecules form the different types of minerals, most importantly silicates, which are the substances that make up most of Earth's crust. Other important minerals are carbonates and native elements, which are some of the most important materials used by society. Minerals come together to create the three major rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. These rocks are the material part of the rock cycle. Different processes can convert any type of rock into any other type of rock. These processes include weathering and erosion, melting and cooling, and burial and pressure, among others. Each rock contains a story of how it formed and what it formed from. Geologists piece together these stories to understand the geologic past of any region of our planet and of the planet as a whole.

But there's a subtle bug in the Python design. Consider tree traversal:
def inorder(t): if (t.left != None): for (node in inorder(t.left)): yield node yield t if (t.right != None): for (node in inorder(t.right)): yield nodeIf you study this carefully, you'll see that (unless the optimizer intervenes), Python has turned a perfectly good O(N) tree traversal into an O(N log N) traversal.
How to Fix It. I'm probably going to write a paper with the details, and try to get it published, but here's the crux of the matter.
Python insists on performing the two subiterations manually, and on returning their output unchanged. But if you stack enough of these iterations on top of each other, you can kiss your performance goodbye (both asymptotically and cycle-wise).
Instead, you need to transfer control to your subiterations:
def inorder(t): if (t.left != None): yield_all inorder(t.left) yield t if (t.right != None): yield_all inorder(t.right):Now the compiler has a fighting change to optimize a deep stack of iterators into reasonable code.
It turns out that you can formulate such concepts as self-recursive iterators, tail-called iterators, etc., and apply optimization techniques analogous to those used by LISP compilers to optimize function calls. What's worse, you can actually implement all of this using a portable C back-end to your compiler. :-)

A summer delight: Chicken Salad
This chicken salad is a favorite at our house; it's one even my menfolk like. The fruit and touch of curry make it a little unusual and the abundance of chicken makes it hearty enough for a summer supper.
The recipe came my way from my Mom's and More days at Elmbrook Church. (Child is now 20 so I have had it a while!) It has also undergone a few tweaks and additions over the years. Hope you give it a try.
The Recipe: Makes enough to serve 4. The ingredients I changed or added are in italics.
3 Cups cooked chicken, cut up. (If I am making this for our supper, I use one chicken breast per person. If it is just a side dish or for a pot luck supper, the 3 cups are fine.)
1/2 Cup diced celery
Red and/or green grapes, about 2 Cups total.
20 ounces pineapple chunks, drained or use fresh pineapple if you have it. Fresh is better.
Cooked rotini or shell pasta. These days I am trying to cut down on empty carbs so I might use about 1/2 pound of pasta for the whole salad. Pasta may be omitted all together if you like.
1/2 cup diced peeled and seeded cucumber
1/2 cup or more toasted and salted slivered almonds. I like salted cashews better.
The dressing:
1/2 Cup mayonnaise (I use the less fat kind or mid-grade as I call it not no fat. Aldi's worked fine.)
1/2 Cup sour cream (Sour half and half works fine.)
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/8th to 1/4th teaspoon of curry powder
salt to taste
Stir dressing ingredients together and toss with chicken, fruit, vegetables, and pasta. Garnish with the nuts on top. If you wanted to increase your veggie count, serve on a bed of lettuce.
I think this salad tastes best out on the patio with a tall glass of iced tea. Enjoy!

He looks kind of lonely here, too. Do you think he's planning on dipping his Gameboy Advance-esque device into his ketchup?
With a Brita pitcher, no less. Um, Vader? Hate to break it to you, but salt water's no good for drinking. Not even if it's been through a Brita. Sorry. Pleas don't kill me.
No, Darth Vader hasn't been decapitated, and no, his head hasn't been mounted on a spike as a warning to others. You know what this is? It's Art. With a Capital A. The Vader Project sent out Darth Vader helmets to 100 artists and designers to do with as they wished, and this was the result. Neat-o!
With Yoda on his lap, nonetheless. Actually, come to think of it, the Yoda bit may be more unexpected than the sand bit.
Little-known fact: Vader is quite the fan of this great American pastime.
What? Sith Lords need to unwind occasionally, too.
That was made by his mom, no less.
Perhaps this may have been more surprising had he been, say, having a beer with Kirk instead of throttling him.
Darth Vader and the Apostles were tight, yo.
Lightsabers have to come from somewhere.
Don't even think about eliminating him. OR ELSE.
Hopper had a number of impressive subjects, including Batman and Ronald McDonald.
I wonder if he found Princess Beatrice's hat while he was there?

