John Terpstra of SAMBA fame is coming to speak at my department (the Linux geeks :) today. Ueberspiffy.
*microphone feedback*
If I vanish before October 2001, it's because planning a wedding in the Washington DC area either a) killed me or b) drove me insane.
Thank you for your attention. *click*
Fear my grabs for power. Mowhahaha.

Don't see any GNOME stuff there... except in the OPTIONAL gnome components package...do you?
Forking stuff like this is such a waste of time and effort... why not try to deal with it maturely by corresponding with the maintainer?
Attended LWE the past week. I spent more time at the Debian booth than any other place at the conference, even though I wasn't techinically working it...I just had more fun there. Went schwag hunting for my coworkers. Attended a few conference sessions, but many were too suit-oriented...I guess what do you expect at a conference geared for businesses. People loved the G3 powerbook I brought to the show...a shame that we didn't have any debian ppc cds to hand out. Surfing on the airport/wavelan was kickass until thursday, when the andover people apparently cut almost everyone off it (but that was ok, because debian had a wavelan base station in the booth :) Food was expensive, no real restaurants around the hotel and room service was so-so. Ate at a place called original joe's on wednesday for lunch, expensive for rather mediocre food (I ordered steak medium, it got to me well done :/ ...). Went to the Debian release party at the Usual wednesday night...free beer, woohoo. Linus showed up as I was near the door...felt sorry for him being asked for autographs ... let the man enjoy his beer and the party. Didn't get too trashed...I stopped after four or five beers. Shaleh, calc, and neuro partook in "Irish carbombs". After a bit neuro, calc, and I headed over to the gnome party across the street which was so-so...then went over to the pool hall and shot some pool. Linus was playing pool with some people, I thought that was neat. Took the light rail back to the hotel around 11:30ish.
It was fun hanging out with the debian crew (shaleh, joey, drow, calc, lilo, myth, o-o, wichert, jim, tausq, dave), meeting the enlightenment/#e crowd (raster, mandrake, keebler, teletron, term, hakker, gnea, demonishi, kainx, fusion94, nettwerk), the stormix people, peter teichman from helixcode, and many others that I may have forgotten to mention. Did a bunch of GPG keysigning last night.
I am moving departments in my company, from systems architecture to operations, due to reorganizations after my boss passed away. My new boss appears to be clueful to linux and open to ideas, so that is good. I hope things go well. I will be moving to another floor towards the end of september, leaving the other linux geeks :( But I will come back up to pester them now and then, since I am basically going to be implementing what projects they come up with...
Going on a cruise this coming week. Yes, right in the middle of hurricane season...I hope to have a good time. I have done/will have done more flying in the past two weeks than I have in my entire life. Strange. Coache decidedly sucks. In the future, I'll probably shell out the extra bucks for coach if possible.
School starts the monday after I get back from the cruise. Lovely. Retaking the two math classes I failed in the spring, along with a CS course and a digital electronics course...should be interesting. At least there won't be anymore 3 hour trips to go visit my fiancee every week.
My brother and sister go to college a week from today. That will leave only my parents, my youngest brother, and I. It will be strange having the house so quiet.
No one probably cares about this, just typing thoughts as they come to my mind...but oh well, no one's forcing you to read this :) I think one day in the near future I will move my advogato diary entries to my personal page and use advogato only for discussion of free software stuff, as it was intended...
If it was someone else, the strange coincidences there are in the world.
My travel expenses for Linuxworld got approved. First place I will be going that is not on the East Coast. First Linux conference I'll be at. Promises to be interesting. Now to just rush and make reservations ...
Summer is flying by. Already at midterm of the second summer session of classes. Things are starting to get back to normal at work. I am trying to go to LinuxWorld Expo in San Jose this year. It finally does not conflict with school. I submitted the necessary authorization forms yesterday ... it's cool when work pays for this kind of stuff :) If I go, it will be my first trip off the east coast (been from Maine down to Florida, but no further west than Ohio). Excited but nervous about it at the same time.
Been trying to get Debian PPC installed on our G4s. Tried yesterday, and it installed alright, but was unable to get yaboot working properly - with scsi drives you have to do a bunch of mumbo jumbo to get the OpenFirmware path of the adapter which looks something like '/pci@f2000000/pci-bridge@d/ATTO,ExpressPCIUL2D@4/@0:1' - blech. I'll try again today with it. Sometimes I wish I had taken a powerbook instead - not as beefy as a box but airport is so freakin cool.
If anyone wants a copy of Terminus, I have an extra copy. I was one of the first 100 people to pre-order, so I got the game right after it was finished. However, they shipped it in a flimsy USPS envelope, which crushed the box on the edges. This happened to a lot of people, so they reshipped everyone with a damaged box a new copy. So now I have two copies. I don't really need the second one, and I'd be willing to sell it to someone (preferably in the US, so I don't have to deal with int'l shipping) if they want. Note that it does require XF4.0 and DRI - I tried it with XF3.3.6 and Utah-GLX (I have a G400) and it crashed X. It also runs under Windows and MacOS. The game itself looks pretty sweet, although I have not had time to really play it yet. If you're interested in the game, firstname.lastname@example.com.

As part of the Annual Adjustment process, counties are responsible for submitting a ratio study and uniformity for all classes of property in all townships. The ratio study measures the accuracy and equity of assessments. It is determined by the formula: Assessed Value/Sale Price = Ratio. The assessment ratio for all properties in Indiana is to be 100%.
The accuracy of assessments refers to how close the assessments determined by local assessing officials are to market value-in-use.
See County Specific Information for your county's Ratio Study.
The equity of assessments refers to how uniform assessments are within a class of property or geographic area. It is measured by the Coefficient of Dispersion, or the relative dispersion or variability of assessments from the median. For improved residential property, it should be 0=<15%. For all other classes of property, it should be 0=<20%.
The ratio studies are submitted by the county to the DLGF, which reviews and approves the submitted ratio studies.
Ratio Study Approval Process Arrow Chart
The annual adjustments are calculated by comparing the prior year assessment with current sales data from a neighborhood. The difference, positive or negative, will be used to create a factor that assessing officials will apply to the property's assessed value to bring it to current market value.
Under the old system, real estate was generally only reassessed every 10 years, which left taxpayers with a large change in their assessments every decade. Annual adjustments curb that large lump sum change in assessments by annually adjusting values based on sales.

