Bowfin on the fly
Last year I landed a couple of bowfin on the fly. They were great sport.
I happen to care very little about the opinions of the locals, or the old guys, or the rednecks or anyone else who has uneducated opinions about an amazing native sportfish like bowfin.
In situations where people mock me for my personal choice of targets (I fish almost exclusively for carp on the fly now), I either ignore or educate. There are many myths about 'roughfish' and few of them are true.
I say, walk in with the next giant bowfin you catch and proudly say " I think I have a record!"
As for flies, I had luck with chartruse and silver clouser minnows.
Good luck.
|I really dont think too many people care about the whole process of taking a bowfin to a certafied scale. I wouldn't imagine that the fly record would be that big. I've hooked alot, landed few, of fish pushing the 12 pound or so state record. And frankly I wouldnt stop fishing to officially weigh a fish that the local grizzled old men are going to look at me real funny for.
|I imagine that you're going to use a size 8 because it's a size similar to the lures you currently use for bowfins; I've caught them on some fairly large lures and bait, so to peak the interest of the fish I would consider using size 2 streamers and small- to mid-sized saltwater patterns such as deceivers and clousers. I think that a 7-weight outfit would provide good sport. Some of the bowfins I've seen in Muskegon look like they could give even an 8-weight a run for the money. Post some photos if you catch them! I wonder what the fly fishing records for bowfin are?
bowfin on fly
I've been goin up to minnesota's ottertail county to fish. I have always had tremendous fun catching big bowfin/dogfish in the eight pound class on crappie spinning gear right next to docks. They eat anything in their path. They are big, all muscle, and almost always jump immediatly after being hooked. I was planning to see if I could catch them on size 8 streamers with an eight pound leader on a 7 weight rod. Does any know anything about fly fishing for these brutes?

I missed them on Tuesday I guess. Yesterday, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan (TPM), and R2D2 were on the pegs with BG-J38 parts.
I should have asked you guys if you want any of those. I'm not planning on getting them myself.
I will buy (at your cost minus one dollar) Jaina, Jacen, and K'Kruhk figures from which YOU CAN REMOVE THE DROID PART and I'll pay for your shipping cost, too. PM me if you just want the droid parts and not the EU figures. However, I'm not interested in the Dark Trooper.
Also, I will need the parts to build one BG-J38, so ask me about your extra parts you might want to trade or sell.
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.
This late AM:
La Cienega TRU -- no EU, no multipacks -got cleaned out in the morning by some collectors or scalpers according to an employee. Cherrypicked cases, but no remnants of BG-J38. I did find and stash a CW Commander TX-20 droid though. PM for location. Sorry if i dont respond quick, I'm working graveyard & need to sleep now. Oh yeah, they had a few Cmdr Stones and Snow anakins & Obi-wans, maybe 1 firefighter droid too.
Culv.Cty TRU -- no EU. Nothing good -AT FIRST....... Searched the SW section up & down 5 min., looked behind all boxes, checked endcaps. At this point i was ****ed. Been to 7 TRUs without finding TFU. Start to leave out of frustration. .....alright.... one more quick check. What's this behind the plush/bobblehead toys? Ultraslim packs -not Evolutions, not Battlepacks, reads The Force unleashed on top. Holy crap -it's the packs!!! Only one of each set left!!!!!!! Grabbed them and bolted for the checkout. Be careful with these --very small, slim box. Almost didn't see them, and this may be what prevented me from finding them early. (Not knowing how they looked!) Awesome looking sets, too bad i didnt have the $5 off $25 coupon they gave out a few wks ago.
rem, PM if you want the TX-20 droid location
I got a Firefighter Droid at LF TRU today...saw Hootie and Sanchez there and then later on, Snags.
I checked out Valencia TRU later on...nothing!
Ok last detailed report for a bit (i hope).
LF TRU: Since TRU is having the bogo 50% off sale on SW this week I decided to try to get a price adjust on the TFU packs and magnaguards i bought yesterday. Called beforehand, and a nice lady said that it could be done within 90 days. Wow, thought it was 14. Anyway, i grabbed all my stuff and went up there to the cust. serv. counter. Success!! Everything was adjusted - no problems. I don't have "force persuade" (ala KOTOR) like Snags and Crunchy, but this was nice -.
In the aisle: had the CW Orto Plutonia wave, some on the pegs and even a case open on the floor. No magnaguard though. (I did find 1, but it's spoken for -stashed). So snow rex, obi-wan, anakin, firefighter droid, cmdr stone were present. No EU, no TFU packs, no new comic packs. But go nuts on the bogo sale if you do find that stuff. Good luck.
I found several cases of that Force Unleashed multi-packs. Both versions.
I didn't know you guys were so into those.
I turned them all down after giving them a good look-through. Pretty cool figures though.
I might have army-built the Fallucians if they came single-carded.
Proxy interested me, too.
But I'm not a big FU fan. Yet I guess. I have the game, but I don't seem to want to play it. I'm a baseball fanatic and MLB almost never leaves the disc slot in my system. I beat the Dodgers all 3 games in the last series I played them.
I'd like multi-packs of McFarlane baseball player action figures - fully articulated ones - with Manny Ramierez' expression looking like the dreadlock-guy that the Predator kills in the 2nd movie (with Danny Glover). Heath Bell will play my Predator!

Designs printed circuit board layouts
PCB is a simple tool, without memory and time consuming fuctions like autorouter and auto placement, for designing printed circuit boards. Most settings can be specified by resources, passed in the command line or changed at runtime. Layout related settings are saved together with the data. Each layout has a unique name and color (if supported by your display); 8 layers are supported in addition to a silkscreen layer. You can control the visibility of pins and SMD pads. All files are 7 bit ASCII and can be preprocessed with any UNIX command that writes its results to stdout (GNU m4 is required). The layout grid ranges from 1/1000 inch up to 250/1000 inch; the maximum is defined at compilation time. Zooming is supported. PCB temporarily saves a copy the critical data in /tmp so nothing is lost during critical sections of the program, and supports an unlimited (depending on memory) number of undo operations; redo is also available in case you change your mode. PCD is now a part of gEDA (http://gpleda.org).

