*** EDIT NOTE: This post was scheduled for today (12-14-12). I contemplated "pulling it" in light of the tragic events that have shaken us in Connecticut. Our hearts go out to those families. The reason I did not "pull" this post is simply this.. We must go on. I am sorry about the devastating events of today, but as our thoughts and prayers flow to those victims, we can not live in fear and can not let the actions of a few dictate how we live our lives.
I am sorry if this is 'too soon'.. but this coming Monday our Troop will still meet and we will be getting ready for not only Winter Camping, but Troop Junior Leader Training and we will go on.
God Bless. ***
Winter camping is like no other camping. It requires skills, smarts, and the right attitude. It also requires strong leadership. Leaders that accept responsibility and leaders that understand that the group comes before the individual. In my Troop Training for winter camping is a significant part of the process. We make certain rules on participation in winter camping events such as; You must participate in the 4 meetings that lead up to the camp out. This way you get all the necessary training. This is important as your buddy is counting on you to be there, understand what he is looking for, and is a part of the team when it comes to the in camp routines that are unique to winter camping.
A lack of discipline will also get a Scout "Uninvited" to a winter outing. There is no room for a lack of discipline when it comes to camping in cold weather and high risk activities.
Part of the training that our Scouts receive are from the older Scouts. They are given the training and the tools to ensure that proper training is being conducted. I have given them the following to add to their Leadership Tool box. The following is directed at the Leader and speaks directly to them so they can properly set the example, train their Patrol's and have a great winter camping experience.
You are welcome to all of this information, feel free to copy and paste. If you have questions, please feel free to ask. You can always send an email or drop a note in the comments section.
Here are some items for a leader to have in his tool box for camping in the winter.
1. The right attitude. You must demonstrate a positive attitude in the winter. The people following you depend on it. As you go with you attitude, those that follow you will go.
2. Be an example of right. The leader must possess the skills and attitudes that make winter camping successful. The leader must demonstrate those skills and teach others to use them. The leader can not take short cuts and look the other way. The leader must set an example by doing the right thing.
3. Skills. There is a list of skills that make up a good winter camper. Here are some that the leader must use and teach.
Gear– use the right gear and use it properly. More importantly taking the right gear with you and packing it right. Every item in the pack or SECURED to the outside and covered with a pack cover.
Staying dry. – Wet kills in the winter.
In camp routines. Camp set up.
Getting in and out the tent without dragging snow in.
Storing gear. Everything stays packed unless needed.
Gathering and "Making" water.
Gathering fire wood and making the fire.
Setting up camp. Looking for best placement of tents/shelters. No widow makers. Building up snow walls. Cooking areas. Designated BIO area.
Anchoring of tents/shelters.
Morning routines. Get up and cook right away. Get things cleaned and stored. Pack un used gear. Hang anything that is damp to dry.
Cooking. Have a plan.
Store food in bags in order they will be eaten.
Repackage meals to reduce trash.
Hot meals always
3 good hot meals and lots of snacks.
Hot beverages
Clean up as you go and never leave dirty dishes lying around.
Pack it all out. Do not dump uneaten food in the snow.
Just because you can bury it does not mean it is right.
Monitor water use and stay ahead.
Watch fuel consumption. No flame without a pot on it. NO empty pots.
Don't be lazy. Cook and eat well.
Sleeping. Dry equals warm. Stay out of wind and wet and you will stay dry and warm. Open your sleeping bag as soon as your tent is set up. Get the loft going. Make sure to have insulation under you. Closed cell pads work great in the winter. An extra blanket works too when used with a pad. If nothing else your jacket should go between you and the pad or under your feet.
Your boots go in the tent and under your sleeping bag (foot end). Do not wear anything wet to bed. Change your socks and clothing before you go to bed if you are wet. ALWAYS change your socks before you get in your sleeping bag.
Avoid condensation in your sleeping bag. Wear a hat and keep your face out of the bag. Short guys. Fold unused portion of sleeping bag under you.
Take a trip to the pee tree before you go to bed. Relieve yourself and then get comfortable. You do not want to hold it till morning. You won't sleep and you won't stay warm.
4. Be a Good example. Yes, we say it twice. This will get you farther as a leader than anything else in the cold weather. If you do things right and maintain a positive attitude, those that follow you will to.
IMPORTANT. Leaders are responsible. You are the last ones in the sleeping bag after everyone is checked. You are the last ones to eat or eat before the rest. This way you can check, assist, monitor the rest as they prepare and eat.
Leaders. You are the key to success. You have been given the responsibility to teach and coach. Use it.
Build your tool box. Fill it with those things that make you a great leader and you will be. Collective knowledge and a willingness to learn, practice, and share is the success of all leaders.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Robert I'll second the suggestion for Retrievers Online magazine. You would learn a great deal for it. Contact Dennis Vought through his website or via pm on rtf. He is based in Ontario CN but winters in Georgia or Florida.
I would suggest you get at least the past full 5 years of back issues. Ask Dennis to include the issues which had the series of puppy training articles.
You will thoroughly enjoy Retrievers Online.

10. Bolinas, California
A longtime refuge of the hippie, surf, and political counterculture, Bolinas has stayed true to its roots. It hums with a beneficent vibe that supports everything from a fine-art museum that charges no admission to Free Box, a distribution center for free clothing. And for its 1,400 locals, from farmers to Silicon Valley billionaires, it's a divine and just-remote-enough place to settle down.
Situated on a rocky peninsula 13 miles north of San Francisco in Marin County, Bolinas is famous for cultivating its privacy. Signs that once marked the turn-off from California's Route 1 had been known to disappear, and in 1989 the town voted to eliminate them altogether.
But finding one's way here is worth the navigation. Shops like Bolinas Hardware & Mercantile and Bolinas People's Store make the downtown shopping scene at once old-fashioned and progressive, with both quotidian necessities and organic produce. And Bolinas's natural treasures are like a California long past: clusters of tide pools and miles of open beach.
Where to Stay: Set within the beauty of the Point Reyes National Seashore, the Point Reyes Seashore Lodge has 21 cozy rooms—some with patios—an apartment, and two cottages on lush, rolling hills. Rates start at $145; 415-663-9000 or