Prefer your sweets with a little zing? Ginger done three ways adds something special to these bars, which get a quick start with Betty Crocker SuperMoist white cake mix.
Regular granulated sugar's a fine stand-in for decorating sugar.
When shopping for gingerroot, look for a piece with smooth, unblemished skin and no signs of mold. Keep it tightly wrapped in the refrigerator up to 1 week, or freeze it up to 2 months.
Crystallized, or candied, ginger is gingerroot that's been cooked in sugar syrup and coated in coarse sugar. It feels dry to the touch but is sticky when chopped. In the supermarket, you might find it in the bulk-food bins, in plastic bags in the specialty produce section or in glass jars in the spice aisle.

About first one.
Yes, C is cool. In the kernel development it is even cooler. Or is it?
If source writing was done with line-based parsing in mind (sed), then crap like [0] wouldn't been existed.
[0] http://lxr.linux.no/linux/scripts/unifdef.c
Also i want to ask, what is more cool, that CPP/GCC triks or [1] C/C++ comments remover?
[1] ftp://flower.upol.cz/dts/Sed0000/hacks/strip-c.sh
So far i didn't find mis-parsing problems. But C and especially C \/ C++ comment soup can have many stupidly hard things to do, that i was fail to envision. This script, BTW, runs faster than most comprehensive one on sed.sf.net: remccoms3
== This leads to question why text parsing is so doomed? ==
Why i type those html tags _here_, why syntax parsers of compiler cannot be used and are not used to high quality and usability syntax highlighting, etc., etc.?
A bit about some issues i wrote here http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/632. Yet modern academia students, that are doing hard-core(?) kernel programming, like to fix kernel, rather than stupid, useless zoo of syntax highlighters [2].
[2] http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/1/24/603419
As skills go, it's far more useful than "how to trim the trailing whitespace" and the rest of checkpatch.pl-inspired crap that got so popular lately... http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Decoding_Oops
Yea, Al, whitespace and syntax LKML-guys appeared quite recently. They doing stupid, but yet useful work, work from the wrong end.
I myself, as an amateur newbie, was deeply impressed by appearance of the stuff like[3,4],
[3] http://lxr.linux.no/linux/scripts/cleanfile
3492 bytes
[4] http://lxr.linux.no/linux/scripts/cleanpatch 5132 bytes
I've came up with this one:
ftp://flower.upol.cz/clean-whitespace/clean-whitespace.sh 1024 bytes
Which isn't quite same funcionality, but this meant to be same result[5].
[5] http://email@example.com (use subject link to navigate in thread)
Yes, whitespaces were my PITA right from the first patch. Crappy Linux Makefile(s) + GNU Emacs with smart whitespace damage cleanup ==> big diff just after opening the file. I didn't understand, why there is such damage, because before any programming work i've studied The Tool - A Text Editor. It turned out not only technical problem (text editing), but maintaining one: whitespaces in diffs's context are important. Thus, cleanup in one file may break quite many patches elsewhere in people's trees.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Tupelo High School's individualized and personalized tutoring of seniors who have not passed one or more of the required state subject-area exams for graduation demonstrates the determination of the system to help students succeed. It's a visible repudiation of a too-often-stated claim that Tupelo and other public school system no longer care about students or what happens when they fall behind.
This year, 61 of the 428 seniors at Tupelo High lack a passing grade in at least one of the required for graduation tests: algebra, English II, English II writing, U.S. history, biology and mathematics. A core group of retired former THS teachers, current assistant principals and Principal Jason Harris are directly involved in tutoring sessions offered throughout the school day individually and in small groups.
Students lacking the necessary required passing scores can attend tutoring sessions at various times during the school day, and those who are behind and still enrolled are required to make the effort.
Last school year, at the same point in the school year, 112 seniors were in the need-to-pass situation, and all but 14 of them graduated.
The linchpin is willingness from two directions – on the part of students who hang in rather than dropping out, and by the school, which places the resources and personnel on the problem with confidentiality – and daily persistence.
Tutoring students who need help at one time may have carried a stigma, but that negative perception is fast disappearing because the advantages of good tutoring sustain the best history and traditions of the practice.
The blog "Great Schools" editor Jessica Kelmon reported in January, from an article in The New York Times, that "a new hallmark of Gen Z (aka "Gen Me") that I think is going to stick: tutors as a mainstay of a normal education. When I was in school, I had a tutor to help me learn French – but only because it wasn't offered at my school and we were moving to Montreal. Otherwise, tutoring wasn't a common affair. When a kid was failing – or at least falling behind – that's when tutors were called to the rescue."
Further, the blog suggests that success with a tutor will encourage students to continue using them past immediate situations, which could increase the likelihood of academic success.
Tutoring is not a magic bullet, but trying it is preferable to giving up in abject failure.


text: As much as I wish I had my camera with me, I didn't, so I did not get the chance to take any pictures of all the turkeys I saw after the rains we had late last week. Most of the birds were in freshly mowed fields that the hay had been removed from a few days before. The rain was heavy and the turkeys headed out from the canopy of the woods almost as soon as the big drops stopped falling. I saw three flocks in 3 different fields and one pair of gobblers together in a small field. Some of the poults were getting some size to them, but you could tell they were this year's hatch. It was great to see so many turkeys and speaks well for the future. None of them were in a place I had rights to hunt, but I enjoyed seeing them anyway.

The all-steel hardware consists of a formed base welded to a hollow shaft that is embedded in the post or rail end. Installation is simple and fast: just cut a pilot channel with a hole saw, drive the shaft in (it's bevelled for easy insertion) and screw the base down. Only the base shows, leaving a tidy, finished appearance.
The connection is tremendously strong, since the shaft stiffens the join and is supported by wood inside and out. The base leaves space for air circulation and blocks water from wicking into end grain, preventing rot. Finished in an all-weather epoxy coat suitable for ACQ-treated lumber.
Post anchors are for nominal 4x4 and 6x6 stock; the 4x4 anchor requires a 1-1/4" hole saw, and the 6x6 anchor requires a 1-3/4" hole saw. To mount either anchor, a hardware kit of eight black-finished 1/4" x 3" outdoor lag screws and four 3/8" x 5" galvanized lag screws is available separately (one kit needed per post) or you can supply your own.
Optional post skirts, sized to match the 4x4 or 6x6 anchors, cover exposed screw heads. The paired rail connectors for nominal 2x4 stock are available in 90° or 22.5° versions, each with mounting screws (3/4" hole saw needed).
An attractive and durable system.