A bit more line stuff
When I got my Daiwa Cross River 16' 10-12, I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't have any lines for it. The rod had been intended for a salmon DT-11 so I tried my XLT 8/9 and a Delta Long 9/10 on it. Despite appearing on the light side for the rod, both worked great.
While I was putting together that DT lines chart, I originally had some entries for the Cross River. The 90' XLT has a casting weight of 717 and a DT-11 at 90' comes in at 693. The DL 9/10 at 65' is 499 while the DT-11 at 65' is 484. A bit more confirmation for using this sort of chart to compare DT lines to modern WF speys. In this case, it also proved that it could predict a modern WF spey for an older rod made for DT salmon lines.
While doing some research on DT lines and older salmon rods, I turned up two other rules of thumb that are useful: average casters should be able to lift line that is five times their rod length and that DT ratings for older rods were based on around 70' of line, or roughly this five times limit.
Thanks for the info -- sticking running line on an 82' DT turns it instantly into a cheap long belly. I'm all for cheap.
I'm after spey DTs, not so much for the length, for as you point out we'll never cast to the end of them, but for the front taper. The difference between the front of a standard DT10 and a spey DT10 makes a big difference in overall grain weight at the 60'-70' range and makes a big difference in casting weight as well (639 vs. 672 and 410 vs. 448 respectively at 65'). The standard DTs will work just fine, but because the heaviest is usually only a DT10 and often a DT9, it does limit those lines to the lighter rods.
|Nooksack Mac
Spey-length DTs: what for?
If you're correct about 70 feet being the usual casting limit for most casters using double tapers and shorter rods - and that sounds about right to me - then realize that we needn't go to unnecessary lengths (pun unplanned, but appropriate) to find spey-length double taper lines. Most DTs are either 82 or 90 feet, so they'll serve just fine as is. And they're a lot easier to buy on the cheap. Last year, I bought a group of three Shakespeare DT10F 90' lines on eBay for $6. They're intended for splicing, but could be used out of the box.
And it's easy to enhance a standard double taper. Forty feet of running line (left over from that old WF line you saved or cut up) spliced onto the back end of an 82' DT makes it a 122' line. Want to use tips? Cut off the front taper (ca. seven feet), add a loop and a 15-foot sinking tip, and you have an inexpensive, versatile 130-foot line.
|If you have the Expert 6/7 then the DT Spey 8 wt. should be perfect as the 6/7/8 would probably be a bit heavy for it. From what I can remember when I tried one and from what has been written about it, the rod is more of a 6 than a 7 -- so your 8 wt. fits the "two over" rule of thumb quite nicely. You'll probably be able to cast the same distance with half the effort using the spey DT as pushing an overweight line is never fun.
that makes me very excited
Peter, thanks for all the work, At 55 feet, my DT8 should be 25 less grains than the WC. This makes me very happy because several people have said that the windcutter is too heavy for my rod. 25 grains may be just the ticket.
Casting Weigh Chart -- DT to WC and MS
This chart compares the casting weight of standard and spey DTs to WCs and MSs at their respective lengths.
The chart is sorted by casting weight, grouping lines of comparable weights together. The "Two Over" rule of thumb works in pretty well most cases for both WC and MS length lines. As the WC and MS grain weights do not go up in a linear fashion (and the DTs do) we end up with the heavy weight MSs tending to be a bit closer to one over.
To use the chart, locate the WC or MS that works best on your rod and the DT lines closest to it would the best choice when fished at that length.
Here's the chart for Airflo lines:
|At this point I'm using spey DT lines though I may go to regular ones if I have trouble finding the sink rates I want. On my casting weight chart, when measured at 55' a spey DT two ratings over has a slightly higher casting weight than a WC and a regular DT is slightly lower.
dt lines
Peter, Are you experimenting with regular DT Lines )for single handers) and raising the numbers accordingly or DT spey lines (marked as spey)? I just picked up a DT SPey 8 wt. I am thinking of trying it on the CND 1307 next week. I'll let you know of the results,
I'll PM you the links as they're not sponsors.
Very interesting discussion, do you have any sources for mail order DT 10 lines?
I have two 8126 rods that would be ideal for experimentation.
Fred Krow
DT Beginnings
Supposed to hit the Credit today and catch some fish but it's icing over with the cold and I've come down with one. Didn't figure it would be too smart to go get cold with a cold.
Ended up just tossing some switch casts in the backyard with the SA DT-10-F Ultra4 Salmon on the Loop 8124 using about 50' of line past the tiptop. Even just switch casting on snow, the differences between a DT and a WC are obvious, with the DT feeling very smooth and loading the 8124 quite nicely. Some short overhead casts felt quite nice too and the "two over" estimate for 40' - 60' fishing distances seems about right.
I have two reels with DTs inbound via ebay but they're not here yet. I'm anxious to get the DT-10-I on the water to see how it handles vs. a sinktip, hopefully in sub-freezing conditions.
I plan to keep adding to this thread as I collect experience with DTs (and welcome other input as well) with the idea that by next winter we'll have enough info to identify what has a good shot at working and what doesn't. Hopefully we'll end up with a winter fishing rig tuned to the GLs and not just a copy of the PNW stuff.
So far the idea looks like this. A sinking DT offers the following:
The downsides look like:
Should emphasize that I see the use of DT full sinkers as a close-in method where most casts are 60' or less. To lift and cast longer lines would take 15' and 16' rods and I don't think too many people want to go there.

