Does a bow and arrow make you think of Robin Hood? The bow and arrow is actually one of the oldest long-range weapons. It's also a marvel of physics.
The Back Story
- Archeologists have found evidence of bows and arrows dating back to 20,000 years ago. Since prehistoric times, the bow and arrow was used for hunting and warfare. It is still used for hunting today.
- The bow and arrow is also used in the sport of archery, in which athletes compete to shoot with the greatest accuracy. Archery is an Olympic sport.
- A bow is basically a long rod with the two ends connected by a string. The bow bends when the archer pulls back on the string. The bow can bend because it is made of an elastic material. Bending the bow gives it elastic potential energy.
- The arrow is a long, straight shaft. It has a pointed object on one end (the arrowhead) and a balancing device, such as a feather, on the other end.
- The archer holds the feather end of the arrow against the string while pulling it back. Releasing the string thrusts the arrow forward with the elastic force of the bow. The elastic potential energy of the bow is converted to the kinetic energy of the arrow.
- For a good introduction to archery, watch this video.
- To learn about different types of bows and shooting techniques, watch this video.
Can You Apply It?
Learn more about the physics of archery at the link below. Then answer the questions that follow.
- What materials are used to make bows? What properties must these materials have to be useful for this purpose?
- The force the bow can exert on the arrow depends on the bow's draw weight. What is the draw weight?
- What determines the draw weight of a bow?
- How do feathers on the end of an arrow help an archer to shoot?
- Contrast a long bow and a recurve bow.
- Explain why a compound bow can deliver more force than a regular bow.
- A bow with a sight system allows an archer to shoot more accurately. How does a sight system work?

Shrimp Ceviche from Ecuador
Authentic Citrus Marinated ShrimpBring the flavors of Ecuador into your kitchen with this shrimp ceviche recipe. Here, the shrimp are marinated in a fresh, citrusy mix of GOYA® Naranja Agria (Bitter Orange Marinade), lime juice, and tomato sauce, with Latin seasonings. Ceviche is such a sought-after dish in South America that, in many countries, including Ecuador, you'll find restaurants called "cevicherias" that specialize in this bright tasting dish. Ceviche originated in colonial times. Today shrimp ceviche is served everywhere as an elegant appetizer or light, healthy lunch.

Ceviche 101
Ceviche is an extremely popular way to prepare fresh fish all over South America, Central America and the Caribbean. This cooking technique involves marinating pieces of fresh fish in the juice of citrus fruit (like limes, lemons, oranges and grapefruit). As the fish marinates, the citric acid found in the fruit juice has a chemical effect on the fish's flesh, altering the structure of its protein. The flesh turns opaque and firm, as if it had been cooked with heat.
When making ceviche, cut fish into 1" pieces, or smaller, to expose the maximum surface area of the fish to the citrus juice, and be sure the fish is submerged in the liquid. Allow the fish to marinate at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours. You know the fish is "cooked" when it is opaque to its center.
Some fish that work well for ceviche are as follows: firm white fish, like tilapia, sea bass, halibut and snapper; fatty fish, like salmon, mackerel and tuna; shellfish, like shrimp, crab and lobster; and mollusks like conch, clams, mussels, squid and octopus.

I thought I had the Sandcrawler on the first card and the striped card, but I just have the first one. I checked ebay and a few sites and can't seem to find any evidence of the Sandcrawler on the striped card so I'm now wondering if it was released on the new crad or not. LMK.

Here's a cool piece of trivia: These hats are THE VERY FIRST item ever made to have the new Avery Sporting Dogs logo on it. The Master National distributed some other hats with the new logo before I posted this. But...a few of my local training pals, (excuse the pun) Nancy Pals, Tim Rider had them in their possession well prior to the Master National.
And for Nancy, the cool thing about the logo is it just might be a golden, or even a shortie jack.
Anyhow, David Carrington was right. Avery did not make us as many hats as they wanted to. If everyone who voted "yes" wants a hat, I'll have some disappointed folks. I don't have that many!

I recently received the Winter issue of Turkey & Turkey Hunting magazine.
I was especially moved by the article in "Tree Call" about Paul Bartz. Just as I'd finished the article, my wife Doris told me that she'd just received the news that her Uncle Colonel Paul Park, USAF, Retired, had just passed away. That the events were brought to my attention within minutes of each other was no doubt just a turn of fate but it made the impact even more dramatic and meaningful for me.
Brian Lovett's tribute to his friend Paul Bartz caused me to really think of all those who have given so much so that we can live in this country with the freedom that we enjoy. It's just too easy to forget!
For Paul Bartz, Paul Park and all of the others like them who've served our country over the years, I'm thankful and pledge to remember what they've done for all of us.
Thank you Brian for your tribute and helping us remember.

Most law school classes ask that a law student think like a lawyer. Clinics ask that they act like a lawyer. Through our innovative clinical programs, students learn law as medical students learn medicine—by practicing it.
Offering unique opportunities to represent real people and work on real cases, the clinical experience is as rigorous as it is rewarding, instilling in students a sense of professionalism, empathy, and know-how. Clinics are often cited by graduates as the highlight of their law school experience. Furthermore, employers are significantly more likely to hire students who bring practical, hands-on experience.
Our goal is to ensure that every student can and will take advantage of a first-rate clinical placement or supervised externship and will have the chance to work on real cases, transactions, and advocacy efforts, with real people—clients and witnesses, business owners and entrepreneurs, government officials, attorneys, judges, and more.
To that end, New York Law School has doubled its clinical offerings. Each clinic is guided by expert faculty and attorney supervisors.
The exciting new clinic offerings place students in a range of practice areas, including child welfare, civil rights, and education; criminal prosecution and post-conviction remedies; legislative and human rights advocacy; administrative enforcement and tort litigation defense on behalf of New York City; and pro bono business and tax counseling for nonprofits, startups, and individual taxpayers.
All clinics require a student application prior to enrollment. For more information about the application process visit www.nyls.edu/ocelapplication or click here.