Any of y'all heard of or use this call?
While cleaning my office recently, I came across the July/August 2012 copy of NWTF's Turkey Country which had been buried in clutter on my desk. In thumbing through it, I came across an article concerning this call about Jim Clay, owner of Perfection Calls. I've used Perfection's Blue True Double diaphragm for years, it's one of my favorites. Clay had never heard of the call either until an old timer brought it to his attention at the NWTF National convention a few years back. The first time Clay used it, he broke loose a gobbler that had been hung up for quite a while.
It's not often that us old timers hear about a new turkey vocalization, let alone the owner of a call company. I suspect it's been around as long as turkey hunting...or at least as long as diaphragm calls, as it's pretty tough to duplicate on friction calls. And it's probably got a few other regional names as well. Clay calls it a "closing call" but a lot of vets would classify it a "confidence call", something to add to purring and leaf scratching to close the deal. Check it out-

The Renaissance—a term meaning rebirth or revival—was an era of transformation in the art and culture of Italy between 1400 and 1600. There was a renewed appreciation of Classical Antiquity, especially ancient Greco-Roman art and architecture, literature and science. The study of ancient texts was the basis for the development of the humanities: history, poetry and philosophy. The Renaissance was also a period of inquiry into the natural world, of experiment and exploration in the arts and sciences. New technologies such as the printing press, gunpowder, watches and lenses, as well as the exploration of the New World, helped to transform Renaissance society and led to the birth of modern Europe.
While the Catholic Church had always been the great patron of the arts in Western Europe, during the Renaissance there was a tremendous expansion of private patronage by merchants and noble families, such as the Medici in Florence and the Sforza in Milan. Great centres arose, notably the courts of Mantua and Ferrara, the republics of Florence and Venice, and the Papal States including Rome and Perugia. This ever changing patchwork of city-states and regions became the unified nation of Italy only 150 years ago.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi Guys,
I thought I might talk some of you at least Mike Z into joining me one night out. I hear you about doing all nighter tend to wipe you out for the next day.
Idecided looking at the forcast it would be about 10 degrees warmer tonight and the wind would be perfect for where I want to fish so I am going tonight.
Jay - I have hooked alot of fish on some moonlit nights and nothing much on others. As far as how I do it, I basically go to where I think bait will likely be and look for activity fish alittle in the likely spots. The best nights are when there is plenty of activity, when all is quite and no bait around I usually move on. I like to set up a lantern if nothing is happening and I want to try a spot. I can usually attract a large bunch of bait fish and have had schools move in and start a blitz
I don't have anything special tied up yet for night. I use mostly the same flies as during the day, like dark and light half/ half clousers (white/brown, white/olive, white/black)I seem to use alot of the time.. I think the most important thing is getting the fly in front of them at the depth they are feeding, then worry about what fly to try next if there are no takers.
Tight Lines,
Wish I could. I hope to make it down the Rhody this weekend depending on family plans, don't know if I can pull off an overnight.
Best of luck and,
Beware the fluke blitz.
I've done well on moonlit nights around Stage Inlet where I could see the dark profiles of fish against the sand. Best fly patterns were (a) black velvet eel fished on the sand tied with strands of flash coming out from behind the eyes (b) black slim jim style flies fished on top mostly schoolies, silver stripe and eyes mattered and (c) black bigeye baitfish tied with reflective cheeks, big eyes and olive pearl flashabou. All Page Rogers patterns when I was in my "Page Rogers rules" phase. All were very effective on moonlit nights on Nantucket Sound shorelines in spring and fall especially at slack high from Stage to Herring River to Bass River and sometimes Parker River. Since our cottage is a short drive from these spots I would tend to hit these most. There were some non-descript spots where at high tide the fish would sit and rest and letting a black velvet eel sink into these holes would result in sure takes. One used to be just to the west of the mouth of the Herring River off the west jetty, it's filled in since. Along the shoreline if you know where the larger striations in the sand lead to shore and come together into a basin the fish will run these on the incoming on any night, moonlit or otherwise. I scout these during the day and fished them at night.
There was a night on Herring River that a large group of squeteague set up in the dropping tide currrent eating small bait, they would not take anything I put in their face but before I left I hit them with the big magnum flashlight and saw that they were weaks. It was a very moonlit night.
Another night at Bass River the cops shut the gate after a megaphone annoucement so I slept in the truck and the bass were keeping me awake busting in the flat just to the south of Stage Island's east channel. I was sated from a night of fantastic fishing so pulled the sleeping bag over my head and tried to ignore them while I slept. Bass River on the outgoing at the end of either jetty with large bigeye baitfish patterns has produced for me as well during latter half of September and October.
Since becoming completely addicted to sight fishing I haven't fished at night for years, but I would assume much of these observations haven't changed.
I am on a quest to land a very large bass on the new beach rods to test their limits and if I must I will go nocturnal, but I hope I can do it in daylight.
Good luck Greg.
Greg, do you hook many fish when the moon is this bright?
If so, please tell us how?

Moonlit Fishin in RI Surf
I know there are a few members beside myself that fish moonlit nights, particularly when I can't get out in the day or otherwise.
I am planning on going out and fishing around Matunuck Rhode Island Monday, Wednesday and friday nights starting around 10pm. Could be in the surf or the breachways If I can't find fish there. If you interested in joining me just let me know perhaps we can meet up to fish.

Smallmouth encroachment of the Rapid River
This is nothing new to the flyfishers in Maine, but I wanted to share this recent article with others to again underline the effects of illegal introductions.