For Joe Schilling Last Man Standing is About His Legacy
- Written by Dave Walsh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
This weekend at GLORY Last Man Standing Joe Schilling has a date with a second GLORY tournament. The first one was a victory for Schilling at GLORY 10, putting him atop of the heap of GLORY's stacked Middleweight division. At least for that night. We can easily say that GLORY 10 was a great night for Schilling, but GLORY 12 was not a great night for Schilling, although he'll be the first one to tell you that it wasn't his best night.
Heading into GLORY's Last Man Standing tournament Joe is faced with three past opponents in Wayne Barrett, Artem Levin and Simon Marcus, each of which are involved in the tournament in different parts of the bracket, with there being a chance of him meeting each one on Saturday if things turn out that way. Revenge doesn't seem to be on the mind of Schilling this time, though, nor does calling out a round for a knockout. Instead, he seems refocused.
At Last Man Standing Joe Schilling's night starts off with not only a rematch, but a third meeting with an old adversary in Simon Marcus, but that is the furthest thing from his mind right now; "You know, everyone is asking me about rematches, they are all really excited about that. I guess there is more of an emotional connection to the previous fights than even I do. Rematch with Simon, rematch with Barrett, rematch with Levin, and I'm not thinking about that at all. It doesn't even cross my mind, I'm a different fighter and I don't expect them to be the same fighter. I'm really just focused on winning the tournament.
"Gotta go through Simon Marcus first, then I gotta go through Barrett, but if it's Barrett I'll beat Barrett, if it's Stoica then I'll be Stoica. Who even knows who comes through that other bracket. It's crazy. I'm really focused I'm being the best Joe Schilling that I can be that night. I've made some changes in my game, in my lifestyle and the mental side of it. I feel like I'll really be able to express what I'm capable of on the 21st. I'm really excited to show everybody what I'm capable of, but also show myself what I'm capable of. The rematches, though? They really mean nothing to me. At the end of the night, when I'm holding my belt, I'll probably be laughing like, 'Oh I knocked out Simon,' but it's not what I'm focused on right now."
GLORY 12 was a tough night for Joe, but it wasn't the first time that he's had to face a loss in his career. "Yeah, when I lose a fight I really get very internal; why I lost the fight, what I was thinking, what I was doing. There are a lot of mistakes that I've been making for a long time in my career, stylistically, and we've really been focused on changing those things. The sparring has worked out really well and I'm really excited about it. After the Eddie Walker knockout I came back stronger, after I lost to Simon the second time I had to go to Thailand to fight Karapet on short notice, so I really look at my losses as big chunks of experience.
"I mean, look at the records of some of these other guys in the tournament. Sure, I have a much bigger record than Wayne Barrett, but for the most part I have less than everybody else in the tournament. Any and all experience that I can get I gotta take advantage of, but these losses are big for me, they are learning experiences. I'm humbled by my losses and it forces me to take a good look at me and it's a good thing for my career."
This brought about the topic of pressure and what kind of pressure that Joe feels going into this tournament. If you remember going into GLORY 10 Joe felt that he had to win the tournament to make a statement about Americans in Kickboxing, but now he sees more and more fighters from America stepping up and this is more about himself and his legacy. Joe is looking for not only a win, but a legacy like that of some of Kickboxing's legends with back-to-back tournament wins.
"I've always put so much pressure on myself that I don't really see other people's pressure. I hold myself to a very high standard. In the past I've said stuff like, 'well I'm gonna knock him out in this round' and put even more pressure on myself, but for me there's a ton of pressure on this fight for myself. I want to prove and really cement my legacy in Kickboxing. It means the world to me that I was the first American to win a global combat sports tournament like this and it's really important for me to do it twice in a row. I want to go down in history with like Peter Aerts and Semmy Schilt, that's the pressure that I feel. I don't want to be in the back shaking my head and apologizing like I was after the Barrett fight and I have 100% myself to blame for that. I took him too lightly and I just," Joe paused for a few seconds, searching for the right words. "I screwed up. I didn't fight my fight, that wasn't the best Joe Schilling.
"That won't happen again," he added, in regards to his frustrations in the fight with Barrett. "I was in there and I was frustrated, not even with Wayne, but I was frustrated with myself. Things picked up in the third round but even then it was sloppy, it was careless, it wasn't me. So there is a ton of pressure for me not to do that again in this fight, but I feel like with the changes we've made there's no chance of that happening again. There's a lot less pressure knowing that I'm fighting the best fighters in the world. No one has ever watched a K-1 World Grand Prix and thought, 'well that guy sucks.' Everybody in there belongs in there, seven of us, the best Middleweights in the world, are gonna lose on Saturday. It's gonna be a tough night, I'm not gonna be dancing afterwards. I have the utmost respect for all of the guys in the tournament, but it's gonna be my night. It's in my home city in front of my family and my friends, it's gonna be epic."
It's also interesting to note that Schilling does have the homefield advantage going into this tournament, something that he had for the GLORY 10 Middleweight tournament as well. It was something that he was missing at GLORY 12 when he fought Wayne Barrett in New York, though; "Yeah, you know, I walked out and was getting booed. It's happened twice in my career and both times it's taken me out of my game. Actually, both times it was on the East coast, maybe I need to not fight on the East coast anymore?" He joked. "But for sure, I'm a lot more comfortable when I fight at home. No one wants to lose in front of their friends."
So for Joe Schilling at GLORY Last Man Standing there isn't revenge on his mind, instead it's his legacy and taking his place as one of the greats in Kickboxing by winning consecutive tournaments. It is without a doubt a tall order considering the talent involved, but Schilling seems just as excited to watch the fights at Last Man Standing and GLORY 17 as he is to compete. He's a kickboxing fan first and a fighter second and it's very clear that this Joe Schilling is humbled and mentally prepared for what is before him.
Will it be his night again? Tune in on Saturday night at 10pm Eastern time on PPV for GLORY Last Man Standing, immediately following GLORY 17 on Spike TV at 8pm Eastern time. For more information, head to http://www.gloryppv.com.