I'm with evenflow on this..... no more X-Men in the Marvel Legends line!
X-men have their own line now, and if ToyBiz wouldn't do the stupid action features, they would be just as popular as Marvel Legends. Hell, you don't see any Spider-Man characters in the ML line, and same with the Hulk now that he has his own line. ML should be reserved for other parts of the Marvel universe (Avengers, Cosmic characters, etc...) IMO.
Don't get me wrong, I love the mutants and look forward to owning the new Wovie, Cable, Deadpool, Jugernaut & Pheonix (especially Pheonix). But these guys should have been the next batch in the X-Men classics line. Then we could've gotten Thanos, Warlock, etc, etc...... Instead, we get 5 X-characters, and will get 5 more with the next batch of X-Men classics (if there is a next batch) .
Ah well, I'll still be buying all of them 'cause they are so cool!

Urethral prolapse describes the protrusion of the lining of the distal or tail end portion of the urethra through the external urethral opening. Urethral neoplasia is cancer of the urethra.
Urethral prolapse and neoplasia are most common in dogs, especially English bulldogs and Boston terriers, and most often affects young to middle aged male dogs. The prolapsed urethra is a red or purple, swollen, doughnut-shaped mass protruding from the distal end of the penis. Urethral cancer most often affects middle aged to older female dogs
Causes of Urethral Prolapse
Prolonged sexual excitement
Urethral infection
Stones in the urinary tract (urolithiasis)
Increased intra-abdominal pressure as a consequence of brachycephalic syndrome, which is a disorder of short-nosed dogs that compromised upper airway function due to anatomical abnormalities
Visual inspection is often helpful in diagnosing a urethral prolapse.
Ejaculation may help evaluate the urethra during a penile erection, as occasionally a urethral prolapse is only present at that time.
Rectal palpation may reveal a palpable mass or thickening consistent with cancer.
Complete blood count (CBC)
Biochemical profile
A urinalysis and urine culture and sensitivity
Abdominal radiographs (X-rays)
Abdominal ultrasound
Additional diagnostic tests specifically for urethral neoplasia include:
Treatment for Urethral Prolapse
Treatment may not be required if the prolapsed urethra is asymptomatic or only associated with episodic bleeding.
If the prolapsed urethra is present only during penile erection, consider castration prior to attempting surgical removal of the prolapsed tissue.
Consider surgery for patients with excessive bleeding, pain or extensive ulceration and/or necrosis of the prolapsed tissue.
Amputation of the prolapsed urethral may be necessary, especially in cases where there is severe devitalization of tissue.
An Elizabethan collar may be needed to reduce licking-induced trauma postoperatively. Antibiotics for associated infection.
Estrogen compounds to decrease the frequency of erections.
Remove any trauma that may be causative, such as stones or catheters
Address underlying cancer as indicated
Treatment for Urethral Neoplasia
Relieve urinary obstruction if present.
Intravenous fluid therapy and electrolytes as needed.
Surgical excision in some cases
Piroxicam (Feldene®) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be of benefit in some cases.
Radiation therapy
Home Care and Prevention
Monitor your pet's ability to urinate and administer all medication as directed by your veterinarian. Return for follow-up as directed.
Limit your male dog's exposure to female dogs or situations that predispose to penile erections. Addressing underlying causes at once may help prevent urethral prolapse.

As proof of my eagerness to try mosaic, I have diligently collected every piece of broken crockery for 10 years. Never having bought a matching set of dinner plates I've instead pieced together a crockery set with an assortment of other peoples cast-offs.
Somewhere along the line I morphed into a 'collector' and developed a penchant for Crown Lynn. Armed with my precious collection of Kiwiana, I reasoned that seeing it had survived this far, surely it would endure the antics of modern family life.
Sadly, this was the case. Despite the 'bash test' story of Crown Lynn salesmen demonstrating their wares' durability by smashing them against the opposition's offerings, many of my iconic plates became cannon fodder for spatially challenged minors.
Sentimental fool that I am, I secreted the fragments away for the day when I would mosaic a garden seat or even a garden path (just keeping it achievable).
Read the word 'fool' again because it seems that mosaics are not for the faint-hearted; they are hard work, but satisfying. Concluding that the garden seat might be too ambitious, I settled on a number for my letterbox instead.
Here's how I did it.
Step 1 - Start small and simple. You will need a base to glue the pieces onto. Choose something non-flexible and non-porous. I used marine ply. Any untreated wooden base should be sealed with an undercoat and kept inside. Cut the base to size using a jigsaw. There are various mosaic methods. I chose the 'direct' method which means that you simply stick everything onto the base. Smash up your tesserae (this is the name given to the stuff you stick onto the base: crockery, tiles, glass, pebbles etc.). There are more professional ways to approach this but I made do with a hammer and an old towel. Place the china face down on a section of old towel and cover. Using the broad side of the hammer smash away, checking regularly on the size of the pieces. A range of sizes will allow you to find a piece for every gap (eventually!).
Step 2 - Arrange your tesserae onto your base using a skewer to help position them. Spend some time considering colour and small pieces versus bigger pieces. Don't be in a hurry, patience is key. Have a stock of pieces to rifle through so you get just the right size, shape and colour. Factor in a small gap between the pieces (up to 5mm) and take care when lining up edges. Getting a good line will achieve a more cohesive and tidy result. When you're done with the dummy run, and you've found a piece for every gap, go back and glue the pieces down one by one. You will need a construction adhesive such as Liquidnails. Woodworking glues or hot glue guns are apparently not suitable.
Step 3 - When the glue has dried, mix up grout following the manufacturer's directions. Apply grout with care, making sure you get into all the gaps and around the edges where the pieces meet the base. I scraped the grout into the gaps with a piece of old Jandal. Wipe away excess grout with a rag and spend some time tidying up the tesserae. Allow to dry.
• Old ceramics, mirror, glass etc
• Non-flexible & non porous base material
• Construction adhesive
• Tile grout
• Jigsaw
• Hammer
• Old towel and rags
• Safety equipment