Angling for a solution
By DEIRDRE FLEMING, Portland Press Herald Writer
Copyright © 2003 Blethen Maine Newspapers Inc.
TOWNSHIP C Unlike many rivers in Maine, the Rapid River falls more than 1,000 feet within several miles, creating an unusual riverine system that is a fisherman's haven full of productive pools and world-class brook trout fishing. Its physical habitat and water temperature is such that the river is home to an abundance of insect life, enough to produce many large brook trout.
The Rangeley region river eventually drains into Umbagog Lake in New Hampshire. It's there that bass were illegally introduced several years ago. The prolific fish quickly became well established and in 1998, the smallmouth bass had reached the lower Rapid River, according to the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
Last year, bass were found farther up the river.
Now, the fishery that has been sought after by anglers from around the world for more than 100 years will lose its value in the next few years, say state biologists.
"Within five years, the big ones will move out," said biologist Forrest Bonney. "Brook trout only live to be 5 years old. The big brook trout anglers are catching now are from 3 to 4 years old."
On a hot August day, William Ruprecht only had a short walk from the house he was helping to refurbish down a grassy bank to fish the Rapid River. Ruprecht has been living in Rangeley since 1981 and coming to the Rangeley area to fish the Rapid since 1971.
He enjoys fishing for bass. But saving one of Maine's few natural trout hatcheries makes sense, he said.
"People are really worried about it, and I guess I am too. I don't know enough about bass. All I know is I like to fish," Ruprecht said. "Fishing is fishing. But I talk to a lot from people from Maine. People are dead against bass being in there."
Whitney Carter bought Lakewood Camps on Lower Richardson Lake two years ago with his wife and parents. Carter didn't know about the numbers of bass in the Rapid River then, but he worries now.
The remote, pristine Rangeley Lake region has less development compared to other popular fishing destinations and, for that reason, Carter said it will always be a favorite spot for anglers. But in five to 10 years, he said, he'll have to market it as a bass fishery more than as a trout-fishing destination.
Then, Carter said, it will mean an end to the throngs of fly fishermen who come from New Zealand and Europe to spend days searching for bugs under rocks and duplicating them in fly patterns before spending hours on the Rapid River fishing for large brook trout.
They'll start going to more northerly waters, like those in Labrador, Carter said.
The system of lakes that connects to the Rapid River starts in Rangeley Lake and runs through five different lakes.
At the south end of Mooselookmeguntic Lake, the lake connects to Upper Richardson, which flows into Lower Richardson Lake. There it drains into the Rapid River at Middle Dam.
Most recently, bass were found in Lower Richardson Lake, according to sporting camp owner Carter, who gave a bass caught there two weeks ago to state biologists.
Bonney has the 10-inch bass in a freezer in Strong.
According to Bonney, it is impossible to extirpate the smallmouth species in the Rapid River and doing nothing to cull the population will mean the demise of the brook trout. To combat the problem of the growing numbers of bass, the department has proposed regulations.
On Aug. 11 in Rangeley, the department held a public hearing on proposed fishing regulations that would open up the Rapid River to fishermen using spinning rods, as well as fly rods, increase the number of landlocked salmon fishermen could take there, and close a section of the river the last two weeks of September, a popular time for fly fishermen.
The department has proposed the regulations to increase the daily bag limit on salmon from one to two a day in order to protect the brook trout. There already is no bag limit on bass in the river; the department is encouraging anglers to catch and kill bass there.
In addition to the proposed regulations, Gov. John Baldacci recently signed legislation that will make it illegal to transfer live fish to help stem the spread of illegally stocked fish, a problem which has reached epidemic proportions in Maine.
From 1986 to 2000, there were 59 documented illegal bass introductions statewide, according to the department.
The new legislation makes it illegal to take any legal fish, except baitfish and smelts, from inland waters and transport them. Before, it was illegal to remove fish from one fishery and move them to another, but wardens had to catch a person dumping the fish in a body of water.
Now, violators will lose their fishing license and face a fine of $1,000 to $10,000 just for transporting fish.
Col. Tim Peabody of the Maine Warden Service said these laws are "an important tool for us in combating the epidemic of illegal stockings."
But even catching those responsible for spreading bass around the state would not reverse the chain of events illegal introductions have caused in some prime fishing waters.
"I've had people say to me, 'We know who put bass in Umbagog,' " said Jeff Reardon, New England conservation director for Trout Unlimited. "This is hard enough to do . . . that it takes some thinking to do it. I don't think a kid with a bait bucket did it. Somebody made a decision to move bass from one to the other."
Retired warden Eric Wight wonders how rules can be enforced in places like Township C, where the mouth of the Rapid River is found.
"A warden could not stay there all summer. It's not practical, even reasonable. The point is, the river already suffers from overcrowding," Wight said. "I feel if we open it up to general law (artificial lures only), we've opened a Pandora's box . . . It's extremely difficult to enforce. It would be quite safe (breaking the law) with the Warden Service numbers down."
There are already 7,000 anglers each year who fish the Rapid River, according to the department.
The river right now is fly fishing only. Opening it up to spincasters as well would creating even more traffic on the short river.
"When you see 17 people fishing in the same pool at 4:30 in the morning in June, that's unimaginable up in the wilderness," Wight said. "It doesn't need any more pressure."
State biologists readily point out that the artificial lures only regulation is not popular among anglers.
"A lot of anglers did not like the sound of artificial lures only, even for a good cause," Bonney said. "In their words, it should always remain fly fishing only."
The closure of the river after Sept. 15 will hurt area guides and sporting camps, such as Lakewood Camps.
But Carter said Lakewood is willing to weather the effects of the regulations for the cause of helping the brook trout.
Still many who live in the region and work for the state wonder how much good the regulations will do.
"It's very bad," Bonney said when asked of the future of the river. "The bass are not just competing (with the trout) for food and space, they're preying on them."
At Cornell University, graduate student Brian Weidel has used an electro-fishing technique to eliminate some of the bass in a 660-acre lake in the southwest Adirondacks, a lake he said is similar to Pond in the River in the Rapid River.
Weidel said he eliminated about 28,000 bass over the course of three years, enough to help the brook trout fishery there come back to where it was 50 years ago, when the bass were introduced into the lake.
The boat he uses, which Weidel said cost $25,000, has a platform equipped with a high-voltage power unit that sends an electric current into the water, paralyzing the fish. People at the bow then net the fish, killing the invasive species and throwing back the native fish.
He demonstrated the technique in Rangeley in June.
Assistant regional biologist Dave Boucher said the department would have to purchase a boat to use in the Rapid River to adopt the same bass-removing procedure, and then it wouldn't have the staffing to do the job, a job that would have to be done frequently.
"This has to be a forever thing," Boucher said. "We're not going to have any hope of getting rid of bass entirely."
The process, Weidel said, is not intended to eliminate the bass, but it can bring back the numbers of forage fish, which helps the native game fish to thrive again.
However, Weidel said the process of removing large numbers of bass can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $20,000 a year.
Reardon said financially strapped Maine has no choice but to find a way to invest in some process of culling the smallmouth bass population in the Rapid River.
"I think doing nothing isn't an option," Reardon said. "The regulations will not do harm, they may do some good. If for nothing else, they may be an educational tool. . . . But I don't think by themselves they will solve everything."
Based on the public sentiment he's heard, Ruprecht agreed something more needs to be done to save the world-class trout fishery.
"I haven't heard anything positive about what they think people can do, other than close down (the Rapid River to fishing)," he said.