Fake energy bill email may not look like scam, DATCP warns
Officials say people should delete message, report to police
Wisconsin's Consumer Protection Division is warning residents about a fake energy bill arriving in people's email inboxes.
The bill claims to be from PG&E, but Pacific Gas and Electric out of California said the email provides fake account numbers and is not from them.
"People are going to get taken in," said Marty Smith, a Madison resident who received the email and forwarded it to News 3. "To me, it's a no-brainer. There are two energy companies I deal with (MG&E and Alliant) and neither are PG&E."
The bill is for "$559.7" and encourages recipients with questions to click a link to their account statements. That is particularly what worries state officials, whose consumer alert said: "By clicking on any links in the messages, consumers risk having their systems infected with malware and losing personal or banking information to the scammers."
Due to the likeness between PG&E and MG&E (Madison Gas and Electric), the local utility issued its own statement and reminded consumers it will never ask for money or personal information by email.
"Recipients of these emails should be aware that it is not an email coming from PGE or MGE," read the MG&E statement. "This is a scam. If you receive this email, delete it and call your local police department's non-emergency phone number to report it."
The local utility's consumer awareness website can be found at www.mge.com.
To see what the email looks like, click on the News 3 Spam Report, which features a spam email consumers should be leery daily.
The three viewers who sent News 3 a copy of the same email each had it arrive in their inbox from a different Internet address. One came from an email registered in the United Kingdom, one in Denmark and one in the Netherlands.
For Marty Smith, who spent 31 years working at the Wisconsin Crime Lab, questioning what's in front of him comes naturally. He hopes others can learn that scientist's creed.
"There seems to be a lot of spam emails like this, that are fishing expeditions, trying to get you to check on something," he said. "In science, you're just taught to question everything.
"It's automatic. I look at something questionable and say, 'Prove to me that you're real.'"

Since 1972, the Beaumont Center for Childhood Speech and Language Disorders has helped thousands of children with speech and language impairments find their voices. Our highly trained Beaumont Children's Hospital speech and language therapists use advanced techniques to help children achieve maximum communication capability, functional capacity and social potential.
These dedicated therapists are clinically certified and state-licensed specialists in the area of childhood speech and language disorders. Beaumont's Speech and Language Pathology department is a recognized training center for physicians and graduate level students in the field.
We offer specialized speech and language therapy treatment for children from 12 months to 10 years old. The program includes:
Parents are an important part of the Beaumont Children's Hospital speech and language therapy program from the very start. The first step for new patients is a diagnostic evaluation completed by specialized speech and language pathologists. These therapists then share the standardized test results with the parents. Diagnostic impressions and recommendations are discussed with parents and an individualized treatment program is developed for each child based upon parental input and the severity of the communication disorder.
We offer individual speech and language disorder treatment sessions up to three times a week until the child achieves his or her treatment goals. Parent observation and education continue throughout the treatment program. Home programs are designed to enhance the child's progress outside the clinic environment. Specialized group programs help each child practice new skills in a group setting, building confidence and advancing the child toward his or her goals.
Speech and language pathologists treat many childhood speech disorders and related conditions, including:
The Treatment Scholarship Plan utilizes funds donated by Lions and Lioness clubs of Southeast Michigan to help local children obtain care through the Beaumont Children's Hospital Center for Childhood Speech and Language Disorders. Families are approved based upon financial need as outlined by the Lion-Lioness Beaumont Advisory Board. Partial coverage of treatment costs may be provided for up to one year. In addition, a discount is offered to families who do not have speech as a covered health plan benefit.

Perl 6 Design Minutes for 26 May 2010
The Perl 6 design team met by phone on 26 May 2010. Larry, Allison, Patrick, Will, and chromatic attended.
:()syntax is now always signature
- we now use
foofix:[...]as the general op form instead of
- refactored the sematics of
:nth()now only ever takes a monotonically increasing list
- S03 now explains how "not-raising" works on
- it now basically matches the intuitions of an English speaker via HOP definition of negate metaop
- STD sometimes didn't require semi between statements
- statement modifiers are expression terminators but not valid statement terminators
- an unexpected statement modifier word like
ifcould terminate one statement and start another
- fixed up backslashes in character classes to allow
\setc and reject
- STD was accidentally using the same lexpad for different multis
- Cursor now treats
:()on name extension as a signature always, never as a categorical
- we shouldn't introduce the stopper for circumfix until we're in the circumfix, or we can't use the same char on both ends
- placeholder messages error messages are now much more informative and correct
- we now disallow use of placeholder after same variable has been used as a non-placeholder, even for an outer reference
- renamed add_macro (which it doesn't) to add_categorical (which it does)
- participating frequently in discussions on semantics both on irc and p6l
- working closely with sorear++ as he brings viv closer to bootstrapping, yay!
- soon can bootstrap past gimme5
- worked on Pynie this week in my limited spare time
- one goal is to generate the parser directly from the Python grammar
- wrote a small, lightweight PEG parser which generates a match tree from the Python 3 grammar
- can generate a lexer directly
- right now it creates a parse tree
- looks similar to the match nodes of NQP-rx
- dumps out a tree to the PIR parser
- working on PaFo elections for next year, but trying to delegate those
- will have more time after June 7
- working on Perl 6 advent tests
- many more people are doing more work than me
- liasing with Rakudo folks for any important Parrot bugs before the Rakudo Star release
- my current direction there is "don't break anything"
- sorear added hash flattening to NQP
- lots of work on closures in PAST and NQP
- they properly clone
- fixes some lexical problems
- need to get that to work in Rakudo
- that's tougher; Rakudo has to wrap Parrot subs
- wrapper object needs cloning as well, along with its attributes
- we'll add a new PAST node type to help
- that node understands contexts
- essentially a way to add void context optimizations to your AST
- that solves many problems in Rakudo beyond closures
- added a setting into NQP along with its test suite
- not automatically loaded, but available
- contains standard hash and array methods
- Parrot's ops2c project uses those
- other people can update and enhance that setting as necessary
- NQP also has the ability to parse type names
- NQP doesn't do anything with them yet
- eventually they'll allow the use of multis
- cleaning up some NQP bugs regarding lexicals and package storage of subs
- Bruce Keeler enabled variable interpolations in regexes
- working on some refactorings to simplify that approach
- works in NQP and Rakudo now
- that's a feature we've never had before
- Rakudo's REPL now works better, thanks to sorear
- HLLCompiler now written more in NQP as part of that
- NQP now can do
- NQP remembers lexicals in interactive mode now
- adding that to Rakudo is more complex
- working on that
- pleased with the progress on #perl6
- reviewing long term plans for GC and Lorito
- should have more time free soon

About Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is available in various thicknesses.
Thicker floors are sturdier and more resistant to high impact traffic. Thicker laminate floors can be installed over more types of subfloors due to the strength that is added during the production process. A thicker laminate flooring is recommended for high commercial wear areas, as well as busy office spaces.
Thinner laminate flooring is also durable, budget friendly and performs just like thicker options when it is installed over sturdy subfloors, such as concrete or cement. The thickness of laminate flooring does not change the installation process.
Laminate flooring makes for a great DIY project, no matter what the thickness of the laminate floor.