Bruins Look to Continue Run in Colorado
Posted on 22 Jan 2011 by Matt Preston.
What exactly did I miss? Twelve days ago I was sitting on my couch watching the Bruins, fresh off their last minute debacle in Montreal, fall behind the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-0. At the time I was about halfway through penning my sixth straight hate-piece on my beloved Bruins and I just could not do it. I erased what I wrote, shut the television went off and it was time to devote my attentions ...

Best game 2011: 8th Pocket-lint Awards nominees
We enjoy a good game over at Pocket-lint. We are masters of everything from Mousetrap, to Scrabble and even Mastermind. Hours are spent in our custom built gaming room throwing dice and building up fortunes from paper play money ... or not.
What we do like however is turning on the games console, slamming in a disc and getting to work on a good video game. None more so than this year, with 2011 seeing an incredible range of triple A titles released, particularly toward the end of the year. So many in fact that we couldn't fit them all in, however there is, thanks to your voting, a top five with which we need you to nominate. In the meantime why not read a quick round up on each in order to make the vote easier.
Batman: Arkham City
Not many have much faith in superhero games these days. That was until Arkham Asylum arrived in 2009. The game was universally well received and brought developer Rocksteady to the forefront of current generation gaming.
Then they announced Arkhum City and it immediately became one of the most hyped games of 2011. So much was placed on this game performing that prior to its release we were worried our own expectations might lead to a disappointment. Not so, it delivered on just about every front, upping its predecessor with an open world superhero experience like no other. The dark knight truly returned with this one.
Forza Motorsport 4
Xbox 360 owners got a real treat this year in the form of Forza 4. Feeling very much like the game that Gran Turismo 5 should have been, it capitalised on everything current gen hardware could offer. The result was a complete racing package unique to the Xbox.
Top Gear branding, coupled with fully modelled interiors to every car in the game, meant that you got to immerse yourself completely in the world of motoring. It looked great, sounded great and played even better. Forza 4 was a definite winner.
Fifa 12
Fifa is a franchise that is getting better with just about every release. It is now starting to leave PES for dust and the latest edition; 2012 has widened that gap plenty further.
A rethought defence mechanic, which no longer allowed the computer to auto defend for you, really upped the difficulty. Then there was a much better collision detection engine and realistic player reactions to tackles. This resulted in a more fluid and more accurate style of play.
Graphically the game took a step up as well, players looking more and more like their real life counterparts. Good effort from EA Sports it has to be said.
Battlefield 3
- Price
- £40
- Released
- Oct 2011
- PL review score
- 4.5 stars
Battlefield 3 finally released its graphical wizardry upon us in October 2011. Sure consoles weren't quite up to the standards of PC, but for those who could play it top whack, what a looker it was. Couple that with some of the best fps multiplayer we have played in a long time and you are guaranteed a rather special experience.
We just cant stop coming back to Battlefield 3's multiplayer. It has strange powers over us, partly we think because it just feels that little bit easier to get into and more fresh than the rest. We also have to give praise to the audio work, which is absolutely unbelievable.
LA Noire
- Price
- £19
- Released
- May 2011
- PL review score
- 4 stars
LA Noire proved yet again that Rockstar only accepts the best. Everything from its cutting edge facial animation technology, to the detailed recreation of LA and the characters within it, shone with polish.
A game that kept everyone talking for months after and left many wanting to see what its developers could possibly do next. Special mention has to go to the style and cinematic feel of this game.
It was the first time we have ever put something into our console and felt like we were interacting with a movie. Characters were very complete and their facial animations, particularly toward the end, had us genuinely connecting with them. Great job Team Bondi.

Natalia GONCHAROVA
Natalia Sergeevna Goncharova (b Nagayevo, Tula province, Russia, 4 June 1881 – d Paris, 17 October 1962) began studying sculpture at the Moscow Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in 1898—where she met Mikhail Larionov, who was to become her lifelong partner—before taking up painting. While there she focused on Eastern and Byzantine art, Russian folk art—particularly lubok prints and icon paintings—as well as embroidery and fabric design, all important influences on her Neo-Primitive style.
Included in Diaghilev's 1906 Russian exhibition at the Salon d'Automne in Paris, she exhibited with many important Russian modernist movements—the Union of Youth, St Petersburg (1910), as co-organiser of the Knave of Diamonds exhibition, Moscow (1910); and the Target exhibition, Moscow (1913).
Goncharova was first commissioned by Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes production of Le Coq d'or in 1913. She later joined the company in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1915, designing for Liturgie. She also redesigned several ballets for Diaghilev—reforming her own Russian folk style to a starkly Futurist style for Les Noces (1923) at the request of Bronislava Nijinska and also changing the 1910 L'Oiseau de feu designs for the 1926 revival.
After de Basil's reformation of the Ballets Russes, Goncharova was commissioned to create new designs for the 1937 Covent Garden London revival of Le Coq d'or, and costumes and set designs for Cinderella (1938). During the Second World War, Goncharova designed ten ballets for Boris Kniaseff that were shown in South America, and afterward designed for opera and ballet productions in London and Paris.