Beer Wholesalers Issue Warning To PA Senators
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The third and final Senate committee hearing on liberalizing the sale of beer, wine and liquor has begun with testimony by wholesalers who warn that Pennsylvania's industry will be hurt if the state issues more beer licenses or takes away shelf space for beer.
The Tuesday hearing is a prelude to a busy June. Gov. Tom Corbett is pressing lawmakers to pass legislation expanding sales of beer, wine and liquor, but a bill that passed the House in March has little support in the Senate.
The committee chairman, Sen. Charles McIlhinney, has said he is leaning toward a plan to allow the state's approximately 12,000 existing private beer licensees to buy licenses to sell wine and liquor, while allowing beer licensees to sell beer in a wider variety of quantities.

Wrinkles are creases in the skin. They are also called rhytids.
Most wrinkles come from aging changes in skin. Aging of the skin, hair and nails is a natural process. There is nothing you can do to slow down the rate of skin aging, but many things in the environment will speed it up.
Frequent exposure to sunlight results in early skin wrinkles and dark areas (liver spots). It also increases the chances of getting skin cancer. Exposure to cigarette smoke can also make the skin wrinkle sooner.
Common causes of wrinkles include:
Stay out of the sun as much as possible to limit skin wrinkles. Wear hats and clothing that protect your skin and use sunscreen when you are outside. Avoid cigarette smoke.
Wrinkles are not usually a cause for concern unless they occur at an early age. Talk to your health care provider if you think that your skin is getting wrinkled faster than normal at an early age. You may need to see a skin specialist (dermatologist) or plastic surgeon.
Your doctor will ask questions such as:
The doctor will examine your skin. You may need a skin lesion biopsy if you have any abnormal growths or skin changes.
Tretinoin (Retin-A) or creams containing alpha-hydroxy acids may sometimes help.
Chemical peels or laser resurfacing work well for early wrinkles.
Creams with growth factors may make fine lines and wrinkles look better.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) may be used to correct some of the wrinkles that are caused by overactive facial muscles.
Some people choose plastic surgery for age-related wrinkles (for example, a facelift).

"Titanfall," a first-person shooter that is being described a potentially pivotal to the success of Microsoft's (MSFT) Xbox One, was one or the hottest tickets on Tuesday night in Austin at the SXSW festival.
The stakes for Microsoft were explained in an article by Ian Sherr of The Wall Street Journal.
Microsoft's unveiling event for SXSW guests drew a line around starting on Congress Street in downtown, around the corner and down 45th Street, and around the corner again and all the way down Brazos Street. The line had clearly been forming for a while by the time the 9 pm kick-off came for the event. A guard at the front of the line said Microsoft would be letting in those waiting in blocks of 150 at a time.
But SXSW is host to many evening parties. Across Brazos Street from the Microsoft line, another queue had formed, albeit shorter, for Yahoo!'s (YHOO) evening cocktail event.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Students prepare tree seedlings for planting. Photo by CBF Staff
CBF believes the best way to learn about the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed is to experience it—to "Learn Outside." We also believe that student leadership has the most impact when students take the initiative on activities and projects. Below are some activities and guides that have helped students successfully complete action projects of their own.
CBF's Student Leadership team advises students and connects them with available resources and opportunities. Please contact us if you have a project underway.
Self-Led Student Action Projects | Schoolyard Habitat | StudentWave (high school)Volunteer Opportunities | Additional Programs
Fix Your Schoolyard Bare Spots (12 pages, three-color, Adobe PDF, 1.2M) Bare spots are places where vegetation (such as plants, shrubs, grasses, flowers) no longer exists in the soil. Bare spots come in all shapes and sizes. The outcome of having any type of bare spot is the same: storm water hits the ground and is not able to soak in to the land. Use this step-by-step guide to fix the bare spots in your school or home yard.
Build Your Own Rain Barrel (4 pages, three-color, Adobe PDF, 612K) Capture rain water from downspouts to reduce runoff and have a water source during droughts using this easy step-by-step guide in how to build and install Rain Barrels.
Build Your Own Rain Garden (8 pages, three-color, Adobe PDF, 627K) Add colorful habitat to your school ground while keeping sediment from choking local streams by using this easy step-by step guide in how to create a Rain Garden.
Storm Drain Stenciling—Many people are not aware that most storm drains lead directly to waterways that dump into the Bay. You can help clean up the Bay by stenciling a message that will help members of your community remember that nothing but rain water should enter the storm drains. Storm drains are not trash cans: whatever is dumped into them ends up in the Chesapeake Bay. Learn more about how to participate in this important project.

Bike to neighbouring Pak Chong to say a proper welcome back to German John. He appears to be on a similar schedule to me now. Needs to go to Laos near the end of January to refresh his visa and is returning to Europe about 23rd March within a day or two of us.
After lunch Jai goes back to the party. I want to see the monk making ceremony but not all the other tosh. I have been here for about a dozen new monks now but have never seen the head shaving etc bit.
I go out to the farm to water the new trees which are all looking fine then return to water the garden which isnt looking so good.
The monk making parade around the village passes us about 16:30 and I make the effort to come out ad watch the drunks dance past.
I have been saving myself to go drinking at the party tonight but over dinner Jai decides she is too tired to go and by 18:30 is in bed. I sit our front for a bit then watch a little of Brazil v Libya 5-a-side footer.