- Yankees at Rays
- Red Sox at Orioles

I used to like concerts at the Marine stadium on Key Biscyanne where I saw Buffet a few times and also Dave Mason from a boat
That place looks like a NY subway station now run down and covered with graffiti. i saw it on Burn Notice a few months ago and it was barely recognisable
i put up some reggae songs but naming five best all time is difficult. Maybe divide it into genre or time period like best of the 60's rock. Your list was good.

Speaking of stocks Vaark last year i played a fairly profitable game with NUGT (I know, I know)
Either the day before a FED announcment or following 3 down days in GLD I piled into this scary trade and was rewarded with several 10%+ gains.
Anybody that actually held this stock is nuts but if the gold market should ever recover I'll be all over it on the way back up.
nice chart
luckly i stopped playing this year

Investors in online-learning company K12 (LRN) are getting a lesson in pain.
Shares of K12 have plunged this morning after the online-school company said enrollment had grown by just 5.7%, and that 2014 revenue would come in between $905 million and $925 million, below FactSet's forecast of $988.5 million, while profits would fall into a range between $53 million and $57 million.
Baird's Jeffrey Meuler and Nick Nikitas explain why investors are so unhappy:
[We are downgrading] LRN to Neutral after the company issued well-below-consensus F'14 guidance yesterday after market close that materially impacts our prior view of the company's intermediate- to long-term growth profile and likely results in significantly reduced investor confidence, in our view.
Notably, this enrollment growth and F2014 revenue guidance materially change our view of LRN's intermediate- to long-term growth potential (or at least materially increases our view of the risks to achieving our prior growth expectations). We note that the 5.7% enrollment growth and 11% application growth come despite a 17k increase in enrollment caps in existing states, which represent 14.5% of F'13 managed school enrollment…
BMO Capital Markets' Jeffrey Silber notes that the short sellers appear to be right, even if for the wrong reasons:
Although management plans to provide more color on a conference call on Thursday after the close, this "vacuum" adds more uncertainty to this story. In addition, we see few near-term catalysts as F1Q enrollment results generally set the stage for the full fiscal year performance. While short sellers have been more vocal in recent days and we believe have driven much of the stock's recent decline, part of their thesis (slower enrollment growth) may be only beginning to play out – even if for different reasons than expected.
Silber cut K12 to Market Perform from Outperform.
Shares of K12 have dropped 26% to $$21.18 at 9:32 a.m., but shares of for-profit universities have been left untouched. DeVry (DV) has gained 0.1% to $30.12, ITT Educational Services (ESI) has risen 0.1% to $28.39, Capella Education (CPLA) is up 0.1% at %53.85 and Apollo Group (APOL) is unchanged at 19.94.

More than five years later, the feature is in full swing, allowing MacOS and iOS users to make video calls over both Wi-Fi and cellular networks on a variety of Apple devices. The feature may not have revolutionized the way we carry out phone calls with our loved ones and peers, but it still serves as a handy alternative to Skype or Facebook Messenger. Best of all, the software works right out of the box and doesn't require a special account or screen name to utilize — just the contact info for the person you're trying to call.
Here's our guide on how to use FaceTime, so you can be there in person, even when you're not. Additionally, check out our comprehensive guides on how to use iCloud and how to use Find my iPhone, along with our reigning picks for the best iPhone apps if you're still becoming acquainted with Apple's flagship operating system.
Checking your system requirements
FaceTime comes with a few stipulations. First off, the app can only be run on the following devices:
|iPhone 4 (or later)
|iPad Mini and iPad 2 (or later)
|Fourth-generation iPod Touch (or later)
|Mac with Mac OS X v10.6.6 (or later)
Keep in mind FaceTime video calling availability depends on carrier policies and data charges may apply while using the app over your wireless network. You will also need the phone number or email address of the person you are trying to call in order to use FaceTime, and though you can use the software via Wi-Fi using an iPhone 4 or iPad 2, neither device allows you to utilize FaceTime over your wireless network.