I started at Virginia Tech in August of 1991. Except for a six months in 2005, I have lived in Blacksburg since then and been a student off and on throughout that time. I am working on my Ph.D., but am still, technically, an undergrad.
Throughout all of these years, I have told people that "I go to Virginia Tech, but I am not a 'Hokie.'" I acquainted that term with the mascot, the "Hokie Pride" phenomenon, and, generally, team sports. As with many in the geek community, I've never really been much on those concepts.
The tragedy yesterday changed all of that. Yesterday, I became a Hokie. Today, I am a Hokie. Tomorrow, I will be a Hokie. Now, I am forever a Hokie.

RAW INTERVIEW: Beau Baldwin pre-Wagner
Cheney, WA - The Eastern Washington University football team has faced a lot of adverse situations on the field in the 2012 season, however, those were not even close to the degree of adversity Wagner College had to overcome a month ago.
But the end of the season for one of those schools will occur this Saturday (Dec. 1) as the Eagles and Seahawks battle in a second-round game in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs at Roos Field in Cheney, Wash. Kickoff has been set for 3:05 p.m. Pacific time in a game broadcast live on ESPN3.
The radio broadcast of this week's game, featuring Larry Weir, Paul Sorensen and Keith Osso, starts 1 1/2 hours prior to kickoff with the Eagle Tailgate Show. It may be heard on 700-AM ESPN, via the web at www.700espn.com and via iPhone application (search for "700 ESPN" and download the free app). The broadcast is also available via www.tunein.com and tunein's mobile phone app.RAW INTERVIEW: Beau Baldwin pre-Wagner
Wagner, coming off a 31-20 win over Colgate in the first round of the playoffs, is now 9-3 and shared the Northeast Conference title with a 7-1 mark. The Seahawks have won nine-straight games after a 0-3 start, including a 30-0 win over Albany to earn the league's automatic berth.
Located in Staten Island, N.Y., Wagner registered its impressive victory over Albany in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Evacuated from campus for three days, the team missed a practice, prepared without the benefit of electricity, dressed in a dark locker room and had no hot water leading up to the Albany game. But they were the fortunate ones on hard-hit Staten Island, and the team spent time to help in the recovery efforts.
With a penchant for pulling out victories, the Eagles will enter the game 9-2 overall this season, and captured a share of the Big Sky Conference title and the league's automatic playoff berth with a 7-1 league record. Of Eastern's seven Big Sky wins this season, six came by a combined margin of 28 points – one by seven points, two six-point wins and a trio by just three points. On the other side of the coin, the Eagles are only seven points from an unbeaten season, having last-possession chances to pull out wins in both of their losses.
"I think without question it will help us," head coach Beau Baldwin said of EWU's close games. "We are going to go through moments where things are not going great and we are facing adversity, and winning those tough ballgames helps. It does during the week of practice and it does during game days -- we find ways to come out on top."
Eastern has never played Wagner – a member of FCS since 1992 -- or a team from the Northeast Conference. The Seahawks are led by NEC Coach of the Year Walt Hameline, a veteran of 32 seasons as head coach at Wagner. He led Wagner to the 1987 NCAA Division III Championship and has won a total 213 games in his career (213-126-2).
His 2012 team had five first-team All-Northeast Conference selections, including quarterback Nick Doscher, running back Dominque Williams, offensive lineman Steve Ciocci, defensive back Jarrett Dieudonne and return specialist Otis Wright. Two other defensive backs and a linebacker were named to the second team.
The Seahawks rank sixth in FCS in scoring defense (16.6 points per game) and 11th in passing defense (164.9 per game). That will provide a challenge for an Eastern offense currently ranked 26th in scoring offense (31.8) and 10th in passing offense (298.8 yards per game).
In Wagner's win over Colgate, the Seahawks held the second-best offense in FCS to 296 yards after entering the game averaging 503.7. Colgate's Walter Payton Award candidate, Gavin McCarney, had 216 yards of the team's offense (97 rushing, 119 passing). But that was well below his average of 323.8 per game, which ranked seventh in FCS.
"Ultimately, we have to find a way to win," said Baldwin, who will be making his fifth playoff appearance as either an Eastern assistant coach (2004, 2005) or head coach (2009, 2010, 2012). "We have played a lot of close games this year in one of the toughest conferences in the country, which hopefully puts us in a good position. We are just excited about the one we are going to play this week."
Tickets continue to be sold for the game, and cost $20 for premium seating in sections C&D, $15 for sections A/B/E&F, $15 for end zone and $10 for east side seating (behind visitor bench). Tickets may be purchased via ww.ticketswest.com or 1-800-325-Seat. Season ticket holders and fans who purchase first-round tickets get preference for purchasing tickets in subsequent rounds, but a commitment to purchase must be made.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Mind boggling.... worth watching
I saw the show, I thought they did a good job highlighting the absurdity of the restoration efforts. I wonder if George Dubya was watching, his stump speech in the Northwest included lines like "we can engineer solutions that will restore salmon while keeping the dams." Must've been written with help from the Army corps. I guess GW wasn't a history major.
Last I heard, the various agencies are now spending $500 million per year on Columbia River salmon restoration projects- although a significant part of that is in "lost hydropower revenues". Columbia River hatcheries release about 200 million smolts (salmon + steelies) per year, and they've been getting 1-2 million returning adults per year in the recent past.
By weight, the hatchery biomass output is more than the biomass returning!
Anyway, that kind of spending makes removing the Elwha Dams sound pretty cheap at two hundred mil to complete the entire project. It's a shame because I think the prospects for success are quite a bit higher on the Elwha than they are on the Columbia.
Mind boggling.... worth watching
Anyone catch the segment on 60 Minutes last night?
Air date: November 19, 2000
60 Minutes' synopsis: "Fish Fuss: The government's multibillion dollar effort to save the salmon of the Pacific Northwest is failing, so residents there may soon have to choose between the fish or the hydroelectric dams that are killing scores of them. Lesley Stahl reports. Karen Sughrue is the producer."