A day after getting the parliamentary nod on foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Punjab farmers supported FDI and that it was good for farmers as well as consumers.
Interestingly, Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal, whose party voted against the move on Friday, was all praise for his leadership on Saturday, calling him one of the best economists in the world.
Singh was addressing the golden jubilee convocation of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) in Ludhiana on Saturday.
Speaking after the PM, Badal carefully avoided any mention of FDI.
Singh said FDI would facilitate the introduction of latest technology and equipment in the agriculture sector.
The golden jubilee is an occasion to celebrate the past, but it should also become an occasion to look ahead into the future and help the state scale new heights, the PM said.
Referring to the agrarian crisis in Punjab, Singh asked the state government to address the problem water scarcity in the state. He said the problem was severe in Punjab where 80% of the development blocks were over-exploited. He cautioned against over-exploitation of groundwater to support rice cultivation.
Badal requested Singh to sanction a research centre for soybean to boost farm diversification. Congratulating the PM on the honorary doctorate conferred by the university on the occasion, Badal said he deserved it more than anyone.
He, however, lamented that the Centre paid no heed to the state's repeated requests for a drought package.
Singh also paid tribute to former Punjab chief minister Partap Singh Kairon, calling him the "son of the soil" who laid the foundation for agricultural and industrial development in the state.

Stacy was very helpful today. I am under a time constraint because we are leaving Sunday morning to go skiing. Not your fault of course, but mine. I started out on your web page trying to decide whether I could receive my order in time, but felt like $100 for overnight was a little steep. Stacy sent me her phone number through the chat line and made sure that everything happened so that the order would ship today and I could receive my order on Friday. She was professional, made the correct things happen, and went the extra step. It has been a pleasure doing business. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future."

Today I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, the Dennis Prager Show. I was listening to an older show in which he was talking about values, which, if you listen to his show for more than 10 minutes you will find that values is the main subject and the answer to most of our problems. Anyway, the discussion today was about economics vs. values. The argument was economics does not drive behavior, values drives behavior. Now I am not going to turn this into a political post. I could care less what your political affiliation is or how you view our political process. I am however going to agree with Dennis Prager in his article "Science demands big government". Go ahead and read it for yourself and get back to me. The point that I want to make is that I agree that economics is not the reason for bad behavior.. a lack of values is the reason for bad behavior. We can all point to example after example of 'less fortunate' people that are good citizens, work hard, have good family lives, and do not engage in crime. We can also point to example after example of 'rich' people that are crooks. Individuals that have it all that do terrible things. Just look at Madoff and his gang of financial thugs. Ok.. you get the point there.
It all comes to values. What values you were taught as a youngster and the values that you keep to drive your behavior.
OK… Are you ready for this… THE SCOUT LAW!
Yes ladies and Gentlemen.. the Scout Law has no economic boundaries, no financial limits, no ethnic affiliation, no class structure. The Scout law is a set of values that shape behavior to a positive direction and ultimately ask for good behavior.
Take a look at the 12 points of the Scout Law. These values should be a part of your life. Take these twelve words and look at them closely. Which one is not a good value? Which one would allow you to do harm or demonstrate bad behavior?
The Scout Law is a great foundation for good behavior. No matter where you live or how you were raised. Living the Scout law you can not be a bad person. I challenge you to prove me wrong. Now.. be honest… you really have to live the Scout law.. not just say the words and call it good. Saying words do not constitute "living" the values contained in the Scout law. As much as knowing the 10 commandments without practicing them would not constitute living them.
So if we want to make the world a better place… lets try the Scout law.
One of Baden Powell's ideas in starting Scouting was not to raise future soldiers but to grow a world wide peace movement. The values found within the Scout law are universal and found in one form or another in Scouting organizations around the world.
The original Scout law appeared with the publication of Scouting for Boys in 1908 and is as follows
|A SCOUT'S HONOUR IS TO BE TRUSTED. If a scout says "On my honour it is so," that means it is so, just as if he had taken a most solemn oath. Similarly, if a scout officer says to a scout, "I trust you on your honour to do this," the Scout is bound to carry out the order to the very best of his ability, and to let nothing interfere with his doing so. If a scout were to break his honour by telling a lie, or by not carrying out an order exactly when trusted on his honour to do so, he would cease to be a scout, and must hand over his scout badge and never be allowed to wear it again.
|A SCOUT IS LOYAL to the King, and to his officers, and to his country, and to his employers. He must stick to them through thick and thin against anyone who is their enemy, or who even talks badly of them.
|A SCOUT'S DUTY IS TO BE USEFUL AND TO HELP OTHERS. And he is to do his duty before anything else, even though he gives up his own pleasure, or comfort, or safety to do it. When in difficulty to know which of two things to do, he must ask himself, "Which is my duty?" that is, "Which is best for other people?"—and do that one. He must Be Prepared at any time to save life, or to help injured persons. And he must do a good turn to somebody every day.
|A SCOUT IS A FRIEND TO ALL, AND A BROTHER TO EVERY OTHER SCOUT, NO MATTER TO WHAT SOCIAL CLASS THE OTHER BELONGS. If a scout meets another scout, even though a stranger to him, he must speak to him, and help him in any way that he can, either to carry out the duty he is then doing, or by giving him food, or, as far as possible, anything that he may be in want of. A scout must never be a SNOB. A snob is one who looks down upon another because he is poorer, or who is poor and resents another because he is rich. A scout accepts the other man as he finds him, and makes the best of him — "Kim," the boy scout, was called by the Indians "Little friend of all the world," and that is the name which every scout should earn for himself.
|A SCOUT IS COURTEOUS: That is, he is polite to all—but especially to women and children and old people and invalids, cripples, etc. And he must not take any reward for being helpful or courteous.
|A SCOUT IS A FRIEND TO ANIMALS. He should save them as far as possible from pain, and should not kill any animal unnecessarily, even if it is only a fly—for it is one of God's creatures.
|A SCOUT OBEYS ORDERS of his patrol-leader, or scout master without question. Even if he gets an order he does not like, he must do as soldiers and sailors do, he must carry it out all the same because it is his duty; and after he has done it he can come and state any reasons against it: but he must carry out the order at once. That is discipline.
|A SCOUT SMILES AND WHISTLES under all circumstances. When he gets an order he should obey it cheerily and readily, not in a slow, hang-dog sort of way. Scouts never grouse at hardships, nor whine at each other, nor swear when put out. When you just miss a train, or some one treads on your favourite corn—not that a scout ought to have such things as corns— or under any annoying circumstances, you should force yourself to smile at once, and then whistle a tune, and you will be all right. A scout goes about with a smile on and whistling. It cheers him and cheers other people, especially in time of danger, for he keeps it up then all the same. The punishment for swearing or bad language is for each offence a mug of cold water to be poured down the offender's sleeve by the other scouts.
|A SCOUT IS THRIFTY, that is, he saves every penny he can, and puts it in the bank, so that he may have money to keep himself when out of work, and thus not make himself a burden to others; or that he may have money to give away to others when they need it.
These were written for the Scouts in the whole world, yet of course it focused on Scouting in the United Kingdom. As other groups started up Scouting organizations, each modified the laws, for instance 'loyal to the King' would be replaced by the equivalent text appropriate for each country.
Baden Powell later added 'A Scout is Clean in thought and word and Deed' in the 1911 edition of Scouting for Boys.
The Law around the world is similar. In Australia the Scout law reads:
A Scout is trustworthy, A Scout is Loyal, A Scout is helpful, A Scout is friendly, A Scout is cheerful, A Scout is considerate, A Scout is thrifty, A Scout is courageous, A Scout is respectful, A Scout cares for the environment.
In Bangladesh the Law looks like this: A Scout's honour is to be trusted. A Scout is a friend to all. A Scout is courteous and obedient. A Scout is kind to animals. A Scout is cheerful at all times. A Scout is thrifty. A Scout is clean in thought,word and deed.
In Germany the Scouts say the Scout Law in this manner; As a boy scout …… I meet everybody with respect. All scouts are my brothers and sisters. … I go through the world confidently. … I am courteous and helpful wherever this is necessary. … I shall not do things just by halves and shall not give up, even in difficult situations. … I shall develop my own opinion and stand by it. … I shall say what I think and do what I say. … I shall live modestly and in an environmental conscience manner. … I shall stand by my origins and my faith.
And finally, in Scout Africa the Scouts understand their values like this; A Scout's honour is to be trusted. A Scout is loyal. A Scout's duty is to be useful and to help others. A Scout is a friend to all and a brother to every other Scout. A Scout is courteous. A Scout is a friend to animals. A Scout obeys orders. A Scout smiles and whistles under all difficulties. A Scout is thrifty. A Scout is clean in thought, word and deed.
Given the fact that all of these places on our planet where boys and girls learn through the Scouting movement and share a common set of values.. should we not have a better world? The answer is yes.. BUT… First. We need more people to be in Scouts and more important… we need the Scouts to not just recite or rattle off the words of the Scout law. We need them to LIVE IT!
So take a look at the Scout law.. can you handle it? Can you live it? Can it change behavior?
I think so.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