Tube Material
As posted earlier....here is what I use
Tubes I use:
5/32 copper and aluminum tubes that are avail in any hobby shop that carries K&S metal tubes. They are 12" long and run at about $1 each. I then line these with 1/8 ID black automotive air brake line. It is about 20 cents a foot.
I use the metal tubes if I need the weight to get the fly down, otherwise the air brake tubing is fine on its own...and a lot less work than making metal tubes.
Line the metal tube with the air brake tubing, and leave the front end of the air brake liner about 1/16th of an inch longer than the metal tube. Heat the air brake liner tube carefully with a lighter and the result will be a beautifully rolled back lip that rivals factory made tubes.
I leave the rear portion of the liner tube about 1/4 " long and roll the end back with a lighter, this creates a bit of a barb for the hook holder or junction tube.
I then take a short piece of medical IV tubing and slip this over the rear of the liner and bind it down onto the liner tube, with tying thread.
Fly Tyer;
No need to give up your Barracuda....I have found one of the cheapest and best holding tube flie mandrels are as follows
Go to a bicycle shop and ask to see a selection of wheel spokes. Pick the ones that will slip inside your tube material.
The spoke has a nut like nipple on the end of it. This is used to tighten it into the wheel. The nipple is key to the success of the mandrel.
Cut the spoke to the desired tube length.( cut the end opposite the nipple nut) make a hook like bend in the cut end, this is held in you vise jaws, just like an ordinary hook. Now undo the nipple nut and slip on the tube material. Re attach the nipple nut and tighten in down until it makes contact with the tube material. The nipple nut has a nice taper to the leading edge and it will act like a wedge in holding the tube tight, keeping it from rotating when applying your thread and fly materials.
Seriously, this is one of the best tube fly vise adaptors you will find....I am actually thinking of marketing this neat little version.
Try it out....it will end up costing you about $6 for half a dozen assorted length mandrels.
One thing I did forget to mention was how to cut the tubes to length.
After much tinkering around I found that a mini tube cutter is the best way. You can find these in any hobby shop or a hardware store. They are simply a mini version of a common pipe cutter that plumbers use......Forget using a hacksaw....it only makes burrs in the tube that are difficult to remove.
For Metal Tubing
The important part about using the cutter is NOT to go all the way through the tube , as it creates a narrowing of the tube wall. What you want to do is to use the cutter to simply score the tube. I adjust the cutter so it makes contact with the tube wall. Then tighten the cutter wheel lightly on the tube, rotate the cutter until it rotates freely without any drag, then adjust it once more and take another couple of turns.
Now stop cutting....remember all you want to do is score it....much like cutting glass. Then I place both thumbs on opposite sides of the score line and gently flex the tubing back and forth
( works best on copper) until it snaps cleanly. If you have made too deep a cut you will need to ream out the cut end. I simply use my scissors in a closed position. Insert the tapered part of my scissors into the narrowing of the tube and lightly ream out the mouth of the tube until the liner fits nicely into the metal tube.
Cutting the Air Brake Tubing: Is done with a safety razor blade; cut it perpendicular to the length for a nice clean, square edge.
By the way ...the liner is Air brake line tubing found in any good automotive store. I use LORDCO here in BC Canada ( not sure if you have that store in the U.S or not). If the parts guy is having a hard time understanding what you need , tell him it is the same line used in the tractor trailer transmission shifters, for the big rigs that use air shifters in their tranny's. It is black, is 1/8th inch inside diameter. Don't get the clear it doesn't melt as nicely as the black.
Also the IV tubing is the best that I have found for making the junction or hook holder , especially when making metal tubes. The reason being, it is very thin walled and it will match the metal tubing diameter exactly without a big lump as you will get if you use air line for aquariums. Makes for a very even body on the fly when finished.
Best regards.....Jake'
Swab Shafts
I did find the plastic swab shafts. Marketed by Krugers.
Based on the comments from you all, I performed a little experiment. I took a handfull of swabs and put them in the freezer for a couple of days, then I tried to break them.
No such luck.
Gus, very cool how you can 'cut and paste' ..
those pictures! Need to have you and wife-type over for dinner, for a lot of good reasons! the least of which is to show me how you got those cuts of tubes and hooks.
And yes! I'd like to join you in the next order for these.
LOVE the Loop tubes and tube hooks! I have always used them and am just now getting in to the HMH supplies through a friend.
Fred, email me if you want some in my next order and for cost... just got some ordered for Davey to try.
Since I needed a new Holy Water stick I also just ordered a 4wt Grey line rod and 4six FW reel to check out. We'll see!
Hope the correct 'site' pops up here.
Ordering (killing my Son's gift certificate) with Aaron in Carnation, WA. Saw the above, thought 'how cool.' Ordered up a couple of packages. Very different 'under body' for tube fly's. Well, looks like I'm short a bit on 'http.' Go to his 'tube section' to see the following.
LOOP Bottle Tubes Click Here $ 9.95
Bottle tubes are machined from bar stock brass, then finely polished, finished and plated. They offer the advantage of constructing heavily weighted compact flies with small streamlined heads. These flies cast easily and sink fast. They also enter and leave the water quietly. Furnished in each package is a length of small tubing that can be used as a liner inside the hole to protect the leader (use optional). There is also a length of very soft plastic hook-holder tubing. Priced per 10.
Thanks for all the input. I have been using the factory plastic lined aluminum tubes for a while which I really like and I just thought I would try the swab shafts, but based on what youall have said it dosnt sound like such a good idea. I think Ill go looking for the air brake line.
|I just looked through the medicine cabinet and found half a box of Johnson and Johnson swabs; at first glance they look like white paper shafts, though on closer inspection it turns out that they're smooth thin-wall white plastic shafts. These would seem ideal to use for the caudal fins of the braided mylar baitfish patterns that are gaining popularity (i.e. Sato's minnows and the lazer-tinker-type patterns). I'll try to tie some using these shafts this weekend.
|Brian Simonseth
Try "Tube Works" In Portland Or. Used them for two years. Different sizes and colors .. I saw them first at Skagit/Watcom elec. shop in Mt. Vernon WA.
I would like to qualify Kush & Fredaevans's comments - I do use "Q-tip" style tubes, but only for marabou style ties where the tube is less than .5" in length - certainly for longer flies like intruders the "Q-tip" tubes do have a habit of breaking and for these tubes my personal favourites are Kennebec's "cut to length" tubes in the freshwater size.
Tyler pretty much covered it....
"My advice is to stay away from Q-tips (then again, if you want I have a couple of large bags of them somewhere that I will never use - except to clean my ears!)."
He's right ... tied a few ... and chucked them. But, a good thing?, I've got the cleanest ears in Southern Oregon.
I used to use Q-tip tubes - there is one major reason why I no longer do - they are very fragile. I have had them break from getting too cold and brittle, from banging them on rocks as well as hitting the forward stroke a little early. It really pissed me off to have a pefectly good fly break in the middle! On top of that I also had issues with getting the finished fly off the mandril - the thread pressure would squeeze the tube down .
As I've said in other threads - I now use air brake tubing for most of my flies and narrow graphite tubes from rod tips for my low-water type tubes. My advice is to stay away from Q-tips (then again, if you want I have a couple of large bags of them somewhere that I will never use - except to clean my ears!).
Ive been tying on tubes for only a few months but here is my input.
The metal tubes that are pre-lined (Kaufmans sells them) are really nice but too pricey in my opinion.
The metal tubes you can get at hobby shops are nice and priced right and come in smaller diameters (< 1/8 O.D) but you will need to treat the ends so that they do not fray your leader. Steelhead strikes are too far and few between for me to risk loosing one because of a frayed leader. The hobby shops also sell mini tuber cutters ($5) that are just like the ones used for plumbing but for small diameter tubes. I have stopped using this tubing because of the leader issue. Some have had success treating the ends with their Dremel tools.
Metal tubing is also helping in creating a heavier tube fly if getting you fly down is desirable.
As for plastic tubing, in the 1/8 O.D. size I use hard black brake tubing (I got a bunch cheap from Kenworth Trucking parts department in Marysville, WA). This tubing is also flexible enough to accept the eye of your hook so you dont need to add any flexible tubing to as the hook holder.
Flyfishusa.com (Welches fly shop) sells and inexpensive kit of hard plastic tubes (~$3 for a dozen 6 tubes. These kits come with enough flexible tubing in the correct size for hook holders. The hard tubing is in 1/8 O.D, and also 3/32 O.D. which has become my preferred tube size.
Don't use brand name "Q-tips" they are all paper shafted - the cheaper noname brands are generaly hollow plastic e.g. Shopper's Drug Store (Canada) sells the plastic as "Life Brand"
|Ol Rich
I got my plastic swabs from Kroger. They are pink, yellow and blue.
Gad, didn't think that would be a problem.
Try hitting a 'drug (type) store.' They usually come in 300 packs like regular 'q-tips.' One box is a "life time supply." If memory serves, you may only be able to get them in a bright pink.