Americans' love affair with Italian flavors started with warm, homey dishes like this one. There are chicken and eggplant variations, too.
When you have more time than money, buy veal round steak instead of the pricier veal for scallopini. Cut steak into 12 pieces, then flatten the pieces between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. No meat mallet? Try using a small cast-iron skillet.
For Chicken Parmigiana, just use 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds) for the veal. Flatten chicken between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness.
For Eggplant Parmigiana, use 2 small unpeeled eggplants (about 1 pound each). Cut each eggplant into 1/4-inch slices.

| Is there any child out there who doesn't long for a personal little sanctuary — a private place to call his or her own? The treehouses featured here are built out of various materials and in varying configurations, sizes and shapes. Some have their feet firmly planted on the ground, while others have trees growing right through the middle. Despite all this diversity, they do have something in common: Each one is going to bring out the kid in you.
Doug Abbott of Village Builders says that safety was foremost on his mind when he took on this project, which sits among a small grouping of cedar trees. "I wanted it to be safe for children of all ages, and it was built so that a deck surrounds two sides of the building with a railing, allowing them to play inside or outside," he says.
In a nod to the dumbwaiter systems of the past, "We also extended the ridge of the building out over the deck to allow for a rope and pulley system," Abbott notes, "so that the children could haul their toys in a basket from the ground up to the deck and not have to carry them up the steps."

See the Original Story on Houzz
| Jason Hayburn of Shelter Design Studio says that this treehouse was built for the grandchildren of a couple who live on a wooded lot. Located in a natural clearing, it's constructed out of cedar and has reclaimed windows and a standing-seam metal roof. "The owner wanted the treehouse to look like a quaint cottage in the woods," says Hayburn. "It has an L-shaped floor plan with a half-round deck that connects the two legs. The kids enjoy running up the stairs on one side and then down the stairs on the other."

| This treehouse was designed and built by Bjon Pankratz for his children. His wife, photographer Laurel Pankratz, documented the process. "I always wanted a treehouse as I was growing up and never got the chance to have one," she writes.

| Now this is a truly happy home. Interior designer Kerrie L. Kelly teamed up with Pulte Homes to create a treehouse made of metal, foam and wood that was raffled off to benefit the Child Abuse Prevention Council of Placer County, near Sacramento, California.
"The house sold for $36,000, with all of the proceeds benefitting the charity," says Kelly. "Meanwhile, one lucky kid had the structure reinstalled in their very own backyard. The entrance is a ladder, and the exit is a slide that comes out of the side of the tree into the softscape below."

| Some treehouses are built with more than just fun and games in mind. "This one belongs to a great family with a special-needs daughter," says architect Warren Lloyd. "It occupies the loft level of the house, and the trunk conceals a residential lift that ensures the daughter has access to all parts of the house." He adds that many elements, like the branches nested under the deck, were the owners' ideas. The tree trunk was framed in wood, and the branches are a steel frame. Both were finished with epoxy resin and synthetic materials.