- Description
The Fern Room at the 100-year old Garfield Park Conservatory is both an historical and botanical treasure. Conceived by renowned landscape architect Jens Jensen as a "landscape under glass," the room, shows what an Illinois landscape might have looked like millions of years ago. Jensen's artistic stonework sets off several water features, including a Mendelssohn-inspired waterfall. The room holds more than 150 species of ferns and mosses, as well as many palm-like cycads, one of the oldest species of plants on earth.

In case you hadn't heard, Thanksgiving is tomorrow. While the holiday is being quickly overtaken by the surge of Black Friday deals (which is really a misnomer given its entire consumption of the entire week), there are purists among us for whom tomorrow's meal still takes the spotlight.
Whether you're preparing to wake at the crack of dawn to get the bird ready or figure you'll wing it (pun intended), these apps can help keep your kitchen chaos free. We can't promise they'll do as much for the rest of your holiday, but take what you can get.
Chow Thanksgiving Dinner Coach, free
Chow made our round up last year and makes another appearance for good reason. It's one of the most comprehensive and specific Thanksgiving dinner apps out there, made specifically with all your traditional dishes in mind. The app collects your recipes, keeps a shopping list (which you can cross items off with a simple finger swipe), display total cooking times, and runs you through the entire process.
Food on the Table, free
This is another holdover from last year, and one that often makes food and cooking app roundups. Food on the Table (which there's also a Web app for) allows you to make weekly menus and then budget for them – entering your location will also surface grocery store sales. Using the app in-store, your grocery list will organize itself by category as well, so you don't have to wander from the produce section back to the bakery multiple times.
The Photo Cookbook, $3.99
We're not going to lie: The first reason we noticed this app was because it's so damn good looking. Food porn addicts rejoice, because this is the cooking app for you. The Photo Cookbook displays gorgeous photos of food as well as their ingredients, portioned and laid out in front of your eyes so you can see exactly what's going into the amazing end creation. Sure, there are more than enough pictures of food out there, but this app injects some much-needed practicality into them. It's also a nice option for visual learners who'd rather see step-by-step instructions drawn out for them.
GoodFood Festive Recipes, $2.99
If you're looking for holiday recipe ideas, look no further. What's great about this app is that in addition to your standard fare, there are some unique twists on old favorites – like a cider roasted turkey, or Christmas pudding cake pops. You can save favorites and turn them into shopping lists as well. The app also includes a timer function.
Timegg, $0.99
While the previous app might come with a timer feature, not every cooking app does (which is sort of baffling, but what are you going to do?). If your favorite app doesn't sport this necessary element, Timegg has absolutely everything you need. You can set up to eight different alarms, which some cooks may actually need come Thursday, and create preset timers if you know you'll be using specific ones repeatedly.
Appetites, $0.99
This sleek and stunning app has prepared for Thanksgiving with a price cut and 18 new festive recipes. Appetites pairs you with individual chefs, who take you through cooking classes instead of just throwing up a pretty picture, a listed recipe, and leaving you to your own devices (or destruction). Videos are short and focus on individual steps, so you can progress through a recipe at your own speed. Note, however, that while the app is $0.99, there are in-app purchases for certain recipes – though it comes with a collection of 30 videos to start with.
Kitchenator, $0.99
Kitchenator provides a simple but necessary epicurean need: measurement conversion. If you're working from specific recipes that aren't translated to your appliance needs, simply whip out this app and let it do all the work for you. It's a nice tool to have on hand just in case, because links can get dicey if you don't pay attention to your ingredients.
Blush, free
For those of us who either don't know much about wine, don't care to learn, but would like something that … you know … tastes good and complements dinner, Blush could not be an easier option. You can keep things incredibly simple asking for recommendations based on the meal, the price, or just personal taste. And for those of us who answer with a color when someone asks us what we want to drink, the app even lets you start off by choosing if you want red or white – it definitely looks out for the noobs among us.
No Time to Cook?, $4.99
If you're a classic procrastinator who left Thanksgiving to the last minute, you might want this app in your arsenal. If you're in charge of bringing a side dish to this year's meal, the app first asks you what type of food you're making, how much time you have, and then gives you a recipe you can complete in that amount of time. Now if you were supposed to be cooking the turkey, you might be in trouble – otherwise, it could save you the embarrassment of bringing potato salad from the deli. Again.