BlackBerry maker BlackBerry (BBRY) got more votes of confidence today, with Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek reiterating a Buy rating on the stock and a $19.50 price target, citing his "store checks" showing "solid demand" for the recently released "Z10" touch-screen BlackBerry, and Wells Fargo's Maynard Um taking over coverage of the stock from Jennifer Fritzsche and raising it to an Outperform from Market Perform with a $19 to $20 "valuation range."
BlackBerry stock is up 73 cents, or almost 5%, at $16.78.
Misek writes that he's contacted 50 stores following the debut of the Z10 at last week's media event in New York; the phone went on sale in the U.K. the next day, and in Canada this week, with RIM yesterday saying that it had its best product debut ever in Canada, based on initial order patterns.
Misek found that "half of the stores were sold out" in Canada, with Toronto and Vancouver stores In Toronto and Vancouver most of the remaining stores only had limited stock (generally a few white Z10s) with more stock available in the Prairie provinces." Best Buy (BBY) stores in Canada had a "hugely successful launch," he cites the chain as saying.
In contrast to a report yesterday from Canaccord Genuity's Mike Walkley, who said that Z10 supplies were limited to 15 units in most stores, Misek thinks supplies were generally higher than that:
Some larger stores had 30-50 in their initial shipment with flagships getting 100+. Most stores had limited information on the timing and size of additional shipments as BBRY drop ships but most expected more early next week.
However, Misek is actually more interested in BlackBerry's new "BlackBerry Enterprise Server," or BES, version 10, rolled out last month, which promises to manage multiple devices, including Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and phones based on Google's (GOOG) Android software, not just BlackBerry.
He thinks the trend is looking good for adoption of the software:
After our initial upgrade and highlighting of Blackberry's new MDM strategy, several clients have noted that Blackberry is not listed on Gartner's magic quadrant for MDM. We believe this is due to RIM's true MDM offering being new, and based on our checks we believe Gartner will add Blackberry to its next update. We have no idea what the grade will be but based on our anecdotal checks most enterprises that have trialed BES 10 seem truly impressed. We believe 1,600 out of Blackberry's estimated 10,000 enterprise installed base were trialing before the formal download was made available about two week ago. Since then we believe hundreds of additional enterprises have downloaded the BES 10 server software and that overall 20% of the Fortune 500 are in trials. We believe the additional enterprise trials are beginning to support our BES thesis.

- Description
"The heaviest traffic was recorded in Vienna regions, particularly on the A23 (south-east trunk
road) with an average traffic of 120 000 vehicles a day". But under this crazy motorway junction of A23 exists a rest of nature, in former times a member of the Danube river. While taking the gigapan I could hardly hear the camera blip, the traffic was very loud!
taken 2011-06-21 14:00 CEST
This water body "Oberes Mühlwasser" is a residual of the Danube river, formed by the stream regulation 1882 to 1890. (see this old map, try to compare it to today's map files.myopera.com/drosera/albums/9046612/HistorischeKarte_Donau_.jpg )
In Dec 1970 the highway "Autobahnknoten Kaisermühlen", part of "Südosttangente", was opened traversing this lot. The part "Knoten Prater" to "Knoten Kaisermühlen" is the most frequented street in Austria and one of the most frequented in Europe. The whole long-distance traffic from south/east to north is using this section. The last project , the underground line U2, was built in 2010 (see it in the gigapan on the left side).
The back water "Mühlwasser" sprawls about five kilometers. It is preserved originally and now opened to the public as a nature reserve. Its also an outstanding natural memorial of Vienna. Many birds, fishes and amphibians find their hatchery and spawning grounds there.
However running modifications are essential. Notably the proportion of reed to water expanse
have to keep in balance. It is Vienna's township intention to regulary trim the reed with a special mow-ship. That has to be done within a small time-slot due to brooding birds.
Sadly not seen in the Gigapan this is as well the habitat of fishes and water birds (2002):

Six years after the Maple Leafs played their final American Hockey League game in St. John's, the league is returning to the city for the 2011-12 hockey season.
The Telegram can confirm an announcement outlining the relocation of the Manitoba Moose franchise to Mile One Centre is set for 1 o'clock next Friday afternoon.
Ironically, the Maple Leafs franchise, which lasted 14 years at Memorial Stadium and Mile One, played its final game in Winnipeg on April 30, 2005, when the Moose eliminated St. John's from the Calder Cup playoffs.
Sources indicate this transaction has been ongoing for some time, but has been contingent upon Winnipeg landing an NHL franchise.
With the Atlanta Thrashers' relocation to Manitoba a done deal, only the official signing of papers is needed to complete the AHL transaction.
The Telegram has also learned the new St. John's franchise will remain the property of Mark Chipman's True North Sports and Entertainment for at least one year, at which time the team will be purchased by local ownership.
The prospective new owner is former premier Danny Williams.
It's been Williams, vice-chairman of the initial St. John's Maple Leafs' board of directors, and Glenn Stanford, the team's director of operations during its 14-year run, who have worked with Chipman and True North over the past several weeks spearheading the relocation deal.
Neither Williams nor Stanford were available for comment Friday.
Since 2001-02, when the Moose joined the AHL after five years in the old International Hockey League, Manitoba has been the primary farm team of the NHL's Vancouver Canucks. However, with the transfer of the Atlanta franchise to Winnipeg, the new St. John's club will be the farm team of the fledgling Winnipeg franchise, with the Canucks looking elsewhere for an AHL partner.
The Thrashers' AHL affiliate had been the Chicago Wolves. Because Chicago owns the AHL franchise and not Atlanta, the minor league club is not part of the NHL transaction leaving the Wolves to find an NHL partner.
That partner could be the Canucks.
The arrival of the AHL club in St. John's will make for a busy couple of months for Stanford, who will resign from his position as president and governor of the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs to assume a similar title with the as-yet-to-be-named St. John's team.
September will mark the first time since spring 2008 that Mile One will have an anchor tenant. After the Toronto Maple Leafs, under then-general manager John Ferguson, moved their farm team closer to the parent club and Toronto's Ricoh Centre, St. John's landed a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League expansion franchise.
But the Fog Devils lasted only three years before owner Derm Dobbin sold the franchise to Montreal businessman and lawyer Farrel Miller, where it became known as the Junior de Montreal.
There was some discussion early in the new year about a return of the QMJHL to St. John's, but a group looking to bring major junior hockey back to the city failed to secure a deal.
Until this week, the best hope for hockey at Mile One appeared to rest with the ECHL, an AA-tiered league a notch below the AHL.
The group had met with the ECHL's board of governors, and league commissioner Brian McKenna was in St. John's last month to visit the city and tour Mile One.
Next month, the group was to travel to Las Vegas where its application into the league for the 2012-13 season was to be voted on by the board.
However, amid mounting speculation about the AHL's return to St. John's, the ECHL group withdrew its bid this week.
The landscape of the AHL has certainly changed since 2004-05. Since then, the league has grow by two teams to 30, and has eight new franchises — Charlotte Checkers, Adirondack Phantoms, Lake Erie Monsters, Abbotsford Heat, Peoria Rivermen, Texas Stars, Oklahoma City Barons and Rockford IceHogs.
The Moose played in the Western Conference's North Division last season. There's a chance St. John's could remain in the North, though a move to the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division seems more likely.
However, that will not happen in time for next season, when St. John's will be lumped in with divisional rivals Hamilton, Lake Erie (Cleveland), Abbotsford, B.C., Grand Rapids Griffins, Rochester Americans and the Marlies, which should make for a hot ticket.