Life without glasses or contact lenses
If you often imagine what life would be like if you didn't have to wear glasses or contact lenses, then LASIK eye surgery may be an ideal option for you. Waking up to a clear view of the alarm clock, traveling without contact lens solution, and enjoying a day at the beach without having to clean your glasses are just a few of the benefits you will experience after undergoing LASIK.
LASIK eye surgery can help you correct refractive errors in vision such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The procedure uses a state-of-the-art laser to reshape your cornea so that it focuses light properly. The end result is clearer, sharper vision.
What is LASIK?
Can I have LASIK performed on both eyes at once?
Does LASIK hurt?
How well will I see after LASIK?
However, it is important to understand that your results depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of your prescription prior to surgery. Patients with very strong prescriptions may still require glasses or contacts for actions such as driving or reading following LASIK. In addition, age-related conditions such as presbyopia may impact your vision down the road, causing you to need reading glasses.
Benefits of Lasik Surgery
One of the greatest lifestyle benefits of LASIK is that you will be able to wear non-prescription sunglasses. You will no longer have to switch back-and-forth between your regular eyeglasses and your prescription sunglasses when going in and out of buildings. LASIK also makes it easier to participate in your favorite athletic activities. Skiing, cycling, swimming, and many other sports are much more enjoyable when you do not have to deal with corrective eyewear.
You may achieve a boost in self-confidence after your LASIK procedure. Many of our LASIK patients comment to us that they no longer feel like their face is hidden behind glasses.
Other benefits of LASIK include:
- Extremely high success rate – over 90% of patients achieve their desired vision following LASIK, and many more achieve excellent vision with a simple enhancement procedure
- LASIK is virtually pain-free
- You will see clearly almost immediately following your LASIK procedure
The Eye Care Specialists Advantage
We have been performing LASIK procedures for patients in the Northeastern Pennsylvania area including Scranton and Kingston since the technology received FDA approval in the 1990s. In fact, our LASIK surgeons have performed thousands of procedures over the years.
Our ophthalmologists will perform a free comprehensive LASIK consultation to ensure you are an ideal candidate for the procedure. We will perform all the necessary tests to be certain that you are not just a candidate, but an excellent candidate for LASIK.
Because of the large number of specialists in our practice, we are able to perform any alternative procedure that may more effectively meet your vision correction needs. Our ophthalmologists regularly achieve excellent results with PRK as well as LASIK. Dr. Patrick McGraw can perform a Visian ICL procedure for patients who are not ideal candidates for LASIK. He is one of the only doctors in Northeast Pennsylvania who is qualified to perform this procedure.
How Do You Know if You are a Good Candidate for LASIK?
Criteria for LASIK Candidacy
- Over the age of 18
- Have a stable prescription for at least one year prior to undergoing LASIK
- Healthy eyes that have not suffered an infection for at least one year
- No corneal scarring
- Does not suffer from dry eye syndrome
- Not pregnant or nursing
Does not suffer from an autoimmune disease which may impact your ability to heal
In addition, you must have corneas of average thickness or better in order to maintain the shape of your eyeball after your procedure. If your corneas are too thin, it may result in LASIK complications.
Our ophthalmologists have extensive experience performing a variety of LASIK alternative procedures as well. If you are not an ideal candidate for LASIK, you may still be able to dramatically improve your eyesight with a procedure such as PRK.
Lifestyle Factors and Eye LASIK Surgery Candidacy
People who enjoy swimming, water skiing or scuba diving often find LASIK to be extremely beneficial since it allows them to see clearly when enjoying their favorite hobbies. However, you will need to avoid these activities for at least a week following your procedure to prevent infection.
Skiing, mountain climbing, and other high altitude activities are also much more enjoyable after LASIK. However, a common problem experienced during high altitude activities is dry eye. Since dry eyes are often a temporary complication following LASIK, you may want to refrain from these activities during the healing period.
Proper Screening Reduces Complications
It is important to mention any health conditions you have and any medications you take during your initial consultation. Our ophthalmologists will need this information in order to determine whether you are a good candidate for LASIK and anticipate any potential risks that may arise due to these conditions. If you have a problem with dry eyes, make sure to tell our ophthalmologists during your consultation since this condition may impact your LASIK candidacy.
Common LASIK Complications
- Irregular astigmatism — In rare instances, your cornea may warp due to scarring. This occurs when the laser is not properly centered on your eye. Symptoms such as double vision or "ghost images" are commonly associated with this complication.
- Diffuse lamellar keratitis — This complication may occur if debris gets lodged behind the corneal flap. Symptoms may include light sensitivity, blurry vision, pain, or a sensation that something is trapped in your eye.
- Overcorrection/undercorrection — This complication may impact your results and require you to wear corrective lenses after LASIK.
- Dry eyes — Almost 50% of LASIK patients experience dry eyes during the first six months after their procedure. However, this generally subsides as your eyes heal. Our doctors may prescribe artificial tears or dry eye medication to help alleviate any discomfort until your dry eyes go away.
Keep in mind that these complications are very rare and their risk can be reduced even more by working with a highly skilled and experienced LASIK surgeon.
Please call 888-393-2010 or contact Eye Care Specialists today to schedule your free LASIK consultation. We serve patients in Scranton, Wilkes Barre, Kingston, and throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania.

*sigh* Here we go again...
I was going to put out some new code for the W3C HTML Validation Service today, but RL is getting in the way. This probably means I won't be ready to release anything until next weekend. On the flip side, this probably also means that what I release will be beta instead of alpha. I bet Gerald would call this a Good Thing®. :-)
Status is:
- HTML::Template support is in.
- Code is in total flux. Valid pages validate, but invalid pages makes it die horribly.
- Despite sweeping changes, code is significantly cleaner.
- Link checking and recursive validation might make it into this version, but should be a sure thing for next version unless priorities change.
- XML and ";imgonly" output is still getting nowhere. :-(

Well the series that usually works best for me goes like this (translated into turkey talk): Hey you fat A## skanky B&^%$, I'm gonna put a lovin on yo man that will curl his beard and he ain't even gonna sniff you're greasy A## again....if you think you can do anything bout it com-on over and I'll jerk yo skanky tail feathers off. Besides you can't even lay an egg without breakin it, you fool.
It has to have that cheap hillbilly trash tone too. In comparison, when you're calling to the boys you say. Hey big boy, what a hunk of turkey flesh, how about you bring that big ole tool over to my place and we'll see if we can wear the end off it! I learned that call series from a southern lady, said it works every time on those Georgia boys.
If you have heard a lot of loud hen calling it's probably older hens so challenge her dominance. In other words, get sassy with them. Hard clucks and cuts and fast yelp runs. A fast hard purr or two thrown in help. If they been real quiet then go soft and just barely yelp and soft short purrs, comfort calls. So they will just come to be together.

Jenson Button is looking forward to returning to Spa, the home of the Belgian Grand Prix.
The 2009 Formula One World Champion won the last race in Belgium, but the Brit is not expecting to repeat that feat this season.
The 2012 McLaren was one of the fastest cars on the grid last season, Button won three races last season, whilst then team-mate Lewis Hamilton picked up four victories.
This season however has been a frustrating one for McLaren, the team have never found the pace in their new 2013 car, with Button's best finish of the season to-date a fifth place in China.
'We don't go to Spa with the package to win, but I'll still be making the most of every single lap around this place - it'll still feel incredible,' Button told Sky Sports.
He continued: 'The thing about Spa is that it just feels awesome to nail a quick lap around there - you need a car that's perfectly synced to the driver, because it's such a long lap, and there are so many big corners, that you need to find that perfect balance. And getting the set-up right - and running flat-out for nearly two minutes - feels incredible.
'I think back to my victory there last year - I had pretty much the perfect weekend - my car was fantastic, I got pole position and just led the whole race. It was one of the most satisfying wins of my career just because I felt strong and confident for the entire weekend.'
So who will find that form this weekend? Will it be Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel? Could it be Ferrari and Fernando Alonso? Or will it be Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes?
It's great to have Formula One back isn't it?