"What's the difference between a paper plane and a paper space plane? Altitude! About 125,000 feet to be precise:
The balloon, filled with helium gas and carrying a load of paper planes, took 2.6 hours to rise to 37,339 metres (that's at the edge of space!), where it burst and took only 40 minutes to fall back to earth. It landed in a forest just south east of Berlin, where our team had to use a very long pole to retrieve the payload from the top of a tree.
The hand-crafted paper planes with their precious cargo of Samsung SD memory cards were released at around 36,3500 metres and could land anywhere..."

An Even Smaller Pocket Projector
|10:11:08 PM, Wednesday, January 26, 2011
"Researchers in Germany have developed the world's thinnest "pico" video projector. The prototype device contains an array of carefully shaped microlenses, each with its own miniature liquid-crystal display (LCD). The device is just six millimeters thick, but it produces images that are 10 times brighter than would normally be possible with such a small device.
Handheld pico projectors can be used to display movies, maps, or presentations on nearby surfaces. But the projections can be difficult to view in direct sunlight because the light source isn't very powerful. The new lens system is small enough to be incorporated into a slim smart phone.
Increasing the brightness of a projection normally means increasing the area of the light source used, says Marcel Sieler, a researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering in Germany. Sieler was involved with developing the prototype. But to increase the area in this way requires a thicker lens to focus the larger image. "As the area of the light source increases, so does the volume of the lens," says Sieler. The result is a much bigger projector…"

Fountain plunging idiot Cathy Cruz Marrero is suing the mall that allowed her to fall into its fountain when she was walking while texting. She might also sue the security guards that laughed at the video of her falling into the fountain while texting, because humans in mall security uniforms shouldn't be permitted to laugh at morons.
A moron from New York City is suing a Las Vegas escort service for almost $2 million. This is the aftermath of a very dumb phone call he placed to police complaining that his illegal prostitute ripped him off by having illegal sex with him, but not staying for the full three hours for which he paid. His outrage was understandable. Sure, he got the sex, but he paid good money to watch the hooker who just blew him sit around a shitty hotel bored out of her mind and texting people about the guy with the weird dick that looks like a mini-croissant who is staring right at her. Missing out on that? No wonder he called the cops and got himself in deep shit!
The biggest payday may be coming to a man, let's call him King Moron, who happens to be living in a trailer park in Key West, Florida.

Astronomy Picture of the Day: NGC 7293 The Helix Nebula
|8:31:39 PM, Wednesday, January 26, 2011
-- A mere seven hundred light years from Earth, in the constellation Aquarius, a sun-like star is dying. Its last few thousand years have produced the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), a well studied and nearby example of a Planetary Nebula, typical of this final phase of stellar evolution. A total of 10 hours of exposure time have gone in to creating this remarkably deep view of the nebula. It shows details of the Helix's brighter inner region, about 3 light-years across, but also follows fainter outer halo features that give the nebula a span of well over six light-years. The white dot at the Helix's center is this Planetary Nebula's hot, central star. A simple looking nebula at first glance, the Helix is now understood to have a surprisingly complex geometry.