R.W. Baird & Co.'s Internet analyst Colin Sebastian today offers some thoughts after attending the "Leading in Local" advertising conference in San Francisco this week, a conference that suggested to him "local advertising and commerce remain meaningful growth opportunities in the sector," and that Google (GOOG), eBay (EBAY), and Facebook (FB) all stand to benefit.
Sebastian maintains Outperform ratings on all three stocks.
Google has an immediate opportunity to match local positioning data with keyword searches to drive purchases, he writes, citing the presentation by the company's head of "mobile solutions," Brendon Kraham:
According to Google, 94% of consumers search for local information, and 54% these searches will result in a store visit, 48% calling a store (click-to-call), and 29% ultimately making a purchase in-store. Google believes that the combination of keyword search and location data provides unrivaled value for advertisers, which lead to the introduction Enhanced Campaigns. Mr. Kraham said that businesses using location-specific strategies are seeing meaningfully better ad performance, for example by adjusting keyword bids higher for dense urban areas and for consumers near physical storefronts or places of interest (e.g. airports). As one case study, Google mentioned that a search advertiser had improved advertising ROI 184% by adjusting keyword bidding by zip codes through enhanced campaigns. While there are still some lingering investor concerns over Google's competitive position on the Mobile web, we continue to view the company in a positive light given strong mobile search share, leading market share of the Android operating system, and a number of key mobile applications, such as Maps, Gmail and YouTube.
Facebook's head of product marketing Brian Boland talked about a doubling in small and medium businesses advertising on Facebook, a doubling from the prior year, and said local ads are a big priority for the firm:
With just 4% of local businesses buying ads on Facebook, we still believe the company has a clear opportunity to grow local ad revenues meaningfully. Specifically, Facebook's focus on Mobile should help to facilitate higher local ad spend leveraging a combination of location-based targeting in addition to the site's vast database of user data. In addition, Facebook ads port seamlessly across devices and form factors, meaning that no special mobile ad unit, ad format or creative campaign is necessary. Key reasons cited for a recent uptick in SMB ad spend include simplified ad offerings coupled with a simple ad buying methodology. Facebook is also improving measurement capabilities in order to quantify the ROAS (return on ad spend) from mobile ads. In the year ahead, Facebook will focus efforts on improving ease of use for SMBs, create even more targeted reach (e.g. expanding audience data and selection), driving deeper user engagement, and demonstrating effective results (i.e. analytics and measurement). Overall, we continue to believe that Facebook is well positioned to help accelerate the shift of ad spend from offline local channels to more effective and measurable online campaigns.
And eBay head of marketing Jody Ford talked about how the company has staked out a middle ground between the search giants and the social networks:
In contrast to "utility" sites such as Amazon and Google and the "Engagement" sites such as Pinterest and Fab, eBay sees itself in an advantaged middle ground. As the company has outlined before, local commerce offers eBay an opportunity to tap into the 75% of retail sales that occur within 15 miles of consumer homes, leveraging all of the product inventory that is "forward deployed" in retail stores. Specifically, eBay is offering merchants the ability to connect this local inventory with eBay's large consumer buyer base, through applications such as eBay Now (one hour local delivery), in-store pick-up, and virtual storefronts. eBay expects to expand eBay Now into 25 cities during 2014, utilizing a network of couriers (aka Valets) sourced by the recently acquired Shutl service. Mr. Ford indicated that in-store pickup is ramping well, with consumers citing the lack of shipping charges and instant gratification as key reasons for selecting this fulfillment option. In the U.K., Mr. Ford noted that eBay's partnership with Argus provides 150 pick-up locations for consumers that services 25 merchants selling 50k product listings, with strong consumer adoption to-date.

New Opportunities to Improve Families' Employment Outcomes
August 2, 2012
States have an important new opportunity to improve the employment outcomes of low-income families. In July, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released an Information Memorandum indicating the Administration's interest in granting waivers to states for the administration of the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. States may now seek waivers from the administration that allow them to experiment with new strategies to help low-income parents on TANF connect with employment.
States are required to demonstrate that 50 percent of the TANF caseload complies with work activity requirements. Advocates have long been concerned that the federal rules regarding "what counts" as a work activity is often a poor match for what many parents need to successfully prepare for, or enter, the workforce. Families in which a parent or a child has a disability are often poorly served under the current rules. Some are unable to meet the required number of hours in a work activity. Others require work preparation activities that are not countable, and so are simply not offered.
The mismatch between what families need to transition to work and what TANF agencies can provide has important consequences. Some households face impending time limits for cash assistance without ever receiving the individually tailored supports that could help them succeed in the workforce. High numbers of families, including those that include a member with a disability, lose cash assistance because they are unable to comply with work participation requirements. This contributes to the growth in the number of families living in extreme poverty without income from employment or social benefits. It also places families at greater risk of becoming homeless.
Waivers that allow States to expand the services they offer can help those with the most significant barriers to employment succeed and help them avoid falling deeper into poverty. When TANF agencies are able to successfully transition families into the workforce, they also reduce their vulnerability to homelessness. Ensuring States have the flexibility to deploy the tools that work to help families quickly connect to work can also help reduce their need for homeless services, allowing those scarce dollars to go further and help other vulnerable families in need.
Homeless service providers and advocates should explore how their State plans to take advantage of the new opportunity made available to improve employment services to low income families. For more information, contact Sharon McDonald at email@example.com.