What has 5.5-inches of travel, weighs just over three-and-a-half pounds, and keeps your trail bike pointed in the right direction on the roughest trails? The Fox Racing Shox 32 Float 26 150 FIT CTD with Trail Adjust Fork, that's what. It features a sealed FIT damper that keeps the suspension action under control, a tapered steerer tube, and 15QR dropouts. So, staying on your line won't be a problem. In other words, challenging trails have just met their match.
Like recent generations of Fox's Factory series forks, the Float 150 controls its stroke with the venerable FIT damper. As you may have guessed, 'FIT' is an acronym, and it stands for Fox Isolated Technology. And, unlike a traditional open bath system, FIT means that the damper fluid is sealed in an air-tight bladder. This prevents contamination, which improves the consistency of the damper on long descents.
Long-time Fox riders will immediately notice Fox's Climb, Trail, Descend damper adjustments. And there's no need to worry, you're still getting the same adjustments to high- and low-speed compression, only its now packaged in a more user-friendly format. Climb mode provides the most damping for a near locked-out feel. Meanwhile, it still provides a bit of cushion for any unexpected hard hits. Click the damper into the Trail mode, and you'll find that there's ample low-speed compression in order to keep the fork riding high in the travel through berms, jumps, and rocks. Better yet, it still provides plenty of compliance in order to smooth out the ride. Trail mode has three sub-settings that allow you to tune exactly how much feedback that you need from your suspension. And, as you may have guessed, Descend mode provides the lightest compression damping for a plush ride.
Depending on your tastes, many riders simply find the trail setting that works best for them, and don't feel the need to make on-the-fly adjustments. However, the CTD lever is easily accessible for those of you whose ride isn't complete until you've flipped your suspension levers a few dozen times. And best of all, those options are presented in a way that makes each adjustment instinctive. This way, you don't need a degree in fluid dynamics in order to correctly tune your suspension.
The 32 Float 150 comes with Kashima coated stanchions. And, in addition to being 100% 'gold-er' than the competition, Kashima coating is harder than standard stanchion coatings. This equates to a longer wear life, as well as smoother suspension action.
The 32 chassis is something of a classic in the Fox lineup, and it's easy to see why. At just over three pounds, this fork is downright svelte. Better yet, it's strong enough to ride rough trails day- in and day-out. This is thanks in part to the massive tapered steerer tube, which fights flex under hard braking. And speaking of stiffness, Fox uses Shimano's 15mm QR axle assembly, which provides both added stiffness and increased security over a traditional 9mm QR skewer.
The Fox Racing Shox 32 Float 26 150 CTD FIT with Trail Adjust Fork is available with a 26-inch wheel compatibility, a 1.5-inch tapered steerer tube, and 15mm QR compatibility. Additionally, it is available in the color Black.

It's not worth arguing over but I believe you have a few things wrong in your presentation. One thing being - total income increased with Reagan's cuts but he allowed Tip O'Neill to call the shots on spending. & there was the thing about neglected military spending where the D's excel.The Republicans controlled the Senate during the Reagan Presidency and the House presented little opposition in the face of Reagan's popularity. In fact, Congress actually appropriated slightly less money that Reagan requested in his budgets.
"The traditional pattern of running large deficits only in times of war or economic downturns was broken during much of the 1980s. In 1982 [Reagan's first budget year], partly in response to a recession, large tax cuts were enacted. However, these were accompanied by substantial increases in defense spending. Although reductions were made to nondefense spending, they were not sufficient to offset the impact on the deficit. As a result, deficits averaging $206 billion were incurred between 1983 and 1992. These unprecedented peacetime deficits increased debt held by the public from $789 billion in 1981 to $3.0 trillion (48.1% of GDP) in 1992." [emphasis added]
From "Historical Tables, Budget of the U.S. Government, Fiscal Year 2006." Downloaded from www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2006/pdf/hist.pdf. Page 5.
Bush did two basic things to increase the deficit by almost $5 trillion: He implemented massive tax cuts and he launched the war in Iraq while saying it was our patriotic duty to keep living as if there were no war. Both of those actions were taken while congress was under Republican control.
The numbers are pretty clear and speak for themselves in a way that no amount of Teflon can cover:
Republicans and Democrats alike operated in basically a fiscally conservative manner, paying down our national debt from the end of WWII until Reagan finally found his "feet". At that point, new Republican economic theories decided that deficits were OK if they were incurred to support tax cuts or expand defense spending. That "enlightenment" was the cause of deficit growth under both Reagan and Bush II. Bush Senior tried to put the brakes on and was crucified by his own party. Clinton proposed fiscally conservative policies throughout his administration -- a fact that cost him support from the more liberal ends of the party. He was bolstered by a Republican controlled House beginning in 1995. However, the deficit reduction plan which included but tax increases and spending cuts was actually adopted in 1993. However, the division of party control from 1995 was, I believe, a big factor helping to prevent either side from implementing grand schemes -- either in the form of massive tax cuts or massive spending programs -- that would increase the deficit. This was beneficial to the economy and economic growth combined with political deadlock are, I suspect, the reason the national debt was reduced so much.
I believe that both parties have the will to bankrupt our country given total control of the process. As a result, I almost always favor split control and complete ideological frustration of both the right and left.