Stained Glass Resistance: Portrait of Hitler Discovered in French Church Window
|3:38:02 PM, Wednesday, January 26, 2011
"A stained glass window in a small church has caused a sensation in France. Unveiled in 1941, it depicts Adolf Hitler executing a saint who symbolizes the Jewish people. Local priests have praised the work as a brave act of resistance against the Nazi occupiers.
In the popular imagination, the French Resistance against the Nazi occupation of France is associated with heroic acts of guerrilla warfare, such as blowing up bridges or derailing trains. But in one small town near Paris, two artist brothers also resisted the occupation in their own quiet way -- with a politically charged stained-glass window.
Local historians in the town of Montgeron have rediscovered a stained-glass church window that criticizes the Nazi occupation by depicting Adolf Hitler as an executioner. The dictator is shown in the act of killing St. James, who was one of Jesus' 12 apostles.
Although Hitler's distinctive hairstyle can easily be recognized in the portrait, his trademark moustache has been left out. "The glassmakers hid it behind his arm, to avoid any trouble," local priest Dominique Guérin told the French newspaper Le Parisien…"
Still No Government in Belgium: 226 Days and Counting

"289 is the world record of days without any government in a country, currently owned by Iraq. On March 30th 2011, Belgium will beat it!"
-- lerecorddumonde.be is a website dedicated solely to counting the days that Belgium has been operating without a government, a number that could soon dethrone Iraq from its "champion" position. I do not know if this is commendable that they held it together without an official government for so long, or criticized for their failure at forming one, - probably both. Either way, it is something significant.

Herbert to discuss incompetence, Nov. 8
Posted November 3, 2005; 11:49 a.m.
Bob Herbert, an award-winning op-ed columnist for The New York Times, will speak at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8, in McCosh 50.
His address is titled " The Consequences of Incompetence: The All-Too-Human Costs of Bad Thinking and Poor Decision-making by People in High Places."
Herbert is expected to discuss how recent events, including the war in Iraq and the damage wrought by Hurricane Katrina, have provided dramatic examples of the human consequences that can result from bad decision-making and outright incompetence by public officials and others in positions of authority.
Herbert was a reporter with the Star-Ledger in Newark, a reporter and editorial board member at The New York Daily News and a national correspondent for NBC before joining The New York Times in 1993. His columns focus on politics, urban affairs and social trends. He has won numerous awards, including the Meyer Berger Award and the American Society of Newspaper Editors Award for distinguished writing.
The talk, designated as the Stafford Little Lecture, is part of the University's Public Lecture Series.

An appeal hearing has been delayed for a former city councillor in Saint John, N.B., convicted of sexually abusing boys in that city and in Newfoundland, where he originally is from.
Donnie Snook was sentenced last September to 18 years in prison after pleading guilty to 46 charges, including sexual assault and possessing, distributing and making child pornography over a 12-year period.
His appeal was expected to be heard Monday in Fredericton, but the Appeal Court says the matter will be rescheduled for September at the earliest.
In filing his appeal last year, Snook said his sentence was unreasonable and in excess of the appropriate range.
The crimes involved 17 boys between the ages of five and 15 at the time of the offences.
Snook was arrested by the RCMP after an investigation that began in 2011.
Snook pleaded guilty in November last year to two counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference in Newfoundland.
Police said the offences occurred between Dec. 1, 1995, and August 1996 at or near Mount Moriah, N.L., and at or near Barachois Pond Provincial Park while Snook was working with the Salvation Army.
The Crown withdrew one count of sexual interference after a review of the case determined the victim was 15 at the time of the offence. The age of consent at that time was 14.
Snook pleaded guilty to the charges after they were transferred to New Brunswick provincial court from Newfoundland.
In December, 2013, three months in jail was added to his 18-year-sentence for the separate child sex offences in western Newfoundland.

Best Buy (BBY) was among the worst performers in the S&P 500 today, as the company rejected Richard Schulze's bid and named a new CEO.
The company and Schulze were sending out dueling press releases about the situation yesterday. Today, Best Buy said that Hubert Joly was taking over the top spot at the electronic chain. Joly was until last week the CEO of the hospitality and restaurant giant Carlson, whose holdings include the Radisson and T.G.I. Friday's. He stepped down to accept Best Buy's offer.
Joly, who is French, is expected to start in September after securing a work visa. He replaces board member G. Mike Mikan, who has served as interim CEO since this spring.
Schulze, Best Buy's founder who still owns about a 20% stake, said he was "disappointed and surprised" by the company's rejection of his buyout offer. He also weighed in on Joly's appointment, saying in a statement that "Hubert Joly is an accomplished executive. However, Best Buy continues to face enormous challenges and needs a clear plan and a proven leadership team with deep retail experience and knowledge of Best Buy to win back customers, inspire employees and reinvigorate its trusted brand. I will continue to pursue my proposal which will provide compelling value for shareholders and create new opportunities for customers and a bright future for Best Buy employees."
The stock was down more than 7% in afternoon trading.