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
ABERDEEN — Death Row inmate Mack Arthur King's death sentence will be vacated because he is mentally retarded, the state's attorneys admit to a federal judge today.
The state admits that King, now 53, "has been determined to be mentally retarded" by its expert, Dr. Gilbert S. Macvaugh III of Greenville.
Mentally retarded people cannot be put to death, but this finding does not change other issues before the U.S. District Court about King's guilt.
The admission comes in a late-Wednesday filing to the Aberdeen court, which scheduled and then cancelled a Friday hearing on King's mental state because the state's report was not ready.
U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock gave the state attorney general's office until 5 p.m. Wednesday to file the report. The hearing has not been rescheduled.
King was sentenced to die by a Lowndes County jury in the death of 84-year-old Lela Patterson in 1980. Patterson was beaten, strangled and drowned at her home during a burglary.
King's conviction and sentence were overturned on two previous state appeals. Then he was tried and convicted a third time in 2003 and sentenced to death. Initially, he was evaluated by a doctor as part of his defense.
His conviction was appealed to federal court in 2010 on numerous issues, including his mental state.

Ok, what's your preference, Tarpon or Bonefish?
Okay, just wanted to start a thread here and see what kind of answers we get. Basically, which do you prefer to fish for, tarpon or bonefish, and why? There is no wrong or right answer, just wanted to see the views here. I will present a couple of views as well - I know that although Lefty Kreh has described the tarpon as perhaps the most exciting fish around, his favorite fish to stalk on a fly is bonefish due to the challenge of getting a hookup. On the other hand, Dan Blanton has relayed that he prefers tarpon and admits many anglers like bonefish and tarpon better because of the technical aspect of feeding them, he likes tarpon because there is no guarantee you will land one after a hookup whereas most permit and bones are pretty much foregone conclusion once you hoook up.
As for me, I prefer tarpon for the same reason - the main reason I like saltwater is the challenge of light tackle fishing against a fish where you are never sure that you will land it. I like fighting fish that are 8-12 times the size of my tippet and pushing my equipment to the limit, and sometimes past it. I like the toe-to-toe slugfests I get into with a fish, and the getting to the breaking point to see who blinks first, me or the fish. Tarpon exemplify all that I love about SW fishing, including beautiful surroundings, but most of all the slug fests where sometimes, as I put it, I have to get "street-fighter mean."
It's a terrible thing to make one choose!!!
I can't do it I have to have both.
Hmmm This is beyond hard to choose. I'm going Swiss style on this one! However....
At the keys a year or 2 ago, I fished 2 days guided. First day all we fished for was tarpon. I was so freaking frustrated I could kill someone. The fish would not eat.
Second day did half bones and half tarpon. Caught first bone. Still have not caught a key tarpon.
Tarpon are much more frustrating b/c they feed mainly at night time. Yes you can catch them during the day, but they feed most heavily at night time, gorging themselves. For that very reason while at the keys I prefer bones.
But you really can't compare totally different fish.
You could say do you prefer Keys bones, or Bahama Bones.
Keys tarpon or Costa Rica tarpon.
I love them ALL! :lildevl:
That's like choosing betwen trout and sea run fish.
Trout and bonefish aare feeding and migrating tarpon and searun salmonids are not said to be feeding. They are in a spawning cycle, so instead of fishing with an artificial bait (a fly that represents food eg. crab or mayfly), you are insighting a strike with a nonfood attractor fly (like a toad or signal light). I think that this represents a whole different mind set. When a bone fish or a trout eat, you know why (they were hungry) but no one might ever know why a salmon or a tarpon eat. I think that this mystery is addicting to some and frustraiting to others. I think that bone fishing has more in common with trout fishing than with tarpon fishing.
I like both because they are so different.
Hey Steelboneguy, I feel your pain...I know that Keys Tarpon can be hard to feed since they are pounded on so much these days. When I first began they were easier - I had hookups my first trip and I jumped a few but no landings. They have become in many ways 100 lb. permit - tough to feed. However, they do have their days - I've just read a couple of trip reports and one guy reported 43 hookups in 10 days and my guide reports they've been averaging about 5 hookups day as well - this could be one of those banner tarpon years. The other thing I'd say is that it's difficult to book only 2 days and expect a hookup - if the a cold front comes through, it's almost impossible to hook up unless you're name's Andy Mill. That's why whenever I go on a fishing trip like this I rarely book less than 5-7 days. Last year I had a bad year but the year before was excellent.
Tough question. I think I have to say Tarpon. I don't care if you jump a small one you have that weak in the knees feeling that you don't quite have with Bonefish. Also, the tackle for Bonefish is pretty much equal to the fish. I normally use a 10lb test leader when I fish Andros and that is pretty much the biggest Bone I could expect / hope to catch. Tarpon very quickly out tackle you, so I'd have to give the sporting nod to the Tarpon. Even small ones are tough to keep on the hook.
Thanks F1. I'll hook up one of these days... :lildevl:
That's a tough choice--both awesome fish. I think I would choose bonefish though--if I had to choose, which thankfully I do not. I really enjoy stalking bones in skinny water, something you don't normally get with tarpon. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when stalking an 8-10 lb tailing bone--what an adrenaline rush-even if you don't hook up. And if you do hook up, look out!
And while bones don't jump, and don't reach the size of even medium sized baby tarpon, pound for pound they may be as strong, or stronger, than tarpon. Might be faster too.
What does everyone think--are bones faster than tarpon?
What if we tied two 10 lb fish together, who would take who for a ride?
For me it's not necessarily the type of fish that is the issue but s targeting single fish.
To cast into a school and hook up with something is OK but there is nothing like casting at a single cruising bonefish with a floating gummy minnow and seeing the fish come up and take the fly. Or casting a bunny pattern to a laid up tarpon and twitch twitch and it come up slowly sucks the fly in you try to set the hook and then it jumps.
I don't know what this has got do do with religion but the normal reaction is "Oh my god".
Casting a fly at a tailing permit is similar only they don't normally join in and the reaction then is "Oh ****".
For me it would be bonefish. I like the whole sightfishing aspect: seeing, stalking, demanding casting, and instanf feedback on any of the many possible errors. The run is nice, but that and the subsequent fight is not the 'ultimate moment' in my opinion.
As to actually fighting a fish, I would vote for a billfish over a tarpon. I think both speed and aerials are much more spectacular with a marlin at the end of a flyline.
Hey Josko, no fair throwing in another species.
I see your point about stalking bonefish, however, I've found that fishing for tarpon recently in the Florida flats, and in talking to those who have recently, the tarpon have gotten a lot like bonefish. It's become much more demanding. A perfect cast is no longer a guarantee of a hookup. Presentation has to be spot on, and the ability to read the tarpon has become paramount if you want to do well. To each their own - that was the point of the posted question to see which aspect you like best.
As far as Marlin, I do want to pursue them one day but in some ways not as much fun - as Andy Mill said, you tease them up and after they're excited, it's pretty much flop your fly out there and it's a guaranteed hookup. Not to say I don't want to experience the fight as well - I most certainly do. But I do want the combined aspect of casting/presentation with a great fight. For me the bonefish do demand good stalking skills, but the fight it completely anticlimatic for me. I don't fault anyone who prefers the bonefish - I know a lot of guys who don't care to fight big fish either - plenty of room for all of us to enjoy fishing the way we want. Neither way is right or wrong, just personal preference.
Now time to go pack - leaving for Key West tomorrow morning. Time to jump some 'poons.
I don't know for sure, but I'd bet Andy said that about Pacific sailfish and not marlin. Believe me, that comment can often be true with sails. I have never found it to be true with marlin. I've had marlin up into the teasers several times and never had a hookup. A lot of times they're gone before you even get the cast out there. They don't tend to hang around anywhere near as long as the sails.
I don't think there are many that would put sailfish ahead of tarpon as far as casting and presentation goes. I do, however, agree with josko as far as the actual fight with a billfish being superior to tarpon, although with sails it usually doesn't last nearly as long.
Hey Jr Spey, actually Andy Mill specifically stated "Blue Marlin" in describing it as tease them up, pull away the teaser and throw out the fly and it's a bite (in the Chasing Silver series). As I understand it, and correct me if I'm wrong, Mill also has some experience fishing for billfish as well doesn't he?
As I don't have cable or a satellite dish, I know Andy only by his reputation and that's mostly with tarpon. I don't doubt that if he said that about blue marlin, he's probably found some place where it happens. I've had three chances at what were probably blues, but could have been stripers (striped marlin,) and only once did I even have the time to get a cast off. In my experience, limited though it may be, marlin just don't stay among the teasers but for a very short time. The one I cast to one in Costa Rica both the captain and the mate screamed "perfect cast" after I made it but the marlin just disappeared. It was only about 25 feet, but I guess I put it in exactly what should have been the right spot. Having had a lot more experience with sails since that trip I can tell you that about 90% of the sails would have eaten that same cast.
I have to go with the silver king (tarpon) bones are fun but poon's (baby) are much more of a rush when hooked