Open Source
I've started poking around the GNOME frontend for LyX again. I'm unable to even compile it so I'm waiting on some gurus to clean it up for me :). The LyX website overhaul is mostly complete. I'm going to have to go through the php code at some stage and make sure that there's nothing nasty happening i.e
if($user_is_authorised) { // // etc.}
I went on a bugzilla binge and cleaned up a couple (about 30 I think) bugs from gnome-core. The fall into roughly 3 categorys:
- "it doesn't work" or "fff hhh asdfasdf"
- "Netscape 4 crashes all the time"
- Evolution crashes
1,2 get NEEDINFO'd or NOTGNOME'd depending on the specifics. Type 3s get assigned to firstname.lastname@example.com. I hope louie can handle them and that I'm not doing something wrong.
Paid Work
I've renegotiated my contract and for the first time in a while I'm actually an employee again. At present we're looking at HEAPS of work on the gold coast but the client won't commit to times etc. So for at least the time being I'm in NZ and can do some opensource stuff at night.
I'm teaching myself Java and Oracle. They're both cool technologies and should help me increase my 'hireability'. If anyone knows some good books on j2ee + oracle I'd appreciate the references.

The twist in this tale is contained in the titular address. Yup, Skip's parents are the president and the first lady of the United States.

My 4 year old BLF been injured since the 3rd week of November, we've been battling a sprained carpal joint.
I'm currently on my second vet, after an initial evaluation this vet put her on weekly Adequan injections and half dosages of Novox. It appears we're finally progress, her gait is returning to normal, the vet had me swim her last week, after 4 months I finally got to take her out. Swam her approximately 200 yards, she seemed a little sore but rebounded nicely.
Now the vet has me swimming her two days a week. I have also extended her walks (on heal) to a mile.
She still exhibits some soreness and she still at times favors the injured foot. The vet has told be that some of this could be habitual. After this week I believe we're going to switch to monthly adequan injections and stop the novox. This vet also informed me that before he releases her he would like to take some additional xrays.
It just feels that I'm finally making progress to having a healthy sound dog.

Humanitarian Issues: Charting the future of humanitarian aid research
More than sixty leading experts called for a global ramp-up of research efforts to tackle the rising challenges facing humanitarian workers, at an inaugural Policy and Research Conference in New York.
Participants warned that climate change, rising populations, environmental degradation, water shortages, and spiraling food prices were putting growing pressure on humanitarian relief operations – and required a concerted effort by research networks to come up with more innovative solutions.
The December 12-13 conference, entitled "Risk, Adaptation and Innovation in Humanitarian Action", was organised by OCHA, and featured experts from academic institutions, governments, inter-governmental bodies, think tanks, NGOs and UN practitioners.
Major research priorities included finding better ways to gather timely and relevant information, and analysis for strategic decision making, and a deeper look at how the humanitarian system integrates risk-reduction and resilience building into its work.
Participants also warned that the humanitarian system remains too risk averse - lacking a culture that stimulates innovation. Humanitarians tended to ignore failure rather admit it and learn from it, they said.
The experts called for OCHA and the humanitarian system to build deeper and more strategic relationships with emerging actors from the Global South, such as national NGOs, and to find ways to listen to their needs and concerns more attentively.
OCHA committed to bring in new partners and deepen its collaboration with the research community over the course of 2012.

Japan: An earthquake, a tsunami – and a handwritten newspaper
When one of the most technologically sophisticated countries in the world is hit by a triple emergency, should we count on web platforms and social media to deliver lifesaving information? Not necessarily, according to a new report by Internews into the communications aspects of the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan.
Japan is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the planet.
But on March 12th 2011, nobody in the Ishinomaki area was tweeting, blogging, emailing or posting anything on facebook. They weren't even watching TV. Hit by a 9.0 earthquake followed by a massive tsunami, the power in Ishinomaki was out.
So instead of their usual high-tech operation, local newspaper reporters went back a few decades in time and produced a handwritten newspaper.
"People were so hungry for information," says editor Hiroyuki Takeuchi. "If there is no information after a disaster, people become even more stressed and anxious."
To meet the desperate need for information, Takeuchi's reporters went out on foot to talk to survivors and those providing aid, then came back and handwrote their reports, including the latest on where and how to get help, on giant pieces of paper, which were then taped to the walls of evacuation centres.
The story of Takeuchi and his paper, HibiShimbun, is told in a new report from media NGO Internews, which analyses the role of communications in the March 11th disaster. The study, which was supported by the OCHA Japan team, starts with the frantic first hours and describes the challenges of providing vital information in one of the most complex emergencies of recent times.
It is a story of how phones, web platforms and social media are coming of age as an essential service for the survivors of emergencies. The most widely used family reunification service, for example, was not provided by the government, Red Cross or an NGO but by Google: three months after the disaster, over 610,000 personal records of survivors and those missing had been uploaded. On social media, twitter in particular saw usage skyrocket as survivors turned to their platform for realtime information. Immediately after the quake, 11,000 tweets per minute were sent (the normal average for Japan is 3,000) and both the Prime Minister's office and the owner of the Fukishima Nuclear Power Plant established twitter feeds for the first time within days of the disaster. The report finds that social media and web-based platforms were used for everything from publicising government advice to crowdsourcing and mapping radiation levels, but that most of the people affected used social media to connect with family and friends.
The study also shows why, even in such a highly connected country, technology is only part of the answer. When networks fail, power systems collapse and any surviving networks are overloaded, so people turn to older models that are tried and trusted. Internews found that again and again, interviewees talked about the importance of radio, especially local community radio. This wasn't just a matter of system failure: one of the most significant demographic groups affected, the elderly, were unfamiliar with online information networks and social media.
Another key part of the story, as the HibiShimbun story illustrates, is that people in Japan wanted information that was of direct use to them rather than generalised advice. They wanted details of services, support and hazards in the areas where they were living or sheltering. The people who were best placed to meet those needs – local responders, NGOs and volunteers – stepped up. In the city of Tome, the mayor spoke every day on community radio station H@! FM (founded specificially in anticipation of a major earthquake) providing updates on the availability of food and water. Local people visited the station to provide information: a doctor came in tell people where medical supplies were available, and shop owners provided updates when they were able to restock. Two years on, H@! FM still broadcasts updates on reconstruction.
The central, common thread connecting the communications initiatives captured in this report is trust. In Tome, there was no need to worry about verification of content as all the speakers on H@! FM were local and known. This echoes a key lesson for policy makers in future emergencies: in emergencies, people reach for what they know, they understand and they trust. For the young, their personal and social networks increasingly function through social media and phones, making these platforms increasingly important. The fact that hundreds of thousands of people turned immediately to Google People Finder to search for family and friends suggests such tools, developed by the private sector, are on their way to becoming standard platforms for basic humanitarian tasks like reuniting families.
Another lesson of the report is the speed with which disasters drive innovation. The Office of the Prime Minister was placed under enormous public pressure to start a twitter feed, while TV stations began livestreaming their material after a teenage student began using his iphone camera to livestream TV channel NHK (which was technically illegal).
It is therefore not surprising, that the recommendations for responders include investing in understanding local information ecologies, building provision for information and communications work into response planning and learning how to work with the tech sector – both private companies and the tech volunteer community.
One of the most interesting aspects of this report is the extent to which patterns around information and communications mirror those in less developed countries. In the first hours after a disaster, people everywhere want to reconnect with their families. Japan might be one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, but just like in Haiti, some of the most important information initiatives came down to community radio stations, handwritten newspaper headlines.
The report concludes with details of how the Japanese government is already acting on some of the lessons: maintaining twitter feeds, improving tsunami prediction capacity and working with mobile phone companies to ensure blanket access to SMS alerts. It is surely time for the humanitarian system to do the same.