Again the reiteration of a 10 Win SEC Team playing in the Chick-fil-a Bowl
Again the reiteration of a 10 Win SEC Team playing in the Chick-fil-a Bowl
Color me concerned that *uburn actually fired Chizik. They have a puncher's chance of getting it right. Well, either that or there may be more preachers with talented QB sons who are suddenly able to do hundreds of thousands of dollars of renovations on their church to bring it into code compliance. God does work in mysterious ways, but you have to wonder if they are quite that mysterious.
Speaking of which, all I heard in 2010 was that it was a "God thing" going on down at *uburn. What does that mean for the last couple of years????
If they're smart, they'd pick up Bobby Petrino. Above all, you damn sure better win in The SEC or you're irrelevant in a hurry.
I would agree but for the fact that Petrino is radioactive right now because of the employment law implications of hiring his mistress and lying to his boss about it. Plus it would be just slightly hypocritical for the "*uburn fambily", as Pat Dye might say, to hire someone who doesn't match up with the *uburn Creed, wouldn't it? And surely they don't want a mean old coach like Saban, do they?
It has been a lot of fun watching them implode and paint themselves into various corners at the same time. It is only this much fum because we have been there before and will be there again. You LSU folks really miss out not having to share your state with a conference rival.
Did you hear Charles Barkley's comment? He said, "I sure as Hell hope auburn isn't paying any of these players."

Thanks to Verna for completing Psalms 84:10.
Would anyone (other than me) like to begin another game?
Notes for new players:
* Game rules are posted on page 1347.
* The first game was easy. The games will become increasingly difficult as they progress, especially without the book, chapter, and verse posted at the beginning.
* There will likely be slight translation differences, but keep the game going as well as we can.
* It is a good way for us to recall scripture verses and their location.
* Join us in the game!

I just got around to doing some work on a project that's been on my mind foe aeons. Certainly long enough that I've talked with both HelixCode (err, Ximian) and Red Hat about releasing their versions of it. Never made any real progress, but the Ximian person I talked to had stupid reasons behind it. Anyway, I have need for a system that can take SRPMs and build them in to binary RPMs in an unattended manner. I wrote up some of my thoughts on the topic, in a rather haphazard manner, and put them online here I've also put up the XML source, (though it's using DocBook 4.1.2 instead of DocBook 4.2, because 4.2 doesn't work properly on my RHL8.0 box) http://linuxweasel.com/~gleblanc/rpm_build_system_design.html
So, I decided to try out Wine this afternoon, since I wanted to play a video game, and I no longer have windows installed. Sounds simple, up2date wine, then run my program. Of course, that didn't work. Somebody suggested a newer wine, so I went ahead and fought with the RPM, and got the newest one to build (removed 2 patches, re-worked one other). Still didn't work. So I went to the wine website, and started poking around. I found some stuff in the faq-o-matic there which was helpful, although the question in question was in need of a good purging of confusing info. So, I got it working, and installed StarCraft (though the DirectX install blew up. Not sure if that should have worked or not). StarCraft actually runs, and if I run via sudo, it runs full-screen, and looks very spiffy, but it locks up my keyboard and mouse. Gar, back to the FAQ-O-Matic
davidr What about companies who, instead of releasing specs for their products, release drivers in binary-only form? BTW, which products does Logitech not release specs for? Their mice seem to work just fine for me.
As long as we're all thinking and talking about certifications and trusts, I thought I'd share some of mine. :)
One of the big things that I think lots of folks miss out here is the dedication part of certifications. The dedication part can change, and when it does, the level you certify someone at can change. I think I'll go with a hypothetical example, since it's easier to make fit. Let's say that Joe was one of three people who were the leaders of an important software project. They each had areas where they helped contributors, and wrote lots of code themselves. They were working lots of hours on their software, and getting folks involved. I come along, and start dinking around with this software, asking questions, and come to know Joe, and that he's really pushing this project along. Since it's an important project, and I'm pretty familiar with Joe after a while, I certify him on Advogato as a free software "Master". Some time passes, and Joe decides that he's not going to work on that project anymore. Perhaps he takes a new job which doesn't permit him the time to work on free software, so he's only contributing in smaller ways now. Joe puts this sort of stuff into his advogato diary, and it's clear that he's not putting the same kind of time into free software as he was. Joe may still be just as competent a free software hacker as he was, but since he's not pushing an important project along, I decide that he's fufilling a role as a free software "Journeyer" now, and change his certification to represent this. This is the right thing to do if Advogato isn't a popularity contest, since it represents the role that Joe is playing at the moment. Joe won't be offended, he's just doing something else now. I know of quite a few people who have change how much they work on free software, but not many of them have ever had time for advogato.
So, as for the rankings... It seems to me that there is some inflation of the certifications, but I'm not sure where it comes from. Perhaps it's just based on people not thinking hard enough about how they certify someone. In my mind, "Master" is a pretty exclusive group. It's for somebody who's not only the driving force behind a free software project, but is the driving force behind a big one. So, Alan pushes along a big part of the kernel, and David Merril pushes along the LDP pretty well. They're both clearly "Masters" in my book, since both the kernel and the LDP seem to be large important projects to me.
I want to write some more on Journeyer, and perhaps Apprentice, but I'm tired, so it will wait until later.
Spelling! :)