Reviews of this property
Very disappointing. The person from whom I hired the room was not there. It is very noisy also at night. Not so clean and smells not clean. I should stay three nights, but the third night I went elsewhere.
The room by Julia was good. Clean and tidy. Most people who stay here are young and we loved to talked with them. Julia is a friendly host with a lot of hospitality. There is a terras at the roof, wich is great to stay at nights. Recommended if you like to have people around.
sehr zentral gelegenes Nichtraucherzimmer. Bußhaltestelle fast vor der Tür. 30 Gehminuten zum Strand, 15 Gehminuten zur Bahn. Kleiner Supermarkt um die Ecke. Ansonsten für den Preis einfaches Zimmer mit nettem Gastgeber.
für junge leute zu übernachten ist sehr günstig ist central ich wollte nur zum erste mal sehen was das für ein service gibt und die preise unterschid zu sehen ich habe meine erfahrung gesamelt ich werde als ältere mann mit frau nicht mehr diese zimmer buchen für studenten die sogar manchmal auf der strasse oder am strand im sommer schlafen ist nicht schlecht
Reviews for this host's other properties
Unfortunately, the room I booked was already rented out. I got another room, without air conditioning. It was not a big problem, since it only was for one night. But it all seemed to be a little bit unorganized.
a good place to meet backpackers. yanoel who took care of the rooms when i was there (nov 2013) is really a nice and helpful guy. i had a private room which was okay, but the bathroom was very small and the wooden doorcase started to dissolve. overall, it was an enjoyable stay. good value for money.
Very nice hosts! Fine, large room, with own bathroom. Everything looked neat And clean. One day we ate together with other people who lived there, that was nice. With public transportation to can get quickly to the railwaystation and the beach. I recommand this hostel to youth.

Two mothers of girls have told me how the girls are encouraged to give the team a lot of attention. We have sent the message that the team can do whatever they want to. The drinking was what caused a lot of the trouble in this case.

I can see any number of ways this could have gone differently. Where the HELL were the parents of ALL concerned? Sixteen year old girl so DRUNK that she had no idea what had happened!!! What the hell?!! Her parents should be horse whipped. Sixteen and seventeen year old boys whose upbringing was so lacking that they thought it was OK to treat a girl that way!!! They and their parents should be horsewhipped too. I know girls' dad's who would probably have put those boys in the hospital. Where were the adults!!?? What decent person thinks it's OK for kids in their mid teens to have alcohol at a party or for that matter have an un-supervised party? A total failure of ALL who should have been looking out for these kids. The only thing that finally worked was the judicial system. I was brought up to take care of my friends, not take advantage of them (nor let advantage be taken). A truly disgraceful episode all the way around. Girl paid (and will continue to pay) a heavy price for her poor judgement. Boys also paid pretty dearly (but I think justly). No room for anyone to hold their head high.
Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.

I agree with HPL in most of what he has written. I blame the parents for a lot of what happened but the kids are far from innocent. Those boys better be glad that wasn't my daughter. In the grand scheme of things, they got a slap on the wrist.