I have no favorite, Ken. Most did something bad that I believe negatively affected the country. Like we say when reading point slips at an HRC ribbon award, "in no particular order"...
JFK; Vietnam. Bay of Pigs, U-2,
LBJ; The gulf of Tonkin. Vietnam in general.
Nixon; Dishonered the office, ie, Watergate. Opened China
Ford; Pardoned Nixon.
Carter; Peanuts and Billy beer... Established relations with China.
Reagan; Trickle down Reaganomics, which still haunts us. Iran-Contra.
Bush 1; "read my lips".
Clinton; That cigar thing
"W" Two failed wars.
Obama; OMG he's black!
So, I guess I'm only left to "Like Ike" in the Presidents in my lifetime, and that seems to so many here the time we would like to go back to. But it's not likely to be.

hi!! thanks for telling everything and showing
last sunday I was going to church with my mom and daughter; we saw a friend coming toward us, and my mom tried to explain with gestures that we were running late; between us and our friend there was a man washing his car, and he answered my mom, confused "yes, dear, go; i understand"
we have no idea who he is.. but he thought we were waving him.. we couldn't stop laughing until we got to church

The funniest thing this weekend? Well, let's see . . . my husband flubbed up and said a whoopsy in front of his parents. Strictly one of those things when you try to say two different words at the same time and out comes a third option that may not be appropriate for mixed company! Needless to say, his parents acted like they didn't hear and we both giggled like little kids after he got off the phone. :)

Yesterday my hubby had me laughing so much at various times throughout the day, he must have gotten new material because all his OLD jokes are just well, old.
We watched the pilot for The Wonder Years (yeah the old tv show) last night and I was laughing so much. In one scene Kevin had to describe what a jock strap is to the Physical Education class. LOL!
LOVED your market coverage!

Funniest moment, hmm... when my husband came in my sewing room and said "Look what your cat caught for me!" He was holding up a jar...with a 2" long praying mantis inside! She loves bugs, but didn't get to eat that one - it got to join my hubby's bug collection! :)

Funniest thing that happened to me this weekend was showing up for an appointment at the vet's a day late. How embarrassing.

Funniest moment for us was when I asked my 3 year old grandson what he was going to say when he knocked on people's doors for Halloween. He said "Trick or treat!" And then from across the room we hear his 15 month old baby brother who only says "Da da" say "Trick or treat" or something extremely close. The 3 year old and I just burst out laughing!

Watching my daughter and her friend singing the trick or treat song to an older woman that asked them to sing it for her and then the look on her stunned face. She did ask them to ding it....

I think the funniest thing this weekend was watching my youngests face when he realised his seeds have sprouted in his part of the garden!

We went to the zoo and the American Alligator got mad at my son and I. He was grumbling and growling and my son was laughing like mad, which made me laugh too.
Thanks for sharing the quilt market photos, they are great.

My funniest moments were spent on the phone with my youngest son. He has a unique way of looking at life that never fails to crack me up. He has so many talents and among them is making his mom laugh.

The funniest moment this weekend was when the 10 month daughter of a good friend giggled and giggled... She had just realised that the small ball she had could bounce, and it made her so happy, surprised and excited. And me too, i couldn't stop laughing!
- November 1, 2011 at 1:13 AM
My brothers 1-year old son visited us last weekend and made some funny faces and moves. He is such a cute little man.

Probably my 9 yr old bragging about the massive diarrhea he had this week to friends. It's funny that there is an age where that's cool.

When I got home and realised that my bike still stands next to the shop. Just forgot that I had it with me!

I would say seeing the owner of Moda dressed up as Police Officer would have been a very funny moment.
I love it, when big bosses join the fun and stay 'normal'.
- November 1, 2011 at 3:21 AM
I was watching a dance show in tv this weekend with my granddaughter- soon to be five- and said to her " mayby I should go to some dancing lessons so I could dance like these people". My granddaughter stared at me for a moment before she said "Granny, I think it would be better if just kept on sewing !"
Greetings, Dora Dis

Best moment was when a customer came into the store, I was NOT quite sure if she was dressed for Halloween or NOT, so I had to contain my laughter until after she made her purchases and left!