Genndy Tartakovsky's crummy cartoon would suck under any circumstances, but its inadequacies are particularly glaring when it comes out the week before Tim Burton's macabre gem, Frankenweenie. Any film that has a poop, a fart, and two pee jokes during the opening credits is in trouble, especially with Adam Sandler in the cast. He voices the character of Count Chocula, sorry, I mean Dracula, who has built the title resort for monsters seeking refuge from humans. But his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) wants to venture outside, something the overprotective Count dreads. Enter Jonathan (Andy Samberg), a backpacking dolt who quickly proves Dracula's point that humans are worse than monsters, or at least more annoying. Tasteless and sentimental, yet unfunny and offensive (instead of do not disturb signs the doorknobs are hung with shrunken heads that talk in Amos and Andy voices), this is one film you don't want to take the kids to. Especially when paying extra bucks for the worst 3D of the year.

As you may have heard, there was a pretty big wedding in London, UK on Friday, April 29th, 2011.
While everyone was buzzing about a dress that looked like some other dress, a carriage that is over 100 years old (OLD!) and a convertible… there was one item that received very little attention and has pretty fantastic Canadian roots.
A specially commissioned tandem "Boris Bike" was gifted to the Royal couple by London's mayor, Boris Johnson.
Via Bike Hub:
The bike was paid for by Serco, operator of the London Bike Hire scheme, and made by the Public Bike System Company, the same Canandian company that makes the standard Boris Bikes.
The bikes used in London were first used by PBSC in Montreal, Canada and is known as the BIXI. The bikes are designed by industrial designer Michel Dallaire and built in the Saguenay, Quebec region by Cycles DeVinci.
The tandem has an oversized downtube, seven speed gears, an adapted braking system, a greater wheelbase (1800 mm vs 1111 mm) and two bells.
Roger Plamondon, chairman of the Public Bike System Company said:
"We are very proud of the work we have accomplished to make this special gift a reality and are delighted to find our BIXI at the heart of the royal festivities."
But why just a one off? With Toronto's Bixi launching on May 3rd let's get a couple of these on the streets for real!

WSVN just reported that in the NY Post, Marino admitted to a love affair with a baby. With all the scandals in sports, I hate to say that I'm not shocked. I guess I am becoming numb. Marino was my idol, still is. I hope his family stick it through
He's still and will ALWAYS be my hero..
just goes to show you , when we put people on a pedestal , some can handle it, and some forget their obligations to their Family and do stupid things. So do we pat him on the back and say that ok for you to cheat , Lie to his Family. Just as other future men that are going in the Hall, , Drug Use, Dog Killing , Rape, Murder cover up, < lets not forget we are all Human. we Do Make mistakes. I hope he can keep his Family , but I am Disappointed in him.
not approving of what he did but before we move forward in out thoughts lets not forget we do not know anything of his home life and relationship with his wife
Just about any day that you are hiking is A good day
this happened seven years ago,and apparantly his wife knew about it and stayed with him. No news here.....other than the new york post trying to embarass him.
Why are affairs still shocking to people? Hell, I'm more shocked when I see a couple manage to stay together and faithful for 40 years..... It would be wrong not to be dissappointed in Dan, but he's only human.
What always baffles me about these things, celebrities and their love-children, is that Marino has a mountain of money, this woman had a job, they're educated, probably worldly, they each can't afford or be bothered to concern themselves with obtaining proper birth control? Speaking from ONLY a PRACTICAL point of view, if you were going to enter into an affair, when you're a public figure, wouldn't you think to take every precaution to protect yourself, your money, and your reputation? If there's no child involved, this is a heresay incident and no one would ever know about it. I can't imagine the pressure of being a celebrity, good-looking guy like Marino, famous athlete, I'm sure he gets tempted more often than we can imagine. I don't judge someone like that too harshly about an indiscretion because I can't relate to his life, though I do understand the act of drawing a line regarding absolutes as far as this goes, but as I said, from just a common sense point of view, I'm stunned at the inability to protect themselves.
The pleasure of what we enjoy is lost by wanting more.