You got it Ken. It's one thing to do dumb things when alcohol is involved but later when you are sober and still bragging about it, that's much worse. They not only bragged about it, the shared video and pictures with other people and the public. They aren't sorry for what they did in my opinion, they are sorry they got caught. Big difference.

The football coach new about it as well and did nothing. They have text messages talking about the coach being told and he was "taking" care of it. I think had this not been posted online and them sending pics nothing would have came of it. I think I remember a hacker is the one who posted the videos. But the kids sent the photos and lewd texts bragging about it to friends. They should have been locked up for longer.

Avian influenza
Avian influenza ("bird flu") is an infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the influenza virus. The infection can cause a wide spectrum of symptoms in birds, ranging from mild illness, which may pass unnoticed, to a rapidly fatal disease that can cause severe epidemics.
Avian influenza viruses do not normally infect humans. However, there have been instances of certain highly pathogenic strains causing severe respiratory disease in humans. In most cases, the people infected had been in close contact with infected poultry or with objects contaminated by their faeces. Nevertheless, there is concern that the virus could mutate to become more easily transmissible between humans, raising the possibility of an influenza pandemic.

Poetry and Children Day at Binghamton University scheduled for May 24
More than 400 students from 33 schools and 11 school districts will meet at 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 24, in the Osterhout Concert Theater of the Anderson Center at Binghamton University for the 29th annual Poetry and the Children Day.
The program, which brings students together for a day of poetry readings, was established as a memorial to Robert Pawlikowski. A published poet, creative writing instructor and campus administrative assistant, Pawlikowski drowned in 1975 while on vacation with his family. The event is a tribute to the efforts that Pawlikowski made during his lifetime in nurturing the expressive and intellectual powers of his students as well as those of his own children.
This year's guest poet is Lydia Melvin, a PhD candidate in English at Binghamton University. Melvin has taught creative writing and literature courses at a variety of colleges and universities including the University of Houston and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her poems have appeared in numerous publications and her first poetry collection, South of Here, was published by New Issues Press (2005).
Melvin received her bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee and her master's degrees in literature and creative writing from Western Michigan University.
After the opening presentation, students will present their poems in the Lecture Hall. Partially underwritten by the Oakdale Mall and Susan Clark-Johnson, an anthology is prepared by the Office of the Dean of Harpur College and distributed to teachers and local libraries. Clark-Johnson is a 1967 Binghamton University graduate and former publisher of the Binghamton Evening Press, the predecessor to the Binghamton Press & Sun- Bulletin.

Jessica Lynne Morgan and Ivory Charles Pantallion III. (Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 10:20 PM
A Texas man and a Tennessee woman were attempting to force a 19-year-old Alabama woman to work as an escort in Lake Charles, authorities said.
Ivory Charles Pantallion III, 33, 515 Moore Road, Beaumont, Texas, and Jessica Lynne Morgan, 24, of Shelbyville, Tenn., were arrested at about 1 a.m. Monday at a local casino hotel, according to arrest reports.
Both were charged with human trafficking and simple kidnapping. Pantallion is being held on $1 million bond; Morgan is being held on $500,000 bond.
Lake Charles police received a tip Sunday that a woman reported missing in Huntsville, Ala., might be in the Lake Area, Deputy Chief Mark Kraus said.
Officers verified with Huntsville police that the woman was missing, he said. The woman's mother said her daughter had been missing since Friday and was being held in Lake Charles against her will, Kraus said.
She was told her life and her family members' lives were in danger if she tried to leave, he said. The woman left Huntsville with Pantallion and Morgan of her own volition, Kraus said.
Pantallion, Morgan and the woman first traveled to Beaumont, Texas, where Pantallion and Morgan took her phone away and gave her another one, Kraus said. They then showed her a Web page advertising her as an escort and told her she was to work as an escort, Kraus said.
The next night, Pantallion and Morgan took her to Lake Charles and established another Web page advertising her as an escort, he said.
The woman called her mother and informed her of where she was, and her mother called authorities, Kraus said.
The woman was released to her parents, he said.
A 36-year-old Lake Charles man has been charged with second-offense failure to register as a sex offender.

Leading political theorist to discuss Israel/Palestine conflict at Binghamton University
Michael Walzer, political philosopher and professor at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, will present a lecture titled "The Four Wars of Israel/Palestine" at 7:30 p.m. Monday, September 22, in the Chamber Hall of the Anderson Center on the Binghamton University campus. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Walzer has been a permanent faculty member at the Institute of Advanced Study since 1980. One of the world's leading political theorists, he is the author of more than a dozen books, including several that have become classic works in the field. Among Walzer's most significant and influential works are Just and Unjust Wars (1977), Spheres of Justice (1983), Exodus and Revolution (1985), and On Toleration (1997).
A co-editor of Dissent magazine and a contributing editor of The New Republic, Walzer is an active participant in public debates on key issues of domestic and foreign policy. A frequent visitor to Israel and a member of the Board of Governors of the Hebrew University, Walzer received an honorary doctorate from Tel Aviv University in 2003. He is currently editing a four-volume work on The Jewish Political Tradition, two volumes of which have already been published by Yale University Press.
Walzer's presentation is sponsored by the Harpur College Dean's Office, the departments of Judaic Studies, Philosophy and History, Hillel at Binghamton, and the Middle East and North Africa Studies (MENA) program.