I went shopping with a quilting friend this weekend and we had a blast and laughed the whole time.

Lovely shares! I cracked up listening to the antics with my sister struggling to potty train her 3 1/2 yr old boy! If they let him sit in his #2 diaper" he doesn't care and then he will ask his mom to change it saying "mom you're so pretty I love you " and she will refuse. Then go to his dad and say "you're my best friend dad I love you will you change my diaper?, it is just ridiculous this boy! I told her she will have some great embarrassing stories to tell on him with future girlfriends!

Greetings from Northern Saskatchewan CANADA! Thanks for all the wonderful pictures - felt like I was there! I'm like PB from Texas who said she was watcing a movie while she sews! I watched DAVE - one of my favs of all time - one minute laughing and the next crying. I'm finishing up quilts that I have been putting off for ages. Once I get to the borders I get itch to start something new! Makes for a stack of unfinished projects! But I'm working on it!

I got together with several friends and sewed this weekend. There were too many funny moments and comments made to pick just one. That's when you know it was a good weekend!=) I loves seeing your twitter updates throughout the weekend with all the great pics. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Nothing exciting this weekend and didn't get to go to Market. But, looks like you had a good time at the Moda party, dressing up for YMCA is pretty cute.

My funniest moment of the weekend was watching all the kids at a 6 year old's birthday party. They were dressed for Halloween. It was so cute! I am headed off to the Quilt Show this next weekend - I can't wait!

Certainly enjoyed following you on your blog this weekend - the kazoo thing looks like it was a real hoot! Our quilt guild friendship group is headed to Houston on Thursday for the quilt show, so I'm anticipating a wild and crazy time!

My funniest moment this weekend was when my son convinced me that the DO Not Enter sign over the restaurant door pertained to customers. We all got a good laugh as i walked away because the sign was really for drive thru! A "duh" moment on mom lol!

My funniest weekend event was trick or treating with our kids. My dh saw a tween wearing a gorilla suit and immediately decided that HE NEEEEDS a gorilla suit too.
He is 31 going on 12. :)

My funniest moment was when a three-year-old trick-or-treater in a cute little zoot suit gangster costume
came to my door. After I gave him a hand full of candy, his mom said, "What do you say?" He looked at her and shrugged and said, "Happy Halloween?"

The most fun thing I saw was a flock of bluebirds trying to take a bath in our birdbath. They were so cute, flapping their wings and splashing the water. It was funny how they seemed to take turns, patiently waiting for each one while sitting on the side of the birdbath.

- VickiT said...
Wow. SOOOOOOO many things I can see screaming at me to find money fast to buy. How can you stand seeing all that gorgeous fabric in one place like that without visibly drooling? LOL
I'd say your funniest moment just from this post alone would be watching Kimberly trying to play the kazoo. I'm sure everyone was cracking up which made it even harder for her to do it.

Funniest moment this weekend? Not sure I had one but enjoyed watching and laughing with/at Flint at PBR finals.

Every day is funny when you have a 2 and 3 year old boy. I have to laugh or I will scream. Yesterday the 3 year old stripped off all his clothes. I was chasing him down the street (cold Idaho weather keep in mind) All the while he was yelling "Hey Howdy Hey!"

Nothing too funny. My DH wore a scary Mask of a very old Man with lots of white hair and beard. Some kid thought he was Santa Claus.....others would just stare and walk far away.

I had to read through the other posts before I could post. The gecko in the mail box really cracked me up as did the 3 year-old streaker. Two of my grandbabies were with us for the better part of the weekend and they do bring some hilarity into our lives. I got tickled when while watching a video and some theme music began playing, the 3 year-old girl started dancing by moving her hips back and forth and then the 13 month-old boy started his form of dancing by swinging his outstretched arms back and forth, both in perfect rhythm. Gotta love little kids!
From the pictures, it looks like your funniest moment was the kazoo player wannabes. I'm sure the side-splitting, uncontrollable laughter of the whole room contributed to their inability to perform.

My baby (50ish) sister is a home health care nurse so cannot wear nail polish and is very strait-laced. She visited me Saturday for my b'day. Imagine my surprise when she took her shoes off to watch football on tv and was sporting toenails painted a wild garnet and gold. She told me very seriously that she had to - because it would help her alma mater win their game via esp. Just as seriously my mother said, they are playing on ESPN. We all had to laugh.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I can't think of anything very funny, but it looks like everyone had a wonderful and fun time at Market.

Funniest moment was watching my mini dachashund greeting my parents whom she hadn't seen for many months. Her back end was faster than he front and it made for a good laugh for all of us.

- Allison C said...
I wasn't there, but the YMCA looked like it was hilarious!
- November 1, 2011 at 8:31 PM
gotta love YMCA where ever it's done! Funniest moment here was watching to dismay on my husband's face at the small accumulation of snow on Saturday morning - snow? in Northern Virginia? in October? He's soooo not ready for cold weather :( poor thing! Thanks for a chance to win - Laurie

Discovering my two year old with her big sister's mascara all over her face on Halloween was our funniest moment. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
- November 2, 2011 at 10:36 PM
funniest thing.....discovering my granddaughter(aged 2 and ahalf) in the bathroom, silently and earnestly putting "eyeshadow" on with my old lipstick and a cotton bud stick!!!Some of it even got onto her eyebrows...and the walls, and bench and the mirror...!!Kinda cute...

My funniest moment was when my girls were at a neighborhood trunk-or-treat. My 2 yr-old was crying and my 8-yr-old just smiled for her "close-up"! I got a cute pic of the girls, one with a pretty smile and one wailing for Mama!