According to the latest National Surveys on Energy Environment, a twice-yearly survey conducted by the University of Michigan and Muhlenberg College, "Just 15% of Americans say that there is no solid evidence that the Earth is warming, down from 24% a year ago, and the lowest in the NSEE's h
"One in seven Americans think it is definitely (7%) or probably (9%) true that 'God controls the climate, therefore people can't be causing global warming," according to a July 26, 2016, note from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.
The evangelical writer and activist Tim LaHaye died on July 25, 2016, at the age of 90, according to NBC News (July 25, 2016). LaHaye was best known for the Left Behind series of novels, coauthored with Jerry B. Jenkins, in which he imagined the Apocalypse unfolding according to his premillennialist and pretribulationist understanding of Scripture. In 2005, Time magazine included LaHaye and his wife Beverly LaHaye — founder of Concerned Women for America — in its list of the twenty-five most influential evangelicals in America.

Sat for a while this morning before work. I hunted a different spot much closer to the road and couldn't hear any gobbles. It rained hard a lot of yesterday and I thought that might get 'em fired up today. No so much...at least where I was. Saw one mature hen, a couple of jenny hens, and one noisy Jake (probably the same one I saw last Thursday). It was cooler this morning compared to what it has been, that might have shut 'em up.
One of the neighbors said he heard a shot yesterday morning just past dawn on the other side of his property (a long way from where we hunt) before the heavy rains hit.
Saturday looks like the next chance I'll get to hunt again. We have had thunder storms every Saturday of the season so far and they are predicted again for next Saturday afternoon.

What is the best equipment to buy to scan slides at home? My parents have hundreds of slides that are rapidly deteriorating. It would be cost prohibitive to send the slides to a scanning service.
Thanks in advance for any pointers!

I use the Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner. I have scanned literally hundreds of slides, photos and old scrapbooks, even some newsprint. The slides turned out great but I did have to work with them in Photoshop because they had turned red with age. But once "fixed up" they looked great. This Epson comes with a tray which allows you to scan more than one size of slide, as well as negatives. I use this scanner a great deal. The only problem I had was this: we had a couple of severe power outages and my scanner was fried because I didn't plug it directly into my UPS backup power supply - point to remember for all the computer peripherals Hope this has helped.

I, too, would love to spend an afternoon with you, April, scanning the slides. Unfortunately, the slides are located in Fort Worth, Texas, not Oregon! I have an Epson Perfection V300 Photo scanner that I've used to scan hundreds of photos. I guess I was hoping that there was an inexpensive scanner that scanned more than 4 slides at a time and that would allow me to sit and visit with my parents while scanning rather than sitting in front of a computer.

It's been a while since I sneezed here, almost a year! I guess I'm not the diary sort anymore. I write a few articles these days, between managing a small development team in Canuckia. A few recent musings:
Now I know that OO and FC aren't perfect, but I am really enjoying them on a daily basis. I read a rebuttle of OO performance recently, but really haven't seen that sort of madness with my deskop. OO isn't perfect, but it's damned reasonable (and better than Office in at least a few ways). I'm glad, at least, at the abundance of good, liberated wares.