This is actually from 23 Oct 2001, I just forgot to post
I read through that Linux Certification article I mentioned yesterday. Pretty interesting to me, since I'm looking into getting some certs. The CompTIA Linux+ looks to be about on the same level as the last CompTIA exam I took. I'm A+ certified, and that exam was trivially easy. I might just go down and take the Linux+ exam next week, since I won't have to study for it (other than to edit a file with vi again, I haven't done that for a couple of months). I haven't finished reviewing the LPI and SAIR ones, but I think that the LPI one will certainly be on my list of things to get. I didn't realize that the RHCE was such a broad exam, or I'd have looked at it a lot sooner. That one is definately on my list, but I think I'll have to make sure I'm prepared first.
Tomas Ogren is helping me to get "push-sync" set up for ftp.gnome.org. This will mean that it gets updated immediately whenever somebody puts a new release on master.gnome.org, and we won't have so much trouble with things being out of date. The old setup is much too slow.
We got the "install-module" mess cleaned up there, but no further. install-module is the script that manages the ftp site, making symlinks, diffs, and that sort of thing. It's very slick, but we had a few dozen copies of it running around. Now, just 1 real copy is left, making things much simpler. Now we only have to keep track of a single copy, and can set up that single copy to "trigger" the sync. Hopefully we'll get this going to several machines soon, so that ftp.gnome.org is a RR DNS.
We've got to get new DocBook tools on the gnome.org webserver, but I haven't got time to do all of the research required for this. Darn. I sent out mail asking for volunteers to work on this, hopefully I'll get some replies.
I spent some time with drake this evening, trying to customize Norm's stylesheets a little bit. I think we figured out how things were getting called, but we don't have any clue how to customize it. Drake is going to email docbook-apps, and I'm going to read the replies. :-) I just found out that there's some XSL information in TDG, so I'm going to try to read that tonight.
"Simplicty does not precede complexity, but follows it."
Great quote.
I'm hacking on spec file today, and making some progress. I got a bunch of the needed cleanup done on the gnome-vfs one, although it's going to need a bit more hacking/cleaning. I'm working on gnome-applets.spec.in right now, and it's requireing a complete re-write (almost). Ick. At least I know where some of the problems were coming from before. the %configure macro is convient, but broken. Ah, well, what can ya do?
I'm also playing with Jonathan's doc-i18n-tool, because nobody else seems to be able to be bothered. I've got enough stuff on my plate, but this is too important to let slide. Well, playing with is a bit of a stretch. I downloaded it, tried it out a bit, got on #i18n, and started nagging people. :-) They're playing with it right now, and I'm getting tired and ready for bed. OK, email sent with some issues.
Here's a Tech Republic article on linux certs that I'm going to read in the morning (well, later in the morning). Enjoy http://click.online.com/Click?q=9c-xtXpQanxk_islEk2c9B3tOiR

If he feels this way about our guns shouldn't we have a problem with his?
If he feels this way about our guns shouldn't we have a problem with his?
The sign was illegally placed in the right of way, a letter was sent from the building department, complaints had been called in, the officer removed the illegally placed sign and brought it to the police department where the owner is free to pick it up. The only crime committed here is the lawyer robbing the man of his money, seriously he's going to pay to have the property surveyed when it takes two seconds and a 25' taped measure to tell him the sign is illegally placed. Wouldn't a good reporter simply take a few minutes to fact check the situation? Its a much better story that the police officer stole the sign, thus you have another sham piece of reporting from Fauxnews.
Had it been a BHO sign then you might see the problem!
In general there are easements to cover the public right of way - if they extend beyond the road the property owner normally takes care of the vegetation in question, but not always . There are state laws, in most states, that do not allow the abutting property owner to claim adverse possession though it may be neglected by the jurisdiction in question. The road could be anywhere within the easement so a measurement from the road center line is not always a good indicator of where the property line of the abutting owner lies . I do not know NY law pertaining to ROW's.
Having had the discussion about natural waterways & constructed ditches with one of our city's finest recently, I can tell you that they need to stay within their cocoon of knowledge. Handling bad guys & giving traffic tickets are a whole lot different (& BTW not something I would care to be involved in) than dealing with property law, though the regulators would like you to believe they are qualified to deal with the latter.
Folks have histories in small towns. Those small towns that treat everyone with equal respect, regardless of history, are the ones that get it right .

Looking at the picture, it surprises me that it has grown up so close to the road. I am certain that neither I nor the county would let it get in such a condition. I just had a track hoe clean up along the road frontage of a farm that I bought about 5 years ago. Never thought about asking the county before doing it since I own the land and what I did only made it easier for the county to maintain.
Easements can be quite vague. Here I suspect since the easement was given for free, I doubt there is really any right of way as they say. I would not doubt that the 15 ft. restriction is really the result of an ordinance that may very well violate the property owner's rights. THAT is why a lawyer for the owner may be needed. I have always felt it best to get along with the county but I would ASK how they came up with the 15 ft. restriction on my own property.
It was proven to be in a legal area. And to bad we can't strip those cops of their 2nd amendment. They probably fit into the category of the law enforcement and national guard during Katrina. I still can't get this out of my head. I think someones sig line says,,,"we are living in cuba now" It appears so from the scenes on this video clip

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalms 12: 8
The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exulted
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
This is the quote from the person who had the sign removed.Looking at other photo he posted (a different photo I couldn't up here), the sign is maybe three feet from the road. The police office removed the sign that was in violation of the city ordinance. The hatred should be aimed at the people that made the ordinance and/or the city attorney who reviews the ordinances, not the officer who is enforcing them. The real problem with small town politics is any nit-wit can get elected to city counsel, school board, township board etc., and then they feel entitled to do anything they see fit.I am definitely waiting to hear from shooter. Technically its a biolation of town code to post signs within 15' of the road...... but, as shooter advised; the town code violates my first amendment rights. In the original thread the town actually sent me a letter to remove it but when I called the town building indpector he told me it was ok "for now".

It's hard to believe we're only three and half weeks away already.
I've retitled the thread since it's no longer about SDCC 2011.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I stay at probably a dozen hotels every year - mostly for Civil War, gunfighter, and movie shoots I'm doing.
While it might be obvious that I'm armed with at least 2 or more firearms wherever I'm staying or going, I've never had a problem - and can't remember the last time I had a noisy neighbor either.
I usually pick Holiday Inn Express or Best Westerns though. In their absense I've stayed in Motel 6s, Comfort Inns, and the likes - whatever was available (a hanuted hotel in a western ghost town too, actually.)
Still, I've never had a problem and now we're talking about at least 36 hotel stays since 2009 and my kidney transplant.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I usually carry a folding knife for such locations, maybe I should switch that to a fold-assist though, faster and nastier sounding. (All my knives are CA-legal, copper! )

My in-laws lived in Chula Vista, right near the border, for a while. I never experienced any problems, even walking a mile from the trolley stop at night, carrying a few bags of Comic-Con swag.

¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