Of all the rags to riches stories of modern league, the tale of Jesse Bromwich takes some beating.
In another world, Jesse Bromwich would have turned out today for the Orange Hawks against the Mudgee Dragons in Group 10 of NSW Country Rugby League, before returning to his scaffolding job tomorrow. Instead, he has played in (and won) a grand final and featured in test matches on both sides of the Tasman.
It could have all been so different, but for a couple of missed flights and a persuasive younger brother.
Like so many young Kiwis, Bromwich headed to Australia a few months after leaving school in 2008. He wasn't going to follow a league dream, as that had subsided. A promising junior player, he failed to turn the heads of the Warriors or any other NRL outfits.
"When I got to 19, and hadn't been signed, I didn't know if it was ever going to happen," Bromwich says.
Together with a school-mate, Bromwich landed in Orange, the provincial town in inland NSW previously best known as the hometown of James Maloney. They joined a scaffolding crew and Bromwich was paid for playing for the Hawks every weekend.
Life wasn't bad. They pocketed more than was available in New Zealand, enjoyed the climate and found the locals to be a friendly bunch. But something was missing.
"At the time I was drifting a little bit," says Bromwich. "I wasn't really sure about where I was going."
Younger brother Kenny was part of the Storm's development system and asked his coach if Jesse could tag along with him to under-20 training. After some arm twisting, Jesse turned up the next day and was quick to impress. He was asked if he was available to play the following weekend.
"Jesse was a big-boned, raw kid," says Cameron Smith of his first impression of Bromwich. "He always looked promising and he just needed to fill out a bit to be a first grader."
In just his second NRL game, he was part of the Storm side that lifted the World Club Challenge trophy in 2010 and he was the club's rookie of the year in 2011. This year he has gone to another level, especially in the second half of the season.
"A lot of the talk this year was about big Sam (Kasiano) but (Jesse) was a big reason why we won the premiership," says Smith. "He's probably only just realised his capabilities and what he can do on the field. Jesse does a good job at creating space around him. He's not the sort of guy that will offload before the line; he takes someone on first and then looks for an offload. He's also got the good combination of knowing when to take the ball forward and when to go across and use his skills with the ball. I think he is going to get better and better."
Bromwich has thrived at the Storm, and still sounds a little in awe of team-mates Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk.
"Billy is amazing," says Bromwich, "he trains exactly how he plays - he is flat out and always last off the field. Cooper is probably the hardest worker in the team and is always staying back practising his kicking or passing."
One of Bromwich's turning points came at the Storm's notorious pre-season boot camps, where players are taken to their physical and mental limits.
"It is the hardest thing I have ever done," says Bromwich. "You don't think you can do any more but you have to and then you find something. It makes you mentally a lot tougher."
Bromwich impressed everyone in the Kiwis' camp last week and raised a few eyebrows at one of the training sessions in Cairns. During an exercise practising hit-ups, Bromwich ran into Ruben Wiki - who was on the hit shields - with such force that he knocked the Kiwi legend into the air and clean off his feet, something rarely seen over the years.
Though there is plenty of competition among New Zealand props, the 23-year-old Bromwich seems set for a long future in the Kiwis and looks sure to be a cornerstone of next year's World Cup defence.

The mission of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) is to promote diabetes care, prevention and a cure worldwide.
Despite the significant scientific advances of the last century, diabetes remains a major health challenge across the world. This chronic and incurable non- communicable disease (NCD) is responsible for millions of deaths annually and limits many lives with life-threatening complications. No country, rich or poor, is immune to the epidemic.
In its 2015 Diabetes Atlas, IDF estimated that 415 million people are currently living with diabetes; many as yet undiagnosed and untreated. To put this in an even more graphic way, if the people in the world with diabetes today lived in one country, it would be the third largest in the world after China and India. IDF estimated that, if nothing is done to address the growing diabetes epidemic, by 2040 the global figure will rise to 642 million – or one in 10 adults.
As a strong non-governmental organisation with the support of over 230 Members and economically powerful partners, IDF has the opportunity to address these challenges.
Scientific advances in the detection and treatment of diabetes are plentiful, with new lower cost solutions becoming available around the world. There is much IDF can do to promote knowledge exchange and understanding of these advances and help drive policy change to ensure they are available at affordable prices for all. But perhaps our greatest opportunity to curb the growth of diabetes is to harness the willingness of governments and inter-governmental organisations to drive change in policy, which will in turn create an environment that promotes better care of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and greater opportunity to choose healthier lifestyles.

It truly amazes me sometimes how today's programmers are turning out. I'm one of the PHP developers, and as such, I get to see alot of new people starting to program.
Everyone starts somewhere....
But what constantly shocks me is the hubris of these new programmers. People who have just started using PHP, maybe have written a small intranet, maybe a website, who knows maybe a website that gets 100,000 hits a day (hardly anything these days), and they come to the php development list and start lecturing PHP developers on how the "enterprise" looks at php and how we should change PHP's development.
We then tell them, for example, thank you very much but we will not make parse errors something that can be "catchable" by the user. Why, because:
1) Its not how languages should work, a basic check of your code (you know, running it _before_ you deploy it) will reveal such parse errors.
2) Technically, a parse error leaves the engine in an unstable state, meaning its simply not possible.
Of course, these "enterprise" programmers, know better. They try and explain that handling of parse errors is needed to give PHP enterprise acceptance.
Now the fact that they continually argue is annoying, its like a little fly, that no matter how much you want to, you can't swat it, "that's bad for the community." Still, that's not the part that shocks me - personally, I think I'm right, even when I argue with people that have more experience than me. We all have to learn. What is unbearable about these people is the way in which they argue.
"PHP needs this for enterprise acceptance" "This is an error in your way of thinking" "You're not in touch with what real users want" etc.
If you're new, or just a plain bad programmer, that's fine, everyone should have a voice, everyone should have the opportunity to learn, in fact its what keeps a community vibrant: new developers come in, they may not have the most skills in the world, but they learn and then eventually become productive members of the community.
What is infinitely irritating is when a new or inexperienced developer comes, and lectures us on his "one true vision," and refuses to learn from people who *do* in fact know a bit more then him. He can't let an issue lie, he has to argue every single comment made by every single developer in attempt to prove to us that he knows more and is correct. "Hey let's all of PHP's error messages be stored in XML format!" In place of intelligent thought, let me use a buzzword!