Category: Seastars and relatives view all from this category
Description Pisaster ochraceus, generally known as the Purple Sea Star, Ochre Sea Star or Ochre Starfish, is a common starfish found among the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
This sea star has five stout rays that range in length from 10 to 25 centimeters (4 to 10 in). The rays are arranged around an ill-defined central disk. While most individuals are purple, they can be orange, orange-ochre, yellow, reddish, or brown. The aboral surface contains many small spines (ossicles) that are arranged in a netlike or pentagonal pattern on the central disk. The ossicles are no higher than 2 mm. In Pisaster the tube feet have suckers on their distal ends which allow them to attach to the rocky substrate and live in heavily wave-swept areas.
Two species that can be mistaken as Pisaster ochraceus are Pisaster giganteus, which has blue rings around white or purple spines, and Pisaster brevispinus, which is pink with small white spines. These two species have different aboral spines and coloration which allows one to distinguish between the species. Evasterias troschelii may be confused with Pisaster ochraceus at times as well. It can be distinguished from Pisaster ochraceus because Evasterias troschelii has a smaller disk size and longer, tapering rays which are often thickest a short distance out from the base rather than at the base as in Pisaster ochraceus.
Habitat Rocks, Piers, driftwood & pilings, Ocean or bay shallows.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Latest NA Atl. Salmon River Reports - July 17 2009
Latest North American Atlantic Salmon River Reports - from the Atlantic Salmon Federation
There were reports from Quebec rivers of very good runs of large salmon. In the Gaspé region, counts carried out in July indicated good numbers of salmon on the Dartmouth and York rivers, but few grilse. To July 13, the Matane River had a run of 537 (505 salmon) compared to 431 fish last year at the same time. The Grand Cascapedia River is having a good run of salmon, and July is shaping up to be a very good angling month, with a 90% release rate.
Numbers were pretty disappointing on the Little Cascapedia and Grande rivers. The fish being caught though are a good size, averaging around 17 lbs. Fresh fish showed up with a bump in the water on July 13. The Bonaventure River was fishing well.
On the Lower St. Lawrence, fewer fish (297) had been caught on the Matapedia than last year (458). The season on the Causapscal River ended on July 15. Anglers saw and caught many large salmon, a few more than in 2008.
On the North Shore St. Lawrence, catches were down to 155 (133 salmon) this year on the Godbout from 222 (71 salmon) last year.
The Penobscot River is having another encouraging year. As of July 13, a total of 1,822 salmon had been trapped at Veazie compared to 1,904 in 2008 as of the same date.
Nova Scotia
The water was low by July 12 on the Cheticamp, Margaree and Sackville rivers and temperatures were beginning to warm, slowing the fishing. No river was producing really well, but there were reports of fish in the estuaries and near river mouths, waiting for the water to rise. Water levels on the Lahave were still fishable. The St. Marys had some good fishing in the lower pools.
Newfoundland and Labrador
Central Newfoundland rivers were the hot spot for good fishing. There were strong runs on the Exploits and Campbellton rivers. Counts on these two rivers were better than the 5-year average (2004 2008). The Gander count had decreased slightly to July 12.
Counts on Middle Brook and Terra Nova rivers were about the same as last year and the Northwest River was showing a significant increase.
The Bay St. George rivers had poor water and fishing. Fish were spotted in the tidal areas.
Harrys River had picked up a bit by July 14, with good signs of fish. The count was slightly down from the previous 5-year average.
The Serpentine, Humber and Lomond rivers had good water levels and temperatures. Anglers were seeing far fewer fish then last year.
The counts on the Torrent River and Western Arm Brook had decreased significantly compared to last year.
The Avalon Peninsula rivers had low water and warm temperatures. Still there were some salmon and good fishing.
In southern Labrador, water on the Pinware River was high with few fish taken, although there were signs of fish in the tidal pools. The Eagle River had low water and slow fishing. Water on the Forteau River was low. Counts at the Sand Hill, Muddy Bay Brook and Paradise rivers were small fractions of last year.
New Brunswick
By July 16, the good run of salmon to the Miramichi River continued and grilse runs were picking up. Anglers were catching and releasing salmon in the 20 to 30 lb. range on the Main Southwest Miramichi in high, but very fishable waters.
On the Northwest Miramichi, angling results were variable with some pools fishing well. Big salmon were taking advantage of good water levels to swim upstream, generally not stopping to take flies.
The Little Southwest Miramichi had high, but fishable waters. The Sevogle River was fishing very well as water levels dropped.
Salmon counts for the Miramichi were indicating the same or higher than last year, except for the Northwest Protection Barrier that was down by half. Grilse numbers were small fractions of last years counts.
Anglers on the Restigouche River were still experiencing better fishing in the upper reaches as salmon took advantage of high water to go quickly upstream. Salmon counts on the Upsalquitch River were up from 107 in 2008 to 173 and grilse counts were way down (53 compared to 369 last year).
To see more details on individual rivers and counting fence data, go to www.asf.ca and click on river counts or river reports under Summer 2009 Special Links at the top of the page.
Best wishes for good fishing in the days and weeks ahead.

NASA's rover Curiosity has checked-in on Mars - using the mobile application Foursquare.
The rover is the first to check-in on another planet, allowing users of the app to follow the rover's whereabouts and see photos taken while it explores the Red Planet.
David Weaver, associate administrator for communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said the use of Foursquare will "help to involve the public with the mission and give them a sense of the rover's travels through Gale Crater".
The use of Foursquare is the latest move by NASA to engage social media with the Mars rovers mission. The rover also has Twitter and Facebook accounts.
NASA hoped Curiosity's use of Foursquare would "generate an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics".
Foursquare users can check out Curiosity Rover's updates and photos here.
Curiosity landed in Gale Crater last month and is now making its way towards the 5km-tall Mount Sharp, as part of its 23-month exploration of Mars.

(As long as I remember to rename each output file with a different name )
Just as a suggestion, maybe there can be an option to append certain encode settings to the end of the filename like "AMV_crf20.mp4" That way, output filenames could be generated automatically. But either way, I really dig the batch support right now.
I can't really see a way of making that work. How is it to know what settings to put there? Maybe you intend to change the crf on each encode, but maybe someone else will be keeping it the same, and changing the AQ settings? Theres really no way to know what the user wants unless they manually specify it, which pretty much just brings us back to changing the filename to however you want it to be :p