It was my nephew's yfirst birthday this past weekend. Since it's the 29th and so close to Halloween it was a costume party. The birthday boy was Mickey Mouse, his Mom was Minnie and Dad was Goofy. They were soo cute. They were in front of the birthday cake and everyone was taking pictures, all was fine. The minute everyone started to sing Happy Birthday, the birthday boy scruntched up his face and started to cry! It was cute and sad at the same time. Not sure if we scared him or what. We all had a laugh though. Thanks for the giveaway.

I spent the weekend with my grandchildren as it was my grandson's 2nd birthday. Every time we asked him how old he was he would emphatically say "4", knowing full well he was only "2". It never got old seeing him debate this issue back and forth with my husband. Fortunately, I got it on video so we will always have this laugh to remember.

I was bringing my aunt home after running some errands and she went to unlock the door and realized she had forgotten to bring her keys! She looked around and said she was going to climb the fence and see if the backdoor or window had been left open. Funny thing is my aunt is 68 years young! I started laughing and said there is no way I'm letting you climb the fence!! I wouldn't even attempt it so called my hubby and he was able to pry a window open, climb in and unlock the door.
Thanks for the giveaway of an awesome book and a chance to win.

Nominations due April 17 for Spirit of Princeton Awards
Posted March 25, 2002; 09:54 a.m.
The Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students is accepting nominations for the seventh annual Spirit of Princeton Awards through Wednesday, April 17. Nomination forms are available online .
Since 1995, the Spirit of Princeton Awards have recognized a select number of undergraduate students for their positive contributions to campus life during their years at Princeton. Past award winners have demonstrated a strong commitment to enhancing the undergraduate experience through contributions in areas such as: student organizations, athletics, community service, religious life, residentially based initiatives and the arts.
These awards particularly seek to recognize those students whose service has gone unrecognized by the greater University community. Recipients are honored at a dinner each spring and are presented with a certificate and a book prize.
This event is sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students . Forms should be submitted to Dean Thomas Dunne .

Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl with a hand-held electric mixer), beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and beater with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the egg, zest, and vanilla and continue to mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until well blended, about 1 minute more.
Divide the dough into thirds and form each piece into a 5-inch square. Wrap in plastic and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
Using a rolling pin, roll a dough square between two 12x16-inch pieces of parchment to about 1/8 inch thick and about 11 inches square. Slide the dough and parchment onto a cookie sheet and chill in the refrigerator while you roll out the remaining dough in the same manner. Stack the sheets of dough, sandwiched in parchment, on top of each other and refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. (At this point, you can refrigerate the dough, wrapped well in plastic, for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting out shapes.)
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 or more cookie sheets (preferably flat sheets with one raised edge) with parchment or nonstick baking liners.
Working with one sheet of dough at a time, remove the top piece of parchment. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter. Using an offset spatula, arrange them about 1 inch apart on the prepared sheets. Freeze until very firm, about 20 minutes. Press the dough scraps together, reroll, chill, and cut more shapes; freeze. Repeat until all of the dough is used.
Bake two sheets at a time, rotating and switching their positions halfway through, until the edges and bottoms of the cookies are golden, about 11 minutes. Let the cookies cool on their sheets on wire racks for about 5 minutes and then transfer to the racks to cool completely.
Put the powdered egg whites and 6 Tbs. warm water in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand-held electric mixer). Let stand for 2 minutes, then whisk on low speed until combined. Let stand 2 more minutes so the powder can absorb the water, and then mix on low speed until completely dissolved, about 1 minute more. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until blended, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture is thick and shiny, 3 to 5 minutes. The icing should be able to hold a ribbon, but if it doesn't, add more sugar, a little bit at a time.
Add the lemon zest and stir until combined. To make several colors, divide the icing into small batches in separate containers. Use a toothpick or cake tester to add a small amount of food coloring to the icing, stirring until no streaks remain, and adding more color as needed.
If not using the icing immediately, put a damp paper towel directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming; you can let the icing sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours. If not using within 2 hours, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Let the icing come back to room temperature before using. If the icing stiffens, add a few drops of water and beat briefly on low speed to loosen.
To outline a cookie: Spoon some of the icing into a pastry bag fitted with a very small plain tip. Practice first on a piece of cardboard or waxed paper; if the icing is too thick to pipe evenly, put it back in the bowl and stir in water, a drop or 2 at a time, until it pipes easily but still retains its shape. Outline the cookie with the icing. At this point, set the outlined cookies aside to dry until tacky, about an hour (depending on the humidity of your kitchen), or decorate the outline further while it's still wet with sanding sugar.
To coat an entire cookie with icing (flooding): Thin some of the icing by stirring in cold water, 1 tsp. at a time, until just pourable; you don't want flooding icing to hold its shape but rather fill in and 'flood' an area on the cookie, so the consistency should be similar to that of melted chocolate. Spoon the flooding icing into a pastry bag fitted with a medium plain tip. Pipe a tight zigzag of flooding icing inside the border of an outlined cookie and then use a toothpick to spread the icing in an even layer out to the edges.
Decorate the cookie further with sanding sugar, and then set the cookie aside to dry completely, 2-1/2 to 4 hours.
Serve or store decorated cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Director of Radiology, Basking Ridge
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am a radiologist who specializes in breast imaging, percutaneous breast biopsy, and body oncologic imaging. My expertise includes the interpretation of mammography, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI.
I am also expert in the use of minimally invasive breast biopsies using imaging guidance — a procedure which provides an alternative to surgical biopsy for the initial diagnosis of breast cancer and can help avoid the need for surgical approaches to benign lesions. My other interest and expertise is in the interpretation of body CT and ultrasound for oncologic imaging.
I have served as the Director of Radiology at Memorial Sloan Kettering's regional care facility in Basking Ridge since its opening. I am proud to work alongside my many distinguished radiology and clinical colleagues at Basking Ridge, and am delighted to participate in extending Memorial Sloan Kettering's expert and compassionate care to women in New Jersey.