Earlier this month, we got our first look at David Beckham's new line of underwear called David Beckham Bodywear (due to hit H&M stores worldwide next month) but let's not forget that Becks has other products that he would like you to buy. As you may recall, last July Becks released his 7th fragrance called Homme and today we learn that he has a new smell on the way — Instinct Sport. Click below to check out the promo image for Instinct Sport and read all about this latest (and greatest?) Beckham scent.
Dynamic, modern, impulsive, energetic… This is how the new fragrance by David Beckham arriving on the market in March 2012 is announced. The fragrance is composed as energetic cocktail of notes characterized by its sensibility and temperament of a modern sports player. Instinct Sport introduces a mixture of elegant woody notes and airy ozone notes, and is crowned with citruses and fresh and gently spicy ginger accords. Top notes of the composition provide ginger, juicy mandarin and violet leaves. The heart develops in airy-fruity direction with a combination of ozone, apple and geranium, on a base of cashmeran, patchouli, sandalwood. Instinct Sport is a fragrance for charismatic men who enjoy life and are passionate for sports. The new flacon of Beckham's fragrance is colored in orange – the color of life, energy and positive emotions. The flacon is created in characteristic form of the previous masculine fragrance of David Beckham collection available as 30 and 50ml EDT. Besides EDT, David Beckham Instinct Sport collection includes accompanying perfumed body care products: deodorant 150ml and shampoo and shower gel 200ml.
As I've said many times before, I've yet to find a David Beckham fragrance that I really like … that said, I understand that these fragrances that Les Beckhams keep churning out are big money makers. Now, I know that not every product that Becks puts on the market can be advertised in the same way … but if he did release promo images that featured less clothing — kinda like the David Beckham Bodywear ads do — I think more people might be inclined to just give him their money, no matter what he was selling. I can think of a few people who would do that. Money in the bank, Becks … money in the bank.

I got an email today from a friend, he sent me some photos that MNF would not show due to commercials being more important!! Seriously, we are in a sad state of mind when this happens and not shown.
Those who attended the game said it was extremely emotional to see the entire bowl of the stadium turn red, white and blue. It took 90 workers two weeks to get all of the colored pages mounted under each seat. Each piece of card board had eye slits in them so the fans could hold up the colored sheet and watch the game through the eye slits.

A close second would likely be a mule deer hunt in Sonora,...and in fact, this one might win out over the Ocellated hunt once I thought about it a bit. Next on my list might be a Barren Ground caribou hunt. ....Of course, in money wasn't an issue, I would be doing all three of these,....and more!

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
In regards to mudding - usually the preferred tactic is to use a Big Heavy Fly and work the top end of the mud. Sometimes taking twenty too thirty shot's at the same general area. The Fish will be rooting in the mud and since you cannot see them you just have to hope they lift their snouts out of the sand and see your fly.
If you are talking about "little mud's" or "puff's" you have too follow the string of puff's to the Bonefish (sometimes 300 - 400 feet) - in my experience the little puffs are usually made by "Big Fish" and well worth the stalk.
I have not fished the Key's, even though I live in Florida - The Bahamas are too close, too productive, and cost about the same if you plan on flying from the Tampa area.
Tight Loops,
Mike -
I've been lucky enough to do the Keys bonefish trip a couple of times, what an awesome fishery. I saw fish mudding almost every afternoon/evening over at that public access (Annie's?) on Matecumbe. Never caught one from that spot, but boy were they kicking up some silt! I did get one on the hard shoal just to the right though.
It seemed when they were in the mud there was nothing on the flat. I see you do not prefer to fish them in the mud but what is the best method for these fish in the event that it's one's only choice sometimes?
[quote]Aaron (10-17-2000 07:52 p.m.):
I'm curious as to what your favorite bonefish flies are, and why.
I think that the most productive Bonefish Fly that I have thrown is the Gotcha. However, during my July trip to Harbour Island, I enjoyed three incredible day's of fishing using a pink and white version of Jim's Goldeneye Shrimp on the sand flats (even at tailers), and the traditional Jim's Golden eye over marl. The only draw back is if you prefer to fish Mud's or deep channels (which I do not).
RE:Favorite Bonefish flies
Aaron -
The only flies I really used a lot in two visits to the Keys were:
felt crab, crazy charlie, whitlock shrimp and gotcha's
I stuck mostly to the crazy charlie but the dull colored whitlock shrimp did the best for me on patchy bottoms.
I would sure like more time to explore the flats. I am targeting next winter with the wife, somewhere in the Bahamas in the deep of winter.
Favorite Bonefish flies
I'm curious as to what your favorite bonefish flies are, and why.
On light-colored sand flats, and sand flats with sparse, or clumps of, seagrass, I prefer a McVay Gotcha in the low light hours of morning and evening, and a blond (or tan) and white clouser (usually in fly fur). Both imitate shrimp, but I think the Gotcha can be a bit too flashy during high light hours of mid-day.
Second choice, and an especially good fly for large bones, is a cream and tan Del Brown yarn crab. I learned a ways back to tie the claws and legs shorter than normal, because bones tended to bite and tear at the claws and legs rather than take the whole fly. The closer to the color of the natural sand the better.
On darker grass flats, I really like the Fernandez snapping shrimp. It is dark, so similar like the shrimp on the flat, rides hook point up, so won't get snagged, and turns bones in their tracks.
When bones are feeding on schools of glass minnows and anchovies, the white Crazy Charlie or charteuse and white clouser comes out. The chartreuse and white clouser can also be a good fly for casting off edges of the flat if you suspect bones are cruising deep.
Anyone else have favorites?
